Cat Sitting Buckland

About: I've had pets ever since I was as young as age 7. I started out with goldfish in a small aquarium. Owning pets when I was young helped me to grow into a more empathetic and compassionate person. I also used to have pet guinea pigs, and now I have a cat. Having these mammals has allowed me excellent opportunities to form bonds with animals early on, and practice for bonding with future pets. I also attended Hadlow College Canterbury for 3 years and did animal care courses. I worked with goats, sheep, chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs in their outside yard. In their indoor area, I also worked with small rodents, reptiles and even amphibians. For all of those animals, I was given training on how to clean them out, how to handle them, give them the right amount of food, and how to perform a health check. Qualifications acheived: •Foundation in animal care •Level 1 diploma in animal care •Level 2 diploma in animal care I am highly flexible and can fit pet care around my normal daily routine. This is throughout both weekdays and weekends. I am able to to late evenings or early mornings should you request. I have cat toys and scratching posts that are provided for my cat to be stimulated. I feed him twice a day, once in the morning with nuggets and once in the evening with a sashe.

About: Hi there, I grew up surrounded by horses cats dogs fish and hamsters and love them all. I’m a regular cat sitter currently and resting between acting jobs so ready to go. I work part time as a supporting artist in films so pet care work fits in perfectly with that. I’m also used to getting up very early so any need for dawn feeds/ walkies etc won’t be a problem. I always follow care instructions to the letter, especially locking up a front door etc.. I double and triple check to make sure. That might be a bit OCD but better safe than sorry.

About: Hello! I’m a caring, reliable animal lover with experience looking after my own cats, as well as caring for those belonging to family and friends. Although I haven’t owned a dog myself, I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and understand the importance of providing them with patience, attention, and a safe environment. I’m calm, responsible, active, and happy to follow your dog’s routine and any specific instructions to make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I absolutely love animals and know how much they mean to the people they share their lives with, so I’ll treat your dog or cat with the same care, kindness, and respect that I give my own pets. I also have a DBS check for extra peace of mind. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can feel reassured while you’re apart. As a self-employed creative freelancer, I have quite a flexible schedule, which means I can often fit around walking and drop in pet-care (maybe other pet sitting in the future) I’ll always be upfront about my availability and only take on bookings that I know I can give my full attention to. I look forward to meeting you and your furry companion—what makes your furry person happy makes me happy! 😊 My week will change each week as I’m self employed, so I work pet care around my work. But I will never take a booking when I know I’m down to work near that time. But i can do early mornings from about 7AM until about 6PM (sometimes a little later the summer). All days - working round my various hours in-between. Let me know if your cat or dog has any issues, if they are shy or anxious around certain things. Or if they like to do certain things, favourite places, toys, etc. For dogs how long the walk should be, for cats, for a drop in - if they need feeding or have an ‘in time’ (it’s a thing!) …or anything else related 😊

“Emma arrived on time and spend time with my lovely Vsashka. He is not very well and I was very relieved to be able to rely on Emma to visit him and keep him happy whilst I went to a Podiatrist. I will certainly keep her on file and use her whenever I need Vsashka looking after. It is a great relief to have someone so caring and efficient to rely on. Thank you SO much, Emma!”

About: I grew up with Boxer dogs, and have experience house sitting and dog walking. I enjoy long walks along the coast, and would love some 4 legged company. If you would prefer us to stay indoors, please let me know what music and TV they enjoy, sometimes it helps to have something you watch on in the background. I'm currently work part time, I enjoy morning walks, and would love a 4 legged friend to join me. I have alot of flexibility, and can be avaliable at short notice. For walks, it is good for your dog to meet me, and see how we get on. I always have doggy bags and treats! Ask as many questions as you need to.

“Abigail came for a one off pop in visit. She bonded well with the hounds and was very affectionate towards them. She was punctual and good at responding to instructions. I would definitely book her again.”

About: Caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I am passionate about all animals and throughout my life I have had all kinds of pets with a lot of experience of caring for dogs and cats. I also have good knowledge of birds, reptiles, and small furry pets. I live with my husband in Dover, we currently have our own dogs, fish and a parrot. They are part of the family. I enjoy taking dogs for walks around the local countryside and coastal areas. I treat every pet like family. I’m confident with puppy care, basic training, and keeping to routines, as well as understanding the calmer support that senior pets often need. For cats, I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box care, and respecting their individual personalities — whether that’s playful companionship or quiet reassurance. My goal is always the same: happy, safe pets and peace of mind for their owners I am available every day for drop-ins, playdates, walking for all your furry friends. Mornings, evenings and weekends with at least three days notice 🐾 I am professional and caring and have worked in social care for over 20 years, good communicator and very flexible. Available for Dog walks, drop ins, feeding and socialisation. Happy to arrange a meet up and short visit/walk for peace of mind and a pawsome experience for your fluffy friends, please get in touch. Respectful of owners wishes and property, ensuring all pets are well cared for and always safe

About: I have always grown up.with pets in the house and mainly they have been XXL size dogs. This makes it a lot easier when it comes to looking after other people's pets especially if they are on the larger side. I currently do a house sitting for a lovely bull mastiff cross Rottweiler and he just loves the time we get to spend together. Please feel free to ask anything else you might want to know I've just currently been made redundant so am looking to just fill my time between finding another job. I will of course keep doing this where possible once I know what my new working schedule will be. I currently have 2 indoor cats so as you can imagine the main priority it making sure they don't attempt the great escape so I'm very conscious of doors and windows being opened. Where they are indoors cats it does mean they need more playtime and interaction so that's never a problem, most of my free time will be playing with them or giving them love

About: I’ve grown up around animals, hamsters, birds, rabbits, cats, dogs, horses. I am happier around animals than I am people most of the time! Being a shift worker I know how hard it is trying to find a walker or someone to call in when you have to work. Now that I have no pets at home it’s a chance for me to help someone else and get all the walks and play and cuddles from other peoples gorgeous animals As a shift worker I get different days off so I can be very flexible. I can help out on awkward dates. I am used to early mornings and late nights and can be about during the day when other people aren’t I have always had dogs and have a secure garden and surrounded by fields and great walking around the village and over the fields. I have no issue with dogs on the sofa!

“Toto was very happy when I returned in the evening. I had a good report during the visit and plenty of photos to confirm his activities. This was my first time leaving him for a full day and I was very reassured by the care he received.”

“This was our first time using Rover and only booked Petra for one drop in, but Theodore was much happier when we got home than when we have left him in a cattery. Petra sent photos and a voice note to update us so that was comforting ? very pleased and would definitely recommend and use again.”

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, fish and chickens so genuinely love all animals. I have a car, so I am able to visit on short notice or walk your pooch further afield. I have experience with small, medium and large dogs (my sister has Irish Wolfhounds) so am very capable whatever the size of animal. Can't offer my flat out (due to the cat) but am happy to house sit for up to a week (with notice). Please feel free to get in touch to discuss further or if you have any other questions about me. I'm a freelancer who works from home with a cat I wish I could walk. I tend to travel a lot for work, but am very free during the winter and long periods in the summer. I have a fenced garden that is medium sized, but the dog would have to be able to get on with my cat. She is friendly.
