Pet Sitting Holsworthy

About: I have grown up with and around dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and birds. Caring for animals is apart of my everyday life. I have cared for family and friends dogs many times which have included, big, small, old and young dogs, I have also cared for dogs with specific routines and on medication. I am currently working part-time so fitting in checks and walks is no problem. I love being outside and going for long walks come rain or shine. I understand that a new face entering a pets home can be daunting for them, and that each pet is an individual. I like to ask a lot of questions before I visit the home so that I can give your pet the best experience.

“Rachel was fabulous - kept to the times and communicated well. She has a great approach to dogs and our dog was very happy with her.”

“Paige was utterly fantastic and me (and my 2 cats) thoroughly enjoyed having her come along and feed them whilst I was away. She provided me with photos each time she visited so it was really useful for me to have this progress report. I will definately use her again. Many thanks Paige! 🤩 Hannah (Bush-Bude)”

About: I began by independently fostering a pregnant cat who I rescued from the streets, providing housing and care throughout her pregnancy and raising her kittens to ensure their health and development. This experience led me to a role at an animal rescue, where I worked for approximately a year caring for rescue cats and dogs, managing all aspects of their care. A key part of this work involved confidence building, to ensure good quality of life. Consistent handling to help the animals feel secure and settle into their new environment. I’m currently working from home so I will be in your dogs/cats company for majority of the day. Typically I do a daily big walk for myself so this is something your dog can potentially join in on. I live in a small studio apartment in the country side with a large garden (not fenced in) lots of land surrounding me, and many nature walks. There are friendly dogs on the property which your dog can befriend depending on your preference for that.

About: I have always had a strong love for animals and plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I have my own Blue Staffy who is now 15 years old, so I have grown up caring for and looking after a dog throughout all stages of their life. I also regularly help look after my boyfriend’s three dogs throughout the week, giving me experience with caring for multiple dogs with different personalities and needs. When I was a teenager, I was regularly trusted by neighbours, family and friends to walk their dogs, and was paid to provide this care. I also regularly dog and house sit for family and friends whenever i can. I’m reliable, caring and responsible, and I always make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection and the individual care they need. I currently have a flexible schedule as I am looking for work, which means I have plenty of time and availability to dedicate to caring for pets. I am able to adapt my daily routine around each pet’s individual needs, whether that means regular walks, feeding times, playtime, companionship or staying overnight. My current flexibility also means I can be available during weekdays, weekends and for overnight stays, depending on the booking. I would make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods of time. I am used to having dogs as part of my everyday routine through caring for my own 15-year-old Blue Staffy and regularly looking after my boyfriend’s three dogs. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality and requirements, and I am happy to follow their usual schedule as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and settled while their owners are away.
