Fiona was wonderful and took great care of our boy Oliver. Oliver can be quite anxious and high strung but he was so happy and relaxed when he returned home. Fiona kept me updated throughout the evening with photos, was very professional and reliable. She was available on short notice and the service provided was impeccable. I will definitely use Fiona again!

What does professional pet sitting include?
Pet sitters will give your pets the practical care they need, as well as love and attention they crave while you’re away. Professional pet sitters are experienced in looking after dogs, cats, birds, chickens, ducks, snakes, rats, mice, guinea pigs, fish, horses, cows, and many more animals. Some ways your pet sitter may help are:
Feeding your pet
Most pets need feeding once or twice a day, plus water checked, changed, and topped up. Your professional pet sitter will make sure your pet has fresh, clean water and that they’re fed on schedule with the right quantities and foods, as specified in your instructions. If your pet has special dietary requirements, you can let your pet sitter know so they can accommodate them.
Exercising your pet
While some pets get enough exercise from running around their enclosure or yard area, if you have a dog, they’ll probably need regular walks. Whether it’s three times a day or just a couple of times a week, your pet sitter can take your dog for a walk so they stay fit, happy, and healthy while you’re on holidays or working late in the office.
Cleaning up
Don’t come home from your holiday or a long day at work to a messy house, yard, or cage. Your pet sitter can take care of all kinds of pet messes so you don’t have to stress. They’ll pick up dog droppings and dispose of them in the bin, change kitty litter as needed, and replace the newspaper in the bottom of your bird or reptile enclosure. Plus, if you’re on an extended holiday, your pet sitter can help arrange pet grooming services like dog grooming and dog washing.
Catering to special requirements
Do you have a dog with diabetes or cat with cataracts? If your pet needs extra special attention, let your professional pet sitter know. Most pet sitters are experienced in pets with special needs, including daily injections, specific diets, giving oral medications, and more. They can even help arrange visits to the vet if your pet needs some extra care.

Hi there, I’m looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter (pet sitters home, not mine unfortunately) to care for my dog, Lola, while I spend some time with my mum. The dates I’m looking at would be about 2 weeks possibly leaving end of this week (let’s say the 16th) but it may change. Lola is a 13-year-old, very chill dog who can be a little timid at first but quickly warms up and loves anyone who cares for her. She’s low-maintenance and mostly enjoys lounging around, so she’s easy to look after once she feels comfortable. I’ll need someone to take care of her for a few weeks, and as it’s a longer stay, I’m hoping to find someone open to offering a more affordable rate for the extended time. Please let me know if you’re available and what your rates would be for the duration. Thanks so much! Liv
Absolutely amazing!! Couldn’t recommend enough

My partner and I are looking for someone to stay at our house in Flemington and look after our dog from the 29th - 1st December. Chef is a 4 year old bloodhound/kelpie who loves attention and napping. Chef will need an hour walk on the Saturday but other than that all you will be responsible for is feeding him. Our home is a modern two bedroom terrace house with modern amenities so you’ll be able to kick back and relax. Please feel free to ask us questions through the app but note we will want to meet you before finalising the job as Chef means the world to us.

Need someone to take care of my 3 year old miniature dachshund at your house. Slinky cannot be left home alone for more than 3 or 4 hours so ideally would prefer a household where there are 2 or 3 people. Preferably no other pets should be at your house during this time. Slinky is fine with teenagers and adults but sometimes barks at babies and toddlers. He will also most likely want to sleep in your bed at night (don't worry, he's 80% toilet trained which means he knows to jump off your bed to do wee on the training pads which I will provide.) I will supply his bed, leash, food and toys for the duration of his stay.
Aaron was very patient in taking care of Slinky whilst I was away. Unfortunately Aaron's house was a bit of a mess which meant Slinky's collar and leash went missing.

Looking for a dog sister until Wednesday night or Thursday morning for our Bichon frise. You will be minding the dog at your house although we will provide food. He is a happy and very friendly dog
Sil and his family took exceptional care of our dog, treating him as if he were their own. They kept us updated with photos and daily summaries. I highly recommend them for dog sitting. They exceeded our expectations, and our dog clearly enjoyed the walks and attention.
