House Sitting Hertsmere

About:

“Joe was great with our dog, Obie, and cat, Lennie! They were very relaxed after their time with him and well looked after. He left our house very tidy too. We have booked Joe to look after them for a week long holiday, so we would highly recommend!”

“Sena recently looked after our kitten Bruno on a housesitting basis for 1 week. It was our first time using the type of service and Sena was really professional, responsive and immediately put us at ease. Right from the meet and greet, we knew Bruno would be in good hands! We received daily photo and video updates and the communication has been brilliant throughout the whole process. We cannot recommend Sena highly enough and definitely be reaching out to her again next time we need a sitter!”

“We couldn’t recommend Rita highly enough! ❤️ She looked after our Springer Spaniel, Teddy, for 10 days, and from the very beginning she was absolutely wonderful. We received daily updates, photos and little glimpses of how Teddy was getting on, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was hard for us initially, as we had never left Teddy with someone we didn’t know before. But Rita quickly put us at ease, and it was clear how much love, care and attention she gave our Teddy boy. 🐾❤️ We honestly think Teddy is missing her now that she’s gone — he’s been a little sad since she left! 🥹 We’re so grateful we found Rita. We’ll definitely be keeping in touch, because we feel like we’ve not only found someone we completely trust with Teddy, but also a lovely new friend who shares the same love for our very special boy. ❤️ Thank you, Rita, for taking such amazing care of Teddy. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better! 🐶💕”

“Kai is great: she was super quick to understand Ollie's needs and routine, and was communicative throughout the sitting sending photos and updates. We could tell Ollie was very happy to be in her company because he took to her immediately and was very happy when she arrived despite seeing her for the first time. Will see you soon! :)”

About: I have successfully trained my puppy, so much so he won’t jump up at the door anymore! Will treat your dog like it is my own and send lots of piccys I work remotely on flexible hours able to take various breaks within the day which is why I have my availability set for when I’m not in the office. I can walk and check in various times of the day or even bring my laptop along when house sitting. I will ensure your dog is not left unattended and remains stimulated with walks and playing. So hopefully they are tired for when you’re home!!

About: I grew up with all kinds of animals around me. I got my own dog when I was 12. I loved training him and cuddling him. He's living with my mom now because I'm living away from home but I still love him to pieces. We love having puppies in my family but since I moved to London Im not able to have one of my own, hence offering to look after your loved dogs. I chose to sign up here and help other people fill the time with their puppies so they always feel loved and safe. If you have any questions about pricing, Im also happy to discuss :) Im not working full time, so my days look always different. Feel free to message me before booking to go over your & your pets needs. The animals are the main character I'm just happy to be a part of their world. Honestly, I'm here to listen to their needs and your preferences and expectations to make you and your baby feel safe about me spending time with them.

“Debra has been absolutely wonderful with my cat! Reliable, caring, and clearly a true animal lover. I came home to a happy, relaxed kitty and regular updates while I was away made all the difference. Highly recommend!”

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. Will also look after cats if required. 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.

“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!”

“Marian was excellent, we can highly recommend. Great feedback and communication, dog happy and well cared for, as was the house. He even watered the plants, very kind, would definitely book again. Thank you Marian”

About: While I don't have formal pet-sitting experience yet, I’ve spent the last 10 years caring for my own senior cat, so I'm well-versed in the daily routines, patience, and love that pets deserve. I'm a massive animal lover across the board and am just as comfortable keeping a dog happy, walked, and entertained as I am looking after felines. I know how tough it is to leave your pets behind, and I’ll treat yours with the exact same care and attention I give my own. I have a highly flexible routine which gives me plenty of dedicated time for pet care. I’m fully available for boarding and sitting over the weekends, and on weekdays I am free anytime after 2pm to focus entirely on walking, feeding, and playing with your pets. Whether looking after your pets in my home or yours, safety is my top priority. I focus on maintaining their exact feeding and walking routines to keep them happy, and I always ensure doors and gates are fully secured. Your pets will receive constant attention, love, and care

“Jewel was fantastic. We came home to a very happy, relaxed dog, and she kept us updated with a lovely photo while we were away. The house was spotless and tidy when we returned. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”

“Demi is such a lovely and warm dog sitter. She is punctual, trustworthy and Murphy really enjoyed having her company while we were out!”

