Cat Sitting in Ipswich

About: Since a young age I’ve always looked after family’s pets whilst they’re away on holiday. I frequently look after my friends dogs / cats whilst they go away either at theirs or mine. I love long walks & getting fresh air and am a huge animal lover. I work part time as a care and support worker, I spend a lot of time at home & in the garden in my spare time I have a fully fenced garden, with space to have a run around, I have room for anything you’d like to bring over to the house.

“Mark has been awesome. Reliable, friendly and with great daily updates and reassuring pics to know the cats were fine and well looked after. Many thanks!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m calm, patient, and reliable, and I always follow each pet’s routine closely. I prefer one-on-one walks so I can give dogs my full attention and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, playtime, and lots of affection, and I take responsibility and trust very seriously. I currently have a flexible schedule, which means I’m able to fit pet care easily into my daily routine. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits during weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I follow instructions carefully, respect your home, and keep pets on leads unless told otherwise. I make sure doors and gates are secure, routines are followed closely, and pets feel calm, safe, and well cared for at all times.

“We asked Laura to step in at the last moment while we were on holiday - and luckily she was able to help. She was really flexible and friendly. One of the cats needed a tablet twice a day. Laura came, gave the tablet and checked in, checked water ( and petted) our 3 cats. She left helpful comments and took good pictures to reassure us that all was well. Thanks Laura. Would recommend Laura and use her again.”

“Milly did a great job of coming to see Stan. I was apprehensive of how it would all work but Milly reassured me along the way. I will certainly be using Rover and Milly again. Thank you.”

“Tania has been the most amazing cat sitter over the last couple of weeks. Words can't explain how grateful I am for her care and attention towards Mango. We arranged a meet and greet and everything clicked right away. Tania has been incredibly friendly and reliable. She has been accommodating to all of my requests, even those that were made at short notice. I highly recommend Tania and look forward to working with her again soon.”

“We have a difficult dog. It’s the truth, as much as I love him. Despite that, these guys have cares for him so well! We are very thankful and couldn’t recommend them enough.”

“Can’t recommend Amanda enough. Amanda was reliable, and demonstrated a compassionate, loving nature. Having never used this service before, receiving daily photos and updates, gave us a lot of reassurance. Thank you! 🤩”

About: I love all animals, and will treat them with the love and care I'd want for my best friend (Lottie, golden doodle/golden oldie). I grew up with dogs - mostly spaniels, and my human baby is being raised a dog (and animal) lover too! My family is me, my wife, our baby, a dog (Lottie, my bestie), and a tortoise (mushroom) 🍄 🐢 I joined Rover to support my family flexibly around childcare and other work (looking after children). We've had pets before with medical needs like an FIV+ cat, dogs that need physio etc. We've also had and looked after exotic pets like bearded dragons, leopard geckos and snakes. I love all animals, big or small - including rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish etc. I've also had a long career looking after children and vulnerable people with varying needs - so I hope this shows that I'm compassionate, caring and trustworthy. I'm looking to fill my life with things I love, like hanging out with animals, my family and candle making! For boarding, please make sure you're happy for your pet to stay with the rest of my family. For some walks I might bring my little one and/or Lottie fluff ball - but I'd check that's okay with you first 😊 Please let me know if you have any questions about me, my experience or my family. Thank you for trusting me to take care of your fur-baby (or scaley, finned or otherwise)! I've recently become a Dad to a lovely little baby who already gets so excited when he sees dogs or plays ball with them. I've also started a hand-made candle company. So, I'm quite flexible with hours as I go out with my baby and my dog at any time of day. I'm also happy to do solo walks if you prefer, just let me know! For walkies: Christchurch park is one of our favourite walks. We also love Holywells, Bourne park, the Dales, and Bramford Meadows. I can take your dog(s) in the car if you have appropriate harnesses - or we have ones you can borrow (for medium size dogs). Or we can just go for a local stroll. Let me know if you'd be happy for me to walk your dog with my dog and/or human baby - or if they'd prefer a solo walk 👣🐾 For sitting: I will always treat your home with respect, like taking my shoes off and making sure windows and doors are locked when I leave. I'll follow any and all rules of how you'd like me to look after your pet and/or home. For boarding: We have a long, good-sized garden that is fenced. Lottie has a lot of dog toys that she's happy to share. We have a tortoise, dog and human baby - so your pet will have to be comfortable with that. P.s. We make home made snacks for dogs - like dried liver. Please let me know if your dog has any dietary requirements

“Our dog Rudy absolutely loved Sam. Would highly recommend her as a dog sitter and will be using her again in the future!”

“Rhiannon was fantastic with my cats for a drop in visit one of my cats is very anxious but she came out for Rhiannon for food and play. Rhiannon was very friendly and made sure she knew everything before visiting our girls. I got some lovely photos through the visit too so i could be reassured they was ok. I’ll definitely be getting back in touch with Rhiannon again.”

