House Sitting in South Britain

“I recently went away for 4 days and Laura watched my cat Felipe for me. As a first time cat owner and adopting Felipe almost 3 months ago, I was very nervous about leaving Felipe alone especially over night. Laura kept me updated the whole time, sent me pictures at every drop in to ease my worries and even did some extra drop ins to give him a little company. This was my first time using Laura as my cat sitter and she was absolutely amazing with Felipe. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby”

Highly recommended, will use for future stays!”

“Wow! Zara is the best! Zara and her family exceeded our expectations in every way!. Zara is loving, caring, knowledge and responsible caregiver. She clearly loves animals and loves the animals she cares for as her own. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Zara cared for our 150 lb Newfoundland dog, 2 cats, and 2 donkeys in our home for 13 days. Our dog has a very difficult time when we are away, and due to his size can easily be overwhelming. Zara was outstanding with him. We received daily photos and updates. The amount of love and attention that Zara and her family gave our pets was obvious. I highly recommend Zara.”

There is nothing I love more than caring for animals! I have very flexible availability. I can adjust my schedule to your needs.

I am very knowledgable of animal behavior and will always attend to your pets needs. I am an excellent communicator and will send pictures of your animal every day you're away from them.

“I felt completely comfortable using Rachael as a first time Dogsitter for my fur babies. She was responsive, responsible, and gave me the perfect amount of updates during her stay. If she had any questions, she asked them which I appreciate! I would 100% recommend her, she’s definitely conscientious and trustworthy. Thanks, Rachael!”

“Ian was the absolute best! He stayed at our house with our 2 dogs for 5 days. I received regular updates and pictures of them- which was so appreciated and needed being so far away from them. I’d have Ian back in a heartbeat!”

About: Animals have been the heart of my home since I was a child. Growing up with Labs, German Shepherds, and Mastiffs taught me how to be a confident leader and a compassionate caregiver. Today, my black cat Squirt is my best friend, and that same love I have for him is what I bring to every pet I sit for. ​I pride myself on being a trustworthy and caring sitter. When you leave your pets with me, you can rest easy knowing they are in the hands of someone who genuinely loves their company. I am happy to accommodate different sizes, energy levels, and personalities—I simply love being around animals and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I am currently not working, so my schedule is open. I want to spend my free time with animals of all kinds - making all of us happy and allowing me to feel fulfilled! I am great with animals. Dogs and cats trust me and can tell that I am a genuinely good person. I won't let anything bad happen to your loved ones on my watch!

About: I had a maltese puppy for 10 years from age 9 weeks onward and most recently had a shih tzu puppy that turned 1 on 5/28/25. In the oast I've had pets including hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, and fish of my own. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so your pup will get lots of attention and care throughout the day. Here's what a typical day looks like when your dog is with me: 🐾 Morning (7am–10am): Potty break, breakfast, and a light walk or play session 🐾 Midday (11am–2pm): Walks, potty breaks, enrichment games, or just relaxing cuddle time 🐾 Afternoon (3pm–6pm): Another walk or active playtime in a safe, calm environment 🐾 Evening (7pm–9pm): Dinner, a final potty break, and winding down for the night I'm available for: ✅ Drop-in visits ✅ Dog walking ✅ Puppy care Weekend and holiday availability included! I’m happy to accommodate special routines, medications, or specific instructions your dog needs to feel comfortable and loved. When you trust me to care for your dog, I show up with love, respect, and attention to detail — all in the comfort of your dog’s familiar surroundings. 🐶 In-Home Peace of Mind: I care for pets in their own homes, where they feel most secure. Whether I’m dropping in for a quick visit, taking your pup for a walk, or staying overnight, I follow your routine closely to minimize stress and keep your dog calm and happy. 🦴 Personalized, Gentle Care: I specialize in small breeds and have over 10 years of experience. From meal schedules and potty routines to medication or calming techniques, I provide care tailored to your dog’s specific needs. 🚶🏽‍♀️ Safe & Engaging Walks: Walks are done one-on-one in familiar areas, with close attention to your pet’s energy level, leash behavior, and comfort. I avoid crowded dog parks or risky environments to keep your dog safe. 📝 Trustworthy & Transparent: I communicate clearly, provide updates, and send photos during every visit. You’ll always know how your pet is doing, whether I’m there for 20 minutes or staying the night. Your pet stays safe, your home is respected, and you can relax knowing your furry family member is in loving, responsible hands.

“Samantha was wonderful caring for my cats and dog. I would use her again.”

