House Sitting in Hertsmere

“Mary-Ann was so amazing and took good care of my baby!! She has been sending pictures daily and we did a few video calls as well during the time I was away! Definitely recommending her ?”

“Was very easy and flexible with our last minute booking. He made sure to arrive earlier than our start time to get a hand over and instructions for the boys. The boys seemed happy when we got home. Would recommend him as a sitter”

About: I have lifelong experience caring for dogs and studied canine behaviour for two years. I am responsible, caring, and consistent in my approach, and I work hard to support positive behaviour. While not a specialist, I have strong foundational knowledge and ensure every dog in my care is well-behaved and well-looked-after. Pet care is a core part of my daily routine. I work full-time as a dog walker/handler, so my days are structured around walks, feeding, training, and providing consistent care. I also have two small dogs of my own—Sheeva (12) and Poppy (11)—which keeps me experienced and engaged every day. Caring for dogs isn’t something I fit in around life. It is my routine, and I truly enjoy giving each dog the attention, structure, and affection they need. I mainly provide care in my own home, where dogs enjoy a clean, tidy, and comfortable environment. There’s plenty of indoor space for them to relax, as well as a fully fenced, safe garden for toilet breaks and supervised outdoor play. I maintain a calm, structured routine and make sure each dog receives the right balance of attention, exercise, and affection. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel secure, welcomed, and well cared for throughout their stay.

“Anusha and Pavan helped take care of our dogs Buddy and Bimba. They both have special requirements as they have elbow dysplasia and Buddy takes regularly medication and they both had their walks as requested and were never left alone more than 3 hours. Thank you again for your help durong a last minute family Emergency!”

“Isabella was a fantastic sitter and I’d thoroughly recommend her!!”

About:

About: I’ve been around animals since I was two from horses to hamsters I have done it all. I currently am trusted to look after my parents two dogs when they are away and my housemates dog too when she’s away for work. I’m currently working full time, one week Monday- Friday and the second week I work Monday- Thursday and Saturday. It leaves my evenings free and majority of weekends. I can’t have pets at my house due to the tenancy but i’m more than happy to go to peoples homes to look after their pets as requested.

About: I am currently at university studying veterinary medicine and it has been my upmost passion to care for animals, with my favourite being dogs. I have/ had dogs in the past with complex needs and have done everything in my power to ensure their needs are being met and they are their happiest self. Currently I am looking after my boyfriends dog, a 1 year old collie (shown in profile picture) and also assist with the care of 3 other dogs at different ages and with differing personalities. Their care consisted of long walks, general health checks, feeding and of course, access to cuddles! I have had a family dog before moving to university, a 7 year old dachshund that has epilepsy and anxiety that I’d work closely with to encourage happiness and decreasing any stimulus. Harper, a collie I am looking after is very outgoing and if off the lead trained. I have worked with her since she was a puppy, encouraging socialisation and recall as well as manners outside and inside the home. She now has amazing recall and I can do things like take food away, brush her teeth etc with absolutely no concerns. If I’d be lucky enough to be chosen to look after your pet, I’d ensure the best care, give you updates about your pet and follow their routine to a T. I’m available most of the time Monday - Friday after 5pm. Wednesday is quiet so mostly available in the day. Weekends available on request but would need request in advance. - Feeding and walking - grooming including brushing teeth and cutting nails - general health checks, fleaing and worming - little trips out, such as dog friendly cafes and beaches - ensure that the animal is only in an area of safety - environment is free of any stimulus and comfort is given if required

“We are so grateful to Harley-Marie! She came to our rescue at the last minute. She was amazing with our active Spaniel, Spencer, ensuring he got a great workout by exploring local parks with him regularly. Her communication was excellent, with lots of images sent, and she left the house spotlessly clean. The best housesitter we've ever had! Thank You!!”

