“Lily was amazing with my cat Penny! She listened and did everything that my needy little cat needed! She kept me updated and provided lots of photos to keep me at ease during my trip away. Thank you Lily from Christine & Penny x”


“Lisa is great! She looked after our cat really well while we were away over Christmas. We loved having the daily update and seeing photos of Oreo enjoying plenty of attention. It is so obvious that Lisa is a true animal lover and really cares about her charges. Nothing phased her including clearing up cat sick and a couple of dead mice in the house! I have no hesitation in recommending Lisa’s services and will be booking her again next time we go on holiday. 😊”


“Freya was amazing with Beni! She is super organized, made sure to keep records of everything, and took him for a looong walk - exactly what he needed. Thank you so much for taking such good care of him, highly recommend!”


“Shirley, Thank you ! You are amazing ,Alfie was so happy and content with and it was lovely to go out and know he was in such safe caring hands.. We were so worried about leaving him because of his anxiety, but with you he was absolutely fine ! You are such a genuine caring person and we are so glad we found you. Look forward to seeing you to sit with Alf in September .”


About: I have helped to take care of my family dogs from the age of 9, when we fostered our first hearing dog puppy. Growing up socialising hearing dogs for the deaf means that I have experience with a lot of puppy care and training. My mother also opened her own dog training business for a while so I learnt a lot from her during that process. I have a great love for all animals and would love to help you care for yours! I am a self employed performer, working part time in a local restaurant, so I have lots of time during the week to look after your lovely pups. I usually work Friday and Saturday evenings and Sundays during the day with the occasional dance class or weekday evening shift thrown in, but I always know of thee changes at least 2 weeks in advance. So I am able to facilitate whatever works best for you! I will make sure that your dog gets plenty of attention and lots of walks, regardless of weather (unless you specify that you want me to stay in the house with your dog). I will make sure to only let them off their lead in enclosed safe environments and only feed them any treats or foods that you have approved first.

About: I love heading back to my parents in Oxfordshire to look after our family Cocker Spaniel when I get the chance! We call him Naughty Nev! I work full time as a Landscape Architect, typically 9-5, however I have flexibility with working from home and my starting/finishing hours can vary if needed. Ideally walks/drop ins would be before 9am, lunch time and after 5pm, however I am happy to discuss timings and your preferences to figure out what works best for you and your dog 🐶 I don't currently have any of my own furry friends as I live in a rented flat with my partner. We do have a lovely communal garden though!

“I booked with Kiera for a week for my cat Suki and she was great! Kiera sent lots of pictures while I was away and, despite being a shy cat, Suki was very happy with her! Kiera was very attentive and respectful, I will definitely book with her again 😊”

“After moving to the area, I was anxious to find a sitter as good as my previous, and Georgina completely alleviated any worries I had! She was kind, thorough, communicative and her updates made me laugh! Couldn't have asked for a better person to look after my boys ☺️💕 Would definitely book again!”


“I had complete confidence in Gemma who dropped in to feed my cats while I was away. She sent photos each day which was reassuring as they are outdoor cats. I can recommend Gemma and would use her again”


About: I’ve cared for my own cat for the past 18 years, starting back when I lived in Birmingham. From kittenhood to senior years, I’ve handled every stage of her life feeding, grooming, administering medication, and giving her plenty of love and attention. This long-term experience has taught me patience, consistency, and how to meet the changing needs of an animal over time I work full time so any time after 5pm from Monday - Thursday is great. Friday to Sunday, anytime is fine! I can go stay overnight too if need be Over the years, I’ve become the go-to animal carer in my family, looking after both dogs and cats with dedication and affection. I make sure they’re well-fed, exercised, groomed, and kept comfortable, whether that means long walks for energetic dogs, play sessions for curious kittens, or gentle care for older pets who need a softer touch. I’ve also cared for my own cat for 18 years, guiding her through every life stage with patience and love. This experience has taught me to read an animal’s needs, adapt to their personality, and provide a safe, happy environment. I’d bring the same level of attentiveness and compassion to caring for someone else’s pet as I do for my own, ensuring they feel secure, stimulated, and loved while their owner is away

“Shannon was amazing as a house sitter! My cat was well looked after and the house was as I left it! 10/10 would recommend as the experience was so nice and easy! Would 100% book again!”


