Hi and welcome to Louise’s Pet Care.
Caring for your pets with compassion.
I’m Louise, a Registered Veterinary Nurse from the Midlands. I have worked within the Veterinary profession for 20 years.&nbsp;
In 2015 I gained my Level 3 Diploma in Veterinary Nursing
In 2019 I gained my Post Graduate Certificate in Anaesthesia (NCertAnaesth)
I love all aspects of nursing but my favourite areas of interest are Anaesthesia and nursing senior patients.&nbsp;
After 20 years in the Veterinary industry I decided I wanted to focus on providing individual pet care for owners when they need it. Combining my skills as a Veterinary Nurse and genuine compassion for animals. In January of this year I started to offer Pet care services and have been pet sitting, dog walking and providing drop in visits to pets regularly. So far this year I have done Pet Sitting for 32 dogs and cats in different areas of the Midlands. I enjoy this part of the my work as I like to explore new places, meet new people and spend time looking after different breeds and different animals.
***I can provide care for Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs and small furries only***Please remember additional costs will incur if you have multiple pets in the household.&nbsp;My base line fees are as follows:Pet Sitting for dogs:£45/day for one dog£50/day for two dogs&nbsp;£60/day for 3 dogs£70+/day for 4 or more dogsIf you have additonal pets (cats and small mammals, a fee will be added for their additional care)For Cat sitting/Small mammal sitting please contact me to discuss your requirements.
During my 20 years within the Veterinary industry I have worked within many Veterinary settings including:
Emergency&nbsp;
Referral
Night shifts
General practice
Charity practices&nbsp;
I have worked at a busy emergency hospital in Brisbane, Australia. This was amazing to nurse cases that we don't see in the UK. I learned so much and absolutely loved the opportunity to live and work in Brisbane.

I pride myself on taking care of animals to my very best standard, and that is to each and every animal every time
How do my services work? During initial contact, I will send you some introductory information about myself and the services I provide. This information includes a Pet and Owner questionnaire which I ask is filled out as best as you can with as much detail as possible. This includes information about you, your pet's routine, and your pet's needs. It gives me all the information I need to provide the best standard of care.
I will then arrange a one-hour Meet and Greet with you, where I will meet you and your pets and discuss all details of the pet service you require. This gives you a chance to ask any questions and discuss anything you need with me. And gives me a chance to build an initial bond with your pet.
Once this has been complete I will finalise the booking. During this time I am more than happy for you to contact me should you need anymore information or a chat about your pet, please let me know if anything changes with regards to your animals health or your home/routine before I provide care. You can contact me by message or call.&nbsp;
During the duration I am providing care to your pet I will provide regular updates and I enjoy sending pictures of your pet and what they are up to, if you do not wish for regular updates, please let me know 


What makes me a responsible Pet carer?
 I am on the RCVS Veterinary Nursing Register
I pay yearly to keep my Veterinary Nursing registration and have to complete 15 hours of CPD each year in order to retain my registration
I am fully insured
I always ask that owners fill out a Pet and Owner questionnaire&nbsp;
I always offer a Meet and Greet prior to finalisation of booking
I have my own transport
I am able to medicate pets
I can provide references
I can show verification of my Veterinary Nursing qualifications and registration
I fill out a Pet monitor form each day to make sure each pet is eating, drinking, toileting and showing normal demeanour and behaviour. This helps monitor for any changes.

Do you have a holiday booked and need pet care whilst you’re away? Look no further.&nbsp;
I am able to provide care for your pets during weekdays, bank holidays, evenings, nights, and can provide last-minute care if you need it.
Do you work full-time or long hours? I can help care for your pets when you aren’t there.
One-off visits or regular care needed? I can also medicate pets and have an individual pet health care sheet I fill out each day/visit.

