Cat Sitting in Bassetlaw

About: I have always had dogs in my life, they are a massive part of my life and I have always been told I am naturally great with them and I am currently at university studying to be a veterinary physiotherapist. I have experience walking, feeding and caring at home as my mum has her own business in the Uk. I also have good knowledge about puppies and care as my mum has bred in the past with my help. On Island I have looked after peoples dogs from my house and their house, I have also done walks and feeding. My family have dogs of our own so I know how important their care is when us owners are away or at work. While I am at home in the summer and holidays I would love to keep doing what I love and caring for these beautiful animals. From October until May I will be studying at Uni so during non study hours I would love to be working with animals. My routine will vary and I will be free on weekends so we can find the best dates and times for you. When looking after a pet in someone else’s home I will ask about where the animal sleeps and eats along with details like how many walks they get, any places they like to go (I have a dog safe car with dog seatbelts) and anything else of importance.

“Kayleigh had drop it visits for 7 days for my 2 boy cats whilst I was on holiday. I was really anxious about leaving my boys as I had never done so before, but Kayleigh made it a lot easier by giving me daily updates and pictures which put me at ease. I would 100% use Kayleigh again if I ever need to in future. Thanks again Kayleigh!!”

About: I’ve grown up with animals and currently have one dog and three cats, so caring for pets is just part of my everyday life. I’m used to the little messes, the different personalities, and the routines that come with them, and I genuinely enjoy it. Being around animals feels natural to me, and I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable handling whatever comes up. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I’ve recently graduated from university and am currently based at home, which means I have a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout most of the week and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for pets, whether that’s regular check-ins, longer stays, or last-minute needs. While I’m not able to board pets in my own home, I’m very happy to care for them in the place they feel safest in your home. I understand how important it is for pets to stay in their usual environment and routine, especially when their owners are away. I can stay in your home to provide consistent care and companionship, or carry out regular check-ins to make sure they’re fed, comfortable, and doing well. I’ll always treat your home and your pets with respect, and make sure you feel updated and reassured while you’re away.

About: I’m passionate about giving dogs more than just a quick walk. I believe exercise, structure and positive social experiences are key to a happy, balanced dog. I’ve cared for dogs for many years and I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes, especially larger breeds. Whether your dog prefers solo walks, playtime, confidence building or companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, stimulated and well looked after. I have a flexible schedule and dedicate a large part of my week to dog walking, sitting and enrichment activities. I’m available for solo walks, socialisation walks, home visits, daytime care and overnight stays throughout the week and weekends. I enjoy giving dogs structured exercise, mental stimulation and calm companionship rather than just a quick walk around the block. I’m reliable, communicative and happy to work around your dog’s usual routine to keep them comfortable and settled. Your dog’s safety, comfort and wellbeing are always my priority. I provide a calm, structured environment and make sure every dog is supervised as though they were my own. I’m experienced with larger breeds and confident handling dogs with different temperaments and energy levels. I always respect owners’ routines, feeding instructions and walking preferences, and I keep communication open with regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is in safe hands.

“Charlotte was fantastic with our cat, Maggie - she gave us regular updates & really put our minds at ease, she can be quite a nervous cat but seemed really settled when we arrived home, like we’d never been away! Thank you Charlotte! Xx”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and love spending time with and taking care of them. My sister has German Shepherds who I often pet sit for, caring for them and walking them regularly for her. I have always worked in a caring profession which I absolutely love and I currently work in as a Teaching Assistant in a primary school. I believe I have a calm, caring nature and have a lot of understanding, resilience and patience working with 30 small children in the classroom on a daily basis; I care for animals just as much as I care for the children I work with! Due to my current job role I am available from around 4:30pm to 9pm Monday to Friday. I am available all day on weekends. Due to me working term time I have a lot of availability in the school holidays. I’m happy to help out in any way I can and will follow your wishes and instructions on how you would like me to care for your pet in the best way possible.

“Chloe is great, she really cares about the service she offers and was super attentive with my separation anxiety-ridden shih tzu puppy! I'd definitely recommend her! :)”

“Sue dropped by to look after our two cats after our original plans fell through and we needed someone urgently. We’re so thankful that Sue was able to work around our times at such late notice. We also got updates from visits and everything was left tidy for when we got back, thank you!”

