About: Having either coveted or owned pets since childhood, and recently experienced my daughter hosting dogs in our family home before flying the nest on her next big adventure, I’ve decided to take over the family business. Yes, I know inheritance does not usually work this way but, hey, hosting your fur balls has been such a joy, and I have such a perfect space here, why not? Familiar with separation anxiety, medication administration, and all that comes with family pets. Very fond of long walks. Well aware from personal experience how daunting it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and totally committed to ensuring their comfort and safety. Rest assured your pets will be well cared for - and lots of cute photos and updates will be sent. I’m self employed and work from home. My dog, Mo, and cat Gem, are well socialised and happy to accept well behaved comrades into their space. I have a big, secure fenced garden with lots of room to run around, and a comfortable living space where pets are welcome, including on the sofas. I’m respectful of other people’s needs and spaces, whether I’m visiting your home, or your pets are visiting mine, I’ll make sure their - and your - needs are met. Expect lots of photos - and possibly a short story, or poem from your pet.
“Amazing service with really friendly people. We received regular updates on how our doggo was getting on. Absolutely lovely family. Our dog had a great time. Would 100% recommend. Loads of space for our dog Rambo and the family dog Buddy to play together. Really impressed. Thank you.”
“Shaun & his family were amazing! They couldn’t have been more accommodating and were really flexible through out. We received plenty of updates and she was made to feel right at home with them. They are an absolute credit to dog lovers and you can guarentee they will be spoilt the whole time. Thank you so much, we will certainly book again.”
“Philip was absolutely brilliant looking after my greyhound, Coco. She came home very calm and settled after her stay. He took her on some really nice walks and sent plenty of photo updates, which was very reassuring. Philip and his wife have a lovely home and it was clear Coco felt comfortable there. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again and would happily recommend him to others. Thank you very much!!”
“Eva was brilliant, she took Terry at short notice and from the moment he arrived he was relaxed so I had no problem leaving him. I received messages regularly which reassured me he was doing fine while with Eva. I would definitely book again if needed.”
“Lucy loves Dogs & hit it off with Charlie. I did not have to worry about leaving him for the first time ever with Lucy. I got daily updates & pics of Charlie having fun and Lucy dealt with his medication for his ear infection which was great! Lucy is a lovely young Lady & I’ll be booking her again.”
“Janet had a lovely home to take care of Lobo in. She was relaxed and friendly and Lobo who can be nervous when we leave her, was happy to be there. Janet took her plenty walks and took good care of her. Would definitely use Janet again.”
“Katy and her partner were absolutely fantastic with our whippet Leo! I am very fussy with who looks after Leo but i felt 100% confident leaving him with Katy. Great communication throughout and was sent lovely photos of Leo having fun playing and snoozing on the sofa. Leo had a great time and is looking forward to he's next stay. It was nice to enjoy our time away knowing that Leo was in good hands, thank you so much x”
“Tatyana was a fabulous sitter and took great care of my Claude, who is a nervous dog. He was clearly having fun when I arrived and was playing in the garden. Communication with Tatyana was excellent and I felt confident leaving him with her.”

“Carolyn was amazing with Kobe. He clearly was super happy and comfortable, to the extent that he even lay on Carolyn’s lap, which he doesn’t do at home with us! Very pleased and will definitely use again. Thanks”
“Martin looks after Pippa whenever we go away. I trust him and know that Pip has an amazing time in the home from home environment at Martins. I cant thank or praise Martin and his family enough for the love and care they give to Pippa, and the total peace if mind this gives to me. Thank you Martin we will see you again soon.”

