About: I have grown up with dogs and looked after animals since I was 15. I am also a registered veterinary nurse and very compassionate about animal care. I currently work a night shift rota. So am flexible where my rota permits. I am able to accommodate most dates and times where possible. I am currently unable to off pets to stay at my house but am able to come to owners homes to look after and collect pets for walking
“Zuzanna was brilliant, great contact from the moment of enquiry till after the visit. She kept me updated on every step ans sent loads of update pics and videos. Grazyna the cat approves!”
“Kirsty looked after my fur babies in my home fantastically, she helped find a way to best give one of my babies medication, so extra stars for that. She helped keep the place tidy and was wonderfully caring and considerate and communicated well and I felt confident that they were in good hands. Thank you so much Kirsty ⭐️”
“Excellent service from Leanne and Kane. Both were very warm and I felt reassured they would take good care of our cats. They were interested in their different personalities and and what each cat liked. Really good communication whilst we were away with daily updates with lots of photos. Would strongly recommend and would use them again”
“This is the second time to have Shelby looking after my Cats. She’s the best pet sitter I’ve dealt with. She stayed in my flat for 3 weeks and looked after my 2 cats very well. She’s very nice and trustworthy person and my cats love her alot and feel extremely safe around her. She sent me regular updates and photos . And even she bought few toys to my cats as well. I would recommend her to everyone and I will book with her again for sure . Thank you Shelby xx”
“Excellent service - sent regular photos to reassure our cat we given A* service and well cared for. We had a separate issue with our house and she went out her way to help. Felt very safe with Louise, she knows how to work around our very shy cat and we will definitely lose her again.”
About: I have had two dogs of my own a bits and a crazy Cocker Spaniel, I also cared for a trainee guide dog puppy for 18 months over lockdown. I pet sit for friends on holiday working cocker spaniel, a cockapoo's and a chihuahua. I work from home flexible hours weekdays as an empty nester free a lot of weekends, so good availability and love, love walking roads and parks. I just follow as instructed the custom care for food and keep on the lead at all times, fresh water and keep company and a constant eye with cuddles and play.
“Terisa is wonderful! She has looked after our two boys multiple times now and we could not ask for more. Photo updates and videos daily, great communication and always leaves the house clean and tidy! We won’t use anyone else!”
About: I have had cats since birth and have cared for them all through my life. While cats have been the pet of choice in my household I have had various experiences with dogs from work experiences at various vets, family and owning a dog in my adulthood, as well as working for the guide dog association caring for the dogs that were in training while ghosting the trainers in action. Through my work at Vets, farms, stables and the guide dogs I am equipped in caring for a wide range of animals as well as training. This also means if you would like me to pet sit I can look after more than just dogs if that is what you need. As well as working on field with animals I am a Bio Veterinary Scientist, so rest assured I am knowledgeable about dogs as well as other animals. While I am currently job searching looking after your pet will provide me with continuous work experience to show I have a dedicated work ethic, as well as giving yourself peace of mind during working days. I will ask you, the owner, if your beloved pet has anything they do not like doing or that makes them anxious. My goal is to ensure your dog is not just okay on a walk or being cared for but is thriving and having an enriching time. Through my own pet experience and having worked at various vets I am capable of administering medication, my own cat has asthma and requires a pump so nothing you say will surprise me if your dog has any issues. I will ask if your dog has any medical or mental issues for me to be aware about and adapt the care I provide for you dog.
About: I've been looking after other people's pets as well as my own for many years. They always take to me and we get along well. I only work part time, so have plenty of free time to look after pets of all kinds. I'm happy to house sit, take dogs for walks or pop in for feeding and cuddles. I'm not able to accommodate pets in my home due to my cat disliking having his home invaded. I'm happy to stay in your home overnight if this would be helpful.
About: I've been around dogs as long as I can remember. I cared for my Frenchie from a puppy until a senior, as well as taking in other people's pets whilst they are away or aren't able to care for them. As a very active person, I love to go for long runs and adventures through forests or parks but am just as happy caring, cuddling and loving them when they need it. I'm a university student, so my availability is mainly the weekends and term breaks. I would also be more than happy to take dogs out in the evenings for walks and exercise if this fitted with both of our schedules, am happy to travel to you for this. Based in Richmond, I am aware of parks that are fenced and safe for dogs to be off leash (if able to be) and with plenty of space for playing! I'm aware of where is good to allow dogs to socialise with other dogs and where is a bit more quiet for nervous pets.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 6 years, starting from when my own puppy was just one month old. I handled everything from feeding and training to grooming and daily walks. I’ve also lived in a household with cats—my sister had one and I regularly helped with feeding, cleaning litter boxes, and giving them attention. Friends and family often rely on me to help care for their pets, and I always treat each animal with patience, love, and respect. I’m confident handling both young and older pets. I’m currently not work so I have plenty of time to take care of pets and play with them. Can feed them on time and go out for walks as required I have a fenced garden and clean new refurbished house which allow pets stay in a comfortable and safe place. Currently I don’t have any pets at home and no child, you don’t have to worried about any conflicts

About: I absolutely adore animals. I have had dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, birds. I would honestly go as far as saying animals are better than humans. My idea of heaven is me on a farm with as many cats, horses & dogs as I could have! Your animals will be loved & cared for by someone who has grown up with animals her whole life I am a self employed accountant: I work from my laptop wherever I want and I set the hours I want. I had 1 cat & 1 dog recently but unfortunately I lost my little French Bulldog - my beautiful boy . So now it is just me and my little cat. I am very attentive & caring animal lover. Your pets safety is the upmost importance. To make them feel safe & loved whilst you are away.
