Pet Sitting Rushcliffe

About: What sets me apart is the range of hands-on experience I’ve had with animals. I worked in a vet clinic for a month and have volunteered at rescues such as Moohaven and Guardian Angel Bird Sanctuary, which gave me experience with animals of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve also cared for a variety of pets at home and through volunteering — from dogs and cats to chickens and turtles — so I’m confident handling different needs and routines. Growing up with two dogs and a cat of my own has also given me the patience and understanding to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I currently have a fairly flexible routine, making it easy for me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting. I enjoy spending my free time with animals, so fitting pet care into my day feels natural. I’m happy to work around your schedule and make sure your pets get the time, attention, and care they need. For drop-ins, I make sure pets have fresh food and water, a potty break, and some playtime or cuddles so they feel happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I always check that everything is safe and secure before I leave. For dog walks, I focus on giving each dog the right balance of exercise and fun, whether that’s a brisk walk or a slower pace for older dogs. I keep walks safe by using secure leads, being aware of surroundings, and tailoring the walk to each dog’s needs and energy level

I have a fenced garden and no pets living here, although there is a dog in the family who visits, upon request. I can separate your pets if they need space as our house is nice and big, there's plenty of room for them to stretch their legs, and a park in close proximity.

“Devon was absolutely brilliant with Kuda. He was reliable, calm, and clearly confident with dogs, which put me at ease straight away. Kuda was well cared for, happy, and relaxed during the visits, and communication throughout was great. I really appreciated the updates and the care shown — it’s clear Devon genuinely loves what he does. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.”

About: I started walking my friend’s dog when I was small, which gave me experience in taking care of a dog and ensuring it has a good walking experience.

For bordering service, I have a large grassy garden that provides a comfortable and safe space for dogs to run around. There are also plenty of green areas near my home, which are great for walking dogs.

About: I have experience with rescue dogs and building bonds and trust. I know the importance of understanding what your dog needs no matter the temperament. I enjoy training new tricks and taking them for adventures. I believe I can offer your dog fun and make their stays like a holiday I work from home most of the week. My mornings start by walking maple first thing in the morning, on my lunch break and after work. With plenty of playtime in between. I am very lucky to be living with a veterinary nurse who is always on hand to help where needed. I am very flexible to your dogs routine and will aim to mirror this. Maple is very adaptable and loves having other dogs as company. Most days I aim to take them out together. If your dog prefers walks alone then this is available

About: I have just qualified as a vet, and am having some time off over summer, and I’m looking for some animal company over this time! I have grown up around animals and always had a passion for pet care. My time on the vet course has given me experience looking after a large range of breeds from the very small to very big. It has also given me plenty of experience with medical care for animals, and I may be able to accommodate to pets with more complex medical needs. I have also have experience taking care of puppies, including orphaned new borns, and of senior dogs. Please feel free to message me with any more specialist needs your pet may have :) I enjoy walking and spending time outdoor and it would be lovely to have a furry friend to come with me. I have an elderly pet dog at home who likes her own space, so will only be doing housesitting, drop ins and walks. Currently having a break after finishing vet school. Have some plans in summer which I would love to care for pets in between, so may be able to accommodate longer stays as well as short. Happy to meet prior to stays, to ensure I get on well with pets! I will stay with pets as much as is required for them and ensure lots of photos are taken to keep you updated on long stays.

About: As an avid dog loved, and having had dogs all my life, I understand the importance of finding someone trustworthy and caring to look after your furry friends. I have extensive experience in caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. My approach to dog sitting is rooted in compassion and understanding, ensuring your pup feels safe, loved and engaged whilst you’re away. I currently work from home 5 days a week and love going on walks, so looking after your furry friends does not impact my routine. I have a fenced back garden, and no current dogs of my own so your dog will have my undivided attention and will be safe at all times.

About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up my family would foster rescue dogs, so we often had dogs live with us with complex behavioural and medical needs. My entire adult life I have owned my own pets and have regularly cared for those of my friends and family. I work from home with flexible hours, so will always be around for your pet. They will never be left alone during their stay here. I also take all visiting dogs out with me, such as visiting family or for dinner, so they will get plenty of socialising during their stay. I currently work flexibly from home, so I can meet a dogs needs quite easily and be very adaptable in the care I am able to provide. I have a fenced garden and are right next to the river for plenty of walking. If your dog sleeps upstairs with you, I will replicate this during their stay with me so they feel as comfortable as possible.