“Great experience with Katie, she checked up on our cat Eric and we got updates with photos and a description of the visit! Would recommend Katie to friends and will use her again in the future!”
About: I have had a cat almost every year of my life since being born. They hold a very special place in my heart. I have taken care of both my own cats as well as friends and family pets for up to two weeks at a time. I love to play, pet and care for all types of cats. Have volunteered with SPCA.
“Emma did a great job looking after our cat Oaty while we have been on holiday. She sent photos and videos which we loved especially our three children who were missing him. Emma communicated with us as much as needed for updates and we would definitely recommend her for looking after your pets. Thank you”
“Our cat Nova is a house cat and really wary of strangers. Jack was so calm and patient with her. We came home to a happy cat. Jack will be my first point of call whenever we require someone to watch her while we are away. Thank you”
“Layla was an absolute star, looking after our cat Halo while we were away. From the photos Layla sent us through the app, we could see how much fuss she made of Halo and how Halo warmed to her very quickly. Layla also coped admirably with having to medicate Halo twice a day, which was a big relief for us. We won't hesitate to ask Layla to help us out again with drop-in visits when we're away. She was utterly trustworthy, completely reliable and we are soooo glad we found her!”
About: I have worked with cats in my career for over 30 years, including 3 years at Cambridge Cat Clinic. After completing qualifications in companion animal behaviour, I provided behaviour counselling to cat owners to help them understand their cat's behaviour and manage various problems. These include inter-cat aggression, inappropriate toileting and management of indoor cats. I am able to administer topical and oral medications and also injections such as insulin.
“I would highly recommend Marta. She visited my cat twice daily for 10 days, including over the Easter BH. He was a “street cat” and isn’t really a people person, however, I could see from the daily photos Marta sent that she had won him over. I was very impressed. Many thanks 😉”
“Hannah was fantastic with our two cats. She was caring and thoughtful, sending daily updates which showed the cats playing, purring and very happy. My cats could not have been in better hands. ”
“First time I have needed a cat sitter and I could not be happier, Alice was fantastic, very professional. I will definitely recommend to my friends if the go away”
“Rhian did an incredible job housesitting over the Christmas period, she kept in communication, sent us lots of photos of our cat being well settled and happy. It was the calmest we’ve ever seen the cat after we’ve been away for a period - I would absolutely recommend Rhian to others! Thank you so much for all your help!”
“We would 100% recommend Susan & we would definitely use her again! This was the first time we’ve ever used a house/pet sitter and we were really happy with how it all went. John was really happy and content & Susan gave us updates which we loved getting whilst being away! Our house was also left just as we’d left it and Susan looked after all our plants for us too which we were very grateful for!”
About: Rover Cat Sitting Profile Hi! 🐱💕 I’m a big animal lover and would love to help look after your cat while you’re away or busy. My mum has two cats who I regularly pet sit and care for, so I’m very comfortable with cats and understand that they all have their own personalities, routines and boundaries. Whether your cat is super affectionate and loves attention or prefers to do their own thing, I’m happy to give them the care and space they need. I’m happy to provide feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, playtime, cuddles and plenty of company, as well as keeping to their normal routine as much as possible. I’m also happy to send you regular updates and photos so you know your cat is happy and being well looked after while you’re away. 🥰 I have lots of free time outside of work and would love to spend some of it caring for animals and helping owners have one less thing to worry about. Every cat is different, and I’ll always take the time to get to know yours and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for.
“Hannah was fantastic with Una, she kept in contact and made us feel very comfortable while we were away on holiday. She also watered our flowers which was fantastic. Would highly recommend her. ”
“Louise is a wonderful cat and house sitter. She is very responsive to communicate with online. She had no issues looking after our cat (including medicating him in our absence). She also kept us well informed during our absence, with cat updates, and of course plenty of photos. We will definitely be asking her to sit for us again, thank you Louise :).”
About: I’m a 33 year old female living in a flat in Bury St Edmunds. I have a marketing job with 9-5:30 flexible hours and I’m currently working from home and free on the weekends. In my spare time I love to go out on long walks & adventures and enjoy them so much better with a dog. I don’t have a dog myself but I have house sat and boarded a range of gorgeous different types of dog on this app and we had great walks together to different parks. I’d love to help people in the area with walks or boarding / looking after their dog whenever needed :). I’d be so excited to look after anyone’s animal/s in general and to help anyone out :). I’m very independent and live by myself but I am very close to my parents in south Cambridge where we all love to go on walks together too. Please message me if you would like to know anything more or require any further information :).

