About: Over 10 years of experience caring for animals and have had cats for most of my life. I currently have two cats of my own and previously had three, so I completely understand how important pets are as part of the family. I’m regularly recommended by family members to help care for their cats, including feeding, setting up automatic feeders, cleaning litter trays, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I’m experienced with cats of all ages, from playful kittens to elderly cats who need extra patience and care. I’m confident handling day-to-day pet care, administering lots of cuddles, and even dealing with the occasional mouse or bird adventure! I genuinely love animals and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my routine alongside my full-time job, as I work flexible shifts. Some days I finish early at 3:30pm, while later shifts start at 1:30pm, giving me availability before or after work. I also have regular days off and one weekend off each month, allowing extra flexibility for pet care. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping to their usual routine. My two boy cats are fed twice a day and always get a treat before bed. They are outdoor cats, and we keep a window open year-round for them. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I will always follow their instructions carefully to ensure their fur babies stay happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: Hi my name is Anna :) I simply adore all animals and do believe a home is not a home without one. I cant think of anything better than to be curled up on a sofa with a doggy by my side. Having recently lost my Mini Schnauzer Mutley earlier on this year I now feel ready to put all my love and care into something as rewarding as this. In the last few years I have had 4 Mini Schnauzers one of which was a rescue from Battersea (Missy) She came to me a scared nervous dog who had never even seen grass or been on a lead and struggled being in the same room. She eventually after a little time blossomed into the sweetest poppet and lost her fears and lived the life she so truly deserved. I can honestly say it was the most rewarding thing I have ever done. I dearly love all animals and want you to know they would receive the best care ❤️ in my company. A truly pampered pooch ! X I am currently at home so able to give full commitment to your pet. I have a completely fenced off back garden in a fairly quiet area. I have a fenced off back garden in a reasonably quiet area. My home is their home and I would allow them everywhere in the house.

“Alicia was a really good sitter. She was flexible and super good with my cats. Sent me pictures and updates what’s happening with them. I’ll definitely book another time with her again.”

“She was able to commit on short notice and was liked by even the most picky of our pets. They were super happy and barely noticed we were gone. She also responded to messages in a timely manner and it really helped put our minds at ease.”

About: I live in Basingstoke with my family and have been in the UK since 2003, having grown up in South Africa. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I can’t imagine a home without pets in it. I share my home with one awesome little Jack Russell who is truly the centre of my heart and my family’s world. Growing up with pets has taught me how important they are as family members, not “just animals,” and I understand the love, patience, and care they deserve. I’m fortunate to work from home, which means I’m always around for my children and our fur baby. This also allows me to offer reliable, attentive care for other people’s precious companions. I have the time, availability, and genuine passion to help give pets the care, comfort, and attention they need while their owners are away. I work flexible hours from home and do the daily school run, but outside of that I’m available for pop-in visits, walks, daycare (at my home or yours), and overnight boarding — both during the week and at weekends. Pets in my care are treated as part of the family and looked after in a calm, safe, and loving environment. I live in a family home with children who are kind, gentle, and used to being around animals, as well as our friendly 1-year-old Jack Russell, who is well socialised and loves having company. All interactions are always supervised to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe. In my home, pets are never left alone for long periods and their routines are kept as close as possible to what they’re used to, including feeding times, walks, play, and rest. My home is clean, secure, and pet-safe, with plenty of space for relaxation and play. I carefully consider each booking to ensure it’s a good fit for a home environment and introduce pets slowly and thoughtfully. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I’m respectful, reliable, and follow all instructions closely to maintain consistency and trust. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone else, so I treat every animal as if they were my own and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: I grew up with dogs and have been a proud dog owner for the past three years. I also regularly care for friends’ and family members’ dogs during both short visits and longer stays, looking after dogs ranging from young puppies to older adults. As the owner of a senior dog myself, I understand the specific needs of dogs in their retirement years and take a calm, patient, and thoughtful approach to their care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and love playing with them daily. I make sure they get the right amount of exercise and mental stimulation, using games, training prompts, and exploration to keep them active, happy, and healthy. For me, dog care is about building trust, routine, and lots of tail wags. I work remotely and am able to take dogs from 9am Friday through to 7pm Monday. As a dog owner regular walks and toilets breaks are built into my day and I’ve always go time for play and enrichment games. I live in a flat (3rd floor with lift - no balcony) with a calm relaxed older dog who loves company. Whilst I have no garden I have access to green space for toilet trips and sniffy walks. At weekends I like to visit a private secure dog walking field to give the dogs a good run around before heading home for some cuddles. I have a crate if required and for travelling (to a secure field) I have a boot guard or dog seatbelt as required.

