Pet Sitting Derbyshire Dales

“Evie was an excellent pet sitter for our labrador Pip. She was very helpful before the sit, coming to visit us and Pip at home and always communicated promptly. Evie sent lots of pics and videos of both Pip and our donkeys. I felt very happy knowing she was visiting and spending time with Pip. I would definitely recommend Evie and hopefully use her again in the future”

“Ellie was great. Came round at arranged time for a pre-meet and was very professional and organised gathering the information she needed. She was flexible and accommodating in meeting our cats particular needs and I felt confident entrusting our cat and home to her while we were away. Our cat is quite timid but was a fan of Ellie, choosing to sit in her lap for a cuddle which is rare. Really appreciated the photos to give us peace of mind that our beloved cat was well and happy. We wouldn’t hesitate to use again and to recommend.”

“I would highly recommend Clare! Clare was happy to accommodate a slightly chaotic request for a last minute meet&greet/drop-in. She instantly put me at ease and bonded with my dog Blue. During the drop-in she sent multiple photos and kept me updated. Great communication, 10/10 😊”

About: - I’ve grown up with dogs and have spent years dog sitting for friends and family, so you can expect a calm, confident, and caring pair of hands looking after your pet. - I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone new, which is why I’m always happy to have a phone call beforehand or arrange a meet and greet to make sure you feel completely comfortable. - Growing up, I was kept on my toes by two very strong-willed terriers (including a particularly determined Patterdale … if you know, you know). They’ve given me plenty of hands on experience with lively, intelligent, and sometimes escape-artist dogs, so safety and awareness are always my top priority. - I’ve looked after a wide range of breeds, from Dachshunds and Chihuahuas to Corgis, Retrievers, and Bichon Frisés, and I adapt my care to suit each dog’s individual personality and needs. - For your peace of mind, I am fully insured and take every precaution to ensure your pet’s safety, comfort, and wellbeing at all times. I work from home and I’m my own boss - so my routine is flexible and can adapt around what your dog needs and likes to do! If allowed, I can even take your pet for a dog-friendly ice cream at the local cafe! 🍦 (a 5 minute walk from my home) (For dog sitting) I have a secure, spacious garden for you dogs to roam around. It’s fully patterdale proofed by Zamba, seasoned escape artist! So your dogs will be perfectly safe and secure. And my house is spacious with plenty of room to roam around. There’s no other pets in the house so your dog will have my full attention. My house is a 2 minute walk from the local park and the back garden is surrounded by woodland - so lots of sniffs and it’s a dog’s paradise!

About: I have owned and cared for a variety of different dog breeds over the years and currently run my own business offering dog walking and pet sitting services in the Derbyshire Dales. I also volunteer at a local Animal Rescue Centre as a dog walker. The majority of my experience for home and pet sitting has been for family and friends however recently house/dog sat over a weekend for a Labrador Retriever near Ashbourne. I will also be sitting for a dachshund and cat in Llandeilo for a week in May. I am kind, honest, trustworthy and feel at ease with dogs of all kind and am able to adapt to new surroundings easily. Experienced with: Puppies Senior dogs Administering medication Fully Insured DBS checked Professional Dog Walking Certification Pet First Aid and CPR Qualified Volunteer Dog Walker at Rescue Centre As I am self employed and run my own business I can be flexible with my appointments to fit around potential customers and their needs. Whilst taking care of your dog in your own home I will follow instructions given and ensure that your dog is safe and secure at all times.

“I felt confident i was leaving my cat in safe hands. Sue went over and above to ensure her needs were met.”

About: I have always been a dog lover. I have a dog called Baxter who is 8 years old. He’s a large breed and I have looked after him since he was a little puppy. He’s energetic and forgets how big he is sometimes, so I know how to handle larger breeds. I am also making excuses up to go see my friends dogs, which range from tiny toy poodles to massive huskies. I am able to do any time any day of the week unless I have time booked off. My schedule is pretty much empty. :) I am flexible to suit your pets routine, whilst also respecting your house rules (no dogs on the sofa etc). I will ensure any messy your fur baby has made whilst I am there will be cleaned up and I will communicate with you with updates and reassurance.

About: I have several years of experience with pets, mostly dogs but also small animals and cats. I have two family dogs that are working spaniels, so I’m used to high energy and finding ways to stimulate them! I also have experience with senior dogs and blind dogs, I am able to administer medication, give extra attention and any additional needs. I have also done volunteer days at different animal charities in which dog walking was a large part of - I have worked with dogs in muzzles, different behaviors and temperaments. Charity days also largely consist of cat sitting and socializing so I can also offer drop in visits to cats for playtime/feeding etc! This also applies to small animals - having two guinea pigs myself that are spoilt, I am more than happy to pop into your smaller pets for a check up / feed and snuggle! I work for a pet retailer, so my experience with pet handling and knowledge around pets is second to none. I would love to walk / pet sit during my time off as it fills my days! I do currently work in retail management. But would love the opportunity to start looking after pets with my time, I am quite flexible due to working shifts also. I can easily use a crate and have experience with crate training. The garden is secure and house is secure. I would recommend a good quality lead and harness for walks.

