Cat Sitting in South Somerset

“Emma was absolutely amazing with my three cats over three days of drop ins. I was really nervous about leaving them as I had never done so before, but after meeting in person and checking out the daily updates to see how happy my cats were, I realised I had nothing to worry about at all! Emma provided regular updates and pictures and clearly took the time to gain each of my cats trust, played with them and gave them treats! Will be using Emma again and would recommend her to anyone! Thank you again Emma 🐱❤️”

About: Hello and thank you for considering me to look after your furbaby. I've been an animal lover all my life and I've been a mum to four dogs (a chihuahua, a fox terrier mix, a Scottish terrier and an American Pitbull), 2 ragdoll cats, one rabbit, one pet rat, several parrots and budgies, two turtles and 3 goldfish. I now live in Ilchester with my husband and two cats. I'm really interested in pet nutrition, wellbeing and enrichment and I love spending time with furry, feathered or scaly friends. I have experience with shy/nervous dogs as two of our family dogs were quite timid around strangers. I'm fit and active so walks are never a problem and I enjoy providing some indoor play / training exercises too for curious doggies. I'm just as happy cuddling on the couch if you have a more laid back or senior pup. I know how daunting it can be to find someone to look after my pets when we go away so I decided to offer my services to people in my area. I'm lucky to be working from home so I won't have to leave your pet for long periods of time during the day. If you need someone to look after your dog or cat while you take a much deserved holiday, I'd be happy to help. I work from home as a part time marketing manager, which makes pet sitting possible. My schedule is also very flexible and I can work from anywhere. I know how worrying it can be when you're leaving your furbaby with someone else. During my stay I'll be sure to follow your pet's routine and any special instructions I'm given. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos. Your pet's wellbeing is my most important priority and I'll treat them with as much love and care as I would my own.

About: Hello! My name is Addie. I am a previous owner of a highly rated pet service business, now looking for some additional work on the side, in a field I enjoy. I am canine first aid trained, and understand the everyday needs for all types of animals. Thank you I have plenty of time for caring for pets between Monday - Fridays. Even when my schedule isn’t set in stone I can cater before and after work, and even some weekends. I always ensure an owners house is left in the exact way it was when I arrived. My best efforts go into keeping my work tidy and organised. When pets are in my own home, I always ensure everything is suitable and safe for them. My home is tidy and maintained and perfect for your loved pet.

About: Hello there! I'm Aaron, a military man, with a fascination with the world's perfect adorable little killing machine, I'm a very humourous individual however extremely professional when It comes to care, I love cats, they bring me great joy even if all they do is sit there, at a distance judging my life choices. I'm also a photographer by trade and would love to take some photos of any kitties I have consent to, I frequently visit cat cafes in order to get my photography/cat fix. I leave for work early, and come home around evening meal time, I can change my timings and carry on work from home, to suit the cats needs. When I'm with my partner who has our cats, our home is full of fun things for them to do, for example ignoring the nice cat toy and just play with the box it came in, cat trees, fish toys and other bits and pieces now make up the aesthetic of our home.

About: Iv lived with animals all my life, grew up on a farm and have a passion for working with all types of furry friends! I have also been lucky enough to train my dogs, either from a pup or once rescued from all Sorts of backgrounds. I work closely with local rescue centres and have fostered, rehabilitated and trained some very beautiful and loving pooches. I absolutely love dogs, and working from home means I can dedicate plenty of time, care, and attention to them throughout the day. I previously had a much-loved medium-sized dog who was truly part of the family, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. Although she’s no longer with me, my home is still very much set up with dogs in mind. I offer two daily walks, lots of companionship, and access to my small but secure, dog-friendly garden. Your pet would be welcomed warmly, treated with genuine affection, and cared for as if they were one of my own during their stay. My garden is fully fenced and completely safe. I have gates up in the home and doors to block and exits (just in case anyone tries to make a break for it)

“Very pleased done a great job looking after my 2 big lively dogs. Would 100% recommend”

About: Experienced pet sitter of nearly 10 years. Leaving your pet is always difficult but they will be in good hands and have a mini holiday of their own! I’ve looked after all sorts of adorable pets from rabbits to horses and everything in between in flats, houses and farms and for the stars . I have two dogs of my own, and have an experience looking after nervous and reactive dogs and always ensure I follow owner’s instructions and what’s best for the animal (i.e. if space is needed around people or other dogs). Age of the animal isn’t a problem and I’m happy and experienced looking after young to old! They will always get love and attention and plenty of play time. I will always send photos and updates to the owner too. I currently work 9-5 Monday to Friday from home with only 1 week day in the office, I’m home on the weekends so plenty of time to help out. I have two dogs with my family at home. I will stick to your animals needs as much as possible so there is little disruption to their normal routine. Walking, feeding, sleep and play time. When booking, please make sure all instructions and schedules are provided so I can match it as close as possible.

“Our sitter was completely reliable and we would recommend her to other cat-owners. She kept in touch promptly and our cat was very well looked after.”

