“Highly recommended, meet and greet was great for Buddy and me to meet you. Thank you so much for looking after him for the day taking him out for walks he had a lot of fun and did sleep well :) The pictures and videos were great too.”
“Ben took such amazing care of Marco while we were away for a few days 🐾 Marco had plenty of walks and lots of playtime in the garden. This was one of his first stays with other dogs and Ben did a fantastic job making sure everyone got along. Peace of mind is the most important thing for us when looking for a dog sitter and we had that with Ben”
“Kassandra looked after my little girl for 4 days and night. She is such a lovely lady and clearly cares about the dogs in her care. She sent me regular updates and pictures which was so comforting. I would highly recommend Kassandra and will be taking Coco back for another visit. Thank you Kassandra for being so helpful and flexible. Coco says thank you too x”
“Fernanda and her family were absolutely amazing with Buddy, he had a wonderful time with them and she sent regular photograph. Some videos of him interacting with the whole family. The whole experience has been super. I would highly recommend her as a sitter.”
“I can't recommend Natalia highly enough. She provided excellent care for my two french bulldogs, one of whom suffers from anxiety. Natalia gave me confidence at our meet & greet that she would be the perfect carer ( along with her lovely husband) for my dogs. They were extremely happy & relaxed when I picked them.”
“Abbi was so accommodating and obviously a real dog lover, so it made it easy to leave Leila in her safe hands. She was very easy to communicate with, both before and during the booking. Leila has come home very tired after obviously being very well looked after and cared for. Thank you so much Abbi!”
“If I could give 100 out of 5 I would!! Tracy and Seb are amazing!! They are so warm and friendly and they loved our Lewi like their own. They made us feel so at ease and it was as if we had left Lewi with family. They kept us updated and they went above and beyond to accommodate Lewi and all of his needs. Thank you both, we are so grateful. Lots of love, Yaz and Tiff ❤️”
“Elena looked after Parker for us for two nights. We had met her before at an arranged meet and greet-which went really well. Whilst Parker was in Elena’s care, she kindly sent us regular updates with photographs, so we knew he was ok. Gave us a summary of how he had been on collection. Would recommend Elena. Thank you for having Parker for us.”
“Carlos is amazing. He’s reasonably priced, super reliable and very friendly. I was worried about leaving my dog as she has bad separation anxiety but she had a great time with the whole family and his dog. 10/10 would recommend and will be using again in the future.”

About: Hello, I’m Karen. Having grown up with dogs, especially varying types of spaniels, my love for them has grown even more into adulthood and I understand that dogs are family. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of dogs. I have 40+ years of experience in dog walking and dog care, with a passion for dogs having a happy home. Whether your dog needs extra belly rubs or a patient companion, I am dedicated to providing a safe, loving environment. I believe love is just a tail wag away. Dog people are my people. No matter how long we have our dogs, it's never long enough. My dogs are not pets; my dogs are family. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own dogs and caring for family and friends' dogs over the years. I have plenty of availability to provide love and care for your beloved pet dog. I will take the initiative to slowly build trust with your dog through patient, consistent and compassionate care. I have a secure garden. The garden is surrounded by fencing and hedging, and includes a gate. The garden has a lawn and patio area.
