Services

Availability

I work as a fibre-optic engineer where my usual hours are 0700-1700, 4 days a week. Alongside being an engineer, I am also a part-time private security operative however these hours are very flexible and would not affect my availability. I would be more than happy to help before and/or after work and of course on weekends too. I will make sure that I am able to give your furry friend my 100% attention during the time I spend with them.

Safety, trust & environment

The safety of your pet and trust in your pet sitter is paramount when leaving your pet (and home) with someone new. I would be happy to meet up prior to the booking and ensure you are happy that I am able to look after your furry friend. I have worked in the security industry as a private security operative since 2015 and therefore would be very comfortable looking after your home whilst you are away. Your property and more importantly, your 4 legged family member, will be in very safe hands.

Information Yannick D. would like to know about your pet

It is important that I am aware of any special dietary requirements/allergies your pet may have, if they require medication and what little quirks they have. This way, I can minimise your worry and follow your instructions whilst also maximising your pets happiness during my visits.

A typical day

I am a former rugby player and current rugby referee therefore I have a high level of fitness and love going for walks no matter the weather. When dog walking, I will only allow your pet off the lead if you are comfortable with it. I own an SUV which i'd be more than happy to carry your pet in if they enjoy walks on the beach or in woodlands. Your pet will have my undivided attention!

Yannick D.'s Local Area

Reliable and caring cat lover!

Cat care experience

I have always had cats growing up as a child and my love for them has grown even more into my adulthood. In February 2025, I rehomed an elderly cat and she is just the best company. Having grown up with cats throughout my childhood and early adult years, I am very accustomed to the varying personalities and quirks that they can present and I'm always conscious to respect the way that each cat prefers to be handled (or not handled!).

Very attentive and friendly sitter. My cats really enjoyed his company and the photo updates were so nice. Thank you so much for looking after them!

Yannick was simply fantastic. Attended to our three kittens perfectly. Completely reliable and gave us a great daily run down of how our kittens were doing each day. He was kind and patient with them as they are quite timid, and over the course of the week built a great relationship with our pets and they all seemed to love having him there twice a day. Loads of picture updates and myself and my partner felt our furry friends were completely safe and looked after which meant we could enjoy our holiday. Would absolutely recommend and will definitely be in contact with Yannick for future holiday care.

Yannick was brilliant looking after our cat for a week. From my initial contact he was responsive, friendly and professional. He gave great information every day and send some lovely photos/videos. 10/10. Would thoroughly recommend and book Yannick again
