“Hayley was absolutely amazing with our Staffy Lola! She looked after her as her own. After being very nervous about leaving her for the first time overnight, Hayley made me feel so comfortable knowing she was in the best care! She sent lots of photos of Lola to us out on walks and having cuddles 😊 Lola was very happy staying with Hayley & her son. I couldn’t think of a better person to of chosen to look after her. I very highly recommend Hayley to anybody looking for somewhere to leave there pets overnight in a loving family home. Thank you so much Hayley I will definitely be using you again and recommending you to everybody I can.”
“I can’t praise Laura and her family enough! From arranging the booking to picking Boe up, everything was just brilliant. They have a lovely home and are the nicest people you will meet, and your pets will have the best care that they deserve during their stay. Constantly kept me upto date and at ease on how things are going. Plenty of walks throughout the day and any requests or instructions were not at issue at all. Already planned to rebook with Laura again for another stay. Thankyou again to the whole family for making Boe’s stay so welcoming! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐”
“Bruno loved staying with Joshua and his family. He came back in a far better mood than when we use kennels and received far better care. Will not hesitate to send him back for another stay. Thanks again Matt & Nicky”
“Matthew was caring and conscientious whilst looking after our little dog. The circumstances were less than ideal, the weather was 30 degrees and she unfortunately had an illness which required antibiotics, although she was well in herself by the time we left her, she still needed to finish her course of medication whilst staying with Matthew. Matthew kept me updated and in touch the whole time, and immediately shared any concerns, and acted as necessary. Thank you Matthew”
About: Hi! I’m originally from Brazil and recently moved here. I’m still improving my English, but I’m dedicated, responsible, and passionate about animals. I’ve been working with pets since 2021. In Brazil, I worked at a pet shop as a pet bather, where I gained experience handling dogs and cats of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve also cared for my own pets, as well as pets belonging to family, friends, and clients. I really enjoy spending time with dogs, whether we’re out on a walk or relaxing and playing together at home. I also offer dog boarding in my home, where I can provide a safe, comfortable and welcoming environment for pets while their owners are away. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, playtime and rest, always respecting their individual routine and needs. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable and dedicated care. My goal is to make every walk and stay a positive, safe and enjoyable experience, while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for dog walks during the week and, when needed, on weekends. I also offer dog boarding in my home, providing a safe, comfortable and welcoming environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away. I like to organise my schedule so I can give each dog the time and attention they deserve, always respecting their individual pace, needs and personality. Whether it’s going for a walk or staying in my home, my goal is to provide safe, enjoyable and stress-free care, making sure every pet feels comfortable, happy and well looked after. When caring for animals, their safety and well-being are always my top priorities. During walks, I always keep dogs securely on a leash, avoid unsafe areas, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. For dogs staying in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable and welcoming environment, while carefully following their usual routines, needs, and any instructions provided by their owners. I always respect each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs, whether they are joining me for a walk or staying in my home. My goal is to make every walk and stay a safe, enjoyable, and positive experience, giving owners confidence that their pet is being cared for with patience, responsibility, and attention.

I always stay vigilante with possible dangers in the home or out on walks that may cause a potential danger to your pet by undertaking various risk assessments to make sure all pets are in a safe and protected environment.
“I needed to find a new sitter for my little dog as my usual lady is retiring this year. He stayed with Daria yesterday and overnight as a trial and he settled in lovely. I had no worries that he was being well cared for during his stay and got regular updates and videos which was very comforting. I am about to re book for some later dates. 🙂”
“Amazing! Jaxx was looked after like one of Anitha’s own. Kept us well updated with messages and pics, 10/10. All the nervousness of leaving him, especially soon after young, she took away. Thank you again.”
“Millie was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She replied to all my messages quickly, and was very thorough to make sure that Maggie's routine wasn't too disrupted and her stay was as comfortable as possible. She was very reassuring of my worries about leaving a crazy puppy with someone new for her first night away from home, and even met up with us beforehand so that Maggie could meet her and see the house before she went to stay overnight. She sent regular updates and pictures throughout the stay, and I could see that she was really settled and having a great time getting lots of walks love and attention! I would definitely recommend Millie, and Mags can't wait until I next go away so that she can go and visit her new best friend❤️”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing our boys were being cared for as part of the family, not just looked after. We received regular updates with lots of photos and videos, which really meant the world to us while we were away—it was clear they were happy, relaxed, and enjoying themselves. It’s so reassuring to see your pets thriving in someone else’s care. When we came home, the boys were content, well cared for, and their usual happy selves, which says everything. It’s such a relief to have someone we trust so completely. We would absolutely recommend Julie to anyone looking for loving, reliable care for their pets. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of our boys!”
