Hi! We're Rachael and Benni, 26-year-old graduates living in Lymington for our jobs! We have a little cat ourselves, who is our treasure (his name actually means treasure in Norwegian) and we would love to help look after your treasures too! Rachael also has a beautiful old Staffie who lives with her mum! So, now settled into our new place, we'd really love to start some pet-sitting and walking again!
Rachael :
I have been a dog and pet sitter for many years, starting when my sister and I began our own dog walking business in the village when we were about 13. I've got experience with a variety of ages, sizes, and temperaments including looking after puppies from 12 weeks old and up, walking larger dogs like St. Bernards, and walking dogs with behavioural problems such as aggression toward other dogs, or fear of loud noises.
Benni:
As a family we had several dogs growing up and I have always been very fond of animals in general. I have dog and cat sat in the past and love going on a good dog walk, exploring the nature around us. Working as a pair, we're able to give the pets all the love and attention they deserve!
We would love to meet your pet/s first so we can get acquainted, you can help us with any specifications, house security etc. We're also keen plant mums and will happily water your plants when you're away.
We love allll animals and will happily come and check in on your pets, clean their litter, feed and water them etc. Over the years, we have both had a wide variety of animals ourselves including fish, gerbils, hamsters, rabbits, dogs, cats, stick insects, and a tortoise, so we feel that our knowledge is pretty varied but we are happy to learn about the care of other animals too!
Unfortunately, because we live in a rental, we cannot bring your pets to our house, but we are happy to look after them at yours. We'll keep you updated using pictures and videos so that you don't worry and can enjoy your time away!
We also have pet sitter, walker, and carer insurance, for even more peace of mind.
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Benni and Rachael did an amazing job pet sitting for our very timid 9 month old kitten. They were patient and understanding that she’s easily frightened and not comfortable around new people. Clearly they’re both cat lovers and understand their behaviours well.
Communication throughout our three days away was brilliant and detailed. We were happy to know that everything was taken care of and that our cat, and home, were safe and secure.
We’ll be asking them to sit again next time we go away.
Bennie and Rachel were very easy to communicate with and flexible regarding our food schedules and other needs. They made my trip so much easier because I didn't have to worry about my cat. They sent me regular photo updates. I am very happy to have gotten to know them and would love to work with them again. Thank you Bennie and Rachel! :)