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have always loved caring for them. I’ve had cats since I was young, rescued 3 lovely dogs, worked at a dog daycare in London, and volunteered at dog kennels, so your pets will be in experienced and loving hands 😊 I’ve just moved back from London to be with family and my aim is to do dog walking/sitting full time so my availability is very flexible, I can be free in the week and on weekends. I currently live in a lovely home with my mum, dog and cat with a fenced off garden for your dog to run around, and spaces in the home for your dog to rest and relax! If you need me to come to your home that’s no problem
“Percy & Neville have now stayed with Lyndsey and her Family Twice. The Boys couldn’t have been happier on their second visit, so much so that they didn’t even look back when we dropped them off! Lyndsey sent lots of photos and updates, in which they looked very happy and at home, and both times they have come home with some lovely personalised treats. Thank You So Much, They will be back in December x”
About: As a teacher, I am naturally patient, reliable and caring, and I bring those same qualities to looking after animals. I absolutely adore pets and treat every animal as if they were my own. I do not have children, so my own dog is very much my baby, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can completely trust with your pet. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including looking after neighbours’ pets while they are away on holiday, regularly caring for my parents’ and sister’s pets, and dog walking for elderly neighbours. I am confident with animals of different ages and temperaments and always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable and loved. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet. I know every animal has their own routine, personality and needs, and I am happy to adapt to what makes them happiest. Whether that is long walks, lots of play and attention, or a calm and gentle approach for older or more nervous pets, I will always provide the same level of care that I would expect for my own dog. I currently have 6 weeks off over the summer holidays. Due to not having children, I can be incredibly flexible with pet care. I take my own dog for 3 walks a day anyway and enjoy physical activity. I have one cavapoo boy dog who absolutely loves company. We have a lovely fenced garden that we will often play in, an endless supply of toys and even a small paddling pool for the summer hotter months.
“Dave was a fantastic sitter for my very timid whippet he was so patient with her and took time to understand her ‘unique ways’ I would definitely ask Dave to look after Cagney again.”

“Amy was amazing when looking after my 2 cats doing drop in visits. She went above and beyond making sure they were getting plenty of fuss and that they were being taken care of whilst we were away! Fantastic service and communication, thank you!”
About: I have been passionate about caring for cats from a young age, having grown up with them as cherished family pets and having my own very spoiled princess Fran now, My experience with cats has given me a deep understanding of their unique behaviors, personalities, and needs. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of caring for a variety of cats, allowing me to fine-tune my approach to ensuring they are happy, healthy, and comfortable. I take pride in treating every cat with the same love and care I would give to my own. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, quiet companionship, grooming, or needs medication, I am committed to making them feel safe and well cared for in your absence. I know how important it is for your cat to feel comfortable and stress-free, and I strive to provide that level of attention and care.
“Thank you Philippa. First time I have left my 2 fur boys without anyone at the house. They are too free range to put in cattery. Liquorice enjoyed her drop ins and so did Clint. A huge relief and peace of mind with someone so trust worthy. Loved the updates on the app. Thank you again”
“Fernanda was great. We met a few times beforehand, she got to meet the cats and us which was lovely. She was reassuring, shared videos, photos and updates. She was very lovely with the cats. I happy recommend.”
“Pretty short notice booking and Charlotte was very accommodating and communication was easy. Booboo ran over to her straight away during the meet and got lots of love and cuddles during my week away. I received what's app updates and photo's of Booboo each day. I would recommend Charlotte & wouldn't hesitate to book her again. 😻”
“Oliver had a lovely time being cared for by Jess!! She took the time to meet him beforehand and he immediately took to her which was reassuring, and that was before any treats had even come out!! I received lovely updates and heard that there was lots of playtime and some treats which he loved. I came home to a very happy cat, will definitely rebook!! Thank you, Jess :)”
About: Since I was born, I have grown up in a household with multiple cats. I absolutely adore cats and I understand their subtle body language queues. I have taken care of my neighbours cats whilst they went on holiday and have regularly called in and looked after my sisters bengal.
About: Even if you have the slightest bit of experience with cats, it's well known that cats can have a lot of personality and sometimes boundaries. Whether it's tons of fuss or a little bit of space that's something to be respected. 😺 Growing up with cats my whole life, I am well aware that clean water is an absolute must. During stays I would frequently clean and refill water & food bowls, I would also be sure to maintain litter boxes. 💧 I absolutely adore cats and would treat them as if they were my own, giving them all the love, attention, grooming, play time and/or space that they require. 🥎 Whether they are young or old, I am comfortable caring for cats of all ages. If your cat requires any medication or being bottle fed I would be comfortable administering this for them, providing you tell me specific dosages and if need be, show me how you would typically do this for them. 💊
“Gemma was brilliant at making our slightly timid cat be at ease and our cat warmed up to her in now time. Gemma responds promptly and is a brilliant cat sitter. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their furry friend!”
