Pet Sitting 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.

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: I have nearly four years of hands-on experience working with dogs in a professional doggy daycare environment, alongside regular pet sitting for a variety of breeds and temperaments. During this time, I completed a Level 2 qualification in Animal Care and Welfare with distinction, giving me a strong understanding of dog behaviour, safety, and wellbeing. I’ve grown up around dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I always aim to provide a safe, fun, and reliable experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care is a natural and consistent part of my daily routine. Having worked in a doggy daycare for nearly four years, I’m used to structuring my day around dogs’ needs, including regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and monitoring behaviour and wellbeing. I’m organised and flexible, which allows me to plan my day around each dog’s routine, ensuring they get the attention, exercise, and care they need at the right times. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday visits, or evening care, I’m used to adapting to different schedules. When caring for pets, I always tailor my approach to suit each dog’s individual routine, personality, and needs to help them feel comfortable and secure. In a pet owner’s home, I stick closely to their usual schedule, including feeding times, walks, play, and any specific instructions. This helps keep things familiar and reduces stress for the pet. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and mental stimulation, as well as keeping their environment clean and safe. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. With my experience working in a doggy daycare, I’m confident managing different temperaments, energy levels, and group dynamics, and I always prioritise safety, wellbeing, and positive experiences.

“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 have 5 little yorkies at home, I also help my family with pet sitting when needed. My dogs are very friendly, loud at first but they calm down eventually, we have few dogs coming to my house and some stay for sleepover as I also use my little boy as stud so my dogs are used to other dogs and my children are pet lovers too. They always want every dog to stay in our house forever. I decided to make my service official as I know how hard it is when you want to go for a holiday and you need to leave your hairy babies behind. I have had dogs all my life and also other pets. I work nights as a bank position so I pick my own hours and slmy dogs are never left alone and I only work when I am not busy doing something else. I am at home every day, also I am very lucky to live where I live so the dogs have enough space for walking and running and I have quite satisfying garden. I stay at home during the day, my family is at home during the nights I am working. My pets are very spoiled as they get a lot of kisses and cuddles and they are very needy babies, my kids also love animals especially dogs.

About: I’ve been working for a doggy daycare for over 2 years. Through this I have met all types of personalities of dogs of all energy levels and a multitude of breeds. I have a level 2 in animal care. Also working towards a T level in animal management. Currently working towards my animal management T level but love working with furry friends whenever I have free time. I can negotiate times whenever it suits clients. I am DBS checked and can offer proof if requested, I can do visual health checks (behaviour, movement) to ensure your furry friend is comfortable and healthy. I will always do my best to insure your pup’s safety is Top priority.

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.

“Fantastic will be booking again great updates and a happy cat!”

About: Hi everybody! I’ve had my Cavapoo Rolo for 4 years now and the time has completely flown by! Over the years i’ve walked him 3x everyday and have taught him so many skills and we will be entering our first competition in 2026! Over the past year i have also took on caring for my grandmothers golden Labrador as she’s unable to provide walks etc, however still loves him and his company to pieces so i am honoured to be able to keep them together! I’m currently working part time from Fridays through till Sundays so have plenty of quality time and care for your pets. i’m quite an active person in my personal life, so depending on your pets needs, if they need a 2 hour walk or as little as 30 minutes neither will be a challenge. I have a fenced garden and have cctv surrounding the back garden to view. i also have a box for all post etc to not scare or aggravate pets.

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.

About: Hi, I’m passionate about providing loving, reliable care for every dog I look after. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve grown up working with dogs and horses professionally from a young age. I have experience in dog grooming, completed work experience in a veterinary practice, and have spent years around animals of all temperaments, sizes, and breeds. I’ve also been involved in dog agility, which has given me a great understanding of dog behaviour, training, and exercise needs. I understand how important it is to know your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply calm companionship, I’ll always make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and treated like one of my own. I pride myself on being trustworthy, caring, and attentive, and I aim to provide a safe and positive experience for every pet in my care. I’m currently working from home, so I can easily be flexible with your dogs current schedule and their needs, offering interaction with your dog all day and making sure they feel safe and comfortable at my home, whether your dog needs a relaxing visit or more playful experience I can offer it all. I have a fully fenced back garden, and fantastic walking routes surrounding my house including Sugwas pools and beautiful orchards, I’m an avid runner and I’m happy to take them running with me if it suits the needs of your dog.

“We found Caitlin to be a very conscientious carer for our cat during our 8 day holiday. Lots of feed back received with photos or videos each day. Cat litter changed when necessary. Play & cuddles provided during the hour session. We returned to a very happy cat. Fully Recommended! Very happy cat owners Mike & Fiona”

About: I have had many years looking after my own pets and looking after pets for family and friends! Even though it has not been through a company I am confident in saying that I know how to look after a variety of different animals including rats, guinea pigs, hamsters, hedgehogs, I have also helped take care of my neighbours horse and helped with newborn rats up to their adulthood. and that this would be a great gateway into my career working with animals. As I have a lot of free time I will be caring for your pet everyday for as long as I have them under my watch, making sure that they are happy and healthy, ready for when there owner comes home As a pet owner of 2 hamsters and 4 guinea pigs or any small animal, I clean them out every week making sure that the space is tidy for them, I also give them a daily dose of vegetables and salad for them to get all the nutrients they need as well as making sure their water is full so that they can stay fully hydrated! And of course giving them their favourite treats.

“Becky is lovely. Teddy clicked with her immediately and treated her like a long lost friend. This was Becky's first visit to our house and I felt very comfortable with her. She clearly understands dogs very well and behaves in an affectionate and kind way towards them. I will definitely be in touch with Becky again.”

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.
