About: I'm a genuine dog lover who treats every dog as if they were part of the family. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of different breeds, ages, personalities and needs, from energetic young dogs and puppies to dogs needing extra patience, routine and attention. My experience includes regularly caring for a Sprocker Spaniel named Obi for around two years, several times a week and often overnight. This involved multiple daily walks and runs, feeding, bathing, playtime, toilet breaks, following a specific diet plan and keeping his owner updated throughout the day. Through this experience, I learned the importance of consistency, exercise and understanding the unique routine of each dog. I'm currently helping care for a young French Bulldog called Coco, who is still in the early stages of training. I follow her owner's training programme, including crate training, toilet training, feeding schedules and exercise routines. This has given me valuable experience working with young dogs, reinforcing positive behaviours and maintaining consistency in their development. I've also cared for my cousin's Staffy mix called Saf, and her litter of puppies. During this time, I helped monitor both Saf and her pups, ensuring they were fed, comfortable and well cared for while supporting the routines recommended by the owner. Saf also had some behavioural challenges, which taught me how important patience, calm handling and following an owner's guidance can be when caring for dogs with different needs. More recently, I looked after a sausage dog named Louis for around four months after he lost his owner. During this time, I provided plenty of companionship, walks, affection and overnight care to help him feel settled, safe and loved. This experience reinforced how important emotional support, patience and understanding can be for dogs going through changes in their lives. What makes our home special is that I live with my mum and sister, who are also huge dog lovers. Dogs receive plenty of affection, attention and companionship throughout the day while still having the space they need to relax and feel comfortable. I work from home for most of the week, meaning dogs are rarely left alone and can enjoy regular exercise, supervision and company. We're based in Stafford with access to plenty of green spaces, dog-friendly walking routes and a large enclosed garden. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, active playtime or simply having people around who genuinely care about them, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy and at home. For me, dog sitting and walking isn't just about supervision. It's about building trust with owners and creating a home-away-from-home environment where every dog is treated with the same love, care and respect as a member of the family. work from home four days a week and am generally available from 6:00am onwards, allowing me to fit pet care naturally into my day. Dogs in my care benefit from regular walks, playtime, companionship, feeding schedules and supervision throughout the day. With a large garden, dog-friendly local walks and a family of dog lovers at home, I can provide a safe, flexible and loving environment for dogs of all ages and energy levels. Every dog is different, so I always take the time to understand their routine, personality and any specific requirements before they stay with me or I care for them in their owner's home. Whether it's a feeding schedule, medication, crate training, toilet training, exercise routine or behavioural needs, I believe consistency is key and will follow the owner's instructions closely. In my home, dogs become part of the family. They receive plenty of love, attention, exercise and supervision throughout the day. I work from home most of the week and am generally available from 6:00am onwards, allowing me to provide regular walks, toilet breaks, feeding and companionship. We have a large garden, plenty of toys and access to dog-friendly walks and green spaces around Stafford. I've cared for a variety of dogs with different needs, including active dogs requiring multiple walks and runs each day, young puppies following training programmes, dogs with behavioural challenges, and dogs needing extra emotional support and companionship. I'm comfortable reinforcing owner-led training, crate routines and specialised feeding plans. When caring for a dog in an owner's home, I aim to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe, comfortable and secure in a familiar environment. I'll provide regular updates, photos and communication to give owners peace of mind while they're away.
“Hannah’s a lovely sitter. I can’t recommend her enough. My dog Ralph had a great time on his stay & Hannah made sure to send me lots of photos and updates. We’ll definitely be rebooking ☺️”
“Leigh looked after our 3 year old cavapoo for 5 nights without any issues at all. We received daily updates of how she was getting on in the form of photos. She had plenty of walks and cuddles.

