Pet Sitting Chippenham

“Fiver stars to Dom for being a very reliable cat sitter with lots of common sense! I found Dom both friendly and professional when we met for the first time at our house. He was prompt and accommodating and even managed a last-minute meet and greet before we went on holiday. Dom looked after our 2 beautiful, fluffy cats for 3 sessions (alternate days over 6 days). Although they are very shy indoor cats, Dom tried hard to engage with them by calling their names. He also communicated with me, asked questions when he was not sure about something, and sent photos of their litter box and food via Rover and WhatsApp during each visit. Thank you so much for your amazing service, Dom, I have no hesitation in re-booking you for our next holiday and recommending you to other cat owners.”

“Kennedi has been our pet sitter for over a year now and we are so pleased with her service. She always sends nice updates and photos of her visits and takes the time to play with our cat as well as checking food/water/litter. I feel she genuinely loves animals and will definitely use her services again for future holidays.”

“As always, great service from Davide, with prompt feedback and such lovely attention to detail. We feel very safe leaving our cat in his hands.”

About: I don’t have transport so can only look after pets in the Chippenham area. I have 14 years raising collies who have a lot of energy so need a lot of patience. I also trained two puppies so have been to plenty of puppy classes. My last dog got to the rip old age of 14 so have experience looking after elderly dogs. I will treat you dog like it’s one of my own. I only work for a couple of hours in the evening so have plenty of time to look after your pet. I usually do some volunteer work but this is flexible and I can fit my work around your pet. I would care for your pet in your home. I would give them lots of love and make sure all their needs are seen to. I would respect your home and make sure i leave it nice and clean. I would keep to your pets routine as much as possible. I would provide regular updates through messages and photos.

About: Hi! If you’re looking for a lovely countryside spot for your pup, either for the day or for a longer stay, I’d love to help out! I have 1.5 acres of fenced in land (the wall is only about 4 feet in some spots so please let me know if you have an escape artist). I also have lots of space in my house for fun, whether they love to sunbathe on the patio or go for a splash in the paddling pool or even play scent games in the bushes. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life. I adore them! In 2022, I rescued my girl, Kiki. She came to me with severe reactivity and people and dog aggression so I have plenty of experience managing difficult dogs. I am not a dog trainer but I have worked with many and am prepared to deal with dogs of all personalities and needs. I have raised dogs using force free training methods and also have experience using e-collar, prong, and other aversive tools so however you have trained your dog, I am comfortable managing them. I am happy and willing to take care of any kind of dog (dangerous dog breeds included). I can keep the dogs in my care separated so can take dogs in heat as well. I have several crates if you crate train, otherwise plenty of couches for the dogs to dose on :) I do ask that if your dog poses a bite risk to people or dogs that they come muzzle trained. If they aren’t, I am still willing to care for them but would likely exercise them on my property to avoid risks to the public. Whatever you need, I’m willing to work with you to make sure your dog has a lovely stay and you have a stress free break! I work away from home four times a week and am usually out for five hour periods. Otherwise, if I am out, the dogs can generally come with me in the car. Most of my time is spent at home though! I have 1.5 acres of fenced in space on my land. We also have another two acres of open field and then miles and miles of public trails plus some really great spots on the river if your dog likes to swim. Plenty of adventure for doggies. There are quite a few deer and rabbits (as well as livestock which I always leash around) in the fields so unless your pup has solid recall, I will not risk having them off leash outside of my fenced in area. If your dog is only with me for a short stay, I won’t introduce them to my dog as Kiki is dog specific and I don’t like to risk any tension between her and other animals. I have space for four other dogs in my home to be separated easily. Friendships during longer stays are very dependent on each dog and if they can be neutral around each other. Of course if your dog is reactive or aggressive, I am happy to accommodate that and avoid dog/people interactions completely. As the owner of a reactive and previously aggressive dog, it was always my hope that I could find someone to care for my dog who understood the risks and was fully knowledgeable of the responsibility associated with higher risk dogs without paying crazy prices for a specialized kennel. I am not a trainer but I will care for your dog the way you do and I will love them the way you do :) My main goal is to give you peace of mind while you travel and make sure your pup has a great time.

“Great communication before during and after Sophie’s visit. Bert was very content on our return. Would definitely recommend Sophie and will be in touch when we require services again”

“Smaranda looked after our cat at short notice, she was completely reliable, unphased about giving him his medicine and obviously has a way with cats as he took to her straight away. Couldn’t have asked for more.”

