About: My name is Jessica, I’m 25 years old and currently work in a genomics laboratory😊 I am the biggest animal lover EVER & have always grown up around animals so am comfortable with furbabies and their different personalities! I have 3 cats and 2 dogs of my own, Tilly Nacho and Gizmo🐱 alongside Bella and Molly🐶 Looking to earn a little extra money by helping out in looking after any pets that may require my services😍 I am a patient care giver & would take the time to get to know your pets so we are both comfortable 😌 I have plenty of evening and early morning availability, can also pop in and out over weekends when I’m free if needed. Love spending as much of my free time with animals as possible so this works out great for me! I’ll always ensure windows/doors are secured if your cats are indoor only. I know some cats are a little adventurous at the best of times so as much info about your kitty’s would be great to better my understanding of how to care for them. I love long beach walks and throwing a ball for my dogs so if this is something that sounds like your pet would enjoy, I’d be more than happy to cater for this!
“Jessica took excellent care of our older Staffy during her 4-night/5-day stay in our home. He requires medication and had a slight limp (caused by a little too much running on the beach), so he needed a little extra attention and care. Jessica was gentle, attentive, and clearly mindful of his needs throughout. She managed his medications reliably, ensured he was comfortable, and was sensible about taking him for walks when he was up to them. We returned to a happy, relaxed dog. We would be happy to have Jessica care for him again and would confidently recommend her to others.”

About: I have taken care of animals since the age of 5. I have cared for fish, hamsters, rabbits, Guinea pigs, dogs, cats, horses, large animals/ farm animals and exotic pets. I am an animal loving person, and have just completed a college course in Veterinary Care and Animal Welfare. I have taken care of elderly pets and young pets and have a good range of experience with lots of different types of animals. I have worked with farm animals, small animals, and cats and dogs. I have also cared for exotic animals before I am currently actively searching for a job as a Veterinary Care Assistant, and during this time I have spare right now I would love to use it to care for animals. I’m available everyday at anytime. I currently have 2 dogs at home so I am hesitant to take care of pets in my house but can discuss this on a case to case basis. I have experience with a range of animals and breeds and have previously looked after family and friends animals in their own homes so I understand what it is like to care for animals and how to look after them in other peoples home, I have also taken care of dogs with behaviour issues.
“Denise and her partner were great sitters and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Our dog and cat were very happy with them, and Denise sent us daily updates. The house was spotless when we returned - the bedding was even laundered and fresh towels put in the bathroom. They even thought to leave us bread, milk and butter. So thoughtful, communication was excellent and it felt good to know our home and pets were so well looked after.”

About: I’ve spent my whole life around dogs, from family pets to working farm dogs and caring for dogs in a dog day care. With a canine first aid certificate and hands-on experience, I provide safe, loving, and expert care that goes above and beyond. I work a 4 on 4 off rota and during my days off, your pups have all my attention! Whether it’s an adventure to the beach or a night in watching movies, I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my time. My house has a large enclosed front and back garden with a fox red crazy lab boy to keep your dog entertained. In your own home, I will respect all wishes and play where your pup is allowed to play!

“Jennifer is just THE BEST. We booked her to stay in our home with our dog, a staffie named Ringo, for two weeks and we could not have asked for a better experience. She visited us not once but twice (at our request) prior to the booking to ensure we were confident and comfortable. Ringo had the time of his life with Jennifer. She took him on so many walking adventures – and she provided photos and videos of them every single day. Ringo says she was a magnificent cuddler, too. In the past, we kennelled him at a “luxury” kennel but we worried about how much time he was spending alone. It always put a damper on our trips away as we worried about him and this time, we had no worries at all. Jennifer communicated with us multiple times each day. There were a couple of unexpected events (power outage for one) and Jennifer handled them with grace. We were relaxed and happy because we knew Ringo was, too.”

“Taya was absolutely fantastic stepping in last minute before I went away on holiday. She went above and beyond and really appreciated everything she did while I was away. Poppy is a very fussy, stubborn dog and not sure of strangers but Taya had sat for poppy before so was pleased I could book her again. I felt happy and confident that poppy was getting on fab while away with all the updates and a surprise that she was eating her food as she is usually stubborn and can go days without eating so I knew that she was very relaxed and comfortable with Taya when she told me she was eating. Absolutely amazing experience with Taya, would recommend 100%.”

“I had not engaged a complete stranger to look after my animals before and did have worries about doing so but after meeting Emma my worries vanished. She looked after my 4 dogs, 14 chickens, plant pots and house. I had left loads of instructions and she followed every one to the letter. Everything was perfect when we arrived back, no issues whatsoever. The dogs were happy, the hens were happy, the house was clean, the planters were blooming and she had brushed the dogs. Emma is totally trustworthy and a lovely person to have in the house. When we go away again she will be the one we call on. Thankyou Emma.”

Tayler came and watched our wee tiny yorkshire terrier during our wedding day and was brilliant throughout the whole process. Her communication prior was great, and she always responded so quickly! She came to meet Maisie prior to our wedding day and her friendliness instantly put me at ease - we had never left Maisie with anyone other than immediate family so I was a bit nervous initially but I knew after meeting her that she would be in good hands! The pictures we received afterwards show that Maisie approved too as it looked like Tayler got plenty kissies and cuddles. Thanks so much Tayler! We would 100% recommend!
