Cat Sitting in West Somerset

“Lingfan was brilliant with Evie. She can be a nervous cat around new people, but she took to Lingfan immediately, judging by the videos. She sent daily pictures and videos which helped put my mind at rest that Evie was well and very well looked after. I would definitely ask Lingfan to look after Evie again and would recommend her to anyone else looking for a cat sitter.”

She accommodated an emergency booking at a very short notice due to having a last minute flight cancellation. Communication was great and followed instructions to care without any concerns. My pets were relaxed and happy when I came back home. Thank you Melissa for all your work.”

About: I have always had a soft spot for animals, and anytime family friends needed help with their pets I was always the first to help. Meaning I have plenty of experience in different ages/ different breeds of dogs and cats. I have a dog of my own, my gorgeous pug called coco which means I have experience in crate training and potty training and I’ll be more than happy to take on any aged dog when looking after your pet!🙂 I currently work for an agency, meaning I pick and choose my hours that I work. This means that I will be very flexible with my services and can do boarding every night of the week currently🙂 Moreover, with my free time it will mean I can ensure long walks and loads of loving and company for your pet I have a patient and very loving pug called coco who will be there to keep your dog company, if your dog doesn’t get along with other dogs let me know beforehand🙂 I have a nice sized garden and live in a small village called never Stowey which is about a 5 minute walk away from the Quantock lakes which will ensure your dog lets out all there needed energy🙂

“I can speak very highly of Neil's exceptional care for dogs. He is very careful of the beloved pets that he takes care of. With genuine affection and unwavering dedication, he treats dogs as if they were his own. His extensive experience and deep understanding of canine behaviour ensures that all furry friends receive the utmost attention, affection, and tailored care. Neil goes above and beyond to meet every need of the dogs under his supervision, from meticulously following feeding and exercise routines to providing a nurturing and comfortable environment for rest. His commitment to the well-being and happiness of each dog shines through in every interaction. Not only does Neil excel in the basics of dog care, but he also demonstrates an intuitive understanding of each dog's personality, quirks, and preferences. This personalized approach made a significant difference in each dog's experience and can leave owners with complete peace of mind whenever they have to be away. I wholeheartedly recommend Neil to anyone seeking compassionate, reliable, and skilled care for their furry companions. He is truly exceptional in every aspect of dog caregiving.”

“I have known Jack for many years, he looks after my Jack Russell many years back for me during the day while I was at work my dog loved Jack more than me. More recently I rehomed a working cocker spaniel who was very nervous and submissive. I went in to hospital for a few days and Jack come to the rescue for me and looked after the dog while I was away. When I got back it was like it was a different dog. Stopped weeing with excitement etc. Jack even did the washing up for me while house sitting. Highly recommended.”

“Joinna demonstrates an extraordinary affection and understanding towards animals that is rare and admirable. She is the only person I would ever trust to travel with my dog from Philippines to the UK, bearing in mind she has never met my dog (who suffers from anxiety from meeting strangers) and they became inseparable in no time. A task no ordinary person could do. Joinna possesses a natural ability to connect with pets, showing patience, empathy, and love in every interaction. Whether it's calmly soothing a nervous puppy or playfully engaging with an energetic kitten, Joinna's approach is always kind and considerate. Her knowledge about animal behaviour and care is extensive and her commitment to animal welfare extends beyond their immediate surroundings. This is not just with her pets, she is always eager to learn more to provide the best possible environment for other furry friends even completing a course in animal care. She has been actively involved in local animal shelters and has recently participated in charity fundraisers for animals in the Philippines. Her dedication to these causes speaks volumes about her genuine love and respect for animals. In summary, Joinna is not just a pet lover but a true advocate for animal wellbeing. Any pet would be fortunate to have Joinna in their life, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate companion for their pets.”

