Pawsome care | reliable care for cats & dogs
✅ registered ✅ insured ✅ DBS-checked Hi! I’m Volha 👋 I provide calm, reliable drop-in care for cats and dogs, and I treat every pet as an individual, not just a booking. I’m very attentive to body language and routine. I notice the difference between a bark that means “let’s go!” and one that means “I’m overwhelmed”, and I respect a cat’s tail flick just as much as an invitation for chin scratches. Some pets want play and cuddles, others want quiet company - both are absolutely fine with me. I’m especially comfortable with: • anxious, shy, or slow-to-warm-up pets • pets who need routines followed closely • owners who want updates and peace of mind while they’re away Why choose me • I follow your instructions exactly - feeding, meds, treats, routines • Affection is always on your pet’s terms (from belly rubs to respectful distance) • I’m meticulous about cleanliness litter trays, bowls, muddy paws, and fur • I leave your home tidy What I offer (Drop-In Visits) Dogs • Feeding & fresh water • Gentle playtime and enrichment • Garden time / short potty breaks • Paw cleaning and settling before I leave Cats • Feeding (including warming food if needed) • Litter tray cleaning • Playtime or quiet companionship • Enrichment toys and treat puzzles Extra home care • Watering plants • Collecting mail • Shuffling blinds • Taking bins out

Great cat carer
Volha looked after our cat Posie for 3 days. She sent a report after each visit which was lovely while we were away. Volha always replied very quickly to any messages and the whole process was excellent. I would definitely recommend her and will asked her to look after Posie again.
Bit of a weird one as our Vince is still settling in but we had a night out booked in pre-Vince so needed someone to check he was still happy, watered and most of all give us peace of mind whilst we felt that new parent guilt of leaving him! Volha was so kind and understanding of our requirements as we had a good idea of how he might he and wanted his first evening home alone to be as chilled as possible. She even climbed into his pen to give him kisses and snapped some pics for us. Our first time using Rover and Volha was great! Will very likely book her again if the need arises.
Volha done an amazing job looking after our cat. Communication was great, kept us updated with each visit and provided lots of lovely photos which we appreciated. Great to know our cat was in such great hands. Would recommend!
The cats were so happy when we got home and have obviously been very well cared for by volha. Her regular messages and photos provided great reassurance as it was the first time we had left them, and were particularly appreciated by our 6 year old show as missing them!
