“We approached Rover at short notice, when a previous arrangement fell through. We were able to enjoy Latitude without worrying for our rather needy elderly cat. We were reassured with updates and pictures. Many thanks Elizabeth”

“Imogen was fantastic with my little cat Gregory. She kept me updated on how he was doing my sending me regular pictures and messages. She stayed at my home and kept it lovely and clean for me. I would highly recommend her for any pet sitting duties.”

About: I've grown up around animals from lambs and chickens to dogs and cats. I've also done dog walking for friends and family. Cared for dogs in animal shelters and adoption fairs. I've learnt husbandry care through my current degree in animal science and am constantly in close contact helping dogs into their harnesses and finding treats they enjoy at work in a pet store. I currently work part time and attend uni on Mondays + Tuesdays. Therefore Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays I'm unavailable for the first half of the day but happy to care for your pets in the afternoons as well as mornings during the rest of the week. As my calander follows term times I will be much more available during school holidays. So please don't put of reaching out just to check as I personally know how stressful it can be finding someone during holidays to look after your pet. I want to make you as the owner feel confident and secure and so will require information no matter the service I'll be providing in order to make sure we're all comfortable. Any rules, health issues or precautions that I may need to know I'll ask for and follow securely as no owner wants to worry about their pet or the person looking after them. I'm also more than happy to take photos and update you whenever they're in my care.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life - currently I have two collies and a pug. Due to this I have extensive knowledge and looking after dogs comes naturally to me such as adequate water top ups, toilet breaks, cuddle sessions, walks, etc. One of my collies is blind and diabetic so I have experience with special needs animals. I am also skilled in administering medication - she is on injectable insulin so I can administer medication through injections with no problem. My other collie has arthritis so I’m also capable to giving tablet form also even if they’re fussy! I also have experience with live in pet sitting having done two years of a couple of two week long live ins for a family friend with French bulldogs. This included feeding, adequate water top ups, walks, playing with, cuddling, cleaning up behind them, and much more! Additionally I’ve puppy sat and been a live in sitter for four weeks from newborn to older stages. This also included a puppy that needed hand feeding. During this I changed the pads, kept the puppies clean and safe, helped mum have free time and feed the pups, giving mum toilet breaks and food and water etc when needed. Additionally at the end of my stay as a perk for the family I made sure to clean their house to the highest standard - I always make sure to leave a place spotless after staying there so you can be sure you’ll come home to happy pets and a clean and tidy home! I currently do not have a job and am home for summer during university - I will be going back to uni on the first week of September where I will have uni twice a week but no more. Because of this I am completely available at the moment! I can do this 7 days a week. I will follow an exact routine should you like to give one. You may make any requests for your animal including how many times they need feeding, walking, cleaning or washing. I’l always ensure a clean and topped up water bowl with fresh cold water and make sure to mop up any spillages, as well as cleaning food bowls after every meal. If you don’t wish to give a routine that’s absolutely fine I will follow your basics and provide fun filled days for your animals based on their energy levels. Food will always be given correctly based on the food manufacturers suggestion for your pet and/or how you like them to be fed. I like to keep dogs leashed during walks as I believe this keeps them safe - however if I find somewhere safe for them to be let off or you can provide evidence of fantastic recall I am happy to take them off leash.

“Lily is great. Polite and friendly. Provides updates and is very thorough :)”

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, ensuring they are well-fed, exercised, and comfortable. I’ve looked after a variety of breeds and temperaments, tailoring my approach to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s taking dogs on regular walks, playing with them, or maintaining a clean litter area for cats, I always prioritize their health, happiness, and safety. I’m also attentive to any signs of illness or distress and know when to seek veterinary help. I currently work full time in a school so I would therefore need this to work around my main job. At present I am off for the school holidays and have lots of flexibility however as of the 1st September I will return to work. Monday to Friday I work from 8:45 until 15:45 with two to three later finishes a week, normally no later then 16:00-16:30. On Fridays I finish at 15:30. Weekends I do not work so therefore have more flexibility. Depending on the animal I would like to meet with pet owners at there house to ensure their home and garden is safe and secure enough for me to feel comfortable to take care of their pet.

