“Great communication prior to leaving my dogs with Anca, plus plenty of pics and updates whilst we were away. The dogs were happy and well looked after, they had a great garden to play in. Highly recommend especially if you're an anxious dog mum like me.”
“Amy was brilliant, so welcoming and great communication start to finish. Goose clearly felt happy and he was the calmest he's been when we've picked him up from anywhere! Absolutely would recommend and we'll be booking again in the future 😊”
“Adam and his partner have been very understanding with taking care of my dad's dog over the weekend; they made sure they stuck to his schedule and comforted him when he was feeling a little lonely! Very accommodating and would definitely recommend and use again!”
“Alison is fabulous. Buddy is really excited to get there and thoroughly enjoys his stays playing with Seren. It’s really reassuring to get updates throughout the stay to know he’s having a lovely time and is happy”
“Our fur baby had never been looked after by anyone other than family before but as it was our daughters wedding and we had to find a dog boarder. We have been so lucky to find Hayley and her partner to look after Bonnie, they made us feel relaxed in leaving her and that it was home from home for her ie sleeping in the sofa and even their bed. We would definitely leave her again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them”
“Oscar’s fourth time back and I think we’d struggle to send him anywhere else, he’s got a true home from home. This was a longer stint, 10 nights rather than his usual weekend but was as good as ever, Sophie was great at keeping us updated and Oscar just loves Poppy! He’ll definitely be back!”
“Natalia and her family have been absolutely amazing with Rocco. I’ve been getting daily updates on how he’s been doing and he’s been so settled and happy in her home. It really has been a home away from home for him. Not to mention that Natalia took on our booking for Rocco within a matter of hours due to an emergency arising with our original dog care. I couldn’t recommend Natalia enough she really cared for Rocco like he was ger own dog.”
“Another great time Bruno had with Leah. Bruno spent 2 weeks with Leah and he was very well cared for and had a great time. When we returned from holidays Bruno was relaxed and happy. Thank you for everything.”
“Love Jessica and James! We feel so lucky to have connected with them. They took amazing care of our little Stanley and he was kept busy and entertained the entire time we were away. They took him on daily walks with their dog Cookie and the two pups played together splendidly in their lovely garden. It was the perfect vacation for Stanley and we couldn’t be happier. They kept us updated with pictures of their adventures and we knew he was in good hands with them. I’m certain he’s going to be missing them for quite some time. We can’t recommend Jessica and James highly enough and can assure anyone that their pets will be well cared for and loved. Thank you, thank you!!! 😊”
“Absolute first class experience with Christie who cared for our two boys for 9 days. She went above and beyond to make Ernie, Bailey and us comfortable during their stay and we were provided with regular updates and pictures of their ‘holiday’ with Christie and her family. Would not hesitate to book again and recommend to others, absolute gem of a sitter, thank you again Christie! ⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“What a lovely, friendly family! Carmen and Adina were very welcoming and were fabulous with Jake (cat). Jake looked happy and settled in the pictures we recieved. Jake didn't seem to want to come home. We would 100% recommend Carmen and Adina to others. We would also use their services again in the future with our pets :)”
“Amrie was fantastic with Pumpkin. She settled and felt at ease straight away. She stayed for a week, and I got lots of great updates and knew my dog was having the best time. I’m so grateful, I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Pumpkin with Amrie again.”
About: With years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, I understand that leaving your beloved companion with someone new can feel daunting. That's why I take the time to build a trusting relationship with both you and your pet from our very first meeting, getting to know their personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Your pet's welfare is my highest priority. For your complete peace of mind, I am DBS checked and certified in Pet First Aid, ensuring your companion is cared for responsibly, safely, and with genuine compassion. Pet care is my full-time job, which means I’m fully dedicated to providing consistent, reliable care throughout the week. I structure my days around pet visits, dog walks, and day boarding, allowing me to be flexible with timings where needed. This flexibility means I can accommodate morning, lunchtime, and afternoon visits, as well as regular weekly routines or one-off bookings. Because this is my main focus, I’m able to give each pet the time, attention, and care they deserve without rushing between commitments. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, calm, and family-based environment where animals are supervised throughout the day. I keep numbers small to ensure each pet receives individual attention and to maintain a relaxed atmosphere. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any special requirements before their stay. This includes feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise levels, and any anxiety or behavioral considerations. For home visits, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel secure in their own environment. I ensure doors and gates are secure, provide fresh water, feeding, litter tray cleaning, and enrichment or companionship during each visit. Trust is very important to me, so I treat every home with respect and care, and I keep pet owners updated with messages, photos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Dawn was fantastic! She was very accommodating to my needs and what was needed for the dogs. She provided updates and took great care of them both! Would definitely reccomend!”
“Leo really enjoyed his stay with Jacqui! He had some lovely long walks at the Chevin and along the banks. Jacqui kept us updated on how Leo was doing and treated him like she would her own dog! We’ll definitely be rebooking with Jacqui in future.”
“Our puppy Mabel had a lovely couple of days with Hannah, we would happily leave her with Hannah if we need care again. Hannah was great at sending photos and updates and took Mabel on lots of lovely long walks :) Highly recommended!”
“Cooper has had the best time whilst away. He has been looked after and lived his best life. Great communication and flexible regarding timings. I was sent updates and photos. Would 100% recommend. Cooper has come home a happy pup.”
“Samn looked our puppy and I was so grateful, she took good care and gave updates on how she’d be, was hesitant leaving cus since she’s been a baby she’s always been with us. By the time our fifi came back home she was shattered. Would defo recommend!! x”

