“Kayleigh is a very patient and kind sitter. Puss took to her immediately and I was happy to book her again. Puss had been ill and Kayleigh managed to give her the medicine and Puss still stayed friends with her. Kayleigh sent me lots of pictures while I was away so I could see how they were getting on. I don’t have many trips away now Puss has health conditions, but would always book Kayleigh. 🐈⬛😻”
About: I had a family dog since I was a teenager for 12 years and have looked after them in my spare time ever since. Now in my thirties, I've gained a lot of experience with dogs of many different ages, breeds and temperaments. I'm currently available pretty much whenever you need, for whatever you need. Whether it be just a few hours or a few days, I'm happy to help!I I live on a quiet, dog friendly cut-de-sac with lots of parks nearby. And I have a fenced garden, with plenty of space for your pup to run around and play.
“This is the first time I've used a catsitter and thanks to Kirsten I'd feel happy to again. Kirsten was easy to communicate with, responsive to messages and she took care of both my house and 2 cats very well. Thank you Kirsten!”
About: I’m offering services because I genuinely love spending time with dogs and being outdoors. There’s nothing better than seeing a happy, tail-wagging pup enjoying fresh air and exercise. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I have 23 years of experience with dogs of many breeds. I take great care of animals and treat them like they are my own. I am currently working full time during the week in the NHS but I have flexibility for evenings and weekends. I am open to work around your schedule when needed. When caring for pets in the owner’s home, I focus on keeping their normal routine exactly the same. Being in their familiar environment helps reduce stress, so I follow feeding , walking and general care instructions carefully. I respect the home by keeping everything tidy, secure, and exactly as I found it. My goal in both settings is the same: to provide loving, attentive care so your pet feels safe, happy, and well looked after while you’re away.
“Elizabeth has been amazing with our puppy, Murphy. She has been extremely attentive and caring with him and always provides us with regular updates and photos. Would definitely recommend!!”
About: As a Registered Veterinary Nurse with over 10 years of experience, I bring a level of professional knowledge and reassurance that many standard pet sitters simply can’t offer 🩺🐾 Working in veterinary practice means I am highly experienced in animal behaviour, handling and recognising subtle changes in a pet’s health or wellbeing. Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness will always be my top priority. I am trained in fear-free handling, meaning I focus on creating calm and positive experiences for pets, especially those who may feel nervous, shy or anxious around new people or environments 🤍🐶🐱 I am also an ISFM Cat Friendly Advocate and have completed additional training in cat-friendly handling, allowing me to provide gentle, stress-aware care for feline companions 🐱✨ What really makes my service different is the combination of clinical knowledge and genuine love for animals. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Alongside my professional experience, I’m also a proud dog mum to my Basset Hound Rosie, who reminds me every day how special the bond between pets and their owners truly is 🐶💚 When your pet is in my care, you can feel confident knowing they are with someone who is qualified, experienced and truly passionate about animal welfare. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as animals have always been a huge part of my life. Alongside running my pet care services, I also work part-time as a Registered Veterinary Nurse during the week, which allows me to maintain my clinical skills while still offering flexible and reliable pet sitting and drop-in visits. Because I work part-time shifts, I’m able to plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets in my care receive the time, attention and routine they need 🐶🐱 On days I am not in practice, I have much greater flexibility for longer visits, pet sitting, walks and check-ins. When I do have a shift, I ensure visits are scheduled around my working hours so pets are never left without the care and companionship they deserve. Being a veterinary nurse also means I’m very used to structured routines and planning ahead, so you can feel confident that your pet’s feeding times, walks, medication and daily routine will always be followed carefully 🩺🐾 Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, so spending my free time looking after pets fits perfectly into my lifestyle 🤍 Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my highest priority 🤍 As a Registered Veterinary Nurse with over 10 years of experience, I am trained to recognise changes in behaviour, health and wellbeing, giving owners extra reassurance while their pets are in my care. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine and individual needs so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or shy and cautious, I adapt my approach to ensure they feel safe and relaxed. I am passionate about fear-free handling, meaning I always aim to minimise stress and create calm, positive experiences for pets. This is especially important for nervous animals or those who may struggle with new environments. I will always respect your home and your pet’s usual routine — following feeding schedules, walk routines and medication instructions carefully 🐶🐱 As a pet owner myself, I know how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone new. That’s why I treat every animal with the same level of care, patience and compassion as I would my own 🐾💚 You can relax knowing your pet is being looked after by someone qualified, experienced and genuinely passionate about animal welfare.
