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 did a drop in visit for our dog, really good communication dropped me a message when she arrived and left and even came round to visit him before the visit. Felt very reassured, would use again :)”

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.

“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: Growing up in country Australia I have been surrounded by all kinds of dogs from rescue greyhounds, senior citizens, and puppies my whole life. I have have a pooch of my own (a double doodle named Ffyn) and would love to take special care of your K9 family. I am experienced in house sitting, walking, and drop ins. I currently own a doodle puppy who would love the company of another dog, young or old. I work from home part of the week and my partner works from home full time. We live in a cottage in the countryside with easy access to beautiful forest and field walks, and have a very comfortable sofa for your pooch to relax on after a nice walk. We have a fully fenced garden and outdoor area. The house with its thick stone walls stays lovely and cool in hot weather where the dogs love to relax inside.

“Kim is absolutely wonderful and I feel so lucky knowing that she is looking after our cats. She’s also fantastic with our cat that needs medication. And she’s excellent at communicating with us.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.

“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. ”

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!”

About: As a 22-year-old veterinary medicine student with a strong foundation in animal care and a passion for animal welfare, I'm excited to offer your pet a safe, loving, and stimulating environment. My 14 years of experience caring for various animals, including 16 guinea pigs, a dog, a cat, and a rabbit, have equipped me with the skills to meet the unique needs of each pet. I'm dedicated to providing personalized attention and ensuring your furry friend feels right at home. I am a full-time university student at university Monday to Friday so I will be able to mostly fit my work around whatever your pet's schedule is! As a vet student, I can handle and care for most species/breeds to whatever schedule you wish with lots of cuddles and love of course :)

About: I've had dogs all my life, looked after family's dogs and also neighbours dogs from a young age. It's a huge passion for me and every dog I look after will be treated as if they were my own. I don't have any experience boarding as yet but hoping to build up and turn this into a professional business for myself in the near future, completing my canine 1st aid and nvq in boarding. Have experience with senior dogs and in giving oral medication. I am currently employed part time so I will be doing this alongside my current job so availability will be limited for the time being, with the potential of it becoming a full time business for me if all goes well. I work in the mornings 8-2 various days but always free in afternoons, evenings and alternative weekends I have a high fenced garden with a high locked gate. I have a cocker spaniel called Charlie who is very chilled out and friendly towards most other dogs. He hasn't been around cats very much so unsure what he is like around them. I also have 2 very caring, animal loving sons aged 9 and 16. Charlie is walked 3 times a day, early morning, lunchtime and evening. Obviously I'm very cautious if the weather gets too hot and will only get short toilet breaks on grassy areas. I am very passionate about making your pets visit a home from home experience, lots of interesting walks, cuddles on the sofa and the occasional visit to the treat cupboard!

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: We’ve always had pets including, dogs, cats, chickens, ferrets, reptiles and rodents just to name a few. Because of this I absolutely adore animals and enjoy meeting each personality, we’ve taken in older animals for their last stretch on this side and rescued plenty of fiesty babies who become beautiful happy babies. My whole family just loves animals, because of this whilst I’m at university in Plymouth I thought what better way to reduce how much I miss my babies than to look after others. I’m going into my second year at Plymouth and found missing my animals was a huge adjustment so I hope this will bridge the gap for myself. For the last six years I have been looking after neighbours and friends animals when they go on holiday or have an emergency and truly enjoy spending time with them as well as looking after them. Hopefully I can do the same in Plymouth. Im currently going into my second year at university in Plymouth with a changeable but low course load. This means that I am available for plenty of time with your pet be that toilet breaks and some loving or house sitting with them or taking them on a walk when needed. I’m looking forward to exploring some new areas and I believe there’s some English heritage places I haven’t been to yet! Because I am staying in halls I am unable to care for pets in my home however I would be happy house/pet sitting when I would only have to leave for university lectures which tend to be 2 hours long (plus commuting)

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.

“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”
