Pet Sitting in Babergh

About: I have lived with dogs all my life I have owned a number of breeds myself I have trained all my dogs working on socialisation and off lead recall. Your training will be continued with me, to ensure continuity. Your dog will be treated like mine and will want for nothing. I have experience with senior dogs also I currently am at home full time. Depending on the length of time your dog is with me they will rarely be left alone. Max an hour if I need to pop out, which is rare as I will work my appointments etc around my availability. I have a fully 6FT plus fenced garden on all sides. It’s a large garden laid to lawn. Although the dog will not be left in the garden on their own for any particular time. I am surrounded by fields and walking trails. The dog has a general free roam of my house, unless you have restrictions and want these continued in my home (no upstairs, no furniture, crate etc) I will try and ensure your dogs routine is not disrupted whether I am in your house or mine.

About: Hello Future Four Legged Furry Friends, I have a ginormous love for dogs in all kinds of shapes and sizes from them being quiet, loud, boisterous, energetic, calm, sensitive, crazy, cuddler, independent and quirky. I just love how each dog/s are different! Just to tell you a little bit myself, I am deaf but have a Cochlear Implant which aids me to hear really well and can sign. I am loyal, fun, playful, reliable and a dedicated character which you can ensure my utmost trust and follow your rules if so. I love going on walks and have recently moved into my first house in Suffolk and a home is never a home without a dog! So do certainly miss having one as I have been brought up with dogs all my life in my family such as Boxers, Dalmatian & Jack Russells. I look forward to meeting your pooches. If there is anything you want to ask let me know :) Thanks for reading, Emily x

“Hannah was amazing! We decided to go away last minute and she made the process very quick and simple! We had photos of the cats after every visit which was great! Will be booking again when we have our next holiday!”

