About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own dog and understand the importance of routine, patience, and attention. I provide regular walks, a calm home environment, and personalised care based on each dog’s needs. I only accept dogs that are comfortable living with another dog to ensure a safe and relaxed stay. I structure my daily routine around pet care, ensuring regular walks, feeding times, and supervision throughout the day. I’m home for most of the day during the week, allowing me to maintain a consistent routine, and I’m fully available on weekends for attentive pet care. I live in a clean, and cosy apartment that’s well suited to calm, indoor living. I also have a friendly cavapoo girl at home who enjoys gentle company and helps visiting pets feel settled and relaxed.
“Wivi looked after Raya for three days while we were away. She took excellent care of her. We were able to meet up a few days before, which put us at ease. Wivi was happy to keep in touch as much or as little as we wanted and sent us photos and videos of Raya playing and enjoying a puppuccino. We would happily leave Raya with her again.”
“Sylwia was amazing. Very patient with Marnie who is a timid quiet dog. She put me at ease and peace while a way with lots of updates. Think Marnie enjoyed her stay so much that she didn't look happy to see us. Marnie had her own quiet room with access to the garden and she was so cared for..”

About: I have lived with dogs since I was a child, and my family in China has an 18-year-old small dog, so I understand how much love, patience and routine pets need at every stage of life. In the UK, I have also helped look after my friends’ dogs, including Dachshunds, Border Collies and Cocker Spaniels. I have experience with feeding, walking, playing, keeping dogs company and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and I always try to understand each dog’s personality, habits and needs. I will follow the owner’s instructions carefully and keep them updated with messages and photos. I am currently a student, so my schedule is very flexible. I am usually available on both weekdays and weekends, and I can plan around each pet’s routine. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with safe indoor space, and there is a small dog park at the apartment for walks and toilet breaks.
“We had an amazing experience with Pavithra! She took such great care of Fendi while we were away. It was clear from the updates that she was happy, comfortable, and incredibly well loved. Fendi is already missing her so much! We will absolutely book again and highly recommend Pavithra to anyone looking for a fantastic sitter!!!”
“Paulina and her family took great care of Cosy, we had never left her with people we didn’t know before. We were made to feel reassured Cosy was in great hands with daily updates and photos/videos. I would highly recommend Paulina and will definitely be using her again.”

About: We are Joe and Elise, a young professional couple, both in our late twenties. We have always lived with dogs until we moved into our own house four years ago. We used to regularly dog sit for family, but they moved away last summer. We still sporadically dog sit for friends either for the day or while they’re on holiday. We miss regularly spending time with dogs, but aren’t in a position to get one currently. We would love to spend time and look after yours! We have no pets or children in our home. We both work from home and very rarely have meetings at the same time, so will always be able to let your dog out in the garden, and take them for walks throughout the day. We have a fenced garden and no other pets or children. We live in the centre of Moseley and have access to the private park, so will be able to take your dog out for quick walks or longer strolls throughout the day.
“Yin was super friendly and took really good care of Marvel. She sent daily updates with photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

About: As a cat owner myself, I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your cat while you're away. I have experience looking after cats of different ages, personalities, and needs, and I know that every cat is unique and has their own routine and way of doing things. That's why I always take the time to get to know their routine and ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I have experience caring for kittens, adult cats, and senior cats, and I'm confident following detailed care instructions, including feeding routines, litter tray maintenance, playtime, grooming, and administering medication when required. Whether your cat is energetic and sociable or shy and independent, I'll adapt my approach to suit them. I'm reliable, calm, and attentive, and I treat every cat as if they were my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I'll keep you updated with regular messages and photos, giving you complete peace of mind while you're away. My priority is to provide loving, dependable care so your cat stays happy, relaxed, and comfortable.
“Lovely cat sitters! Hong Kui and her partner took such fantastic care of our cats while we were away for the weekend! They were so communicative and gave regular updates across the weekend. Their caring approach made our kitties relaxed and happy (even our very nervous cat!). We will absolutely book them again! 😺”
About: Hi! I’m a PhD student based in the UK and a genuine cat lover. Over the past year, I’ve regularly looked after my landlord’s cat, taking care of feeding, grooming, administering oral medication, cleaning litter trays, and providing companionship while respecting the cat’s individual personality and boundaries. I understand that every cat is different. Some are very social, while others need time and space to feel comfortable. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to their behaviour, and I always prioritise their wellbeing and routine. Whether your cat enjoys playing, cuddling, or simply having a calm and reassuring presence around, I’ll make sure they receive the care they need while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll care for your cat as if they were my own.
“Sneha did an awesome job with Bash, she sent numerous photos and a detailed summary of each day. Bash almost immediately loved her too, which is a great sign. We got home to a happy and safe cat. Would 100% book Sneha again!”
“Sophia was an absolute dream and we will definitely be using her as our regular cat sitter! She was very attentive to Poppy, washed and cleaned all the sheets, kept in regular contact with lots of lovely updates and administered some worming treatment — we didn’t know Poppy needed it, and Sophia sorted it all quickly and expertly. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience reply! I highly recommend, especially if you have a pet who requires a little more attention. Thank you so much!”
“Flexible, easy to contact and replied really quickly. Took great care of our two cats at short notice. Followed all feeding instructions and sent lots of pictures while we were away :)”

