“Bertie had a lovely day with Deborah and Kobi. He loves to play and I think despite their difference in size he’s made a new friend. Deborah is flexible and accommodating and we won’t hesitate to book with her again!”
“Tsz Kiu did a wonderful job taking care of Charlie, our cocker spaniel. She sent several photos. Charlie was relaxed and content. I would highly recommend her. We have already booked her again for the next time we travel.”
“Really great to have Maria look after our dog, Lexie. It was really easy to communicate and set up. Maria was really responsive and flexible. Most importantly she and her family provided an amazing day care service and looked after Lexie like she was their own. Thank you!”
“Lara was absolutely amazing with Olive and Bailey. They both are full of energy and Lara made sure they get enough of exercise. We also received regular updates with photos and videos. I could see they both were well looked after and happy. I highly recommend Lara and would love if she looked after Olive and Bailey again.”
“I booked Chloe at short notice after another arrangement fell through, and from her first message I knew Yoji would be in safe hands as she asked all the right questions. I received regular photos and videos, and came home to a very happy, tired pup. I’d happily book with Chloe again.”
“I would give more stars if I could. It was easy to communicate with Martine and arrange for her to met our dogs before our holiday. Our two big labradors loved the garden and had plenty of space to play and chill inside and out. We had lots of pictures and updates which was reassuring. I couldn’t be happier and the dogs clearly enjoyed their holiday.”
“Thanks Lisa for taking care of Rocky. Communication was excellent for pre-meet, drop off and collection. Rocky came home happy and healthy and we will definitely use your services again.”
“Lucy was absolutely wonderful with our dog Luna over the weekend! She was professional, caring, and kept us updated with plenty of pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Luna loved her stay, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Lucy!”
“Laura is a lovely, smiley, cheerful person and Teddy took to her immediately. She was very enthusiastic in meeting Teddy and wanted to know everything about him and this was reflected in the quality time she spent with him and the things they did together. On the daily text and picture updates Laura did some lovely walks with Teddy and Laura and her partner took him out for their breakfast. All three looked blissfully happy. It was so comforting for me seeing Teddy happy and Laura really enjoying her time with him. Laura’s house is perfect for dogs and Teddy was good company for Laura when she worked at home. Just like at home with me. Laura did so much more than a dog sit. Teddy was at no rush to leave when I arrived to take him home and this is testimony to the quality time she spent with him. I would not hesitate to leave Teddy with Laura again. She was so proactive with him, trying out his tricks and he looked as if he was having an enjoyable time.”
About: I've always loved dogs! We lost our beloved dog Henry at Christmas and my home feels a little quiet. I would love to care for your furry friend. I will ensure they get plenty of fresh air as I live opposite a green space, centrally located with lots of choice of parks to visit for playtime. Offering countless cuddles and the dedicated attention they deserve when they're away. I have a flexible work schedule and can work from home. I have support of my adult daughter, between us we are fully committed to a dog's needs. I have a bright, airy apartment with a large green space on our doorstep. I am used to taking a dog out regularly as part of my daily routine. A secure environment and safe space is essential when caring for dogs. I am more than happy to set up a crate if it is part of your dog's routine. My priority is to ensure your dog feels at ease, cared for and loved.
About: I love animals with all my heart (they are the reason why I became vegan). I had many different kinds of pets and being around them makes me happy. I'm currently working full time from home, so I have plenty of time. I can take breaks every 2 hours to walk with your pet. I have a big fenced garden and a lot of space in the house for the dogs to play and run. I have a dog named Finley and he is extremely friendly and loves playing with other dogs.
“Looked after our boy Gunner overnight. Such a lovely couple arranged a meet and greet at their home so he could familiarise himself with them and their home. He soon found a ball and was happy. Had pics sent during his stay of him chilling and on his walk. Would highly recommend and book again. Thanks so much. X”
About: Hello, my name is Carla. Animals have always been a huge part of mine and my family’s life. We’ve cared for cats, dogs, hamsters and fish, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of pets. I truly see pets as part of the family and understand how important it is to know they’re in safe, loving hands when you’re away. Having grown up with dogs, I have many years of hands on experience with breeds. I currently have my own Maltese Shih Tzu, Archie, and have previously cared for a Border Terrier puppy, so I understand the importance of routine, regular exercise and plenty of affection. Working from home allows me to offer flexible availability and consistent, reliable care, so your dog will never feel left alone for long. I provide a calm, loving home environment with plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. I offer both doggy daycare and overnight stays, and I always aim to make your pet feel completely at home. Working from home allows me to offer flexible availability and consistent, reliable care. This allows for plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles and chill time. We generally do a walk in the morning and a walk in the evening but will stick to the routine of your dog. For overnight stays at our house your dog will be part of the family and have a basket in my office, as well as lots of cuddles on the sofa. We also have a fenced garden so your dog will be able to go outside as much as they want too and will be able to play with our Archie, who loves playing with other dogs.
“Jessica took the utmost care of our little miniature dachshund - looking after her as one of her own. She also gave us regular updates in the form of photos and videos. Outstanding thanks Jessica - we would love to have you look after our beloved pup again!”
“Tilly was treated as part of the family and had the best time, now she is home she misses max. Thank you both for caring for Tilly so well. I would recommend Sonia to any one looking for a dog sitter”

