“Natalia looked after our two cats with a couple of drop-in visits and was absolutely brilliant. Professional, dependable, and thoughtful—her updates kept us reassured throughout, and the cats were clearly happy and well cared for when we returned.”
About: I have taken care of several animals over the years, but have never been able to gain proper professional experience. However, since I have practice looking after a range of animals (horses, chickens, dogs, cats, fish), I would like to take the opportunity to further develop my knowledge. I am a university student living in the city centre, with a high availability to work during term time, on both weekdays and on weekends. Unfortunately I currently live in a student accommodation which does not allow pets, however in the summer I will be moving into my own house in which pets are allowed. For the time being I plan to keep pets entertained either in their own household or spending longer hours outside.
About: I am patient with dogs, but I will stop them from doing the wrong thing in time. I will use food to train dogs, such as sitting, shaking hands, lying down, etc. I am currently studying, and usually I have a lot of free time on Saturdays and Sundays, but I also have different periods of free time on Mondays and Fridays. My home is a two-room apartment, which is very large. And the apartment I live in is a pet-friendly apartment. Many residents here have their own pets. I believe your pet will have a good time in my home.
About: I have always grown up with big dogs so I am more than capable to care for them and tend to their needs, I am comfortable in looking after dogs of various sizes and ages. I have dog sat before and I am comfortable and certain that I can take care of dogs very well and have plenty of cuddles and play time with them! I do work full time however there are days where I work from home and could make arrangements to house sit in the week! I am available for house sitting from Friday evenings all through the weekend! I am also free after 5pm so I am more than happy to dog walk in the evenings or do drop in visits! I will always follow any guidance you give me about your dogs needs/feeding times/giving medication, and will make sure that your dog is in the safest hands possible. If I am dog sitting at your home I will make sure that your pet still feels comfortable with me there!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats the majority of my life. I’ve always had Dogs and believe they are our family. I have a special bond with animals as I genuinely love them. My neighbours and friends counted on me to babysit and walk their pets when they were on holiday. In Amsterdam , I was a part time pet sitter /walker for 5 years. I work part time from home so I have plenty of time to play and care for your pup. I’m available for walks daily and pet sitting the majority of the week. I can care for your pet according to your preferences. Just let me know what Works best for your pet and I’ll get it done. Along with tons of cuddles 🐶
“We booked Beatriz for home visits over a long weekend and she was wonderfully attentive to our 3 needy cats, as usual. She even managed to win over our big scaredy cat, Mickey. The frequent photos and videos meant we were truly able to relax. Would 100% book again and recommend!”
“Olga went above and beyond looking after my two cats! She was always punctual, very tidy, and sent detailed daily reports including many beautiful photos and videos. She is polite, responds very quickly and was happy to help with anything, including small house chores such as taking the bins out. The cats loved her and responded to her very well. I am very impressed by her services and competence and will definitely be using her as a cat sitter in the future. It has genuinely been a pleasure!”
About: I’ve been working in the veterinary industry for some time. I spent a lot of time around animals of all ages, and I’ve learned that even though they can’t talk, they have their own way of telling us what they need. I’m especially patient with senior pets who just need a slow pace and a gentle hand, as well as younger ones who are still figuring the world out. My approach is really just about being present and observant—I focus on sensing their mood and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I’m not a professional trainer, but I am a great listener when it comes to what your pet is 'saying' through their behavior. I only work 4 days a week. I have no extra commitments outside of work so that gives me extra time to take care of our furry friends. I do not own a pet so no need to worry about comparability, especially for our extra anxious friends. There are parks around my building and so they can have easy access to the greens.
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats of every kind since I was 13. I have 10 years experience playing with these pets, keeping them entertained and engaged. Family and friends have relied on me to feed and bathe their pets. I often take care of my parents’ cat when they are on holiday, as well as my friends’ 2 brand new lab puppies! I’m currently a music student at uni and teach part time, so I have all evenings and weekends free to walk your doggies and keep them healthy and well. I am looking for dogs and cats in the Edgbaston/Harborne area. I am also willing to drive up to 5 miles for repeat bookings. I am very much a floor carer, meaning I am engaged with the dogs and play with them as much as they need. I don’t believe in harsh words spoken towards dogs, so love and attention is the name of the game.
About: My professional experience has been gained through Rover! My dogs name is Sissy and she is a German shepherd X Collie mix. I have always had a passion for dogs, when walking in the street and I see other dog owners I knew it was my aspiration to become a pet sitter, it's not about the money for me, it's about providing a great experience for dog owners to be able to find someone reliable and trustworthy when they are in need. I give my dog her flea and worming treatment when it's needed and I also de-shed her as our poor carpet looks quite drastic sometimes! I feed her, ensure she has a full bowl of water and I walk her when we can due to her dog aggression, to cope with this I even take her to a private doggy play park! I've cared for my aunties and uncles frenchies before and I've also had a couple of drop in visits and House sittings! It fits into my daily routine because I do not work yet so I feel like I have a lot of time for any dog big or small! My dog is my number one priority and I wish to give my services to other dogs. Following on from university, my aspiration is to be a dog handler for the police so the more experience for me the better! I can help with training assistance if needed, I can feed your dogs, play fetch/chase and I often play hide and seek in my own house with my dog and I normally do every 30 minutes toilet break. Another pet owners home I treat the dog how I would treat mine, ours is a rescue so even though we have had her for a year we still need to be weary and very careful! I do not play rough with any dog and I respect their needs, this is because every dog is different and I believe inclusivity is key even with dogs.
About: I’ve grown up in a household with cats, fish, bunny's & dogs/puppy!I housesit & dogsit often for family, friends. And now strangers also from other sites!. I update owners frequently with photos, videos and texts so you know your pet is safe, looked after with attention and how they are feeling whilst your away! I love animals and see them as equals because they are! I currently work from my mobile within my own business running spirituality services to help,heal and guide others on their journey! I love to travel, look after things, people, plants & pets! Works out well! Bit of extra money whilst I start my business! I send photos, videos & texts to update the owner of how their pets time is. I am tidy, considerate, respectful towards both owners and their pets:) I love playtime and giving pets their well deserved attention whilst your away!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. My family home has never been without one. I have 2 dogs currently a 13yrs bichon frise cross and a 2yr old golden doodle cross living at my parents.

