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.

About: I'm a kind and patient individual with life long experience of pet ownership (currently have a cocker spaniel and two Somali cats). With a level 3 qualification in animal management, my animal care experience also shows with previous employment within a safari park and boarding cattery/kennels. Hobbies and interests also include pedigree cat showing, insect rearing and wildlife/bird watching. I currently work part time, so have plenty of day time availablity to pet sit and dog walk. My weekday availability is during 9am-2pm, and I can commit to anytime on Saturdays. For dog walking, leads will always be used on roads and I will go by your own personal recommendations on whether to use them at any other time. This will also include any preferences that you know your dog has themselves. For pet sitting, I am only able to work with your home setting, so will go through your personal safety preferences upon meeting you.

About: I’ve always had a big love for animals! I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, birds and rabbits, so being around pets feels like home to me. I’ve taken care of friends’ and family’s pets over the years, and they’ve always trusted me to give their furry friends lots of love and attention. I’ll care for your pets like they’re part of my own family. Your pets will always be a priority for me. I’ll plan my day around their needs to make sure they’re happy, comfortable and cared for like my own. I treat every pet with love and care, keeping their routine the same and giving them lots of attention. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well looked after

About: I have always been a dog lover. Had my own labrador, Evie, who sadly passed away a few years ago. Recently plucked up the courage to have a new dog, Lady, who is a 16 month cockapoo and it has made me realise how much I had missed having dogs in my life! I enjoy every single moment with her on my days off from being a pediatric nurse. We enjoy long walks in the rural countryside and woodland areas every day together and also enjoy obedience training too. I work 30 hours per week, a mixture of 3 days/ nights per week and these days vary on a week to week basis. I receive my shift pattern a couple of months in advance. Pet are cared for by myself with the same love and attention I provide to the other members of my family. Lots of love, exercise and cuddles 😊

About: We’ve been taken care of peoples pets for 5 years now. We have experience with young dogs, old dogs, big dogs and small pets including cats. Some of these pets have required medication which we have been trusted with, special diets and some have been new puppies who require extra attention. Whatever you require we can help with! Me and my partner both work hybrid jobs with different office days so there will always be someone who will be looking after your pet, we are very active people who love walking! I will follow all of your care instructions to keep your pets as safe as possible, they will be given all the love in the world

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 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: I am currently studying Bio-Veterinary Science and have spent the past three years working alongside veterinarians as a helper as part of my course, gaining valuable hands-on experience in animal care. I have also worked at a dog kennel since the age of 15, giving me over five years of practical experience with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. On top of this, I have always had a pet dog of my own, so caring for animals comes naturally to me I truly understand the love, attention, and patience they deserve. I would give them love and attention whilst your out and walk, feed and look after your loving animals ! Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine as I only attend university three days a week, and each of those days I’m only in for about an hour. This means I have plenty of free time and flexibility to dedicate to walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they need throughout the day. In my home, pets will have access to a safe and secure garden ( fenced ) where they can play and enjoy fresh air. I make sure they get regular walks, tailored to their energy levels and needs, along with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention. In a pet owner’s home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible whether that’s feeding times, walks, or any special instructions—so pets feel comfortable and cared for in their own space.

“Katherine is lovely young lady who very much appreciates our difficult situation and treats milo with the upmost care and understanding for his elderly needs milo has a new best friend in Katherine would definitely recommend her”

About: I currently work at a vet practice - I love cuddling pets everyday! I unfortunately lost my dog at the start of the year so I am looking to fill the hole with cuddles and pet sits! I’m currently working around 32 hours a week, so I can be available for morning and evening drop ins. I don’t work the weekends so I can be available full time then. I feel pets are better in their own environment so I prefer coming to their homes to sit! I can crate difficult dogs if needed :)

About: I’m retired, my partner is a WFM, Ellie is our own little deaf dog, Percy and Pip (our cats) live here, mostly out of sight. We are pet lovers! I am 100% flexible to suit the dog owner. Car owner, dog cage in the back if needed. Two parks close by. 1h, 4h, 8h, whatever you need, 24h, we can accommodate. Our outdoor area is 100% walled. We walk our own dog twice a day, we can give your pet all the time it needs. Our pets roam the house and garden.

About: I am an self-employed pet sitter with track record of successful house sitting and dog walking engagements. My experience extends to diverse canine companions, including large breeds such as the American Akita, as well as dogs necessitating specialized attention (like separation anxiety or dogs reluctance to interact with unfamiliar individuals). With a proven record of delivering reliable care and unwavering commitment to the well-being of every canine entrusted to my care, I consistently strive to exceed expectations and maintain an atmosphere of trust and comfort for both pets and their owners. I am working as a manager for over 4 years, that makes me behave professionally, with good manners and always reliable. I am doing night shifts 4 times a week with 3 days off. I uphold the belief that every dog merits a bespoke and attentive care regimen aligned with their distinct requirements and personality traits. As such, I devote considerable time to familiarizing myself with each dog's unique temperament, energy levels, and preferences, thus ensuring their experience is flawlessly tailored to meet their specific needs.

About: I am a second year student Veterinary Nurse and have worked as a Veterinary Nurse Assistant. Caring for all animals is my passion, loving them and all of their needs. I adjust around the pets normal routine. I have lived with animals my whole life ranging from, dogs and cats to chickens, ducks and guinea pigs and everyday is never the same. I love to care for animals playing, feeding and especially cuddling! I tend to care for pets more often in their own homes as they are always happier and more relaxed. When I care for pets in my home, I stick to the owner’s preference, if they are crate trained, I keep them crate trained in my home. If they are used to sleeping on their owners beds, they sleep on the bed. I live in a quiet village away from busy roads and have a fenced in garden.

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: Having been surrounded by pets my entire life, I've developed a deep love and understanding for all animals. My experience ranges from my home pets , family pets , friends pets and in the last 2 years local pets. This lifelong passion and hands-on experience set me apart, ensuring your pet receives the utmost care and affection. I’m currently on summer holidays i go to college and am returning in september but as it’s my 3rd year i don’t have to be in as much so still have flexible hours when i’m back at college. I work Friday and Saturday at a cafe in Cleeve called Bar no9 8-4pm so those are my only difficult days as are unable to do the day time. Any other day is perfectly fine! Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. I ensure a secure environment by maintaining constant supervision, using reliable leashes and harnesses ( that you provide) , and being attentive to each pet's specific needs. I am about to do a pets first aid course and i stay vigilant during walks and sitting sessions to prevent any potential hazards. You can trust that your beloved pet will be in caring and capable hands.

About: I have taken care of many breeds since a young age and have been a volunteer for Guide Dogs for the Blind for 15 years. I currently work a flexible part time job and can fit in around your pets schedule. I am available all week and weekends with given notice I have a small fenced outdoor space for toileting, I also live next door to two parks and the Edgbaston reservoir. I can crate your pet if needed and provided
