About: ✅ Criminal record checked ✅ Fully insured with Petplan Sanctuary ✅ Gold member of The National Association of Pet Sitters & Dog Walkers Hi, I’m Angie – a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet parent offering professional pet sitting with a personal, heartfelt touch. With a publishing career built on precision and high attention to detail, I now bring that same level of care and reliability to every pet I look after. This isn’t just a job for me – it’s a passion and a long-held dream. I treat every pet and home as if they were my own, offering dependable, respectful, and above-and-beyond care. My goal is to create a genuine bond with your pet so they feel safe, loved, and relaxed even when you're away. My journey into pet care began just before lockdown in 2020, when I qualified my cat Rupert as a Pets as Therapy animal. I then started dog walking. I also bring a wealth of professional experience from my nine years as Deputy Editor of Your Cat magazine, where I worked closely with cat welfare charities, breeders, and behaviourists. I researched and wrote articles, directed photo shoots with adult cats and kittens, and developed a deep understanding of feline behaviour, health, and care – all of which I apply in my day-to-day pet care. What I offer: ⭐️ Loving, attentive pet sitting in your home with full care of pets and property ⭐️ Drop-in visits for company, feeding, play, and litter tray cleaning ⭐️ Dog walking tailored to your pet’s energy level ⭐️ Transport to vet or grooming appointments ⭐️ Medication administration and special diet management ⭐️ Basic grooming ⭐️ House sitting ⭐️ Support for senior or sensitive pets ⭐️ Regular photo and message updates for peace of mind ⭐️ Companionship for owners – lifts or support for vet visits Whether you need short-term help or long-term support, I’m here to be a trusted companion for both you and your pets. I am able to offer flexible, responsive support to pet owners who need someone they can truly rely on. It’s a joy and a privilege to make pet care a central part of my week. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritise maintaining their familiar routine and environment to help them feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I follow your instructions closely – from feeding schedules and medication to playtime preferences and sleeping arrangements – ensuring your pet receives consistent, personalised care. I bring the same attention to detail that has defined my professional career into every visit, whether it’s a short drop-in or an extended stay. I keep your home clean and secure, and I’m happy to help with extras like watering plants, bringing in post, or adjusting lights and curtains to give your home a lived-in feel while you're away. I also offer support with vet and grooming appointments, including transport and companionship if needed. My goal is to be a trusted companion for both you and your pet – someone who goes above and beyond to ensure peace of mind and genuine care.

About: I have just completed my undergraduate degree in social work. I have grown up with dogs and cats all my life and looking after them is now just second nature to me. Back at home I have three dogs, Two Jack Russells and Border Collie cross; a very busy household!

I also have a cat, and so am familiar with looking after feline friends too! I am currently working a part time job in a social care sector.

About: Growing up I've always had animals, including dogs, cats. I used to spend a few weeks a year with my family on my uncles farm helping out. I had a black lab cross, but lost him 2 years ago, he was beautiful although a little crazy, but loved long country walks and plenty of cuddles. I regularly look after my mums spaniel, hes very active although has alot of medication. I love having him because it means we can enjoy spending time together with an animal. I worked in a veterinary practise for two years before getting pregnant because animals is a big passion. I was training to be a vet nurse before having my son, Joey. The opportunity to house sit and spend time with your pets means we can enjoy our travel lifestyle whilst pursuing our passion with animals. In the last 10 years we've been all over the world and enjoyed time together with a variety of animals including dogs, cats. I love the fact that we can actually relax in a home environment with your furry family members. Last year we lived in Brazil and rescued a sick dog and 5 abandoned kittens from the streets, we nursed them to health and they became part of the family, which is why it was tough letting them go, but our goal was to find loving new homes for them which we managed to do. I host Air Bnb and stay in mainly Airbnbs at the moment when away, therefore know the responsibility of looking after someone else home, I have also made some great friends through this site. Hello there! My name is Cara. I currently work remotely as an online tutor, but I love languages and art and nature. Working from home, means lots of flexibility and time with your furry family members! I am a big animal lover and have always had them in my life. Although exploring new places means we can't have a furry family member full time, we have looked after dogs, cats. I rescued a dog and 5 kittens from the streets of Brazil when living there last year and successfully re-homed them. We will be sure to update you with lots of pictures. Being outdoors is my favourite hobby and sharing that experience together with an animal is something we thrive on. Looking forward to meeting you and you furry/ or not animal family members soon! Cara and Joey You pets will be welcomed into my home and will enjoy every minute here. Lots of country side in our quiet village and as I work from home, they will have plenty of time with me.

About: Grew up on a family farm, so know plenty how to look after animals. Neighbours have relied on me to look after their animals whilst on holidays. I work between 5-7 days a week shift depending, I’m in management so I have to fill in for others a lot too. That being said I only do short days so it accommodates work life balance well so there’s ways of organising pet sitting. I also get my rotas up to 6 weeks in advance so there’s always knowing when I’m available at the drop of a hat. Whilst I may not offer pets to stay with me, if they’re under my care they’re well looked after. They’re walked, played with and made to feel included

“Ana met our Jack Russell/Staffy cross, Brian, this week for the first time and then took him out for a couple of walks. It was obvious immediately that she's comfortable around dogs and we were confident that he was in good hands as it takes Brian time to trust new people. Ana worked with this and came up with helpful suggestions for walk no 2 that proved successful. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Ana to others and we hope to book her again soon : )”

I own two dogs, one cat and two horses, some of whom you can see on my profile! I would definitely say that I am an animal person haha!

I am more than happy to do drop-ins for cats to feed and top up their water when needed if you don’t need me to stay over night! If you have any other small pets, I'm more than happy and experienced in looking after them for you whilst you're away (I grew up with mice, rabbits and Giant African Snails)! If you have horses, there is no need to put them into livery either, as I can look after them too when you go away! A bit about myself: I work from home which fits in great with dog sitting, as all I have to do is remember to bring my laptop with me! Don't worry, your pets will get plenty of exercise, socialisation and of course lots of love and care with me! Working from home means I am able to be around your pets all day, as long as I remember to bring my laptop with me! Our home has a fully secure terraced garden with 6ft+ old stone walls, so there is no escaping! We have many wonderful walks on our doorstep and our house location is quiet and safe. We take the dogs on secure, off-road country walks, and especially enjoy going for walks in the woods!
