About: Calm, patient, and reliable. Experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and nervous dogs, providing loving, attentive care while maintaining their routine and building trust for all. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule carefully so every visit gets plenty of time, attention, play, feeding, and lots of affection without being rushed. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my priority. I follow your pet's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if required), and plenty of affection. I keep homes tidy and secure, provide regular updates with photos, and make sure your pet feels relaxed, loved, and well cared for while you're away.

“Thank you Hannah for looking after Barney today. He loved his walk and having some company - and seemed much happier that he’d had someone to see him while we were out. An absolute pleasure to talk too. Great communication and clearly loves animals. We’d love to have you back very soon. Highly recommended!”

About: Ive always had a dog and I am also loved by cats, I love giving them attention and like it too. You're leaving your baby in safe hands coz when Im with pets they become my world. I feel I understand animals well, even though they can’t communicate in the same way we do—perhaps it’s my biologist’s instinct. I truly enjoy spending time with them and would be delighted to care for your beloved pets. As a PhD student, I have a self-managed schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to pet care. I also see this as more than just a side role—it’s something that brings me joy and a sense of calm, almost like therapy, while ensuring your pets feel safe, loved, and well looked after. As I have lived in the past in an area where wildlife is common, I always took extra precautions to keep pets safe, including ensuring they remain indoors after 6 PM, even for short strolls. I also carefully check the environment to remove any sharp or hazardous objects. Most importantly, I pay close attention to their behavior and cues, making sure they feel heard, understood, and comfortable at all times.

“We've used Larissa many times to look after Flash, our (we think) adorable tuxedo cat. We've found Larissa to be reliable, friendly, and affectionate towards our cat - who laps up the attention! She's also flexible and willing to go above and beyond the call of duty if need be. For example, we were experiencing delays with our return flight, and she happily remained on standby until she knew we were home with Flash. She's a lovely young woman and I can't recommend her highly enough.”

“Nobody could've taken better care of Barney than Liam! He left everything in perfect order. He cared for Barney as if she was his own. I can highly recommend Liam to anyone wanting a cat sitter. I don't think you can find anyone better. I would only leave Barney with someone trustworthy who would take great care of her. ”

“I’m usually reluctant to have anyone look after my dogs that I haven’t known for years but both Poppy and Teddy took to Esther immediately which eased my worries immediately. Esther was great and so clearly a dog person. I will have no hesitation in booking Esther again”

“Very professional. Sent lots of nice photos and videos and kept me informed throughout the day. Took the weather and time alone for Sandy into consideration. He was super calm and happy when I returned.”

“Had to leave for 2 weeks holiday. My cat was taken well care off and I received regular updates with photos on agreed dates. Would recommend.”

About: I’ve had the pleasure of growing up with dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities, giving me a wealth of experience and confidence in caring for them. Over the years, I’ve dedicated many hours to dog sitting and walking for friends and family, as well as taking on paid opportunities Currently I have almost full flexibility for walks, drop ins and house sits around Cambridgeshire before I relocate. Overnight house sits welcome with decent notice Unfortunately I cannot host pets at my own home. My main priority is to keep your pet safe and comfortable on walks and inside their home

About: I am 30, with three children and a little yorkie. I have grown up around dogs and other pets. My own dog is currently 6 and she's a ball of energy. I'm out on regular walks with her and we are always looking for new fur friends to come along too. Hosting dogs is good fun for us and we enjoy seeing them come and go. We also love visiting your pets to keep them happy. M dog doesnt always come with me on visits so let me know if you'd like her to come or stay at home :). I want to keep your animals as chilled out and in as normal a routine as possible. Walking and feeding with regular toilet times is of paramount importance to me with the obligatory play time of course! :)
