I have always been a huge animal lover and truly believe there is something incredibly special about the bond we share with pets. Growing up with multiple dogs taught me from an early age how much love, comfort, and happiness animals bring into our lives, and I promised myself that when I was in the right position, I would have pets of my own too.
As a pet sitter, I’m caring, reliable, and attentive to every animal’s individual needs. Whether it’s keeping dogs safe and engaged on walks, sticking to feeding routines, being affectionate, or making sure pets feel calm and comfortable while you’re away, I always treat them as if they were my own. I also have experience cat-sitting and understand the importance of patience, routine, and respecting each cat’s personality and space. Your pets’ happiness, safety, and wellbeing will always be my priority.
I am currently doing a post graduate degree, and live on campus so I can only do home visits or live-in sitting, pets are not allowed inside the accommodation unfortunately. The campus has a nice area for walks though and a park opposite so it is an option! During term time I can mainly do weekday evenings and full weekends. On holidays, I am much more flexible. I am open to discussion about prices and my schedule, just send a message!

Hi, we’re Josh and Hayley, a cat-loving couple who have both grown up around cats from a young age. We currently have two Maine Coons of our own, Polo, who is 6, and Humbug, who is 5, so we’re very used to the different personalities, routines and demands that come with looking after cats.We know how important it is to feel confident that your cats are being properly cared for while you’re away. As cat owners ourselves, we understand that every cat is different. Some want lots of fuss and attention, while others prefer their own space and need a little more time to feel comfortable with someone new.We only offer cat sitting in the owner’s home. We don’t provide dog sitting or dog walking.During each visit, we can feed your cats, refresh their water, clean litter trays, spend time playing with them, give them attention and company, and generally make sure they’re happy and settled. We’re also happy to follow any specific feeding routines or instructions you normally have for them.Visits will usually last around 30 minutes, although we’re happy to discuss what your cats need. We can offer morning and evening visits, subject to availability, and can visit once or twice per day if required.We don’t currently offer overnight stays or house sitting. Our service is for visits to your home to care for your cats while you’re away.We’ll always treat your cats and your home with the same care and respect that we would want someone to give our own.

I began travelling in 2022 and soon after really felt that void of not having my dog with me, so I started pet sitting — and fell in love with it and want to continue now I am back home to hang out with your pets. I have had 4 years experience of looking after pets and I want to continue and do it as frequently as possible. I offer House sitting at your home, Home visits and Dog walking, I am not able to have pets in my home. 
I love being with animals, I have looked after Dogs, Cats and even Birds. From walks to cuddles on the sofa, they give me so much Joy and comfort. After loosing my best friend Woody (Cocker spaniel) 2 years ago, it became even more important to be around animals, who can help you heal. I have looked after mainly dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, especially a 65kg 9 month old St Bernard (seen pictured) who was a cheeky boy, but was a big softy. I am happy to also stay over in your home for a fee. I have mainly house sat with pets and can provide solid references if this is something you are looking for as well as walking/ home visits.
I have had so many unique experiences in New Zealand, Australia and in the UK (North West England where I am from). So I have lots of experience in different parts of the world. Looking to continue my services and meeting some new faces that will make me smile.&nbsp;
So far my schedule is free weekends, lunch times and weekday evenings. Please reach out if you have any questions.


I’ve always had a passion for animals. Growing up in a home full of pets, I quickly learned how to take care of them and understand their needs. From feeding and grooming to playing and walking, being around animals has always been natural for me. Over the years, I’ve also helped friends and family by taking care of their pets when they were away on holidays. I made sure their pets felt safe, loved, and well cared for, no matter how long they were gone.

To gain even more confidence and skills, I completed a course in pet sitting and dog walking. This training taught me about animal behavior, safety, and the best ways to care for pets in different situations.

I treat every pet I look after as if they were my own, giving them lots of love, patience, and attention. Whether your dog needs a walk, your cat needs company, or your smaller pets need daily care, you can trust me to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away and keep your pets safe, healthy, and loved.

