Cat Sitting St. Albans

“We really appreciated Haiqing’s visits, she was very organised and everything went so smoothly. She gave good updates and sent many great pictures. Most importantly, Otter (our cat) was very happy!”

“Chloe was great with my cat. She sent photos and followed my instructions really well. I'm so happy she looked after him. My home was tidy and clean when I got back and Timmy seemed very cosy laying in bed waiting for us to come home. Thank you for looking after him whilst we were away 😊”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs, they have always been a part of my family, we currently have two and one is a rescue. But since moving out of my family home I really miss having dogs around which is why I’m more than happy to help out looking after others! I often help out with friends and families dogs too from walking to house sitting whilst on holiday. They all range in size and age so I have varied experience with all different dogs. I currently work as a surveyor but I have the flexibility to work from home 3 days a week so plenty of time to help with your dogs. I’m usually not available on Tuesday and Thursdays, and If I’m not available on the weekends this will be shown in my calendar. I keep my calendar kept as up to date as possible. Looking after dogs in the owners house, I will be able to follow advice and rules of their house as I’ve done this multiple times with friends/ families dogs. I basically mirror the routine that the owner follows so the dog can be relaxed as possible.

“Purple and Archie were amazing cat sitters! They sent daily photos and videos, kept our cats happy and playful, and were super friendly and easy to reach. We felt totally at ease and would book them again in a heartbeat!”

“Lara was a fantastic dog sitter for our dog Otis! She was incredibly responsive, kind, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear Otis was in great hands, and we wouldn’t hesitate to leave him with her again. Highly recommend!”

About: Having cared for animals my entire life, including two German Shepherds, a horse and my Bengal cat, I’m confident handling pets of all temperaments. I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each animal’s needs, balancing affection, exercise, routine and boundaries to ensure they feel safe, happy and well looked after while you’re away. I currently work part-time, so I’m highly flexible and available throughout the week, with some weekend availability. Typically available from 11am onwards, including evenings upon request. I prioritise safety, routine and wellbeing, providing attentive care in a calm, secure environment that’s comfortable for them, while adapting to each pet’s individual needs and personality.

“Excellent service! June dropped in to see our pup Dino while we were out & he had a fabulous time with her. She kept us up to date with pictures & videos so we knew he was happy. Dino was absolutely full of beans when we got home, clearly wanting to let us know how much fun he'd had! Would definitely recommend!”

“Rosie did drop-in cat visits for my furballs whilst i was away for a long weekend... and Sox warmed to her instantly. Lots of lovely pics and she fitted us in at short notice. Thanks ever so Rosie, Sox would be happy to have you pop round again if I'm away.😊🐱”

“Our cockerpoo Annie was instantly enamoured with Emma. She had a lovely way with her and clearly enjoyed looking after her. I would highly recommend Emma.”

About: I adore dogs and I am unfortunately unable to have one in my rental flat, so I thought offering to walk others' dogs might fill the void! I regularly puppy sit for my sister's 4 year old whippet and my sister in law's cockapoo. I was also extremely lucky to always have a dog in my childhood home. Our first family dog was a scrappy, collie-cross called Baldrick with the cheekiest soul and, as he got older, the stinkiest breath. Then when I was 10 we got a rescue mongrel we called Dobby, who was the gentlest, best natured dog a family could wish for. Both Dobby and Baldrick lived until they were 18!!! I am used to being gentle with anxious dogs and ensuring boundaries are in place to make everyone feel safer and have the best walk possible! My partner and I both wish we could have a dog but unfortunately our current jobs and flat won't allow for pets! Therefore walking your dog would mean the world to me just to get some doggy love into my life! I work full time Mon-Friday, however I am available Mon-Wed from 5:30pm, Thursdays from 4:30pm and Fridays from 4pm. I am also available on the weekends. I'd be happy to walk your dog as a regular commitment or as a one off! I will always make sure I speak with you about your dog's personality and preferences before going for a walk (e.g. Whether they are comfortable around other dogs, if they are allowed off lead etc.). I will only take them to parks where there is space for them to explore on or off lead, and I prefer to only take them off lead if they know and recognise me (preferably after 3 or so walks). If a dog displays signs of anxiety or distress I am comfortable taking them away to a calm space and soothing them with a gentle tone.

Love a long dog walk and can throw a ball for hours . I am now a freelancer so can work from home. Love dog walking and can play and cuddle dogs for hours.