“We were so happy with the care Lily and Bobby received. Nicola sent regular updates and photos which really reassured us. Lily especially loved her and it was clear they bonded. She went above and beyond, keeping everything clean and making sure the cats were perfectly cared for. Highly recommend! 10/10!”
“Katie did a wonderful job looking after Fudge and our home while we were away for the week. She answered all our questions and provided lovely updates on how our boy was doing. She was very reassuring, and didn't mind all of the instructions I left behind. And on return our house was in excellent condition, she had changed the litter, emptied the bin, and stripped the bed. I was worried that leaving Fudge for a week would be stressful for him, but I can see that he's been well cared for, and his happy and healthy! We will look to book with Katie again next time we go away 😊”
About: Hello! I am a passionate cat sitter with a deep love for felines. I have two wonderful cats of my own, Ernie (the tripod) and Neil my crazy kitten, who keep me on my toes with their playful antics and sweet personalities. In addition to being a cat owner, I am also a student veterinary nurse, which means I have professional knowledge and experience in animal care. This gives me the ability to provide your cat with top-notch care, whether it’s administering medications or simply giving them the love and attention they deserve while you’re away.
“Julie was great and trustworthy with our family cat. Thank you for taking the booking so last minute!! We are so happy our cat was cared for during our time away. Julie has stayed for 5 nights and was fantastic”
About: Although I haven’t personally owned a cat, I’ve spent years around them through family and friends and have helped care for them by feeding, providing companionship, and learning their unique personalities and routines. My family cared for an outdoor cat for many years, which gave me firsthand experience understanding that every cat has its own preferences, boundaries, and way of showing affection. I genuinely enjoy spending time with cats and appreciate their independent yet loving nature. I understand the importance of a calm, patient approach and know that many cats thrive when their routines are respected. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, quiet company, or simply having someone reliable to check in on them, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive to the little things, such as changes in appetite, behavior, or mood, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Sehrish has been amazing with my dog, her updates when she dropped in and took her for walks really eased my mind whilst we were on holiday. She followed all the details for care perfectly and built such a trusting relationship with my dog. She is definitely someone we would trust looking after our animals again!”

