Cat Sitting Finchingfield

“Many Thanks to Suzy and Paul for taking care of my Fur Babies when I went on holiday for the first time in 10 years … so leaving them to the care of someone else was a first ! But I felt very reassured by the pictures and updates that I was sent , that they were being taken great care of whilst I was away . ???”

About: I have extensive experience looking after family member's and friend's dogs and cats, and have had pet dogs for most of my life. I also have experience caring for a dog with strict medical requirements. I'm currently studying and work from home mostly so I have plenty of time to care for pets! I can be flexible with days and times so can work around requirements if needed. I have great experience following a variety of different requirements for pet care, and can equally be flexible and work with a pet's current needs and requirements.

“Thank you so much! Cats were so happy and she watered my lovely geckos too. Can't thank you enough ”

About: Pets have been a part of my family my entire life, I have owned various dog and cat breeds and I understand their quirks and loving characters. They will be treated with the respect they deserve I currently run my own photography business so have total control over my flexibility with work hours which means I can work around most people’s schedules. I look after pets in the comfort of their own home. When out on dog walks they will remain on lead for safety but can go on a long line for ultimate freedom. Off lead walking can be discussed

About: I am brought up on a kennel where my mum raised working German shepherds, so I have been surrounded by puppies and lively dogs all my life. As you can imagine, there have been plenty of dog walks with a range of personalities! I myself have two Russian bolonki, small balls of fur full of love and an old gentleman tomcat. I have had cats all my life, plus rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs and chickens to name a few! Whatever pet you have, I will love to look after it. I’m currently working part-time from home so I have plenty of time at my disposal and can work around any needs or preferences of visiting or walking times. I love animals and will always make sure they are happy and content. I have plenty of experience of walking difficult and large dogs and can adjust activities to your pet's need.

“Alycia is amazing - Luna loved her - what else can I say. You can tell Alycia really loves animals and is passionate about her work. She is kind, professional and I’d recommend her to anyone.”

About: I’ve been dog sitting for a few years now and had dogs all my life. Having grown up around Dobermans & Dalmatian’s, from a young age I’ve always been completely obsessed with dogs (any size!) as I’ve grown older my love for them has only grown. I had some great experience in 2024 volunteering at a dog rescue in Malaysia. For over a month my partner and I helped to care for abused, injured and neglected dogs. I learnt to administer vaccinations, how to perform hydrotherapy on injured dogs, and to help abused and anxious dogs regain trust. It was the highlight of our Asia trip! Please feel free to drop me a message, always up for a meet and great 😊 I have a flexible job which means I have plenty of time to give your pets the walks, love, and attention they need! Got experience walking dogs so can handle big or small dogs 😊 With my background and passion for dogs, I’m dedicated to making sure they feel safe and loved. I have grown up with dogs so know how to care and keep them all happy 😃 You’ll have plenty of Pupdates as well!

About: 20 years of experience raising and caring for animals at home (cocker spaniel, dachshund, border-collie, maine-coone) Deeply empathetic, considerate and gentle, I'm happy to accommodate any special care requests you require. I look forward to hearing from you! Currently working part-time from home (design/printmaker), so I have plenty of moments during my day for connection and care. I have 1 daughter, so will be on school runs 8–8.15AM & 3.30–4PM, which your dogs are welcome to join me for (sometimes I run the route, if your dogs are athletic –aprx 3km). We have 2 resident mini sausage dogs, but prefer to keep them in their own part of the house if other dogs are much larger. I have a large, fenced garden for your friend to explore and run about in! The property is situated close to several lovely walking trails in fields and forests.

About: Hi, I'm Hannah - a freelance arts manager and pet sitter. I'm a huge animal lover, having owned and cared for over 30 pets, including dogs, cats, chickens, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, fish - and one slightly grumpy terrapin! My freelance work means I am very flexible and can be home for most of the day to keep your pet company. I've cared for animals of all sizes and dispositions from nervous kittens to excitable labradors and pets in my care get their walkies or play every day without fail, rain or shine, and all the care and attention they would be accustomed to with plenty of cuddles, brushing (if they like those things) and of course, approved treats. My family pets were often older rescues with difficult pasts and nervous when they first came to us, so I'm used to catering to those sorts of needs in an animal in terms of appropriate levels of exercise and handling, giving medication, providing lots of reassurance and affection and just letting them feel comfortable, safe and to get to you know you at their own pace. Puppies and kittens are no problem either though, and I'm happy to continue any training you may be doing with them. When visiting pets in their own homes my aim is to make them feel comfortable and secure, including having them sleep in with me if allowed, and will do either leashed walks or dog park visits - whatever they are used to. If I have another local dog walking appointment during my stay and your dog is good around other dogs, they will get to come along too and have bonus walkies! As I'm home the majority of the day, pee breaks can be regular and I'm happy to give medication, food and water etc. as needed, whether doing daily drop-ins or longer term housesitting. I have a very flexible schedule and fit in admin work from home around pet-sitting. Saturday late afternoons - evenings are my only inflexible time due to work commitments, but I am happy to take longer housesits incorporating a Saturday if the pet can be left for 6 hours or there is a temporary companion such as a family member or neighbour who can cover that time. When staying in an owner's home, I follow the pet's normal feeding and walking/playtime routine so that they feel safe and settled. I also maintain any house rules set by the owner (whether this is 'no pets on the furniture', or a requirement for the pet to sleep in my room). I minimise the need to be away from the house during the day (unless the pet is used to this and it's considered better for their routine to continue the pattern), and never leave a pet alone overnight.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have many years experience caring for them. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine as I work from home which allows me to give your pet lots of attention, cuddles, playtime, and long walks. I have had lots of experience caring for animals. Myself and my partner recently spent over a month at a dog & cat sanctuary in Malaysia whilst travelling where we learnt how to provide extensive care to rescued, abused, and disabled dogs/cats. We were trained in basic care/training, hydrotherapy, administering medicines including injections and also how to understand animal behaviours and care for anxious/scared animals. We enjoyed every moment of our time spent with the most precious dogs and come away having learnt so much and having even more love for dogs then we even thought was possible! I love all dogs, any size. We have a beautiful, loving Doberman named Zeus, who loves long walks, lots of cuddles and also meeting new friends whether it’s to stay, play or relax together. I am happy to offer a meet and greet session to ensure compatibility and that your dog is comfortable and happy around me. I will also provide regular updates with photos and videos of your dog/s having lots of fun. I look forward to meeting your furry friend! I work from home full time meaning I can work from anywhere and have plenty of time for walks, cuddles and playtime. I have a quiet home that has a large fully enclosed garden for the dogs to run around and are surrounded by bridle paths for enjoyable walks for your dogs. We have a long fully fenced garden for your pet to play in and they will never be left alone. I will also give you regular updates of the fun they are having whilst at our home. I am able to give them long regular walks and ensure they are happy, safe and comfortable.
