Cat Sitting in County of Herefordshire

“Emma was incredible looking after Forest for us while we went to the states to visit family! I didn’t worry for a moment - she kept us updated with photos, videos and texts. Will totally ask for her help again the next time we go away!!”

About: I have previously had cats and dogs myself. I have looked after dogs and walked them for a long time before I had my children and now we do it as a family. I am available around my childcare (feel free to contact me to discuss further). If walking/drop ins I may have my youngest child with me so a pet that is good around children is ideal although I can be flexible on this. I am available everyday of the week for a dog to stay in my house, however I cannot have cats to stay unfortunately. We also have children so it is essential they are good with kids and are crate trained. I am a trustworthy & reliable person. I have experience letting myself into other peoples home and caring for pets. I am open to visiting with owner before hand to get to know the pet and put owner at ease. Any pets staying will need to be fully crate trained with their own crate provided (open to discussion depending on specifics for the dog) and be good with children as I have 3 children under 5 in the property too.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover. From walking neighbours dogs from the age of 13 to caring for my senior rescue dog, who I had since he was a puppy and I had him for 15 years. I believe animals are family, and should be treated as such. Whether your dog needs walking to burn some energy or just needs a cuddle on the sofa and some company when you’re out, I’m happy to provide whatever your much loved companion needs. When I’m not being a mum or working, I attend local craft events where I sell my handmade jewellery. I also enjoy going for walks in nature, so I would love a furry companion to keep me company as my old boy, Lego, recently went over rainbow bridge. I have a large fenced garden with lockable double gates. I have ducks, who are kept in secure pen. Both my children are over 10 years and absolutely love animals. When walking your dog, unless confirmed that they have good recall, they will remain on a retractable lead as their safety is priority. Treats will not be given unless first agreed with the owner. I am happy to take dogs to vet or grooming appointments should this be requested.

About: I've taken care of all types of animals since I was a child. All throughout adulthood I have never been without my beloved pets. I raised a litter of Staffordshire Bull Terriers and even assisted in the delivery which was such a special moment. I'm a very active person and love walking dogs and seeing the joy in their faces. I currently have an adorable female cat (Hollie) who I adopted from France a few years ago. However, I very much miss spending time with dogs, having owned dogs for most of my life. I am responsible and caring and you can rest assured that your pets wellbeing is my absolute priority. I am currently working self employed and part time on my own set schedule and so I can be very flexible according to your needs. I follow your instructions to the letter - for example if your dog must stay on a lead or certain boundaries in the garden. I will tend to stick to the dogs usual timings when it comes to food times / walking etc so that as little disruption is caused to their routine as possible. I can offer extra long walks for very active dogs and indoor playtime for smaller/less active dogs where suitable.

About: I am a BSc Animal Behaviour & Welfare graduate, and hold a Canine First Aid certificate. I work part time dog walking for an established business, therefore I am DBS checked and insured. I have experience volunteering in puppy training classes, a dog daycare and rescue centres with cats and dogs which developed my skills in reading dog and cat body language. I’ve been looking after dogs, cats and a variety of other animals since I was a child and have always been animal obsessed. I grew up with four high energy dogs (2 cocker spaniels, a springer spaniel and a Dalmatian). I have my own 3 year old Golden Retriever called Sully who I raised from a puppy, he is a very amicable, polite boy and gets on great with other dogs. I also own two Bengal cats Koda and Bruno who have heaps of energy and keep me on my toes! I’m currently working part time as a dog walker so I have some spare time around that to look after your pets, drop me a message and I can try and fit you in - meet and greets required before the walking/sitting. I provide dog walking and drop ins for dogs, cats and can discuss other pets too. I cannot offer boarding due to my indoor cats.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cared for my dog throughout her life (14 years) including managing medication in senior years. Have assisted with the care of multiple puppy litters. Also cat-minded and house-sat for different neighbours. I’m currently working part-time/flexibly and am able to commute by car. My schedule changes weekly and allows for ease of balancing any pet care arrangements. I always take dogs out early morning so they have time to toilet and can get some energy out! Love walking especially with dogs so can assure they would get exercise! Have cared for dogs with separation anxiety previously so well versed with leaving a radio on or following a set schedule to reduce any tension.

