Dog Sitting Porthill

“As soon as we meet Jo we knew she was the one to look after our old boy Dave (20 year old deaf cat). They bonded instantly and he was falling asleep on her lap taking fusses during our meet and greet. Her love of animals was obvious from the start. During our holiday she gave him his meds and the all important cuddles he needed and we got photos and updates every day which just confirmed we’d made the right decision. Our home was spotless when we got home and Dave was happy and healthy. We’ve already booked her for our next break 😍 Thank you Jo, knowing you were loving Dave whilst we were away allowed us to unwind and relax worry free x”

About: I’ve been a cat owner for nearly four years and currently have three cats of my own – Belle (Domestic Long Hair), Elsie (Ragdoll) and Dobby (Domestic Short Hair). Caring for them has given me hands-on experience with cats of different personalities, temperaments and needs. I grew up around rabbits, guinea pigs, dogs and cats, so I’ve always been surrounded by animals. While I now only own cats, I still have experience caring for my family’s dog, so I’m comfortable around dogs as well. I also have experience caring for cats with medical conditions and administering medication. My Ragdoll, Elsie, was unwell for an extended period and required daily medication before she was successfully weaned off it. She now has a specialist gastrointestinal diet, so I’m confident following feeding plans, administering medication and monitoring a cat’s health. In addition to caring for my own cats, I’ve helped search for missing and stray cats alongside a local cat rescue. I’m passionate about animal welfare and believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved and well cared for. I will always treat your pets with the same love, patience and attention that I give my own. I currently work fully remotely, with core working hours of 10:00am–3:00pm. Outside of these hours, I have the flexibility to manage my workload, allowing me to fit pet visits and care around my schedule. I also have my own car, so I’m happy to travel to care for your pets. I’m based in Trentham, Stoke-on-Trent, but I’m willing to travel to surrounding areas to provide reliable, loving care for your furry family members. I live in a two-bedroom semi-detached home with a secure, fenced garden, providing a safe outdoor space if required. My home is situated in a quiet residential area with plenty of local walking routes nearby, making it ideal for calm and enjoyable walks. I’ll always follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, medication, exercise and any specific care instructions, to ensure they feel comfortable, safe and settled while in my care.

“I can’t thank Isobel enough for taking such great care of Bonnie and Clyde. She kept in touch with me daily with photos and videos. She not only took care of their daily needs, she took the time to play with them and give them love. Thank you so much ! I feel for the first time ever that I can go on holiday knowing my cats will receive the very best of care. I would highly recommend Isobel and I will definitely be using her for my future holidays .”

“Charley was amazing and really went above and beyond. My cat is usually cautious with strangers, but Charley was able to gain her trust from the very first visit. She sent me updates and photos every day, so I always knew everything was fine and my cat was in good hands while I was away for two weeks. She also left the house clean and tidy. I will definitely book Charley again and would highly recommend her.”

I've grown up with big dogs and have previously worked with german shepherd rescue centres and other rotweillers, they are just big lovable giants.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, both in the home and outdoors, so caring for them comes naturally to me. For the past 5 years, I’ve been a proud owner of Zara, my Golden Retriever, and for 8 years I’ve had my cat, Feli. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal with patience, love, and attention, just like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for at all times. I work from home while my two children are at nursery (morning–5 PM), so I have plenty of time to care for dogs, provide walks, and give them constant attention in a calm environment. I offer a safe and secure environment with a fully fenced garden. My dog is friendly and well-behaved, and my cat is calm and used to other animals. I always supervise pets to ensure a safe, relaxed, and loving atmosphere.

About: I have been around dogs all my life and am very passionate about meeting their needs with training and having fun! I live with my partner Nathan in Newcastle under Lyme near Stoke. I did care for a shi zhu called Chico on a regular basis when I lived back in Birmingham in which I walked,fed, bathed and trained, and have always had dogs in the family to practise and give all the love I’m a nurse but am able to take care of your pet around my schedule as I usually have 3 or more days off in the week. There is no set schedule meaning I’m available sometimes in the weekday and sometimes at the weekend I have no pets of my own because of my long shifts which is why I’d love to look after your fur baby. I am happy to walk pets, provide day care or drop in visits

About: I have been walking and looking after pets from a young age having grown up with a variety of cats, dogs, horses and hamsters. I volunteered to walk dogs for the elderly neighbours when I was still at school I have since then worked with horses and within farming. I set up on my own as a dog walker and pet sitter last year giving up my full time job to do that. I still keep my hand in with the odd milking and bit of calf rearing on the farm. I have two working spaniels myself so have experience with energetic high prey drive dogs. Where I can I foster for a rescue and volunteer at a couple of dog rescues with their training and assessments. I am fully insured and DBS checked, I have my first aid and I’m currently completing a course in canine training, behaviour and welfare. Your pets will be cared for as if they were my own and their individual needs met to a high standard at all times. This is now my full time job and I work my daily routine around my bookings. I started my own business just over 12 months ago now and I love spending every day with some amazing pets. I endeavour to follow the pets routine as it would be when their owners are home so as to not unsettle them. I always treat each pet as if they are my own and love and spoil them all the same.
