House Sitting in Bolsover

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats and other pets of every kind since I was 10. Neighbours, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and sit with their pupils, sometimes even for days. I currently do not work so can be available 24/7. As for my daily routine, I wake up at 5am for walk and exercise. I can be available even for boarding 7 days a week. Can also travel so would be able to go certain distance to take care of your beloved furry family member, without any hesitation. With 45 years of experience, especially with dogs, I provide calm, reliable, and loving pet care. Animals feel safe and comfortable with me because I’m patient, attentive, and truly enjoy what I do. I treat every pet like my own and make safety, trust, and happiness my top priorities.

“Happy to recommend Neil!!! Took the time to understand requrements and make a visit in advance. Asked lots of questions. Also, made sure that everything was good before leaving! Lovely couple, regular text updates and most importantlyly we came home to very happy dogs!!!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for my three Cocker Spaniels, giving me hands-on experience with a breed that’s energetic, affectionate, and full of personality. From daily walks and grooming to managing routines, training, and lots of playtime, I’m comfortable handling dogs with high energy and big hearts. I know how to keep pups happy, safe, and engaged, and I bring that same level of patience and care to every dog I look after. I’m happy to be available to look after your adorable pets any evening after I finish work as an apprentice at 3pm or on any weekends! Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With years of hands-on experience caring for my three Cocker Spaniels, I’ve learned how to create a calm, structured, and secure environment for dogs of all personalities. I keep a close eye on routines, body language, and comfort levels to ensure every pup feels safe and understood.

“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.”

“Beth was incredible; professional and warm, we felt really safe with her looking after Monty. She paid attention to our requests and went above and beyond with Monty. We were impressed with her communication and will most certainly be booking her again! Strong recommendation!”

“Claire did a wonderful job of looking after our three large dogs in our home for the weekend. She did everything we asked of her and sent photos to show us how they were getting on. Thank you so much Claire, you are a star. Highly recommended.”

About: Hello Cat lovers! My name is Erika and I am a 27 year old individual looking to spend my free time looking after your fluffy babies! I have had 3 kitties in the past, and I've named them all too! Zoe, Mr.Snuggles and Wolfie were my best friends, even though they spent most of the time fighting and stealing each other's foods! It is safe to say that my passion is and forever will be animals, therefore I decided to share my love to your kitties when you are not able to! So go ahead, enjoy the sun and cocktails on the beach without a single worry. I am very organised as I've completed my Bachelor's university degree in Marketing, which has taught me imperative life skills, such as time management and communication. I am very friendly, outgoing and most importantly, responsible, so please don't hesitate to drop me a message to find out more about me! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

About: I've been around animals all my life, coming from a farming family. I have owned pet cats and dogs along with other small animals. I currently have a Border Collie and a Romanian Rescue who are both very different characters. I have also cared for other people's dogs such as friends and a local breeder when I was younger. I highly recommend viewing my Facebook profile and website for Fur, Paws & Fun! I am a full time dog walker and pet carer. I work at least 5 days per week but am flexible which days I work. I am able to offer overnight petsitting in the owners home but as I work during the day I can offer drop-in visits during my working day to allow for toileting and feeding. I am happy to care for dogs or cats in their own home. Giving care as directed by the owner, making sure their care is as smooth and as close to normal as possible. My own dogs are much loved members of our family. I have a high energy working breed and a rescue dog who both have very different needs physically and emotionally. I have cared for a variety of breeds of dig and cat.

About: I had 2 beautiful staffies that have now passed on due to old age and I know how hard it is to find good people to look after your pet last minute or even for holidays or days out, I miss having dogs but like to travel so can no longer be a permanent dog owner, but I'm happy to share the love and look after your furry friends In your time of need. I have experience looking after cats and dogs in my adult life and had various other pets as a child (all had fur or feathers) I do not allow animals on my furniture or on/in my bed, these are my non negotiables as I like the spaces I use to relax to be free of dog hair and dirt. This doesn't change the fact that your pet will be loved and fussed (if that's what they like) I prefer dogs to have a crate as my 2 loved theirs and it helps keep boundaries in the home, however, I am flexible with each pets individual care needs, I can sleep downstairs or have your pet sleep in their bed in my bedroom if needed for anxious pets or those used to sleeping in bed with their owners. I would prefer a visit/meet before any official booking to ensure I am the right fit for your pet and vise versa, but I appreciate this won't always be possible, communication is key, as I want to offer the best care possible for your pet. I have experience in crate training, muzzle training and puppy/toilet training and have looked after other people's dogs before unofficially for neighbours and family member etc. I used this service myself for my boy years ago and was very anxious to leave him with a stranger so please ask any questions you may have, I'm an open book. I work from home on certain days of the week, this can change as sometimes I may need to visit clients but this is rare and usually pre planned. Pets will be walked first thing in the morning before work and then again after work, or whatever is required for each individual. It's important and animal is stimulated and gets exercise if they are able. I have a small grass back garden that is fenced off for fresh air and toilet needs, there is a park 2 minutes form my house for walks etc. I don't currently have any pets at home

