“Our experience with Kate has been, once again, amazing! Luna absolutely adores her, and Kate makes sure to always send lots of photos and a meaningful summary of her visit, which takes away all the stress of leaving your pet with someone else.”


About: I have been a small dog owner for 14 years and grew up in a house of various animals, from birds, dogs, cats, and small mammals to reptiles giving me some extensive hands on knowledge and care experience for all animals. For your assurance I am First Aid for Animals accredited and currently studying to complete my Level 3 Award in Canine Care, Behaviour & Welfare. Pet care is a core part of my daily and weekly routine, as it’s the main focus of my business. I plan my schedule around client bookings to ensure I have enough time for each pet’s needs without rushing. This includes daily drop-in visits, feeding routines, playtime, and any other tasks agreed with the owner. I also allow time for travel, updates to clients, and proper record-keeping. I’m committed to being reliable and consistent, so pets and owners can count on me to show up and provide the best care every time. When caring for pets in a pet owner's home, I aim to maintain their usual routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. During drop-in visits, I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean up any messes, and provide companionship and playtime if needed. I always check their general well-being and behavior to make sure they're healthy and happy. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel reassured while they’re away. Every visit is tailored to the pet’s individual needs and preferences.

“We are so grateful for Sarah! She took such wonderful care of our cat, Liam. He’s usually quite reserved, but he immediately warmed up to her — a true sign of her gentle nature and experience with animals. It’s rare to find someone who can make an unfriendly cat feel safe and happy, but Sarah managed it effortlessly. Knowing Liam was in such good hands gave us real peace of mind. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and truly gifted cat caretaker!”

About: With several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, I understand that every pet has their own personality and unique needs. From energetic puppies who need structured play and basic training, to senior pets who require gentle care and medication support, I provide personalized attention and a calm, loving environment. What sets me apart is my patience, intuition, and ability to quickly build trust with animals. I’m experienced in crate routines, administering oral medications, and recognizing early signs of stress or discomfort in pets. I treat every animal like family—because they are. Im currently working full time from 9-5:00pm. I am available after that timing and weekends too. However I can be very flexible because I can work from home and I can take my laptop everywhere if you need an urgent and saver pet sitter. When caring for pets in their own home, my top priorities are safety, routine, and creating a calm, familiar environment. I follow your pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to minimize stress while you’re away. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and well-being, updating you regularly with messages, photos, and videos for peace of mind. I always treat your home with the utmost respect—cleaning up after myself and your pet, following any house rules, and ensuring everything is left just as I found it. I double-check doors, gates, and litter/waste areas to maintain a safe space, and I’m comfortable administering medications or managing special care routines if needed. You can trust that I’ll care for your pet like they’re my own, with patience, attention to detail, and lots of affection.

“Teresa was absolutely incredible. From our initial meet and greet you can tell that she absolutely loves animals. I was really nervous leaving my cat Annie since she is timid and doesn’t like new people. However, Annie instantly went up to Teresa when they first met which she never does with new people! I felt comfortable leaving Annie with Teresa since I knew she would be in good hands. Teresa was incredibly accommodating and sent me photos with every check in. She’s an absolute star, I’ll most definitely book her again next time I need a pet sitter.”

About: Hi, I’m Hayleigh! I’ve been passionate about dogs for as long as I can remember and have hands-on experience training and caring for them. I’ve raised and trained two wonderful dogs from puppies: my Rottweiler and my chocolate Labrador, Pippa. Pippa has been a joy to train, and we’ve built a strong bond through consistent training and fun activities. I’m also currently working on scent training with my Rottweiler, which has been an exciting and rewarding experience. In addition to my own dogs, I’ve had the pleasure of walking and caring for dogs belonging to neighbors, family, and friends. I love spending time outdoors and make sure every dog I walk is happy, engaged, and having fun. Whether it’s a game of fetch, hide-and-seek, or exploring areas full of interesting scents, I tailor each walk to suit the dog’s personality and needs. I work part-time in a school, which allows me to offer flexible availability for dog walking and sitting. Your dog will always have my full attention and care, and their happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I’m currently working part time therefore have the time to dog sit or walk in my free time. I can also work remotely when needed so can be available to dog/ cat sit. My children are at school so can work around school hours. I am experienced in crate training, toilet training and walking small and big dogs. I make sure that enough toilet breaks and walks are given. I can administer any medicine as have had to do this with other dogs and my own dog regularly.
