House Sitting Ashfield

“Susan was a fantastic sitter. She was trustworthy and reliable. We met and chatted before and during the booking. Susan sent us regular videos and updates… which helped us to feel so assured when we were away. Or cat Maeve was relaxed and calm on our return- clearly, she was really well cared for by Susan. We certainly hope to re-book with Susan.”

“Beth was fantastic throughout, extremely friendly and professional. She came to meet our doggos during the week before and did a great job on the day including walks and feeding them. Thank you!”

About: With 5 years of experience caring for dogs of my own, including 30 hours of work experience in dog kennels training puppies, I have a lifelong dedication and deep understanding of canine needs. My part-time schedule is flexible, and I'll always keep you updated weekly so it suits your needs. Just let me know in advance, and I'll ensure I'm ready to care for your furry friends! I prioritize your pet's safety and well-being, ensuring a trustworthy environment. I'll meticulously follow feeding and potty schedules, provide constant supervision outdoors, and always listen to their unique needs, showing how much I truly care for your fur baby’s.

About: I’ve and a number of different animals throughout my entire life all with different personalities and different needs. Ive had multiple experiences in looking after animals, e.g dog walking, doggy daycare, grooming, cat fostering, wildlife rehab and a vets (work experience). I also have a level 3 in animal management and working on my level 3 dog grooming :) Im currently doing 2 days a week at a grooming shop so any other day I would be free to look after your pets with undivided attention and adhering to their needs. I have a fenced of large garden and 3 playful, friendly dogs. I can easily separate if needed as I have the space and can crate dogs if needed as I have 2.

“Isla looked after my dog and house this weekend and did a fantastic job. She took great care of my dog, making sure he was well looked after, exercised, and settled while I was away. When I came back, the house was also spotless and exactly how I left it, which I really appreciated. It was clear she is reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Isla to anyone looking for someone dependable to care for their pets and home.”

“Neal was fantastic with Chester! His initial pre-meet went really well and put my mind at ease straight away. He was punctual, left the house spotless, and maintained great communication throughout the stay. Chester can be a bit difficult on walks, so it was amazing to see photos and updates of him out and about, happy and well-managed. Highly recommended”

About: I grew up with four dogs on a farm, since then I have had 1 dog in the city. I am used to looking after and walking multiple dogs of all sizes. Most recently I have looked after three dachshunds for ten nights. I am available for house sitting all throughout the week. I am available for dog walks in Mansfield and Mansfield Woodhouse all days of the week. I can adapt to pets as you and they require. Generally I would stay in the same room as them throughout the day, walk as often as needed, regularly let them outside, and give lots of cuddles if the pet wants. I have experience adminstering medication to elderly pets.

“Katrin is amazing! She is so friendly and understanding when it comes to my nervous cockapoo Daisy. She puts my mind to ease as I have never left Daisy with anyone before . Although Daisy is nervous of new people she warmed up to Katrin very fast. Cannot recommend enough! Will be booking Katrina whenever I need a dog sitter for Daisy :)”

About: What sets me apart is my understanding of animal psychology. I can read the body language of both cats and dogs, adjusting my care to their individual needs. Whether your cat is shy, playful, or your dog requires special attention, I tailor my approach to create a calm and safe environment where your pets feel comfortable while you're away I’m available all weekend, so I’d be happy to take care of them during that time but if someone really needs me I am available during the week as well. I prioritize your pet's safety, trust, and comfort by maintaining a secure and familiar environment in your home. I follow any specific instructions you provide to ensure your pet feels at ease. I ensure their space is clean, safe, and stimulating, and I make sure to maintain routines they’re used to. Whether it’s feeding, playing, or simply keeping them company, I provide the same level of care and attention as if they were my own.

“I can’t thank Chloe enough for looking after Phoebe, Bean and Ralphie. We have had a few days in york and she has been fab! I can see how much they have been loved and looked after,Bean can be quite stressed out by change, she has obviously had a great time with Chloe not an ounce of stress in her. They have obviously loved Chloe. I would highly recommend her to look after your pets, and I will be definately asking her to look after my fur babies again, communication was great and so were the pictures, thank you . Chloe you are amazing! Lorraine and Charles”

