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.

As a dog owner of 2 chihuahuas (one is 10 and the other is 20) I value the importance of how hard it is to find people that click with them and that it's not a rushed process....like people we all have our levels of being socially comfortable around others so i like to let amimals go at their own pace to become buddies with me.&nbsp;
I've grown up and looked after lots of creatures from Lizards, rats, Chinchillas, scorpians and toads...i was proudly the guinea pig catcher at junior school too 
I love all sizes and breeds of dogs but I feel my strength is with smaller dogs and understand the importance of keeping a close eye on them when taking them for walks out and about...the world is a big place for them!

I love taking pictures and giving updates when pet sitting cats and dogs for friends in the past. I enjoy a cuddle with a moggy too and have alot of good energy to share. I'm also a light sleeper so if you needed a house sitter my ears are as keen as a chihuahuas.

Speaking from experience having the reassurance in a pet sitter is something that you never realise you need until it's time to take a trip or spend a long day at work.
Dogs are legends an cats have the magic of calm energy...all creatures are epic! So if you'd like some help and to put your mind at rest let me know how I can help :)


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!

I grew up in the countryside, living in a farm , surrounded by various types of animals. I grew up giving affection and feeding them. Dogs and cats have always been part of my life, but unfortunately when we moved here, we decided not to adopt any due to the difficulty of moving around with them. Today, more settled, I decided to do this type of work to help people who need someone to take care of their beloved pets during a period when they are unable to do so and, at the same time, fill my life with joy  and  satisfaction by being in the presence of these adorable creatures.
During the holidays, these last few years,I have had the pleasure of being able to take care of my son's dogs: an adorable  mini schnauzer ``Luna`` and the cuttiest  maltipoo ``Bella``.
I am avaiable to visit and care for your pet at your home, or if you prefer, your pet can stay in my house(day or Night). I have  a front garden and a back yard  fully fenced. My house is located  in front a   small park , and a big park 100 mts away, where  is allowed the dogs to exercise and play.
For safety reasons I prefer to work just with  breeds of small dogs  and  up-to-date vaccines.
I will care  just one dog at the time, so  he will have all my attention. The exeption will be if the dogs are from the same  owner /siblings.





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;


I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my whole life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve been around a wide variety of pets over the years, so I understand that every animal has their own routine and personality. At home I currently have a pug, a Persian cat and three rabbits, so I’m used to everything from energetic dogs to more relaxed, independent pets.
I’ve recently been travelling for the past six months, and one of the things I’ve missed most is being around animals. Now that I’m back, I’d love to spend time doing something I genuinely enjoy, while giving pet owners peace of mind that their pets are being properly cared for.
I’m calm, reliable, and attentive, and I’ll always treat your pet like they’re my own. For dogs, I’m happy to do 30–60 minute walks depending on their needs, as well as feeding, playtime and keeping them company. For pets at home, I’ll stick closely to their usual routine so they feel as comfortable as possible.
I’m confident looking after multiple pets at once and adjusting to different behaviours, whether that’s a more energetic dog or a quieter, more nervous pet that just needs patience and consistency.
I’ll also send regular updates and photos while you’re away so you can feel reassured everything is going smoothly. I’m happy to care for vaccinated pets and will always prioritise their safety, wellbeing, and happiness. I’m currently available from 25th May to 10th June and can be flexible during this time. I’m also happy to follow specific care instructions, including medication or special diets, and I’ll always stay calm and responsive if anything unexpected comes up.


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.

I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a family that truly loves and rescues animals, and our home was always full of dogs and cats who needed care, patience and kindness.

I currently have two cats of my own, one of whom was rescued from the street and is now a happy, confident little soul. I understand how important it is to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is safe, comfortable and genuinely cared for while you’re away.

I’m calm, attentive and respectful of every pet’s unique personality whether they’re playful, shy, senior, or need a little extra reassurance. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions regarding feeding, medication, routines and playtime.

During each visit, I provide fresh food and water, litter cleaning, enrichment and plenty of gentle interaction. I can also send regular photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

Your pet will be treated with the same level of care, patience and love as my own.

I'm Lucy and the proud owner of 2 loveable pugs, George and Yoko who are 3 years old. I'm offering dog walking and sitting for people in my local area on weekday evenings and weekends.
I work full time during the week on the commercial team of a large, clinical drug research company, so I know how helpful it is when someone can lend dog owners a hand!
