Cat Sitting Shipston-on-Stour

“I can’t recommend Laura highly enough! She looked after my cat while I was away for a week, visiting multiple times a day, and took such wonderful care of her. My cat is quite timid, so I was naturally nervous about leaving her, but Laura was incredibly patient and kind. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much reassurance, and it was lovely to hear how well my cat had settled with her. Laura is reliable, caring and clearly loves animals. Knowing my cat was in such safe hands meant I could relax and enjoy my holiday. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Laura again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic pet sitter.”

About: PLEASE NOTE: I am only offering boarding and day care in the dog owners home, in effect, I would also be house sitting for the dog owner. PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately I don't drive and can only take requests from dog owners who live near a bus route or train station. I have always had an affinity with dogs; or rather they have an affinity with me! Dogs I have never met before always bound up to me and want to play! I have a very calm and patient personality which I think dogs pick up on. This in turn calms them and makes them feel comfortable. I am also an artist and a lover of the outdoors, which means I am always aware of my surroundings, taking in information that could inform my art as well as the surroundings the dog is in - I take my time whilst walking dogs as it's important for them to explore the environment they are most comfortable in - the outdoors. I work part-time so I will be able to work round people's individual needs. I will block off on my calendar when I am unavailable I always follow sitters specific instructions regarding how well their dogs are around other people, other dogs and stick to specific areas permitted by the owner.

“Annie was absolutely lovely with my cat. Very attentive and caring, and she got many lovely photos from the days she visited. I'd highly recommend her, and will definitely be using her services again in the future 😁”

“Victoria was wonderful with both our cat, Koji, and our rabbit, Bramble. She was very happy to give Koji his supplements and kept a close eye on Bramble for me due to her having just had her vaccines. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Olivia is amazing with our Labrador puppy Maverick, she drops in a couple of times a week with him and tires him out so he naps during the day. He absolutely loves her and you can tell she treats the dogs as her own. Constant updates and feedback on how he got on was sent too which was really appreciated. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had dogs of my own since the age of 9 and cats all my life. I can administer oral medication, ear drops etc. I have experience training puppies and caring for kittens while also having experience of senior dogs and cats and all stages in-between! I am currently self employed so have free time in my mornings and afternoons to care for your cats and dogs daily needs. Please let me know what times your pet is usually fed and I will accommodate as best as I can whilst also providing all the love, play and cuddles that they would like! Your pet’s happiness is my priority whilst you’re away from home so please let me know of any daily habits/routines that your cat/s and dog/s must stick to (as we know cats in particular love to do!!). I’d love as much detail on your pet’s feeding routine, habits and ways to make them feel as comfortable as possible whilst you’re away.

“Sian was amazing, we are very grateful to her for taking such wonderful care of our two cats. She used the drop in logging and visit report features really well, so we felt really well informed, and her communication was excellent. When we got home the cats weren’t bothered, which must be a sign of how well looked after they felt 😂 thanks again Sian!”

“Bhasuri saved us when our prior arrangements fell through last minute. She was amazing! Communicated consistently throughout the entire booking. Came home to a happy boy. Will definitely book again.”

About: Most recently I’ve been a dog sitter for Estelle Manor hotel & members club. I’ve cared for both puppies and adult dogs and understand how different their needs can be. I raised a show dog and grew up supporting rescue puppies, so being around dogs has always felt natural to me. I’m calm, patient and attentive, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I currently have full availability white I take a hiatus from the 9-5, which allows plenty of one to one attention with your pup. I'm flexible with routines and can adapt to what your dog is used to at home. I have a fenced garden and a spacious ground floor for your dog to explore. Dogs are welcome upstairs too, with a comfy bed downstairs for elderly pups or those new to stairs. Lots of walks through the village and Fields to keep them exercised while you’re away.

“Steph was brilliant! Reliable, punctual, great commission. And even spent time with Eiva doing some agility training using the apparatus we had in the garden and sent us some videos.”

About: I'm a genuine animal lover who works from home, so your pet will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. I share my home with my friendly 18month old spade female Cockalier and my laid back 5 year-old male cat, both of whom are used to being around other animals. We have a 2 bedroom house in the countryside an has a large, secure garden for playtime and exploring, and I guarantee at least two walks every day, tailored to your dog's energy levels and routine. I aim to provide a relaxed, home-from-home environment where pets feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether your dog enjoys playing, snoozing on the sofa, or receiving lots of fuss and cuddles, they'll be treated like part of the family. Of course, there will also be plenty of treats (with your permission!) and regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. We take out spaniel out for a long field based walk every morning and then start work for 9am in my office. I take regular breaks to play in the garden or cuddle on the sofa. We usually have an afternoon walk around the neighborhood before finishing work at around 5pm and the evening is available for all pets and guests. Offering pet sitting services in a client's home would not be a problem if I can work intermittently on my laptop throughout the day. We have no regular commitments at the weekend so often find new dog friendly cafes, walks and places to visit. Our dog is secured in her crate at night in my office, and our cat has the use of the kitchen and utility and will be outside most of the day. We have a high fenced garden, with a large patio area and large grass area. A large open plan kitchen/living room, utility and office. And 2 bedrooms upstairs. Pets are welcome to the whole house including beds and furniture. Feeding, walks and nighttime routine can all be customised and followed by owners preferences.

“Bethany looked after our three cats while we were away for a few days. She kept us informed after every visit and included many photos, which was reassuring. We would certainly ask her next time we plan to be away.”

About: With over a decade of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I have developed a deep understanding of their needs and personalities. Neighbors, friends, and family have consistently trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and nurture their pets with love and dedication. My experience even includes assisting with the delivery of a litter of puppies, which further strengthened my commitment to providing exceptional care. I take pride in creating a safe, engaging, and loving environment for every pet I look after, ensuring they feel at home and cared for in my presence. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m here to make sure your furry family members are happy, healthy, and well-loved. I have plenty of time to walk your dog in my schedule and I live close to parks and walks that your dog will love. I have a secure property so you don’t need to worry your dog will be safe and well cared for during its time in my care.

“Laura arrived at the agreed time for a drop in visit, followed entry instructions gave our dogs plenty of time and sent us photographs of them in our garden. When she left the dogs were secured and the house locked properly. Many thanks. A good job done.”

About: I have had pets my whole life and looked after family, friends and strangers animals for over 10 years. I believe all animals deserve the best care from their owners and/ or pet sitters. I have experience administrating/ injecting diabetes medication for dogs and have looked after deaf, blind, big or small dogs. I’m currently working part time, so roughly 3 to 4 hours a day so pet care works really well with my schedule as there is no long periods where they are left alone! I have a secured garden where my own dog roams and has not managed to escape for 10 years! There is grass and lots of various things for them to sniff around and explore.

About: My mother started a non profit rescue organization, for abused & neglected dogs back in South Africa when I was just 11.

I have experience in bottle feeding, inoculations, first aid, new borns, seniors & even dogs with different disabilities. Growing up I lived with an average of 30 plus dogs at once, coming in & out as we nursed them back to health & found them forever families.

Have had my own reactive dog walking business for over 4 years now & love getting to work with all sorts of breeds I’m currently studying online & work mornings from 05:00- 8:30 am Monday- Saturday. I do not work weekends unless I’m house sitting. But other than that I’m available between my online lessons throughout the day from 9-5 Monday to Fridays. I treat your fur babies as if they my own. Obviously depending on different house rules, I usually tend to allow the dogs to sleep on the bed with me. My main priority at the end of the day is to make sure your fur babies are safe & comfortable.
