Dog Sitting Chippenham

“Katie did a drop-in for our Golden Retriever. she was great and called us when it turned out we had inadvertently locked her out of the house. Problem solved, she gave Alf a good run around the garden (with videos to show us) and spent some quiet time with him too. we would definitely use Katie again. Thanks Katie and sorry again about the key problem!”

“Holly was amazing with all the animals and I didn’t have to worry about them at all. She followed all the instructions to a T. I loved that she gave me regular photo updates. I came home and all the animals seemed so happy, even the ones that usually hold a grudge for a few days when I leave! The house and all the animals were cleaned when I came home which was a relief after a long flight! I will definitely be asking Holly to stay next time I go away :)”

“Great communication before during and after Sophie’s visit. Bert was very content on our return. Would definitely recommend Sophie and will be in touch when we require services again”

About: I’ve been the proud owner of Bella, a Sprollie (Springer Spaniel x Border Collie), for four years 🐾 Owning a high-energy breed has taught me how to provide both physical exercise and mental stimulation to keep dogs happy and balanced 🧠⚡ During walks, I use consistent commands to encourage good leash manners and calm behaviour. I specialise in on-leash walks and long-lead walks in parks, giving dogs the freedom to explore safely 🦮🌳 Neighbours, friends and family have trusted me with their pets, and I treat every dog with the same care and attention I give Bella ❤️ For boarding, please bring your dog’s own food as every dog is different — some have specific dietary needs due to skin or health conditions and I want to make sure they’re comfortable 🍽️ If you have a favourite blanket or crate you’d like them to use, feel free to bring that along too 🛏️ For walking, just let me know whether you prefer on-leash or off-leash, and give me an idea of their recall so I can keep them safe 🐕 Before any booking, I always arrange a meet and greet so your dog is familiar with me before I come to pick them up — we can sort this out easily during the booking process 🤝😊 I’m currently available on weekends for drop-in visits, boarding, walking and dog sitting 🐾 Your dog will have great company with my Sprollie Bella, who loves making new friends! 🐕 Weekend availability means I can give your pup plenty of time, attention and fun without rushing 😊 I have a two-bedroom house with a fully fenced garden, so your dog can roam and play safely 🏡🌿 We’re just 5 minutes from large green areas around Malmesbury, perfect for both on-leash and off-leash walks 🦮🌳 We also live close to rivers, so just let me know if you’d prefer your dog to stay dry or if they’re happy to get a little wet! 💧 For boarding, please bring your dog’s crate or bed if you have one so they feel right at home 🛏️ We have our own dog bowls but you’re more than welcome to bring your dog’s own if they prefer — whatever keeps them comfortable! 🍽️ Your dog’s safety and happiness is always the priority, and Bella will be on hand to help them settle in 🐾❤️

About: Hello, My name is Emily and I am a mum (to a small human) and I work as a chef in a lovely country pub just outside Bath. I have owned cats my whole life and I am currently the human slave of a beautiful Birman boy called Theo who is 4 years old. As someone who understands that cats are very complex beings due to their superior intelligence, and how stressful it can be finding someone to care for your furry friends, I would love to help other owners. I will provide lots of cuddles (or not, depending on their personality!), regular feeds and ensuring they are as calm, healthy and happy as possible while you are away. I have a lot of experience with cats and can read their body language very well. I would be happy to keep you as updated as you need so can relax while away. I am available in the Chippenham/Bath/Bristol area and happy to provide a character reference from my employer if required.

“Sophie came to feed & walk our dog Otis at short notice, and she was great! Super organised & efficient, and she was able to make friends with Otis very quickly. Very happy dog… and owners!”

“Smaranda looked after our cat at short notice, she was completely reliable, unphased about giving him his medicine and obviously has a way with cats as he took to her straight away. Couldn’t have asked for more.”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong, hands-on experience with animals of all ages and needs. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, cats, horses, and small animals, and I’ve cared for everything from young puppies to senior pets requiring extra patience and attention. My experience includes pet sitting multiple dogs and cats at once, bottle-feeding and raising a kitten, and house sitting for 16+ animals including elderly dogs and horses. I’m comfortable adapting care to each pet’s stage of life and personality, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet sitting fits easily into my weekly routine. I work in the office three days a week and am otherwise very flexible. My availability for each service is listed on my profile, but I’m happy to adjust and accommodate your needs whenever possible depending on the situation 😊 I love spending time outdoors and providing care that closely follows your pet’s usual routine. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on keeping things consistent and comfortable so your pet feels at ease. I’d be happy to chat more about your pet’s specific needs and preferences.

“Beth has been brilliant on drop-ins to look after our cat Nika- Beth is friendly and communicative, and asks questions to give the best for the pet. On the visits Beth keeps us updated and gets on well with Neeks even though she often hides from new people. Beth takes comforting photos while there, which is nice when you’re away!”

About: I have 5 granddogs, 2 grandcats, 2 grandpigs, 2 goddogs and numerous canine and cat nephews and nieces (not blood of course, they are the furry kids of my friends). They’re family 😁 Usually only available between June and January as I live in Colombia January to May. However do feel free to ask, especially if the dates that you require are close to the limits. If I'm here I can adapt my schedule. I work remotely as a geeky historical writer, so can be pretty much anywhere and what can be better than doing that whilst making new furry friends. I treat them as family, except when the sharing of food is the question. I don’t share food, just like my English goddog, Percy, doesn’t share his bone. With regard to communication - the number listed is now obsolete - my new number is Colombian because I live in Colombia for six months each year - Unfortunately Rover does not have a Colombia option. So best to email me or communicate through Rover.