“My pet care wasn't standard, as it involved cats and my rats. This sitter overcame her own fear of rodents and took wonderful care of them. The animals weren't stressed, and the sitter respected the cats' avoidance of contact. Interestingly, the rats were eager to play, which is a good sign, as they're usually wary. Cats and dogs can easily be bribed with treats, but rodents are impossible, and for me, that confirms that I made a good choice in sitter.”
About: At Ruby’s Retreat, your dog will join a calm, loving home with my friendly Boxer-Staffie, Ruby. She’s always enthusiastic at first but soon settles. I have years of experience caring for friends’ and family dogs. Expect playtime, cuddles, and peaceful walks in nearby fields, plus a secure, fenced garden for safe outdoor fun. I run my own sign-making business from home, so I’m here most of the day and can offer your dog plenty of attention and company. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to adapt to your dog’s routine. I do drive but I don’t have a car. However, I’m within walking distance of parks and open green spaces for varied daily exercise and fun. I regularly care for dogs belonging to friends and family, including Ruby’s two brothers, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and a Labrador. Whether it’s for a weekend or a few weeks, I treat every dog like one of my own—providing a consistent routine, lots of affection, walks, playtime, and a calm, comfortable home environment. I take time to learn each dog’s personality and needs so they feel safe, happy, and settled.
“Sarah was incredibly responsive and very well prepared. She sent updates about the pet everyday and was very knowledgeable and helpful. I would 100% recommend Sarah if you require a pet sitter :)”
About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life, with experience caring for a wide range of breeds and temperaments. Growing up with Labradors and greyhounds, and later owning my own Labrador, gave me a strong foundation in understanding dogs’ physical and emotional needs. I have extensive hands on experience with greyhounds through my family dad and his partner, which she is a greyhound trainer, as well as through kennel work caring for racing greyhounds. This background has taught me calm, confident handling and an appreciation for structure, routine, and safety. I have also run a dog walking business, working with dogs of all sizes and breeds. Alongside this experience, I offer a safe, secure fenced garden and a reliable, attentive approach to ensure every dog in my care feels secure, exercised, and well looked after. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life and something I am deeply passionate about. I have relaunched my dog walking business, which allows me to dedicate my days to caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. Your dog will be in safe hands, joining me on walks that are not only fun and engaging but also tailored to their individual needs. I have a secure, fenced garden that provides a safe and spacious area for dogs to run, play, and enjoy themselves. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and the enclosed space ensures they can explore and exercise freely in a safe environment.
About: I worked at a vets for 2 years so I’m very confident and trained in animal handling and I am used to pets with all kinds of personalities! I’m currently working remotely and so I think that dog and cat sitting would be a perfect part time job that would compliment my schedule. I will be sure to keep all gates and house boundaries secure and keeping certain rooms off limits if this is to the owners wishes.
About: I’m a retired professional who loves dogs and cats. I have had two dogs who both lived to old age: firstly Bertie the beagle (he was a typical beagle: headstrong and food motivated), then Skye the collie (nervous of strangers and dog reactive), and now I regularly look after Lottie the rescue beagle (also reactive to some dogs). I have experience walking and looking after other rescue dogs, including the Romanian and Bulgarian rescues and former street dogs my daughter fosters. Since retiring, I plan to stay as active as possible so I'd love to have doggy companions to come with me on walks in the local area, including the beautiful Daisy Nook country park which is a short walk away. I took up running a few years ago and the dogs I care for love to run alongside me with my partner and her dog. Maybe yours would too. If your dog is lonely at home all day while you work and needs a visit, or you need boarding while you are away on holiday, I can offer long walks, plenty of play and stimulation, and a quiet and peaceful home to relax in with a secure, high-fenced garden. I don't have lots of people dropping in, and there are no children or other pets so your dog will always have my full attention. I look forward to meeting you and your dogs and giving them the care, company and exercise they need.
