“Radz was absolutely spoilt. What a fantastic couple who really care and look after your fur babies. Highly recommend will definatley be seeing you again Thank you again”
“Maria and her children looked after Dexter for 3 nights whilst I was away on holiday. Dexter was upset on the first night and Marie’s comforted him to make sure he settled in quickly. Her children were great with him too and I received updates during his stay. Thanks for looking after him so well”
“I can highly recommend Ana Maria. She is absolutely wonderful and caring, with loads of doggy cuddles. She sent me twice daily messages about my two dogs with oodles of pictures of the dogs interacting with the family and on their walks as well as rest periods. The dogs were so reluctant to leave the family, Laila even hid under the table when it was time to come home! Highly recommend!!”
“This was my first time using this app, first time going on holiday and leaving my boy. Tara is such a lovely, friendly person, offering a complete home from home experience. Myself and my mum were able to enjoy our 11 day holiday knowing our boys were well looked after. We loved the regular updates and pictures that we recieved. I would fully recommend Tara and will definitely be in contact again on our next holiday 😀”
“Our dogs love coming here and recently stayed for 7 nights. They are really well looked after, walked and loved and we had great updates each day. We wouldn't use anyone else”
“Vicky was great! She kept us regularly updated and sent us lots of photos, and communication was excellent throughout. She also came to our home beforehand to meet our dog and spend some time with her, which we really appreciated. Our dog clearly had a lovely time with Vicky, was happy and ate really well during her stay. We felt completely at ease knowing she was being well looked after. We would definitely use Vicky again and highly recommend her! ❤️”
About: I have most weekends available for boarding at my home. I have a dog of my own who is very very friendly and gets on with all dogs she meets. She loves to play and she will share her toys!! Due to her not being neutered I do not accept male dogs at the moment. I would love to take care of your dog in my home, perhaps you need a weekend break. I have a genuine passion for dogs and there will be lots of love, care and treats available. I do not drive so your pet would need to be dropped off and picked up at agreed times :) I work during the week and have my own little sweetheart, 🐾 I am available at weekends and some Friday nights can be agreed also with notice. I have a small terraced house with small secure garden for toileting. I am happy to walk your dog at the local church/park a few mins down the road where there is plentiful grass and space to roam.
“Jessica’s communication and flexibility was very much appreciated due to a family emergency I was quite stressed but she put me at ease. She provided a daily update and a video to let me know that Nelly was doing well which again allowed me to focus my time on my family. I am grateful to you and your family. Thank you.”
“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! 🐾❤️”
“Nivinda was absolutely amazing 👏 Reggie was so well cared for by her whole family who absolutely fell in love with him. I will definitely use Nivinda again when we go away on holiday. We felt so relaxed knowing Reggie was happy. We had full updates everyday on several different times keeping us fully updated. A massive thanks for your excellent service and we fully recommend Nivinda 100% xx”
“Elena was great with Bella. She helped her settle in and made her feel very comfortable. I would definitely recommend her services. Elena is very professional and took everything at Bella’s pace. We had lots of communication throughout her stay and she kept me updated with photos and videos of how Bella was getting on. Thank you Elena”
“We used Lauren for 2 night's boarding and would highly recommend, Lauren and her Husband are enthusiastic dog loving people and this made our trip more relaxing knowing Rolo was in safe hands. First time using this platform and communication from Lauren has been great, Lauren will definitely be our go to for Rolo.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was very young. I have 3 dogs currently (staffy, Labrador and husky cross collie) and I take them on multiple walks daily. I also trained them from when they were puppies. As well as that, I used to pet sit my families golden retriever puppies and their cats as well. I also have 2 cats and I know my way around them. I am currently working full time, however I am available Mondays and Tuesdays at any time. My schedule changes every week but your dogs will get the exercise they require. I won’t be able to take your dogs into my home, due to not having sufficient space in the house or garden. However, I will be able to take them for long walks.
About: Hi, I’m Lillian! I’m a genuine dog lover and I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I provide a calm, safe and loving home where your dog will be treated like part of the family. I only accept one owner’s pets at a time, so your dog will receive plenty of individual attention, care and affection. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and relaxed. My goal is to make every stay as stress-free as possible for both you and your dog. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.
“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!”
“Colette and Rich were both brilliant. I could relax during my holiday knowing that Sienna was well looked after. Had numerous updates and pictures for peace of mind. I'll 100% be using them both again in the future if they can put up with Siennas energy again. Thank you both so much”

