House Sitting Appleton

“Cannot recommend Anna enough. This was the first time I've ever had to leave my dogs with someone who wasn't family so naturally I was a bit anxious. From the initial meet and greet it was clear how caring Anna was going to be, she came armed with suitable questions to ensure she was going to give my dogs the VIP treatment. The updates whilst I was away were perfect and lots of gorgeous pictures of my babies! Will defo be thinking of Anna first if I need to leave them again.”

“Laura did a fantastic job of looking after our dog. She cared about getting the details right and making sure that our pet was happy and well taken care of. She gave us the utmost confidence that we had nothing to worry about, sent photos and updates while we were away, and we found the house just as we had left it. You'd be hard pushed to find a more trustworthy sitter. Thank you Laura!”

About: I helped raise Alfie, a Cockapoo, for two years with my ex, which gave me valuable hands-on experience in caring for and training a dog from a young age. I also regularly look after my boss’s Cockapoo, Lottie, and have cared for several friends’ dogs and cats while they’ve been on holiday — most recently Sandy the Cavapoo and Lucy the Cocker Spaniel. And Coco the cat. I’m confident when it comes to looking after dogs and ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I love going on long walks, but also cuddling up on the sofa and relaxing. I work Monday to Friday in an office. Dogs are allowed into the office with me. I have weekends completely free. I enjoy walking and running. I have a decent sized garden with a gate and it is fenced off. My home is cosy and warm and welcome to all dogs. Hopefully lots of cuddles on the sofa!

“We booked Gill for a house sitting for our 2 babies while we had a holiday away from them to recharge. Gill updated us every single day with photos of our babies. It was really reassuring and we could enjoy our holiday. Gill even cleaned our house, it was a big relief we didn't have to do it on arrival. Highly recommend her and definitely will use her again. Thanks 👍🙏”

About: Hello, I'm Amber. I have owned cats all my life. I currently have a tabby cat, aged 13.And two Burmese indoor cats aged 4 and 1. We also have a new ginger kitten. I adore all animals and love playing with my cats. They all have individual personalities, that make them unique. I'm currently unemployed but sometimes go out in the days I'll be able to fit all the animals into my schedule day and night so I'll always be there to care for them I'll always ask for steps if you have any requirements while I'm there as I would want your pet to keep there routine that they already have and I'll stick to there schedule that they may follow day to day.

About: Having had dogs all my life I am most content snuggled up on the couch with my fur baby! I used to work away a lot and know how hard it can be to find a stable caring environment to leave your fur baby with. I offer a home from home environment for your beloved pet and guarantee lots of walks and cuddles! My own dog Tilly loves company and would be a great companion during your fur baby’s stay! I provide all the home comforts to ensure your pet doesn’t get too home sick!! I have been looking after dogs all my life and love nothing better than walking down the transpennine way which is situated at the bottom of my road. I offer over night boarding for as short or as long as is needed Monday to Sunday.

About: This summer, I completed two house sits in the UK, one for 3 weeks and another for 5 weeks, caring for dogs throughout their stay. I also have experience dog walking for people during my time in the US.i Additionally I grew up with a Great Pyrenees as well as smaller dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. Currently, I only work evenings, and I have the flexibility to choose my own hours. I also run an online startup and do food deliveries by bike around lunchtime. Because of this, I’m hoping to do most of my pet care in the mornings. However, both of my other occupations are very flexible, so I can easily work around anyone’s needs and schedule! I think it’s really important to understand each dog’s individual routine, personality and personal space, especially when caring for them in their own home. I always take the time to understand their usual schedule, including walks, meals, playtime and rest. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection and care, while also respecting their space when they need some quiet time. Most importantly, I want every dog to feel safe, comfortable and completely at ease while their owner is away.

“We couldn't have asked for a better house-sitter than Jordan. When he came to meet us and our dog, he was so polite and friendly, and clearly wanted to know all about her needs and routines. He provided lots of photos and updates throughout the time we were away. We got home to a very happy dog and a very clean and tidy house. He was extremely respectful of our home and attentive to our pet. We'd definitely ask Jordan to come and stay again! Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve looked after my neighbours dog and friends pets when they are away for holidays for a day or a week at a time I’m currently travelling back from America after being in USA for 4 months but when I get back I would love to just be around animals all the time. My home is as safe as it gets, my garden is all fenced up with a locked back door gate at all times. I also have a dog of my own but he is well trained and he loves to be around other dogs

“We had the absolute pleasure of having Amber stay in our home to look after our two dogs while we were away. From the very start, she was kind, reliable, and professional, and we felt completely at ease leaving our dogs (and our home) in her care. Amber went above and beyond – keeping us updated, giving our dogs so much love and attention, and making sure everything at home ran smoothly while we were gone. I could tell straight away that our dogs adored her, and it gave us such peace of mind to know they were so well cared for. Coming home, our dogs were happy and relaxed, and the house was spotless – it was like we’d never been away! We would not hesitate to recommend Amber to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dedicated sitter. We feel so lucky to have found her and will definitely be booking her again! ☺️ Thank you Amber! 😁🐾♥️”

“Thank you for taking such great care of Olly. This was a last-minute booking, and we really appreciated how accommodating and helpful you were. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Olly was in good hands. Olly seemed happy and well looked after when we got back. We’ll definitely be using Karys again and would happily recommend her to others. Once again thank you so much!”

