House Sitting Hinckley

About: I recently lost my lovely Labrador and really miss having a little four-legged friend around the house. I’ve always been an animal lover and genuinely enjoy giving them plenty of attention, getting out for walks and having some company during the day. I work from home, which means I’m around for most of the day and can be really flexible around your dog’s usual routine. Whether they need regular walks, toilet breaks, lots of play and attention, or simply someone to curl up next to while I work, I’m happy to fit around what they’re used to. Having had my own Labrador, I completely understand how important it is to know your dog is with someone who will genuinely care for them. I’ll treat them like one of my own and, of course, send you plenty of little updates and photos while they’re with me 🐶❤️ I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day and have lots of flexibility when it comes to looking after your dog. I can fit walks, toilet breaks, feeding and playtime around their normal routine, and they’ll have plenty of company and attention while they’re with me. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, so I’ll always care for them as I would my own. I’m happy to follow any routines or instructions you have, from feeding and walks to where they sleep and what they’re allowed to do at home. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and very loved while they’re with me, with plenty of updates for you too 🐾❤️

“Lisa looked after Dora for a week while we were on holiday. She was always in good contact and sent pics as we missed our girl 🐶 Dora was in great spirit when we came home so we could tell she'd been well looked after 😊”

About: I’ve had the experience of looking after and caring for my own family dogs and cats growing up and have the trust from friends and neighbours to look after theirs. I am a university student so having the flexibility in hours that pet care offers, gives me the opportunity to do something that I would really love and enjoy doing around my studying. I am also a really active person I go for walks daily and having a little buddy to join me would make those walks a lot more fun. Caring for someone’s pet within their home I make sure that I have the specifics on how they look after their own pet when they are around to ensure a routine is kept as much as possible. I am an energetic person so a lot of playing around but also a lot of snuggles to.

“Leanna is everything you could need in a pet sitter. Her consistent updates and communication were brilliant and we felt more than comfortable with our cat being in her care, especially with her medication. She’s so friendly and goes above and beyond to make sure your pet is given not only their basic needs but lots of play and fuss too! Thank you again Leanna. ☺️”

“This was Hannah's first time looking after our fur babies and she was amazing with our boys. She followed all instructions and beyond giving them all the care and love they could possibly have 🥰 lots of updates and pictures which I asked for and Hannah left our home just as clean as when we left. I already have repeat bookings for the future and can highly recommend Hannah for your fur babies too!”

“Tia was an amazing pet sitter for our cat, Gigi, and our dog, Buster! She took the time to meet with us a week beforehand to go over their schedules and learn about their needs, which really showed her attention to detail and dedication. She arrived on time, walked Buster multiple times, and sent us regular photo updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Not only did she take wonderful care of our pets, but she also went above and beyond—taking out the bins, keeping the house tidy, and being incredibly respectful of our home. Tia is kind, reliable, and truly cares about the animals she looks after. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be booking her again in the future! Highly recommend! Highly recommend Tia and she will our first choice to book again!”

About: I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have always enjoyed caring for and building bonds with them. Growing up, I regularly looked after my family’s dogs, including a Sheltie, a long-haired Poodle and a Cockapoo, giving me experience with different breeds, personalities and sizes. For over 5 years, I have also volunteered with a local Husky rescue, where I have gained hands-on experience caring for rescue dogs and helping them feel safe and comfortable. I have fostered rescue dogs and have even adopted one myself, so I understand how important patience, routine and reassurance can be, particularly for dogs who may be nervous or anxious. I have also helped with basic training, teaching rescue dogs commands such as sit and lie down, as well as helping them learn and respond to new names. I am confident working with dogs who need a little extra patience and reassurance and really enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual. Most importantly, I genuinely love spending time with dogs! Whether they are tiny, giant, energetic, nervous or just looking for a cuddle, I am happy to give them the attention, affection and care they deserve. 🐾❤️ I work as a teacher, so during term time I am generally out of the house from around 7am until 4pm on school days. However, I have much more availability at weekends and during school holidays, when I can dedicate plenty of time to caring for your dog. When I am looking after a pet, I make sure they are not left alone for long periods. Throughout the day, I am never usually away for more than around 4 hours at a time, and I can provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime and cuddles around my schedule. I am happy to discuss your dog’s individual routine and needs to make sure they feel comfortable and settled. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my priority. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to get to know their individual personality, routine and needs. I am especially comfortable with anxious or nervous dogs and know how important patience, reassurance and a calm environment can be. I am happy to follow your usual feeding, walking and care routines and can provide plenty of attention, playtime and cuddles. I will treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own, keeping you updated while you are away so you can have peace of mind.

