Cat Sitting West Lindsey

About: As a qualified veterinary surgeon, I bring professional knowledge and a genuine love of animals to every pet I care for. I have owned and worked with dogs, cats, small animals and horses for many years. I offer reliable dog walking in the countryside, giving dogs the opportunity to enjoy fresh air, enrichment, and exercise while being carefully supervised. Walks are tailored to each dog’s needs, whether that’s energetic adventures, gentle strolls for older dogs, or structured walks for younger or more nervous dogs. I own two dogs myself who love to make new friends on walks, and a 4x4 for safe transport. In addition to walking, I'm happy to provide visits for medication administration, toilet breaks or enrichment. Short overnight stays at our home, and cat or small animal care. I treat every animal as if they were my own — making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Having a veterinary professional caring for your pet offers an extra level of reassurance while you’re away. I work four days a week, so I unfortunately cannot commit to set daily walks. However, I love to get out exploring on my days off. I am offering longer adventure walks for dogs in new places to mix up their daily routine and have a fun day out. Ideal for owners who maybe dont have the time or ability to climb hills or traipse the countryside! I can offer short stays mainly over weekends if required. I aim to only board over my time off so I can spend quality time with your pets. However, if the owner is agreeable I can take pets to work with me or they can relax at home. I have a large secure boot for transport with a dog guard. I can accommodate dogs upfront with a seat belt too if they prefer. I would always keep dogs on leads unless the owner species otherwise. I have an enclosed garden, on a quiet road. Seperate rooms for feeding away from my pets if needed.

About: I am a Registered Veterinary Nurse with experience caring for dogs in both clinical and everyday settings. I am confident handling a wide range of temperaments, from energetic puppies to more nervous or reactive dogs. My clinical background means I am comfortable with basic medication administration, monitoring wellbeing, and following veterinary guidance when needed. I always prioritise safety, calm handling, and maintaining each dog’s normal routine to reduce stress. I aim to provide reliable, attentive care so owners feel confident their dog is in safe hands. I provide pet care alongside my part-time role in a veterinary practice. This allows me to offer consistent and reliable walks and visits throughout the week, ensuring pets receive regular attention and care. I am organised and dependable, and I always complete visits as agreed so pets can maintain their normal routines with minimal disruption. I am happy to follow any specific care instructions to ensure each pet is well looked after and comfortable. As part of my job, I have recieved professional training in animal handling and recognising signs of stress. When caring for pets in their home, I take a calm, respectful, and professional approach at all times. I follow owner instructions carefully, maintain a safe and secure environment, and prioritise each pet’s wellbeing and comfort. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, settled, and well cared for while their owner is away.

“Rhi was brilliant. Excellent communication and took great care of my two cats. She sent lovely photos which was really reassuring. I was worried that my scaredy cat in particular would hide away but Rhi sent lovely photos of him hanging out with her. Will definitely ask Rhi to cat sit again ?”

“I can highly recommend Wendy! She fed my cat Eddie whilst we were away and kept us updated with photos which reassured us all was well and Eddie who is a shy timid cat was happy to come out from under the sofa for tickles, which is the seal of approval from him, thank you Wendy 😊”

“Charlotte was fantastic with our cat, Maggie - she gave us regular updates & really put our minds at ease, she can be quite a nervous cat but seemed really settled when we arrived home, like we’d never been away! Thank you Charlotte! Xx”

Becki M.

“Hannah was a real help to us being able to go away. She was very communicative and helpful and we will certainly ask her to look after our cat again.”

About: My experience working with dogs is extensive, having had them as pets for 20 years of my life. At my childhood home we have 3 dogs and 1 cat in the house- so an absolute a madhouse! I have been relied on to walk, feed and bathe the dogs under my care and have house sat multiple friends and family pets. I specialise in the care of small-medium size dogs as this is where my experience lies but I would be happy to look after larger dogs if you don't mind the occasional foray onto google. I have also looked after a dog with epilepsy so i have experience giving regular and emergency medication when necessary. I have looked after 4 litters of puppies and a litter of kittens, toilet training them and teaching basic skills such as sit, fetch and return. We even had to bottle feed one litter of puppies as the mother was not producing milk so I understand the full time care and responsibility that owners require to keep their pets safe and happy. I work 8-5 during the weekdays, two of which I work from home so I have some flexibility when it comes to my schedule. However, I am fully available on weekends unless stated otherwise on my calendar. In my home dogs will be treated like part of the family, given lots of love hugs and attention but still discipline when needed. I like to provide each with a safe space using soft furnishings or a crate if possible so they can retreate of needed. Usually I will crate dogs at night or if I leave the house, which is not often. They are fed and walked (for at least 30 minutes) twice a day, once in the morning and once at night with their regular food. Water is, of course, constantly available and the back door to the garden is open whenever possible. Though I should note that I let dogs out at least once every 2 hours so they can do their business and if a garden is not available then I would take the dog out on the lead outside. In regards to discipline, I usually prefer the carrot over the stick, rewarding dogs when they have done well with first treats and later just a clicker or toy. However if punishment is necessary I would only ever tap the dog on the nose and state a firm no, hitting is never required. For example, if the dog has urinated in the house, I would sharply tap them on the nose, state no, putting their nose in their urine and then simply place them where they need to be - usually outside or on a toilet training area (e.g. newspaper). In regards to safety while walking, I would either use a harness or collar and a non-extendable lead. A dog would not be left off a lead until I have walked with them at least 5 times and built a relationship with them to avoid the dog running off or back home. I usually go to a green area nearby when walking the dogs and like to let them run around wherever possible in the garden, often leaving the door open so they can run in and out. I do of course recognise that all owners have different methods for providing a home for their furry pet so I would defer to whatever rules are already in place with whomever I am hired by.