“Lydia has been brilliant looking after my cocker spaniel puppy Dexter! Couldn’t recommend her enough. She even brought her dog Benny for a play date. Thank you for everything Dexter loves you both! ❤️”
“I made a last minute booking ( and I mean the night before going away) and Joshua rose to the task with kindness and went the extra mile I did not expect cleaning of the litter box or to spend time playing with my baby. It meant I could fully be present and enjoy time where I am . A true professional ! Grateful x”

“Samn looked after my very energetic 14 weeks old kitten. She was very professional, caring and amazing with my kitten. She sent regular updates. Will definitely recommend her services and use her again”
About: I first fell in love with animals when I was a small child looking after the class' mouse when I was in reception. I remember the first time I wanted a cat when I was 7, and the love I gave to my first cat at 8. I have had two other cats since then, so you can trust me when I say that I have more than enough experience to know what your cat needs. I know every behaviour and what they mean, what brands of food your cat would like most and where to buy it, how to properly provide your cat with an experience filled with love and care when they're missing you so much! I love cats with all my heart and I can show yours that love in the time you trust me with them in your absence.

“We left our dog with a dogsitter for the first time, and I was quite worried — I didn’t know how he would behave, whether he might be aggressive, or miss us too much. But everything went perfectly. I received several messages with updates about how he was doing, and I always knew I could reach out and get a quick reply. I’m very grateful to Ance — she is truly caring and attentive, both with animals and their owners. Highly recommended!”

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I shared 13 wonderful years with my beloved dog, who passed away this March. I also had another sweet dog who sadly left me in September last year at only 4 years old due to cancer. Losing them was heartbreaking, but it only deepened my love and care for animals. I often care for pets of friends and family, treating them like my own. I would be truly happy to meet new dogs, spend time with them, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily life. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m here to give your dog regular walks, playtime, cuddles, and attention throughout the day. Your pet will always have company and love. My home is calm, safe, and pet-friendly, with cozy spots for resting and space for play. I follow your instructions closely to keep your dog’s routine consistent, and I always take time to understand their personality so they can settle in happily and feel at ease.

I love getting out the house and offering more mental stimulation! I have a fenced garden, and one friendly dachshund to keep your fur baby company. No children/cats and safety and happiness is my priority. No escapees round here!
“I met with Nicola before Tilly (our 14 year old labradoodle) first stayed with her and felt comfortable with her from the start. You could just tell how much she loves dogs and how caring she would be with our old girl. I wasn’t wrong. Tilly was instantly comfortable. Nicola took great care of her and even put a fan on for her in the heat.”

I am happy to adapt to whatever requirements you have for your dog's comfort in their own home including any particular feeding or toilet needs.

About: I’ve lived in BD13, Thornton for over 30 years, and have been a dog owner for the last 10 years. I retired from FT work in 2024, so have plenty of spare time. I walk daily, no matter what the weather, and know some great off road routes for dog walking, so can help your dog maintain a level of fitness if for any reason you’re unable to do so, whether due to health issues, or because of work or family commitments, or if you just need a break! I’ll record walks on Strava so you can see what exercise your dog has done, and I’ll send you pics to show your doggie having fun! Car owner, so can drive to / from anywhere local. For home boarding, I live with my wife of 33 years, along with Angus, our 12 year old Jack Russell Terrier. If your dog stays with us, they will be welcomed, and treated as our own. I retired from full time work in 2024, so have plenty of time to spare, and can offer dog care / walking services on most days. Even if it’s just a one off, to support your dog whilst you’re away for a special occasion, I can hopefully help out. My house has a lovely green garden, mostly fenced, so if your pet isn’t ready for walking the full requested period, they can relax either in my house or garden whilst you have time out! I will record all walks on strava, and send you screenshots of routes, so you know your dog has been exercised, aswell as pics if you wish.
About: Hi, my name is Vita. I've been looking after furry friends for around 5 years now. I always joke saying that leaving your dog/cat with me is like sending them for a holiday while you go away. Long walks, playtime, cuddles and none stop attention is one of the top things I provide while they stay at mine. As I don't have pets of my own I am looking forward to any opportunity to have a four legged friend staying at mine. I have high sense of responsibility and their needs and comfort is my top priority. I am very flexible so anything can be discussed and agreed on so feel free to message me any time. If your little friend is friendly and have no issues with other dogs and cats, often I take them for a little trips and walks with my other furry friends or have them stay over while already having someone staying with me (often it's a cat with dog) but this can be discussed as a separate occasion. What I offer: *Long stays at mine if you go away and need somewhere to leave your friend for them to be comfortable and taken care of. *Short stays at mine 2-3 days *Daily walks. Mornings, afternoons or throughout the day. *Last minute drop offs and stays. Couple hours to couple days *Introduction meetups at yours or during the walk. *Regular updates with pictures or videos so you know your friend is doing well and is happy. *Anything else can be discussed and agreed on. Please feel free to message me with anything that you might need and I'm happy to discuss. Looking forward hearing from you soon 🤎 I'm working full time however have shift work during week. I'm available in the mornings or afternoon and have full 3 days where I am home. Looking after pets gives me the boost of having daily walks and having a companion while at home as I don't have pets of my own. I have a yard where they can freely room and run around. There is a park 10min walking distance from my house. Regular walks and playtime are part of daily life.
“Piper looked very happy with James today. He sent me a photo and video, which was lovely to see. When I went to pick her up, she was clearly settled there and relaxed. Thank you for having her!”

