House Sitting County of Herefordshire

“Five stars! Joella stepped in for a rush meeting and exceeded all expectations. Our Frenchie, Belle, was well-cared for and clearly very happy. It’s rare to find someone this reliable on short notice. Best sitter we've used—highly recommend.”

“Lovely young woman, she was very thorough with understanding my dogs needs, her communication was excellent and I didn't worry at all about leaving my dogs with her and they were very happy in her care. I have 2 little rescues and the right care is paramount due to their past traumas and I genuinely am so thrilled with the care she gave them. She will be my first go to whenever I need anyone to watch them for me again. I would highly recommend Emily!”

“Big thank you to Tracey for looking after Millie and Lilly whilst I had a couple of days away. Both dogs took to Tracey straight away. I arrived back home to two very happy dogs and a clean house! Will definately be booking Tracey again 😊”

“Jane is fantastic! She came over to meet our dog a few weeks before the event - we’re glad Maggie had had a chance to meet her beforehand. Jane is calm, organised and no-fuss. She’s also punctual and reliable. She’s very relaxed and makes you feel like she’d cope very well in an emergency (luckily there wasn’t one!) She also just seems like a very nice person and we felt very happy to leave Maggie with her. Would definitely recommend her and we will be asking her to look after Maggie again.”

“Charlotte was absolutely lovely from the moment I met her. She took the time to come to our house and meet Bobbin prior to the booking so he could get to know her and so she could find out about his routine, behaviour etc. Bobbin can be a bit of a nervous nellie when we leave him but we needn't have worried as Charlotte took such amazing care of him and Bobbin had such a lovely day. We were updated with pictures and videos of him playing, cuddling and also relaxing in the house. Bobbin showed no sign of stress and seemed to really enjoy his day with her. Charlotte listened to our instructions and was very attentive and understanding. I would definitely recommend Charlotte to anyone looking for a dog sitter, especially if you have a dog who is a bit nervous. Looking forward to using Charlotte again in the future ?”

I can provide a warm, calm, and capable environment for your animals, whether in your home or ours. I tailor every stay to your pet’s individual personality, needs, and routine. Here's what I offer: Structured exercise routines suited to your pet’s age, breed, and energy level from gentle strolls to long countryside walks Personalised feeding schedules to maintain consistency with your pet’s home diet and routine Medication administration, including for senior or special needs pets, handled with care.

Flexible care arrangements, whether you prefer me to care for your pet in your home or my Hereford town house with secure fenced garden. With my background as a certified dog groomer and BHS-qualified equestrian, I understand animals from the inside out both practically and emotionally. I amhere to work with you, around your schedule, and adapt to your pet’s changing needs. Whether you’re heading away or just need some extra support, I will endeavor to be flexible and work to your needs. I work from home and my husband is a part time carer for his elderly mother so we are able to work between us to provide a flexible service to you depending on your personal requirements. This gives us the flexibility to provide daily drop ins,day care,house sitting or holiday boarding. We have two separate secure garden areas where dogs can be slowly and safely introduced to our own dogs. Or your dog can have its own separate area and garden access. We have a van and crates if your dogs need collecting. There will always be one of us present during your pets stay with us or our stay in your home. We will adapt to your schedule and your pets needs. We are happy to travel for house sitting. We are able to offer care for other animals by negotiation including livestock and birds. Johns 15 years as a small holder and a goat farmer included milking up to 40 goats per day and caring for his own cattle, pigs and sheep. Maggie's experience working with horses on stud farms While we are not currently offering any riding we would be happy to turn out, change rugs and feed horses and give basic care to other larger animals that live on the property. We will leave your home as clean and tidy as you leave it. We will be as unobtrusive as we can be while we care for your beloved creatures. In our home we have various different rooms including a sunroom where your dog can find a safe and relaxing spot to curl up in and a secure garden with tall fencing for your dogs potti breaks.