About: Hi, I’m Aurora! I’ve always adored animals, and those around me often refer to me as the cat or dog whisperer. I can often get animals that are usually shy/anxious to warm up to me pretty well. This may be because I’ve always been around animals and have a shy/timid temperament myself! 🫣 I grew up with 2 labradors, Molly and Maggie, who were my best friends. Since I was old enough to help with their care I have been looking after animals. I had another dog later on before I moved over to the UK (from the US) and I now have 4 cats (They wouldn’t dare let me have a dog now & I wouldn’t have space anyway 😂) I have looked after dogs occasionally for friends and through another app, and I’m very eager to spend some time with more puppers! I’m confident in walking dogs, though I may struggle with large dogs that pull as I’m quite petite. I have experience walking dogs who are dog reactive as well as looking after anxious dogs. Having had up to 8 cats (& owning 6 for many years before the oldest 2 sadly passed away) means I’m somewhat of an expert at feeding times! I’m capable of administering any oral medications required, I have experience of this with both cats & dogs. I can bathe dogs or do other grooming bits (I have long haired cats & I’m able to bathe them 😆😬) and I’m happy to take on any specific requirements you may have for your dog! I’m also happy to look after other animals - and even plants 🌱 I will take notes on your care requirements when we meet and will be sure to look after your pets to the best of my ability and hopefully as close as possible to the way you would care for them 😊 I have a pretty open schedule as I have Cystic Fibrosis so I am on full time disability and therefore can be around 24/7 if required. My health has improved a bit recently so this won’t affect my ability to care for your pets, and I could really do with some dog walking to get me out of the house! I will care for your pets as I would my own. I am happy to stick to any routines or requirements which you may have. I understand being anxious to leave your pets & will provide as many updates as you’d like! (I can sometimes send too many photos, so please communicate your preferences to me 😊)

About: I have 7 years of professional experience caring for both pets and homes across the UK and Australia. I’ve looked after dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, and even the occasional garden! Each sit has been a unique and rewarding experience, and I take great pride in building trust with both animals and their owners. In Australia, I completed multiple long-term house sits, including caring for senior dogs with medical needs, energetic puppies, and shy rescue cats. I understand that every animal has its own personality, and I adapt my care to suit their individual routines, quirks, and comforts. Beyond pet care, I will always keep the home tidy and well maintained, watering plants, collecting post, and ensuring everything is just as you left it. I’m organised, clean, and respectful, and I treat each home as if it were my own. If you’d like to speak with previous hosts, I’d be happy to provide references. A lot of them are Australian and it was on another website which is why I dont have loads of reviews on this site. I truly enjoy what I do, and I know how important it is to leave your pets and home in safe, reliable hands. I really miss having my own pet and being able to spend time with animals is something that makes me so happy! I work from home so my schedule can be quite flexible. I am very adaptive so if your pet has a set routine I can certainly work around their needs so they feel as comfortable as possible! I LOVE CUDDLES! I would like nothing more than to spend as much time as possible with your pet. If they are used to sleeping on the bed, fine by me. If they are quite independent and like to spend their time chilling out. No problem at all, like I say I can adapt to the needs of your pet :)

About: I’ve had spaniels since the age of 6 and I’ve taken them for walks in different areas and fed them all types of food . Im a Pe teacher so am a bundle of energy ! I’ve have very weekend off available to spend time with the lovely doggies . This makes sure all my time is dedicated to them . This is not something I will be carrying out at the moment however when the timing is right I will definitely do it in the future

“What can we say?….. SUE-PERB ! Never used a service like this before and felt really nervous about letting someone stay in our home. We needn’t have worried. Sue was lovely and we felt like we’d known her for years almost straight away. Going away for a week and leaving our 16 year old Wheaten Terrier Oz with a stranger, in a strange place was not an option we relished, so we took what we considered a risk and let Sue stay with him and Luna our younger German Shepherd. Great decision. Came home to an immaculate house and two obviously well cared for dogs. They clearly loved Sue too and they’re no fools. Even smelly old Oz had had a bath a spruce up! Shall definitely ask her to help us again!”
