Pet Sitting in North Norfolk

About: Pet Care Experience As a family, dogs have always been part of our home. We've grown up surrounded by dogs and know first hand how much love, patience, and attention they need to feel safe and happy. From bouncy puppies who need extra playtime and training, to senior dogs who need a gentler pace and special care, we are confident and experienced in meeting each dog’s unique needs. We are comfortable with administering medication, maintaining routines, and providing plenty of cuddles in between. Your dog will join our family for their stay. We have two children who are experienced and confident with dogs as well as our own black labrador Dobby! We treat every dog like they’re part of our family. Your pup won’t just be looked after – they’ll be loved, walked, and made to feel right at home. We focus on creating a calm, safe environment while also making sure there’s lots of fun, enrichment, and exercise. Whether it’s reinforcing puppy training, giving extra patience to anxious dogs, or making senior pups feel comfortable, we tailor our care to each dog’s personality and needs. We’re lucky to have flexible roles and mostly work from home, which means your dog will rarely be left alone. Our days easily revolve around walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddle breaks. Because we’re home throughout the day, we can stick closely to your dog’s usual routine—whether that’s regular potty breaks, meal times, or just keeping them company so they feel relaxed and cared for. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always our top priorities. At home, we have a large, grassed garden that’s perfect for playtime and exploring in a secure space. We live in a peaceful rural setting, just a short walk from the beach, so dogs enjoy plenty of fresh air, safe walks, and lots of opportunities to sniff, run, and relax. Inside the home, pets are treated like part of the family—never left out, always supervised, and free to enjoy a calm, welcoming environment. We make sure every dog settles in at their own pace and follow their usual routines to help them feel secure and happy.

“Maya is friendly and seems very happy to pop in and look after our two bengals. They loved her, she played with them and sat with them for a while each visit, they were happy cats when we returned. We were all very reassured by Maya’s relaxed and confident approach, we were happy to leave the cats in her care.”

About: I began pet sitting in 2019 within rural Norfolk. Shortly after, I moved to the coastal town of Matlaske where I began to develop my services and provide people & their pets with the service of having beach walks readily on hand whilst their pet came to stay with me. I offer a friendly, family centered service which is tailored to meet the individual needs of each pet family and their people requesting care. I aim to provide the very best quality and care, whilst ensuring your pet is the happiest it has been whilst away from you. In addition to this, I have several qualifications which have developed my knowledge bank in caring for canine and feline pets. These qualifications include Level 2 City & Guilds Diploma in Animal Management, Level 2 City & Guilds Dog Walker, Lv 3 City & Guilds Pet Sitter trained, and have various hours of CPD which include pet nutrition, pet behaviour and pet enrichment. I have also worked several years within a vet practice, and undertook my Level 3 Canine First aid qualification with Ipet, so I understand perfectly how to care for your pet in any given situation. I have successfully show, worked and cared for a variety of breeds ranging from working cocker spaniels to giant breeds such as the Great Dane. I work from home as a freelance Groom and Pet Service provider. I am readily available for your pets needs and husbandry requirements. Your pet shall never be left for more than 3 hours, and will have my upmost care and attention always. Updates given on request and previous references can be provided. I offer Pet sitting and Home Boarding to any client who is interested in pet services. I tailor each service to the pet and their people's requirements based on our previous communication and meet & greet values.

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: I’m a gentle and loving character towards all dogs. I love going on walks and am happy to adjust this depending on the dogs needs. I am confident in providing medications if needed and can follow instructions well for any more complicated prescriptions. I currently work remotely from home, so will be around to keep your dog company throughout the day and to go on walks over lunch and at the end of the day! I am confident around dogs of all sizes and adept to their needs, recognising when they need to go outside and if they are not eating as expected.

I ensure a familiar environment by adhering to the pet's established routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, exercise routines, and any special needs or preferences. I maintain open communication with the owner, providing regular updates on their pet's well-being and activities to build trust and reassurance. I respect the home and belongings of the owner, keeping the environment clean and tidy throughout my stay.

By focusing on the pet owner's home, I aim to provide a seamless and stress-free experience for both the pet and the owner.

About: Growing up with trained labradors has taught me lots about caring for dogs. As well behaved as they are, you will find them lounging on sofas and beds, living life comfortably. I know how to look after dogs of all ages. Currently, I work part-time as a lifeguard near where I live. I am able to walk dogs twice a day, feed whenever necessary and keep them company. My garden is large and fenced. Two friendly black labradors live inside and will welcome any other dog immediately. I have a crate too, if that is what you wish for!

“Lily was amazing! She stayed in touch and her updates had lots of detail about the well being of Max and sent some great pics to show me that my boy was ok. I can not recommend Lily highly enough and will definitely be using her again.”

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 (no overnights sorry) and drop in visits to look after your pet and make sure they are comfortable, safe and happy whilst you’re away. My drop ins are 30 minutes. If you need a whole day but not overnight please pop me a message! Happy to offer house calls, walks and house sitting for both dogs and cats. Please note: I don’t stay over in peoples houses so please don’t book overnight bookings. I love all animals and look forward to helping you out with yours 😃

About: Fully Qualified in pet sitting and dog walking. Full DBS has been completed. I have had previous experience working in a Boarding Kennels. I have had several Dogs myself of many different breeds. I also used to train Greyhounds and Whippets within the Racing environment. I set up the business to continue my love of working with animals. But mainly to provide a service that allows Clients to ensure their pets are well looked after when other commitments call. I know how close to us our pets are so clear communication with my Clients on how their pet is doing would be key. I set up Bark 4 the Lead at the beginning of 2024. This is my full time Job so the pets that are boarded here have my full attention throughout the day and night. I offer dog walking which I complete in the morning for a couple of my Clients. I live in a very quiet area down a service track. The property is fenced in with no other pets in the household. I recommend clients to visit with their pets prior to booking so they feel comfortable and reassured.

About: I've been around dogs since I was born, older dogs and puppies, so I am comfortable with dogs of any age and most sizes! I love getting out in any weather for walks, and am comfortable taking more energetic dogs for longer walks if required. I also have some experience pet sitting dogs who require medication and am comfortable with doing so if needed. I currently work for the National Trust along the North Norfolk coast. I have previously worked as a marine biologist for various charities where I have experience in wild animal handling, so I am fairly confident in looking after most pets. I'm an early riser and enjoy walking in the morning and would welcome a walking companion! My fiancée (who would also be helping dogsit) is also a dog lover. Jess has grown up with dogs as pets, and also worked at her uncles dog kennels - so has plenty of experience with lots of different dogs! (Jess is also on Rover as a verified sitter). I am very careful about the environment I would introduce a dog to and make sure they are comfortable, calm and don't feel overwhelmed. I have a large garden, but have lots of walks just nearby too. I think having a dogs trust is vital so I always like to meet a dog before a stay if possible and allow them to approach me at their own pace without stressing them out.

“Thank you very much for helping out with Red. He seems very happy to let you into his home whilst I was away. You have been an absolute pleasure to have letting Red out and providing him with some love and attention many thanks”

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).
