House Sitting in County of Herefordshire

“We are new to Rover and Jane was our first sitter. We booked her for one night for our two small dogs, she was lovely and Rolo and Ruby were very well cared for. We would not hesitate in asking Jane to sit for us again.”

“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!”

Nikki S.

“Scott communicated clearly all the way up until the booking.He was on time.Responded when we messaged but most importantly our dogs Daisy and Milly enjoyed spending time and the walks with Scott. We will be booking Scott again for.oir next family get away.”

Natalie S.

“Joella was fantastic with our dog and Bracken loved her literally from the second she met her! Communication was great throughout from the meet and greet through to sitting. Our dog came into heat the day before the sit and Joella was totally unfazed and asked lots of good questions about how to look after Bracken. She left the house really tidy for us to return to. We’d recommend her and would love to have her back!”

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: 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!!

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old, I've walked fed and bathed my dog frequently and have also taken care of family's dogs in their homes. Pet care fits into my schedule around my day job. I work in a shop at the moment so my hours are not always the same. However I will try my best to work around whatever works best for you. If I care for pets I would prefer to do it in the owners home as they may not get on with my own pets

“Emma has been fantastic looking after Dexter. It was our first time leaving him with someone other than family and she immediately made us feel relaxed that he would be safe in her hands. Lots of photos and all showing that he was having a great time. Thanks Emma for looking after him - we will definitely book again 😊❤️🐾🐶”

“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”

About: My dog Tucker, is my absolute world! I understand how hard it is to leave them…whether that be for a day or a few weeks! I pride myself on giving your fur babies a home away from home experience and treat them like my own. I have owned dogs, cats, horses and hamsters so I am confident in handling and caring for most animals. I have earned Level 3 in Canine Behaviour, Welfare and Care. I can stop by your home for drop in visits and walks around your local area. If your dog needs to stay at my home, Tucker is a friendly boy and loves having the company…dog or cat; he is not fussy. I work from home and have full flexibility! Weekend care is preferred to be booked in advance. Pick up and drop offs to boarding or appointments is available. I look after all animals with love, like they were my own. Lots of fuss and treats (if allowed of course!!) Your pets usual food will need to be provided with feeding instructions.

“Excellent care for Franky - would book again!”

I’m currently a stay at home mum with a 4 year old so I have plenty of time to look after your pets! I have owned dogs all of my life, and currently have a staffy puppy.

I also live near to wye valley vets should there be any emergency. I also have a baby gate between my living room and kitchen should dogs need separation.

“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 ?”

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

About: We understand from having dogs who do not like being left how important it is to have them cared for in a home environment. Our dog has full run of the house, sleeps on the bed and sofa and has three walks a day. My husband, Mark and I work from home and regularly look after friends pets when they go away from home. Recently, we looked after a springer spaniel for 6 weeks. However, our daughter is a vet so we understand that each dog has different needs and we would maintain any specific routine for your dog. Around 7 in the morning we go for our first walk of the day , then feed breakfast. Then another walk at lunchtime and we finish with an evening walk followed by supper. Our large garden is fully enclosed and dogs are not left on their own. Happy to follow a similar routine to what they have at their home.

About: Hi, I’m passionate about providing loving, reliable care for every dog I look after. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve grown up working with dogs and horses professionally from a young age. I have experience in dog grooming, completed work experience in a veterinary practice, and have spent years around animals of all temperaments, sizes, and breeds. I’ve also been involved in dog agility, which has given me a great understanding of dog behaviour, training, and exercise needs. I understand how important it is to know your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply calm companionship, I’ll always make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and treated like one of my own. I pride myself on being trustworthy, caring, and attentive, and I aim to provide a safe and positive experience for every pet in my care. I’m currently working from home, so I can easily be flexible with your dogs current schedule and their needs, offering interaction with your dog all day and making sure they feel safe and comfortable at my home, whether your dog needs a relaxing visit or more playful experience I can offer it all. I have a fully fenced back garden, and fantastic walking routes surrounding my house including Sugwas pools and beautiful orchards, I’m an avid runner and I’m happy to take them running with me if it suits the needs of your dog.

“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.”
