Cat Sitting Compton

“Isobel did a wonderful job making sure The Boy(tm) was doing well while I was gone. I got updates letting me know how he was doing and it sounds like they got on well, having shared many a chin scritch. Will certainly be considering Isobel for future cat care requirements”

About: I have long experience looking after my own animals over the years, dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, ducks and guinea fowl. I have lived in remote places and had to adapt as situations arose. Now returning to Oxfordshire I want to broaden to looking after animals when people need the help of someone with common sense and a love for animals. I am currently at home and therefore very flexible, I do work away from home periodically and am looking for a job that takes me outside in the fresh air and don't mind the weather. I am happy to get out and about with your pet as well as be at home. I'm just as happy sitting and keeping company as I am doing food, hygiene, medicines and visits out. I don't have any pets in my current home so am able to be fully focused on yours.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs & other animals all my life, I love them & working with them makes me incredibly happy, I’m hoping this can be the start of something great for me. I will happily look after any pets that you own, I have a car & so can drive around to different areas to look after pets & take the pets out in the car for walks if needed I currently work full time, so hoping to fit this into my evening weekdays & weekends when im not at work. Anytime before 8am on weekdays or after 5pm on weekdays or anytime on weekends I will be looking after pets in your home & so you will know how safe the area for your pet is. I will also take your pets out on walks & if you dont have your own equipment, I’ll be bringing some with me

“It can be a leap of faith having a stranger in your house, but meeting Sarah before we left was reassuring. She met our cat and was clearly not going to be fazed by any 'presents' that might be brought in. We were sent almost daily updates and photos, and our cat was very chilled with her. We would definitely use Sarah again. ”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with several years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I currently have two dogs, including a puppy, which has given me valuable experience with puppy training, routines, socialisation, and the extra patience and consistency that young dogs need. Over the past year, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for a wide variety of pets through Rover, as well as for friends and family. From tiny Chihuahuas to energetic Staffies, older dogs needing a gentler pace, and households with multiple pets, every booking has helped me build my knowledge and confidence. I’m proud to have received excellent reviews for my reliable, friendly, and caring approach. Sadly, I lost my beloved 16-year-old cat in July 2026, who had been part of my family for many years. That experience has only strengthened my understanding of how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to leave them with someone you can genuinely trust. I’m currently looking for a new full-time career, which means I have much greater flexibility for bookings and can often accommodate daytime care, longer stays, and last-minute requests. Animals genuinely bring me joy, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My priority is always to make sure they feel safe, happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, giving you complete peace of mind. I work full-time Monday to Friday in Basingstoke and live in Newbury, with occasional days in Reading, so I can cover a wide area for pet care. I’m mainly available for weekend stays and evening visits during the week for feeding, playtime, and cuddles. For weekday stays, I’m out between 8:30 AM and 6:30 PM (dependant on the location) but your pets will always get plenty of love before and after! I also offer dog walks in the Basingstoke area on weekdays, as that’s where I work (9:30–5:30). I do my best to follow each pet’s routine and keep things as comfortable and consistent as possible! Your pets safety will always be my top priority. At home, my own cat is kept safe with a magnetic tag cat flap that only opens for her, and our garden is fully fenced to prevent any escapes. After discovering gap under the bush where animals could slip through to the neighbours, we quickly secured it with chicken wire - problem solved! I believe in creating a calm and secure environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow consistent routines, maintain a healthy diet for my own pets, and always use positive reinforcement - praise and the occasional treat - for good behaviour. You can trust that your furry friend will be in a safe and loving space while you are away.

“Ginnie was absolutely fantastic looking after our fur baby Cleo, it was the first time using this app and Ginnie and we felt so reassured and comfortable the whole time we were away. Ginnie provided lovely photo updates and we would 100% use her again to look after Cleo. Thank you so much Ginnie!”

About: As well as owning my own two dogs for seven years, for three years aboard, I worked in local dog pounds. I have helped care for and trained numerous different dogs. I have trained them with the basics such as sit, wait, and down, I have also helped them with anxiety issues, social issues, and learning to trust humans again. During this time, I also fostered 10+ dogs, from tiny puppies to dogs that were 5 or 6 years old, with health issues. I thoroughly enjoyed my time spending time with these dogs, nurturing them and showing them what a loving environment is about. I currently work part time and am able to fit in pet visits and walking Mon - Fri 9.30 -14.30 dog walking. I am also available every other weekend as well. I can easily crate your dog if they have anxiety issues and require a safe space. I am respectful of a dog / cat in their home environment and any rules you have for your home I will adhere to and respect. If you require muddy paws wiped before entry, a groom before bed, biscuits laid out before I leave them please let me know.

About: I have been a dog owner since my early childhood. I have experience looking after puppies as well as senior dogs. I currently have a very energetic dog that requires lots of walks. She is very friendly and misses a lot her companion, our dachshund that passed away 3 years ago. I am in full time employment, however I work from home twice a week, Mondays and Fridays. I am also available for dog walks and pet sitting most weekends. I can house and pet sit or do drop in visits as and when needed provided it is within a driving distance and detailed instructions are provided with regards to pet care if your pet has custom requirements.

“She was amazing at taking care of my cat while I was away on holiday. Sent me photos and little updates on how my cat was doing which helped tons in knowing she was well cared for. My cat fell in love with her and will definitely come back when I go on holiday again.”

“Have used Cora a number of times now. Very reassuring to find somebody you are comfortable with to look after your beloved pets. No issues with booking. Times are kept, photos videos shared and no issues on our return. One of our dogs is quite a nervous dog and can be difficult. Cora has been excellent with her so great to hear she has become quite settled with Cora - thanks Cora”

I believe every pet has a unique personality, and I always make sure to respect their individual needs and routines. As a stay-at-home mom and therapist, I work mainly from home with occasional online sessions. This gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for your dog throughout the day. I can provide walks, playtime, and lots of attention to make sure your pup feels happy and safe. I live with my husband and two kids (ages 11 and 17), and we are all animal lovers. We have a secure fenced yard both in the front and back of the house, giving dogs plenty of safe space to play and explore. I also have a pug friendly at home who love company, and I can crate your dog if needed for safety or comfort.

Pricing can be flexible also. Contact me to discuss details further! I have just finished a Master’s degree and am now job searching for a conservation-based job. I have plenty of free time for pet walking and sitting. I am happy to follow your guidance for preferences on walking and sitting schedules. I am currently unable to board dogs in my own home
