“Charmy was a wonderful dog sitter and a true companion for my little Maltipoo dog. She sent a photo with updates whenever asked, and I felt completely at ease with her skillful approach to keeping my dog calm and happy. 100% recommended to anyone looking for a friendly and trustworthy dog sitter!”

“Anita was like a dream come true version of the absolute best dog sitter! She was so delightful, as a lovely person to fully trust and especially to be with my dog Lola. Normally, Lola cries whenever I leave her, but Anita gave Lola all the cuddles and attention to keep her perfectly calm. Anita is 100% the best dog sitter I have ever known, and she will be my first choice to be entrusted with Lola!”

Mark S.

“I can't recommend Mehalah enough. She stayed with my three dogs and cat while I was out of the country and did a fabulous job! She kept me updated with pictures of them and took the pups on adventures to the park which they absolutely loved (I could tell by their happy pup faces). When I returned, my home was clean and tidy-the dishes were even done! Honestly, I wish I could have Mehalah all to myself-she's that wonderful!”

Pam C.

About: Experienced and reliable pet sitter with a background in kennels, grooming, training and doggy day care. Confident with all breeds and temperaments, I provide calm, tailored care and treat every pet like my own — with regular updates, photos and videos so you can relax knowing they’re in safe hands 🐾 Hi, I’ve been caring for animals since I was 16 and have built up hands-on experience across a range of roles. I started working in kennels and catteries as a kennel/cattery assistant, before expanding my skills into dog grooming, training, and doggy day care. This experience means I’m confident handling a variety of breeds, temperaments and needs — from high-energy dogs to those who need a calmer, more patient approach. I have two French Bulldogs of my own and have grown up around all types of animals, so caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I have a particular soft spot for bully breeds, Chihuahuas, Dobermans and Rottweilers, but I genuinely love working with all dogs and cats. I also adore cats (especially British Blues and black cats with green eyes!). Alongside this, I’m a big fan of aquatic animals — I even have an axolotl called Axol 🥰 I pride myself on being reliable, attentive and easy to communicate with. I understand how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet, so I always provide regular updates, photos and videos to keep you reassured every step of the way I’m currently working full time as a trainee conveyancer. My weekend availability is completely free, and ready to be booked. I am home from 6:30 every evening where I can attend to local clients (Please contact me and I can see if you are on my way home from work.) I focus on maintaining your dog’s usual routine so they feel comfortable, settled and secure in their own environment. I follow all instructions carefully, from feeding and walks to any specific behaviours or preferences your dog has. I provide attentive, tailored care — whether that’s structured walks, playtime or calm companionship — adapting to suit your dog’s personality. I treat every home with the utmost respect, ensuring it’s kept clean, tidy and secure at all times, and exactly as you left it. You’ll also receive regular updates, photos and videos, so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe and well looked after.

“Absolutely BRILLIANT! Dash is a very sensitive dog but he settled incredibly quickly. He had a lovely time with Amanda, went on some adventures and really enjoyed his stay!”

About: I have had 3 dogs throughout my life (as well as a cat, hamster and fish to name a few!) I have always loved animals and caring for them. When family or friends are away, many of them look towards me to look after their pet as they know they will get the best care and love for their pet. I have a pet care business myself where i am fully insured and DBS checked and many people recommend me! Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior dog, an independent cat or a nervous rescue, I take the time to get to know each pet and care for them as if they were my own. I offer house sitting, drop in visits and dog walking, and I’m happy to stick closely to your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if required) and lots of affection. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m reliable and organised, and my goal is always to make every pet feel comfortable, loved and stress-free while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your furry family! I work as a primary school cleaner in afternoons (very short shifts) so I am currently available all summer holidays and will be available from September as well with slightly varying hours. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priority. To help me provide the best possible care, please let me know before your booking about any medical conditions, medications, allergies, behavioural quirks, anxiety, aggression, escape tendencies, or anything else I should be aware of. As I’ll be caring for your pet in your home, I ask that it is safe and secure, and that I’m informed of any alarms, access instructions, hazards, or other pets in the household. In the event of an emergency, I will always try to contact you first and, if necessary, seek veterinary care in your pet’s best interests. I will always treat your home with respect, follow your instructions carefully, keep your property secure, and leave everything as I found it.

“Hannah was very quick to respond to my last minute request for a dog sitter for the weekend. She was able to arrange for cover while she had other commitments. Hannah was great with Kylo and was very prepared, she kept me updated how he was which helped with my nerves. I highly recommend Hannah to look after their pets.”

“I was worried leaving our rescue dog for the 1st time especially as she can be nervous however she took to Amelie straight away. We were kept regularly updated with how the dogs were doing and they seemed content. We came home to a nice clean looked home and happy dogs. Highly recommend”

About: Both myself & partner work from home so are able to give lots of cuddles and walks. We have a gorgeous puppy called coco who loves being around other dogs. We have grown up around dogs and would love to have our coco around other dogs as often as possible. We are able to stick to routines that your dogs have and allow full access of the house & garden (if this is what you want for your dog) x I work from home so plenty of love to give, lots of walks & cuddles. I have a cockapoo too who loves other dogs and would love the company. We have a fenced garden totally safe and big to run around, plus a very loving home that they are free to roam wherever they would like.

“Karen looked after my house cats for 2 weeks over Christmas. She was great. I came back to 2 well cared for boys and a clean house. She was in regular contact with photos and updates whilst I was away. Very professional and I highly recommend”

From the few meet ups before the week booked, communicated well throughout the week with written and photo updates, our house and dog were both well looked after for the week! Would def be using her service again! Thank you again Ailish!”

Francesca S.

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I also volunteered at a dog shelter for 6 years, where I cared for rescue dogs by feeding, walking, cleaning kennels, providing enrichment, and helping nervous or shy dogs build confidence around people. I’m comfortable looking after puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I always tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs and routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I treat every dog as if they were my own. My priority is ensuring every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care.

“Jane took great of my beloved dog. Caramel. Even during the heatwave, she made sure Caramel got her walks in early morning and late evening. Also the house was left clean and tidy. Thank you Jane!”