“I was very nervous about leaving my dog at home for the day whilst I worked as I had never done that before. I booked Saddique to walk my dog twice throughout the day and Saddique kept me updated with photos etc and I felt so much at ease. I now feel much more comfortable leaving my dog at home whilst I work knowing Saddique is going to take good care of her. I highly recommend Saddique and I will definitely be using his services again.”
About: I graduated at Askham Bryan College in York in 2024 with a BSc Degree in Canine and Feline Behaviour and Welfare. I have experience in training a variety of dog breeds. I have taught puppy classes, and basic training for all ages, and have successfully trained multiple dogs in assistance work. I have gained knowledge and experience through looking after my previous employer's three dogs for lengths of time, providing all of the different care needs for each dog such as administering medication for the eldest dog with arthritis, specific and extra grooming needs for a show dog, and keeping the smaller dog separated from the others as requested when letting her out to the garden and when feeding. I am currently available for cat and dog sitting appointment and bookings, I specialise in training and welfare, and for the needs of cats and dogs requiring medication, such as insulin injections and/or tablets to be administered. I can work to any requirements provided by the owner. I can follow the usual routine for the cats if requested, or if the owner would feel better with keeping the cats indoors, or want them back in the house at specific times, I can keep the cats sufficiently occupied and exercised. I can walk the dogs as requested and within the enclosed space of their homes when out in the garden.
About: I've always been an animal lover, and I have been caring for various pets for many years! I have my own cat, Tommy, who I've had the pleasure of taking care of over the past 10 years. Looking after him has given me hands-on experience with everything from feeding and grooming to recognising changes in his behaviour or health. Over the years, i have learned how important patience and building trust is with animals. In addition to caring for my own cat, I've also helped look after a dog for around 5 years. This included regular walks, feeding and playing. I helped with basic training such as reinforcing good behaviours on walks, as well as maintaining good routine and structure with him. As he can be quite an energetic dog, this experience has given me the confidence in handling dogs with various energy levels. I have also taken care of other cats and dogs for shorter periods of time. Whether it's been a few days or a weekend, I always make sure to provide them the best level of care and attention as I would with my own cat. I always ensure that pets in my care feel safe, loved and comfortable. I pay close attention to their needs and personalities to ensure I can give the best care possible. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility and plenty of time to provide attentive and consistent care for pets. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure I plan my schedule around the needs of the animals I’m looking after. Because I’m not working full-time hours, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time throughout the week. I’m organised and reliable, and I always ensure pets are fed on time, exercised properly, and given lots of attention and affection. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully — including feeding routines, walking schedules, medication (if required), and any specific behavioural needs. I pay close attention to pets at all times and make sure they are kept in a secure and safe environment. I’m mindful of keeping doors and gates secure, avoiding unsafe foods or objects, and ensuring pets are supervised appropriately. I can also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away.