About: I train, breed and have fostered guide dogs for a number of years. We love all animals and offer a safe loving and fun environment. I'm at home working as a carer, i also craft from home. Dogs are my life alongside my husband. We have lots of free time to spend with your furbaby. We have a secure fenced garden full of toys and play areas with cctv. Our 2 Labradors love having company. We offer plenty of enrichment for those unbearable hot days where it's not safe to take out for walks due to the heat. I have plenty of time,energy to spend with my own girls who love to spend time with newbie playmates. Ball chucks and long walks are a must in our daily routine. I also hold a Enhanced DBS as I volunteer craft days for the local council and also do Facepainting for children, my calendar fits around these activities.
About: I have adored and been around dogs all my life , both mine own and other dogs I've been trusted to look after. I'm experience handling breeds of all sizes and temperaments. From puppies to elderly dogs needing special care, . I have attended dog training and behaviour sessions in order to better understand individual and varieties of dog personalities and there needs. I currently work part time in a shop, but its only one day a week 12-4ish so still plenty of time or visits and walks. Apart from that im a practicing artist and writer working from home, so am available and happy to look after a dog most of the time. My own dog lives in my home so it is a dog-proof and safe place, my dog is a very friendly young spaniel, so if you dog needed to come to my house that would be no problem at all. However i would be inclined to want to look after a dog in its own home to avoid them becoming anxious or overwhelming both dogs. Also having a dog myself means i know some good walking spots and where its safe to let them off leads!
“This is the second time we have booked Kirstie to feed our cats. She goes above any beyond to make sure your pets are happy. Even driving round looking for my troublesome pair who went galavanting for a few days! We are very grateful ”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and dedication I bring to every dog I look after. I’ve been a dog sister (my mum's dog) for over 10 years, so I understand dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. I’m extremely reliable, caring, and attentive, and I always treat each dog as if they were my own. I’m fit, healthy, and active, and I walk every day, which means your dog will get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time tailored to their energy level. I’m confident handling dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, including seniors who need extra patience and gentler care. I’m naturally calm, affectionate, and loving (dog kisses are always welcome!), and I focus on creating a safe, happy, and stress-free environment. Whether it’s long walks, companionship, or simply making sure your dog feels secure and loved while you’re away, you can trust that they’ll be in caring, capable hands with me. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work full time as a teacher, so I’m available for dog walking in the evenings and on weekends. I already walk daily, so fitting pet walks into my schedule is easy and consistent. Dog boarding is available on weekends only, which allows me to give dogs my full attention, plenty of exercise, and lots of companionship without weekday time constraints. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure every pet receives dependable, high-quality care, love, and attention during the times I commit to. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. I always take time to understand a dog’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, training cues, and any special requirements so they feel comfortable and secure. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family. They receive plenty of love, supervision, regular walks, playtime, and a calm, safe environment. I keep routines consistent and make sure dogs have their own space to relax while also enjoying lots of attention and affection. In a pet owner’s home, I respect your space and follow your instructions closely. I focus on maintaining your dog’s normal routine, providing walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and any basic care needed. I’m reliable, tidy, and trustworthy, and I always make sure pets feel happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Jess has ensured our cat has been cared for whilst we had a short break away. Great peace of mind, Jess adds photos and important info to let us know how she is! Would highly recommend.”
About: I have always loved animals. I currently have my adorable 3 year old Goldendoodle Nova and 10 year old cat Percy. I am a huge outdoor person who loves going out walking and exploring so there will always be time for your family members to come and join me. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. I currently work full time Mon-Fri but after 5pm I have all the time in the world for your pets for evening drop ins so you can enjoy a night out without any worries. I am also available at weekends, so if you ever have plans for a weekend away I am able to come make sure your fur babies are not alone. At home I have a secured fenced garden with a padlocked side gate. I have Nova who will always be willing to play in the garden or the local fields. In your home I am flexible to work and support your pets in your usual way to avoid any disruption to their day.

