Cat Sitting Stonegate

About: I have a lot of experience taking care of Pets, my own, and house sitting for the last 5 years,I am very calm and relaxed, and good with nervous pets, my specialty is taking care of reactive and anxious pets, I have worked with rescue animals in the past. I have recently done a pet first aid course, I was in the fire service and Ambulance service, so I feel confident in a Emergency. I am clean and tidy, and will respect your home. I am retired, so have plenty of time to spend with your pet, especially if they have separation anxiety. The longest they would be left would be if I needed to shop, I also have a estate car, so happy to take your pet to the park or vets if required I will try as much as possible to keep to your pets normal routine, I am a early riser so happy to feed or walk (dogs) their normal time.

“Emma has looked after Mischa brilliantly during our weekend away. She immediately established a rapport with her when they first met. We appreciated the reports and photos after each visit. I wholeheartedly recommend Emma to anyone who needs someone to care for their cat/s.”

About: Had many happy pets over the years and I can’t wait to help keep your pet happy and healthy, as someone who loves both animals and exercise this is the perfect job for me. I own two dogs and one cat myself so know how to care for animals. My pets go on daily walks and are fed and entertained. I have a large garden for my two dogs and a forest near for long walks and a large crate. I am attentive and know what animals need.

About: I grew up in a household filled with many pets, mainly dogs (we had nine dogs at one point), as well as cats, reptiles, birds and fish, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I’ve recently returned to the UK after a year in Australia, where I discovered my love for pet and house sitting. It quickly became one of my favourite ways to travel, and I’m excited to continue doing it now that I’m back home. I’m a compassionate, considerate, and conscientious person who finds looking after other people’s pets and homes deeply rewarding. I’ve cared for many dog breeds — including spaniels, dachshunds, pit bulls, retrievers, poodles, and greyhounds — each with their own personalities and needs, from lively puppies to gentle seniors. I’m comfortable administering medication and have plenty of experience with anxious pets and rescue animals. I love long walks and hikes, and having a furry companion along for the adventure is always a highlight. I also take great pride in keeping homes clean, tidy, and well cared for while owners are away. If you feel I might be the perfect fit for your pets, I’d love to hear from you! I’m self-employed and work remotely, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can be available any day of the week. I can easily fit pet care around my work, allowing me to spend plenty of quality time with your pets throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday walk, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’m able to give them the attention they need whenever they need it. When house sitting, I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure in their own space by keeping to their usual routines. Feeding times, walks, favourite toys, bedtime rituals. I treat every home with respect, keep things clean and tidy, and send regular updates so you know your pets are happy and cared for. For dog walks, I tailor each outing to suit their energy and personality, whether that’s a gentle stroll or a lively run around the park. Walks are a great opportunity for exercise and stimulation, so I make sure every dog gets the attention they deserve.

“Natasha was great dropping in and looking after Marlow for a few days whilst we were at work giving daily updates and photos. Thank you would definitely recommend to anyone needing a dog sitter!”

About: I’ve always had dogs, a few different breeds as well, I’ve had German shepherds, Great Danes, doberman, I currently have a cockapoo and a Labrador. I’ve dealt with reactive dogs, working dogs, I’m happy to adjust to whatever the individual dog needs I am currently looking for work so my schedule is very flexible, however when I do get a job things may change but that can be discussed I will cater to each individual dogs needs, if they need more than one walk a day, done. If they need to be crated for certain times a day, that can happen. If they get funny about food, I’ve dealt with food aggressive dogs before. I will adjust according to each individual dog or cat

About: I’ve always had cats as a child and now as and adult we have our little black and white cat Juno. My mum had a dog who I absolutely adored when I was in my twenties. I love all animals and am comfortable around them. I’m happy to help with visits, feeding, play and lots of cuddles! Ask me if there’s something you’d like me to do which isn’t on the list, am happy to consider requests and will treat your pets with the love and care they deserve! I’m currently working freelance and have a lot of spare time and can be flexible around requirements. I have a car and can travel easily and don’t have many other commitments so can be available for what is needed. I am careful and considerate and will ensure I follow any instructions you have given regarding the care of your pets. I know how important it is to have a safe caring environment for pets and will ensure that I do whatever is needed to create that. I’ll also keep you updated throughout to give you peace of mind

“Absolutely loved Rebecca! She did great with my pups and they can be hyper and reactive but they loved her and I felt more than comfortable with her taking care of my babies in my home!!”

