About: Hi! I’m a caring and reliable primary school teacher based in Rugby, with a genuine love for animals and experience looking after pets of all ages and personalities. My job means I’m organised, responsible and used to following routines, which I know is really important when caring for someone’s pet. I’m patient, calm and attentive, whether that’s providing a good walk, providing lots of cuddles, or making sure a pet feels comfortable and settled. I understand that every pet is different, so I take time to get to know their individual needs, habits and personality. I’m happy caring for older pets, supporting medication routines where needed, and providing a safe, loving environment while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and happiness will always be my priority, and I’ll treat them as if they were my own 😊 Also available on bank holidays and most half terms! I’m currently available throughout the summer holidays and have lots of flexibility for pet care, including mornings, afternoons, evenings and weekends. I’ll be away from 15th–18th August, but otherwise I’m happy to discuss bookings and find a time that works for you and your pet. From September, I’ll be returning to my role as a primary school teacher, so my availability will mainly be before and after school, as well as weekends. I’ll always make sure I can fully commit to your pet’s needs and provide reliable, loving care. Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness will always be my priority. As a primary school teacher, I’m responsible, organised and used to following routines carefully. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, and I’ll treat both with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m calm, patient and attentive, taking time to understand each pet’s personality, needs and usual routine. I’m happy to provide updates, follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels safe, settled and loved while you’re away.

“We were so confident after meeting our sitter that our pet was going to be well looked after. We had regular updates and photos which we found very reassuring.”

About: My name is Rhiann and I am 32 years old. I live in Rugby and have been caring for pets for around 7 years officially, however have been helping friends and family out since I was 16! I can provide lots of references from current and past pet owners who have used my service. I am friendly, reliable and easy going- no job is too big or too small, I will endeavour to fulfil any requirements you may have! I am very flexible so will always try my best to fit your requirements into my daily schedule to the best of my ability. No job is too big or too small, I treat all pets like my own and endeavour to send photos and videos to owners every single visit. I regularly had repeat clients and look forward to seeing my furry friends time and time again! To chat, please get in touch! :) I will always aim to visit your pets between 7am and 9am on my way to my main job as a primary school teacher. I will ensure pets are fed and left with clean water bowls and litter trays for the day. I am happy to stay and play/have cuddles (if this is something your cats enjoy of course!) before heading off for the day. I will then aim to return between 5pm and 7pm for evening checks. Cats will be fed, litter cleaned and water refreshed. This is my main opportunity to spend some time with the kitties that need it, and it’s the part of the day I enjoy the most! I can administer mediation and leave treats at the discretion of the owner. Also happy to do little jobs such as draw curtains/blinds, open or close cat flaps, but bins out etc! I will always follow the instructions of the pet owner to ensure the animals usually daily routine is adhered to to the best of my ability. No request is too big or too small; if it’s what the pet needs I’ll be happy to oblige!

About: I have always looked after animals since a young age. I have a family Springador who is now 9 years old and a 2 year old Cockapoo who is also a family dog (but do not live with me). I miss going on more regular dog walks so I am looking forward to meeting lots of new fur-friends! I love being outdoors and regularly go on walks - so why not exercise the dogs at the same time! I work from home so I enjoy getting out and about during the week and at weekends. I work from home 4 days a week and regularly go on walks either in the morning, at lunch or in the evening (depending on the weather). I am also around at weekends. I have a secure grass garden and hard floors downstairs. There is also space for a crate or dog bed and the house can be made dog-friendly when required.

About: I currently have my own pet sitting business, with DBS checks, insurance and I am first aid qualified. I offer different kinds of visits, catered to your dogs needs, whether a quick pop in, a sniff walk or a ramble in their favourite wood. I will happily send over lots of photos and videos of your pet having the best time for your peace of mind. I offer a free meet & greet before any visit to make sure I know your pet's routine and preferences, as I like to be able to offer care that they are already used to. I am also an avid cat lover, having been the butler to my rescue boy, Floof for 8 years. I have had cats in my life growing up and once took in a mama and her 3 babies, whilst having 2 already established in my house. It was chaos and I loved every second. I currently work 9-5 but I am up with the birds, so can happily do early morning visits and walks. I can come straight after work for a longer visit or walk if needed I prefer to care for your pets in your own home, giving them the security and familiarity they need. I am happy to take them on their regular walks or home visits.

“Jessica so obviously loves pooches! Her updates made us feel relaxed about having left Ness for the first time. Will have no hesitation booking her again so we can go away in the knowledge our baby will be very well looked after and snuggled😍🐶”

“Gary was fantastic. He came in twice daily for 10 days to tend to my puppy. Communication was easy and quick every time and he regularly updated me. Thank you!”

