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: 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 have 2 gorgeous Goldadors at home as well as a miniature labradoodle, I have experience with newborn puppies as my oldest dog has had 2 litters (1st with 10 puppies and 2nd with 7) so I am capable of looking after lots of dogs at a time and can handle stressful situations. All of my dogs are active at and when at home I take them on long walks daily and make sure they are mentally stimulated. Both of them are very well behaved and I trained them myself and to a very high standard (can do a variety of tricks). I love dogs all shapes and sizes and can easily adapt to any situation. I look forward to meeting your dog and hopefully they will become my new best friend!! I am at home in Norwich for the summer until I go back to university at the end of September and will be available weekdays and weekends with notice I will happily spend time with your dogs in your garden or take them on one of my favourite walking routes to make sure they have the best time with me :)

Zoe was able to walk my dog last minute as I had to leave him at home unexpectedly. He is a bit of an anxious dog and Zoe took the time to let him get comfortable with her and sent me written updates and pictures :)

Tianna was great when we contacted her at short notice to request a walk for our doodle puppy. She promptly came to meet him and get to know him. As a puppy he’s not used to being left for too longer period so it was great that Tianna was able to take him out and make s fuss of him so that when we returned home he was calm and settled . Thanks Tianna we hope you will continue to provide walks for Barley when needed in the future.

About: We’ve had a history of Dachshunds in the family. We provide an environment which the dog can relax and be well attended too. We have a puppy Dachshund in the extended family that can stay with us if your pooch requires more socialising. I currently work part time and when I do work I can work from Home. We’re a active family so could have periods of being left for 1-2 hours. We have an enclosed large garden perfect for dogs to explore and play. We love to treat dogs like part of the family and involve them in whatever we are doing be that beach walks, or chilling in the evening on the sofa.

About: I have grown up with pets all my life and currently have two dogs, a rabbit and axolotl and lots of fish! I have experience walking and looking after multiple dogs simultaneously and am very proficient in training techniques and more than able to provide any specific care requirements. I have looked after dogs of all breeds and ages as well as being able to manage dogs with all kinds of behavioural traits. I have a full clean driving licence so am able to travel to and from clients houses with ease. I would be honoured to spend time with your fury friends and shower them with love and affection. I know that many people may also have other pets! I have fish and a rabbit so I am also well versed in the care requirements for other fury friends and creatures! I work 3 days a week. I am available for drop in visits and for short & long term stays. I have a car and am happy to drive in order to fulfill requirements. I would preferably travel to the owners home as I have pets of my own but I am able to travel to the necessities location for the sitting.

About: Throughout my life, I’ve lived with all kinds of pets, from guinea pigs & budgies to cats & dogs; each one teaching me patience & responsibility. After finishing high school, I volunteered at an animal shelter, where I got plenty of experience walking dogs… and occasionally being walked myself.🐾 Animals have always been a huge part of my life, so in 2017 I went to college to study Animal Care and Management. There, I not only earned my qualification but also learned how to survive life surrounded by enthusiastic paws, feathers, and the occasional hairball.🦎🐰🐦🦔🐑 In 2018, I found myself working at a Doggy Day Care, caring for 10+ dogs and puppies every day. My duties ranged from training and enrichment activities to cuddles, games, and general chaos management; basically making sure every dog was happy, healthy, and not tearing the place apart.🫣 Daily health checks were part of the routine, and I completed a Canine First Aid course to handle any emergencies. Although though I’m planning to update my certificate soon, just to stay ahead of the dogs’ sneaky antics. Working with dogs has truly been a dream: full of wagging tails, slobbery kisses, zoomies, and enough laughter (and minor chaos) to keep life exciting. Honestly, who wouldn’t want to get paid for this level of happiness and madness every day? I’m a mum of three tiny humans (all under five… send coffee😅). I’m currently a stay-at-home mum, which basically means I’m always home, except for those wild adventures known as school runs and the occasional appointment. I’m available all days of the week and can offer care and companionship most of the time for dogs that are staying for boarding or daycare. As for dog walking and drop-in visits, please shoot me a message for availability as this can vary throughout the week. In our home, safety is a top priority, especially since we have small children who can get just as excited as dogs do! To keep things calm and everyone happy, we have stair gates ready to create a bit of “me time” for either your pet or our little humans whenever needed. There’s also a cozy, open space under the stairs that your pet can claim as their personal headquarters available 24/7 for naps, snacks, or important squirrel dreaming business. Your furry friend will also have free rein of the house and our fenced secure garden, so they can enjoy the great outdoors without you worrying about any unexpected adventures beyond the gate. Because around here, everyone deserves a safe place to play, relax, and be their joyful selves, tails, toys, and tiny humans included! ✨