About: I am a dedicated animal lover, cat mother of 2 (4 and 6). Teacher by day and involved in looking after our many school animals too! My work hours are 8am until around 5pm so early mornings, evenings and weekends are flexible and available to help in any way I can I will show the upmost respect to your home and am happy to help with little jobs you may need whilst you are away for example

About: I’ve rescued cats my entire life and it’s my dream to one day have my own rescue centre. For the time being I have my own two little babies, my dear old cat who passed last year had strict diet and medication due to allergies, so I’m well experienced in caring for those with slightly more hands on needs! I work generally 9 -5 each weekday, in law but I have flexibility and can change this or work remotely when need be. I always make sure to spend a couple of days or at least lunches with my own kitties a few times a week, they get plenty of exercise! As I have my own fur babies I am mindful that their own comfort is not compromised, as well as the pet I’m caring for who I’m sure will prefer their own beds. I would therefore work in the pet owners home.

About: Been a dog sitter on Rover for a little while now and enjoy spending time with pooches I own a 3 year old springer spaniel who is crazy and loves other dogs. I work full time from home full time so have full flexibility for your dog I have a dog of my own who loves other dogs - I have a fenced garden, area with plenty of walks, your pooch will have plenty of space to roam - I live in a three bedroom house

About: I’ve always had a great love for animals, especially dogs. I’ve had family dogs growing up and adore the family dog that we currently have. I lived abroad in Canada for over a year and had the pleasure of working in a dog day care. I learned a great deal more about dogs and how each dog has different needs. I’ve always had the general knowledge for looking after pets, but working at the day care in Canada gave me a huge insight into much more. I have also completed an veterinary assistant online course, where I learned how to perform CPR on a dog and spotting signs for when they may need help or attention. I’m also very active and love going for walks, which is why I’d be happy to take other’s dogs for walks.

“I felt very happy that I could leave my cats, Charlie and Lily, at home knowing they would be looked after by Kai. I would definitely recommend Kai for home visits.”

“So happy to have found Alannya at short notice to look after our GSDx Bear. We got loads of photo updates, communication was spot on and I left the house feeling super comfortable and happy knowing Bear was in safe hands. Highly recommend x”

About: I’ve always loved animals of all kind, and grown up with them too. From hamsters and guinea pigs, to my 13 year old dog, I think all pets deserve the very best care. I’m an air hostess flying internationally, and would love to look after your fur babies in my free time !! I’m full time flying, so my days are random and not set. This means I have availability for every day of the week, if you send me a message I can let you know if I’m available that day! Thanks :) I love to have a set structure so any rules you have please send them my way. I love looking after them and want to keep them as happy and secure as they feel around you!

About: I work part time but am available from before 9am and after 2pm Tuesday to Friday, all day Monday and all weekend. Unfortunately I am unable to split the calendar down into half days. Hi, I’m Kristy. I have many years experience with dogs, I grew up with 3 in the house, an Alsatian, Cocker Spaniel and a Collie. I have owned my own Miniature Schnauzer, whom I miss greatly. He came to me from a breeding centre and in a right old pickle, within 3 months he was fully socialised, house, lead, off lead trained and had full recall. There are before and after pictures of him on my profile. . I already have one border terrier who stays with me for the odd weekend and some week days/nights. I have experience in administering oral meds, bathing and grooming, the after photo of my dog (groomed) is my own work. I am also currently doing a Dog Handler Training Course. Please see above for details of my availability . If you have any questions regarding my schedule please do contact me to discuss. Unfortunately the calendar will not let me split into half days I live close to lots of footpaths and parks, so we have lots of choice. I also have a car so can take your pooch for little adventures. I will provide beds and safety harnesses for any car journeys.

About: I’ve had dogs/cats my whole life. I love all animals no matter what shape or size. I used to work at an animal boarding place as well so have experience with walking and looking after animals. I currently work full time and am looking for something on the side to earn some more money. I have had animals my whole life, dogs and cats! I have 2 cats of my own and have always had dogs growing up with my parents so thought this would be something I can fit around my daily routine and working life. I will always follow your guidance when walking/dropping in on your pets. They will always get lots of love and cuddles like they were my own pets. Whatever their needs may be I will always make sure they are met and cared for in the best possible way.

About: I just love dogs and have had them in my life for the past 15 years. Sadly though, my dog passed away last year and life (work) hasn't allowed me to get another one and I really miss having dogs in my life. So here I am, offering myself to you and your beloved dog(s) while you're away. I'm active, patient and affectionate and I'd love to spend some time getting to know the furriest member of your family. I can accommodate as many walks as you'd like or, equally can cater for quieter dogs who just want to chill. I'm here to offer reassurance while you're away that your dog is in safe, caring hands (with a strong supply of only the best treats, of course!) I work Monday to Thursday and have plenty of flexibility at the weekends. I have my own, pet friendly car to get around and love getting out and about with more active dogs (I'm also very active). I've always worked my time and schedule around my dog and would do the same for your pet too. I'm compassionate and affectionate towards dogs and I'm comfortable chatting away to them. Out and about, I believe in walking responsibly and being mindful of other dogs and dog owners - this means being on a lead where necessary and safe to do so (eg public footpaths through farms, walking by a road etc). I'm also a believer in building a relationship through play and also keeping a dog stimulated by engaging with them through games.
