Cat Sitting Swavesey

About: I have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. With a strong background in animal health and wellbeing, I’m confident in administering medications, monitoring behavior, and providing attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. Your pets will be treated like family—kept safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work Monday-Friday and am available on weekends, mornings and evenings during the week and can stay overnight in your home. I’m happy to walk dogs if we can discuss timings in advance around my current responsibilities. I don’t bring cats or dogs into my home as I have my own pets but happy to look after small animals in my home. Im happy to stay at your home.

“Thank you Hannah for looking after Barney today. He loved his walk and having some company - and seemed much happier that he’d had someone to see him while we were out. An absolute pleasure to talk too. Great communication and clearly loves animals. We’d love to have you back very soon. Highly recommended!”

“Cosmo loves being looked after by Eli. He was very excited to see her when she picked up the key! Total peace of mind while we were away with updates and photos. Have come back to a happy and relaxed cat. ”

Rachel F.

“So nice knowing the cats were so well looked after. We could see from the photos sent how comfortable they were with Kristine meaning we could relax and enjoy our break away. Would definitely recommend Kristine, it is clear to see how much she loves animals”

“Sophie was really good with my nervous dog and kept me up to date with how she was during her visits”

Stacey P.

“Our cat was fed and happy when we got back and we got plenty of lovely piccies showing she was doing well while we were away. Philippa and David also happily rescued a parcel for us that the postie left out in the rain! Thanks so much you guys :)”

About: I have many years of experience caring for and walking dogs, including owning Jack Russells for a long time. I’m confident handling energetic dogs, understand the importance of exercise and routine, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Pet care fits easily around my schedule as I work weekdays from 10am to 2pm, meaning I’m available for morning walks, afternoon visits, and flexible bookings outside these hours, including evenings and weekends. In my home, pets are cared for in a safe and calm environment with a fully fenced garden for secure outdoor time. I currently have an older Jack Russell who is very chilled and used to being around other dogs, helping create a relaxed and friendly atmosphere for any pets staying or visiting.

“This is the second time Marie has looked after Romeo when we are away. Romeo obviously likes her and she is really great with him. She always let's us know how he is and sends great photos. I would highly recommend Marie to anyone who needs there pet looked after.”

“Rosie was absolutely fantastic and I would highly recommend her. This is the first time I have used this service and I am so happy with everything, from initial booking to the standard of pet sitter. Rosie’s communication from our first initial contact and throughout her looking after my pets was excellent as well as her time keeping and care of all my fur babies. If you need a a trustworthy service I would recommend. Thanks Rosie 😊🐶🐾”

About: I grew up with my grandparents' dogs and cats, and they were all good childhood friends of mine. Nowadays I often take care of my friends' dogs when they are away. I currently work from home, so my time is relatively flexible and my work location can be very flexible. I can do house visits but cannot do overnight stays. I have fenced garden and an outdoor cat. I can crate a small to medium sized dog if you prefer. I could do remote work from your home to company your dogs if it's preferable (just need WiFi).

About: I have taken care of a variety of pets including dogs, my own dogs Blake and Charlie and family dogs, as well as cats and guinea pigs. I have experience in handling reactive dogs and dogs that wear muzzles. I also have experience with blind dogs. I have also earned the New Skills Academy Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Diploma and Pet First Aid Certificate, Dog Grooming Diploma, Pet Nutrition Diploma, Pet Psychology Diploma, Canine Communication Diploma which are all CPD Certified. I can provide drop-in, walk and house-sitting Friday evening through Sunday and house-sit at weekends and will make weekday availability and boarding available on my calendar when I can. I am generally available weekdays from 5:30 for pop-ins and walks. See calendar or message for availability. I have a securely fenced back garden and stairgates in my home so your pets will be secure. Should your dog require crating I have space for crates and beds of all size so your best friend will always have a home from home environment.

