Catherine was perfect for my cats. Very reliable and did everything I requested. The most important thing to note is the she actually cares about animals, this was clearly evident on our first meeting, the cats loved her.

About: I am a serving Military Working Dog handler, I lead an active life style and love being outside. I have worked with high drive dogs for over 6 years, abroad and in England sometimes deployed in austere conditions so fully understand the care and attention your dogs need and deserve. I currently work full time, however this is only a 5 minute drive away from my home. I can return every 2 hours, expect lots of play and long walks that already fit into an active lifestyle. I have a fenced garden and secure gate and the local area provides great walking routes for social dogs or those that require a quieter route.

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: Free Meet and Greet with you and your pet. ~Provide fresh food and water daily. Also an excellent treat giver. ~Will clean bowls and litter trays as necessary. ~ Can administer oral medication ~Loves to play and gives amazing fusses. ~Will send daily updates. ~Very careful and respectful towards pets and their owners. I usually work visits/walking into before and after work. I sometimes work from home so can factor this in too. At the weekends my children like to come on walks too. I ensure pets are only in areas that are secure and agreed with the owners. When out walking I keep the dog on a lead, however I also use a "freedom field " on occasion for a safe of lead run.

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

Angie was absolutely amazing with our cat Chandler. From the very first visit, it was clear she genuinely cares and takes her responsibility seriously. She kept us updated during every drop-in with messages and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Chandler was clearly comfortable and well looked after, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. We would 100% book Angie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful sitter.

From talking to Helen it seems I am one of her first customers but if she continues with marley as she does I can see that it would be difficult to book her because she goes above and beyond, helen turned up as planned to introduce marley to her and the following day arrived on time and spent way more time with him than what I had paid for and the very next day helen did exactly the same,she constantly keeps in touch and to be far marley seems a much happier boy when I get in from work. Without doubt I will be booking her as and when I need her but her love for dogs is unbelievable and couldn't wish for anyone better so if your looking for the perfect dog sitter then look no further because after a few days your review will be exactly the same as mine so helen from marley and me your outstanding ❤️

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and have always been a big animal lover. I always am first to volunteer to look after family & friends dogs - I have a lot of love to give! I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement, which I use to help dogs feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s energetic puppies who need structure or older dogs who need gentler care, I know how to adapt to their needs. Having raised two dogs of my own with my parents, I treat every pup as if they’re family ◡̈ Right now, I do work a 8.30-5 Mon-Fri job, however I can give your pets plenty of time and attention when I am not working whether that be in the evenings or at weekends. I love spending time with animals, please message me if you would like my help and we can discuss! Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or longer visits, I can be there when you and your pets need me most. I’m more than happy to look after your pets in the comfort of their home. This way, they can stay in a familiar environment and keep to their usual routine. I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise with walks in their local area, along with playtime, cuddles, feeding, and anything else they need to feel safe and happy while you’re away.