“Hannah helped me out with Minnie so I could attend a funeral away from where we live! Minnie is quite anxious with new people. Hannah was gentle and patient with her. Thank you Hannah for taking such good care of my girl 😊”
“I've just picked River up from Day Care with Kass and it's clear to see that she's had a great time! Kass updated us with messages and pictures of River letting us know that she had settled well 🐾”

“River had a great time with Lucie for daycare 🐾 We booked at short notice and Lucie was quick to respond and happy to arrange a meet & greet before the booking took place. We received updates & photos during Rivers stay and it was clear to see that River has enjoyed her day! Thank you ☺️”

About: As well as many years experience caring for my own dogs at home, I have previously run a dog care business, looking after many dogs of different ages, sizes, breeds and personalities. I have a certificate in Dog Training Essentials, and have even volunteered to look after wildlife abroad. (Not that I can accommodate elephants and cheetahs at home, but you know - I like caring for animals.) I'm a lifelong dog lover and really believe they are our family members to be cherished. Apart from part of my week revolving around school run times, I'm generally at or near home so your dog wouldn't be left alone for too long. I have a small enclosed garden that can be used for toileting and play with my little friendly terrier. Our home is your dog's home.
“Louis was absolutely brilliant. He helped us out with a sit at very short notice and was really friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and you could tell he really loves dogs. Stanley was very happy and we'll definitely be booking again”
About: I have grown up with dogs and pets my whole life and they are welcome in my house. Upstairs too!! Please get in touch if you need my help I have just moved to just outside Shrewsbury and am available to help anytime. I have two children who are boarding school. So I love to keep busy with exercising pets and snuggling on the sofa I live on a farm and have plenty of walking options. Wrekin and haughmond are just around the corner and I have my own dog that I walk daily
“Tracy and Seb managed to fit me in last minute and were so amazing. They welcomed both my dogs and me into their home at drop off and made sure the dogs were comfortable all day especially in the heat. When I picked Missy and Bugs up they both had very waggy tails and could not get enough scratches off them both before we left. Can not wait to book them again.”
About: I've had dogs for the past 8 years and have previously looked after family and friends dogs too as my day job (environmental economist) is 100% remote from home. This means I am always at home with my Golden doodle Briannah and would love to extend our hometo other dogs too either for day care or dog boarding. I enjoy an active life style and live in rural Dorrington within a short walk from an open field and countryside with plenty of opportunities for dogs to exercise on or off the lead. As explained in my bio I work from home so I am typically always in the house during a normal working day. I walk my dog twice a day morning and evening where we go to the nearby field and play fetch or go for a country walk in the surrounding public footpaths. However I can accommodate 3 walks a day if that is what your dog is used to. We have a decent sized fenced garden and I let my dog go out as much as she wants to and I would do the same for yours. If he or she likes company I can set up their dog bed in my study and they can be by my side at all times. As I explained the garden is a good size (around 90m2) and is fenced so there is no way out. I am happy to walk off lead at your recommendation particularly if they like to play fetch but would keep them on the lead otherwise. We have 3 children age ranges 0 to 9 and my older two love to see new dogs and will typically get me to ask if we may pet them whilst we are out and about. As we have a cat dogs who are used to them are preferred. Either way my cat will typically hide at first as she did when we got our dog but with time she learns to trust them.

About: Now experienced dog sitters, Louke and I have both grown up with dogs. At the moment as well as our own dog, Pacey (a rescue Border Collie x Retriever) we also have ‘shared custody’ of Louke’s parents’ Lab Retriever, Oli. We regularly look after our family dogs, which range from Frenchie to Shitzu to Labradoodle. We’ve experience with dogs of all sizes and had dogs from a pup so we’re capable with training too. We understand from having our own anxious boy how hard it can be finding trustworthy sitters who treat your dog like their own, but that is definitely what we will do. We’re happy to continue any training needs your dog may have and have experience with dogs of all ages. I’m very outdoorsy so love going on long walks - my favourite local spot is Nescliffe Hill, but also love an afternoon on the Long Mynd. Louke is at home full time and available to do additional dog walking services, and I work in a hybrid role working from home some days of the week, so we have a great schedule for caring for your four-legged friends. We only have a maximum of five dogs at a time, including our own dog Pacey. We have a walled garden for playing, and some nice spots locally to our home for walks, but will also be taking them out in the car (provided you are comfortable with this) for longer walks. As mentioned above, we have our dog Pacey living with us full time and Oli once or twice a fortnight, and they’re both very easy-going and friendly so plenty of opportunity for your dogs to socialise.