About: Having grown up with dogs and small animals, I am very capable of caring for them and dealing with complex behaviours. When I started dog sitting in my teens I was looking after friends and family’s pets. Since then I have accrued a great deal of experience working with new people and their pets. I am very adaptable! As a recent university graduate I am currently working as a barista during my gap year. I regularly have free evenings and with enough notice I can be available for an entire weekend/weekday day. I am anticipating a lot of availability from July onwards this summer. For more independent pets, I am able to visit between shifts and stay overnight and require minimal advanced notice. I am a very vigilant person so I am always hyper-aware of your pet’s wellbeing and whereabouts. My experience with dogs has lead me to develop fast reaction times to situations such as a dog eating something that’s not allowed.

About: I love animals (but everyone on here says that don't they!) I also have real hands-on experience dealing with rescue dogs that had a bad start so maybe a little 'minxy' in their behaviours. I had a dog as a kid and have one now with a myriad of 'quirky' behaviors. I've taken online courses in Dog Behaviours and Zoopharmacognosy (self-medication in the animal kingdom) so you know I have an avid interest in the general well-being of all animals. I will be available for daytime sits in your home, drop ins and evening sits from August. I can work from home three days a week so am happy for short mid week sits as well as long as you have a good wifi/internet signal! I have a fenced garden and 1 dog, I will care for your pet however you instruct me to but have experience crating and making up games as and when needed. I can also assist with basic puppy training and have dog reactivity experience.

“Brilliant service! Danielle visited every day and took great care of our dog, with plenty of walks and attention. I loved getting daily updates and photos through the app - It made being away so much easier, knowing she was being well looked after :) Will definitely book again!”

About: I have been caring for pets for 20+ years, including my own dog and looking after neighbours' and friends' dogs. I have experience with various breeds such as Chow Chows, Labradors, Jack Russell Terriers, Border Terriers, Cocker Spaniels, Dachshunds, English Bulldogs, Shih Tzu mixes, and Romanian rescues. I have trained my own puppy and am comfortable administering medication. I can handle multiple pets and have dealt with challenging behaviours, including helping my reactive rescue dog overcome her fears. While I don't have specific experience with special needs pets, my adaptability as a teacher allows me to provide excellent care. I can provide references from previous pet owners I have cared for. I have recently returned to work as a full-time teacher at a school in Girton. Therefore, I will not be at home during the day. However, I am still offering sitting services in the evenings and on weekends. Additionally, if you are comfortable with it, I am happy to have your pet stay at my house during the day. During the school holidays I will be able to stay at yours or have your pet at mine, where I will be at home during the day. During term time, you live somewhere with easy access to Girton, I am happy to house sit then too. I work full time, leaving for work at 7am but I do have a bit of time in the mornings. I also finish at 4pm so I also have time after work during the week. My weekends are quite free so I’d be more than happy to help out then, too! Additionally, I am more than happy to look after your furry friends during the school holidays. I ensure that the home is pet-proofed and secure, minimising any potential hazards. I follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and medication, maintaining their routine as closely as possible. I provide plenty of love, attention, and playtime to keep the pets happy and engaged. Additionally, I maintain open communication with the pet owner, providing regular updates and photos to give them peace of mind. We have a wonderful large garden which is secure as well as plenty of fantastic walking routes from our front door!

“Emma dropped in last minute to save the day for our boy George. Made sure he was fed and let out and gave our cats some extra love whilst there. Happy pets and owner all round :)”

About: I have recently returned from Guatemala where I cared for rescue cats and dogs. This has given me experience caring for animals with a range of needs in a variety of settings. I am an absolute animal lover, previously owning a Dachshund for 14 years and now two kittens. I enjoy all animal experiences and would love to care for your furry friends🐾 I am currently working part time locally, so I would have plenty of time to fit your pets needs into my schedule at your convenience! With a range of experience caring for animals, I am confident in caring for your pets based on your needs. I understand that every pet has its own personality, which I’m more than happy to accommodate.

About: I have had my own dog for 4 years and through her, I have met dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am very knowledgeable and knows signs of illness and stress in dogs. I am good at training and I am patient. I go to school and can look after your pets before and after I go to school. On the weekend, I am available most of the 2 days. I have a big fenced garden for your dog to run around in. I love all dogs and will look after them like my own.

“Really impressed with Isabelle, looked after our two cats for a week, very professional!”

“Laura is timely and reliable. She was great with my three kitties when i was away. She fed them, played with them, and sent me lovely pictures which helped to alleviate my separation anxiety. Will book again❤️”
