Cat Sitting in Harborough

“We had to book a last minute sitting for our dog whilst we were out for long periods during the day and Natasha was such a huge help. Her responses to messages were so quick and she even helped me navigate the website as I had made an error with my request. My dog Buffy immediately made a new friend when they met and photos that Natasha sent me me showed me Buffy was having the time of her life with all the love and pets she got x Thank you again x”

About: - Studying as a vet student allowed me to bring insight into your pets health and well-being - Have owned a dog for 10 years, and cats for 12! - Volunteered in the Middle East caring for stray animals, which has let me gain valuable experience with nervous cats and dogs - Months of experience at a vet practice has allowed me to shadow professionals in their kind & compassionate care for your animals - Genuine love for animals, with experience in both small and large. My timetable is dependent on the week. I usually have mornings free and I’m done by 5 pm every day. I have Saturdays and Sundays off. I am heavily invested in ensuring your pet feels secure, safe and loved while you are not there to be able to care for them. I am patient and passionate about animal welfare. I have a dog and cat myself so am able to complete all tasks necessary to look after them. I have experience walking both small and large dogs.

About: I have a Level 3 Diploma in Dog Grooming and Salon Management that includes a first aid course. I help my boyfriend run his successful dog day-care business, (open 10 years this year), which has had many different breeds and temperaments of dogs. From Dachshunds to Ridgebacks. I have experience with boarding at home for pre-existing clients, and I am branching out to offer sitting in your own home. I have specialised in nervous and anxious dogs in my dog grooming business. I work from home as a dog groomer, and so working for myself means I can work around your dog's needs. Ideally I would work on bringing them to work with me, but only if I was sure about their safety and happiness. For cat or small animal visits, I would discuss with you what your normal routine is around feeding and socialising with them and mirror what I can to keep them as calm and reassured as possible in their own home. I have my own car that is suited to transport cats and dogs . I have carriers, collars and leads as well as contacts at 2 different local vets. I am aware of some very safe dog walk locations. I am used to medications and dietary requirements as well as physical needs (one of my dogs had a metal plate in his legs and then eventually had it removed, another has had issues with her cruciate ligament) I will also not post any information on social media about where I am or who I am looking after until you are already back from your holiday. I will obviously update Rover whilst you are away and stay in regular contacts so that you have peace of mind. As I am also a god groomer, I can continue any grooming routines you have and may be able to sneak in a cheeky bath, face tidy and nail trim if you needed it.

About: I have had my own dog - Ethel, for 13 years (she’s an old girl) so I have personal experience in looking after dogs. I’ve also looked after family cats and dogs when family have been away. I love being around animals and know what makes them tick, you can trust me to take good care of your pet. I have experience volunteering at an animal rescue centre which has brought me a lot of hands-on experience in looking after dogs and cats. I have a big passion for animals but have not been able to make it a full-time career! I look after animals when I’m not at work, so weekends or in the holidays for extra income. My bookings will fit around my full-time job. I decided to pursue this as I have always enjoyed being around animals and caring for them. Safety and trust is key when I make bookings. I always meet the client and dog first to ensure that we are a good match. I always ensure that my clients are happy with the arrangement and ensure they know about me and my background before bookings take place. I only currently do sitting in the owner’s home but can walk wherever needed. I always keep owners in the loop when I am sitting or walking their dog, or when looking after their cat.

About: Hi, I’m Lorron – a friendly, reliable dog lover with over 15 years of experience caring for animals. I’ve always had pets in my life and currently share my home with my crazy (but lovable!) dog, Mowgi. I studied Animal Science at university and now work in the veterinary pharmaceutical industry. Before that, I completed a BTEC diploma in Animal Management and worked in a busy boarding kennel—so I’m confident handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Since having my daughter, I now work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for dog walking during the day. Whether your dog loves long adventures or just needs a quick stroll, I’m happy to cater to the length and type of walk that suits them best. I always treat dogs like part of the family and make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry companion! I’m usually available after 6 p.m. on weekdays and all day on weekends. I often have some flexibility during the week as well, and may be able to adjust my schedule to fit a regular walk for your pet. Feel free to send me a message — I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs! Fenced garden with fields near by. We have one entire male springador called Mowgi. Usually he is pretty indifferent to other dogs but does prefer small to medium over big dogs. We also have one chinchilla.

“Dawn is amazing. Extremely reliable and experienced. Keeps you posted on how your dog’s doing and treats them impeccably. Very highly recommend.”

