House Sitting Diss

About: I have owned cats all my life, from very sociable, playful cats, to timid, shy and anxious cats. I currently have two gorgeous bengal savannah cross kittens at home that are 4 months old. I know how important it is to make sure that even when we go away, and get that kitty parent guilt, there is someone to give that love and attention to your fur babies.

“Highly recommend Mia for looking after your dog, I got regular updates with photos and a happy dog when I got back, our home had also been looked after and was just as we left it. Will definitely use Mia again”

“Danielle was absolutely amazing looking after our Frenchie, Buster, while we had to rush our other Frenchie, Remi to the emergency hospital. It was a very stressful time for us, but knowing Buster was in such caring hands gave us real peace of mind. She was incredibly friendly, kind, and patient, making sure Buster felt calm, comfortable, and relaxed throughout her stay. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and treated him like one of her own. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter during such a difficult situation. Many thanks Danielle 🐾 🐾”

“Julie house sat for us while we were gone for 4 days. She was able to manage both of our high energy dogs on daily walks and made an effort to stick to their normal routine. I would recommend her for anybody looking for pet care and will definitely use her again when we go out of town!”

“Brilliant! Georgia looked after our saluki greyhound for 9 nights when we went to Greece. We came back to a happy, well looked after dog and a beautifully tidy and clean house. Thank you so much Georgia - it was so lovely to have you look after Farley and our house when we were away. 100% recommend!”

About: • I'm an experienced live-in dog and house sitter who offers calm, consistent care, particularly for nervous, sensitive or rescue dogs who need patience and reassurance while their owners are away. • I've gained my experience through many successful house and pet sits, both independently and through TrustedHousesitters (where owners have consistently left excellent reviews). • Some dogs make friends straight away. Others need a little more time. I enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual and helping them feel safe, comfortable and settled while you're away. • I work online (part-time), so I can fit around your dog's routine and spend much of the day at home. This is ideal for dogs who are used to having company or who need a little longer to settle. • I love being outdoors and usually walk twice a day myself. Whether your dog enjoys long adventures or prefers a gentle sniff around the neighbourhood, I'm happy to adapt to whatever suits them best. • I always stick as closely as possible to your dog's normal routine, whether that's favourite walking routes, regular mealtimes or simply having a cuddle on the sofa. • I'm based in Colchester and regularly travel throughout London and the South East, with availability across the UK for longer bookings. • I've completed Canine First Aid training and I'm continuing to learn more about canine behaviour and body language because I genuinely enjoy understanding what makes each dog tick. • One of the reasons I started house and pet sitting is that my own rescue dog had such a lasting impact on me. She taught me the value of patience and consistency. After she died, I wasn't ready for another dog of my own, and looking after other people's dogs became a way to stay connected to the animals I love. • I know it's hard leaving your dog with someone new. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your trip, and I'll always ask how often you'd like to hear from me. * I work online, so I can fit around your dog's routine and spend much of the day at home with them. * Morning walks, longer afternoon adventures or evening strolls, I can easily adapt to whatever routine your dog is used to. * I try to keep life as familiar as possible while you're away, so I do my best to follow your dog's usual routine for walks, meals, playtime and downtime. * I offer live-in dog and house sitting for overnight stays, weekends, holidays and longer bookings throughout the year. * Before a sit, I like to arrange a quick video call so we can chat through your dog's routine and make sure you feel completely comfortable before you head away. * Before each sit, I take the time to understand your dog's usual routine, from walks and mealtimes to favourite sleeping spots and the little things that help them feel settled. * I work online part-time, so I'm able to spend much of the day at home, providing companionship and helping your dog settle into their usual routine. * I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages while you're away. I'll also ask how often you'd like to hear from me, so you can choose the level of contact that feels right for you. * I genuinely enjoy looking after people's homes and take pride in treating every property with the same care and respect I would my own. I see myself as a temporary guardian of your home as well as your dog, and I always leave everything exactly as I found it.

