Olly's Pawsome Pet Sitting
I've always had cats, hamsters, dogs, birds, rabbits and many more animals around me whilst growing up. I am confident with all animals, no matter size, species or temperament! I worked in a boarding cattery for 5 years, a kennels for 3 years and have volunteered on and off for charities such as Cinnamon Trust, RSPCA and Russet Greyhound Sanctuary. I am currently unemployed but working on a small craft business which takes up very little of my time, so I have plenty of time for all your fur babies! I am available any days and any times, I won't have anything to warrant me leaving your pets at all, either :-) I have a fully secured/fenced garden and will be able to stay with your pet the entire time if required. Whilst on walks, I ensure that the dogs in my care are always in my sight and I never take them anywhere that they may be at risk.

Ratings and reviews
The boys loved Olly! For 4 days they received an incredible level of care and attention I thought only I could show them. They were happy and healthy! Olly sent regular updates and photos which put my mind at rest. Olly also took great care of our home. Finding Olly has reduced my anxiety associated with leaving the boys whilst we’re away. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Olly again!
Olly is an excellent cat sitter. Came home to 2 really happy cats. Excellent communication and sorting everything was really easy. I will definitely use Olly again.
Olly was fantastic, booked last minute for xmas day and couldn't fault any part of the service. Our dog Pippa can be a little nervous with strangers but from the photos and updates we received from Olly we knew she was in good hands and enjoying plenty of attention and cuddles.
Olly has cared for my deaf cat, Kizzy, on several occasions over the last couple of years. It is clear that Olly has taken great care of Kizzy, always ensuring that Kismet has access to plenty of fresh water, the correct amount of food, and as much outside time as she likes. As she is deaf, Kizzy needs to be supervised outdoors, and Olly ensures that she is kept safe. Kismet enjoys spending time with Olly and has become very cuddly with him! I would highly recommend Olly to anyone who wants peace of mind that their animal will be well looked after and treated with kindness and patience.
Olly looked after our dog and cat over a period of several years and I can't recommend him highly enough to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets. He is knowledgeable about animal care and genuinely loves them; it was so nice to know that he enjoyed spending time with our fur babies, giving them lots fuss and long walks for the dog. We had no hesitation in trusting Olly to stay in our home during times when we were away and always came back to find everything just perfect. He was always great at communicating with us, for example by sending photo updates or checking in if he had any concerns or questions. If you're looking for someone to love and care for your animals, look no further.
Olly has walked my very stubborn and deaf terrier numerous times with absolutely no issues whatsoever: my dog actually listens to him more than she does to me! He's so one of the few people she allows to brush and bath her. He's a natural with cats and has looked after my three house cats when I've been away for a couple of nights. One of my cats is VERY shy and always hides when visitors come to my house, occasionally even getting hissy and quite aggressive. Olly very patiently made friends with him and it only took a couple of hours before my cat was giving him kisses and sitting on his knee, which NEVER happens. As they are strictly house cats, he was very conscious of not leaving doors and windows open. Olly understood my anxiety about them getting out accidentally, and was reassuring instead of dismissive, as some pet sitters can be. He really understood my pets are my babies! Olly also has loads of experience with rodents, and aquatic pets, including axolotls. His love for all animals is so obvious and I trust him completely. Would 100% recommend him.

A typical day
I love to provide physical and mental stimulation to dogs, this can include hiding toys for them to find, talking to them and providing lots of new sights and smells by going to a variety of places for walks! I live close to some lovely big fields/grassy areas which are amazing for exploring.
