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.

Happy to look after dogs and make them feel at ease I can do evenings or weekends or weekdays im off. Just message me to see if im free. I will be at home in the evenings and weekends.

About: Fully Insured 🐾 DBS checked 🐾 Owner of Zeus’ Zoomies 🤎 I’ve always had an unshakeable love for animals, and that’s why I know I’d be a great pick to take care of your furry family members! Whether it’s a fun walk, a lively game, or a snuggle session, I’m here to give your pets all the attention and love they deserve. I’m a proud dog mom to my own rescue dog—my beautiful Zeus who has completely transformed from a tough past to the adorable, goofy ball of joy he is today. He’s come on leaps and bounds, and I can't imagine my life without him! His journey has given me so much understanding of the patience, care, and empathy that pets need, especially those with a rough start. It’s made me even more passionate about animal welfare. When I’m not spending time with my rescue,I’m either studying or working at my part time job🫶 I know that each pet is unique, and I make sure to tailor every interaction to their needs. Dogs get long walks, tons of playtime, and all the belly rubs they can handle, while cats get their cozy, quiet cuddle time! 💌 I’m always happy to go the extra mile to make sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like family, then I’d love to meet them and help out however I can!🦮🐾🐱🤍 When I’m not spending time with my rescue,I’m either studying or working at my part time job🫶 I currently have two little pups I see weekly for drop-ins and walks — lots of cuddles and playtime! Still available for more furry friends☺️ I know that each pet is unique, and I make sure to tailor every interaction to their needs. Dogs get long walks, tons of playtime, and all the belly rubs they can handle, while cats get their cozy, quiet cuddle time! 💌 I will always ensure I update my availability regularly! ☺️ When caring for pets in their own home, my top priority is making them feel comfortable, secure, and loved in a familiar environment. I always stick to their routine as closely as possible—whether it's their feeding schedule, favorite walk routes, or cuddle time. I believe consistency helps pets feel more at ease, especially when their owner is away. I make sure to give them the right balance of playtime, exercise, and relaxation, based on their individual needs. I’m also mindful of any special instructions or care routines that your pet may have, whether it’s administering medication, sticking to a specific feeding schedule, or giving them extra TLC. If your dog enjoys a long walk or a good game of fetch, I’m all about getting their energy out in a safe and fun way. And if your cat loves to curl up for some quiet, cozy time, I’ll make sure they get all the purring time they deserve. I also keep a close eye on their behavior to make sure they’re comfortable, and I’ll always notify you if there’s anything unusual or that needs attention. Most importantly, I treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I would my own. You can trust that your pet will be in good hands, feeling loved, safe, and cared for, just like they would if you were home!
About: Hi! I'm Ren and I'm 29, based in Suffolk. Growing up with dogs, cats, ducks, chickens, horses, and rabbits, I've nurtured a deep understanding of their needs and behaviours, treating each furry or feathered friend with the utmost care and affection. I've successfully trained dogs in essential commands and behaviours, including the joy of attending specialised agility classes. Over eight years of owning huskies has taught me invaluable lessons in patience and the importance of individualised attention. By choosing me as your pet sitter, you're selecting a devoted caregiver who will treat your pet as part of my own extended family. Their happiness, safety, and comfort are my heartfelt priorities 🥰 Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine, especially since I work from home. This allows me the flexibility to provide constant companionship and attention to your pet throughout the day. Whether it's regular feeding schedules, playtime breaks, or ensuring they get their daily exercise, I prioritise their well being as a natural part of my daily schedule. It also means I can be readily available for any unexpected needs or extra cuddle sessions your pet may require, ensuring they feel loved and cared for at all times. **Drop In’s’ - For a 60 minute visit, I include a 30 minute walk. If it’s a 30 minute visit, I typically aim for a quick 15 minute stroll or play in the garden, to ensure there’s still time for play, feeding, and getting everything all settled before I have to leave ☺️ When pets are in my home, I create a comfortable environment with designated spaces for rest and play. I ensure they get regular exercise, nutritious meals, and plenty of affection. When caring for pets in their own homes, I maintain their routines, provide companionship, and respect their environment while keeping owners updated on their well being. Whether in my home or theirs, I treat each pet with love and attention as if they were my own.
About: My biggest so far challenge, was my “staff”breed. In fact, with lots of love, and an appropriate training approach, we bonded perfectly. Once or twice, i walked four “wiggle wags”at the same time, handful of treats worked just as well, we made a one “great pack” effort. A Caring for well-being of your pets will be depending on binding a joy of life, healthy snacks, and a cosy rest. I am self employed and managing most of my own schedule. I will find a time and i can fit in a pet care in, at my best. a Big garden with secured fencing, plus live next to one of the biggest parks in town, so if the pet dog is in need of good run, surely can provide that.

Katherine walked my Chow Chow, Chewie, 3 times per week for just over 9 months. She was always really lovely with Chewie and tailored walks to his needs especially as he gets very hot in the summer! She had great communication with me and was very flexible- I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker.
