Cat Sitting in Bassetlaw

“Diane has been walking my dogs for a few years now, they absolutely love her. She is always on time and has never let me down, They also stay with her while I’m away, and always come home happy and healthy. Diane is a very lovely person and you can just tell she really loves animals.”

About: With a lifelong passion for animals and five years of cherished companionship with my own dog, I am well-versed in the joys and responsibilities that come with pet ownership. As an avid horse rider and a trusted caretaker for my neighbours' dogs, I have honed my skills in providing tender love and attentive care to our furry friends. My unique work schedule, consisting of four days on and four days off, grants me the flexibility to be fully available during my four-day sets to devote myself entirely to your beloved pets. I understand the importance of flexibility when it comes to pet care, and I am more than happy to discuss scheduling arrangements to accommodate your needs and preferences. When your pets stay with me, they will have access to a haven of fun and exploration. My fully fenced, decently sized garden offers the ideal space for playful romps and energetic frolics, ensuring they get the exercise they need. Additionally, a large private field nearby provides ample room for adventure and enjoyable walks. Surrounded by a plethora of dog-friendly walking routes in my area, your furry companions will experience a variety of scents, sights, and experiences, keeping their tails wagging and their minds stimulated.

“Gear friendly, reliable service, from someone who cares about dogs. I would not trust my dogs to anybody, but I do with her as she understands dog behaviour”

“Fantastic communication I will use Ciara again Thankyou so much 🥰🥰”

“Athene was great! Would highly recommend. She was very dependable and reliable. Athene also noticed a skin rash on Ivy which was very observant of her and offered to take her to the vet which is really going above and beyond. We loved the pictures she took and we will certainly use her again without hesitation!”

About: I have looked after dogs as part of my family since I was young. I love having my dogs around me and walking with them. I have experience of dealing with any age of dog from puppies and training to older senior dogs and the things they can get up to. I work full time but if I'm dog boarding I will be at home to spend my time with the dogs. I am available most weekends from Friday and bank holidays .. Other days by arrangement. I live on a farm with plenty of exercise space, walks and a river if they are partial to water. Dogs will be supervised by me while staying. I am able to provide a crate if your dog is used to using one I work full time Monday to Friday so I am available at weekends to look after dogs and weekdays on arrangement. I keep my calendar updated with any other information I have a secure garden and live on a farm so there are plenty of open spaces for walking and play. Dogs are allowed to make themselves at home and I hope to make them as comfortable as possible during their stay

About: I’ve taken care of pets since the age of 16, mostly indoor cats, corn snakes, hamsters/gerbils & rats. I have 3 indoor cats, a Labrador & 2 fish. One of my cats is blind & has a replacement hip & back issues (all genetics), so I’m used to spoiling him & accommodating his medical requirements. The other 2 cats are younger & very fun & loving. I’ve had them all since kittens. They’re aged 7, 5 & 2. My Labrador is currently 8 months old. I feel I understand animals, their body language, what ‘normal’ behaviour is (I’ve had loads of cats growing up & each has been different!) & I’m good at picking up on any problems or mood changes. I’m sensitive to animals & their behaviour, never forcing them to come near me or doing anything they’re uncomfortable with. I’ll do anything to ensure the animals are happy & comfortable. I’ve got experience training my puppy Labrador & understand the requirements of puppies, so I’m happy to care for a puppy. Our Labrador attends gun dog training so I’d say I have an ‘above basic’ level of understanding of obedience training & happy to utilise this in dog walks if requested by you. I’m fully insured & have a diploma in pet first aid & animal CPR. Certificates available to view on request. I work a flexible part time job & happy to attend visits before & after work. I can make availability on weekends too, preferably early morning &/or late evening. Let me know your requirements & I will try my best to accommodate your pets. I will never commit if I can’t deliver the service. I request to meet your pets in your home prior to any care, drop ins or dog walks. This is to ensure I’m right for you, & you’re right for me. Once we’re all happy, I’d request you to complete a client pack. This consists of 5 forms & includes details of your pet, age, feeding details, habits, normal behaviour, any medication that needs issuing etc. It will also include your emergency contact info, vet release form incase your pet needs urgent vet care (this will always be run by you first). I will act as a temporary mum in your absence & follow your guidance & instruction. I’m happy to send photo’s & a video of your pet every visit to set your mind at ease & regular updates to reassure they’re okay. I know how it feels leaving animals with animal carers so this wouldn’t be a problem. If you have any questions about my care, please feel free to ask.

“Nathan is such a kind, caring and fun loving soul weather it be towards animals or humans and I would absolutely and do absolutely trust him with our pets. Nathan understands the importance of routine, love, fun and exercise your pet will need. He is an extremely trustworthy and honest person with a huge amount of integrity. Nathan often cares for our puppy and keeps a diary of all the activities he's done with him including, naps, feeding and toileting. He has done research in order to give him the best environment and the correct routines. When our puppy sees Nathan, he gets so excited and you can truly see what Nathan means to our puppy, it's beautiful to see.”

“Sophia did an amazing job of looking after my two cats Toby and Leo whilst I was away. She provided photos every day and have them a little treat on her final day”

“I have known Sarah for about 8 years and I can say she is one of the most kind and caring people I have met, I had a cat who I loved dearly and due to personal reasons I had to find him a new home he could be a challenging cat at times, but Sarah offered to take him and love and care for him, as sad I was I knew that he would be looked after and he has settled in so well. Sarah often sends me pictures of him and he looks very happy and content. I can highly recommend Sarah to look after your precious pets and would trust her 100% to look after, care and love them like her own”
