Dog Sitting in Somerset

“Steph takes good care of my sweet girl.”

“From the moment we met Laine, we knew she was the person we needed watching our 3 boys (cats) while we were away for a week. Laine has a very calming, soothing presence and that translated directly to her care while we were away. I left her a list of important info and FYI’s and she went well above and beyond, every single day. She treated our boys as if they were her own and was so communicative with us the entire time. I’m a bit of a nervous cat mom so this was invaluable and put my mind at ease far more than I could have anticipated. She sent amazing pictures and left our space better than even we left it. That’s saying something because our boys are very messy. She earned their trust with patience (along with some treats and catnip) and a special touch. She even let us know when one of our boys had a bit of an issue with diarrhea. Her attention to detail is second to none. I’m so grateful to have found her here, she truly cares about animals and gave us peace of mind that our boys were in the best hands possible. I truly believe that’s something money can’t buy! Laine is simply incredible, I’ll spend a long time trying to find the right words to thank her. We can’t wait to book her again for our trips!”

“Kerry was very communicative and reliable as usual. I don’t have to worry about my kitties when I’m away because I know Kerry gives them all the love and care they need! I will be happy to hire her again in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages since I was 12. People continue to rely on me for their pet care as I am reliable, trustworthy and compassionate. I have worked at the Potter League Animal Shelter with their dogs with a focus on overall animal wellbeing. I’m excited to meet and care for your pet! I currently work part time, so I have plenty of time to play and care for your pets! I have open availability over the weekend and Mondays. Tuesday-Friday I am available for morning check ins and evening check ins. I love animals and I'm so excited to meet yours. Care and trust are vital to my pet care services. I am able to confidently crate animals if needed, clean up any messes, and feed your pets. I am comfortable with pets of all shapes and sizes. It is my main priority that you and your pet feel comfortable with me. I will additionally provide multiple message updates and photos about how your pet is doing!

“Meghan met my expectations. I would have preferred more detail about each visit. And I got the impression that perhaps she is more of a dog person than a cat person.”

“Maddie did a great job with my two cats, she is very attentive and responsive. She made sure my cats had a great time over the holidays with lots of treats and toys.”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was five years old, and that love has never wavered. Over the past five decades, I’ve cared for an extraordinary range of breeds such as German Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers, Collies, Lhasa Apsos, Jack Russells, American Staffordshire Terriers, English Bulldogs, and Chihuahuas, among others. I currently share my home with three Chihuahuas of my own, ranging from 8 months to 7 years old, so your dog will always have friendly, familiar company. My experience goes well beyond basic care: I have bottle fed newborn Chihuahuas rejected by their mother, and I am currently completing CPR certification specifically for dogs. I am bully breed friendly and comfortable with a wide variety of temperaments and sizes. I bring reliability, genuine dedication, and a deep belief that every dog deserves the highest standard of love and respect, and you can be sure that is exactly what your pet will receive in my care. As a semi-retired professional who works from home, my schedule is highly flexible and centered around my three dogs. Your pet will never be left alone for long stretches; I'm home the vast majority of the day, which means regular walks, playtime, meals, and attention are built into the routine naturally. I treat pet care not as a side task but as a core part of my day. Your dog will be staying on a private two-acre property with a semi enclosed backyard: plenty of space to run, explore, and decompress. Please note that the front yard is not fenced, so all outdoor front-yard time is leashed and supervised. Inside, your pet will have a dedicated private room, cozy bedding, and a crate available upon request (crate reimbursement appreciated). In the event of any medical concern, the nearest emergency veterinary clinic is conveniently located on State Road in Swansea.

About: I have taken care of pets starting at the age of 9 when my parents got me my first puppy. I had raised and trained him on my own, had responsibility of restocking and refilling food and water, as well as grooming, bathing, and bathroom use. Flash forward to when it came to my own dogs senior years, I had learned to understand the extra care that comes along with that. At the age of 13 I had started pet sitting for family and friends. Whether it be walking next door to my neighbors, taking care of a pet in my home, or having my mom drive me someone’s household, I’ve always enjoyed taking care of and playing with pets. At the age of 16 when I had gotten my license, I had started offering to do overnights at peoples homes for their pets and had driven myself to homes multiple times in a day to care for them. I think it’s important to be present, playful, and all around loving to each and every pet. I love to meet new pets and prioritize creating comfort between the animal and I. I’m currently working full time but have weekday evenings open and weekends open!! I have pets myself as home and pet care fits into my routine very naturally. Thankfully I have family to help out with my pets when I’m not there and can give full care to other pets when needed! I have grown up having dogs my entire life (Also having chickens, geese, and bunnies). Being a pet owner gives perspective in terms of creating a sound environment. When I go on vacation or need someone to care for my animals, I look for qualities that many others would. Trust, responsibility, and genuine care. When roles reverse, I behold these qualities to ensure that whoever I am caring for receives this level of comfort from these qualities.

“Jennifer did amazing! So responsive, sent pictures of our cats while we were away, and let us know they were doing great! Very reliable, and so kind to us and our pets!”

