House Sitting Gedling

“Lucy was wonderful. Communication and planning was easy, and I felt like Otis was in great hands. He definitely had a lovely time. I‘ve already rebooked her for another house sit :)”

“Ruby looked after our two year old cairn terrier really well, Izzi loved her! She left the house nice and clean and it was a pleasure to have her to stay with Izzi when we were away.”

About: Hi, I'm Lorna-Rose! I've always loved dogs and being around them. Unfortunately, I can't have one of my own at the moment because I still live with my parents, so dog walking and pet sitting is the perfect way for me to spend time with them while helping other owners. I work from home, which means I can provide your dog with plenty of company, attention and care throughout the day rather than leaving them home alone. Whether they enjoy playing, snoozing beside me while I work, or heading out for walks, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, happy and loved. I'm a very active person and enjoy getting outdoors every day. I regularly go for walks on my lunch breaks and again after work, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and fresh air. I'm also the go-to dog sitter in my family! I've looked after my brother's two greyhounds for six weeks while he was away on his honeymoon, and I continue to care for them for weeks at a time throughout the year. On top of that, I've looked after several of my cousins' dogs while they've been on holiday, so I'm comfortable caring for different breeds, personalities and routines. I understand that every dog is unique, and I'll always take the time to learn their individual needs, whether that's energetic adventures, slower strolls, playtime or simply lots of cuddles. I'll treat your dog as if they were my own and make sure they're safe, happy and well cared for while you're away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I'll always keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! I have a flexible schedule and am happy to provide dog sitting throughout the week and weekends. As I work from home, I can offer plenty of company and attention during the day. For dog walking, I’m available on weekdays before 8am, during my lunch break, or in the evenings after work. I’m also available for longer walks and visits at weekends. Your dog’s safety, happiness and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll take the time to understand their routine, personality and any specific needs so I can make their stay as familiar as possible. I’m happy to follow the same schedule and routines they have at home, including any rules around furniture or sleeping arrangements (if they’re allowed in the bed at home, they’re welcome to have cuddles with me!). As I work from home, your dog will have plenty of company throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long periods. I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos, my family often jokes they get bombarded with pictures of all the dogs I look after!

“Tim was absolutely awesome with our old & sometimes grumpy border collie Buca. He came a couple of times to spend time with him before he moved in for a week. We received regular photos and videos whilst we were away & Buca was having a great time. We'll certainly use Tim again. More than happy to recommend!”

About: Me and my partner, Myles, are lifelong dog lovers and the designated dog sitters for all of our family and friends, now looking to open our home up to more dogs. After losing our senior rescue chihuahua last year, our house feels very empty without the pitter patter of paws following us around! We have many years of experience with a vast array of breeds and ages and I have also previously volunteered at a doggy daycare centre. We really do just love dogs of all sizes, shapes, temperaments and age and we would love to take care of yours! Please send me a message for more info about me or if you have any questions. I work from home on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays and Myles works from home all week. We are free most evenings and weekends and available for long-term boarding We live in a semi detached house which your dog would have free roam of and a secure fenced off yard. We already have many dog beds and blankets for your dog to get comfy in, along with a few sofas and an armchair that they would be welcome to take a snooze on. Your dog will never be left alone in the house, we understand it may take time for some dogs to trust new people and we are experienced and knowledgeable on building up trust safely with new dogs. Your dog will never feel pressured by us, and in turn we hope this means you will trust us with your dogs too!

“We could not be more grateful to Rachel. She was so wonderful with our staffy Ziggy, so respectful to our home and even did some training with Ziggy. Rachel sent lots and lots of updates and photos throughout the stay too and truly made us feel at such ease. I would HIGHLY recommend Rachel to look after your pet ❤️”

“It was a pleasure to have Cara looking after Zeeno and Loki! They were very happy when we got home and communication with Care was easy . Thanks Cara for your help and we would love to use you again if needed!”

