Welcome to Fuller Cat Care
Hello, I’m Amelia, the owner of Fuller Cat Care – a professional, fully insured cat sitting service dedicated exclusively to cats.
I founded Fuller Cat Care with one simple goal: to provide exceptional, personalised care that allows cats to remain happy, relaxed and comfortable in the place they know best – their own home. Rather than offering general pet sitting, I specialise solely in feline care, allowing me to tailor every visit to your cat’s unique personality, routine and individual needs.
I understand that every cat is different. Some enjoy interactive play and affection, while others prefer quiet companionship and consistency. My approach is always led by your cat, ensuring they receive attentive, compassionate care that respects their boundaries and helps them feel safe while you’re away.
As a professional cat sitter, I am committed to maintaining the highest standards of care. I am fully insured, trained in Pet First Aid and CPR, and continually invest in feline care education to keep my knowledge and skills up to date. My priority is not only your cat’s happiness and wellbeing, but also giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away.
Every visit is personalised and may include:
• Feeding and fresh water• Litter tray cleaning and hygiene• Playtime and enrichment• Grooming (where welcomed by your cat)• Medication administration where appropriate• Welfare checks and monitoring• Home security checks• Bringing in post and watering indoor plants if requested• Detailed photo, video and written updates after every visit
Why choose Fuller Cat Care?
 Cat-exclusive service – My focus is entirely on cats, allowing me to understand their behaviour, routines and individual needs.
 Professional and fully insured – Providing reliable, trustworthy care with complete peace of mind.
 Pet First Aid &amp; CPR trained – Giving you added reassurance should an emergency ever arise.
 Personalised, unrushed visits – Standard visits are up to one hour, giving your cat plenty of time for companionship, enrichment and attentive care.
 Regular updates – You’ll receive detailed messages along with photographs and videos after each visit, so you always know how your cat is doing.
 Complimentary meet &amp; greet – Before your first booking, we’ll meet to discuss your cat’s routine, preferences and any medical or behavioural requirements.
 Respect for your home – Alongside caring for your cat, I’m happy to bring in post, water indoor plants, adjust blinds or lighting, and carry out basic home security checks while you’re away.
For me, cat sitting is about far more than feeding and cleaning a litter tray. It’s about building trust, maintaining routines and providing genuine one-to-one care so your cat feels secure and content while you’re away.
Whether you’re heading off on holiday, travelling for work or simply need someone dependable to care for your cat, you can be confident they’ll receive the same level of kindness, patience and attention that I would want for my own.
I look forward to meeting you and your feline family.

I am currently a 2nd year university student and miss my 2 dogs at home very much, and so am looking to help around with your furry friends. I am well versed in looking after dogs, my parents having fostered 2 dogs before, and having grown up in a dog and cat family. My 2 dogs at home are both rescues and both only have 3 legs! So any and all dogs are welcome. 
If it's just a small walk you're looking for, or for me to look after them whilst you are out for the day, I am down for whatever. I am quite happy with doing my uni work at yours and looking after your dog, taking them out when needed. I think it will be nice to have some company whilst I do!! 
My experience with looking after animals is looking after my own dogs, of course. We've also taken in neighbours dogs to look after for a weekend or a night, and so I have a few previous experiences with dog sitting. My girl dog is getting older now and so when taking her on a walk, I have had to adapt to the lengths and terrain of our walks because her front leg can have a lot of strain, and so I will always ensure the best for your dog.

Hi, I'm Matt.I have two absolutely mad cocker spaniels and had another cocker spaniel previously, so I'm well used to dogs that need plenty of exercise.I also have fish and a gecko.Over the years we've had plenty of normal family pets, hamsters, guinea pigs and rabbits.I'm very reliable and trustworthy, I have many references available on request.Due to my previous employment I have an enhanced DBS certificate and am also high level security cleared.I'm able come into your home to feed your animals or let them out to go to the toilet.
I am now self employed, but having been employed full time for the past 25 years, I know how hard it can be to work and still manage to look after pets.
I was lucky enough to have for the majority of that time to work shift work and then when I worked a more normal job, my daughter was able to come home and let the dogs out.I like to meet you and your pet before I commit to anything so you and your pet are both happy.Any questions please feel free to ask.&nbsp;