She was great at following the specific feeding instructions and gave great updates each feeding sessions. I would absolutely use Nicola again in the future.”

“Rosie was brilliant! I wasn't worried about my cat at all. She sent regular updates, was very accommodating, and even took the trash out before she left. I will definitely book her again”

“Aurora was amazing with Archer! He can be a little shy around new people at first, but she made him feel comfortable and he settled in almost immediately. She sent lots of updates, photos and videos throughout his stay, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear he was having a great time, and I’ll definitely be booking with Aurora again.

About: I love animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with both cats and dogs. I’ve had the chance to look after different pets, and I always enjoy getting to know their little personalities. I’m an architect and currently building my own small business, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they need. I’m happy to stick to their usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable and relaxed. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages, and I’ll care for your pet with the same patience and kindness I’d want for my own. I’m currently self-employed, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend quality time with your pet. I’m happy to work around their usual routine whenever possible. I’m naturally tidy and organised, and I often help people declutter and organise their homes. I’ll always respect your space and leave everything exactly as I found it.
“Harper was incredibly caring with Brownie 🥹🥰 I could see how much fun he had, and for the first time, as soon as we got home, he went straight to bed 😂. I’m truly grateful for Harper's love and attention towards him. She shared photos and updates throughout their time together, and seeing them enjoy each other and Brownie settle in peacefully gave me a deep sense of comfort and confidence that he was in good hands 🫶🏾”
“First time leaving our anxious dog with anyone. Jodie has been lovely, kept me updated with txts and pics. Louie’s had a lovely day! We’ve booked Jodie again for an overnight and I’m reassured he will be more than ok with her.”
About: Your little doggo will have the most amount of attention in our flat as we don't have any pets of our own at the moment. My partner and I grew up (separately!) having both had Yorkshire terriers. I love spending time with dogs, and our location in city centre in the JQ areas offers lovely little parks and walking areas perfect for local dogs who are used to the area. I have taken care of family and friends animals in the past and will care take watching your little doggo. A little bonus is we have a vet who is a friend and neighbour in the building! I work from home so I'm very flexible. I would at minimum walk a dog twice a day: once in the morning and once in the evening before dinner. If you have specific walking times I am happy to accommodate them if possible. We have a big two bedroom, with a nice large living room/kitchen. It is still a flat so at the moment we're only accepting small-medium doggos for their own comfort.
About: I used to work part-time as a dog walker in New York City whilst living there from 2016-2018 and it doesn't get much more stressful than that! I walked dogs all over the city with the Wag app and had a 5⭐️rating. I have experience walking all different types of dog breeds in one of the busiest cities on earth, so rest assured I will provide your dog with a safe and enjoyable walking experience. I am the go-to petsitter for my friends and family and have cared for small, medium, and large dogs, puppies and senior dogs. I am a lifelong animal-lover and grew up with a Dalmatian dog (Pebbles) and two cats (Poppy and Iris). I do not have any pets so your dog will get my undivided attention! I am currently working from home on a freelance basis so my time is flexible. I can structure my day around your pet's needs and provide plenty of walks and breaks outside. I live next to several green spaces and can easily access fantastic walking routes of all different lengths for your dog. I am an incredibly structured and reliable person, so I can cater my time around your pet.
“Wivi became Chumbo’s fav sitter for sure, everything is also easy with her and her partner, you can tell they truly care about your pet. Thank you so much for all you do for Chumbo 🩷”

“Simeon was absolutely fantastic! My dog Baloo has severe separation anxiety but with Simeon's expertcare what I thought was going to be a nightmare turn out to be stress free and enjoyable for both Baloo and I. Simeon made sure that Baloo had all the exercise and attention that he needed as well as a very flexible schedule for drop-off and pick-up that worked around my chaotic work schedule. I would definitely recommend him personally to anybody looking for someone to care for their pet like they would themselves!”