“Would highly recommend Dan as a sitter. He’s very easy going and was attentive to my dog’s needs, allowing him on the sofa and bed, just like a home from home. He had plenty of walks and Dan updated me regularly with pictures and messages. Thank you Dan, couldn’t ask for more”
“Our two dogs loved staying with Sara, they seemed very comfortable from the minute they were introduced and throughout. Sara was great with updating us and we would recommend her services :) thanks again! 🐾”
“Luke and Michelle have been amazing with our bulldog Travis 🧡 we needed Travis looking after overnight at very last minute and they where quick to offer there help, and put our minds at ease. They kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout he’s stay, plenty of walks, loads of play time and made a new friend in Sydney. Thank you so much would definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Kirsty and the whole family were absolutely amazing!!! Dotty didn’t want to leave and they looked after her like she was their own. Amazing service Dotty can’t wait to go back to see her new bestie!”
“Molly is an old lady with a few problems. Natalie was a perfect fit for her from first meeting to collection after her visit. When she was dropped off she immediately abandoned us and made herself at home in Natalie's house. We would highly recommend her as a sitter, particularly as she only takes one dog at a time. Molly we think enjoyed the company of Natalie's own dog too.”
“Bear had the best time with Helena- she catered to all his needs and gave him lots of love and snuggles! Communication was great also and lots of picture updates. Will deffo use again when needed. Thanks Helena x”
“Barney was well looked after with Elaine, It was a last minute booking so I was a bit nervous leaving him. Elaine made him feel at home and sent regular updates and photos during his 1 night stay and he looked like he was having a great time, which put my mind at rest I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her to look after Barney again. Thanks Elaine ?”

“Harmony and her mum have been absolutely amazing! Above and beyond every single day. The boys absolutely loved them and they even helped with the bonding process. Cannot recommend enough and will be booking again in the future. Thank you! ❤️”
“Corey was amazing, from my first message to enquire, through to meeting her and her caring for Barry, literally 5 star service. Update messages and pics every day were really wonderful, especially because I was a bit worried leaving Baz in the care of someone he didn't know since he's a very anxious cat. To my surprise within a few days Baz and Corey were pals! I think that's really testament to Corey's caring and calm demeanor. It really made a difference to allowing me to relax and be confident he was in good hands while we were away. Couldn't recommend her as a cat sitter enough 😊 Thank you!”
“Maisie took fantastic care of our cat. Her communication was excellent—she sent detailed updates and photos every day, which really put our minds at ease. Maisie was not only professional but also incredibly friendly and kind. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and we came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. We would definitely recommend Maisie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“We are so grateful to have found Julie and lucky that she had space to look after our 2 lovely feline family members Julie is so caring and nurturing. Our younger cat Tinsel is very nervous of people and I was quite worried about leaving him for a week as I thought he would not come in the house..how wrong I was. Julie worked her magic and he came in every night for her, letting her cuddle and fuss him and eating his meals for her. It's a miracle as he won't let anyone other than us go near him Our elderly lady Sasha was another worry as at 20 she has her routine and being part Siamese she still loves a lot of attention from us. But Julie looked after her so well and we felt very reassured Julie really understands cats, she gets to know them and she is in time with their personalities To top it all off Julie washed our towels and bedding, hung them out, cleaned and tidied and cooked our tea!!! She's an angel. 10 stars”

It was such a comfort knowing they were in safe hands, and when I came home they were so happy and settled. I’d definitely book Paige again 😻❤️”
About: I believe pets aren’t just animals - they’re family. That’s why everything I do is built around trust, compassion, and genuinely personalised care. I’m an animal lover with a CPD Accredited Level 3 Diploma in Dog Grooming, Pet Sitting & Dog Walking, offering professional dog walking, pet sitting, puppy and kitten care, and overnight house sitting tailored to suit each pet’s unique personality, age, and individual needs. I have hands-on experience caring for young puppies, senior dogs, and pregnant dogs, and I understand the extra patience, attention, and gentle handling they require. From helping puppies build routines and supporting toilet training, to providing slower-paced, comfort-focused care for older dogs, and calm, attentive support for pregnant dogs, I treat every stage of a pet’s life with the care and respect it deserves. No two pets are the same, which is why I always take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special requirements. I am fully insured and DBS checked, giving you complete peace of mind whether you’re at work, away for the day, or enjoying a holiday. Your pet’s safety, wellbeing, and happiness always come first.

