House Sitting Balsham

“Rhian was absolutely brilliant! She arrived on time, kept the house spotless, and gave Happy so much love and attention❤️ I really appreciated the regular updates – it gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommended!”

“I can’t say enough amazing things about Indre! She watched Millie and Ellie for the first time this past weekend, and wow — she was absolutely wonderful. From the beginning, she genuinely cared about the girls and made me feel completely at ease. She kept me updated throughout the weekend, sent lots of pictures, and asked thoughtful questions to make sure they were happy and comfortable. She even took them on extra walks without me asking and stayed longer so they wouldn’t have to spend as much time alone. It was so clear that Indre wasn’t just “watching” them — she genuinely cared about them and treated them like they were her own. That means everything to me. Millie and Ellie were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved having her around. I would absolutely recommend Indre to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, caring, and willing to go above and beyond. We will definitely be booking her again! ❤️🐾”

About: Hey! I am a 21 year old student veterinary nurse, completing my apprenticeship at a local practice. I have been dog walking and sitting for people locally for around 5 years, caring for them before or after work. I studied A levels in Animal Management and have worked since then at a doggy day care centre caring for over 20 dogs at once, whilst also at a farm. I also have two cheeky terriers. Therefore, I am used to a lot of mischief! I also own a lovely cat and have done numerous cat sittings too, staying at the clients house :) it’s fair to say, my life revolves around these four legged creatures- including rabbits and guinea pigs too! I am working full time at the moment, however I work both early and late shifts. Therefore I am happy to visit/ walk your pet before work, or if I’m on a late shift; in the evening afterwards. I am also available some weekends to stay over if needed!:) I currently am not looking after animals in my house due to my naughty terriers being enough to handle by themselves! They aren’t the biggest fan of new friends! However, I am more than happy to visit or stay at your house when needed!

About: Hi! I’m a self-employed dog lover who works from home Monday–Friday, so I have plenty of time to give your dog lots of attention, playtime, walks and, of course, cuddles! I live in a spacious two-bedroom flat with my own dog, Vinny. While we don’t have a private garden, we do have a communal outdoor space for toilet breaks, and I make sure Vinny gets two 45-minute walks every day. We’re lucky to have plenty of lovely options nearby, from open fields and woodland to peaceful walks through the village. At home, life is nice and relaxed. Vinny is usually snoozing on the sofa, or happily working away at a frozen Kong or LickiMat. I’m happy to keep your dog’s usual routine as much as possible, whether they’re full of energy and love a good walk or are more of a professional sofa-snoozer! I’ve always loved animals and have had pets throughout my life, including dogs, rabbits and ducks. We’d love to have a second dog of our own one day, but in the meantime I’d love to welcome some local four-legged friends into our home and give them a safe, comfortable and loving place to stay. Your dog will be treated like one of the family, with plenty of company and attention throughout the day. I’d love to meet you and your pup and see if we’re a good match!

About: Hi! I’m a genuine dog lover who enjoys spending time with pups of all sizes. While new to formal dog sitting, I’ve cared for dogs before and understand how important it is to keep them safe, happy, and loved. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, cuddles, and stick to your dog’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I am a working professional who has 2 WFH days per week. My weekends are either crammed with walks and mini adventures or resting away the Sunday roast! So I can match all energy levels. Either way would love the company. Can send regular updates and will always confirm with you your companions routines and needs to ensure the dog sitting feels to them like a little holiday! I have a ground floor flat with a private garden set back from the main road in a quiet little cluster of properties. Happy to take companions on a walk locally or further afield or around their own stomping ground.

“I couldn’t be happier with the care Oliver provided for my dogs! He was attentive, reliable, and truly cared for Cash and Opie as if they were his own. My dogs were happy, well-fed, and clearly enjoyed their time together. The updates and photos were a great touch, giving me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Oliver to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog watcher!””

I live next to the River Cam, which makes me nearby to all the local commons for your furry friends to run and have space. I also have a fenced and gated back garden for security and welfare of our fur babies. I do also own a cage should that be the way your pet is accustomed, nevertheless everything else would have to be provided by you and the way your babies are cared for is customized by how you/they like it. Unless emergency care/ last minute, I recommend/prefer a meet and greet before any decisions are made, to see how we fit.

“Carolina was amazing!! So great with our pups and provided consistent communication and photos throughout our trip. The dogs absolutely loved her!”

“Elinor was fantastic house sitting our 7 month old golden retriever puppy over the 3 days! We were delighted with the care she gave our golden retriever puppy. Puppies can be quite a handful, but she was patient, kind, and clearly cared for her as if he were her own. We came home to a happy, relaxed puppy and a tidy house, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated with messages and photos throughout our trip, and her communication was excellent. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring house sitter, and we’d happily ask her to sit for us again.”

“Leaving Roo for the second time was easy when I knew that he would be in great hands. Larissa sent photos of him rekaxing and a video if him enjoying his walk. According to my partner, Roo was sad when Larissa left, which is testament that she's a great hit with our whippet. Thanks again, Larissa, for being such a fantastic dog sitter!”

About: I am a responsible, patient, and caring person who truly loves animals. I have experience taking care of dogs and cats with different personalities and needs, including energetic pets, shy animals, and senior pets who need extra attention and comfort. What makes me different is the love and attention I give to every pet. I understand that pets are family members, so I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I can help with daily walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, basic care, and maintaining the pet’s routine. I am also attentive to details, organized, and reliable, which helps pets feel calm and secure in my care. Pet care fits very well into my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate consistent time to walks, visits, and overnight stays when needed. On a daily basis, I am available in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on prior arrangements. I make sure to plan my day so I can fully focus on each pet without rushing, giving them the attention and care they need. I always prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep the environment clean and secure, and make sure pets feel calm and comfortable at all times. I supervise them carefully, provide fresh water, food, walks, and attention, and treat every pet as if they were my own.

“Hannah is a fantastic sitter - she ensured she knew everything about Nellie’s care needs prior to sitting, communicated well and promptly and provided lovely pictures over the weekend. Nellie was very naturally comfortable with Hannah, you can tell she is at ease with animals and takes caring for them in her stride. I would 100% recommend Hannah.”
