“Fleur, has been a great help to us. We have been looking for someone in our local area to help adhoc when we want to go out for the evening or day. Having somebody confident and sensible about around dog was our main concern as they are both large breed dogs and can be boisterous with each other. We will definitely be using Fleur for future drop-ins and sits. Very glad we have found her.”


About: As a cat lover, this is the perfect job for me, I have 2 cats myself and I love them dearly, I understand how important it is for your beloved cat to be cared for whilst you are away. I am a very caring person and provide the absolute best care for all pets, and will ensure your pet is well looked after. 💕 Within my other job at a school I have a full DBS/CRB check, in my line of work I am off during all school holidays so this also allows me to be more flexible. I am available everyday of the year for morning and afternoon feeds and cuddles 😻 I work around my job and other cat visits ❤️ I provide the very best care for your cats. I am extremely respectful of your home and will happily hoover and tidy. Any requirements such as closing curtains, lights on or off or taking bins out and in is absolutely fine 😻

“Emma was amazing !!! The first time we have left our 12 year old cocker spaniel with someone in our home and she took to Emma instantly so polite and trusting highly recommended ruby cant wait to see Emma again Thanks !!!”

“Ellie did an amazing job looking after our home and Rex. We had previously sent him to a home boarder but after a bad experience Ellie came recommended and I can see why. Rex had a great time and I can tell he has been well cared for. Thank you both!”

“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.”

“Charlotte was fabulous, super communicative and so caring with Ella. Ella was clearly very happy and I felt so reassured that she was in good hands. I’m delighted to know that Charlotte is available to look after Ella again soon.”
“We honestly couldn’t recommend Daniel enough! He looked after our home and Hugo while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. It was such a relief knowing Hugo was in safe, caring hands and being so well looked after in his own home. Daniel was reliable, respectful, trustworthy and kept us updated, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our home was left lovely and tidy, and most importantly, Hugo was happy and settled. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Daniel again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring house and pet sitter. Thank you so much, Daniel! 🐾❤️”


“On time, polite, caring, natural affinity with dogs … everything that you would want from someone taking care of your home and dogs. Megan sent lots of updates and photos while we were away so we never had to worry about anything. I would have no hesitation in requesting Megan’s services again.”

“Jacob is the safest pair of hands imaginable, looking after our energetic 8 month old Labrador. He has a unique way of being utterly calm and patient which Otter responded to immediately. Highly recommended!”

“Abbie did house sitting for our 4 month old puppy recently. We can't recommend Abbie enough. Our puppy really liked Abbie from the moment she met her. Her approach and demeanour was really calm and positive and it was clear that Abbie has a lot of knowledge about how to interact with and care for dogs. Our puppy had a great time and we received videos of her playing and having fun which was really reassuring. We had a very positive experience overall and we will definitely use Abbie's services again when we need someone to care for our pet.”


About: I have cared for animals throughout my life and have always had a genuine love for them. I have experience looking after both cats and dogs, including dog sitting for friends while they have been away on holiday and cat sitting on previous occasions. I’m responsible, caring and attentive, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and well looked after in their own environment I work as a nurse Monday to Friday, usually 9am–5pm, with occasional weekend shifts. Outside of work, I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets, including evenings and my days off. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of care, attention and companionship I provide care in the pet’s own home, helping them stay comfortable and happy in their familiar surroundings. I’ll follow their usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’ll also make sure their home is left clean and tidy, and keep you updated while you’re away
About: I love dogs so much and have grown up with them since a very young age. They are family and I simply could not imagine life without a dog by my side! I am a full time nurse that works 12 hour shifts, so 3 long days a week meaning I have free days in the week and weekends. I am currently on maternity leave. I live in a house with my partner and our boy cooper where we have a good size garden. We have lovely walking areas nearby to the house which are perfect for short or long walks.

About: Need your pet caring for? Keep cool, dry and safe and we look forward to meeting you soon xx Love, Attention, Walks, Cuddles, Fun and Mum or Dad daily photos offered x I support 2 charities - Save The Rhino and Cats Protection hence the name 😊 I am registered here and with Cat in a Flat. So would be happy to look after your dog(s) or cat(s). I have looked after dogs in my home and at their home. Some of my boarders have needed diabetic injections and other medication, been widdle pots, enjoyed walks/swims, or just rested and cuddled. I have plenty of green spaces near me or we can stick to the ones near you. I grew up with alsations and cats. I really would like to care for your pet if he or she fits the following description: Walks on a lead Comes when called Asks to go out to wee If your animal is under 1 and not house trained then we could discuss their care x I'm sorry to say that if your dog is older than 1 year and non-toilet trained then I will not be able to care for your dog x If you are looking for a loving, patient lady for your dog whilst you are on holiday, weekend break, business or hospital stay- chat with me and lets see if I can help at your home or if need be in my home. I endeavour to take only 1 animal or family in my home at one time to ensure dedicated care and attention. We have lots of fun and cuddles around keeping up your training within the home or out on walks or swims!! Most dogs catered for - just ask. I love meeting new characters, caring for regulars and enjoying the walks or swims they go for when we are out and about. Snuggles and cuddles are on tap in my household but we will uphold your guidelines on commands, treats and suggestions. We will need to meet you and your pet before the booking and I will ask you to complete a form telling us all about him, her or them. Please note- for Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year and Easter bank holidays there is a £20 supplement but other bank holiday days I only ask for a supplement of £10 in addition to the usual daily fee please. I am home most of the day so fuss, company and toilet breaks in addition to feeds and or medication are regular x we have space and toys too 😊 I will understand you and your pets needs, commands and routine then continue those whilst caring for your pet. If you allow treats then I will 😃