With regular updates, photos, and open communication, you’ll always know your furry family members are in safe, caring hands. Because for me, it’s not just pet care - it’s care with heart 🐶🐱💛 I work as a full-time dog walker and pet sitter, offering flexible availability from Monday to Sunday, because I understand that your furry friends need love, care, and routine every day of the week - not just weekdays. Dog walks and drop-in visits are available between 7:30am and 7:30pm, allowing for both early starts and evening care to fit around your schedule. House sitting services are arranged on an individual basis and will be discussed in detail with each owner to ensure the best possible care for your home and pets. My aim is to provide reliable, consistent, and stress-free care that works for both you and your pets 🐾💛 The safety, comfort, and wellbeing of every pet in my care is always my top priority. All services are provided in the pet owner’s home or out on walks, allowing pets to remain in familiar surroundings and continue with their normal routines. Before any service begins, I take the time to get to know each pet through an initial meeting and a detailed pet information form. This helps me understand feeding routines, exercise needs, medical requirements, behavioural traits, and any special care instructions. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pregnant dogs, and I adapt my care to suit each pet’s individual needs - from gentle handling and slower walks to increased supervision and reassurance. When caring for pets in the owner’s home, I treat both the pets and the property with the utmost respect. I carefully follow all instructions provided, maintain home security, and aim to keep routines as consistent as possible to reduce stress and anxiety. During house sitting services, pets receive companionship, attention, and calm, reliable care while their home remains secure. For dog walking services, I assess each dog individually, use secure leads and harnesses, choose safe walking routes, and closely monitor behaviour at all times. Walks are tailored to each dog’s age, health, and energy levels to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. I am fully insured and DBS checked, and I maintain clear, open communication with owners throughout every service, including regular updates and photos. My aim is to build long-term trust with both pets and their owners by providing reliable, compassionate care in a safe and familiar environment.
“We were on holiday & so pleased I booked Charley to look after our Skyla in the caravan whilst we went out to the clubhouse. Charley took Skyla out for a walk & had cuddles on the sofa. Skyla loved her new friend and was very happy. We had photos & an update. Thank you so much, we will definitely use again if on holiday here. Highly recommended 🐶”

About: With our 1-year-old Sprocker Spaniel, we understand the importance of both mental and physical stimulation to keep dogs happy and healthy.

We take Arlo on morning and evening walks, adding up to around 3 hours of exercise each day.

Plus plenty of time to cater for your dogs needs.
“This was my first time using a cat sitter and whilst I was initially nervous, Abbie made me feel much more relaxed and I looked forward to her updates with photos and videos each day. My cat became very comfortable with her quickly and received great care. Would definitely book her again in the future x”
“Ellee did an amazing job looking after our cat Hugo for a week. Hugo is usually very shy and wary of people but seemed to love having Ellee around. We will definitely be looking to have Elle come and look after Hugo again when we are next away.”
About: I really miss dogs and would love to share a new friendship with local doggies 🐶 I love being outside and walking and would love to have an excuse to be out and about, and dog walking is the perfect reason. I work in healthcare, but regular hours and so I'm free on evenings and weekends 😊 I'm always going for walks anyways! I can't have my own pet due to being out of the house too long at any one time, so would love to have quality time with local dogs instead!! I value dog and owner safety first and foremost, but also want dogs to have a fun and enjoyable time. I am always aware of my surroundings and am aware of how to keep dogs safe etc.

“Laura and her family took such good care of Charlie. Charlie is anxious with new people when he's away from me but the photos Laura sent showed him at ease and comfortable, enjoying rests and walks and socialising with the other dogs. Laura accepted my very last-minute booking and we arranged everything on the morning itself. I am confident that Charlie will be comfortable and happy to visit Laura again!”
“Sandra and her family gave Molly a lovely home from home stay. She came home very happy and chilled and it was clear she’d had a lovely day.