About: Hi! I’m a dog mom currently on a career break and new to the area, which means I have the time, flexibility, and genuine enthusiasm to care for your pets. I’ve had experience with both cat sitting and dog sitting, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality—whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, or just keeping them company and comfortable at home. I also have a sweet 4-year-old Goldendoodle named Bodhya, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, exercise needs, and the level of care and attention pets deserve. Being a pet parent myself, I understand how important trust and communication are, and I’ll always keep you updated while you’re away. Since I’m new to the city, I’m excited to meet my neighbors—especially the furry ones! I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine right now. I’m currently on a career break, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to plan my days around the pets I’m caring for. I already structure my day around my own dog, Bodhya, so walks, feeding times, and play are a regular part of my routine. I’m used to being consistent and attentive, whether that’s making time for exercise, enrichment, or just keeping pets company. For cats, I’m comfortable doing drop-in visits throughout the day or evening, and I always make sure to spend quality time with them—whether they prefer interactive play or just a calm presence nearby. Because I’m not juggling a full-time job at the moment, I can be reliable, responsive, and flexible with timing, including weekends. Pet care isn’t something I’m squeezing in—it’s something I genuinely enjoy building my routine around. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and personality. For drop-ins or house sitting, I stick to their usual schedule—feeding, fresh water, litter or walks—and follow any specific instructions. With cats, I respect their space and build trust at their pace, whether that means playtime or just a calm presence. For dogs, I ensure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment while keeping their routine consistent. I always treat pets like my own and keep owners updated with regular photos and messages.
“Right, well I thought Ivan was excited when he arrived last time, but today Ming got the full ‘squeal like a pig’ excitement from him when he saw her 😂 The squeal is reserved for his most favourite people, so I knew he was going to have a lovely day 🥰🐶”
About: I have hands-on experience with dog sitting, including caring for my own dog, which has given me a strong understanding of daily routines, behaviour, and overall pet wellbeing. I’ve also successfully looked after neighbours’ pets, building trust with both owners and their dogs. I’m particularly confident with puppies and their needs, but I’m equally comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, ensuring they feel safe, well cared for, and happy in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I work from home during the week, allowing me to give dogs consistent attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I’m able to incorporate walks, feeding, playtime, and regular check-ins easily alongside my schedule. I don’t work weekends, which means I’m fully available for extended care, boarding, or last-minute needs. Overall, I have a very flexible routine and am generally available, making it easy for me to accommodate different pet care requirements. I plan to provide a safe, fun, and structured environment for your dog while they’re in my care. I have a range of toys to keep them mentally stimulated and entertained, as well as crates available if they’re used to having their own space to relax. There’s also a park nearby where I’ll take them for regular walks, exercise, and playtime. I have a dog of my own too, so your dog will have friendly company and social interaction, helping them feel comfortable and engaged throughout their stay.
“Sylvia was very welcoming to Ralph and very set up for dogs. She sent us photos of what they had been up to and had very good communication. We plan to use Sylwia again soon.”
About: I am patient with dogs, but I will stop them from doing the wrong thing in time. I will use food to train dogs, such as sitting, shaking hands, lying down, etc. I am currently studying, and usually I have a lot of free time on Saturdays and Sundays, but I also have different periods of free time on Mondays and Fridays. My home is a two-room apartment, which is very large. And the apartment I live in is a pet-friendly apartment. Many residents here have their own pets. I believe your pet will have a good time in my home.