Sam J.

“So thrilled to have met James! He took such amazing care of our puppy and his ‘brothers’ (2 guinea pigs and a leopard gecko)! All were happy, well-fed and a little bit spoiled for a week. Our house was cleaner than when we left it! We would love to have James come back on our next trip away. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi, I'm Sarah! I've been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, having grown up with pets throughout my childhood, and I currently have a dog of my own. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, so looking after dogs comes naturally to me. I absolutely adore dogs, and every dog that stays with me is treated as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs, so i provide plenty of love, patience, care and attention to ensure they feel safe, happy and comfortable while you're away. I believe dogs thrive when they're given both physical exercise and mental stimulation, so regular walks, playtime and enrichment are all part of the care i provide. Whether your dog enjoys long adventures, gentle strolls or simply lots of cuddles on the sofa. My goal is to make sure they enjoy themselves just as much as you enjoy your time away. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. You can have peace of mind knowing your dog will be cared for with kindness, integrity and genuine affection every step of the way. I'm currently on my summer break from working in a school, so for the next six weeks I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your dog. After the holidays, I'll continue to be available on weekends. Your dog's routine will always be my priority, with walks twice a day as standard, and three times a day if they enjoy extra exercise or need additional stimulation. I understand that every dog is different, so I'm happy to adapt to their usual routine and energy levels to ensure they feel comfortable, happy and well cared for. Your dog's safety, happiness and wellbeing are my top priorities. We have a secure, enclosed garden where dogs can safely play, explore and go to the toilet whenever they need. I also have plenty of toys and enjoy spending quality time playing games and providing mental stimulation to keep dogs happy and engaged. I have a crate available if your dog is crate trained or if you would prefer them to have their own quiet space. Every dog in my care will be treated like a member of the family, receiving lots of love, patience and attention in a safe, calm and caring home. I will always follow your instructions regarding feeding, medication, walks and routines so your dog feels as settled and comfortable as possible.

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.

“Paula was professional, reliable and conscientious. She took great care of my kitten and kept him company. She clearly loves animals and I would definitely use her again.”

“Isabella was absolutely fantastic, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or to ask her to come back. Luna is a timid cat and takes a while to get used to new people but Isabella won her over really quickly - not only that but Isabella was house-sitting through the heatwave and made sure Luna kept cool and safe throughout. This was the first time I have left Luna and was very reassured to know that Luna was in good hands. I'm so grateful - thanks Isabella!”

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals. I have both dogs and cats back home in Peru, and now, as a Peruvian living in Manchester, I continue to be passionate about pets. I’m very patient with animals, giving them the love they need while always respecting their space. My first experience was with my senior mixed-breed dog, Mike, who is now 15 years old. I also have a young French Bulldog, Nacho, who is 3 years old and knows tricks like giving his paw and sitting. Additionally, I care for my two cats, and all my pets get along well with each other. My experience with both senior and young dogs, as well as cats, gives me a unique perspective on multi-pet households and how to ensure harmony between them. I work part-time three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets during the rest of the week. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or simply being there to keep them company, I ensure that your pets receive the attention they need when you’re away. In both my home and the pet owner's home, I focus on creating a safe and comfortable environment where pets can thrive. I stick to established routines, including daily walks, feeding times, and any specific instructions provided. I’m particularly mindful of dietary needs, as one of my own pets required a special diet, so I’m well-prepared to manage pets with unique food requirements. When caring for pets in the owner's home, I’m respectful of household rules and preferences. I easily adapt to different environments, ensuring that I follow any specific guidelines related to pet care, such as areas where pets are allowed or special instructions for their care. I work autonomously, so owners can trust that their pets are in capable hands without needing to worry about constant supervision.
