About: Hi, my name is Alicja, I'm 26 years old, energetic young lady who love all animals. I have always been accompanied by animals in my life, from hamsters, through cats, to dogs. My advantage is that I treat every animal as my own and my cats are very important to me, like children. I'm a cat mom of three beautiful cat girls: Kasia born on 28.06.2019 Blue born on 23.04.2020 Toffee born on 12.10.2022 As a dog sitter I can take your baby for a walk, feed, treat, cuddle or just spend a time with him. We've had dogs in our house for as long as I can remember. When I was a little kid we had a German shepherd, then mongrels, and my last dog was a half pekingese named Daisy who sadly crossed the rainbow bridge three years ago. Since then I live only with cats, which doesn't prevent me from building a great bond with dogs 🐕 During the visit, I will also take a photo 📸 that I will send to the owner to show that everything is fine with your fur baby 🐕 I'm self employed with my little business named Pink Cat Cleaning. I finished courses about cats psychology and behavior because I would like to be a full time cat behaviorist and sitter (also for dogs). No matter what kind of furrbaby do you have I'm treating them equal, all the animals are like a family member for me. For now I'm not providing services in my house as one of my cat doesn't feel comfortable with the stranges

About: I’ve been a dog owner since I was 10. Always had rescue dogs that came with their own history, so no issue is too much that I haven’t dealt with already! The most important aspect for any dog is to just be kind and gentle with our furry companions. I’m self employed and in full time training. Most of my work happens on the weekends and training in the evenings. So looking to fill my week days. I’ll give your pets the company, fusses and toilet breaks! They need to just break up the day a bit before you come back home.

About: I’ve grown up with big dogs, red setters and poodle crosses and have always loved their company. I currently have a very flexible job so can work from home, am happy to house sit whilst looking after animals if needed. I have grown up with two big dogs of my own so am comfortable walking and caring for multiple dogs if needed! My work is very flexible so can work from home either at the house or can pop round as many times as required in the day. I am unable to dog sit in my own home due to restrictions from my land lord but have experience dog sitting in homes, I like to make sure the dogs are comfortable with me.

About: Regular dog sitter & walker. Experienced Behaviourist expert. Small & big dogs, all breeds welcomed. Here to help, 5 star rated, get in touch 🐶🐾🐕 The dog/pet will always come first with 24/7 attention. Regular toilet breaks. Plenty walks, food/water on time & attention at night if required. Will love its time with me. I have a fenced, well maintained garden area. Clean & tidy house. I can look after the dog inside, dog sit, daily day care or overnight/weekly stays.

About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for cats, having raised and looked after multiple cats since I was a teenager. For the past 12 years, I have also worked as a pet sitter, looking after a variety of pets including cats, dogs, and small animals. I understand feline behaviour, routines, and health needs very well — including how to care for senior cats, administer basic medication, and recognise signs of stress or illness early. My experience as a sitter has also taught me how to adapt to different pets’ personalities and build trust quickly. My approach is calm, gentle, and patient. I treat every pet as if they were my own. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of animals’ emotional needs, especially for cats who may be shy, anxious, or elderly. I’m happy to offer regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind while they’re away. I am fluent in Cantonese (廣東話). I’m happy to communicate in whichever language you’re most comfortable with – perfect for Cantonese-speaking pet owners!

Feel free to message me to check availability in your area! My schedule is very flexible, and I’m happy to fit pet care around your needs. I’m available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays — just let me know what works best for you, and I’ll do my best to accommodate. I always put safety and trust first when caring for pets. If I’m visiting your home, I will respect your space and follow all your instructions carefully – from feeding and cleaning to playtime and medication if needed. I keep the environment calm, clean, and stress-free for your pet. I also make sure doors and gates are securely closed, and I double-check everything before leaving. You’re welcome to provide any specific guidelines, and I’m happy to send photo or video updates for peace of mind.

“What an absolute blessing Nick was. I've got a new puppy, and leaving him with someone for the first time felt scary but I felt comfortable and reassured from the second I met him. He was fantastic with my dog, giving him plenty of attention and taking the time to understand his needs as a puppy. Was so confident leaving him to housesit for a few hours and he kindly provided updates so I could enjoy my time out worry free. Will definitely rebook”

Millicent I.
“Millicent is truly a gem when it comes to caring for pets. She’s incredibly attentive, reliable, and genuinely loves animals. I’ve seen firsthand how patient and nurturing she is, always making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy in her care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship, she gives each animal her full attention. I would trust her with any pet without hesitation—she’s the kind of person who makes both pets and their owners feel at ease. You won’t find a more caring or responsible pet sitter! – Karis”

She regularly takes sole charge of my two large Irish Doodles (red setter/poodle crosses) and I always know they are in safe and capable hands.”