About: Since being a little girl, I have found so much peace being among animals. I have owned nearly every furry under the sun (dogs, cats, rabbits, guineas, mice, hamsters and more!) and love the unique personality each animal has. I have a soft spot for rescues, most of my pets have been strays and love being able to show them that the world can be a good place with the right people in it! A few years of my working life was spent in a kennels and cattery, and have recently been running a Nature School for children, where we explore and care for wildlife, animals and the world around us. It has been great to pass on my love for the animal world, to the next generation. All ages and stages of life are welcome, from pups and kittens, right through to the OAPs - and the care I offer is tailored to each animal as an individual. I will ensure I follow your instructions and care plan to ensure everyone is as happy as they can be. I've spent my entire life working with animals and children - and yes maybe you do need to be a little crazy to do that! But I do thoroughly enjoy the chaos and pure love they bring everyday. I'd be honoured to care for your beloved pets, and give you peace of mind for when you can't be there. From July, I will be working from home, so can offer the flexibility you desire. I have my children's school run twice a day, so have ample time between 9am and 3.30pm to accommodate your furry friends. I will also be available most evenings for later visits and walks if required. Weekends I can also be flexible. My large car can fit any size dog in, so can drive to green spaces for walks if desired! I have a large tiered garden, consisting of artificial turf, a bark area and decking. The house is a detached 3 bed, with 2 downstairs sitting areas, so your pets have plenty to of space to choose where they feel most comfortable.During warm weather, dogs can access an outdoor animal friendly paddling pool, and our outside space has plenty of trees to provide natural shade and a cooler temperature.

“A really positive experience. Sarah looked after our dog and house well. She followed our instructions regarding food and walks which is important to us. Sarah is friendly and communicated well. I'm happy to rebook.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my day-to-day life. I currently have a young greyhound puppy of my own, which has given me plenty of recent hands-on experience with puppy care, including toilet training, lead walking, building confidence, establishing routines and positive reinforcement. My family dog is now a senior, so I also have experience caring for older dogs and understand that they can require a gentler pace, extra patience and care tailored to their individual needs. I’m also a cat owner to my 3-year-old cat, Spot, who I’ve had since he was a kitten. This has given me experience with both kitten and adult cat care, so I’m very comfortable looking after both dogs and cats. Having pets of my own means I completely understand how important it is to trust the person caring for them. I’m patient, reliable and attentive, and I’ll always treat someone else’s pet as I would my own. I’m happy to follow their usual routines, accommodate individual needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection and reassurance while in my care. Pet care already plays a big part in my everyday routine as I have pets of my own, so fitting walks, drop-ins and pet sitting into my week comes very naturally. I’m organised and flexible with my time and will always make sure I have plenty of time for each pet, rather than rushing visits. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual feeding, walking and toilet routine wherever possible, as I know how important consistency can be for keeping them happy and settled. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll follow your instructions closely and respect their existing routine, environment and boundaries. I’ll take the time to get to know their personality and allow nervous or shy pets to approach me at their own pace. On walks, I’ll keep dogs securely on lead unless specifically agreed otherwise and pay close attention to their behaviour, surroundings and interactions with other dogs. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy and receiving plenty of attention and affection while they’re with me. 🐾

“Arrived on tim, very satisfied with Kirsty looking after our do”

“On returning home after my trip, I came back to a very happy, healthy, well fed Mopsy. As usual Yeru has done a fine job. I feel she may have struggled a little with uni work, and looking after Mopsy, but that is my fault really, as I have her virtually no notice. I think it may have only been four days, but if she hadn’t stepped up, I would have had to cancel my trip, as there’s no one else, I’d be happy to trust with my dog. I’d throughly recommend Yeru, and hope she is available in the summer, when I go on holiday again. 🤞”

About: I've taken care of other people's pets from a teenager until now. I don't have my own pets so lovely to have the opportunity to spend time with yours! I am looking at this being my full time job so rest assured I will be able to stick with whatever your normal routine is with your fur babies. As I will be looking after your pets in your home, I am happy for you to walk me through your daily routine and how things are usually done.

