“Lewis was absolutely perfect for Rebus our 8 year old German Shepherd with lots of mobility issues. We were so nervous about leaving him but the home visits were exactly what we needed and Lewis quickly enabled us to relax and stop worrying about our baby. We received reassuring text and pics after each visit (9 in all). He required medication twice a day and everything was dealt with extremely professionally. We would not hesitate to use Lewis again in the future. He is kind and genuinely gives 100% to his job.”


“I’ve used Hannah twice now as a cat sitter for my two cats and I honestly couldn’t recommend her more. She’s friendly, super reliable, and clearly loves animals. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in safe hands while I’m away. Hannah gives great updates and really takes the time to care for them properly. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”


“Sarah has been fantastic with Coupar right from the start. She kindly came out for a meet-and-greet beforehand (at no extra charge), which was really helpful and gave me peace of mind. On the day of the walk, she arrived exactly on time, followed my instructions perfectly and made everything feel seamless and stress-free. Coupar was clearly happy and relaxed afterwards, and it was lovely to receive photos from their walk. Sarah followed everything to the letter, including feeding him after the walk, and it was clear she genuinely cares. I’d absolutely book her again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others!”


“Haleh is brilliant and Parker absolutely adores her days with her. Haleh is incredibly attentive, and is excellent in helping train our dog and socialise her with other animals. I fully trust Haleh with Parker and know she is always well taken care of - even if Parker can be a bit of a handful sometimes. When I tell Parker that Haleh is coming to see her she gets super excited, which is a great sign too. Thank you for all your help Haleh - you are brilliant with our pup!”


About: I have many years experience as a dog owner from childhood and, more recently, having done over 50 petsits since 2020 caring for a wide variety of dogs, cats, small animals, chickens and the occasional pony/horse. I adore animals and pride myself on ensuring that pets are safe and secure in their own home while their pet parents are absent. I am spotlessly clean and organised and work around the routine of the animals I care for, while ensuring that the home I am staying in is kept immaculately clean and secure. I currently work online as an English language tutor, approximately 3 mornings a week for a total of around 10 hours. This has always worked out well and complimented my pet-caring work as the teaching fits well around caring for animals in their homes. However, I emphasise that I work around the individual needs and routine of the animals I care for as they are the utmost priority. Before accepting a petsit, I make absolutely sure that the 'fit' is right for both me, the home owner and, most importantly, for the animal. If I feel that I can't provide exactly the care that an animal requires, then I will not accept the work. I do this first and foremost because I love animals. I like to make sure that the home/animal owner fills me in completely on what is required to both care for their pets and their home and that everything is in place to ensure confidence from everyone concerned. Once I am certain that I can confidently provide what is required I am prepared to accept a new client.

About: Hi! I’m currently a dog walker, with a real love for animals and years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities as my friends and family have a variety of breeds. I currently have a 10-year-old beagle that we have had from a puppy. I tailor every walk to your dog’s needs. I have some cat and kitten experience as a few family members have them, so I am confident and comfortable around cats too. I’m reliable and always treat your pets like they’re my own. If you’re looking for someone caring and trustworthy, I’d love to help—your pet is in safe hands with me! I am currently on maternity leave so I have lots of time to take care of your baby and make sure they are getting lots of attention. I have a fully fenced enclosed garden to keep pets safe. They can have lots of fun with my friendly beagle that loves all dogs and company

“Claire done some pop in visits to my home to take care of my puppy while I was away. She and her husband were amazing, and took really good care of my dog. They are very responsible and always look for the best way to take care of him. Couldn’t recommend enough.”


