Cat Sitting Babergh

“I couldn’t recommend Harriet enough! My three boys (cats) are very needy and absolutely love their cuddles, so they’re usually not very happy when we go away. But they were so content and settled with all the love and attention Harriet gave them. It was such a relief knowing they were in such caring hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Harriet and will definitely be using her again! 🐾❤️”

About: I’m a dog mum to my Dalmatian, Winston and have experience owning Border collies, German Shepherds and a Rhodesian Ridgeback previously, so I’m very used to energetic dogs, long walks, lots of play and all the chaos that comes with them! I’ve grown up around dogs and absolutely love spending time with them. I’m confident with feeding, walking, playtime and keeping dogs company and I’ll always treat your dog like I would my own. I’m currently offering pet care at weekends, when I have plenty of time to give your dog lots of attention, company, walks and playtime. I love spending my weekends out walking with my own dog, Winston, so another four-legged friend joining us fits perfectly into our routine! If walking along with my dog Winston he is very friendly and has been socialised to other dogs and cats from birth. Or if you would prefer i can care for you dog on a 1-1 basis without Winston.

“great communication, sent photos of our cat and she was well taken care of x”

“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: Ever since before I could walk, I was surrounded by animals. I grew up on a farm with cats, dogs, sheep, chickens, rabbits, guinea-pigs, goats, horses and every other animal you can imagine. I spent all my childhood training horses and trained our dogs in all the basics. If your pet has any special requirements, please let me know and if you need any help with training I am more than happy to assist. My current job means I'm not able to have the time for a pet of my own so I am looking to open my heart to help others and give your pet an abundance of care and affection. I love to hike and be outdoors so your pet will get all the exercise you would like them to have and lots hugs and affection. I currently work from home two days a week and am free most weekends. I am also available most evenings but this can be discussed on a case by case basis. I have a large two bedroom flat in the town centre. There are other pets on the same floor. Your pet will have full access around the flat and I can take them for regular potty breaks as well as a lunchtime and evening walk. If your pet is with me on the weekend I often go hiking, so please be aware of this and if this is not suitable for your pet please let me know. If I do take your dog out hiking and they get muddy I'm more than happy to give them a bath/shower afterwards as long as you advise if they have any skin allergies etc. If your pet has any medical requirements etc I'm more than happy to discuss this on a case by case basis.

“Chell is absolutely fabulous. We feel totally at ease when we are away and Chell is looking after our cats. She also sends pictures and updates on how they are getting on.”

“Tania was absolutely wonderful! She came to check on Simba for 3 days and took great care of him. She was reliable, caring, and made sure he received all his medication on time. I really appreciated the regular pictures and updates, which gave me great peace of mind. I would happily recommend Tania and would definitely trust her to look after Simba again. Thank you so much, Tania! ❤️”

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.

“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’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’ve always had many animals, I have been looking after friends and families dogs for years. I’ve rescued everything from cat to chickens. I’ve looked after horses and worked on farms. I have hand reared kittens. I have extensive cat experience, having rescued pregnant cats and cats that had been left and were very timid. I have walked dogs of all kinds and sizes. I am available at any time for walking and drop in visits. I can pretty much do any time, any day. I’m very flexible and work for myself from home. So my day if mine to organise I normally care for pets in their own homes but I can care for them at mine. I’ve popped into houses up to three times a days and I am pretty flexible with what works for your pets

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have been caring for pets since I was around 10 years old. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, as well as pets of different ages, personalities and routines. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person looking after your pets, so I always take the time to understand their normal routine, likes, dislikes and any individual needs. I work from home, which gives me lots of flexibility and means I can spend plenty of time with the animals in my care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m happy to follow feeding and walking routines, provide lots of playtime and attention, and of course give plenty of cuddles to pets who want them! My aim is for your pet to feel safe, settled and loved while you’re away and for you to be able to relax knowing they’re in good hands. I work from home which gives me much larger availability to care for my own animals and to give me time to care for others. I live at home with my mum so thankfully we also have someone in for my dogs/cats and I am able to do the same for someone else. I work full-time from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day. I can easily work pet care around my schedule, including regular feeding, toilet breaks, walks, playtime and lots of company. This also means pets in my care won’t be left alone for long periods. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll follow their usual routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, medication, walks and household rules. I make sure their environment is secure and pay close attention to their behaviour so I can spot if anything seems unusual. I also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.

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. There’s two adults in the household , and we have a small child of 6 months who use to all sorts of animals. Your pet will be with someone at all times. Fenced in medium garden. Will do my best to Tailor to their needs as they receive at home. They will be kept on a leash when on walks.
