House Sitting in Amber Valley

“I really can't praise Julia high enough for the excellent care she showed my ageing fur baby. Julia sent me regular updates and photos. Nothing was too much trouble. She was happy to administer medication and work with my dog's needs. Benji really warmed to Julia, and I would strongly recommend her to house sit and care for your pets. I will definitely be booking Julia in the future.”

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. **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.

“Geraldine was great. She was really well prepared on our meet & greet call. She took great care of Biscuit. We recommend Geraldine.”

About: What sets me apart is that I’m home full-time as I am on maternity leave, so your pets will get plenty of attention, company and care throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I have a 10-year-old sprocker spaniel of my own and have owned several cats in my life, I also have 2 rabbits so it’s safe to say I’m an animal lover! I’m very experienced with caring for pets and understand how important it is for them to feel comfortable, safe and loved while you’re away. I’m a genuine animal lover and adore both dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. Whether your baby loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calm, relaxed environment, I’m happy to adapt to their needs and routine. I’m especially patient with older pets and understand the extra care and attention senior dogs can sometimes need. I’ll always treat your pets like part of the family and make sure they get lots of love, cuddles, attention and updates while they’re in my care. I’m currently on maternity leave, so pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine and means I’m home most of the day. I have flexible availability throughout the week and can give pets lots of attention, company, walks and playtime. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. I live in a house with a secure gated garden backing onto fields, so there’s plenty of safe outdoor space and lovely walks nearby. I have a baby, a friendly 10-year-old sprocker spaniel and two rabbits, so caring for animals is a big part of everyday life for me. I understand every pet is different and I’m happy to adapt to their needs, whether that’s sticking to routines, administering basic care, or giving them extra attention and reassurance.

“Clare took excellent care of Winston and Lucy, they were very happy when I got back! The dogs instantly loved her when they met during the meet and greet. She also was very communicative and kind when we had some scheduling issues and had to adjust our plans. She left the house clean and tidy. I would definitely book her again in the future.”

About: I've had my little border terrier, Derek, since he was a puppy and he's now 3-years-old! He's the most loving, little guy on earth and is keen for friends to play with! Before him, I took care of the family dog, Alfie, who was a lot more chilled out and grumpy, but still full of love! I'm an experienced dog owner who's loved animals my entire life. I will give your bundle of joy all the care and attention they need! I work from home and have plenty of time to take care of your doggo. Weekdays are best for me but may be available for weekends too. I have a fenced garden, as well as Derek who is keen to make furry friends!

About: Hello! I’m Brigid. I’m currently having a break from work, but can’t pull myself away totally, so am offering some pet sitting and dog walking hours. By nature of the job, I’m an all animals type of person, but have a particular soft spot for the kitties. Please note that whilst I am a fully qualified vet, I will not provide any veterinary work, perform any clinical exams, or give any veterinary advice. For me to do the aforementioned is neither legal nor ethical. What I can offer is peace of mind for you if you have a pet with a medical condition and needs specific treatment administering, eg diabetics requiring injections, or pets with dry eye. My day to day work is keeping animals happy and healthy, detecting potential medical problems, and administering medications. I do sadly have lots of experience performing CPR in emergency situations, and am full capable of performing first aid in order to get your pet to their registered vet. If I decide your pet ever needs to be seen by their registered veterinarian, I will contact you immediately. I will be available most days, including the Christmas period and weekends. I’m an active walker regardless, and have lots of routes I can take your little one on with me. All whilst taking care of my own cat, Witchwitton! I currently cannot look after pets within my own home. All pet sits would need to occur within your home, but I am open to visiting multiple times a day or staying longer hours.

About: I’ve had pet dogs and cats my whole life so I have plenty of experience caring for all kinds of animals with differing temperaments. I am also a final year vet student so I meet many dogs and cats on a regular basis. My schedule is very flexible at the moment. I have just finished uni and have a job lined up in August but until then I am free most of the time! I am honest and trustworthy so please don’t worry about me entering your home. I have a lot of respect for your space and I will look after it.

“Exceptional service, really wouldn’t have trusted anybody else to come into my home and take over the care of my 2 Dalmatians. Beth is calm, experienced and exceptionally knowledgeable in her line of Veterinary nursing. You can see instantly that she loves animals and they love her back. She gave medication, fed and entertained them and they were happy and relaxed on returning home. Such a difference from leaving them in kennels!”

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.

“Absolutely amazing service at such short notice. Definitely recommend. Thank you again xx”

“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. :)”
