Dog Sitting North Walsham

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 grown up in a dog friendly household often dog sitting and house sitting. We also recused dogs some with specific needs and behaviours! I’d be very happy to make sure your pet is happy and looked after! I work full time but from home some days I am free in the weekends and take flexible time at work. I am happy to walk in before and after work as well as on my lunch breaks. I would go to a pet owners home as I’m in a house share I will follow all directions and ensure the pet is look after incredible well.

About: I grew up with various animals and have been a pet owner for 30 years. I’m the go to pet sitter for friends and family. I choose to do pet sitting because I find it incredibly rewarding and love spending my time with animals. I work remotely 90% of the time and can arrange to work 100% remotely from your home if needed. I can give your pet regular cuddles and toilet trips and walk them around my work. My days off are Thursday -Sunday so I will be able to give them extra attention on these days. I will arrange to visit your home beforehand to get to know your pet/s and make sure they and you are happy with me. This also enables me to discuss expectations and security/routine. Due to the nature of my job, I also have an enhanced DBS check.

“Sophie was friendly and reliable, and more importantly, my two cats liked her. She was able to take them on at short notice over Christmas, after I had been let down by a sitter I had previously booked. I would definitely be happy to book Sophie again, so would recommend her.”

About: Hi, I’m Paulina — though the dogs know me as Pawlina 🐾! I run PAWLINA: Home for Pets, a safe, licensed, and insured home-from-home for dogs in Little Fransham. I hold a Breckland Council Animal Welfare Licence (AWL0208) for home boarding and daycare of up to 5 dogs, so you can be sure your pets are cared for to the highest standards. I’ve loved animals since I was a child—my home was always full of pets, and I’ve felt happiest outdoors in nature. I’m calm and gentle, which animals seem to naturally sense. Even the shyest ones warm up to me quickly and often come over for cuddles. I can't walk away when an animal needs help—like the little kitten I rescued and found a loving home for (take a peek at my gallery, but be prepared for a cuteness overload 😍). It makes me very happy to make animals feel safe and loved. What I also love about my pet-sitting work is the chance to meet wonderful people—pet owners who, like me, truly care about animals. From my experience, pet owners are some of the kindest and most caring individuals you can find, and I feel lucky to be around such a kind community. At Pawlina's, your furry family member will be safe, loved, and treated like one of my own. I can’t wait to welcome them and help them feel right at home! 🐾❤️ I work part-time from home — just a couple of hours in the morning and a couple in the afternoon, Monday to Friday. Because my job is home-based, I’m available all week to care for your pets. They’ll never be left for long periods and will always get plenty of time, care, and attention every single day. Together with my partner, I live in a cosy two-bed bungalow with a secure 0.17-acre garden in peaceful Little Fransham. The area is wonderfully quiet, with beautiful walks right on our doorstep — perfect for outdoor adventures with pets. Whether welcoming your furry friend into my spacious, pet-friendly home or caring for them in yours, I prioritise creating a calm and secure environment. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routines and preferences so they feel completely at ease.

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: Me and my partner work from home full time and would love the company of a four-legged friend. I only ever take in one dog at a time, this means your dog gets 100% of my attention, the best spot on the sofa, and a routine that doesn't change just because they aren't at home. I keep my client list small and exclusive to ensure I can be available when you need it most. My home is a calm and quiet space, I have no dogs or kids of my own and live it a very quite estate on the edge of norwich. Whether we’re heading out for a long afternoon walk or just hanging out while I’m at my desk, your dog will be treated exactly like my own. They’ll have the run of the house and plenty of belly rubs. I have a completely fenced garden which they have access to as much as needed. I have a very cosy office with a sofa they have exclusive use of.

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!

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 am Lukasz, a researcher with huge love for animals. I have been actively caring for dogs and cats since I was 14 years old - both family pets and of friends from all over the world. I'm comfortable handling dogs of all breeds and sizes, including pups and senior doggos. I am currently working remotely with a flexible timetable, therefore I will be happy to adjust my availabilty to your needs. I am available during the week and on weekends. I am flexible and happy to adapt to meet your specific requirements. I am capable of accommodating your preferences to ensure you have a good experience with pet sitting. Your satisfaction and your pet's well-being are my top priorities, and I am committed to tailor the experience to best suit your needs.