For house sitting Laurie will also join me so your pets get all the extra attention and love. We are always happy to come by for a meet up/ introduction beforehand so you get to meet us both. I have a shared garden for regular smaller walk/ toilet breaks but during your dogs stay I will also venture out for longer walks. I’ll make sure your dog gets all the exercise, love & attention they need! Please note that I do live in a flat/apartment where there are always neighbours coming/going at different times in the area. I am aware that sometimes seeing/hearing strangers can make a dog anxious/ bark a lot. Please consider this before booking :) many thanks. Pet care fits into my routine easily, as I work from home and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to give dogs the attention, walks, and care they need throughout the day. I prioritize a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment by following each pet’s routine, keeping spaces secure, and always treating them with patience and kindness. Whether in my home or the owner’s, I maintain trust by respecting their rules, providing updates, and ensuring the pets feel comfortable and cared for.

“I was really happy with the care and attention my dogs received whilst spending the day with Inga and her family. Communication was excellent with lots of reassuring photos sent of Coco and Daisy enjoying walks and playing with their dog Bonnie. Leave your dogs with Inga and they will be in very safe hands. .”
“Annalise was great with my dog! It was her first time with Rover and to be expected she was very nervous. Annalise kept me notified of my dog and how she was doing throughout the day which I really appreciated. Highly recommend!”

“Alix was fantastic with our 7 month old Dachshund bramble. We were sent photos and updates throughout the day and Alix was quick at responding both before and during brambles stay. Would definitely use Alix again ☺️”

“Jane was brilliant. I made a last minute booking and Jane still made time to meet myself and my dog both. She provided regular updates and Donald looked so comfortable in every photo! So much so when I went to pick him up, he came and said hello and then jumped back on her sofa! Would definitely recommend and would 100% ask Jane for future care.”

“I cannot recommend Caroline highly enough. She was extremely accommodating and allowed us to meet her and her own dogs before confirming the booking, to ensure we felt comfortable. Caroline kept us updated daily with photos and video so we could see Eric was having a great time. This was the first time we had utilised a service like this and I would not hesitate using Caroline again.”

