Planning a holiday, work trip, or weekend getaway can be exciting—but if you're a pet owner, it often comes with a big question: "Who will look after my pet while I’m away?" Whether you have a clingy cat, a playful pup, or a shy reptile, making the right care arrangements is essential for their wellbeing (and your peace of mind).
At Rhiannon’s Pet Sitting Services, I specialise in helping pets stay happy and relaxed at home while their humans travel—providing trusted, flexible Cambridge pet sitting that fits their routine.
Why Staying at Home is Best for Many Pets
While some pets may do fine in a kennel or cattery, many feel much safer and more settled in their own home. This is especially true for:
Cats, who are creatures of habit and find moving very stressful
Dogs who are elderly, anxious, or need regular medication
Small animals and reptiles with carefully controlled habitats
Horses, who benefit from someone checking in without the disruption of relocation
Staying in their own environment means no unfamiliar smells, loud noises, or confusing new routines—just the comfort of home.

When you book Rhiannon’s Pet Sitting Services, here’s what your pets can expect:

Preparing Your Pet for Your Trip
To make things as smooth as possible for you and your furry (or scaly!) companion:
Book Early – Especially during school holidays or summer

Do a Trial Visit – Great for nervous pets or first-timers

I always arrange a free meet-and-greet before the booking to learn about your pet’s routine and personality. That way, I can offer the same level of care you would give.
