House Sitting in Babergh

“Martin was very friendly and easy to make arrangements with. We had regular updates while we were away just saying everything was okay. Martin left the house immaculate and the dogs seemed very calm. We were extremely happy with the whole experience.”

“Hannah stayed with my boy Kodak (big Cane Corso) and cat Leo for 10 days whilst my partner and I were away on holiday. I had never left them for that long and I was quite nervous. Also, my Kodak had sore paws (a rash that he licked sores open) Hannah was fantastic. She listened to me on how Leo and Kodak were to be looked after, which was followed. Hannah sent me pictures everyday of both Leo and Kodak and kept me updated on what they were doing. It was lovely to get all the updates as we were missing them. Hannah is very trustworthy - I left her my credit card in case Kodak needed the vet (for his paws) and Hannah did not use it and it remained in the place I left it. When we got home, Kodak and Leo both looked well (Kodak’s paws were much better with Hannah caring for them daily), good weight on them still, character was still good - I was very happy with how Hannah looked after them for this long time. We are very grateful to you Hannah and will definitely be rebooking when we go away in December. Thanks again Hannah. X”

“Absolutely BRILLIANT! Dash is a very sensitive dog but he settled incredibly quickly. He had a lovely time with Amanda, went on some adventures and really enjoyed his stay!”

“I can't give high enough praise for Charlotte, our two dogs have been spoiled rotten. She's shared updates and photos. Our house is absolutely spotless. If walking our two idiots hasn't put her off I'd like to book her for the next five year's worth of holidays.”

“Karen was great. Our two dogs really loved her and they don’t get on with everyone. She was a great calming energy for them and we really would recommend her. She took everything in her stride and dealt with it all.”

“You should not hesitate to book Cat to care for your dog. She really goes above and beyond. Cat is the first person I have ever employed to look after my dog overnight and I was so nervous about leaving him. I could instantly tell she has everything under control and I was really able to enjoy my night away! Her great understanding of dog behaviour meant that she was not put off by my dogs history of reactivity to some other dogs. 5 star all round.”

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have gained some great experience over the years. I’ve worked with trained search dogs, which taught me a lot about understanding different behaviours and building trust. I also volunteer at a local rehoming centre, helping care for dogs with all kinds of personalities. At home, I have two lively cocker spaniels who keep me on my toes and remind me how important it is to give each pet the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I really enjoy making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well looked after I work part-time from home with a flexible shift pattern, so it’s easy for me to fit pet care around my schedule. I make sure any bookings get my full attention, and I love having animals as part of my daily routine. I offer drop-in visits to make sure pets are happy and well looked after in their own home. I’ll follow their normal routine — whether that’s feeding, topping up water, letting them out for a toilet break, or just giving them some company and attention. I always aim to keep things calm and reassuring, especially if a pet is shy or nervous. Every visit is tailored to what your pet needs to feel safe and settled while you’re away.

“Jasmine looked after Marnie for us for a week while on holiday, got some lovely photos of Marnie while away and always looked happy in them, when we got back to the house was kept clean, Marnie seemed very happy when we got home, would book Jasmine again x”

About: I’m a lifelong pet lover and proud owner of a 10-year-old pug, so I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for senior dogs and understanding their unique needs. I’m comfortable providing calm companionship, maintaining routines, and giving extra love to pets who need a gentler touch. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or prefers naps and cuddles, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I currently work from home and I have weekends available for your pet to come and stay with me and my Pug Pixie. I’m happy to discuss your requirements. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I live in a quiet maisonette with access to a secure garden, perfect for fresh air, toilet breaks, and supervised outdoor time. The space is calm, clean, and pet-friendly ideal for dogs who enjoy a relaxed, home-style environment rather than a busy or crowded setting.

“We asked Skye to look after our dog who we haven’t had long or left yet and is very nervous, Skye was great and knew exactly how to take care of him. She was very lovely and reliable and would definitely ask her to sit again⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: Hi there! - I previously ran my own dog walking business for over a year. No dog breed is too big or too small! Thank you to all my lovely previous clients who have left testimonials!! - I work in a veterinary practice as an animal care assistant, and am studying to become a veterinary nurse! - I own nine pets myself, and know how important it is to know they are in the safe hands of a sitter/walker that you can trust! At the moment, I work and study part time. I am currently only available on weekends and Wednesdays, but my availability is expected to expand! I am happy to hear all about your beloved pet and all their wonderful quirks! All pets need different safety accommodations, so I welcome the opportunity to chat with you about what will work best for your animal!

About: I am an enthusiastic and energetic person who enjoys meeting new furry friends. I am responsible, and have the ability to be flexible with my schedule. I have extensive experience with pet care including the care of rescue animals.

About: I grew up surrounded by animals including guinea pigs, budgies, dogs and even a hamster! One year ago I adopted my rescue dog from Romania, Lillah. When we first adopted her she was incredibly nervous on walks. Overtime, through kindness, patience and dedication, I slowly built her confidence with walks and socialisation- now she can't wait to get her lead on!

I have a very flexible schedule weekdays and weekends. I am especially free during school holiday periods. For pets in my home I ensure my home is neat, tidy and any objects or toxic hazards are stored away and out of reach. At pet owners homes i will discuss with the owner what health and safety precautions they have in place.

“Kate looked after our dog for a few days whilst we were away at our daughters wedding. He suffers from separation anxiety and has various medical needs, all of which Kate understood and dealt with. She is very reliable and obviously cares about what she does. We would not hesitate to use Kate again or to recommend her.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the combination of being very gentle, calm and intuitive in my care and I personalise approach to each pet’s individual needs. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all pet sitting because every animal has their own personality, routines, and comforts, and I make it my priority to understand and honour those from the moment we meet. Whether I’m caring for a confident, energetic dog or a shy, sensitive cat, I adjust my pace, tone, and style so they feel completely safe and at ease. I also have hands-on experience with both puppies and senior pets. I have grown up with a German sheppard and a cocker spaniel. For puppies, I gently reinforce positive habits such as toilet training, basic cues, healthy play behaviour, and regular rest. With senior pets, I’m patient, observant, and attentive to mobility, medication timings, and any signs of discomfort or stress. I’m especially confident with anxious animals who need extra reassurance, calm presence, and consistency. Clear communication is another key part of my service. I send regular photo and video updates so you always feel connected, reassured, and fully informed about how your pet is doing. Above all, I treat every pet with genuine love, respect, and the same level of care I’d want for my own. At the moment Im available most days to visit or stay overnight, please get in touch with me to arrange a service time that works best for both. My priority is always to maintain each pet’s routine, comfort, and wellbeing while giving them plenty of attention and reassurance. I keep your home secure and tidy, respecting all instructions about keys, alarms, and household routines. I send regular updates, photos, and short videos so you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I focus on consistency

“Karen looked after my house cats for 2 weeks over Christmas. She was great. I came back to 2 well cared for boys and a clean house. She was in regular contact with photos and updates whilst I was away. Very professional and I highly recommend”
