Cat Sitting Mid Devon

About: I am an experienced veterinarian from Turkey with 4 years of hands-on clinical practice in a busy pet clinic. I recently moved to the UK with my spouse, who is also a veterinarian. While I am currently improving my English to achieve my RCVS registration, my true passion remains caring for animals—and luckily, the language of love and care for pets is universal! In Turkey, my role as a clinician was incredibly comprehensive and hands-on. I didn't just work in the surgery or examination rooms; I provided full-service care, which included: In-home medical treatments and medication administration. Pet boarding management, ensuring all daily needs, feeding schedules, and long walks were perfectly met. Hygiene & Grooming: Experienced in professional bathing, nail trimming, and hair clipping. Behavior & Training: Thanks to my deep interest in animal behavior courses during my university years, I am well-versed in understanding pet psychology and providing basic training. I am looking for part-time pet care opportunities to stay connected to my lifelong profession while improving my English. While I am still building my confidence in human conversation, I completely understand the language of pets. Your furry family members will be in the safest, most professional hands possible! As I am currently managing a flexible schedule while focusing on my language studies, I have excellent availability for part-time pet care. Daycare & Boarding: Your pet will never be left alone. Our daily routine includes regular feeding intervals, multiple refreshing walks, and plenty of playtime. Active Engagement: Since I am home most of the day, I can strictly follow your pet's specific routine, text you regular updates, and send photos throughout the day. Your pet's health and safety are my absolute highest priorities. Coming from a professional veterinary background, I bring a level of clinical awareness that standard sitters cannot offer. I can easily spot early signs of stress or discomfort and manage strict medication schedules or special diets if needed. My home and neighborhood offer the ultimate environment for a pet's happiness: Massive Nearby Park: I live just a 4-minute walk away from a huge park, which is perfect for long, energetic walks and outdoor fun (you can check the park's map in my profile photos!). Secure Private Garden: My home features a secure, enclosed garden, providing an excellent and safe private play area where your dog can stretch their legs safely. Bad-Weather Indoor Play Area: Even if the UK weather turns rainy, your pet won't miss out on exercise. My house has a spacious, completely empty attic that I set up as a dedicated indoor play zone to keep them active and entertained. I handle every pet with the clinical responsibility of a veterinarian and the love of a true animal enthusiast. Your furry family members will be in the safest hands possible!

“It was great having Lauren! She gave a really professional service and our dogs were very happy indeed.”

“Katie looked after our cat Arty for a week whilst we were away on holiday and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. She took good care of him with lots of cuddles and gave me regular updates (with photos), so that I knew he was doing ok. Having Katie look after Arty massively reduced my anxiety about going away and was a much nicer option for him than going to the cattery. Thank you Katie!!”

“Jolie went out of her way to be helpful in setting up the schedule. I got back from holiday and Maisie (cat) was completely content, and the fish were looking great. You always feel a bit nervous when you go away, but Jolie has done a great job looking after my pets and I would gladly use her services again in the future.”

“Hannah was excellent, we felt very pleased with how she looked after our animals and would definitely like to book Hannah again. Highly recommend”

About: Hi! My name is Abbie. I have worked in the emergency services for over 7 years. However my passion has always been animals. I have had dogs for over ten years and currently have two dogs (Bear and Leo) who are both rescues and at times both come with their challenges 😂 I am a very outdoorsy person, I am forever trying to find new places to walk my pooches and explore. I am available to house sit, take your dogs out on big days out (with or without my pooches) or just popping in and spending some time with them. I’m looking forward to hearing from you 😊🐾 I work shift work but part of that is working from home so means I am available to pet sit. I have variable shifts but happy to chat and see what works best for everyone 😊 Me and my partner have a two bedroom house that I am currently renovating which is taking a lot longer than I thought it would 😂 I have a fenced small garden. I am able to care for animals in their own home or at mine if they get along with my two pooches.

“Rachael was fab, picked up the booking on short notice. Came to meet Rory the same night. Good communication and lots of photos throughout. Rory loved her and we would definitely book Rachael again in the future xx”

“Tim gave Cleo her medication, and fed her. He kept me up to date with photos and messages. Good communication before and during visits. Thank you Tim.”

Hannah M.

“Was really responsive when we needed a last minute sitter. Was really sweet and kind with Bella. Would definitely use again.”