About: I have experience looking after dogs and cats aswell as sick animals that need daily medication. Growing up I spent a lot of time with my two cats. However, I have always wanted a dog and luckily, thanks to friends and relatives I have been able to feed, train and walk a variety of dogs. I cant wait to befriend your beloved dogs and cats, and keep them safe, healthy and exercised whilst you are on holiday or just at work. I currently do some self employed gardening, but am free most of the week. This means I am flexible with times and can work around you. I believe safety and trust can be ensured with regular updates, photos and pre written instructions for all animals. This should include how they interact with children or other dogs on walks, medication and how to administer it, feeding times etc. I will always be available for a daily update or any questions you may have.

About: I love dogs and cats, and I’m currently living with a Samoyed and a cat. I grew up with dogs and have had both a Husky and a Golden Retriever, raising them from puppies. Sadly, they passed away a few years ago, but I also gained valuable experience caring for them in their senior years. I am attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routines, and I always aim to provide a calm, safe, and comfortable environment while they are in my care. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I am currently working from home to run an online business all day, so I can be quite flexible with looking after your pets. My dog, Simba, is very friendly to other dogs as well. He can be a bit barky, but he is very playful. I live in rural areas and have a fully fenced garden. My dog can keep your pet good company. I also have crates if needed.

“Sarah was so lovely and our cats were so happy when we returned from a long Holiday. Would definitely recommend her!”

About: Zoology and Animal Behaviour Degree, First Aid and DBS checked. Finding someone to care for your pet when you can't is always a worry, as a dog and cat owner myself I can thoroughly relate and I offer services tailored to you and your pets' routine. I have been caring for clients, friends and family's pets for over seven years now, this includes: dogs, cats, small furies and reptiles. Having historically worked in a animal rescue, I'm pretty certain I've seen it all, from caring and raising new-born pups to providing palliative care for special seniors, administering medications and dealing with reactivity. At the moment, I work part time for a charity and fill the rest of my time doing what I love, which includes a lot of dog related activities. I travel the UK to raise awareness of the vulnerable native dogs breeds in the UK and compete at Crufts annually both to show and take part in Discover Dogs, in addition to other kennel club schemes. I have often had dogs come to stay and they always thoroughly enjoy a trip to our family farm where they can run through acres of grass and woodland or take a paddle in the lake. I am completely flexible and happy to work around you and your pet's needs by adjusting my schedule to fit your pet's routine. My house is a calm environment, I like to tire dogs out on walks and with stimulation in the home to that they are happy and satisfied to minimise stress. I have fenced garden and offer supervised outdoor playtime or sunbathing (weather/heat permitting). We have set meal times and my dogs are fantastic at calming any nervous individuals with their happy-go-lucky attitudes and love having other dogs come to stay and walk with. In any emergency our vets is just down the road.

“Libby looked after our kitty Chester while we went home for Christmas and she did a fantastic job. We loved getting the pictures from her visits and cuddles with him. We will definitely be using Libby for our next trips back home! Thanks so much Libby.. highly recommended x”

About: I have walked and looked after dogs since 2023. I have always had a passion for dog breeds since I was very young. I have studied dog behaviour and temperament for a wide variety of dog breeds, in all categories from working, pastoral, gundog, toy, terrier, and utility. I am very happy to look after senior dogs and puppies. If you need a helping hand in the day or a sitter overnight, I am happy to help. I am a university student who studies from home for most of the week. At this current moment in time, I am at home for 7 days a week due to my first semester starting in late September. I am very active and love walking, I also paint and draw during the day, so if your dog prefers to sleep and rest, I am happy to keep them company as well. I live in a detached house with a medium sized garden that is secured. My family has one dog, a 6 year old golden retriever. She is friendly and likes to rule to roost.