About: Hello! I'm a 38-year-old lifelong pet enthusiast with hands-on experience caring for everything from brand-new puppies and senior rescues to independent felines. These days, I share my life with a wonderful Great Dane—so if you have a large breed, I'm already a pro at handling them! I truly adore pets of all shapes and sizes, though, and I'm just as happy cozying up with a purring cat as I am walking a big dog. Whether you need a reliable daily dog walker, someone to drop in for kitty cuddles and potty breaks, or a trustworthy house sitter while you travel, I’ve got you covered. My goal is to give you total peace of mind while making sure your furry best friends are safe, happy, and well cared for. Because I work night shifts, I have fantastic daytime and weekend availability to care for your pets! Monday through Thursday, I am available from midday until 8:00 PM. On Fridays and Saturdays, my schedule is completely open, so I am available all day. On Sundays, I can cover visits and walks from early in the morning up until 8:00 PM. This routine makes me a great fit for lunchtime drop-ins, afternoon walks, and dedicated weekend house sitting. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I am extremely respectful of your space, always double-checking that doors are locked, gates are closed, and the home is exactly as you left it. On walks, I am highly vigilant of our surroundings and ensure collars and harnesses are secure. As a Great Dane owner, I'm confident handling strong pullers and unexpected situations. I also believe in excellent communication, so you can always expect detailed updates and plenty of photos!

“It was immediately clear that Mary is super comfortable with any challenges a dog might throw at her, and I had no worries at all about her taking Romy on off lead walks. Mary was flexible and very understanding about the fact that Romy didn't allow for much sleep during her stay. The house was also left perfectly, and we got regular updates. Very reliable and lovely. Thanks Mary!”

About: Since losing my dog a couple of years a go at the grand old age of 15, I’ve been looking after pets for friends and family since. I live right next door to a lovely park, plenty of fields and trails. Happy to put the mileage in if your pet requires it. I’m patient and dogs seem to love me. Happy to help with training also. I work from home at present and I can pick and choose my hours. I can adjust my routine to suit your pet if needed, no problem at all. If your pet is unsociable I can walk early and late if necessary. I have a large flat with a safe and secure balcony. I am 30 seconds away from a park, 5mins away from fields and there are a number of trails and woodland walks close by. If required to sit in at your place, I am clean, quiet and respectable. Happy to be adaptable to your pets needs. Whatever it takes to make the feel safe and secure.

“Natalie took care of our dog for 3 days and all went perfectly well. She updated us nicely all along that time. The dog seemed really in good hands !”

About: Experienced as dog owner across all life stages, capable of caring for elderly dogs, including diabetes management (insulin administration). Patient and understanding for any little mishaps that puppies or senior dogs can have. DBS (police) check available on request. I provide dog walking, pet sitting, feeding, playtime, and general care to keep your pets happy, safe, and relaxed while you’re away. I've cared for many animals including dogs, rabbits and goldfish. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and energy levels and can also give medication when needed, including diabetic care. I will follow owners’ routines and instructions provided. I live in a three-bedroom house with a large and secure fenced garden. I currently have no pets so I can offer a sit for single dog/pets from the same household. I am also happy to care for pets in their own home.

“Cheryl was wonderful with our cats — she sent video and photo updates throughout, and honestly, we were a little jealous at how much our cats clearly preferred her company to ours. We came home to an immaculate house. We can absolutely recommend Cheryl as a cat sitter.”

“Requested a puppy-sit in my home while I went out for the evening. My little puppy was clearly comfortable when I returned, despite being shy when I first left. Jess gave me an update with a photo mid-evening, which helped me feel relaxed (and less guilty!) When I got back she talked about everything they'd done together - including practicing sit and learning 'lay-down'. Very happy with her help for the evening, especially given it was a somewhat unusual request.”

About: I had dogs as a child. Due to work never been able to have my own. Now have more time and have recently fostered for Guide Dogs. Looking to have more contact and enjoy dogs and the outdoors. Enjoy a woodland walk in particular. I generally work 4 days per week until 2pm. I am usually available Monday or Friday plus weekends and school holidays. Flexible with timings to suit your pet’s schedule. Overnight often also available. I take safety and security very seriously and always check doors and gates are closed. In my home I have a secure fenced garden. I have space for play with your pets and for naps!

“Pavan came and spent a day with the dogs, he is very polite and well educated and demonstrated to genuinely love dogs. He paid attention about their food and medication needs so she can do it in the future and showed a very good attitude.”

Eduardo R.

“Was a pleasure to have Maria look after our puppy. She is super easy going, friendly and extremely helpful as well. Highly recommended and will definitely be a regular sitter for us.”
