Pet Sitting Axbridge

About: I have experience with large and reactive dogs, and have grown up fostering and owning rescue dogs so I am able to cater to many backgrounds I currently have full availability 7 days a week. Meaning I can be fully flexible for any needs/amendments and changes that may come up in your day-to-day I have a 6ft fenced garden and 1 dog (Ted) in my house to keep company. I take him out 2x a day and I am surrounded by lots of woodland walks. I also have access to 52 acres located in lower Weare. If your dog is happy to be in the car for 5 mins we can go there for a run around :)

“Christine helped us out a lot in June with our dog and she was amazing with Annie! She always seemed super content when we got home and all the little reports we got were so sweet, we could tell Annie was loving it! Thanks so much for being so fab and accomodating too. Highly recommend!”

“Gillian is a godsend, she looked after our puppy whilst we were on holiday at a music festival - nothing was too much trouble, not only did she visit and take good care of her, but she went over and above, agreeing to extra visits at the last minute and even turned down the heating when we accidentally left the house a bit too hot for our pup. Cannot recommend her highly enough.”

About: I'm a certified Canine Behaviourist (BCCSDip.AdvCanBhv), dog trainer and experienced pet care professional. A former Kennels Volunteer with Happy Landings Animal Rescue, I have extensive experience with dogs of all shapes, sizes and backgrounds. I have two dogs of my own, including a 52kg formerly reactive rescue, therefore no problem with giant breeds or powerful pullers. I pride myself not only on providing a high standard of care but also professionalism and effective communication. You can rest assured that your pets will be looked after as if they were my own! I work part-time from home so have plenty of flexibility for pet sitting. Happy to do pop ins, walks and overnight stays. I'm generally available for short notice bookings so if in doubt, do ask! The safety, wellbeing and tail wags (or purrs!) of your pet are my highest priority. I'm also happy to undertake other tasks such as watering plants, taking in mail, turning lights on and off etc. to ensure your time away is as stress-free as possible.

“Elizabeth was very caring and attentive. Took great care of my two dogs, one of which is a bouncy 52kg Caucasian Shepherd! Great comms, photos and updates. Highly recommend.”

“Lauren has been absolutely lovely with Nico. This was the first time we’d ever left him, and as he has separation anxiety I was quite nervous - but she was amazing and put him at ease straight away. He felt relaxed and comfortable with her immediately, which meant so much to us. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lauren to anyone looking for dog sitting or house sitting - especially if your dog needs a bit of extra patience and understanding. Thank you so much, Lauren ❤️”

About: I have a Level 3 in Pet First Aid, extended insurance and an Enhanced DBS Certificate. I have been around dogs from a very young age. I grew up around three Yorkshire Terriers and, in my teens, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and a Tibetan Terrier. I have also looked after a family member's dog, a French Bulldog, from when she was 6 months old until 3 years old when they moved away. During this time, I was able to teach her many tricks and my family member was always commenting on how much her behaviour was improving at home. I also had a cat for over 15 years. I am currently available most days and for nearly all services. Please contact me even if the booking shows I am not available because I would like to be as flexible as I can to help. BOARDING/DAYCARE: I have a fully enclosed 6ft fenced large garden. All rooms have doors, and your dog will have access to all rooms in the house. For added security, the stairs will have gates on the top and bottom, and there is plenty of room if your dog needs crating or separating upon request. There is also plenty of room if a quiet space needs to be created for your dog. Dogs are allowed on the furniture, creating a home away from home environment. My partner and son like to help out with the dogs I look after when they are not working, and there is more than likely someone always at home, so your dog will always have company. When dogs are in our care they always wear a tag with my details on too for added security. I like to stick to your dogs daily routine as much as possibly whilst still maintaining health and safety aspects. HOUSE SITTING: I treat all house stays as if I was living in my own home and have the most upright respect for your privacy. I advise arranging meet and greets before all bookings, so your pet and I can get a feel for each other to see if the match is right.

“I met Kim a few days ago to go through the routine that we have with our 5 month old puppy. Kim is due to start Monday but due to an emergency she was able to attend short notice to help us out. She is amazing at communication and brilliant at following instructions. Kim also has a very good report with our nervous dog and instantly clicked with one another. Look forward to continue booking with Kim. Highly recommend! 😊”

About: Had family pets throughout my life and have cared for and walked my friend’s and family’s dogs when needed. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions! 🐾 I’m currently working shifts so have plenty of time to care for your doggo! I’m an early bird, who loves being outdoors. I’m usually out running on the mendips or down the strawberry line. I have a large dog-proof garden with plenty of room to run and play. There are no dogs living at my home so can cater for reactive or nervous dogs too!

“Emily has been a wonderful dog sitter for Bonnie- she was so kind and easy to communicate with and Bonnie instantly loved her! Couldn’t recommend Emily higher if I tried!”

“Wow! Carrie was so brilliant! She’s so lovely and was able to help us out last minute after being let down by someone else. She cared for our Leo so well and sent regular updates and pictures, which made us feel so at ease. She went above and beyond to make Leo’s care perfect. We would absolutely highly recommend her and book with her again!”

“Katie was a life saver and came round at very short notice to sit with our 9 week old puppy when we were out.”