“I cannot recommend Tatiana-fleur enough! She stepped in at the last minute after another sitter dropped out, and I couldn’t have been more grateful. Despite the short notice, she was professional, communicative, and took excellent care of my cat. She provided updates with photos, and it was clear my cat was in great hands. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter, look no further.”


About: Over the past year I have gained experience in dog care working at my local dog kennels. Working there, I met a lot of different temperaments and breeds of dog and had to learn about how to personalise your care for the different types of dogs and their needs. I dealt with feeding time, medication, play time and hygiene such as grooming, poo picking and cleaning up after them. Although we never had a dog growing up, I have a lot of love for them and always enjoyed going round to friends and families houses to play with theirs and so I get a long with them well. We did however have a cat growing up for a short period. He was an older cat that someone had to sell on and we miss him alot. I feel very comfortable around cats and absolutely love playing with them or just chilling with them. I realise cats don't take as much time to care for as dogs and drop in visits would probably suffice. I am happy to accept cats in my home for longer periods and would charge less accordingly. I have put down five years pet care experience as we have had numerous small pets over the years such as guinea pigs, fish and hamsters which needed attention and care. I have also looked after friends and families dogs, along with working at a dog kennels for a year so I feel it is an apt judgment of my experience. Thank you for considering me, and I hope to see you and your pets soon :) I am university student currently and looking to earn a bit of money but also experience looking after people's pets. During term time I attend University 4 times a week for a couple of hours and during the holidays I live in Cheltenham. If you require me to be at your house, home sitting, I will be available 24 hours minus these times I am at university and can be very flexible with my schedule around your pets needs. I am happy to do drop in visits or dog walks anytime as well as I have no other commitments. I am happy to come to your house to look after your dog or even for a visit to take them out for a walk. Let me know how they like to play and I will most likely spend the whole time having fun with them. I will make sure to keep them in their usual routine so they won't even realise your gone! I would like to take them for a walk somewhere a bit different than they are used to if you are comfortable with that as it can be a good opportunity for someone with the time to let you pet's have a real good explore. I love a long walk just as much as your furry friend. If I am looking after a cat, I will definitely let them sus me out before trying to introduce playing or being too tactile. It might take longer for a cat to adjust to a new person but I have the patience for it for sure.

About: Hi there, I'm Clare, a working professional who adores animals. I have grown up with pets around the house since the day I was born and have lots of experience with both dogs and cats. Sadly, my lovely lab (Poppy) passed away last year (at 16 years old!) and life has never been the same. I'm now looking to love and look after doggies in the Cheltenham area whilst their mums and dads are away or at work. In order to provide the love and attention that your fur-kids deserve, I only take one booking at a time for pet-sitting. I understand that leaving pets behind can be daunting, so I send regular updates and photos of them enjoying every day to put your mind at ease I have a flexible working pattern and am able to work from home on most days. I do not work on weekends. Please get in touch regarding availability as I will always try to accommodate. I am able to provide pet-sitting, drop-ins and walks and understand the importance of good company, stimulation, exercise and cuddles for a happy, healthy doggy. I live in a ground floor flat that is lovely, comfortable and spacious for your pets. There is a safe, enclosed garden attached to the apartment. There are plenty of nearby options for plenty of lovely walks and regular toilet trips. I will never walk your dog off-lead, unless you advise that you are comfortable with this.

“Amy was absolutely great. She was able to accommodate a short notice request and made time to meet before looking after Maisy. She was a pleasure to deal with and I received lovely daily updates on the visits. I highly recommend Amy.”


About: I've had dogs my whole life so I am well experienced with dogs of all ages from puppy to senior. I have also had cats, hamsters and fish. I absolutely love animals and think they make our lives better. I have three fur babies of my own Buffy, the golden retriever, Ronnie, the rescue and Tiny Ted. As well as my love for animals, I have a lovely for art and currently work part time as an illustrator and host art workshops. This leaves me plenty of time during the day to walk, play and take care of your beloved family fur babies. Most pets are more comfortable in their own home than someone else's, especially if their owner is away. That's why I like to offer visits and overnight stays in your own home to make your pets feel at ease. I am happy to take your dog in my car, I have a doggy car cover in the back and can clip them in with a harness.
