Cat Sitting Steeple Bumpstead

“Nicola took wonderful care of our dog, Turbo, when she came over for drop in visits. She let us know how each visit went which eased my mind when I was away. I will definitely be using Nicola for future visits.”

“Gaby was amazing, always on time and given that our cat doesn't like anyone and hides from anyone new, she wasn't hiding from Gaby which is a great sign. We will definitely be using Gaby again when we next go away and hopefully everytime after that as long as she is available. It's such a relief that we have now found someone we can trust and rely on so we have peace of mind when we plan a trip.”

Michael K.

“Emily was our absolute assurance that Dottie Lou would be very well cared for during our absence. She sent us messages and photos for each visit which showed that our treasured little rescue kitty had found a new friend. We are so grateful to have found Emily … she’s wonderful!”

Maureen H.

“Emma was so great! She was responsive, warm, and very accommodating. Our animals clearly enjoyed their time with her and she was very attentive to them.”

About: I grew up surrounded by animals including guinea pigs, budgies, dogs and even a hamster! One year ago I adopted my rescue dog from Romania, Lillah. When we first adopted her she was incredibly nervous on walks.

At pet owners homes i will discuss with the owner what health and safety precautions they have in place.

Over the past few years, I’ve regularly looked after dogs for friends and family, including house sitting, dog walking and daily care. I’ve worked with a variety of breeds and personalities, and I always take the time to understand each dog’s routine and needs. I also spent 3 months in the USA where I gained additional experience with dog walking and pet sitting. I am enhanced DBS checked and volunteer with my Golden Retriever, which has given me even more hands-on experience working with dogs in different environments. I’m reliable, caring and treat every pet as if they were my own.

I am enhanced DBS checked, giving you extra peace of mind while your pet is in my care.

“I had a very good experience. I felt comfortable leaving my cat, Freya, in Mike's care and was confident that she was safe and well looked after while I was away. Everything went smoothly, and Freya seemed happy and relaxed when I returned. Communication was easy, and Mike sent plenty of cute photos and videos, which was very reassuring. It was clear that she was being properly cared for, and I would happily trust Mike with Freya again in the future.”

About: I grew up with a dog in the family and enjoyed taking care and spending time with dogs ever since. I have experience looking after dogs with different personalities and needs, and I always treat them as my own. I also have a valid DBS certificate for extra peace of mind. I work from home so have some time to spend with pets.

About: Ive always had a dog and I am also loved by cats, I love giving them attention and like it too. You're leaving your baby in safe hands coz when Im with pets they become my world. I feel I understand animals well, even though they can’t communicate in the same way we do—perhaps it’s my biologist’s instinct. I truly enjoy spending time with them and would be delighted to care for your beloved pets. As a PhD student, I have a self-managed schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to pet care. I also see this as more than just a side role—it’s something that brings me joy and a sense of calm, almost like therapy, while ensuring your pets feel safe, loved, and well looked after. As I have lived in the past in an area where wildlife is common, I always took extra precautions to keep pets safe, including ensuring they remain indoors after 6 PM, even for short strolls. I also carefully check the environment to remove any sharp or hazardous objects. Most importantly, I pay close attention to their behavior and cues, making sure they feel heard, understood, and comfortable at all times.

“Nobody could've taken better care of Barney than Liam! He left everything in perfect order. He cared for Barney as if she was his own. I can highly recommend Liam to anyone wanting a cat sitter. I don't think you can find anyone better. I would only leave Barney with someone trustworthy who would take great care of her. ”

About: Hello! My name is Elisa and I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by them and have had pets in my life since the day I was born. Over the years, I’ve cared for many different animals and breeds. I’ve had Dachshunds, a German Shepherd, Yorkshire Terriers, a Pinscher, a French Bulldog, and mixed-breed dogs as well. I currently have a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, who is a big part of my life. Because of this experience, I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve also had other pets growing up, including a mixed-breed cat and even a rabbit, which gave me experience caring for different types of animals and understanding their unique needs and behaviours. Caring for animals has always come very naturally to me. I truly enjoy spending time with them, going for walks, playing, and making sure they feel safe, calm, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I always try to respect their habits and make them feel as comfortable as possible. My goal is for your pet to feel relaxed and well cared for while you have peace of mind. I would be very happy to look after your pet as if they were part of my own family. I work part-time and I’m also studying, which means I have a structured but flexible routine. I spend a lot of time at home and can dedicate attention, care and playtime to the pets I look after during the week and weekends. I provide a calm and safe home environment for pets. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and routine, making sure they feel comfortable, supervised and well cared for at all times. I treat every pet with patience, kindness and responsibility.
