Cat Sitting in South Derbyshire

“Claire was an amazing surrogate mum for my beautiful Evie when I went away. Claire came on time, injected and fed Evie and stayed with her for an hour before removing her food. I was messaged each time Claire came, giving me the times she was here and when she left. Everything was clean and tidy, all the bowls had been washed & the litter trays clean. Claire took pictures of Evie and sent them to me and gave me updates. I would not hesitate to recommend Claire to sit for or care for your pet when you go away. Thank you so much Claire, I am sure I will book you again soon! 🌻”

“Greatly appreciate Abigail and Drew checking in on Raven while I was away. You can't really describe how much it puts you at ease knowing your pet is in the hands of someone who both understand the anxiety of leaving them, and cares for the pet. They managed it, will hopefully be seeing them again!”

“The most professional cat sitter we ever had! She followed our instructions, was very friendly with our little boy and went above and beyond! We really enjoyed our time away without stressing about home or if the cat was okay in our absence. Thank you for your passion. 💕💐”

About: Animals have always been part of my life, not just something I do on the side. I love walking and spending time outdoors, with easy access to a nearby park and lake, which means walks are never rushed or boring. Every pet gets real attention, fresh air, and care that feels like home. I work full time with flexible office days, have a one-hour lunch break for daytime visits, and am available for walks and care during the day and after work most evenings. I care for pets by keeping their routine as close to normal as possible, whether they’re in my home or their own. I take time to understand each pet’s needs, personality, and preferences from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and quiet time. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of attention, walks, and downtime. I also have a high, fully fenced back garden with a secure gate, giving pets a safe outdoor space for fresh air and play. Living near a park and lake allows me to tailor walks to each pet’s energy level. Above all, I care for pets patiently and thoughtfully, treating them like they’re part of my own family.

About: I've had dogs in my family from the age of 10. At the moment I have a gorgeous labrador retriever but have had several breeds including German Shepherd, Collie and Labradors as well as rescue dogs too. I am not currently working so have all day and evening to support my pets. So thetefore also flexible with other people's pets too. Feeding pets, as well as giving them medication when needed. And walk if needed, spend time with them and really get to know them. If there are special needs they have happy to support those too.

About: I'm 34, live in Newhall and work in the Emergency Services. I'm trustworthy and reliable. I've had dogs and cats all my life (and smaller pets- gerbils, hamsters, fish and rabbits and guinea pigs). My parents and other family have dogs I look after regularly and I look afte the neighbours dog when they're away. Otherwise I've got a peaceful life with 2 cats. Unfortunately don't have the time to have a dog full time so I just borrow everyone else's 🤣 I work from home full Time but long days. Shift work is normally 4 on 4 off so the days I'm free will vary but I do get breaks so if you're not too far from me we can make it work. I'll be sensitive to your and your pets needs. Realistically I can't have any pets here as it'll upset my female cat because she takes some time to get used to other cats and I don't think she'd be keen on a dog staying.

About: I’ve cared for animals since I was young, and I have always been passionate about their health, mental well-being, and nurturing to ensure they have the best quality of life. I work primarily from home, typical office hours, and have a flexible schedule to be able to work around the needs of dogs walking & feeding schedule. I have a fenced garden, and the park is nearby for long walks or quick toilet breaks. Flexible regarding the doog's feeding & walking schedule

About: I’ve grown up around lots of dogs. My dads always had between two and six so as kid walking 3 white German shepards at a time was a good start. I’ve cared for 3 dogs the last two years walking them everyday, one being elderly and needing extra care. Whenever I’m out or round a friends house if there’s a dog I will be playing with it. I’ve been told and feel I have an affinity with dogs so making this a bigger part of my life would be a dream. Nearly 4 years ago I sold my place to move into a van this has allowed to follow my passion, dogs. I can’t tell you how lucky I feel when I’m out with a dog I get on well with. I feel I can communicate with dogs as many have told me I’m their best friend. Now summer is here I play cricket so Saturday day I will be unavailable. I’ve taken care of a wide range of dogs and understand their different needs. I’ve sat for an XL Bully to my dad’s six King Charles Spaniels. One of the dogs I walk I take for longer than I should but the dog needs it so she gets it. I speak to all dogs and feel that they understand the intent behind your words. I have lots of free time and I’m very punctual.

“We’re grateful to Cathryn for helping out with our cats while we were away. Communication was clear, and everything seemed fine when we returned. However, we did notice the visit lasted around 20 minutes rather than the full 30 minutes we had agreed and paid for, which we would have appreciated being respected. Additionally, we weren’t sure if our full feeding instructions were followed, as we couldn’t find any dry food left out, which made us wonder if the cats only received their wet food. We always aim to give honest feedback to help sitters improve, and we hope this helps for future visits.”

