Dog Sitting Nottingham

About: I'm currently a Pre-Veterinary student at University of New Hampshire and currently work at a local veterinary clinic. As a veterinary assistant I have gained experience with animal handling and care. I am also Fear Free Certified and know had to adequately prevent fear, anxiety, and stress in both cats and dogs. I have previously worked at a training facility and am familiar with certain signals and behaviors that animals demonstrate to express themselves. I have owned cats and dogs my entire life and have been exposed to many types of breeds, species, and seen interesting cases regarding animal health. When I'm not at school I take care of my two dogs and cats at home. Furthermore, I work part-time at a veterinary clinic at school and at home so I am constantly surrounded by animals and have exposure to many cases. I previously owned a diabetic cat and learned how to administer insulin shots and monitor her glucose levels multiple times a day. I feed and water my animals in my home at least twice a day, snacks are often provided as well. I walk my dogs as much as necessary (typically twice a day). I always play with my cats and dogs. I have a kitten who loves playing fetch with toy mice and a 5 year old dog who enjoys hiking trips and swimming. The two dogs get groomed when needed but I brush them consistently in between grooms. Finally, I am responsible when it comes to my animals' health and notice any changes in behavior or appearance almost immediately. I find it important to keep them up to date with vaccines and any other medications they need.

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and a bunch of other animals, and I have always loved taking care of them. My family, neighbors, and friends have all relied on me to take care of their pets over the years, whether it's for walks, check-ins, or overnights, and I would love to do the same for your pet. I'm a college student living back at home for the summer and have plenty of time during the week for quick check-ins and walks, and I will be able to stay overnight most weekdays and over the weekends. I am very comfortable around dogs and would have no problem going on walks, crating your dog, administering most medicine, or doing any other tasks that may be required.

About: Animal lover with a passion for caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Reliable, patient, and attentive, with a focus on keeping pets safe, active, and happy on every walk. I'm currently not working, so I have plenty of time to cuddle and take care of your pets! My availability is wide open! Limited weekend hours. My home isn't pet friendly as my cats don't like friends. So any pet watching would have to be at your house or outside or another location.

“Xi was a very loving and gentle cat sitter for my 2 kitties during a recent extended trip. She managed insulin injections for my youngest sweetheart! Always a good communicator and very respectful! I would not hesitate to call for Xi again!”

“Jennika is a wonderful option for reliable pet care. She has strong communication skills and a wonderful positive energy! She will tend to your pets needs with TLC and send photos throughout her visits so that you don’t have to go too long without seeing your fur babies!”

“Adelle was great with my large dogs! The drop-in visits were helpful and she was always on time to take them out.”

Nicole P.

“Yujie was amazing with my two dogs. He was incredibly helpful and always responded very quickly, even last minute. His communication was excellent, which gave me complete peace of mind. I could tell right away that he is kind, patient, and truly cares about the animals he takes care of. I will absolutely continue to use Yujie for my dogs and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate animal care.”

“Betsy was able to accommodate a last minute drop in request and followed directions wonderfully! My pup can be a little shy/anxious around new people but I know he appreciated the company too! Thanks so much!”

Meagan S.

“Nicole was terrific! She did a great job getting our older & very shy cat to take her medicine and overall took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. It was great to know that they were in such good hands and we would definitely ask Nicole to sit for us again.”

About: I graduated from college with a degree in Veterinary Technology. I currently work at vet hospital in Maine. I have been with animals all my life. And have two of my own. I work full time so during the week days afternoon potty time will be hard but if they can handle over 6+ hours of being alone then it will work perfectly. I would care for your animal at your house so it will be easier on your animal and not be anxious when at a new place. I will give them lots of cuddles and love. I treat them like they are my own. We will play all sorts of games too.

“Beth is such a warm and friendly person and our pups just love her. She is very prompt and communicative as well. We will certainly book her services again.”

