House Sitting Chippenham

“Carol was an excellent sitter. From our first interaction, Carol came across very easy going and very accommodating to meet all of our needs. She did a great job looking after, keeping us updated. Dogs had plenty of walks, despite one of ours being very over excitable and pulling on the lead still being a work in progress! We came back to a very clean and tidy home and two happy doggies. We would definitely recommend Carol. Thank you 😊”

“Anne-Marie was an excellent sitter for our dog and two cats. She was very responsive before and during the booking, and we received regular updates while we were away. We will definitely be booking her again!”

“We would highly recommend Davide he did the most wonderful job of taking care of not only Jasper our yorkie poo but also the tortoise and fish and also left the house spotless 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

“As always Dom provides a fantastic service looking after Pepper. After a week away she is calm and content which is wonderful to see. Dom managed Peppers medication and physio needs with ease. Communication throughout the house sit was perfect, lots of photos and detail on how Pepper was doing and the house is spotless which is amazing to come back to.”

“Hayley was incredible!! The cats were in the safest of hands with her, and her attention to detail and communication were fantastic. We had a slight scare when one of our cats decided it was time to jump over the garden fence, but Hayley was fantastic in bringing him back in and keeping a watchful eye out. We came back to very very happy cats, much more content than usual when we leave them! This shows Hayley’s fantastic care - would love to have you back Hayley! (Perhaps when we’ve fitted a cat-proofed fence!!)”

“Sandra is an excellent dog sitter. She is very kind and calm. She looked after our 3 dogs amazingly well. We came back and they were so calm and content, the house was clean and tidy and she kept excellent communication with us while we were away so we could relax and enjoy our holiday knowing they were in good hands. Our dog has a health condition that Sandra managed so well and was she was safe taking the dogs out mindful of all their quirks ! I cannot recommend Sandra highly enough and definitely hope she will sit for us again!!!”

“An amazing couple . Their love of dogs shines through the minute you meet them & they looked after our 15month old black lab so well . Cant recommend them highly enough ! Thankyou so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻😃”

“Sarah and Steven looked after our dog Bertie for a week in our home. They were brilliant; they came to meet us beforehand and came back again to have a walk with Bertie before we went away. Most importantly, Bertie loved them, which meant we could go away and relax. Bertie was very well cared for, walked and groomed. Our house was spotless when we got back, and the bedding was taken off and washed for us. They were very accommodating when our flight was delayed. I would highly recommend them, and we will definitely be using them in the future.”

About: Hello Dog Owners, my name is Gill and I adore dogs. I grew up with a dachshund, until age 11. I love spending a lot of time outdoors, walking in the countryside or riding my mountain bike. I live in Chippenham where there are many great dog walks nearby. I’ve been looking after other people’s dogs for 10 years now. It started with Borrowmydoggy when I lived in London. I walked Ted and Alan, both yorkshire terriers, for 3 years until their owner moved away. Then came 2 adorable big labradoodles, Hoozer and Oreo, who for 4 years I regularly walked and sat for while their owners were on holiday. Then I moved to Wiltshire where I grew up and have family. As a member of Trustedhousesitters I sat for 1 Labrador, 2 rescue cats and 4 alpacas which was fun! I now regularly sit for Golden retriever Nala and staffy/greyhound cross Bluebell when their owners are away and walk local cockapoo Bella every week. Several of these dogs have had medical issues and I’m used to managing meds. So I may be new to Rover but have plenty of sitting experience. Now having semi-retired from a career in marketing consultancy, I’m keen to spend more time caring for dogs and other animals and love meeting owners and their furry companions. I'm semi-retired now, so when I’m available for sitting or walks I won’t be working. I can dedicate all my time to your pets. For walking, I can walk your dog twice a week in the afternoons at a time of your choosing. I offer pet sitting in your own home. I like to have a video or phone chat with owners before the sit to understand everything that's important about the animals, e.g. their exact routine, details of food and any meds, number and timing of walks, on/off lead etc. The most important aspect of a sit is that the animals feel safe and cared for, and that they continue with the routine you have with them. During the sit I send a few pictures of what we've been up to, and communicate with you at regular intervals. I don’t like to leave dogs for more than two hours, less if they’re very anxious and when sitting I generally tend to spend all my time with the dogs, except for the obvious trips to the supermarket, etc. I don’t do back-to-back sits, perhaps one every 2-3 months, and do it just for the joy of being with the dogs and other animals. I'm also interested in dog walking and helping owners out by dropping in to feed or be with dogs or cats. Please get in touch to discuss your needs.

“Cymon has done a great job looking after my boys, regular updates, videos and photos throughout his stay. Thank you so much already booked up again.”

“Sophie was fantastic looking after our almost 3 year old cocker spaniel for the day. Despite our dog being nervous when first meeting Sophie, she was still very willing to come and look after him. He quickly settled with Sophie. She gave us an update with photo half way through the day which was very much appreciated! Highly recommend Sophie!”

Emma P.

“Kit has been great with our big dog Rufus. Fantastic communication and was happy to do what we asked as our dog recently developed separation anxiety due to moving house. Rufus has been calm and relaxed all week which goes to show how well he was looked after. Thank you very much!”

“Molly is absolutely lovely and our pups had a great time with her. They were happy and relaxed when we returned home - and so were we! We will definitely use her again.”

Zoe M.

