“Martin took great care of my dog who had been unwell the week before. It was nice to see photos of Paddy on his walks, and lounging on the sofa. There is often mention of separation anxiety dogs experience. However Martin was sensitive to the fact that my separation anxiety was quite severe. I am blessed for having a dog who can make himself at home on any sofa available. 😀 I highly recommend Martin who has years of experience with dogs.”

She is so lovely and friendly too ❤️ Penny followed all requirements and ensured our home also looked after 👌 ⭐ would fully recommend 😻 xx”
“Caitlin was absolutely brilliant looking after my elderly, grumpy cat Susie! 🐱 She was patient and caring with her, even though Susie definitely isn’t the easiest cat to win over.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Caitlin and would definitely have her look after Susie again. Thank you so much! ❤️”

“I’ve used Keyleigh a few times now to look after my Belgian Malinois puppy, Poppy, and she is amazing. She has been so kind, reliable, and it has been such a relief knowing our dog is in safe hands while we’re not there. They have been so kind, reliable and patient, and it has been such a relief knowing our dog is in safe hands while we’re not there. Our dog can be a little anxious and is still building confidence with being away from us and around other dogs, but they have been incredibly understanding and have taken the time to work with her at her own pace. It’s clear that they genuinely care about the animals they look after, rather than simply seeing it as a job. Communication has always been great, and I really appreciate the updates and reassurance we receive. Knowing Poppy is happy, well cared for and getting plenty of attention makes such a difference. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring and dependable to look after their dog.”
“Lizzie has looked after our 2 cats a few times for us now, and she's great! She provides lots of updates and photos (which helps an anxious cat owner like me) and lets us know if there are any issues. And our 2 girls also get along great with her and seem like they're having fun a great time playing together! Will definitely book Lizzie again - thanks!! 😊”
“Honestly couldn’t recommend Kim enough!! She’s been absolutely amazing with Bonnie and has genuinely gone above and beyond for us 🥹❤️She’s been great with all her regular check ins and I’ve felt so comfortable knowing Bonnie is being looked after by her. She’s honestly so lovely with her and you can tell she genuinely cares. She’s also gone last minute when I’ve needed help, which I’m honestly so grateful for because she really didn’t have to! She’s always been so lovely, helpful and accommodating and nothing has ever felt like too much trouble. I’m so glad I found her and would 100% recommend her to anyone. Bonnie absolutely loves her too which is the main thing 🐾❤️”
“Luke took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. I received photos and updates every day, which gave me peace of mind knowing that my cat was in good hands. Luke is genuinely very kind, caring, and responsible. You can really tell that he loves cats and knows how to take good care of them. My cat was happy and well looked after throughout my time away. I highly recommend Luke to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring person to look after their pet. I would definitely ask him to take care of my cat again! 🐱❤️”

“Tilly had the best day with Emily & Sunny! She has such a great outdoor space for the pups to play in.

