House Sitting Ashwell

“Eleanor was amazing start to finish and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of Cody. She looked after him in the hot weather, walking him super early when it was cooler which we really appreciated, and kept us updated the whole time with photos and what he’d been up to. We won’t hesitate to book Eleanor in again for future house sits”

“Jessie-Lyn stayed at our house for a week to look after our 2 cats. We have 2 cats that hate each other and must be kept apart both inside and out, so it was no easy task for her, especially with one cat that doesnt like strangers. She has done an amazing job. Both cats were well fed, looked after and indeed kept apart. The house was also absolutely spotless when we got back Would definitely use Jessie-Lyn again and would also recommend her to others”

“Fleur is a very calm, confident dog sitter who took note of our many requirements but clearly focused on the dog and made sure she was well looked after and happy. She had Rosie all day and we came home to a relaxed, settled dog. Would recommend!”

Mirjam D.

“Absolutely fabulous! Holly looked after Milo in our home for a week, and we simply cannot fault her. We received daily updates, the house was left exactly as she’d found it, and, above all else, Milo was happy and clearly very well cared for. Holly really is a lovely person, and you couldn’t ask for a better or more considerate pet sitter. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.”

“Kelsey was an excellent sitter, she sent me regular updates and pictures and did exactly what I asked. I felt completely at ease leaving my girl with her for the evening. I’d definitely recommend her and would use her for sitting again if she wanted to 😊”

“Darcy was great with Luna and helped us out very last minute. Kept me updated and was very trustworthy. Thanks again!”

Joe H.

“Megan and her mum helped us out in a really tight spot, by agreeing to sit at very short notice. Came round early so we had chance to meet and do intoductions. Clearly very good with dogs and our dog was more than happy to play and stay with them. Thank you!”

Nicola M.

“Ffion is great! Obi goes nuts with excitement when Ffion comes round to look after him. Ffion provides great updates and we feel 100% at ease knowing obi is in such great care.”

About: I had dogs all through my childhood, which meant taking care of them, feeding them, going for walks, playing, and managing vet visits. Because of this, I've looked after everything from newborn puppies to senior dogs, and I've often helped look after friends' dogs when they needed it. Because I am not currently working, I have a very flexible schedule and am available almost every day of the week to spend time with your cat! My primary availability is during the weekdays, but I can occasionally free up my weekends if you need me. I exclusively offer pet sitting in your home, as my current living situation isn't suitable for animals. Plus, I believe pets are much happier and less stressed when they can stay in their own familiar space! I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and tailoring my care to their unique needs. Since I will be caring for your pet in their own home, our day together will look exactly how they want it to! If they are high-energy, I am more than happy to spend the day playing and keeping them thoroughly entertained. If they have a more relaxed personality, I am equally happy to just provide quiet, peaceful company and gentle affection. It's all about what makes your pet friend feel comfortable.

“Julie took wonderful care of my two spoiled dogs and looked after our home like it was her own, even surprising me with some beautiful tulips for our return. I certainly recommend her and hope Julie comes to watch over our dogs again soon. Truly professional.”

“Isabelle is lovely, and so enthusiastic about dogs. Willow was comfortable with her from minute one and I would not hesitate to recommend Isabelle to others. I will definitely be using her again.”

Stuart M.

“Alice was brilliant with my three very different dogs, one of whom has mobility issues. Alice was calm, kind and very reliable and the dogs enjoyed their day with her. They are looking forward to her next visit!”

