Cat Sitting in Bute

About: Have grown up surrounded by animals, hamsters, rabbits, cats & dogs. Recently said goodbye to my 16 year old collie who I doted on. Walk my Aunt & Uncles dog every other day from the age of 8 weeks old and have worked hard to train her into the amazing dog she is today. Currently not working so have lots of free time to care for your pets and provide drop in visits. Love the outdoors and experiencing the beauty that Inverclyde and surrounding areas have to offer. Treat all pets as though they are my own. I will care for your pet in their own home by ensuring they feel safe, comfortable and loved whilst sticking to their normal routine. I follow all instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks or playtime to ensure that your pet remains happy and stress free. I also provide plenty of affection, attention and updates so that you know your pet is in safe hands.

About: With years or experience caring (and loving on) a range of animals, I treat every animal like my own- belly rubs, treats, and all. Whether it's playtime, walkies, cuddles or just some good company, I'm here to keep tails wagging and whiskers twitching while you are away. Currently teaching part-time. I am available end of week and weekends to help you enjoy your well earned time off, and allowing me to get outdoors and spend time with the best furry friends. I have a spacious flat that has easy access garden and nature walks, not too close to busy traffic areas. Your fur baby can have any space required, including own room if necessary.

“Great Sitter, Looked like Aoife and Robyn had a great time together. Communication was great and Robyn kept me updated on how things were going during the visit. All good!”

About: I'm passionate about animals and would love to spend more of my time caring and looking after animals. I'm a very keen hiker and love taking my own dog out for long walks (in all weather!) both in the local area and around the Highlands. I have a 0.2 acre fenced garden in a beautiful, quiet and remote area which is perfect for animals. I'm currently working part time as a mental health nurse in the NHS. This gives me a lot of flexibility to spend more time with animals! I have a large fenced garden and a lovely docile dog (Rozi) who can keep your pet company! I am happy to take your pet out for solo walks if preferred!

About: Hi, I’m Gemma! I’ve been around animals my whole life and absolutely love caring for them. I grew up with a sweet springer spaniel who was by my side for 15 years, and these days, I regularly look after my mum’s eight working spaniels whenever she’s away—so I’m very comfortable managing multiple dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I have experience with everything from playful puppies to gentle senior dogs, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I also have a 1.5-year-old cat at home who keeps me on my toes, so I understand the unique needs of our feline friends too. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, long walks, or keeping up with daily routines, I’m here to make sure your pets are happy and well looked after while you’re away. I work full-time Monday to Friday (9–5 Mon–Thurs, and 9–1 on Fridays), but I’m always available in the evenings and on weekends to give pets the love and attention they need. While I’m at work, my fiancé—who works from home—is also around and happy to help. He loves having some company during the day and would be there to keep your pets company, provide cuddles, and make sure they’re not feeling lonely. Together, we make a great team, offering a loving and attentive environment for pets throughout the week! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities—whether I’m offering dog walking, boarding in my home, or pop-in visits at yours. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, needs, and routine so they feel secure, settled, and loved. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. There are cozy spots to relax, toys to play with, and a calm, clean environment that’s perfect for both high-energy pets and those who just want to chill. My fiancé works from home full-time and is around during the day to offer company, cuddles, and care—especially great for pets who don’t like being alone. I’m available in the evenings and on weekends for walks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. When I’m dog walking, I always prioritize safety—dogs are kept on-lead unless we’re in a secure, enclosed area and you’ve given the go-ahead. I tailor each walk to suit your dog’s age, energy level, and temperament, whether that means a long countryside stroll or a gentle sniff around the block. For pop-in visits, I make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need while you’re out—whether that’s feeding, letting them out for a toilet break, playing, or just some cuddles and company. I stick to their regular schedule to keep things stress-free and familiar. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat it with the same care and respect I’d want in mine, and I’ll keep your pet’s routine consistent to help them feel comfortable. I believe in clear communication and building trust, so I’m always happy to send updates and photos, giving you total peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have a passion for all animals and I have decided to follow my passion and help look after your furry friends. Animals have been an important part of my life for as long as I can remember. When you trust me with your pets, I will treat them like my own, like family. I currently work part time, as a support worker, and the rest of my time I look after animals. I have a flexible schedule and can usually accommodate last minute bookings. When looking after your pet in your own home, your pet will be more comfortable than in a strange, different environment. I will treat your home with respect and ensure everything is how you left it.

About: Fully Licensed & Insured I have previously had the pleasure of owning Rudi, a 'rescue dog' and have watched him grow and develop into a super pet. My cat Bruce, would occasionally accompany us in the evening, for a walk to the waterfront, where we watch the waves splash against the shore. I have also cared for other peoples pets over the years, boarding them at home in my semi-detached house, with secure front and back gardens, in a quiet cul-de-sac. The village is in a beautiful location which is perfect for dog adventures - be that walking up into the hills, playing frisbee or fetch, swimming in the river, racing through the forests, or splashing through the waves on the beach. There is never a dull moment and I have as much fun as the dogs! I am a full time pet carer, offering overnight and day boarding, walking and wedding day pet care. I can care for holiday-makers dogs should they fancy a day visit or water based trip to which they cannot take their pet. Other requests always considered such as toilet breaks or cat feeding...just ask! I have a fully enclosed garden in a quiet cul de sac. My dog-guests live in the house as if they were my own. In the summer we relax in the garden and in the winter we curl up in front of the log burner. Whilst staying with me, each pet will wear one of my tags on their collar, which has my phone number on and dogs will only be let off lead if I have the owners permission.

About: I have taken care of dogs from labradors to poodles and i have helped bathe, feed, walk, and care for my families and friends dogs for many years. I am currently a Uni student with a lot of free time in which i am able to care and play with your pups! i also have free time throughout the week and am able to pop in and make sure that your pup is okay through out the day. i can crate your dog if needed and am able to make sure while they are outside that they are tended to and in a safe environment free from any injuries.

“Janine was lovely and would highly recommend. You can tell she has years of caring for dogs in lots of different capacity from walking, training and home stays. We're going to book her again very soon. Thanks so much Janine.”

“Michael visited our dogs twice as we would be out all day. He fed walked and played with them during his visits. He kept us up yo date with text and photos. We would not hesitate to recommend Michael to anyone looking for the services he provides.”

About: I grew up around dogs all my life. I have lived with and cared for all different breeds, sizes and ages and have loved every minute. I currently have a 5 year old boxer named Jaffar, who is the perfect measure of a gentle giant and a friendly playmate. Jaffar is great around all dogs, he has shared his home with many and we have never had an issue. Jaffar will welcome any canine companions in to share his toys, sofa and bed (he hasn’t figured out the bed is to sleep in but he does use it as a pillow). While your pet is having its sleep over it will have full access to all rooms and furniture in the house as well as the back garden. If you have certain requirements for your pup during their or stay then I will actively seek to meet these to make this a home away from home. I can fit pet care in to my routine with as little or as much notice as possible. I have a flexible schedule at work and tend to put my dog first and fit my work around that. I can be flexible on taking care of someone’s pet either at my home or theirs. I would just like their pet to feel as at home as possible. I have a back garden with astroturf so this can be accessed in all weathers and various walking routes on my doorstep.
