Pet 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!”

About: I have cared for two dogs for 18 years of my life - a Jack Russel named Ralph and a Collie cross Lab named Martha. When I was 16, obtained a Level 3 qualification in Animal Management at Shuttleworth College. Here, I acquired husbandry skills for a wide range of animals such as reptiles and exotics to goats and wallabies. I graduated from the University of Lincoln this year with a first class with honours degree in Animal Behaviour and Welfare. I cared for and trained several dogs through the university. I further worked full time at a Doggy Day Care for 4 months - walking all breeds and sizes!! Currently, I am studying MSc Clinical Animal Behaviour at Lincoln, with hopes of becoming an accredited clinical animal behaviourist. I am currently completing this Masters by attending lectures every Monday and Tuesday. I am looking to work between Wednesdays and Fridays as this best fits my study schedule. Within an owner’s home, I will follow all instructions provided, keeping their pets in a safe environment at all times and only using positive reinforcement techniques.

So pet sitting is an option. My family have owned pets since i was born, so have experience with dogs and training puppies. Have previously looked after dogs for family and friends. I am reliable, trustworthy individual. I have lots of experience looking after my mums dog. I am happy to walk them as much or as little as you like. And can be flexible in my approach to looking after them. Just let me know any special requirements, so i can make them feel as comfortable as i can and ensure you are relaxed with your fur baby being with someone else. I'm currently working full time, but have loads of holiday time coming up. So can look after them during the week and on weekends. I have a decent size garden, that has a secure fence, there is plenty of grass space that your fur babys can enjoy. My house is both wooden floor and carpet.

“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.”

I work in the Chesterton area, and am able to do walks early morning and later afternoon! I unfortunately cannot board your pets at my home. However, I will ensure they stay safe and loved under my care, regular walks, and lots of cuddles!

“I would HIGHLY recommend Alison. Great communication, was able to take a holiday knowing everything was in hand, she was very caring with the animals and went above and beyond. Will be using Alison again in the future. Thanks for looking after everyone.”

About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I offer trusted, compassionate support tailored to each pet’s needs — from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs. What sets me apart is my calm, confident approach, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. As an NHS nurse, I'm experienced with administering medication, managing special diets, and understanding canine behavior, so your pet is not only safe but also happy and cared for like family. Your beloved pet will always have a playmate, thanks to the joyful company of our equally loving pets! I work from home two days a week and am fully available on weekends, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just company throughout the day, I’m able to fit pet care naturally into my routine and ensure your dog gets the time and attention they deserve. At my home, pets enjoy a safe and welcoming environment with a fully fenced garden and the company of my three friendly dogs.

I treat every dog like part of the family, and I’m happy to follow your routines and preferences to ensure consistency and trust.

“Jess was very accommodating, even though I booked her last minute for a trip. She was very helpful with suggestions for the dogs as I recently moved to the area. It was such a relief knowing the dogs were being taken care of while I was gone. I will use her again and again!”

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).

“William does drop in visits for my 2 year old Miniature Dachshund, for 3 days every week. Williams’s communication is outstanding, updating me after each visit and ensuring Kit is happy whilst I’m at work. I would recommend William to anyone and everyone looking for pet care.”

Nicole M.

“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!

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