Pet Sitting in Oadby

“Emily was an absolute star, saving us with a very last minute request for a dog sitter. Responding swiftly with messages, but also driving through the snow to come meet Buffy before hand. Buffy made a new best friend the moment Emily arrived, showing how great she is with dogs and we can't thank her enough for looking after our dog x”

About: Hello everyone! My name is Martina, an italian girl just finished her PhD in Genetics at University of Leicester. I have had a lovely Yorkie for 14 years (Maya, in the pic). She has always had health problems (she underwent three surgeries and was suffering of seizures and food allergy) which means I am well trained to take care of any kind of need your dog might have (I learned how to do injections, clean wounds, give a bath, administrate pills or other medicaments on a daily basis and respecting the time). Since I moved abroad I have missed her a lot. Even though she is not with me anymore I still have a lot of love and care to give and so i thought the best way was to become a pet sitter which not only might help someone in need but would also help me to do one of the things that i love most! I am not going to the lab at the moment as I just submitted my thesis which means I am quite flexible about days and hours. About me, I consider myself a very friendly and easy-going person. In addition I fluently speak Italian, English, Spanish a bit of Arabic. I also have a car. If you think I could be a good temporary companion for your pet, do not hesitate to contact me. :) I have just finished my PhD and I am currently unemployed so I am very flexible and can accommodate all your needs and those of your pet too of course! I live in a residential area with many parks close by to walk the dogs. My flat is small (2 bedrooms flat) but I have a big living room with space for the dog.

“Shannon looked after Cosmo and Tokyo and was absolutely brilliant. The cats took to her straight away, which says it all. She was reliable, professional, and a real pleasure to deal with. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend.”

About: I have been with dogs since childhood, relatives and friends relied on me to sit their pets and also take them for a frequent walk. I can also assure to provide basic training ( at no extra cost) to puppies if required. I'm currently doing my postgraduate studies in Uni of Leicester, I have plenty of time apart from my Uni schedule, I'll be able to fit my schedule based on the requirement. I'll have a constant watch on the pet no matter what, moreover to be honest I care more about the pets than the rest of the world.

“We had Rachel come and look after our cat Felix for the first time bank holiday weekend. Was so impressed from the moment we met her on the meet & greet. Rachel done a great job looking after our boy, she followed all our instructions, sent photos of him and left the house very tidy. When we returned Felix was a happy boy. Would have no hesitation in booking Rachel again and would definitely recommend. Thank you Rachel .”

“This was the first time Inga had looked after my dog, communications prior to arriving were faultless and Inga asked all the relevant questions. Inga arrived on time and was calm and patient with my nervous dog, Inga sat with my dog while I left for a two hour appointment. Inga was gentle and kind with my dog which suffers from separation anxiety, Inga kept me informed while I was away and I was confident that my dog was being well cared for. I would use Inga again for dog sitting and would recommend.”

About: Hi! My name is Rosie, and I’ve been passionate about caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve gained hands-on experience through nearly a year and a half of voluntary work at a doggy day care, where I helped with feeding, cleaning, and keeping the dogs happy and entertained. What began as school work experience quickly turned into a long-term opportunity, as the staff invited me to stay on after I finished school. I also spent three months working on a farm, where I handled, fed, and cleaned a variety of animals as part of my training. I’ve completed my Level 1 Animal Care qualification and began working toward Level 2 before taking a job in retail, with plans to return and complete my studies. Alongside my practical experience, I’ve always had animals in my life — currently, I share my home with several dogs and cats, and have grown up around animals since childhood. I’m kind, reliable, and truly love caring for animals, which is why I’m excited to offer my services as a pet sitter. You can trust that your pets will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own x Even though I currently have a part-time job, caring for animals is still a big part of my everyday life. I take full responsibility for my own pets at home, making sure they’re fed, clean, healthy, and happy. Pet Care fits perfectly into my routine as it allows me to continue doing what I love — working with animals — even while balancing another job. My goal is to eventually pursue a full-time career in animal care, and this is a great step toward making that dream a reality. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat the space with respect and aim to make the animals feel safe and secure. I follow any routines or instructions provided closely, as I know consistency is important for their well-being. I take time to build trust with each pet, using calm body language, gentle handling, and positive interaction. I make sure the environment stays clean and hazard-free, always keeping an eye out for anything that could affect their comfort or safety. My priority is to make sure both the pets and their owners feel confident and relaxed while I’m in their home.

“This is my first experience of this service. I contacted Maisie to care for my two cats. She responded promptly to my message and was spot on time for the introductory visit. Maisie asked relevant questions about the boys care and explained that I would receive photos and a message after the visit. I was happy with the care provided and would book Maisie again.”