About: Growing up in a house full of rescue cats and dogs ignited my passion for animal welfare, which goes above and beyond in both my professional and personal life. I understand how daunting it can be leaving your furry one in someone else’s hands and I ensure the best quality care catering to any specific needs, and guaranteed photos of your pet so rest assured you know they’re having fun. I’m able to be flexible working with your house sitting and home boarding needs. At home, I live with a friendly dog called Momo and my mum, so your pet would have to be okay with other dogs, otherwise I’m happy to house sit! Please don't hesitate to ask any questions 🤗 Having previously worked at a veterinary practice, I understand how to meet your pet where they’re at - whether that’s with cuddles and playtime from the get-go or a calm gentle approach to soothe nerves. I'm experienced in walking dogs of all sizes, chihuahuas to great danes, and can promise walking routes and lengths dependant on your dog's requirements. To ensure your mind is at ease, I keep in full contact with photos of your loved ones throughout time away from them.
“Jack came to my house to help me walk my 2 big dogs when I was not able to. My dogs are not the best walkers on a leash and he handled them no problem. They came back very happy and tired.”
“We love Lucy, she is kind, patient, considerate, and punctual. Every time the door bell rings our dog Calli gets SO excited! I’m so happy and relieved to have someone I trust to take care of my sweet girl, she really is a life saver.”
About: I have been dog, cat, and house sitting since childhood! I have volunteered at SPCA and have always found or adopted my pets. I grew up with a golden retriever and several cats. My schedule is very flexible right now, as I recently relocated to bury st Edmund's. Hoping to make the most of my time by helping out others and getting to spend time with their furry family. I have spent many years caring for pets of friends and family in their homes. I've always felt that it's easier to keep them in their home where they are familiar and comfortable and I am the one who is in their space. They are already missing their parents (owners) no need to add more stress.
About: I have worked in the veterinary profession since the early 90's and have experience of large and small animals. I have trained veterinary nurses, run puppy classes, taught basic dog training, qualified in common dog and cat behaviour problems, provided pet behaviour counselling and owned 3 dogs and multiple cats over the years. I would say that cats are my speciality as I worked at Cambridge Cat Clinic for 3 years and perfected my feline nursing skills. I am able to administer oral medications to all species and also injections if required, such as insulin. I am currently completing my training to become a counsellor (for humans) so I will be able to care for your pets around my studies and seeing my human clients. This allows me to be very flexible with regards to length of time needed to be with your pets. I will follow whatever routine has been established for your pets with regards to feeding, exercise, cuddles, grooming and any medication needed. I will have absolute respect for your wishes regarding where you want you pets to go i.e. indoors only, garden, park etc. I can provide regular updates about your pets while you are away to put your mind at rest.
“My dog has been a terror for Alix, knocking over the tv, destroying everything, and bless her she has still come back and given my dog a lovely walk! Thank you”
About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover and understand just how important pets are as part of the family. Growing up, I had six cats and a Golden Labrador, and I now have a lovely Cocker Spaniel of my own, so I’m experienced with both cats and dogs and comfortable caring for pets of different ages and personalities. I work full-time as a Cardiac Physiologist at West Suffolk Hospital, and in my free time I enjoy taking my Cocker Spaniel on long walks, spending time in the garden, and being outdoors. I’m available for pet care in the mornings and evenings before and after work, as well as throughout the weekend. I can also offer overnight pet sitting when needed. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced pet lover to look after your furry family members, I’d be delighted to help whenever I’m available. Please feel free to send me a message — I’d love to hear from you! 🙂 I work Monday - Friday 8-17:00 at West Suffolk Hospital, so am available mornings and evenings. I also have full availability on weekends, so please message me to find out more info. 🙂 I know how important it is to have someone reliable looking after your pets, and I’ll treat your cat with the same care and attention I’d give my own. Whether your cat loves cuddles and company or prefers their space, I’m happy to adapt to their personality and routine.
About: I live and breathe pets, caring for my own dogs since I was a child, including rescues and puppies. Every pet has its own unique charms, and my extensive personal experience caring for both my own animals and others' gives me patience and understanding when getting to know them. Additionally, my part-time work is directly with pet care, giving me a wealth of professional expertise, supplemented by undertaking specialised dog first aid training. Fully DBS checked and insured. I work part time, spending the rest of my week caring for my dog and planning pet visits. Your pet's needs will always be a priority to me, and I am very comfortable being flexible around my work to meet them. Additionally, pet welfare always comes first with me, so will be available for early mornings or late nights during the summer. I will always encourage meeting your wonderful pets all together first to make sure we're a good match, with an emphasis on being bespoke and customised to your pets' needs. For dogs specifically, I can offer both 1 to 1 care or, should you prefer they spend some time socialising with others, bring along my very friendly dog Nessie. Walked dogs will always be returned washed and dried, so there'll be no nasty surprises when you get home!
About: I have taken care of friend’s dogs for years and had the joy of getting my own last year. I’ve also tried to be helpful to local organisations when I can. I’m currently working self employed so I’m happy to discuss days. Plus free all day on Mondays and Tuesdays. Looking forward to working with owners on a schedule that works best for us both. I have a fenced yard for my dog Eko at home and a big enough garden for her to run around in. I won’t be taking dog’s back to my house but wanted to let you know the situation there.
About: I currently walk dogs regularly and also work with a local busy kennels, so I have lots of hands on experience with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and needs. Alongside this, I’m studying a diploma in Canine Welfare, Care and Behaviour, so I’m still building my knowledge and understanding. I’m fully insured, canine first aid trained, and committed to providing safe, calm, and attentive care for every dog in my care. I hold an advanced DBS check as I volunteer my time to Our Special Friends helping with the elderly and vulnerable to care for their dogs. I have some available slots throughout the week between the hours of 9.30 and 14.00, ideal for regular weekly bookings or one off requirements. I am flexible and will always do my best to accommodate a visit or walk for a dog. I only offer solo (or same household) walks so I can prioritise safety, calm handling, and communication at all times. I take the time to understand each dog’s individual needs and their routines, and any behavioural or medical considerations before walking. Dogs are always kept on lead, and I carefully choose safe, suitable and known walking routes. I’m canine first aid trained and fully insured, and I will always keep owners updated with messages and photos for your peace of mind. As I offer solo/household walks only, your dog(s) will always receive my full attention in a safe and controlled environment only.

