“Evie is a fab, organised sitter! Ollie is a rescue and can be nervous with people but he took to Evie straight away and was happy to head out on a walk with her! Evie's flexibility and care is just what we needed so have gone ahead and booked more dates with her!”

“What a delight meeting Claire… an absolutely lovely lady who made an immediate connection with our 14 month old Labrador, Bertie. Just a 1 hour walking session booked this time following shady paths through our village and in our garden due to very hot conditions but it was clear that Bertie was in very safe hands. Thank you so much Claire!”

About: I started taking care of dogs when I lived in Australia as a way to travel the country, and fell in love! I’m back home now and keen to meet new dogs and people. I work part time at a cafe from 11-4:30, so I have time in the mornings and late afternoon for walks, feeding, toilet time or just to hang out and play! I’m also free every weekend. I will not be able to look after dogs in my own home unfortunately so will not be able to answer this question at this current time.

“Professional, trust worthy and friendly. Sent lots of pictures and updates on Bruno’s walks. Thanks so much 😊”

About: My love for dogs started where my family kept our family horses, there were 3 dogs (beagle, springer & Romanian rescue) so I spent lots of time with the dogs. In 2021 I began a role as a Theatre Technician for a Veterinary referral hospital where I primarily looked after sterile services for the hospital but around this, I assisted the nurses and surgeons in caring for dogs in other areas of the practice of all sizes up to Great Danes and Bernese Mountains dogs! Since, I have done 21 sits through Trusted House Sitters, of which, 12 were dog sits. I am happy to share my 5 star reviews from these. I have sat for a range of dog breeds such as Poodles, Chihuahuas, Chow Chow, Husky, Dalmation, Pomeranian, Corgi, Greyhounds and more! Through house sitting I have looked after dogs with special requirements such as post spinal surgery. I have completed my pet first aid course.

Midweek I am available from 5pm onwards but I am willing to consider care outside of these times if I have prior warning. Holiday rate (Double Rate) applies for overnight sits going into and on the night of Bank Holidays & between the 22 December - 4th January. Rover does not let you specify dates for holiday rates, please note I will manually change the rate to reflect bank holiday rates upon booking request. I will often come to house sit with my husband who:

- Looks after his mums Bengal cat when she is away so is used to raw feed routines and unique species of cats.

Tom is happy to meet pet parents before a sit too. Please let me know if Tom coming with me to a sit will be an issue before booking / commencement of the sit. I have done various care routines for these house sits so I am comfortable with raw or specialist feeding routines; walks up to 3 dogs at a time, crating, commands/ instructions and care of any injuries as well as administering medication. I am happy to provide updates morning and evening.

About: It has been my wish to keep dogs as my pets. Also I looked after a British Shorthair kitten when she was for my friend. I have been learning from them and hoping to meet more pets so that I can gain more experience taking care of and playing with dogs and cats of different breeds, ages and personalities. I am currently working part time from home and mostly spending time with my 3 young fur friends so I can have some extra time to take care of your pups/kittens:) My schedule is quite flexible so I may be able to accommodate appointments with short notice, though I would prefer booking in advance which would be easier for me to plan ahead. I have a fenced garden, and 2 puppies (my cockapoo is particularly outgoing and loves making friends with people and animals) and 1 kitten to keep your fur babies accompanied. I also have 2 crates so if you'd like to have your fur babies crated that would be fine as well. Alternatively, I can have my pets crated if it is preferred (they are used to be in crates). I also have a garden house which my cat mainly lives in and have a couple of cat furniture there that may be suitable for your cats as well.

About: Hi! 👋 A little bit about me…I’ve grown up with animals in my life and have had pets since age of 5. Growing up on a farm, I’ve always naturally had an affinity for animals. I have experience looking after kittens, puppies, cats as well as dogs. I have been trusted to dog sit for friends and family for most of my adult life, but have been doing so professionally for the last few years. If you have any questions at all - feel free to message me. I currently work from home so have now got increased capacity to make weekly trips to look after other peoples pets. Hence I am opening my availability up to provide care for more pets. Caring for each pet is different and I am more than happy to meet requirements of each pet’s specific needs and routine alongside providing a watchful eye and fulfilling their personal interactive needs such as cuddles/petting, treats, and continuing their training as requested.

“Maisie is very professional and came to meet our dog the day before his walk. She sent pictures from the walk and our dog came back happy and tired. Will definitely use Maisie again. Thanks ☺️”

About: Myself and Katie have grown up with family dogs. Whilst we are unable to commit to having our own fur baby full time, we would love to welcome yours for a short stay. Let us know their preferences and routine, we are happy to follow that to make them feel as comfortable as possible. We adapt our walks to your dogs needs whether that’s a short mooch around the block, a sniff in the woods, or a treck in the peaks. Our home is quiet and snuggly, and adult only. There is space indoors and a grass enclosed garden at the back. Our home would become theirs. We will share regularly updates and pictures with you as to how your fur-baby is getting along. Any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch! As we currently work full time, we can offer weekend boarding and midweek walks in the evening. Half term and school holidays we are fully flexible and have far greater availability. We have a quiet household with no other pets or children. We have an enclosed grassed back garden, with a woodland area just on our doorstep.

About: Since a child I have always had pets. I’ve had dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters and fish. The home is not the same without a pet. I currently have an indoor rabbit and often look after my mums cocker spaniel. I work in term time as a teaching assistant three days a week but I am available after work on those days, I am available at weekends and anytime throughout the school holidays. I have pet sat for many friends and family since I was 14, including dogs, cats and rabbits. This has involved, walking, feeding, cleaning out and spending lots of time with them whilst their owner is out for the night or away on holiday. I absolutely love spending time with animals and I’ve always been comfortable around all animals.

About: Im Highly Experienced in large breeds though specialising in German Shepherds & Siberian Huskies. First aid trained Access to large garden with toys Three loving huskies to play/socialise with amazing temperament to both Males & females. I always do a pre meet up at mine before taking on any sitting request. I work from home so have plenty of time to socialise and walk any dog in my care. Will always have access to the garden and forest walks around my area. I have a 7ft secure fenced garden protecting any dog from escaping. Crates if a dog needs any time to themselves for peace away from other dogs here.

About: I’ve taken care of a range of animals my whole life, my neighbours have asked me to take care of their pets ranging from a quick pop in to feed the cat, a lap round the village with the dog, putting the geese away at night and dog sat for many an evening. I am a student who has just moved home from university and am writing my dissertation so I have a very free and open schedule at the moment. I ensure that I have asked the owners all necessary questions in order to feel comfortable with the animal and ensure I can provide them with the very best care.
