Cat Sitting Bleadon

“Gillian is a godsend, she looked after our puppy whilst we were on holiday at a music festival - nothing was too much trouble, not only did she visit and take good care of her, but she went over and above, agreeing to extra visits at the last minute and even turned down the heating when we accidentally left the house a bit too hot for our pup. Cannot recommend her highly enough.”

Rebecca S.

“Katie was a life saver and came round at very short notice to sit with our 9 week old puppy when we were out.”

Emma F.

“Christine helped us out a lot in June with our dog and she was amazing with Annie! She always seemed super content when we got home and all the little reports we got were so sweet, we could tell Annie was loving it! Thanks so much for being so fab and accomodating too. Highly recommend!”

About: Hellooo I’m Phoebe, I’m a qualified veterinary surgeon and starting a new role which means I’ll have some days off during the week and weekend. I grew up at a child minders who also had a pet sitting service, so from a young age have looked after anything from hamsters and tortoises to large-breed dogs. I have my own dog and tortoise who I adore! As a vet, I’m comfortable with giving medications at home and following your pet’s routine as closely as possible! I have an attention to detail and am more than happy to give you regular updates and photos. I’ve been working as a vet now for 2 years and starting a new role this summer! I have my own tortoise and dog who I adore. In my new role at work my shifts are constantly changing, which means available dates are not regular. But we can have a chat about what you and your pet need and work out a plan from there! On weekdays I can possibly do drop ins before and after work for cats, so just drop me a message to check dates that aren’t available on my calendar. I believe all pets are different in terms of what they need when their pet parents are away or busy. Sometimes this is a change of environment and other times it’s home stays. Unfortunately since I am in rented accommodation I cannot provide overnight stays, but I can walk dogs and do drop ins for a variety of pets. I can also house sit during the day. Due to my own pet responsibilities, overnight house sitting is not ideal.

“Gemma was so helpful and did a short notice home visit to feed and walk my dog. Without her I would have been really stuck, thank you Gemma x”

“Wow! Carrie was so brilliant! She’s so lovely and was able to help us out last minute after being let down by someone else. She cared for our Leo so well and sent regular updates and pictures, which made us feel so at ease. She went above and beyond to make Leo’s care perfect. We would absolutely highly recommend her and book with her again!”

“Very happy, well cared for kitties! Danielle gave excellent feedback and sent lovely pics so I knew how good my babies were while I was away.”

Rebecca P.

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my cat received. She was incredibly communicative and I absolutely loved how she kept me updated during every visit. She was always thoughtful, kind, and very attentive. What I appreciated the most is that she truly understands the worries of cat owners when we are away and missing our cats. Her updates were reassuring and made me feel completely at ease while travelling. Highly recommended”

About: Hi, I’m Catharine, a Lancashire lass now living in Weston-super-Mare with my partner, Tom. We’re both huge animal lovers and would love to look after your pet 🐾 We live in a detached house with a secure, fully fenced garden, and because we both work from home, your pet will have plenty of company, attention, and cuddles throughout the day. We don’t currently have pets (or children!) of our own as we’re still settling into our first home after recently moving. We’d love a pet of our own one day, but for now we’re more than happy being the people friends and family call when they need someone to look after theirs. We genuinely love having animals around the house. I’ve been animal mad for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always surrounded by dogs and cats, but my soul dog, Sandie, was extra special. He lived to the amazing age of 19 and was a huge part of my family. We had an especially close bond in his senior years when he became less mobile and relied on me a lot for comfort. Caring for him taught me so much about patience, empathy, and understanding an animal’s individual needs. I’ve done obedience training and even dog dancing with one of my previous dogs, so I’m comfortable with all sorts of personalities, routines, and energy levels. Our home is very peaceful, and we do our best to make every pet feel relaxed and safe. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing in the garden, or snoozing on the sofa after a busy day, they’ll get plenty of love and attention while they’re with us. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I promise to care for them as if they were my own and to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well looked after from the moment they arrive. Please don’t hesitate to message me if you have questions :) I can adapt to your dog’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. I work from home and can be quite flexible with my work. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they have a safe, calm and comfortable environment where they feel part of the family. We have a secure garden for supervised outdoor time, and dogs will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime and walks throughout the day. I always follow owners’ routines and preferences to help pets feel settled and at home.