“Annie was absolutely lovely with my cat. Very attentive and caring, and she got many lovely photos from the days she visited. I'd highly recommend her, and will definitely be using her services again in the future 😁”
“It was Holly’s first visit but she took the time to get to know the dogs. I have one who’s really not good with new people, but the fact she was able to take a pic of him sitting quietly in the garden speaks volumes. Delighted to have found someone reliable and fairly close by who I can call on when I can’t be there myself.”
“I was very happy to leave my cats in Claire’s care - the first time I’ve left them so long. Getting photos every visit and confirmation that all were present and correct was reassuring and enabled me to enjoy my holiday. Claire is a lovely person and obviously loves and understands cats. I won’t hesitate to use her services again.”
About: I have taken care of kittens and cats most of my young and adult life. I have had hands-on experience with kittens and mother cats. Growing up my cat had two litters of kittens too which gave me experience of helping care for the young kittens and the mother kitten, changing their litter, feeding and most importantly playing with them! I am currently looking after a mother cat and her litter of kittens who were abandoned and ensuring they are all fed, safe and well cared for. I'm patient and attentive with each animal and treat them all as if they were my own.
“Olivia looked after our cat beautifully whilst doing the drop-in visits. She even sorted out a bit of a mess that my cat did in the kitchen! The communication was excellent and I felt at ease while away.”

I truly love animals and enjoy spending quality time with them, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I own an 8-year-old Maine Coon cat myself, so I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for in a home environment. I also worked with Avon Cat Rescue during 2015–2016, which gave me valuable hands-on experience caring for cats with different personalities and needs. I’m also happy to provide updates, photos, and communication throughout the stay for peace of mind.
About: I have taken care of neighbourhood cats since I was 13 and have become the regular person for many of my neighbours and friends to ask to look after their cats whilst they're away. As a student I can provide a calm environment for your cats, whilst keeping them company and giving them lots of cuddles in my study breaks if they prefer. I also have experience caring for senior cats.

Neighbors, friends, and family have consistently trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and nurture their pets with love and dedication.

I take pride in creating a safe, engaging, and loving environment for every pet I look after, ensuring they feel at home and cared for in my presence.

“Laura and Jake looked after Magic so well - she absolutely adored them and i was sent videos and photos which was very reassuring given i had never left Magic other than family. I cannot recommend them highly enough and will using them again. Thank you Laura and Jake for giving Magic a wonderful holiday too 😃.”
“Maddie looked after our ragdoll Kaspar for two weeks whilst we were away on holiday (staying at our house). Communication was great and regular pictures were sent whilst we were away. We came back to a happy cat and will book Maddie again”
“I booked a last-minute trip and Steph was able to cover for all the days I was away. She was very diligent and looked after my cat, following all the instructions I left for my cat's special diet. I returned to find a happy, well-fed and watered cat. Steph is professional and responsible and cannot recommend her enough.”
About: I have grown up with dogs since 1 years old. I have had boxers my whole life, and I currently have a 7 year old boxer called Lola ❤️ so I am more comfortable and experienced with larger breeds! We love our walks with lots of things for her to sniff and mark as her territory! 😃 I currently work full time Mon-Fri 9-5 so can fit in walks either before or after my shift. I work from home 3 days a week so I can also pop in on my lunch breaks. I live at home with my family, my dog, and my cat. Taking care of them is a daily ritual of mine including feeding, playing, and walking. My dog is reactive toward other dogs so I would not introduce mine to yours for safety and I keep her on a short lead unless I can let her off.