“Jessica was amazing, my cats were very happy and well looked after. Jessica clearly loves animals and is amazing with cats, one of mine is a bit shyer than the other but they clearly felt comfortable and cuddly with her.”

“Leila was brilliant. We have not left our two cats with a 'stranger' before and were a little nervous about it tbh for both the cats and the sitter. No need to worry with Leila, she sent a contact summery everyday to us with pictures and real feedback. Leila's perseverance with one particularly shy cat paid off after a couple of days, they became friends and I don't think Dave has ever made friends with anyone other than us! We're really grateful for her care in our home and arriving home to two happy cats is just the best feeling.”

About: I have loved and cared for dogs my entire life. I grew up rescuing stray dogs and giving them a safe place, food and love. Over the years I have cared for many different breeds, from small playful dogs to large strong ones. I am calm, patient and attentive to every dog’s personality and needs. For me dogs are not just pets – they are family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and being active outdoors. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate proper time and attention to each pet I care for. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings when needed. When I look after a pet, I make sure they receive enough exercise, attention, and companionship. I never rush walks and always adapt the time and activity to the dog’s needs and energy level. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority. I treat every dog as if it were my own. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and properly supervised at all times. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and any instructions given by the owner so they feel secure and relaxed. Even though I live in an apartment, I make sure dogs receive plenty of outdoor time, exercise, and fresh air through regular walks and visits to nearby parks. I keep a calm and clean environment and always focus on building trust with both pets and their owners.

About: I have a rescue dog of my own called Womble. I found him in Kosovo, and a kitten called Gigi and we 3 lived in a brown bear sanctuary for 2 weeks together before I eventually got Womble home to the UK and Gigi found a home with a family in the mountains. I have lots of experience caring for cats and dogs, and wild animals too. I currently live in a flat so until I move into a house Womble is living with my parents in Bristol and I really miss animal company. I currently work 3 days in the office and 2 days from home and often have an evening or a day over the weekend free. My hours are flexible so perfect for taking an extra long lunch or finishing early for some pet sitting. I walk everywhere and love exploring the parks and green spaces where I live to get my steps in. My flat is calm with our neighbourhood being very quiet with cars rarely coming past. We don’t have a garden but lots of local parks and green spaces for a walk.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, especially dogs and cats, and over the years I’ve built a strong foundation of hands-on experience and knowledge in animal care. I hold a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management and I’m also a dog handler in the military reserves, which has given me a high level of discipline, responsibility, and confidence working with dogs of all temperaments. I have my own German Shepherd, so I naturally have a soft spot for larger, high-energy breeds and understand the level of exercise, structure, and stimulation they need. I’m very passionate about animal welfare and always provide a safe, enriching, and positive experience for every pet in my care. Alongside this, I have a strong understanding of dog behaviour and experience in training dogs to a high standard. I aim to reinforce good habits on every walk, from lead manners to calm social interactions - helping make life easier and more enjoyable for both dogs and their owners. As well as furry companions, I’m also experienced in exotic pet care. I have 8 reptiles of my own, so I’m very confident handling and caring for a variety of species, making me a great option for multi-pet households. I am a full-time dog walker/pet sitter so have all the time in the world for your fluffy friends! I do however attend one weekend a month for my military dog handler role but I'm sure I'll be able to fit you in around that! I offer in-home pet care through house sitting, so your pets can stay happy and relaxed in the comfort of their own space. I really value creating a calm, safe environment and I treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own. I naturally like to keep things clean and organised, so helping out with household tasks is never a problem. I always like to go the extra mile, I always aim to go the extra mile, so you can return to a home that feels just as clean - if not cleaner than you left it, with your pets happy, settled, and well cared for.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a child, both my own and those of friends, neighbors, and family. I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and personalities, whether it’s for walks, cuddles, feeding, or giving medicine. I always treat pets like part of the family and love building trust with them. Your pup will be safe, loved, and happy with me! I currently work 2 hours a day in the evenings , so I have lots of flexibility and time to care for your pets! I’m available most weekdays and I can also do weekends and evenings. I love spending time outdoors with dogs and giving them the attention they deserve. I have a large, secure garden where dogs can safely run, sniff and explore daily. I also have 1 very friendly golden retriever who loves company. Your pet will be cared for with love and attention in a calm, safe environment. I can follow any special instructions you provide and crate your dog if needed.

