About: I have cared for animals from a young age, growing up with cats as beloved family pets. Over the years, I have developed a deep understanding of feline behavior and needs through my experience with a wide variety of pets, including cats, dogs, rabbits, rodents, and reptiles. My work at an animal rescue center, caring for larger animals like horses, goats, and chickens—many with anxiety or behavioral issues—has strengthened my patience and attention to individual needs. When it comes to cats, I take the time to understand each one's unique personality and offer the same love and attention I would give my own. Whether it’s playing, grooming, or administering medication, I’m committed to ensuring your pet feels comfortable and well cared for. I currently work remotely on a flexible schedule so I can do pop-in visits to suit you and your pet. Evening and mornings work best but day visits can be arranged. The services I offer are entirely tailored to you and your cat's specific needs. Trust is the foundation of any pet care service, and your cat’s safety and security are my top priorities. I will carefully follow your instructions, whether it's maintaining their routine, administering medication, or ensuring they feel comfortable and secure in their home environment. You can count on me to provide attentive, reliable care, giving you peace of mind that your cat is in safe hands during each visit.
“Sarah has done an amazing job of looking after my two cats She was so reliable and always on hand with any queries I had. Sarah kept me updated with photos and general info. She went above and beyond and I'm truly grateful finding her. Thank you Sarah 🥰”
“Phillipa did a fabulous job of looking after our 2 cats. She is instantly likeable and it was obvious our cats thought so too. The daily WhatsApp pictures and videos gave us great piece of mind. We could not recommend her highly enough and we will definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, from puppies to reactive rescues. I appreciate that every dog is different and wants a different level of love and attention. I live an active lifestyle so if your dog loves adventures (and doesn’t mind the car) I’d be more than happy to take them along. As I said, I have it on good authority that I’m great at fetch… I have the luxury of a work from home role. This means I can be available for your pet all day. I love a lunchtime/after work walk and to read in the evenings - especially if there’s a pooch to cuddle while I do. I can do home visits before your booking to meet your pet with you so they’re used to me. Additionally this gives us time to tour any off-limit rooms for me and the pets as well as crating them if necessary.
“This is the first time we used a professional cat sitter. We felt reassured from our first meeting with Fernanda to the photo and video updates during her visits. Myra was looked after very well and despite being shy, she quickly warmed to her and enjoyed the company. Thank you!”
“Another great visit from Amy who is helping do drop ins with our little puppy! She’s very reliable and has such a lovely way about her when Sandy. She’s even been able to do emergency drop ins when needed! Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve been an avid animal lover as long as I can remember, having owned my own dog since age 7 and cat since age 16 I have grown to learn more and more every day. I have dog walked and sat for many friends, family and neighbours before as well as having completed a year of work experience at a veterinary practice where I came in contact with every breed, size, shape and temperament of both dogs and cats! This valuable experience has helped me develop my knowledge in pet care and stimulation. Looking after my dog in his last senior years also taught me what senior dogs need, as well as good medication taking techniques. I have done many dog training classes before in a rang of areas including obedience and agility. My passion lies with animals and always will, I thrive in giving pets what they deserve! I’m currently working 8-5pm Mon - Thurs and 8-1pm on a Friday. This allows me to be free on weekends, Friday afternoons as well as both early mornings and late evenings in the week. I drive and own my own car meaning transport is not an issue. I have a large semi-enclosed garden and field with many areas for your dogs to explore and run! I myself am an avid hiker, meaning I know many nice areas for your dogs to go as well as loving to take them on the long, stimulating walks they deserve.
“Oliver had a lovely time being cared for by Jess!! She took the time to meet him beforehand and he immediately took to her which was reassuring, and that was before any treats had even come out!! I received lovely updates and heard that there was lots of playtime and some treats which he loved. I came home to a very happy cat, will definitely rebook!! Thank you, Jess :)”
“We were really pleased to have Gemma looking after Teddy and Betty for their evening feed and Teddy's insulin jab. They are both nervous cats, Teddy in particular but Gemma put them both at ease. Gemma was friendly, professional and gave us updates on the evening. We will definitely book with her again ”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have always loved caring for them. I’ve had cats since I was young, rescued 3 lovely dogs, worked at a dog daycare in London, and volunteered at dog kennels, so your pets will be in experienced and loving hands 😊 I’ve just moved back from London to be with family and my aim is to do dog walking/sitting full time so my availability is very flexible, I can be free in the week and on weekends. I currently live in a lovely home with my mum with a fenced off garden for your dog to run around, and spaces in the home for your dog to rest and relax! If you need me to come to your home that’s no problem
About: I have adored and been around dogs all my life , both mine own and other dogs I've been trusted to look after. I'm experience handling breeds of all sizes and temperaments. From puppies to elderly dogs needing special care, . I have attended dog training and behaviour sessions in order to better understand individual and varieties of dog personalities and there needs. I currently work part time in a shop, but its only one day a week 12-4ish so still plenty of time or visits and walks. Apart from that im a practicing artist and writer working from home, so am available and happy to look after a dog most of the time. My own dog lives in my home so it is a dog-proof and safe place, my dog is a very friendly young spaniel, so if you dog needed to come to my house that would be no problem at all. However i would be inclined to want to look after a dog in its own home to avoid them becoming anxious or overwhelming both dogs. Also having a dog myself means i know some good walking spots and where its safe to let them off leads!

We offer plenty of enrichment for those unbearable hot days where it's not safe to take out for walks due to the heat. I have plenty of time,energy to spend with my own girls who love to spend time with newbie playmates. Ball chucks and long walks are a must in our daily routine. I also hold a Enhanced DBS as I volunteer craft days for the local council and also do Facepainting for children, my calendar fits around these activities.
About: I have lots of spare time and am available at short notice for dog walks and pet sitting and drop ins. I love dogs and cats as I have grown up with them and I am very trustworthy and reliable.Look forward to meeting you all🐾 I currently have lots of spare time so I am very flexible and have lots of time to take care of your pets at short notice!

“Everything went very well indeed with Pippa looking after Maisie whilst I was away. Pippa administered her daily medicine perfectly, and Maisie was happy and relaxed on my return. Thank you again. ”

Phillipa has been fantastic with our old chap. We received pictures of him every day so all the feels for her. We felt confident that he was in safe hands. This was a great relief to us as and we would highly recommend her as a friend to look after your family pets. Phillipa made sure he had his meds and special diet and dealt with everything we needed for him. I was very confident as soon as she met our cat as it was obvious they were going to get on. A big thank you from us all.
Gemma was absolutely wonderful looking after our cats. She kept us updated with photos and videos, which was so reassuring while we were away. One of our cats is quite nervous and usually very unsure with new people, so we were a bit worried about how she’d cope. But Gemma was so gentle and patient with her, and we came home to a calm and happy Luna. Both cats were content and relaxed upon our return, not to mention our home being kept spotless. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Gemma again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter!
Amy connected with Bob really well. We were very relieved as, although timid, he can be fiesty and prone to nips and claws! She sent a message and videos after every visit which was great and very reassuring. He really liked Amy and even allowed head rubs! She really is a cat whisperer. Bob is an older cat now and Amy did not mind clearing up after him with his runny poos! A bonus. We will definitely invite Amy to look after Bob again and He is in total agreement as he loved all the treats and fuss she gave him! 😺😻😹
