Cat Sitting South Gloucestershire

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. My grandparents have 2 labradoodles and 1 westie who I have walked, fed, bathed and loved many times. I've grown up with 2 old English sheepdogs who I have loved and cared for, for 11 years. My fiance also had a cockapoo who I cared for and took on many walks. I'm going to be available over half terms and summer holidays as I am a full time teacher. During those periods I will be free all day every day to pay attention to any needs that your pet may have. I'm happy to make your pet as comfortable as they need in their home as well as meeting all of their needs. I am happy to crate them at night or just leave them to roam. I have lots of walks nearby so I can walk them at any point of the day. Also I'm happy to bathe and brush any dogs too.

“I’m always nervous leaving our cat when we go away but with Carol looking after him and keeping us updated I didn’t worry once. She genuinely cares and enjoyed spending time with Georgie - I didn’t feel like he was being left alone for a week.”

About: I’m a student nurse who’s experienced in taking care of both people and pets. I have experience in looking after cats - I’ve lived with them since I was born. I have also lived with dogs that I have enjoyed helping take care of when they needed ( or when I’ve just needed a bit of company!) I am currently on holiday! In term time in a student paediatric nurse :) I’m just looking for something fun and bit different to do whilst I’m off. I’m really happy to chill at the pets house or take them for long walks! I will not be able to provide services at my home

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for pets for friends, family and neighbours. I’m responsible, patient and genuinely enjoy giving pets plenty of attention, cuddles, playtime and care. I also volunteered at an animal shelter in Spain, where I gained valuable hands-on experience caring for animals with different personalities, needs and backgrounds. This included feeding, cleaning, exercising and socialising animals, as well as giving them patience, reassurance and plenty of affection. This experience taught me how important it is to understand each animal individually and make them feel safe and comfortable. I’m comfortable following feeding routines, giving medication if needed, and caring for pets with different needs. I also have a very loving, cuddly cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you can completely trust. I currently have a flexible schedule, which means I can dedicate plenty of time to caring for your cat. I’m available throughout the week and at weekends, and I can provide regular attention, feeding, playtime and companionship. I’m happy to discuss your cat’s usual routine and make sure they receive the care and attention they’re used to while staying in my home. I have a calm, cat-friendly home where your cat can feel safe, comfortable and relaxed. I have a loving and cuddly cat of my own who is very friendly and well behaved. I make sure windows and doors are secure, keep potential hazards out of reach and provide cosy spaces where cats can rest and feel at home. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully and make your cat’s safety and wellbeing my priority.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over many years, starting when I got my first hands-on experience at my local kennels at 13. I worked there for three years, walking, feeding and caring for dogs of all different sizes, breeds and personalities. I also have my own dog, who I’ve had for the past six years. We’ve done lots of training together, including agility classes, and she has taught me just how important patience, consistency and getting to know each individual dog really are. I really enjoy spending time with dogs and getting to know their different personalities and what makes them happy! I’ve since completed an Animal Management Diploma and a degree in Zoology, which have given me a strong understanding of animal behaviour, welfare and care, alongside all of my practical experience. I currently work part-time at my local zoo, so dog sitting fits really nicely around my schedule. I’m reliable, responsible and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and I’d love the opportunity to give your dog the same care and attention I’d want for my own. Whether they’re looking for a long walk, some playtime, company while you’re out, or simply a comfortable and calm environment, I’m happy to work around what suits them best. My schedule I currently work part-time on a changing rota, so my availability can vary from week to week. However, with enough notice, I’m usually able to plan around my work schedule and make dog or cat sitting work. I’m happy to discuss dates and times in advance to find something that works for everyone. I will be the sole care provider. I want pets to feel as comfortable and settled as possible while they’re staying with me. I’ll take the time to get to know their routine, personality and individual needs, and make sure they get plenty of attention, play and affection while also having their own space to relax. I’m also happy to take dogs out for walks and will tailor these to what they’re used to and enjoy. I’ll always follow your preferences around leads and off-lead walking and make sure they’re safe and happy while out. Above all, I’ll care for every pet as I would my own and make sure they feel relaxed, well looked after and part of the family while they’re with me.

About: I have 6 solid years of experience walking dogs in the local area of various sizes and breeds - only using positive reinforcement methods, I take pride in the relationships I have with my clients and their pets and will always perform a full assessment before taking on new clients. Beyond that, I have a long background in animal care through work and study. I have worked with Pomeranians through to St Bernard’s and will always put the needs of your pet first. I typically run walks around lunchtime to fit in with most people’s working days. Pick ups will vary depending on the interactions and personality of your dog, but typically they will fit into a group with pick ups at the earliest of 10am and home latest by 1:30pm I walk in small, controlled groups of dogs that know eachother and are well socialised and assessed. We go to open green spaces or wooded areas for an explore and stomp - be warned - there will be mud! I am independently insured, first aid trained and DBS checked. Please note that I will only walk dogs that have had an in-person meet and greet so I can assess their needs and interactions. Please allow enough time before your first booking for us to facilitate this.

