Cat Sitting Kings Heath

About: I'm new to formal dog sitting, but dogs have always been part of my family and I’ve been informally doing this years. Every dog we've had has been a rescue, so I have experience with a wide range of personalities and needs. Because of this, I’ve also got experience caring for senior dogs and those with medical needs, including administering insulin injections to a diabetic dog and managing a controlled diet. I'm patient, reliable, and provide a calm, loving environment where every dog can feel safe and at home. I work at a desk most of the time so am just as grateful as your dog for the chance to get outside and stretch my legs! I work fully remotely Monday-Friday, 9-5pm so I can be attentive to your little ones even during the day and give you peace of mind that they won’t be in short supply of love and company when I’m sitting. As a pet owner, I know how much of a big deal it is to trust somebody with caring for your pet. So I’ll look after them by minimising disruptions to their routine and environment, so they feel happy and comfortable in my company, leaving them to their space and giving them love on their own terms. Clear and detailed instructions are always welcome!

About: Have looked after many different breeds for friends, family friends and acquaintances over the years and have yet to meet a dog i haven’t won over. i have looked after dogs that needed medication so can easily learn a routine if needed I am currently not studying so I have lots of time to walk dogs and take care of pets without any distractions and can be available often i have multiple good sized gardens with grass and fences plus access to nice private parks and can offer either a pet free home or one with a very friendly gentle dog

“Fantastic cat sitter! My cats tend to be really nervous around new people but when Nicola first visited they both came up to her and not ran away. She was great at following the specific feeding instructions and gave great updates each feeding sessions. I would absolutely use Nicola again in the future.”

“Tay was absolutely brilliant with my very nervous cat and instantly bonded with him which was such a relief as this was the first time that I had left him. I felt totally reassured. She was very calm, communicated well and sent lots of lovely messages and videos to keep me up to date. 100% recommend! Thank you Tay. 😊”

“Josh is absolutely phenomenal. Second time we’ve used Josh to look after our little misfit of a Pomeranian, and to be honestly he’s the only person we completely trust to. Josh is is extremely reliable and goes the extra mile every single time for us and our dog Leenie. Sends us a daily update on Leenie while we’re away with tons of pictures and we feel at ease knowing she’s in the safest possible hands. Leenie trusts and adores Josh so it’s a win win. Josh will remain our go to to look after Leenie as long as he’ll have us again haha! Thank you as always Josh and until next time :D x”

About: 🐕 I've loved animals all my life and grew up with both cats and dogs. For the last 10 years, I have looked after other people's pets, providing overnight house-sitting, daily walks or twice-a-day drop in visits. I genuinely love walking and am more than happy to do up to two 1-hour walks a day to keep your dog active and happy. When I care for your pet, they get my full attention, plenty of love, and a consistent routine. 🐈 Cat Sitting: I am equally happy caring for cats, whether they prefer lots of playtime or just someone to check in on them and let them know they're not alone. 🌟 My Experience • Senior & Routine Care: I have a decade of experience looking after elderly dogs, keeping them safe, comfortable, and on their familiar schedules. • Medication: I am patient and comfortable administering daily medications, including eye drops and oral liquids. • Leash Safety: I am very used to walking dogs that need to stay on the lead due to reactivity with other animals, and I always stay alert outdoors - I won't be looking at my phone while I'm with your dog! I'm self-employed and work at home so have a very flexible schedule which means I am happy to fit around yours. I'm also available at short notice. If I am looking after your pet in your own home, I will follow all instructions on how to keep your pet safe and happy, making sure your home security and your pet’s routine are my top priorities. 🐾 Clean & Tidy Space: I am a very neat and clean person by nature, so I will always respect your home and leave your house in tip-top condition for your return. 🐾 Following Routines: I strictly adhere to your walk times, feeding schedules, dietary rules, and medication timings to maintain consistency for your pet. 🐾 Home Security: I will be super conscientious about your home security, ensuring doors & windows are securely locked, alarms are set. 🐾 Leash & Outdoor Safety: On walks, I am always alert and keep reactive dogs safely on the lead, keeping my eyes on what's happening in the environment ahead to avoid potential triggers. 🐾 Updates & Peace of Mind: I am more than happy to send regular photos & updates so you can see how well your pet is doing while you're away.

