House Sitting in Harborough

“Fantastic sitter. Merlin loved Benjamin immediately. Benjamin was dedicated and conscientious during the overnight stay and made the whole process straightforward and stress free. I cannot recommend Benjamin highly enough. I’ll definitely be using his services again! Merlin also gives his seal of approval! 🐾”

“Tracey and her daughter looked after our two little dogs overnight, they made a punctual arrival and the dogs clearly had a great time, we received many photos of their adventures. It is obvious that the dogs bonded, and were looked after with love and affection. We have already booked to use Tracey again for a longer break!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other animals since I was only a few years old as I grew up in a village and my family had a lot of animals. I’m a dog lover since I can remember and it’s my passion to provide the best care to your furry children. I treat all dogs like a family members. I personally own 3 dogs right now (cross breed, lurcher and saluki) and 2 of them are rescue dogs. I understand that having a puppy may be a little bit exhausting and I don’t mind waking up several times at night to look after your fur baby and include training during the day. Due to many years of having dogs myself I was responsible for older dogs as well, therefore it won’t be a problem for me to look after you senior dog(s) too. I currently work full-time but I still have plenty of time to play, walk and spend time with our furry friends. I can provide boarding on weekends and walk your dogs after 4 in the afternoon. Please contact me if you need boarding or home visits during the week and I’ll arrange it for you. I have a fenced garden and I’m able to keep the dogs separated if needed. I have friendly dogs that will keep your dog(s) entertained all the time. All dogs in my or your house will be under my supervision all the time.

“Colin and Chris are a "dynamic duo!" They are very accommodating and professional. We felt at ease leaving our husky with them and never once worried she wasn't getting the best of care. Loads of walks, treats, and videos of their stay with Sakari. Highly recommend them. Colin and Chris will be our first choice for future travels.”

“Sam stayed our house for 1 night whilst we were getting married, great communication, kept us up to date with some pictures and videos of our dogs. Will use Sam uh the future.”

“I know my 12week old pup had a great time with Aissa because he wasn't bothered that I was back home! Aissa was an amazing dog sitter, making sure Arlo was really well looked after and kept me updated with lots of great pictures. She took really good care of my house as well whilst I was gone. Thank you Aissa, Arlo loved you!”

“It’s so hard to find someone that I can fully trust with my fluffs, someone who is going treat them like their own and make them feel loved and cared for when I can’t; so having Megs to call on is really a Godsend. One of my dogs is really high needs with epilepsy and an autoimmune condition, and can present with some behavioral issues as he’s really particular with people, but when Megs is looking after him he’s super calm and content, plus I know he’s in totally capable hands should he seizure or anything else. Megs is truly one of the most dependable, trustworthy, attentive, intuitive, compassionate and caring individuals I’ve ever met and it’s such a blessing to be able to call on her when I need help with my pups.”

“Aimee is caring and professional when it comes to looking after someone's dog. She has been supurb the whole time we have been using her and wouldn’t trust our fur baby with anyone else now”

About: I have been dog walking for 3 years now after taking up during my apprenticeship and have always been around lots of dogs where I grew up too! I’m currently working schools hours so can still walk in the week and I’m also available on weekends and as I have half terms off too I know a lot of people go away in those times so I’m free a lot then I would care for them the same way I would my own, understanding and making sure I know there needs and what they are like so I can make them and you feel comfortable when they are in my care

“Laura has taken care of my beagle puppy - Winnie many times and at all times has been very responsible, caring and loving, I could not recommend more.”

“Georgina looked after our cockapoo pup Ivy for the day in our house . Georgina is a lovely lady and clearly Ivy had a wonderful day including a canal walk and really took to Georgina. I would highly recommend her”

“I couldn't have asked for anyone better than Dan to look after Alfie. I always find it hard leaving him when we go away, but Dan put us at ease with regular updates and pictures sent throughout our holiday. When we returned we could tell Alfie had made a new friend and didn't want him to leave. We would recommend Dan to anyone and will definitely be calling upon him again for our next holiday away. Thank you so much!”

“It is clear when you meet Jack that he is an animal lover. As someone who is calm, patient and caring, it is no surprise that pets tend to gravitate towards him. Having spent lots of time together with my own dog, I wouldn’t hesitate to entrust her in Jack’s care, and would recommend his attentiveness and affection to any dog/pet owner.”

I work as a part time pet sitter and dog walker which I absolutely love! I love my job as it has always been my dream to work with animals in the out doors! I find it so rewarding looking after animals. I have experience with all types of dog breeds, temperaments and sizes. 
I have a 3 year old Lurcher called Henry who we rehomed from Leicester Animal Rescue. I also have an African fat tailed gecko called Gizmo! 
I have rehomed 2 dogs myself, I always believe rescue dogs are so rewarding. My first rescue dog was a cairn terrier named Billy who we lost in 2021. He gave me lots of experience in dealing with dogs with behavioral issues. He was very reactive towards other dogs so this gave me a chance to learn how to control him and keep him calm in certain situations. We rehomed our lurcher, Henry in Feb 2022 from Leicester Animal Rescue. He has given me the experience in being able to learn how to walk bigger dogs. I also have experience after completing a 6 month work experience placement at Wooden House Kennels in Braybrooke. I got given the responsibility of walking the dogs who stayed at the kennels.I was able to walk a group of dogs as well as individual dogs which I am happy to do now. 
 I have a full clean driving license and I do own my own car which I am happy to transport dogs in. I am fully DBS checked and first aid trained. I currently work part time as a dog walker / pet sitter so I am very flexible with the hours I can offer and will always helps out when I can. I have enclosed garden which is medium sized, it has a grass area and different shrubbery for doggies to sniff and go to the toilet.

“Helen was wonderful with Izzy & Boots and to be honest I think Izzy was a little sad when she left! Our house was beautifully cared for, we couldn’t have wanted for more. We definitely recommend Helen and we will be contacting her again soon. Thank you ?”

“Bethany looked after our 2 dogs at our house this weekend. I was quite nervous as had not used this app previously. She gave us updates on how they were, sent pictures & always replied to messages quickly. She stuck to their routine and looked after our house brilliantly while we were away. We came back to 2 very happy doggies. I would highly recommend Bethany & we will definitely be using her services again in the future.”

“Thank you so much Isabel for looking after our 2 dogs so well. It was so reassuring that you took the time to meet our dogs first and kept us posted while we were away with clips and texts of them. A thoroughly, professional, trustworthy and friendly pet sitter.”

“I have known Cara for about 5years. She has cared for my nervous cavapoo on a number of occasions. She has stayed in my home to care for my dog Sky and is fully trustworthy. Cara is very caring and is absolutely loved and adored by my dog. Sky just does not take to some people so that is a big plus. Dogs tend to suss out people well. Cara is 100% reliable, always gets back to me promptly, arrives on time, leaves house clean and tidy. Even when we did not see Cara for a while due to lockdown Sky remembered her as when we did eventually meet up she went absolutely crazy as so happy to see her. Cara is a complete natural with dogs and gives 5 star care.”

“Louise and Rob have house/dog sat for us now on 4 or 5 occasions. They are the most wonderful people to have looking after your home and pets. Very kind, reliable and trustworthy. Each time we have come back to a very happy contented dog and a clean and tidy house. So reliable that I was very happy to leave our 2 week old puppies in their capable hands. I would highly recommend them.”

“Sam is responsible, reliable and polite. He has helped me with my french bulldog, both house sitting and dog-walking. I trust him to care for my dog.”