About: Currently apart of the ItsNotADogKennel Team, I’m a cat mom with two fur babies of my own so I’m confident handling cats of all ages, from tiny kittens to senior sweethearts. I’m comfortable giving them lots of love, keeping their space clean, and understanding their unique little personalities. On top of that, I have light hands on experience from helping in a reptile store and a bird store, which gave me basic knowledge and confidence around a variety of animals, from snakes and lizards to parrots and budgies. I’m always willing to learn more about different types of pets and their specific care needs. exploring my next steps in the animal care field. I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and I’m now looking to build more hands on experience while figuring out where I want to go long-term, I’m currently available full time and pretty flexible so whether it’s short notice, overnight stays, or longer term house sits, I’ve got the time and commitment to make sure your pets and home are well looked after.

Your dog will be treated like family in a safe, comfortable, and friendly environment. I have an open schedule every day, so I’m able to give pet care my full attention. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, play, and any other needs the pet may have. I enjoy caring for animals and make sure they feel safe and well looked after. I always make sure pets are in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow any instructions from the owner closely—especially when it comes to feeding, routines, and any special needs. I keep a close eye on pets at all times, make sure they’re never left alone for too long, and create a calm, friendly space where they feel secure. I also take time to build trust with each pet, so they feel happy and cared for while their owner is away. In addition to this I offer a spacious fenced garden where the dogs can safely play with my friendly dog who enjoys the company of other pets, which can help them feel more at ease and provide companionship.
About: I always had dogs since I was a kid and always played with my little ball of joys. Always gave me a lot of joy seeing dogs running around and playing with each other. Since I moved to the UK, my boyfriend and I also have a cute small yorkiepoo that loves to play with other dogs and have our friend’s pets coming over. I’m currently at home and my boyfriend also works remotely so your pups will always have somebody to play and go to parks. I usually go with my pup and friends every two or three days to parks nearby. My apartment has rooms that in case our pups are not well together, I can keep them away. We also have a public fenced garden, that allows the dogs to run around without a leash and play around.

“Liliia was brilliant. She came round before I left to ensure Ernie was comfortable with her. He can be very shy but after a few meetings and some Dreamies he trusted her completely. He was very happy when I returned having been very well looked after with food, water and treats. Liliia has a natural love and affinity with animals and her caring nature came through in every interaction with Ernie. Thank you Liliia, we hope to see you again soon!”
About: I have worked within a canine nutritionalist and behaviourist establishment for a year before it shuts down, moving to an alpaca farm. Here I take care for the owners dogs, cats and Alpacas, managing medications, behavioural issues and diets aswell as training young puppies and baby alpacas. I'm currently in university so am free any day of the week excluding Tuesdays and Fridays. I prefer to work with a couple days prior knowledge of bookings but I can work last minute walks if this planning isn't possible I have worked in a canine behaviourist establishment in which we held monthly organised dog walks, many times I was in charge of leading and planning this event. I am familiar with many different training methods and am flexible to using each one due to the needs of both the dog and owner I am working with. I have a working cocker spaniel which I trained myself to a gun dog standard from a puppy, I also own 2 cats (15 and 4) who all get along very well with one another aswell as with the dog. I prefer to use training methods of positive reinforcement and relationship building however if needed I can adapt to different training methods (no physical reprocussions) depending on a pets needs and preferences. Additionally we also added another cocker spaniel puppy to out house who is currently in training with me. Meaning I am familiar with different training and desensitisation techniques for younger dogs aswell as advocating for older animal happiness and health on my walks
