Pet Sitting Swaffham

About: I work in a pet shop and have my own online pet shop so good treats are a given! I have lots of experience with dogs, especially large breeds. I'm comfortable walking strong dogs on lead. I used to have a Rhodesian Ridgeback who was 52kg, so I am confident with larger dogs. I regularly look after my friends dogs, a Labrador and a Frenchie and a Chihuahua, and I've walked many other dogs over the years. I'm happy to provide home visits, feeding, walking and playing. I have my own online pet shop for Small animals and I also work in a pet shop so I it's easy for me to work around those things As I have so many of my own cats I can only offer home visits to clients houses, but I am happy to clean up after them, do feedings, give medicine, playtime and cuddles. Whatever is needed.

“This is the second time we’ve used Alexio to sit our two cats. He was even kind enough to water our grass while we were away during the heat-wave. Thanks again Alexio!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old and have been around them since I was born. Family, friends, neighbours and then people they know, have then relied on me to take care of their dogs when they go away for weekends or holidays or even drop ins whilst they’re at work. I am a huge dog lover and treat them all as if they were my own. But I have also been around other animals growing up too so I can help with other pets too if needed. I am able to administer medication to a dog should they need it due to being able to administer medication to my own in the past. I have my own dogs, a Labrador and a Cockapoo. And we love to go on long walks, whether this is in the countryside, the Lakes, the coast, or heading to dog parks - we love being active! I am a qualified IMDT dog walker and canine first aid trained ⛑️ I can adapt to the needs of your dog and go at their own pace, feel free to pop me a message, I want them to have the best time with me! I’m currently working part time and will be able to fit in plenty of playtime, walks and check/drop ins. My availability will always be declared on here. Please let me know if your dog has any special requirements, dietary needs, their preferences or habits so I can tailor my visits around how they work and what they prefer and whether the dog may be anxious or reactive around certain humans,dogs or objects. We can go out and about to explore or we can stay in the safety of their own home if this is their comfort zone, whatever works for them ☺️

“Lina clearly loves dogs and was so great when looking after two very excitable cockerspaniel puppies! She spent longer than she needed with them and sent so many photos and could see they were I great care with her. Would definitely recommend! Thank you Lina”

About: Fully Qualified in pet sitting and dog walking. Full DBS has been completed. I have had previous experience working in a Boarding Kennels. I have had several Dogs myself of many different breeds. I also used to train Greyhounds and Whippets within the Racing environment. I set up the business to continue my love of working with animals. But mainly to provide a service that allows Clients to ensure their pets are well looked after when other commitments call. I know how close to us our pets are so clear communication with my Clients on how their pet is doing would be key. I set up Bark 4 the Lead at the beginning of 2024. This is my full time Job so the pets that are boarded here have my full attention throughout the day and night. I offer dog walking which I complete in the morning for a couple of my Clients. I live in a very quiet area down a service track. The property is fenced in with no other pets in the household. I recommend clients to visit with their pets prior to booking so they feel comfortable and reassured.

“Abby was very good at keeping us updated with her visits sending photos and a short summary of what she had done. We were extremely happy and impressed with her friendly but professional approach. We can certainly recommend her to anyone.”

About: Hi, I’m Paulina — though the dogs know me as Pawlina 🐾! I run PAWLINA: Home for Pets, a safe, licensed, and insured home-from-home for dogs in Little Fransham. I hold a Breckland Council Animal Welfare Licence (AWL0208) for home boarding and daycare of up to 5 dogs, so you can be sure your pets are cared for to the highest standards. I’ve loved animals since I was a child—my home was always full of pets, and I’ve felt happiest outdoors in nature. I’m calm and gentle, which animals seem to naturally sense. Even the shyest ones warm up to me quickly and often come over for cuddles. I can't walk away when an animal needs help—like the little kitten I rescued and found a loving home for (take a peek at my gallery, but be prepared for a cuteness overload 😍). It makes me very happy to make animals feel safe and loved. What I also love about my pet-sitting work is the chance to meet wonderful people—pet owners who, like me, truly care about animals. From my experience, pet owners are some of the kindest and most caring individuals you can find, and I feel lucky to be around such a kind community. At Pawlina's, your furry family member will be safe, loved, and treated like one of my own. I can’t wait to welcome them and help them feel right at home! 🐾❤️ I work part-time from home — just a couple of hours in the morning and a couple in the afternoon, Monday to Friday. Because my job is home-based, I’m available all week to care for your pets. They’ll never be left for long periods and will always get plenty of time, care, and attention every single day. Together with my partner, I live in a cosy two-bed bungalow with a secure 0.17-acre garden in peaceful Little Fransham. The area is wonderfully quiet, with beautiful walks right on our doorstep — perfect for outdoor adventures with pets. Whether welcoming your furry friend into my spacious, pet-friendly home or caring for them in yours, I prioritise creating a calm and secure environment. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routines and preferences so they feel completely at ease.

