House Sitting in West Somerset

“We couldn’t have asked for a more lovely dog sitter for our 2 year old and puppy Viszlas. Excellent communication & wonderful care given throughout the day. So grateful & had a great day out on holiday because of Nicolas fantastic care. Thank you ?”

“I have known Martha for a couple of years, and if I can guarantee anything, is that Martha knows how to look after and care for animals. The way she treats her dogs is out of this world,you could not find a more caring and compassionate person for the job.”

“Our GSP Percy had a marvellous time staying with Clariss recently.He had many lovely walks which is very important for an energetic breed of dog. Clariss sent at least two videos a day so we were always reassured that Percy was well. Clariss responds immediately to any messages and was most accommodating with timings for drop off and collection. We will certainly be asking her to look after Percy again. Beverley”

About: I have always had a soft spot for animals, and anytime family friends needed help with their pets I was always the first to help. Meaning I have plenty of experience in different ages/ different breeds of dogs and cats. I have a dog of my own, my gorgeous pug called coco which means I have experience in crate training and potty training and I’ll be more than happy to take on any aged dog when looking after your pet!🙂 I currently work for an agency, meaning I pick and choose my hours that I work. This means that I will be very flexible with my services and can do boarding every night of the week currently🙂 Moreover, with my free time it will mean I can ensure long walks and loads of loving and company for your pet I have a patient and very loving pug called coco who will be there to keep your dog company, if your dog doesn’t get along with other dogs let me know beforehand🙂 I have a nice sized garden and live in a small village called never Stowey which is about a 5 minute walk away from the Quantock lakes which will ensure your dog lets out all there needed energy🙂

“We have always been reluctant to leave our tiny rescue Poodle with anyone. She doesn’t like everyone, even people she is used to, and can be quite reticent. However, as soon as she saw Fiona, she jumped onto her lap for a cuddle. We knew we had found someone we could trust. We were right. Fiona took wonderful care of our precious baby and we wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again.”

“Nick & his family are great with dogs. My collie loves them all. They have looked after my dog several times; for up to a week or more. She is always very happy to see them. I have total confidence in their ability to care for my dog and would totally recommend Nick & his family to dog sit.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I can remember, we always had a family dog, Oscar, throughout my childhood, and Mizu now. As well as so many other pets throughout my childhood, almost any you could think of! The last 2 years have been more animal filled than usual, since I’ve had a career change from a Carpenter within the TV & Film to E-commerce my time freed has given me so much more time to look after beautiful pets. I recently returned from Goa, India, where, after messaging a surf school I found myself looking after the Surf School owners dog, Foxy! Everyday for 2 months I explored Goa with Foxy, taking her on the bike absolutely everywhere with me, beach walks everyday as well as to eat (yes Indian dogs eat Indian food) I had the best time! Prior to India I spent the 2023 Summer cycling from the UK to Istanbul, meeting many, many, dogs along the way, most of them chasing me! I’ve added some photos of the Lay-by and street dogs I’ve met along the way. Since returning from India I’ve found myself looking after my friends Great Dane, Henry! They’ve recently had a baby and occasionally go away with her, I’m more than happy though:) I love walking and the outdoors in general, if that’s what you want for your pet, I’m of course happy to do so, whatever I can do to make you feel comfortable. I work exclusively from my laptop, so wouldn’t have to go anywhere during pet sitting time. I also don’t have a vehicle, I do drive and have a full UK licence, but, after 10 years of driving I no longer feel the need for a permanent car, I prefer the Dutch way of travel, on my bicycle! Note, If you needed me to take your dog somewhere specific to walk and you had a vehicle, I’d be happy for you to insure me for the duration of the stay, I’m an experienced and confident driver. Thanks for reading, I hope to hear from you. I exclusively work from my laptop, tablet and phone, on my own schedule for my own business, so would always be available for you and your pets:) As an owner you’re able to trust me, I’m very mindful of doors/roads etc and can follow any specific rules you might have. Your pets safety and well-being are my top priority.