About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs from an early age. From getting my first rescue cat at the age of 4, to helping care for my Labradors litter of puppies and former Golden Doodle - until sadly I moved from my grandparents home, to which I heavily miss having a furry friend around! I’m currently working full time office hours, on a Monday to Friday basis. I would be available for pet care in the evenings, but completely available over the Friday to Sunday period. I have a large high fenced grass garden, with gated entry from our own private drive way. I live in a quiet and isolated housing estate, with only 11 other homes close by. Living rurally allows an excellent environment to window stare for cats and a lovely scenery with large areas far from the quiet roads for walks. I live in a 3 bedroom semi detached home, so there is plenty of space for your furry companions to be comfortable and have their own space if needed.

About: My experience is varied: I have lived with dogs at different times when sharing accommodation (and helped with walks, pets and sometimes even training). When I set out as a nomad in 2019 I volunteered in a dog shelter (about 30-40 dogs, some on wheelchairs) and towards the end of 2020 I started doing pet sitting, the first one was planned to be 1 month and ended as 4!. It's been incredible: I have since sat for many different dogs, from a bark-y Border Collie afraid of loud noises to a super smart rescue mutt, from a Miniature Pinscher to a gentle giant and a Rhodesian Ridgeback "puppy". Some well trained, some unruly, some older, some younger and some that I was given the pleasure to do some training with, especially for pulling on the lead (she made lots of progress, we both did, as it was a learning curve for me too). I have done pet sitting for cats at times, the most memorable was the one pictured in the photos, he was free to roam and one day came back with quite the nasty injury but we got it to heal and close up within a short time, with lots of care and attention (and dashing at doors so he would not escape during the healing process!). The owner was surprised to see him cuddling with me as he doesn't like most humans, so I like to think he knew I wasn't keeping him a prisoner for no reason. I have also fed fishes, a snake and an iguana, and watered plants of course =) I freelance and work from home, which makes my schedule incredibly flexible. Weekdays, weekends, it's all mixed together and adaptable, so just tell me your pet needs and we'll work around them. For hobbies, I like to play board games, read a book, do a puzzle or watch something online. All pretty relaxed :) I also play the ukulele (though some sound sensitive dogs have meant pausing practice while sitting, eheh). With pets, and especially dogs, it's important to be consistent. They thrive on their routines. I would aim to learn what your daily activites look like (walks, feeding, play time, etc.) and match them. I can also help with a little bit of traning if needed or welcomed. I have several experiences with anxious dogs (either anxious towards people, towards other dogs or both) and know how to handle encounters with others during walks. All my sits so far have gone very smoothly and the dogs/cats and I have bonded every time. I can provide a link to some reviews on other platforms until I have built some here.

“Really lovely and friendly - both my cats were looked after well, and got photo updates regularly! Would highly recommend and would definitely be my top choice!”

About: I have grown up with pets from a very young age, coming from an animal loving family I have always been around and loved animals. My first pet was a hamster and I also had cats and dogs growing up. Currently I have a cat called Bagheera I got him when he was a kitten and he is turning 8 this year. He is an extremely nervous cat and having him has taught me a lot about the unique personalities of our pets and their needs. I have looked after neighbours and friends pets and I am always excited to spend time with them. I offer a variety of walk durations and can adapt to your dog's individual needs. I'm a great fit for dogs who enjoy exploring Cromer and the surrounding beaches and parks, or who prefer a more relaxed pace. As a pet owner I understand how much they mean to you, and I am dedicated to provide the care and attention they need and make their wellbeing and safety a priority. I'm currently working full time Monday to Friday however I am only in the office 3 days a week and my hours are flexible. I am also available during the weekends and bank holidays. Whether looking after your pet at home or taking them out for a walk I will ensure that they are safe and be mindful of their individual needs. I will also ensure to maintain good communication of your pets behaviour and well-being. I am a very organised person and maintaining a clean and tidy environment comes naturally to me.

