Safety, trust & environment
I provide a calm, reliable, and safety-focused approach when caring for pets in their own home, always treating them with the same care and attention as if they were my own. I understand how important it is for pets to stay in a familiar environment, so I keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. For dog walks, I use safe, secure routes such as local neighbourhood areas and Ferry Meadows, always prioritising your dog’s comfort and safety. I carefully follow your instructions regarding lead use, recall, and any behavioural needs. For cats and other pets, I take a gentle and patient approach, respecting their space and allowing them to feel comfortable at their own pace. I am confident handling more nervous or independent cats, always focusing on building trust and reducing stress. I am fully Canine First Aid and CPR trained, DBS checked, and I have my own transport, allowing me to be flexible and reliable for your bookings. You will also receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can feel completely reassured while you’re away. Keys and home access are always handled securely and with full respect for your privacy.
Information Zita S. would like to know about your pet
Before any booking, I like to understand your pet’s individual needs so I can provide the best possible care. Please let me know about their routine, feeding schedule, behaviour, and any preferences or sensitivities they may have. It’s also important for me to be aware of any medical conditions, medications, allergies, or specific instructions, as well as how your pet interacts with new people, other animals, or different environments. I am always happy to arrange a meet & greet beforehand, which I highly recommend. This allows me to get to know your pet, understand their personality, and ensure they feel comfortable with me from the start. Clear communication is very important to me, and I will always follow your instructions closely to make sure your pet feels safe, secure, and well cared for.
A typical day
A typical visit is always tailored to your pet’s individual personality, energy level, and routine, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. For dogs, I combine both physical exercise and mental stimulation to keep them balanced and fulfilled. This can include structured walks, sniff-based enrichment, ball games, basic training, or simply relaxed time depending on their needs and temperament. For cats, I focus on creating a calm and positive environment. This may include interactive play, gentle engagement, or quiet companionship, always respecting their mood and allowing them to approach on their own terms. I believe that both dogs and cats benefit from mental as well as physical stimulation, and I always adapt each visit to suit what your pet enjoys most. I am also continually expanding my knowledge of animal nutrition, including raw feeding, and I am happy to follow any specific dietary requirements as part of your pet’s routine.

Trusted Pet Sitter, Calm & Reliable
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Zita! 😊 Working with animals has always been my dream, and I feel really lucky to now be doing something I genuinely love every day. I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter based in Peterborough, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with a range of dogs and cats, including energetic dogs and those that need a bit more patience and understanding. I’m confident handling dogs that pull on the lead and always make sure walks are calm, safe, and enjoyable. I’m also confident caring for cats with stronger personalities, including those that can be more nervous or even a bit aggressive. I understand the importance of giving them space, reading their behaviour, and building trust at their pace. Owners often mention in my reviews that I provide great communication and regular updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I know how important it is to feel reassured while you’re away, and I always keep you updated with messages and photos. WHAT I OFFER • Safe and enjoyable dog walks • Drop-in visits for feeding, play, and company • Calm and patient care for nervous or high-energy pets • Confident handling of strong dogs and more challenging behaviours • Experienced with cats that may be shy or more defensive • Regular photo and message updates • Flexible and reliable service I’m happy to work with pets that need a bit of extra patience or understanding — I know every animal is different.

Reviews
Zita was absolutely amazing! It was my first time leaving my cat alone for so long, but Zita first came to meet her and get familiar with the flat. Throughout my leave I was sent a drop in card with pictures and updates about my cat, I could tell that she was very happy and looked after. Zita was very friendly, caring and lovely!
Great communication, cats enjoyed the visits and were calm and happy when I got back. Thank you!
We were anxious about leaving our 14 year old cat Flossie as we had not been away for many years. Zita came to visit for a meet beforehand and we were impressed and reassured immediately. We received reports and lovely pictures every day and could properly relax and enjoy our time away knowing Flossie was in very safe hands. Highly recommend Zita and will definitely book her again next time we go away. Thank you Zita so much.
Zita has been fantastic, I’m so glad I booked her to look after Alan! I’ve been getting detailed Rover cards every day with photographs … makes going on holiday and leaving him not an ordeal at all. Definitely recommend and for sure will be booking Zita again!
