Cat Sitting North Kesteven

About: We are a family of 3 who love cats! I have always had cats and have even fostered up to 30 kittens at one time, in Alaska! I cat sat in Thailand for 9 gorgeous Siamese kitties, which was so fun! I also cat and dog sat for a family in Evedon when my son was a small baby. We have 1 family cat now who is a chunky all black girl named Koshka although Orion is desperate for a new kitten! I have experience with alot of different breeds and needs.

About: For the past year and a half I have worked professionally as a driver and daycare assistant in a busy doggy day care, this is where I received my Dog First Aid qualification and most of my professional experience caring for dogs. My responsibilities were extensive including walking and playing with the dogs as well as driving them to and from their homes at the beginning and end of the day. I have grown up in a pet filled household ever since I was born, not only did my own household have dogs and cats but my family and friends did also which I would often care for, walk and feed. As soon as I was stable enough to care for an animal myself I adopted my wonderful dog Popcorn, that was 6 years ago now and I can safely say it was the best decision I ever made, I have since fostered kittens and cats as well as taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family. I have also adopted a beautiful kitten named Pumpkin and she has become an amazing little outdoor cat. I find nothing more fulfilling than making an animals day! I am completely available for any of your pet car needs as this is my full-time occupation. I studied photography so cute pictures of your pet pending! I have lots of experience with different types of dogs with different needs! My home is a very loving one and I have done my best to make it the safest, most comfortable place for any animal to be in, my friendly fur babies will keep your pets company and I have a fenced garden so your pup can go to the toilet whenever they like safely!

About: Hi, I’m Sarah, an experienced and dedicated pet and house sitter with over 40 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. I’ve owned and cared for dogs of all sizes throughout my life, including showing Bullmastiffs and training dogs in both obedience and agility. I’m confident handling everything from energetic puppies to large, powerful breeds, always using calm, consistent, and positive methods. Alongside dogs, I’ve had over 30 years of experience with horses, from Shetlands through to high-level competition horses, so I’m very comfortable managing more complex care routines and responsibilities. Professionally, I hold a BTEC National Qualification in Small Animal Care, with additional certifications in veterinary nursing and dog grooming. I also have hands-on experience working in a busy boarding kennels and cattery, where I managed day-to-day operations, including caring for multiple animals and overseeing a small breeding programme. At home, I currently care for two lovely Cocker Spaniels, a cat, and a horse—so I truly understand how important it is to leave your animals and home in safe, capable hands. I specialise in house sitting, allowing your pets to stay relaxed in their familiar environment while you’re away. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to maintaining your pets’ normal routines. You can expect regular updates, photos, and complete peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your animals! Pet care is a central part of my daily life, not something I fit in around other commitments. I structure my days around the animals in my care, just as I do with my own pets at home. This means regular feeding times, consistent exercise, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I’m used to managing multiple animals with different needs, so following routines and keeping everything running smoothly comes naturally to me. Because of my lifestyle and experience, I’m able to offer a high level of flexibility and attention, whether that’s longer walks, more frequent check-ins, or simply being present to keep pets company and settled. Caring for animals has been part of my everyday routine for over 40 years, so it’s second nature to me to prioritise their wellbeing, comfort, and happiness at all times. A typical day with me is structured around your pet’s normal routine, as I believe consistency is key to keeping animals happy and relaxed while you’re away. Mornings usually start with feeding, fresh water, and a calm walk or turnout depending on your pet’s needs. I’m experienced with both high-energy dogs that need proper exercise and older pets who prefer a slower pace. Throughout the day, I provide companionship, playtime, and mental stimulation, as well as any specific care such as grooming, training reinforcement, or administering medication if required. Having worked with a wide range of animals, I’m confident reading behaviour and adjusting care to suit each individual. If you have multiple pets or more complex setups (including horses), I’m very comfortable managing different routines, feeding schedules, and environments. Evenings are kept calm and settled, with feeding, a final walk or check, and ensuring your pets are comfortable for the night. I will keep your home clean, tidy, and secure at all times, treating it with the same respect as my own. I’m also happy to carry out small household tasks such as watering plants or bringing in post. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away, knowing your pets are being cared for with experience, patience, and genuine affection.

