Pet Sitting Porthill

About: I've grown up around cats and dogs, and I am confident with any size or breed. I have regularly looked after friends' pets. I can work with dogs to improve lead walking or recall (using a long line for safety), and I am able to train puppies in all the basics of good manners. As I work from home for myself, I am available for doggy daycare (including weekends), walks and home visits, providing your dog with the very best care. I am not currently able to offer house sitting or evening visits or walks. I have a fully secure back garden and three friendly dogs to keep your furry best friend company. All of my dogs are fully vaccinated and comfortable around young puppies. There is also plenty of space in the house should anyone need a time out. I have areas for on and off-lead walks on the doorstep. I have a long line for your dog's safety while they enjoy access to open spaces.

About: Hello! I’m a dedicated and experienced pet sitter with a lifelong love of animals, I have owned cats and dogs since I was a baby and have grown up around animals. I currently care for five cats—four of whom are rescues, one of them being very nervous and shy which we are working through—and two dogs, including a high-energy Boxer and a long-haired Cockapoo. Living with such a diverse mix of personalities has given me hands-on experience with different temperaments, activity levels, and care needs. Having grown up with both cats and dogs, I’m very comfortable handling everything from playful, energetic pets to more nervous or shy animals that need extra patience and understanding. I take pride in creating a calm, safe, and positive environment where every pet feels secure and well cared for. I offer flexible services including house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits for feeding, playtime, or general check-ins. Whether your pet needs lots of exercise and stimulation or a gentle, reassuring presence, I tailor my care to suit their individual needs. I am currently working part time at a football stadium however the season has now finished meaning I have time available for pet sitting. I occasionally volunteer as I have a degree working with horses however that is dependant on my work schedule. I have two dogs that are extremely friendly and love meeting new dogs if there is a nervous dog in need of a friend on walks, I am constantly observing the behaviour of new dogs and cats in first meetings to ensure they are comfortable, I am always ready to play and offer different types of enrichment for both cats and dogs to decrease boredom!

About: I have a Level 3 Diploma in Animal Management, where I learned about animal care, behaviour, and welfare. I’ve also volunteered at a variety of kennels, gaining hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds and temperaments. I have walked dogs for other people, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they need. I also grew up with a cat from when I was born until I was 12, which gave me a good understanding of cat care and behaviour. I work full time during the week, but I’m available for overnight stays from Friday evening after work, all day and overnight on Saturdays, and Sundays until late evening. I’ll always make sure pets get plenty of attention, care, and routine during the time I’m with them. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, walks, medication if needed, and any house rules. I take a calm and patient approach so pets feel relaxed and secure, and I make sure they are always supervised and well cared for. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.

“Joey looked after our two cats whilst we were away. She is very responsive and kept us updated with photos. Our holiday dates changed last minute and Joey was very accommodating and flexible with this. I would definitely recommend using Joey, your fur babies will be in good hands.”

About: I’ve had pets since childhood, I am experienced caring for energetic puppies and senior animals, and truly enjoy spending time with pets while meeting all needs. I adore all animals and would love to get to know your fur babies! I work from home 4 days a week meaning I am flexible in terms of when I can attend your home to look after your pets. I enjoy my fitness so taking pets on walks at lunch works perfectly for me and I am flexible on most weekends. I am used to pets with medical issues and have extreme attention to detail when it comes to your pets. I have dealt with reactive dogs and been in difficult situations making me super aware of my surroundings and allowing me to protect your pets further. I am patient with shy animals and will always entertain those pets which love to cause chaos!

“If I am counting it right, this was fourth time when we asked Tasha to look after Arya for us (or maybe third?). Everything is always perfect and we can totally recommend using Tasha as your cat sitter, she is very kind and very caring and it’s amazing with cats xx 💞 thank you once again!! ”

About: I am a fifth-year vet student with a strong compassion for animal care. My current role as a vet student has allowed me to solidify my confidence with handling and caring for animals of all shapes and sizes, including those with medical needs who may need extra attention. Alongside this, I have been fortunate to grow up with both cats and dogs in my childhood home, which has given me lifelong insight into the day-to-day responsibilities required when caring for our furry friends. Both of these combined allow me to provide both attentive and compassionate care to animals, ensuring that pets are kept safe and well looked after, so that owners can feel reassured while they are away. I am currently a full-time student, in my final year of Veterinary Medicine, and have a lot of flexibility on the weekends due to the fact. Alongside this, I also have availability on some weekday evenings, depending on my schedule. I provide attentive care to all animals in their own home, whilst maintaining each pet's routine to make them more comfortable and as stress-free as possible. This includes feeding, walks and playtime. I also send regular updates and photos of your furry friends for extra peace of mind.