Please note that I do live in a flat/apartment where there are always neighbours coming/going at different times in the area. I am aware that sometimes seeing/hearing strangers can make a dog anxious/ bark a lot. Please consider this before booking :) many thanks. Pet care fits into my routine easily, as I work from home and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to give dogs the attention, walks, and care they need throughout the day. I prioritize a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment by following each pet’s routine, keeping spaces secure, and always treating them with patience and kindness. Whether in my home or the owner’s, I maintain trust by respecting their rules, providing updates, and ensuring the pets feel comfortable and cared for.

About: I looked after my cat and Yorkshire terrier in my home in Ukraine. I had to leave him with my family as I moved to the UK with my children. I miss him a lot and looking after other dogs would help me a lot. I am working part time in a local pub and looking after my two children, but I can be very flexible and adjust to your needs. I looked after pets for many years and I always take a great care of them, covering them in love and attention as if they are my own.

About: I really love looking after dogs, I’ve grown up with dogs in the household from as long as I can remember - a retired greyhound and a rescue whippet lurcher cross. I also have my own dog care business so have a lot of experience with different breeds, reactive dogs, rescues and other behavioural challenges. I’d would love to rescue a dog of my own in the future when the time is right😁 I am currently studying mental health nursing at university and do online work about 2-3 out of 5 days a week so would have lots of time to spend with your furry friend and give them the attention they deserve! I enjoy spending time outdoors so would love going for long walks too. I’d love to have a chat with you to see how I can help make yours and your dogs life easier! I am very keen to keep the dogs routine similar to how it would be at home, from breakfast times to walk times! Unfortunately I am not able to have pets at my home as I am not licensed by the local council but I am more than happy to pet/ house sit (in the pets home)
“Finding someone who treats your dog with love and dedication is rare, which is why I'm thrilled to have found Freya who not only ensures my dog is happy but also goes on long walks to make sure she expends all her energy while I'm at work. It's a relief and a joy to know my furry friend is in such good hands.”

About: I’m a huge dog lover with plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all different personalities, sizes and breeds. I’ve previously owned both a Pomeranian and a Springer Spaniel, who were both rescue dogs, so I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs and little quirks! It would be nice since losing both my dogs to still care for animals in my spare time, because I’m not quite ready to get another one for myself for the time being! Alongside caring for my own dogs, I’ve also looked after a range of other breeds including Italian Greyhounds, Russian Toy Terriers, Pomeranians, Terriers and Poodle crosses. Whether your dog is calm and cuddly, full of energy, a little mischievous or needs some extra patience and reassurance, I’m happy to adapt to whatever makes them feel comfortable and happy. ( I love any animal so will be available to come over to feed your cat or feed cucumber to a tortoise too) I can offer anything from drop-in visits and playtime to longer walks and pet sitting, depending on what works best for you. I’m also happy to follow your usual routines, including feeding, medication where appropriate, and plenty of fuss and attention. I work regular hours but have lots of free time outside of work, so I thought I’d put that time to good use doing something I genuinely enjoy while helping other dog owners out. Your dog’s comfort and happiness are my priority, and I’d love the opportunity to get to know them! Currently work 9-5:30pm and have weekends free. Plus every third Wednesday off. I am happy to take care of pets after work/in the morning before work and all day and evening etc on weekends. Dogs will have access to the house and private high fenced garden and be supervised at all times - I usually just let them join me during my daily activities & then taking time out to play with them in the garden etc aswell as walks in the Forrest behind the house and all the Forrest’s surrounding/the park.
“We decided on a last minute trip out of the country. Anna worked with us every step of the way and made sure we were always in the know with our girl. She would send daily updates and photos. It was a peace of mind while we were away to know our dog was being loved and cared for by such a lovely family. Will use Anna again for boarding in the future.”
