Pet Sitting in County Of Herefordshire

About: I’ve always grown up with pets from a very young age. Mainly cats but we did have a dog called Polo who I loved and cherished so much, I would take him on daily walks along the canal and meadows. I would also help out with feeding our pets. I’ve also used to look after my Nans cats while she was away, at this time we were slowly transitioning them into indoor cats so I would help out by locking them in during the night and letting them out during the mornings. This included cleaning and feeding duties. I’m currently a Uni student at Hereford College of Arts, studying Textiles (2nd year). I’ve got plenty of free time during the afternoon and would like an opportunity that involves looking after animals aka cats and dogs. I also have a qualification in animal care and would like to gain some more experience in this sector by looking after people’s pets if possible! The pets I had when living back at home, were very loved and looked after! I would take Polo on walks every day and loopy had free access to roam outside when he wanted too.

“Joella was fantastic! We were visiting Plymouth and needed someone to look after our puppy whilst we visited family. Joella met the evening before to meet pup and was so helpful and flexible. On the day, great Comms and pics whilst she had him. Thank you Joella! Fully recommend!!!”

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

“Emma is a lovely bubbly young lady that was just what my milo needed.milo is 5 months old and has a puppy yes he needed attention and she defo gave him that.made his walks exciting and introduced him to other dogs which was what he needed. Felt very comfortable with her in my home and wouldn't hesitate in doing this again. Put my mind at ease knowing he was having lots of fun”

About: My dog Tucker, is my absolute world! I understand how hard it is to leave them…whether that be for a day or a few weeks! I pride myself on giving your fur babies a home away from home experience and treat them like my own. I have owned dogs, cats, horses and hamsters so I am confident in handling and caring for most animals. I have earned Level 3 in Canine Behaviour, Welfare and Care. I can stop by your home for drop in visits and walks around your local area. If your dog needs to stay at my home, Tucker is a friendly boy and loves having the company…dog or cat; he is not fussy. I work from home and have full flexibility! Weekend care is preferred to be booked in advance. Pick up and drop offs to boarding or appointments is available. I look after all animals with love, like they were my own. Lots of fuss and treats (if allowed of course!!) Your pets usual food will need to be provided with feeding instructions.

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 have a rescue German Shepherd and an ex service German Shepherd with experience of working with rescue organizations that have animals with all different needs. My two dogs can be reactive to other dogs so I have experience of calmly handling different situations and avoiding stressful triggers. I have previously been employed for over a year as a professional dog walker. It was an amazing job where I learned so much more about animal care. It was also where I learned walking six dogs at a time and managing those dogs and making sure everyone is getting the most of their walk. I’m available for dog walking and drop in visits between 11am and 4pm during the week. I would be happy to try fit you in my schedule should you need any extra help. I have a fenced in big garden that my two dogs love to run in. I am careful to make sure they get both enough mental and physical stimulation on a daily basis.

“Amanda spent a week cat sitting for our 9 year old Siamese. She did a fantastic job, I cannot compliment enough! Amanda popped over on two occasions prior to the booking and really wanted to understand how we preferred for our cat to be looked after. She was very caring with Poppy on meeting her and I could tell she would do an excellent job - which she did. We got regular updates, photos, Amanda went the extra mile to stay a little longer than agreed so that Poppy would have some company which was incredibly kind. She leant Poppy some new toys and on returning home, Poppy’s area was spotless. I can honestly say I know that Poppy was in great hands and I could really relax and enjoy the holiday! Highly recommended and a lovely person too!”

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!