About: Hi, I’m your friendly neighbourhood pet sitter in Stoke-on-Trent, here to spoil your furry family members while you’re away. I grew up in a home full of animals, so being surrounded by wagging tails, purrs, and happy energy is my natural state. I share my life with two cats of my own, and I’ve cared for a variety of pets for friends and clients—each with their own personality, needs, and little quirks. I love taking the time to get to know every pet and turning each visit into their own mini-holiday at home. From energetic puppies and playful kittens to calm senior pets, I’m experienced with different ages and temperaments. I’m comfortable administering medication, following specific routines, and adapting to what your pet needs—whether that’s playtime, cuddles, exercise, or simply quiet companionship. As a pet owner myself, I know how hard it can be to leave them behind. That’s why I focus on clear and reassuring communication, with regular updates, photos, and videos so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like my own: with patience, care, and genuine affection. My goal is to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy, so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. My availability can vary during the week due to my work pattern, but I always aim to be transparent and flexible. I’m always available for overnight sitting, and on some days I’m also available full-time. I can offer early morning routines, as well as afternoon and evening visits depending on the day. On some days I’m free from the morning through to early afternoon, while on others I’m available later in the day, usually after 8pm. I’m always happy to discuss specific visit times in advance to make sure they fit both your routine and your pet’s needs. If you have a particular schedule in mind, just send me a message and I’ll do my best to accommodate it. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your instructions carefully—from feeding and medication to home security and routines—so your pet and your home stay safe and well cared for. I respect your space, keep everything tidy, and treat your home with the same care I give my own. I take time to help each pet feel relaxed and comfortable with me, whether that means walks and playtime, gentle interaction, or simply quiet company. I never force attention and always adapt to your pet’s personality and pace—whether they’re energetic, affectionate, or a little more reserved. With clear communication, regular updates, and a calm, reliable presence, my goal is to give you complete peace of mind while your pet enjoys a safe, familiar environment at home.

About: Hi hi!! I'm Phoxx! I've always had dogs in my life since I was young, ranging from giant breeds to miniature breeds, and now as a keen adventurer that goes on frequent hikes I wouldn't mind some extra fluffy company occasionally. I am currently self-employed which allows me to pick which days i go out, so when caring for you fluffy family members I have the ability to take tike off and focus on them. If your pups are at my home, any times that I do need to pop out, my partner will be at home so the house is never empty. Especially with my beagle around to play with. I drive and have access to my a motorcycle and a car so I am happy to house sit for you during the day or simply pop in to make sure your pal has some company and fuss for a while. Due to the size of my house and having my own dog, I currently don't offer boarding for unknown dogs, but we can start at day care and go from there 😊 We have a big sun-trap of a garden that they are free to roam when the weather is nice, get frequent toilet breaks and I also go for walks to my local large field and sometimes down to a friends dog park too (if they're ok in the car) I only work part-time and it's usually based from home. I am never out of the house for long and have plenty of time to look after your furry friends! I have a large faced yard and my own dog to keep your companion company. We spend lots of time doing cuddles and play time as well as more relaxing nap times.

About: I spent 14 years caring for my own Labrador, so I understand the daily rhythm dogs and cats need — regular walks, feeding times, and plenty of attention. Alongside that, I've helped friends and neighbours look after their dogs and cats whenever they've gone on holiday, covering everything from walks and feeding to daily drop-in visits to check in, play, and keep them company. I know how much peace of mind it gives you to know your pet is in safe, familiar hands while you're away. Whether it's a daily walk, a feeding visit, or a full day of company, I treat every pet like my own — with patience, consistency, and genuine care. I'm based in Stoke-on-Trent. I'm happy to discuss your pet's specific routine and needs before we get started. My schedule gives me great flexibility for regular care. On Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, I'm free all day and can offer morning, midday, or evening dog walks, along with drop-in visits at any time that suits you. Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I'm at university, so I'm generally available in the evening. On weekends, I'm available in the afternoons around my work schedule. I'm happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet's routine. For dogs, I focus on giving them plenty of exercise with long walks, along with lots of playtime and attention throughout the visit. For cats, I bring that same energy minus the walks — spending time playing, engaging with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and looked after while their owners are away. Whether it's a quick drop-in or a longer visit, my goal is to make sure every pet gets genuine attention, not just the basics.