About: Hi, I'm a passionate dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, personalities, and needs. I have my own dog, Torrin, a 3-year-old German Wirehaired Pointer (GWP), who keeps me active and has given me valuable experience in training, exercise, and daily care. Over the past two years, I've also regularly looked after two dogs, Hattie and Senga, building strong relationships with both them and their owners. Through caring for multiple dogs, I've developed a good understanding of different temperaments, routines, and requirements, and I'm committed to providing a safe, reliable, and enjoyable experience for every dog in my care. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I'll make sure your dog receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you're away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I'll treat your dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits very easily into my routine, especially during the week as I'm currently on my university summer break and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to walks, drop-in visits, and general pet care throughout the day. During term time and outside the summer period, I'm also available on occasional weekends and will always communicate my availability clearly in advance. I always aim to follow a pet's usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether caring for pets in my home or in an owner's home, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection, along with fresh water, meals, and any other care instructions provided by the owner. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important consistency and communication are. I have a 3-year-old German Wirehaired Pointer, Torrin, and over the past two years I have regularly cared for two other dogs, Hattie and Senga. This experience has helped me become confident in managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel reassured that their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while they're away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs most of my life for friends and family and have worked at a dog boarding kennels for 3 years working with all kinds of dog breeds and I studied dog behaviour, nutrition and management including housing and healthcare I’m currently working part time between 8-10am and 3-5pm so I’m available most days in between, if you are okay with your dog/dog’s being left for 2 hours morning and afternoon. In your home I will listen and follow all instructions to keep your pet safe and happy this will extend to outside the home on walks. Unfortunately i cannot have your pet in my home as I have a reactive dog and wouldn’t want to put another animal in danger or distress.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for many years through personal experience as a dog owner. I raised my first dog from just two weeks old, giving me hands-on experience with puppy care, feeding schedules, socialization, and basic training. I’ve also adopted and cared for rescue dogs, which has taught me patience and how to adapt to different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with dogs of various sizes and breeds and have experience with strong, energetic breeds, including bully breeds. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, whether that’s going for walks, playing, providing companionship, or sticking to their established routines. I understand the importance of creating a safe, loving, and structured environment where dogs feel comfortable and cared for. I’m currently available on weekdays and have a flexible daytime schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care for your pets. Whether your furry friend needs a walk, a check-in, or some company while you’re away, I’m happy to work with you to find a routine that fits their needs. I currently focus on providing walks and in-home drop-in care, as I love giving pets attention and companionship while keeping them comfortable in their own environment. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and provide plenty of care, playtime, and cuddles while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I will always treat them with the same patience, love, and respect that I would give my own pets.
About: I have taken care of my neighbours dogs in numerous occasions and have had 10 years worth of experience with 3 cats of my own. I understand how dearly pet owners love their pets; as if they were their own children (I know I do!) and therefore believe that I would be a great carer for your little ones as you enjoy your break! I am a Biomedical science University student living at home and have a lot of free time to take care of and provide attention to your pets! I am also trained in lab skills and know what behaviours in animals would be alarming. I can maintain the same or a very similar routine for your pets as the ones they follow when you are around, I am a massive animal lover and can take really good care of your fur babies
About: I’ve always loved animals especially dogs and I treat them literally like fur babies! Ever since I was a young child I’ve had dogs around me and as pets. I use to always enjoy walking the neighbours dogs too. I’ve looked after friends and family’s pets numerous of times whilst they’ve been on holiday or just at work. I have a cocker spaniel of my own so he loves tagging along for the exercise and to socialise with other dogs! I’ve also helped friends when their dogs have had a litter. I helped them with feeding, toilet training and to keep clean.

“Leah is very kind and professional, my doggy loves her. I have a regular slot and have no qualms about giving Leah my housekeys. She comes in and out for my dog without disturbing my work.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities for over ten years. From energetic puppies to calm seniors, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Friends, family, and neighbours have always trusted me to walk, feed, and cuddle their pets while they’re away. I pay close attention to each animal’s routine and personality whether it’s a long walk, gentle brushing, or quiet company, I adapt to what they need most Animals have always been a big part of my life I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, and caring for them quickly became something that makes me genuinely happy. I love spending time outdoors, going for long walks, and creating a calm, safe space for every pet I look after. I’m responsible, patient, and treat every animal as if it were my own. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or keeping them company while you’re away, I make sure your pet feels loved and cared for.

