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 There,

I've adored cats and dogs ever since I was a little girl, and growing up surrounded by animals helped shape the patient, gentle, and attentive sitter I am today. After moving to the UK, I’ve been missing my own pets, Mickey and Milo, so I've decided to open my heart and home to other furry friends here. Spending time with animals here truly brings me joy and comfort.

I’m currently a postgraduate student, which gives me plenty of flexible free time to focus on your pet’s needs—whether that’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness and safety will always be my top priorities.

My husband and I live in a comfortable house with a secure backyard, perfect for fresh-air breaks, exploring, or relaxing in the sunshine. I’m dedicated to creating a calm, fun, and loving environment where every pet feels welcomed, understood, and cared for like family.



Hello my names Courtney, I have a passion for animals and I'm experienced with dogs and cats as I have 1 dog and 1 cat I will treat your furry baby like my own and make them feel loved and safe in my care I am understanding and helpful my services will be dog walking, pet sitting in your house I handle situations calmly so I don't stress the pet out 
my motivation to do this is my love for animals and helping people out when you need to work or go somewhere for a day with family or friends 
My experience with animals has always been positive and I'm confident the services you can find I do will be dog walking pet sitting for your dogs or cats what you can expect from me when I'm in your home is privacy I will focus on your pet only my daily routine would be feeding your pets at the correct times for your pets and would be slowly letting them get use to me and rushing nothing my approach to dog walking will be to slowly get into it and pet sitting just making sure the pet is comfortable for safety and supervision it will on high alert as I will want to make sure your pets is happy and safe 
How I would care for different pets is with dogs they will want more love and affection whereas cats will want to do their own thing safety steps I will take is if anything worrying happens I will call their carer straight away my daily routine would be to feed walk or play with your dog or give your cat some love if your house needs cleaning
 I would be more than happy to do that my approach to dog walking is taking our time getting to know how we are and where we're walking to special skills for me would just be my experience with animals my walks would be 30 minutes to an hour
I would handle all personalities from the pets in a good way and get myself use to their personalities and how they work if you wanted your pet washing I would attempt to just to help the pets owner if your pet has special needs I would need a specific list of how to help your pet to make them feel comfortable and have extra care if needed I am good with any personality of a pet I would just need to know if they would be aggressive so I can take the best way to make sure me and your pet are safe and comfortable 
I've looked after family members pets and that came out positive I've cared for pets since I was around 3 I'm more comfortable with cats and dogs as I know how to handle them I don't have any certificates..

"I offer customized care for each pet, considering their unique needs and routines. My daily schedule involves regular walks, feeding, playtime, and administering medication if needed. I always ensure a safe environment, with secure indoor and outdoor spaces, and I'm trained in basic pet first aid. 
I handle emergencies calmly and have experience with various breeds and temperaments, ensuring a comfortable stay for every pet. With a passion for animals, I give them the love and attention they deserve.
I have positive experiences with animals as I've had many pets through my life I've had a cocker spaniel who is 7, I now own a black and white cat who is nearly 2 and a French bulldog who is 5 they've always felt safe and I've played with them and gave them some love the services I'll do is dog walking, and pet sitting in your own home so they are comfortable with the place they are at. 
what you can expect from me when I'm with your pet is pure love and you can trust me to make sure they are happy my daily routine in a more worded way would be to make sure that your pet is happy and healthy fed in the morning had their walk or if it's a cat make sure they have had some love and I've put some food out. 
How I would respond to emergencies if it was ever to happen is to keep calm call the owners and do whatever they advise me to do to make sure I protect your pet my skills I have would be I am calm around nervous animals and let them get use to a new person who is looking after them. My experience with dogs who needed medications is little but my dogs have had to have medication for a variety of things so I'm confident I can make sure they get the right medication 

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 :)
