About: As a Registered Veterinary Nurse, I have trained for years doing what I love, caring for animals. I have experience pet sitting for work colleagues, friends and neighbours, attending to a variety of needs and requirements. This includes strict medication schedules, different daily walking requirements, and much more. I have experience caring for animals great and small, so no matter your pet, I can assure you they will be in great hands with me. I am looking forward to getting to know and caring for you fur babies! As a full time worker, I am available Monday evenings (after 7pm) Tuesdays all day, Thursday evenings (after 6pm) and Weekends. I will occasionally be required to work a Saturday shift which I will put up on my availability calendar. My work schedule can sometimes change so I will keep my availability calendar up to date. If unsure just message and I will happily do what I can to accommodate you! I am happy to travel to your home within 40 mins drive for house sitting, and 30 mins for a drop in/walk. but do not take pets into my own home due to having my own pets that like their own space.
About: My 5 year old daughter and I absolutely love animals, especially dogs and cats! We'd love to have a pet of our own one day, but because we travel regularly to visit family abroad, we feel it's only fair to wait until we can offer a permanent pet the stability it deserves. In the meantime, pet sitting is the perfect solution for us. I work part-time and partly from home, which means I can provide plenty of attention, companionship, playtime and care throughout the day. We both genuinely enjoy having furry friends around the house, and your pet will be treated as part of the family while they're with us. We have experience caring for dogs and have previously had our own dog, so we understand the importance of routine, exercise, patience and plenty of affection. I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime and making sure pets feel settled and secure in a new environment. Whether it's cuddles on the sofa, walks, games in the garden or simply keeping your pet company, we'll make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you're away. 🐾❤️ We know how important pets are to their families, and we'll care for yours as if they were our own. Because I work part-time and mostly from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent care and attention throughout the day. I build regular walks, playtime, and feeding into our daily routine. Whether it’s morning walks, mid-day breaks, or evening cuddle time, caring for pets fits naturally into our rhythm. In our home, pets are treated like part of the family. They’ll get plenty of love, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day. We keep their routine as close as possible to what they’re used to — including walk times, feeding, and any special needs or preferences. We do our best to make them feel comfortable, relaxed, and happy from the moment they arrive.
“Steve and Sandra were really great and our 6 year old springer Jimmy took an instant shine to them. It was great that he could also socialise with another dog, Tommy, on the walk. This service was invaluable as I needed to go to London with work at short notice and it was great peace of mind to know that Jimmy was well looked after.”
“Fantastic, absolute lifesaver helped me out at very short notice. Hounds loved her and I ever got a cute video which was massively reassuring having never left them with anyone but granddad before”

About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover and genuinely love spending time with dogs of all personalities. I volunteered for 2 months with Soi Dog Foundation, where I spent my days walking, caring for, and giving attention to lots of different dogs, including some nervous kennel dogs who needed extra patience and love. In my free time, I also look after my auntie’s cheeky Border Terrier, so I’m very used to energetic walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure pets feel happy, safe, and spoiled while their owners are away 🐾💕 I choose my own shifts, so I’m usually available with just a few days’ notice! I also only work 3 days a week, which means I’ll have plenty of time during the day for walks, playtime, cuddles, and giving your cute little ones all the attention they deserve 🫶🐾 For your pet’s comfort and safety, I currently offer walks and house visits in your home rather than boarding. I’ll make sure your pets feel happy, cared for, and comfortable in their familiar environment 🫶
About: I’ve participated in volunteered dog walking for the elderly and disabled for many years and have cared for dogs at home while family friends have been away, but most importantly I know what it’s like to care for my own pets as I’ve had two cats. My schedule is flexible as I work a part time job with varying hours. Very much depends as to what is happening week to week. I am in a very central location with good access to buses and trains. I only currently do sittings at pets’ location due to shared living with a cat.
“Eleanor looked after my two cats for the first time this week and they liked her immediately. She looked after them really well, spent time with them and kept me regularly updated with info and photos / videos. ”

“Rosie was fantastic with my tortoise Edith, always sent me photo updates and little messages letting me know how she was getting on for each visit. Over all very reliable and had great communication which really put me at ease, will definitely be booking with Rosie again in the future!”

“Emily has been an amazing drop in visitor for my puppy Bucky. He loves her and enjoys spending time playing with her. She is so reliable and speedy to reply to bookings. Has a lovely, positive and friendly demeanor and is very trustworthy. Thank you Emily!”

About: My whole life I grew up with animals !!! I don’t know a life without an animal and now that I have moved out of my family home I myself am longing for a furry friend of my own. My love and passion for animals and taking care of them is very obvious and you will not regret introducing your furry friends to me. I will ensure your animal is happy and safe, fed and been to the toilet. I enjoy cuddles and play time with animals and happy to spend time with them. In college I used to be a dog walker and look after a neighbours cat. Although I was in college I was truly missing animal love being away from my family house and therefore picked up dog walking and cat sitting in college. Please don’t hesitate to message me, I am happy to answer any questions at all ! Thank you :) I currently work full-time in a busy hospital environment. Animals bring me so much joy and love and I’m longing for my own furry friend especially after finishing a busy shift. Therefore I am available any weekday after 5pm as soon as I finish work to give some love to an animal. In the meantime my partner is at home and happy to look after the animal if we were to have an animal staying with us :) on the weekends I am available all day ! I am all about an animals safety and will provide it that necessary support. In my own home my front garden is fenced off as well as the back which means your animal cannot escape. In my own home it is only myself and my partner and no other obstacles that may impact on your animal. In your own home I will always ensure your animal is safe and protected check doors are locked etc. I am happy to stay contactable and message as much as necessary with the owner to ease the mind that your furry baby is happy.
About: Licensed and practising Veterinarian. I have been taking care of my own pets for many years (cats, dog, and birds). I have a bachelors degree in animal and poultry sciences from Virginia Tech. Graduated from the Royal Veterinary College. I enjoy walking dogs and am looking to be a bit more active and get out of the house more after being cooped up inside for months. I also love cats as they hold a special place in my heart, so if you would like me to watch/ play with your cat I would be more than excited to do so. Currently, I have no dogs or cats of my own living with me. Pet care is my day to day job. I've been fortunate enough to make saving fur baby lives a career and enjoy solving the problems I am faced with daily I have ample space for the animals to lounge around in my flat. They are allowed on furniture and on beds but should you wish them to be crated they can be as well provided you supply a crate.

Very professional and friendly, she consistently sent updates and photos, as well as when food ran out and an issue occurred with delivery on my kibble subscription, she went and picked up extra food. Above and beyond care for my pet, I will definitely be hiring her again.
