“Really happy with the care my cats got while I was away for the weekend. I got lovely updates and videos which made me feel so much better about being away, and it was obvious they were well looked after and given lots of attention. I came home to two happy, relaxed cats and everything was exactly as it should be. Would definitely book again and happily recommend!”

About: Always been around pets, especially dogs, since childhood. Absolutely love animals, and so does the wife. Both now semi-retired so we are looking to fill our time by doing something we love. Looked after friends and family pets previously… the longest stint being a Victorian Bulldog that we looked after for 7 months! The wife and I are semi-retired. I’m 46 years old and she’s slightly older. Both fit and healthy and love animals and being outdoor and active. Fenced off back garden. Live in a fantastic rural area with plenty of countryside to explore. I’ve been walking 10 miles a day for 27 years as a postman, all weather, so your dog will be in for a treat.
“Alison confirmed her drop-ins quickly which I booked very last minute while abroad. 10/10 service and trusted with house key. I can highly recommend Alison for an excellent service.”

“This is the first time I left my cats with anyone other than family. I didn’t need to worry. Brontë sent me photos and updated me after each visit. The cats obviously loved her as they came out from under the bed for cuddles. Could not recommend Brontë more and will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“Delenn was great at taking care of our cat Ian, communication was quick and pleasant, we had photo updates. I felt safe leaving Ian with her. Would definitely ask for her help again. Thank you!”

About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals, with most of my hands-on work involving dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, and fish. I’ve also spent time caring for or working around animals like horses, pigs, sheep, birds (including chickens, quail, ducks, geese, budgies, parrots, owls, and pigeons), reptiles (corn snakes and geckos), and even tarantulas. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and needs, including those with medical or behavioural challenges, as long as I have clear guidance on their routines. My experience includes: • Administering medication to both cats and dogs, including insulin injections for diabetic dogs • Following any strict dietary and exercise routines prescribed. • Caring for a large rescue Alaskan Malamute with behavioural issues. • Bathing and grooming various dogs and cats when needed. • Knowledge and experience using positive reinforcement training principles (so can support your pet’s routine and any training goals with consistency and understanding) What sets me apart is my MSc in Animal Behaviour, which gives me a solid foundation in animal psychology, body language, and wellbeing. I’m calm, observant, and always attuned to each animal’s unique personality and comfort. I’m open to working with any species and will always be upfront about my experience. I’ll only take on a job if I’m confident I can give your pet the highest standard of care. I also have some photography and videography experience through working as a content creator, so if you would like regular updates sent i can also include clear, cute photos and videos of your pets too if you are happy with that! I currently work part-time and mostly from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m happy to help with early mornings, late evenings, or anything in between. Just let me know your pet’s routine and specific needs and I’ll always do my best to accommodate. I prioritise each pet’s comfort and care over taking on too many jobs. If I’ve committed to being available at a certain time for your pet, you can trust that I’ll remain available and focused during that time. I’m happy to care for pets either in your home or mine, depending on what works best for your pet’s comfort and routine. I live with two other adults in a two-bedroom house with a private, fenced garden. The fencing is currently 4ft high, so garden access will be carefully managed based on your pet’s size, behaviour, and needs. Pets in my care will always be supervised when in the garden, and I’m happy to follow your preferences for on or off lead time. Indoors, pets can enjoy a calm, cosy environment with access to the house depending on their needs and personality. I also live near lovely walking routes for regular outdoor enrichment. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priority, and I’ll always do my best to match their usual routines and provide a safe, nurturing environment.

“First time me booking with them, they showed up 2 minutes early ! Shocking I know , actually got Luna to show her face what was a surprise and sent me some photos what was nice and did everything on the list I asked them to do . They took their shoes off as they came in the house what a crazy amount of people don’t do these days ! 10/10 would book again”

“Leia was brilliant . I was very anxious about leaving my cat for first time since the death of his best feline friend, they were a bonded pair. Leia was so supportive and very kind and friendly. I relaxed as soon as I met her and new she'd take good care of him, which she did. She kept in touch , sent regular messages so I knew all was ok, so was able to enjoy my holiday. Leia is very consensus and did a brilliant job, always on time and took great care of my cat. Thank you so much Leia.”

