Cat Sitting Wychavon

About: Hi, I’m Grace! I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I love spending time outside in nature, whether that’s going on long, energetic dog walks or just sitting in the garden playing with a pup. I treat every animal with the same love, respect, and high standard of care that I give to my own family pets. Outside of pet sitting, I hold a university degree in Marine Biology and am a qualified scuba diving instructor. Both have given me a deep respect for nature, professional first-aid awareness, and a proven track record of managing safety and responsibility under pressure. Experienced with All Breeds & Personalities Having grown up with my own dogs, I am entirely comfortable around any breed. I know firsthand that every single dog has their own unique quirks, routines, and personalities, and I pride myself on adapting to what makes your pet feel safest and happiest. I have experience looking after a variety of dogs and cats, particularly caring for them in the comfort of their own homes to keep their stress levels low while you are away. Handling Multiple Pets & High Responsibility I am incredibly comfortable looking after multiple dogs at the same time, ensuring group walks stay safe, controlled, and fun for every pup involved. My background with animals goes back a long way—I owned and cared for horses from the age of 12 to 18, and have ridden most of my life. That level of daily commitment taught me immense responsibility and gave me a deep, intuitive understanding of animal behaviour. Senior & Medical Care If your pet requires a little extra attention, they are in safe hands. I have recent experience caring for an elderly dog with specific medical needs, including administering hard pills and medication via syringes. I am highly attentive to strict schedules and health routines. I have full, open availability until July 20th. After this date, I work a flexible part-time schedule of just four days a week, with very short shifts (either midday or evenings). This leaves me with plenty of open time during the week and occasional weekends to provide dedicated, reliable care tailored to your pet's schedule. In the Owner's Home Safety & Routine: My priority is maintaining your pet’s normal routine to keep their stress levels low while you are away. I strictly follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medication, and house rules. Trust & Home Respect: I treat an owner's home with the utmost respect. I ensure all doors and gates are securely locked when entering or leaving, keep spaces clean, and never invite guests over. Constant Communication: I provide peace of mind by sending regular photo and video updates, letting owners know exactly how their pet is doing. Medical & Emergency Preparedness: With recent experience caring for elderly dogs requiring precise pill and syringe medication, I am highly attentive to health needs. If an emergency ever arises, my background as a scuba diving instructor means I am first-aid trained, calm under pressure, and ready to act responsibly by contacting the vet and the owner immediately. Out on Walks Environment & Focus: When walking dogs, my attention is entirely on them—no distractions or looking at my phone. I stay highly aware of our surroundings, keeping an eye out for other dogs, traffic, or hazards on the path. Leash Safety: Pets stay securely on their leashes at all times unless explicitly instructed otherwise by the owner in a fully secure, enclosed area.

“Kate dropped in on Rudy, fed him and spent time playing with him. She sent photos and let me know when she arrived and was leaving. Peace of mind for me and a happy Rudy 😊”

“Thanks for being so reliable and conscientious and for getting on so well with Edie!! This is the third time we’ve asked Annie and Benjamin to look after Edie and hopefully there will be more occasions they can help. Thanks”

About: I'm a genuine animal lover who works from home, so your pet will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. I share my home with my friendly 18month old spade female Cockalier and my laid back 5 year-old male cat, both of whom are used to being around other animals. We have a 2 bedroom house in the countryside an has a large, secure garden for playtime and exploring, and I guarantee at least two walks every day, tailored to your dog's energy levels and routine. I aim to provide a relaxed, home-from-home environment where pets feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether your dog enjoys playing, snoozing on the sofa, or receiving lots of fuss and cuddles, they'll be treated like part of the family. Of course, there will also be plenty of treats (with your permission!) and regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. We take out spaniel out for a long field based walk every morning and then start work for 9am in my office. I take regular breaks to play in the garden or cuddle on the sofa. We usually have an afternoon walk around the neighborhood before finishing work at around 5pm and the evening is available for all pets and guests. Offering pet sitting services in a client's home would not be a problem if I can work intermittently on my laptop throughout the day. We have no regular commitments at the weekend so often find new dog friendly cafes, walks and places to visit. Our dog is secured in her crate at night in my office, and our cat has the use of the kitchen and utility and will be outside most of the day. We have a high fenced garden, with a large patio area and large grass area. A large open plan kitchen/living room, utility and office. And 2 bedrooms upstairs. Pets are welcome to the whole house including beds and furniture. Feeding, walks and nighttime routine can all be customised and followed by owners preferences.

“Our rescue dog was well looked after by Marina. Great communication, and kept us informed of how our dog was during her care, great for our peace of mind. Very happy to recommend 🐾”

About: New to the game of pet sitting because of a terrible experience with a cattery, want animals to feel safe and not stressed. What else can I say? I am currently working full time but doing 12 hour shifts so regularly only work 3 days a week but am looking to drop down hours to fulfil this even more. I am not offering any over night stay in my own home as there's no space or garden. I do have my own furbaby who stays indoors but has the run of the house at any given time.

