Pet Sitting North Somerset

“Gillian is a godsend, she looked after our puppy whilst we were on holiday at a music festival - nothing was too much trouble, not only did she visit and take good care of her, but she went over and above, agreeing to extra visits at the last minute and even turned down the heating when we accidentally left the house a bit too hot for our pup. Cannot recommend her highly enough.”

“Ashleigh did an amazing job with Pops. She came to meet him beforehand which allowed Pops to get to know her a bit. This was really helpful and gave me an opportunity to explain his little sausage dog ways. She also let me know how he was doing while she was there and sent pictures which I really appreciated. Thanks so much Ashleigh. Really hoping Pops gets to see you again soon 😊”

About: Hello! My name is Olivia, and I’m a 24-year-old final year postgraduate vet student. I grew up just outside Arbroath, a small fishing village in the north of Scotland, surrounded by animals - from dogs and chickens to two farm kittens we rescued from a barn. I have lots of experience caring for a wide range of animals, both at home and abroad. This includes volunteering at a rescue centre in Costa Rica and on a game reserve in South Africa. Closer to home, I’ve regularly looked after pets for family and friends. (Full disclosure: I now stick to care rather than grooming after a childhood attempt at trimming my uncle’s spaniel’s ears left her with a very lopsided haircut!) Alongside my studies, I also work as a lifeguard, which has strengthened my ability to stay calm in emergencies and prioritise safety at all times. When visiting my family, I care for our very needy Vizsla, Scout, and our more independent and aloof rescue cat, Lunar. Through my veterinary training, I’ve also gained hands-on experience caring for animals with a variety of medical needs, including those who are unwell or require extra attention. I'm very active and enjoy running and long walks, so I’m always happy to take energetic dogs out for adventures. Equally, I enjoy quieter days painting and can provide a calm, relaxed environment for more anxious pets. I’m currently available for dog walking and pet sitting between my clinical rotations. I’m also confident administering medications, including injections, if required. I’m currently in my final year of vet school, so during breaks between rotation blocks I can dedicate my time fully to your pet. My schedule can vary, which means I’m often able to offer flexible, ad hoc bookings, including short-notice requests where availability allows. I’m very outdoorsy and enjoy running, so I’m always happy to take high-energy dogs out for longer walks or runs. I’m also happy to work around your pet’s usual routine, whether that’s early mornings, evenings, or specific feeding and medication schedules. I can provide regular updates for peace of mind while you’re away. I currently offer pet care in your home and dog walking, as I’m unable to host pets in my own home. I find that staying in a pet’s familiar environment often helps them feel more relaxed and settled while you’re away. As a final-year veterinary student, your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. I’m confident recognising signs of illness or distress and can act quickly if anything seems off. I’m also experienced in administering medications, including injections, where needed. I take care to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, exercise, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m respectful of your home and will always leave it clean and secure. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you can feel reassured that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Wow! Carrie was so brilliant! She’s so lovely and was able to help us out last minute after being let down by someone else. She cared for our Leo so well and sent regular updates and pictures, which made us feel so at ease. She went above and beyond to make Leo’s care perfect. We would absolutely highly recommend her and book with her again!”

About: Hi, I’m Catharine, a Lancashire lass now living in Weston-super-Mare with my partner, Tom. We’re both huge animal lovers and would love to look after your pet 🐾 We live in a detached house with a secure, fully fenced garden, and because we both work from home, your pet will have plenty of company, attention, and cuddles throughout the day. We don’t currently have pets (or children!) of our own as we’re still settling into our first home after recently moving. We’d love a pet of our own one day, but for now we’re more than happy being the people friends and family call when they need someone to look after theirs. We genuinely love having animals around the house. I’ve been animal mad for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always surrounded by dogs and cats, but my soul dog, Sandie, was extra special. He lived to the amazing age of 19 and was a huge part of my family. We had an especially close bond in his senior years when he became less mobile and relied on me a lot for comfort. Caring for him taught me so much about patience, empathy, and understanding an animal’s individual needs. I’ve done obedience training and even dog dancing with one of my previous dogs, so I’m comfortable with all sorts of personalities, routines, and energy levels. Our home is very peaceful, and we do our best to make every pet feel relaxed and safe. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing in the garden, or snoozing on the sofa after a busy day, they’ll get plenty of love and attention while they’re with us. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I promise to care for them as if they were my own and to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well looked after from the moment they arrive. Please don’t hesitate to message me if you have questions :) I can adapt to your dog’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. I work from home and can be quite flexible with my work. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they have a safe, calm and comfortable environment where they feel part of the family. We have a secure garden for supervised outdoor time, and dogs will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime and walks throughout the day. I always follow owners’ routines and preferences to help pets feel settled and at home.

