House Sitting in High Peak

“Lauren is super professional and took great care of our cockapoo Rosie! Rosie loved her from the start and enjoyed her walks and cuddles! Lauren kept us updated with pictures and had great comms throughout. Would be happy to welcome her into our home again, Rosie can’t wait! 🐾❤️”

About: With a lifelong passion for animals, I've lived with pets in the Peak District since the age of six and started my first pet care role at just 13 years old. As a qualified dog walker and pet care provider, I hold a Dog Training Diploma (CPD, QLS) and a Canine First Aid qualification (CPD, UKRLP), giving you complete peace of mind that your dog is in safe, knowledgeable hands. Based in Chinley, I provide reliable and professional dog walking and pet care services throughout the local area, covering locations within a 5-mile radius. Whether your canine companion needs regular walks, one-to-one care, or expert handling, you can trust me to deliver a caring, experienced, and personalised service. A great lover of the outdoors I am out hiking or running in the beautiful surroundings of the Peak District daily with my own rescue hound Rupert. I've grown up with dogs of all sizes and been lucky enough to have three of my own rescues. My current boy Rupert was adopted at 11 weeks and I have trained him to be a friendly and obedient beast (he's 45kgs!). I have a dog training diploma and canine first aid qualification and I'm in the process of studying for diplomas in dog behaviour and nutrition to formalise my experience. I also have two moggies, Loki and Stewie who we adopted from a local farm who love the wild environment we live in and their snuggles in bed every day. I would want to know everything from you about your pets needs, from daily routine to key voice commands to ensure a safe and trusting environment is maintained. I'd follow your lead on their needs and work within the four pillars of of the positively approach (as taught by Victoria Stilwell; appreciate the dogs point of view, recognise and meet the dogs needs, understand and apply positive training/ leadership, avoid fear and intimidation).

“Emma was the perfect dogsitter! Our dog adored her and was sad to see her go, she was so well looked after (even taking her to the vet for a minor check up) and we had regular updates throughout the stay which was lovely to see. The house was even left spotless! Would highly recommend.”

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up, mainly German shepherds, Rottweilers and even tiny dogs like Cavapoos and jack Russell’s, I spend my spare time going on new adventures with my own dog Darcy, I’ve only just started my business but I excel in new challenges like basic training, working on recall and lead pulling so you and your dog can then go on amazing adventures together. Working with puppies is something I’ve always wanted to do aswell as they can pick things up so much quicker and who wouldn’t want to spend there time playing with puppies. I’m currently working Part time so il have loads of time to spend with your animals, which will include fun walks, cuddles and lots of treats. Your animals will be spoilt and will be treated as if they were my own, morning and evening walks for your fur babies, if it’s just cats then it will include playing around the house with toys, plenty of cuddles and affection. They will never be left for longer than 3-4 hours Il be offering pet sitting at owners homes so will follow all instructions that you leave for your fur babies to be looked after, whether that’s daily medication at specific times, vet visits, il make sure we stick to your animals normal routines so they don’t feel too much of a change, they’ll be treated as if they were my own animals and will get lots of attention and mental stimulation

“Rich was brilliant! Booked to house sit for the evening while we went out. Great communication, really professional and the dogs both absolutely loved from him the minute he walked in the house. Would 100% recommend and will use again!”

“Having recently relocated we were in search of a new dog sitter. Our dog is 15 and needs daily medication, he is also anxious when left. We were keen to find someone who understood this and who would take care of him whilst we were away for a weekend. It is also a bit daunting to have someone staying in your house. All I can say is that Nichole was great and everything went well. Nichole was very understanding, calm and reassuring, she sent photo's twice a day over the weekend and we returned to a happy dog. Nichole looked after the house and we would definitely recommend her - in fact she is sitting for us again later in the year.”

“Stuart was absolutely fantastic with Ozzy. He offered to come and meet him the week before the sit, so Ozzy could get to know him first, which was really helpful, as Ozzy is really anxious and unsure of new people. This made him a lot more relaxed and comfortable when Stuart came to look after him as they had already met. He took Ozzy on a long walk, and also bought poo bags - as I forgot to leave some out for him 🤦🏼‍♀️ Would definitely use Stuart again to sit Ozzy and would highly recommend him!”

