Pet Sitting in South Derbyshire

“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. 💕💐”

“Kirsten looked after our 3 cats whilst we were on holiday this year and I can honestly say I am really pleased with the service she delivered. Kirsten kept us informed about the cats and sent daily photographs, we could clearly see that they were fussed and looked after. The cats were very content on our return and we won’t hesitate to use Kirsten in the future.”

“Anna was absolutely fantastic with Tabatha she went above and beyond in making sure she was well fed and watered and even left her some toys to play with. Anna is highly recommended by us thank you again kind regards Sally and Martin”

“Absolutely amazing service. Ella came round the night before to meet us and Ruby and made us feel very at ease. Ruby took to her straight away. Communicating was very good during her visit. I would highly recommend. Many thanks for making our first time using a sitter pleasurable and reassuring.”

“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!”

“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! 🌻”

“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.”

About: Hello👋 I’ve always had a deep love and respect for animals, especially cats and dogs. Spending time with them genuinely makes my day brighter—whether that’s going for long walks, a jog in the park, or just enjoying a quiet evening curled up together. I believe animals deserve attention, patience, and kindness. I work from home, which means I’m very flexible and can easily fit in multiple walks, play sessions, and cuddle breaks throughout the day. My schedule allows me to step away from my desk whenever your pet needs attention—whether that’s a morning walk to start the day, a midday stroll to burn off some energy, or an afternoon playtime in the yard or living room. Because I’m home all day, your pet wouldn’t be left alone for long stretches, and I can adapt to their routine and energy levels. I genuinely enjoy taking breaks to bond, play, and care for animals—it keeps both me and them happy, active, and relaxed When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel comfortable and safe by keeping a calm, welcoming environment and following their usual routines as closely as possible. I provide plenty of playtime, walks, and quiet cuddle time, depending on what they enjoy.

“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: I’ve had numerous family cats over the years with my current cat, Olive, a ripe old 15. A tuxedo cat who used to be quite a handful in her youth. As for dogs I have sadly never had my own due to a lack of space but I’ve looked after numerous dogs of relatives and friends ranging from: Wilma the Collie, Dexter the German Shepherd and Marbles the Cockerpoo. I currently work part time 3 days a week. Typically weekends but these vary. Even on working days the morning and evenings are very often free. **In My Home:** ✔ **Safe & Cozy Space:** A pet-friendly, clean environment with plenty of room to play, relax, and feel at home. ✔ **Routine & Attention:** I follow your pet’s usual schedule (feeding, walks, meds) and provide lots of love, playtime, and cuddles! ✔ **Socialization (if approved):** If your pup enjoys company, I can arrange supervised meetups with other friendly dogs. Otherwise, solo care is no problem! ✔ **Updates Galore:** Expect photos/videos so you never miss a tail wag or nap-time smile. **In Your Home:** ✔ **Minimal Disruption:** I respect your space while keeping your pet’s routine seamless (walks, meals, play, etc.). ✔ **Security & Cleanliness:** Your home will be treated with care—think locked doors, tidy spaces, and happy pets. ✔ **Extra TLC:** I’ll water plants, bring in mail, and leave your fur baby content so you return to a stress-free home. **For Both:** I prioritize clear communication, trust, and tailoring care to your pet’s unique personality—whether they’re shy, energetic, or a total snugglebug!