“Nichola was very friendly and professional. She assisted with my two cats on very short notice. One of my cats is often very anxious and timid around new people but Nichola was able to put him at ease, and he liked her. I would recommend her.”
About: I worked at a dog groomers in the past and also a doggy day care. I like dogs more than most people, will travel to your home but I have a child so your dogs would have to be good with children if they are to come and stay over at our home. She loves dogs just as much as I do if not more! I’ve always had dogs of my own so and often look after friends and family dogs and cats if they ever go away. I am very flexible and almost always at home so pretty much always available to look after your beautiful fur babies :) cats are also welcome. Thank you very much for taking the time to read my profile. I appreciate it.
About: Hi, I’m Saraah 😊 I’m a calm, caring cat sitter and a cat owner myself, so I truly understand how important it is to leave your cat and your home with someone you trust. I know how different every cat can be, and I always take time to help them feel comfortable and secure in their own space. I really enjoy getting to know each cat’s personality, whether they’re playful and curious, independent, or a little shy and prefer quiet company. I take a gentle, patient approach and always let cats set the pace, keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I’m happy to help with feeding routines, fresh water, litter trays, playtime, and companionship, and I pay close attention to little things like appetite or behaviour changes. I look after cats in their own home only, where they feel most settled, and I treat that responsibility with real care and respect. I’m also very happy to send regular updates and photos 📸 so you can relax knowing your cat is safe, happy, and well cared for. 🐾 I work part-time and mostly from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility during the day. This means I can give proper time and attention during each visit, rather than rushing in and out. I’m flexible with timings and happy to work around usual routines, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I know how much trust it takes to give someone access to your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m respectful, tidy, and discreet, and I always follow instructions carefully so everything is left just as you expect. My focus is making sure everything feels calm, secure, and comfortable while you’re away.
About: Hi I'm Cait! I have a degree in animal psychology and behavioural welfare. I live on the outskirts of Cheshire but drive and I am willing to travel. I've have grown up surrounded by a variety of animals but have been professionally caring for them for 3 years, this includes puppies, rescue dogs, mane coon's, rabbits, guinea pigs, as well as a visit to Tanzania which included the conservation of wild African animals. My experience has been in not only walking animals, but in maintaining their welfare by bathing / grooming, for example bathing guinea pigs and cutting their nails, or mucking out hen enclosures. Over the past 3 years my care for animals has involved boarding them in their own home, I believe there is no better environment for an animal than in its own home and comfort. My usual routine would consist of me travelling via my own car to your home, handing over from you via text or in person to ensure I am aware of all pet needs. I provide fully comprehensive insurance which covers accidents and Injuries. I am also trained in Canine CPR and choking, allowing both me and you to ensure your animal is in safe hands

Thanks again to Kayleigh for looking after Puss while I’ve been away. Since Puss got poorly, I’ve been more nervous about leaving her, but Kayleigh keeps me updated and sends amazing pictures. Puss lives playing with her and seems so relaxed. Thanks for helping me to enjoy my break. 🥰
Nicola was absolutely brilliant. I was so nervous about leaving my cat Carlos but Nicola made it really stress free and easy. She came and met me and Carlos beforehand and sent me a video / updates whilst I was away. Will definitely be thinking of Nicola in future should I need a cat sitter, thank you Nicola!
Tia took brilliant care of our cat, fed her, played with her and sent over pictures of the visit. Our cat doesn’t usually take to newcomers but you can tell Tia is good at what she does, the cat loved her. Will be booking again and would recommend to anyone.