“Xiao did an amazing job looking after our 3 months old Yorkie. It was our puppy’s first time interacting with other fluffy friends, and Xiao handled everything with great care and professionalism, helping her settle in and adapt comfortably. She kept us updated throughout the entire stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’re incredibly grateful for her support and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and experienced sitter - especially for young puppies.”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life and caring for them comes naturally. Until recently, I cared for my own rescue Labrador, Brodie, who brought so much joy to our home. Caring for him, including during his final months, taught me the importance of patience, routine, compassion and understanding every dog’s individual needs. I have a safe, loving home with a fully enclosed, secure garden where dogs can play and relax. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa or simply a quiet place to unwind, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust, and I’ll make sure they’re happy, safe and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home, which means I’m able to provide flexible, attentive care throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of company, regular toilet breaks, playtime and affection. I can easily follow your dog’s usual routine, whether that’s scheduled walks, medication, feeding times or simply enjoying a calm, loving home environment. My aim is to make your dog feel as relaxed and comfortable as they do in their own home. Your dog’s safety and happiness will always come first. I have a secure, fully enclosed garden where dogs can play safely, along with a clean, pet-friendly home where they’re treated as part of the family. Having recently lost my beloved rescue Labrador, Brodie, our home has plenty of love to give. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, so I’ll care for them as if they were my own, following their normal routine and providing regular photo and video updates to give you complete peace of mind.I have a fenced garden.
“Melissa took good care of our boy, who had a nice time with her for the day. She answered messages quickly, and was very helpful when our plans changed. I’d recommend her without hesitation!”
“Luke and his partner were so kind and understanding when they looked after Cilla for the day (it was the first time we had left her with someone). They sent a photo and update and we discussed what I could take to help her settle further when she has an overnight stay. Thank you!”
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Growing up with pets has given me a genuine understanding of their different personalities, routines, and individual needs. I've owned a Labrador Retriever and currently have a Working Cocker Spaniel, so I have hands-on experience with both relaxed family dogs and more energetic breeds that require plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. I've also had cats throughout my life, giving me a good understanding of feline behaviour and the importance of providing a calm, safe, and stress-free environment. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've looked after dogs and cats for neighbours, friends, and family, including home visits, feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and check-ins while owners have been away. I understand that every pet is unique, which is why I take the time to follow each owner's instructions carefully. Whether it's sticking to a specific feeding schedule, administering medication orally(if required), maintaining exercise routines, or simply providing plenty of love, attention and reassurance; I tailor my care to ensure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well looked after. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is being cared for as if they were my own. I am also fully insured for your peace of mind and carry first aid kit either on me or in the car. I have a flexible schedule, which means I'm available for boarding, drop-in visits, and walks throughout the week, including weekends. This allows me to provide plenty of time, attention, and companionship to the pets in my care, while working around their usual routines. Your pet's wellbeing is always my top priority. This includes feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, medication (where needed), and any special requirements to help them feel comfortable and settled. During warmer weather, I also take extra precautions to keep dogs safe. If temperatures exceed 22°C, I won't take dogs out for walks, as heat can be dangerous. Instead, I'll provide indoor enrichment, play, and plenty of attention, along with access to fresh water and regular comfort breaks in a safe, shaded area where appropriate. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and secure home where pets can relax and feel part of the family while you're away. I live in a house with a large, fully fenced garden, giving dogs a safe outdoor space to play, explore, and enjoy regular toilet breaks. Inside, they'll have plenty of companionship, attention, and a comfortable environment to settle into. I also have a 5-month-old female Working Cocker Spaniel who is friendly, playful, and enjoys the company of other dogs. She has a gentle nature and is also comfortable around cats. I always introduce pets carefully and supervise interactions to ensure everyone feels safe and at ease. I understand that every pet is different, so I'll always follow your instructions regarding routines, boundaries, feeding, exercise, and any special requirements. My aim is to provide the same level of care, patience, and affection that I'd want for my own pet, so you can enjoy complete peace of mind while you're away.