“Jodie was once again an excellent pet sitter for Pisco. Pisco got a small wound, and Jodie immediately offered to take care of it, as well as keeping him entertained while we were away. We’re very grateful for all the care Jodie provided.”


About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends for a few years now and even helped my roommate raise her kitten including flee treatment and litter training. I’ve had experience pet sitting for multiple pets at once both cats and dogs and overall love spending time with and taking care of cats and dogs alike. I am currently a uni student. I have full time availability, from Monday to Sunday, days and nights until October for the summer holidays where I will be back to part time availability I have stayed overnight at friend’s houses before to pet sit for both cats and dogs. Keeping an eye on multiple pets at a time and making sure they were well fed and entertained and being able to multitask responsibilities such as dog walking whilst making sure the cat was safe at home whilst we were out. I also have experience helping my roommate raise her kitten and keeping him company whilst my roommate was out including feeding him, cleaning out the litter tray or just playing with him so he had some company.
“Arranged a couple of drop in visits at home for our bull terrier Daisy whilst we attended a wedding for the day. Emmie called in as planned and ensured Daisy had a couple of walks/toilet breaks and was fed. Kept in touch during the day and sent pics”

“Antonia is wonderful. We had daily pictures and reports of our Milly and everyone shoes a very happy cat. We came home to her feeding area cleaned and organised and more importantly a cat who looked disappointed to see us and not Antonia! Highly recommend Antonia to anyone wanting their fur baby cared for.”

About: I have owned dogs since they were born so have vast experience. I have looked after them from puppies until end of life. I much prefer animals to humans. I am DBS checked so you know your animals are in safe hands I am fully flexible with care! I’m self employed in my day job so am able to work around you! I can fit in walks or sits which work round you! I have a fenced front and back yard. I have children who know how to behave around dogs. I will treat your dog as I do my own (spoilt)
“Anna did a great job popping in on my doggies at short notice on a bank holiday weekend! She was friendly and reliable and they were clearly in good hands! Thank you Anna! Would happily recommend and book her again! :)”

About: I have been lucky enough to grow up with a number of different pets including gerbils, budgies, dogs and cats. In the past few years I have got my own pets. We have a cat called Tim and a dog called Lockie. Apart from puppy classes I did alot of Lockie's training myself. I currently work shifts twice a week. The shift days vary each week so I'm at home most of the time. My husband also works from home 3 days a week and works around my shifts so there is always someone home. I live in a house but pets are not allowed upstairs. I do have a baby gate and door which can separate the kitchen from the living room. I also have a fenced garden to play lots of games and to toilet. I can leave the kitchen door open and they can roam freely inside and out. I would like a meet and greet before your dog comes to stay to make sure they get along with Lockie
“Rebecca is fantastic - keeps our dog entertained even when he is upset about my husband not being about. Rebecca has taken him on walks long enough to tire him, and sends pictures etc. - her communication throughout has been great. I would definitely recommend Rebecca.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and animals ever since I was 10 and have extensive experience with dogs, guinea pigs and cats! I’m student vet nurse aiming to be a vet in the future. I have extensive knowledge on small animal behaviour and have loved animals ever since I was a kid; I’ve even worked with exotic animals <3 I study online during periods of time and go to the vets around 6 weeks at a time so I can be quite busy, My availability for this year is on the calendar and I am also getting booked quickly for summer so please don’t hesitate to message me! I am also available during bank holidays and other holidays (e.g Christmas, Easter, New years) and I’m always available on weekends :) I like getting to know your pet beforehand as well as knowing their day routine so I can follow it as close to you as possible! Having a routine is essential to make your pets comfortable and happy. I’d also like to mention that I have a reactive dog who is around 25 kgs so I know what it’s like to go on hard walks and I’m comfortable with this.