About: I've always grown up living with animals (dogs, cats, rabbits, chinchillas, ducks, the list goes on!) in the family home and have often cared for friends and family pets whilst they’ve been away. We’ve had a variety of breeds as family pets over the years. To name a few: West Highland Terrier, Doberman, Labrador and most recently Labradoodles. We currently have 3 cats and two labradoodles living at the family home. I am available for walks evenings and weekends, I can also do long or short stays and happy to do a meet beforehand so that you feel fully comfortable with me & know your pet will be in safe hands. If your pet gets along with other dogs and cats, they are more than welcome to come and stay with me too. I work from home a lot Mon-Fri (I may have to nip out for the odd couple of hours for meetings), which means I can be around to give your pet all the love and attention they need. I get a 1hr lunch break so can walk / play with your pet. I understand it is a little daunting leaving your pet with someone you don't know, but I am more than happy to provide photos and updates whilst they’re within my care. I will always ensure your house and pets remain clean and tidy whilst you are away.

About: Hi, I've been a mum to furbabies for over 25 years and would like to offer the same mum experience to your pets while you're away from home. My Boston Terrier Griff, Frenchie Margot, and cats Riley & Rosa would stay at home with family while I was with yours. Having said that, Griff and Margot are always up for playdates if it were suitable to you I can be fully at home from Fri evening to Tuesday early morning. I may be able to book additional days as annual leave with 6 weeks or more notice I will ensure your pets have the same routine and service that they have with you so that they won't be disrupted or unsettled while you're away from home

About: Although I am at the beginning of my professional pet sitting journey, I have always loved animals and have cared for pets belonging to friends and family. Being around animals feels natural to me, and I am patient, calm, and attentive to their needs.

I have experience looking after both cats and dogs, including feeding them according to their routine, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs on walks, and giving them plenty of playtime and affection. With shy pets, I give them space and allow them to approach me at their own pace so they feel safe and comfortable. With energetic pets, I make sure they get enough exercise and engaging play to keep them happy and relaxed.

During walks, I stay alert and prioritize safety at all times. For home visits, I ensure your pet receives attention, care, and companionship; not just basic feeding. I can also follow specific instructions carefully, including dietary needs or simple medication if required.

I only accept vaccinated pets to maintain a healthy environment. My goal is to make your pet feel secure and loved while giving you peace of mind. We could chat and arrange a suitable time as I my schedule is fixable so it is adjustable after having a chat ! It won’t be hard for me to arrange something ! I am going to provide this in good detail after my account gets approved!! Although some of the things I provide while looking after pets is every 2 hour video updates day time amd I will provide any specific care the pets need !

“Our lab x springer, Lola LOVES Jude. He’s been fantastic with drop in visits and Lola is content when we get home. Definitely recommend!”

About: I’ve had pets within my home my whole life, not just dogs but a litter of kittens, hamsters, rabbits and Guinea pigs. I’ve helped friends and neighbours in Devon since I was about 14 with pet care. After working as a nanny in Brighton for 6 years I’ve moved back home to Devon to be nearer family. I am currently doing free lance photography and ad hoc nannying I have a large flat, my garden isn’t the biggest it’s a medium sized one but I live near the quay so there’s lots of lovely surrounding walks.

“Debbie was fantastic with Chewie while we were away! It was the first time we'd left her for more than a couple of nights - Debbie sent us lovely updates and images of her daily visit. Chewie was super happy to see us when we got home - but I could tell that she had been well loved and looked after while we were away! Would highly recommend Debbie to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life from having foster rescue dogs and 3 of our own growing up. I now have a 2 year old rottweiler who is my absolute world. Have experienced all breed and ages. We have a secure garden as well. I work from home so am around all day to care for pups for walks when needs be, play time and lots of cuddles 🥰 We have a fenced garden and can easily keep the dogs separate if needs be with separate rooms, upstairs and downstairs or a stair gate

About: I’ve taken care of two crazy black Labradors since I was 13 years old. I had so much fun teaching them tricks and taking them for swims in the sea. Now I’m at university I miss being around and caring for pets so much and the thing I looked forwards to most about going home is seeing them. I’m currently at Exeter University studying Medicine. Whilst the course is intense I don’t have many in person contact sessions or lectures and so I am able to schedule my studies so that I’ll have lots of free time to dog sitting /walking . In a pet owners home I will make sure I listen and follow any instructions that are given to me by the owner to ensure the safety of the pet.

About: I have had pets my whole life, with experience caring for family pets and working in a dog rescue. I have also done voluntary work in a veterinary practice. I also love small animals too including rats and mice 🐭! I strive to meet every single need of your pet when they are in my care! 🐶🐱🐾 From September, caring for your pets will be my full-time job. This means all my time will be dedicated in a career I love which is caring for your pets! I have a full DBS, qualifications and more than happy to give references to put your mind at ease! The safety of your pets and your home is my top priority! I will always secure your home at the best of my ability. I also will park my vehicle away from your home to prevent individuals knowing that the owners are not to home!