About: 🐾 About Me Hi! I’m Hayley, and I offer loving, reliable dog boarding and daycare in a safe, calm home environment 🐾 I live with my mum in a pet-friendly maisonette with a fully fenced grass garden — perfect for playtime, toilet breaks, and relaxing outdoors. Between us, we both work hybrid jobs, which means someone is always home all day, every day, so your dog will never be left alone for long periods. We’ve been dog owners and lovers all our lives, and currently have a friendly chihuahua called Peach, who is 10 and very used to having other dogs around. 🐶 Experience I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I share a husky called Clover (2 years old), who I raised from a puppy, so I’m very comfortable with larger, high-energy breeds as well as puppy training and routines. Before that, I had a Westie called George who lived to 14, so I also understand the extra care, patience, and attention that senior dogs need. This mix of experience means I’m confident adapting to different temperaments — whether that’s playful, nervous, energetic, or more relaxed dogs. (I’ll always let you know in advance if Clover is staying, so you can decide what’s best for your dog.) 🐶 What You Can Expect Your dog will be treated like part of the family — not just a guest 💛 I’ll follow your routine as closely as possible, including: Feeding schedules Walk routines Sleep preferences Any little quirks or habits There’s always time for attention, play, and cuddles throughout the day, plus access to our secure garden. 🏡 Home Environment Fully fenced grass garden 🌿 Calm, cosy home setting Someone always home Safe, supervised interactions with other dogs To keep things comfortable in our space, we currently accept small to medium-sized dogs. ❤️ Why Choose Me? Constant supervision — no long periods alone Experience with puppies, seniors & larger breeds Genuine, lifelong dog lovers Safe, enclosed outdoor space Regular updates for peace of mind I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone, so I’m always happy to arrange a meet & greet beforehand. 🐾 Updates & Communication I’ll send regular updates, photos, and little check-ins so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, settled, and well cared for 📸 Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine as both me and my mum work hybrid jobs, meaning someone is always home throughout the day, every day. We already have an established routine with our dog, Peach, who is typically fed at 8am and 5pm, with walks shortly after. However, we’re very happy to adapt this to suit your dog’s usual schedule, whether that’s different feeding times, walk routines, or specific needs. There are plenty of opportunities for garden time, play, and toilet breaks throughout the day, as well as a calm, relaxed environment for dogs who prefer a quieter pace. Your dog will have constant company, supervision, and attention, and will be treated as part of the family. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priority at all times. In our home, dogs are cared for in a calm, secure environment with a fully fenced garden for safe outdoor time. All dogs are supervised, especially when interacting with each other, to make sure everyone feels comfortable and relaxed. I always take time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and any specific needs before their stay, so I can provide care that suits them individually. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I’m confident adapting to what each dog needs — whether that’s more play, more rest, or a bit of extra reassurance. Our home is a non-smoking, pet-friendly space where dogs are treated as part of the family. I also keep owners updated with regular messages and photos, so you always know how your dog is getting on. For everyone’s safety and comfort, I do ask that dogs are friendly with other dogs and comfortable in a home environment.

“We're so grateful to Alice and Tommy for the lovely care and attention they gave to our little Patty. They gave him lots of exercise and opportunities too explore and sniff. Also ensured they made time to rest before ball games in the garden. They took really good care of our house and left everywhere clean and tidy. We felt they were genuine, trustworthy and very kind young people who we'd have no hesitation is asking again .We received photo's and video's which was very reassuring, we felt our little Patty was in safe hands as well as having kisses and cuddles. We would highly recommend Alice and Tommy to care for your pets.”

About: Professional dog walker now for the past 3 years. Dog mummy for 20 years. With a great love for outdoors. I intend to breach out and become a dog behaviourist in the near future. I’m offering dog walking/ sitting/ boarding and daycare. Any questions feel free to contact me :) I’m currently working as a professional dog walker so your pet will fit right in here, if your dog doesn’t like these activities thats fine as I can offer alternatives. I have a fenced garden which your fur baby has full range of. I do professional dog walking also so if your dog is happy with other dogs they will come with us if not that’s fine I also do country park walks. I love local to Colwick woods also Gedling county park so we will go and explore that together. I’m dedicated in helping my clients so if your dog is reactive towards other dogs or extremely bad (pulling) on the lead, I have the time and patience to help break them habits.

“Susan was a fantastic sitter. She was trustworthy and reliable. We met and chatted before and during the booking. Susan sent us regular videos and updates… which helped us to feel so assured when we were away. Or cat Maeve was relaxed and calm on our return- clearly, she was really well cared for by Susan. We certainly hope to re-book with Susan.”

“Kate came and stayed at our house and looked after our giant puppy for a week while we were on holiday. Her communication was great and she sent us pictures of Kiri’s chilling and on walks which was lovely. We will definitely be booking with Kate again. Thanks Kate!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always loved caring for them. I have a dog of my own who lives with my parents, and I’ve been taking care of him since I was growing up, so I’m very comfortable with the responsibilities that come with looking after a dog. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow their usual schedule and give them plenty of attention, care, and affection. I’m also comfortable staying in someone’s home and making sure both their dog and home are well looked after while they’re away. I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. My priority is making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🐶❤️ As a university student, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. My days can vary, but I’m able to work my routine around a dog’s needs, whether that’s morning walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company throughout the day. I really enjoy having dogs around, and I’m happy to give them plenty of attention and make sure they get the exercise, care, and companionship they’re used to. My flexible university schedule also means I can be available during the day and adapt to different routines and requirements. 🐶🐾 I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while they’re in my care. I take the time to understand their usual routine, personality, and any specific needs before looking after them. I’m responsible and respectful of both the pet and their home. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep an eye on pets when they’re outside, and follow their feeding, walking, and medication routines if needed. I also keep their environment clean and tidy. Most importantly, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and plenty of attention. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always do my best to give them the same care and love I would want for my own dog. 🐶❤️
