Cat Sitting Helston

About: ✅ DBS Checked ✅ ​Fully Insured ✅ Pet First Aid and CPR certified I have been pet sitting and dog walking for friends and family for the past 10+ years and have finally taken their advice to do so in a more serious capacity, having grown up with the sweetest and most gentle family dog which really drove my passion for animal care. Most of my experience has been centred around house sitting/overnight stays to care for pets, especially pets who are anxious or cannot be alone for long periods of time. Though born and raised in Helston, I have looked after a range of animals (from tropical fish to bearded dragons) for pet owners both in and outside the UK, but have recently moved back to Cornwall. My main focus is dogs/cats but I'm a quick learner and happy to help with whatever pet I can, so don't be afraid to reach out. - 10+ years experience with dogs (6 months to senior) - 7+ years experience with cats - Dog walking & Drop ins based in Helston only (for now) - House Sitting in Helston or anywhere accessible to public transport I currently have a fully free schedule so can easily fit around an owners needs. I may only take 11am-1pm off daily to fit in lunch or last minute/emergency drop ins. I make sure to follow a pet owners instructions to a tee and will treat their pet as if it were my own. I also make sure to leave any house I sit at in the same condition it was left in as that is just common decency and basic respect.

“I had a really positive experience from start to finish with Rianna. Our meet and greet was easy and reassuring, key exchange was straightforward, and I felt confident leaving my cat and home in her care. Pepe was happy and settled and my home was respected and looked after. Thanks so much Rianna.”

About: I have a vast experience caring for dogs and cats too and connect with them easily for lots of cuddles/ play whether for pop in visits or stays... fees negotiated for area I already have ad hoc bookings for dog and cat visits but can let you know my availability within 2 days and charge very reasonable rates This is my full time job so you can guarantee value for money and of course I clean up as I go and take care of the house/plants/post/security within the timescale

About: Caring for my neighbor's dog and looking after my beloved cat have been deeply rewarding experiences. When entrusted with my neighbor's dog, I embraced the responsibilities of regular walks, playtime, and feeding, forging a heartwarming bond and learning valuable lessons in patience, consistency, and reliability in pet care. At home, my quirky and independent cat has taught me the importance of understanding and respecting an animal's individuality, from keeping her well-fed to ensuring a clean litter box and providing ample affection. Both experiences have deepened my passion for pet care, reinforcing my commitment to giving animals the love and attention they deserve, recognizing that their trust and companionship are truly priceless. I’m currently working part time, I only work in mornings/midday so I’m free every evening and have other days where I’m free all day to look after any pets Caring for my cat in my own home and looking after my neighbor's dog in their house are two delightful yet distinct experiences in the realm of pet care. My beloved cat, a constant presence in my home, enjoys the comforts of a well-established routine. This includes ensuring she's well-fed with her preferred food, maintaining a clean litter box, and providing daily doses of love and attention tailored to her quirky personality. Her independent nature reminds me of the importance of respecting an animal's individuality, letting her set the boundaries while offering a warm lap and playful interactions when she's in the mood. On the other hand, tending to my neighbor's dog requires adapting to a new environment. In their house, I become the caretaker and companion, responsible for providing regular walks, playtime, and feeding, all while adhering to the familiar routines and preferences that the dog is accustomed to. This experience teaches me adaptability, patience, and the significance of reliability in pet care, as I must ensure the dog feels comfortable and secure in a different setting. Both experiences reinforce my passion for pet care and remind me that each animal, whether in their home or mine, deserves tailored attention, respect, and love. It's a privilege to provide the care and companionship these wonderful animals need to thrive and be happy.

About: My family has always owned dogs so I have a lifetime of personal experience. I volunteered and multiple animal sanctuaries and zoos growing up and I worked for pets at home for more than three years where i specialized in dog care. I am available most days and weekends for any bookings and will normally be happy to take bookings on short notice. The safety of the pets come first and for that reason I would make sure to supervise them and if in the garden make sure its enclosed and has no open gates. I work part time and have a very flexible daily schedule. The best thing to do is contact me with the dates and times you require and I will do my best to accommodate. The safety of your pets is my top priority, on our walks I like to keep them on the lead untill in certain they will listen to commands from me.

“Lorena helped day sit at very short notice for my friends Lab that was on heat. Excellent communication. Lorena arrived on time and asked lots of questions to confirm her genuine interest. She was wonderful with the Labrador pup confirmed. She gave updates throughout the afternoon which were much appreciated. Once my friend arrived home, he found his dog to be calm and happy and very comfortable with Lorena. He asked me to give her a top review and will be happy to ask her again for help! Thank you Lorena!”

I’d love to make the sitting unique to each pet and owner and making notes to your specific routine is a must, my communication is very fast and you can contact at any time, I’m not afraid to contact you if I’m unsure on something.

About: I have an enhanced DBS check and have looked after dogs and cats for neighbours and friends for over 10 years at home and during university. We have had dogs and cats for many years in the family home so am experienced in mixed pet households and love both cats and dogs. I’m currently setting up my own practice in Chiropractic and Sports Massage in Porthtowan and am looking for part time work to go alongside it looking after dogs and cats! It was my part time job when I was studying in Wales and have loved it so much I want to carry it on alongside normal work! Ensuring the garden is enclosed for example closed gate, but they also still have access to outside. Providing them spaces to relax and feel safe in your home.