“Madison was an absolute star. She came and looked after Eddie while we were at a wedding. She sent us photo updates of him and replied very quickly letting us know he was okay. The house was left clean and tidy. Madison is lovely and caring and looked after our boy very well. Thank you so much xx”

About: I've been around dogs for most of my life and have owned two wonderful Labrador Retrievers since I was 8 years old. Growing up with them has given me plenty of hands-on experience with everything from daily walks and feeding routines to playtime, training, and making sure they're happy and well cared for. Anyone who knows me will tell you I'm the biggest dog lover in our friendship group! I absolutely adore dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Whether your dog is small or large, energetic or more relaxed, I'll make sure they receive the care, attention, and affection they deserve. One of the great benefits I can offer is that I work in a dog-friendly office, so if appropriate for your dog, they'll be able to come with me during the day rather than being left at home. They'll enjoy a sociable environment with plenty of company, attention, and opportunities for interaction throughout the day. I work Monday to Friday, but your dog's care will always be my priority. If your dog is sociable and you're happy for them to do so, they're very welcome to join me at my dog-friendly office, where they'll enjoy plenty of company and attention throughout the day. If your dog would be happier at home, I'll come home during my lunch break (12:00–1:00 pm) to take them for a walk, spend quality time with them, and make sure they have lots of fuss and attention before I head back to work. I'll then be home by around 4:15 pm at the latest for the rest of the evening. Dogs staying with me will enjoy walks in the morning, at lunchtime, and in the evening if that's what suits their exercise needs. Every dog is different, so I'll always tailor their routine to what they're used to and what makes them happiest. In the evenings, my partner Alex and I are both at home, so there'll be plenty of playtime, cuddles, enrichment, and quality time to help your dog feel settled and loved. I live in a spacious first-floor, two-bedroom, two-bathroom open-plan apartment, providing plenty of room for dogs to relax, play, and feel at home. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, so I'm happy to accommodate your preferences. If your dog is crate-trained and you would like them crated for sleeping or when appropriate, I'm more than happy to do so. Our home is calm and quiet, with no children and no other pets, making it an ideal environment for dogs who enjoy a peaceful space or prefer being the only pet in the home. I'll always follow your instructions to help keep your dog comfortable, happy, and feeling secure throughout their stay.

“Maria dog and house sat for us for 4 days over a long weekend. We came back to a clean well looked after house and a very happy dog. We received regular updates with pictures and videos all weekend and Maria even continued our puppy training. We will be booking Maria again and cannot recommend her enough.”

About: I’ve had fish, Guinea pigs and dogs for many years. We currently have a gorgeous and friendly fox red Lab who is 4. I will provide a home-from-home for your pet and know all the best walks locally for your dog to enjoy. Our garden is enclosed and dog-friendly. I work part time from home so am always about and have my 2 children (9+ 11) with me to provide extra cuddles and attention to pets. In our house our dog can go where she pleases so we are happy to go with the flow of what your dog is used to.

About: I have lived with animals all my life and I have a special connection with them all. I have 20 years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, the best years of my life was fostering and caring for a pack of 5 wolf dogs . Unfortunately they all passed away due to an old age and now I live with a beautiful and totally different character French bulldog. I have experience with medication administration, caring for animals with health issues and behavioural difficulties. With me your member of a family will be treated with love, kindness and compassion because that is what they deserve. I will have plenty of time for your loved ones, if they need long walks, play time or just a cuddle. Your dog will not be left unattended at any time. I live in 2 bed house with a small frenchie. We don’t have a garden but live around a corner from a lovely gated park.

About: Hi, I’m Jasmine — a genuine animal lover with a lifetime of experience caring for all kinds of animals, from small pets to large dogs. I’ve had dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, rats, fish (including koi!) and even a bearded dragon called George. 🐾 I spent 4 years working at a local animal shelter in a fundraising role, where we received introductory behavioural training for both cats and dogs. I’ve also learnt a huge amount through caring for our own rescue animals, including experience with dog and human-reactive dogs and dogs of all sizes, including bully breeds. I support entirely fear-free, positive reinforcement methods and aim to make every animal feel safe, comfortable and cared for. I’m mainly looking to spend more time around animals and hopefully make life a little easier for their owners too — whether that’s a walk, drop-in visit, sitting or a home-from-home stay. I work from home in an office-based role, which means your pet can enjoy the company and comfort of a calm home environment rather than being left alone for long periods. I’m able to provide a relaxed, homely setting where your companion can settle into their usual routine, with plenty of attention, company and care around my working hours. Walks, playtime and any additional care can be built around their individual routine and needs. Your pet’s wellbeing is always my priority, and I’ll follow your guidance on their routines, preferences, likes and dislikes to make their stay as familiar and stress-free as possible. I’m also happy to keep you updated while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re comfortable, settled and being well cared for. At weekends, I’m able to offer even more flexibility and time for walks, adventures, enrichment and one-to-one attention. My aim is to make their time away from you feel as much like home as possible — with care tailored to the individual companion rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. I’m there to look after your pets in which ever way you advise me too - I practice fear free care for animals, a firm believer in positive reinforcement & meeting an animals individual needs. If I’ll be boarding your animal, my garden is fully enclosed & I have a comfortable house with room for a crate or other items for your animal. I do have guinea pigs at home who are behind a locked door & stair gate but please let me know if your animal has a particular interest in small animals! I expect full transparency, care, attention and updates from those that look after my pets whilst I’m away so this is what I feel most happy offering you whilst your pets are in my care. 💕