“James was wonderful with our Welsh terrier. They bonded instantly and I felt so at ease leaving our boy with him at short notice. Would recommend James to anyone!”

“Jude was great! She looked after Luna at short notice and ensured she had company and a good walk when we were out all day. Would definitely recommend and will ask her to look after Luna again.”

About: I'm great at pet sitting because I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like my own. I'm super responsible, always on time, and make sure to follow all your instructions to a T. Plus, I send lots of updates and cute pics so you know your furry friend is happy and well-cared for! Living alone and working part-time after uni gives me the ideal setup for pet care. My routine is flexible, so I can dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, and cuddles. I love having the company, and your pets will get all the attention and care they need, fitting seamlessly into my day. Safety is my absolute top priority when pet sitting. I'm super careful about keeping your pets secure, always double-checking gates and being extra cautious on walks. I'm also great at recognizing signs of distress or discomfort in animals and know when it's time to seek professional help. You can have total peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in safe, attentive hands!

About: I’ve had two cats for four years now and they are house cats , I love spending time with them. I have previously owned a staffy (dog) named daisy who I regularly took out for walks and fed. I myself go on walks daily so I would love to help someone out if their pets need walking :) I think it’s very important for pets to receive some good playtime and loving which I would love to provide for them when the owner is unable to do so. I will walk pets in evenings/weekends depending on the size and activity level of the pet. I am happy to look after cats at my home too and invest in toys for them. I have now been dog sitting on Rover for 5 years and have enjoyed dog sitting so much. I started out as a uni student but now I am now a Secondary school Geography teacher, so will be available any school holidays as well as evenings and weekends. I have a lot of compassion and love for cats and dogs. I love spending time with them and playing with them, feeding them etc. It’s a very fulfilling job for me. I have a fenced garden, with a spacious living room for comfort. I always try and arrange a meet and greet first so that the pets are familiar with me before the service

“It's made my day that my cats have been cared for while I am at work. Leslie is very professional and caring. The photos and summary are great to receive. Thank you Leslie ")”

About: Animal lover with a degree in zoology, I have a professional background in animal care in shelter, rescue and zoo settings. Experience planning and implementing training/enrichment programmes in a variety of zoo animals and happy to care for animals with medical or specific needs. Fitting dog sits around my full time job so my availability varies. I have recently graduated from university and have a very flexible schedule. Currently care for my three dogs and a small collection of exotic pets on behalf of others. I have a lot of experience caring for a variety of animals with different behavioural needs and able to identify individual needs based on exhibited behaviours to best care for each animal.

About: I’ve been surrounded by lots of different animals from a young age and they have always been a love of mine. I’ve cared for family and friends pets, such as dogs, cats and my own little small animal oasis of guinea pigs and rabbits - that I took great pride in looking after. Your pet will be sure to receive the same. I am currently working as a teaching assistant at an SEN school, so am available most weekends and some evenings after 4pm during the week. I also have half terms off, so have more flexibility and available to look after lots of pets. When I stay with your pet, they can expect lots of cuddles (if that’s what they like), long walks and a trusting safe. I will be respectful to their homes and meet their needs.

About: I’ve looked after and owned my own dogs for the past 18 years, I train working dogs to a high standard and both my labs are super friendly and efficient working dogs, I have a retired police dog and I am part of a police puppy walking scheme where I train puppies until reach a suitable age to undergo full police training, I truly believe dogs are better than people, if you show them the right amount of love and affection in training there is nothing that can not be accomplished with them, there is no stronger bond that a dog and owner and I appreciate how much a dog can mean to a person so I will care for your dog as if was my own. I work shift patterns at present and if the shift is longer than 6 hours my dogs go and stay at my parents who own a large country house with big garden to play in I have a large garden which is fully fenced in with only one access point at the front the fence is over 6 foot in height and the front gates are chained shut to prevent any escape artists

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 have had several breeds of dog in my life as pets and have experience training them. I am also a qualified dog groomer with a level 3 diploma. Having my own small dog helps me daily to understand his needs and those of other dogs. I am currently in-between jobs as I work freelance for events. Although I have my own dog and I look after my mum’s, I have a lot of free time. I have a fenced garden and safe home, I also have experience with crating and caring for dogs in their own homes. As well as training.