About: Dogs and cats have always been part of my life.Long walks On the Heath in all weathers ,lazy naps in the garden sleeping next to woodburner in the winter. All needs prioritised. Puppy toilet training, up to senior care. Privileged to look after part of your family I’m am retired and have my days filled with walks and relaxing at home and looking after pets. Tayloring care for each individual pet so they have the best time and happy to return with wagging tails I have a small fenced garden and live close to several parks, a lake , the Broads and the Heath . I enjoy long local walks and driving to the beach for walks. My home is quiet and relaxing sunny garden and warm wood burner in winter. I am excited about and enjoy looking after pets in my own home and also happy to look after your beloved pet in your own home if it is preferable.

“Megan was great with our cat Byron while we were away. She is really friendly, very reliable and came round to meet Byron before we went away despite it being very short notice. She kept us regularly up to date with photos, videos and notes after each visit and my cat looked very happy and well looked after while she was there. I’d definitely recommend her for cat sitting and would happily book her again next time we go away. Thanks Megan! 😊”

About: I have been raised with dogs, horses, cats, budgies, hamsters and more! I have been around multiple breeds of dogs since I was young, including collies, labradors, miniature schnauzers, jack russell's… the list goes on 😝 Agility is one of my most favourite things to do - I used to help at the puppy training classes and agility classes so can assist with keeping your pup entertained. 🐶 I have also had horses for a very long time - and although that doesn’t compare to owning and loving doggies, horses are practically big dogs! I have also worked at a veterinary practice for 2 years where I was an animal care assistant. This has helped in being able to give medication confidently, spot when something is wrong, knowledge of medical conditions, harm free restraining, and also how to give the best cuddles 🥰 I got 3 distinction *’s in my animal care course at college where I was around numerous species of animals full time. Throughout this time, I also volunteered at an animal sanctuary 2 days a week for 2 years. I also have a qualification in animal CPR and first aid. ⛑️ I currently work full time, Monday - Friday, 9am - 5pm, but can work from home 2 / 3 days a week. I am pretty flexible during my lunch breaks, before and after work! Weekends are also very free! :) I am very adaptable in terms of caring for your furry friends. At home, my dogs get regular supervised toilet breaks, snack and meal times. The same will apply to any dog that is under my care, whether in my house or someone else’s. I am very respectful of certain rules and instructions that are given to me 😊

“Jez was kind enough to look after my rambunctious devon rex kitten over the holidays and I could not be happier with how it went. Lots of communication and updates. I knew Cherry was in good hands!”

About: Grown up with a variety of pets and have over 15 years experience with dogs, cats, horses, etc, studied equine management at Easton College and love all animals with a passion. I am active and love to get out in nature. I have no children and no pets currently due to long working hours mid week so generally only offer boarding weekends. I would love to meet furry friends and guarantee they will get plenty of cuddles and walks. We are a smoke free home and pets will be welcome on furniture & beds. I work long hours midweek so generally only offer boarding weekend. I do have some flexibility with working from home days so please pop me a message and I will help where I can. I can provide dog walking services locally any evening of the week. I have an enclosed garden your pets can roam freely in and they will be welcome in all areas/rooms of the house. I can accommodate more than one pet but will not accept multiple bookings from different households on the same date.

About: I've grown up with dogs + fish. Now I've had 2 beautiful cats for the last 3 years. My partner, who will also help, has grown up with cats/dogs/chickens and more! Between the 2 of us we have 2 dogs and 3 cats currently. I work from home full time in the golden triangle so can easily pop out to check in on pups or kittens😺. My partner works from her salon Tuesday - Friday in fakenham so she can also provide services there if need be. We have a big car so taking big dogs out for a great walk is easy to do! My garden is fenced but only 3ft. Therefore they can use it for toilets etc with me supervising but I'd aim to take your dogs out for nice walks (if they are able to).

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was 11, and had cats around my whole life. I am an animal lover and I love meeting new cats and dogs. I work for an animal charity. 🐾 I work from home Monday - Thursday and have a flexible diary. I can offer dog walks, pet sitting at your house and drop in visits to look after your pet and make sure they are comfortable, safe and happy whilst you’re away. Happy to offer house calls, walks and house sitting for both dogs and cats. I love all animals and look forward to helping you out with yours 😃

“Highly recommend. Monique was good at keeping us updated with Lucy while we were away. Came back to a tidy house. Very considerate to both Lucy and the house. Fantastic!”