“Allana looked after our dogs for the first time recently. Allana had arranged to meet the dogs & us beforehand to ensure we were all happy. On the day, Allana was very punctual & our dogs were happy to see her. She sent lots of photos throughout the day, they looked like they were having great fun & reassuring for us! They both slept all evening so they must have had lots of fun playing! They loved her!! Will definitely use Allana again & recommend. 😀”

About: I am an avid animal lover. I love to be outside in nature and will regularly take your dog to the beach/forest/long walks (with your permission) . I will send you photo/video updates to ensure you know your dog is being looked after correctly. I am currently lucky enough to not have to work so I have plenty of free time to make time/play with your best friend! I’m extremely flexible. I do around 10-16 thousand steps a day. You will be asked for your email address once booking is confirmed to fill out if you are a new client. This is to ensure your dog gets the correct care and is looked after to the best of my ability. If your dog wants to come on a mini holiday they can stay over for lots of attention and lots of extra strokes and treats are a given. I'm happy to send photos/feedback from other clients.

“Paula was so very kind and caring towards our cat and helped very much even when he was unwell. She kept in touch and sent pictures and videos of him. We were so grateful to have her here with him for peace of mind. She even cleaned the house before leaving which was so thoughtful. We will definitely use her again in the future.”

About: I had my own pet sitting business based in Winchester pre-covid. I have looked after groups of up to 8 large dogs for weeks at a time and have always dog walked. I have my own dog which I share with an ex-partner therefore will be available during the times I am not looking after him. I currently work full time, however I have the freedom to work from home and manage my hours therefore I have time to stay at the property all day or pop back and forth should I need to attend the office. I drive and can manage any pet sitting jobs needed around the times of having my own dog. When staying at a pet owners home, ideally I want to stick to the same routine as you in order to now upset your pets in anyway, I am happy to discuss with you any routines and make sure I have clear feeding/medication instructions.

About: I’ve owned dogs and other animals my whole life, training them from both 8 week old puppies and rescue dogs of various ages. I currently don’t have the capacity to own my own pet but still want that unconditional human animal interaction. I’m more than happy to train young pets and take your pets on as long a walk as you’d like. I’m new to the pet sitter career but I’ve been looking after pets unpaid my whole life. I also work in conservation so my heart is in animals and wildlife. I’m currently working 9-5 weekdays in conservation but I can give my whole weekend and Friday evening to your dog, taking it on walks, training it or just letting it chill out. I live in a very quiet area with my partner with a garden and a big green behind my house. Your dog would even have its own sanctuary bedroom for it to have some of its own time to decompress if needed. I have a fenced garden but unfortunately not dog proof yet but I can take your dog on plenty of walks and runs and out on the village green on a lead. Your dog would be my main priority and I wouldn’t leave it alone if you didn’t want me to.

About: Since the age of 13 I have looked after friends and families pets from cats, dogs, horses, rabbits and guinea pigs. Between the ages of 18-21 I worked off recommendations for house sits and now that I work fully remote I have the opportunity to be available throughout the day. I can provide many recommendations for peace of mind for overnight house sits, drop ins and walks 🐶 Im currently self employed as a social media manager and photographer so I have lots of time spent at my laptop at home. This way I can be entirely flexible around you and your beloved pets needs! In my own home I currently have no pets of my own so they will be my sole focus, with a fenced in garden. In your own home I will stay in constant communication with you and run through everything so we are both happy we will be keeping your family member safe

About: I’ve had dogs all my life from Dachshunds and terriers through to rescues and Labradors. I’ve recently retired and lost my companion Charlie so I’m hoping to invest my love in your precious one now. I’m recently retired so expect to spend all day with your pet, making them part of my life while they are with me. I live in a city centre maisonette and have a small secure outside space for fresh air, but there are also parks near me and all the smells and excitement of the city. I follow whatever exercise routine and rules you have at home. Pets can come on the sofa for cuddles if you allow that, and can either sleep downstairs or upstairs on the bed with me.

About: I have been my family’s designated dog sitter for just under 10 years, I will show your pup (all dogs are puppies in my eyes) as much love as if they are my own ensuring all their needs are met and they are given all the love and attention that they need. I have the flexibility to work from home 4/5 days a week and can be there to let your furry friend out and interact thought the day. My weekends are usually free so the days will be spend with your dog. I will care for your dog within their own environment to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. Which I hope will limit any extra stress