I also keep their routine consistent feeding, walks, and playtime happen just as they’re used to. My goal is to create an environment that feels like their second home full of safety, trust, and care
About: A lifelong animal lover who would be so excited to take care of your little family members. My pooch is fortunate to have company most days since I work 3 days a week. I would be glad to offer your pups a helping hand and support since not everyone has this opportunity. I have house-sat for friends' and families' pets, so thought it would be a great opportunity to share my love with others. Previously I've had Japanese Akita’s, Shih Tzu and Labrador’s and now my bundle of fun Cockapoo 'Doug', so have plenty of experience training and caring for high-energy larger dogs that need lots of mental stimulation and enrichment. If your pup is happier cuddling on the couch, that works perfectly for a bookworm like me. As long as you're away, your furry family member will get all the attention and belly rubs it needs. I live a short walk from Northcliff park a quiet dog park and Roberts Park so your pooch will always have a big, grassy area to play on or off-leash or we can go for nice long walks. I love exploring new areas too, so if you are located in another area I would thrive on exploring new walks with your furry friend. While you're away, your pet can enjoy a good cuddle, play session, and park walk. As much as anything, I am a patient, loving, and reliable person, who loves sharing my love of animals with others. I am a qualified midwife. So not only do I love my fur babies but I bring real babies into the world. I work shift work but only 3 days a week so have 4 days free to love your fur babies as much as I love mine! My dog has free rein of the house. He sleeps on our bed and knows no where is off limited. Any dog is welcome to sleep on our sofa aswell, I believe a pet is as much part of the family as anyone else. I have a big garden which is fully secure with 6ft walls, the garden is packed with toys (as my dog takes them out and does not bring them back)
About: I have had animals in my life for as long as I can remember, including dogs, cats, horses, and reptiles, which has given me a wide range of hands-on experience in animal care. From a young age, I developed a deep passion for working with animals and began training my first dog, Belle, at just seven years old. I proudly took her to dog shows to showcase the skills and abilities I had worked hard to develop with her, which taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of positive training. Currently, I have a French Bulldog named Leo, who is my absolute rock. Through caring for him, I have gained a strong understanding of the specific needs, health considerations, and attention that this breed requires. My experience extends beyond my own pets, as I have regularly looked after friends’ and family members’ dogs while they are away on holiday or working. I am reliable, responsible, and always prioritise the animals’ wellbeing, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and properly cared for at all times. Animals have always been at the heart of my life, and I take great pride in providing attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate care. I am currently looking at other options in my career so I am free weekdays to take care of your pets needs, whether you are at work or on holiday. I have a large fully enclosed decking with plenty of rooms for dogs to play with whatever toys they love. I also have Leo who is an friendly pooch for them to engage with as he loves to play with new friends. There are also tons of walks around my house with open space for dogs to bound around.
“Chloe has been great, no problems with the walks she took my dog on, knowing my dog was looked after we'll & had a good walk gave me peace of mind. I will definitely use Chloe again!”

