Over the years have had a variety of pets. Often look after friends pets when they are away.I have experience with difficult pets & also nervous pets due to mine all being rescues that had a bad startCurrently have 1 dog that had a bad start having 4 homes in 9 months plus 3 cats. My oldest cat was 2 weeks old & had been abandoned in a bin. Vets didn't think she'd survive. Had to syringe feed her, shes now 15 & boss of the house. My 3rd cat was ill treated & living on the streets 3 litters of kittens before she was 2. She is a very nervous cat who has took me 3 years to get her to a good weight, healthy and off anti stress medication, even likes meeting new people now.I also have turtles, tropical & goldfish. Plus i've previously had mice, hamsters, rabbits & birds. So have good experience with a wide range of pets.I offer pet sitting in their own homes & can provide 1, 2 or 3 visits a day to play, feed, give medication if required & will also give dogs a 30 min walk plus clean cat containers & cages.I will also open, close curtains, pick mail up, turn lights on/off to make it look like someone is home.I can also do dog walks of 30 min, 1 hr or any length above that you wish.

Hi there!

I’m Katie, a mum of two, lifelong kid and animal lover with 14.5 years of experience caring for my own dog, who sadly passed away a year ago. Losing her was really hard, but it also reminded me how much joy dogs bring to my life.

I truly understand the love, patience, and consistency dogs need to feel safe and happy. From daily walks to playtime and cuddles, I’ll make sure your furry friend is well cared for and treated like part of the family.

I’m really excited about dog sitting—it gives me the chance to spend time with dogs of all personalities and energy levels, while continuing to share the love I have for these amazing companions.

Right now, I don’t have any furry friends at home, so I can give my full attention and care to your pet.

I’ll treat your pup with kindness, attention, and lots of care—just as I did with my own .

Let’s be best furry friends!

About my services: 
I currently offer House Sitting (stay at your home) on weekends and during school holidays only. I’m happy to discuss timings to find something that works for both of us 

Dog Walking and Home Visit are also available within 2 miles.

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 there! I'm Jet, a student currently studying at Loughborough University. Since moving away from home, I have really missed spending time with my beloved guinea pigs and walking Penny, a lovely little dog who I have walked on and off for the last 8 years. I would love the opportunity to spend more time with some furry friends, and give them the best possible care when you're not around.&nbsp;
With many animals in my extended family, I grew up with a deep love for animals. I have experience with small animal care (guinea pigs and hamsters), cat- and dog-sitting, and with walking, feeding and grooming dogs (from Jack Russels to Labradors). When going on dog walks with Penny, she can be difficult around other dogs, so I have learnt to keep her on the lead or close to me when other dogs approach, and offer her praise for remaining calm when interacting with other dogs. Going on dog walks with my cousin's labrador at a fairly young age taught me the importance of keeping calm when your dog gets agitated, and knowing what your limits are (as an 8 year old, I wasn't quite strong enough to walk Polly by myself, much to my disappointment, but I completely understand why).
I'm a kind, caring and patient person who always has the animals' (and their owners') best interest at heart. I hope to offer my care and support to you, and I would love to meet you and your furry friends soon.


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. 

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;


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 :)