“We are so pleased that we found Joella to catsit our Oscar. Joella is a very warm and kind person, very good with pets. Oscar loved her. We definitely gonna use her services again ☺️ Thank you 🩷”

About: I have looked after many different types of dog for the past 6 years For friends, family members and people who I’ve been recommended too I am currently working part time and the hours are flexible/work from home so I have plenty of time for your pets and their needs I have a house with a fenced garden and plenty of space, I have room for crates if needed but they are free to go anywhere in my home /garden

About: I’ve been looking after my own animals and friends and families ever since i was a child, i’m excited to meet your fluffy cuties too. I currently work away in the week and have work from home days, so i spend lots of time at home where i have the capacity to look after some fur babies. I have a fenced garden and a dog flap, if they feel more comfortable sleeping in bed with me they definitely can too. They’ll get lots of cwtches and strokes.

About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life. As a child I had a collie growing up and then while bringing my young children up we had hamsters, cats and fish. Recently the family cat passed away so it’s strange having no furry companion in the home when I’ve had it my whole life. Both of my grown up children have dogs who I love walking and looking after and playing with. I retired early at the age of 55, so now I spend my time in the gym, spending time with my 1yr and a half grand daughter or with my sons labradoodle and cat who I look after when they go away or I frequently go and walk the dog when they are busy. I’ve also looked after my daughters mixed breed (staffie/frenchdog) in Belfast. So my day can revolve around your pet whether they love attention or rather be more independent I have a fenced garden and can drive to more scenic big walks or live local to fields and small walks. The dog is welcome throughout the home to feel relaxed

About: I have my own dog who would benefit from the company of another dog. I have cared for dogs and cats for the past 5 years, handling, feeding, grooming, and regular walks, ensuring they stay healthy and happy . I work from home 2/5 days in the week so I am able to provide sitting in my own home on these days. I am also available weekends and in the evenings. I always ensure pets are safe and comfortable when caring for them in their own home. I follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain their routines and preferences. With a DBS check, you can trust that I provide reliable and responsible care while treating your home and pets with respect.

About: I’ve loved animals since I can remember and always had a variety of pets from an early age. I studied animal care in college and have experience looking after animals of all ages from birth to senior. I often look after friends and families dogs either at my house for long stays or a nice country walk. I’ve also built my cats their very own climbing cubby and have a basket full of toys for your furry friends. I have 2 cats one kitten and one senior they both have been brought up with dogs and welcome other animals, if your fur baby doesn’t like cats that’s no issue as I can easily keep my babies separate. I currently work to my own schedule so have plenty of time to play and care for your babies they will have my full attention. I’m available for boarding, sitting or even just a dog walk any time that suits you everyday including weekends :D I have a very spacious ground floor flat so can keep animals separate if needs be although my two cats are very welcoming and get along with dogs. I have a fenced, gated garden that animals will always be supervised in. If I’m sitting in your home it will be respected and will follow your animals routine.

About: I am a registered veterinary nurse with experience dealing with a range of different animals from small and furry to big and slobbery! I will treat your pet like me family! Unfortunately I am unable to look after pets in my home due to lack of space and garden. I am confident dealing with different ages, temperaments, medical conditions and personalities. I work part time and can work with you to ensure your pet is appropriately cared for. If I know dates in advance, I can book time off to ensure I am there for your pet if your pet isn’t used to being left during the day time. I ensure that routine and needs are thoroughly discussed with you before hand. Keeping an animals routine the same can help them settle when owners are away. Unless otherwise discussed with others, when walking dogs they are always kept on the lead and away from other dogs. This is to reduce risk of other dogs, cars, other humans and dogs running off. They will be less willing to come back to a stranger but I will take them out for walks more often if they usually have a good run around the field!
