Highlights
Pet care experience
Experience with dogs and cats!
I’ve been lucky enough to look after and/or walk a range of different dogs over the years for family, friends and neighbours. Growing up I always wanted dog but sadly my family dog died when I was young, and no one was home enough in the daytime for us to get another. This meant I was always very keen to look after other people’s dogs whenever I got the chance. I’ve also got lots of experience with my own family cats, having grown up alongside them (now 20 and 18 years old!), as well as lots of cat-sitting/feeding for other family and friends’ cats. I sadly have no pets of my own here in Bristol so I absolutely love it when I get the opportunity to spend time with other people’s lovely cats and dogs.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced off garden at home with some grass and no pets of my own, so they’ll get all the attention! I will always keep dogs on the lead for walks until we both feel comfortable and trusting of each other (those that need to be kept on the lead at all times will of course stay that way).
Ratings and reviews
This was the first time I had used this service so I was a bit nervous but I didn't need to be Carys was lovely and the daily pictures were lovely to receive. Missy can get stressed with new people but Carys was great with her. I will definitely be booking her again. I highly recommend Carys.
Cags is always a trustworthy and reliable companion for my two energetic Vizlas! She always ensures they have nice long walks and sends them home happy and well exercised. They are always excited to see Cags and I have complete peace of mind they are well looked after and safe when in her care! Would highly recommend for walks or home stays.
Cary’s has looked after both my dogs Maisie and Tess. She is incredibly reliable and responsible, and has always made sure to provide engaging and enriching times for the dogs both at home and on walks. They love her and when they’re in her care I always have peace of mind that they are well looked after and having a lovely time. Would definitely recommend her, excellent company for your furry friends, who you can trust!!
Cags is a fantastic dog sitter! She is great with our big black lab-boxer named Bella, who is very sweet but also very strong. It’s always tricky finding people who can take care of a dog who will pull you right over to say hi to everyone, but Cags had no trouble with Bella. Highly recommend!
Cags was amazing with our dog who can be sometimes a tough dog to handle due to her size (40kg) and personality. She was very receptive to our instructions on walking times and great at administering daily medication that she requires due to a chronic disease. Safe to say she isnt an easy dog to look after, but Cags had absolutely zero issues and bella loved her. Would 100% recommend Cags to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
Cags has looked after my two cats, Fig and Mochi, many times and I’d recommend her to anyone without hesitation. Mochi is, to put it kindly, high maintenance - fussy about food, prone to disappearing for hours, and quick to get sick. Cags handles all of it without drama. She asks what the best approach is rather than assuming, flags anything that seems off, and the cats always come back to us well fed. She’s also covered for us at the last minute when nobody else was available, and she sends photos while we’re away, which sounds like a small thing but makes a real difference when you’re missing them. I’d trust her completely with an accident or an unexpected vet trip, and equally in my home - she’s tidy, considerate, and the plants are always alive when we get back, which is more than I can say for myself. If you’ve got a particular or anxious cat, she’s exactly the person you want.