“Freya did regular drop in visits with our very young puppy for a few weeks and she was absolutely brilliant. From the meet and greet Freya was very professional, respected every request and routine we wanted for our puppy, and communicated effectively every day with updates of how he had been. On top of this, she took top quality photos of him which we will treasure forever. Thank you Freya”

We have a large, quiet home with a small enclosed backyard patio. We are a short walk away from Eastrop Park, which has lovely routes for dog walking. We are also near War Memorial Park which offers even more open space. Our home is safe for pets, and they will never be unsupervised.

About: I've kept pets all my life and I adore them, inc Cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, tropical fish. I enjoy the company of animals and taking walks with my seven year old dog Charlie. In a previous job role I received an award from Hampshire police, for community safety and worked closely with the local dog warden and RSPCA to ensure the safety and welfare of animals. I am working but I can take your dog with me if you wish as I have private space, inside and outdoors. I am available for house sitting too and can be flexible to accommodate individuals needs and requirements. I only take one dog at a time, with the exception of dogs living in the the same household, therefore I can commit to giving your pet/s all my attention. I have a private fenced garden so your pet can roam free, alternatively I can come to your home to care for your pet/s, take for walks, let a cat in or out, and make sure they have food, water and lots of attention, including reptiles, fish, small animals etc. I have my own dog Charlie, he does spend time with my daughter as we part share him so if your dog isn’t dog friendly please let me know I will ensure your dog is alone during his/her stay.

About: I have grown up with pets my whole life, and regularly look after friends and families pets. I know how nervous a lot of pets can be if they have to go into a kennel/cattery and so i enjoy providing flexible pet sitting where they can stay in the comfort of their own/my home. As well as feeding your pets, ensuring they have plenty of water, emptying the litter tray/taking them out for loo breaks, I will also play with/walk them, fuss them, brush them and administer any required medicine. I will also gladly send regular updates/pictures to let you know how they are doing as I know how much I worry when I’m away! I work full time but am able to work hybrid and so I can make plenty of time to care for your pet(s). I drive and have my own car so can easily get to and from pet sitting jobs and on short notice. I am also available for boarding (cats only) on weekends. I will always ensure your pet is well fed, watered, taken for loo breaks/cat litter emptied, fussed and played with. I will gladly spend time with them and administer any medication they may require. I live in a quiet cul-de-sac away from roads and noise. I have a private fenced garden with woods behind it which provides plenty of bird watching opportunities for cats! I have two friendly cats which can keep yours company, and I also have a spare bedroom which is kitted out with beds, blankets, scratch post and toys etc. so the cats can be kept separate if needed.

About: I grew up with a big, silly Irish Red Setter who was truly part of the family. He set the bar for how fun, gentle and full of personality dogs can be and we still laugh about his antics today. In recent years I’ve looked after friends’ and family’s dogs while they’ve been away, making sure they’re fed, walked, played with and properly cared for. I absolutely love going on long walks, so having a four-legged pal to join me is always a joy. I’m a naturally caring person and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy and like they’re having their own little holiday too.