About: I have spent my life surrounded by animals, and I cannot imagine it any other way. Over the years I have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, parrots, turtles, fish, sheep, and many others. Each one has taught me something new, and that range of experience has made me a calm, observant, and adaptable carer. I have a particular soft spot for dogs. I see them as gentle, loyal little companions who give so much love so freely, and I believe they deserve to be cared for with patience, respect, and genuine attention. Because animals cannot use words, I pay close attention to their behaviour, body language, habits, and small changes in mood. To me, this is how real trust is built. A formative experience for me was caring for a rescue Corgi who had a limb amputation. Over two years with her, I came to understand how much consistency, gentle handling, and emotional reassurance can mean to an animal who has been through difficulty. I never consider myself an expert, because every animal continues to teach me more. I currently share my home with two cats, and I have experience with small and exotic pets, including a wonderfully long-lived hamster. I am comfortable following detailed feeding routines, keeping food and litter areas clean, giving medication when needed, and sending regular photo updates so you can feel reassured while you are away. What matters most to me is simple: your pet should feel safe, loved, and understood. I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to your pet’s routine. I’m available for both short-term and long-term care—feel free to get in touch anytime. I maintain a calm, clean environment, follow routines carefully, monitor behavior, and provide updates. In owners’ homes, I respect their space and pets’ familiar habits.
“Ben was lovely and provided updates on every walk to me and planned each day with my mom. It was a difficult week due to the weather but Olive enjoyed her walks and I was pleased she could get out with Ben”
“Sylvia did a great job. Thank you so much for taking my wee boy for a walk. Booked in last minute and she reply in few minutes. Highly recommend Sylvia. She provide pictures and tracking so I know exactly where my dog is :) I will use her service again in the future. Monica.”
About: I was around dogs and cats since I was 4. Over time developed strong passion and deep understanding of their mood. Big part of my childhood summers spent with dogs at my grandparents house. I was caring about a lot of cats and walked some of them on backyards. Overall had experience with different pets - my own, family’s and friend’s My studying year in university ended and I don’t have other job at the moment, so I have a lot of time to care and play with your dogs or cats at any time Since I will be standing in your home, your pet will be relaxed, feeling safe and comfortable in their familiar territory. Can give attention or space depending on their mood and personality
About: I've been looking after my friends' dogs since 2021 whenever they're away on holiday or travelling for work. Over the years, I've learned how to take care of dogs. I'm a patient, responsible, and caring person who genuinely loves spending time with dogs. Whether it's going for walks, playing, sticking to their usual routine, or simply giving them plenty of attention and cuddles, I always aim to provide the same level of care that I would want for my own. I am currently finishing up my PhD, so I have a very flexible schedule since I don't have a traditional 9-5 office job. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I enjoy spending time with animals. I always care for each pet according to their individual routine and the owner's instructions. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I take the time to learn about their feeding schedule, exercise routine, favourite activities, and any special requirements. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Laryssa was easy to communicate with when arranging Hank’s pickup and made the whole process seamless. She was fantastic with him, and it was clear he was well cared for. I would highly recommend Laryssa to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker.”
“I was really happy that Nicola came to my house to meet my dogs and I before she walked them. I would not have felt comfortable handing over my precious dogs if she had not done so. They have walked with her quite happily and are clearly comfortable going with her which is a huge vote of confidence I think. I am very happy with the service provided by Nicola and would most definitely recommend her to others.”
About: I've basically grown up surrounded by paws and wagging tails - there's been a dog in my life since before I was even born! I adopted my two golden fur babies from different families, and they're now living the royal life back home in India with my family while I study overseas. I miss them every single day, so spending time with other dogs here would make me so happy. I've got around 22 years of experience with dogs and a lifetime of love (and slobbery kisses). If you ask me whether I'm a dog or cat person - honestly, I'd pet a crocodile if it dont think I am food! 🐾♥️ “I’m usually available from 2 PM to 10 PM, and sometimes till around 11:30 PM if I don’t have early classes or assignment deadlines. I’m doing my post-grad right now, so my schedule can change a bit depending on unisveristy ~ This isn’t just a job for me — I really love being around animals and taking care of them I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets are treated like family.

I am happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s normal routine and keeping their environment clean, calm and stress-free. As a cat owner myself, I am experienced in feeding routines, litter tray maintenance and recognising when a pet may need extra attention. I will treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would expect for my own, and I am happy to provide regular updates throughout my visits.