Thank you!”
About: Experienced, Loving Family Dog Sitters 🐾 Hello! We're a dog-loving family with a lifetime of experience caring for dogs. Between us, my partner and I have owned and looked after dogs for most of our lives, and caring for them is something we genuinely love. After regularly dog sitting for friends and family, we've decided to open our home to more dogs and their owners. We have two young children, aged 4 and 5, who absolutely adore dogs and have grown up around them. Because of this, the safety and comfort of both our children and any visiting dogs is extremely important to us. We only accept dogs that are comfortable, gentle, and trustworthy around young children, ensuring a safe and happy environment for everyone. One of the biggest benefits we can offer is that both of us work from home full-time. This means your dog will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply having people around, we'll tailor our care to suit their individual personality and needs. We have a small front garden available for quick toilet breaks, and we're also just minutes away from large open fields, parks, and beautiful nature walks. Regular walks and exercise will be provided according to your dog's age, energy levels, and routine. We understand that leaving your dog with someone else can feel daunting, so we'll treat them as if they were our own—providing a safe, loving, and caring home while you're away. We look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! 🐶 Lots of love, attention, walks, and cuddles guaranteed. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. Both my partner and I work from home full-time, so we're able to provide constant supervision, regular toilet breaks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. We regularly care for dogs belonging to friends and family, and we enjoy incorporating walks into our daily schedule. We live just minutes from large fields and nature walks, allowing us to provide exercise tailored to each dog's needs. As a family of dog lovers, spending time with and caring for dogs is something we genuinely enjoy, so any dogs staying with us become part of our everyday family life while they're in our care. We care for every dog as if they were our own and always aim to keep them as comfortable and settled as possible by following their usual routine. Before any stay, we'll discuss your dog's feeding schedule, exercise requirements, sleeping arrangements, medications, and any special needs to ensure continuity of care. In our home, dogs will have plenty of companionship throughout the day as both of us work from home full-time. They'll receive regular toilet breaks, walks tailored to their energy levels and needs, playtime, affection, and a safe, family environment. We have a small yard for quick toilet breaks and are just minutes away from large fields and nature walks for longer exercise sessions. We only accept dogs that are comfortable around young children, as we have two children aged 4 and 5 who have grown up around dogs and love interacting with them. If caring for a pet in the owner's home, we would follow all instructions provided, maintaining the dog's normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication if required, and ensuring they receive plenty of attention and care while their owners are away. Throughout any booking, we are happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind, so owners can see that their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“brilliant personalised care for my beautiful boy. 100% understanding of him and his needs. Lots of lovely pics of him having the time of his life. Very compassionate and caring people who clearly love their charges as much as we owners do. He can't wait to go back!”
About: My husband and I have looked after dogs for a number of years. These have varied, from puppies to adults, small to large, as well as high energy, confident to more nervous rescue dogs. What their stay looks like, is shaped around the needs of the dogs, their current routines, enrichment activities, exciting walks and any specific requests from their owners. We are passionate about creating an environment where a dog can thrive and develop in a home away from home. We have our own gorgeous pooch called Bonnie. She is very relaxed around other dogs, as she has socialised with dogs both inside and outside the home since we adopted her in 2024. She's very independent and calm in the house, but loves to explore with her fellow dogs when out and about on a walk. We also volunteer at a dog shelter, where we walk, train and lead enrichment activities with Romanian Rescue dogs. Through this experience working with a brilliant dog trainer and head of the charity, we understand that every dog is totally different, therefore, their care plan and routine need to reflect as much and be tailored to their personalities. As a result, we are confident with rescue dogs or those who are anxious and less confident. We typically take the dogs out for a morning walk, which will be roughly an hour. I work full time from home, which allows me to be home all day with the dogs. We will then have a shorter second walk, with playtime and enrichment thrown in! We have a fenced garden, as well as a field two minutes from our house, where dogs have plenty of space to run and play as they wish!
“Brilliant sitter. Jake and his girlfriend took great care of my boys and gave me updates throughout the day. It was a last minute booking as my friend cancelled on me, so I was very grateful when Jake came to the rescue. Thank you!”
“Steve was the perfect dog sitter, friendly and flexible. Otis had an amazing day with him involving lots of walks and playtime. He was a very happy puppy come home time. Would definitely recommend, thank you.”
“Pearl is a great dog sitter. She has a true passion and love for dogs. My 6 year old pug had a nice time staying with Pearl and her puppy. She looked after him well and kept me posted with texts and pics throughout the day. Would recommend her to everyone who is looking for a good care for their furry baby.”
“Mark and Helen were absolutely fantastic with our four month old puppy. He loved being at their house for the day and was exhausted afterwards as he’d had so much fun! Very happy that we found them - they really care for the dogs they’re looking after and we are completely confident leaving our dog with them. Brilliant and couldn’t recommend more!”
“First time leaving our dog, and Sofia made it a very pleasant experience. She sent us regular updates throughout out the day and went the extra mile in feeding Shiloh. Would definitely recommend her services and would rebook with her again. Thank you Sofia.”
About: I’ve looked after dogs since I was little and gone on hired dog walks as I always wanted a dog of my own! I now have a nearly 4 year old border collie and have plenty of experience with dogs. She is trained to do all sort of fun tricks (even buttons) and just simply love being around dogs - whether that’s for a down time cuddle or for playing around outside. Happy to take dogs as grouped walk with my own pooch or if they prefer without company too! I’m currently working on a project that will be from home most of the time, so there will be plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, long walks, lots of cuddles and play time! I have a long fenced garden, not along any big roads. Not only this but a gentle border collie who loves to play, will happily share toys and treats and simply loves making friends!
“Jennifer was amazing! She took my dog out for a swim, which he absolutely loved, and spent lots of time playing with him. I really appreciated all the pictures and video she sent, they were wonderful to receive and showed how much fun he was having. I couldn't be happier with the care she provided especially since it was so last minute!”
“Sarah was lovely and looked after reggie really well. I had updates all throughout the day and Reggie was tired from playing so much when I picked him up. Really trustworthy, kind I would 100% recommend and will be using Sarah again if needs be x”
About: I've grown up with cats and dogs my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a friendly Labrador who is well socialised and used to being around both dogs and cats. Outside of pet care, I organise an annual dog show with the charity Friends of Middleton Park and, this year, I'm also organising a free community dog show for the Belle Isle Gala in partnership with Belle Isle Tenant Management Organisation. I have animal first aid experience and access to veterinary advice and emergency support 24 hours a day, giving you added peace of mind while your pet is in my care. I have my own transport and, at weekends, weather permitting, your dog may enjoy trips to local parks and beauty spots for extra enrichment and exercise. Of course, you'll receive plenty of photos, updates, and messages throughout their stay so you can see just how much fun they're having. When your pet stays with me, they will be treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home environment where your pet's wellbeing is my top priority. I work from home, which means your pet will have plenty of company, supervision, and attention throughout the day. Pets are never left alone for more than two hours, and in most cases are with me almost all of the time. Before the booking, we'll discuss your pet's routine, preferences, dietary requirements, and any special needs to help them settle in as comfortably as possible. During their stay, your pet will receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I will stick as closely as possible to their normal routine to help them feel at home. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can see how your pet is getting on and enjoy peace of mind while you're away. I also have animal first aid experience and access to 24/7 veterinary support should any concerns arise. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priority. I have a fully fenced garden, giving dogs a secure outdoor space for exercise, play, and toilet breaks. Inside the home, pets are never left without companionship, as I have other friendly pets to keep them company when I’m out. I also use multiple water fountains and automatic feeders, which are monitored and will alert me when levels are low. This means fresh water is always available and feeding routines are followed on schedule, even when I’m not at home for short periods. When out on walks, dogs are always kept on a lead for safety. If appropriate and with owner permission, I also use extendable leads so they can enjoy extra freedom to explore while still remaining secure and under control. As I work from home, pets are supervised for most of the day and are never left alone for more than 2 hours. I maintain a calm, safe environment and follow each pet’s usual routine closely to help them feel settled and secure. Regular updates and photos are provided so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for throughout their stay.

