About: I have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. With a strong background in animal health and wellbeing, I’m confident in administering medications, monitoring behavior, and providing attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. Your pets will be treated like family—kept safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work Monday-Friday and am available on weekends, mornings and evenings during the week and can stay overnight in your home. I’m happy to walk dogs if we can discuss timings in advance around my current responsibilities. I don’t bring cats or dogs into my home as I have my own pets but happy to look after small animals in my home. Im happy to stay at your home.

About: I have had dogs my entire life as my mother used to breed as I got older I used to help her. I have always owned a dog since the age of 13 and I am very confident around big dogs as well as being comfortable looking after puppies. I have experience with my own dogs in their senior years, administering medicine and also have trained my own puppies. I have children who go to school so am free most days to sit, check in or walk your dog/pets. I am available at the weekends but this may not be until after lunchtime. I can care for your pets in your home or take dogs out for walks. I do have my own dog and cat and am not currently offering to look after your pets at my own home at the moment, if this is something you are interested in I would first need to get to know your dog.

“Our cat was fed and happy when we got back and we got plenty of lovely piccies showing she was doing well while we were away. Philippa and David also happily rescued a parcel for us that the postie left out in the rain! Thanks so much you guys :)”

About: I've grown up with dogs and been around dogs for almost all of my life. Until recently owned a 12 year old cocker spaniel called Tigger. I'm a keen Cani Cross Runner and Tigger was a great running dog, he absolute loved it, so I'm trying to help more dogs be active. A healthy active dog is a dog that will have a longer healthy life and a lot of dogs don't get the exercise they need. I'd love to help change that. 😊 I'm available almost all the time when I'm not travelling and happy to work around your schedule with enough notice. Let's have a chat about your needs. If you would like me to try running with your dog the following apllies: I would need to take your dog out for a walk or two first to learn about their habits and needs. Then if they've not tried Cani Cross before we would need to take it slowly as there's a lot to learn for both me and your dog about how we run together. I'm happy to answer any questions you have about this as well, so do let me know and if you'd like to come along as well that's even better!

“Leah is a kind, responsible and patient pet sitter. Our cat warmed to her and thrived whilst we were on holiday, which is thanks to the care and attention of Leah. Happily recommend and definitely be my first choice for on pet sitting again. Thank you 😀”

“Kristine takes wonderful care of our senior cat, Milly. She is always reliable, keeps us updated and goes above and beyond to make sure Milly has all she needs. We'll definitely be booking Kristine again.”

“Brilliant service! Danielle visited every day and took great care of our dog, with plenty of walks and attention. I loved getting daily updates and photos through the app - It made being away so much easier, knowing she was being well looked after :) Will definitely book again!”

About: I love animals (but everyone on here says that don't they!) I also have real hands-on experience dealing with rescue dogs that had a bad start so maybe a little 'minxy' in their behaviours. I had a dog as a kid and have one now with a myriad of 'quirky' behaviors. I've taken online courses in Dog Behaviours and Zoopharmacognosy (self-medication in the animal kingdom) so you know I have an avid interest in the general well-being of all animals. I will be available for daytime sits in your home, drop ins and evening sits from August. I can work from home three days a week so am happy for short mid week sits as well as long as you have a good wifi/internet signal! I have a fenced garden and 1 dog, I will care for your pet however you instruct me to but have experience crating and making up games as and when needed. I can also assist with basic puppy training and have dog reactivity experience.

“Thank you Hannah for looking after Barney today. He loved his walk and having some company - and seemed much happier that he’d had someone to see him while we were out. An absolute pleasure to talk too. Great communication and clearly loves animals. We’d love to have you back very soon. Highly recommended!”

“Ed is a delight to deal with, confidence inspiring and delivered the goods. We came back to a happy Cat in a tidy and clean house, and a little welcome back note. Ed will get first refusal on all our cat sitting needs from now on!”

About: I work Monday to Friday 9-5 and have availability to work from home if your pets need someone that is around more! I work in the Chesterton area, and am able to do walks early morning and later afternoon! I unfortunately cannot board your pets at my home. However, I will ensure they stay safe and loved under my care, regular walks, and lots of cuddles!

