Cat Sitting in East Dorset

“Rhea was great looking after our 3 cats whilst we were away visiting family. She sent pictures every time she visited so that we could see they were well and happy. Thanks so much Rhea! Highly recommended sitter.”

About: I have had animals of all varieties since I was a child when strays would wonder into our garden. Since then I have cared for a number of animals alongside my children. I feel confident in managing the varying needs of pets. I have a flexible work schedule, therefore I am lucky enough to be able to work around the needs of the animals and their owners. I have most availability during the week. I always ensure I take accurate notes of the special requirements and routines of all animals I care for. I like to keep owners updated with photos and pictures whilst they are aware.

About: I've had the joy of caring for all kinds of animals over the years—dogs, cats, rats, hamsters, tortoises, fish, snakes, and more. My love for animals goes back as far as I can remember, and being around them truly brings me endless happiness. There's nothing I enjoy more than making sure they're safe, happy, and loved 💛 I work full-time during the week, but I finish early on Fridays and am available to care for your fur babies from 2 PM onwards. On weekends, I'm available from 12 PM onwards on both Saturday and Sunday. I’m attentive to every detail pet owners share—I know how important that is. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I expect for my own fur babies. You can count on regular photo updates, because peace of mind matters.

About: I have years of experience working with dogs in every shape and size. Alongside having dogs of my own, I have fostered many dogs which has given me extensive experience in working with both nervous and senior dogs. I understand every dog is different and some require a different approach to others but I’m confident in my ability to care for any dog. My extensive experience includes providing personalised dog walking services, offering in-home pet sitting, administering medications and addressing special dietary requirements. I’m currently a uni student so have a flexible schedule for waking and caring for your pet. During summer and Christmas holidays I have broader availability to cater to your needs and am happy to work whenever I have a free hour. I’m educated in pet requirements and needs and know how to create a save environment for your pet. I’m happy to fulfil any requests made during your service and can send you photo updates during the day.

“Anya dropped in to feed our cats and make sure they were well while we were away. We found them well looked after and would definitely use Anya’s expert services again.”

“My cat is very anxious so it was very reassuring to have a quiet, calm person such as Maria looking after her. This is our first time using a sitter/drop in and I'm very keen to have Maria back again later in the New Year. It was lovely to get all the feedback and photos from her too. Very reassuring when you are a long way from home. Thanks Maria.”

About: I’ve looked after all shapes and sizes, ages and breeds of dogs and cats, down to rabbits and fish as well! I love to help out any animal in need. I put the animal first. I have my own company so I can work around the pet as long as I can connect to internet. So flexible with movements during the day I have a fenced garden, 2 bedroom end of terrace house in a quiet cul-de-sac. We back onto the heath so walks are great. The pets have free roam of the house. Equally I am flexible to stay in other peoples houses and take care of the any pets. Or drop in and offer walks only. No pet care is too much for me!

About: I've looked after dogs, from Yorkshire Terriers to German Shepherds and a whole mixture of cats, for many years. These have been from puppies/kittens to the more seniors in life. Friends and family have entrusted me with their pets and they are always treated as part of my family. I am now retired following 18 years service in the NHS and enjoy walking in the countryside or on the beach, going to the theatre, sport and music. I currently have a 9 year old Yorkshire Terrier, a 5 year old Shih-tzu/Yorkshire Terrier cross and a 16 year old rescue cat. I have the forest on my doorstep and enjoy walking there with my dogs. I'm also a very short drive from the beach which is another favourite. If your dog enjoys playing ball, running on the beach, splashing in water, or a short lead walk, then rest assured, their needs will be catered for. If your pet/s just need a 'lap' for cuddles, I'm also happy to sit with them . Whatever your requirements are for your pet/s, I will gladly accommodate them and even go the extra mile! I'm happy to change litter trays, water plants and even put out the bins!

“Thomas took our dog for a walk on a group walk. He picked up Buddy, took him for a lovely long walk down the beach, dropped him home and settled Buddy back in. Would def recommend and would love for Thomas to take Buddy for a walk again.”

“Angel looked after my dog while we were away. She sent regular pictures and updates. She was really helpful and came to visit Casper before we left to get to know what was needed. I felt really comfortable leaving Casper with her and she is very trustworthy. Thank you so much angel. I would definitely Recommend Angel to anyone !”

When out walking the dogs will be on leads except by specific arrangement with the owner.

About: Providing care and enrichment for your adored animals is at the heart of what I do. I have plenty of experience working with animals of all ages and breeds, some of whom can be seen in the photos on my profile. From dog sitting in their own home, walks around local country parks and villages to at-home visits to provide food and company. I can administer medications and provided tailored care to your pet. I love to be part of an animal's life and build a connection so should you ever need somebody to take care of your pet, you can put your faith in me. I am incredibly flexible and have lots of time to cater to the needs of you and your pets. Caring for animals is at the heart of what I love to do so I always have time to fit in pet care around my schedules. Very happy and keen to listen to you, the owner, to what works best for yourself, your loved animal your home. Flexible to cater to the needs of each individual pet in terms of length of walks, needing to be crated and warming up to new people. I am a strong woman and can easily hold a lead with a strong dog safely.

“Where do I even begin with trying to explain how amazing Grant is!! I had to find a last minute pet sitter for our furbabies as we had just moved into the area. Grant was the first one to reply. He went the extra mile for us. He has such passion for animals, a caring heart and just a good human being. My Moon is very warey of new people, and for her to like someone new is a challenge- challenge was accepted by Grant, and let me tell you by the 2nd day Moon had found a new friend. Thank you for making our holiday less stressful, as well as making our furbabies holiday one they will never forget! I highly recommend Grant!!”

About: I had a successful business in Australia looking after pets. Mainly dog sitting, daycare and walking. If you search 'Gemma h Madpaws mount lawley' (Perth) you can see my profile and reviews. I started looking after pets in 2020, i loved every minute of it. I even got my own dog, Ziggy, from it as he was my 2nd customer and his owner rehomed him. We went everywhere, river, beach, dog parks with multiple dogs all day. I'm very big on dogs socialising and making friends. Since coming home I have been a dog groomer as I wanted to expand my options working with dogs. I have my own grooming business on Monday to Wednesdays and occasional Saturdays. The rest of the time I have my own dog who needs to go out and do it would be great if others could join. I follow the instructions I'm given for each pet. I'm big on having fun with the pets as long as everyone is safe. Making sure animals can't get out of garden, mine is all fenced in. When out being aware of others around us and keeping a close eye on interactions. Getting to know dogs before letting off lead, interacting with others etc. I do like an introduction first to see the dog and to meet mine. I have also given medication to animals as instructed by owners. Pills and drops, not keen on needles so I don't do that. Biggest priority is safety of the animal and I care for them as if my own. Next I love them to have fun and be ok with being away from owner. I have been on both sides with my dog as I've seen him as the sitter and also as owner so I know how it feels so like to send updates and pictures of what they are doing. Also any injuries or concerns are dealt with ASAP.