About: Myself and my two children (10 and 6) would take the best care of your little fur baby. They would love a dog too :) I am off every Tuesday and friday and weekends. So I could walk your fur babies on my days off I would love that alot My house is very pet friendly and safe for animals. My kids are very gentle with animals too they love every animal especially dogs cats

About: **I have returned to working full time, however would love to care for your fur baby at weekends - if you require a long weekend or an evening, just drop me a message and I'll do my best to accommodate** I have loved animals for as long as I can remember and was lucky enough to have grown up always having a dog in the family. I have a keen interest in animal welfare and adopted my own rescue dog from the SSPCA. Sadly I lost my beloved Spencer, a British Bulldog, last summer but have kept my love of dogs alive by volunteering with a bulldog rescue and dog sitting for friends and family. I'm now in a position where I am home most of the day and since I was always very particular as to who looked after Spencer, I thought that now I'm in a position to do so, I'd love to be that trusted person for others! I'm also available for day care and dog walking. Also happy to do little check ins too if your dog is anything like Spencer was, and just needs a little attention and a snack! I'm currently taking some time out from the corporate world so will have plenty time to give your dog lots of attention. I have experience with young and senior dogs and welcome all breeds. I have a fenced back garden to keep your dog safe and secure. There are also plenty walks a stones throw away if your dog is nervous in the car, along with country parks a short drive away.

About: I've grown up with cats so very familiar with them. Have been around dogs my whole life. I have been pet sitting for the last 3 years for family dogs I work from home, 7 days a week. If for any reason I have to be away for work, I will not commit to that day. I have a small, fenced, private garden. Right behind my house is a massive field where dogs like to play aswell as local paths for walks away from the main roads

About: I’ve grown up taking care of cats and dogs my whole life, often multiple pets at the same time (including feeding, bathing, walking, and more importantly playing with them). I love giving cats and dogs the love and care they deserve and find happiness in looking after them. I currently work full-time as a cyber security consultant which is a fully remote job so I have all the time working from the comforts of my home. I have most evenings and weekends free. I have my own house with its own private fenced backyard. I live in a great estate and live mere seconds from a large park which is great for dog walking and playing!

About: My partner Joe and I bring years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I’ve been caring for my two beloved senior dogs, Ruby and Bella, for over three years. They needed a lot of extra love and attention, including oral medication, hand-feeding, and gentle care tailored to their needs. Ruby has now moved to Lanzarote with family, and sadly, Bella is no longer with us. Our home feels a little too quiet without them, and we’d love the chance to care for some new furry friends and share that love again. Joe has raised and trained dogs since childhood, building strong, trusting relationships especially with Bella. His calm, steady presence and natural connection with animals make him especially good with dogs of all temperaments. Together, we offer gentle, experienced care filled with patience, love and reliability. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine we prioritise walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship, making sure pets feel safe, loved, and well looked after. We create a calm, pet-friendly space with plenty of love, play, and routine. Pets get individual attention, regular exercise, safe surroundings, and all the comforts of home.

About: I have had full time care of my own two dogs, for two and a half years. Both my dogs have disabilities and require medication. I work casually and accept shifts I choose. Should I be booked I would be at home all day and not accept any shifts. I would make the dog the priority. I have a fenced back garden where your fur baby can play with mine (or alone if specified) I would stick to the pet’s normal routine as far as humanly possible. I live a two minute car ride from the vet. I walk dogs in woods and parks.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve provided reliable pet sitting, dog walking, and overnight care for friends and family. I’m comfortable with pets of all temperaments and energy levels—from playful puppies to senior pets needing extra love and attention. Whether your dog needs long walks, your cat needs a cuddle buddy, or your pets just need someone trustworthy while you’re away, I’m here to help! I always keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in great hands. In addition to caring for pets, I’ve also started making custom pet collars by hand—it’s a creative way for me to show how much I adore animals! Every collar is made with love, just like the care I provide for every pet I meet. Whether it’s during a walk, a stay, or a drop-in visit, I love connecting with pets on a deeper level and making sure they feel happy, safe, and special. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your pets! Whether it’s mid-day walks, drop-in visits, or extended stays, I’m available to give your furry friend the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. My schedule allows me to be reliable, responsive, and fully present—your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked. I have a fenced yard, therefore you don’t worry about your pups. Currently I don’t have any pets and your dogs don’t get nervous! I clean up after the dog and I can feed them if it’s needed.