About: Until now, in 57 years, I have never known a time in my life without a dog to care for. Now is the time to give my time to yours whenever needed. I work from home primarily. Occasionally I will need to show my face at the office but this is rare. I will always be open and honest with all potential clients when booking so that your pet is cared for exactly as you wish. If you don't see your required availability please do contact me for a discussion to see if I can rework my diary. I have only stipulated days I am always available. I live alone in the countryside with a large fenced garden alongside open fields and designated footpath walks along the River Wye. Your pet/s will be given free roam of my home, with no restrictions unless you would prefer me to instill "at home rules". Sadly, I don't have a dog of my own any longer - so yours will be my priority and I am free to continue any training patterns without disruption and dedicate my time to your darling dog/s. I am a confident experienced dog owner and love to walk - I walk A LOT - it seems silly not to be taking a pampered 4 legged friend with me :) All mud and gunk removed before returning to rightful owner!!

“Fantastic, reassuring and kind. Our cockapoo Mylo doesn’t get left and Becky was amazing with him. We also got a couple of pics showing him nice and settled and having cuddles. Would be super confident to leave Mylo with Becky again after a long time of not leaving him alone. Thank you so much Becky.”

About: I have over 20 years of experience owning and caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, from small companion dogs to large, energetic breeds. I currently have two friendly dogs of my own — Bella, a 5 year old Labradoodle, and Barney, a 3 year old Labrador. Both are well socialised, playful and love the company of other dogs. Over the years I’ve gained experience with: • Puppies and reinforcing basic training • High energy breeds that need mental and physical stimulation • Larger, strong dogs • Nervous or shy dogs that need reassurance • Following strict feeding schedules and routines • Administering oral medication if required I understand how important it is to leave your dog somewhere safe and loving. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. I work from home full time, five days a week, which means your dog will have constant company and supervision throughout the day. They will not be left alone for long periods. Our daily routine includes garden playtime, enrichment and a walk each day, either on or off lead depending on recall ability and your preference. I am flexible with drop off and collection times where possible. Dogs are fed separately to avoid stress, and I can crate your dog if needed. I closely follow owner instructions regarding feeding, routines and medication to ensure your dog feels safe, settled and at home.

“We would definitely use Sarah and John again; we felt very comfortable and happy leaving our house and precious pets in their safe hands for a few days. Sarah sent a few photos and updates showing both pets looking happy and relaxed which was really appreciated and put our minds at ease. John watered the garden too, which was really appreciated especially in this hot weather. From the meet and greet to saying goodbye, Sarah and John made the whole experience completely stress free and the most important thing was that both pets looked like they loved being looked after by them.”

“Michaela came to sit for our two little doggies - Ruby and Rolo for two nights. She was so lovely and friendly and the doggies took to her immediately, she has a genuine love for dogs and the outdoors. Our home was super tidy and clean on our return. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Michaela sit for Ruby and Rolo again 🤗 xx”

“Excellent care for Franky - would book again!”

About: Hi everybody! I’ve had my Cavapoo Rolo for 4 years now and the time has completely flown by! Over the years i’ve walked him 3x everyday and have taught him so many skills and we will be entering our first competition in 2026! Over the past year i have also took on caring for my grandmothers golden Labrador as she’s unable to provide walks etc, however still loves him and his company to pieces so i am honoured to be able to keep them together! I’m currently working part time from Fridays through till Sundays so have plenty of quality time and care for your pets. i’m quite an active person in my personal life, so depending on your pets needs, if they need a 2 hour walk or as little as 30 minutes neither will be a challenge. I have a fenced garden and have cctv surrounding the back garden to view. i also have a box for all post etc to not scare or aggravate pets.

About: I have had different breeds in my life and they have always been happy I have trained some dogs into basic skills as of sit, paw, turn around, and whisper Anytime after 3:30 as working in childcare is my main job but always feel like they is some of my time towards animals as that’s what I love Making sure all fencing is secured and doors so they can’t get loose, as hot weather can be a lot for dogs making sure they always have water to remain cool and allowing dogs to be comfortable in their own space

“Our two large dogs were perfectly looked after and had the time of their lives while we were away on holiday! I would 100% recommend Sarah to anyone needing a sitter for their pets. It's such a relief to find someone trustworthy and reliable to look after our dogs!”

“Leah clicked with Carter right away during a visit to get to know him and us before the booking. We had lots of pictures and updates, which was amazing! Would absolutely recommend Leah for looking after all kinds of pets, big, small and anything in between!”