About: Hello there! I’m Frances, I am a friendly, experienced, mature and professional lady who loves and care for animals and always very sensitive to their needs! My experience is in taking care of: - Dogs, (young, old, playful, anxious, nervous, with lock down anxiety and who may be stubborn) - Cats of all ages and mischief - A variety of house plants, gardens & veggie patches. I am an experience trusted house and pet sitter and have been working both in the South West UK and internationally over the past 3 years. Over this time I have taken care of many adorable dogs and cats both in Australia and the UK. I have recently returned to the UK to live after living 20 years in Australia. I have chosen to continue house and pet sit as I love caring for animals and enjoy getting to know each and every one, treating them like my own. In addition I love to meet new people and explore new areas. I would dearly love to house and pet sit for you as I would offer your pets so much love, lots of cuddles, follow their daily routine, give lots of walks and play time and keep them safe. I will also take excellent care of your home and utilities including basic gardening including watering plants, mowing the lawn and weeding. I am interested in house sitting in the Somerset/ South West area of UK as this is where my family live and am available for sits of longer in duration from weeks to months. I am also available for weekend and midweek sits too. At previous housesits I have taken care of both dogs and cats in Wincanton, Exmouth, Bishops Lydeard and Glastonbury, Bristol, Somerset and Melbourne and surrounding areas. I am a qualified Art Therapist, Illustrator and Reiki Master and at one of my housesits I took care of two elderly siamese cats and as I was able to provide soothing energy healing to the cats which they loved!! As a keen walker, artist and photographer I will regularly send you photo updates of your adorable pets whilst you are away. Previously I have also worked as a live-in Nanny in America, I have supported children and adults with Art Therapy, have been a successful textile and carpet designer, along with loving working as a lecturer in Textile Design at University. I currently work as a self-employed therapist and illustrator so I am flexible with times and dates for bookings. This also means we can be adaptable to your pet’s daily activity. It would be wonderful to chat with you on line or by phone, to organise a ‘Meet and Greet’ to introduce myself to your pet whilst in your company which will enable them to get to know me. Then, consequently when the planned sit comes around they will be able to feel relaxed and at ease in my company. I can provide excellent references and testimonials on request. I look forward to hearing from you soon and am happy to answer any questions. For housesits, to ease the process I would like to know please: An overview of your pets general behaviour and habits, for example are they: Friendly with other dogs, animals? What’s their routine? Food they eat daily? Are they allowed on the furniture or restricted to certain areas in the house? Do your dogs walk off or on the lead? What makes them happy? How would they notify me that they need to go to the toilet? How long can they be left alone for? Are they an outside or inside cat? Their personality? It is important for me to know if they have any specific traits or issues, or Do they have any medical conditions and need medication? I also welcome discussing these with me prior to meeting either via message or over the phone. Can my clients to please write this necessary information as a note for me to have during the housesit. This will include for example your pets daily routines, their feeding amount and times and an emergency contact and vet details. Please see below a few of my 5 star review on my previous Trusted Housesitter website. Thank you for reading my profile and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Frances Gloria - Cirencester, United Kingdom - 5 Jun - 6 Jul 2022 Frances housesit with and took care of our son Ben the Labrador. Frances is very friendly trustworthy and wonderful house and pet sitter. Patsy - Wadebridge, United Kingdom - 1 - 16 May 2022 My first experience of using a Trusted House sitter and I was very pleased. Frances came to stay two days before I went away so got to bond with my cat and dog. The animals very relaxed and happy and Frances sent pictures and a message every other day about how they were getting on and what they were doing. The animals had a lovely time and Frances was very lovely with them and she said she was loving the area of North Cornwall and I would be very happy to ask Frances to sit again for me in the future. Lindsey - Lyme Regis, United Kingdom - 8 - 25 Apr 2022 Frances came a day earlier so that I could meet with her which was great. All seemed well in the house and with my dog. The house was clean. I was very happy to have her house sit for me for two weeks while I was away. Alison - Exmouth, United Kingdom - 4 Mar - 5 Apr 2022 From the initial contact to the actual housesit, everything went very smoothly with good communication. Frances was amenable to my suggestion that she should meet us a couple of weeks before the actual sit, & also coming 48 hours before we left so that she could really get to understand Tipi’s routine, favourite walks etc & the house. We had no issues whatsoever, she gained Tipi’s confidence & soon became a substitute for us. This was reinforced when we met her some 4 days later to return a key & he bounded up to her like a long lost friend - he is clearly very attached to her & we have asked Frances to housesit for us again. We have no hesitation in recommending her - Tipi is quite anxious & likes a fair amount of walking, but she was up to the job & both he & the house had definitely been well cared for. Grace - Glastonbury, United Kingdom - 11 - 13 Feb 2022 Frances was so easy to communicate with and very organised. She was lovely with Remus and left the house clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend her to others. Thank you Frances! Terry - Bishops Lydeard, United Kingdom - 4 - 11 Feb 2022 Frances, was a wonderful dog sitter, who looked after our dogs and house while we were away. Frances made us feel comfortable with regular communication which led us to enjoy our holiday knowing our dogs and house was safe in her hands. Greta - Melbourne, Victoria, Australia - 14 - 25 Jan 2022 Frances did a wonderful job of looking after our 3 pets and we were able to relax on holiday knowing that she would manage the house and pet routines. Frances kept us updated on the pets while we were away and were turned to a tidy house and happy pets. I'm currently working part-time online so I'll have plenty of time to walk, cuddle and play with your pets. I'm available for pet and housesitting during the week and weekends dependant on my calendar availability. I love caring for pets and enjoy getting to know each and every one, treating them like my own. In addition I love to meet new people and explore new areas. I would dearly love to house and pet sit for you as I would offer your pets so much love, lots of cuddles, follow their daily routine, give lots of walks and play time and with their safety of the highest priority.

About: Hi! I'm Natty. I have experience caring for and dogsitting dogs of a variety of ages, including puppies, and injured dogs and walking more than one dog at a time. I have always had a love for animals. For my seventh birthday, I asked for pet chickens! When I was twelve, I convinced my parents to adopt a puppy, Marley, who is now a crucial member of our family. We love her to bits. I moved to the UK from Spain and had to leave Marley with my parents, which was hard. This is why I created this account. Caring for animals is something I'm very passionate about. I miss my own so much! I've always treated animals with complete care and respect. If you choose me to care for yours, I can guarantee that I will treat them as my own. Contact me for any dogsitting, drop-ins and/or dog-walking. I have a very flexible schedule. I have a very flexible schedule. For dog sitting, I may need to be contacted some time in advance to guarantee that I can commit. I always puppy-proof/dog-proof the house. I am able to crate dogs if needed, give them medication etc. I always make sure their environment is safe.

“Cara has been an amazing pet sitter and Walker for my furry friends! She is incredibly responsible, caring and attentive to their needs. She has cared for both my cats and dogs, and I always feel at ease knowing they are in her capable hands. She is always on time for walks and feeding times, and she ensures that they get the exercise and attention that they need. She also sends me updates and pictures while I’m away, which gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend Cara to anyone looking for a pet sitter or walker. She is trustworthy, reliable and truly cares for animals.”

“Lydia has a very calm and caring nature with dogs. Thrives on ensuring they get the best attention, love and fun. With so many safe and sensible walks on her doorstep, you know that they are in safe hands and will have a tonne of fun and exercise if they need it. Would highly recommend Lydia through my own experience that she tailors her care for any dog, always safe in her hands and she is one of a very small minority of people I trust to care for my pet when I need it.”
