Due to my experience with cats, I am currently only offering home visits for cats!
I am Hannah, I'm a final year student speech and language therapist and a crazy cat lady! Our house is ruled by cats and they outweigh us 3 humans at home and 5 cats- Ruby, Walter, Skyler, Jude and Reggie. 
Aside from looking after all of our little troublemakers, I have pet sat for family and friends many times.
I absolutely love meeting other people's cats, and will always take photos to send to you so you can see how your fur babies are doing!
I will typically aim to visit between the following times:
AM visit- 8:30-10:30
PM visit- 17:30-19:30
Please note that on Thursday evenings during school summer term I may be a little bit later for evening visits.
Along with feeding the cats and ensuring they have fresh water, I will spend some time with them and give them a fuss! I love playing with cats so if you have lasers and cat toys they will be well used! I am also happy to put out bins, pick up mail and put it in a pile, and water plants. Please do make sure to let me know if you would like me to do that.
Availability until May 12th:
Monday-Sunday available for morning and evening visits.
Beyond May 12th I will be unavailable until July were my availability will open back up again!

I'm putting a tentative paw into the world of pet sitting joining all pet lovers.
Having grown up with cats so I'm aware of different personalities and characteristics animals may have.
Currently I have my own cat (Napoleon) who is almost a 2 years old now. I've met multiple cats in all stages of life needing different requirements. I am able to administer oral medication &amp; injectable medications safely and carefully, I have done this for diabetics cats and animals with specific medications.
I am fully capable of brushing, feeding medicating and changing or spot cleaning any kitty litter.
I love taking funny &amp; enjoyable pictures of animals and sending them as update photos with a little caption.
Having owned cats of my own, I have also been the carer and owner of hamsters, goldfish amd occasionally horses.
I am available all day and would be able to work around my job in the Harpenden town centre to provide care for your cats.
I enjoy the individual personalities animals have and would like to know your pets preferences for treats, toys and behaviors.
I am currently working in the Harpenden Town Centre weekdays 9:00-5:30. I usually do drop ins before and after work depending on the usual feeding time. I like to plan walking routes from my home, to yours and then to work.
I am happy to watch over any plants that need watering. I can stick to the specific bowls, utensils and equipment only intended for cat use.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any queries.

Hi, I'm Lucy!
I am based in St Albans and my regular day job I am a Hair &amp; Makeup Artist for film, TV and theatre. However, I can go for long periods of time between working on productions so I like to keep busy. I adore animals and have grown up with many including dogs, cats, horses, sheep, chickens and ducks. I have had plenty of experience handling recuses (cats and dogs) both in my own family home and sitting for others.
Due to living in a rental property I am unable to have a dog of my own, and so would love to help look after your's. I have a car so can commute easily for check-ins or dog walks, and will happily send frequent photos and updates so you know that they are happy and healthy.
My hobbies include training in combat sports, going to the gym, reading and playing board games. I am very active and enjoy going for walks so would love a furry companion to join me.
Please send me a message if you have any questions and I look forward to getting to know you and your pets.

I am also willing to take them on walks 2-3 times a day. I also can take care of them while you're away for the day. I have experience with dogs and cats and I absolutely love them.&nbsp;I was born and brought up in a house full of pets. I had 3 German shepherds and 1 saint Bernard while growing up. Recently, I had&nbsp; 3rd generation of a German shepherd in our home names Shadow the IIIrd. His birthday is 17 July. And he passed in his sleep at 5 years old.I had 2 parrots fish separately names Golu and Cookie. I had a variety of fishes like parrots, peacock, betas, sliver disks, gold fish and even angel fish. I was unable to keep a dog because I was working and my parents couldn't take care of it anymore. And then I moved here. My saint Bernard named Docxy was like my little baby, we used to eat, sleep and even watch cartoons together. I grew up with her.&nbsp;We eventually have to give her away as Delhi was not a suitable climate for her. I gave up food for 2 days just cause I was very upset with the decision. She came to see me later for 2-3 years and we used to sleep on one another crying. I love my baby. Haven't seen her for ages. I hope she's happy and healthy.Anyway, I love pets. To that extent that I have planned a future with my significant other where I am going to be a mom to 3-4 dogs, 2 cats and a huge aquarium full Of fishes. That's my dream.

I am an engineer and I live in Stevenage with a 4-year-old kitten, with whom I have shared moments overseas.
I like pets, especially cats but also dogs. I offer to take care of your kitty if for any reason you don't have time or have to travel, either at home or staying in mine.
I have cared for friends' cats and I know their needs and habits. My motivation to be a pet sitter is because I like pets and because I also sometimes need pet sitters to take care of my cat when I have to be away for any reason.
In case I take care of them in my house, preferably they are neutered and vaccinated. My cat is neutered.
My work is hybrid remote, so I spend a lot of time at home. I live in an apartment with enough space for everything that is needed. I can also visit in the Stevenage area.