About: Hi! I am a friendly, caring and reliable professional. I recently moved to Rugby from London, where I looked after lots of cats in my local area through Cat in a Flat. I grew up with animals and have had pets all of my life. I have lovely (and sometime mischievous) ginger cat of my own at home but I love to make other feline friends! I am looking forward to hearing from you! I work from home most of the week, so can usually be flexible and will try to visit at the best times for your cat's routine. I am led by the cat and will respect their space if they are shy. I like to understand the cat's personality and build trust with them at their pace. I try to keep to the cat's routine as much as possible and make sure they feel cared for even while their owner is away. I am respectful of the owner's home and make sure to keep everything tidy and lock up securely!

About: Hi! I’m a caring and responsible dog lover who has been a dedicated dog owner since April 2020. Although I don’t have formal pet sitting experience, I have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs every day — including raising a few newborn puppies. This has made me especially patient, gentle, and attentive to dogs’ needs at every stage of life. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I will treat your dog like my own family member, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. Pet care is already part of my daily life as a dog owner, so I easily incorporate it into my routine. I am available after 4:30pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. I also work from home one day between Tuesday and Thursday, which means I can offer daytime care and keep your dog company instead of leaving them alone. I have a flexible schedule during these times and can provide reliable, attentive care, ensuring your pet receives plenty of companionship, supervision, and love. I specialise in caring for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. By keeping your pet in a familiar environment, I help reduce stress and maintain their normal routine. I carefully follow all instructions, stay attentive to their behaviour, and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times. This approach is especially beneficial for dogs who are anxious, shy, or simply prefer staying in their own space. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and video updates for your peace of mind.

About: I've taken care of dogs “professionally” ever since I’ve been 14 years old. This also doesn’t include the fact I have grown up with them during childhood. Neighbours, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I have a senior dog myself since she’s been a puppy I’ve been there for all her care and support necessary including surgery recovery. I am a student. Even if I’m not home which most likely I will be the whole time there will be a resposible adult home. I am completely available to board from Friday till Sunday with acceptions on weekdays. Sitting and walking can occur from weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed, kept separate, walks only on leashes and alone.

“This is the second time Colin and Christina have looked after our dogs Odin and Tilly. We now have no qualms about leaving our home and our dogs with these sitters. They are brilliant.”

About: I’ve had my own dogs and cats for the past 8 years now and loved every minute from walking, to bathing and snuggling! Alongside this I’ve pet sitter for several friends and family while they’ve been away on holiday or just out for the day, getting to look after other peoples pets as well as my own is something I enjoy as I get to make even more furry friends. I currently work from home a few days a week so have lots of free time within the day, where I am happy to fit in a cuddle or two with your pet, to help out with your own routine! Whilst being able to work around my own hybrid job. Since I am currently only providing drop-ins and walks, I will be using your own facilities and equipment, including crates, leads and whatever else you would usually use to make your pet as comfortable as possible.

“Craig did a brilliant job looking after our Dachshund cross! He came out for a meet and greet before and made sure he knew everything he needed to know about Oakley's care. He made sure Oakley was looked after and played with! Great communication and kept us informed with lots of photos! Would definitely recommend and I know Oakley is already looking forward to seeing him again! Thank you again!”

“I booked Jiahui for house sitting with Cookie, and she was absolutely brilliant. She came over for a meet & greet beforehand, which immediately made me feel at ease and confident leaving Cookie with her. While I was away, she kept me updated regularly with photos of Cookie looking happy and relaxed. She followed all the care instructions perfectly, including feeding times, walks, and everything else. When I came home, Cookie was clearly well cared for, and the house was spotless — which honestly says it all. Jiahui is clearly very experienced with dogs and extremely responsible. Communication was smooth throughout, and I felt completely comfortable knowing Cookie was in good hands. I would definitely book her again.”

“What a wonderful experience! Martina could not have taken better care of Twix & sent some many pictures & updates on her stay. We would not hesitate to welcome her into our home again.”

Deborah D.

“Lovely, professional, punctual and the dogs seemed very relaxed when we got home. Great communication. House was left spotless. Thank you Dawn!”

About: I have been surrounded by pets since I was born. Dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, fish, chickens and horses. Now retired, I am looking to fill my time with pet sitting as my new career. I have recently retired, and love walking my own dogs. I have the most of the day to spend time with your pet, walking or playing. We have a large fenced garden, with ample space to board other animals. We have direct access to woods and fields, with many varied walks.

“Ka Yan and Alex have done an amazing job of looking after Arthur for me while I was away for the week. I didn't want just 'drop in' visits because he is a bit of a spoilt cat. I was sent daily photographs and videos reassuring me while I was away that he was in good hands. I have had pet sitters before but Ka Yan and Alex are by far the best and won't hesitate to book them again if they are available. Thank you both from myself and a happy Arthur x”

“We could tell our dog Dave was very happy and at ease with you both, so thank you so much for looking after him. Dave says “I hope they are coming back soon!”😁”