About: I’m a mum to one very tall (and hungry!) teenage son, a proud cat mum of two, and I work for the NHS — so being responsible and reliable comes naturally to me. I’m very much a home bird, happiest pottering around the house with my cats nearby. In my spare time I enjoy running, a bit of gardening, and trying my hand at something creative. I’ve had cats all my life and truly believe they’re the heartbeat of any home. Over the years I’ve been very well trained by them — and I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine and little quirks. I know how important it is to find someone you can completely trust with your home and your precious cats. When you’re away, I will care for them as if they were my own — keeping to their routine, giving them attention (on their terms!), and making sure they feel safe and settled. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your cats are content and everything at home is just as it should be. I treat every home and every cat with the same care and respect I’d expect for my own.
“If I am counting it right, this was fourth time when we asked Tasha to look after Arya for us (or maybe third?). Everything is always perfect and we can totally recommend using Tasha as your cat sitter, she is very kind and very caring and it’s amazing with cats xx 💞 thank you once again!! ”
“I’ve booked Simran while I’ve been at work and she’s been so amazing! The cats really love her and she always sends videos and photos to let me know how the cats are doing! It’s been so nice having someone as amazing as she is looking after them!”
“I cannot speak more highly of the care Katalin gave my three older cats when I was on holiday; it was clear she'd looked after them as if they were her own. Every update and photograph (which accompanied each drop-in) showed very happy cats, and this meant I could relax and enjoy my holiday as I knew they were safe and in excellent hands. Thank you so much, Katalin!”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of cats since I was a baby, when I was a child me and my dad would go and pet sit for friends and family, I have always been a cat lover. I currently have 5 cats that I adore - 4 of which are rescues. From working with rescue cats I am comfortable working with nervous cats that require a slower, calm environment and high energy cats that are ready to play.
“We have been really lucky to find Liam at what was really short notice. He is now our trusted cat carer. Liam has been quick in his contact, diligent in his preparation and most of all excellent with our cat Ziggy. Liam is investing in him his brand and puts lots in to formality and customer service which is lovely to see!”
“Karolina did two drop-ins for us over Christmas to look after our cats (food, water & litter). She did a wonderful job. Her personality was absolutely lovely and the cats adored her. She sent various photos of the cats enjoying themselves and having cuddles. Will definitely be our regular cat-sitter from now on. Thank you ❤️”
“We’ve used Amelia for a second year now and honestly couldn’t recommend her enough. As always she went above and beyond looking after our cat Miko and it’s such a comfort knowing he’s in such good hands when we are away. Miko absolutely adores her and it’s so lovely to see the bond they’ve built. You can tell she genuinely cares about him and that means so much to us. We always get plenty of updates and photos, so we never ever have to worry and she even left a lovely card and a gift for both Miko and us which was such a thoughtful and kind gesture. It really sums up the sort of person she is❤️We will be using Amelia’s services for Miko every single time, and if she’s ever unavailable, we’d rather reschedule our holiday than use anyone else! she’s the BEST!🫶🏼”
“Charley was amazing and really went above and beyond. My cat is usually cautious with strangers, but Charley was able to gain her trust from the very first visit. She sent me updates and photos every day, so I always knew everything was fine and my cat was in good hands while I was away for two weeks. She also left the house clean and tidy. I will definitely book Charley again and would highly recommend her.”
“Oktawia has been an exceptional cat sitter for my two cats for over a week. Both of my cats seemed happy and well-cared for upon my return. I highly recommend Oktawia to anyone in need of a reliable and caring cat sitter. ”
“Charlie has been absolutely fantastic throughout the whole process. Great communication with messages. The cats very much enjoyed their time with Charlie and I’d have absolutely no hesitation in booking Charlie for future cat sitting. Thank you so much - it was great to be able to fully relax on holiday knowing my cats were being well cared for. Charlie also kept the house clean and tidy - really appreciated especially after a long day of travelling.”
About: I have experience caring for cats with different personalities, from very independent to more affectionate and sensitive ones. I understand that cats are territorial animals and feel safest in their own environment, so I provide cat care exclusively in the owner’s home. I always respect each cat’s routine, habits, and boundaries. I make sure they are fed properly, have fresh water, clean litter trays, and the right level of attention — whether that’s playtime, gentle interaction, or simply quiet companionship. I am very careful with doors and windows, as cats can easily try to escape when they feel stressed or curious. My priority is to keep them safe, calm, and comfortable while their owners are away. I also send regular photo and video updates, so owners can feel reassured and know their cats are well cared for.
“Maddison was friendly and thoughtful. She ensured that she played with Leo. She communicated daily with pictures. Leo enjoyed her company as he spent the next few days waiting for at the usual time. Thanks Maddison for the love and care you gave to Leo.”
About: Hi, I’m your friendly neighbourhood cat sitter, here to spoil your kitty while you’re away. I grew up in a home full of cats and dogs, so being covered in fur and purrs is my natural state. I share my life with two cats of my own, and I’ve helped care for lots of friends’ cats too—shy, sassy, cuddly, and everything in between. I love getting to know each cat’s quirks and turning visits into their own little mini-holiday at home. Kittens, Seniors & In-Between From zoomy kittens to wise old lap-cats, I’m experienced with all ages and temperaments. I’m comfortable giving medication and following special routines, and I always take time to move at your cat’s pace—whether that’s playtime, cuddle time, or “please admire me from afar” time. My goal is simple: keep your cat’s world feeling safe, familiar, and fun until you’re back. Updates, Photos & Plenty Of Purrs As a cat parent myself, I know how hard it is to say goodbye at the door. That’s why I’m big on communication: expect cheerful updates, photos, and videos so you can see every nap, zoom, and slow-blink while you’re away. My Promise To Your Cat I’ll treat your cat like one of my own: with patience, respect, and lots of affection (always on their terms). I’m here to keep whiskers relaxed, food bowls full, and hearts happy, yours and your kitty’s.
About: While my hands-on experience has mainly been with dogs, I've also looked after cats for friends while they were away — feeding them, checking in, and spending time playing with them. I understand cats have their own routines and personalities, and I'm attentive to their comfort, especially when their owners are away. I'm happy to follow specific instructions on feeding schedules, litter care, and any quirks your cat has.
About: I have been fortunate enough to have had my own cats through my entire life, equipment in managing hyperthyroidism and diabetes including injections. Can adhere to complex feeding requirements and thorough care 😘