About: Growing up, my family didn’t have pets of our own, so whenever we had the opportunity to host or care for one, I truly valued it. Over time, what started as excitement developed into a genuine passion for building real connections with animals. I’ve cared for dogs with very different personalities — from protective, high-energy breeds to small companion dogs. I pay close attention to body language and natural behaviors so I can approach each dog in a way that builds trust and comfort. I match their energy, respect their boundaries, and create an environment where they feel safe and understood. I have hands-on experience with puppies, leash training, and maintaining structure and routine. I’m comfortable reinforcing positive walking habits and supporting established crate training in a way that helps dogs feel calm and secure. I also carefully follow specific diets and detailed feeding instructions, understanding how important consistency is to a dog’s well-being. Outside of pet care, I’m building experience working with young adults with special needs. That work has strengthened my patience, attentiveness to nonverbal cues, and commitment to being dependable. I believe people should have someone they can rely on, and I carry that same responsibility into caring for animals. My focus is simple: safety, consistency, engagement, and genuine connection. ⸻ Core Strengths • Trust-building & reading canine body language • Puppy care & routine reinforcement • Leash handling & basic command reinforcement • Crate training support & positive association • Following specific diets and care instructions • Enrichment-based play & mental stimulation • Calm, patient, dependable care I currently work from 8–10 AM and 5:30–8 PM, which leaves my early mornings, late mornings, mid-day, and late evenings fully available for pet care. This schedule allows me to provide consistent attention throughout the day, including walks, playtime, feeding routines, and check-ins. Dogs in my care are not left alone for extended periods without a plan in place. I’ve successfully boarded two dogs with this routine, and we had a great experience maintaining structure, engagement, and plenty of activity throughout the day. My availability works especially well for: • Morning and mid-day walks • Consistent feeding schedules • Puppies who need more frequent attention • Dogs who benefit from structured activity and engagemen No matter where I am, in my home or at a client’s home. I prioritize following the care routine the owner provides. This ensures pets have stability and consistency while their loved ones are away. I make sure to provide: • Regular feeding according to specific diets and schedules • Plenty of mental and physical stimulation through walks, play, and enrichment activities • Safe, supervised time in the home, including supporting crate routines when applicable • Consistent attention to their comfort, energy levels, and emotional needs • Clear communication with owners, including updates and photos I tailor my care to each individual dog, respecting their boundaries and energy, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and engaged until their owners return.

“Isabelle took excellent care of our dog while we were away on vacation. She communicated often throughout her stay and made sure our little guy was well taken care of. We'll definitely be requesting her services again!”

About: I'm an enthusiastic overnight pet sitter who loves to make pets feel at ease and have fun while their humans are away! I have always been around animals and adopted a dog as soon as I was able. Since she passed away I'm always looking for ways to play with pets. For the active pups, I'm always up for a game of fetch or an adventurous trail walk, giving them the exercise they need to stay happy and healthy. For the more laid-back ones, I’m more than happy to provide some gentle snuggles and quiet companionship. Every pet is different, and I truly enjoy getting to know their unique personalities and preferences. Your furry friend will enjoy plenty of attention, a safe environment, and lots of love while you're away. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I do what I can to make their stay as fun and comforting as possible! I'm also happy and available to take dogs on walks or potty breaks during the day. I'm currently spending some time with my family in the east coast, but have lots of flexibility for daytime or overnight care. Although I ideally have a couple days notice, I can also make last-minute needs work. Its very important for me to establish trust with dogs prior to an overnight stay, and we can do that at their own pace by taking a calm walk or using treat rewards. While in your home I'll make sure to follow any safety rules and be very aware of doors, making sure dogs are always leashed before opening them (I had a dog that liked to take off for a while so am very vigilant about this!). If your dog has challenges with other animals, I can always make sure they have space on walks and play. I provide hands-on care with belly rubs and ear scratches to keep dogs calm and happy. I can handle oral medications and am happy to provide daily updates with photos :)

“Claire hung out with my Leela last minute. She kept me updated on my pup while I was away and was really sweet. Leela seemed very happy when I got back!! Thanks Claire!!”

“Molly is very kind and considerate to all of our pets needs. She followed all instructions and went above and beyond while house sitting to make sure we came home to happy dogs and a clean home. Can easily trust her to make sure our dogs are cared for while we're away.”

“Zach was the perfect choice for our dog and cat. After meeting with Zach, we immediately felt relief and comfort that he would be watching over our animals. Zach is responsible, friendly, and great with animals. It was clear that he had a good read on our dog and that they would be a good fit for each other. He kept us updated with what was happening along with pictures and videos, both of which made it clear that our pets were happy, enjoying themselves, and well cared for. I can't recommend Zach enough. Thanks for taking such good care of our animals!”

“Patricia was wonderful from the very first contact! She was willing to help us with everything, and we had a peaceful trip thanks to the way she cared for our dog, Milo. we were able to relax knowing he was in good hands. Patricia is definitely a kind and lovely person, and our dog loved being around her. His anxiety was much better, and we felt much more at ease.”
