House Sitting Chesterfield

About: I have experience of looking after 7 golden retrievers at one time. I love walking and have a clean and safe home which is dog friendly. I am not currently working so have lots of free time to look after your pets. I am not available some weekends but am free most days in the week and every other weekend. I am willing to administer any care needed for your dog. I am willing to look after your pet overnight as well as in the day

“Katie was amazing with my Dogue de Bordeaux. From the moment she met her, Harper loved her and I knew she'd be in good hands. I received regular updates throughout the booking too. I came back to a very happy pooch and Katie had treated the house with the upmost respect. I would definitely recommend Katie and will definitely book her again in the future. Thank you so much Katie for the love you gave to Harper (and Smartie the cat!) 😊”

About: Hi, I am Natalie I have a little Tibetan Spaniel called Bella, she is a massive part of our family and there is never a dull moment when she is around. She turns the incredible age of 18 in November! She does go to my parents as she is a family pet so this isn't a issue if dogs dont get on she will go to my mum and dad's house. I have a great experience with animals, often rescuing wild injured animals and also being a voulenteer for The Guide Dogs in chesterfield. I have owned hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, budgies and dogs. I love hiking, yoga and swimming. I also have a big passion for travel our recent trip being America and visiting Yellowstone and Montana seeing the beautiful grizzly bears with their babies. Your beautiful fur babies are in the best hands with me and will get treat like part of the family ! I also do a lot of hiking so am happy to take the dogs out with me too if wanted. I am currently working part time so will have plenty of time for your animals, I like to board mostly over the weekend but this is not always an absolute must. I have a lovely fenced secure garden for your pooches to play in. We also have stairgates top and bottom, our dog is elderly so we had these put in place to reduce the risks of falls. A big open plan kitchen and dinner for the animals to have lots of space in.

“Our dog was happy and relaxed when we got home and the house was tidier than before we left. Obviously - dog people. We are happy to recommend without reservation.”

About: I do work in the office but am able to come home on lunch for an hour to walk & play. I only care for one pet family at a time so don’t worry about anxious dogs mixing. All my day care & boarding services include walks - no extra cost! Growing up with dogs, I’ve developed an intuitive understanding of their needs. From playful pups to senior dogs, I’ve cared for them all! I have dealt with medication for heart diseases and epilepsy and understand the importance of routine and timing for medication. I grew up with chihuahuas and a shitzu. I understand the need to adapt to different behaviours and anxieties. Most importantly I understand the need for dogs to feel loved and involved whilst their pet parents are away. I understand that communication is key when trusting someone to care for your dog and I will go above and beyond to keep you updated on your dogs day. Trust is the most important thing! I love all different breeds of dogs. I feel like I have a great understanding of their different types of needs depending on breed. I understand toy breeds unique needs, combining vigilance for their safety with a gentle approach to their emotional well-being. I understand that they may not need as much strenuous exercise as larger breeds, but they thrive on companionship and consistent routines, often being content with a short walk and plenty of lap time. Given their small bladders, I understand they may require more frequent potty breaks than larger dogs. I am extra cautious during walks, using appropriate safety equipment like a secure harness to prevent accidents, and being aware of other, potentially larger, animals that could scare them or put them in danger. I am able to accept boarding at my own home with my partner at the weekends and also midweek as long as you are happy for me to work in the office and come home on my lunch hour (I work 5 mins away) to let your dog out for walk and spend time with them (left 4 hours at a time). I can walk your dogs in the morning before work and in an evening too. We have no pets so your doggies have our full attention. I have a secure garden and allow any dogs to roam all of the house. We are closed to parks and fields and so there is plenty of outdoor space for them to enjoy! I only board one pet family at a time & am happy to adjust to yours dogs needs. I can follow any crate training too.

About: As a lifelong owner of both cats and dogs, animals are a massive part of my life. I have extensive experience caring for friends' and family members' pets, offering everything from quick drop-in visits to overnight stays. I am an active person who genuinely loves being outdoors, so I am always happy to spend my time taking dogs on long, refreshing walks to keep them happy and exercised. I am incredibly comfortable handling a wide variety of breeds and sizes, ranging from my own tiny, energetic Maltese to large breeds like German Shepherds. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a strict feeding routine, or just lots of cuddles while you're away, I promise to treat them like my own! I work full-time with a hybrid routine, which gives me great flexibility! On weekends, I am completely free and available for pet sitting, long walks, and drop-in check-ins, meaning your pet will get my undivided attention all weekend. During the week, my hybrid schedule allows me to easily accommodate dog walks and drop-in visits around my working hours. I am highly organised and always ensure pet care integrates seamlessly into my routine, so your pet will always get their exercise and attention exactly when they need it To ensure your pet feels completely safe and comfortable, I offer care exclusively in the comfort of your own home. Pets thrive best in their familiar surroundings, and staying in their own environment helps maintain their normal routine and reduces any separation anxiety.

“I can wholeheartedly recommend Fabiana and her partner Mateo for dog/ house sitting. We are always nervous about leaving our dog when we go away but they stayed in our home and ensured that he was properly looked after whilst we were away; they even worked their shifts together to give him his usual number of daily walks and not disrupt his routine. We will definitely ask Fabiana first before we go anywhere else. Thank you so much for the videos, updates and peace of mind!!!”