About: Hi! My name is Natalia, I'm 30 years old, from Malaysia and currently living in Shrewsbury. My house has a secured fenced-off garden that your doggies will have full access to, as well as large kitchen, dining room and living room with a comfy sofa and armchairs. I have plenty years of experience caring for my 3 dogs (German Shepherd mix, Malinoise mix and Jack Russell mix) since childhood and owned 2 cats back in Malaysia. I have been on Rover for 2 years caring for over 20 dogs and 2 cats. I'm excited to look after your dogs / cats. I enjoy hiking, walking and love the outdoors. There are many beautiful parks and nature reserves that I regularly walk near to my house. I'd love to have a pawbuddy to walk and play in the open fields together. I always put lots of love and attention into my walking and sitting. I enjoy keeping my furry friends company, playing with them and give lots of cuddles! I will treat them as my own furbabies. I look forward to hearing from you and looking after your pets while you're busy/away 💙 I am now working. Any requests would need to be made atleast 2 days earlier so I can arrange my WFH 2-3 days on weekdays to give lots of attention, love, and care for your pets. My house has backyard fully fenced and garden accessible for your pets. I have arm chairs and big sofa for your pets to snuggle and lay on.
About: Hi, I'm David! I work to ensure that fur babies of all sizes are properly looked after and cared for, with plenty of cuddles and attention. I've spent my life around animals and understand how irreplaceable loved ones are. I am willing to meet up before arrangements to find out whether we're a good fit for each other and your pet(s). Although I am new to this platform, I am not new to what it takes to care for a variety of different animals including Dogs, Cats, Birds, Hamsters, Reptiles and even my sheep named Minty. I love animals and I'm happy to learn how to care for them, even the ones I'm unfamiliar with. That doesn't stop at the type of pet or the personal needs that each may have. I understand that each pet has their own needs, including how long they can comfortably be left alone for. Pets would rarely be left alone for extended periods during my care, and I would send regular photo updates so you can see how they're getting on. Although I have a willingness to learn and adapt, I love animals so much that I would not feel comfortable feeding one animal to another pet (with the exception of bugs/insects). Transparency and honesty are important to me, so feel free to ask me anything. It's very important to me that both you and your fuzzy, fluffy, feathered or even scaly family member feel at peace knowing they're in safe hands. I am also fully DBS checked. In the unlikely event of an emergency, your pet's safety and wellbeing will always be my top priority. I carry a phone at all times and will contact you immediately if any concerns arise. I am available early mornings and evenings. I can walk your pets for around 30 minutes, more or less depending on their needs, and would keep them within Shrewsbury. During stays I can maintain things like litter boxes and enclosures. If you require assistance with more extensive work, we can discuss things further. I look forward to helping. Pet Care 🐾 I work full time from home on a rota that varies between 8AM-9PM, but most shifts are between 8AM-6PM, and I sometimes work on weekends, because of this I don't have a 'set' schedule, however, I would almost always be available during the early morning, evening or on my days off to take care of your pets. Boarding & Drop-In Visits 🏡 Due to me working from home, if you require a pet sitter at your home I would be available on most days, providing that you have accessible Wi-Fi for me to connect my laptop to and a table for me to work at. If you require Drop-In Visits, I can also accommodate these on most days as my work hours can be flexible, but early mornings, lunch time and evenings would work best for me, let me know your preferences on Drop-In times and we can figure something out. 💕🌼 Pets have needs and wants like the rest of us. It's important for us to be in-tune of what they are, just as we would for ourselves. I know that I wouldn't appreciate my bathroom break being put on hold for an hour; when you gotta go, you gotta go! It's the same for them. 💩 I would give your pets frequent 'potty' breaks/walks to match their personal needs. I would also give your pets lots of love and attention throughout the stay and if you have a set schedule that your pet eats at and likes to take walks, please let me know and I will try my best to accommodate you and your pets needs. If your pet requires medicine, I have done this before and would be comfortable with administering that for them, just let me know beforehand precisely what dosage and how you typically provide that for them. 🩺 During home stays I would leave no mess behind and ensure I would maintain your home and any cat litter trays and/or enclosures. 🧼

We have a lovely fenced garden that we will often play in, an endless supply of toys and even a small paddling pool for the summer hotter months.