About: I have had cockapoos for 10 years and look after my families cockapoo. My friend has a Labrador that i take care off over a week at a time when needed. I have neighbours who have dogs and cats who i connect with on a daily basis. I am patient and care a lot about the welfare of all furry animals. I am working full time. Every other weekend and I work 6 days one week and 4 days the next. I am a customer service manager from 08:30-5pm. All evenings and early mornings free. Plus 1 hour lunch period in the day. In a pets owners home I would treat it as if it was my own and make sure everything is in order before leaving, just like I do with my cockapoo at my house. All instructions will be followed accurately for a safe and happy home for the pet and the owner.

About: I’m a qualified veterinary nurse who wants to ensure your fur babies are comfortable, fed and loved and cuddled whilst their parents are away! As a full-time veterinary nurse, I work Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 8am–7pm, with one in seven weekends. This means I’m available for evening visits on weekdays, and I have regular availability for weekends, Tuesdays and most weekends for longer stays. I’ll always keep my calendar up to date so you know exactly when I’m available. Your pet’s safety, happiness and wellbeing will always come first. As a qualified veterinary nurse, I’m experienced in recognising signs that a pet may be unwell and I’m confident caring for pets with different personalities, ages and medical needs. I always respect each pet’s boundaries, never force interaction, and take time to build their trust. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel relaxed, secure and loved while you’re away.

“We have used Leanna twice now and she is fab! I highly recommend her! We have a very energetic young springer spaniel who is nervous and anxious so we needed someone who was professional and willing to take time to gain his his trust. Leanna listened to everything we requested and all our dogs needs very carefully. Thank you! 😀”

About: I grew up with dogs in the home, even spent a few years on farmland, so I have experience with dogs ranging from a chihuahua or jack russell all the way up to big huskies and labradours. Having grown up with them I'd like to say my intuition is good when it comes to dogs, In particular I'm good at correcting little things like pulling too hard on a walk, or being too boisterous when playing. But my main concern is actually just to make sure the dogs have a good time, my view of it is I'll correct them if they do something wrong but ultimately I'm not here to be a dictator to them either. I'm also quite calm and patient, so if there is a dog who has troubling behaviour at times, I'm happy to work with that. Not currently working, my dream job is actually to be a teacher, I have 4 going on 5 years experience working with kids, but obviously its not always easy to get a non temporary job in that industry at my age. I'm relatively free, but I like to have a good idea of when I'm doing X thing. I'm happy to work around your own schedule if anything changes, within reason. If something important comes up, no worries, or if you give me an hour or twos notice, thats also fine. I do travel on a bike though, and when discussing availability I will have to factor that in. Unfortunately I live in a flat so I wont be doing any pet care in my home. I have done pet care at the owners home before, so i have experience. I'm happy to take on board anything the owner wants of me while I'm in their home, and I always do what I can to leave the house/garden the way I found it

About: I have had dogs most of my life, We had a jack russell called Alfie for 16 years old. We sadly had to having him put to sleep in September. He was deaf and has arthritis in his spine. So I am used to senior care with dogs. We have recently got a new puppy called Nellie a miniature dachshund, it is so nice to hear a dog in our home again. I currently work two nights a week, but happy to move my shifts around to help out looking after your pet. I do have a child at first school so will have to do pick up and drop off. When I meet you, I would ask you a few questions about your pet so I can do exactly what you do with them. Like what walks they enjoy and what time they have their food and if they’re happy with cuddles or just like their own space.

About: Growing up with cats, kittens, fish, and sea monkies, as well as looking after stray cats often, I was often trusted by my family to care and feed for our pets growing up. I now have 2 beautiful, very well trained and well behaved 4 month old kittens who have recently been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and treated for fleas and worms. I am very patient with any animal, ensuring they are gently introduced to new people/toys/environments at a pace that suits them. I always care to give pets the mental and physical stimulation they need, and all the cuddles and affection they deserve. I have more experience with cats than dogs, but don't let this put you off as I absolutely adore dogs, and have gone on many walks with friend's dogs! I currently work 4 days a week from Tuesday-Friday. I work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays typically and more than happy to pet-sit while working from home. I am available to pet-sit on Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. I am available for boarding from Friday evenings to Tuesday evenings. I have two friendly, indoor kittens who are very loving and affectionate, which in turn has made me a very caring and affectionate pet sitter! My flat is on the first floor and windows are all protected/cat-proofed. All wires are either secured down or tucked away, and any hazards are out of reach. I allow pets on my furniture, but I tend to use a water spray if I need them to stay away from anything, e.g. the stove or dining table. I also ensure they are fed before I am to reduce the chances of them stealing any human food. I live right on the Malvern Hills and surrounded by beautiful walking paths for your pets. It is a lovely, quiet area, perfect if your pet becomes distressed by other pets/humans.

