Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter.&nbsp;

I am a lifelong animal owner and lover. Particularly dogs and cats. I appreciate that dog and cat pawrents have life commitments and holidays which can't always include our four legged companions and I want to offer my time to help and reassure you whilst you are away. I have cared for friends pets before, and happy to care for animals in any way I can (and understand the not so glam parts of being an animal owner too ).&nbsp;
I currently own a cocker spaniel, but care for my parents Weimaraner X GSP and cats when they are away. I don't currently own a cat due to where I live not being suitable, but I have owned them in the past.
The animal welfare act 2006 will always be adhered to with any animal in my care. I am DBS checked and hold a full clean driving licence with access to my own vehicle.
On my visits, cuddles and photo updates are guaranteed! If you think me and your pet could be a match, please get in touch. I can offer early morning, evenings after 4pm and weekend visits.


Hi! I’m currently studying Dance Movement Psychotherapy at the University of Derby, which might sound a bit unusual for pet sitting but it means I’m trained to understand emotions and body language beyond words.
I’ve always been surrounded by animals. I used to have three dogs and two cats, I also have experience caring for rabbits, turtles, ferrets, and parrots (my mum has two!), which has made me comfortable adapting to different temperaments and care needs.
Since moving to the UK, I’ve really missed my pets, which is one of the reasons I’m so drawn to pet sitting. Being around animals brings me comfort, and I genuinely enjoy building trust with them.
In terms of daily care, I tailor everything to your pet. For dogs, I usually offer 30–60 minute walks depending on their energy level, along with playtime and companionship at home. For cats and smaller animals, I focus on maintaining their routine and gentle interaction. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, water intake, cleanliness, and overall wellbeing.
When it comes to behaviour, I approach pets with patience and understanding. If a pet shows signs of anxiety, overexcitement, I focus on creating a safe and predictable environment rather than forcing interaction. I use gentle redirection and calm presence to support them in settling. I respect each animal’s boundaries while also maintaining clear structure.
I am comfortable administering basic medication (such as oral medication if clearly instructed), and I always follow the owner’s guidance carefully. I provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can feel reassured while you’re away. If any unexpected situation arises, I stay calm, observe carefully, and contact you promptly while taking appropriate action to ensure your pet’s safety.
Through my volunteering experience, I’ve developed strong responsibility, patience, and reliability. I only accept vaccinated pets and always maintain a clean, safe, and peaceful environment.
I understand how important your pet is to you, and I will treat them with warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care just like they’re my own. 

From as far back as I can remember, animals—especially dogs—have held a special place in my heart. Their loyalty, joy, and unique personalities inspire me every day. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do; it’s something I genuinely love. Whether it’s going on long, energetic walks or offering calm, comforting companionship, I’m dedicated to making every pet feel safe, happy, and understood.Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and my love for dogs runs especially deep. I’ve grown up surrounded by pets, and over the years I’ve learned just how important trust, patience, and compassion are when caring for them. Being able to spend my time walking, playing with, and looking after dogs isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I truly enjoy and feel passionate about.

I treat every dog as if they were my own, paying attention to their needs, routines, and quirks. From playful pups to gentle seniors, I enjoy building trust and creating a bond that makes them feel comfortable and excited to see me. My passion for animals drives me to provide dependable, loving care—something both pets and their owners can count on.

With me, your dog will always be in caring, capable hands.
I normally walk dogs for however long you and your dog would like to be walked they vary from £15 an hour.

With years of experience in dog daycares, grooming salons, and kennels, I’ve honed my ability to handle animals of all temperaments, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I’ve spent my life surrounded by pets of all shapes and sizes, from large and small dog breeds to cats, bearded dragons, tortoises, and guinea pigs. Alongside my practical experience, I’ve completed studies in Animal Science, Management, and Behaviour, giving me a well-rounded understanding of pets’ physical and emotional needs.
Running my own pet care business, KTM Pets, for over a year has further enhanced my hands-on skills and deepened my passion for providing personalised, attentive care. I’m qualified in Pet First Aid and Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Business, and I always stay up to date with the latest advancements in pet care to offer the very best for your furry, scaly, or feathered companions. Fully licensed, DBS-checked, and committed to providing safe, loving, and reliable care, I cater to all pets—whether it’s a walk, an overnight stay, or assistance with special needs like administering medication.
Your pets will be in expert hands, and I look forward to offering them the same level of care and attention as if they were my own!