About: Looking for someone truly exceptional to care for your beloved pet? Look no further! As a self-employed pet professional, my aim is to make this much more than just a job; it's about providing the best life for my family, and that dedication shines through in every aspect of my work. With a DBS check, full insurance, and a stack of 5-star reviews from happy clients across multiple platforms (not just on Rover), you can rest assured your furry friend is in the safest hands. My passion for animals runs deep. Before dedicating my life to pet care here, I spent invaluable time working at Ukutula, a lion sanctuary in South Africa. There, I provided round-the-clock care to critically endangered animals, including lions, tigers, zebras, giraffes, and cheetahs. Imagine bottle-feeding lion cubs, helping them through the weaning process, and educating the public about their complex needs – that's the level of dedication and expertise I bring to every pet I care for. My background as a former primary school teacher further reinforces my trustworthiness and ability to provide a nurturing, responsible environment. My personal experience with animals is just as rich. I'm the proud owner of Harry, my rescue cat, whom I found, nursed back to health from an underweight, flea-ridden state, and provided urgent medical care. He's now 8 years old and flourishing! My own experience extends to having owned a springer spaniel and a greyhound, and I've had the pleasure of caring for a diverse range of breeds, including Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Cavapoos, Huskies, Border Collies, a Chihuahua, and many different cats. You can often find me at Crufts and other dog shows, learning new and exciting ways to engage your dog, and I have an extensive library of books dedicated to dog care, breeding, genetics, diet, and dog training (including assistance dog training). I am always growing and learning new things in order to successfully care for and nurture your pets. For the past two years, I've built a solid 5-star reputation on BorrowMyDoggy, another dog care website, consistently earning the trust of local owners to care for their dogs in their absence. Whether your dog needs an adventurous walk, your cat requires loving in-home care, or you're looking for a reliable pet sitter in your own home, I offer a range of services tailored to your needs. My drop-in visits are perfect for puppies who need extra attention or dogs who thrive on consistent check-ins. My unique background means I'm not just a pet sitter; I'm a seasoned animal professional who understands diverse animal behaviors and needs. I'm committed to providing your pet with the highest standard of care, ensuring they're happy, healthy, and loved while you're away. Ready to give your pet the exceptional care they deserve? Let's chat! Unlike other carers who may consider petsitting to be a side hustle, my high level of care and dedication to your animals is my number 1 priority. I'm a dedicated self-employed dog walker, pet sitter, and professional cat and dog carer. I'm working towards building a successful petcare business so that I can dedicate myself 100% to the care of your pets, and ultimately, give my primary school aged daughter a better life (a mum who is home all day caring for your precious pets instead of stuck at the office!). Unlike other carers who may consider petsitting to be a side hustle, my high level of care and dedication to your animals is my number 1 priority. When you choose me, you're choosing someone who can dedicate all their time and energy into loving, caring for, and understanding your every pet's need. I have a full library of dog training (including assistance dog training) manuals, breed specific dog care books, puppy care books, dog encyclopaedias, and cat care books that I read daily and my knowledge is growing exponentially through my dedication to animal husbandry, dog training, and cat care. Should there ever be problem with your pet under my care, I have access to the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers as well as multiple professional petcare networks for me to consult so that I can not only take better care of your pet, but also advise you on next steps. I'm available for dog walking Monday - Friday 9am - 2.30pm, and on evenings and weekends by request - ideal for those of you who are working and too busy for your buddy! For petsitting in your home, drop-ins, and dog training, I can be more flexible to fit your schedule - so just go ahead and ask. ABOUT ME I'm a former primary school teacher and I'm fully DBS checked - so your animals will be safely cared for under my watchful eye, wherever they are. Prior to training as a teacher, I worked in South Africa at Ukutula Lion Sanctuary, where I dedicated my life to the care of lions, cheetahs, tigers, giraffes, zebras and many other wild animals. I bottle fed lion cubs that had been abandoned by their mothers, nursed sick animals, and weaned the cubs onto meat once they were old enough, so that they could be rehabilitated and given a better life, safe from poachers at the sanctuary. Later, in Sri Lanka, I worked as an investigative journalist, assessing the care of elephants in the nation's elephant sanctuaries and zoos - and published my findings in The Sunday Island, the national newspaper of Sri Lanka. Disturbed by what I found, I reported the dank, concrete boxes that the animals were being kept in to the UK charity Born Free - who, a year later, rescued a lion and a black panther from their horrific conditions. After returning back to the UK, and finding that jobs for the zoologically inclined were few and far between, I trained as a primary school teacher. After a few years of teaching, my need to write called to me, and I fell back into journalism, PR, and marketing... but the love for animals never faded. I began dog walking and petsitting on BorrowMyDoggy for free for people in my local community - and I felt so much JOY from working with animals again. Friends and family began to ask me - and pay me - to care for their animals, and recommended me to their friends too. Now, I'm a dedicated self-employed pet professional, so your pet's care is my number 1 priority. YOUR PET'S SAFETY IS MY PRIORITY iPet Level 3 Dog First Aid qualified (coming soon) Fully insured 5 star reviews (on other sites, not just Rover) Experienced former animal sanctuary worker GPS tracking during dog walks Your dog is kept on-lead at all times (unless you give permission otherwise) RELIABLE, HONEST SERVICE If you choose me for dog walking, drop ins, or pet sitting within your own home, you can rest assured that I am fully insured to do so through my business insurance. My insurance also covers me for keys left in my care, meaning you do not need to be home in order for me to help your pets - just leave a key in a safe place (e.g. with a neighbour) and I will return it safely. If inviting me into your home I fully understand that it feels strange to have someone visit. However, I am not at all interested in anything other than your pets (I'm not interested in your personal belongings - and I wouldn't want to risk my business reputation). I've visited many homes when I worked for free via BorrowMyDoggy, and owners there trust me enough to just walk in when they are not home. When I walk your dog, especially for the first time, I can share my location data with you to give you peace of mind about where I have taken your dog. As my business expands, I will be investing in GPS trackers that I can place on your dog, just for additional safety and security. Should you wish to see any identification, please don't hesitate to ask. DOG TRAINING SESSIONS Also available when you book direct - just ask for details! BOARDING WITH ME ***Coming soon!*** Due to popular demand, I will be applying for all appropriate business licences and certifications to open my own home boarding business. I've been doing this for free for a couple of years via BorrowMyDoggy, but it's time to move on and find the perfect location to run this from. Please stay tuned for updates!

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’ve always loved being around animals and have gained some great experience over the years. I’ve worked with trained search dogs, which taught me a lot about understanding different behaviours and building trust. I also volunteer at a local rehoming centre, helping care for dogs with all kinds of personalities. At home, I have two lively cocker spaniels who keep me on my toes and remind me how important it is to give each pet the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I really enjoy making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well looked after I work part-time from home with a flexible shift pattern, so it’s easy for me to fit pet care around my schedule. I make sure any bookings get my full attention, and I love having animals as part of my daily routine. I offer drop-in visits to make sure pets are happy and well looked after in their own home. I’ll follow their normal routine — whether that’s feeding, topping up water, letting them out for a toilet break, or just giving them some company and attention. I always aim to keep things calm and reassuring, especially if a pet is shy or nervous. Every visit is tailored to what your pet needs to feel safe and settled while you’re away.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and been trusted with families and friends furry friends since I was very young. Giving dogs the attention they need to thrive is what makes me the happiest. Within my family we have a Working Cocker Spaniel, West Highland Terrier and a Cane Corso. I also grew up with a Burmese Mountain Dog and a Working Labrador - I have a lot of experience with different breeds and personality types. I’m currently working part time as a carer and eventually wanting to make dog walking and sitting my full time job. With my care work I work Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays all in the morning until 2pm. That makes me available every afternoon/evening and all day Thursdays and Saturdays. I will be sitting for your furry friends at your own property. I am DBS checked and am trusted by my clients to enter their homes and look after their pup. Home visits will include (if required) feeding, play and enrichment time. After walks I ensure your furry friend is clean and dry if they get mucky (no one wants a mucky house after a walk!)

“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.”