About: With over a decade of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I have developed a deep understanding of their needs and personalities. Neighbors, friends, and family have consistently trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and nurture their pets with love and dedication. My experience even includes assisting with the delivery of a litter of puppies, which further strengthened my commitment to providing exceptional care. I take pride in creating a safe, engaging, and loving environment for every pet I look after, ensuring they feel at home and cared for in my presence. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m here to make sure your furry family members are happy, healthy, and well-loved.

About: Hi, I’m Naomi, I’m 37yo, taking a career break from the police and love animals. I’ve been fortunate to have been involved with horses for nearly 20years, used to have cats, have looked after several of my friend’s dogs and cats and would love to spend more time with our furry friends, and some of the not so furry! Have looked after horses, dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, goats, sheep… Happy to help with exercise, medication factors, special requirements, picking up 💩 and of course lots of love and attention; if they want it! Making sure your animal knows it’s cared for and gets the odd treat 😀 I have my own transport and am willing to travel, just let me know. Have a couple of upcoming sits for August but just enquire :-) let me know what your animal needs and I’ll be there for them Happy to host, but I do have a 1 bed flat. I don’t have a garden but there is outdoor space and I can easily access plenty of outdoor green space

About: I have owned and cared for dogs for over 10 years. I have walked dogs, bathed them, administered medication and played with them. I have patience for all personalities and types of dog and each one is very special. I’m enthusiastic and happy to help. I am currently taking a sabbatical from work and this means I am currently very flexible. When work resumes I will be available for weekends, home stays in my area and drop in services where needed. I am flexible and happy to cater to your needs. I live in a semi detached home with no back gate and fully fenced. I currently own two cats but they have their own space, I am happy to house a crate and will allow animals on the furniture. I am also able to refrigerate any specialised foods or medication if required. When visiting I am happy to follow any specifics you require and will always treat your pet as if it’s my own.

About: I absolutely adore animals, and my gentle giant Loki and I love welcoming extra furry (and feathered!) friends into our world. Whether it's a quick pop-in to check on your pet, a refreshing walk, or staying over to keep them comfortable in their own home, I treat every animal with the same care and patience I give my own. At home, I share my life with Loki (a giant breed dog), 2 cats, 2 chickens, and 3 quail, so I'm genuinely comfortable with all kinds of animals and their quirks, big, small, feathered, or four-legged. As a giant breed owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to hand over care of a large or strong dog, and I bring that same calm, confident energy to pets of every size. I live in the countryside and spend much of my own time outdoors, so walks are never rushed. I know beautiful routes right from the front door, plus a short drive to woodlands, parks, and National Trust grounds 🌳. For house sitting and pop-ins, I focus on keeping your pet's routine consistent and stress-free, so they feel safe and loved while you're away. Your pet isn't just "looked after" with me. They're cared for the way I'd want mine cared for. I work from home so your pet will always have some company. I can accommodate your special pet care needs and happy to provide whatever you need! I have a gated courtyard and a large grassy garden for your pets to enjoy! Your pet will be welcomed into our loving, caring and secure family cottage.

About: I have 6 years previous experience as an animal welfare assistant, Where there have been a variety of rescue dogs with all different needs some for example have been blind, puppies and very old dogs along with there individual quirks. Also there was a range of cats from completely feral farm cats to kittens and even rescued house cats who loved a lot of fuss and treats. I also have two dogs of my own an 11 year old springer spaniel who is a rescue and my 1 year old cocker spaniel who I have had from 9 weeks old. Since growing up in a village I have walked neighbours dogs and parents friends dogs since the age of 14.

I live 2 minutes walk from a local park and work from home so your dog will always have a company and a constant access to a big fenced garden. I have a big fenced garden and a ten year old chocolate Labrador to keep your dog or a cat a company . I will be happy to to have your pet in my loving family home

About: I've grown up around dogs and am passionate about giving them the care and love they deserve. I've always been an animal person having cats, hamsters, horses, guinea pigs and rabbits! My family have had pet staffys for many years, but all my friends have different breeds. Unfortunately our staffy, Martha, passed away at the age of 16 in September so we no longer have our own dog. I am a long-distance runner so if your dog requires plenty of exercise I'll happily take them out for hours running across the hills, or if you have an elderly pup we can go for a short stroll for them to enjoy the familiar smells locally instead. The weather won't ever stop me from getting outside and enjoying some exercise with a friendly companion. My years of experience come from having my own dog. I'm currently taking a career break, having worked in mental health forensic services for the last 9 years. My jobs have been emotionally demanding so I'm looking forward to taking a break and hopefully having a career change to work with animals more as that is where my passion lies. I have a large fenced garden and plenty of space inside for your dog to get comfortable. I have 2 furry cat friends who are used to dogs being around, as long as your dog is okay with them too. We are all friends here :)