Who am I away from work? I love to travel. I have been fortunate to backpack around the world, both solo and with friends. One of my biggest travel highlights was backpacking across Japan for two months, it is an absolutely beautiful place.&nbsp;
I also enjoy going to antique and vintage fairs, finding new places for coffee and cake and reading. I love going to charity shops and being outside.&nbsp;
I currently don't have any of my own pets as I am still heartbroken over losing my cat and therefore it isn't the right time for me and my family. Over the years I have owner two lovely terriers, one border terrier and one parson Russell, two cats, two rabbits, three guinea pigs, three hamsters, three rats and plenty of fish.&nbsp;
Should you require information anymore, please contact me directly through here&nbsp;
I look forward to hearing from you 



With years of hands-on pet care experience, I offer more than just sitting—I'm dedicated to ensuring every pet feels loved and comfortable while you're away. What sets me apart is my expertise in training puppies, ensuring they develop good habits from the start, as well as my gentle approach to senior pet care, providing the extra attention and patience they need. Whether it's administering medication, handling special dietary needs, or offering plenty of playtime, I tailor my services to meet the unique needs of each furry friend. Your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priority.As a devoted cat parent myself, I understand the special care and attention our feline friends deserve. With years of experience, I'm skilled in administering medications, keeping litter trays spotless, and providing personalized playtime that caters to your cat's unique personality. My deep love for cats drives me to ensure that your kitty feels safe, happy, and well-cared for in your absence. When you choose me, you're choosing someone who treats every cat as if they were my own.

My name is Ioanna (Joanna ), I'm originally from Greece and I have two dogs back home, Snoopy, who is a 10-year-old Maltese and Crepa (from the French dessert crepe), who just turned 1, which I miss a lot!&nbsp;
I can offer long (or short) walks, check in on them once or twice a day to feed and play with them, and dog-sit at the owner's house for 3-4 days, preferably on weekends.&nbsp;
If your dog loves to go for runs, I am also a runner, so that is another option. I wanna be a dog sitter not only for my love for dogs but because I have great knowledge on how to take care of them and am willing to provide for our little paw-friends whatever they need!&nbsp;
My only weakness is that if they behave, I have to give them treats! I have had lots of experience dog sitting, not only through my own dogs but through my friends' and neighbours' dogs whenever they needed an assist during holidays or last-minute work trips.&nbsp;
I am mostly acquainted with small dogs; however, I grew up with my best friend's four big Labradoodles, so I know I can manage any type of dog!&nbsp;


Hi! I’m Celta, a dedicated and trustworthy dog sitter who truly loves spending time with dogs. Caring for animals has always been my passion, I love dogs so much! I have a frenchie back in Indonesia, but I couldn't bring him as I'm studying here as a master student. I now really want to have a dog, I love interacting with dogs, they're very very cute and genuine!
I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From daily walks and feeding routines to playtime and cuddles, I make sure every dog receives personal attention and quality care. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on your pet’s well-being.
For health and safety reasons, I only accept fully vaccinated dogs. This helps ensure a safe, clean, secure, and stress-free space for everyone.
I also provide regular photo updates, flexible scheduling, clear communication, and personalized routines to match your dog’s needs, habits, and preferences. 
Your dog will be treated like a family in my care. See you! ️

I grew up around pets and quickly learned that good care is not just about feeding and walking, but about patience, attention, and creating a calm, safe environment where they feel secure. Becoming a pet sitter feels like a natural extension of that mindset. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and find it rewarding to help them feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away.
My motivation comes from understanding how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else. I want owners to feel confident that their pets are treated with the same care and respect I would give my own. I am reliable, organised, and attentive to routines. In a typical day, I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Mornings might start with a walk, fresh water, breakfast, and some playtime to burn energy. During the day, I build in enrichment like short training games, gentle brushing, or puzzle toys. Evenings are usually calmer with another walk, dinner, and quiet companionship so they can settle comfortably. I keep spaces clean and stick to feeding and medication schedules carefully.
I have previous experience caring for dogs and cats for friends, neighbours, and family, including daily walks and feeding. I am comfortable with different temperaments and energy levels, from playful puppies to calmer pets who need a gentler pace. Energetic dogs get longer walks and active play, while shy or anxious pets get patience and a slower approach so they can warm up at their own pace.
What I bring that is unique is consistency and attentiveness. I am organised, calm, and observant, so I quickly notice changes in behaviour or appetite. I also genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, not just “checking in” on them.
For everyone’s safety and wellbeing, I only work with vaccinated pets. Cleanliness, safety, and comfort are always priorities. Above all, I aim to provide consistent, loving care so your pet feels happy, relaxed, and at home even when you are away.


