Cat Sitting in Melton

About: Hi I'm Leanne, I'm a 33 year old postgraduate student who's dedicated to animal care with over a decade of experience in caring for cats, dogs and other pets including rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds etc. I have experience in looking after young, adult, senior and sick pets, administrating oral medication, following set routines and dog walking of various breeds. I have also volunteered for the RSPCA over the years and always look for opportunities related to animal care. I'm able to sit on short notice and as well as your pets being my priority, I would also treat your home with the upmost respect and provide regular updates on your furry friends with messages, pictures and videos :) I have owned cats and small pets myself, and I am my friends go-to when they need a pet sitter in a pinch! A written reference can be provided here on request. I have plenty of experience with dogs of various breeds, however only up to medium sizes and would not be comfortable walking overly large breeds. I would like to continue caring for animals as a regular pet sitter due to my love in looking after pets and keeping them company. It's something that brings me joy and I'd be happy to create good connections with animal care in my area. I'll also be gaining experience in doggy day care and grooming this autumn as a volunteer to further my skills, alongside canine CPR which I will add to my profile on completion. Aside from my love for animals I have recently completed a master's degree in English literature and creative writing and would like to pet sit around my further PhD studies commencing in October. I also enjoy reading, travel and photography. Additional notes: £15 minimum travel expenses may be added to the booking depending on distance. If more tasks are required than a standard pet sit, for example specialist care, this will incur an additional charge which can be discussed during an inquiry. I'm also happy to extend a booking if there's delays on your return if I'm available that day. This will add another £35 overnight rate to the total. I am currently available full time to pet sit, working remotely which fits perfectly around caring for your pets. I am able to give them as much attention as they need throughout the day and they are always my top priority. I always follow the owner's routine to ensure your pet doesn't suffer any stress whilst you are away. I make sure they are fed, have constant access to fresh water, treats and plenty of cuddles. If you have a garden I love to go out a few times a day and monitor when your dog needs the loo. I will walk your dog at least 30 minutes every day and follow any guidelines you have for routes and behaviour. I provide daily/twice daily updates for your peace of mind and make sure your home is tidy on your return.

“Isla was brilliant, happy to help at short notice, great communication, lovely nature with the animals and totally understanding of all their quirks. More than happy to recommend and use again!”

About: We (Hope, Left & Rachel, Right on the photo!) have been looking after all different shapes and sizes of dogs for the past 12 years and we absolutely love it! At our home, dogs are truly treated like royalty. During the week we both work from home, meaning that your dog will have constant company! The dogs are fed twice per day, both breakfast and dinner - we can also accommodate additional meals if needed. We walk the dogs in the morning and evening, so they are exercised for at least 90 minutes per day. On days where we have doggy daycare booked in, we take the dogs to a securely fenced dog agility field to ensure that they have full enrichment both mentally and physically. If your dog is boarding with us, we do this activity at least once per week - this is built into the cost already. During the weekend, we do one longer walk on both Saturday and Sunday mornings, combined with a variety of dog friendly activities in the afternoon such as dog friendly cafes and garden centres. We have a fenced garden which your dog would have constant access to through the dog flap. Our three little dogs love having company and will be there to help settle your dog in. Whilst they are all small breeds, they are used to a variety of dogs in the house such as Staffies, lurchers, cockerpoos, spaniels and other small breeds including chihuahuas. We also run a dog grooming business so we can cover any and all of your dog needs. If your dog is boarding with us and you would like to include a groom, please let us know and pricing is dependent on breed.

“Jonathan has been an absolute godsend! He’s amazing with my dogs, two of which are incredibly anxious, one hates strangers and he’s managed to win her over, now they’re best friends! Can’t express how much I appreciate him and recommend him to everyone. Thanks Jon”

About: We are a dog loving family, with over 10+ years of experience with dogs, from puppy to senior dogs. We take safety of your dog very seriously and will ensure your pooch relieve the care and attention they deserve. Me and my husband both work from home with flexible working hours so are able to provide plenty of cuddles and play time for your fur baby. We will treat the dog however you do at home and can provide as much potty breaks and walks as required. We have a 10 month old labradoodle called Nala who is very spoilt doggo, she can be excited when first meeting another dog but calms down after a short period. It's important to us that the dogs get along so would prefer to have a meet and greet for boarding and day care.

