Dog Sitting Royston

About: I have had pets my whole life and love animals. I’ve grown up caring for dogs, cats, horses and chickens. As well as taking care of my own pets, I’ve done paid work including cat sitting, babysitting with dogs and general house sitting. I’m available on week days and weekends for the next two months. I’m happy staying overnight to look after pets, but cannot currently host pets at my house due to having my own dog who gets unsettled. I’m happy to cater to your pets needs, whether it’s staying in and keeping them company, or taking them for long walks. I’m happy around all pets of all sizes!

“Very professional. Sent lots of nice photos and videos and kept me informed throughout the day. Took the weather and time alone for Sandy into consideration. He was super calm and happy when I returned.”

“Very helpful and communicative. Oscar was happy and I’m very grateful for the other things (watering etc) done through initiative and being ‘on it’.”

About: I have always been around dogs almost all of my life. From the age of 6, I helped to look after and care for our family dog right up until the day he passed. Since then, it has felt like a hole within our hearts. I miss being out in the Fresh air on walks, having a buddy to snuggle up to on the couch and watching a little fur ball doing zoomies. I have previously looked after friends dogs, the longest being for 3 weeks. I also dog sit and look after 3 dogs for friends who are out at work or for long weekends. My boyfriend and I are active individuals who love going on walks around our estate, engaging in group activities with friends and their dogs ( little pup dates ) and being able to love a dog. Pet care fits really naturally into our routine because I only work 3 days a week, which gives me plenty of time to give dogs lots of love, attention, and care throughout the day. We both love going on walks and little adventures, so your dog would get plenty of exercise, playtime, and cuddles too. We’re very affectionate with dogs and love making them feel comfortable, happy, and part of the family. We’re also quite flexible with boarding, so we can work around different needs and routines where possible. I will care for pets as if they’re part of the family and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after. Myself and my boyfriend live in a maisonette, and although there isn't a garden, I am very active and make sure dogs are taken out regularly for toilet breaks, walks, exercise, and fresh air throughout the day. I am happy to crate a dog if that’s part of their normal routine, but if not, there’s a spacious comfy couch for them to relax on and feel at home. Whether in our home or the owner’s home, I would always make sure the dog is supervised, cared for properly, and given plenty of attention, affection, and playtime.

About: Hey! I am a 21 year old student veterinary nurse, completing my apprenticeship at a local practice. I have been dog walking and sitting for people locally for around 5 years, caring for them before or after work. I studied A levels in Animal Management and have worked since then at a doggy day care centre caring for over 20 dogs at once, whilst also at a farm. I also have two cheeky terriers. Therefore, I am used to a lot of mischief! I also own a lovely cat and have done numerous cat sittings too, staying at the clients house :) it’s fair to say, my life revolves around these four legged creatures- including rabbits and guinea pigs too! I am working full time at the moment, however I work both early and late shifts. Therefore I am happy to visit/ walk your pet before work, or if I’m on a late shift; in the evening afterwards. I am also available some weekends to stay over if needed!:) I currently am not looking after animals in my house due to my naughty terriers being enough to handle by themselves! They aren’t the biggest fan of new friends! However, I am more than happy to visit or stay at your house when needed!

About: I’m experienced in caring for various small breeds like French Bulldogs and Teddy Bears. I've also looked after Labradors for friend. I am extremely patient and enjoy training puppies, more importantly, making friends with them. I currently work part-time and mostly from home, allowing me plenty of time to play with pets. I'm flexible and available for pet care and boarding at any time. I can provide real-time updates, including photos and videos, to keep you reassured. Every moment your pet spends with me is safe and comfortable. I have a double apartment where pets have free access to all rooms, including the living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. Perfect for small pets!

About: Ive always had a dog and I am also loved by cats, I love giving them attention and like it too. You're leaving your baby in safe hands coz when Im with pets they become my world. I feel I understand animals well, even though they can’t communicate in the same way we do—perhaps it’s my biologist’s instinct. I truly enjoy spending time with them and would be delighted to care for your beloved pets. As a PhD student, I have a self-managed schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to pet care. I also see this as more than just a side role—it’s something that brings me joy and a sense of calm, almost like therapy, while ensuring your pets feel safe, loved, and well looked after. As I have lived in the past in an area where wildlife is common, I always took extra precautions to keep pets safe, including ensuring they remain indoors after 6 PM, even for short strolls. I also carefully check the environment to remove any sharp or hazardous objects. Most importantly, I pay close attention to their behavior and cues, making sure they feel heard, understood, and comfortable at all times.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was young and have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I’m reliable, patient, and truly love spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to feed, walk, and care for their pets as if they were my own. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved.” I work in my own house, so I'm always at home and when I have to go out, my boyfriend is at home and helps me take care of them. I live in a house with a fenced garden, providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets. I can host small, calm animals in my home. For medium and large dogs, I'm happy to provide care in the owner's home. I always make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for, following their routine and needs.