“First time we have ever left our 1 year old lab freya with anyone , we did a meet and greet first at Josie house before hand , she went straight in had a sniff around, josie answered all our questions Freya seemed happy so booked . We drop her off not sure how she would be when we had gone ,but josie sent us photo and updated us she was settled after few hours. Sent us more photo later on her walk and update , so we did relax and enjoy our weekend. Got her back home and she slept for sometime as I think she was worn out .Shall be booking josie again,”
“Get job. A long day especially when there was no break in the rain. Excellent communication an I really appreciated the initiative shown for the benefit of my dog. I would recommend Nathan and would certainly use him again.”
“Bertie had a great time, plenty of walks and came home happy and healthy. Curtis was a very pleasant and personable guy, who seems to genuinely love dogs. I will definitely use him again, this way is not only cheaper than kennels but I feel Bertie got one to one care from someone who genuinely loved looking after him. Cheers Curtis”

“Laura was fabulous with our wee boy Duggie, i have not had to leave him very much previously and therefore was a little apprehensive. there was no need to be, as he settled on quickly and was perfectly relaxed, Duggie definitely was well looked after, home from home really, will definitely be using Laura's services again 😊”
“I would fully recommend Rosie - they looked after our dog for 4 days and kept us fully updated with messages and pictures throughout. Our dog was also unwell at the start and they rang me straight away & kept me updated on how she was doing. I offered to come and get her but they were happy to keep her but wanted to make us aware. Cannot recommend them enough. Thank you so much!”
“Samuel looked after our Cockerpoo Suzie when we went the lakes. Responded very quickly and kept us updated throughout our holiday, I feel our dog was sad to go haha. But highly recommend and in the near future, if needed again, I will definitely use Samuel again.”
“Jessica was absolutely brilliant with our dog Ben! She looked after him overnight for us the night before our wedding, which gave us one less thing to worry about during such a busy and important time. She was so caring and went above and beyond by even bathing Ben for us! He came back happy, clean and clearly very well looked after. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to look after him, and we would definitely recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you so much! 🐾❤️”

“Kirsty was fantastic! I was nervous about leaving the boys, because although they are cats, they love attention and companions. Kirsty made the boys feel so comfortable with her from the first meeting and updates were amazing! Loved seeing pics of my boys happy and settled whilst I was away!”
“Had Hannah this last week to feed my two cats whilst away. She let me know every day that she has visited and took pictures of the cats if they were about. Would recommend and use Hannah again in the future.”
“Steph checked in on my cat Daisy whilst at a wedding over the weekend.... Daisy has really took to Steph and it's clear she feels comfortable even though she's generally, usually quite shy and anxious. As said previously, Steph is great with her, and updates you with photos to reassure shes doing ok. I returned home to one happy cat again.”
“Victoria is fantastic!! Our cat is a feisty critter but by the end of the week she was full of purrs and loving Tori's visits. We loved having our updates each day: The adventures of Tori & Torti! Victoria was brilliant with Peanut, allowing her the time and space she needed to warm to a new human. She kept everything tidy, not an easy task with Peanuts litter antics. Everything was over and above. We'll definitely be using Victoria for sitting again in the future - highly recommended!!”

About: Hi, I’m Seona, a devoted cat lover and proud cat mum to three fur babies of my own. Living with cats every day has taught me that every cat has their own unique personality, preferences, and routine, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each one. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, so I always aim to provide the same level of care, attention, and affection that I give my own cats. Whether your cat is a confident social butterfly, a shy observer, or a mischievous adventurer, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m experienced with feeding routines, administering basic care, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, play sessions, and, of course, providing plenty of fuss for cats who enjoy attention. I also understand that some cats prefer their space, and I’m happy to work at their pace to build trust. As a cat owner myself, I know how reassuring it is to receive updates, so I’ll happily send photos and messages to keep you informed and give you peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is simple: to make sure your cat is happy, relaxed, and cared for as if they were one of my own.

“Sam was absolutely great! She looked after our Labradoodle for the day so well. He came home tired and very happy after having had a wonderful long walk and a happy day making new dog friends. If we ever come and stay in the area again, we will definitely use her again.”
“Leigh and his Mum Anna, are absolute animal lovers. They pay great attention to their pets and treated my dog as one of their family. Allowing her onto their sofas and beds and giving her endless cuddles . When I picked her up it was hard to persuade her to leave. That says it all for me! She ckearlyloved her time in Leigh’s care. Very trustworthy and a man of his word. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave her with him again.”

