Pet Sitting Cawston

About: Animals have always been a passion of mine & nothing beats a wagging tail! Having spent 14 years as a professional dog walker in Surrey, we moved to Norfolk for my husbands job and a slower pace of life, but for me something was missing, my four legged friends. Treating your dog as my own, providing the love, care and attention, that they deserve on their walks and stays. I am DBS checked & having my own Public Liability Insurance for dog walking & sitting. I will provide a safe, fun and sociable service. Sometimes life just stands in the way of providing the time and attention your beloved pet requires. So come walk, feed or play, I will be there. Having moved here recently and settling into our new life in the country, I am not currently working, so it would fit in perfectly with a school run in the mix. I have a large fenced garden, with plenty of space to explore, with a miniature dachshund who loves to socialise and play. I have 2 children, aged 10 & 11, who love dogs, the outdoors & exploring.

About: I have had three dogs of my own so far (two labs and now I just have my small brown dog). I also have two friends with dogs and I look after them occasionally as well. I love dogs and can't walk past one without saying hello (with owners permission of course!) Every pet is treated as an individual with respect and love :-) I work from home so I am available all day for toilet breaks and playing! I also have a dog so dog walks are part of my daily routine. I have a secure 6' fenced garden and a friendly small four year old female dog to play with. Dogs are allowed on my sofas and in my office with me (and as you can see in the photos, also on my bed!).

“Really pleased that we have got Elizabeth looking after our three dogs. They absolutely love her ! She is very professional and very good at what she does . She is very warm and calm with our dogs. It’s great for our family as we know our dogs are in very safe hands . Thank you !”

About: Hi, I’m Alice a dedicated animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. What started with family and friends has grown into a full-time pet care business. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for a wide range of animals, from dogs and cats to small furries like guinea pigs and chinchillas, and even tortoises. Every animal is unique, and I take pride in providing tailored care that suits their individual needs and personalities. I am fully DBS checked, insured, and trained in canine first aid, so you can feel confident knowing your pets are in safe, capable hands. Currently, I have two dogs of my own—one of whom I am actively training to support his reactivity. Because of this, I am not offering boarding services at this time, but I am committed to providing exceptional in-home pet care and reliable dog walking services. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. Our animals are family, and their happiness and safety come first. I aim to give you complete peace of mind by offering honest communication, and loving, attentive care every time. I have a flexible schedule and will work with your needs to best accommodate you. My dog walking slots will close after 3pm, but if you need a time later than that, please feel free to message me and I'm sure we can work something out to suit you. I will take care of your beloved pet as if they were one of my own, being sure to maintain their routine in your home so that they are happy and calm whilst you are away. I will provide daily updates and multiple photos so you can be sure they're living their best lives. And don't worry, I am a very tidy person when you arrive home you won't notice I've even been there.

“Amy was great. Friendly and professional, she did a meet and greet before my trip away and she sent me regular updates and photos of Oscar while I was away. I felt completely confident that Oscar was being well looked after. I’m very happy to recommend Amy!”

“Nicole was great, gave me updates on how our cat was including photos. Our cat seemed very happy and well looked after when we got home, thanks Nicole!”

About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of pets, ranging from small mammals and companion animals. I have cared for tortoises, goldfish, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, cats, and dogs of all ages and temperaments. My experience includes supporting a senior dog recovering from a stroke, ensuring their comfort, safety, and rehabilitation while maintaining their daily routine and health needs. I have also successfully bred and raised dogs, overseeing a mother through three litters of puppies and providing comprehensive care for all puppies until they were eight weeks old. This included monitoring their health, socialization, nutrition, and early training, ensuring each puppy developed strong foundations for lifelong well-being. My approach to pet care is attentive, compassionate, and tailored to each individual animal’s needs, whether it’s maintaining specialized enclosures for reptiles, ensuring proper nutrition and enrichment for small mammals, or providing exercise, stimulation, and medical support for dogs and cats. I am currently working from home, which allows me to build pet care naturally into my daily routine. Caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I provide feeding, fresh water, exercise, enrichment, grooming where needed, and regular health monitoring each day. I also ensure living areas are kept clean and that each animal receives plenty of love, attention, and positive interaction. My flexible schedule means I am able to adapt to the individual needs of each pet, whether that involves walks, playtime, administering medication if required, or simply providing companionship. Whether it's playful dogs, curious cats, or small mammals, every animal is given a safe, happy, and caring environment where their welfare is my priority. Your pets will feel right at home with me. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where animals can relax, play, and thrive. Each pet receives individual attention, regular feeding, exercise, and enrichment tailored to their needs. Whether it’s cuddles for cats, walks for dogs, or proper habitat care for small mammals, I ensure every pet is happy, secure, and well-cared for while in my home.