About: I've been around dogs my whole life. I was raised around German shepherds for 19 years and I had about 15! I've currently got a little border terrier, who's 4 and I've had him from a pup. I understand the training needs for dogs of all ages. I'm home consistently, and can assure that they'd be treated the way I treat my own. I have looked after family dogs, friends dogs and others before when they've been away. I enjoy taking days out with the dogs, to the beach or forests. I like to give them good socialising experiences and I understand the importance of this. Their care and welfare is of upmost importance to me. I'm home consistently, and currently I am looking to build a permanent doggy day care business. This will be my weekly routine, and full time earning. I have a Border Terrier and he is allowed the rein of the house. There's a secure back garden, that has a 6ft fence that he regularly runs around and plays in. My house has three large reception rooms so plenty of space for a dog to run and play in. There's an amplitude of toys and treats! They'll also have plenty of room if they need a minute to themselves. There's a designated area for dog beds and blankets for them to have a nap in. I am also a 5 minute walk away from the playing fields, where I often walk my dog.

My journey with animals has taken me across the globe. Having lived and pet-sat in both Australia and the UK, I’ve had the joy of caring for a wide variety of breeds and temperaments. From high-energy pups to gentle seniors, I am comfortable and confident working with dogs of all shapes and sizes. My background in professional babysitting has also helped me develop a high level of patience, responsibility, and an intuitive approach to care. I know how to stick to routines, manage dietary needs, and—most importantly—provide plenty of companionship and play. I currently share my home with a beautiful, energetic Dalmatian, so I am very well-versed in the needs of active breeds. Whether your pet is a tiny companion or a giant gentle soul, I have the experience to keep them safe, happy, and exercised. I pride myself on being communicative and detail-oriented. You can relax knowing your home and your pet are in dedicated, trustworthy hands. I would love to meet your furry family member and provide them with the care and companionship they deserve. Feel free to reach out with any questions! Because I work as a supply teacher, I am currently heading into a seven-week summer break, which means my schedule is entirely open. I am able to commit fully to your dog’s care, providing dedicated attention day and night. Aside from the occasional, short errand—typically just a couple of hours at most—I will be right there with your pup. Whether your companion needs an extra-long morning walk, active play throughout the day, or just some quiet companionship on the sofa in the evening, I am physically and mentally present to provide it. During our outings, I practice proactive awareness, keeping a firm grip on the leash and maintaining a safe distance from other dogs or traffic to prevent any unexpected incidents. My goal is to be a calm, observant, and highly attentive presence, constantly monitoring your dog’s body language and comfort levels to ensure that your home remains a peaceful, stress-free, and safe sanctuary while you are away. When caring for your pet in your own home, my top priority is maintaining a secure and familiar environment where they feel completely at ease. I begin by conducting a thorough "safety sweep" to ensure all entry points are secure and any potential hazards—such as stray cords, household plants, or cleaning supplies—are safely tucked away. I strictly adhere to your established house rules and routine, ensuring that feeding times, walk schedules, and any medication requirements are handled with consistency. During outings, I practice proactive awareness, keeping a firm grip on the leash and maintaining a safe distance from other dogs or traffic to prevent any unexpected incidents. My goal is to be a calm, observant presence, keeping a close eye on your dog’s body language and comfort levels so that your home remains a peaceful, stress-free sanctuary while you are away.

About: As a passionate dog lover, my mission is simple: to give your four-legged best friends the exercise, socialization, and absolute best care they deserve! Whether your pup loves exploring the beach, sniffing through the parks, or just needs a solid leg-stretch and potty break while you’re at work, I’ve got you covered! 🫶🏼 I’m currently self employed so have a clear schedule most days to look after and walk your dogs/ cats or other animals!

About: AVAILABLE MON-THURS i have been in the presence of animals since i was 4 years old. i have qualifications in animal management and can handle/deal with a lot of animals with a lot of needs. i can additionally identify mental and physical illness, proscribe any medications and train animals fast and effectively (even cats 🤣) i volunteered at my local farm for 2 years for my college placement and now studying at the university of hull to become a zoologist at university. i currently have 4 cats at my home in west yorkshire. i lost my 16 year old kitty in march, so i don’t have a set schedule anymore. although, my pet care varies as me and my parents love to feed the strays that come often :) care of pets will either be in the park or at the owners home, (or my home for cat care)… we have stray cats that visit and i wouldn’t want to scare them away with a dog ❤️ hope you understand!