“Charlotte stayed at ours for a week while we were on holiday. She was brilliant in terms of her preparation ahead of coming to stay. She was in regular contact to make sure she had all of the information she needed - she was very thorough and professional in her approach. Whilst we were away we received regular updates on how everyone was doing which was hugely reassuring. Our dogs seemed very happy, relaxed and well cared for and Charlotte was very helpful with watering our plants and the house was well looked after too. Charlotte is very friendly, trustworthy and I would not hesitate to recommend her.”

“Nat looked after our working cocker spaniel and Maltipoo for 2 nights recently. Nat kept us updated with assurances and photos and the dogs were clearly well looked after. She even left us some treats for when we returned which went down well. Thanks Nat - we will definitely be seeing you again in the future x”

“Sophia was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. She stayed in our home for a couple of days to look after our dog, Albus, while we were away getting married, and knowing he was in such good hands meant we could completely relax and enjoy our wedding without worrying. When we came home, Albus was so happy and content, he actually spent time looking around the house for Sophia after she'd left! It was clear he'd been incredibly well cared for and had formed a lovely bond with her. On top of that, the house was spotless. In fact, it somehow looked even cleaner than when we left it. Sophia treated our home with genuine care and respect, and the whole experience was completely hassle free. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sophia to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring and conscientious pet sitter. We'll definitely be booking her again, and we're already hoping she's available for a couple of weddings we have planned next year. Thank you again, Sophia, you were amazing!”

About: Hi I love animals and for the last twenty years I have had the pleasure of sharing my life with cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, bearded dragons, and fish. I have two rescue Greyhounds and have been volunteering for the Greyhound Trust and Home Run Hounds for 6 years. Prior to that I have volunteered for the RSPCA. I am currently completing an online course in dog behaviour and welfare. I have been a nurse for 30 years now working 9-5 Monday to Friday but with flexibility and my dream is to eventually work full time with animals. I'm currently working full time Monday - Friday (9-5) but there is plenty of time to help with animal care early morning, after 5pm and weekends. I volunteer at dog kennels 8-10.30am on Saturdays. I would not see fitting in animal care as a chore but instead a priveladge. Who doesn't love animal cuddles, obviously on their terms 🙂 My hope is to reduce my 9-5 nursing role and build up my animal care role. I have two rescue Greyhounds, one who is anxious and we are working on her reactivity which is through fear so at this time I am not offering home boarding however I am happy to come to you. Just let me know your routine and requirements and I will respect and work with you.

“I can honestly say Victoria has been the best thing for our pets that we could have hoped for! Our German Shepherd is very needy and anxious when left. He lost 6 kilos in weight and didn't eat and sleep the last time we went on holiday. This time my husband actually wanted to cancel the holiday, but we were lucky enough to find Victoria, and have come home from to 2 very happy and relaxed pets. Our cat seemed to have carried on like we had been there all the time, and our GS is relaxed, happy and eating and sleeping as normal; in fact dare I say it, MORE than usual! Victoria kept in touch and kept us updated throughout our holiday, is lovely, experienced and personable, and we would have no hesitation in rebooking her or recommending her services. We feel extremely lucky to have found her through Rover. Thank you Victoria for looking after our pets so well. Sonia, Gray, Samson and Milo 🐾💕”

About: Hi, I'm Roxanna! 🐾 I've been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old, and they've always been a huge part of my life. Over the years I've looked after dogs of all ages, breeds and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience, care and attention. For your peace of mind, I am *DBS checked* and *Canine First Aid trained*, so your dog's safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. I specialise in solo dog walks, meaning your dog receives my full attention on every walk without the distractions or stress of group walks. This allows me to tailor each walk to your dog's individual needs, pace and personality, ensuring they have a safe, enjoyable and enriching experience. I offer a reliable, caring and personalised service to help local families enjoy date nights, holidays or simply have peace of mind when work commitments mean they're away for longer than usual. Services I offer: 🐕 Solo Dog Walking 🏡 Dog Sitting (maximum one overnight stay) 🏠 Daily Home Check-ins Whether your dog is a playful puppy learning the ropes, an active adult, or an elderly companion needing a slower pace and extra care, I'll treat them as if they were my own. I take the time to build trust with every dog and always provide plenty of love, attention and care. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe and in caring hands. I can't wait to meet you and your four-legged best friend! I’m currently working part time as an assistant in a primary school. I fit my appointments in around my commitments. I currently dog sit one Saturday evening every month and carry out dog walking appointments during the day in the week. I take care of your dogs in your home. I offer an initial meet and greet appointment where I get to know you, your pup and your home. This is a great opportunity for you to give me details on your pups routine, what they do and don’t like, toilet and feeding information etc. I’m only a text or phone call away if you need to communicate and new information.

“Georgia did a great job of looking after our retriever Neville. He can be a sensitive soul and she took extra care to keep him comfortable during some thunderstorms. She kept us updated throughout the stay and we could see he was happy and well cared for. It was our first time using a sitter in our own home which gave us peace of mind knowing Nev would be more settled at home and Georgia and Matty left our house spotless. I’m sure Nev is looking forward to the next stay! Thanks so much 🐾”
