House Sitting Ditchingham

“Hannah and her partner Rob are fantastic - super polite, communicative, punctual and took great care of my pup Pickle, and my home of course during my recent night away. Absolutely would recommend and will rebook when I next have need. Thank you both :)”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We honestly couldn’t recommend Rose highly enough! From the moment we booked with her, her communication was fantastic. She kept us updated throughout our time away with regular messages and lots of lovely photos, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. Rose is such a kind, genuine, and lovely girl, and it’s clear she truly loves animals. Our dogs absolutely adored her, and we came home to three very happy pups. She also went completely above and beyond by cleaning the house and even doing the washing before she left, which was such a thoughtful surprise and so appreciated after travelling home. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets as if they were her own, while keeping you updated every step of the way, Rose is the perfect person. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and will definitely be asking her to look after our dogs again. Thank you so much, Rose!”

“Imogen did a brilliant job looking after our Greyhound Bob. I know he was happy because he'd eaten his lunch and he tends to not eat eat when he's anxious. Imogen went above and beyond to organise Bob sitting as I was struggling to find anyone who could do the hours. Would definitely book again and recommend.”

“Jordan was amazing house sitting for us and took such great care of our 3 little dogs! She sent regular updates, photos, took them out on walks and made us feel really as ease knowing our babies were being well taken care of! It’s clear to see the dogs loved her💞”

“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 have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having two of my own dogs and caring for family’s and friends dogs. Unleashing happiness is my own dog walking business and I’m very proud to be doing this full time. I would love for you and your pets to join me and my team on many more adventures. I have a secure house and garden with high fences and a double door lock system on the front and back of the house which will help prevent escape artist. House is also fully fitted with CCTV system. I also provide crates if needed.

About: I have always had a passion for animals, which has led me to gain extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds and personalities. I currently have 6 dogs of my own, with a variety of breeds and ages. I have raised each of them from puppies, giving me first-hand experience of caring for dogs throughout all stages of their lives. This includes puppy care, socialisation, training, adolescence, adult dogs and older dogs. Having multiple dogs with different personalities has also taught me how important it is to understand each individual dog and adapt their care to suit their specific needs. I run my own dog walking and training business Sophie’s Canines & Co, so caring for animals is my career and something I am genuinely passionate about. Through my business, I work with a wide range of dogs on a daily basis and provide dog walking, training walks, 1:1 training sessions, pet sitting and drop-in visits. I regularly work on areas including recall, loose-lead walking, obedience, impulse control, socialisation and gundog training. I also have experience working with dogs with different behaviours, confidence levels and training needs, allowing me to adapt my approach to suit each individual dog. I have plenty of experience providing care in dogs’ own homes, allowing them to remain in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. Alongside my practical experience, I have a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management, which I achieved with a Distinction. My studies gave me a strong understanding of animal biology, behaviour, welfare, health, nutrition, handling and husbandry. I am also DBS checked, fully insured, Level 3 First Aid at Work trained and a higher distinction in Level 4 Canine First Aid. I understand that every pet is different, and I pride myself on providing patient, reliable and individualised care. Whether your dog needs long walks and enrichment, a consistent routine, extra support or simply lots of company and cuddles, I will always put their welfare and happiness first. ❤️🐶 Pet sitting is a big part of my everyday life as it is part of my full-time job. I own and run my own business, Sophie’s Canines & Co., where I provide dog walking, training and pet care services. Because working with animals is my full-time career, I’m able to fit pet sitting around my regular schedule and dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I’m used to planning my days around the needs of the animals in my care and ensuring they receive the attention, exercise and companionship they need. For house sitting, I’m able to stay in your home and work around your pets’ usual routines, helping them feel comfortable and settled while you’re away. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I always aim to keep their routine as normal and consistent as possible. Before any booking, I always offer a free consultation so I can meet you and your pets, get to know them and understand their individual needs and routine. This also gives you the opportunity to ask any questions and make sure you feel completely comfortable leaving your pets in my care. I take the time to understand everything your pet needs, including their feeding times, exercise routine, medication, behaviour, preferences and any specific instructions you have. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, training, feeding, cuddles and companionship, as well as giving pets space when they need it. I understand that staying in their own home can be much less stressful for pets, as they are surrounded by familiar sights, smells and routines. I’ll also make sure your home is kept clean and treated with respect throughout my stay. Most importantly, I provide regular care, attention and reassurance so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are safe, happy and well cared for. 🐾❤️

“We would highly recommend Lauren, turned up on time and Simba was so well looked after. If we are ever back in Loddon again we will definitely book Lauren again”

About: Experienced. Calm around dogs. 121 priority care given. Trustworthy clean & tidy in your home. Meet and greet before service agreed. Feedback provided for your reassurance. I am self employed and dog sitting is what I enjoy most. Can be available full day, overnight. 3-10 nights. Available seven days a week. I can meet your dogs eating, exercise, sleeping needs and some medication administration as discussed and agreed at first meeting. You pet is my priority.

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.

“Florence was amazing, from the initial meeting and throughout the stay she kept us updated. Really looked after all our animals very well, would highly recommend!”

About: Healthcare student, I love what I do working with a variety of people. Outside of work, I’m a huge animal lover. I grew up with two rescue cats who were part of our family for many years.

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.

“Christina was a very professional pet sitter, she looked after our 2 dogs Button, who is a lively 3 year old Cocker Spaniel and our 16 year old Spaniel x Border Pippa. We had daily updates and photos of the dogs at home and out for lovely walks. Christina was experience with older dogs and administered Pippa's daily medication. When we returned home the house was left very clean and tidy. And very happy dogs. We would highly recommend Christina as your pet sitter. Graham and Sheila.”

“Our first booking with Rover and we couldn’t be more impressed with Shirley who was super professional, very easy to get on with and clearly loves animals. Our very elderly dog was so happy to be able to stay at home with such a kind carer Would recommend Shirley to anyone”

About: I originally trained and worked 10 years as a qualified veterinary nurse, caring for both cats and dogs. I developed an interest in dog behaviour, I then retrained to become a certified dog trainer in 2020 and have been a full time dog trainer ever since. I have a passion for gundogs and I am a Spaniel, reactivity and puppy specialist. I have a great passion for helping dogs owners to meet their dogs needs and resolve their behaviour struggles. I am currently in the process of completing a level 6 Diploma in canine clinical behaviour to further expand my business. Dogs and cats in my care will be well understood and looked after. All breeds and temperaments welcome. I am quite flexible with hours and times and happy to do weekends when I’m available. Looking after and training animals is what I do best. All cats and dogs will be kept to their normal routine as much as possible and loved like they were my own pet. Each pet is treated as an individual and all their specific needs will be met.

About: I have looked after many pets in my time from friends to family pets and would like to do it more frequently as a lover of animals. I am out of education and saving up for university in September. I work throughout the week in hospitality so I can work around schedules very easily. As i look after mostly dogs, obviously dependent on the age and breed i will take on daily walks or runs even in parks or beaches near. As my shift schedules are short i spend a lot of time hanging out and playing with pets. I am also extremely active so can made due with whatever needs they may have.