“Abbie was trustworthy reliable and very informative. My cats were happy to see her when she popped round. They were kept happy healthy and fussed. I would highly recommend her for your pet care! Will definitely be calling upon her again in the future! Thank you!”

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and puppies of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I provide safe walks, fun playtime, feeding, cuddles, and reliable, loving care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I currently work shifts, which means my availability can be flexible. On early shifts I am free most afternoons and evenings, and on late shifts I am available most mornings and early afternoons. This allows me to fit in plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, and giving each pet the attention they deserve. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family. They always have access to fresh water, comfy spaces to rest, and plenty of supervised playtime. I follow each owner’s routine closely, including feeding times, walks, and any special requirements. Safety comes first, so dogs are never left unattended for long periods. Most importantly, I give them love, cuddles, and attention to make them feel safe and happy.

About: From the moment I got my Dobermann, Mila, in December 2021, I was completely hooked on dogs. Their unique personalities, their boundless energy, and their unconditional love quickly turned me from a dog lover to dog obsessed! When Mila sadly and unexpectedly passed in 2024, I knew I needed to honour her by dedicating more of my life to dogs - especially those still waiting to feel the love she gave me. That’s when I began volunteering at Just for Dogs, a local rescue. For the past year, I’ve spent every Saturday and Sunday walking rescue dogs, giving them much needed human interaction, and helping them build confidence. Even more rewarding has been opening my home to foster some of these dogs - providing them with a safe, loving space where they can adjust to home life and prepare for their forever families. From nervous to confident, tiny to huge, cuddle bugs to playful adventurers, it’s been an honour to play a small role in their journey to happiness. With this experience, I feel confident in offering the very best care for your dog - tailored to their unique needs and personality. Whether it’s long walks, sofa cuddles, playtime, or simply being a calm companion, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved. I work full-time Monday to Friday, but my flexible hours and ability to work from home mean I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. This allows me to provide dog walks, drop-in visits, or companionship throughout the day, as well as plenty of attention before and after work hours. I prioritise safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care situation. In my home, I ensure dogs have a secure, comfortable space with access to water, toys, and a quiet area to rest. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow the owner’s routines and instructions closely, maintaining a familiar environment and minimising stress for the dog. My goal is always to create a loving, predictable, and safe experience tailored to each pet’s needs.

About: I have two dogs of my own and have been a dog walker for 3 years. I have a certification in pet first aid and am fully insured. I also have a van and offer group walks. I work between 4 and 6 during the week and have flexible university hours meaning I'll be able to work around the pet owner's schedule. I have a fenced yard as well as two friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I can crate your dog if needed but have plenty of room to play.

About: I have a female boxer dog called Meggy that is my world, she gets on with all dogs & loves to play & share, I have owned dogs all my life from a young age from Yorkshire Terriers to Rottweilers. I walk my moms dog when I go over to see her & all dogs & cats take to me immediately. I love to see a waggy tail & any dog or dogs that i have will be treated like my own. I currently work from home except on a Tuesday & Wednesday when I need to go into the office so I’m available for weekends, bank holidays & all other days in the week except for Tuesdays & Wednesdays. I have a secure fenced garden. If your dog sleeps on the bed then they can sleep on the bed, if they jump on the sofa then come & join me watching the TV on the sofa. If you prefer to crate your dog then not an issue at all, whatever will make your dog feel at home then I will do it.

“Ela was so efficient. I needed someone in such short notice as I'm very anxious about leaving little Fraya for long periods. But Ela was very responsive. She was great with communication, sent beautiful pictures and Fraya seemed so happy and comfortable. Ela sent a video of the locked door and made sure I knew everything was back as it was. I was very happy with all aspects of the service Ela provided and I'm sure little Fraya was too. Thanks Ela!”

About: Hi there! I’m Aryane, a responsible and animal-loving person originally from Brazil, now living in the UK. Back home, I have a beautiful dachshund named Pitaya — she’s the love of my life! Unfortunately, she couldn’t come with me to the UK, so I’m hoping to share my care and affection with other furry friends while I’m here. I have years of experience caring for dogs, and I know how important it is to treat them with love, patience, and respect — just like family. I’m available for dog walking, pet sitting, and drop-in visits, and I always adapt to each pet’s personality and routine. I’m reliable, punctual, and will happily send updates and photos during every visit. Whether your dog is full of energy or prefers quiet cuddles, I’m here to make them feel happy and safe. I’d love to meet your pet soon and give them lots of love while you’re away! 🐾💛 I'm a student, so I can optimize my schedule a lot and dedicate myself to my work with animals. I am available in the morning and also in the afternoon. If you need me to come to your house and take care of your pet, I will come too. feel free to ask your questions. Animals should always be well cared for, well fed, their paws clean, warm, and happy. If possible, it should always be in very safe places.