Hi there! Latino america pet lover, from birds to doggies! I always thoguht of wildlife being better companions than people, reason why I love visiting places where can find different species. Yes, professional involved in environmental sciences, doggie proud dad, and had experience with birds sitting before. There is no more rewarding feeling than when you see your pet happy, smiling, and probably with their tongue out. Great feeling!
I love learning from different personalities in animals, the way that they behave and act; love learning from them and curious to see what would be their next step.&nbsp;
I have a 2yrs doggie, who is shy with other people until he gets to trust them, but really happy when playing with furries. He is curious too! Always lived with other animals before, back in my country.
Considering I live alone with my doggie, my flat has quite a space to look after other pets, and due to my flexible work environment I spend most of the time at home. The flat has a green area just behind the building, as well as near Strathclyde Country Park which will offer 6k of fun walk for pets. Every pet is different and I understand the feeling of leaving them behind when holidays or do not have enough time for them. So I like to keep owners updated with pics and vids of their dogs habing fun and any dietary requirements or maybe any special needs are quite open to follow.
Apart from doggies I have experience looking after cats too, my bestfriend has 4 so far. Also birds, had a budgie before, yes only one, and we became best friends over the time.

Hi there!I'm Sheona, New Forest born &amp; bred. I grew up surrounded by animals and studied a Zoology based degree at uni. I've been living &amp; working in Australia for the past 8 years, during which time I became an experienced pet &amp; home sitter for cats, dogs, hamsters, rabbits, birds etc! Having recently returned to the New Forest, I'd love to take care of your furry friends while you're away; servicing the New Forest &amp; surrounding areas. I'm available to book either as a regular drop-in service or as a one-off home visit for the period you're away, and I'm happy to bring in the mail, water the house plants and ensure the bins get brought in (all those extra little things you don't have time to worry about when going on holiday!!) Please reach out with potential dates or if you have any questions - I aim to respond within a few hours :)


Overview 
Hi everyone, my name is Anna, and together with my family, we are true dog lovers. Dogs have always brought so much joy, warmth, and happiness into our home, and that is why we decided to offer a home-based dog boarding service in a safe, loving, and family environment. When your dog stays with us, they will not just be “boarded”; they will be welcomed as part of our family. We understand how important it is to leave your dog with someone you can trust, so we do everything we can to make each dog feel safe, settled, loved, and comfortable from the moment they arrive. We offer a calm, caring, and supervised home environment where your dog’s normal routine will be followed as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, play, rest, cuddles, and any individual needs they may have. Every dog is different, so we take the time to get to know their personality, habits, likes, dislikes, and any worries they may have. Our aim is to give owners complete peace of mind, knowing their dog is being cared for by a responsible, trustworthy, and pet-loving family. We are happy to provide regular updates and photos during your dog’s stay, so you can relax knowing they are safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love and attention. With us, your dog will be cared for like one of our own.&nbsp;
Insurance 
I believe in doing things properly and responsibly. That is why I hold specialist pet insurance designed specifically for home dog boarding services and in line with local authority licensing expectations. This includes public liability cover of up to £10 million, offering protection in the unlikely event of injury or damage involving dogs in my care. My insurance also includes care, custody and control cover, which means dogs staying with me are protected in the unlikely event of illness, injury, or loss while under my supervision. I hope this gives owners extra reassurance that their dogwill be cared for in a safe, responsible, and well-prepared home environment.&nbsp;
Fully Licensed and Approved 
I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved dog with someone else, and I want every pet owner to feel confident and reassuredwhen choosing our family. That is why I am also fully licensed and have been formally approved by BCP Council to provide home dog boarding services.  Having a licence means that our home, care arrangements, safety measures, and the way we look after dogs have been checked to make sure they meet the required standards for home dog boarding. It gives owners extra peace of mind that their dog will be staying in a safe, suitable, and responsible home environment.  For us, being licensed is not just a requirement — it is part of doing things properly and showing pet owners that their dog’s welfare, comfort, and happiness will always come first.&nbsp;
Experience with Animals 
As a family, we have practical experience caring for animals, including our own pets, pets belonging to friends and family, and dogs who have stayed with us through home boarding. We have looked after dogs of different ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities, from young energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise, play, and stimulation, to older dogs who need a slower pace, gentle handling, comfort, and extra patience. We also have experience caring for dogs with health needs, mobility difficulties, separation anxiety, nervousness, and behavioural challenges. We understand that every dog is different, so we always take time to learn their routine, temperament, body language, and individual needs. Our experience includes high-energy breeds such as Dobermansand Pomskies, as well as smaller dogs with big personalities, including feisty Chihuahuas and playful Dachshunds. This experience has helped us become confident, patient, and attentive carers who understand the importance of routine, consistency, supervision, and responding to each animal as an individual.&nbsp;
Training 
To further enhance my knowledge and help maintain high standards of care in a pet-boarding environment, I have completed training in:&nbsp;&nbsp;