About: I've taken care of a variety of dogs since I was younger such as labradors, cockapoos and staffies. They have ranged from puppies to more senior dogs. I have watched them overnight, to pop in visits and walking up to 4 at a time. I am a part-time worker with a schedule that works around me and my other commitments so therefore I am available at your convenience. I am skilled in how to keep pets happy and will give them 100% of my time and effort with no distractions. I will make sure I am aware of how to gain your pets trust and its likes/dislikes.
“This was Darcy’s first walker and Nova was great with her, and putting her at ease. We got regular updates from Nova and photos which really helped. We will definitely be using Nova again!”
About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals, with most of my hands-on work involving dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, and fish. I’ve also spent time caring for or working around animals like horses, pigs, sheep, birds (including chickens, quail, ducks, geese, budgies, parrots, owls, and pigeons), reptiles (corn snakes and geckos), and even tarantulas. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and needs, including those with medical or behavioural challenges, as long as I have clear guidance on their routines. My experience includes: • Administering medication to both cats and dogs, including insulin injections for diabetic dogs • Following any strict dietary and exercise routines prescribed. • Caring for a large rescue Alaskan Malamute with behavioural issues. • Bathing and grooming various dogs and cats when needed. • Knowledge and experience using positive reinforcement training principles (so can support your pet’s routine and any training goals with consistency and understanding) What sets me apart is my MSc in Animal Behaviour, which gives me a solid foundation in animal psychology, body language, and wellbeing. I’m calm, observant, and always attuned to each animal’s unique personality and comfort. I’m open to working with any species and will always be upfront about my experience. I’ll only take on a job if I’m confident I can give your pet the highest standard of care. I also have some photography and videography experience through working as a content creator, so if you would like regular updates sent i can also include clear, cute photos and videos of your pets too if you are happy with that! I currently work part-time and mostly from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m happy to help with early mornings, late evenings, or anything in between. Just let me know your pet’s routine and specific needs and I’ll always do my best to accommodate. I prioritise each pet’s comfort and care over taking on too many jobs. If I’ve committed to being available at a certain time for your pet, you can trust that I’ll remain available and focused during that time. I’m happy to care for pets either in your home or mine, depending on what works best for your pet’s comfort and routine. I live with two other adults in a two-bedroom house with a private, fenced garden. The fencing is currently 4ft high, so garden access will be carefully managed based on your pet’s size, behaviour, and needs. Pets in my care will always be supervised when in the garden, and I’m happy to follow your preferences for on or off lead time. Indoors, pets can enjoy a calm, cosy environment with access to the house depending on their needs and personality. I also live near lovely walking routes for regular outdoor enrichment. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priority, and I’ll always do my best to match their usual routines and provide a safe, nurturing environment.
About: I've always had a genuine love for dogs and believe they deserve to be treated like part of the family. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I'm patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog's individual needs, whether they love long walks, playing, or simply having company and cuddles. I'll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away, keeping to their usual routine as much as possible. I know leaving your dog with someone new can be worrying, so I'll always provide the same love, care, and attention that I'd want for my own pet. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your dog is in kind, capable hands and having a wonderful time. Alongside working part-time as a hairdresser, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the dogs in my care. This means I can provide regular walks, playtime, companionship, and ensure your dog gets the love and care they deserve without ever feeling rushed. At the moment, I'm offering dog walking and drop-in visits. As I have a dog of my own at home, I'm unable to provide boarding or doggy day care right now.
About: My sister and I would always feed, brush, make sure our cat was happy, she lived to 16! Last summer I went to camp America and looked after the horses and farm animals, doing everything from mucking out to feeding to walking them round the arena.

