House Sitting Amber Valley

About: I live in Ripley and work in Matlock Bath so flexible across locations between this radius. I recently joined Rover after previously providing pet care through Cat in a Flat. **Not available during the day on weekends - Primarily available for early morning/evening visits - but can factor in more dependent on my work schedule** I grew up with Maine Coon cats looking after them from their kitten stages right through to their senior years. I understand grooming needs for furry friends, and know that every cat has a unique personality and I always take the time to get to know them in a way that they can feel comfortable and safe in their own environment. I also have experience walking and caring for dogs. I am confident handling smaller breeds and am familiar with larger dogs through my partner's lurcher. Whether your dog enjoys an energetic walk, gentle stroll, or just some companionship, I tailor my care to suit all of their needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I'm always happy to share regular updates and photos while you're away for complete peace of mind. I look forward to meeting your furry family members! I work full time including weekends, but can factor in early morning/evening visits if necessary. I usually have two mid-week days off scheduled around my work, so ideal if you are away during the week. My partner is also flexible to assist with any dates that I am personally unable to attend. When caring for pets in their own home, I always aim to keep their routine as consistent as possible to help them feel comfortable and relaxed whilst the owners are away. Before taking on any bookings, I like to learn as much as possible about the pet's individual needs so that I can provide the best care possible. I keep lists of where important items are kept, and times for feeding schedules etc. While I am mainly focused on walks and drop in services for your pets, I can look at offering care in my own home if the dates match with my schedule.

“Clare was amazing, great at communication and punctual. She kept in touch during the sit and was flexible with timings. I would definitely recommend asking Clare”

“Thank you so much for looking after Robin and Gracie. Julia was calm and caring with our dog and cat, they bonded with her immediately . She arrived on time and showed a very professional approach during her stay. When we returned the house was tidy. I would use Julia again if we needed to be away again.”

“Stepped up to the mark at short notice allowing us to attend a funeral feeling happy that our dogs would be well looked after. Fed the dogs and played with them, peace of mind for us priceless. Thanks!”

“From the moment I met Beth, I felt completely confident about leaving Blossom in her care. She is so friendly, clearly has a genuine love for dogs, and is obviously passionate about animals. Beth took such amazing care of Blossom during her stay. Blossom wasn’t able to manage long walks, so Beth was incredibly thoughtful and took her on lots of shorter walks instead. She also sent me the most beautiful photos throughout the booking and kept me updated regularly, which gave me such peace of mind. Blossom needed medication during her stay, and Beth followed all of my instructions perfectly. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and an unexpectedly clean house! Beth had even stripped the bed, washed the bedding and hung it out to dry. I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience. 10/10 would recommend Beth, and I absolutely can’t wait to book her again. She was fantastic from start to finish! ❤️”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was around 15, helping family walk, feed and look after their pets. I enjoy long walks and meeting new dogs! I’m about to move back from university so have plenty of spare time on my hands and not a lot to do! I feel this would be a very good way to fill spare time!! I can easily adapt to new environments and different types of dogs and their needs. If their favourite game is fetch well play lots of it!!

I’ve trained many puppy’s and have experience with senior care I’m currently available for pet care after 3:30pm on weekdays and boarding over weekends. I can accept boarding on weekdays however the dogs would be left On their own whilst I am at work I have a fenced garden in a very quiet neighbourhood. I can put the dogs in crates if needs be.

About: Hi! I’m Jasmine, and I have lots of hands-on experience caring for animals. I currently work as a veterinary receptionist at a small animal vets, so I’m used to being around animals every day and understand the importance of their health, welfare and individual routines. I’m also starting an Animal Science course at college and working towards a career in veterinary nursing. I’m responsible, caring and reliable, and I’m very happy to follow detailed instructions from owners. I understand that every dog is different, so I’ll always take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and happy while they’re in my care. 🐾 I’d love to meet you and your dog and hopefully become someone you can trust for regular walks, drop-ins or pet care! ❤️ Pet care would fit really well around my current lifestyle. I work part-time at a small animal vets and will be starting my Animal Science course at college, so I would mainly offer pet care around my existing commitments, particularly evenings, weekends and days when I’m available. I’m organised and responsible with my time and would only accept bookings that I know I can give my full attention to. I’m hoping to build up a small amount of regular pet care alongside work and college, rather than taking on too much. I’d especially love to build relationships with local owners who need someone reliable for regular dog walks, drop-in visits or occasional pet sitting. I have dogs of my own, so I’m very used to caring for animals safely and responsibly. I make sure they’re secure, have everything they need, and are never left without proper care. 🐶❤️

“Cassie was so brilliant with my dog. He was a bit anxious at first and she gave him lots of belly rubs and helped him to settle. She sent pictures and updates throughout the evening so I knew he was well looked after and could enjoy the evening without worrying. I had needed to amend timings with Cassie and she was so accommodating and flexible. I will definitely book Cassie again on the future and would highly recommend. :)”

About: Hi! 👋 A little bit about me…I’ve grown up with animals in my life and have had pets since age of 5. Growing up on a farm, I’ve always naturally had an affinity for animals. I have experience looking after kittens, puppies, cats as well as dogs. I have been trusted to dog sit for friends and family for most of my adult life, but have been doing so professionally for the last few years. If you have any questions at all - feel free to message me. I currently work from home so have now got increased capacity to make weekly trips to look after other peoples pets. Hence I am opening my availability up to provide care for more pets. Caring for each pet is different and I am more than happy to meet requirements of each pet’s specific needs and routine alongside providing a watchful eye and fulfilling their personal interactive needs such as cuddles/petting, treats, and continuing their training as requested.

About: I previously owned and operated a pet store for six years, building a substantial clientele and earning trust. I have a deep understanding of the behavioral cues of both cats and dogs and expertise in caring for dogs with various health issues, including conditions like ear mites, interdigital dermatitis, and skin diseases. I am knowledgeable about the causes and treatments for these ailments. Additionally, I am proficient in providing routine pet care, such as bathing, blow-drying, nail trimming, expressing anal glands, and cleaning ears. Moreover, I know how to select suitable food for cats and dogs. In my former pet store, I regularly prepared nutritious meals for boarded pets. Through years of experience, I've learned that patience and genuine care are paramount in this profession. I am currently a college student studying equestrian-related disciplines at NTU. I have free time every weekend and am more than happy to assist those in need with taking care of their beloved pets at home. I will begin by inquiring about essential details regarding the pet, such as feeding amounts, dog-walking times, play durations, and litter box maintenance. Additionally, I'll attentively listen to the owner's specific requirements. Moreover, I offer complimentary basic health checks for the pets and can provide caregiving advice. After discussing the care plan, I will ensure to fulfill the agreed-upon needs as per our arrangement. I'm also open to sharing video updates of each care session with the owner.
