About: Hi everyone! I’m available for pet sitting in the area. I have experience with dogs, cats, and other pets, and I genuinely enjoy taking care of them. I’m reliable, friendly, and happy to adapt to your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. If you need someone you can trust, feel free to message me. We can easily agree on timing and price 🙂 Pet care is a regular part of my routine. I plan my days around visits, walks, and feeding times, making sure each pet gets consistent attention, exercise, and care without feeling rushed. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their usual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them attention based on their personality. I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for in their own environment or mine.
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs of different breeds and other animals since a young age. Neighbours, friends and close family have all asked me to take care of, feed and give attention to their animals to which I performed precisely. I am currently caring for my partner as she is heavily pregnant and am not currently working a 9-5 due to the care that she requires and as the pregnancy has caused a lot of unexpected difficulties it is safer for me to remain closer to home. I house 3 in door cats, their needs and requirements are met on a daily basis, playtime divided evenly between the 3, constant cuddles and comfort from myself and partner, constant litter tray supervision, regular biscuit bowl, water and wet food throughout the day.
“Janet has been an absolute lifesaver for my blind beagle, Millie! From day one, she has been incredibly calming, attentive, and patient, making sure Millie feels safe and comfortable and enjoys every walk. Her reliability and genuine care give me total peace of mind, knowing Millie is in the best hands. It’s clear she truly loves what she does, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have found her. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker, Janet is the best! Highly recommend!”

“Patricia did an excellent job looking after my cats and on fairly short notice too! I received text messages after each visit giving me an update on how things were going which was really reassuring. I would definitely recommend and would not hesitate to ask Patricia to assist again in the future. Thanks Patricia 👍🏼”

Weekends I can pet sit from Friday at 6:30pm- Sunday 9pm. Weekends are more flexible from am-pm. I will offer them water and treats. Pet food will need to be supplied by the owner and familiar toys.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was born. I have 2 dogs of my own and my family also do so i’ve been around them always. I am always stopping to look at peoples dogs.

“Emilia was really easy to communicate with and extremely kind and pleasant to deal with. She took great care of my cat Alan while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone”
About: I've just recently lost my gorgeous little Boston, winston and am missing him so much, so thought it would be an amazing opportunity to take care of and cuddle lots of other doggies until I am ready to get another. I had winston for 12 years and loved him like my child. I trained him from a puppy and then took care of him and gave him his medication and lots of care in his senior years. I was always brought up around dogs and genuinely love them more than most people. You can be guaranteed your fur babies will get a lot of love and care with me. I'm a teacher so am available at weekends or during school holidays for boarding. I can do drop ins and walks in the evenings on top of this. I dont have any children or other pets so your doggy will get my undivided attention. I treat them like children so they are very welcome on the couch and on the bed with me etc. I live near big playing fields and also have a garden.

“Thankyou so much for looking after Björn, he looked so happy in the photos and videos that you sent during the visit and it really put us at ease knowing that he was alright while we were away 😊”
About: I am currently working office hours Monday to Friday so I will have a bit of time in the morning for the pets that require 2 visits per day and after work for all the other visits. I have a bit more time during the weekend, also one day a week I work from home so more time for the furry friends. My own pet is an indoor only cat so I will make sure the windows and doors are always secure, endure the cat is in sight in a secure place when leaving the house. I will be also offering dog walking services, for these I will ensure the dogs are always kept on leash, if they are nervous will avoid stressful situations and cross roads or keep them at distance from other dogs/ crowded areas etc. With the smaller animals which in my experience tend to be more shy, I will offer them the space they need to feel comfortable.
“Kerry is brilliant. Very positive and Lola absolutely loves her coming round to play with her. Always leaves an update with some photos. Perfect with coordinating schedule and if not available gives plenty of notice. Would highly recommend ☺️”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a young child, I have had dogs all my life and started looking after other peoples pets at around 16, I have two of my own large rescue dogs that come with their own issues so I am well experienced with animals with nerves. I understand pets that are shy as I have looked after my aunties pets that struggle with anxiety and we have built a bond overtime. I have experience with slightly larger breeds such as male staffies and pit bulls as I have grown up with them since I was 7, I have also looked after puppies before (less than 1 years old, not less than a month old etc.) I am willing and capable to care of a young pup. I have looked after many cats and understand some are not as sociable, I am patient. I am no stranger to being nibbled by puppies and giving them extra play time / longer walks to tire them out, I also understand older dogs need a more relaxed approach. I have recently finished college and I have much more spare time, as such an animal enthusiast I figured this would be the perfect opportunity. I wake up early and complete daily chores around the house and feeding / walking my own pets. I also sell online so I will often be posting parcels, I am 18 with a full driving licence and my own vehicle so transport is no issue! I am available all throughout the day. I have been trusted multiple times with peoples house keys and being able to let myself in / lock up their homes to watch over their pets. Our garden is fenced off and pretty decent space wise, we also have toys at home that have never been touched as our dog is not interested, we have a large crate if necessary and other dog beds, we have a guest room that can be used for your pet. We always have treats and multiple water bowls available. The back garden is safe and we do not take the dogs on the front garden unless they are on a lead.
“Alex was fantastic, she took excellent care of our cat, Millie, whilst we were away on holiday. Millie clearly took to Alex too as she's usually a bit fussy but gave Alex lots of cuddles and play time.”
“Zuzanna has been amazing from start to finish! She did a lovely introductory meet & greet, and my cat took to her straight away—it was clear she’s confident and comfortable around animals, especially cats. Throughout her time looking after my little one, she sent me loads of photos, which really put my mind at ease. It was so reassuring to know my cat was in such caring and capable hands. Highly recommend Zuzanna to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind pet sitter!! 10/10 I will be booking again when the time comes 🐈⬛”

Vickie has been an absolute superstar with her sitting. She gained Snowflakes trust and despite being hissed at for the first few days, by the end of the first week she was being cuddled up with. Vickie left my house clean and tidy for me to come home to. Vickie also sent me photos and videos every visit which helped keep me settled throughout my trip that Snowflake was doing well. Can’t wait to use Vickie again in a few weeks for my next trip.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Care, Beyond Expectations We are truly grateful to Bethany for the outstanding care she provided for our cats during wr absence. She did everything perfectly & treated our boys with genuine love, patience, & responsibility. What makes her truly exceptional is that despite going through very difficult circumstances herself — including severe pain in her ankle due to reflex issues that required a hospital visit — she still came back to our home after the hospital to care for our cats so that she would not let us down as she Promised us. This level of dedication, honesty, & compassion is extremely rare in this time. Bethany is an amazing & wonderful person. Our respect & appreciation for her have grown immensely. She never abandoned us, even while she was suffering in pain. She is one of the most genuine, kind-hearted, & trustworthy people we have ever met. Words like “thank you” are simply not enough to express our gratitude. She deserves the highest level of respect & trust, we Highly recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for someone who truly cares — not just about cats , but about keeping doing as what she promises no matter the circumstances. Thank you once again. You are truly remarkable. God Bless you. ❤️
Emilia provided an excellent service for both our pets in attending on a daily basis and provided a written and photographic report of her visits. Our cat - who can be rather picky as to who he befriends - got on like a house on fire. Emilia responded to our requests in full.
I would like to say a big thank to Louise for looking after our gorgeous big Tabby. I highly recommend her. She spent time playing with him and it was great seeing the photos of him in the garden and around the house very relaxed. Louise was very tidy and clean. We didn’t have to empty bins or anything, she did all that. You will not go wrong with Louise. 😁