I’m confident with all ages and temperaments, including nervous rescues, energetic pups, and senior pets who just want a calm, loving presence. I am experienced with medication, special diets, anxious animals, and pets who just need a bit of extra patience. I treat every pet like they are my own, whether that means tug-of-war in the garden, quiet lap time, or translating their unique version of “feed me now”. What sets me apart is a calm approach, strong intuition, and the ability to earn trust. Pet care is a regular part of my weekly routine and something I genuinely enjoy. I am flexible with mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m looking after. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or overnight stays, I make sure your pet gets consistent, calm, and loving attention throughout the day. I always allow extra time for cuddles, belly rubs, and the occasional game of fetch (or staring contest with a cat!). Whether I am caring for your pet in my home or theirs, safety and comfort always come first. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, temperament, and specific needs so they feel secure and relaxed from the start. I make sure their environment is calm, clean, and free from hazards, and I always supervise them closely, especially during walks, mealtimes, and any interactions with other animals. I keep to the routines they are used to, including feeding times, medication (if needed), and preferred sleeping spots. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured that their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I am an experienced and highly reliable pet sitter with many years of experience from both having my own pets and caring for other people's dogs and cats (and the odd tortoise!). I am also fully DBS checked and insured, so you can have peace of mind leaving your pets with me :) I have 3 pets myself, 2 cats and a rabbit, and have always loved looking after animals. I have looked after both senior and young dogs and cats, and I would love to take care of your pet! I work part time, so will have plenty of time to play with your pets! I currently provide house sitting, day care and drop in visits in the comfort of your own home, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and is well looked after while you are away. I love exploring in and around Birmingham, especially green spaces, and I'm sure your pets would love to join me!
About: Your dog isn’t just a pet—they’re family, and I treat them like my own! Unlike other sitters who may have multiple dogs at once, I keep my bookings limited to give your pup my full attention. I offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times and last-minute bookings for busy pet parents. My goal is to make this process as easy as possible for both you and your pup! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or cozy evening cuddles, I make sure every pup gets the attention and care they need throughout the day. I prioritize sticking to their routines, providing plenty of exercise, and giving them all the love and companionship they deserve while you're away. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment whether caring for pets in my home or at the owner's home. In my home, I make sure they have a cozy space, plenty of playtime, regular walks, and lots of affection. If I’m caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. From feeding schedules to exercise and companionship, I treat every pet like they’re my own!
About: Hi there! I’m a dedicated animal lover, professional dog groomer, and the owner of my own pet services business. This has given me extensive hands-on experience caring for all kinds of animals from strong, protective guard dogs to independent, sassy cats. I’m confident handling different temperaments, ages, and needs, and always tailor my care to each pet’s individual personality. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to two cats and my senior dog, Charlie, who’s now 15. Caring for an older dog has given me valuable experience with senior pets, including gentle exercise, patience, and attentive care. I genuinely enjoy long walks, enrichment time, and making sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved. As a professional groomer, I’m also very comfortable with bathing, brushing, and general coat care when needed. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them isn’t just a job for me, it’s a passion. Your pets will be treated with the same care, respect, and affection I give my own. Pet care is my full time job. I spend my days taking dogs on solo walks, group walks, adventure hikes, and swimming trips. I also help puppies with socialisation, making sure they learn confidence and good manners in a safe, positive way. I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy, whether that means feeding, walking, playtime, or snuggles. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and personality, adjusting care to ensure they’re relaxed and content. I’m fully insured, first aid trained, and DBS checked, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in safe, professional hands. Grooming, exercise, socialisation, and companionship are all part of the care I provide tailored to each pet’s unique needs.
About: I have looked after my mums family pet during my time at home and have recently helped look after her current shar pei. When I lived in Worcester, I have taken my managers dog daschund for walks and taken care of them while she was at work. I've also had many repeat owners use me for dog sitting aswell as drop ins - please see my reviews I have 2 days off a week and every evening so I am looking forward to making some furry friends and keeping active :) thanks I will check all instructions left by the owner on how to care for their pet such as their routine so it's not changed even though they aren't there. This will be tailored to each pet. If it's walks then I'll ask about their favourite places to go and how to walk them. As in not near other dogs or are they allowed off the lead etc

“Wivi looked after Raya for three days while we were away. She took excellent care of her. We were able to meet up a few days before, which put us at ease. Wivi was happy to keep in touch as much or as little as we wanted and sent us photos and videos of Raya playing and enjoying a puppuccino. We would happily leave Raya with her again.”

About: I've had dogs my entire life, our current home is comes with two furry friends who also love other dogs. With my own dogs over the years we've had extensive experience looking dogs of various breeds and also experience of dogs with different needs, one of our dogs is blind so particular experience with that Very experienced with looking after any medication needs or unique dietary needs. Between myself and family someone is home pretty much the entire time. Dog walks and, if you're dog is happy to be involved, runs are a normal part of everyday. We have plenty of spare running harnesses. Dogs are part of the family day to day. We have a large securely fenced garden which the team have constant access to, subject to the weather. Our own two dogs are a little older, but still love a play and are always happy to keep a guest company. Both our dogs very relaxed and quickly settle into having another dog around, if your dog is a little nervous, it's always good to let us know and we can arrange a meet and greet before. If your dog is used to being crated that's great, we can easily accommodate their crate or a travel crate, if not that also fine, they'll be given the space they need.