Hi ! I'm a 22 year student and I offer home visits for your dogs for when you're not available for them. I'm happy to visit your dogs for a short while to feed, play and let them out to do their business. I like to keep in communication with owners if there are any issues to ensure comfort for all parties. I will also ensure I learn all dog feeding routines to keep your pups happy.&nbsp;
I’ve got experience caring for dogs through dog sitting for friends and family, which has helped me understand how important it is to keep pets safe and well looked after. I also have a dog of my own, a black Labrador called Flo, so I’m very used to different personalities, routines, and energy levels.
I’m a student with a flexible schedule, which means I can usually fit around times that work best for you. Whether you need regular check ins or occasional help, I’m happy to lend a hand !!

Hi, I’m Asam, a calm and reliable pet sitter based in Birmingham.

I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their own home. My approach is patient, attentive, and consistent, which helps both energetic and more anxious pets settle quickly.

I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including larger breeds, senior pets, and more active dogs. I’m confident handling different temperaments and always adapt to each pet’s needs, whether that’s structured walks, playtime, or simply providing calm companionship.

During house sitting or drop-in visits, I follow each owner’s routine closely — including feeding, walking, cleaning, and any specific instructions. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you always have peace of mind while you’re away.

I stay calm and focused in all situations and can handle unexpected issues responsibly, ensuring your pet is safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.

My goal is simple: to give your pet the same level of care and attention you would yourself.

Hello! My name is Komal.&nbsp;
I absolutely adore animals!
Along with my own pets, I have cared for many others over the years including cats, small and large dogs, and I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality.
I grew up with pets and now have my own much loved cats at home, and dog at my mom’s, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. My experience includes feeding routines, playtime, grooming basics, litter/cleaning care, and giving oral medication when needed. I’m very patient, gentle, and confident with shy or nervous pets as well as energetic, playful ones.
I tailor my care to each pet. Whether your pet loves cuddles, long walks, quiet company, or active play, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. I’m familiar with different behaviour types confident, anxious, excitable, or timid and I always take the time to let pets approach me at their own pace.
For safety, I follow clear routines:
• I double check doors, gates, and windows before and after each visit.
• I maintain your pet’s regular feeding schedule to avoid stress.
• I keep a close eye on behaviour signs such as overstimulation, stress, or discomfort.
• For dogs, I only use secure leads and harnesses provided by the owner.
• For cats, I ensure litter areas stay clean and hygienic.
If I’m caring for more than one pet, I supervise all interactions closely and make introductions slowly and calmly to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I never leave pets unattended in situations where they could be at risk.
In case of an emergency, I act quickly and appropriately contacting you immediately, following your instructions, and if needed, getting your pet to the nearest vet. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing always come first.
I love sending daily updates, photos, and videos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I want you to feel the same reassurance I value when my own pet is being looked after.
Thank you so much for reading my profile. I’d be delighted to care for your furry family member and I look forward to hearing from you soon!


I've been around dogs since I was a baby. As a child, I dreamt of becoming a vet, but it wasn't to be! Nevertheless, my passions for dogs remains to this day and I currently own a male Japanese Akita and a female Labrador. Over the years, I've had a Collie, a German Shepherd, and several Labradors.&nbsp;
It's not just medium and large dogs who I have experience with, though. My grandmother had a lovely poodle and a charismatic chihuahua. My girlfriend also has a fiesty and playful chihuahua, so I'm particular familiar with that small breed.
I'm trying to build up my fitness, so can match the exercise of the dog. Whether it's a super energetic one that likes to go on long walks or an older or smaller one that prefers slower, short walks, I can adapt.

So, if your dog is friendly and vaccine, don't hesitate to book me for a job!
