Pet Sitting in Bromsgrove

“This was the first time using this sort of service as our cat usually stays at catteries. Sarah and John were very professional and communicative, and clearly care about animals. We were kept up to date with regular photos whilst away and it was great to see our usually nervous around strangers and hiding, cat warm to them as the days passed by. We hope to have them looking after her again in the future. Thanks both!”

“I would give Becky 10 stars if I could! She was kind enough to look after my cats over Christmas, and I didn't worry about them even once. It was great to see my shy cats coming out of their shell through the daily updates and pictures, which is always a good sign!”

About: I've been around all creatures great and small for longer than I can remember, and have loved animals than I can remember still. My experience as a pet owner is with smaller mammals - I am the proud parent of two rats - while other pets I have experienced through relatives and family friends. I spent long summer days as a teenager cat-sitting for my grandma - I don't think Tuppence (the cat) ever quite warmed up to me, but she enjoyed using me as a place to sunbathe and very much liked when I would attempt to bribe her affection with treats. I have been around dogs my entire life and, more recently, have enjoyed work as a dog walker for a family friend and their animal-care business. This is where I have gained my professional experience in animal care, having completed a Dog Walking and Pet Sitting Diploma as part of this placement. Overall, I have experience with every variety of pet, including rescues and especially seniors. I'm currently formally unemployed, doing some casual work as a dog walker. Most of my time is spent with my gorgeous pair of rats (Baba Yaga and Kugrash), who are endlessly amusing and endlessly keeping me busy cleaning the out and creating new and incentive ways to engage them. As it stands, I have plenty of free time to spend caring for other people's pets - because every animal deserves the same love and companionship as my Mischief! I would be offering my services to care for your pet in your own home, so I would want to understand your typical routine and dynamic. In my Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Diploma, I learnt best practices for maintaining safety and trust for all involved, including rudimentary pet first aid (which I intend to learn more about).

About: Hi My name is Michelle, I am a middle aged lady looking to keep myself in trim with walking but would very much like some company. I am certainly a dog lover, having looked after my own dogs in the past. So can I ask does your Dog need more exercise or just some company during the day or evening. If so I can help. Competitive Rates Diploma Certified Home Collection I would love to help look after your Dog. I live near a local dog friendly Park and also The Houseman Trail and the Three Royal Walks all around The Bromsgrove area so plenty of choice and walks to go on. Also happy to Dog Sit if you're looking for a day or evening out without your pet. Please give me a call and I can arrange to meet both yourself and your dog for a trial run if interested.

“Katie was wonderful! Punctual, polite, and clearly loves dogs! She sent lots of updates throughout the day and Becks was happy and relaxed when we got home. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!”

About: ***TRAINING AS A DOG BEHAVIOURIST*** ***FULLY INSURED*** ***ENHANCED DBS CHECK*** ***CANINE FIRST AID TRAINED*** I have always loved animals and as we couldn’t have a dog of our own when I was younger, I did dog walking and sitting for friends and neighbours. We got a puppy 18 months ago, and he has changed my life in so many ways. When we first got him he lacked confidence and could be shy with strangers, but through all the research I’ve done to try and help him live his best life, I've realised just how passionate I am about dogs and how much joy I get from being around them. 🐶🐾 I can offer walkies, drop-in visits and dog sitting in your home. I’m happy to stay overnight with your pup, however due to having a young daughter I can only do this for one night at a time. I'm also currently studying for a Level 6 Diploma in Clinical Canine Behaviour through the Canine Behaviour College. This course is the first of its kind as it's Ofqual-regulated and was developed by well-known veterinary behaviourist, Tom Mitchell. This means I have a good understanding of dog behaviour and body language and am learning new force free training games and solutions for problem behaviours. Happy to talk about how I can incorporate training into walks or dog sitting if this is of interest. Please get in touch with any requests or questions, and I'll do my best to help! I work 4 days per week, but 3 of these are from home and I have a lot of flexibility with my workload. Happy to discuss how I can be flexible and move my schedule around to meet your needs. I know from personal experience how nerve-wracking it can be to leave a member of your family with someone unknown. I’m committed to making sure your pets feel happy and relaxed with me and I’ll follow any instructions about their care that you would like to provide. Please give me as much information as possible about them - they're all individuals and I want to put your mind at ease that they’re being looked after as if they’re my own.

“Alice was so good with Queenie, my mum's rescue dog. Initial meet and great was in a public space which worked really well. Alice was able to cope with Queenie so well and gave me feedback messages to reassure me that all was okay. Would totally recommend Alice. Thank you so much.”

Tony C.