About: I have grown up and looked after Dogs and Cats for years. I have trained my own puppy and have looked after numerous friends, family and client's pets for long periods of times. I absolutely adore looking after all your little ones & Sky adores having friends stay at her home. I work from home everyday as I run my own Online Coaching Business so I have no problem looking after little ones running around me! I choose my own hours and am very flexible. I normally work around the pup’s schedule so they feel just at home and happy to cater in any way. I have a fenced open garden with a locked gate. My puppy stays in the kitchen when I am out with white noise to avoid any distractions. We tend to split the dogs in the day if we do go out, so they have their well earned rest before they go back into play mode. I live right on the doorstep of the Murieston Trails which we regularly walk our pup down as there is lots to explore! I do have a crate but Sky is happy lounging on the sofa or in her bed and same goes for your own pups. She also sleeps upstairs at night and happy for your pups to sleep where they feel most comfortable at night. Your pups will have fill access to the house and garden throughout the day and night.

About: I have had dogs and cats since I was born. Once I moved away from home 20 years ago, I have looked after Friends pets ever since in France , London and now Scotland. I prefer a household with pets and currently just moved into a new house with no animals allowed so I'm looking to meet some furry friends via this app .. I genuinely think I'm quite strong to handle a larger dog too being a climber since the age of 13. I'm currently available for morning walks before my work around 7.30am for 30 min and free every evening 7 days a week from 6.30pm and have 2 full days off a week . Happy to take overnight boarding but need to discuss in advance. I am also free during Xmas and new years all day every day :) I have a garden from my bedroom and a large bedroom to accommodate pets. I am happy to host dogs on short terms, depending on my work schedule. Please ask or check availability. I try to keep it up to date as much as possible ☺️

Julie M.
“We were so fortunate to find Julie through TrustedHousesitters! From the moment we met her, we could tell she was a natural with our two miniature schnauzerkids, Merlin and LilyBelle. She sent us regular updates and photos, and it was clear our dogs adored her. Julie is incredibly trustworthy – her 50+ five-star reviews speak for themselves! She took such good care of our 'schnildren', walking them daily and catering to their individual needs. It felt like we were leaving them with a friend. We live in a rural area, about 15 minutes from the nearest town, and Julie didn't mind the seclusion at all. In fact, she made herself right at home! We felt so comfortable with her that we were able to travel all the way to South Africa, knowing our dogs were in excellent hands. We returned home to happy dogs and a spotless house. Julie isn't just a petsitter; she's become a true friend, and we hope to stay in touch for years to come. We highly recommend her – she's an absolute gem! Catherine B.”


Zoe F.
“Zoe has been helping me out with my dog Skye for the last 3 years. Any time I need her walked when I’m at work or out Zoe is my go to, even if it’s last minute. She is so reliable and great with Skye. I feel completely comfortable leaving my pet in her care and would recommend to anyone looking for a dog walker or sitter. Five stars!”

Samantha F.
“Sam helps out looking after my little sausage, Spike, when I’m out of town. He absolutely adores her and gets super excited when I tell him she’s coming to look after him again! She’s been a godsend as she keeps me updated regularly with messages and pictures which really puts my mind at ease when I’m not around for the wee man. Can’t recommend her enough!”


Clair C.
“Our 12 year old Pug absolutely loves Clair & there’s no one I would trust more to look after her. Clair really treats her like her own and gives her all the love & snuggles we would & more. Not only is she a massive animal lover but she is incredibly knowledgeable about canine health and well being and I find myself messaging her for recommendations regularly! Highly recommend.”

I travel regularly and Dora takes full responsibility for my dog , who is a scared rescue, but absolutely loves Dora. They go for long walks together, and Dora gives her lots of attention, feeding and looking after her. Dora also helps to look after our friends 1 year old collie who lives nearby. As you can imagine this is hard work! I would not hesitate to recommend Dora to look after anyone's dog !”