She went above and beyond to make Ernie, Bailey and us comfortable during their stay and we were provided with regular updates and pictures of their ‘holiday’ with Christie and her family. Would not hesitate to book again and recommend to others, absolute gem of a sitter, thank you again Christie! ⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: With years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, I understand that leaving your beloved companion with someone new can feel daunting. That's why I take the time to build a trusting relationship with both you and your pet from our very first meeting, getting to know their personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Your pet's welfare is my highest priority. For your complete peace of mind, I am DBS checked and certified in Pet First Aid, ensuring your companion is cared for responsibly, safely, and with genuine compassion. Pet care is my full-time job, which means I’m fully dedicated to providing consistent, reliable care throughout the week. I structure my days around pet visits, dog walks, and day boarding, allowing me to be flexible with timings where needed. This flexibility means I can accommodate morning, lunchtime, and afternoon visits, as well as regular weekly routines or one-off bookings. Because this is my main focus, I’m able to give each pet the time, attention, and care they deserve without rushing between commitments. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, calm, and family-based environment where animals are supervised throughout the day. I keep numbers small to ensure each pet receives individual attention and to maintain a relaxed atmosphere. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any special requirements before their stay. This includes feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise levels, and any anxiety or behavioral considerations. For home visits, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel secure in their own environment. I ensure doors and gates are secure, provide fresh water, feeding, litter tray cleaning, and enrichment or companionship during each visit. Trust is very important to me, so I treat every home with respect and care, and I keep pet owners updated with messages, photos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I grew up with dogs, a mixed breed and a whippet and as an adult have had 3 sighthounds - 2 beautiful greyhounds and my current dog; gorgeous Arlo the lurcher. I have cared for dogs of all ages and have experience caring for dogs with very significant medical needs. My boy Arlo was diagnosed with a tumour this year and has just completed radiotherapy. He's now doing brilliantly and is back to his joyful best. All my dogs have been rescues from situations of neglect, so I am also experienced in supporting dogs who have experienced trauma. I love dogs with all my heart and make friends with every dog I meet. Dogs often seem especially drawn to me, with many owners commenting that their dogs don't usually make a fuss of strangers! I promise to treat your dog with the same love, respect and care that I give my own dog. Because of my work I have an enhanced DBS checks, so you can be absolutely sure I am a safe and trustworthy person to leave your precious pup with. I work in education part-time, so term time I can do Mondays, Fridays. Saturdays and Sundays. During the school holidays I am largely available every day. My dog Arlo likes plenty of exercise and fun to keep his brain stimulated, so days with us are usually busy; at least 3 hours of walking and playing with toys at home also - Arlo is happy to share. I have a small fenced garden and live close to lots of lovely walks. Arlo and I love to explore the countryside on long walks and would love your doggo to keep us company. On hot summer days we choose woodland walks with plenty of shade and places to have a swim and a drink.

We knownHoney had an equally good weekend and its was great to check in and know she was happy ! Thank you will rebook !!”
About: Hi, we’re Rachel and James! We have a three year old dog called Murphy who just loves making new friends. Our house and garden are both very dog friendly and we also live opposite a park with is ideal for walks during the day. We always walk Murphy twice a day and can take your dog along too! I work from home and can take breaks throughout the day to let your pooch out for bathroom breaks. On nice days, we usually just leave the back door open anyway for our dog, so they will be free to roam. Murphy is a great mix of playful and restful during the day, so your dog will have a great time with him! We have a fully fenced back garden and the dog would have free roam of the house during the day. Overnight, they would sleep downstairs (either on the sofa in the living room with Murphy, in the kitchen or in a crate, your preference.)
“Teddy had the most wonderful time staying with Emily and her family! From the moment he arrived, it was clear he was going to be treated like one of their own. It was clear that Emily and her family genuinely care about the dogs they look after .We especially appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. When we picked Teddy up, he was happy, It’s such a relief knowing we can leave him somewhere he feels safe and loved. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Emily and her family to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring home-from-home for their dog!”
“Another lovely visit for Smudge with Amy - he stayed for a few days with a couple of other dogs too and was very well looked after and happy. Any has a great way with Smudge and he really enjoys his stays with her!”
About: I’m an experienced dog owner and sitter who’s cared for a range of breeds, from Huskies and German Shepherd crosses to various small and medium-sized dogs for family and friends. I currently have a 6-year-old Golden Labrador who’s friendly and well-socialized. I have plenty of experience with anxious and reactive dogs and always take a calm, patient approach to help them feel safe and happy. I’m also happy to keep up with any training routines during their stay or walks to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I have the freedom to work from home most days, as well as the option to work from a dog-friendly office. My flexible lifestyle and plenty of spare time mean I can give another furry friend lots of care, walks, and attention. I live in a dog-friendly apartment building with a secure, enclosed terrace and a local park just a five-minute walk away. I treat all pets like my own, giving them plenty of love and attention. Pets are welcome on the furniture so they can feel right at home and relaxed.
“Thank you for looking after Benny. Lovely to hear that he and the cats became friends and that he snuggled himself right in and felt at home. He's already looking forward to the next time.”