“Thank you so much for coming to see Ralph - he definitely felt a lot happier with someone dropping in with him!”

Amy B.

“I just wanted to say a huge thank you for taking such wonderful care of Leia! I really appreciated your updates, attention to detail, and the gentle way you handled everything. Leia seemed calm and content when I got home, a true sign that she was in good hands. It means so much to know she was safe, comfortable, and cared for while I was away.”

About: I have over 15 years of pet care experience but will tailor each walk to each specific dog. I will never take more than two dogs at once and only with the owner’s permission or request otherwise it will be one on one. I am Very physically fit so can give your dog the level of exercise they require. No driving time - can walk straight from your house. Am fine with puppies, I have a seven month old Cockerdoor of my own. Can also offer overnight services either at your home or mine. I live next to the beach. I have recently downsized and moved to Somerset. I used to work as a headhunter but am only wanting to return to the odd freelance day so have full availability and flexibility. I have a fenced yard and a dog flap. I live with my husband and seven month old Cockerdoor in a village inn often East Somerset across the road to the beach. Also happy to stay away.

About: I guess all I have is a lot of experience handling animals. I graduated as a qualified veterinary nurse in 2023 and now I am actually studying on the veterinary AGEP course at the University of Bristol. A friend told me about this app and I thought it'd be a good idea to relax and de-stress, especially as my dog is sadly no longer with us. Ideally I would be working any time friday, saturday or sunday. I will occasionally be availible during the day throughout the week but never during the evening (apart from friday). In a pet owners home, I would take the pet(s) out at 8am with breakfast at home. After a break to do some work (+/- cuddle time), some brief playtime if appropriate followed by lunch and back to work in the afternoon. In the evening, I prefer to have playtime followed by diner and then an evening walk an hour later. This is all incredibly variable with regards to your pets normal schedule.

About: I have a Level 3 in Pet First Aid, extended insurance and an Enhanced DBS Certificate. I have been around dogs from a very young age. I grew up around three Yorkshire Terriers and, in my teens, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and a Tibetan Terrier. I have also looked after a family member's dog, a French Bulldog, from when she was 6 months old until 3 years old when they moved away. During this time, I was able to teach her many tricks and my family member was always commenting on how much her behaviour was improving at home. I also had a cat for over 15 years. I am currently available most days and for nearly all services. Please contact me even if the booking shows I am not available because I would like to be as flexible as I can to help. BOARDING/DAYCARE: I have a fully enclosed 6ft fenced large garden. All rooms have doors, and your dog will have access to all rooms in the house. For added security, the stairs will have gates on the top and bottom, and there is plenty of room if your dog needs crating or separating upon request. There is also plenty of room if a quiet space needs to be created for your dog. Dogs are allowed on the furniture, creating a home away from home environment. My partner and son like to help out with the dogs I look after when they are not working, and there is more than likely someone always at home, so your dog will always have company. When dogs are in our care they always wear a tag with my details on too for added security. I like to stick to your dogs daily routine as much as possibly whilst still maintaining health and safety aspects. HOUSE SITTING: I treat all house stays as if I was living in my own home and have the most upright respect for your privacy. I advise arranging meet and greets before all bookings, so your pet and I can get a feel for each other to see if the match is right.

About: I did dog behaviour in college and university. I worked with dogs for over 4 years and fixed an issues owners may have! I work with a positive reward system as dogs progress well with pleasing us. Treats and toys are my thing for dogs I never use tools that could cause potential harm if used incorrectly, I have an assistance dog of my own who is very well behaved and definitely rubs off on other dogs, she’s also a great play friend on long walks! I love to make walks enjoyable and different, including lots of mental and physical stimulation so they go home feeling tired and happy! I do work a part time job but I’m looking else where for something I enjoy a little more at the moment, I’m happy to be pretty flexible happy to take last minute bookings! I care very much about dogs and during dog sitting or walking there safety is my priority, it’s very rare I would leave them in the house on there own unless absolutely necessary but 99% of the time I’m sure even if I have to go out they can come! I always plan ahead so I know what’s going to happen and when, feeding times and routine for a dog is important so I’m happy to stick to any routine to make them feel safe and comfortable

“Anne was brilliant and patient with our very shy and nervous cat. It was such a relief to know our cat was in safe hands. She was well and happy on our return home. We were concerned that our return flight might be cancelled and after contacting Anne for her availability we were able to extend the booking, which was a relief and a blessing, as indeed our flight was cancelled! I would recommend Anne and Rover to friends and family.”