About: I adore all pets and I have the freedom and flexibility to be able to care for your dogs from home. With plenty of long walks closely available your dog will get plenty of exercise. I am available 7 days a week. I work full time from home and only look after one dog at a time so they will get 100% attention. Long early morning and afternoon walks will give your dog plenty of exercise. I love to play ball games at home, in the garden or on walks. Giving your dog times of stimulation and rest are important but happy to follow the same routine as the owners.

About: As a dedicated animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes, I’m comfortable handling everything from daily walks to overnight stays. Growing up with my own pets and regularly assisting my mum, a professional dog walker, has equipped me with the skills I need. Having recently returned from travelling I now have a flexible schedule with availability on weekdays weekends and even last-minute bookings. I understand the trust you place in me and promise your pets will always be in safe loving hands. Having recently returned from travelling, I’m currently in between jobs which means I have a completely open and flexible schedule. I’m available any day of the week, including weekends and bank holidays, and am happy to accommodate last-minute or short-notice bookings. Your pet will always have my full, undivided attention! At home, I have my own pets and a warm welcoming environment with a garden so your pet will have plenty of space to relax and play. I’ll treat them just like one of my own, maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible including feeding walks and any medications or special requirements. I’m equally happy to come to your home which means minimal disruption for your pet. They’ll stay in their familiar environment with all their home comforts. I’ll take care of everything from feeding and walks to keeping them company and sending you regular updates so you’re always in good hands.

About: Hi! My name is Gabby and I’m a newly qualified vet living in Hatfield. I love all animals and I’m very experienced working with and caring for dogs and cats. I’ve grown up with dogs and I have a very active 2 year old Labrador at home who loves long walks and playing with his ball! My flatmate at university has an elderly cocker spaniel who I’ve helped look after for 2 years so I’m comfortable looking after all sorts of dogs with different temperaments and needs. I’m also able to administer any medications your pet may need whilst you are away. I have variable availability during the week and weekends, although I may need to leave in the day for a couple of hours. I’m very happy to house sit for up to a week, and available for dog walking and doggy day care. I am very flexible for July and August and available for most weekdays and weekends with notice. I am able to dedicate the majority of the day to your pet and fit in to their needs. Having worked with dogs and cat for over 5 years, I have lots of experience with different temperaments of pets. I’m confident administering any medications that they may need and with give them however much exercise they require. I will try as best I can to make your pet comfortable in their own home and fit into their routine!

About: Hi! I've had animals my whole life, and i can't wait to meet yours! I have been providing holiday care for other people's pets for a few years now, including cats, puppies and old boys. I have a cat who is used to these animal vistors, but the house is big enough that if they dont get along i cam keep them separated and happy. I also have two rabbits, but they're safe in an enclosed run in the garden! The garden is also a decent size for your doggy to sniff about happily. My children are all very respectful of animals and their space, but love a snuggle and a play when the animal is willing! I am home most of the day and would love to explore the many local parks with your dog. I tend to not leave the dog alone at all, instead taking them with me on my outings and errands. If your four legged friend wants a fun, family home with lots of friendliness then this is the sitter for you! I work part time from home. I don't like to leave dogs alone at all, and cats will not be alone for more than a couple of hours (not that they mind as much!) Animals who come to stay become part of the family. They eat before us, dogs come put with us, and cats stay cosy indoors with the house to explore. The garden is a good size, pets are allowed on the furniture , and maybe the beds if they're irresistable. I can go on walks as long as your dog needs, and will happily follow your instructions on how to play, interact or discipline your pet.

“Lucia did a wonderful job caring for our cats, feeding them, changing their litter, and making sure everything was done exactly as we asked. She was efficient, caring, and a great communicator, and we would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to others.”

About: Animal carer with over 15 years of hands-on experience looking after dogs and cats. I bring confidence, reliability, and a genuine love for animals to every role. While based in London, I regularly cared for pets belonging to friends and family, including extended stays and freelance dog walking. More recently, I worked full-time as a professional dog walker and day carer with Mad Dogs and Englishmen in Coogee, Sydney. This role significantly developed my skills, particularly in problem-solving and remaining calm under pressure, while reinforcing my commitment to high standards of animal care and safety. Since moving back to London I’m extremely keen to continue building on the valuable experience I’ve gained and spend more time with furry friends :) I work in hospitality and so my schedule is very flexible and I only need a week’s notice to guarantee a booking. I am also happy to accept bookings on the day, given that it fits in with my schedule. I have cared for several dogs recently both in and out of home for friends, family and clients. I am extremely adaptable to catering to each dog’s needs and ensure smooth sailing!
