House Sitting Amble

About: I am a long-time cat owner and animal lover living in North East England. I am currently studying as a fine art student, but in my spare time I like to offer my services as a dedicated cat carer. I love cats for their independent and unpredictable personalities, as well as the truly unique love that they offer to the humans who care for them. I have owned cats since I was eight years old and currently have a little black moggy living with me.

“Lucy stayed at my home and looked after my two dogs while I went away. She was amazing and kept me updated on how things were going and answered messages quickly. I would definitely recommend Lucy to anyone. She is amazing. Thank you so much.”

About: Hello, I'm Vicky, owner of 2 cats, Owen & Ruby. They're brother and sister, one rules upstairs and the other downstairs! I’ve been around cats almost my whole life, from getting my first one at 12 years old and looking after neighbours' and family cats before then. I am currently on maternity leave & may need to bring my baby with me. If you have any questions, please ask!

“It was really reassuring to have Eva looking after Hamish at home while we enjoyed a day out. She kept us updated and took Hamish for a long walk. Everything was in perfect order when we got home.”

About: I love looking after dogs and am always the go to dog sitter out of all my friends. I have been a dog owner myself, and love caring for dogs. I love all animals, and I'm happy to do drop-ins for any type of animal - other than spiders, I'm terrified of them! I work full time from home so will have lots of availability to support during the week and I am around on some weekends too. I have a fenced garden that is very secure so the dogs will have lots of opportunity to go outside. Adult only home with no other animals.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats since I was a baby. Growing up my grandparents also owned parrots, bunnies, dogs of all sizes, cats, tortoises, fish, you name it…my parents always had dogs and cats. I also owned a dog for 11 years. I feel most comfortable around animals :) Being an older sister of 3, I grew up being the responsible one, caretaker and I’d also walk the dogs, train them, feed them and help my parents in any way I could. When I adopted my first own dog, I learned how much love I have to give and how much responsibility it takes to look after a furbaby. He was very anxious and reactive, so it was 11 years of learning and challenges, but he was the sweetest and goodest boy, right up until the end. I’m currently working full-time. For now I’m looking to combine my love for animals and building up a side income during my free time. I’m happy to look after and walk your pets during my free time on the weekends. I can drive which allows me to get to places a bit further out. I cannot have pets in my own home sadly. However, I’m happy to come in and check on your kitten or pooch while you’re away. I can also pet sit if needed and play with, feed and walk your dogs. I can also train and teach your dog (or cat, if they feel like it haha) some tricks. Work on their confidence by using gentle rewards and lots of patience on their walks. I have experience with reactive dogs and I know how important it is to maintain comfort and special care for the sensitive pups.

“When Louise came over to first meet buddy, he instantly warmed up to her, which is unusual as he can be quite nervous around new people. She kept me updated with how buddy was doing and helped to make the whole experience easy. I will definately be using her services again, and im sure buddy cant wait!”

“Tim was brilliant with Lily who can be difficult sometimes. She instantly took to him. His education and experience working with dogs is evident as he really knows his stuff. Tim came for a visit a few days before house sitting and instantly put me at ease and left me feeling confident that he was the right man to care for our dog and house. We came back to happy dog and a lovely clean house, even the bedding had been washed! I would highly recommend Tim to anybody looking for a dog sitter.”

“João is a wonderful sitter, you really couldn't find someone more perfect to watch your pet. Easy to communicate with, attentive (and patient!) with my naughty dog, kind and reliable.”

About: Always had dogs since I was a child. Always looked after friends and families dogs, cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs, chickens etc Currently have a 10 year old labradoodle, Tilly. She can stay home with my parents while I’m on visits/stays.

About: I have grown up rurally and have owned or cared for in the past cats, and looked after dogs. I have provided dog walking and company for elderly dogs. I currently don’t have pets and miss the company, so I have set up this new account. I’m looking forward to meeting your dog. :) I work from home flexibly. So any in home care for your pets I will be available all day every day during the week for company. I also walk three times a day and will be happy to adjust my routine to suit pets and personalise their care. I will be available for company all day for your pets. I do not drink alcohol and am a quiet person spending time at home, or in nature. Your pet will have a relaxed time with me with a lot of attention.

About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs since I was a young child. I grew up with collies, lab and staffie mixes, and rescue cats. I currently have a very dog friendly cat if you are looking for some socialisation, but she is equally happy doing her own thing if you would prefer they remain separate. I work from home with access to a secure garden, and woodland walks only a couple of minutes from my house. I'm available all days, evenings and weekends with notice. I have a pet cat who is friendly with dogs, however she has her own secure room in the house where she can retreat to if she needs to. I have a fenced garden and a dog-friendly cat, however she can be secured away in a different part of the house if necessary. I have a crate that can be used if necessary. I drive and I am located within easy reach of several 24 hour veterinary practices.

“Absolutely amazing! They did such a good job of looking after Woody, we got updates daily, pictures down to the littlest detail of how he was doing! We were able to meet them a few days beforehand so they could meet our pup and he could be introduced, and we couldn’t be happier! 10/10, I’d definitely recommend them and book again!”