About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages . I’ve rescued and cared for dogs, including my own rescue dog, and have a deep understanding of their needs. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets, ensuring their safety and happiness. I am passionate about animals, patient, and attentive, offering reliable and compassionate care for every dog I believe that looking after pets fits perfectly into my daily life. At the moment, I work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to take dogs for walks, care for them, and play with them. I enjoy spending time with animals, and I am flexible enough to meet their needs throughout the day. I currently do not have a fenced garden, but my primary focus is on taking dogs out for enjoyable and safe walks in the fresh air. I ensure that they get the exercise, care, and attention they need during our time together. I am attentive to their safety, keeping them on a lead when necessary, and always following the owner’s instructions regarding their routine and preferences.
“Claire gives you confidence that she will look after your dog as if it was her own. Hoping to use her often to look after my dog at times when I am not available.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for animals at different life stages, including supporting my own dog through her senior years, where I became attentive to changes in behaviour, comfort, and routine. I also have experience raising and caring for pet rabbits from a young age into adulthood, so I understand the importance of gentle handling, patience, and creating a calm, safe environment — especially for more sensitive animals. I’m very mindful of each pet’s individual needs, including specific diets, feeding routines, and any special requests around food preparation. I’m also experienced in managing separate spaces when needed, ensuring pets feel safe, secure, and not overwhelmed. I take time to understand each animal’s personality and routine, creating a structured, calm environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a central part of my routine, and I structure my days to ensure I can provide consistent, attentive care. I keep a flexible schedule, allowing me to maintain regular feeding times, exercise, and quality one-on-one attention throughout the day. I’m mindful to follow each pet’s existing routine closely — including walks, feeding schedules, and rest time — so they feel secure and settled in a calm, structured environment. I also manage my weekly availability carefully to ensure every pet in my care receives reliable, uninterrupted attention, without being overstretched. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where they can feel relaxed and settled. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and rest time, so the transition feels natural and stress-free. Alongside this, I create an engaging and stimulating space with appropriate play, enrichment, and attention tailored to each pet’s personality. I’m also mindful of maintaining structure and can accommodate separate areas if needed, depending on the pet’s comfort and requirements. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I respect the space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to ensure consistency. I provide both companionship and mental stimulation, while paying close attention to their individual needs, including diet, behaviour, and any specific instructions, so they remain comfortable in their familiar environment. Across both settings, I prioritise safety, routine, enrichment, and one-on-one attention, ensuring each pet feels secure, well cared for, and at ease.
About: I have grown up with pets and have had our lovely little housecat Saffy for fourteen years, and our gorgeous cockapoo Pip for six years. I also have a ten year old daughter and a four year old son. Our house is perfect for a dog looking for lots of cuddles and attention - we have lots of space and a large secure garden. We are also lucky enough to have a fabulous private walk on our doorstep. I am here 24/7 to look after everyone. This also means that I can keep to your dog’s preferred schedule (if there is one!). I have a large secure garden to run around in and love going for walks on the farm next door. Our dog Pip is a lovely, excitable Cockapoo who loves to play and run around but is equally as happy cuddling on the sofa while we watch a film. He has been neutered.

My house has a fenced garden but I can take them out for walk as well~ I will not let my ferrets interact with other animals. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, playtime, litter or potty breaks, and medication administration if needed. I make sure the home is left tidy, respect the owner’s space, and provide updates with photos or messages so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for. I also ensure pets receive attention, comfort, and companionship while their owners are away.

About: Dogs are a massive part of my life, I have always cared for walked had for day care or overnight for my close friends and family. I have 2 dogs of my own and my older dog is now almost 16 so am well practiced in older dog care! I have also completed a canine first aid course I mostly work from home so this gives me the opportunity to spend much more of my time with my dogs and yours if they come to stay, to enjoy walks play time and of course lots of cuddles. To allow me to plan my diary ensuring this I do usually require a bit of notice as I do plan my schedule about a week ahead. I also like to do a meet and greet (if we have not previously met) prior to accepting a request. This is to ensure your dogs and mine all get on ok together. This sometimes involves a trial first. Please do feel free to ask though, should you have a last minute request and I will always try and accommodate if I can. I have a small fully enclosed garden to which my dogs can have access to at all times. My downstairs space is 2 rooms allowing for dogs to be separated if required. All dogs in my care will receive 2 on the lead walks per day unless there are reasons they can’t or sometimes I use a secure field too so if they need a bit of freedom they can have this safely. Safety and well being is of utmost importance to me to ensure any dog in my care is looked after to the best of my ability and will given all the cuddles they want!
“Our cavapoo, Peanut, had an absolutely incredible stay at Sonia’s!! We were so happy to leave our fur baby in caring hands!

