Cat Sitting in Babergh

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’m experienced with many types of dogs and equipped to deal with any medical needs. I am a very active individual so plenty of walks available! I’ve grown up around animals and have looked after all kinds of animals - from alpacas to horses, I’ve done it! I currently work 8-4pm mon - Friday but my working hours / days are very flexible. I can work from home when required to be flexible. I am a trustworthy individual used to looking after and caring for other peoples pets, as well as my own. My life is very flexible so timings are not a problem.

“Excellent sitter, Angus was very well looked after during my trip away. I also appreciate your quick response when I had this urgent request to take care of him last minute.”

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.

“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”

“Tania was a wonderful cat sitter for us whilst we went away, she came in at short notice, did everything we asked, did her best to bond with our 2 cats despite them being very shy around new people. The daily updates were perfect & put us at ease as we had never used a service like this before. Cannot recommend Tania enough :)”

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’m an experienced in-your-home pet and house-sitter (day and night) - which I enjoy and love to do at the same time! Read on to find out more about me and see if I’m a good match for you :) I’ve been lucky to have pets to love and care for all my life and having a pet is something I really miss (I can't have a pet of my own due to where I live). After taking early retirement I'm just not ready to slow down and this means I have loads of time and love to give to your pets! I find the love and affection from animals so rewarding which is why in the absence of my own I decided to become a pet-sitter - starting out with sitting for friends and family and expanding from there. I've always had dogs - and many other pets along the way like cats, rabbits, hamsters, budgies and lots of tropical fish! Two of my most beloved dogs were rescues. I've had Corgis, German Shepherds, Labradors and mixed breeds. I now have a delightful - and cheeky - Mini Dachshund “grand-pup”! I’ve cared for many dog breeds (Springers, Cockers, Lurchers, Bichon Frise, Mini Poodles, Chihuahuas, Yorkshire Terriers, Collies, Podencos, Dachshunds and more!) and many with different needs - young, old, small, large, cross-breed, rescue, pedigree and those with medical conditions and special and / or senior needs. I’ve also looked after many cats (indoor and outdoor) and other pets. I’d love you to check out my photo gallery of my own precious pets and those that I’ve cared for. I have no work commitments but I do the occasional craft fair and enjoy visiting friends and family. I have lots of availability throughout the whole week. I offer pet sitting for the day, evenings and overnight. I’m an in-your-home pet-sitter, I will travel to you and look after your pet in your home - and also look after your home at the same time. I can ensure your dog gets lots of stimulation and movement within your home space and garden. I will never leave your dog alone in your home unless you specify that this is OK and normal for them. I know how hard it can be to trust someone with your beloved pet and know very well how special and very unique the needs of pets can be - I want to reassure you there is no silly request or need I won’t understand. With lots of house-sitting under my belt, I pride myself in how I treat other’s homes and precious things like their pets and home security. I am happy to spend time introducing myself and getting to know you and your pets and to travel to you. I am flexible to your needs and how you like communication to be - happy to follow all guidelines and requirements for your pets and home and to send you updates and photos as regularly as you’d like. "Qualifications and Checks" - Clear and recent DBS check (can be provided upon request). - Personal insurance cover above Rover’s insurance provision (can be provided upon request). - Currently obtaining Canine First Aid Certified and Comprehensive. - Personal references can be provided.

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.

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.