“I had my first meet and greet with Louise. Very friendly and put my mind at ease, as I was anxious about the thought of someone looking after ernie that I don't know. I will definately be booking her services”

Jodi J.

“Jessica was great at looking after the bunnies. Very experienced and great communication leading up to the day and during the visit. I would definitely recommend her!”

About: When caring for your pets, they will always be treated as our own. We want to build a bond with them so they trust us and feel safe in their owners absence. Since we were young, we have always had a passion for animals and decided what better way to make use of our passion by looking after your furbabies 🐾 I currently work as a Civil Servant and I work from home. My job is extremely flexible working, which is why I have taken the leap to begin making my passion come to life. I am able to do walks before work, at lunch time and after work and can also do home visits around my work day. I am an active person, who loves my daily dog walks and being outdoors - but who also loves a cuddle too! We have a secure fenced garden, and 2 of our own dogs to keep your fur babies company. We will provide your pet with the stimulation and love they want and need!

About: I’ve always loved spending time with animals and have cared for cats and dogs for family and friends over the years. More recently, I’ve been house sitting and realised how much I enjoy looking after pets and keeping them happy while their owners are away. I’m a patient and caring sitter who takes the time to get to know each pet’s personality and routine. I’ll always make sure everything is clear by asking questions, and I love sending daily updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands. Whether it’s house sitting, walks or drop-in visits, I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. Pet care fits smoothly into my daily routine. I set aside dedicated time for walks, play, feeding and attention, so I can give pets consistent care and companionship. During house sitting or drop-in visits, I make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely and can easily adjust to special needs or schedules. I also make it a habit to send updates and photos to owners daily, keeping them connected while they’re away. When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I treat their space and routines with the utmost respect. I follow any instructions carefully, making sure pets are fed, walked, and given plenty of attention and playtime according to their usual schedule. I’m patient and observant, so I notice any changes in behaviour or needs, and I make sure to communicate with owners through daily updates and photos. My goal is to keep pets happy, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away. My partner, Harry, joins me during house sits, we're more than happy to do a video call or meet up before hand so you can feel safe and comfortable with us both!

About: I’ve previously had my own dogs (lurchers, saluki cross and greyhound cross). I have also volunteered at a local rescue shelter for several years. Additionally I frequently look after neighbours and friends dogs as needed. I currently work on the bank for the NHS, I can pick and choose when I work but still require appropriate notice. This means I can be flexible to a point if notified early. Due to working in the NHS I have an up to date enhanced DBS. I can’t look after pets in my home as I rent, but I have plenty of places I can take dogs in the daytime or visit their own home.

About: I have been caring for animals since childhood from dogs and cats to birds and small animals. Throughout my whole life I have always had a dog ranging from small breeds to the larger breeds and have considered each and every to be part of the family. With this came the experience of caring for puppies, training and all the way through to the senior years. My Monday to Friday schedule is dedicated to pet care, dog walking etc and I am available for house sitting during both weekdays (after 3pm) and weekends. When house sitting during week days I will be with your pet throughout the late afternoon to the morning taking care of their needs, feeding, walking, playtime, toilet trips etc calling in throughout the day and full time during weekends. I also typically like to schedule a meet and greet before any house sitting bookings in order to confirm that I am the right person to meet your pets needs. When caring for your pet in your own home I will try to keep to their usual schedule as much as possible and treat them as if they were my own. I would appreciate it if you would tell me about your pets in advance, things like are they sociable with other dogs while out and about, do they have any allergies or medical needs, if they dislike strangers or certain noises. I would also like to know what they are like in your home, do they have a favourite place to sleep, are they allowed upstairs or on the furniture or do they have a specific routine that you would like kept to. I also hold a full DBS and am fully insured, which I can provide evidence for.

“Anthony clearly loves dogs and has been great with our cockapoo puppy. He takes her out in the garden and plays football with her. It’s good to know she’s going to have fun when he comes round! He always replies quickly and has been flexible with his times and days. Very happy to have found him!”

“I can’t speak highly enough of Cara. She is very responsive to messages, flexible and most importantly a great friend to my kitten. She sends regular updates to reassure me of his well being and I know that he is in safe hands.”

I would love to help you with dog walking or drop in visits if you live in the Lickey End or Bromsgrove area and need some help. Walks and visits can take place either with my dog, or without her, whatever your preference is. I work from home so I am around a lot during the daytime.

I will not compromise the safety of the established group. Please be completely honest about your needs prior to meet and greet. Dogs are crate trained for sleeps. Licensing requires if dogs are unsupervised they are separated. We go to bed the dogs go to bed. This gives peace of mind during rest. Our dogs do the same.
