Pet care experience

Experienced pet sitters that have been dog sitting in the UK for 7 years. Myself and my husband have had cats and dogs our whole lives (both in our early 30s). We have had small and medium sized dogs in our home as our own pets, but with our latest pet passing a few years ago, we wanted to do some dog sitting! We lived in the Netherlands before moving to the UK (we are irish originally!) and we did dog and cat sitting and walking and over the 3 years we lived there. We haven't gotten our own pet as we have been moving around a lot the last 10 years so pet sitting is a great way to get some animal love! We are comfortable with lots of kids of pets, used to walking, keeping them company and playing with them! We are also happy to give medications and bathe pets as needed, as we both had to do that with our own pets. We have no pets currently so any pets we take in will have all our attention! We have a fenced in garden so they will have access to outdoor space. We also have no kids in the house so pets who are not keen on little children will be comfortable too.

Deirdre and her partner are amazing dog sitters! They were very communicative throughout and Elton was so comfortable with them immediately. We have booked in with them again later this year and we will definitely rebook again😊

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Deirdre and Liam. Our Jack Russell, Piper, was well looked after and is looking forward to her next visit!
