“John was amazing with Thor. I am a “pet mum” full of requests and reminders , lists on the wall and especially i request a continues update. John gave me everything I requested and he was really caring and affectionate with Thor🥰 I was a little apprehensive about many things cause although Thor is not a Huge dog is anyway a dog of a certain size, I have nothing but good words about him and I will for sure book him again in the future.”


“Highly recommend Kamila to anyone! Communication was clear from the start and we received great updates. She was very reliable and Ralph enjoyed having her drop in to see him😊”

About: I have had a family dog since I was 15 who I have looked after numerous times over the years when my parents are on holiday. I now dog sit for friends regularly for up to two weeks at a time. I love dogs but sadly am not in a position to have my own at the moment, so would love to take care of your pets! I’m also happy to look after cats. I work from home 9-5 four days a week with one day in the office, so can potentially work from your home or pop out to check in on your pets and take them for walks before or after work, or potentially at lunchtime depending on my schedule and if you live within walking distance of me. I’m not currently able to look after pets in my own home as I live in a small flat and don’t have any outdoor space. I’m more than happy to come to you.

“Leonie was absolutely amazing while looking after our cat, Bruce! She was incredibly consistent with her visits, always arriving on time and making sure Bruce was well cared for. We loved receiving the daily pictures and thoughtful messages, which reassured us that he was happy and in great hands. It’s clear why she’s a star sitter—her care and attention to detail were exceptional. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”


About: I've looked after pets for family and friends, in the UK and abroad. I have experience with senior dogs who need extra attention, hairless cats and rodents I work full time Monday- Friday with Fridays finishing at midday, I am able to visit in the mornings before work and afterwards all evenings if required. I can also do a short midday walk (distance dependant from my work place) and I'm fully available at weekends. Whilst I have set my availability to mostly weekends, please don't hesitate to enquire about during the work week sitting as I'll be happy to discuss if I can provide you with the excellent service you're looking for whilst still working my full time job. I will provide your fur baby with all the love and adoration they are used to from you, lots of cuddles and good walks. I am confident and happy to follow any specific instructions required for your pets care. I'll send regular updates to ease your peace of mind that your pet is happy and being looked after

“Kelly is amazing with Frank and I can see he gets excited when they turn up to see him. I would highly recommend Kelly 😊”


“Jasmine was wonderful with my cats! She engaged with both of them (they are very different) and they clearly loved her. Juneau loved the bubbles she brought! Jasmine can also take great photos too ( think she could be a professional). She left the house spotless too. Totally recommend her 😊”


“Sylvia is amazing! We have an, energetic / crazy, golden retriever and she is great with him. She walks him on a recurring schedule (with some sporadic days thrown in there), and always keeps us updated with feedback on how he's been, and a picture - would highly recommend!”


About: I’ve had pets since the day I was born meaning I have years of experience taking care of them and being relied on. I’ve done everything from feeding, walking, playing with and toilet training cats and dogs from young until old age :) I’m currently studying at university and work part-time giving me plenty of time to look after your pets, especially during the holidays. My schedule varies weekly so I can do a variety of different days and times. At home I take care of my dog and 3 cats. This involves feeding, playing with, walking and toilet-training them when they were young. I have also administered medicine to some of my pets when they needed it.

“Excellent care and attention was paid to my 3 diverse cats. Cannot fault Alexandra B,s communication to me on their interaction with her. Would opt for her at any point in the future. 👍”

My last dog was a chocolate lab but I look after my friends border terrier when she needs me to. I am available many weekends of the year and during some holiday times to care for your pet. I have a large garden for your dog to run around in but I never let a dog off the lead for their safety. I have no other pets. I have beautiful walks straight from my house and I can take your pet on these whenever they want to go out. My flat is comfortable and you can bring whatever bedding and toys your dog needs to have with it to make it feel at home.

“I'm very happy with Teal's professional cat-drop in services taking care of my cat for a couple of days. Teal is a good communicator, has been reliable, turned up on time and showed confidence and enthusiasm for the job. She took on board all the info I gave her for George's care, including litter tray, food/water, preparing his daily medicine, and keys handover. She also went above and beyond with squeezing in an extra check in for him as it was her first time with us. George took to her immediately - evidenced by a lovely video she shared of him doing the "paw" trick with her! I will look to book her again to take care of my cat.”

About: I have spent many many years fostering fur babies getting them ready for their forever homes. This has helped me master the patience needed with nervous dogs and dogs that haven’t been given the best lives to show them love and teach them how to trust again. Predominantly fostering Great Danes but have fostered all breeds of dogs. I’ve had to work with dog behaviourists too so have learned lots over the years.

About: We lost our rescue Springer Spaniel Roxy in December. She was with us for 13 years and when we rescued her she was over weight, had hip problems and was scared of men. Soon she was slim, learnt how to swim and won a rosette for best rescue dog at a local country show. She loved walking in the woods close to use and the beach walks we took her on and we miss the joy she brought to us on those days. The house is quiet and whilst we are not yet ready to replace her we would love to share some of our love with a few furry guests. I sometimes also look after my friends black lab called Misty who is a tea drinking nutcase!! I work for myself and most of the time from home. If it was necessary for me to have to work from a Clients premises for a day this would be scheduled in advance so I would not take on a dog whose stay would be affected by this. In the case of an emergency however my husband Mark is able to work from home or has even been known to take Roxy in to his office for different tickles! We have a large garden which is fenced and entrances fitted with gates. Any pet we care for would have free reign of this space. Depending on the needs of the dog we would walk it as often as requested and keeps it's mealtime routine. we were always strict with treats for Roxy but again would adapt to the owners requests

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the depth of hands-on experience and genuine love my family and I have for animals. For the past five years, we’ve been actively fostering a lot of dogs—each with their own unique needs, personalities, and backgrounds—giving us a strong understanding of how to care for pets with different temperaments. We currently have four foster dogs in our care, alongside our own family dog, so we’re no strangers to providing round-the-clock attention, affection, and structure. I’m confident in handling everything from administering medication to creating a calm and nurturing environment that pets can feel safe in. With me, your furry family members will be treated like one of my own. I’ve recently finished my university course, which has freed up a lot of my time during the week. At the moment, I only have a small part-time job on weekends, so I’m very flexible and available throughout the week for any pet sitting or house sitting opportunities. When caring for pets in my home, I ensure they’re welcomed into a calm, loving environment with plenty of space, stimulation, and companionship. With several years of experience fostering dogs, I’m confident in managing different temperaments and needs. Pets are given a consistent routine, regular walks, playtime, and lots of affection. In a pet owner’s home, I maintain their usual schedule and respect any specific routines or rules they’re used to. I treat every home with care and cleanliness, and I make sure each pet feels safe, secure, and comfortable in their familiar surroundings while you’re away.