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Growing up with pets has given me a genuine understanding of their different personalities, routines, and individual needs. I've owned a Labrador Retriever and currently have a Working Cocker Spaniel, so I have hands-on experience with both relaxed family dogs and more energetic breeds that require plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. I've also had cats throughout my life, giving me a good understanding of feline behaviour and the importance of providing a calm, safe, and stress-free environment. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've looked after dogs and cats for neighbours, friends, and family, including home visits, feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and check-ins while owners have been away. I understand that every pet is unique, which is why I take the time to follow each owner's instructions carefully. Whether it's sticking to a specific feeding schedule, administering medication orally(if required), maintaining exercise routines, or simply providing plenty of love, attention and reassurance; I tailor my care to ensure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well looked after. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is being cared for as if they were my own. I am also fully insured for your peace of mind and carry first aid kit either on me or in the car. I have a flexible schedule, which means I'm available for boarding, drop-in visits, and walks throughout the week, including weekends. This allows me to provide plenty of time, attention, and companionship to the pets in my care, while working around their usual routines. Your pet's wellbeing is always my top priority. This includes feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, medication (where needed), and any special requirements to help them feel comfortable and settled. During warmer weather, I also take extra precautions to keep dogs safe. If temperatures exceed 22°C, I won't take dogs out for walks, as heat can be dangerous. Instead, I'll provide indoor enrichment, play, and plenty of attention, along with access to fresh water and regular comfort breaks in a safe, shaded area where appropriate. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and secure home where pets can relax and feel part of the family while you're away. I live in a house with a large, fully fenced garden, giving dogs a safe outdoor space to play, explore, and enjoy regular toilet breaks. Inside, they'll have plenty of companionship, attention, and a comfortable environment to settle into. I also have a 5-month-old female Working Cocker Spaniel who is friendly, playful, and enjoys the company of other dogs. She has a gentle nature and is also comfortable around cats. I always introduce pets carefully and supervise interactions to ensure everyone feels safe and at ease. I understand that every pet is different, so I'll always follow your instructions regarding routines, boundaries, feeding, exercise, and any special requirements. My aim is to provide the same level of care, patience, and affection that I'd want for my own pet, so you can enjoy complete peace of mind while you're away.
About: Fully insured! I’ve always had a passion for caring for animals, having grown up with dogs and cats. Their companionship means the world to me. Even when I haven’t had pets of my own, I’ve happily helped family and friends by walking their dogs, feeding their pets, and providing loving attention. I’m excited to offer dog walking, drop-in visits and house sitting services for both dogs and cats. These roles not only allow me to provide reliable, loving care for your pets but also help me gain valuable experience as I pursue my goal of becoming a dog trainer. I’m committed to ensuring your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Since I work full-time from home, I have the flexibility to fit pet care into my day easily. This allows me to combine my love of animals with regular walks and visits, making it a natural and enjoyable part of my routine. I’m adaptable with timing and can accommodate lunchtimes, evenings, or other hours that work best for you and your pet. When caring for pets in their owners homes, my top priority is to make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and cared for just as they would be if you were there. I pay close attention to their individual needs—whether that’s following feeding schedules, giving them plenty of attention and exercise, or simply providing a calm and loving environment. I believe every pet deserves the best care possible, and I’m committed to meeting all their needs while you’re away.
About: I've been around dogs my whole life. I was raised around German shepherds for 19 years and I had about 15! I've currently got a little border terrier, who's 4 and I've had him from a pup. I understand the training needs for dogs of all ages. I'm home consistently, and can assure that they'd be treated the way I treat my own. I have looked after family dogs, friends dogs and others before when they've been away. I enjoy taking days out with the dogs, to the beach or forests. I like to give them good socialising experiences and I understand the importance of this. Their care and welfare is of upmost importance to me. I'm home consistently, and currently I am looking to build a permanent doggy day care business. This will be my weekly routine, and full time earning. I have a Border Terrier and he is allowed the rein of the house. There's a secure back garden, that has a 6ft fence that he regularly runs around and plays in. My house has three large reception rooms so plenty of space for a dog to run and play in. There's an amplitude of toys and treats! They'll also have plenty of room if they need a minute to themselves. There's a designated area for dog beds and blankets for them to have a nap in. I am also a 5 minute walk away from the playing fields, where I often walk my dog.
