Cat Sitting Bradfield

“Kat is absolutely fantastic! Couldn’t ask for a friendlier, more caring, dedicated person to take care of our fur babies. Great communication and lovely updates. Cats & bunnies were so relaxed when we got home! Kat went above and beyond. They were all kept really clean, well fed and they loved the extra company. Can’t recommend Kat highly enough.”

“Charlotte was brilliant and so wonderful with Rusty, it was the first time we have left him and had someone come in to see him and let him out. Even though he was a little nervous Charlotte communicated with me straight away and encouraged him gently out into the garden for a wee and a play. Charlotte communicated with me the whole time she was with Rusty and really reassured me that he was okay! Thank you for being so lovely and brilliant with Rusty”

“Charlotte dropped everything to walk Savannah when our regular sitter couldn't help. I will be forever grateful to her for her support, as I was able to go out and enjoy my birthday. Thank you, Charlotte :)”

About: Hi, I'm Charlotte! I've grown up with dogs, cats and other small animals, so caring for pets has always been a part of my life. I genuinely love spending time with animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and needs. Alongside regularly walking dogs, my partner Joe and I also look after family and friends' pets whenever they need us to. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit or overnight care, we treat every pet as if they were our own, making sure they feel safe, happy and well looked after. We both work in the emergency services, so being reliable, trustworthy and dependable is second nature to us. We work around our shift patterns, which gives us flexibility to offer care throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings and weekends. We're based in Ardleigh, where we're lucky to have plenty of lovely countryside footpaths and quiet walking routes right on our doorstep. Whether your dog enjoys a gentle stroll or a longer adventure, we'll make sure they get the exercise, attention and care they deserve. We know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust, and we'd love the opportunity to get to know both you and your furry friend. Our shift work gives us a flexible routine that works really well with pet care. As we both work in the emergency services, we have different shift patterns, meaning there is usually someone at home and we can plan our time around the needs of each pet. We love being outdoors and regularly enjoy going on walks and runs around the local countryside, so having a dog to join us makes it even better. We have plenty of lovely walking routes around Ardleigh and enjoy giving pets the exercise, attention and companionship they need. We also don't have any children or pets so our lifestyle is very flexible. We know that every pet is different, and nobody knows them better than their owner. Before looking after your pet, we’ll always take the time to learn about their routine, personality and what makes them feel happy and safe. We’ll follow your guidance so they feel as comfortable and settled as possible. We have a secure, sizeable garden where they can enjoy some fresh air, play and explore safely. Our home is set back from the road, giving pets a quieter and safer environment, and we also have security cameras around the property for extra peace of mind. We’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, cuddles, exercise and downtime depending on what they’re used to. We understand that some pets need lots of interaction, while others prefer a little more space and a calm routine. When caring for pets in their own home, we know that staying in a familiar place can often be less stressful. We’ll keep to their normal routine, spend quality time with them and make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. Most importantly, we want your pet to feel happy and relaxed, and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re being looked after by people who genuinely love animals.

About: I have had dogs of my own for the last 12 years and have worked at kennels during this time, looking after several dogs with complex needs. I’m experienced with many types of dogs and equipped to deal with any medical needs. I am a very active individual so plenty of walks available! I’ve grown up around animals and have looked after all kinds of animals - from alpacas to horses, I’ve done it! I currently work 8-4pm mon - Friday but my working hours / days are very flexible. I can work from home when required to be flexible. I am a trustworthy individual used to looking after and caring for other peoples pets, as well as my own. My life is very flexible so timings are not a problem.

About: I’ve helped my parents walking our dog since he was a puppy. I’ll feed him on time and company him when his family aren’t around. I’ll make sure he has a familiar person during thunderstorms and fireworks. I’m currently working part time and will be free most days of the week. I’m an animal person so they fit in perfectly with my free time. I have a fenced and good sized garden where my dog can safely play and have fun. I make sure my dog has a walk and playtime. He has his food accordingly and a relaxing evening before bed.

About: I’m a fun, caring animal lover who just wants the best for all animals! I currently volunteer at the Blue Cross and I’ve previously run a kennels & cattery so am confident with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes and breeds. I’ve also worked for 2 zoos - one a mobile zoo with smaller animals such as reptiles and meerkats and the other a large zoo with everything from penguins to zebras so I’m used to a whole host of animal traits and characters, as well as meeting their needs. My work is very flexible and I work from home most of the time - if I do need to go out I often take the dog/s staying with me along, so they can enjoy a walk somewhere new at the same time🙂 My approach to looking after your pets? With love! Having had my own dogs since I was a child and more recently lost my elderly Mastiff cross Bordeaux, I know what it’s like as an owner to leave your pet with someone else. I therefore aim to make both you and your pet as comfortable as can be while you’re away and am very flexible to meets yours and their needs.

