Cat Sitting Babergh

About: Ive worked with animals in a variety of settings including rescues, shops and even the zoo, so have extensive experience with a variety of different kinds of animals, whether it be furry, feathered or scaly I am confident with looking after them. I have done a few sitting jobs already. I am comfortable with reptiles and also have some training experience, so would be happy to aid in the training of any young pets. Currently available all the time. I am looking for a full time job so this availability might change but at the moment I have no major commitments I make sure to follow owners instructions as closely as possible and I double check everything to make sure pets are safe, secure and above all they are happy

“An absolute wonderful experience. Never used it before but it was so lovely to go out for the day knowing my doggies would be happy to. Thank you Toni!”

“Charlotte was brilliant and so wonderful with Rusty, it was the first time we have left him and had someone come in to see him and let him out. Even though he was a little nervous Charlotte communicated with me straight away and encouraged him gently out into the garden for a wee and a play. Charlotte communicated with me the whole time she was with Rusty and really reassured me that he was okay! Thank you for being so lovely and brilliant with Rusty”

About: I grew up with dogs of all shapes and sizes, from Jack Russell's to border Collies. In recent years I've looked after dogs for friends and family. I have experience with puppies, dogs with arthritis (requiring pushing in a pram), dogs on restricted diets, administering medication and of course lots of cuddles and walks if welcomed! I work from home full time so my schedule is completely free and flexible for regular walks and toilets breaks. It's unlikely your pet will be left on their own. I live with my parents who are also dog friendly, they aren't home during the day but are around in the evening, so plenty of company if your pet wants it! Equally, the house is big enough that they can have some alone time if thats their preference. I have a medium sized enclosed and secure garden. In the summer the door can be left open for pets to come and go as they please. For boarding requests, I live with my own dog (Otis) who is a 10-year old French basset cross. He's friendly (if uninterested) in other dogs. We can introduce your pet to Otis at the meet and greet and ensure they get on. Otis is used to having other dogs stay and is very chill. He is neutered.

“Tania has been the most amazing cat sitter over the last couple of weeks. Words can't explain how grateful I am for her care and attention towards Mango. We arranged a meet and greet and everything clicked right away. Tania has been incredibly friendly and reliable. She has been accommodating to all of my requests, even those that were made at short notice. I highly recommend Tania and look forward to working with her again soon.”

About: I have been dog, cat, and house sitting since childhood! I have volunteered at SPCA and have always found or adopted my pets. I grew up with a golden retriever and several cats. My schedule is very flexible right now, as I recently relocated to bury st Edmund's. Hoping to make the most of my time by helping out others and getting to spend time with their furry family. I have spent many years caring for pets of friends and family in their homes. I've always felt that it's easier to keep them in their home where they are familiar and comfortable and I am the one who is in their space. They are already missing their parents (owners) no need to add more stress.

“Bethany made communication quick and easy. I was was anxious as it was the first time leaving my boisterous pup. The photos showed he had a great time and I felt well reassured. Will definitely be using Bethany again ☺️”

About: I have grown up with and always loved animals. I regularly look after dogs of varying breeds (and personalities) for friends and family which I absolutely love. My experience varies from stubborn Huskies to yappy Jack Russel's to needy Siamese cats while also loving my own boisterous Labrador. This also varies in age, from my own 1 year old Labrador who we have had since a puppy, to more senior dogs who prefer a slower pace of life. I am understanding of the fact that different breeds and ages have different needs and requirements when it comes to daily care and I am always happy to incorporate this into their daily routine. Please feel free to message me for anymore information or any questions you may have. I currently work from home on Tuesdays and Wednesdays so will be around all day. I have a Labrador of my own, so we are in the routine of letting the dog out regularly, providing two walks a day and doing regular check ins to make sure there is plenty of water and all needs are met. Our garden is fully enclosed so the dogs are able to venture in and out as they please. My Labrador is still crated at night, however if your dog does not require crating this is fine. During the day, you dog will never be left for more than two hours. They layout of our house is slightly different, with the living area being on the first floor. This may not always be the best for more senior dogs. If there is any issues with this then please let me know.

About: I have had dogs of my own for the last 12 years and have worked at kennels during this time, looking after several dogs with complex needs.

“I am feeling Extremely happy. Our Communication via the booking went extremely well. I met with Lucia prior to going away and we got on like a house on fire :-) My cats warmed to Lucia instantly and upon my return were extremely relaxed and happy, it was like I had never been away. Looking forward to booking Lucia in the near future.”

About: I have had all sort of animals from a young age, from cats & dogs, chickens, mice, budgies, bunnies & guinea pigs, hamster and horses!! My previous dog was a black Labrador who suffered with severe arthritis and was blind needing eye-drops and oral medication multiple times a day, so I would also be able to do this for your pet if needed. I love the outdoors and love exploring a forest or beach with some 4 legged friends. I have a dog-friendly 4x4 with plenty of space for all sizes, plus a ramp for those less agile pooches. On walks your dog will be walked singly, with other dogs of your household or I can bring Ozzy along for company - however you prefer! (Ozzy will stay at home for house visits) I currently work mon-fri 9-5 but am usually working from home so can supervise during the day. Walking in afternoons and evenings, and most weekends. Fenced back garden with CCTV covering the front and rear entrance as well as garden. Dogs will never be outside unsupervised. Dog freezer for those raw fed dog.

About: I’m a fun, caring animal lover who just wants the best for all animals! I currently volunteer at the Blue Cross and I’ve previously run a kennels & cattery so am confident with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes and breeds. I’ve also worked for 2 zoos - one a mobile zoo with smaller animals such as reptiles and meerkats and the other a large zoo with everything from penguins to zebras so I’m used to a whole host of animal traits and characters, as well as meeting their needs. My work is very flexible and I work from home most of the time - if I do need to go out I often take the dog/s staying with me along, so they can enjoy a walk somewhere new at the same time🙂 My approach to looking after your pets? With love! Having had my own dogs since I was a child and more recently lost my elderly Mastiff cross Bordeaux, I know what it’s like as an owner to leave your pet with someone else. I therefore aim to make both you and your pet as comfortable as can be while you’re away and am very flexible to meets yours and their needs.

About: I will protect your pet as my own every second they are in my care. With lots of fun and love guaranteed. I have a very caring nature with plenty of enthusiasm to take care your much beloved pet whist they are in my care, whether it’s lots of attention or lots of walks, it’s fun for me too! Both Cats and Dogs have been part of my life since I was a child. I naturally feel connected to animals and belive them to be more like family. I enjoy their company and will give your pet a loving environment while they are in my care. My routine is to usually to take dogs out for a walk almost immediately as I find they are much more at ease after a walk. It can help distract them from any possible separation anxiety and forms a bond and trust between me and them. As the owner you can feel at ease with your loved one in my care. With lots of updates and photos being sent your way on a daily basis. You can fully enjoy your time away knowing they are in good hands, safe and happy. Me and my partner look forward to hearing from you and hopefully getting to meet you all in the near future. -Ben My work schedule is flexible and will do my best to accommodate your needs.

About: I’ve always been surrounded by animals as I’ve grown up, unfortunately living in a flat and working full time I have not been able to have one of my own. However, I have looked after my friends pets and also used Borrow my Doggy so I could walk a dog and take care of one.
