Pet Sitting Axbridge

“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: 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.

“Natalie was lovely with my 2 dogs. The 1 year old is a bit anxious when she first meets someone. Lovely to have the photos too. I definitely recommend Natalie.”

“Christine was able to help us at relatively short notice with our labrador Pippa. She's very friendly and clearly got on very well with Pippa. She kept us updated and we'll be sure to book with her again.”

“We can’t sing Gillian’s praises enough. She’s the top cat/dog sitter in our area and for good reason. She’s gone above and beyond while looking after our two cats, going to such great and selfless lengths that we never expected. It was our first time using this service, and Gillian has won our trust completely.”

Matt S.

“Really helpful and a lovely lady, nothing was an issue and she helped me out at short notice with a dog visit. Updates and information on the visit plus she took the time to understand my dogs needs and took care of everything. 10/10 would use again.”

About: Have no experience in pet sitting however I have worked in veterinary for 8 years and have a huge passion for animals. I have always wanted to delve into the pet sitting/walking world. I work full time at Axe Valley vets in Blackford. On weekdays I can offer my service around my work schedule. Weekends I can be very flexible. My whippets are my actual world and I would do absolutely anything for them. They love walks in the forest, runs on the beach and playing with their toys. I am always with my whippets and spend any spare time with them.

“Karen was amazing. She was punctual, provided excellent updates and photos, and looked after my two cats with great care and attention. Knowing they were in such good hands gave me complete peace of mind. I can’t recommend her enough.”

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 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.

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.

“Lily responded so quickly to my last minute request and was superb with the cats, very attentive to all details, and great at reporting back. Thank you!”

Micaela G.

“Thank you so much for coming to see Ralph - he definitely felt a lot happier with someone dropping in with him!”

“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!”

About: Hi, I’m Leah I started offering pet care in June, and since then I’ve really enjoyed getting to know lots of lovely dogs and pets and gaining hands-on experience caring for them. While I’m still relatively new to professional pet care, I’m reliable, caring and take the responsibility of looking after someone’s pet very seriously. I grew up with and cared for my own English Bulldog, who was 10 years old when she sadly passed away last year. She was a huge part of my life and helped me realise just how much I love caring for animals. I’m fully insured, DBS checked and have completed a dog first aid course, so your pet’s safety and wellbeing is always really important to me. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their individual personality, routine and needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit or overnight care, I’ll always treat them with patience, kindness and plenty of attention. I’m also happy to send regular photo updates so you can see how they’re getting on while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and give them the care and attention they deserve! I currently work 26 hours a week over 4 days, so I have regular days and times available for pet care. I currently work: Tuesday 9:30-4 Wednesday 12-4 Thursday 8:45 - 5:30 Saturday 8:45-5:30 I’m happy to work around my schedule where possible and can offer walks, drop-in visits and overnight stays. I always make sure I only accept bookings that I can fully commit to, so your pet gets the time, attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in their own home, I always aim to keep them comfortable and maintain their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding times, walks, medication and any other specific needs your pet has. I understand that leaving your pet and home with someone new can feel daunting, so I’m respectful of your space and take their safety and wellbeing seriously. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well cared for.

About: Hellooo I’m Phoebe, I’m a qualified veterinary surgeon and starting a new role which means I’ll have some days off during the week and weekend. I grew up at a child minders who also had a pet sitting service, so from a young age have looked after anything from hamsters and tortoises to large-breed dogs. I have my own dog and tortoise who I adore! As a vet, I’m comfortable with giving medications at home and following your pet’s routine as closely as possible! I have an attention to detail and am more than happy to give you regular updates and photos. I’ve been working as a vet now for 2 years and starting a new role this summer! I have my own tortoise and dog who I adore. In my new role at work my shifts are constantly changing, which means available dates are not regular. But we can have a chat about what you and your pet need and work out a plan from there! On weekdays I can possibly do drop ins before and after work for cats, so just drop me a message to check dates that aren’t available on my calendar. I believe all pets are different in terms of what they need when their pet parents are away or busy. Sometimes this is a change of environment and other times it’s home stays. Unfortunately since I am in rented accommodation I cannot provide overnight stays, but I can walk dogs and do drop ins for a variety of pets. I can also house sit during the day. Due to my own pet responsibilities, overnight house sitting is not ideal.
