Pet Sitting Swanton Morley

About: A Lifetime of Dog Love We both grew up in homes where dogs were part of the family. From high-energy puppies to gentle seniors, we’ve handled it all. This lifelong experience means we’re comfortable with different temperaments and truly understand "dog language." Staffie-Lab Specialists Our own 12-year-old Staffie/Lab cross has been with us since she was a puppy. Raising her into her golden years has given us deep experience in senior care, from administering medications to providing the extra patience and comfort older dogs need. The Best of Both Worlds: Home Comfort & Forest Adventures Your dog will have 24/7 companionship with us. While one of us provides a calm, "nesting" environment at home during maternity leave, the other works outdoors in beautiful forestry areas. What this means for your pup: Quiet, Safe Exploration: Plenty of space to run and sniff in peaceful, off-the-beaten-path woods. Tailored Days: If your dog prefers a cozy nap on the sofa, they can stay home. If they love an adventure, they can join the "forestry crew" for a day of fresh air. Never Alone: Between the two of us, your dog is always supervised and loved. A Typical Day with Us Because there are two of us with very different daily schedules, we can tailor your dog’s day to their specific energy level and personality. The Morning Kick-off The day starts around 7:30 AM with breakfast and a quick garden stretch for everyone. We’ll discuss your dog’s energy for the day to decide which "track" they’ll take. Option A: The Forestry Adventure (Active Pups) If your dog loves the outdoors, they’ll hop in the van with me. My workday is spent in quiet, off-the-beaten-path forestry areas. The Perks: Miles of peaceful trails, fresh air, and plenty of "sniffari" opportunities away from noisy traffic or crowded city parks. The Pace: We take plenty of breaks in the shade, with fresh water always on hand. Option B: The Cozy Home Nest (Chill or Senior Pups) If your dog prefers the quiet life (like our 12-year-old girl), they stay home with my partner. The Perks: Constant companionship during maternity leave. Whether it’s lounging on the sofa or pottering around our secure garden, they are never left alone. The Pace: Calm, low-stress, and full of belly rubs. Perfect for seniors or dogs who get overwhelmed by travel. The Evening Wind-down By 5:00 PM, we’re all back together. After dinner, it’s "family time" in the living room. Our senior Staffie-Lab is an expert at relaxing, and your pup will have a cozy spot to join the pack for evening cuddles before bed. Your dog’s safety is our top priority. We provide a fully fenced, secure garden where pups can play and sniff freely. Because we’re a team—with one of us home on maternity and the other in quiet forestry areas—your dog is never left unattended. We use our 12 years of experience with our senior Staffie-Lab to ensure a calm environment, slow introductions, and a routine that keeps every guest happy and out of harm's way.

About: I’ve been around dogs and different animals my entire life, from my own pets to working on farms🐶. I’m 23 and have grown up with my own family Labradors and smaller dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities and needs. I’m the person my family and friends rely on to look after their pets when they’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they get plenty of attention, affection, exercise and, most importantly, feel happy and comfortable, as they are family members🥰. What sets me apart is that this isn’t just a job for me - I’m genuinely passionate about animals and take pride in giving every pet the care and attention they deserve and ensuring all their furry needs are met❤️ I’ve recently completed my Master’s degree in London and have moved back home for the next month or so. I currently have a very flexible schedule with no major commitments, so I’m able to dedicate plenty of time to your pets - whether that’s walks, playtime, cuddles or simply keeping them company. I’m happy to work around your routine and give your furry friends the attention they need! 🐾 Your pet would be welcomed into a friendly, comfortable home where they can feel relaxed and part of the family. I have a Labrador and a small Jack Russell, both of whom are very friendly and love having other dogs around, so I’d just make sure they’re a good match beforehand. We have a fully enclosed back garden with access throughout the day, giving dogs plenty of space to roam, play and get some fresh air. There are also cosy areas around the house for relaxing, with stair gates used where needed to keep everyone safe. Most importantly, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection and care while they’re with me. 🐾

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.

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.

“We were delighted with the service Abby provided in taking care of our three Ragdoll cats. Abby was professional, she sent us photographs of the cats whilst we were on holiday, which brought us joy knowing they were in good hands.”

