Cat Sitting in County of Herefordshire

“Emma was great and our pet Inca was much better for Emma visits compared to how stressed when take out of her home.”

“Good communication. On time.”

“I have known Lynsey for 4+ years and can attest to her love and devotion for animals. Lynsey has her own dogs and has helped look after my own dogs and the surrounding neighbourhood dogs which gives her ample of experience in caring for and taking responsibility for their wellbeing. Lynsey has always shown great empathy and patience towards animals, treating them with the upmost love and respect. I have witnessed lynsey go above and beyond to ensure the comfort and safety of her own pets and mine, and I have no doubt that lynsey will do the same for any dogs under her care. In addition to lynsey’s inherent love for animals, Lynsey is also responsible, trustworthy, and punctual. Lynsey takes her commitments very seriously and will follow through on her word. I believe these traits are essential when putting your most loved fur babies into the care of others, establishing trust not only with the animals but also with you their owners. I cannot recommend Lynsey highly enough! Lynsey’s love for animals is genuine, her sense of responsibility is unwavering, and her kind hearted ,trustworthy and reliable character is beyond reproach.”

“On return from holiday we found the house exactly as we left it and the dogs seemed relaxed and content. So much so, that it took them a while to recognise it was us! We would highly recommend Lana’s services to anyone and will definitely be using her again.”

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. There has never been a point where I’ve been without a companion. I’ve handled all ages from puppies to seniors and also many breeds from labradors to French bulldogs! I am a 3rd year student who has just graduated from Trent with too much spare time on her hands. I am completely flexible and also have a car so can drive anywhere that’s needed! I do have an outdoor patio that is fenced where the dogs can go outside. I also live a 30 second walk from the Forest Recreational ground where the dogs can be walked. As I mentioned I also have a car so I can take dogs on as many walks in as many parks! I live in a very quite area that’s only 10 minutes from the city centre. The house is quite spacious so will never feel to cramped and plenty of space for a crate if needed.

“I had Jane move in for a week in September to look after our siamese cat & home. She was absolutely fantastic. Came home to a house that was spotless & a cat that didn't even know we'd left. I highly recommend her services. Thank you Jane, we'd have you again in a heart beat.”

About: Having grown up surrounded by dogs, I understand that they're more than just pets; they're cherished members of the family. From tiny to towering breeds, each with unique needs, I've had over 18 years personal experience looking after family & friends dogs, as well as chickens, ferrets and a cat, I have owned my own wire-haired Jack Russell Terrier and a Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross Rottweiler. From puppies to seniors my approach is rooted in compassion and patience, whether your dog is timid, excitable, or has specific behavioural traits like food or dog reactivity. I prioritise their well-being, ensuring they feel secure and loved, granting you peace of mind while you're away. I have looked after familly and friends animals whilst they are on holiday/weekends away. My expertise extends to caring for senior dogs with specialised dietary needs and medication schedules (as my own girl had health problems that required daily medication/monitoring). I'm meticulous about maintaining their routines, whether they need to attend vet appointments/physiotherapy/hydrotherapy during their stay, require a crate or a cozy playpen for rest and relaxation, a serene open space, a particular Spotify playlist, TV during the day or Furbo video recordings sent to you, keeping them content and you connected. Your dog's comfort and happiness are my top priorities, and I'm dedicated to accommodating their every requirement, no matter how small. I look forward to getting to know your lovely dogs. As an office administrator working remotely, I have the flexibility to set my own schedule, ensuring ample time for play and exercise, or to sit with your dog whilst they nap. Whether your furry friend prefers leisurely strolls or shorter outings, I can accommodate their needs. I offer boarding services seven days a week, pet sitting, drop-ins, dog walking and day care options are available. short and long-term stays available. Dog walks are also offered seven days a week for your convenience. Happy to do a meet and greet prior to any bookings, happy to travel for Dog Sittings/overnight stays For boarding, i can collect and drop off to your home on request. I have a secure 6ft fenced back garden separated into two areas, one is a secure patio, the other is an area with grass lawn and vegetable plots. (I can provide further details of outside space privately) My family’s male 3 year old Labrador retriever stays at the house in a separate area during your dog(s) stay. He is very kind and gentle if you would like him to interact with your dog(s) during their stay. He is crate trained and sleeps in his crate through the night. I can board 1-3 dog(s) at a time from the same household. I can exercise your dogs separately if preferred or all together. I always keep dogs on a lead during walks or a long line (16ft lead) so they are secure but still able to roam and run if given permission from owners. If I am in a secure private dog field I will ask for your instruction whether you would like your dog(s) off lead. Feeding and sleeping arrangements are specific to each dog, I will keep to their routine/schedule. If you would like to use their own bedding /crates/food bowls/toys/treats etc whilst at boarding you are very welcome. Please let me know any specific details : if you prefer them to sleep freely in the room or in a crate (door left open/closed) Night light/ fan/heater/music required in the room. Toilet runs during the night Medication times -taken in a certain way Feeding routine Exercise schedule. All the above applies to boarding and pet sitting in your home. I will follow your instruction.

