About: I have always loved animals. My grandparents used to have a farm so I have experience with lots of animals. I used to keep many pets as a child. We have a four year old dog-friendly Pomeranian girl called Stella so I can ONLY help look after small or medium-sized dog breeds either female or neutered male who are friendlly with toy breeds. I work part-time in a nursery 3 days a week and have weekends, Mondays and Fridays off so I could give the dog my full attention then. My husband works from home so he can take care of the dogs when I am at work. We own a 4 bedroom detached house with a good size garden near a large park. I have two teenaged children and they love animals and long walks. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Kind regards, Marketa My husband works from home on the days that I work, so my dog and your dog would never be left alone for more than few hours at a time when my husband needs to go shopping for example. We have a fenced, good sized garden and 4 bedroom detached spacious home and a teenage children who adore animals and help with dog walking.

“Rosie is a great sitter and a safe pair of hands. She helped me looking after Rudi in a difficult time and with very short notice. I'm grateful for her help and would recommend her to anybody needing high quality and attentive pet care. Thank you so much Rosie.”


7. Gillian R.

“Gill came to meet us on a pre visit, that was helpful for us all. Gill is so lovely and wanted to know all about the cats routine and their little idiosyncrasies. She sent photos and videos and both the cats were very relaxed and happy. One of my cat’s is always a little distant and nervous, but Gill quickly won him over and he behaved just like Gill was his owner!! Cleo had loads of cuddles and love too. I came home and they were relaxed, had eaten and slept in the bed with her as they do with me! Gill respected my home and loved my cats while I was away. Highly recommend Gill. Calm, kind and an absolute animal lover. Thank you Gill. 😻😻”


8. Letitia B.

12. Megan W.
“Megan looked after our two dogs, a 3 legged anxious rescue Saluki & a Jack Russell for 9 nights when we went on holiday earlier this month. Prior to us going away she visited the dogs at our house twice to get to know them & go through their routine. She stayed at our house for the 9 nights and provided us with daily updates & photos of the dogs. We were away over firework night & she was amazing reassuring them both & cuddling them. The dogs were looked after so well in that they ignored us when back as missed Megan lots & it was lovely to come home to such a clean & tidy house. We will definitely use Megan again as it was lovely to relax on holiday knowing the dogs were being looked after so well”

15. Emma T.
About: Hello, I’m Emma and I live in Staple Hill with my partner and cat, Summer. I’ve had cats all my life & often look after friends’ and family’s fur babies! I know how important it is as a cat owner to be reassured that they are in good hands and as relaxed as possible, so that you can fully enjoy your time away. I love how unique each cat is and like getting to know their quirks. It’s amazing how even the grumpy or more timid ones manage to wrap you around their little paw in no time! Now I’m working from home I have free-time in the mornings and evenings (somtimes lunchbreaks too) that would’ve been spent commuting … and I thought, what better way to spend that time than keeping cats company and checking they’re well looked after while you’re away. Also, just for info I have an enhanced DBS certificate I can visit your cat once or twice daily ( before and after work) to give them food, fresh water, empty the litter tray and check in on them. I will also spend time with them -keeping them company, playing with them, giving them cuddles, grooming them (if they’ll let me!) or just hanging out. I’m more than happy to send you updates and photos to give you peace of mind. Also happy to water house plants if needed. Areas covered - Staple Hill, Downend, Mangotsfield, Frenchay, Fishponds I will treat your house with care and respect. If you would like me to do any additional tasks in the house such as watering plants or putting out recycling please just let me know, and I’d be happy to help.


16. Sinead T.

“It's the second time Sinead has looked after Ely so well and now with a new addition (Archie), it was reassuring to have a familiar face look after the two of them! Thanks again Sinead :-)”


17. Petra J.

“Thanks for having Ollie Will definitely use again highly recommend to anyone looking for a cat or dog sitter I got images sent with up dates why on holiday thanks again xx”


18. Nicolai B.

“We felt that our cat Chiquita was in very good hands with Nic. He followed all the instructions carefully to make sure there were no changes in her routine and he was very responsive to our messages! At some point we worried Chiquita had escaped (her GPS collar was giving a wrong location) and Nic went straight to the house to check. Thanks for your care and patience with Chiquita :)”


19. Mari L.

“Mari and family did a great job looking after Amber. We were kept up to date regularly and were so glad that Amber was at ease and having fun at home whilst we were away. I would highly recommend Mari!”


20. Jessica W.
“Jessica has always been very good looking after our dog Max. You can tell she really loves being with animals and treats them as her own. She loves taking Max on walks and just playing games in the garden. Very trustworthy and looks after Max’s needs. Would recommend. 😀 🐶🦮”