About: My family has a long history of rescuing dogs! We rescued our much loved Australian sheep dog when I was 15, I helped train him and look after him for 9 years. I also cared for both my grandparents rescue dogs up until their old age I work from home full time. Fully remote! Would love a dog keeping me company in the house. The house is a bit of a renovation project I care for all animals with safety and respect. Happy to walk, feed, water, play with whenever they need. We have a walled garden and plenty of green space near by
About: I've had pets my entire life, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. Unfortunately we lost our lovely Labrador, Bella, at the end of 2025, but having other dogs in our home has been a wonderful way to ease the loss. I work for the UK's leading veterinary charity, giving me direct access to expert pet health advice, and I’m trained in pet first aid. I regularly look after friends’ and family members' pets, ensuring they feel right at home here. Your pets will have free roam of the house, with access to comfy sofas and beds. I work from home so pets will always have company, and can be walked multiple times throughout the day. If I have to leave your dog it will be for no more than a two hours. My garden is fully enclosed, and dogs will have free roam of the house and garden throughout the day. I have a 9 year old daughter who has been around pets all her life and is very nurturing.

About: I’ve been a cat owner for nearly four years and currently have three cats of my own – Belle (Domestic Long Hair), Elsie (Ragdoll) and Dobby (Domestic Short Hair). Caring for them has given me hands-on experience with cats of different personalities, temperaments and needs. I grew up around rabbits, guinea pigs, dogs and cats, so I’ve always been surrounded by animals. While I now only own cats, I still have experience caring for my family’s dog, so I’m comfortable around dogs as well. I also have experience caring for cats with medical conditions and administering medication. My Ragdoll, Elsie, was unwell for an extended period and required daily medication before she was successfully weaned off it. She now has a specialist gastrointestinal diet, so I’m confident following feeding plans, administering medication and monitoring a cat’s health. In addition to caring for my own cats, I’ve helped search for missing and stray cats alongside a local cat rescue. I’m passionate about animal welfare and believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved and well cared for. I will always treat your pets with the same love, patience and attention that I give my own. I currently work fully remotely, with core working hours of 10:00am–3:00pm. Outside of these hours, I have the flexibility to manage my workload, allowing me to fit pet visits and care around my schedule. I also have my own car, so I’m happy to travel to care for your pets. I’m based in Trentham, Stoke-on-Trent, but I’m willing to travel to surrounding areas to provide reliable, loving care for your furry family members. I live in a two-bedroom semi-detached home with a secure, fenced garden, providing a safe outdoor space if required. My home is situated in a quiet residential area with plenty of local walking routes nearby, making it ideal for calm and enjoyable walks. I’ll always follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, medication, exercise and any specific care instructions, to ensure they feel comfortable, safe and settled while in my care.

“Hannah was wonderful with Reg, who can seem intimidating at first, due to his size and the fact he likes to shout at you to start with. She looked after him so well and he even knew her name and was so pleased to see her.”
About: Both my husband and I have always had animals in our lives and it is a love we continue to share with our dog, Bailey. A house is not a home without the sound of little (or big) paws following you around. As a family, we love exploring new places to walk and frequently find ourselves on bike rides and walks! Rest assured, your pooch will not be bored at any point during their stay. We are available for boarding Friday through to Sunday with minimal limitations, making weekend trips away stress free for your family. We are happy to consider boarding in the week but both my husband and I work in the week however I often work from home so this would be discussed on an ad-hoc basis depending on the circumstances. We have a secure garden that is big enough to run around and let all the zoomies out! We also are very lucky to live on the back of a very big park!! We are happy to crate your pup if provided. Our dog loves company and there are no off-limit zones in our house with doggy cuddles on the sofa and sleepovers upstairs (unless of course you would prefer to reflect what you do at home which is absolutely fine!)

“Charlie is absolutely lovely to work with. She's punctual, approachable, and Harris took to her straight away which is rare as Harris usually cautious with new people.

About: I am a licensed security dog handler and also own 4 large breed dogs myself which I have trained to a high standard. Owning working dogs too, I am very capable of handling all breeds of dogs. I am happy to accept dogs with behavioural issues, lack of manners, lead pulling or reactivity. These are all things I have experienced and overcame with some of my own dogs and foster dogs in the past. I own a Belgian Malinois who is my working security dog, so I also understand that high drive dogs may not be fulfilled with just a walk around the block. I can offer enrichment and fulfilment sessions to suit the individual dog. I am fully insured, DBS checked and first aid trained. My insurance is also inclusive of banned breeds, I specifically chose this due to me having 2 XL Bullys myself so you have peace of mind that I’m fully aware of the exemption rules and these will be followed at all times. Please be aware any exempt dogs will need to be a 1:1 ratio dog to handler at all times. I offer both group walks and solo walks, adventure days, house sitting, pop ins and overnight stays. I currently only work part time and I am self employed so I’m able to change my work schedule to fit around the dogs in my care. I have a house with a large secure garden, situated in a very small village in the countryside. I am able to keep my own dogs completely separate from any other dogs.
About: I have had dogs as pets pretty much all my life when living at home. Now that I live alone having a dog of my own wouldn’t work due to my job and working away. I would really love to still be able to look after dogs for other people and still get time with yours 😅 I currently work 2 on 4 off which means I’m away for 2 whole days sometimes 3 but back home for 4 so I have alot of free time. I live in a secure 2 bed flat but my estate has a lot of greenery where they can be out and about doing lots of walking.