About: I have been raised on a farm, with dogs, cats, cows, pigs, chickens, ducks, rabbits, guinea pigs, one turtle and even a goat. I love all creatures small and big, except for spiders (terrified of them). Since I was little I took care of the animals mentioned above, I had dogs, cats and rabbits as my responsibility. I would ensure they are kept alive and well taken care of including, grooming, feeding and walking. I also occasionally help with my friend's dogs (pug and Yorkie), but they do not need me as much just for occasional walks and feed. I have recently pet sat for a Main Coon for a week, and I was responsible even for administering medication. I do not shy away from that and I am happy to learn if that is required. I would like to assure you that taking care of pets is not just sitting with them and keeping them fed and walked. It is much more for me. I believe that all pets need attention, and they need to be played with actively. I work full time, however, for three out of 5 days I work from home so I am able to look after your animal, including going for walks during lunch time. I also am happy to have your pet in my bedroom whilst I work. I am available over the weekends as well , and happy to help. I do not mind early mornings and late evenings either. I have a fenced garden in my house, so your fur baby can have plenty of space to run around. I am happy to follow any instructions given by pet owners when in their house so that their pet receives the best care. I do not deeply leave them to be (unless that is how they prefer to be) I like to play with pets and get their energy out if needed.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets including dogs, cats, rabbits etc. I have successfully managed aspects of pet care, from daily walks and playtime. My dogs have taught me how to be patient, attentive, and adaptable to different personalities and needs, which I bring to all the pets I care for. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy or a senior dog who needs extra love and attention, I am skilled at creating a safe, engaging, and stress-free environment. I understand how important pets are to their families, and I treat each animal in my care as though they are my own. I understand that balancing a busy work schedule and caring for your pets can be challenging. That’s why I offer pet care services specifically designed for weekends when you’re unable to be home. Whether it’s taking your dog on an afternoon walk, providing them with companionship, or overnight stays while you’re away, I’m here to help. During the workweek, I focus on maintaining my own pets and following routines to ensure they stay active and healthy, which directly translates to how I care for your pets during the weekends. Even though I’m only available on weekends, I ensure your pet’s routine isn’t disrupted, giving you peace of mind while you work during the week. I believe pets feel safest in their own familiar surroundings. When caring for your pet in your home, I make sure to maintain their routine and comfort while you’re away. Here’s what you can expect from my in-home care service: • Routine Maintenance: I follow your pet’s usual schedule to provide consistency in feeding, walks, and playtime. If your pet is used to a particular walking route or specific toys, I make sure that’s included. • Personalized Attention: I spend quality time with your pet, whether it’s going on walks, playing games, or simply giving them affection. I understand that every pet is unique, and I tailor the care to their personality and needs. • Comfort & Security: I ensure your pet is comfortable in their own home, keeping their environment safe, clean, and familiar. I also take steps to secure your home, making sure doors and gates are locked and your pet is safe. • Daily Updates: I keep you informed with pictures, videos, or messages during each visit so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Caring for your pet in their own home helps them stay calm and feel less stressed while you’re away, and I’m here to make that experience as smooth as possible!

“Aurelia was great! Came to meet Luna and discuss plans day before scheduled, kept me informed on her visits and Luna looked almost sad that it was me coming home and not Aurelia coming in again! Will certainly keep you in mind for future bookings, thank you!”

About: Growing up in a home that was never without paws, claws, or wagging tails, owning and caring for animals hasn’t just been a hobby for us—it has been a lifelong way of life. Over the years, we have loved and raised eight wonderful cats, navigating everything from the delicate care required for pregnant felines to raising newborn kittens. Our canine experience is just as diverse; we have looked after a wide variety of dog breeds, ranging from energetic small pups to powerful large breeds. Currently, we are the proud owners of a gorgeous American Akita, a breed that has taught us deep patience, precise communication, and the art of managing large, strong-willed dogs. I am full time at home so have plenty of time to keep your pets to your set routines and give them the care they require We have a large back garden that is fully fenced and secured off. We stick to your exact routine and their dietry requirements as well

About: I have dog and cat-sat since I was 12, including elderly cats, for my neighbours as well as being brought up with 7 dogs, I also have my own cat right now who I have had since being a kitten thus giving me experience with babies. In terms of dogs I have taken care of a Jack Russel puppy, a Golden Lab, Dalmatian and Shih Tzu's. I have also been in households with dogs and cats at the same time, which has given me experience with handling multiple animals and different animals at the same time. I currently am seeking part-time employment to save up for uni, but I am unemployed as of right now. I also have a car so I am free to travel and as a student on summer break I have much free-time and any plans which do come up are always flexible around your needs. I can always be trusted in your home as a long-term pet sitter and babysitter as well as previously working in two school environments. I have plenty of training on safety as well as the communication skills and experience to understand your needs from me.

“Helen was great with our pets and very respectful of the house. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again for coming to our property with our pets.”

“10/10 service. Zoe was incredibly accommodating and adjusted our booking a few times to suit us. Was a last minute booking and she was still happy to take us. Great service, I was so nervous leaving my baby Scout with a new person but Zoe exceeded my expectations and really put my mind at ease. She goes above and beyond and I couldn’t recommend her more!”