About: I have babysat dogs since I was 13 it is my dream job and I hope to make a business one day, I love animals and It makes me so happy and gives me joy in the life doing something I love with the best and most loving animals. I do love my walks too I go very far in some beautiful places and atmospheres I love to give dogs the lovely experience on or off the lead. I also am a freelance photographer on the side of babysitting animals and serving pints, so if you ever want any photos, free of charge let me know and I will take some beautiful photos of your pets, if not that is totally fine, just an extra free service on the side for my portfolio and you can get some free lovely photos of your pets. Babysitting cats does fit really well into my schedule since I do work at a pub too but I do babysitting on the side so I don’t do as many shifts anymore. If you have a cat that is independent that doesn’t like interacting that is lovely and if you have one that loves cuddles and some love that is also perfect so either way I will always make time for them even if I’m at work. I care for pets in anyway the owner wants me to, I follow the rules and requirements any owner has, some cats like to be left alone and not interact and if I that’s the case I will give them the space they need but also try and make them comfortable around me. If a cat wants a lot of attention I will reciprocate that back to them and give them as much love as I can, I will spend time with them and make sure they get fed and they are taken care of as many times as the owner requires me to do.

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

“Amanda is very professional in her approach and clearly shows a very caring attitude for the pets she looked after. She took great care of Bobby today, thank you.”

“We've used Jessica a few times, she has never disappointed and on this occasion came to sit my puppy Willow on a last minute request. She sends regular photo updates and is great at letting Willow lead (ie. If she wants interaction or not as she is still young & shy with new people).”

Charlotte S.

“Jazmin was absolutely amazing. Our dog daisy loved her. We got regular photos and updates whilst we were on holiday. We'll definitely use her services again and would highly recommend.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was very young, and I've always been the one caring for them. I have hands-on experience with Labrador Retrievers, American Bulldogs, and French Bulldogs. I’m quite skilled at exercising them through long walks or playing with them at home. They do not need to be crate trained, as I have worked with both options. I can assist with command training if needed, or, if they are young, I can maintain consistency in their training. I can also pick them up and drop them off in my car. I have a dog collar seatbelt for safety. Happy to discuss any flexibility needed or adjust the pet car to suit your requirements. I work from home on Fridays and Mondays, and I am very likely to work from home on weekends. This allows me to pet-sit full-time from Friday to Monday. I have a very flexible job, so I could probably organise extra weekdays if needed, given some notice. I have fostered dogs and cats before while they waited to be re-homed. I also drive, so I am quite flexible regarding location and can visit the pet’s owner's home. I will follow their routines and care needs depending on the pet. I live in a two-bedroom house with a good kitchen and living room. I go for walks quite often, so exercise wouldn’t be a problem, and I also have a fenced backyard of around 10m x 5m. If I'm caring for the pet at the owner’s house, I will adhere to their rules and continue with their daily routine. I also drive, so I am quite flexible with locations, whether going to the pet owner's home or taking them to bigger parks. I would send the owners daily updates in the form of videos and photos, depending on their preferences. I am quite flexible and able to adapt to different routines.

About: We’ve both grown up around dogs and they’ve always been a big part of our lives. My partner has had dogs for his whole life for around 25 years, from big dogs to small ones, so caring for dogs is something that’s always come naturally to him. We currently have our 13 year-old rescue Staffy, who my partner adopted when she was just two. Having a rescue dog has really shown us how important patience, trust and taking the time to understand a dog can be. We know that leaving your dog with someone else can be difficult, especially when they’re used to their own home and routine. That’s why we’d be looking after your dog in their own home, where they can stay comfortable and settled while you’re away. We’ll keep to their normal routine as much as possible and give them plenty of walks, attention, cuddles and company. It’ll be both of us looking after your dog, so they’ll have two people around who genuinely love dogs and will treat them as if they were our own. We’ll take the time to get to know them, their personality and what they’re comfortable with, rather than expecting every dog to be the same. For us, it’s really about making sure you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy and being well looked after at home. I work from 8-4:30pm in the week and I drive, so I can easily travel to your home to support your dog’s needs as required. I don’t offer boarding, but I provide reliable home visits for feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship — allowing your dog to stay comfortable and relaxed in their own familiar environment. I have a fenced garden, so they have space to play and feel comfortable, knowing that they cannot get out or escape so you can feel reassured knowing this.

“Ella was really good when she looked after my 4 month lab puppy! She gave him lot of love and attention and provided updates throughout the day! She also left my house very clean and tidy which was above and beyond! She really helped me out and have booked again with her. My puppy was tired for the rest of the day after lots of play and attention!”
