“Jo was absolutely brilliant with our two boys. We’d decided that they were being made too anxious by cattery stays, and Jo was available to come in twice a day to look after them. Her kindness, professionalism and genuinely cheerful personality made this decision the best one we’ve made in a while. We had reports back from her after each visit and loads of photos which put us completely at ease while we were away. We cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you Jo!”

About: Hey! I am a 21 year old student veterinary nurse, completing my apprenticeship at a local practice. I have been dog walking and sitting for people locally for around 5 years, caring for them before or after work. I studied A levels in Animal Management and have worked since then at a doggy day care centre caring for over 20 dogs at once, whilst also at a farm. I also have two cheeky terriers. Therefore, I am used to a lot of mischief! I also own a lovely cat and have done numerous cat sittings too, staying at the clients house :) it’s fair to say, my life revolves around these four legged creatures- including rabbits and guinea pigs too! I am working full time at the moment, however I work both early and late shifts. Therefore I am happy to visit/ walk your pet before work, or if I’m on a late shift; in the evening afterwards. I am also available some weekends to stay over if needed!:) I currently am not looking after animals in my house due to my naughty terriers being enough to handle by themselves! They aren’t the biggest fan of new friends! However, I am more than happy to visit or stay at your house when needed!

About: Hi there! My name is Lyall and I am based in Edwalton. I have owned a half Persian half tabby cat for nearly 14 years called Tiger. We had her from a kitten right through to her old age and nursed her through cancer which resulted in having to amputate a leg, so I am fully aware of how to care for a cat / administer medication and injections. Since April 2020 my wife and I have fostered 6 cats/kittens which required nursing back to health before going on to their forever homes - each one taking a piece of our hearts away with them!! We've since had another kitten named Teddy who has grown up with our daughter and is such a ginger cat! Loving but also independent! I am a hard-working, trustworthy, business professional working remotely and would love to help out cat-sitting when you are away. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Best regards, Lyall I work fully remote managing my own schedule and have a car, so can be available last minute. Happy to work to whatever schedule works best for your pet. Unfortunately I don’t have the ability to look at pets at my home currently. I will work with you to understand how best to fit into your current pet’s schedule to minimize any disruption.

“Emma was so great! She was responsive, warm, and very accommodating. Our animals clearly enjoyed their time with her and she was very attentive to them.”

“Ailie was fantastic looking after our cat; our cat was relaxed, eating normally, and happy while we were away, which says everything. We had complete peace of mind and would absolutely recommend her. We’ll definitely be using her again!”

About: I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life. My dog sitting journey started in 2018 and I haven’t looked back since. Initially it started when my friend needed someone to look after her rescue dog when she went away for the weekend, 6 years later and he’s a regular! I am quite flexible but sometimes my availability will work around my current work schedule. I have several days off in the week and every other weekend off. I will always do a visit prior to the start of the dog sit/check in visit - this is to ensure the care I offer is best suited for myself, you and your pet

“We had a great experience with Sian during her drop-in visit for our two dogs, Conrad and CJ. Communication was excellent throughout, which we really appreciated! CJ can be a bit grumpy at times, and Sian handled it perfectly by just giving him space and letting him be 😁Conrad, on the other hand, was thrilled to have a new friend and clearly enjoyed the visit!☺️ Thank you again, Sian, for taking such good care of them, we’d happily book again!

About: I have been volunteering for Hearing Dogs Charity for over 5 years. I have raised, socialized and trained 2 of their dogs from the age of 8 weeks to 17 months. Recently I have been doing holiday cover for Hearing Dogs. I am currently working part time as a foreign language teacher and caring for a dog would fit perfectly my schedule. I am flexible for the dog walks or can pop into your house to visit your pet. I live in a lovely village surrounded by open countryside. There is number of nice walks I will take your dog on. Additionally I have a very big secure back garden.

About: Hey 👋 I’m Natalie - full-time dog walker, drop-in visitor, and lifelong dog enthusiast. I’ve spent my whole life around dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, and nothing makes me happier than getting to know each dog as the quirky little individual they are. I grew up with two energetic boxers who taught me everything about patience, structure, and building deep bonds with dogs. Since then, I’ve cared for countless breeds - cockers, staffies, labs, shih tzus, bichon mixes, and many wonderful one-of-a-kind pups. These days, I split my time between walking dogs around Duxford Village and the surrounding areas, and welcoming the occasional pup into my home for a comfortable, chilled stay. When I’m not out on walks, you’ll usually find me working from home with a dog snoozing nearby, reading up on dog behaviour, or fussing over someone else’s dog at a cafe. When caring for your dog, I focus on: ✨ Building trust at their pace ✨ Providing fulfilling, sniff-filled walks ✨ Keeping their routine consistent ✨ Offering enrichment without overstimulation ✨ Ensuring they feel safe, understood, and happy I’m confident with puppies, adolescents, seniors, and dogs who need a little extra reassurance. I’m also happy to follow your training cues, administer basic medications, and keep your dog’s routine exactly as you prefer. A few quick notes: 🐾 Free meet & greet for all new bookings 🐾 I’ll always ask about schedule, behaviours, triggers, and preferences before a first visit 🐾 I welcome dogs of all sizes for walks or visits 🐾 My home is a ground-floor, dog-friendly maisonette with a small fenced outdoor area Your dog becomes part of the family when they’re with me, and I treat them with the same love, patience, and care as if they were my own. Dog walking and drop-ins are my full-time focus. I’m out and about on walks every day, and when I’m not outside, I’m usually at home giving boarding pups lots of company, enrichment, and calm downtime. Because of my flexible working setup, I’m able to offer daytime visits, scheduled walks, reactive-friendly walks, and home-based companionship for boarding dogs who need someone around for most of the day. Overnight boarding is available for dogs who are comfortable being left for up to 2–3 hours at a time, usually while I’m at the gym or running quick errands. My Rover calendar is always kept up to date. Whether I’m visiting your home or your dog is staying with me, their safety and wellbeing come first. For walking & drop-ins, I: ✔ Follow your dog’s normal routine ✔ Pay close attention to behavioural needs and triggers ✔ Use safe walking routes with plenty of green spaces ✔ Prioritise calm, controlled, positive experiences ✔ Keep walks appropriately paced and enriched, not overwhelming If your dog is staying with me, they’ll be in a cosy, ground-floor home with a small fenced outdoor area and easy access to quiet walking spots, green areas, and longer countryside routes. I only take on dogs I can safely and comfortably care for, ensuring each pup gets the time, attention, and understanding they deserve.

About: I have owned cats all my life and have been cat sitting for a number of years for friends and relatives. I have also walked dogs and looked after them for family whenever they need. I’m currently working full time however I’m available in the afternoons/evenings during the week days and I am available all times throughout the weekends to look after your furry friends! I would ensure that when visiting a customers house the cat/dog is comfortable around me and will ensure they get lots of cuddles attention and walks. I would not let any animal out of my sight, unless the cats have a cat flap.

“Lilly is a fantastic sitter. She made our dog feel comfortable and well cared for, and kept us updated throughout her visit. We will certainly book her again!”

“Nobody could've taken better care of Barney than Liam! He left everything in perfect order. He cared for Barney as if she was his own. I can highly recommend Liam to anyone wanting a cat sitter. I don't think you can find anyone better. I would only leave Barney with someone trustworthy who would take great care of her. ”

Cecilia S.
