Cat Sitting Surbiton

About: I'm a passionate animal lover who shares my home with my miniature poodle Camembert (Cami) and five Sphynx cats, so animals are very much at the centere of my daily life. Cami is friendly, polite with other dogs, and great company for any other dogs on a walk :) While I'm new to working with dogs professionally, I have genuine hands-on experience with a wide range of dogs, from a tiny fox terrier puppy to a 70kg Akita mix, a reactive German Shepherd/Husky cross, cocker spaniels, puggles, and more. I've also cared for dogs in my home for extended periods, including a boisterous 10 month old Labrador/Staffy cross who needed structure and routine, and a 12 year old Beagle who needed a calm and gentle environment. I'm currently working towards my Kennel Club Crufts Bronze Good Citizen award with Cami, and enrolled on IMDT courses to become a certified dog trainer, so while I'm at the start of my professional journey, I'm actively building the knowledge and skills to back up my passion. Every dog in my care gets my full attention. I keep my bookings small deliberately, so I can give each one the time and care they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Cami and I start every day with a morning walk, and we also do an hour of training split across two sessions in our garden, so structure and consistency are already baked into my day. Monday to Friday I'm based at home(self employed), giving me flexibility to fit drop in visits and walks around a steady, animal focused routine. I treat every client's home with the same care I'd want shown to my own. I follow the owner's instructions to the letter when it comes to keys, access, and keeping the property secure, and I make sure everything is locked up properly before I leave. Before any booking I ask for a full picture of the animal, their habits, quirks, and any specific needs. Wherever possible I also like to do a meet and greet with the owner present beforehand, so the dog can get familiar with me in a relaxed setting, the owner can see how we interact, and we can all make sure it feels like the right fit before committing to anything.

“Lexi is a reliable, respectful, and considerate sitter who looked after our home and our Bengal cat for a week. I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for a caring and conscientious sitter!”

“Ellie is an amazing and trustworthy pet sitter. She looked after our 2 kittens while we were away and she was genuinely loving and caring for them. She kept us updated with pictures and messages everyday and she kept their spaces clean and tidy. We would definitely recommend her to everyone. Thanks Ellie 💖🙏✨”

“Olena was amazing! She looked after our cat for 8 days whilst we were on holiday. He required some extra attention due to some medical issues including taking a tablet each day, which Olena gave with ease. She also sent us videos and pictures to reassure us that he was ok. Meant we could relax on holiday in the knowledge that he was being well looked after. I’d highly recommend Olena.”

About: I have experienced many opportunities working with Animals from an animal hospital working towards treatment plans to support every animal get back on their paws, to more recently on a dairy farm along side my border collie who taught me a thing or two in return. I love animals and plan to continue working with them throughout my life. In Australia I was able to live and work there for 3 years through various pet sittings, and animal care, from seniors learning a new trick to potty training a 8 week old puppy I have loved every moment. I am a confident trainer able to teach both my dog and cat the same tricks using some healthy treats I make myself. I’ve recently returned home after travelling and working in Australia for 3 years I am catching up on some much needed time with my pets. I try to aim for 2 walks daily, plus enrichment tasks which leaves time for training in the evenings. Rest of the time we probably getting some cuddles in I have a fenced garden where my friendly dog and cat like to explore. My dog is very sociable and loves to make new friends. While my house is suitable for some indoor exercise, I live close by to many small and large fenced parks where I like to let my dog run around. I have experience with dogs with medical needs as well as working with anxious rescues. I can provide safety and love for all my animals

About: I have grown up with dogs since I was a kid - from German Sheppards to Golden Retrievers, Mastifs and Dachshunds. I am a huge dog lover and always making doggie friends everywhere I go! I have experience with anxious and nervous dogs, elderly dogs, administering medication, dog physio and hydrotherapy and have done dog nutrition consultations. I rescued my own dachshund cross Shaden in Slovakia when I was 17 and moved to England with him.He was my best friend and at the age of 16 passed away last year. He had a few special needs towards his senior years including daily medication, physio and hydrotherapy, a pram to get around due to his arthritis as well as a special home cooked diet due to his kidneys. I also have experience dog sitting anxious dogs as Shaden could get scared of loud noises and fireworks and I would often look after other rescues with anxiety. I also shared a house with a Mastif and 2 bulldogs for a number of years so have experience will all kinds of breeds and needs :). I absolutely adore dogs and cannot imagine my life without one! I am not quite ready to get my own dog just yet after Shaden but would love to have a buddy to take out and have some fun with while you are away! Please let me know and if your dogs are used to being in an office I can also take them in for longer stays and be flexible. I commute by train and it is about a 20min commute on the train and a 20min walk each side of the station. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays. I have just moved into my own house in Kingston recently so am home most weekends doing some gardening or exploring the local parks and area. *At the moment during the summer until September I am fully wfh :) * During Tues-Thurs I work in a dog friendly office at Google (we have loads of doggos come in!!) and I come home around 3pm every day so can do afternoon or evening dog sits. Alternatively, if your doggo is social and you are happy for them to be in a dog friendly office I am more than happy to take them in! I can be flexible during the week and work from home if requested during the weekdays too - I just need a bit of notice for this :). I have my own fenced garden and am close to Richmond and Bushy park but also have a lot of lovely walks around me. I live on the ground floor so it is easily accessible for small dogs as well as I had planned to be here with my elderly sausage dog. Dogs are my buddies and I absolutely adore them so they are allowed on any and all furniture including the bed and sofa for extra snuggles :).