Let me know how I can help you and your furry (or not-so-furry) friends!

As an active person who loves animals, my daily routine is centered around long walks, fresh air, and quality time with pets. I walk around 10 kilometers a day, but I always adapt the activity level to suit each animal’s needs. Whether it’s an energetic walk, gentle playtime, or quiet companionship, I make sure every pet gets the care and attention they require to feel happy and comfortable.

I have my own home with a fenced garden. My dog is friendly with other pets. I also have a spare bedroom for boarding dog or cat. For safety reasons, it’s important that the dog or cat is able to sleep in a separate room at night. This ensures a calm and secure environment for both the pet and the caregiver. It’s crucial to create a safe space where the pet can rest undisturbed and without any risk, ensuring their comfort and well-being.

I have always loved animals and growing up I always wanted to be a vet. I had hansters and fish when I was young, then we got an orange tabby cat and he was my world. He was the best family pet and we never replaced him. I then would look after friend's and family's animals. I met some wonderful dogs through "Borrow My Doggy"  and gained lots of experience walking dogs and pet sitting them in my own home with some overnight stays thrown in! I enjoy it so much, it's such rewarding work and your pet will be treated as part of our family as we love all animals. Our son who is 16 months old loves dogs. Whenever we see them out on our walks he gets so excited and starts woofing! I have experience with cat sitting as well, looking after friend's cats while they've been away on holiday. Making sure they are clean, have clean litter boxes if they're used, fed, have clean water, are given lots of strokes and scratches under the chin and even cuddles if they let me! To work with your animals is a dream come true, I couldn't think of a better office!&nbsp;
For dog walking, firstly I will arrange a meeting in a park that's good for us both and bring some treats so I can make a new furry friend quickly. Tell me what they like to do on walks, where you usually go, anything I need to be aware of e.g. are they allowed off lead, how is their recall, any breeds or other animals to avoid etc. If I'm cat or small animal/bird sitting, I'll meet you in your home and you can run me through their daily routine so I can keep them as happy as possible and so they can get to know me as well (I'll bring treats!). I'm more than happy to do a couple of meet ups and visits depending on your pet's needs/temperament etc. When you go away please leave me your vet's number, their out of hours number, your emergency contact and, show me how you administer any medication if required.&nbsp;
I will take up to 2 dogs from different households or the same household on walks, walks usually last around 45 mins to an hour, whatever your dog normally prefers and I can do 1-2 walks a day per dog. My favourite places to walk are Farington Park, Worden Park and I can take your dog to Salmsbury Secure Dog Run for an extra fee.&nbsp;
In an emergency I am pet first aid trained so can administer basic first aid if needed. I will keep you up to date on everything to do with your pet when they are left in my care via text or WhatsApp.&nbsp;
I am fully DBS checked, have a full clean UK driving licence, and certified in dog and cat first aid.&nbsp;
Please note: due to having a young child at home all pets must have their up to date vaccinations. Thank you for your understanding.&nbsp;