I provide feeding, fresh water, exercise, enrichment, grooming where needed, and regular health monitoring each day. I also ensure living areas are kept clean and that each animal receives plenty of love, attention, and positive interaction. My flexible schedule means I am able to adapt to the individual needs of each pet, whether that involves walks, playtime, administering medication if required, or simply providing companionship. Whether it's playful dogs, curious cats, or small mammals, every animal is given a safe, happy, and caring environment where their welfare is my priority. Your pets will feel right at home with me. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where animals can relax, play, and thrive.

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.

“I was so pleased to have Ann visit and feed my cat whilst I was away for a couple of days. Communication was easy and I felt confident that my cat was left in good hands, which indeed she was. Thank you!”

Kathryn W.

“As always, Elizabeth took excellent care of our cat whilst we were away. She was attentive to her needs and is building a lovely relationship with a normally very anxious kitty! We received lots of updates and photographs which allowed us to relax knowing all was in good hands ☺️”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have personally owned four cocker spaniels, giving me hands-on experience with energetic, affectionate breeds. I’m confident with walking, feeding, bathing and providing lots of care and reassurance, and I always treat pets like family. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine alongside my uni studies. I’m organised, flexible, and able to plan my schedule around bookings. I’m available for regular drop-ins, walks, and sitting, and I always make sure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, and care while owners are away. I always prioritise safety, trust, and routine when caring for pets. I follow owners’ instructions closely, keep environments calm and secure, and ensure pets feel comfortable and well cared for in their own home.

About: I’m an 18-year-old female living on a farm, with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals. I have two dogs of my own, including one who is quite nervous, so I understand the importance of patience, attention, and tailoring walks to suit each dog’s individual needs. I’m also confident handling larger, energetic dogs—my spaniels certainly keep me on my toes! At home, I care for an indoor cat who loves plenty of affection, so I’m equally comfortable providing gentle, attentive care for cats. I’m looking to offer dog walking and pet sitting alongside my studies, combining my passion for animals with staying active, while making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I am currently studying radiology My availability’s are: Monday 3-5pm Tuesday 9-11am Wednesday 9am-5pm Thursday 2-5pm Friday 1-3pm Saturday & Sunday all day If you do have any requests for other times feel free to get in contact and i may be able to be flexible however this is my current time frames I focus on keeping things safe, calm, and consistent for every pet. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible and take note of any specific needs, whether that’s a nervous dog who needs a bit more patience or a high-energy dog that needs proper handling on walks. In an owner’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all instructions around feeding, exercise, and care. I make sure pets are secure at all times—checking leads, gates, and surroundings. At my home on the farm, there’s plenty of space, but pets are always supervised in a safe environment, I am very aware of the ability dogs and cats may have as I’ve seen my puppy jump a big gate . Overall, I just aim to keep pets comfortable and well looked after while and for their owners to feel comfortable and confident their pets will be safe

I provide a calm, secure, and welcoming home where your dog will feel completely at ease. Your dog/s will have constant care, attention, and plenty of affection throughout their stay. I’m home full-time, so your dog’s routine, safety, and happiness are always my priority. I have a large, fully secure garden with 7ft fencing and a locked gate, giving dogs plenty of space to play, explore, and enjoy themselves safely. I share my home with my friendly Irish Setter, Rory, who is gentle, playful, and great with other dogs. He loves company and helps create a relaxed, social environment for visiting dogs. I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages — from young puppies to senior dogs — and I’m confident supporting different needs, routines, and personalities. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter, slower pace, I will adapt to them.

The garden is a great size for all breeds, with plenty of room to play, explore, and enjoy a good run around. Large patio doors open directly onto the garden, allowing dogs to move freely between inside and outside when appropriate. They can also be closed to create a calm, cosy space for rest and nap times. Inside, the home is open-plan with plenty of room to relax, along with soft furnishings and lots of toys to keep dogs happy and entertained. For added safety, all human food is kept well out of reach, so you can feel confident your dog is in a secure and carefully managed environment.