About: I will protect your pet as my own every second they are in my care. With lots of fun and love guaranteed. I have a very caring nature with plenty of enthusiasm to take care your much beloved pet whist they are in my care, whether it’s lots of attention or lots of walks, it’s fun for me too! Both Cats and Dogs have been part of my life since I was a child. I naturally feel connected to animals and belive them to be more like family. I enjoy their company and will give your pet a loving environment while they are in my care. My routine is to usually to take dogs out for a walk almost immediately as I find they are much more at ease after a walk. It can help distract them from any possible separation anxiety and forms a bond and trust between me and them. As the owner you can feel at ease with your loved one in my care. With lots of updates and photos being sent your way on a daily basis. You can fully enjoy your time away knowing they are in good hands, safe and happy. Me and my partner look forward to hearing from you and hopefully getting to meet you all in the near future. -Ben My work schedule is flexible and will do my best to accommodate your needs. There’s two adults in the household , and we have a small child of 6 months who use to all sorts of animals. Your pet will be with someone at all times. Fenced in medium garden. Will do my best to Tailor to their needs as they receive at home. They will be kept on a leash when on walks.

About: I’m an experienced in-your-home pet and house-sitter (day and night) - which I enjoy and love to do at the same time! Read on to find out more about me and see if I’m a good match for you :) I’ve been lucky to have pets to love and care for all my life and having a pet is something I really miss (I can't have a pet of my own due to where I live). After taking early retirement I'm just not ready to slow down and this means I have loads of time and love to give to your pets! I find the love and affection from animals so rewarding which is why in the absence of my own I decided to become a pet-sitter - starting out with sitting for friends and family and expanding from there. I've always had dogs - and many other pets along the way like cats, rabbits, hamsters, budgies and lots of tropical fish! Two of my most beloved dogs were rescues. I've had Corgis, German Shepherds, Labradors and mixed breeds. I now have a delightful - and cheeky - Mini Dachshund “grand-pup”! I’ve cared for many dog breeds (Springers, Cockers, Lurchers, Bichon Frise, Mini Poodles, Chihuahuas, Yorkshire Terriers, Collies, Podencos, Dachshunds and more!) and many with different needs - young, old, small, large, cross-breed, rescue, pedigree and those with medical conditions and special and / or senior needs. I’ve also looked after many cats (indoor and outdoor) and other pets. I’d love you to check out my photo gallery of my own precious pets and those that I’ve cared for. I have no work commitments but I do the occasional craft fair and enjoy visiting friends and family. I have lots of availability throughout the whole week. I offer pet sitting for the day, evenings and overnight. I’m an in-your-home pet-sitter, I will travel to you and look after your pet in your home - and also look after your home at the same time. I can ensure your dog gets lots of stimulation and movement within your home space and garden. I will never leave your dog alone in your home unless you specify that this is OK and normal for them. I know how hard it can be to trust someone with your beloved pet and know very well how special and very unique the needs of pets can be - I want to reassure you there is no silly request or need I won’t understand. With lots of house-sitting under my belt, I pride myself in how I treat other’s homes and precious things like their pets and home security. I am happy to spend time introducing myself and getting to know you and your pets and to travel to you. I am flexible to your needs and how you like communication to be - happy to follow all guidelines and requirements for your pets and home and to send you updates and photos as regularly as you’d like. "Qualifications and Checks" - Clear and recent DBS check (can be provided upon request). - Personal insurance cover above Rover’s insurance provision (can be provided upon request). - Currently obtaining Canine First Aid Certified and Comprehensive. - Personal references can be provided.

“Eloise is just perfect. She did an excellent job with Kaya and Coco, was always on time, and was willing to change the schedule last minute when necessary. Great updates and photos. Would recommend highly!”

About: I've always had dogs or cats throughout my life and I currently am a cat mum. I thoroughly love animals and care for them a huge amount. I am currently working hybrid and have a flexible schedule, so happy to workout timings with you when a care is needed for your pet/s I can not have animals in my home as I have a cat and I don't think she would like any visitors unfortunately and it wouldn't be fair on her. For any bookings I would speak to the customer about any possible safety issues they know of in advance from their side.

“John was fantastic! Before his visit with Willow he went out of his way to come and meet her so that she was relaxed when he came over for his visit. Very friendly and Willow had a great time with him. Got a lovely video and picture whilst he was here which we appreciated! We will use John again!”

However, I have looked after my friends pets and also used Borrow my Doggy so I could walk a dog and take care of one.

I live local to a field so can always take them for a nice walk