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for dogs and believe every one of them deserves patient, loving care. I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I do my best to make them feel safe, happy, and understood. Whether your dog is playful, shy, young, or older, I’ll treat them with real care and attention. No matter the age, all dogs are puppies to me! I am new to this, but I will make pet care a consistent part of my routine and plan my schedule carefully so your loved one gets the time and attention they need. I’m reliable with check-ins, feedings, playtime, cleaning, walks, and keeping pets company. I promise to do my best to be flexible and, more importantly, communicate clearly so owners always know their pets are being cared for. Will send cute pics for reassurance! :D I have always created a calm, safe, and clean environment for every pet in my care. I follow feeding instructions closely, respect each pet’s routine, and pay attention to their comfort, behavior, and boundaries. In a client’s home, I make sure to be respectful and dependable, and keep things tidy while giving their pet patient attentive care. Have only helped family but when I love another's pet to me they also become family. <3

About: I have an 11 year old shih tzu and a 13 year old Persian cat. I worked as a dog handler at a doggy daycare for six months caring for dogs off leash and also overnight. I am able to administer medications or any other request your pet may require. I currently walk dogs and petsit when I am needed. I am looking to get more clients for petsitting because I enjoy being around animals! It is always a bit stressful for pets when owners leave them. I will be there to comfort your animals best that I can. I will make sure to give them plenty of love, attention, and play that they need while you are away.

About: I have cared for animals my whole life, whether my own pets or others through veterinary clinics and internships. I love animals and care for each one as if they’re are my own. I am available all week. I take care of my three cats and two dogs throughout the week and weekends, so why not open up to more amazing pets that are out there as well. I am very cautious when it comes to taking care of animals so any directions needed are well reviewed and looked over before any visit. Any special medications or schedules needed are no problem for me to follow. I have complete respect and understanding that some animals might be nervous because I am entering their space. A little patience and a soft gentle voice goes a long way to making them feel a bit more comfortable with an unfamiliar face.

About: My family and I have had our dog Misha for 10 years now. She’s a German shepherd Husky mix and along the years we’ve had to go through some things that have definitely added to my knowledge and experience with dogs. In addition to that I’ve been working at a doggy daycare for the past 3 years. There I come across many different breeds and sizes of dogs, all of which I am comfortable being around. We offer grooming and boarding services there so I’m very familiar with giving baths if needed and feeding and or giving any medications. I also was recently able to become certified in pet first Aid and CPR. Lastly I have had a previous dog walking job when I was a bit younger and I have done dog sitting for friends and family before. I’m currently working Part time. My normal schedule is typically Wednesday-Friday and then I work every other Saturday. So Sunday-Monday I’m normally pretty free and flexible. I live in a house that offers lots of room and plenty of yard space. Our yard is not fenced in but I have a long lead that could allow your dog to have the freedom to play and run around without running away. I also have a large crate if your dog needs to be crated. They can absolutely sleep in the bed with me too if they’d like. I also have a German shepherd Husky and if my dog and yours needed to be separated that’s not a problem at all. If I’m coming to your house I will make sure that I am following any rules you may have in place and follow any directions you’ve told me regarding your pup. Depending on if you have a yard or not I’ll let them have lots of play time and give them plenty of love and affection. Or I could take them on a nice walk to get some exercise. Either way if your baby comes to me or I come to them, I can promise they’ll be properly cared for!

About: I am a certified Veterinary Assistant and have my Associates degree in Animal Science. I have worked with animals on and off for 15 years and have owned and cared for cats and dogs my entire life. ~I work in all weather conditions so long as I can travel safely ~I am comfortable with all dog breeds as well as: Cats, reptiles, amphibians, birds, other small animals, chickens, goats, horses, fish, and more!! Just ask! I am an active person so I will enjoy walking and playing with your animals and I don't mind necessary farm chores or clean up duty. I care for each animal as if it’s my own and that includes notifying you if I feel there are any health or safety concerns for your animals that need to be addressed. As a trained, educated, and certified animal professional I have an obligation to the animal first. I am a full-time mom and part-time animal care professional. I am currently available Monday through Friday 8am-2pm with some flexibility after 2pm and weekends. Who best to know how to care for your animal than you! That's why I require an initial meet and greet with you and your animal(s) to allow me to see and hear how you interact with your animal, commands they know, signals, their leash training, temperament, etc. Also, it allows the animal a chance to meet me with you (their safe person) around. I will also send you a short form to fill out with necessary details like care instructions, emergency contacts, vet and immunization information, etc.

About: I have four years of companion animal knowledge under my belt and two years as a veterinary technician and kennel attendant! Through schooling, I have learned proper care and treatment of our pets, grooming, dog walking/training, etc. Additionally, working in the veterinary medicine field has taught me more along the lines of medications, care for sick pets, nutritional needs, and much more. I have two of my dogs at home whom I implement my skills with on a daily. I am currently working part-time at a veterinary hospital. With that being said, I have a lot of free time to distribute pet care, including most weekday evenings and all day during the weekend. In my own home, I feed my dogs twice daily on a specific schedule and have play time outside throughout the day in our fenced-in backyard. During warmer weather, we typically go on walks and keep on moving so that there is no room for boredom or destruction inside my home. I try to be as interactive as possible with pets while still having time to settle down with toys alone.