About: I have taken care of friends and families, neighbours pets for them whilst they are away, or at work. I have a dog of my own and had him since being a puppy and would love to help others out with looking after their pet whilst they are away or at work and unable to. I’m currently studying so I have a lot of free time as well for something I enjoy doing. I am free most days and can also do last minute requests. I have a fenced garden at my house and it’s a rather big open plan home so they would have plenty of space to play and roam around. I am able to adapt and change things if necessary to make you feel more comfortable and confident in looking after your fur baby
About: I’ve grew up with animals since I was born with my first dog poppy. Since then I have owned another 2 dogs my current being Bertie who lives at my parents but is my whole world. I currently live in a farm with over 15 cats who are my family and bring so much joy to my world. I have also owned various other animals . I have pet sitter friends dogs when I was younger as well as taking care of puppies during the day when owners have been at work. I’m reliable hard working and loving and the animal is always my priority. Please get in touch if you would like an animal lover to take care of your dog, cat etc or a dog walk. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. I’m currently off work due to personal circumstances I’m free the majority of the time apart from personal appointments which can be worked around. So I’m available as and when you require me. I can easily take your dog out in the car if needed and the dog is ok with travelling. I can take your dog on local dog walks. I can also house sit if required. I do not offer pet care in my own home due to not having a garden with living in an apartment.

“Hayley was absolutely amazing with our Staffy Lola! She looked after her as her own. After being very nervous about leaving her for the first time overnight, Hayley made me feel so comfortable knowing she was in the best care! She sent lots of photos of Lola to us out on walks and having cuddles 😊 Lola was very happy staying with Hayley & her son. I couldn’t think of a better person to of chosen to look after her. I very highly recommend Hayley to anybody looking for somewhere to leave there pets overnight in a loving family home. Thank you so much Hayley I will definitely be using you again and recommending you to everybody I can.”
“Matthew was caring and conscientious whilst looking after our little dog. The circumstances were less than ideal, the weather was 30 degrees and she unfortunately had an illness which required antibiotics, although she was well in herself by the time we left her, she still needed to finish her course of medication whilst staying with Matthew. Matthew kept me updated and in touch the whole time, and immediately shared any concerns, and acted as necessary. Thank you Matthew”
“I needed to find a new sitter for my little dog as my usual lady is retiring this year. He stayed with Daria yesterday and overnight as a trial and he settled in lovely. I had no worries that he was being well cared for during his stay and got regular updates and videos which was very comforting. I am about to re book for some later dates. 🙂”
“Millie was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She replied to all my messages quickly, and was very thorough to make sure that Maggie's routine wasn't too disrupted and her stay was as comfortable as possible. She was very reassuring of my worries about leaving a crazy puppy with someone new for her first night away from home, and even met up with us beforehand so that Maggie could meet her and see the house before she went to stay overnight. She sent regular updates and pictures throughout the stay, and I could see that she was really settled and having a great time getting lots of walks love and attention! I would definitely recommend Millie, and Mags can't wait until I next go away so that she can go and visit her new best friend❤️”
“Our two dogs loved staying with Sara, they seemed very comfortable from the minute they were introduced and throughout. Sara was great with updating us and we would recommend her services :) thanks again! 🐾”
“Luke and Michelle have been amazing with our bulldog Travis 🧡 we needed Travis looking after overnight at very last minute and they where quick to offer there help, and put our minds at ease. They kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout he’s stay, plenty of walks, loads of play time and made a new friend in Sydney. Thank you so much would definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Kirsty and the whole family were absolutely amazing!!! Dotty didn’t want to leave and they looked after her like she was their own. Amazing service Dotty can’t wait to go back to see her new bestie!”
“Molly is an old lady with a few problems. Natalie was a perfect fit for her from first meeting to collection after her visit. When she was dropped off she immediately abandoned us and made herself at home in Natalie's house. We would highly recommend her as a sitter, particularly as she only takes one dog at a time. Molly we think enjoyed the company of Natalie's own dog too.”
“Bear had the best time with Helena- she catered to all his needs and gave him lots of love and snuggles! Communication was great also and lots of picture updates. Will deffo use again when needed. Thanks Helena x”
About: I work from home so I am available 24/7 to care for your pets. I have a garden for them to run around and chill out in which is secure and can be accessed all day. I am the animal sitter in my friend group so have experience looking after, dogs, cats, rabbits and horses. I work full time but at home and have flexibility with my calendar so I am able to meet your pets needs from walking, attention, feeding them or just giving attention. I can provide different levels of safety depending on your pet and requirements. The house is secure and I have a fenced garden where they can explore at their own pace.
