Pet 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! 🌻”

“First time using Abi and Andrew and having arranged a pre-meet, we already felt reassured about them taking care of our boys. Lovely people who truly care for animals and treat them as if they are their own. Our cats had the best care and lots of fuss and play and we'll definitely be booking Abi and Andrew again. Thank you guys.”

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 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: 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.

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.

About: I absolutely adore all animals- especially dogs- and I am passionate about their welfare. My husband and I have cared for dogs for over ten years now, as well as cats, turtles and fish. I am DBS checked and certified in canine first aid. As a pet owner myself, I fully understand how hard it can be to trust someone else with your precious little fur baby; rest assured they will be treated as one of my own here. Lots of love and dedicated attention in a peaceful, rural environment. I currrently work from home most days. This means that I can be flexible with my sitting schedule and also with walking/ play times etc. I live with my husband, Dan and our rescue French Bulldog, Stitch. We are fortunate to have a spacious house with a large, enclosed garden. We also have a woodland, park and nature reserve all within walking distance so plenty of opportunities for lovely walks.

“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: 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 a Level 3 Diploma in Animal Management and a genuine passion for animal welfare. Through both my studies and personal experience, I have developed knowledge of animal behaviour, health, handling and care. I have regularly looked after dogs and cats for family members and family friends, providing feeding, walking, playtime, companionship and general care while owners were away. I am reliable, responsible and committed to ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable and well cared for. I am confident caring for animals of different ages, personalities and needs. I work full-time as a mental health nurse, but my schedule allows me to plan ahead and organise my time effectively. I am available before and after work, on my days off, and most weekends. Caring for others is a big part of who I am, and I bring the same patience, reliability, and attention to detail to caring for pets. I will always ensure pets receive the care, exercise, attention, and companionship they need, while following their usual routines to help them feel comfortable and secure. The safety and wellbeing of every pet in my care is my top priority. I take the time to learn about each pet’s routine, personality, preferences, and any specific needs before caring for them. Whether in my home or a pet owner’s home, I ensure pets have a safe, comfortable environment, receive plenty of attention, and stick as closely as possible to their normal routine for feeding, exercise, playtime, and rest. I am reliable, organised, and attentive to detail, and I will always follow any instructions provided by the owner. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. My experience working as a nurse has strengthened my ability to remain calm, responsible, and observant, helping me provide safe and compassionate care for every pet.

“Sarah was brilliant. She kept in touch whilst looking after our cat Molly. Will deffo use her again.”

About: I’ve cared for pets most of my life — from energetic puppies to senior dogs and independent cats. Friends and family have often trusted me to look after their animals while away, knowing they’ll be in calm, capable hands. I’m comfortable with all sizes and temperaments, including pets with special needs or medication schedules. My focus is always on creating a safe, low-stress environment and giving each animal the attention and routine they’re used to. Whether it’s a long walk, a quiet check-in, or an overnight stay, I approach every visit with reliability, respect, and care. Im currently in the civil service and work set shifts, this means I have days off in the week where I can cater your pet needs. Just contact me for any date enquires. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or staying in yours, I always aim to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible. That includes feeding times, walk schedules, play preferences, and any specific instructions you share. I know how important consistency is for pets, so I take the time to understand their personality, needs, and comfort level. In your home, I make sure to leave everything as I found it — clean, organized, and secure. I respect your space and your pet’s space equally. In my home, pets have a calm, safe environment with room to relax and feel at ease. I never leave pets unattended for long periods, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and emotional well-being. Clear communication is also key — I send regular updates, photos, or videos so you feel connected and reassured while you’re away.

About: I’ve always had family Weimaraners my whole life so I’m used to big dogs! Me and my boyfriend go on a lot of walks anyway and he works from home so can keep them company in the day. He has a Labrador so they would have to be good with other dogs and do a meet and greet beforehand I work full time but my partner works full time working from home so between us we both chip in and love spending time with dogs. I walk in the morning and evening anyway and then he is in in the day so it works well. I have a fenced garden that I can only access and lots of lovely walks near me! You would need to bring all their food and their own bed but they will be very comfortable ❤️
