House Sitting in Erewash

“She was absolutely amazing in taking care of the cats and the house while we were away. We got daily update with photo and she gave medicine to one of my sick cat on time. I highly recommend her and would love to hire her service again.”

“Emma done a fantastic and professional job looking after our pets and making sure we were kept up to date with how they are and sent all the pictures of them that we needed. Can not recommend Emma enough for anyone who needs peace of mind knowing that their pets will be well looked after and kept safe whilst they are away.”

About: Hi, I’m Ange — a lifelong animal lover, DBS checked, and experienced with pets of all shapes and sizes.
Originally from South Africa, I’ve spent years rescuing and caring for animals, from injured Rottweilers and pot-bellied pigs to leopard geckos and kittens. I also have experience with rabbits, hedgehogs, birds, fish and snakes. I’ve always shared my home and heart with animals, giving them the care, space, and attention they deserve.
When I moved to the UK, I brought along my German Shepherd, Jax. Back in South Africa, Jax and I did obedience and protection training, so I’m comfortable with large breeds and have a good understanding of canine behaviour and training needs.
Whether it’s daily walks, home visits, or overnight stays, your pet will be treated like family. I believe every dog deserves regular exercise, time in nature, and kind, confident care.
✅ Dog walking: 20–90 mins, based on your dog’s age and fitness
✅ Home visits: For feeding, companionship, or medication
✅ Overnight stays: Peace of mind while you’re away
✅ Local off-lead walks available if suitable
Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priority — I’ll make sure they feel calm, secure, and well-loved while in my care.
Let’s chat and arrange a meet-and-greet! I’m currently preparing to start my MSc this autumn and also work part-time, so I’ll have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer pet care during both weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to work around your routine — whether that’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening care. Just let me know what suits you and we can find a time that works for everyone! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, routines, and needs so they feel secure and relaxed in my care. I maintain a calm, positive environment and always follow any instructions you provide — from feeding routines and medication to preferred walking routes or sleeping arrangements. I never rush interactions and always allow pets to approach me at their own pace, building trust naturally. Your pet will be treated with the same love, respect, and attention I give my own. I have an enclosed garden with high walls

“Leah’s first stay with Patches went really, really well. They clearly made firm friends and he was very well looked after. Very happy with Leah as a sitter and will definitely be using again!”

“Lucy was great with our rescue Jack Russell! She came to meet her beforehand, and got along really well with her. Lucy was prompt and good communication throughout, we would definitely love for her to look after Patchy again!”

“Niki did a brilliant job with our two cats, Billy and Pablo. We gave her a challenging situation with an elderly cat who sleeps a lot and a young cat, who loves to play. She asked about their likes and dislikes and how they reacted with one another. Their strong food drive is their only shared trait and Niki fed them separately, in their favourite places, to prevent fighting. She sent photos and updates every day, and the cats looked happy and healthy when we got back. The house was lovely and tidy, too. We'll certainly rebook!”

Andrew V.

“Andreia was friendly and understood our situation. She looked after Maya and our dog seems to enjoy the time with her. I wish Andreia sent us regular updates/pictures, but other than that we definitely recommend her to others!”

“Holly is absolutely amazing. She is the best dog sitter I've ever had, I've not felt this relaxed leaving him ever! She sends so many photos and updates and he was so happy. We got home to a happy and chilled boy who'd clearly been taken very good care of. I cannot recommend Holly enough!”

“Jayne and Bryan are lovely people and I’d 100% recommend them to look after your pets. They stayed at our house with my dog Rupert for 9 days, Rupert had 5 star care, lots of lovely walks, fuss treats and ball play - all his favourite things. Rupert is very dog reactive which is a big worry for me when going away. Jayne listened very carefully to instructions to keep him and other dogs safe when out and about and this made me very much as ease. Jayne provided daily pupdates which lots of photo which was lovely to see everyone enjoying themselves so much. The house was very well looked after and left spotless when I returned, even kept all my plants alive in the scorching heat!! I will definitely be booking Jayne and Bryan again for future trips. Thank you!!!”

“Ciara has recently looked after our rescue staffie Daisy for a couple of days. Communication was great and it was easy to arrange a meet and greet, Ciara arrived in plenty of time for us to leave for work and we felt very confident leaving her in our house. Ciara has experience with her own reactive dog so she immediately understood Daisy's dog reactivity and how to avoid any issues. Daisy was extremely pleased to see her both days and we'd happily recommend her and use her again 🙂.”

“Fantastic services our dogs were so happy and comfortable would book again with ease, photos sent with updates cannot say enough about the service”

About: I have looked after dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs etc from a very young age. I absolutely love animals and it would be a Privelige to look after your pet! :) I drive so am available to commute to your house and collect the dog for a walk or to pet sit if necessary. I also have my own property with a garden so I can have your pet for overnight stays :) I can easily crate a dog if necessary as my Labrador at home tends to be put in a crate when guests visit as she tends to jump up at them

About: I’ve had dogs/cats/horses all my life and very passionate about caring for all pets. I have worked at a dog kennels since I was 13-19 years old as well as completing work experience at a vets so I have a wealth of experience. I have frequently participated in pet sitting for family and friends whilst they have been away as I’m reliable and trusting. I’m a secondary school teacher so available after 5pm on Fridays across anytime at the weekends. I am also free all day anytime during the school holidays e.g half terms and the 6 week summer holidays. I have a large townhouse with plenty of access to lovely walks nearby as well as a fenced garden with patio and grass. Dogs are allowed on furniture too for lots of cuddles and fun play time!

“Kyah had a amazing night, felt reassured that she was safe and happy. Was happy and content when I rtned. Would definitely be a Returning customer on nights out ❤️?”

“Sami looked after Douglas for a night in our house, and Douglas took to Sami straight away, and you could tell that she was going to be great with him. He's an anxious dog and has lots of little quirks, but this didn't seem to worry Sami at all and they had a great time together!”

Simone C.

“Isobel was lovely, really good communicator and very friendly. She was adorable with my dog and he loved her! She kept me up to date with everything throughout the day! I highly recommend and will use her again to look after my fur baby! 🩷”

“Jordan looked after our dog reactive rescue Staffie Daisy at our house for the day while we were out at work and we would definitely recommend her. Daisy immediately liked Jordan (as did we!) and had a lovely day cuddled up on the sofa with her and out on her lunchtime walk. Jordan paid close attention to our training, which is always important to us given Daisy's reactivity and we felt confident leaving her (and our house) in Jordan's care. A meet and greet was easy to arrange and communication was great when booking the date of sitting. We will definitely be asking her to sit again and I'm sure Daisy is looking forward to a repeat visit!”
