Before you book
- Meet first. A short meet-and-greet shows you how they get on with your pet.
- Check insurance. Professional walkers and sitters should have public liability insurance.
- Ask to see the licence for kennels, catteries and home boarders. Councils licence them and many give a star rating.
- Read recent reviews and ask what happens in an emergency.
Questions
How do I find a good dog walker or pet sitter near me?
Search by your town or postcode, read reviews, meet them before booking, and check they have insurance. Ask how many dogs they walk at once and what happens if they’re ill.
Do kennels and catteries need a licence?
Yes. In England, anyone who boards cats or dogs as a business must hold an animal activity licence from their local council, and many councils give a star rating from 1 to 5. Ask to see the licence before you book.
Why search by postcode rather than county?
Walkers, sitters and groomers usually work within a few miles of home, so a postcode or town finds people who can actually reach you. A county search shows results around its main town.