“This is the second time I’ve booked with Chloe, and once again the service was perfect. Chloe is professional, reliable, and clearly cares about the pets she looks after. I would 100% recommend her for any of your pet care requirements. 🐾”

“New to the area and to finding a house sitter for my 3 dogs I felt confident leaving them in Lauren's charge. They were all happy to see her again after our initial meet and greet. I have already booked Lauren for another visit.”

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and regularly car for family pets. I have a dog of my own that I trained since a puppy. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks and playtime. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, happy and sticking to their routines I’m currently available for anytime as I just finished college and thought this would be a great way to do something that I love I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I will treat your home with respect, follow all care instructions carefully, and maintain your dog’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Craig was great for our anxious lab, he really took the time to help him feel comfortable. Craig was really respectful of our home and sent us pictures through out the day.”

“Michelle was amazing with my 2 miniature dachshunds, my youngest can be funny with new people but he instantly took a shine to her. My oldest has had 2 spinal surgeries and so requires a little extra care but this was no issue! Would highly recommend Michelle, I’m booking her again later in the year. Thanks Michelle 🤩”

“Ellie looked after our puppy for the evening. Communication was brilliant before she came and updating us when we were out. Mabel was very happy with her and she obviously loves dogs a lot! Wouldn't hesitate recommending her to anyone”

About: I have had dogs my entire life and done volunteer work in dog shelters abroad. I’ve had four dogs of my own who all lived to old age, alongside dog boarding for friends and families dogs. More recently my blind diabetic dog who was 17. I have experience in caring for all breeds and sizes of dogs, including puppies and older dogs requiring medications. I understand how difficult it can be finding dog care and not wanting to use kennels which can be stressful for dogs. I live in a large dog friendly house on a nature reserve, with lots of walks on my doorstep and a large doggy day care room where dogs can play or chill out on the large dog sofa, beds. Whilst I am not ready to have any more dogs of my own, I miss having dogs around and I’m in the ideal position to be able to look after your dog/dogs here in the Peak District. I’m offering a bespoke dog boarding, day care, tailored to your dogs requirements. Rest assured that your dog will be on a holiday of its own with me. I am the biggest dog lover you’re likely to meet. Your pet will not have to fit into my routine, I will be fitting into your pets routine. Your pet will have my full attention whilst with me. We will be going on lots of long walks together and having fun. My house is very dog friendly and your dog would be free to roam around all the house. I would keep your dog in the same routine as you’d have at home. Your dog could have access to supervised outdoor space and would be taken on regular walks. Please note, I do not have a big garden but I do have an outdoor yard and decking areas, also a small front garden and patio area. Dogs would have regular walks. I have done volunteer work in dog shelters and can handle all types of dogs. I am also experienced in managing any physical ailments such as diabetes etc.

About: What sets me apart is my formal education in zoology combined with hands-on experience in the animal sector. I understand animal behavior, body language, and welfare on a deeper level than the average sitter, allowing me to tailor care to each dog’s individual needs. I’m attentive, knowledgeable, and calm in a variety of situations—whether that’s caring for energetic puppies, senior dogs, or pets that need a little extra patience and understanding. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time caring for and engaging with your dog throughout the day. Attentive, hands-on care for your beloved pet. I aim to create a safe, calm, and trusting environment where dogs can feel relaxed and secure (your dog’s home away from home). My background in zoology and animal care means I’m confident reading behaviour, managing routines, and prioritising welfare at all times. I follow care instructions closely, maintain consistent boundaries, and always put your dog’s safety and comfort first, treating them with the same care and respect I would my own.

“We were so pleased with the way Laura looked after Rosie .She is a kind ,caring person and we would be more than happy to have her stay with Rosie in our home again .”

“Adrianna has stayed with Dexter for 10 days in our house while we were on vacation. He seemed really well looked after and we got regular communication which gave us peace of mind. We would recommend Adrianna, she’s great! Thank you!”

I’m also passionate about the outdoors and enjoy hiking and walking, making the most of my time outside whenever possible. I am mainly available to work weekday evenings and weekends during the day.

If they get a little dirty, I’m happy to help clean and groom them using the resources available.

“Torrie was communicative right from the initial contact and kept me updated with daily messages about our two cats throughout the week we were away. The cats clearly thrived in her company! We came home to a clean, tidy house and, most importantly, two very happy cats. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