“We returned once again to a happy cat and clean environment, which is saying something, as our elderly cat has become somewhat unreliable in her toileting habits .. Would recommend Anne wholeheartedly.”

“Christine did a drop in visit for our dog, really good communication dropped me a message when she arrived and left and even came round to visit him before the visit. Felt very reassured, would use again :)”

About: Hellooo I’m Phoebe, I’m a qualified veterinary surgeon and starting a new role which means I’ll have some days off during the week and weekend. I grew up at a child minders who also had a pet sitting service, so from a young age have looked after anything from hamsters and tortoises to large-breed dogs. I have my own dog and tortoise who I adore! As a vet, I’m comfortable with giving medications at home and following your pet’s routine as closely as possible! I have an attention to detail and am more than happy to give you regular updates and photos. I’ve been working as a vet now for 2 years and starting a new role this summer! I have my own tortoise and dog who I adore. In my new role at work my shifts are constantly changing, which means available dates are not regular. But we can have a chat about what you and your pet need and work out a plan from there! On weekdays I can possibly do drop ins before and after work for cats, so just drop me a message to check dates that aren’t available on my calendar. I believe all pets are different in terms of what they need when their pet parents are away or busy. Sometimes this is a change of environment and other times it’s home stays. Unfortunately since I am in rented accommodation I cannot provide overnight stays, but I can walk dogs and do drop ins for a variety of pets. I can also house sit during the day. Due to my own pet responsibilities, overnight house sitting is not ideal.

About: My first pet was a cat when i was 7 and it lived 21 years. I have always loved pets and now have a 4 year old Tibetan Terrier who is great around other dogs. A hamster and often look after neighbours dogs as well. I work from home and there is always someone in to keep your pet company. I walk my dog every lunchtime down the strawberry line or in the fields so they are well exercised. I have a fairly large house with a walled garden and wooden floors downstairs. I also have a friendly 4yr Tibetan terrier for company. There are dog beds and a sofa with blankets on.

About: Hi - I’m new here on Rover, but I’m certainly not new to dog walking and animal care ! I am a fourth year vet student with a special interest in dogs, cats and all our other small furry, fluffy and feathery friends! I have experience with dog walking having spent a year as a Cinnamon Trust Volunteer. Alongside this volunteering, I have spent extensive time in animal rescues, including employment at Romney House Cat Rescue Centre, and experience at Brighton RSPCA, and Foal Farm Animal Rescue Centre. I also volunteer regularly for street vet, a charity that provides medical care and supplies to homeless individuals and their pets across Bristol. Alongside my degree I have completed a total of 20 weeks in vet surgery’s across the country. This has left me with a strong grasp of animal first aid that will allow me to ensure your pet is both happy and healthy when with me. I am fond of all creatures great and small, and also have experience working on yards, dairy farms and lambing. I would love to walk your dog on any agreed time outside of my University hours. This includes - before 9am or after 5pm during the weekdays and any time on the weekends. I can also offer lunch time walks on Wednesday from 1pm onwards. Being one year away from a qualified vet means I have a solid understanding of animal health, wellbeing and happiness. I will use this knowledge to ensure me and your pet always have the best and safest time when together.

“Kirsten was very nice and looked after the cats very well 😁 🐈‍⬛ 🐈‍⬛”

About: I’m an excellent cuddle giver- dogs mainly ;) and an expert treat giver! My best friend’s are my cocker spaniel (3) called Sam, and my springier spaniel (7) called Gleann, I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember! I find walking so rewarding and relaxing, it brings me joy to get out in nature and explore the world. I’m happy to walk or look after your little pups either alongside my dogs or if you request I can walk them without. I’m currently working full time for a local sign company, working in Clevedon and I live in Weston-Super-Mare. However in a few months I’ll be moving to Yatton- not too far away! I have a medium fenced garden and have a full uk drivers license, with room for furry friends to sit for the walks if you’d prefer rather than a street walk, but I’m happy if you’re happy.