About: Fully Qualified in pet sitting and dog walking. Full DBS has been completed. I have had previous experience working in a Boarding Kennels. I have had several Dogs myself of many different breeds. I also used to train Greyhounds and Whippets within the Racing environment. I set up the business to continue my love of working with animals. But mainly to provide a service that allows Clients to ensure their pets are well looked after when other commitments call. I know how close to us our pets are so clear communication with my Clients on how their pet is doing would be key. I set up Bark 4 the Lead at the beginning of 2024. This is my full time Job so the pets that are boarded here have my full attention throughout the day and night. I offer dog walking which I complete in the morning for a couple of my Clients. I live in a very quiet area down a service track. The property is fenced in with no other pets in the household. I recommend clients to visit with their pets prior to booking so they feel comfortable and reassured.

“Maya is friendly and seems very happy to pop in and look after our two bengals. They loved her, she played with them and sat with them for a while each visit, they were happy cats when we returned. We were all very reassured by Maya’s relaxed and confident approach, we were happy to leave the cats in her care.”

“I was so pleased to have Ann visit and feed my cat whilst I was away for a couple of days. Communication was easy and I felt confident that my cat was left in good hands, which indeed she was. Thank you!”

“Milly was great with my Labrador. Very kind and caring with him. And very professional overall. Good communication, always let me know how he was, and sent some lovely photos of him. Would definitely recommend.”

“From the first time we met Zanna we knew instantly that she would form a great rapport not only with ourselves but more importantly with our 3 large dogs. This included the elder one who was unwell when Zanna came to dog sit. We have no hesitation in highly recommending Zanna to dog sit and would certainly highly recommend her”

About: I am the proud owner of a golden cocker-spaniel, aged 5, and was also the owner of a wonderful tuxedo cat up until last year! Since the age of 15, neighbours, friends and coworkers have entrusted me with pet care, including dogs and cats, for both short and long stays, and I am passionate about caring for pets! I give them lots of love and attention, and taking care of them safely is my top priority. At the moment, I am studying to become a Speech and Language Therapist at the UEA, but I have plenty of time in my schedule to play with and look after your pets! My schedule is flexible and I am at uni Tuesday to Thursday, but am available for boarding for full weekends, including long weekends extending from Friday until Monday! On Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, I will always be available from 5pm onwards! I am easily adaptable, and will be quick to settle into any routine or patterns your pet is used to at home! I am knowledgeable and experienced with different feeding and bathroom habits, and will always ensure the most comfortable environment for your pet, while giving them all the attention they would like! Having had cats and dogs of my own all my life, and caring for both infant and elderly cats and dogs, I have a broad spectrum of knowledge and perspective on the different needs of your pets. I am willing and able to assist with toilet training or crate training your puppy, and likewise happy to assist with litter training or toilet assisting a kitten or elder cat!

About: Whilst currently I do not have any pets living with me (my two died a few months ago) I am trained in pet nutrition through my previous employment at a specialist pet shop. I am an experienced dog walker and cat sitter with an additional four years working as an animal care assistant at a rescue centre. I believe every animal is unique and deserves to be treated individually. I think understanding their personality, needs and routine is vital to ensure they can feel safe and cared for at all times no matter where their owner may be. I have just graduated from university so am available to start immediately whenever I am required. I have a car so can easily make it to your house. Happy to stay over if longer term care is required by owner. At the minute I am sadly unable to board as I have a very unsteady fence that is currently being mended. As soon as things change, I will update my profile of course.

“Andreas takes good care of Amelie and always sends plenty of pictures so I can be sure she is being looked after.”

