Cat Sitting in West Dorset

“Thanks so much to Agata for another helpful few days looking after our pets and home. Agata is truly wonderful and we cannot recommend her highly enough!”

“Emilie was brilliant! Super friendly and sent us daily updates and photos. Emilie has a great way with animals - our very sassy cat approached Emilie when she first met her which is unheard of with strangers for our antisocial Nova. I would certainly recommend her and book Emilie again.”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! She looked after Marshmallow and Bambi so well – they were both calm, happy, and clearly well cared for when I returned. I really appreciated the updates, photos, and detailed messages while I was away – it gave me total peace of mind. She was reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely kind with my cats. Highly recommend!”

About: Experienced pet sitter of nearly 10 years. Leaving your pet is always difficult but they will be in good hands and have a mini holiday of their own! I’ve looked after all sorts of adorable pets from rabbits to horses and everything in between in flats, houses and farms and for the stars . I have two dogs of my own, and have an experience looking after nervous and reactive dogs and always ensure I follow owner’s instructions and what’s best for the animal (i.e. if space is needed around people or other dogs). Age of the animal isn’t a problem and I’m happy and experienced looking after young to old! They will always get love and attention and plenty of play time. I will always send photos and updates to the owner too. I currently work 9-5 Monday to Friday from home with only 1 week day in the office, I’m home on the weekends so plenty of time to help out. I have two dogs with my family at home. I will stick to your animals needs as much as possible so there is little disruption to their normal routine. Walking, feeding, sleep and play time. When booking, please make sure all instructions and schedules are provided so I can match it as close as possible.

“Very lovely would really recommend, sent lots of updates and took some of their own stuff for my cat so she had regular fresh water. Would definitely book again in the future x”

About: Have had experience caring for pets individually (dogs, cats, horses etc) for 8 years. Have had the pleasure of knowing and looking after a wide range of dogs, from old to young and big to small. I am very outdoorsy (though would never turn down the excuse to cuddle with more layed back pups all day) and lucky enough to be situated near many lovely, quiet footpaths along with land of my own. Now i have finished my Alevels i am left with a lot of time to fill. I spend a lot of time outside hiking/ excersising. I also genrally find myself at the gym most evenings (ofcourse not if i am needed elsewhere) Most of my land is unfenced (there are animal proof gates/ fences along the road), however i do have an area fenced off suited to the more 'adventurous' souls. I also have a dog of my own, though quite independant, who can be around/ not around your dogs for company. Likewise i have ponies in the back of my land.

“Tianna took really good care of my little girly. Even though the weather was really hot and couldn't go out for walks, she made sure Tilly had the best of time with one-one play.”

About: I have always had animals in my life, having my first responsibility for animal care at the age of 9 when I was lucky enough to loan a pony, this gave me a fundamental understanding of the love and care animals need and I have continued my love for providing happy and fulfilling lives for pets since then. I have lived in the same small village since the age of 10 where I now help my elderly neighbours with the weekly dog walking when they need me. I have owned and cared for my pets through each stage of their life, meeting their additional care needs through the later stages of their life providing them with the most comfortable experience possible. Toby (my partner) who often accompanies me on house sits so that we are able to balance working and caring for your pets to the best standard between us, has also had a lifetime of experience with pets. We currently have two cats together that we both equally adore. Both me and Toby are currently working and studying part time so between us we have lots of time to play and fuss over your pets. We aim to prioritise your pets usual daily routine to provide them with the most comfortable experience with me. I will keep your pets company, providing lots of attention whilst keeping up their required exercise.

“Alyce was a great help and assurance with our cat, Binx, whilst away on holiday. Lovely peace of mind knowing she was in safe and friendly hands!”

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs, I adopted a rescue pup 8 years ago who lives with my Dad. I miss him so much and would love to spread some love to some other cats and doggies in my area. I work as a freelancer so my work is online and I choose my hours, meaning I have lots of flexibility to add some extra joy into my days. I have experience with reactive dogs and while I can’t offer boarding in my own home, I find that animals are much more comfortable in their own homes and surrounding areas. If your dog is particularly reactive to new people, I am happy to set up a meeting beforehand in a neutral setting to get them familiar with me.

“I booked Ruth for a sit and walk. Both dogs absolutely loved her. We met up before the booking so we could make sure the dogs and I were both comfortable and we felt that she was a perfect match. Ruth is very professional and friendly with a real passion for what she does. During the appointment Ruth sent photos of the dogs having a great time. I would highly recommend her and I will be definitely using her services again. Thank you Ruth you helped make our day ?”

When caring for your cat in your home, I prioritize maintaining their established safe and comfortable environment. I will adhere to your instructions regarding any specific areas or items your cat uses or prefers. I am meticulous about cleanliness during my visits, ensuring feeding areas are tidy and litter boxes are cleaned as requested. Because animal care is my passion, you can be assured that your cat will receive attentive and loving care in their familiar surroundings. I am observant and will quickly notice any changes in behavior or well-being and will communicate any concerns to you promptly. You can trust that I will treat your home with respect and follow all your instructions carefully.