“Lindsay was great, communicated really proactively and in detail, came for a pre-visit and left everything really clean and tidy. I was so grateful to have someone I could trust looking after my cat, and won’t hesitate to ask her help next time we go away. Thank you Lindsay!”

About: I've been around big dogs since I was born, raised by German Shepherds and learnt the basics with a Bernese Mountain and a Lab cross. I am learning to become a dog trainer and behaviourist, studying animal behaviour at University and having previously completed a 2 day dog trainer course. For 8 years, I have assisted a local family run dog business with walks and home boarding when I was able to help. I currently work part time on Friday and the weekend so walks and day time house sitting are available during weekdays and overnight sits can be doable over the weekend so long as its not that far from my job. For walks, I keep a bag of all the dog walking essentials in my car, as well as a cage that will fit any dog up to a German Shepherd comfortably. All dogs will either be on a short lead or a trailing long line until we have a strong enough knowledge of eachother that allows them free off lead. As for house boarding, all food consumed will be bought by myself, I will clean up where I've been (and if your dog decides to mud paint you kitchen). For overnight stays, I am very comfortable sleeping on the sofa, requiring no need for going in bedrooms

“Issabella has looked after all 3 of my dogs at different times since she did work experience in a doggy daycare centre some years ago.She is completely reliable & trustworthy.She has walked them,played with them & fed them.Issabella has a lovely calming influence on the pets in her care.I have no hesitation in recommending her.My latest puppy (almost 2) is always so pleased to see her.”

“Tom was excellent in looking after our lovely cat Poppy. He was incredibly flexible and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure Poppy was cared for well. As Tom also did day visits a number of times, it was important for us to feel comfortable with Tom in our home. He was the perfect sitter, clean, tidy and helpful with the odd request we had to do with the house too!!! Poppy warmed up to Tom quickly and we were really happy with how everything worked out! Will definitely be using Tom again!!!”

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 have taken care of dogs, cats and other animals since I was young. Never owned a horse but was always ready to swap mucking out duties for free rides. Fortunate enough to grow up around farm land, so lived around animals and have cared for animals my whole life. As a tutor, I also have a valid DBS (criminal record check) certificate and it is registered on the update system, so it is always valid. I work online as a private tutor and writer. I am also a bit of a homebody - particularly if that home has furry hugs on offer! If you have good wifi and a working kettle I will be able to spend the majority of my time 'on site' with your pets. I have a good history of taking care of pets - as a country kid I have always been around animals and cared for them. I do like to work to lists, so if the owner can prepare (or we can set aside time to discuss so I can take notes) a brief outline of the general schedule that the pet is accustomed to and any special requirements that would be great. I like to try to retain some normalcy for the little ones by keeping them to their usual routine as much as possible, even if their owners are away

About: Taken care of many pets, and even trained my own puppy who is well mannered. I'd be happy to help teach recall and other obedience I run my own business in the mornings and would love to take care of your pet/s in the afternoon on the week days. Happy to help in any way For pet sitting I have my own dog who is very friendly and when walking she will also accompany us to help your dog feel safe and comfortable

“Lauren is a real dog lover and has a great way of making the pets trust and like her. She is reliable and will give the dog as much or as little exercise as required I recommend her.”

“Isabela is a true gem when it comes to caring for my cat and dog. Her ability to switch seamlessly between the independent nature of cats and the playful exuberance of dogs is remarkable. With my cat, she creates a serene atmosphere, providing cozy corners and engaging toys that cater to feline whims. Isabela’s keen eye for detail ensures my cat's preferences are met, from grooming routines to quiet moments of companionship. With my dog, it's a whole different energy. Isabela not only meets the energetic demands but also fosters a bond through interactive play and outdoor adventures. She effortlessly balances the distinct needs of both my pets, and they adore her for it. It's reassuring to have a caregiver who brings joy and tailors her care to the unique personalities of my furry duo.”

“I needed a sitter last minute for my little girl Swift and found georgie (another Georgie!). She was very accommodating and nothing was too much of an issue. Communication was fantastic and swift was looked after with every bit of love and attention that I could ask for. Would highly recommend!”

“Matt and Katharine did daily drop in visits to feed and look after our cat whilst we were on holiday for 2 weeks. It was reassuring to know our cat was being well looked after whilst we were away, and communication with them was good.”

About: I have 6 pets of my own, 3 mischievous indoor cats, a long haired dachshund, labradoodle and collie cross. I love all animals big and small! I have a full time job but animals are my passion so I make time whenever I can, however I can. I always have time for animals I have 2 dogs who love other dogs and one who is a little weary after being attacked but soon accepts a new play pal! I know how I’d like my house and pets treated so why would I treat yours differently!

“Look no further than Chloë to look after your fluffy one. I feel safe knowing Chloë is looking after mine. She takes the time to know your pet so that they can get the best exercise whist being safe. 10/10 would recommend.”
