House Sitting Ellington

“Lucy stayed at my home and looked after my two dogs while I went away. She was amazing and kept me updated on how things were going and answered messages quickly. I would definitely recommend Lucy to anyone. She is amazing. Thank you so much.”

“I met with Grace for a meet and greet, Grace was a very polite young lady, asked lots of questions about how to best look after my babies, I left the meet and greet with a very good feeling, on the days Grace looked after my babies in my own home, she did an amazing job, she took very good care of them, and even still sent a message of things she wasn't sure about, Grace sent videos of walking them I would definitely book again in the future with Grace and highly recommend her for looking after your babies”

About: Hello, I'm Vicky, owner of 2 cats, Owen & Ruby. They're brother and sister, one rules upstairs and the other downstairs! I’ve been around cats almost my whole life, from getting my first one at 12 years old and looking after neighbours' and family cats before then. I am currently on maternity leave & may need to bring my baby with me. If you have any questions, please ask!

About: I am a long-time cat owner and animal lover living in North East England. I am currently studying as a fine art student, but in my spare time I like to offer my services as a dedicated cat carer. I love cats for their independent and unpredictable personalities, as well as the truly unique love that they offer to the humans who care for them. I have owned cats since I was eight years old and currently have a little black moggy living with me.

About: I feel like i was a cat in a previous life. They mean everything to me. I have had cats & dogs all of my life and iv worked in a cat rescue centre which i Absolutely LOVED !!

“It was really reassuring to have Eva looking after Hamish at home while we enjoyed a day out. She kept us updated and took Hamish for a long walk. Everything was in perfect order when we got home.”

About: I love looking after dogs and am always the go to dog sitter out of all my friends. I have been a dog owner myself, and love caring for dogs. I love all animals, and I'm happy to do drop-ins for any type of animal - other than spiders, I'm terrified of them! I work full time from home so will have lots of availability to support during the week and I am around on some weekends too. I have a fenced garden that is very secure so the dogs will have lots of opportunity to go outside. Adult only home with no other animals.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats since I was a baby. Growing up my grandparents also owned parrots, bunnies, dogs of all sizes, cats, tortoises, fish, you name it…my parents always had dogs and cats. I also owned a dog for 11 years. I feel most comfortable around animals :) Being an older sister of 3, I grew up being the responsible one, caretaker and I’d also walk the dogs, train them, feed them and help my parents in any way I could. When I adopted my first own dog, I learned how much love I have to give and how much responsibility it takes to look after a furbaby. He was very anxious and reactive, so it was 11 years of learning and challenges, but he was the sweetest and goodest boy, right up until the end. I’m currently working full-time. For now I’m looking to combine my love for animals and building up a side income during my free time. I’m happy to look after and walk your pets during my free time on the weekends. I can drive which allows me to get to places a bit further out. I cannot have pets in my own home sadly. However, I’m happy to come in and check on your kitten or pooch while you’re away. I can also pet sit if needed and play with, feed and walk your dogs. I can also train and teach your dog (or cat, if they feel like it haha) some tricks. Work on their confidence by using gentle rewards and lots of patience on their walks. I have experience with reactive dogs and I know how important it is to maintain comfort and special care for the sensitive pups.

“Rachel was fantastic with Bryn and kept me updated, throughout the day!”

“Louise was fantastic! She made an instant connection with Terri, which immediately put us at ease. As it was our first time using a puppy sitter service, we really appreciated how friendly, professional and experienced she was. Louise kept us updated with regular messages and photos while we were out, which was so reassuring. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience and would highly recommend her. Thank you so much, Louise!”

“What a shame there are only 5 stars, we’d give Rachael another few! What a joy! We were nervous about our holiday having only moved to the North East from the South Coast 3 weeks prior, with the dogs having gone through a lot of change. Our dogs like routine and one has a bit of anxiety, especially when it comes to separation from us. But Rachael was just absolutely amazing with them and we had trust the second we met her. She was warm and thoughtful in her first meeting with the dogs who can be nervous with new people, but they were fine from the off. On our holiday Rachael took the dogs out on loads of adventures, both local to our home and further afield and we had many PUPdates with pictures and videos of our boys throughout. We could see how comfortable they were in the pics and videos. They looked completely at ease. We arrived back to a spotlessly clean home and two incredibly happy (if not a little exhausted) dogs. We’ve had a few dog walkers and house sitters over the years, Rachael trumps them all. Honestly can’t rate her highly enough and we’re already booked in for future dates. Thanks so much Rachael!”