About: Hi, I'm Dani. I am a mum to 2 children, and we have a dog and 2 cats at home. I run my own business creating personalised gifts, which is my main job, but my friend recommended this site because of my love for animals, and knowing it's not practical for me to have any more of my own at home at the moment! I've lived in Hinckley for 7 years, and before that I lived in Tenerife for 12 years, where I rescued 7 cats, 2 dogs, a bunch of chickens and a duck. One of the cats was found on the street when she was a couple of days old, so I had to hand rear her with bottled milk. She came with us from Tenerife when we moved back, along with another cat and one of our dogs. I am self employed so I can fit my work around my pet clients. My hours are flexible and can be amended if needs be. I work to each client's needs individually. Some prefer me to keep their cats in while they are away. Others like me to let them out in the mornings and bring them back inside in the evenings. No two client's situations are the same. Contact with my human client will be kept up throughout the booking so everyone stays informed.

“Craig was fantastic throughout his stay at our house with our two dogs Bodie and Wanda. We were concerned about Wanda being away from home, having only been with us for a month so we wanted her to stay at the house with a sitter. She took to Craig really well and we felt reassured that she was with someone kind and loved dogs as much as we do. Craig's experience with dogs means he is patient, understanding and loves being around them. He knows how to handle a big dog which is important to us, as Bodie can be overpowering on the lead. He communicated with us regularly and we came home to find two very happy dogs, walked and the house in the same way we had left it. We definitely will be calling on Craig again!”

“Hollie has been absolutely exceptional in caring for our dog, Bear, who is an older dog and not quick to warm to new people. From the outset, Hollie showed genuine patience, kindness, and understanding, taking the time to build trust at Bear’s pace. Bear is currently on medication for arthritis, and Hollie managed this impeccably throughout the week, ensuring her routine was followed carefully. She adapted wonderfully to Bear’s needs, providing plenty of reassurance, gentle walks, and lots of affection, which made a huge difference to Bear’s comfort and confidence. Hollie stayed in our home for the week, and we returned to find it extremely well cared for—clean, tidy, and clearly respected. We were also kept regularly updated with photos and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to see the lovely bond developing between them as the week went on. We would not hesitate to recommend Hollie and will absolutely be booking her every time we need care for Bear in the future.”

“Jiahui was fantastic! Riley is a difficult dog, but she managed to become his friend very quickly. He had a great time with her. I got lots of updates, pictures, so I had a very good time as well, knowing that Riley is in such good hands. Thank you very much, Jiahui and Rover Looking forward to our next meeting!”

About: Hi I'm Amy, I love pets, but I don't have the support network around me at the moment to support me having my own. This is why I would love to offer others the same where I can. I don't have any children or other pets. I have a background in dog training and have had 2 of my own dogs in the past, one with separation anxiety, so I understand how hard this can be. I work from home so I would be able to have a calm dog with me whilst I work to keep them company or pop in to your dog for a walk to get out of the house at lunchtime. I enjoy walking in my spare time and snuggling on the sofa, so it would be nice to offer a dog a home away from home when their owners need a holiday too I work from home most days so would be available to look after a pet at my home in the week and weekends where possible. I have a large garden and an open home for your pet to have the space they need. I will give them the care they expect at home and help where I can with making the experience as stress free as possible. I am very keen to work with you and your pet with any ongoing training requirements too

About: Growing up, I was always surrounded by dogs, so caring for animals has been a natural part of my life. My family has had both a Belgian Shepherd and a German Shepherd, which means I'm confident and comfortable with large breeds as well as smaller dogs. We currently have two lovable Bulldogs, and I also regularly help care for my grandmother's two cats. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that's going for walks, playing, giving them company, or simply making sure they feel safe and loved. I'm also happy to handle feeding, cleaning, and any mess that comes with pet care. What sets me apart is my attention to detail. I know every pet has their own routine, and I always follow owners' instructions carefully so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away. I’m currently working part time and from home, so I have plenty of free time to look after your dogs or cats. I’m available on weekdays and weekends as well, also very flexible in time. If I would like me to stay over at your house to company your pet I would love to do that, following the owner’s detailed instructions so everything can go smoothly.

“Claire was a fantastic dog sitter for my very demanding parsons Russell terrier. She sent reassuring photos and messages and I felt he was in very safe hands. I would highly recommend her.”

“Laura stayed overnight with our dog and two cats. She took care of everyone beautifully. A polite and respectful house guest. Will definitely use her again.”

“Maisie looked after my two dogs and cat in our home. One of my dogs has a tricky temperament and it is fairly challenging to manage her needs. Maisie was attentive to her needs and took amazing care of all of the animals and we returned to them happy and calm. I would recommend Maisie without hesitation.”

“Chloe is a brilliant sitter. We felt right at ease after the meet and greet. She is punctual, polite, friendly and the dogs have really warmed to her. We are now using Chloe regularly.”

“Colin and Cris are amazing. We left our beloved pooches with them.for over 2 weeks which for a first time sit, was quite daunting for us. We couldn't have asked for more, as we received regular updates and photos and we truly felt happy that our two little ones were being loved and well cared for. We came home to very happy pooches and we cannot thank Colin and Cris enough ! It made our holiday so much better knowing they were in good hands. Thank.you again guys xxxx”