“We're so grateful that we found Maisie to take care of our Molly while we were away for a week. We couldn't have wished for a more beautiful and perfect place for her to stay. We got regularly updated with pictures and videos and it made us happy to see our little lady happy running around and enjoying herself. Thank you ❤️”
“We were a little apprehensive about leaving Charlie with strangers (first time) but we figured it would surely be better than kennels. The communication was good building up to the stay and stayed really good throughout our time away. We were sent pics/vids and it was clear that Charlie was having the best of times! I think the added bonus of another friendly spaniel and a child in the house made her stay even more worthwhile. The family are clearly doggy people and I would highly recommend!”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is not just my experience, but my genuine love and commitment to animal care. Having always had a dog of my own, I understand the unique needs and personalities of each pet. I'm also experienced with cats, and I've looked after the dogs of my friends and family, which has given me exposure to different breeds and temperaments. I’m particularly skilled in providing care for puppies, ensuring they get the attention they need for training and socialization. I also have experience with senior pets, offering the patience and understanding they need in their later years, from administering medication to providing gentle exercise and extra comfort. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I’ll make sure your pets feel loved and well taken care of while you’re away. Pet care fits into my daily/ weekly routine as I have plenty of spare time to help and look after your pets! This is because I’m a uni student but with ample time available When caring for pets in a pet owner's home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions you provide to ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I also make sure to spend quality time with them—whether that’s playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company—so they feel loved and not alone while you're away. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a warm, welcoming space that’s clean, safe, and suited to their needs. I maintain their routine as closely as possible and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Whether it’s making sure a dog gets their favorite toy or a cat has a cozy, quiet spot to relax, I do everything I can to make them feel right at home. In both settings, communication is key—I keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while your pet is in my care.
“Izzy was so kind to accept my booking at such short notice as I had an important personal event to attend. Izzy kept me updated throughout Max's stay. When I went to pick Max up he didn't want to leave as he wanted to stay with his new friends. I thoroughly recommend Izzy and will definitely be using Izzy again to look after Max. Thank you Izzy, Max was crying when he got to the car!”
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, especially dogs and cats. I grew up with an Alsatian and, as soon as I moved into my own home at 18, I adopted my first cat. My husband shares my love of animals, and together we have a home full of furry family members! We have two beautiful cats (both aged 5), our wonderful 14-year-old Jack Russell cross, Rocky, who still thinks he's a puppy, and our affectionate 11-month-old Labrador, Sonny. Despite his size, Sonny is incredibly gentle, friendly and loves both people and other animals. I work part-time for the NHS, which has helped me develop responsibility, reliability and a caring nature. When your pet is with us, they'll be treated as part of the family, with plenty of love, attention and care. My husband is home every other week, so there's often someone around to keep your pet company. We also have two children, aged 13 and 10, who have grown up surrounded by animals. They are kind, gentle and respectful around pets and absolutely love helping to care for them. Over the years I've looked after pets for friends and family, and they've often encouraged me to join Rover because they know how much I enjoy caring for animals. Having trained Sonny from a puppy, I'm also happy to reinforce basic training and routines if you'd like me to. I'm also happy to administer medication (oral or topical) if your pet requires it, as long as I'm given clear instructions. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I'll do everything I can to ensure they feel safe, comfortable and settled while in my care. I know that leaving your pet with someone else can feel daunting, so I'll keep you updated with regular messages, photos and videos, giving you complete peace of mind while you're away. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pet. If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to get in touch! Im currently working part time, usually a Tuesday and a Thursday, however my husband is home alot. I often home work also. I can help most days/weekends. Just message me ☺️ I have a very large garden with lots of doggy toys etc! A large fence and wall. My labrador is very safe in my garden. I also have CCTV outside both front and back. If you need me to visit your home I am extremely tidy, clean and responsible. Safety is my main priority for your furry friend.

“We can’t recommend Hannah & George enough. They were absolutely superb with our two cockapoos Sadie & Sonnie. Their stay was a home away from home. We received regular updates and photos which was great. Hannah was so accommodating to allow us do a late pickup, which we really appreciated. Sadie & Sonnie can’t wait for their next stay 🐾”
