Pet Sitting Kings Heath

About: I’ve had pet dogs for the majority of my life, with experience of small, medium and large dogs of all ages. I’ve cared for puppies to elderly dogs, and my current dog is a rescue. Over my lifetime I feel like I’ve handled anything being a dog owner could throw at you; but dogs still never fail to surprise me! I work from home 2 days a week, so am home all day 4 days a week in total. I’m able to have your dog with me either all day or overnight. I will provide walks and entertainment, and your dog can comfortably relax in a safe environment with a large enclosed garden. I have a comfortable home, with a large enclosed garden. I currently have one small dog myself who will be more than happy to play with your dog, but will equally leave them be if they want some space. I don’t own a crate but am happy for you to bring yours for your dog to spend time in should they wish.

“we were leaving our beloved cat for the first time so we were quite nervous, and Ben was absolutely fantastic. he took such great care of her and really seemed to show her lots of love and affection which we really appreciated. would definitely recommend.”

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: Hi, I'm Rebecca 😊 I'm a lifelong dog lover and sole dog owner of almost 8 years. Having sole responsibility for Bowie has meant routinely relying on paid services as well as the kindness of family and friends to ensure he lives his best life! I therefore regularly care for and walk friends' dogs in return - from a 10kg Cocker Spaniel puppy to a 30kg Swiss Shepherd. I know how important it is that you feel completely confident you're leaving your dog in the best care while you're away. I'm therefore happy to arrange a meet and greet, provide regular updates, and follow any specific requirements you or your dog may have. Walks can be solo or with Bowie (he's very laid-back and gets along with all dogs). Boarding will be with Bowie, but he loves hosting furry friends and will be a fun playmate for their stay! As a part-time teacher, I have flexibility on my days off and during the school holidays - and I'd love nothing more than to spend that time boarding and walking dogs! My availability is set to Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and school holidays as standard. However, I can also do evening walks and drop-ins Monday-Thursday too, so feel free to enquire even if my calendar says I'm not available for something you need. I live in a spacious two-bed ground floor flat with a large fenced garden. Boarders will have access to the whole flat, including sofas and beds. Boarders will have access to the garden whenever they wish - with toilet breaks at least every two hours. Whether boarding or walking, I'm a keen walker with access to multiple large parks walking distance from my front door. Bowie usually gets a minimum of 2 hours off-lead walks per day - boarders could join for these or have a separate schedule depending on their needs. If you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to ask 😊

“I cant say thanks enough for Josh taking care of Spickey, he was updating me at every walk, and when i decided to stay extra time at holiday Josh helped me to keep taking care of her for time. Spickey looked happy in all photos, so i knew she is well looked after, she is old and deaf dog, what did not bother Josh. I was calm, as he has all qualifications like CPR for dogs to take care of senior dog as well. Im so grateful for care he provided. And would highly recommend him! And will definitely use him again for my next holiday.”

“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!”

“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.”

About: I have two years experience with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens who need extra patience, structure, and positive reinforcement, to senior pets who require a gentler approach, slower walks, or additional comfort and care. I’m happy to follow your routine to help them feel at ease. I’ve had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of dogs and cats over the past few years, and caring for animals is something I truly love. I’m also a pet owner myself — I have a Pomeranian, a Pomsky, and two bunnies — so I completely understand how important routine, attention, and personalised care are for every pet. I always make sure the pets in my care feel comfortable, settled, and well looked after. I stick closely to their usual routines and ensure they receive plenty of time, attention, exercise, and affection. I treat every pet as if they were my own.

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.

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

“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: Often relied upon to look after neighbours / family / friends pets whilst they are away on holiday. Previously a trusted member of Borrow My Doggy website.

“Eve took wonderful care of our cats while we were away for 2 weeks. She kept us updated with photos and messages everyday and we came home to two happy cats. Highly recommend, thank you so much!”

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.

About: I currently own a 2.5 year old Labrador who is super friendly, loves both dogs and humans and adores playing fetch in the park! I’ve also grown up with family dogs my whole life including dogs who are rescued and elderly. I work from home, so I can offer a home away from home for your pet which includes a garden. I can take your pet out for a walk in the park either with or without my own dog - whatever suits you! Because I already own a dog, the house is full of exciting dog toys and treats too! As a current dog owner myself, I know how much work it requires to have a pet, so if I can offer you a little break or take any worries off your mind, then I’m happy to do so! I am currently working from home and take my Labrador for 2x walks a day in the park across the road. We also play in the garden at home but also make sure he gets enough rest and cuddles on the sofa! I am happy to work with your requirements. I.e I am confident I can leave your pet feeling happy, exercised and well fed (if feeding is required).

“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!”

“Millie was amazing with our puppy Nala. It was Nala’s first time being left, Millie was so patient (cleaned up the mess without a fuss) and made Nala’s first experience of being left so positive. Thank you Millie!”

“We are very fortunate to have found Jayme to care for. our puppy Benji. She has been visiting most days since the beginning of September and straight away you could see that she has a great love of dogs. Benji took to her instantly and he is even going to spend a day soon with Jayme and Ruby in day care. She is professional and reliable but more than that is warm and caring, energetic and fun. Communication is fantastic, we receive lots of great photos, videos and funny comments each visit. Jayme has also done some training with Benji and has been very adaptable to his changing needs. Highly recommended.”