About: I grew up with various animals and have been a pet owner for 30 years. I’m the go to pet sitter for friends and family. I choose to do pet sitting because I find it incredibly rewarding and love spending my time with animals. I work remotely 90% of the time and can arrange to work 100% remotely from your home if needed. I can give your pet regular cuddles and toilet trips and walk them around my work. My days off are Thursday -Sunday so I will be able to give them extra attention on these days. I will arrange to visit your home beforehand to get to know your pet/s and make sure they and you are happy with me. This also enables me to discuss expectations and security/routine. Due to the nature of my job, I also have an enhanced DBS check.

“Andreas takes good care of Amelie and always sends plenty of pictures so I can be sure she is being looked after.”

About: I am a huge lover of all dogs, big or small. Having grown up in a house filled with both working and pet dogs, and recently moving out of my family home, I am looking to spend more time with dogs! I am a very active individual and would love to take your four legged friends for a stroll, either old/young! Just let me know what your dog requires/likes and I will fit a walk/visit around their needs! I work as a nanny, so during term time have large free periods of time, for stopping by and letting pets out/feeding/walking/playing with them. Having grown up on a stud/farm I am very competent with a variety of animals should you need more animals checking on/tending too. Please feel free to message regarding rates. I currently have full flexibility for pet sitting / walking, fitting my personal life around this work. Available for walking from 6am-9pm at the moment. I do kindly ask you provide the appropriate information for your pets and their needs, I am happy to adhere to the routine you provide for your pet.

About: Me and my partner work from home full time and would love the company of a four-legged friend. I only ever take in one dog at a time, this means your dog gets 100% of my attention, the best spot on the sofa, and a routine that doesn't change just because they aren't at home. I keep my client list small and exclusive to ensure I can be available when you need it most. My home is a calm and quiet space, I have no dogs or kids of my own and live it a very quite estate on the edge of norwich. Whether we’re heading out for a long afternoon walk or just hanging out while I’m at my desk, your dog will be treated exactly like my own. They’ll have the run of the house and plenty of belly rubs. I have a completely fenced garden which they have access to as much as needed. I have a very cosy office with a sofa they have exclusive use of.

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. I can walk the dogs, play with them and feed them according to the schedule desired I live in a house and have a small garden where dogs can spend their time. Plenty of parks to take them for a walk around too

About: Dogs have been a big part of my family life for over 50 years. I have looked after many breeds of dogs with various attitudes and needs. From basic training of puppies to advanced training throughout their years. I have plenty of time to look after , play and exercise your doggies. Teach them how to behave in a good manner and help them grow and thrive to their full ability I have 3 lovable, friendly dogs of my own. They are treated like royalty. I can cater for all your dogs needs wishes and requirements.

About: With over five years of experience in looking after all kinds of animals as well as growing up in a house full of animals I am now available to look after furry friends whilst back home from university. Whilst my experience is mainly in the realms of dogs, cats, horses, hamsters and guinea pigs I have also looked after rabbits, birds and even a tortoise! I have had plenty of work experience through my degree in veterinary practices allowing me to handle medications as needed and keep an eye on any more senior animals as well, with which I aim to give owners some peace of mind as I completely understand how daunting it can feel when a pet has health issues and to trust someone else to monitor these. I currently work an online job for my university student union, which is part time. This means I have plenty of time to check in on furry friends and keep ontop of their daily schedules! Other than that I would ideally be going to the gym however if one of your furry friends needs 24/7 care it goes without saying that it would always be the priority! I will be able to take your dog out and about to local dog parks or for quieter walks through the lovely Norfolk countryside! With a car and full clean driving licence I would be more than happy to take your pets to safe local areas or walk them from your home. Which ever you would prefer and they would be more comfortable with!