“Sara was lovely and very accommodating. We have 2 elderly and anxious cats that can be tricky to care for at times. Sara handled it well and communicated with us regularly, before and during our holiday, which put my mind at ease. ”

“Such a lovely lady. Looked after our puppy so well and has been extremely understanding and flexible. Definitely would recommend”

About: I have grown up around animals my whole life from cats, dogs, horses and lots of others. I currently have availability throughout the next month for dog walking, dog sitting, drop-in visits, cat sitting/ drop in visits. I’m a reliable and caring animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away. I’d love to help care for your furry family members! I’m currently a self-employed cleaner and I'm looking for extra work in the week, this gives me time to do drop ins, or take your dog for a lovely stroll. I will provide a calm and loving environment for your pet to enjoy their visit with us. I have an enclosed back garden to give your pets a safe and secure outdoor space if required. You're more than welcome to visit our home to see if we have the appropriate environment for your pet prior to booking.

About: Lifelong animal lover with decades of hands‑on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I grew up with Basset Hounds, Collies and mixed‑breeds, and as an adult I’ve owned everything from a Doberman to a Jack Russell, an Italian Mastiff–Great Dane cross, and now my young Rhodesian Ridgeback. I’m confident with high‑energy dogs, nervous or reactive dogs, and pets with health needs. I also have lifelong experience with cats and share my home with Ramona, my gentle 12‑year‑old ginger moggie. Calm, reliable, and genuinely caring—I keep pets happy, settled, and well looked after with regular updates so you always feel reassured. Pet care fits naturally into my day because I already structure my mornings and evenings around walking and caring for my own pets. I can offer drop‑ins or walks before and after work, and I’m more flexible at weekends for longer visits or extra support. I’m used to building routines around animals, so fitting in regular pop‑ins, feeding, playtime, and walks is something I genuinely enjoy. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most settled. Keeping them in their familiar environment helps reduce stress and keeps their routine consistent. I follow your instructions closely, keep everything secure, and make sure your pet feels calm, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away.

About: I started my Veterinary Nursing training when I was 18 years old and have not looked back since! I trained at an animal shelter practice and therefore have a good understanding of dogs with individual needs and temperaments. I have since qualified as an Emergency and Critical Care Nurse and now work as a Nursing Manager at a Large Veterinary Referral Hospital. I am certified in both Basic and Advanced Life Support/CPR and am happy administering all types of medications including injections. In addition to my extensive Veterinary experience I have also grown up with dogs and love to care and support them in all stages of their lives! I have been trusted by neighbours, friends, family and clients to look after their dogs before, even those with very advanced medical conditions and I am therefore comfortable caring for dogs that have a range of training and medical needs. I am passionate, fun and have a lot of love to give! If you have any questions please just get into contact and I will be happy to help! I understand trusting someone to look after your best friend and companion can be a lot, so if you want to talk things through with me regarding your pet’s individual needs, just let me know! 🐾 My schedule is currently very flexible, allowing me to provide attentive and consistent care throughout the day and adapt to your pet’s individual routine and needs. Whether your dog enjoys lots of walks and playtime, or your cat prefers a calm and relaxed environment, I can tailor my care to suit them perfectly. I am available during both weekdays and weekends and can often accommodate bespoke arrangements, medication schedules, and additional check-ins where needed. With my veterinary nursing background, I am confident caring for pets with a wide range of medical, behavioural, and emotional needs. I genuinely love spending quality time with animals, from long walks and enrichment for energetic dogs to cuddles, companionship, and gentle care for cats. My priority is always to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you are away 🐾 We live in a detached house in Cheddar. We have a secure fenced garden with grass and patio to suite your dog’s toileting habits! And also have direct access to public footpaths which take you onto stunning open fields.

“100% pleased and happy with Anna. Cant give enough praise, allowed me to enjoy my two days away without worrying about how poppy is coping. Don't think she missed me for a second. definitely will be asking Anna again Sent lovely photos to me absolutely delighted with Anna's pop ins”

Mrs Shirley Mary O.

“Anne was brilliant and patient with our very shy and nervous cat. It was such a relief to know our cat was in safe hands. She was well and happy on our return home. We were concerned that our return flight might be cancelled and after contacting Anne for her availability we were able to extend the booking, which was a relief and a blessing, as indeed our flight was cancelled! I would recommend Anne and Rover to friends and family.”

About: I grew up with two border collies. I helped care for them from pups to seniors. I don't have that many photos of me and them together or me and any pet together as I was a bit camera shy. I completely understand what it takes and how much our animals mean to us. From feeding them twice to three times a day, to the hours upon hours of walking I did with them by my side. I really learnt what it was like to care and look after pets. Young and old. I was in control of dog sledging team last winter. Competeing in races and casual sledging. I worked with my mother who fostered a puppy when our dog was senior, so I understand the difference in age and what is required with each stage of an animals life. Catering my experience to whatever stage your pet is at. I am an avid hiker and love taking dogs with me. I have been left friends dogs and cats to feed while they were away. Overall I just love animals. I am very flexible around dates and times. On an average week I will have 2-3 days i can dedicate to your pet. It will take a bit of organizing but I am sure that I can fit around your schedule. I like to listen to the pet owners about their pets, as I believe they know them best. I look to find out all i can about a dog before walks. If I am too come to your home. I like to know if the pet is on any medication. If there is any strict rules the pet follows (like not being allowed in bedrooms) after all it's the pets home. I'm just a visitor. Overall I like to get a sense of the animal and the situation I am coming into.