About: I have been caring for pets for 20+ years, including my own dog and looking after neighbours' and friends' dogs. I have experience with various breeds such as Chow Chows, Labradors, Jack Russell Terriers, Border Terriers, Cocker Spaniels, Dachshunds, English Bulldogs, Shih Tzu mixes, and Romanian rescues. I have trained my own puppy and am comfortable administering medication. I can handle multiple pets and have dealt with challenging behaviours, including helping my reactive rescue dog overcome her fears. While I don't have specific experience with special needs pets, my adaptability as a teacher allows me to provide excellent care. I can provide references from previous pet owners I have cared for. I have recently returned to work as a full-time teacher at a school in Girton. Therefore, I will not be at home during the day. However, I am still offering sitting services in the evenings and on weekends. Additionally, if you are comfortable with it, I am happy to have your pet stay at my house during the day. During the school holidays I will be able to stay at yours or have your pet at mine, where I will be at home during the day. During term time, you live somewhere with easy access to Girton, I am happy to house sit then too. I work full time, leaving for work at 7am but I do have a bit of time in the mornings. I also finish at 4pm so I also have time after work during the week. My weekends are quite free so I’d be more than happy to help out then, too! Additionally, I am more than happy to look after your furry friends during the school holidays. I ensure that the home is pet-proofed and secure, minimising any potential hazards. I follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and medication, maintaining their routine as closely as possible. I provide plenty of love, attention, and playtime to keep the pets happy and engaged. Additionally, I maintain open communication with the pet owner, providing regular updates and photos to give them peace of mind. We have a wonderful large garden which is secure as well as plenty of fantastic walking routes from our front door!

About: I have taken care of a variety of pets including dogs, my own dogs Blake and Charlie and family dogs, as well as cats and guinea pigs. I have experience in handling reactive dogs and dogs that wear muzzles. I also have experience with blind dogs. I have also earned the New Skills Academy Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Diploma and Pet First Aid Certificate, Dog Grooming Diploma, Pet Nutrition Diploma, Pet Psychology Diploma, Canine Communication Diploma which are all CPD Certified. I can provide drop-in, walk and house-sitting Friday evening through Sunday and house-sit at weekends and will make weekday availability and boarding available on my calendar when I can. I am generally available weekdays from 5:30 for pop-ins and walks. See calendar or message for availability. I have a securely fenced back garden and stairgates in my home so your pets will be secure. Should your dog require crating I have space for crates and beds of all size so your best friend will always have a home from home environment.

About: I’ve had pets since I was a child - dogs, cats hamsters - and have helped with all kinds of animal care. I now have two British shorthair cat brothers who are my absolute world!

“This is the second time Marie has looked after Romeo when we are away. Romeo obviously likes her and she is really great with him. She always let's us know how he is and sends great photos. I would highly recommend Marie to anyone who needs there pet looked after.”

About: I have looked after animals most of my life and bring a calm, caring, and responsible approach to everything I do with pets. I grew up with a family dog, and have looked after and walked friends and family dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities - whether it’s a bouncy labradoodle or a tiny dachshund with big opinions. This includes walking, feeding and sitting - whatever a dog needs to feel happy and cared for. I have a lot of hands-on animal experience. As a teenager my dream was to become a vet - but as an adult I realised my love for science was stronger and so I didn’t pursue it in the end! However, along the way I completed various animal-related work experiences, including in veterinary practices, where I got to observe consultations and surgeries and help with safely handling and restraining animals. I also volunteered in kennels and spent 10 days in Uganda helping with dog handling during rabies vaccination programmes. All of these experiences taught me how to read animal behaviour, stay calm in new situations, and always put the animal’s wellbeing first. I live in a quiet, child-free house with my partner, and we are both working professionals. We are fortunate enough to have a large fenced garden, so plenty of room for a good sniff and play, and there are also lots of safe walks nearby. I am patient, attentive, and comfortable with dogs of different ages, including puppies who need consistency and older dogs who may benefit from a gentler pace. I will follow routines or special instructions very closely, and my main goal is to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away or busy. I currently don't work on Friday afternoons, and this is usually when I go for a walk so I would love to have a furry friend join me then! I am also available for walking, day/overnight sitting, and home visits on Friday afternoons, Saturdays and Sundays. During the rest of the week I can do walks, home visits, or sitting in the evening. I follow each pet’s routines closely, keep them safe, and make sure they have fresh water, food, and cozy spots to relax. I live in a quiet, child-free house with my partner, and we are both working professionals. We are fortunate enough to have a large fenced garden, so plenty of room for a good sniff and play, and there are also lots of safe walks nearby. I pay attention to your pets behaviour, giving extra reassurance to those who might be nervous, and make sure playtime and walks are safe and enjoyable. My goal is always to help pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away.

“We've used Larissa many times to look after Flash, our (we think) adorable tuxedo cat. We've found Larissa to be reliable, friendly, and affectionate towards our cat - who laps up the attention! She's also flexible and willing to go above and beyond the call of duty if need be. For example, we were experiencing delays with our return flight, and she happily remained on standby until she knew we were home with Flash. She's a lovely young woman and I can't recommend her highly enough.”

“Really impressed with Isabelle, looked after our two cats for a week, very professional!”