About: I’m a 19 year old girl looking to make some extra money during her gap year :) I’ve grown up with cats and currently have 6, we’ve had up to 8 at one time! I love cats and understand the importance of keeping them comfortable and catering to their needs. I also have a dog and tortoises as well as having had rabbits and hamsters in the past so i am an avid animal lover!

“Megan looked after our cat Mabel recently and we cannot thank her enough! Megan went above and beyond for Mabel and treated her like royalty! As if Mabel were her own cat. Megan spent time playing with Mabel, brushing her fur, giving her treats and even got her some new toys. We will most definitely be booking Megan again when we next go away and will recommend to family and friends. Thank you again Megan!”

“Lilly is a fantastic sitter. She made our dog feel comfortable and well cared for, and kept us updated throughout her visit. We will certainly book her again!”

“Colette and her husband are great. They popped by for a familiarisation visit before their daily check-ins and were both very nice and polite. They both then stopped in to see my cat Pepper for a few days, and sent me check-ins for each visit which included photos and comments about how Pepper was doing. The good sign was that Pepper looked happy in all photos - with lots of flops to the floor, belly in the air! Her food area was left clean and tidy after the visits and I returned home to a happy cat. Will definitely be booking again, thank you.”

About: I had a dog when I was really young for 12 years so I am very used to having them around me. I have looked after my family members 3 dogs and I have a puppy of my own. I am working part - time so I have a lot of time in the week to walk and look after your dogs. I absolutely love animals but dogs are my favourite. I will always keep your dog on a lead whenever I go for a walk and the places I will go I know very well and are safe.

“Graeme is such a lovely person. This was my first experience of using a dog sitter- he was so reassuring, sent me photos of my dog and was totally reliable. I do hope Graeme will come back to us again!!”

About: After recently moving into my first home, away from my family dogs, I am looking to help others look after their dogs before we get our puppy next year! I have grown up around animals, and absolutely adore all kinds. From the walks to the sofa snuggles. Though I am new to dog sitting, I have more than enough experience in looking after dogs! I am a qualified teacher, so I work during the week. Though that leaves me with a free weekend! I can offer boarding Friday and Saturdays, and can offer day care on a Sunday. I can offer evening drop ins during the week, walks, or time where your pet just has some company. I can also offer Holiday times, so if your local school has a week (or two, or 6 in the summer!) off- chances are I do too! This then opens up my week day availability. Any questions, please just message me and ask! I have a secure house, with a fenced garden. I live with fields surrounding me so can offer some fantastic walking routes. I have no pets of my own, so your pet doesn't need to be social if they don't want to be! I can offer a comfy sofa- or a dog bed if they would rather. I have a full drivers license so I am happy to travel. Collection/ drop off could be arranged.

“Thank you Annie for stopping in at short notice to give Kai a run around and lots of fun playing! The updates you sent were great and we’d happily recommend you or have you look after Kai again!”

“Had to leave for 2 weeks holiday. My cat was taken well care off and I received regular updates with photos on agreed dates. Would recommend.”

“Thank you for your help today - so much appreciated!”

About: Loving and empathetic cocker spaniel mum, with space to look after another fur baby during the week. While Bramble is only 7 months old I have always been obsessed with dogs. Having freshly trained a puppy I am continually learning about dogs, so you can rest assured knowing you have one of the best looking after yours. I have a wealth of knowledge, experience, tools, and equipment to ensure the best possible stay, however do say if there is any particulars to discuss before. I’m currently working from home 3 days in the week; and can support with care of your pet on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I am also available on weekends if booked with enough notice. I have a fenced garden which Bramble has access to every 2 hours, or as required. I take him on 2-3 walks a day - mixture of on and off lead. I live in the countryside so there’s plenty of space for them to play and roam safely. Bramble also loves his down time while I work from home. If he isn’t playing with his toys he is cuddling up on the sofa and sleeping. I have a fenced yard and a friendly cocker spaniel to keep your dog company. Bramble has a crate which is used at night and sometimes in the day. Happy to work with crates or beds for your pet. We have a stairgate at the bottom of the stairs to prevent the dogs having any accidents upstairs if and when I can’t keep an eye on them.
