Pet Sitting in Runnymede

About: I have been surrounded by dogs and animals my whole life. One of my childhood pets is a rescue from Romania, my family and I have aided her from an aggressive and scared dog, into an independent and calmer version of herself. This meant that I had to quickly learn the importance of patience and boundaries. This has inspired me to begin working with animals and specifically dogs. From the age of 15 I started pet sitting for some of my friends animals whilst they were away and as I moved to university I continued to help. I signed up to volunteer on the website Borrow My Doggy where I would look after and walk dogs when their owners became too busy. But since moving back to Surrey I have recently become a community volunteer for the RSPCA, meaning I deliver animal food to numerous homeless shelters. I am hoping to also get involved in some events and dog walking at the shelters in the near future. I’m currently looking for a part time job for the summer, however, at this present time I am available to help from 9am - 6pm during the weekdays and 10am - 8pm during the weekend. Therefore, I currently have a very flexible schedule to help you! I have a large fenced off garden with plenty of place for your pups to play! It catches plenty of sun with various shaded areas. In addition to this on the other side of my fence there is a well trimmed field for them to run at their hearts content.

About: PLEASE NOTE: This profile is for both my partner, Holly, and I. The main experience from pet sitting comes from me but unfortunately I do not drive and rely on my girlfriend for transport, she also has some experience, if you have any worries or concerns then please don’t hesitate to reach out to me! Also, I work as well as dog sitting so please don’t forget to read all of my profile, thank you! I have lived with animals ever since I can remember. I have had many family dogs and cats that I have cared for. I think this is where my love of animals has stemmed from. I have also looked after family members, friends and neighbours animals. I attended Merrist Wood college studying animal management, including kennel work, we would look after the teachers dogs daily, which ranged from puppies to elderly dogs of different breeds. I am currently part-time working from 6am-12pm and 5am-11am Tuesday to Saturday, I am free any time after around 12pm. I do not work Sunday or Monday so I will be able to walk dogs on this day as well. I obey house rules, such as, no dogs/cats upstairs if they aren’t allowed. I am also confident with crating your animal if needs be. I am tidy when staying at your house and will give your pet all the love they need. It would be both my partner and I staying at your house as she is the one that currently drives out of us both at the moment, any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

About: I grew up round lots of different animals through out my life. Each and every animal deserves love, care and attention, which is why I love welcoming furry friends into my home to give them the love attention they deserve while you are away! I’m currently at home most of the time with my toodler whom also loves animals! I want to help out those whom need a pet sitter to give their pets the attention and love that they deserve when you are busy! I have a spacious and warm home for your furry friend to roam and play around! I also have a good sized private and fenced garden.

“Thanks, Ellie, for looking after Winston! You made the process easy and everything went smoothly. Winston hopes you will play ball again with him soon!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and have experience caring for dogs of many different sizes and breeds. Being around animals has always come naturally to me, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’ve regularly looked after friends’ and family members’ dogs, whether that’s taking them for walks, popping in to keep them company, feeding them, or giving them plenty of love and attention. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, and I always treat them as if they were my own. I work full time as a theatre practitioner, so my weekly schedule can vary slightly. I’m generally available for evening dog walks most nights, depending on the surgery list for that week. These schedules are released months in advance, so I’m always able to give plenty of notice and communicate availability clearly. I’m available for boarding on Fridays and Saturdays. I live with my partner, and we are both huge dog lovers who enjoy spending time outdoors. Your dog would be welcomed into a calm, loving home with plenty of fresh air and attention. I’m always happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel fully reassured while your dog is in my care. I believe strongly that owners know their dogs best, so I will always follow your instructions, routines, and preferences closely. At the same time, I pay close attention to your dog’s body language and comfort levels, ensuring their boundaries are respected and they feel safe, relaxed, and secure. I live in a flat with access to a shared, unfenced garden. Your dog’s safety is always my highest priority in this space, and they will only use it under appropriate supervision and in line with your wishes. Inside my home, your dog is welcome to roam and settle wherever they feel most comfortable. I’m lucky to live near plenty of beautiful walking routes, and there’s also a dog park just up the road if you’re happy for your dog to socialise there. I have treats and some toys available, and of course your dog is welcome to bring their own familiar items from home. For first-time bookings, I like to take the time to understand your dog’s routine, personality, and individual needs. I’m very happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand, so both you and your dog can feel comfortable and confident. During a first booking, I follow your instructions closely and keep things familiar and low-stress for your dog. My priority is making sure your dog feels safe, settled, and cared for from the very start.

“I had a great experience with Alia! She took care of my cat for a week and did a wonderful job. She visited twice a day to feed him, change his water, play with him, and give him lots of attention and affection. I really appreciated the regular photo and video updates - it gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands! :)”

“We can't recommend Emma highly enough. Our cat has recently been diagnosed with diabetes and we were considering cancelling our holiday, but Emma was well-skilled in caring for cats and administering the injections. She visited us twice before we went and kept us updated with daily reports and photos. We'll definitely be asking for Emma again! ”