About: I understand how stressful and nerve wracking it can be to leave your dog with a stranger, from my own personal experience. Your dog is a family member, and that's why I make sure that every dog I look after is given the best care. I will send daily updates and photos to put your mind at ease so you can see your dog having fun. I have 20 years of experience caring for not just for dogs but, cats, small animals, sheep and horses and would love to welcome your pet into our home! I am currently retraining to be a vet at Bristol university so on the days I am out of the house your dog will never be alone more than 3/4 hours as my partners works from home as an accountant. Along with my own Springer spaniel, yours will get a walk of at least 45mins twice a day or less (dependent on your dogs needs). We go out for our morning walkies at 7am on the beach and then for a lunch time stroll along the promenade at midday after some afternoon enrichment toys at home we then head off out for an evening stroll. It really is a holiday for your pups too! In winter please bring a towel for muddy days and let me know if your pup hates the bath! Let me know if they have any special requirements, if they dislike certain dogs, children etc and how they typically behave when interacting in public. We cannot accept dogs that cannot be left alone without barking or who have a tendency to bark in general in the house. If you are unsure how your dog behaves in other peoples houses or this is your first time leaving them we would prefer to have a trial afternoon with them. We will to stick to your pups home time schedule as best as possible and as there is always someone at home we can accommodate medication times. We usually walk in more secluded quieter areas during first stays while we all get accustomed to each other and learn the behaviour of the dogs. We will always use a lead and exercise common sense when dealing with other off lead dogs. I have experience with reactive/nervous dogs so have an understanding of their needs and extra attention that needs to be paid on walks.

About: I had a sprocker spaniel called Jasper for eight years, unfortunately he has passed due to cancer. I loved having him around but am no longer in a position to have a dog, so I do a lot of pet-sitting (as I always have done), as I love spending time in the outdoors and with animals. I have worked with many different dogs over the years and have learned so much about dog behaviour and their individual needs. Having owned a very energy rich spaniel I am really passionate about stimulating dogs and making sure they get lots of time in the outdoors to keep them happy and healthy. I also have had three cats in the family growing up and feel very comfortable and confident caring for them also. I really love to spend time with animals and it provides me with much needed down time from by busy degree working towards becoming a doctor. I am familiar walking with dogs that may have additional needs, such as if they are reactive or nervous, just let me know what works for them :) I am always free during the weekday evenings. I also am available on Wednesday afternoons. I often am around during the weekends also and can be flexible to your needs. My schedule changes weekly, so don’t hesitate to ask! I love giving my animals a good fuss, and will always be there for tummy rubs and cuddles if they are! Also through having my own animals I know how to keep them safe at all times. As a medical student I can be trusted and am responsible.

“Excellent care provided for my two boys! They were so calm when I returned from holiday. Thank you so much Aaron! ”

About: I grew up on a farm so I have a lot of experience of being surrounded by lots of amazing kinds of animals. I particularly love dogs and have experience of big and small breeds. I enjoy getting exercise and being outdoors. I can feed, walk, bathe pets with confidence. I really miss my family dog at the moment so I would be so happy to spend time with your dog! I have repeating customers on Rover so know how it all works! I would have hours free before and after work. But most weekends I will be free as well. I will care for your pets in the way you need me to, whether that is making sure they don’t escape from the garden, feeding them regularly, not letting them off the lead etc. I am very patient and pay attention to the small details, so I will take great care of your pet. I’m currently working full time Monday to Friday, and my office is in Weston Super Mare, so if you want me to house sit, as long as it’s in commutable distance to Weston it should be fine. I can do morning and evening care. If I am house sitting for you, your pet will have to be comfortable being alone in the daytime, but I can provide walkies early mornings and evenings. I can do whatever is needed for your pet to be happy and cared for. I am comfortable with administering medication, going for walks and anything your fur baby needs. I can only pet sit in my flat on the weekends as I work in the week.
