House Sitting Halesworth

“We were very happy with the way Rosa looked after our rescue collie, Lucy. She updated us regularly and sent photos, which was very helpful. She even managed to take Lucy out for a walk which was an achievement as Lucy has refused to go out with others who have looked after her. I am happy to recommend her as an excellent dog sitter.”

“We had such a wonderful experience with Shirley looking after Enzo overnight in our home. From the very beginning, she was warm, professional, and clearly a genuine animal lover. Enzo settled with her straight away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Shirley took fantastic care of him, keeping to his routine, giving him lots of attention, and making sure he was happy and comfortable the entire time. It was such a relief knowing our home and our dog were in such safe, capable hands. We came back to a relaxed and content Enzo and a spotless house — it honestly couldn’t have gone better. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Shirley again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet sitter. Thank you so much, Shirley!”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having two of my own dogs and caring for family’s and friends dogs. Unleashing happiness is my own dog walking business and I’m very proud to be doing this full time. I would love for you and your pets to join me and my team on many more adventures. I have a secure house and garden with high fences and a double door lock system on the front and back of the house which will help prevent escape artist. House is also fully fitted with CCTV system. I also provide crates if needed.

“Lucy looked after my Border Terrier for the day. They hit it off straight away, played in the garden and went on several walks. Lucy is a very nice person I would not hesitate to recommend her. Excellent communication, she answered all my questions during the booking very quickly. Booking through Rover was easy, with plenty of advice on the procedure.”

About: I'm a self employed healer and animal lover with over eleven years of pet sitting with Trusted Housesitters, including 44 five star reviews. I'm mainly based in the Woodbridge, Suffolk area but also spend time in North Norfolk and Hastings regularly so happy to offer my services there. I adore taking care of people's pets and appreciate how sensitive some animals can be. I offer a service that is empathic and includes energy healing as required. I always try to keep with pets routines and minimise any stress of having a new person around. I offer a professional service including excellent communication and attuned pet care with regular updates if required. My long background in social care has given me the gift of helping people feel comfortable and safe and this also extends to animals. I have worked with many rescue animals and appreciate the challenges they face, especially with other dogs in public spaces. I offer a service that includes both walks, medication, feeding and play time plus the energy healing. I'm also clean, tidy and very respectful of pets parents homes. I'm currently working part time and as a self employed therapist have flexibility on my times. I mainly offer support for morning, lunch and evening walks but I'm also available for full day pet care and weekends. When supporting dogs I follow the routine required of pet parents, often including two walks a day, feeding, and play time in the afternoon. I bond quickly with animals so I often find myself giving belly rubs! Cats being such unique creatures I support them in the way they wish, making sure they are fed and watered, nurtured and ensure outdoor access is provided if no cat flap is available. I have also supported with the care of tortoises, rabbits, fish and chicken - changing out the hay regularly and collecting eggs. I'm also available for horses and happy to change hay for them also.

“Alex is incredible with all my doggies and there is a few of them! She is caring and they love her! It’s always hard to leave your doggies however she makes it that but easier”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We honestly couldn’t recommend Rose highly enough! From the moment we booked with her, her communication was fantastic. She kept us updated throughout our time away with regular messages and lots of lovely photos, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. Rose is such a kind, genuine, and lovely girl, and it’s clear she truly loves animals. Our dogs absolutely adored her, and we came home to three very happy pups. She also went completely above and beyond by cleaning the house and even doing the washing before she left, which was such a thoughtful surprise and so appreciated after travelling home. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets as if they were her own, while keeping you updated every step of the way, Rose is the perfect person. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and will definitely be asking her to look after our dogs again. Thank you so much, Rose!”

“Christina was a very professional pet sitter, she looked after our 2 dogs Button, who is a lively 3 year old Cocker Spaniel and our 16 year old Spaniel x Border Pippa. We had daily updates and photos of the dogs at home and out for lovely walks. Christina was experience with older dogs and administered Pippa's daily medication. When we returned home the house was left very clean and tidy. And very happy dogs. We would highly recommend Christina as your pet sitter. Graham and Sheila.”

About: I’ve had my own dog for five wonderful years, and he truly opened my heart to all living creatures. We trained him ourselves from a puppy, and he has amazing recall and lovely manners. That experience taught me patience, consistency, and how important trust is with dogs. I regularly look after friends’ dogs of all sizes, small, medium, and large and I’m confident handling different temperaments and energy levels. I provide daily walks once or twice a day, sometimes including a run for more active dogs, and longer walks at the weekend for extra adventure and stimulation. Your dog would be cared for as if they were my own, with attention, affection, and plenty of exercise. 🐾 As I work from home, dogs in my care are rarely left alone and always have company throughout the day. I tailor walks to each dog’s needs, offering one or two walks daily depending on their routine and energy levels. There are always plenty of cuddles, attention and gentle supervision.. 🐾 Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. In my home, I provide a calm, secure and loving environment where dogs are treated as part of the family. I take time to understand each dog’s routine, preferences and any special requirements so they feel settled and comfortable. I maintain consistent boundaries, supervise interactions, and ensure doors and outdoor spaces are secure at all times. Walks are carried out safely, with close attention to surroundings and other dogs. I only allow off-lead time where recall is reliable and agreed with the owner.🐾

About: I’ve had dogs all my life from Dachshunds and terriers through to rescues and Labradors. I’ve recently retired and lost my companion Charlie so I’m hoping to invest my love in your precious one now. I’m recently retired so expect to spend all day with your pet, making them part of my life while they are with me. I live in a city centre maisonette and have a small secure outside space for fresh air, but there are also parks near me and all the smells and excitement of the city. I follow whatever exercise routine and rules you have at home. Pets can come on the sofa for cuddles if you allow that, and can either sleep downstairs or upstairs on the bed with me.

“Nicole came to dog sit our two dogs in our caravan where we were staying as we had a wedding to attend. Nicole was really warm and friendly and made me feel like I could relax and enjoy my day without worrying if they were okay. She sent me an update with pictures during the day and it was so nice to see they were having fun. I couldn’t recommend Nicole enough. Thank you!”
