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.

Looking for someone to host / look after two indoor cats tomorrow morning at their place for around 5 hours, as I’ve had unexpected work come up. I will drop them off to you before 8:00 am and pick them up later the same day. They’re friendly, generally calm, and easy to look after. One of them can be a little shy in new environments and may prefer to hang out in her carrier or find a quiet hiding spot for part of the time. Feeding and litter tray only — no medication required. Both cats are fully vaccinated and healthy (deflead/wormed). They should be kept securely indoors and away from other pets during the stay. Will provide food, litter, and anything else needed. Ideally looking for someone nearby with a safe indoor space. Short-notice job. Please let me know availability and location when responding.

My family and I will be away from 14 January to 25 January, and we are looking for someone who can care for our beloved Petunia and Archibaldo in their own home during that time. Our house will be going under repairs while we are away so we need someone to take our dogs to their own place. Petunia is a 19-month-old female pug, and Archibaldo is a 5-month-old male dachshund. They are both very friendly, toilet trained, and love cuddles and walks. We will, of course, provide plenty of food, treats, and toys for them.
Anna was absolutely amazing and my puppies really loved staying with her. She sent us photos and videos. Thank you so much Anna for taking such great care of Petunia and Archibaldo. I highly recommend Anna for any pet sitting services.