Pet Sitting&nbsp;
Canine Behaviour&nbsp;
Pet Grooming&nbsp;
Pet First Aid &amp; CPR&nbsp;
Understanding Canine Anxiety Diploma — in progress&nbsp;

I also have a professional background in care, which has helped me develop a range of transferable skills that support a safe, organised, responsible, and attentive approach to pet care.&nbsp;&nbsp;
My wider professional development has included training in areas such as:&nbsp;&nbsp;

Fire safety&nbsp;
Food safety and hygiene&nbsp;
Infection prevention and control&nbsp;
Health and safety&nbsp;

These areas of knowledge support my overall approach to maintaining a clean, safe, well-organised home environment.&nbsp;
Location 
We are ideally located next to Turbary Common, one of Bournemouth’s important nature reserves and the largest area of heathland in north Bournemouth. It offers a lovely natural setting with heathland, wooded areas, scrub, and peaceful walking routes, giving dogs plenty of interesting sights and smells to enjoy. Being so close to this beautiful green space means we can offer varied daily walks with opportunities for gentle exercise, sniffing, exploring, and mental stimulation. We are always mindful that Turbary Common is a protected nature reserve, so walks are planned responsibly and in line with local guidance, including lead requirements when needed.&nbsp;
Garden 
We also have a fully secured, spacious garden where dogs can enjoy safe outdoor time throughout the day. It is a lovely space for supervised play, stretching their legs, exploring, and of course doing plenty of important sniffing!&nbsp;
Equipment / Crate 
If your pet is crate-trained or enjoys having their own enclosed resting space, we can provide a suitable crate for small to medium-sized dogs, so there is no need to bring your own.  Crate size: 70 cm (H) × 80.5 cm (W) × 59 cm (D). In addition, for maximum safety and peace of mind, we usetwo secure safety gates positioned within the home. These are placed in doorways to help manage movement around the house and significantly reduce the risk of accidental escape. This allows us to maintain a controlled, safe environment while still giving your pet plenty of space to relax and move comfortably.&nbsp;
Children 
We have two considerate children aged 10 and 14. They are calm, respectful, and used to being around animals.  Your pet will receive plenty of positive attention; however, we fully understand that not all pets enjoy cuddles or constant interaction. If your pet prefers their own space, this will always be respected.&nbsp;
Smoke-Free Home 
Our home is completely smoke-free, providing a clean, fresh, and healthy environment.  Your pet will return home relaxed and comfortable — no lingering smells, just happy memories.&nbsp;
Rules and Routine 
We respect and follow your pet’s established routines and house rules.  Whether that means no furniture access or full “four-legged royalty” privileges, we will stick to what works best for your pet. From structured days to relaxed evenings with gentle company— and the occasional Netflix cuddle — we will ensure your pet’s stay feels familiar, safe, and enjoyable.&nbsp;
Capacity
Our home boarding is intentionally kept small-scale and is offered on a limited basis around our existing commitments. We do not operate as a high-volume boarding business, and availability varies depending on our circumstances and whether we feel we can provide the right level of care and attention to each dog. Every booking is considered individually, taking into account the dog’s personality, individual needs, size, temperament, and suitability for sharing the home environment with any other dogs who may be staying with us. There are also periods when we do not take any boarding bookings at all, and at other times we may have only one dog staying with us. Where circumstances and availability allow, we may occasionally be able to offer solo boarding. Our priority is always to accept only the bookings that comfortably fit around our existing commitments and allow us to provide a calm, attentive and enjoyable home environment for the dogs staying with us.&nbsp;
Professional Background and Transferable Skills 
I have a professional background in care, which has helped me develop a wide range of transferable skills that support the way I manage our home-boarding service. These include strong observation and communication skills, organisation, risk awareness and management, accurate record keeping, maintaining high standards of hygiene and environmental safety, and responding calmly and appropriately to any emerging concerns. My experience has also strengthened my ability to notice changes in a dog’s usual behaviour or general wellbeing, maintain structured and predictable routines, provide reassurance in unfamiliar situations, and seek advice from owners or veterinary professionals whenever appropriate. These transferable skills support my approach to providing a safe, attentive, calm, well-organised, and caring environment for every dog staying with us.&nbsp;
Supporting Dogs With Routine Medication 
My professional background has given me experience of carefully following medication instructions, maintaining accurate records, observing for changes, and following established safety procedures. When caring for a dog who requires routine medication, I follow the owner’s written instructions and any relevant veterinary guidance carefully.  My professional experience relates to human healthcare and does not replace veterinary expertise. However, the organisational skills, attention to detail, record-keeping, and careful adherence to instructions developed through my professional background are helpful when supporting dogs who require routine medication.&nbsp;&nbsp;