“I'm so pleased I trusted Tom to visit Holly whilst my husband and I were in London. She's 13 years old, and had never experienced visits from someone unfamiliar before. But she looked really comfortable and content in the photos Tom sent of the visits, which I was so reassured by. He made sure she had time outside and lots of attention. Would very much recommend!”

“Fay was a wonderful sitter for our two cats! She was diligent, punctual and affectionate with the cats and they clearly enjoyed their time with her. We really appreciated her daily reports and photos so we were fully in the loop while we were away. I would highly recommend Fay for any type of visit. Thank you!”

Devon A.

“Richard was a perfect choice for drop-in visits for Rascal, particularly with his experience of re-homing stray and rescue cats, as he knows the vagaries of character and the nervous behaviour that can be shown. I felt very assured as soon as I met Richard, that all would be well whilst I was away. It was really nice to see photos of Rascal and to be reassured that he was coping with the change of person administering his daily routine and that all was well. Everything was neat and tidy and cleared away on my return. I would certainly recommend Richard for all pet duties, and I will be booking again in the future.”

“Davide and his partner took Bailey out for a nice walk and helped dry him and clean his mucky paws when he was returned to stay with my 85 year old parents. Bailey was very happy afterwards Thank you guys”

About: I've been around dogs for most of my life and have owned two wonderful Labrador Retrievers since I was 8 years old. Growing up with them has given me plenty of hands-on experience with everything from daily walks and feeding routines to playtime, training, and making sure they're happy and well cared for. Anyone who knows me will tell you I'm the biggest dog lover in our friendship group! I absolutely adore dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Whether your dog is small or large, energetic or more relaxed, I'll make sure they receive the care, attention, and affection they deserve. One of the great benefits I can offer is that I work in a dog-friendly office, so if appropriate for your dog, they'll be able to come with me during the day rather than being left at home. They'll enjoy a sociable environment with plenty of company, attention, and opportunities for interaction throughout the day. I work Monday to Friday, but your dog's care will always be my priority. If your dog is sociable and you're happy for them to do so, they're very welcome to join me at my dog-friendly office, where they'll enjoy plenty of company and attention throughout the day. If your dog would be happier at home, I'll come home during my lunch break (12:00–1:00 pm) to take them for a walk, spend quality time with them, and make sure they have lots of fuss and attention before I head back to work. I'll then be home by around 4:15 pm at the latest for the rest of the evening. Dogs staying with me will enjoy walks in the morning, at lunchtime, and in the evening if that's what suits their exercise needs. Every dog is different, so I'll always tailor their routine to what they're used to and what makes them happiest. In the evenings, my partner Alex and I are both at home, so there'll be plenty of playtime, cuddles, enrichment, and quality time to help your dog feel settled and loved. I live in a spacious first-floor, two-bedroom, two-bathroom open-plan apartment, providing plenty of room for dogs to relax, play, and feel at home. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, so I'm happy to accommodate your preferences. If your dog is crate-trained and you would like them crated for sleeping or when appropriate, I'm more than happy to do so. Our home is calm and quiet, with no children and no other pets, making it an ideal environment for dogs who enjoy a peaceful space or prefer being the only pet in the home. I'll always follow your instructions to help keep your dog comfortable, happy, and feeling secure throughout their stay.

“Victoria was great, she dropped in to feed our dog & cat, & walk our dog, whilst we were away for a couple of days. She was very caring, & sent us updates & pictures each time she visited. She also helped us by filling in with an extra visit as we were going to late returning.”

Julian R.

“Sophie came to feed & walk our dog Otis at short notice, and she was great! Super organised & efficient, and she was able to make friends with Otis very quickly. Very happy dog… and owners!”

Julian R.

“Amber has been fantastic! She is knowledgeable and so kind. This has been our first experience leaving our dog and she really put our minds at ease. She is also lovely and easy going.”

Natalia K.

“Amy was very responsive and was able to met my request with less than a weeks notice. The visit went smoothly and the photos of my pup were just lovely.”

Victoria R.

“Holly was amazing with all the animals and I didn’t have to worry about them at all. She followed all the instructions to a T. I loved that she gave me regular photo updates. I came home and all the animals seemed so happy, even the ones that usually hold a grudge for a few days when I leave! The house and all the animals were cleaned when I came home which was a relief after a long flight! I will definitely be asking Holly to stay next time I go away :)”