About: Hi I'm Saskia! I'm currently a 2nd year veterinary student at the University of Liverpool. Since I'm renting and can't have pets of my own at the moment, I'm looking to fill that dog or cat shaped hole in my life by caring for yours. When I'm not studying, I'm usually training for my next triathlon, so if you have a high-energy breed that loves a long walk, I'm your person. However, I'm just as happy to provide a call environment and plenty of study break cuddles for senior pets or those who prefer a calm environment. Understanding that our pets our important members of our families, I am conscious to check-in often with photos, videos and updates to ease anxiety. For dog walking: After we exchange information about your dog and their specific walking needs: duration, behaviour, socialisation etc. I will come and meet your dog ensuring we are the right match. Then we will head out to explore and sniff! I will take photos and videos for you and give tell you all about how we are getting on. For pet sitting: After we exchange information about your dog/cat, your home and their specific needs: feeding, behaviour, walking etc. I will come and meet you and your dog/cat, to ensure we are a good match. Most likely we will start the day with a morning walk after breakfast. During the day I will most likely be studying in your home, with breaks for play-time, toileting and cuddles. I rarely will leave the house for more than max. 2hrs at a time to pop to the shops, to go to the gym, or for lectures. In the evening we will go on another walk, followed by dinner and settling in for the night. For cat drop-ins: I am available for twice daily visits (morning and evening) to ensure your cat's feeding schedule remains consistent. When I am a guest in your home, my priority is maintaining a stress-free, secure and loving environment for your pet. I follow your pets existing schedule, whether it's feeding times, a particular walking route or a no-sofa rule. I'm also extremely diligent when it comes to home security and will ensure all doors and gates are double-checked and I never leave keys in visible places. I treat your home with care, ensuring you return to a clean, tidy house and an happy, relaxed pet.

“I can thoroughly recommend Michael as a dog walker. I was worried that our greyhound wouldn't go on a walk with someone he had only been introduced to once but he happily went with Mikey - a measure of his affinity and confidence with dogs. He's reliable and friendly and I couldn't ask for a better experience. I absolutely trust Michael with my dog.”
About: I have grown up with two cats, looking after them and being close with them my whole life; alongside this I have spent time volunteering in a cattery, cleaning up after cats, caring for them, feeding them and creating a positive environment. I have also spent time looking after family and friends dogs, taking them on walks and building a loving, close relationship with them. I’m currently doing a gap year after finishing A-Levels before committing to a future role. I have a job which is flexible and time can be booked off with prior notice to take care of your pets! I love animals and am always happy to make time for our special furry friends. I like to get to know each pet individually to build a close bond with them and grow awareness of their individual needs and requirements, frequently checking if they need food, water or to be outside for a bit; also giving them cuddles if they are sleepy and allowing them to rest.
About: As well as having my own dogs, I volunteered for the Assistant Dogs Charity ‘Dogs for Good” as a boarder. These beautiful dogs came to stay for 1 week or for up to 3 months, depending on circumstances. We ended up adopting one of them, Harley, who was a joy. I also volunteered for The Dogs Trust. Duties included walking, brushing, cuddling, feeding. This has given me experience with pretty much every breed and every Heinz 59 of all ages. I am self employed as a dog cartoonist. So where I draw is irrelevant! So when your dog(s) are having a snooze, I will quietly get on with my drawings. Just as I did when looking after the many Dogs for Good labs, I will follow your instructions relating to your dog(s) health and safety, insuring their routine doesn’t go off course.
About: I’ve had experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I did grooming for guide dogs and completed my level 2 and 3 in dog grooming. I’ve had a love for animals my entire life and owned many different types of animals. I have my own dog Mia and she’s a chiweenie (chihuahua x dachshund) and she loves other dogs. I have trained her and involved her in puppy training classes to maintain toilet training and recall 🐾. I also have a dog called Bandit and he’s also very very friendly with other dogs. He knows to respect space and boundaries of other dogs as he is around an older rescue daily. I have owned and taken care of dogs and animals my entire life and have a true passion for animals of all sizes 🐾. I’d love to take care of your pet for you, and can guarantee any pet in my care is treated as one of the family 🐾🌸. I have lots of time as I want to go into dog grooming/ care full time. I previously have been completing my grooming qualifications which I have now completed. I offer all my attention and time ensuring the dogs feel as safe and comfortable as possible. Making sure there’s a bond built along with trust especially during the first time meeting.