“I was a bit nervous about leaving my wee dog with a sitter, he has a few anxiety/behaviour issues you’d expect a rescue dog, but on meeting Vicky I immediately felt at ease. Vicky was very professional and understanding, and my dog seemed to take to her immediately. We got messages and photos during his stay, and we felt very comfortable.”

About: I have grown up around animals and have had pets for most of my life. We currently have a 9-year-old Yorkshire Terrier named Scooby, who is a much-loved member of our family.

With my veterinary education and lifelong experience with animals, I am confident in providing attentive, responsible and compassionate care for every pet.
“Fantastic dog sitter. First time using Rover so we were a little apprehensive but Nicola was brilliant. Roxy stayed for a full day whilst we went to Alton Towers. We had lots of updates throughout the day with photos. Couldn’t recommend more highly and will definitely use again when we go back.”

“Michael, his wife and two lovely labs have been brilliant with Seth. We arranged a pre-meet to introduce the dogs and to get to know each other. Seth has been for the day today and clearly had a brilliant time- backed up with some lovely photos and a big sleep when he got home. All of Seth's routines and needs (not always the easiest as a border collie and still a puppy!) were accommodated and we would definitely use Michael again.”
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.

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.
About: I have been around dogs all my life and am very passionate about meeting their needs with training and having fun! I live with my partner Nathan in Newcastle under Lyme near Stoke. I did care for a shi zhu called Chico on a regular basis when I lived back in Birmingham in which I walked,fed, bathed and trained, and have always had dogs in the family to practise and give all the love I’m a nurse but am able to take care of your pet around my schedule as I usually have 3 or more days off in the week. There is no set schedule meaning I’m available sometimes in the weekday and sometimes at the weekend I have no pets of my own because of my long shifts which is why I’d love to look after your fur baby. I am happy to walk pets, provide day care or drop in visits

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.
“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. We are so happy to have found Charlie and are excited for many more walks as well as potential house sitting in the future. Highly recommend her!”