About: I took care of my cousin’s Husky puppy Momo in the teenager years. I helped him with learning to pee outdoor and walked him when my cousin was busy at work. That was my first experience taking care of a pet and absolutely loved it. Last year I pet sat for Dozy a 3 years old Weimaraner, Heiniu a 16 years old small dog and Badger a rescue cat for a couple when they were away in Spain. Recently I helped pet sitting my friend’s Maltese Lai who is less than a year old when she went on a holiday with her family. I am also an active 5-starred member on THS which I use when I go on travelling:) I’m very flexible with my time, I’ve just finished my gap year travelling around the world and currently I am mostly applying jobs online at home :) However, I’d still appreciate giving a bit of notice for pet sitting just so I can make sure I am able to do it:) Unfortunately, I won’t be able to board your furry ones at mine as I am lodging in someone’s house but I am happy to walk, drop-in and house sit:)

“I decided to try housesitting as my cat has struggled with my previous arrangements during holidays. I was very nervous about it as I’ve never used a house-sitter before. I’m so glad I found Jordan and booked him. He was wonderful. Jordan took very good care of the house and made sure my cat was happy. I received lots of updates and pictures which gave me enormous peace of mind. My cat had a lovely time hanging out with Jordan and was sad when he left! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jordan or book him again in the future 😊”

Sent pictures of our pup our entire vacation and was so understanding when work men needed to be at our house while we were away due to a leak from the rain. We super appreciated her flexibility and she left the house looking great & pup feeling loved.”

About: I grew up with dogs in our household and for the last 20 years I've had my own dogs but lost my last one, Sanza, a Toy Poodle, in June 2025. I dog sit two Dachshund sisters aged 15 regularly and enjoy it very much. I love dogs and would treat your dogs as if they were my own. Your pet's comfort, happiness and safety is my priority. I have experience of giving medication via injection as my dog was diabetic and had to have insulin injections twice a day as well as oral medication. I also have experience of looking after senior dogs as I have cared for dogs who are 14 and 15 years old. I am available to look after your dogs in my home or at your home so they have as little disruption to their routine as possible. I am retired so I'am at home all day so can look after your pets whenever you need me. I'm very flexible and can adjust my schedule to fit in around your needs. I have an enclosed garden which is fully fenced/ brick wall. The garden is very secure. I live in a semi detached bungalow so there are no stairs to climb. I have lots of toys for your dogs to play with. I am available to look after them in their own home or at my home. I am retired so I am around all the time to look after your dogs. I prefer to look after small dogs but will look after medium sized dogs as long as they walk well on the lead as I walk with a crutch so can't manage to walk large dogs who pull or lunge too strongly when they react to other dogs. I do not look after large dogs for safety reasons.

“The dogs were all very happy having Lauren around to look after them. Dennis Spaniel can be a little tricky but Lauren was happy to manage him following my instructions and after a long walk together he flaked out.”

About: I’ve been lucky enough to spend my life surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes – from playful pups and cuddly cats to tropical fish, and even bees! 🐝 Animals have always been a huge part of my world, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have hands-on experience looking after dogs, cats, and fish. I’ve also trained my own dogs, which means I understand how important patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are. Whether it’s a puppy learning the ropes, or an older dog who needs a gentler pace, I adapt to each animal’s unique needs. With bees, I’ve learned the importance of calm handling, respect, and attentiveness – skills I bring to all the pets I care for. Safety, trust, and making sure your pet feels comfortable are always my top priorities. Your furry (or finned!) family member will be cared for as if they were my own – with love, attention, and plenty of fun. A Day in My Care 🐾 • Morning Walks (7am – 9am): A refreshing start to the day with plenty of exercise, sniffing, and tail wags. Perfect for dogs who like to burn off energy first thing. Session length can be discussed. • Midday Visits (11am – 2pm): Feeding, toilet breaks, playtime, or a calm walk — tailored to your pet’s routine. • Afternoon Adventures (3pm – 5pm): Shorter walks as welcome as the longer ones, or quieter sessions in the garden depending on your dog’s needs. • Evening Check-Ins (6pm – 8pm): Dinner, toilet breaks, and some quiet companionship to wind down. Your pet’s safety and happiness always come first. I understand how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. • Safety: I keep walks controlled, calm, and enjoyable. I only use secure leads and harnesses, avoid unsafe areas, and always pay attention to your dog’s comfort and limits. It’s always good to get to know your dog beforehand so let me know what they’re like both inside and outside, any behavioural quirks or anything else you might think useful. • Trust: Animals respond best when they feel safe and respected. I will take time to get to know your pet’s personality so they can relax and enjoy themselves while you’re away. • Environment: I adapt to your pet’s routine and surroundings to reduce stress and keep things familiar. Walks can be energetic adventures or calm strolls, depending on what your dog needs. You can feel confident knowing your pet will be cared for with patience, consistency, and kindness — as if they were my own.

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.

“Maisie looked after our puppy for the day, and she was brilliant with him. Excellent communication leading up to the day, and he was very happy to be left with her. Look forward to having Maisie sit for us again.”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up on a farm, have had big dogs my whole life, from puppy to senior age and currently have a happy, well-trained Dalmatian who I raised from a puppy. I love exploring the Peak District and giving dogs the exercise, attention, and stimulation they need. With my own car and flexible routine, I’m always ready for walks, countryside adventures, and making sure your dog feels safe and cared for, as if they are a part of my family! As a university student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I enjoy staying active and getting outdoors, so dog walks and spending time with pets fit naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to be flexible with timings and make sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and care they need. I live in the quiet community of Dore, that has easy accessible walking paths and parks. My flat is the end of a cul-de-sac and has a garden and large car park for quick pee breaks. My flat is very spacious and with plenty of open play space!