“Natalie organised a meet and greet before the walk to get to know Luna. She was lovely and Luna felt at ease straight away. She has lovely long walks and comes back super excited and happy. I would recommend Natalie she is always on time and very professional and writes a detailed report of the walk every time.”
About: I have grown up with dogs since 1 years old. I have had boxers my whole life, and I currently have a 7 year old boxer called Lola ❤️ so I am more comfortable and experienced with larger breeds! We love our walks with lots of things for her to sniff and mark as her territory! 😃 I currently work full time Mon-Fri 9-5 so can fit in walks either before or after my shift. I work from home 3 days a week so I can also pop in on my lunch breaks. I live at home with my family, my dog, and my cat. Taking care of them is a daily ritual of mine including feeding, playing, and walking. My dog is reactive toward other dogs so I would not introduce mine to yours for safety and I keep her on a short lead unless I can let her off.

“I would give more stars if I could. It was easy to communicate with Martine and arrange for her to met our dogs before our holiday. Our two big labradors loved the garden and had plenty of space to play and chill inside and out. We had lots of pictures and updates which was reassuring. I couldn’t be happier and the dogs clearly enjoyed their holiday.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for animals at different life stages, including supporting my own dog through her senior years, where I became attentive to changes in behaviour, comfort, and routine. I also have experience raising and caring for pet rabbits from a young age into adulthood, so I understand the importance of gentle handling, patience, and creating a calm, safe environment — especially for more sensitive animals. I’m very mindful of each pet’s individual needs, including specific diets, feeding routines, and any special requests around food preparation. I’m also experienced in managing separate spaces when needed, ensuring pets feel safe, secure, and not overwhelmed. I take time to understand each animal’s personality and routine, creating a structured, calm environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a central part of my routine, and I structure my days to ensure I can provide consistent, attentive care. I keep a flexible schedule, allowing me to maintain regular feeding times, exercise, and quality one-on-one attention throughout the day. I’m mindful to follow each pet’s existing routine closely — including walks, feeding schedules, and rest time — so they feel secure and settled in a calm, structured environment. I also manage my weekly availability carefully to ensure every pet in my care receives reliable, uninterrupted attention, without being overstretched. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where they can feel relaxed and settled. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and rest time, so the transition feels natural and stress-free. Alongside this, I create an engaging and stimulating space with appropriate play, enrichment, and attention tailored to each pet’s personality. I’m also mindful of maintaining structure and can accommodate separate areas if needed, depending on the pet’s comfort and requirements. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I respect the space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to ensure consistency. I provide both companionship and mental stimulation, while paying close attention to their individual needs, including diet, behaviour, and any specific instructions, so they remain comfortable in their familiar environment. Across both settings, I prioritise safety, routine, enrichment, and one-on-one attention, ensuring each pet feels secure, well cared for, and at ease.
“Phoebe had such a lovely time with Imogen. She loved spending time with Imogen’s two friendly dogs, and the overall environment of her home was safe and friendly. I would highly recommend Imogen, and will look to use her again when needed!”
“Honestly could give Alex 10 stars!! Alex has been absolutely amazing so accommodating to storms routine and needs. Alex’s communication was brilliant, super responsive and constantly sending updates and photos which completely put my mind at ease whilst on holiday. I love how well storm and Bella got on too. Thank you so so much will definitely rebook again in the future 🥰🩵”
“Rangar has has a stayed with Hannah and Hunter a few times now on overnight stays and I couldn’t feel any more comfortable with him being left with them. He clearly has a great time when he stays and I get lots of pictures of him and updates of them chilling or playing together. Thank you Hannah for being an amazing sitter for our boy!”
“Rachael was so lovely and amazing with Eddie! Got sent photos/videos of him whilst we were away and it seemed like he had a great time! Will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Natalie was absolutely brilliant from the get go. From organising a meet and greet knowing Arlo can be anxious, being super accommodating with dropping her off, sending lots of pics & vids while we were away reassuring us and giving Arlo lots of love! We felt more than comfortable leaving Arlo in Natalie’s capable hands and lovely home.”
