Freya looked after our two cats at our home for a few days, she looked after them so kindly and got to know them both! She also made sure our home was well looked after as well, and kept us updated with texts and videos of the cats every time she visited. She was excellent and we will definitely use her again, we highly recommend!

Cannot thank Louis enough for the great job she did looking after our cats! She was on time everyday and went above and beyond what we asked her to do. Came home to 2 very happy kittens. She sent updates each time she visited also which was very reassuring and was extremely professional the whole time! Do not hesitate to ask her to look after your pets!! very very highly recommended

Utterly amazing. I booked Bev as soon as I saw her photo and knew I could trust her. Meet and greet confirmed this. My greyhound, loves her and adores the belly rubs. Bev takes incredible photos of her. She even got my washing in as was raining. Very happy and have rebooked multiple times now. Many thanks Bev 💖

About: I’ve been looking after dogs since I was around 14 when I would house and dog sit for a neighbour’s beautiful English Setter! I also spent a summer looking after a neighbour’s horses and goats (best summer of my life!). I have a family dog, Pepper, who lives in my family home. I trained her as a puppy and walk her regularly. I miss having animals in my daily life so can’t wait to meet some lovely dogs in my area! I work full time at a hospital, which equates to 3 shifts a week, 12 hours long each shift. This gives me 4 days off a week. Unfortunately, I don’t work set shifts so my schedule changes week by week but I get my rota through 2 months in advance so can plan around it easily! I can also request days off if far enough in advance if needed! My days off are generally spent going on walks (when I’m not doing house work!) or reading. I am happy to follow any and all safety requirements for your dog, including crating and walking them on a lead. I am happy to send regular photos and updates and any other requests. I know it is hard to trust someone with your pet so want to make you as comfortable as possible!

About: I have always adored dogs and will try and go the extra step for your furry family members. If you want any basic training doing I’ve got you! If your dog has extra requirements or special needs I will do it! I currently live with my wonderful partner as a stay at home girlfriend but I want to fill my time helping you out with caring for your dogs. I have plenty of free time. I promise you your dogs will be in a safe environment with me. I’ll follow and rules you have put in place but I will always be more cautious as I don’t want anything to happen.

About: I’ve had pets all my life and currently have 3 dogs and 3 cats as well as experience with lizards and bunnies. We are a family that is always on the go and loves to go out for a good walk or run around. I have taken care of dogs from newborns to seniors and understand the attentive care that is required. I currently work but I’m free on weekends and most weekdays I’m able to scoot out to check up on them. I generally have an open morning and evening even after taking my dogs out to have their daily run. I have a fenced in back garden, but take walks around the estate or woods with a long lead. I have a friendly medium dog and a cat that minds himself but is also friendly. I understand some pets have certain eating habits so i keep them all separate during feeding time.

About: I have cared and adored animals, big and small for as long as I can remember. We have always had a anima within the family home which I have contributed to care for such as walking, bathing, feeding, brushing and playing with. I love most animals equally, however I currently have 2x kittens called Beau and Gizmo. I am currently available part time in which I am free to provide my services; walk or dog sit currently on Fridays and Saturdays at any time of the day. I am located within Ipswich only, I do not drive. I do not currently have a dog within my home as they are not allowed within my privately rented flat however once I am able to, I am most definitely rescuing one from the shelter. If I were to provide a sitting service, I would come and keep your lovely companion company or rather they would keep me company, I would bathe them if required, clear up the dog ‘leavings’ in the garden if required, I have previously cleaned the owners home too as part of the service mostly to clean up dog fur and/or muddy paw prints as much as they are adorable. Within dog walking, I would provide an hours walk at minimum however if required less then that is possible for a decreased price.

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 have plenty of time and love to give to your dogs. I have lots of experience with caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages. I am confident and comfortable with all different dog personalities. I also have experience with senior dogs, dogs with medical conditions and young puppies. Just let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate their needs. I have had my own dog for the past decade, a Jack Russell who I rescued in America who has now sadly passed and now we have a lovely ex-racing greyhound. I truly understand the importance of your dogs and that dogs are a member of your family. Please read my recent reviews. Here is a link for £15 off your first Rover booking https://www.rover.com/sit/jd37374 I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of time and attention throughout the day. I absolutely love walking dogs and spending time outside and playing fetch with your dog. I have experience caring for dogs of many breeds and sizes. I live in a detached home in a quiet area with a large secure fully fenced garden (7ft fence). Your dog will have access to the garden whenever they need. There are lots of nice places to walk near my house including fields, woods and walking trails. Your dog can have the entire run of the downstairs of our home while they are here. Our dog, Coco, likes spending time with other dogs. When I’m caring for pets, their safety and comfort always come first. During walks, I make sure each dog is securely leashed with properly fitted gear, and I stick to safe, familiar routes. I pay close attention to their behaviour and surroundings to help keep them calm and happy at all times. For drop-in visits and dog sitting in your home, I follow the owner’s routine closely from feeding and playtime to any special instructions or medications. I always make sure pets feel comfortable in their own environment, keeping things tidy and ensuring they have fresh water and lots of affection before I leave. Communication and trust are key, so I keep owners updated with photos and messages after and during visits if requested. Please note for walks during hot weather, if it is too hot to safely walk your dog I will switch their walk to a drop-in visit (if required) where I take them out for a toilet break/let them out into the garden, spend time with them and ensure their water/food is topped up. That way they are still comfortable and have their basic needs met whilst you are out of the house.

Belinda came to visit the pets beforehand and while I was away she was very reliable, visited on time and sent me photos every day. Such peace of mind while I was away over Christmas was priceless. I can absolutely recommend Belinda.