About: I have lots of spare time and am available at short notice for dog walks and pet sitting and drop ins. I love dogs and cats as I have grown up with them and I am very trustworthy and reliable.Look forward to meeting you all🐾 I currently have lots of spare time so I am very flexible and have lots of time to take care of your pets at short notice! I will make sure the gate of your garden is shut and the garden is secure so your dog can enjoy the garden without running off.
“My dog does not really like strangers much and it takes him time getting familiar with a new person but he immediately warmed up to Sam! Sam also was clearly knowledgeable about dog behaviour, especially dogs with reactivity. Looking forward to more walks.”
About: I have had pets my entire life until my dog of over 16 years passed away in January 2025. I miss playing, walking, training and hanging out with him very much and truly understand how our pets are part of our families. I currently work from home full time 8:30am - 16:30pm. If I am boarding a pet, I would be able to provide regularly attention and toilet breaks during my working hours and exercise outside during my lunch breaks and after 16:30pm I have a good sized back garden. It has a poor fence on one side but if that would be a concern, I can use a leash or walk the dog to a local park 5mins away. Always happy to play with and train dogs during the day for physical and mental exercise as well
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have always loved caring for them. I’ve had cats since I was young, rescued 3 lovely dogs, worked at a dog daycare in London, and volunteered at dog kennels, so your pets will be in experienced and loving hands 😊 I’ve just moved back from London to be with family and my aim is to do dog walking/sitting full time so my availability is very flexible, I can be free in the week and on weekends. I currently live in a lovely home with my mum, dog and cat with a fenced off garden for your dog to run around, and spaces in the home for your dog to rest and relax! If you need me to come to your home that’s no problem
“Zoe can sometimes be a little distant when first getting to know someone but took to Jessica right away, so I had no concerns with leaving her and she really seemed to enjoy her walk. You can clearly see that Jessica has a love for animals and I'm sure Zoe picked up on that.”
About: Both myself and my partner Amy have had dogs all our lives, and love having them around. I work from home near the quarry with a fenced garden. I/we will give them attention and regular walks, and they can roam the house and garden as they see fit. I work from home most days, and our plans vary weekend by weekend. I live close to the quarry and have a fenced garden. We are very relaxed and want the dog to feel at home with us, having fresh water, attention and walks. We have always loved dogs, we will look after them however you tell us, but generally lots of attention and walks! They can make the house their own!
“Sarah is great! We wanted a dog walker/ sitter to look after our Jack Russel Buster whilst we were visiting family and Sarah is just what we were looking for! Buster instantly took a liking to her, which is a relief. We know buster is in safe hands and we'll definitely keep using Sarah! We haven't used the dog sitting service but I'm sure we will soon.”
About: I have been around dogs and cats all my life and am happiest when taking care of them. So much so I have pursued a career as a veterinary nurse! My skills as a nurse mean I am great at understanding your pets' behaviour and can fulfill any medication requirements they may have. I live away from my own pets so I miss spending quality time with animals and I can't wait to meet yours! As well as my experience at work and with my own pack, I have cared for my friend's pets several times. I love going on long walks so if you have an active dog, I would be delighted to take them on some adventures too. I aim to work around you and your pet's schedule as much as possible so please don't hesitate to let me know what you are looking for. However, I do work full time so please be aware I will usually not be able to be with your pet full time on weekdays. I can still do house sits for pets that do not need regular walks/toilet breaks. I am available most weekends and bank holidays and would love to keep your pet company while you enjoy a holiday! I know it can be strange for pets to be away from you so I am dedicated to keeping life as normal and relaxed for them as possible by following their normal routine in their own home. I hope to work with you to follow whatever exercise routine is best for your pup; whether they enjoy high energy exercise or prefer to just have a potter round the garden.