About: I am currently a Uni student that loves animals, while I would love to have some, unfortunately I can't, as I am currently living in accommodation, to get around that I decided to try and find some to take care of! :) I have had a few pets ever since I was little, from hamsters, tortoises, birds, dogs and so on. I have taken care of quite a few pets, such as cats, dogs, birds, etc, mostly of these pets were dogs as I am more familiar with dogs and they are my favourite animal. I try my best to spoil the pets, by buying them toys, their favourite snacks and so on. I can do weekends, just contact me to arrange the times as I am usually working. Rest assured that you'll leave your pets in safe hands. I am currently working part time and studying full time, therefore I might need to check my calendar before confirming any bookings, but I am always willing to walking/taking care of your pet(s). Apologies for that! I have experience with many dogs, small, medium and big. I will always make sure that the needs of your pet(s) are fulfilled as well as ensuring a safe environment for them to play/roam around.
About: I’ve had 2 dogs with my family for more than 10 years and have taken care of them both. I can follow instructions easily and have experience in giving prescribed medications to dogs due to one of ours taking medication for most of his doggy life. I currently work 3 days in the office, 2 days working from home and off on weekends. I can care for your pet on the days I’m off and working from home easily. I’m comfortable with whatever the owner need and want for their pets as long as instructions are communicated. I own a car and can travel to places if needed.
About: My sister has a dog that I take care of regularly. He is a Malshi (Maltese shih tzu mix) and he is now 13 years old! I have trimmed his fur and bathed him multiple times over the years. I take him for walks, to the park and to pick up my nieces from school. I also grew up with a Great Dane. He was my neighbours dog and I used to take him for walks all the time. I work remotely during the week so I can be flexible. I can easily house/pet sit. I am happy to discuss a schedule that suits everyone best I have two cats of my own. I make sure the litter box is always clean and the litter is replaced every few days. There is always fresh water available as well as dry food to graze on throughout the day and wet food pouches given twice daily.
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents and exotic animals including amphibians, reptiles and inverts from a young age. I have experience with various breeds, sizes and temperaments and am confident with challenging behaviour in dogs. I'm comfortable caring for all sorts of animals from cats and dogs to tarantulas and centipedes! My own weekly routine is very flexible so I am able to provide a diverse range of care depending on your pet's individual needs and requirements. I can provide your pet care in the comfort of your own home with housesitting or drop-in visits for company, feeding, toileting and walking. I am unable to provide boarding services.
About: I have 3 dogs myself all different breeds and sizes. I am a dog lover and love to see them happy after their daily walkies. I have experience with both puppies and older dogs. I have had dogs from as small as a chihuahua to as big as an American bully so plenty of experience with both those and anything in between. Just an all round dog lover 🫶 I work from home so I have plenty of time to spend some time with some pups take them on adventurous walks over forests and fields. My dogs are my world. They are aloud on the sofa with permission, all toilet trained in my home and love cuddles of an evening 🥰

I am so glad to have come across Louise’s profile - Matilda is such a nervous cat around strangers & will hide away from people she doesn’t know, so it’s always a worry leaving her. It was such a surprise, and a relief, to see the photos and videos of Matilda coming out & getting lots of fuss from Louise. We came home to a cat who had clearly been well looked after. I will definitely be calling on Louise again.
Kirsty looked after my fur babies in my home fantastically, she helped find a way to best give one of my babies medication, so extra stars for that. She helped keep the place tidy and was wonderfully caring and considerate and communicated well and I felt confident that they were in good hands. Thank you so much Kirsty ⭐️
This is the third time we’ve used Georgina to look after our cat and as usual Georgina was amazing in popping in everyday, keeping us updated and sending us lots of pictures. We came back home after ten days to a very happy kitty. Thank you Georgina, Hugo misses you already and can’t wait for the next visit.
I booked Adina last minute to take care of my cat Archie on a bank holiday weekend when my other cat sitter cancelled last weekend. Adina was able to squeeze me in. Adina took very good care of Archie, and I was reassured by her prompt communication and care that Archie was well taken care of over the weekend. Archie had just been recently rehomed to me and this was the first time that I had left him overnight and with a sitter, so I was initially nervous but that soon melted away with the photos and videos Adina sent me. I would recommend Adina to anyone.
This was our first experience with a cat sitter, and we are very pleased with Anna and Rover. Anna was thoughtful, friendly, and went out of her way to accommodate my requests. We just got back home to well fed and taken care of cats, who were missing us, for sure, but that was to be expected, since we were gone for 2 weeks. I love the fact that I got to see pictures and videos of the cats everyday, and I would have a brief chat with Anna, everyday, where she would update me about all three of my cats. It's been a happy experience. We will be looking forward to booking Anna and Rover again. Thank you!
Katie did a fantastic job looking after my cat, Jessica Fletcher. She sent me updates every day and it was clear that Jess was happy to see her and took an instant liking to her. I came home to a happy cat, and a tidy house. Katie was super reliable, trustworthy and gave me absolute peace of mind whilst I was away. I would 100% recommend her to anyone and I will be booking her again without hesitation.
