“We had a great experience with our Aliyah! She followed all our instructions carefully and looked after our cats wonderfully. It was such a relief to know they were in safe hands while we were away. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and everything was just as we left it. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”


“Kerenza was a great help taking care of our cat Sushi when we had to be away for the day while she was recovering from surgery with a feeding tube and medication. Her vet training meant that we could depend on her to administer the food and medication properly. It took so much of the stress out of having to be away for the day. I really appreciated Kerenza’s knowledge, reliability, and caring approach and highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs!”


“Emma and her family were great during a late notice cat sitting for our old cat with several medical requirements! I was at ease with lots of updates and really happy with everything thanks so much!”


“Wendy was lovely, very professional and accommodating. I really appreciated the updates on visits and photos of my pet. It was good to know my cat was in safe hands. I'll for sure be relying on Wendy again!”


“Emma is an amazing petsitter. Very good communication before and during the time she spent with our both dogs, sending us updates and pictures. We felt very comfortable leaving the dogs with her. 100% recommended!”


“Kirsty was happy to come and check in on my puppy at short notice, and seemed to leave him very happy! We were comfortable having Kirsty in the house, and she seemed great around my dog. I will reach out again if required☺️ We also got loads of photos and very detailed feedback as to what happened during the visit.”

About: Trusted by 30+ owners. Cared for 50+ pets. Dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, fishes and even a snake. Whether your pet is elderly, young, recovering from an injury or dealing with anxiety, I can provide the quality care needed to give you peace of mind. I've always had a soft spot for animals, but it wasnt until a pet sit for my cousin in 2022 that I decided to go all in on pet sitting as something to pursue alongside my studies. As I live right in the middle of Nottingham City, I have good access to the surrounding areas and am available at short notice. I have an Enchanced DBS certificate (highest clearance) available at request. The nature of my course means I can study anywhere with good wifi. Send me a request and I'll let you know promptly if I'm available. I have experience with young pups still potty training, elderly dogs and dogs recovering from injury. As I live in private accommodation I cannot dog sit in my home (Dog boarding).

“Our ex-racer, Bea, is very anxious outside the house and despises getting into cars however doesn't mind being left alone at home. When I had to go away for 4 days, having someone drop into her a few times in the day for toilet breaks, food & medications, and company was the perfect solution. I had never used Rover before. Laura and Tim were very quick to respond to my request and arranged to call over to meet Bea first. Bea had a wonderful time, I loved recieving the picture updates of her (predominantly snoozing and snuffling) and I felt relaxed knowing she was in safe hands! Thank you so much both.”