About: I'm a remote worker with a flexible schedule, which means I can commit properly to house sits. There's no rushing back and forth, and no leaving pets alone for long stretches. Since I work from wherever I am, your home and animals get consistent company and attention throughout the day. I grew up around animals of all kinds, including dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and more, so caring for pets isn't new to me, it's second nature. On the dog side specifically, I've got hands on experience across the full size spectrum, from sausage dogs to Great Danes, so whether you've got a lap sized companion or a gentle giant, I know how to look after them properly, from exercise needs to feeding routines and everything in between. I have my own car, so I'm happy to travel to sits further afield, handle vet runs or emergencies if needed. I also offer cleaning as an additional service ahead of your arrival home. I'm happy to provide references on request. I'm an active person, so pet care fits naturally into my day. I like to start with a walk before my working day begins, then fit in another towards the end of the day, adjusting timing and length depending on each pet's exercise needs. Throughout the working day itself, since I'm remote, pets have company and I'm on hand for feeding, playtime, or anything else that comes up. Whether I'm in a pet owner's home or my own, my priority is keeping to the animal's normal routine as closely as possible. Changes in environment can be unsettling for pets, so I make a point of sticking to their usual feeding times, walk schedule, and any habits they're used to, rather than imposing my own. Before a sit, I like to go through everything with the owner: feeding amounts, any medication, behavioural quirks, vet details, and emergency contacts, so I'm fully prepared and know exactly what to do if something unexpected comes up. I treat the home with the same care and respect I'd want shown to my own, keeping it secure, tidy, and exactly as I found it. I'm happy to send regular updates and photos during a sit, so owners have peace of mind while they're away. And since I have my own car, I can get to a vet quickly if there's ever an emergency.

“We can't thank Isabelle enough for her commitment and time whilst she looked after our pooch. She was incredibly helpful and put our minds at ease whilst we were off getting married. A very friendly and caring person, who was a delight to communicate with, when it came to our dog, she showed immense care about his routines. 100% recommended to any new Rover members in the area, who have a nervous dog like ours.”

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I spent many years living with grandparents, who had dogs, so I become very comfortable around dogs from a young age and developed a real understanding of how much love, attention and care they need. My mum also has a Rottweiler, which has given me even more experience around dogs, and helped me understand that every dog has their own personality, needs and routine. I'm also a cat owner myself. I have a 4-year-old troublemaker who I absolutely adore. I love animals in general and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I also understand how difficult it can be to go away on holiday or be apart from your pet while on holiday. I would love the opportunity to get to know your pet and give them plenty of love, attention and care while you are away. I work full-time, from 6am-2.30 pm, which means my afternoons are free for pet visits. On my days off, I'm also available for multiple check-ins throughout the day, depending on what your pet needs. I have my own car, so I'm happy to travel to your home and can reach areas that may be more difficult to get to by public transport. I understand that welcoming someone into your home to care for your pet requires trust. I will always treat your home with the same respect and care as I would my own, following any instructions and routines you leave for me. Your pet's safety and wellbeing are my priority. I'll make sure doors, gates and windows are secure, keep their food and water fresh, and give them the attention and care they need. I'm also happy to send regular updates and photos, so you can feel reassured that your pet is happy and well looked after while you are away.

“Sonia was amazing with our little Oscar! Not only taking extreme good care of our old boy, but also sending us little videos with updates regularly! We know Oscar was very well looked after and loved the cuddles with Sonia! Thank you so much xx”

“Emily did a great job of looking after our high-energy Springador, Loki! She was incredibly patient with him, re-assuring is with updates and pictures at regular intervals throughout his 3-night stay!”

Rebecca E.

“Elena did an absolute wonderful job with my dog, Hugo, who, at 17, has early dementia , and separation anxiety. He is a loving sweet dog, but needed huge amounts of care from the point of view of reassurance, almost 27/7! Elena even prepared him porridge for breakfast (as he’d been used to), and fresh chicken as she felt he was sick on his tinned food! Prior to the stay she even took time to meet Hugo. There were regular updates throughout the stay, and although Hugo provided to need rather more care then we had hoped , Elena kept looking out for him, putting Hugo’s needs 1st. She is a gem of a find!”

“Chloe took care of Mike for a full day, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. She was punctual, incredibly flexible with timings, and kept great communication throughout the day. When I got home, it was clear how much Mike enjoyed his time with her. I highly recommend Chloe and will definitely be booking her again!”

“Shannon was absolutely amazing with my 2 chows. I felt really comfortable with her looking after them. Roko and Mango had a great time! She kept me updated and I would hesitate to rebook Shannon!”
