House Sitting Glusburn

“We have been delighted with Elliott's care of Lizzy. She can take a while to relax around people but the first evening of Elliot sitting her, he sent a photo of Lizzy doing the greyhound 'roach' (on her back legs in the air). Furthermore this was in the same room as Elliot. We knew then that Lizzy liked Elliot and was being well looked after. Elliot did regular updates with photos. He was happy for Lizzy to share the bedroom and made sure that she had her regular medication and walks. We think Lizzy was probably better behaved for Elliot than us 😊After a rough year for us, it was so good to know that Lizzy was happy and relaxed. Thank you Elliot! We would have no hesitation in booking Elliot again and would highly recommend him to anyone else looking for a caring and conscientious sitter.”

“Rachel has been an incredible sitter for our darling girl. Communication has been extremely professional throughout, from arranging the first meet right until handing over after our return home. Rachel kept us up to date with daily photos of Cleo on walks and playing. Our girl looked so happy and comfortable throughout. When we returned home the house was immaculate and small things let you know Rachel really cares about the animals she looks after and the experience of her customers! Our dog had played so hard with a toy it ripped but Rachel sourced a new one for her knowing how much she likes playing with it! I wouldn’t think twice about asking Rachel to look after our girl again, she has been a dream discovery for us and goes above and beyond!”

About: I’m new to professional pet sitting but I’ve always been comfortable around animals and grew up with a pet dog. Through my previous work in domiciliary care, I was also regularly around clients’ cats and dogs in their homes, which helped me become comfortable around different household pets. I’m a caring, patient and reliable person and I understand how important it is to treat someone’s pet and home with respect. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine carefully, including feeding, walks, playtime and providing plenty of company and attention. I’m looking forward to gaining more experience and getting to know each pet and their individual personality. I also have experience spending time with my brother’s dog, Alfie, giving him attention and accompanying him on walks with my mum. I currently work Monday to Friday, so I’m mainly available for pet care at weekends. I’m happy to dedicate my Saturdays and Sundays to looking after pets, including drop in visits, walks and spending time with them. I’ll always make sure I have enough time available to give each pet the attention and care they need. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I will follow all instructions and routines provided, including feeding, walks, playtime and any house rules. I’ll treat both your pet and your home with care and respect. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, keep an eye on your pet’s wellbeing and contact you if I have any concerns. I’m also happy to provide updates while you’re away so you know how your pet is getting on.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes for many years. I have looked after puppies all the way up to senior dogs. I am confident around animals and have knowledge of pet first aid. I also have my own car to travel. I am a full-time student and work part-time. Please message me for monthly availability. I can have 0-2 lectures per weekday and am available until 10:30am on days when I am working. I often work evenings, so can be free during the day. Every week can be different for me, so I can be flexible! I have a fenced garden, and lots of outdoor spaces where I can walk your dog. If your dog likes company, my Labrador will be more than happy to join also!

About: I’m a cat mad lady who loves everything cat! I have 3 of my own who I adore as though they were my actual children. I have looked after family and friend’s cats for the past 10 years. I have looked after cats with strict dietary requirements and have no problem with administering medication. I have a long haired kitty so I’m no stranger to detangling fur and keeping up with grooming and claw clipping. I have a diploma is Cat Behaviour and Psychology too! As Freud says: “Time spent with cats is never wasted!” I have a mundane office job Monday to Friday so getting to visit kitties on a daily basis always brightens my day! You can rest assured your kitty will be well looked after in your absence!

“Finlay was so happy with the lovely Kate, that we have asked her back for another stay. We came home to a happy, contented dog, who didn’t seem to have missed us! The house was clean and tidy and Kate kept in touch with texts and photos. We would highly recommend Kate.”

“We are so happy we chose Lou to look after our dog and cat while we went away to get married. Lou is friendly, kind, thoughtful, helpful and capable. We couldn't have asked for better. The pets were happy and relaxed when we got home and had clearly spent a lovely time with Lou. Lots of photos and videos and updates helped us feel relaxed and happy that all was well. Looking forward to having Lou back the next time we go away. Thanks a bunch Lou! :-).”

“I've trusted Kathryn with our dog Klaus for 8 years since we got him as a puppy. She's trustworthy, reliable, attentive and kind, she follows any instructions left and most importantly our dog loves her and is more than comfortable with her looking after him, zoomies start when she arrives. I would highly recommend Kathryn if you require a pet sitter. She has also pet sat 2 cats for my mum for over 16 years. Kat is a 10/10 pet sitter in every way, her service is outstanding. 🩵”

“Nicola stepped in at short notice to 'Bailey-sit' our cocker spaniel puppy for the evening, giving us a much-needed break. She took the time to meet Bailey beforehand, which was great, and seemed completely unfazed by her typical puppy energy (and enthusiastic nibbling!). It was reassuring to know Bailey was having fun, sticking to her routine, and getting some good socialisation while we were out. Thanks again, Nicola!"”

“Every thing went perfectly. It’s the first time we have booked a pet sitter to stay with our dog and cat who are elderly and Hayley was great, keeping us updated and taking great care of our pets and our home. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much,”

Clare W.

“Samantha was great - she followed Caspian’s routine and kept me updated with loads of photos. He was very happy when I got home and if I’m honest I think he’s been missing her since! Will definitely ask her to look after Caspian again in the future, as he clearly had a great time. Would enthusiastically recommend Samantha to anyone considering a sitter!”

