House Sitting Downham Market

“Ellie was really lovely, and accommodating - doing a last minute sit for me when I was going to stay with a friend. I never met her as she had to complete her work day before coming, but she found her way in smoothly and everything went blissfully. She sent me regular updates every couple of hours - unusually frequent, and I really enjoyed seeing my two having a good time - a little tug at the heart strings and a feeling of love every time I got a new photo. I’ve asked my usual sitters to send more frequent updates now! I’d thoroughly recommend Ellie and would have her back in a heartbeat! Thank you Ellie, from Sandra, Yola and Flo ☺️🐾🐾”

“Emily is such a kind person, we are very comfortable to leave our Mia with her. So thankful she could look after Mia when we had a long day-out, and we will be using her services very soon as we're going away for a few days. Our dog is anxious and she needs extra love and attention that Emily is happy to provide ❤️ truly, we could not be happier that we found Emily!”

“Nathan is great, he watched my pup and house sat for 4 days. He took her for walks and sent me updates with pictures daily. My pup seemed very happy when I got home. I would definitely rebook with him again!”

About: I have had a border collie for 13 years, shi tzu for 11 years and chihuahua for 8 years. I have self thought how to teach dogs to listen to me and to behave. My dogs are very good on the lead and at home when I am not there. They know when it is play time because I am given them routine. I love giving cuddles to my dogs. I care for my mums dog always when she is away and my mum always says her dog is coming back with better behaviour. Also, I groom my dogs so if you are interested then we can always talk about it and see what we can do. Looking forward to meeting your pooch. I am working full time Mon to Friday. My routine is always to walked the dogs in the morning for an hour. They get to run off the lead near the river (safe place) and evening time same. If someone is at home then during the day they can go to the garden. On my day off we are walking in the forest for few hours. I have fenced garden and my dogs are friendly with other dogs. During the day they have to be downstairs but night time they can sleep upstairs with me.

“Very much appreciated the patience and care Jon and his wife took whilst looking after Polly. She appreciated the relaxing walks in the orchard near the house and they were very understanding when managing her reactivity. I would absolutely book them again.”

“Cosmo loved Ellana looking after him. She really took care of him when he was under the weather and went above and beyond. She gave us plenty of updates which reassured us, as we hadn't used a sitter before. She also left our house as clean as we left it. Will definitely use her again”

About: I’m an 18-year-old animal lover with many years of experience caring for pets. I have been surrounded by animal my whole life.

About: Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do occasionally — it’s a big part of my life. I’ve grown up around dogs and have gained hands-on experience working in a kennel alongside other experienced dog walkers and trainers, which has given me a good understanding of different breeds, personalities and individual needs. I also have my own working-line Belgian Malinois, who is advanced trained. Living and working with a breed that requires structure, consistency and both mental and physical stimulation has given me valuable experience with training, enrichment and understanding canine behaviour. I’m currently an STSK9 student and working towards graduating in September 2026, so I’m continually developing my knowledge and skills in modern dog training and behaviour. I’m particularly passionate about providing dogs with the right balance of exercise, enrichment, structure and downtime. Most importantly, I genuinely care about the dogs I look after. I take the time to understand each dog as an individual and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, stimulated and loved while they’re in my care. I work with dogs full-time, so caring for dogs is a big part of my everyday life and something I genuinely enjoy. I also have my own Belgian Malinois, who is very friendly and gets on really well with other dogs. We love getting out for long walks and exploring together, so I’m used to keeping dogs active, happy and well cared for. I’d be more than happy to welcome another dog into our routine and give them plenty of attention, company and love while they’re with me. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and settled in my care. As I work with dogs full-time, I’m confident handling different personalities and making sure each dog gets the attention, exercise and routine they need. In my home, I provide a calm and welcoming environment where dogs can relax and feel at home. I also have my own Belgian Malinois, who is very friendly and great with other dogs and who is crate trained indoors/overnight. I’m happy to adapt to each pet’s individual routine, including their feeding, walks, playtime and any specific needs. I have a nice spacious back garden which is fully fenced (6 ft) and provide fun activities out there for the dogs.

“Oscar has great communication, he accepted our request at very short notice due to change in plans. The introduction was smooth, on the day he was there on time as promised. He kept us updated constantly and our Fudge seemed happy at the end of the day. Thanks 🙏🏼”