About: I spent 14 years caring for my own Labrador, so I understand the daily rhythm dogs and cats need — regular walks, feeding times, and plenty of attention. Alongside that, I've helped friends and neighbours look after their dogs and cats whenever they've gone on holiday, covering everything from walks and feeding to daily drop-in visits to check in, play, and keep them company. I know how much peace of mind it gives you to know your pet is in safe, familiar hands while you're away. Whether it's a daily walk, a feeding visit, or a full day of company, I treat every pet like my own — with patience, consistency, and genuine care. I'm based in Stoke-on-Trent. I'm happy to discuss your pet's specific routine and needs before we get started. My schedule gives me great flexibility for regular care. On Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, I'm free all day and can offer morning, midday, or evening dog walks, along with drop-in visits at any time that suits you. Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I'm at university, so I'm generally available in the evening. On weekends, I'm available in the afternoons around my work schedule. I'm happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet's routine. For dogs, I focus on giving them plenty of exercise with long walks, along with lots of playtime and attention throughout the visit. For cats, I bring that same energy minus the walks — spending time playing, engaging with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and looked after while their owners are away. Whether it's a quick drop-in or a longer visit, my goal is to make sure every pet gets genuine attention, not just the basics.
“Paul was fantastic with Magnus -- who can be a challenging dog. He arranged a visit before so he could meet Magnus and my dog immediately seemed comfortable with him. He walked him in the local area, handled his reactivity well, and even kept Magnus happy despite the rain. I would recommend to anyone else with a pet who has special requirements! Thank you!”
“Jordyn helped us by taking our golden retriever, Jasper out for a walk. She took time to understand what he was like and what he needed. Jasper was really comfortable with her. Will definitely rebook!”