About: I’m an experienced animal owner with particular experience caring for cats and dogs, including older animals and pets with individual routines and needs. I also volunteer with a cat rescue, which has given me experience with a wide range of personalities, including nervous and rescue animals. I’m confident with feeding, companionship, walks, litter trays, basic medication routines where required, and making sure pets feel safe, settled and well cared for in their own home. I’m a small business owner and have time in the mornings, afternoons and evenings to take care of pets. I love being out and about so meeting new pets sounds like good fun and rewarding. I am diligent and conscientious. I am happy to take instructions as to how to best look after your pets in your home and I’ll take great care when walking, feeding etc.
About: Hi, I'm Rachael and my 13 year old daughter, Francesca and I love travelling around the UK whilst house sitting and caring for pets. We have been house and pet sitting through Rover and the housesittersuk website for 7 years and have had amazing experiences and received great reviews on there. We have experience of looking after lots of different kinds of dogs of varying temperaments/sizes/needs which includes: - rescue dogs - reactive dogs - anxious dogs - dogs with health issues requiring medication We are true animal lovers and treat all the pets we care for as if they were our own. Francesca in particular loves dogs (that is how we got into pet sitting) and is very confident with them. We also love cats and have 3 of our own - Yogi, Jonah and Mia (we have family nearby who look after them whilst we are away). In fact we love all animals and would be very happy to look after them with experience of caring for goats, chickens, birds, fish, reptiles, hamsters, rabbits and guinea pigs. We are based in Cheshire and have a car. I am self employed and work online and Francesca is home educated so we are not restricted to term time dates. The rate we charge for our services ranges from £25-£45 per night depending on the level of care required. If caring for dogs this would include 2 x 30 minute walks per day. WE PROVIDE: - DBS check - Insurance - Excellent references - Excellent care for your pets and home - Excellent communication throughout the sit with daily photos and updates - Your home left clean and tidy for your return WE REQUIRE: - Full written/printed/emailed instructions on how to care for your pets and home - including daily routines, feeding, medication etc. - A good internet connection - Your home left clean, tidy and secure for us We have a Facebook page - Plant Family Pet Sitting UK - where you can find out more about us through our posts, videos and photos. Please get in touch if we can help and we can arrange a video call to virtually meet you and your pets, chat about what you need and see if we are a good fit. We are happy to do a meet and greet in person before the sit if you are close enough. We look forward to hearing from you and are happy to answer any questions. Best Wishes Rachael and Francesca 🐾 I work part time as a virtual assistant working remotely and Francesca is home educated so we have plenty of time during the day to dedicate to pet care and are happy to work with a dog or a cat on our lap! It also means we are pretty flexible in our availability and are not restricted by work schedules or term times. I always ask lots of questions about the needs of the pets in our care so that I have a complete picture. All routines and care requirements are followed as per the pet owners instructions. When out walking I will always keep dogs on the lead unless the pet owner has expressed confidence in the dog's recall skills.
About: I have been around dogs of all sizes, ages, breeds and needs since I was young, I had a Leonberger female when I was a child and teenager and we have a Cockapoo male currently and I have pet sat for friends and family in the past. I will always adapt my schedule and plans to suit your dogs needs and to fit into their usual routine and make my stay as stress free as possible for your dog and you. I am a Masters student with lots of work from home and free time to spend caring for your dogs and puppies! I can spend all day with your dogs and dedicate my time to caring for them I have experience caring for large and small breeds and I am physically fit and active so I can fit into the schedule and needs of your dog seamlessly
About: Will adapt to whatever each individual dog needs and wants, nothing is too much. Any special requirements can be catered for. When I’m with your dog they will have my undivided attention for the entire time I’m with them. I’m a mature student at Open University studying from home. So I’m flexible with my time. Weekends no problem early morning to late evening I’m available twenty four seven. I will walk your dog as many times a day as needed, unlimited toilet breaks all through the night and day. Will give all the love needed.
“Me and my mum were very nervous leaving our two cats (one of which had just had surgery and would require a lot of care) while we went away for three weeks, but with Michelle there was no need to be! Michelle is extremely professional, kind and easy to communicate with. It was obvious that our cats received the highest standard of care while we were gone. Michelle followed our instructions for the cats perfectly, always kept us updated with messages and photos, and did a fabulous job taking care of our garden too. I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone who needs a thorough, reliable and good-with-animals pet sitter. At the end of three weeks, we have zero complaints, only very high praise for her, as she did a perfect job!”

Charlotte stayed at ours for a week while we were on holiday. She was brilliant in terms of her preparation ahead of coming to stay. She was in regular contact to make sure she had all of the information she needed - she was very thorough and professional in her approach. Whilst we were away we received regular updates on how everyone was doing which was hugely reassuring. Our dogs seemed very happy, relaxed and well cared for and Charlotte was very helpful with watering our plants and the house was well looked after too. Charlotte is very friendly, trustworthy and I would not hesitate to recommend her.

Fleur, has been a great help to us. We have been looking for someone in our local area to help adhoc when we want to go out for the evening or day. Having somebody confident and sensible about around dog was our main concern as they are both large breed dogs and can be boisterous with each other. We will definitely be using Fleur for future drop-ins and sits. Very glad we have found her.

Caitlin proved to be an excellent sitter. We arranged a pre stay visit and Caitlin offered to come a second time to walk our dog with me. Caitlin was understanding when our plans changed slightly and she sent us regular updates. When we got home, the house was tidy and the dog looked happy. Highly recommend.
