Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced & Reliable, DBS checked
Based in Wednesbury, I have been pet sitting for several years on Trusted House Sitters and House Carers as well as caring for friend's and family's companion animals when needed. I have experience looking after dogs, cats, rodents, sheep, birds, fish, goats, poultry, rabbits and cows in both the UK and France. Over the years I have built up an amount of excellent 5* reviews and references I offer pet sitting in your home or boarding. When staying in a client's home I take good care to leave it in an excellent, clean state. Your pet's welfare and happiness is of highest priority and I will ask for several details from you about his/her personality, likes/dislikes/routine/ health requirements and history etc including last flea and worming treatment and vet details. This enables a secure handover where both parties are happy in the knowledge your pet is in safe hands. I can also board small animals such as hamsters, rats, mice etc. I only board one pet at a tim unless they come together as one family. I have a secure high fenced back garden and a recreation field nearby for long walks. I have a certificate in pet first aid and DBS checked.( Please ask to see if you wish). As well as Rover reviews I have included copies of previous references and reviews in the photo gallery section of my profile from Trusted house sitters. There you can also see a selection of the animals I have cared for as a house sitter spanning many years. Please check my Rover calendar before contacting me to avoid disappointment. 🙂

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I have a small, but welcoming house with wildlife friendly front and back gardens. There are no other animals living at my home so any boarders won't be sharing with any unfamiliar animals when coming to stay. In my past experience as a pet sitter I have cared for up to three dogs or four cats comfortably at the same time so I can board or come care for more than one pet if they usually live together. I understand the importance of sticking to routines and feeding schedules. Cats will be boarded at my home as house cats, with 24hr access to toilet facilities and a lap :-). I have experience administering tablet form medications and caring for disabled older dogs in their own home.
Ratings and reviews
Glenda house sat with our two lurchers and was brilliant - arrived early, sent updates and photos every day and kept us informed of everything while we were away. We came back to two happy dogs and a clean house. Would highly recommend Glenda, we’ll definitely be booking her again!
Glenda was fantastic, our nervous cat was very comfortable with her, she sent pictures and checked in with us at least once a day and is a lovely person. Excellent communication and care.
We booked Glenda to have our young frenchie who had never stayed away from us before so obviously we were very nervous owners. However there was no need for that at all! Glenda was super accommodating with 2 overnight stays before the actual break as trial runs and she took fantastic care of him. I loved getting the daily photos and updates of him out on his little adventures and its clear he really loved staying there. Our first time using this service but it was seamless start to finish so will definitely use again in the future. We cannot recommend Glenda highly enough to anyone looking for your pet to have 5 star treatment whilst you are away, contact her you won't be disappointed, absolutely fantastic 👏 thankyou so so much for taking such good care of our fur baby!
Our animals were well looked after and Domino's medication was administered as advised which put our minds at ease while away. Daily photos and updates were reassuring and lovely to receive. Thank you.
Glenda looked after my cat while I was away and did a fantastic job. She kept me updated, which gave me peace of mind, and it was clear my cat was well cared for and happy. I would definitely recommend Glenda to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.
Fantastic last-minute help I booked Glenda at the last minute after being let down, and I’m so glad I did! She was really accommodating and fitted in perfectly with Billy’s normal late-evening walks. Billy was staying at home with my parents, and Glenda was also absolutely lovely with them. It was clear from the start that she genuinely put Billy first. She didn’t just walk him and drop him back at the door — she made sure he was settled and okay after his walks, which gave us such peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Glenda and will hopefully be booking her again for the end of the year if she’s available. Thank you so much! 🐾❤️