About: Since a young age both Fra and myself have cared for animals. We both had cats and dogs in our homes since birth and have looked after them with utmost care and attention. In our adult years we have taken house sitting seriously and have cared for several homes and a variety of pets. From dogs and cats, to lizards, frogs and guineapigs, we've cared for them all. Pet care takes priority when it comes to our weekly routines. We have various jobs and hobbies, yet we are very flexible and can usually cater to the needs of the animals are the requests of the pet owner. We always take the pets care requirements into consideration. Most pets will require different attention and we make sure to provide what is required. Whether it's walking, feeding, washing or general health care, we have the experience and understanding to provide great pet care.

About: ✅Enhanced DBS Accomplished dog carer looking for more 4 legged friends! I am a genuine animal lover… I have had four large dogs within my family which I still occasionally care for. In recent years I have house sat and walked a range of dogs from small to larger breeds. I have a good amount of experience with nervous and anxious dogs and I have worked with five rescues personally on a regular basis. I am particularly experienced with sighthounds, cockapoos, and chihuahuas. I have a general passion for animals and enjoy working and donating to a range of charities. I would treat any dog or cat like its my own with plenty of love and attention to give. I am happy to meet the requirements no matter how big or small to give you and your pet what they need. I am self employed so therefore I can be flexible with my schedule. My partner is normally on hand to help if required and give extra attention to any pets under my care. I can offer sitting at my home with a large secure garden. I can offer local walks to your dog but I also enjoy the outdoors and can offer a change of scenery if suitable. I am also available to pet sit at your home if your pet is more comfortable in their own environment and I would treat your home with the upmost respect.

“Anna was fantastic and Penny had a great time with her. I will definitely book in with Anna again.”

About: Had family pets throughout my life and have cared for and walked my friend’s and family’s dogs when needed. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions! 🐾 I’m currently working shifts so have plenty of time to care for your doggo! I’m an early bird, who loves being outdoors.

About: Hi, I’m Jess, I’m 22 years old, and I’m a 4th year veterinary medicine student at Bristol University. I have a lot of experience looking after dogs of various sizes and ages - for which I am happy to provide references from. I am happy to look after any size / age / type / breed of dogs and cats (and other pets too - eg hamsters, rabbits etc), and I am confident with handling all types of animals (eg strong walkers, big dogs or energetic puppies). I will indulge your pet with lots of cuddles, walks and play time, as well as any other requirements your pet needs. I have my own dogs, cats, rabbit, Guinea pigs and horse at home so I have plenty of experience and knowledge of animal care. I am a clinical vet student so I am confident and competent at administering medications and tending to any medical needs. Most of our uni work is still online so I am able to work from home if necessary, which also gives flexibility around walks and toilet breaks! We have a fenced garden at home, with lots of lovely walks around the area for both on and off lead. They will receive lots of cuddles and attention. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch :)

“Emily has been a wonderful dog sitter for Bonnie- she was so kind and easy to communicate with and Bonnie instantly loved her! Couldn’t recommend Emily higher if I tried!”

About: Always had pets in the house from when I was a baby, my mum cared for a lot of rescue dogs when I was younger so there was always a furry friend in the house. Some of these dogs were very nervous for obvious reasons, so I have been round and cared for dogs with lots of different personalities, my experience in this is a definite advantage. I have always adored dogs because of this 😊 I moved to clevedon last year and met a lovely lady who needed her dog walking. I been walking Oscar the black Labrador ever since, we have lots of adventures and lucy had a key cut for myself so I can come and get him for walks/runs when she is out, pics of Oscar can be seen in my photos! 🥾🌲 As well as Oscar, I have met other people during this time and have had the pleasure of walking their dogs also, one of my doggy owners advised me to download this app which for sure will help me grow this business. I am unfortunately unable to have a dog full time otherwise I would have got one in a heartbeat when I moved into my place. However I can have dogs overnight/daytime etc! I work from home, 8:30-17:30 Monday - Friday and use my weekends to find new walks and adventures! (And weekday mornings.. evenings.. whenever I can, I will get outside really 😊) there are some lovely walks near me including the coastal path, poets walk, and lots of woods to explore! I can take care of your dog throughout the day as I work from home, and of course overnight if needed. As I am working from home, I will be here throughout the day for all their needs/cuddles! I usually go for nice early walks before work too so if they were to ever stay over they’d get a nice sunrise view with me. I would take them for long/short walks as needed, depending on the dog, this would be spoken about of course with yourself. I unfortunately do not have a garden however, as I work from home I can take them out throughout the day for toilet needs if I was to have them for daycare.