About: With 5 years of experience caring for cats and dogs and even the odd chicken, I provide reliable, high-quality pet sitting tailored to your animal’s specific needs. From energetic walks to specialised cat care, I prioritize your pet's routine and happiness above all else. I am a discreet and trustworthy sitter who treats your home with the utmost respect. You can expect regular photo updates and clear communication, giving you total peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s administering medication or simply offering plenty of attention, I’m dedicated to keeping your pets safe and comfortable. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I am a gardener so I can either take dogs to work with me if they enjoying being outside (only to enclosed and appropriate places) or be flexible with my work schedule to accommodate returning home to give them scheduled walks. I also have flexibility in days I can work. I can travel and am free to stay over in someone’s home easily (as I don’t have home commitments such as children or my own pets) The animals I have looked after in the past have tended to stay with them in their home so not to take them out of their comfortable environment. I treat all animals with love, affection and respect. If it is a cat that wants lots of cuddles or prefers their own independence, I try to get a full picture from their owner so I can treat them as they are used to.

“Caroline did a fantastic job looking after my Bruno for a week. She is a pleasant and chatty lady who clearly loves animals. She sent me updates and pics every day. She is so good I have booked her again. Highly recommended”

About: We are a friendly, reliable couple with a genuine love of dogs, animals and the outdoors. With three dogs of our own, dogs are very much part of our everyday lives, and we understand how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with a much-loved member of your family. Alongside our practical experience, Shirley holds a Canine Communication Diploma, awarded with Distinction by the Centre of Excellence. This complements our hands-on experience and helps us to understand canine communication, behaviour and the individual ways dogs express themselves. We also have experience through Pawsome Treks Adventure Services, our dog-walking service, which focuses on giving dogs stimulating outdoor experiences rather than simply a quick walk around the block. We love the outdoors and enjoy giving dogs opportunities to walk, explore, sniff and enjoy plenty of enrichment. We have three dogs ourselves and are fortunate to have access to private fields giving us fantastic opportunities for outdoor exercise and enrichment. We are also developing dedicated indoor and outdoor spaces to provide a comfortable environment for different dogs and their individual needs. Having two of us means there is plenty of opportunity for companionship, supervision and individual attention. We understand that every dog is different — from energetic adventurers to older dogs who simply enjoy a gentle wander and plenty of affection — and we adapt our approach accordingly. Above all, we want you to be able to leave your dog with us knowing they will be treated with kindness, patience and respect. We don't just look after dogs — we want them to genuinely enjoy their time with us. 🐾 Caring for dogs fits naturally into our everyday life. We have three dogs of our own, so walks, feeding, play, exercise and companionship are already part of our normal daily routine. We both enjoy being outdoors and can structure our days around the dogs in our care rather than trying to fit them into a busy schedule. Having two of us also means we can share responsibilities and give each dog plenty of individual attention, supervision and companionship. Through Pawsome Treks, we are used to planning our time around dogs and their individual exercise needs. Whether your dog enjoys a good outdoor adventure or a quieter routine with shorter walks and plenty of company, we are happy to adapt our day to suit them. Safety and trust are extremely important to us. We understand that leaving your dog with somebody new can be worrying, so we want owners to feel completely comfortable and confident about the care their pet will receive. We have access to private fields with no general public access, providing a fantastic environment for exercise and enrichment away from busy public spaces. We are also developing dedicated indoor and outdoor areas so dogs can have appropriate spaces for activity, rest and relaxation. We will always follow your instructions regarding feeding, walking, leads, routines, interaction with other dogs and any individual requirements. We never assume that because something is suitable for one dog it will be suitable for another. As we have dogs ourselves, introductions and compatibility are important to us. We want every dog in our care — including our own — to feel safe and comfortable. We are happy to discuss this fully and arrange an introduction before a stay where appropriate. We will provide responsible supervision, plenty of attention and a calm, caring environment, with your dog's welfare always coming first.

About: I have over two years of experience caring for animals, including both big and small dogs as well as cats. I grew up raising an Alsatian and a Belgian Malinois and so I am confident, caring and patient around animals, and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship and following each pet’s individual routine. I treat every animal with the same care and attention I would want for my own. My pet will fit naturally into my routine alongside work as an Actor, residential care practitioner, caring for children and elderly, with daily care, attention and love. I care for pets in their own home by following their routine, providing food, walks, playtime and companionship, while keeping their environment clean, safe and comfortable.

“How fortunate we feel to have come across Faye’s details . From out first pre visit we knew we were in safe hands . All Chester’s routines , likes and dislikes were carefully noted .No stone was left unturned . From arriving at the airport for our holiday , we received our first photo . She was safely in and was already bonding . From that moment we both completed relaxed . She has been a breathe of fresh air . On returning she waited for us to arrive , even though we were delayed . House was immaculate and Chester was happy and content. Communication from start to finish was superb . The whole process was seamless and we have found a gem in Faye”

“Carrie was brilliant with our Boris. He did miss us, but he was settled with her, so we can't ask for more than that! We would definitely use her again. Thank you :)”

“Saffron was amazing. Our cats are usually very timid and take a long time to warm-up to new people but with 2 days, Saffron was recieving fusses and cuddles from them! Our pets and home were well looked after and we received daily updates from Saffron, which was lovely. I highly recommend her and will be booking with her again in the future.”