“Abi was great. Reliable and very reasonable price. My cat took to her immediately and she sat with her and fussed her, she didn't just feed her and leave. Me and my son would look forward to our daily photos from her check in. Will definitely call on Abi for our next break.”

“James was very communicative, sent pictures and did everything we asked so we felt comfortable leaving our cats in his care. The only thing to note was that he only stayed for around 20 minutes each time when we booked at 30 min drop in.”

About: I've currently got Clive, a staffy x mastiff and would love to be able to help others with their pets. I've had working golden retrievers growing up who we had from a puppy. I'm used to sticking to the routines a dog knows and have always been very comfortable with large dogs. I used to do borrow my doggy as a nursing uni student and looked after dogs and asked to do overnights so we could do big day trips with them. I now have Clive who is nervous of other dogs so I don't get to say hi as often as I'd want to to other dogs on walks. Hoping I'll get my fix this way instead! I know the local area and parks, am happy to go out in any weather even if my dog refuses when it's windy and cold! I have all the time to fit around your schedule. Either myself or partner will walk our dog depending on when I'm needed, otherwise I'm all yours! I'm happy to be guided by your routine and rules and will keep to that for stability for your pet. I've looked after friends pets in their house and mine (pair of labs, a shepherd X lab puppy, young cats) and know how important a routine is. I know the local area and will happily be out and about for as long as you want.

“I have contacted Ben as we took a last minute holiday. Ben was very quick in replying to my messages, he even rang me to discuss my dog needs which added a personal touch . Ben was looking after my dog and gave her medication 💊 with promptness and professionalism. Ben has a very good customer service and provides feedback after every visit. Thank you Ben for being such an honest and caring person.”

“Daryl’s been great, it’s been very reassuring having him look after our cat while we’ve been away. Loved receiving pictures of Blackwell so we know he is safe and sound. Daryl put lots of effort in with our shy guy which we really appreciate. Will be booking again, thanks!”

About: I have grown up with animals, multiple cats and been around families dogs. I am caring, patient and love walking. I love animals, I would love to be able to spend more time with them. I am currently working part time, it’s 12 hours but it can vary to 25. I usually have Mondays and Thursdays off so for those furry friends that need all day attention I can do that. In addition to this, I am fully flexible besides the hours of 12/2pm - 7pm- within those hours I cannot do but before and after I am happy to do mornings and evenings. I have outside cats, but we have a cat flap so they always have access to the toilet, food, water etc. I buy treats on occasion for my cats and always play with them, i love making sure they’re happy and not bored. I love to go for walks and saying hello to dogs and playing with them.

“Charlotte was fabulous with Merlin! He was so relaxed and happy when we came home. I would definetely use her services again. Thank you Charlotte!”

“Another fantastic job by Eve. Loved getting the photo and video updates. My cat loves her and she is so sensible and reliable. I had zero worries about my cat whilst I was away :)”

“Imogen did an hour drop in on our 10 month old dog, Drogo. She took him for nice long walk and fed him for us whilst we were out. She came and met us and Drogo a few days beforehand and we immediately knew he would be in good hands, and he was! Highly recommend Imogen and wouldn't hesitate booking her again when needed in the future. Thanks so much Imogen!”

Adam W.

“Thanks so much to Anna for looking after our cat, Ginny, for a week while we were away. It was very reassuring to know she was in safe hands and receive a short update each visit. Ginny can be quite timid but warmed to Anna straightaway.”

About: I have grown up with 4 Old English Sheepdogs who certainly kept the family busy! I now own a tuxedo cat, Percy. Naturally, I have lots of experience with larger dogs. I previously worked in community healthcare and have encountered a wide range of dogs and cats. I work from home and have a flexible working schedule, allowing me to leave the house for home visits for extended periods of time. I am able to drive to your house and offer overnight stays. I have previously worked in community healthcare and understand the importance of respect and etiquette when entering a client’s home. I act with courtesy and care to ensure a seamless service, leaving your pet well catered for.

“Millie was great with our puppy! She took him to the toilet, fed him, and played with him for an hour to bridge a gap whilst we were out for a few hours. Millie also came for a meet prior to the visit, which was great to show her everything and for our puppy to meet her. Will be booking again!”