About: I have always had a passion for Animals. Even as a small child I was fascinated by animals of any type. At one point I had 3 dogs a cat and a hampster. In fact I refused to go to the dentist unless I had another pet!! 😂 Since then my passion for animals has grown. 15 years ago I decided that I would like to become a dog groomer. I have been doing this ever since and still love it. Since my Family are all grown up and flown the nest I decided it would be nice to do pet sitting as well which I enjoy very much. My beautiful dog Poppy was put to sleep 2 years ago and since then I have decided not to have another pet of my own for now. I get the enjoyment of looking after other people’s. I hope you will consider me to look after your precious pets. I can assure you I will love them like they are my own.. x I have recently become unemployed so I have found myself with a lot of free time and what better thing to do then spend my time with your gorgeous pets. It’s my passion and the thing that makes me the happiest. I would love the opportunity to look after your pets. I can assure you they will be well cared for and loved like they are my own. So I live in a 2 bedroom apartment. I don’t have a garden but I do have a lovely outdoor balcony. A perfect space for your dog to chill and lap up the sunshine. My surrounding area is mainly fields and beautiful walks just outside my door. I love to walk and will happily walk your dog as requested. I am not precious about my home and if you are happy for them to sleep on the sofa then so am i. I want your pet to feel at home. I am also happy to look after your pets in your home. I know how important this can be for some dogs especially if they suffer with anxiety. Being in the comfort of their own home is usually the best solution for them. I am very flexible and happy to fit in with your pets requirements.

“Fay immediately won over Alfie and Poppy on the 1st meeting. She was gentle and friendly with them, noted their likes and dislikes, played with them during her visits and made sure they had a great time. Would 100% recommend.”

About: I've got lots of experience with dogs having always had them and I have a background working as a groom and rider, giving me plenty of hands on experience caring for, handling and understanding animals. I currently have my own German Shorthaired Pointer, and regularly do scent work and tracking with him. I particularly enjoy dogs that need plenty of exercise, mental stimulation and an understanding of their individual personality. However I also love the smaller or more chilled guys! I’m comfortable handling energetic, strong or working breed dogs and understand that every dog has different needs. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a relaxed companion, or someone trustworthy to care for them in their own home, I’ll treat them as an individual rather than taking a one size fits all approach. I’m reliable, responsible and attentive, and I will follow your dog's usual routine closely, the more instructions the better! I offer dog walking, drop in visits and house sitting in and around Bath. I am currently unemployed so have lots of time and flexibility! My dog goes on one to two walks a day with lots of training thrown in however this has changed a lot with the heatwave. If I need to be with your dogs for the entire day this is fine as I live with family who can look after my dog. I will follow all instructions left to ensure your dog is kept in as much of a routine as possible. On walks I would use fenced areas or keep your dog on a lead or long line unless you are confident with their recall. I understand the warning signs in dog interactions and when to move on, as a general rule I stay away from other dogs unless all dogs show happy friendly signs. I am aware of risks such as bloat, heatstroke and poison and tend to be very over cautious when it comes to their health.

About: I have been around animals of all kinds for as long as I can remember, from growing up around cats and dogs to living in Kenya and seeing wild beasts! I am trustworthy, adore every animal, and have experience looking after all different types of dogs and cats, accumulated over many years and in many different places. Any work I do currently do is from home, so I have all day to spend with my furry friends! My days and weeks are centred entirely around them! We have a walled garden and the door of the house is left open if the weather permits. But there is no way to escape the walled garden! Dogs are rarely left unsupervised, except for up to an hour if I am going running with my younger spaniel. Dogs are entertained throughout the day with various games/walks.

About: I've always had different types of pets, mostly dogs and always loved caring for them. I am patient, responsible and take my work with animals very seriously. I'm currently working as a volunteer a few days a week so I have a lot of time to play and walk your dogs! I will follow all instructions and rules when caring for your pet in your home and will do everything to make sure your pet is happy and taken care of.

About: I’ve had dogs and Cats all my life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. 15+ years experience, fully insured and DBS checked + licensed. I give your pets the same love, attention, and care as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog loves long countryside walks, playing fetch, or simply curling up for a cuddle, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m experienced with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I’m committed to keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages so you can have complete peace of mind. Your pets happiness, safety, and wellbeing will always be my top priority. I work from home full time so whether your pet is with me at my house or I'm pet sitting at your house, I will be home throughout the entire day. I typically start my morning with a coffee and some pet social time, then head out for a morning walk depending on your pets typical schedule I'm open to walking at different times. I spend time with the dogs outside throughout the day and typically go for an evening walk to end the day off before dinner and relaxing.

“Katrina was absolutely wonderful looking after our 2 cats! One of them was on medication which I thought would be a quite challenge but there was no problem for Katrina to manage that! We definitely recommend her, she is real animal lover and cares so much for them! If we could give her more than 5 stars we definitely would! Thank you so much Katrina! Love from Roza, Ian, Fernando and Felicya x”

“Sophie was great and dropped in for a visit for my girls while I was out for the day. She communicates well and looked after my two dogs well.”