“Tim was brilliant with Lily who can be difficult sometimes. She instantly took to him. His education and experience working with dogs is evident as he really knows his stuff. Tim came for a visit a few days before house sitting and instantly put me at ease and left me feeling confident that he was the right man to care for our dog and house. We came back to happy dog and a lovely clean house, even the bedding had been washed! I would highly recommend Tim to anybody looking for a dog sitter.”

“João is a fantastic dog sitter! I can't recommend him any more than I have in previous reviews, but he is careful, thoughtful and very reliable”

“Katie was fantastic, she house sat our dog for us and kept us up to date with how he was doing. The house was spotless when we got home as well! We will definitely being asking Katie to house sit again!”

About: Hi! I’m a dog lover and proud owner of a sweet cockapoo puppy girl. I have two wonderful kids, ages 5 and 11, and as a family, we adore spending time with dogs. We’re friendly, caring, and love making furry friends feel at home. Your dog will be treated like part of the family with us! (I can provide my DBS check) Currently I’m working part-time and mostly remotely, so I have free time to care about pets and at the same time enjoy their company. I can take dogs for walks or for a night with us. Also cats are welcome and able to explore my home and even climb on curtains (what some of them like so much). I have a private house with a big fenced garden. Pets are allowed on furniture. My family is very friendly and we have a nice park nearby to take dogs for walks. I always tidy up after and keep my home safe and clean.

“What can I say about the wonderful Craig. Absolutely rescued us by looking after our two dogs during our wedding. One dog is particularly difficult as he has epilepsy, so there’s always the fear of seizures and vet’s trip. Craig accepted to help us when others wouldn’t and we’re so grateful he did. The boys were so well looked after and so happy when we seen them. Craig knew we wanted them to be at the wedding so tried to get some pics in bow ties for us, bought us a wedding card and even helped us to carry some stuff in when we returned. Honestly I can’t praise or thank him enough. Definitely he using Craig again ❤️❤️”

About: I have grown up rurally and have owned or cared for in the past cats, and looked after dogs. I have provided dog walking and company for elderly dogs. I currently don’t have pets and miss the company, so I have set up this new account. I’m looking forward to meeting your dog. :) I work from home flexibly. So any in home care for your pets I will be available all day every day during the week for company. I also walk three times a day and will be happy to adjust my routine to suit pets and personalise their care. I will be available for company all day for your pets. I do not drink alcohol and am a quiet person spending time at home, or in nature. Your pet will have a relaxed time with me with a lot of attention.

About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs since I was a young child. I grew up with collies, lab and staffie mixes, and rescue cats. I currently have a very dog friendly cat if you are looking for some socialisation, but she is equally happy doing her own thing if you would prefer they remain separate. I work from home with access to a secure garden, and woodland walks only a couple of minutes from my house. I'm available all days, evenings and weekends with notice. I have a pet cat who is friendly with dogs, however she has her own secure room in the house where she can retreat to if she needs to. I have a fenced garden and a dog-friendly cat, however she can be secured away in a different part of the house if necessary. I have a crate that can be used if necessary. I drive and I am located within easy reach of several 24 hour veterinary practices.

About: I am intuitive empath with animals and I feel like I can get to know most if not all animals! I learned to ride wild horses in Turkey just through spending time with them. I grew up with dogs, fish, birds, snake, horses, donkey, sheep (my grandpa's farm!). My house in Turkey was the central location for the stray cats in the city. I find animals simple and honest and natural, easier than humans sometimes! I am working freelance as a videographer and networking having moved to UK a few months ago to join my wife, therefore my days are adaptable and I choose (mostly) when I work and when I'm available. Most days after 11 I am available, if you need an earlier slot get in touch and we'll see if we can work it out. I can protect your animal not to fight with other animals in the street, I will keep them away from muck/gross stuff in the street. I will do a health check and report any issues to you.
