Pet Sitting Linton

“Steve was so lovely with our dogs, who are nervous girls- they felt right at ease with him!”

“Jo was absolutely brilliant with our two boys. We’d decided that they were being made too anxious by cattery stays, and Jo was available to come in twice a day to look after them. Her kindness, professionalism and genuinely cheerful personality made this decision the best one we’ve made in a while. We had reports back from her after each visit and loads of photos which put us completely at ease while we were away. We cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you Jo!”

“Emma was so great! She was responsive, warm, and very accommodating. Our animals clearly enjoyed their time with her and she was very attentive to them.”

About: Hey! I am a 21 year old student veterinary nurse, completing my apprenticeship at a local practice. I have been dog walking and sitting for people locally for around 5 years, caring for them before or after work. I studied A levels in Animal Management and have worked since then at a doggy day care centre caring for over 20 dogs at once, whilst also at a farm. I also have two cheeky terriers. Therefore, I am used to a lot of mischief! I also own a lovely cat and have done numerous cat sittings too, staying at the clients house :) it’s fair to say, my life revolves around these four legged creatures- including rabbits and guinea pigs too! I am working full time at the moment, however I work both early and late shifts. Therefore I am happy to visit/ walk your pet before work, or if I’m on a late shift; in the evening afterwards. I am also available some weekends to stay over if needed!:) I currently am not looking after animals in my house due to my naughty terriers being enough to handle by themselves! They aren’t the biggest fan of new friends! However, I am more than happy to visit or stay at your house when needed!

“Emily was our absolute assurance that Dottie Lou would be very well cared for during our absence. She sent us messages and photos for each visit which showed that our treasured little rescue kitty had found a new friend. We are so grateful to have found Emily … she’s wonderful!”

About: I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life. My dog sitting journey started in 2018 and I haven’t looked back since. Initially it started when my friend needed someone to look after her rescue dog when she went away for the weekend, 6 years later and he’s a regular! I am quite flexible but sometimes my availability will work around my current work schedule. I have several days off in the week and every other weekend off. I will always do a visit prior to the start of the dog sit/check in visit - this is to ensure the care I offer is best suited for myself, you and your pet

“Larissa is a lovely young woman who made fast friends with my cat, Flash. She followed my instructions to the letter, including sending us adorable photos and videos on a regular basis. We came back home to find a calm, happy, well-feed kitty. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Nadine is very friendly and helpful. Pippa loves her visits and is well looked after. We are regular users.”

About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember and have grown up around animals my whole life. I have many years of experience caring for cats and started looking after them from a young age. I also have my own dog, who is now 8 years old, so I’m very familiar with the daily care, exercise, attention and responsibility that dogs require. Because of this, I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved and relaxed while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s play, walks, feeding routines or simply providing companionship and reassurance. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m used to planning my day around the needs of pets, including feeding, walks, playtime and making sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. Since I have my own dog, I already follow a regular routine that includes walks and dedicated time for attention and exercise. I’m reliable with maintaining pets’ usual schedules and routines, as I know how important consistency is for them. I’m happy to fit visits, walks and check-ins around my day to make sure pets get the care and companionship they need. I provide pet care in the owner’s home so pets can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment while their owners are away. I make sure to follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks playtime, and any specific care instructions provided by the owner. I always take time to build trust with each pet so they feel safe and relaxed. I make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship and I keep their space clean and secure. I’m also happy to provide updates to owners for peace of mind while they’re away. Being in their own home helps reduce stress for pets and I aim to make sure they feel cared for, comfortable, and well looked after at all times.

About: I’ve taken family friend’s dogs on walks and love to have a good play session with them! I have two beautiful cats and worked in a zoo for a year so I understand the importance of making sure everything adheres to their schedule! I’m currently at university and on break! Until September I’ll be free anytime and will be able to do evening drop ins after then! I’m careful to ensure fenced environments are safe and that the area is safe and clean for your dog! I understand that pets have varying needs and will make a checklist for all your pets specific needs so you will know what time everything has been done!

About: I have had my family dog for 9 years and became an Animal Care Attendant at a Doggy Daycare 2 years ago. I have also looked after many other dogs for up to 3-week periods. I’m currently working casual flexible hours so will be available any time to look after your pups and I am happy to travel as I can drive. I can make my work hours fit around your schedule! I will only be offering sitting and boarding in your home as mine would not be suitable for a doggy guest and your dog’s safety is my top priority. This also means they can stay in their familiar environment!

About: I have owned cats all my life and have been cat sitting for a number of years for friends and relatives. I have also walked dogs and looked after them for family whenever they need. I’m currently working full time however I’m available in the afternoons/evenings during the week days and I am available all times throughout the weekends to look after your furry friends! I would ensure that when visiting a customers house the cat/dog is comfortable around me and will ensure they get lots of cuddles attention and walks. I would not let any animal out of my sight, unless the cats have a cat flap.

About: I love dogs and I am always outside walking with my sausage dog. I have been around dogs since I was little and have always loved them. I know how hard it can be to find care at weekends so I’d love to offer help! I work during the week as a pre school manager but am around to help over the weekends and during the week if you’re happy for me to be out at work! My dog is allowed everywhere, well and truly part of the family! I have a secure garden and access to lovely fields for walks. My dog if crate trained at night but happily roams in the day :)

About: I have been volunteering for Hearing Dogs Charity for over 5 years. I have raised, socialized and trained 2 of their dogs from the age of 8 weeks to 17 months. Recently I have been doing holiday cover for Hearing Dogs. I am currently working part time as a foreign language teacher and caring for a dog would fit perfectly my schedule. I am flexible for the dog walks or can pop into your house to visit your pet. I live in a lovely village surrounded by open countryside. There is number of nice walks I will take your dog on. Additionally I have a very big secure back garden.

“Lilly is a fantastic sitter. She made our dog feel comfortable and well cared for, and kept us updated throughout her visit. We will certainly book her again!”

About: I have had a family dog since 11 and have experience from puppy to adult. I also have 2 very fluffy cats, who love cuddles and I am very happy to meet their needy requirements! I absolutely love the outdoors and walking so would love for your doggy to come along with me too, or sit with them at home whilst I am working! The best colleagues have 4 legs! I am self-employed and love a change of scenery, so working alongside your pets will keep us both happy! I love to be around animals a lot more than people so I can't wait to sit for you and your pet! I will make sure your home is left just as you left it - making your return to your pet a pleasure as they will have had company to keep them happy but be thrilled to see you too!