“Hannah once again, did a wonderful job looking after the dogs, and cat while we were away. It makes a huge difference knowing that Hannah is taking good care of the animals within their own home, keeping to familiar routines. Thank you Hannah”

“Chloe was amazing, had to deal with a very hectic house due to a family wedding which resulted in a late start but was extremely patient. My pup has severe allergies so can be difficult at times but Chloe was great with her. Came home to a very happy dog, couldn’t recommend more.”

“Lovely friendly couple looked after our furbaby Ronnie. felt at ease the minute we met Rhodri and Grace looked after our home can’t praise them enough honest, trustworthy and kind will definitely recommend and will be using there services over and over again.”

“Really delighted to have found Leanne, who looked after my two fur babies and stayed in my home while we were away for several nights. Absolute professional - dogs were really relaxed and calm when we arrived home which is always a good sign and the house was absolutely spotless! She messaged frequently, sending updates and reassurances. I would certainly recommend her.”

“Great sitter would definitely recommend”

“Jo is amazing 🤩 she saved me filling in last minute notice, my furry friend loved her the moment she walked through the door they was bonding together and playing, 😃 Jo sent me regular updates videos and pics I couldn’t of asked for more she was absolutely perfect. So pleased and for sure will use her services again and recommend her. Great great great 👍🏼”

About: I’ve house sat since I was 18 years old, from sheep to chickens, dogs, cats and horses; I’m very used to caring for all animals and their individual needs. I have a flexible working pattern so I am available to give your pets all the attention and care they require whilst you are away from home I care for the pets in my care as wished by the pet owner so that the pet can remain as happy and settled as possible.

“I have known Jack for many years, he looks after my Jack Russell many years back for me during the day while I was at work my dog loved Jack more than me. More recently I rehomed a working cocker spaniel who was very nervous and submissive. I went in to hospital for a few days and Jack come to the rescue for me and looked after the dog while I was away. When I got back it was like it was a different dog. Stopped weeing with excitement etc. Jack even did the washing up for me while house sitting. Highly recommended.”

“From the get go the communication from Dean was fantastic, from when we first organised for Dean to come and meet our puppy roughly a month before he was due to stay over, to on the actual days he stayed at our house and looked after our pets. He provided us with daily updates on Jesse and Bella, and when we got back Jesse was brushed and was quite clearly well looked after, and he treated our home with the utmost respect. Would definitely look to use Dean's services again in the future.?”

“I can speak very highly of Neil's exceptional care for dogs. He is very careful of the beloved pets that he takes care of. With genuine affection and unwavering dedication, he treats dogs as if they were his own. His extensive experience and deep understanding of canine behaviour ensures that all furry friends receive the utmost attention, affection, and tailored care. Neil goes above and beyond to meet every need of the dogs under his supervision, from meticulously following feeding and exercise routines to providing a nurturing and comfortable environment for rest. His commitment to the well-being and happiness of each dog shines through in every interaction. Not only does Neil excel in the basics of dog care, but he also demonstrates an intuitive understanding of each dog's personality, quirks, and preferences. This personalized approach made a significant difference in each dog's experience and can leave owners with complete peace of mind whenever they have to be away. I wholeheartedly recommend Neil to anyone seeking compassionate, reliable, and skilled care for their furry companions. He is truly exceptional in every aspect of dog caregiving.”

About: Always had dogs in our family, moved out 10 years ago and had my own dog, but after relationship breakdown I no longer have the dog and miss the companionship and caring for a dog, but can’t have my own again at the moment. I only work 3 days a week in the weekend, so have plenty of time for cuddles, walks and play time. Have plenty of green space and fields within a 5 minute walk too I have a metal fenced garden, plenty of indoor space too and dog friendly fields within a 5 minute walk. Secure building away from the main road
