“The easiest 5 stars! Katherine was the most perfect house sitter for my two sausages. I didn’t worry & I enjoyed my wedding! I’m so unbelievably thankful. Do not hesitate booking Kat!”

“5* isn’t enough of a rating! We absolutely loved Jill looking after our little Nala, she made us feel so reassured and we relaxed on holiday knowing she was in great hands. We got regular updates! We would use Jill again in a heartbeat. X”

“Hannah arrived on time and looked after Marco extremely well. He is currently on medication which Hannah was happy to give him during the house sitting. We were kept updated on how he was doing, including photos and Hannah ensured he had plenty of garden breaks during the visit. Overall we were very happy with the care Hannah gave Marco and would/are happy to have her house sit for Marco in the future.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and sometimes babysit my sisters dog and cat, I’ve also been entrusted by neighbours and friends to care for their pets whilst they’re on holiday. I work part time so could definitely make time for pet care within my schedule, I have clubs and hobbies but I’m confident that timings can be sorted! I wouldn’t necessarily pet sit from my house just due to my current circumstances! However this may change in the future. As for a pet owners home, however you feel comfortable! I know each dog/cat has their own quirks and personalities.

About: We have always had a family dog in the home. I’ve helped deliver puppies I’ve also catered for an entire new foundland litter. We’ve had old English sheep dogs, st Bernard’s, labradors, smaller breeds such as jack russel and also border collies. I’ve never not had dogs in the home and enjoy their company very much. I am a work from home professional who lives opposite holywells park. The entrance gate is opposite my front door. My dogs get two walks per day which includes a visit to the ducks/ geese and other doggies for their adventures. I have a large garden with an outside tab for the dogs to chill after exercise. I have a fenced garden with two very friendly dogs who love to socialise. Your pets would be made to feel very welcome and would enjoy their day visits :)

She sent a photo with updates whenever asked, and I felt completely at ease with her skillful approach to keeping my dog calm and happy. 100% recommended to anyone looking for a friendly and trustworthy dog sitter!”

About: I work in private healthcare. I am an avid hiker, enjoy photography, reading and food. I had studied psychology, which is highly applicable to animals, regarding training and understanding. Growing up I have cared for animals, since birth we have had cats, and since nine we had dogs. We had three dogs, and five cats, the eldest cat living till 27 and dogs living till 16 years old. Throughout this, I have actively participated in looking after our pets, from puppy/kitten through senior years. along side this, I have looked after horses, fish, reptiles and other dogs. 🐕 I have previously handled multiple breeds including, bullmastiff, pitbull, staff, ridgeback, frenchies, English bulldogs, Shih Tzu, chihuahua, labs, golden retrievers and more. so I have rather a wide knowledge of dogs. Overall, I have cared for a multitude of animals: horses, farm animals, fish, reptiles, cats, hamsters, birds, and many more. 🐾 If you have and queries, please message me, thank you ☺️ I am currently working full time. However, my occupation hours are abnormal, allowing me to care for pets in my spare time. Please message me for availability 📩 I am able to deal with a wide range of pets, breeds, sizes, and requirements. Animal welfare (mental and psychical health) is highly important to me. I am able to follow instructions, rules and preferences. Additionally, I can administer medication, give emotional support and aid their physical needs. Updates on pets are available, which will be asked upon finalisation of agreement. 😊 When walking I carry a slip lead and other extra precautionary devices to avoid emergencies while on walks. In despite of this, I walk dogs in areas they are likely to thrive in, based on personality, age, ability, and general characteristics. Meet and greets are necessary, I want dogs to be comfortable with a new person in their environment, it also allows me to get the chance to know your pet a little better. Nevertheless, once they are being cared for, I will give them everything they need and more.

About: Having been surrounded by pets my entire life - from cats and dogs to horses and lizards - has given me a deeper and innate understanding of animal care. Since I could walk, animals have been a constant presence in my life, which has fostered a genuine love and respect for them. Family and friends frequently rely on me to house sit and look after their pets whist they are away, trusting in my dedication, ability and experience. This lifelong exposure sets me apart from others as I provide a level care and service rooted in a lifetime of hands-on experience and a sincere passion for animal welfare. My commitment to ensuring each pet's well-being and happiness in unwavering, making me uniquely qualified to offer exceptional pet care. I work from home Monday to Friday, ensuring your pet will never be left alone. My routine includes a morning walk and feed before I start work, followed by a lunchtime walk with various toilet breaks throughout the day. After work, I often take the dogs for a longer walk, bathe them if necessary, and feed them their second meal before letting them out one last time before bed. I am more than happy to accommodate any specific routine requirements, as I have the flexibility and luxury of working from home. This allows me to provide consistent and attentive care for your pet. In my home, I provide a safe and welcoming environment for your pets. I have a fenced garden where they can play and exercise, along with a friendly dog to keep them company. I regularly walk and bathe the dogs to ensure they stay healthy and clean. If needed, I can easily crate your dogs for safety and comfort. I love spending quality time cuddling with pets and can continue their training to help them feel secure and well-cared for. Additionally, I am happy to offer house-sitting services so your pets can remain in the comfort of their own home.

Jill and Keith has been exceptional in looking after Oscar and Benji. Oscar is particularly sulking right now as he loves the ladies and has now returned to living with two men. We have had regular updates and lots of pictures. They have been cared for as part of their family which is perfect. Thank you so much from Oscar, Benji, Mark and Mark x

Jill was absolutely great! She stepped in at late notice and gave Bella loving care. We’d been let down by our usual sitter due to no fault of her own and had a long day at a close family member’s wedding to go to in just a couple of days. Talk about stressful! Jill responded quickly to our request and was extremely helpful and flexible. Although there was no opportunity to meet before the day, we spoke and met on WhatsApp. Jill put our minds completely at rest before and during the day, keeping us informed and sending photos of Bella. There were a couple of things I’d forgotten to tell her and she just sensibly checked with us. When we got home Bella was relaxed and happy. We wholeheartedly recommend Jill who gave the level of love and care we’d give ourselves. She was friendly, professional and approachable. I really can’t praise her highly enough.

Jill is amazing. We were a little apprehensive about going away without Gus our little whippet. We went and met Jill a few days before his mini break and she made us feel at home. Jill provided us with daily updates and we could relax, knowing he was having a brilliant time. Gus clearly likes Jill and has been very well looked after. We would definitely book Jill again. Gus would love to go on another mini break in the near future I’m sure 😊
