House Sitting Hartland

About: Over the last 4 decades I have loved and cared for a multitude of my own pets from cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, cockatiels, finches, fish and chickens. I have raised rabbits, cats and hens from babies.I have offered been the go to friend to take care of others pets, from taking care of cats, to walking dogs or caring for tortoise. Animals have always been an important part of my life. As I currently work part time and am also self employed I can offer more flexibility. As a pet owner I understand the importance of having the right person to love and take care of your pets when you're away, I can offer house sitting on the weekend and also school holidays and drop ins at other times. Pet friendly home where safety and happiness is paramount. As an energetic individual your pets would get the attention they need and would enjoy lovely walks and cuddles.

“Sarah was very lovely and responsive throughout her stay with our two boys. She sent lots of pictures and took our boys for day trips with her. I would definitely recommend using her, our boys had the best time with her 😊 we came back to our flat being very clean and tidy as well, we’ll definitely be using her again xx”

“We are so pleased we found Richard and Emma to look after our 2 dogs and our cat while we went away. We got regular updates and photos from them and the dogs were taken on lots of lovely long walks. They even helped us out with looking after our daughter's fish tanks while we were away and they watered the garden and left our house clean and tidy. Highly recommended and will definitely use them again in the future!”

“We really couldn’t have asked for better cat sitters than Holly and Giles. We felt completely reassured knowing our rather nervous kitty was in such kind, capable and thoughtful hands. They kept us updated while we were away and clearly treated Olive with genuine care and affection rather than it just being a job. The fact that she joined them on the sofa for cuddles was a miracle! Coming home to an obviously happy, relaxed cat and the house so well looked after gave us complete peace of mind and meant we could properly enjoy our time away without worrying. We’re incredibly grateful to Holly and Giles and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring and professional pet sitters. Thank you so much!!!! 🐱💖🥰🐾🐾”

About: I began by independently fostering a pregnant cat who I rescued from the streets, providing housing and care throughout her pregnancy and raising her kittens to ensure their health and development. This experience led me to a role at an animal rescue, where I worked for approximately a year caring for rescue cats and dogs, managing all aspects of their care. A key part of this work involved confidence building, to ensure good quality of life. Consistent handling to help the animals feel secure and settle into their new environment. I’m currently working from home so I will be in your dogs/cats company for majority of the day. Typically I do a daily big walk for myself so this is something your dog can potentially join in on. I live in a small studio apartment in the country side with a large garden (not fenced in) lots of land surrounding me, and many nature walks. There are friendly dogs on the property which your dog can befriend depending on your preference for that.

About: I am an animal care professional with 25years experience caring for exotic animals in zoos and safari parks. For the past 10 years I have focussed on pet care while living in Tenerife! From dogs and cats to parrots and pigs! I believe in love and attention for our pets in abundance. I am also an advocate for positivity and kindness in pet care ...as I am a positive reinforcement dog trainer. I recently lost my pug to old age . I can´t wait for some cuddles to fill the gap my little boy pug has left in my heart. I am just starting on Rover but I can provide references from previous pet sits I have done, as well as vets AND zoos I have worked for. Our pets are our family. Peace of mind knowing they are being loved and cared for while you are away is my priority. I currently work online, which gives me plenty of flexibility and means pet care fits really naturally into my day. I’m able to spend lots of time with the animals I’m looking after rather than having to rush off to work for hours at a time. I can easily work around feeding times, playtime, medication or just keeping them company, and because I work from my laptop, I’m very happy having a furry companion nearby while I work! I absolutely love animals, and their happiness and wellbeing will always come first when they’re in my care. I also understand how strange it can feel leaving your pets — and your home — in someone else’s hands, so I want you to feel completely relaxed while you’re away. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, exercise, medication and all their little individual habits and preferences. I’m very respectful of each animal’s personality and will never force attention — if they want cuddles, yay! ..and if they prefer their own space, that’s absolutely fine too. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own, keep everything secure and tidy, and send you regular updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing everything is being well looked after and spoiled rotten!

About: I've always lived with pets while growing up from the ages of 2 until recently. Both of my dogs passed away last year leaving me with no pets, I'm missing having some doggy love, and this is why I'm choosing to do this. In the past 5 years, I have looked after some family friends dogs while they go on holiday, I have looked after big dogs, small, young and old. Feel free to message me about any questions or requires you may have :) Jess My rota is very flexible, I am self employed so can work around you! I am available Monday - Sunday, any last minute requests please message me. My house is pet free and no young members of the household. My garden is fenced off with grass and concrete with a large park near by.

About: I'm a qualified dog walker and pet sitter. I have qualified in level 2 animal care, level 2 vet nursing and level 3 pet first aid. I have grown up with a variety of different types of pets. I have been working with dogs for the last 8 years. I work with your pets during the day and then I have an evening job that is 3 hours and not related to animals. The evening job is near my home, so I will only do it if I'm on local sits. I will put your dogs in a crate or a safe room in the house, if I'm going out to the shops. I make sure outside space is safe for your pet.
