We have pet sitted thr past few months for family and friends cats and dogs and have found it very rewarding so would like to take it to the next step. We are Foster carers so i have a full DBS and spare time when the children are at school all day. I have time, energy and would like the commitment if given the chance.

| I'm a 23 year old girl who would like to take care of your pet. I do not have previous experience of pet sitter however I do have knowledge and experience of the pets, as I had pets before at my family home all the time, for example; dogs, cats, snakes, ferrets, hamsters and spiders. I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. Provide safe, nurturing care for a wide range of animals. Consistency and problem-solving to ensure pets receive the right food and medications (If required). I do not have any pets apart from my tarantula. As in home sitting (at your house) I'm unavailable to do that. I prefer to do it at my house. I do not drive so unfortunately I won't be able to take your pet from your home if it's far away. If it's not too far then there's not a problem. I live in Ilkeston. I will take care of your pet even if it's vaccinated or not. All animals are welcome. Providing last-minute services for emergency circumstances. If you are interested please message me

| Hello! I’m a confident, responsible lad looking to earn some extra money on the side. Aswell as create friendships and bonds throughout. Having had 3 dogs in total, I believe my experience in nearly every situation will come in great use when caring for your pets. Anything else just ask!

I'm a friendly and reliable and support many cat and dog rescues. I love all breeds and happy to help with all aspects of sitting. I have 4 cats of my own and two dogs and I work with a Cat Rescue and fostered, adopted etc! I'm a Mum of 3 and 40 years old. Cats are my world and I really am a crazy cat lady and adore them so much. I'm also easy to get along with, and trustworthy as been a Support Worker also. I'm also employed at a Pet Service.

| I love all animals. I have experience looking after dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, fish and hamsters. Feeding, walking, cleaning out cages. Experience in grooming.

| I believe I am a hard working experienced individual who has a passion for animals. I have completed my animal care diplomas (lv 2&3) and I am able to drive so transportation would not be an issue.

| Dogs I volunteer as a dog walker with the Cinnamon Trust. I have been doing this for over 2 years. I'm also experienced in basic grooming (brushing, washing, drying) Cats I've been lucky enough to have cats all my life. I have three cats, and pride myself on being a responsible pet owner through regular vet checks, up-to-date vaccinations & flea/worming treatments (oral/ topical administration) & ensuring a constant supply of quality food & water. In 2017, my cat gave birth to 4 kittens, and it soon became apparent that the queen and the smallest kitten weren't bonding. The kitten was suffering greatly & required human intervention to survive. I sought advice from multiple local vets, and purchased quality kitten milk, a syringe (which the kitten did not take to) and a bottle (which the kitten did take to). I had to care for the kitten in all the ways her mother was meant to, including hourly feeds and also the stimulation of urine & faeces (using a warm cotton pad). I weighed each kitten every day and recorded all changes. RSPCA work I volunteer for my local RSPCA shelter as a Home Visitor. This entails ensuring potential owners are suitable to adopt an animal by conducting home checks and reporting my findings.

| Hi, I’m Jordan! I studied Animal Care and hold a certificate in the subject. I am always looking for new, exciting courses to do to broaden my knowledge in the area too. I am DBS checked and hold a full driving license with business insurance should I need to transport your fur babies. Currently I am pet sitting around job and in my free time so please don’t hesitate to enquire about dates and times as I am quite flexible. Upon meeting you I will discuss what your house rules are, what the needs of your fur babies are and any additional information you’ll think I need to give them the best care possible while you’re away. Most importantly, I’ll make sure they have the absolute best time in your absence! It would be great if you could let me know about any special requirements your dog/cat would need/want while I am caring for them so I am able to give them the best, personalised care I am able to. I am a very house proud person so rest assured your home will be taken care of just as much as your pet while you’re away! I understand how great it feels to come home to a clean home so I like to extend that feeling out to everyone I have the pleasure of working with.