I also do some extra curricular things like dance and climbing but they are quite flexible:) Making sure they have enough water, fed when there meal times are, taken on regular walks, toilet breaks, given attention and love🧡 for dog sitting- making sure to follow instructions of the owner as all homes will be different with the dog having different needs.

About: £30 first booking with code KELLYT04221 I have a Labrador who I have trained and loved for 7 years. Dog and cat sit for my whole family. Want to give something back to those that need help. I understand how hard it is to find reliable sitters, day care, walkers or just someone to let them out during the day. I am a registered nurse who works shifts so I have different days off a week so I can be flexible to offer service. I don’t work weekends I have a secure garden with a very well behaved Labrador who has been exposed to many different breeds at daycare herself so I can offer a safe loving environment.
About: We have both grown up having our own pets, having a variety of different animals, including multiple dogs and cats that we have fed, walked, bathed etc. We have looked after other peoples dogs, cats and other animals previously as well. This has given us lots of experience: we have looked after puppies, seniors, animals that have needed medication or other special treatments. We both have part-time work however with enough notice we can choose our hours to schedule around yours. We have different schedules so one of us is usually free if not both of us. If you do have a preference of which one of us visits your pet that’s fine as well just let us know, as we understand some animals have a preferred gender. We live in an apartment building but it there still has enough room for a small-medium sized dog if they can be quiet or any sized cat. The apartments are gated off with a little garden area on the property. And they is a big park next to my building for walks as well. We don’t mind looking after your pet at your own home to allow them to feel more comfortable in their environment as well. We will try cater to your dogs or cats needs as much as possible if you have any specific requests.
About: Pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My family has a lovable 11-year-old Labrador whom I helped train from puppyhood — from basic commands to good leash manners. We also shared 18 wonderful years with a gentle British Shorthair cat, so I understand the unique needs of both dogs and cats at every life stage. Whether it’s energetic playtime, patient training, or quiet cuddles, I treat every pet like my own. Your furry family member will get the same love, attention, and care I’ve given my own for decades. Because I work from home, your pet gets my full attention all day. I can easily fit in frequent potty breaks, play sessions, and walks, and I’m always around for company and cuddles. My flexible schedule means I can stick closely to your pet’s routine — whether that’s early morning walks, midday training, or late-night check-ins. Having pets around while I work makes my day better, and I love giving them the same care, patience, and companionship I’ve given my own over the years Whether your pet is staying at my place or I’m visiting yours, they’ll get the same love, attention, and comfort they’re used to. In my home, I make sure there’s plenty of space to play, cozy spots for naps, and a safe, calm environment. I stick to your pet’s routine for feeding, walks, and playtime so they feel secure and happy. When I care for pets in their own home, I keep things consistent — from their favorite walk routes to the way they like their food prepared. My goal is to make every visit or stay feel like home, so your furry friend stays relaxed, loved, and well-cared for.
About: I had my greyhound, Poppy, for ten years. Losing her recently was genuinely one of the hardest things, and if you know, you know. So yes, part of why I'm here is because I miss having a dog around. But mostly it's because I genuinely love them, I understand them, and I know exactly what it feels like to hand your dog over to someone and hope they actually care. I've looked after dogs of all sizes for family and friends over the years, big breeds and small ones, and I treat every single one the way I treated Poppy. Like they matter. Because they do. What you can expect from me: Regular updates and photos so you're never left wondering A calm, relaxed environment, no chaos Plenty of attention, walks, and fuss Someone who actually gets how much your dog means to you. Greyhounds taught me patience and gentleness. Ten years of that stays with you. Your dog is in safe hands. Available weekends for all types of sitting! I work full time and I’m self employed so sometimes I am available mid week! So feel free to message if availability isn’t showing. Your dog gets treated exactly how I treated mine for ten years. Fed on time, walked properly, never left for too long, and given actual attention rather than just being in the background. I know greyhounds, so I understand that different dogs need different things. Some need calm. Some need stimulation. I read the dog in front of me as well as the checklist. You'll get updates throughout the day so you're never sat wondering. Photos, messages, whatever keeps your mind at ease. Your home or mine, the standard stays the same.

“Martin took great care of my dog who had been unwell the week before. It was nice to see photos of Paddy on his walks, and lounging on the sofa. There is often mention of separation anxiety dogs experience. However Martin was sensitive to the fact that my separation anxiety was quite severe. I am blessed for having a dog who can make himself at home on any sofa available. 😀 I highly recommend Martin who has years of experience with dogs.”