About: I have been looking after friends pets for over 10 years & walking friends dogs periodically to fit in with my working from home job. Please make sure your furry friends are regularly de flead & wormed. As I work part time from home, I am very flexible in caring for your beloved at most times to suit us both, day or night. I have a large enclosed garden, where your pet can roam freely, between walks. I have a rather elusive, friendly cat who is used to dogs but does not like being barked at or chased! I am happy for your pet to sleep in whichever room they are comfortable, but preferably not on the bed (famous last words) sofas are fine, if they are used to it especially for cuddle time. Happy to crate them or whatever they are used to for their own comfort. Please bring their own bed & comfort blanket & toys.

About: Having been surrounded by pets my entire life - from cats and dogs to horses and lizards - has given me a deeper and innate understanding of animal care. Since I could walk, animals have been a constant presence in my life, which has fostered a genuine love and respect for them. Family and friends frequently rely on me to house sit and look after their pets whist they are away, trusting in my dedication, ability and experience. This lifelong exposure sets me apart from others as I provide a level care and service rooted in a lifetime of hands-on experience and a sincere passion for animal welfare. My commitment to ensuring each pet's well-being and happiness in unwavering, making me uniquely qualified to offer exceptional pet care. I work from home Monday to Friday, ensuring your pet will never be left alone. My routine includes a morning walk and feed before I start work, followed by a lunchtime walk with various toilet breaks throughout the day. After work, I often take the dogs for a longer walk, bathe them if necessary, and feed them their second meal before letting them out one last time before bed. I am more than happy to accommodate any specific routine requirements, as I have the flexibility and luxury of working from home. This allows me to provide consistent and attentive care for your pet. In my home, I provide a safe and welcoming environment for your pets. I have a fenced garden where they can play and exercise, along with a friendly dog to keep them company. I regularly walk and bathe the dogs to ensure they stay healthy and clean. If needed, I can easily crate your dogs for safety and comfort. I love spending quality time cuddling with pets and can continue their training to help them feel secure and well-cared for. Additionally, I am happy to offer house-sitting services so your pets can remain in the comfort of their own home.

About: I worked at a cat/dog hotel for 2 years and I miss working there ever since I left! I've worked with all sizes and ages. I'm currently free across the whole week and will happily board or care for your animal if and when I'm needed! Weekends do vary though, but I will clearly communicate if there are any problems! I have a fenced backgarden with many plants for the animals to explore as well as a create if it needs to be used. I know many safe walking areas where I take my own dog!

About: I LOVE animals! I have always been an animal lover from a very young age and have had dogs in my home! I love both cats and dogs and am a very respectful, responsible young lady who understands the stress when going away to find someone you feel comfortable and happy with in your home! I have a sprokerpoo called Ernie, and we’ve recently had this issue! I work from home with my own business in social media management, so I thought why not offer pet sitting and other services! I also have qualifications in teaching and elderly care so I am an overall compassionate and loving person! As I work from home (or anywhere with internet) I can virtually be free most of the time to pet sit! I drive and am happy to travel to you for petrol fees! If anyone has any questions you can always message! I am very eager to meet, play with and love your pets just as much as you do 🤍 I work for myself, so I choose my own hours! If you have internet in your home (if I’m house sitting) your pet friends will have a companion all day everyday for as long as you need! Working from home means I have availability to walk and drop in to see your little darlings too! In my home, I have a fully enclosed garden and have to make sure everything is put away! (Shoes are my puppy’s favourite!) I am very aware of my surroundings with my dog and what is safe for him to eat/not eat! I work full time for myself from home so this allows me a large amount of flexibility regarding my routine. This is a huge benefit to pet owners I help as I can work around your schedule/your pets schedule at ease! If I have any work calls whilst at your home I will let you know timings in advance, but this will not impact your pet sitting/daycare experience in any way! If your pet is coming to my home. He/she will be safe at all times. I won’t leave your pet if that’s what you require and make sure they are safe and well looked after at all times!

Sheana was amazing with Basil and kept me updated throughout the day. I’d only had Basil a few weeks when finding the need to book a dog walker, Sheana took the time to ‘meet and greet’ Basil and discuss his personality / needs for the day. She also takes great photos. I will definitely be using Sheana again!
