Ten year experience housesitting and petsitting

Pet care experience

I have been a housesitter for many friends and family in various areas including in the city, rural locations and in Spain which included odd jobs around the property. I have also had many years experience petsitting dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, chickens, guinea pigs etc in England as well as in Spain. I have had many pets of my own including two Golden Retrievers, a cat, two rabbits, hamsters and gerbils. I volunteered for months in a dog shelter in Spain taking care of the dogs with feeds, walks, basic medical care and generally playing with them and have looked after these dogs in my own home with ages ranging from a few month old puppy to a senior dog. Animals are the best creation on this planet and they deserve to be well cared for and loved unconditionally. I am happy to travel over 100miles to a home to stay for a minimum of a week if some petrol money is also included in the price. I am a full time online tutor so i will be at home with your pet all day if required so they won't be left on their own.

April looked after my dog yesterday while we were out. She followed my instructions to the letter, and my dog was obviously happy being with her. I cannot recommend April enough. We will definitely be using her services again. I feel my dog is safe, happy and well looked after in April's care. Five stars.

We booked April to stay at our house and look after our pets based on a recommendation from neighbours. We are glad we went with the recommendation because everything was perfect. April sent us photo updates every so often and reassured us everything was good at home. The dogs and cats were happy to be at home rather than in kennels and loved all the attention. We would happily recommend April and would also be more than happy to use her services again.

April was great with our dog, super responsive and responsible, left the house clean and tidy (even washed the bedding) and kept us updated while we were away. We'd absolutely recommend her. So would our pooch!

April, was amazing! Our little dog loved her and she sent us Pup dates while we were away, which was lovely. The house was left perfectly, I would not hesitate to recommend April and would gladly have her back for our next trip away. Thanks from Nala and the Rance Family x
