Cat Sitting Doveridge

“Ka Yua visited beforehand to meet the dogs. He clearly cares for dogs and was keen to understand what was particular about ours. Ka Yua arrived early, spent a long time playing with the dogs in the garden and sent us plenty of pics & videos of happy, calm dogs. A great help Ka Yua, thanks!”

About: **Caring & Reliable Dog Walker and Pet Sitter in Uttoxeter** I'm a **Fully Insured, DBS Checked Dog Walker & Pet Sitter** and have completed a **Canine First Aid course**. I have experience caring for dogs and cats with different personalities, ages and routines, always adapting my approach to each individual pet. Whether it's a walk, a home visit or pet sitting in your home, my priority is to provide reliable, personalised care while keeping your pet happy, comfortable and following their usual routine as closely as possible. I take the time to get to know every pet's personality, habits and individual needs, so they feel safe, relaxed and enjoy their time with me. I keep owners updated with regular photos and messages, so you can see how your pet is doing while you're away. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pet, and to provide the same care and attention I'd want for my own. Pet care is part of my everyday routine and I love it! I walk my own dog every day and I already take two lovely dogs for a walk every lunchtime, so adding more walks or visits fits perfectly into my schedule. I plan my days around the dogs I care for, making sure they get the right amount of exercise, playtime and cuddles Safety and comfort always come first. At the owner’s home, I follow their routine carefully, keeping everything as familiar as possible for the pet. I give fresh water, feed according to instructions, and spend time playing and giving cuddles so they feel happy and relaxed. At my home, dogs are never left unattended, and I have a secure garden where they can safely enjoy some fresh air. I supervise them at all times and make sure walks are always on a lead unless the owner agrees and it’s a safe area.

“5 very happy and calm cats = an excellent sitter. Very impressed with James; his communication and clear desire to care for our furry friends speaks volumes; this was our first time with him and we are very pleased indeed.”

About: I love walking and taking my own dog to local parks, fields and National Trust sites. I have experience of volunteering at a dog kennels and have always had a dog in my home since I was born. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I have a clear DBS check, a clean and full UK driving licence and am taking a pet first aid course in April 2026. I have helped with dog care for friends and family and am trustworthy and reliable with a genuine love for pets, especially dogs and cats. Days when I have the most availability are Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I can look at other days including weekends but would just need advance notice. I am adaptable and respectful when entering someone's home and making sure everything is left as I found it alongside making your pet as comfortable as they can be and providing what they need whether this is just company and fuss on a sofa or an energetic walk.

About: From the moment I got my Dobermann, Mila, in December 2021, I was completely hooked on dogs. Their unique personalities, their boundless energy, and their unconditional love quickly turned me from a dog lover to dog obsessed! When Mila sadly and unexpectedly passed in 2024, I knew I needed to honour her by dedicating more of my life to dogs - especially those still waiting to feel the love she gave me. That’s when I began volunteering at Just for Dogs, a local rescue. For the past year, I’ve spent every Saturday and Sunday walking rescue dogs, giving them much needed human interaction, and helping them build confidence. Even more rewarding has been opening my home to foster some of these dogs - providing them with a safe, loving space where they can adjust to home life and prepare for their forever families. From nervous to confident, tiny to huge, cuddle bugs to playful adventurers, it’s been an honour to play a small role in their journey to happiness. With this experience, I feel confident in offering the very best care for your dog - tailored to their unique needs and personality. Whether it’s long walks, sofa cuddles, playtime, or simply being a calm companion, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved. I work full-time Monday to Friday, but my flexible hours and ability to work from home mean I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. This allows me to provide dog walks, drop-in visits, or companionship throughout the day, as well as plenty of attention before and after work hours. I prioritise safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care situation. In my home, I ensure dogs have a secure, comfortable space with access to water, toys, and a quiet area to rest. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow the owner’s routines and instructions closely, maintaining a familiar environment and minimising stress for the dog. My goal is always to create a loving, predictable, and safe experience tailored to each pet’s needs.

About: I am a second year veterinary student with a lifelong passion for animals and hands-on-experience caring for a wide range of pets. Growing up with animals, I have trained my own dogs and regularly care for family, friends and neighbours dogs. Through my veterinary studies, I have developed knowledge of animal behaviour, handling, health and welfare allowing me to easily spot if any health issues arise in your pet. I have also completed placements at a dog and cat boarding kennel and an animal rescue centre giving me practical experience working with animals of different ages, temperaments and needs. I provide reliable and compassionate care, treating every pet as if they were my own. I have recently completed my second year of veterinary studies and am available for pet care from now until 28th September. My schedule is highly flexible including week days and weekends allowing me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. Please note that I have veterinary placement commitments during the weeks commencing 17th august and 24th august 2026. During these two weeks, I will be available on weekday evenings after 6pm and throughout the weekends. Outside of these dates, I am available throughout the day and can offer a high degree of flexibility to suit owners schedules. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritise maintaining their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I follow all instructions provided regarding feeding, exercise medication and any specific care requirements ensuring each pet receives attentive and individual care. I take the time to provide companionship, enrichment and exercise appropriate to the pets needs while monitoring their health and wellbeing. As a veterinary student, I am familiar with animal behaviour allowing me to recognise signs of stress, illness or discomfort and respond appropriately. I also treat owners houses with respect, keeping the area clean and tidy and providing regular updates and photos for peace of mind. My aim is to ensure both pets and owners feel relaxed and confident throughout the pet sitting experience.

“Brad has been great with our two dogs. He has also been really accommodating and understanding with my changing work schedule. Really grateful to have found him.”

“Megan has been amazing! It was my first time leaving my cat and naturally I was anxious to leave her but Megan really put my mind at ease, she is kind and warm and really has a love for animals.. she sent me regular photos and updates which I’ve really appreciated whilst I’ve been away. My cat isn’t the most social sometimes but she has made good friends with Megan while I’ve been gone and they seem to of become besties 🫶🏼 . I would highly recommend her service and I would definitely book with her again. Thank you so much Megan ❤️”

“Our little pug had a lovely day with Danielle! Danielle was very friendly and professional and we felt safe having her look after our pug in our home. Danielle arrived on time and sent us lots of photos which is great because we like to be kept up to date with how daycare is going. She even washed up which was above and beyond! We will 100% be using Danielle again the future, thank you! 🐶”

“Charley was amazing and really went above and beyond. My cat is usually cautious with strangers, but Charley was able to gain her trust from the very first visit.

She was great with communication, sent beautiful pictures and Fraya seemed so happy and comfortable. Ela sent a video of the locked door and made sure I knew everything was back as it was.