“Laura and Ben are great with our Dottie. She loves playing with Leo (and apparently bossing Oscar around) and comes back to us tired and happy (and little sad missing the boys). We feel confident and reassured she’s in good hands :)”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. My family home has never been without one. I have 2 dogs currently a 13yrs bichon frise cross and a 2yr old golden doodle cross living at my parents. They come and stay with me when my parents need dog sitting. I have looked after friends dogs of all different breeds and sizes from dachshunds to cane corso. So no matter the age or size, we would get on just fine. I’ve had cats since I was 12yrs old. My first cat was a 14yr old rescue that required extra attention with medication etc. At my parents I Currently have a cat called Nelly and her son Minford. He was 1 of the 4 kitten she had that we kept. Having a pregnant cat that gave birth in your care is an amazing experience in itself so I’m very familiar with looking after and meeting the needs of cats and kittens of all ages. I’m currently working self employed at the moment on call waiting for jobs. I can be out of the house for 1-2hrs at a time during the day or some days not at all. I live in an apartment block but have an outdoor courtyard and grass park 2 minutes walk away. They would have access to any many toilet breaks as they need and we can take a walk to the park.
“I am so grateful to Charlotte for looking after Thor, our 7 year old German Shepherd overnight! This was his first time away from home since we got him from the Dogs Trust over a year ago and I was anxious that he may not settle well. Charlotte was extremely caring, thoughtful and professional. She was gentle with him and he made him feel at home, she texted me regularly to let me know how he settles and confirm his preferences and she also shared photos from his stay. When I picked him up he looked really happy, energetic and very well looked after. I am planning to rebook with Charlotte for a longer stay soon and I strongly recommend her!”
About: I am patient with dogs, but I will stop them from doing the wrong thing in time. I will use food to train dogs, such as sitting, shaking hands, lying down, etc. I am currently studying, and usually I have a lot of free time on Saturdays and Sundays, but I also have different periods of free time on Mondays and Fridays. My home is a two-room apartment, which is very large. And the apartment I live in is a pet-friendly apartment. Many residents here have their own pets. I believe your pet will have a good time in my home.
About: I have had the pleasure of working with a variety of dogs and cats over the last few years! I have a border collie, so I’m very much used to looking after energetic dogs who need a lot of stimulation. Additionally, I have 3 Bengal cats who are very demanding! I absolutely love to look after animals and provide them with their usual routines and spend time with them! Rest assured, you will always receive lots of videos and photos whilst I do drop in visits, walking or pet sitting to keep your mind at ease. I always like to do a couple of meet and greets, so you can get to know me and your pets can get to know me too! I approach it very much like how I would want it. I will always be able to tell you if I’m happy on the first meet and greet! If your pets have any dietary requirements or needing medication. I am happy to do this because I have experience in doing so. Furthermore, I have looked after so many puppy’s and I have trained them all of there commands. My main aim is to make sure your pet is happy but you also too! 😁 I work from home, so I am able to provide pet care at anytime of the day or night. Short notice is also fine for me! I would follow all of your usual routines to keep your pets happy. I would provide regular updates to keep you reassured. Any requests, would never be too much!
About: With every dog I care for, I genuinely try to spend a lot of time with it whether it be playing or sitting and relaxing, rather than just letting it roam around by itself. I am an extremely active person as I was a 4 year athlete at the University of Virginia in the States but do also love my relaxation to chill and get comfortable when needed, meaning I am very capable of matching the highs and lows of the dogs energy. When in high school I cared for our neighbors’ dog very frequently for a couple years and cared for other dogs for different families here and there. I have received nothing but positive feedback and tried to continue my efforts in college but time management with school and a sport was very difficult. I know how important a pet can be to someone as I had lost my puppy in 2014 in a bad accident, so I try my best to treat every dog as if it was my own. I hope I get the chance to care for your dog! Have a nice day! I am currently working part time so I sill have plenty of time to meet the needs of the pup and also work around a good schedule for yourself I can easily crate your dog if needed and will always be nearby it so they don’t do anything or go anywhere that they are not supposed to. I will heavily monitor them
“Mani is a magic man! My Greay Dane is incredibly sensitive (and large!). He is so wonderful with her, incredibly understanding and kind. I was so worried leaving her to go on holiday and Mani made me feel very comfortable. Send multiple videos, photos and updates every day. I think he is now Taylor's new best friend! 💛”
