House Sitting Axbridge

“Lauren looked after our dog Teddy for a morning as he struggles with separation anxiety. We contacted Lauren and arranged a meet and greet and booked her in straight away! We knew from the meet and greet that she would be a perfect fit to look after Teddy, she is so lovely and made us feel completely at ease from the get go! We felt comfortable in her staying at our house and knew Teddy would be looked after☺️ we came home to a very happy boy and won’t hesitate in booking Lauren again!!”

“Having Tan at our house feels like an extended member of the family is here to look after our big man. She is so kind, gentle and attentive with him, and is also really comfortable with big dogs and loves them which is so apparent with how much she treats him like one of her own. I feel very grateful to have her, thank you for easing my worries so much Tan xxx”

“Natalie is amazing, can’t rate her high enough. She sent us regular photos & updates & walked Maffee daily. She also cleaned the house, stripped & washed all her bedding & even put it on line so it was all dry when we got home. We’ve used this site before but Natalie is absolutely the best. Thank you Natalie for looking after both Maffee & our home whilst we were away.”

“Maya was excellent, I was so lucky as Maya works at Bertie’s vets so already knew what a little diva he can be. So lucky that she was free to look after Bert, it’s a nicer experience for him to have people he knows come visit him! Thanks again Maya ❤️”

“Leaving Marley with Hayley was the best decision. We had a wonderful feeling about Hayley, and we were absolutely right. Hayley is a true animal lover with a lovely respect for our wishes. She was attentive and kind and took Marley on some great adventures. This is our first family dog and our first holiday, so this was all new territory for us. Hayley asked some great questions which showed she had a great insight into looking after dogs, which put us all at ease. She sent us lovely photos whilst we were away. And kept the house pristine. We hope to book plenty more adventures with Hayley for Marley in the future. And because he is so happy we don’t feel guilt for leaving him. Thanks Hayley!”

“Cherie was great, everything went smoothly and she sent us updates and pictures. Luna was very relaxed with her and the house was left tidy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cherie to anyone. We will and are using Cherie again.”

“Nina was the best. She came to house sit for the whole day. She had immediate rapport with Honey and sent photos through the day. Nina was attentive & reassuring so that i felt happy about giving responsibility over to her for my dog & house for the day. Honey was cared for really well. Highly recommended.”

“Lily has looked after Mollie twice and had a brilliant time! Lily is really animal focused and understood Mollie so well. They went on fun trips, had wonderful walks. I was also so delighted to find the apartment so clean and tidy on my return home. I would use Lily every time and recommend her whole heartedly.”

About: I have been working with animals since I have been 17 and I just love the way every dog is different and I enjoy going out with walks and feeding them every morning my own dogs have their own set routine in the morning I am currently not working at the moment so I have seven days a week to look after any other animals and any sort of animals I have worked in kennels before and had to stay there overnight to make sure all the animals were safe and fastened into that tense

“Very happy to have found Frank! He’s super reliable and a lovely guy. He looked after our two cats, Shrimp and Miffy, for a few days and managed to win them both over—especially impressive since Miffy usually takes a while to warm up to new people. He also took great care of the house while we were away and even watered my tomatoes. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi, I’m Leah I started offering pet care in June, and since then I’ve really enjoyed getting to know lots of lovely dogs and pets and gaining hands-on experience caring for them. While I’m still relatively new to professional pet care, I’m reliable, caring and take the responsibility of looking after someone’s pet very seriously. I grew up with and cared for my own English Bulldog, who was 10 years old when she sadly passed away last year. She was a huge part of my life and helped me realise just how much I love caring for animals. I’m fully insured, DBS checked and have completed a dog first aid course, so your pet’s safety and wellbeing is always really important to me. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their individual personality, routine and needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit or overnight care, I’ll always treat them with patience, kindness and plenty of attention. I’m also happy to send regular photo updates so you can see how they’re getting on while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and give them the care and attention they deserve! I currently work 26 hours a week over 4 days, so I have regular days and times available for pet care. I currently work: Tuesday 9:30-4 Wednesday 12-4 Thursday 8:45 - 5:30 Saturday 8:45-5:30 I’m happy to work around my schedule where possible and can offer walks, drop-in visits and overnight stays. I always make sure I only accept bookings that I can fully commit to, so your pet gets the time, attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in their own home, I always aim to keep them comfortable and maintain their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding times, walks, medication and any other specific needs your pet has. I understand that leaving your pet and home with someone new can feel daunting, so I’m respectful of your space and take their safety and wellbeing seriously. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well cared for.

“Maya so impressed us with her confident and conscientious approach to caring for wilf. She wasn't fussed at all about his potential for reactivity or his need for medication twice a day, and took this all in her stride. She cared for him impeccably and looked at old reviews to learn how much he loves to chase a ball and played with him. She took fantastic care of our home and left it absolutely spotless. We had lovely updates from her the entire time we were away. I can't recommend maya highly enough and would say she's definitely a level above some of the other care we have had on Rover. Will use her again for sure.”

About: Growing up in country Australia I have been surrounded by all kinds of dogs from rescue greyhounds, senior citizens, and puppies my whole life. I have have a pooch of my own (a double doodle named Ffyn) and would love to take special care of your K9 family. I am experienced in house sitting, walking, and drop ins. I currently own a doodle puppy who would love the company of another dog, young or old. I work from home part of the week and my partner works from home full time. We live in a cottage in the countryside with easy access to beautiful forest and field walks, and have a very comfortable sofa for your pooch to relax on after a nice walk. We have a fully fenced garden and outdoor area. The house with its thick stone walls stays lovely and cool in hot weather where the dogs love to relax inside.

About: Have no experience in pet sitting however I have worked in veterinary for 8 years and have a huge passion for animals. I have always wanted to delve into the pet sitting/walking world. I work full time at Axe Valley vets in Blackford. On weekdays I can offer my service around my work schedule. Weekends I can be very flexible. My whippets are my actual world and I would do absolutely anything for them. They love walks in the forest, runs on the beach and playing with their toys. I am always with my whippets and spend any spare time with them.

About: Ive taken care of my own dog (Yorkie) since I was 10, after that I’ve worked with dogs throughout collage and university. I’ve worked at a groomers, dog behaviouralist and at the vets as a student vet nurse. I can work with big and small dogs alike, with both nervous or ‚spicy’ personalities. I can walk dogs, train them, trim their nails, give them baths and brushed them out (but can’t clip or trim fur due to lack of equipment). I can administer topical, oral and injectable medications and know how to look after puppies, sick / injured, or geriatric dogs. I’m currently working part-time as a bartender (Friday and Saturday nights, and the occasional mid week night shift), so I’m available all week during the day, and most of the week over night. This may change once I find a full time position, however I’d be happy to continue services for regulars or on special occasions given prior notice. I prefer to go clients homes as that’s where the animals feel the safest, but if that’s not possible I’m able to bring animals to my home. I have a few house mates that you might cross paths with that don’t mind animals in the house. I have a big living room, which is where we’d spend most of the time (outside of walks and sleep) and I have a very small garden, however it’s too small to be comfortable long term. During nights, I’d bring the pets up to my room and either put them in a kennel if provided and requested by owner, or will allow them to sleep on my bed (if owner permits). While taking care of cats, they would be kept indoors at all times unless leashed walks are requested, and I’d require the owner to provide a harness, cage or kennel for transport and safety reasons. For pick ups and drop offs, I can only provide this if you are within walking or public transport distance and my main mode of transport is not suitable for pets.