About: I have looked after animals from a very young age, from little rodents, to dogs, cats and horses and donkeys. I’ve taken in rescue animals from kill centres, helped to foster animals aswell, I enjoy the outdoors, and I have specialised in senior care and disabilities, having looked after senior dogs as pets myself when they don’t want to walk so far but would like to have a little stroll. I’m currently looking at part time, as I work full time. Looking at doing drop in, and dog walking services so I’ll be available. I will treat your home like my own home, will care and attention. Your pets are my priority, I will upload walks and will keep you up to date with the services I provide.

About: I’ve had dogs of all sizes my whole life, growing up I’ve always been keen to walk, feed, wash and care for them. I have most of my experience with boxers, French and English bulldog puppies from birth. I currently study at uni, so have lots of free time for short and longer walks, especially during holidays and weekends. I’m more than happy for any special arrangements you may need or a negotiable price to work for us both. I’m sure your dog will become comfortable and happy in my hands so you can feel safe and content with their care :) P.s much appreciated if I am able to bring my partner for longer house sits (of course we can meet prior) I’m currently studying geography at uni but have lots of availability around my schedule to walk or provide pet care, plus, my car for longer adventures! Although i am at uni and cannot care for your pet in my home, I can walk and pet sit in your own home in however ways you require

About: I have taken care of and owned reactive/anxious dogs for over a decade, from training our first family rescue dog in 2012, to later volunteering and fostering for the Cinnamon Trust. More recently I have been housesitting dogs and cats around Devon & Cornwall. Having grown up around dogs and nature, long walks accompanied with pups is my happy place. My work requires 16 hours/week of in-office work, I am happy to arrange annual leave for sits (with enough warning) or we can discuss shift schedules when arranging sits, to see what works best for your pets. My routine fits flexibly around whatever you and your dog request, when your pup prefers walks, food etc. is all decided by you! You know what your dog needs best. I will be guided and alter my care based on your preferences; on/off lead walking, dog-socialising, long/short walks, feeding times, etc.

About: I’ve always had pets growing up as a child, I have taken care of 4 dogs since I was 8. My love for them keeps growing with the years. I have taken care of any animal found abandoned on the street or badly treated, for me they all deserve care and love. I have volunteered at animal sanctuaries so I feel confident to take care of any sort of dog or cat. I am used to having lots of pets around, I love to walk them, cuddle, feed and bathe if needed. I am used to all sort of ages and breeds. I’m a freelance writer and I work mostly from home. I have plenty of flexibility and free time during the week. I share my house with my two friends who both adore animals and would give them much love. I miss my family dogs very much and taking care of your pet would make me so happy. I am always looking forward on spending some time with a four legged friend! I have a quiet backyard, it has a lovely shade and it’s very peaceful, so it is perfect for a day sitting. For the night I am happy to have your pet over unless it’s a big dog then I would prefer staying over at the owner’s home. I am very tidy and respectful, I will leave your house just as I have found it and I do believe the animal will feel safer being at their own home.

“Our puppy has separation anxiety, but Chloe was there to look after her and our puppy took to her. We appreciated the updates in photos. We would recommend Chloe to anyone who needs dog-sitting :)”

About: I have had cats my whole life and am known for my love for all of my cats, I ensure they are always watered and fed, I play games with them all the time. My cats always have full bellies and are very happy I am free most weekdays and some weekends, I am available more in the evenings but if you need a day let me know and I’ll see what I can do :) I ensure my cats are given time to go outside to get some fresh air and make sure they are fed twice a day, their litter is changed every single day. I of course make sure their water bowl is always full. My cats have a large scratch post and warm bed for them to use whenever they want. In the summer i provide my cats with frozen cat treats to keep them cool.

About: My whole life I’ve been surrounded by dogs, I even grew up with Irish wolfhounds, so know how to handle the larger breeds. I’m very reliable and have walked dogs for a long time, and due to my love for animals, I’ll enjoy walking your dog just as much as they will. Im currently working a part time job so have plenty of free time to walk and play with your pups! I would love to pursue dog walking as a full time job and therefore my availability is very flexible. I have a large, fenced, secure garden and will keep you dogs entertained in their favourite way. Whether that be playing fetch or cuddling up with tummy scratches!!

About: I have always loved animals from a young age and have always looked after friends and family’s pets. I have my own little puppy, she is 7 months old and is very good with other animals. I would love to help others who need someone to either look after their pet or take on a walk. I work from home so can be flexible. I work from home so am super flexible and always put my furry friends needs first. I live quite an active life style as well so am always out and about making sure my pup gets the exercise and mental stimulation she needs. Makes sense to be able to help others who needs their pet looking after, walks or just check ins. I have an Italian spinone who is 7 months old, her name is Olive and she is super friendly, absolutely loves other animals and people. So if any pet decides to come here for the night, they will have company.
