House Sitting Branksome

About: I have experience with anxious dogs, as well as more energetic ones. I like to play with them and give them attention whenever they want. I am working part-time so I have lots of free time to look after your dog/cat. I have a couple of days off a week, but I only work small shifts, so I am quite flexible. My family dog is quite anxious, so I have experience in calming him down and being able to distract him. I love to play with them and keep them entertained.

“Ivana took excellent care of our Cavapoo, and was a very conscientious guest in our home, leaving everything just as she found it. Our dog was very happy and calm when we came home!”

“We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. From the start, Linda was so kind, calm, and easy-going, which made us feel completely comfortable leaving our home and our very nervous cat in her (and her son Liam's) care. I was quite anxious beforehand, but she looked after him so beautifully and clearly gave him lots of gentle care and attention. Coming home to a clean, well-looked-after house was lovely, and the little presents she left for us and our kids were such a thoughtful touch. We’re so grateful for everything she did and couldn’t be happier. We would absolutely love to ask her again.”

“Nia was absolutely fantastic sitting out Cavapoochon Maple. Our dog is very nervous around people and rather anxious and Nia knew exactly how best to handle that - by the time we came home only a couple of hours later they had already bonded! Nia kept us updated throughout, arrived perfectly on time and took fantastic care of our dog. Would thoroughly recommend and we’ll be booking her again soon! Thanks from AJ, Megan and Maple”

“Stacey was great, made us feel at ease, she was friendly and flexible with our requests. Archie and Toby were well looked after and the house was left clean and tidy.”

“We are so fortunate we have found Sonya. She has been amazing with looking after our tailed boys – a three year old nervous rescue dog and a four year old rescue cat. Her calm and gentle nature has helped quick bonding with both the boys at the couple of preliminary meetings we had. We left confident that everything will be under control over the three days we were away. We had great updates, with videos and photos, supported by a lovely comments. Coming back, we found a lovely note – report, happy pets and clean house. We would definitely book Sonya again and recommend her 100%.”

“Karen was wonderful! She stayed for 5 nights with our elderly dog and young cat. She updated us regularly and was very responsible and took great care of the girls. I would use Jaren again in a heartbeat!”

Barbara R.

“my dog was cared for in an amazing way! (i think she prefers Olivia!) thank you so much! will use again you are in great hands here!”

Mark S.

“Carol did an excellent job with our two staffies. She sent regular updates and our dogs seemed very happy when we returned. House was also left clean and tidy for when we got back! I would highly recommend Carol especially if you are nervous leaving your dogs for the first time like we were! 10/10 thank you Carol!!!”

“Sarah looked after our staffie x American bully while we were away camping. Benji can be quite anxious, hyperactive and can be a bit of a handful. She set up a meeting prior to the sit so we could meet her and discuss Benji's routine. She stayed in touch the whole weekend and sent us updates and pictures which put our minds at ease. Benji was very settled when we got home and Sarah left the house clean and tidy. We would reccomend Sarah 10 times over. Thank you so much 🥰”

About: I have grown up with dogs, specifically golden retrievers and labradors. However I have looked after small dogs, fluffy dogs, dogs heavier than me(!), dogs with high energy and ones that are perfect therapy dogs 😅🥰 But most importantly I love and care for them all the same way 💕💕 I currently have the summer off from work as I work in a school, so I am home 24/7. I’m very active and love to explore new places🥰🥰 I live in a bottom floor flat with our own entry, with a non-fenced garden. It is not near a main road. I’m happy to crate dogs if needed, or they can be out all day with me ☺️☺️

“Maxine stepped in on a last minute request and thanks to her Artemis had someone to keep her company for a few hours. Maxine was prompt and friendly; warm energy and patient with Artemis, who needs a fee moments to warm up to her new friend. Would be happy to book Maxine again. Thank you.”

Fox W.

“Our experience with Shanice was fantastic: her communication prior to the sit was excellent, she arrived promptly and we felt completely relaxed leaving Daisy in her care. We would highly recommend her and would not hesitate to ask Shanice to sit for Daisy again.”