About: I'm a genuine dog lover who treats every dog as if they were part of the family. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of different breeds, ages, personalities and needs, from energetic young dogs and puppies to dogs needing extra patience, routine and attention. My experience includes regularly caring for a Sprocker Spaniel named Obi for around two years, several times a week and often overnight. This involved multiple daily walks and runs, feeding, bathing, playtime, toilet breaks, following a specific diet plan and keeping his owner updated throughout the day. Through this experience, I learned the importance of consistency, exercise and understanding the unique routine of each dog. I'm currently helping care for a young French Bulldog called Coco, who is still in the early stages of training. I follow her owner's training programme, including crate training, toilet training, feeding schedules and exercise routines. This has given me valuable experience working with young dogs, reinforcing positive behaviours and maintaining consistency in their development. I've also cared for my cousin's Staffy mix called Saf, and her litter of puppies. During this time, I helped monitor both Saf and her pups, ensuring they were fed, comfortable and well cared for while supporting the routines recommended by the owner. Saf also had some behavioural challenges, which taught me how important patience, calm handling and following an owner's guidance can be when caring for dogs with different needs. More recently, I looked after a sausage dog named Louis for around four months after he lost his owner. During this time, I provided plenty of companionship, walks, affection and overnight care to help him feel settled, safe and loved. This experience reinforced how important emotional support, patience and understanding can be for dogs going through changes in their lives. What makes our home special is that I live with my mum and sister, who are also huge dog lovers. Dogs receive plenty of affection, attention and companionship throughout the day while still having the space they need to relax and feel comfortable. I work from home for most of the week, meaning dogs are rarely left alone and can enjoy regular exercise, supervision and company. We're based in Stafford with access to plenty of green spaces, dog-friendly walking routes and a large enclosed garden. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, active playtime or simply having people around who genuinely care about them, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy and at home. For me, dog sitting and walking isn't just about supervision. It's about building trust with owners and creating a home-away-from-home environment where every dog is treated with the same love, care and respect as a member of the family. work from home four days a week and am generally available from 6:00am onwards, allowing me to fit pet care naturally into my day. Dogs in my care benefit from regular walks, playtime, companionship, feeding schedules and supervision throughout the day. With a large garden, dog-friendly local walks and a family of dog lovers at home, I can provide a safe, flexible and loving environment for dogs of all ages and energy levels. Every dog is different, so I always take the time to understand their routine, personality and any specific requirements before they stay with me or I care for them in their owner's home. Whether it's a feeding schedule, medication, crate training, toilet training, exercise routine or behavioural needs, I believe consistency is key and will follow the owner's instructions closely. In my home, dogs become part of the family. They receive plenty of love, attention, exercise and supervision throughout the day. I work from home most of the week and am generally available from 6:00am onwards, allowing me to provide regular walks, toilet breaks, feeding and companionship. We have a large garden, plenty of toys and access to dog-friendly walks and green spaces around Stafford. I've cared for a variety of dogs with different needs, including active dogs requiring multiple walks and runs each day, young puppies following training programmes, dogs with behavioural challenges, and dogs needing extra emotional support and companionship. I'm comfortable reinforcing owner-led training, crate routines and specialised feeding plans. When caring for a dog in an owner's home, I aim to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe, comfortable and secure in a familiar environment. I'll provide regular updates, photos and communication to give owners peace of mind while they're away.
“Hannah’s a lovely sitter. I can’t recommend her enough. My dog Ralph had a great time on his stay & Hannah made sure to send me lots of photos and updates. We’ll definitely be rebooking ☺️”
“First time we have ever left our 1 year old lab freya with anyone , we did a meet and greet first at Josie house before hand , she went straight in had a sniff around, josie answered all our questions Freya seemed happy so booked . We drop her off not sure how she would be when we had gone ,but josie sent us photo and updated us she was settled after few hours. Sent us more photo later on her walk and update , so we did relax and enjoy our weekend. Got her back home and she slept for sometime as I think she was worn out .Shall be booking josie again,”
“Get job. A long day especially when there was no break in the rain. Excellent communication an I really appreciated the initiative shown for the benefit of my dog. I would recommend Nathan and would certainly use him again.”
“Bertie had a great time, plenty of walks and came home happy and healthy. Curtis was a very pleasant and personable guy, who seems to genuinely love dogs. I will definitely use him again, this way is not only cheaper than kennels but I feel Bertie got one to one care from someone who genuinely loved looking after him. Cheers Curtis”
About: I believe dogs deserve to feel happy, safe and loved while their owners are away. I provide personalised care tailored to each dog’s individual routine and personality, with plenty of cuddles, attention, playtime and lovely walks. 🐾 Your dog will be treated as one of my own, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and little messages so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. ❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m able to plan my day around giving dogs the time, attention and care they need. I enjoy getting out for walks and spending time with dogs, so it’s something I genuinely look forward to rather than just fitting in around other commitments. I’m flexible with walks, and sitting, and I always make sure each dog’s individual routine is followed, including meals, toilet breaks, playtime, cuddles and rest. Your dog’s safety and happiness will always be my top priority. I provide a calm, caring and secure environment where every dog can feel comfortable and settled. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine and individual needs, and I’m always mindful of their safety both in the home and out on walks. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated with photos and messages, giving you complete peace of mind while your pet is in my care.
“Laura was fabulous with our wee boy Duggie, i have not had to leave him very much previously and therefore was a little apprehensive. there was no need to be, as he settled on quickly and was perfectly relaxed, Duggie definitely was well looked after, home from home really, will definitely be using Laura's services again 😊”
“I would fully recommend Rosie - they looked after our dog for 4 days and kept us fully updated with messages and pictures throughout. Our dog was also unwell at the start and they rang me straight away & kept me updated on how she was doing. I offered to come and get her but they were happy to keep her but wanted to make us aware. Cannot recommend them enough. Thank you so much!”
“Samuel looked after our Cockerpoo Suzie when we went the lakes. Responded very quickly and kept us updated throughout our holiday, I feel our dog was sad to go haha. But highly recommend and in the near future, if needed again, I will definitely use Samuel again.”