About: After losing our dog not too long ago, I feel like there’s a massive gap in our lives and I would love to look after your fur babies, in the way we looked after ours. We have a 6 year old and a 4 year old so they would need to be good with children. I am excited to have all kinds of different breeds in our home that may help us decide what dog we would have join our loving family in the future. We are surrounded by fields as we live in a small village, which has just as many dogs as people in, we ( myself and the dogs) will often bump into other dog walkers so the dog would also need to be sociable with other dogs and humans. I am currently working part time, with only two days a week working 8-5 and I don’t work weekends. We have some plans at weekends like most family’s do, but when booking your pets in I will make sure that the weekend is fully dedicated to your pet. I have an enclosed garden, and live on a close, quite some distance from any main roads. Your dog will be crated if needed. I will do my best to accommodate your needs the best I can, please just ask. There are no other pets currently living with us just two small children.

About: I’ve had two dogs and 4 cats in my life. The dogs were black labradors I had with my parents one at a time and walked and looked after from puppy to senior. The first two cats we got one at a time as adults, while living at my parents. The second two we got as kittens together and are currently 1 year old while living with my wife. I have also had gerbils, rabbits, fish, horse and chickens while living at my parents. I also used to walk my Granddad’s black Labrador and have had experience with my Uncle’s Jack Russell and Brother-in-law’s Dashhound. I wake up, feed the cats check their water and clean the litter tray all before breakfast and dropping my wife to work. I currently work with schools so the holidays are free. I feed the cats their tea the same time we have tea in the afternoon and currently go for a play in the garden when it's cool in the evenings. I would check on your cats, have a bit of a play and make sure they have food, water and a clean litter tray. For a dog walk I would like to know your regular routine and would be happy with any kind of terrain or weather.

About: I grew up with lots of animals like a tiny farm and since going to university, I have missed it :( I always go to my family house where there is 5 cats, 2 goldens and 10 chickens and 1 rabbit. May sound like a lot but there is never a moment of boredom. I work in Boston, 8:30-17:00 Monday to Friday. Please take that into consideration when booking me as it doesn’t not let me edit my work schedule into the app. Anytime after 17:30, if you want your dog walking I would be happy too. I really enjoy going on walks with dogs. I have a fenced garden and love going on walks. Dogs and cats are allowed on furniture so they have many places to venture and relax :)

About: I’ve had a passion for animals since I was a little girl. Since graduating with an Hons degree in animal behaviour and welfare in 2021, I have been continuing to develop and share my skills within the animal industry, specifically for training and behaviour in Canines. My aim is to further use my skills and love for animals to care for beloved companions, for owners in need. Whether that be for the day; or longer-term care in their home while owners are away. I have a wide range of experience in handling, training and caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds and differing needs (medical or behavioural). Welcoming all owners and their companions to use my services. I previously worked 3+ years in a Uk canine rescue in there training and behaviour team. I am now going back to uni to further develop my skills through a master's degree in Clinical animal behaviour. My service availability extends across the week for pet sitting, with an understanding that companions being cared for, would need to be able to be left for a period of time during the days I'm at uni (Mon-Tue). Care provided would be based from the pets home. Keeping their home comforts around them while their owners are away. Day to day their routine would be based around their usual daily activities. I would be sure to include some enriching walks and activities to allow them to feel like they are having a holiday of their own.

“Catherine took good care of my cat Peanut! He was well fed and happy when we got back from our trip😄 Would definitely use her again in future!”

About: I have looked after dogs from puppy's to 14 years old, from Spaniels to terriers. From house sitting on my own to training. From long walks around the river to short walks. Even though I have a job it's really the animals I want to be around at all times. My job is not full time so therefore I have time to spend with animals of all sizes. I care for animals by providing food and water, enrichment, playtime, toilet time, walks, chill time. To health checking visually from a distant. Animals know who are animal people the moment they see you.

“Easy communication and took care of the cats, no issues at all and would speak to Ruby again to look after them if needed <3”

About: Me and my partner love having a dog or cat to take care of and give some love every now and then. I like to go on walks regularly and it’s nice to have the company whilst out and about. I will do my best to work around a schedule that works for you, so please get in touch so that we can discuss in more detail I am very happy to do any service that makes the owner and the pet most comfortable, whether that be at my house or their’s.

About: I have been a military dog handler for the RAF for the past 7 years. And have experience dealing with dogs of all sizes, breeds and temperaments. Pet sitting fits well into my schedule and I am able to accomodate last minute bookings when required. I can easily fit bookings into obscure times such as late evenings and weekends. I love to ensure that pets are happy and taken care of and feel safe in their own environment. I have a dog of my own who is quite difficult so I know the reassurance it gives me to have him looked after in his own house when I am away. And I want to make other pet owners feel the same so they can go on holidays or to work and not worry that their pet is unhappy or stressed. For clarity, my house sitting appointments cover short toilet walks. A longer walk will incur the normal charge on top. During house/dog sitting I will be at your house with your dog or cat for 90% of the time, with me occasionally popping out for refreshments and to run short errands or to check on my son.