“We thoroughly enjoyed our three drop in visits with Leiah! Riley had lovely walks and lots of TLC and attention from Leiah, exactly what she needs! We are booked in and looking forward to our first dog sit!”

“I picked Brenna because she lives locally, but have really lucked out. I adopted Suri - a retired racer geyground - two weeks ago and we are still establishing our rhythms. It is obvious Brenna has a huge amount of patience and love for dogs and I feel confident leaving Suri in her care. It’s been nice getting the updates through the Rover app on what they’ve been up to. It’s been nice seeing them bond with each visit. Would recommend Brenna 100%”

“Caroline has been an amazing find! She totally took the stress and worry about leaving our cat alone for the best part of 4 weeks whilst we holidayed in Australia. She provided daily updates, including photos, and full reassurance. My cat is usually fairly standoffish with strangers, but fell in love with Caroline who clearly is a huge animal lover. We will 100% book Caroline for future trips and recommend her to friends with no hesitation whatsoever.”

About: I have grown up with dogs since I was six years old. For as long as I can remember I have loved dogs as they bring me such joy and happiness to be around! Me and my family have three miniature dachshunds, who we love very much. They are all such characters, are so super cuddly and bring us all so much joy. I know how much our pets mean to us and how they become a vital part of the family, and I would love to help out by looking after your loved ones. I love taking doggies on walks, playing with them in the garden or at home, keeping them company and giving them lots of cuddles too! I have housetrained all our dogs so I’m happy to help out with puppy training too! I am also confident in administering medication as I have done so for my own dogs and other animals whilst I volunteered at a wildlife rescue. I have a lot of love to give and I am so excited to meet your pets! I graduated university this year and I have recently got back from travelling Europe so I have plenty of free time to care for your pets. I am around weekdays, weekends and evenings and I am very flexible so I can plan around whatever time works best for you and your pet. I have a spacious grass fenced garden with three miniature dachshunds that love to play in the garden. Our house has two entries so it’s possible to keep your pet separate from my dogs if this is something they would prefer. We have lots of rural footpaths from my house which are perfect for dog walks.

About: I’m a newly quailed Occupational Therapist and a dedicated dog lover with hands-on experience caring for my own 10 year old Poodle. Looking after my dog over the years has given me a strong understanding of pet care; including feeding, walking, grooming, playtime, administering routines; and recognizing changes in behavior and wellbeing. My professional background has helped me develop excellent observations, communication and caregiving skills. I am trained to be patient, attentive, responsible, and focused on safety, all of which are valuable when caring for pets. I pay close attention to individual needs and understand the importance of consistency, routine, and creating a calm environment. I am confident caring for pets of different ages and temperaments. including senior dogs who may require extra patience, gentle exercise, and closer monitoring. I enjoy providing both physical activity and companionship to help pets feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my combination of personal dog ownership experience, professional caring skills, and genuine love for animals. I understand that pets are family members, and I will treat your furry friend with the same care, respect, and affection that i give my own dog!💗 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I make time every day for feeding, cleaning litter trays, and giving pets attention and playtime. I enjoy creating a calm and comfortable environment so cats feel relaxed while their owners are away. I’m organised and reliable, so I always make sure pets are cared for on time and according to their usual routine. When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible so the pet feels comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding at the right times, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays thoroughly, and spending quality time playing or giving attention. I’m always respectful of the owner’s home and keep everything clean and tidy. I also send regular updates and photos so owners know their pet is happy and well cared for.

“Mollie was great at stepping in at the last minute to help us out. She kept us updated and sent a couple of pics and couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you mollie :)”