About: Hi, I’m Jordyn! Animals aren’t just a job for me—they are my absolute passion. I’ve been working professionally in the pet care industry since 2019, running my own successful dog daycare and boarding services. Because of my background, I bring a high level of expertise, safety, and dedication to every pet I care for. I’ve loved and managed just about every breed, size, and personality out there, and I deeply understand canine behavior, social dynamics, and safety protocols. I know how tough it can be to leave your four-legged family member behind, which is why my goal is to give them a fun, stress-free environment where they feel right at home. Whether your pup is a high-energy bundle of fun or a sensitive soul who needs a little extra patience, I tailor my care to what they need most. What you can expect when your dog is with me: • Professional Expertise: Experience managing dietary needs, medicine administration, and diverse temperaments. • A Cozy, Structured Environment: Plenty of love, structure, and personalized attention so they feel like family. • Peace of Mind: Reliable communication and frequent photo updates so you never have to wonder how they're doing. I’m fully committed to making sure your dog has a fantastic, safe experience. I can't wait to meet your furry best friend! Because my profession and my lifestyle are completely centered around animals, pet care isn't just a task tacked onto my day—it is the structure of my daily and weekly routine. Here is a look at how pet care naturally shapes my schedule: The Daily Rhythm: Structure & Consistency Cats and dogs thrive on routine, so my days are built around predictable, high-quality care windows: • Morning Kickoff (The Energy Boost): The day always starts early with breakfast, fresh water, and essential health checks. For dogs, this means immediate outdoor time, structured group play, or morning walks to burn off early energy. For cats, it’s about refreshing litter boxes, feeding on a precise schedule, and offering some gentle morning scratches or playtime for the early risers. • Mid-Day Management (Balance & Maintenance): Mid-day is all about balance. It includes administering any afternoon medications, managing specific dietary needs, and supervising play dynamics to keep the environment safe and harmonious. For more independent pets or cats, this is a great time for quiet companionship, checking in on shy animals, and keeping their environment pristine. • Evening Wind-Down (Cozy Comfort): As the day wraps up, the focus shifts to winding down. After evening meals, I focus on creating a calm, cozy atmosphere. This is the time for belly rubs, lap lounging, and ensuring every animal feels safe, secure, and treated like family before bed. The Weekly Flow: Communication & Upkeep On a weekly basis, pet care involves the operational behind-the-scenes work that keeps everything running smoothly: • Constant Client Communication: A huge part of my week is dedicated to giving owners peace of mind. I stay in regular contact with frequent photo updates and detailed check-ins so clients never have to wonder how their furry family members are doing. • Environment & Safety Deep-Cleans: Maintaining a safe, hygienic space is a top priority. Weekly routines include deep-sanitizing play areas, washing bedding, checking safety gates, and thoroughly refreshing pet areas to ensure top-tier cleanliness. • Individualized Attention Planning: Every week brings different personalities, ages, and temperaments. I constantly adjust my weekly flow to accommodate high-energy pups who need extra exercise, or older, sensitive pets who require a quieter, more patient pace. Ultimately, blending professional expertise with genuine affection means that providing a safe, structured, and loving environment is second nature to my everyday routine. When pets stay with me, they are welcomed directly into my daily life and treated like a member of the family. My home environment is designed to offer the perfect balance of professional safety and domestic comfort. • A Tailored, Safe Environment: Because of my background in professional pet care, my home is fully set up for safety and supervision. I closely monitor all interactions and group dynamics, ensuring that high-energy pets have space to play while more sensitive or older animals have quiet, designated areas to relax undisturbed. • Consistency is Key: I replicate the structure pets need to feel secure. This means adhering to regular feeding schedules, prompt bathroom breaks, and managing specific dietary or medical needs with professional precision. • The Best of Both Worlds: Pets get the socialization, playtime, and mental stimulation they crave during the day, followed by a calm, cozy environment in the evening. There is always a warm lap, plenty of belly rubs, and a comfortable spot to wind down. In Your Home: Maintaining Comfort, Routine, and Security When I care for pets in your home—whether for drop-in visits, dog walking, or house sitting—my primary goal is to minimize their stress by keeping their exact environment and routine completely unchanged. • Respecting the Routine: I step seamlessly into your pet’s normal schedule. I feed them in their usual spots, walk them along their familiar neighborhood routes, and follow your specific instructions to the letter. This continuity is especially vital for cats and anxious dogs, who thrive on predictability. • Focused, One-on-One Attention: Without the distractions of a daycare environment, your pet gets my undivided love and attention. Whether it’s an energetic game of fetch in the backyard, a focused neighborhood walk, or a quiet cuddle session on the couch with a sensitive cat, the time is entirely theirs. • Home Security & Peace of Mind: Beyond top-tier pet care, I treat your home with the utmost respect and discretion. I ensure doors are securely locked, mail is brought in if requested, and the living space is kept exactly as you left it. What You Get in Both Settings: Unmatched Peace of Mind. No matter where the care takes place, my commitment to communication never changes. You will receive regular, detailed updates and plenty of photos so you can see exactly how relaxed, happy, and safe your furry family member is while you're away.

“Heather was wonderful with my cat. We've only lived here for 3 weeks,so she's a bit nervous about people coming in and out of the house. Heather was calm with Teaghan. I got photos and even a follow up after I got home to see if Teaghan ate her food!”

“Stephanie was amazing with our animals. She was communicative throughout our time away. She really took the time to understand our animals needs which made being away stress free. Highly recommend!!!!”

About: I have been dog sitting for others for 4 years now and have had cats and dogs most of my life! I am an avid pet lover and love helping out pet parents care for their fur babies. I have trained basic skills, potty trained and crate trained dogs.

My schedule is fairly flexible and I am able to be home often if needed for a pet. I am a good fit for dogs/cats that are able to manage 6 hours alone for days I have to work!

Every pet has their own personality and I completely understand any accommodations or activities your pet needs.

“Lisa was amazing! Helped us out last minute and was amazing with Roscoe. Sent us pictures and that was greatly appreciated. Our first time away from the boy, difficult for all of us. This will be easier next time for sure thanks to Lisa. We will definitely be using Lisa again. Kind, courtesy and professional. Thank you Lisa.”

“Erica helped us handle our dog Moose for our engagement photos and she was SO helpful!! She arrived early, had treats, and was super accommodating. Would definitely recommend Erica for taking great care of your pup!”

About: Growing up, I always loved animals and would ask to take care of and walk my neighbors’ or friends’ dogs. My family got 2 dogs while I was in high school and I was able to take care of them and train them. I’m currently in college pursuing a degree in Animal Science and on the road to becoming a vet, so I have lots of animal experience! I’m currently a college student and am free on weekends. Over the summer, I will be free all day everyday until my internship starts and am looking to help out whenever possible! My neighborhood is very dog and cat friendly. I don’t have a fenced in yard but easily use leashes for my own dogs. I only have two dogs that get along with other dogs pretty well but could be put in their crate if needed. However, it would be easier to stay at the client’s home if overnight care is needed.