“First time using Rover and first time of working with Rachel. Rachel was on time, friendly, and flexible. Rachel updated us frequently and Woody absolutely adores her. Highly recommend and will be using Rachel again for visits and walks.”

“Samantha was so great with Bailey! Such a doll and sent me updates with pictures of him while I was traveling and my husband was at work. Really appreciate her efforts and patience with him. He had a lovely walk and really took to Sam well. Thank you so much for taking care of our boy!”

About: I am an experienced dog walker, and have been responsible for walking my heavy boxer George through varied terrains. I would often walk more than one dog, as I have cared for my neighbors dogs before, who are a bit smaller than my boxer. I was responsible for my dogs behavior training, medication management (including regular and important medications now my George is an older boy) and trick training. I’ve also cared for my cat Izzy since she was a kitten, ensuring her well being and understanding feline behavior. I have also volunteered at my hometown animal shelter, walking and feeding dog all of different sizes, aswell as dealing with dogs that aren’t trusty of people or trained due to being abandoned. Although I don’t live with my pets anymore, I still see them as they live with my parents. I am currently fully flexible, so I am able to look after your pets this summer regardless of your needs. I am willing to come to any location and adapt to your needs. From ensuring my cat and my dog stayed safe and in the house in my hometown, which was a mountainous where a pet can easily be lost, i can assure I am a trustworthy attentive person.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 11. I walk all the time and love to take dogs with me. I often house sit for friends when they go on holiday and need their pets looked after! I’m working part-time at the moment so I have plenty of time on my hands to take care of pets. I go on long walks for photography and I love nature and a little furry company never hurts. A night in with a book and a pet by my side is my ideal night. I try to make pets feel comfortable by keeping to their usual routine. I make sure they’re fed, exercised, played with, and given lots of attention and care. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions and keep owners updated while they’re away.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, growing up with both cats and dogs, so looking after pets has always come naturally to me. I now have a corgi of my own, so I’m very used to daily walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel happy and comfortable. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I love playing with both dogs and cats, but I’m also happy to just keep them company and help them feel relaxed while you’re away. I work from home, which means your pet will have company throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I always try to treat every pet like my own and pay attention to their individual needs and personality. I also have experience giving medication if needed, so you can feel confident your pet is in safe hands. I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and regular walks. I already have a routine with my own dog, so adding another pet feels very natural.

Whether it’s a quick check-in, longer walks, or full-day care, I can adjust my schedule to make sure your pet is well looked after and not left alone for long. I have a fenced garden, so pets can enjoy safe outdoor time and toilet breaks. I make sure to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, and any special care instructions.

“We were first time customers. Cash our 1 yr old black lab was looked after by Ross and Dareen over 10 days. Split between drop in visits and overnight stays. We couldn’t have wished for better care and attention. This was also a new experience for Cash, who initially was a little out of his comfort zone. We received regular updates with photos which was great. Their knowledge and patience truly put him at ease. He came home well cared for and happy. I wouldn’t hesitate in using their services again.”

About: Hi I am Olivia and this is Barry my two year old Labrador. He is a calm and friendly dog who gets on well with everyone and is always happy to have company. I have grown up with dogs my whole life, from Newfoundlands to French Bulldogs, so I am comfortable with all sizes and all temperaments. I work from home a few days a week which gives me plenty of time and flexibility for walks and drop ins. We live in a secure flat and I drive so travelling is not a problem. I have a real interest in puppy training and understanding dog behaviour, and my long term goal is to become a dog trainer. I am always learning and practising positive training methods with Barry and I enjoy helping pups feel confident and calm. I am a patient and caring person and I will always treat your dog with the same attention and respect I give my own. Barry is castrated and well mannered, so he is a great companion for dogs who like having a friend on their walks. I am looking forward to meeting your dog and helping make your day a little easier. I work from home on Monday Wednesday and Friday, and I am off on Saturdays and Sundays, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks and drop ins. I have parks close by which makes it easy to take dogs out multiple times a day. I can fit walks around your dogs usual routine and I am happy to work with whatever times suit you best. We live in a flat which is secure. We are on the second floor, but we have access to the shared garden which is gated and fenced off.