About: As a self-employed personal trainer and online fitness coach, I have a flexible schedule and lead an active lifestyle, so I'm able to give dogs plenty of time, attention and exercise throughout the day. I've grown up surrounded by dogs and have lots of family dogs, so caring for them has always been a big part of my life. My mum is also a professional dog walker and pet sitter, so I've seen first-hand the level of care, responsibility and attention that goes into looking after other people's pets. It's given me a great understanding of how important it is to keep dogs happy, safe and settled while their owners are away. I've also looked after dogs for family and friends, whether that's taking them for walks, keeping them company or caring for them in their own home. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I'll always tailor my care to suit their individual needs. I'm reliable, organised and respectful of both your home and your dog's routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your dog is in safe hands. I'm happy caring for dogs of different sizes and energy levels and will always follow any feeding instructions, medication schedules and walking routines provided. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, loved and well cared for from the moment we meet. As a self-employed personal trainer and online fitness coach, I have a flexible schedule which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. My days are a mix of working with clients, creating online coaching plans and training myself, but I’m able to plan my schedule around walks, drop-in visits and caring for pets in their own home. I enjoy being outdoors and staying active, so dog walks fit naturally into my routine. I’m am flexible with my availability for visits depending on your pet’s needs, and I’m happy to discuss their usual routine to make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet and home are in safe hands. When caring for pets in their own home, I will always respect their environment, routines and individual needs to help them feel comfortable and settled while you’re away. Before any booking, I like to learn about your pet’s personality, usual routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs and any specific requirements so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. I’m a reliable, organised and tidy person, and I will treat your home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully, keep your pet’s safety as my priority and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Hi, I’m Kaya! I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. My background includes working at dog shelters, which has given me a strong understanding of different temperaments, behaviours, and individual needs. I offer reliable and attentive house sitting, providing your dog with consistent care in the comfort of their own home. I prioritise keeping their routine as normal as possible, whether that’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or simply companionship, so they feel safe and settled while you’re away. I understand how important trust is when leaving your home and pet in someone else’s care. I treat every dog as if they were my own and every home with the utmost respect. My aim is to ensure your dog feels happy, secure, and well cared for, giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I work from home and have flexible weekday availability. I can offer walking slots across lunchtime and afternoon, with some variation day to day, making it easy to fit around different dogs’ routines. At home I provide a calm, structured routine including regular walks, feeding, play, and rest. I make sure my dog has enrichment, companionship, and a safe environment, and I’m attentive to her behaviour, mood, and individual needs.

About: i’ve had two dogs of my own in which i have trained and look after, as well as looking after several puppies when being born which my family friend let me look after, after their female dog gave birth. i have also helped my neighbours when they have needed for me to stay at their house with their cats and dogs and walk their dogs as well as my family members i am currently unemployed as i am in between college and university which allows me to have a lot of time to look after your dogs. i have a black labrador called monty of my own in which i walk two to three times a day at the moment. i am abke to take on late notice requests which can be helpful for many who have busy schedules and have changes of plans. i love all animals, especially dogs which is why i want to spend time and get to know your pets. i am more so looking to look after dogs at the owners home, as i believe it is a safe space for the dog with the familiar smells as well as it being better for my own personal self, in which i will play with your dog such as throw tennis balls or play tug of war. i will also spend quality time with them in which i can sit and build their trust which i believe is key as dogs should be treated with love and respect.

“Maria was amazing with Bella, she sent regular photos and kept me up to date with everything! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter !”

“Roxanna was so wonderful to Baker! Baker is a nervous dog and she made him feel at home and ease. She took him on lots of walks and spent a lot of time with him. I also got a ton of pictures and videos which made it easier being away. Highly recommend Roxanna!!”

About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover with a lifelong connection to dogs, especially Springer Spaniels my family has had them for over 22 years, so being around energetic, loving pups is second nature to me. I’m really active and enjoy rugby and long walks, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, attention, and outdoor time. Whether it’s a relaxed stroll or a more energetic walk, I’m happy to match your dog’s needs. I’ve already had experience dog sitting, including caring for both a young puppy and multiple dogs at once. I’m also the go to person when my mum goes on holiday I take care of everything from feeding and walking to making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well looked after. I’m reliable, caring, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, so you can feel confident your pet will be in safe hands and treated like part of the family. Pet care fits really well into my daily routine. I’m a degree apprentice in aerospace design engineering, and I work flexible hours, typically from 7am to 3pm. This means I’m available for early morning, afternoon, and evening care, including walks, feeding, and spending quality time with your dog. As someone who is already active and enjoys walking, I naturally incorporate dog walks into my day. I’m used to being responsible for dogs at home too, so fitting in feeding, playtime, and general care is something that comes easily to me. I’m reliable, organised, and able to plan my time well, so your pet will always get the attention, routine, and care they need. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in any environment. In a pet owner’s home, I always follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walk schedules, and any specific instructions, so your pet feels settled and secure. I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, whether that’s regular walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m also attentive to their behaviour and needs, so I can quickly notice if anything seems off.

About: I’ve had pets since 8yrs old so I’ve grown up with them and learnt to understand their behaviour! I have 1 cat and 1 dog who are very much spoilt! I have experience walking lively dogs like my family friends dog marlin ! He’s not a fan of his lead but I’m always patient with him, I also have experience with pet sitting cats and dog but for the moment I’m offering visits and walks :) I’m free most days from 9am onwards, please let me know if you require walks earlier then this and I’ll see what u can do :) Ensuring my dog is on leash at all times especially when near any roads or when passing other dogs and cats she’s unfamiliar with. And of course in the house fences are up to ensure their safety!