About: I grew up on a farmhouse in the Czech Republic, surrounded by animals from a very young age. Our home was always full of life with rabbits, chickens, ducks, cats, and a dog. One of my favourite memories is going on long walks with our German Shepherd, Risa, which helped shape my love for caring for animals. After moving to England, I really missed having animals around me, so I decided to volunteer with Blue Cross. There, I gained hands-on experience caring for cats in their pens, walking dogs, and socialising puppies. This taught me how to adapt to different personalities and needs, as well as how to make animals feel calm and safe in new environments. I also regularly look after my friend’s pet rabbits, taking them outside and bringing back in when it's time for feeding, also administering medication when needed, which I am confident and comfortable doing. At home, I share my life with two indoor Bengal cats who I absolutely adore. I work from home, which means I spend a lot of quality time with them playing, enriching their environment, and training. My cats also enjoy supervised garden time on a lead, so I’m very mindful of safety and gentle encouragement. As I work from home, I enjoy a change of scenery, and caring for pets is the perfect fit. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love building trust with animals. I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone who treats them like family, and that’s exactly how I care for every animal I look after. I work from home with flexible hours, which means I have plenty of time and presence to give your lovely pet the care, attention, and companionship they need throughout the day. I can do my work while your pet is resting, so they have my full attention when they need it. I provide care in your pet’s familiar environment, following your guidance closely so they feel safe and settled. I focus on maintaining routines, offering companionship, and giving each pet the attention and care they need, while treating your home with respect.

About: I’ve always loved animals since I was a little girl. I have a dog on my own a cat, I’ve always been an animals girl I currently work full-time, but my hours are very up-and-down at the moment. Meaning I have quite a lot of free time in between my work. Depending on the job at my house, I have a big garden that is all safely fenced in as well as a nice house with plenty of space for cat or dog. In the home, I’m very good at keeping everything clean and ensuring that the animals needs a Matt.

About: I've had 3 years + experience with pets, taking care of dogs as young as 8 months to 11 years old, from Greyhounds to Cairn Terriors. Throughout this time I've joined Zoom recall training for a Beagle puppy I cared for, provided post operative care and administered medication to my most senior dogs. I'm currently volunteering for The Cinnamon Trust charity to help the elderly walk their dogs as well as being a member of Borrowmydoggy. I now have 2 dogs of my own, 2 sausage dogs who love meeting new pooches. I work full time but I have evenings and weekends free to offer dog walking and Drop in visits for any pet from Turtles to Rabbits as well as Dogs. I have a reasonable sized garden fully fenced off and bolt gated. My first priority is your pet at all times. Ensuring doors are shut, the correct diet is given to those with special requirements and medication is administered on time. I am aware of the current concern around dog theft so therefore I am always happy to keep doors locked and don't mind the use of indoor cameras, as long as I'm warned to look presentable 😂

“I recently hired Ren for dog walking/drop in visits, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. From the initial consultation, it was clear that Ren genuinely cares about dogs. Ren took the time to get to know Reggie, understanding his needs energy levels and generally bonding with him which was so lovely to see. Communication with Ren was amazing, she is very organised and we received quick responses to messages where she specified certain requirements and was always was willing to fit in with our plans. Ren provided regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease while I was at work and were very comical too. I appreciated the reliability and professionalism always on time and ready to take care of Reggie’s every need. We can’t wait to have Ren to look after to Reggie again, it’s amazing when you find someone who cares for your dog as much as you do! Thank you Ren and see you soon”

About: Must be child friendly 💜 One of my favourite things to do when taking care of dogs is taking them on days out and visiting different dog friendly places with them - if that’s also their thing! We love to go on a lot of walks, staying active and stimulated. We also have a cemetery moments away which is popular to us dog walkers for all types of dog personalities due to the lead only rule - great for those that prefer to be on a walk uninterrupted. I know that some dogs do struggle with separation anxiety which is why one of my strategies is to take them out on a walk almost immediately after a drop off as it rather quickly settles them and helps them to form a bond and trust with me. They will receive lots of love, attention and play - your dog’s happiness will be my top priority. I believe that I am not providing just a care for your companions but also in a way, their owners too. You will receive lots of photos and updates throughout their stay, that is something extremely important to me to provide for you as I know how at ease it’ll make you feel whilst you’re away from your pets and I will want to make sure you can enjoy your time away with all the reassurance you need! - I lock in prices so if my fees are to go up in the future they will always remain at the original price for you. I work early during the day whilst my partner works during the night, there will always be someone here at the house for your dog! I will like to know your routine to keep it as similar as it is when they’re at home I can. We will love for you to bring their home comforts.