“Rosie was fantastic! From our first meeting to the day of the visit, her communication was great. My dog loved her, and I felt at ease with the updates. Definitely deserving of a 5-star rating!”

“It was great to have Georgia do two drop ins on Henny. She sent photos and videos and left notes of what they got up to. She also came beforehand for a meet and greet which was so helpful as it was my first experience with Rover”

About: Hi! I'm a reliable, caring animal lover with plenty of experience looking after both dogs and cats, I have a dog and cat at home. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I'm happy to tailor my care to make them feel safe, happy, and comfortable. Because I have a dog at home who is reactive around other dogs, I'm unable to host dogs in my own house. However, I'm available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting in your home, where your pets can stay relaxed in their familiar environment. I'm also happy to care for cats in your home. I have lots of experience with anxious dogs as I have one myself. Whether it's playtime, walks, feeding, medication, cuddles, or simply keeping your pets company while you're away, I'll treat them with the same care and attention I'd want for my own. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands. I will be around all day to walk your dog and help them with their daily routine, I can walk them around a schedule that suits the dog. I believe the best pet care starts with following each pet's normal routine as closely as possible. Before every booking, I like to learn about their feeding schedule, exercise needs, favourite activities, any medications, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. I will follow any guidance on how to look after your pets and use common sense at all times. For house sitting, I'll care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, helping to keep their routine consistent while you're away. I'll also take care of basic household tasks such as bringing in post, watering plants, and keeping your home tidy if requested.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, from cats and dogs to rabbits, guinea pigs, lizards… you name it! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I absolutely love spending time with them. Although I’m not able to have a dog of my own right now, I’m incredibly passionate about caring for other people’s pets and would love the opportunity to give your dog plenty of care, attention, exercise and companionship. I live in a beautiful first floor flat in Emersons Green in a quiet and safe area with a park just down the road, making it a lovely place for dogs to stay and enjoy walks. I’m very active and train every single day, either at the gym or running, so dog walking fits perfectly into my lifestyle! I genuinely enjoy being outdoors and staying active, and I’d love to have a furry companion join me on my walks and adventures. I’ve also recently been helping to train an 8-week-old Dalmatian puppy, which has been going really well! This has given me hands on experience with the patience, consistency and positive reinforcement that young puppies need. Whether your dog needs a fun and energetic walk, some company during the day, or a safe and loving home away from home, I’ll always make sure they feel happy, comfortable and well cared for. 🐾❤️ 🐶 🐈 I work full time, but I do have WFH days on occasion! I am available for overnight stays and evening walks and cuddles on the days where I am in the office. I can offer: - dog walking service - house sitting / caring for dogs in their family home - pets staying with me in my home Plenty of love, treats and dog walks will be had :)

About: I have many years of experience as guardian of my own dogs, cats as well as small pets, but I also previously worked for a dog walking company doing solo walks, cat and small pet visits and I helped out with puppy classes. I now offer dog walking and pop-in visits for dogs, cats and small animals. I have also experience with farm animals such as chickens, ducks, sheep and pigs, so don't hesitate to ask me if you need pop-in visits on other animals! Since my own dog passed away at nearly 16 years old this year, I can now also offer boarding in my own home for dogs and cats. I'm happy to walk dogs with additional needs such as reactive dogs, senior dogs, puppies, recovering dogs etc. I prefer to walk them in a harness for their own safety and comfort, and I will do my best to make the walk as interesting and enriching as possible! Most of all I want their time with me to be pleasant and stress free! I will need to know if your pets have any special requirements such as dietary needs, allergies, medication etc. I'm working Monday to Thursdays in my day job (working from home), so on those days I'm unavailable for daytime walks and visits. I may be available for evening cat feeds and visits, so please just sent me a message to find out! Fridays to Sundays I'm available in the daytime as well as for evening visits. Don't hesitate to get in touch with any questions. Please note I can currently only board dogs who are able to be left for short periods of time (1-2 hours) and/or are crate trained. It can be daunting to have a stranger come into your home and look after your pets while you're out, but I can assure you I will treat your home with the utmost respect and follow any instructions given by you. I can give updates during/after the visit if required to give you peace of mind. I also have an enhanced DBS certificate.

About: I’ve had my own dogs since I was 8, they are the light of my life. I often dog sit for friends and family. I love to be around dogs and take care of them however I can. As they have gotten older, they’ve had their own specific needs in regards to foods and walks to I have experience in accommodating with that, there is no such thing as “being difficult”, whatever they need I am happy to give I currently work full time so I can work early mornings, evenings and weekends however I am looking to care for dogs full time instead. Dogs are my whole world and I love to be around them. I have had my own dogs since I was 8 and they are my life. They themselves have their own specific needs with food and walks so I can easily accommodate that. I will always tailor to your needs and wants and care for your baby however you’d like me to. My aim is making you and your baby feel as comfortable and happy as possible
