More photos from my Pet Sit with WILLOW & MITTENS, now that it has come to an end 🐈

I have no availability this next week due to 0 childcare. So I will be taking the week off and enjoying the last week of the Summer Holidays properly 👶🏼
Replies may be a tiny bit slower, but I will sit down each evening and go through them.

Availability 7th - 28th September…

I am slowly putting together our HALLOWEEN GOODYBAGS for all of my OCTOBER bookings (Dogs/Cats) - I currently have 12 of these to put together, they will also be sold if any customers not booked in would like to purchase one 🎃

20.8.25 - MITTENS 🐈
Mittens is completely food oriented - wherever food is, Mittens is.
I place treats in separate areas of the rug in the morning and evening, so Mittens has to move to get each treat (rather than just all being in one place). Straight afterwards he will go to his food bowl and eat the remaining food. Have a little play or nap and then be off for the day.

His sister Willow is like a completely different cat, she will wonder into the front and back garden but then stay inside the majority.

I am with Mittens & Willow for a few extra days now so there owner can have a little longer break on holiday ☀️

I am heartbroken 💔
Lola passed away yesterday (28.07.25), she hasn’t been well for a while now with her teeth falling out from the beginning of this year and her back legs slowly going over the past couple of months - but she has fought and tried her best to keep going. She waited until I was home from a 5 day pet sit before she crossed over the rainbow bridge 🌈
I have lost dogs in the past but this is completely different, she wasn’t just a ‘dog’… she was my best friend 😢
Lola saved me in more ways than you can imagine. I bought Lola a few months after my Dad passed away when I was just 17 (a couple of months before my 18th birthday), with part of the money he had left me. She was the one thing I lived for and that got me through the worst possible time of my life with grief. She was the most expensive but the best thing possible that I could have used part of the money on. She has changed my life massively as well as being a big part of my journey.
My beautiful Lola, 16.04.2018 - 28.07.2025 🐶

28.07.25 - 1st photo; they both know I’m leaving and have followed me everywhere while I have been packing/cleaning up 😢

Remaining photos are some others throughout this pet sit. Going to miss this pair. Leaving is always the worst part of a pet sit when you have grown a bond with the animal(s), over however long I have been there. I really do love my job ❤️

27.07.25 - COCOA 🐶
Cocoa came from a rescue 5 months ago, she is a very timid dog and takes a lot of time to trust humans. To begin with she would stand and bark at me with her owners around, due to being protective over them but then come over to me when on her own. We don’t know how or why she was put into a rescue so can imagine with how she is, it wasn’t good 😢
Over the past 3 days we have built up trust massively. On the first night she would sleep in a total opposite bedroom and other than her walks or food time, would be upstairs on the bed. By Day 2 she would start to follow me around, give paw and come stay where I am. I let her come to me, I didn’t overboard her or want to scare her. Trust is built by leaving her be and letting her take the roll to be able to be comfortable. Now she is with me 24/7. This is one of the most amazing parts of this job, from being a timid dog to then seeing how they are with you just 3 days in 🙈
Her brother Ryan on the other hand is my little shadow and follows me everywhere I go.

1 more night to go with this pair, hopefully more in the future 🤞🏼