About: I have grown up with a variety of animals my entire life, all varying in ages and sizes. I currently provide pet sitting and walking in addition to my current full time job for friends and family. This includes looking after my sister’s 10 month old puppy and training where possible. I am currently working full time Monday to Friday in a college. With my weekends free, I work from home on Mondays and Fridays which allow me to pet sit on these days. With my job I sometimes do overtime which allows me to book off additional days for pet sitting should I need to. I prefer looking after pets in the pet owners home as I believe pets deserve to feel at home and safe, what safer space is there for them than a space they live in. I will provide the upmost care and respect in your home, I am also DBS checked

“Gypsy is an absolute sweetheart! I felt so safe knowing she was taking care of my babies for me! Gypsy gave the most incredible and cute updates about my cats while I was away. I’m so thankful to have had such a lovely and caring sitter! Highly recommend their service❤️”

About: Ive had animals in my family since i can remember and I'd say I have experience dealing with any size and age in a dog. I have 3 dogs myself and i've had them since they were puppies i also look after Cats and Dogs for family and friends. Animals play a big part in my life and they're my family. I'd be more than happy to take care of your pets and treat them as my own. Exercise, play, food or just company i'll be there for your pets :) Hi!! My name is Zuzanna i currently work part time but that doesn't stop me from making plenty of time for my fur babies. I have 3 dogs and I love them very much, they are a lot of work (especially my Cockapoo) however i make sure they always get the best care possible and no matter what animal you have I will treat like my own. I have three dogs my self which is why i don't offer boarding, however we have a pretty big garden and a high fence. If i was looking after your pets i would let them outside every hour, make sure they always have water and are fed. I'd also keep up with any training requirements for your dog for example crate training. I will always try my best to meet your standards and follow whatever rules you have as it is your home.

“Sarah is super calm and relaxed, our rescue dog Hazel is a bit anxious around new people but Sarah put her at ease and looked after her for us with plenty of updates and photos. Thanks so much Sarah! xx”

About: lost my beloved soul dog in Jan 2024 and so am looking to help out other pawrents who need their fur babies looking after!! And of course in return I get to be in the company of furry friends who we all know are the best company! I absolutely love animals and dogs especially and know from experience how worrying it can be leaving them behind for trips etc and so would love to be able to offer the reassurance that your pet would be well and truly spoilt in my hands! I am a very reliable person and will follow any requirements or instructions to the letter as they’re your babies and you know them best. Prices can be negotiated as although I am skint, ultimately all I need is some doggy cuddles and the money is just a bonus if it’s there😂 Please don’t hesitate to get in touch and we can have a chat :) xx I’m a psychology student who is obviously not at uni for the summer and although I have a part time job, id much rather be looking after your pets!! I am unable to have pets in my current living situation however I’m more than happy to allow your dog to be looked after in its own home which I think also allows your dog to feel safe in its familiar surroundings even when they may feel strange that you’re not there.

“Milly was a fabulous cat sitter for our two cats😃. She was very patient with them as they were a bit scared. Gave us daily updates as to how they were 😃. Highly recommend millys service 5 out of 5 🌟”

A selection of the breeds we've had are as follows Kangol, German Sheperds, Leonberger, Border Collie, Romanian Sheperds and Golden Retrievers. My daily routine is geared around my pet customers so please ask and I will do whatever it is to fit you in. I deliver a custom service based upon their individual needs. I will ensure your dogs maintain their current routine and base everything I do around my discussions with yourself. I would look to meet your dogs prior to looking after them so they know me and wouldn't be worried that I was there with them.

About: Hi! 👋 A little bit about me…I’ve grown up with animals in my life and have had pets since age of 5. Growing up on a farm, I’ve always naturally had an affinity for animals. I have experience looking after kittens, puppies, cats as well as dogs. I have been trusted to dog sit for friends and family for most of my adult life, but have been doing so professionally for the last few years. If you have any questions at all - feel free to message me. I currently work from home so have now got increased capacity to make weekly trips to look after other peoples pets. Hence I am opening my availability up to provide care for more pets. Caring for each pet is different and I am more than happy to meet requirements of each pet’s specific needs and routine alongside providing a watchful eye and fulfilling their personal interactive needs such as cuddles/petting, treats, and continuing their training as requested.