“Exceptional care and consideration for both the pets and the owners wishes, at all time from Seren. Will be using again (and again and again)!”

About: My experience working with dogs is extensive, having had them as pets for 20 years of my life. At my childhood home we have 3 dogs and 1 cat in the house- so an absolute a madhouse! I have been relied on to walk, feed and bathe the dogs under my care and have house sat multiple friends and family pets. I specialise in the care of small-medium size dogs as this is where my experience lies but I would be happy to look after larger dogs if you don't mind the occasional foray onto google. I have also looked after a dog with epilepsy so i have experience giving regular and emergency medication when necessary. I have looked after 4 litters of puppies and a litter of kittens, toilet training them and teaching basic skills such as sit, fetch and return. We even had to bottle feed one litter of puppies as the mother was not producing milk so I understand the full time care and responsibility that owners require to keep their pets safe and happy. I work 8-5 during the weekdays, two of which I work from home so I have some flexibility when it comes to my schedule. However, I am fully available on weekends unless stated otherwise on my calendar. In my home dogs will be treated like part of the family, given lots of love hugs and attention but still discipline when needed. I like to provide each with a safe space using soft furnishings or a crate if possible so they can retreate of needed. Usually I will crate dogs at night or if I leave the house, which is not often. They are fed and walked (for at least 30 minutes) twice a day, once in the morning and once at night with their regular food. Water is, of course, constantly available and the back door to the garden is open whenever possible. Though I should note that I let dogs out at least once every 2 hours so they can do their business and if a garden is not available then I would take the dog out on the lead outside. In regards to discipline, I usually prefer the carrot over the stick, rewarding dogs when they have done well with first treats and later just a clicker or toy. However if punishment is necessary I would only ever tap the dog on the nose and state a firm no, hitting is never required. For example, if the dog has urinated in the house, I would sharply tap them on the nose, state no, putting their nose in their urine and then simply place them where they need to be - usually outside or on a toilet training area (e.g. newspaper). In regards to safety while walking, I would either use a harness or collar and a non-extendable lead. A dog would not be left off a lead until I have walked with them at least 5 times and built a relationship with them to avoid the dog running off or back home. I usually go to a green area nearby when walking the dogs and like to let them run around wherever possible in the garden, often leaving the door open so they can run in and out. I do of course recognise that all owners have different methods for providing a home for their furry pet so I would defer to whatever rules are already in place with whomever I am hired by.

About: I've looked after a wide variety of dog breeds and temperaments throughout my life. This included my own personal pets but also neighbours, friends and family. I'm highly reliable and pride myself on my duty of care. I am retired and I am able to provide care during the weekdays with a range of flexibility to provide care during the weekends too. I have a fully fenced garden as well as a completely secure property. Ample space within the property and the garden for pets to enjoy.

About: hello! i am based near Bourne and have just moved back from Sheffield where I was living after university. During my time at university, i felt lonely and homesick from all my animals back home so i downloaded Rover for some animal company and met the best furry friends ever! I have decided to keep the app whilst having moved from sheffield as I wish to continue my furry friend journey :) i do drive aswell which is a bonus! i work for BMW but have aspirations to become a primary school teacher one day and as much as I adore working with children, I love spending time with animals too! i work from 8:30am to 5:30pm everyday and have the weekends free which could be spent entertaining and looking after your furry child/children instead of scrolling through tiktok hehe i feel as the best person to trust with your pet would be someone who’s grown up on a mini farm around all sorts of animals. At my parent’s home i have 2 dogs, 5 cats and 4 sassy chickens (mine is called dora the eggsplora). I love walking the dogs at home through the countryside and changing the chicken run aswell as making sure all animals have food and water. these responsibilities never feel like chores!

About: 10 years of military dog training, animal first aid trained. Animal welfare consultant for several charities and public services, Puppy trainer and novice gun dog trainer I have spent most of my adult life working with animals mainly dogs, but have experience with cats and scary birds, it’s a passion for me Generally Entering into an Animals house for the first time is challenging for the Animal, by letting the animal come to you allows for the Animal To build trust

“Jordan was great and super flexible, we had come to stay from London with our 4 dogs and needed an adhoc walker/sitter for when we went for days out. Jordan was amazing with updates and pictures and a super friendly person! Thank you so much Jordan for all of your help! ❤️”