“Ben took such amazing care of Marco while we were away for a few days 🐾 Marco had plenty of walks and lots of playtime in the garden. This was one of his first stays with other dogs and Ben did a fantastic job making sure everyone got along. Peace of mind is the most important thing for us when looking for a dog sitter and we had that with Ben”
“Kassandra looked after my little girl for 4 days and night. She is such a lovely lady and clearly cares about the dogs in her care. She sent me regular updates and pictures which was so comforting. I would highly recommend Kassandra and will be taking Coco back for another visit. Thank you Kassandra for being so helpful and flexible. Coco says thank you too x”

“I can't recommend Natalia highly enough. She provided excellent care for my two french bulldogs, one of whom suffers from anxiety. Natalia gave me confidence at our meet & greet that she would be the perfect carer ( along with her lovely husband) for my dogs. They were extremely happy & relaxed when I picked them.”
“Abbi was so accommodating and obviously a real dog lover, so it made it easy to leave Leila in her safe hands. She was very easy to communicate with, both before and during the booking. Leila has come home very tired after obviously being very well looked after and cared for. Thank you so much Abbi!”
“If I could give 100 out of 5 I would!! Tracy and Seb are amazing!! They are so warm and friendly and they loved our Lewi like their own. They made us feel so at ease and it was as if we had left Lewi with family. They kept us updated and they went above and beyond to accommodate Lewi and all of his needs. Thank you both, we are so grateful. Lots of love, Yaz and Tiff ❤️”
“Carlos is amazing. He’s reasonably priced, super reliable and very friendly. I was worried about leaving my dog as she has bad separation anxiety but she had a great time with the whole family and his dog. 10/10 would recommend and will be using again in the future.”

About: Hello, I’m Karen. Having grown up with dogs, especially varying types of spaniels, my love for them has grown even more into adulthood and I understand that dogs are family. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of dogs. I have 40+ years of experience in dog walking and dog care, with a passion for dogs having a happy home. Whether your dog needs extra belly rubs or a patient companion, I am dedicated to providing a safe, loving environment. I believe love is just a tail wag away. Dog people are my people. No matter how long we have our dogs, it's never long enough. My dogs are not pets; my dogs are family. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own dogs and caring for family and friends' dogs over the years. I have plenty of availability to provide love and care for your beloved pet dog. I will take the initiative to slowly build trust with your dog through patient, consistent and compassionate care. I have a secure garden. The garden is surrounded by fencing and hedging, and includes a gate. The garden has a lawn and patio area.

“Percy & Neville have now stayed with Lyndsey and her Family Twice. The Boys couldn’t have been happier on their second visit, so much so that they didn’t even look back when we dropped them off! Lyndsey sent lots of photos and updates, in which they looked very happy and at home, and both times they have come home with some lovely personalised treats. Thank You So Much, They will be back in December x”
About: As a teacher, I am naturally patient, reliable and caring, and I bring those same qualities to looking after animals. I absolutely adore pets and treat every animal as if they were my own. I do not have children, so my own dog is very much my baby, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can completely trust with your pet. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including looking after neighbours’ pets while they are away on holiday, regularly caring for my parents’ and sister’s pets, and dog walking for elderly neighbours. I am confident with animals of different ages and temperaments and always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable and loved. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet. I know every animal has their own routine, personality and needs, and I am happy to adapt to what makes them happiest. Whether that is long walks, lots of play and attention, or a calm and gentle approach for older or more nervous pets, I will always provide the same level of care that I would expect for my own dog. I currently have 6 weeks off over the summer holidays. Due to not having children, I can be incredibly flexible with pet care. I take my own dog for 3 walks a day anyway and enjoy physical activity. I have one cavapoo boy dog who absolutely loves company. We have a lovely fenced garden that we will often play in, an endless supply of toys and even a small paddling pool for the summer hotter months.
“Dave was a fantastic sitter for my very timid whippet he was so patient with her and took time to understand her ‘unique ways’ I would definitely ask Dave to look after Cagney again.”