“David and Sally were amazing. They made us feel at ease straight away by taking the time to meet us and chewy prior to our departure. They kept us regularly updated whilst we were away, and even look after our garden as well. Top rate service that we will definitely be using again in the future. Thank you 😊”

About: Hi, I’m Zak! I’m a professional house sitter, pet sitter, and dog walker with 5 years of hands-on experience across Australia, New Zealand, and the UK—but animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with big huskies, so I know how much dogs love their walks and how important exercise and routine are for keeping them happy and healthy. I’m just as comfortable looking after cats too, whether they’re playful or more independent. I’ve also spent time in Greece working with sea turtle conservation—so caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy. Whether it’s regular dog walks, specialist care, or simply making sure your pets feel safe and settled while you’re away, I’ll treat them like my own. If you’re looking for someone reliable, experienced, and genuinely passionate about animals—I’d love to help. I work in clinical trials, which means I often have large blocks of free time between studies. This flexible schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of focused attention to pet care—whether it’s daily dog walks, feeding, or just keeping pets company. I’m used to adapting my routine to fit each pet’s specific needs and can easily accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening care. This makes pet sitting and dog walking a perfect fit for my lifestyle, allowing me to provide reliable, consistent care whenever it’s needed. I care for pets in their own home where they feel safest and most comfortable. I always stick to their usual routines—whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or quiet company. I make sure litter trays, food and water bowls, and sleeping areas are kept clean and comfortable. I’m also used to working with pets who need a bit of extra patience, like shy or nervous cats, and I’ll always give them space until they’re ready for attention. Every pet is different, and I adapt my care to suit their needs to help them feel relaxed and happy while you’re away.

About: I have owned pets my whole life including a dog (collie x), cats, horses, chickens, hamsters, rabbits and guinea pigs so am comfortable with all animals. I I am currently a vet student on placement so am generally available on weekends and evenings. I can potentially do the odd day in the week I will happily spend quality time with any pet like they are my own whether that is play time or just some chilled company. Happy to follow specific instructions.

“INCREDIBLE! Katherine has been the best cat sitter we have ever had. She even stayed longer than she should have everyday to make sure the kittens got enough time around humans / connection and play time. She sent us photos and videos everyday with updates and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Katherine! Would highly recommend!”

Also an excellent treat giver. ~Will clean bowls and litter trays as necessary. ~ Can administer oral medication ~Loves to play and gives amazing fusses. ~Will send daily updates. ~Very careful and respectful towards pets and their owners.

About: I have just completed my undergraduate degree in social work. I have grown up with dogs and cats all my life and looking after them is now just second nature to me. Back at home I have three dogs, Two Jack Russells and Border Collie cross; a very busy household!

About: I have grown up on the farm surrounded with cats, dogs, chicken, goose and other farm animals since I was little. Cats and other pets are best companions. I have got two cats Luna and Sansa. I work during day time so could drop in to feed cats before or after work. If preferred, can do both- in the morning and evening. I would prefer to look after the pets at owner's house as not sure how my cats react if it would be at my place. DBS (previously known as CRB) checked. I could make visits before or after my work or both if required. I am off work weekends. If not sure, welcome to ask any questions. As there are two cats in my own house and unsure of their reaction on new pets in the house, would prefer to look after in cats owners house.

“Clare has done an excellent job with taking care of our Riley! She even took it upon herself to give him a bath (checking with us first to make sure it was ok and what shampoo to use) after he found something (!) extra smelly to roll in! Thank you, Clare!!”
