I have a lot of love to give to your fur babies

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with cats and dogs and I’ve had two cats of my own when I was married the first time. My present husband isn’t okay with me having a pet as he knows who will have to do walks in the bad weather and that’s not fair to him. I currently have tropical fish of my own and he looks after them more than me. I’ve done some pet sits so far and looked after two outdoor cats twice, one in Masham and the other in Darwen with my husband. I’ve done a sit for a labradoodle called Max who was adorable and Bailey a Lhasa Apso who was a little sweetie. Both these were in Harrogate. I’d prefer to do dog sits in the warmer months if they need taking out for exercise and ablutions as I’m a fair weather bird. I’ve also looked after my daughter’s two in-indoor cats and she now has a Fox Red Labrador too, for the weekend, which was quite an experience. I also looked after her for two days a week when they had to go back in the office but that just got a little too much for me. I did look after her again when they went on honeymoon in July/August last year for a week. We will be looking after them again in May while they go to a wedding in Italy for a week. Just confirming that I’d rather not do puppies as they need constant attention and are very tiring. I’m unable to have pets of my own so want to look after other people’s and get to have a change of venue along with it. I’d love to look after your pet in their own home, somewhere they’re used to and happy in. I wouldn’t have them in my home as I’ve said it should be somewhere they’re used to. They should also have their own designated sleeping area at night which isn’t human beds and be house trained. I don’t have any grandkids yet and have a lot of love to give to peoples pets.

Beverley came to look after my nervous rescue labradoodle Max for 4 days. We had a couple of Whatsapp video calls before she came and she was early as I had asked her to be there because I had a train to catch. She got on very well with Max and he does have his little quirks. She sent me photos of Max while I was away and stuck to his routine and got on with him very well. Beverley took Max out on new walks and took him out to breakfast with her and she said he behaved beautifully.Beverley had done the laundry and cleaned my house beautifully. I would love to have Beverley to look after Max again in the future.

Beverley and John house sat for us for two weeks to look after our cats Betty and Colin. You couldn’t wish for better people to look after your pets and your home. We had a couple of video calls before the sit and had a few hours together before we left. We were able to head off on holiday knowing our cats would be well looked after. While we were away Beverley sent us regular updates and photos. They got on so well with our neighbours I think our neighbours were sad to see them go! Our house was left spotless! Beverley insisted on washing the bedding and towels and John had cut the lawn for us. I highly recommend Beverley and John, they allowed us to have a relaxing holiday knowing our cats were being loved and well taken care of.

Safety, trust & environment

I love cats and would have no problem caring for cats, house or outdoor, feeding them, playing with them and keeping them happy. I would look after them in their own home only somewhere they felt most at ease. I would look after dogs but wouldn’t do puppies as they’re too boisterous and giddy for me I’m afraid. I would only dog sit in the summer months if the dogs need to be walked as I’m afraid I’m a fair weather bird. I would cat sit anytime of the year though. I’m very house proud and would look after your home as if it were my own. Hence I would respect the owners wishes and requests with regard to where the pets are allowed in the home. Where possible pets should have their own designated sleeping areas at night be it a dog bed or a pen but not human beds. The same for cats too of course. *FULL CLEAN ADULT & CHILD DBS CHECK* *FULL CLEAN UK DRIVING LICENCE* I would be coming to your home, I will do so with the understanding that you are trusting me to be in your safe space. From my work as a live-in caregiver, I have life experience of house-sitting and I enter your home with the knowledge that this is your happy place. I am a clean and tidy house-guest and I wholeheartedly respect your boundaries within your home and outside of it. Whatever accommodations you would like me to make, I am happy to oblige and am grateful for your trust in allowing me into your home to look after your beloved pet.

Information Beverley D. would like to know about your pet

Any special information like taking vitamins and calming tablets. Medication to keep their coats in good condition or any flea/worming medication. Special dietary needs or supplements. Likes and dislikes regarding food, walks and any other special information like petting and cuddles.

A typical day

I would take dogs them for a walk and try to entertain them as best I can. Only special places to them as it would be where the owners live so hopefully, they’ll be familiar with the surroundings and be comfortable and happy. I would cuddle and play with them if they allowed. I would do the same with cats but obviously not taking them for a walk lol ?

I have finally retired from the NHS at the end of March after 21 years service as a Medical Secretary so would be available anytime to pet sit in your home for your pet. I love visiting different places and exploring so this is a great way to combine both things. I’d also sit with my husband when possible if it’s a longer sit and further away as he usually drives long distances a d it would be like a little break in a different place for us both.