My journey with animals began in childhood, fueled by a dream to one day own a pet shop—a dream my parents nurtured by giving me a dog 14 years ago, who is still my loyal companion today. This lifelong passion has been the driving force behind my active involvement in Malaysia's animal community, where I dedicated myself to part-time pet care, rescue efforts, and adoption events. These experiences have not only allowed me to help countless animals but have also deepened my understanding and commitment to their well-being. Now, as a student in the UK, I am eager to continue this journey. I look forward to connecting with more furry baby here, bringing the same dedication and love I've always held, and taking every new encounter as a step closer to realizing my childhood dream. I have one dog 14 yo dogs now, and two foster dog before (they already in their new family) helping dog let me felt so good, I would like to explore how's the UK pets environment in my study year.

Hi! My name is Jess and I absolutely adore animals of all shapes and sizes. I have had dogs, cats, guinea pigs and hamsters, so please send through any enquiries.
I have had a couple years of experience in house sitting for cats and dogs, and also dog walking, so I offer an array of services.
I will walk your dogs per household (so if you have multiple dogs in one household, I can walk these together, otherwise I will not mix dogs from different households). I have a German shepherd and a Labrador and so I am used to big dogs who require a stronger arm.&nbsp;
I will cater to your needs and make sure that your fur friend is loved and safe when in my care!
Please feel free to reach out and I will provide you with further information regarding my services. I am based in Hemel Hempstead and Weybridge.




I am a caring and reliable pet sitter who truly enjoys spending time with animals. I especially love walking dogs and always adjust the route, pace, and length of the walk to the dog’s age, energy level, and personality. Safety is very important to me, so I choose suitable routes, stay alert to the surroundings, and make sure each dog feels comfortable and secure during walks. I have experience with both energetic dogs and calmer, more sensitive ones.

I also enjoy taking care of cats and understand that each cat has its own character and needs. I provide calm and gentle care, make sure they are fed on schedule, keep their litter box clean, and give them attention while respecting their space.

I believe good communication with pet owners is essential, so I always keep them updated and can send messages or photos during the care period. I am patient, responsible, and attentive, and I treat every pet as if it were my own.


Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and animal-loving sitter with hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including confident dogs, shy indoor cats, energetic puppies, and senior pets who need a gentler routine. I love getting to know each animal’s personality and adapting my approach so they always feel safe, understood, and comfortable. Professionally, I'm a Registered Nurse with over 12 years experience.&nbsp;

I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, cat sitting, feeding, litter cleaning, playtime, and general companionship.
My dog walks typically last 30–60 minutes, depending on your pet’s needs and energy level, and my drop-in visits are usually 20–40 minutes, giving plenty of time for feeding, cuddles, and a wellbeing check.

I’m confident handling pets with different behaviour styles — whether that means going slow with nervous or rescue animals or providing extra stimulation for high-energy breeds. I’m comfortable with basic grooming (brushing, wiping paws, cleaning eyes) and can administer simple medications such as tablets or topical treatments following your instructions.

Safety is always my highest priority. I double-check doors and gates, secure leads and harnesses, and pay close attention to body language so I can respond quickly if your pet feels stressed or overwhelmed. If anything unexpected happens, I follow your instructions, stay calm, contact you immediately, and get veterinary help if needed.

One of my favourite experiences was with a nervous rescue cat who hid under the bed during our first meeting. With time, patience, and gentle interaction, she eventually greeted me at the door, rolled onto her back, and followed me around for treats. Moments like that remind me why I love caring for animals they all have their own story, and earning their trust is something I truly value.

I’m committed to providing reliable updates, photos, and honest communication so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I’ll always care for your pets as if they were my own, keeping them happy, safe, and understood.

I look forward to meeting you and your adorable companions

Looking forward to possibly working with you


I’ve always believed that pets aren’t just animals — they’re family. Growing up in India, I had a dog who was like a brother to me. Even though I don’t have a dog right now, my bond with animals runs deep. I love spending time around pets and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away.
I’m detail-oriented, patient, and genuinely enjoy learning each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s playing, going for walks, or just chilling together, I’m all in. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs back home, and I understand how important it is to follow each pet’s specific needs and routines.
I only accept fully vaccinated pets because their health and safety come first. My motivation as a pet sitter is simple: I want to make life easier for pet owners while giving pets the best possible care and company.