“Megan was amazing with my new puppy during her puppy drop in visits. She sat with her and implemented the same commands that I told her I had been using . She made sure the house was secured upon exiting and my puppy would forward to her coming in. Thanks again Megan”

About: I have had and looked after many animals (mainly rescues) since I could walk. I have extensive experience with dogs and have grown up around cats. I have been pet sitting in Melbourne Australia for the last 3 years and love working with my clients regularly to help their dogs feel settled while they are away. I have worked with all sorts of dogs from chilled out sleepy pooches to angsty or nervous pets! I am currently work part time with some study online, which can be done from home. My shifts are normally only a maximum of 5 hours as I work as a personal trainer, so your pet wouldn’t be on its own for long! I don’t offer dog sitting in my own home as I have a rescue dog who is not great with new dogs. However in your home I promise to leave it clean and tidy and make sure your pet gets all the attention and walks or pets they need!

About: 2 previous dogs (Border Collies) from ~6 weeks old. Dog owner for 30 years and lots of previous dog sitting including multiple puppies! Experience from house-sitting with pets all over the world, but now settled in Sheffield. My girlfriend and I both work from home, so we're often available throughout the week. We're also self employed and have flexible schedules. We go on regular daily walks, so a dog or two tagging along would be no problem at all! Different owners have different requirements and special needs. We'll find out how they're trained, fed, held etc. Otherwise, they'll get lots of interaction and exercise through walks, plays, and cuddles!

About: Hi, I’m Chloe! I have been around dogs and my family dog for 15 years. I’ve actively helped train a puppy and also cared for my senior dog, so I’m comfortable with different ages and needs. I’m patient, caring, and genuinely love spending time with dogs. I’m happy to adjust to what your dog needs. Wether that’s relaxing at home, sticking to their routine, or getting out for walks and fresh air. Your dog will be treated like one of our own while they’re with me. I work in the office Monday–Friday, so I’m available in the evenings on weekdays. On weekends, I am fully available to care for dogs. Wether that be energetic and lots of exercise or relaxing on the sofa I have a gated garden with grass, a park just down the road, and space for a crate in our home. I don’t have a dog of my own, so dogs with behavioural issues around other dogs aren’t a problem. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my priority.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I have 2 cats and a dog currently. I got my dog 4 years ago. I trained him from a puppy. I have a level 3 degree in animal management and also volunteering experience in a vets practice. I have a massive heart for all animals big or small. I am currently working part-time so have plenty of time to look after all pups and kittens. I will work my pet sitting around my hours at work but since I only work part time I have loads of time to spare. I take my dog for walks everyday but due to him loving his sleep he sleeps most of the day. Due to me not offering pet sitting in my home. I will feed, sit, play and walk dogs and cats from the comfort of owners homes. Since being around dogs and carts nearly my whole life I have loads of experience of how to properly take care of animals.

“Sue dropped by to look after our two cats after our original plans fell through and we needed someone urgently. We’re so thankful that Sue was able to work around our times at such late notice. We also got updates from visits and everything was left tidy for when we got back, thank you!”

About: Hello! I’m Brigid. I’m currently having a break from work, but can’t pull myself away totally, so am offering some pet sitting and dog walking hours. By nature of the job, I’m an all animals type of person, but have a particular soft spot for the kitties. Please note that whilst I am a fully qualified vet, I will not provide any veterinary work, perform any clinical exams, or give any veterinary advice. For me to do the aforementioned is neither legal nor ethical. What I can offer is peace of mind for you if you have a pet with a medical condition and needs specific treatment administering, eg diabetics requiring injections, or pets with dry eye. My day to day work is keeping animals happy and healthy, detecting potential medical problems, and administering medications. I do sadly have lots of experience performing CPR in emergency situations, and am full capable of performing first aid in order to get your pet to their registered vet. If I decide your pet ever needs to be seen by their registered veterinarian, I will contact you immediately. I will be available most days, including the Christmas period and weekends. I’m an active walker regardless, and have lots of routes I can take your little one on with me. All whilst taking care of my own cat, Witchwitton! I currently cannot look after pets within my own home. All pet sits would need to occur within your home, but I am open to visiting multiple times a day or staying longer hours.

“Gypsy is an absolute sweetheart! I felt so safe knowing she was taking care of my babies for me! Gypsy gave the most incredible and cute updates about my cats while I was away. I’m so thankful to have had such a lovely and caring sitter! Highly recommend their service❤️”

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.