Hi! I'm rom Malaysia and I'm currently working in the UK. I grew up with dogs since childhood. Previously had 2 german shepherds, 2 dalmations and currently, we have 5 mongrels. Recently our dogs had a litter of 6 puppies, we took care of them till 3 months old and gave 3 of them away. I have grown to appreciate dogs over time, especially after nurturing our litter of puppies from birth. Seeing them grow up from the size of my palm to the height of my waist, is simply priceless. I have some basic experience in training dogs, managed to train some of my dogs to sit, stay, lie down, stand up, shake hand. I enjoy walking dogs, running them and playing with them. Back in Malaysia, where my dogs are, I would play tug of war and chase with them. We love just about any dog, it's always fun to spend time with them.
My schedule is flexible and can accommodate morning, afternoon and evening visits. As a student, I am always free on the weekends for walks, visit, boarding, etc.
Depending on the dog's personality and needs, I cuddle them, give them attention, or simply leave them alone. If they are the active type, playing toys with them or taking them for a walk is how I would care for them.
The services I provide are Dog Walking, Home visits and House Sitting (where I stay in pet owner's house). My dog walks can range from 30 minutes up to 2 hours depending on your request. During House Sitting I can do as many dog walks as you wish per day. I can supervise pets 24/7, but I trust that you will be reasonable with me leaving the house when necessary.&nbsp;
I do not do Home Dog Boarding or Doggy Daycare due to my flat not being suitable for it.&nbsp;
My services do not grooming.&nbsp;


Caring and Experienced Cat Sitter
I am a dedicated and caring cat lover with over five years of experience raising my own cats. Cats have always been my favorite animals because of their unique personalities, independence, and gentle nature. Taking care of them brings me genuine happiness and fulfillment.

In addition to caring for my own cats, I have also helped friends look after their cats when they were away. My responsibilities included feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playing with them, and making sure they felt safe and comfortable in their home environment. I understand that every cat has a different personality—some are playful and energetic, while others are shy and need patience and gentle attention. I always respect their space and adjust my care according to their needs.

When I was younger, I also had experience raising a dog, which helped me develop a strong sense of responsibility in caring for animals. However, cats have always held a special place in my heart.

I am responsible, patient, and attentive, and I will treat your cat as if it were my own. I will update owners the pets condition by sending photos to them. My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved and well cared for while you are away, so you can have peace of mind.

IMPORTANT NOTE: at present we are not offering services due to childcare. 
We are a couple offering dog/animal boarding from our home. We have 16 years of personal experience with dogs, ferrets, rats &amp; hamsters. We have looked after dogs of all sizes and temperaments. We do not have children in the home, it is just me &amp; my partner.
We offer what we'd want for our own dogs if they were being boarded; a safe, secure, caring &amp; loving home where your pet will be treated as if they are our own. We have a large sized dog bed (that is orthopaedic memory foam) in our kitchen where your dog can sleep. We are happy to allow dogs on our sofa, but if you do not wish for this we can set boundaries on this to ensure we teach your dog no bad habits!
We both still work full time outside of dog boarding &amp; doggy daycare, so we cannot guarantee that we will be in all day every day Monday - Thursday, which is why we do not offer our services then. But we are in the house Friday, Saturday &amp; Sunday. With boarding we offer at least an hour walk per day to ensure your pet gets out for some decent exercise each day. We board no more than 3 small to medium sized dogs and no more than 2 medium to large sized dogs (excluding our own 2).&nbsp;
Doggy day care - we can only offer this Friday - Sunday at present, as these are the days we are available outside of work. This means we can give your dog(s) our full attention that they deserve! With doggy daycare we include one walk if we have your dog for more than 4 hours. The walk will last at least 30 minutes, but we can walk for a shorter amount of time if your dog is not capable of this length of walk. For day care we take on no more than 3 dogs (excluding our own 2).&nbsp;
For dog boarding if you want us to have your pet BEFORE 6pm, then you must also book a doggy daycare slot. If you are picking your dog up AFTER 9am you must also book a doggy daycare slot to cover us looking after your dog. Doggy daycare - between 9am and 6pm. Dog boarding - from 6pm until 9am.Please be mindful before booking that we do have two of our own dogs, so your dogs must get on with other dogs.
We are happy to meet your pets needs and our two dogs LOVE company! We have a very spacious &amp; secure garden that the dogs can run around and have fun in.
Our garden is part patio and part natural grass. There are high fences and the gates are secured to ensure you pet can’t get out. We also live near some lovely parks &amp; nature reserves to take your dog to for exercise.
We will meet all your needs to ensure your pet gets the utmost care &amp; attention they deserve to ensure your peace of mind.
Our dogs eat a dry diet, but we are happy to cater to other dietary needs, including BARF, raw, tinned &amp; frozen foods.
We are fully insured for pet boarding, doggy daycare and dog walking.&nbsp;
We have plenty of spaces in our house for your pet to relax if need be.
If your pet has specific preferences on toys/blankets/treats please let us know and we will cater to this. We are happy to take their blankets to help them have a part of their home with them to help them relax in our home.
If you have any questions please get in touch &amp; we will be happy to help where we can :)