I adore all animals and would love to get to know your fur babies! I work from home 4 days a week meaning I am flexible in terms of when I can attend your home to look after your pets. I enjoy my fitness so taking pets on walks at lunch works perfectly for me and I am flexible on most weekends. I am used to pets with medical issues and have extreme attention to detail when it comes to your pets. I have dealt with reactive dogs and been in difficult situations making me super aware of my surroundings and allowing me to protect your pets further. I am patient with shy animals and will always entertain those pets which love to cause chaos!
About: I treat every dog like they’re my own, with love patience and attention to their unique needs and personality. What sets me apart is my caring nature as well as my ability to adapt to each dog routine to help them feel safe and happy whilst you’re away. I take time to build trust with both pets and owners, offering regular updates and genuine care. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, long walks or simply keeping them company, I am committed to providing an stress-free environment for your furry friend! As a university student with a structured but flexible schedule I’m used to managing my time carefully and pet care fits into that routine really well. I plan my day around my responsibilities, which means I can give your pets the attention they need at regular times. Caring for animals brings balance to my day; I genuinely find it rewarding and relaxing. Whether I’m fitting a walk in before uni or checking in on a cat in the evening, I make sure their needs come first and are part of my routine. (I apologise if I’m unable to accommodate your pet’s care at certain times due to my university schedule and placement commitments. I’ll always do my best to be flexible and communicate clearly in advance.) For the comfort and wellbeing of your pet, I offer pet sitting and care visits in your home rather than mine. This keeps your pet in a familiar environment and reduces stress, especially for cats and other home loving pets. I’m more than happy to do drop in visits, feeding, walking and giving them company in their own space. I am just unavailable to provide care in my home at this time.
About: I've cared for my own pets for many years and have experience with dogs who need calm, patient handling. Friends and family have often relied on me to walk feed and carefor their pups over the years. I’m currently working part-time so I can provide regular walks for your pups between 10am and 2pm every Tuesday and Wednesday. In the future I may be able to expand the times and services I offer. Every pet has a different personality and unique needs and I’m happy to adapt to each dog's walking walking style and routine. For safety and comfort, I offer one-on-one lead walks and don’t mix dogs from different households. Multiple dogs from the same home are very welcome. Before any booking, I like to understand how your dog feels around new people or animals, along with any loves, fears, or allergies they may have. This helps me provide the safest, calmest and happiest care possible.
About: Hi, I’m Lillian! I’m a genuine dog lover and I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I provide a calm, safe and loving home where your dog will be treated like part of the family. I only accept one owner’s pets at a time, so your dog will receive plenty of individual attention, care and affection. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and relaxed. My goal is to make every stay as stress-free as possible for both you and your dog. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I've had dogs all my life and currently share my home with Willow, my beautiful Cocker Spaniel. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Although I'm new to pet sitting/walking professionally, I've regularly looked after dogs and cats for family and friends. Whether they've been away on holiday, recovering from surgery, or needed an extra helping hand, I've always been happy to provide reliable, loving care and plenty of attention. As a dog owner myself, caring for animals is already part of my everyday life. I currently work part-time, giving me the flexibility to fit pet care around my schedule and provide reliable, attentive care. Whether it's walks, feeding, playtime, administering medication, or simply keeping a pet company, I'll make sure they receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. The safety and wellbeing of any pet in my care is always my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet's routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any medical requirements to help them feel comfortable and secure. As a dog owner myself, I know how important consistency and trust are. Whether caring for a pet in their own home or visiting for drop-in care, I'll ensure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship. I'm also comfortable administering medication when required and will keep owners updated for peace of mind.

“Our dogs love coming here and recently stayed for 7 nights. They are really well looked after, walked and loved and we had great updates each day. We wouldn't use anyone else”
“Vicky was great! She kept us regularly updated and sent us lots of photos, and communication was excellent throughout. She also came to our home beforehand to meet our dog and spend some time with her, which we really appreciated. Our dog clearly had a lovely time with Vicky, was happy and ate really well during her stay. We felt completely at ease knowing she was being well looked after. We would definitely use Vicky again and highly recommend her! ❤️”
About: I have most weekends available for boarding at my home. I have a dog of my own who is very very friendly and gets on with all dogs she meets. She loves to play and she will share her toys!! Due to her not being neutered I do not accept male dogs at the moment. I would love to take care of your dog in my home, perhaps you need a weekend break. I have a genuine passion for dogs and there will be lots of love, care and treats available. I do not drive so your pet would need to be dropped off and picked up at agreed times :) I work during the week and have my own little sweetheart, 🐾 I am available at weekends and some Friday nights can be agreed also with notice. I have a small terraced house with small secure garden for toileting. I am happy to walk your dog at the local church/park a few mins down the road where there is plentiful grass and space to roam.
“Jessica’s communication and flexibility was very much appreciated due to a family emergency I was quite stressed but she put me at ease. She provided a daily update and a video to let me know that Nelly was doing well which again allowed me to focus my time on my family. I am grateful to you and your family. Thank you.”
“Elena was great with Bella. She helped her settle in and made her feel very comfortable. I would definitely recommend her services. Elena is very professional and took everything at Bella’s pace. We had lots of communication throughout her stay and she kept me updated with photos and videos of how Bella was getting on. Thank you Elena”
“We used Lauren for 2 night's boarding and would highly recommend, Lauren and her Husband are enthusiastic dog loving people and this made our trip more relaxing knowing Rolo was in safe hands. First time using this platform and communication from Lauren has been great, Lauren will definitely be our go to for Rolo.”
“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!”
