Cat Sitting Blacon

About: Hiya, I’m Tarrah and I’ve been caring for animals pretty much my whole life. I grew up surrounded by animals and have spent the last 5 years pet sitting and the last 2 years house sitting for people around the world and in the UK. I genuinely treat pets like family, and I’m big on routines. I’m very intuitive with animals, and I take time to understand each pet as an individual. Different personalities need different care, and I always adjust to what your pet is comfortable with, and needs. You can expect regular updates, photos and videos while you’re away, and the peace of mind that your home and your pet are being looked after properly. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies and kittens to senior and end-of-life pets, so I’m comfortable with both high-energy and gentle, slower routines. I have such a special connection with animals that growing up, my nickname was Ace Ventura and Dr Dolittle… which honestly still feels pretty accurate 😅. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet and your home with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. If you’re looking for someone calm, reliable and genuinely invested in your pet’s wellbeing, I’d love to help. I work fully remotely and run my own business, which means my schedule is completely flexible. I can fit in walks, playtime, feeding, medication and cuddles throughout the day, and I’m always available to respond to updates or messages. Whether your pet prefers structured routines or more relaxed days, I can adapt to their needs and ensure they feel happy and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. Whether I’m in your home or caring for your pet at mine, I make sure the environment is secure, clean and calm. I follow your instructions to the letter, feeding, walks, medication, routines - and pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and temperament. I also provide regular updates, photos and videos, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy and loved.

“Nia is absolutely amazing, she treats our boys as though they're her own and goes above and beyond for them. It brings such a peace of mind knowing she's sorting them out. Both the boys adore her too!”

About: Hey! I’m Rebecca a longtime animal lover and professional photographer, I’m very privileged to work with dogs in my line of work, so rest assured your pets are in safe hands! I have previously looked after dogs for family and friends including nervous dogs. I also love to go on walks so would be willing and able to take your dogs for long walks.

He took time to come and meet everyone and learn all of the animals routines which was reassuring to see. I got regular updates and photos which was a bonus.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs in a home environment. I helped train and house-train a cockapoo puppy from a young age and regularly cared for him while my parents were at work, including feeding, walking, playing, and general daily care. He is now 6 years old, and I have continued to spend many days alone with him. Three years ago, we also welcomed a second rescue cockapoo with more nervous and overexcited tendencies, so I have experience managing different personalities and supporting him both individually and alongside our other dog. I am confident with daily routines, walks, feeding, and providing calm, attentive care. I also have experience with cats through friends and family, although I have more experience with dogs. I'm currently a dietetics student at the University of Chester living on Chester campus but I am moving to a 4 bed house from August. I have time for walks and home visits and sometimes have availability on request for duration stays in Chester. I would care for pets in an owner’s home by following their usual routines closely to help the pet feel safe and settled in familiar surroundings. I would prioritise safety by making sure doors, gates, and leads are secure before and during walks, and by being attentive to each pet’s behaviour and needs at all times. I understand the importance of trust when entering someone’s home, so I would treat the property with respect, follow any instructions carefully, and maintain clear communication with the owner. I would provide regular updates if requested, including messages and photos, so they feel reassured while away. As I live on campus accommodation where pets aren’t allowed, I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and staying in the client’s home when needed. I am comfortable adapting to each pet’s routine and environment to ensure consistency, comfort, and low stress for them.

“I couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter :-). My cat took to Eli straight away, which rarely happens as she's quite a nervous cat. It put my mind at ease and it was clear that Eli has a genuine love for animals. Eli was super reliable and sent messages and photos daily so that I knew my cat was happy and being well cared for. She fed her, played with her and gave her lots of cuddles. I'd highly recommend Eli to anyone looking for a pet sitter and will definitely use her again.”

About: I have taken care of family and friends dogs for a long time. I also walk an elderly ladies dog through the Cinnamon Trust. I love spending time with dogs.

I have a fenced decent sized garden for pets to enjoy. I enjoy a walk in the local park and fields for them to enjoy. I enjoy spending time with pets and I' very trusted to look after and care for them.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet lover based in Chester, currently working as an animal keeper, so caring for animals is a huge part of my everyday life. I have hands-on experience working with a variety of animals and understand the importance of patience, routine, and making pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply giving them lots of attention and affection, I’ll treat your pet like my own. I’m confident with different breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in safe hands. Pet care is a natural and rewarding part of my daily routine. As an animal keeper, I’m already dedicated to providing consistent, high-quality care for animals every day. Outside of work, I care for my own pets, making sure they receive all the love, attention, and structure they need to stay happy and healthy. Balancing professional animal care with personal pet sitting keeps my days full of purpose, compassion, and happy paws. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, secure, and happy in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s established routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions, ensuring minimal disruption to their normal schedule. I provide plenty of affection, enrichment, and attention while also keeping their space clean and safe. I also stay in close contact with owners, sending regular updates and photos so they can feel confident their pets are well cared for while they’re away.

About: I have a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management where I achieved the highest possible grade of triple Distinction*. This diploma gave me two years of experience caring for and training all types of animals. I also have work experience in various dog groomers, doggy daycare, a vet practice, and city farms. I also volunteer at university as a dog walker for elderly/disabled people. I've had both dogs and cats for my whole life and care greatly about their welfare! I am also studying bioveterinary science at university where I have done projects focusing on animal welfare. I am currently a student who is on summer break until October with no prior commitments so have plenty of free time to care for, play with, and walk your pets! I will host pets safely in their home by following their routine, pet-proofing the space, monitoring their health, and communicating daily with the owner.