Hi! My name is Freya and I have always had a HUGE love for animals and it is my dream to work with them!
DBS checked
I have grown up around animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, hamsters and rats
I currently have 3 gorgeous cats called Pippa, Oliver, and Pumpkin as well as my partners dog I call my own called Monty. As well as in my life having three whippets called Jax, Lucky, and Alfie️ Due to having multiple cats that dont always get along and aren't always friendly, I am confident around animals that aren't big on people!
I am very confident in multi-pet households with growing up in a household with both cats and dogs, and understand that they don't always get on! I will make sure everyone stays happy and comfortable and gets equal amounts of attention! 
I am very confident in the care that is required when looking after animals and love to play and give cuddles️️
My services includes overnight stays, and house visits both once and twice a day! While flexible, I'd like to keep my pet sitting visits to a maximum of 10 miles out. My house visits can last between 30-60 minutes, or if necessary, 90 minutes depending on the situation, with overnight stays starting and ending when required. During my visits i will ensure all pets are fed and have access to outside if thats needed, and have maximum cuddles and play. If there are any specific individual requirements i will make sure they are met and ensure all pets are taken care of to the best standard!! I will also send any photos/updates regarding your pets while you are away!
When handling emergencies, unless told about anything specific from you, I will immediately call you or if necessary get emergency help from the vets. If there is any medication required, with full instructions I am sure I will be capable of administering it, as I have some experience in giving dogs pills and cats flea treatment. However if I don't think I will be able to I will refuse, in order to make sure your pets are in the best hands. 
I have experience around many different kinds of behaviour, with my own cats each having their own boundaries and personalities. I am able to understand what to and what not to do regarding an animals behaviour in order to ensure they are comfortable. One of my cats hates human interaction and therefore I leave her be unless necessary, my other cat loves to play therefore I make time to play with him, and my other cat doesn't play so much, but LOVES a cuddle, so he gets them all!! 
I have spent alot of time over my life with different pets through family and friends. I know a dog who gets very anxious when his mum leaves, but he is soon calmed down with some cuddles, reassurance, and the occasional treat! While I am not equipped with being able to provide any basic training, I can certainly make sure that good behaviour is rewarded as much as possible!! 
On any visit and/or overnight stay I will ensure all pets and I follow the routine laid out regarding feeding, water, outside time and if needed walks. As well as the right amount of cuddles and playtime that is required for them!! 
I understand just how important it is to know that your fur babies are in safe and experienced hands, and I can guarantee that your pets are in extremely friendly and capable hands with me🩷

Animals have been at the center of my life for as long as I can remember, growing up with rescue cats and small indoor pets. As someone with OCD and ADHD, I have turned how my brain works into my greatest pet-care strengths: my OCD means I am naturally meticulous about structure, hygiene, and following care instructions down to the exact detail, while my ADHD gives me an endless reserve of affection and enthusiasm for keeping pets entertained and engaged. Because I do not take on dogs, my space and focus are dedicated entirely to calm, gentle animals who thrive on quiet consistency and continuous, loving attention.
I provide three dedicated daytime services:
Home Boarding (At My House): Your pet stays in our peaceful, dog-free home for day care or while you are away. Cats have their own secure, quiet room with climbing perches, cozy beds, and clean litter areas. Small animals and reptiles stay safely in their enclosures within a quiet, climate-controlled space, receiving consistent supervision, misting, and spot-cleaning.
In-Home Full-Day Care (At Your House): I stay with your pet at your home for the entire day (typically 8 to 9 hours). This includes precise feeding times, litter and enclosure maintenance, habitat temperature checks, play, and steady human company for pets who hate an empty house.
Drop-In Home Visits (30 or 60 Minutes): Structured check-ins to refresh water and meals, scoop litter, spot-clean vivariums or cages, and provide dedicated play and cuddles.
Pets I Welcome
Cats: Indoor kittens, adults, and seniors.
Small Mammals: Rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, rats, and mice.
Reptiles &amp; Lizards: Leopard geckos, crested geckos, bearded dragons, and other pet lizards.
Birds: Budgies, cockatiels, and other small companion birds.
My home and care services are completely dog-free to prevent noise and stress. I do not take on dogs of any breed, large monitors, venomous species, or outdoor aviary setups.
Practical Details &amp; Setup
Our home is a clean, smoke-free, and dog-free environment with secure windows and no free-roaming resident animals. Since I work from home, pets boarding with us or under full-day care enjoy genuine company all day long rather than being left alone between check-ins. I am pet first-aid trained, comfortable following precise habitat parameters (basking temps, humidity levels), and experienced in giving oral or topical medications. Every booking begins with a free meet-and-greet to review your care sheet and daily routine step-by-step.