About: Hello, I am Sarah-Beth😊 I am a confident and friendly dog lover. In the past 6 years I have experience in cat and dog home visits, and I have been used frequently to house and dog sit while my clients have been away on holiday. My experience has included key holding responsibility, dog walking, cleaning duties, and administering medication. I have a small car so would not be able to transport unfortunately, but I am happy to travel and visit your pooches at home and take them on their favourite local walks. I am currently saving for a house so I am open to all the work I can get. I am interested in arranging regular weekly visits, walks, or house sits for longer periods such as for holidays. Any questions are welcome and I hope to hear from you soon!🤍 I currently work full time at a primary school. I clean the school from 6am-8am, then work as a Teaching Assistant 8:30am-3:30pm. I am hard working and committed. I would be able to attend visits and walks after 3:30pm. I am really into fitness so an after work walk / run is already part of my daily routine. I will also have some weekend availability upon request. I strive to replicate the owners schedule and care habits as best I can to reduce stress for the pet and ensure routine is kept. I lost our family dog in 2021, he was a golden Labrador and he was the most lovable boy. I miss having the company of a pet and would enjoy giving that love to another families special fur baby. I am a budding runner and would love to have a fury friend by my side.

“Recommend by a friend , fast response and lovely person. Very informative and I will be using tali’s service again !”

About: I grew up with various animals and have been a pet owner for 30 years. I’m the go to pet sitter for friends and family. I choose to do pet sitting because I find it incredibly rewarding and love spending my time with animals. I work remotely 90% of the time and can arrange to work 100% remotely from your home if needed. I can give your pet regular cuddles and toilet trips and walk them around my work. My days off are Thursday -Sunday so I will be able to give them extra attention on these days. I will arrange to visit your home beforehand to get to know your pet/s and make sure they and you are happy with me. This also enables me to discuss expectations and security/routine. Due to the nature of my job, I also have an enhanced DBS check.

About: Hi, I’m Abigail! 🐾 After six years in the emergency services, I decided to give up the uniform and follow my passion for dogs, the outdoors, and providing a safe, trustworthy service for pet owners. I provide a calm, secure, and welcoming home where your dog will feel completely at ease. Your dog/s will have constant care, attention, and plenty of affection throughout their stay. I’m home full-time, so your dog’s routine, safety, and happiness are always my priority. I have a large, fully secure garden with 7ft fencing and a locked gate, giving dogs plenty of space to play, explore, and enjoy themselves safely. I share my home with my friendly Irish Setter, Rory, who is gentle, playful, and great with other dogs. He loves company and helps create a relaxed, social environment for visiting dogs. I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages — from young puppies to senior dogs — and I’m confident supporting different needs, routines, and personalities. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter, slower pace, I will adapt to them. I come from a professional background where trust, responsibility, and safety were essential, and I bring that same level of care and attention into looking after every dog. 🐾 What you can expect: * A home-from-home environment * Dogs are never left alone * Secure garden for safe outdoor time * Walks tailored to your dog (on or off lead) * Regular updates, photos, and communication * Flexible and attentive care to suit your dog’s routine I’m very mindful that every dog is different, so I will always follow your instructions closely — from feeding and walking to sleep routines and preferences. I’m happy to care for dogs who may be a little anxious or need extra reassurance — just let me know what helps them feel comfortable. We look forward to welcoming your dog into our home and giving you complete peace of mind ✨ Our calendar is kept up to date daily, and we’re always quick to respond to messages. We’re home seven days a week, so your dog will never be left alone. 🏡 A safe, secure, and relaxed environment My home is spacious and set up to give dogs a calm, safe place to settle in and feel comfortable. The garden is fully secure with 7ft fencing and a locked gate, so dogs can enjoy outdoor time safely. I live on a quiet, secluded street away from main roads, creating a peaceful environment that’s ideal for dogs of all temperaments. The garden is a great size for all breeds, with plenty of room to play, explore, and enjoy a good run around. Large patio doors open directly onto the garden, allowing dogs to move freely between inside and outside when appropriate. They can also be closed to create a calm, cosy space for rest and nap times. Inside, the home is open-plan with plenty of room to relax, along with soft furnishings and lots of toys to keep dogs happy and entertained. For added safety, all human food is kept well out of reach, so you can feel confident your dog is in a secure and carefully managed environment.
