House Sitting Holsworthy

“We are so pleased we found Richard and Emma to look after our 2 dogs and our cat while we went away. We got regular updates and photos from them and the dogs were taken on lots of lovely long walks. They even helped us out with looking after our daughter's fish tanks while we were away and they watered the garden and left our house clean and tidy. Highly recommended and will definitely use them again in the future!”

“Very friendly,and lovely,Kody loved him and was very very looked after.Walked Kody in the evening he can be a bit of an handful when you take him out the front door ok once you are in the park. Looked after the house wonderfully. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Alexander again. I recommend Alexander to all if you are considering a pet and house sitter.”

“We really couldn’t have asked for better cat sitters than Holly and Giles. We felt completely reassured knowing our rather nervous kitty was in such kind, capable and thoughtful hands. They kept us updated while we were away and clearly treated Olive with genuine care and affection rather than it just being a job. The fact that she joined them on the sofa for cuddles was a miracle! Coming home to an obviously happy, relaxed cat and the house so well looked after gave us complete peace of mind and meant we could properly enjoy our time away without worrying. We’re incredibly grateful to Holly and Giles and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring and professional pet sitters. Thank you so much!!!! 🐱💖🥰🐾🐾”

About: I began by independently fostering a pregnant cat who I rescued from the streets, providing housing and care throughout her pregnancy and raising her kittens to ensure their health and development. This experience led me to a role at an animal rescue, where I worked for approximately a year caring for rescue cats and dogs, managing all aspects of their care. A key part of this work involved confidence building, to ensure good quality of life. Consistent handling to help the animals feel secure and settle into their new environment. I’m currently working from home so I will be in your dogs/cats company for majority of the day. Typically I do a daily big walk for myself so this is something your dog can potentially join in on. I live in a small studio apartment in the country side with a large garden (not fenced in) lots of land surrounding me, and many nature walks. There are friendly dogs on the property which your dog can befriend depending on your preference for that.

“Sarah was very lovely and responsive throughout her stay with our two boys. She sent lots of pictures and took our boys for day trips with her. I would definitely recommend using her, our boys had the best time with her 😊 we came back to our flat being very clean and tidy as well, we’ll definitely be using her again xx”

“George was a great comfort whilst looking after Cassie and Coral for us in our home. The dogs took to him immediately which always helps when you are leaving your dogs. When we came home, they were relaxed and seemed to have enjoyed their time with George. Highly recommended if you need someone to house sit with your fur baby.”

About: I grew up surrounded by animals and have always loved caring for and learning about them. Over the years I’ve had many different animals of my own, and I currently have my little dog Kai, who is a very important part of my family. My love for animals has also been influenced by my dad’s work in wildlife conservation, so I’ve grown up with a real appreciation for animals and their individual needs. I’ve also had experience working in a veterinary practice, which I absolutely loved, and I’m now starting my training to become a Student Veterinary Nurse. I’m naturally very patient, gentle and attentive with animals, and I really enjoy getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I understand how much trust is involved in leaving your pet with someone else, so I’ll always treat them with the same care and attention I’d want for my own pets. At the moment, I have a very flexible schedule, which means I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the animals in my care. I’m currently taking some time to focus on gaining more experience with animals before starting my training as a Student Veterinary Nurse. My days are generally quite flexible, so I can fit around your pet’s usual routine rather than expecting them to fit around mine. I enjoy getting outdoors, going for walks and spending time with animals, so pet sitting and dog walking is something I genuinely enjoy doing. I’m happy to discuss individual routines, feeding times, walks and any other requirements your pet may have, and I’ll always do my best to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my biggest priorities. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can feel like a big decision, so I’ll always take the time to understand their routine, personality, likes and any specific needs before looking after them. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where they can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment, and I’m also able to welcome pets into my home where appropriate. My own little dog is friendly and used to being around other animals, and I would always make sure any introductions are done carefully and at a pace that is comfortable for everyone. I’m responsible, attentive and safety-conscious, and I’ll keep you updated while you’re away so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care that I would my own, and most importantly, I’ll treat your pet as one of my own.

“Eden was really good! Eden kept me update how my pup was getting on and sent plenty of photos. I felt really comfortable leaving my pup with Eden. He looked to have had a great time. Thank you Eden!”

“Sophie is trustworthy, helpful, reliable and caring. She took care of my dog, whilst also looking after my home, when I was away. I was kept updated at all times and felt very reassured and confident to leave all that's precious to me in her care.”

About: I am an animal care professional with 25years experience caring for exotic animals in zoos and safari parks. For the past 10 years I have focussed on pet care while living in Tenerife! From dogs and cats to parrots and pigs! I believe in love and attention for our pets in abundance. I am also an advocate for positivity and kindness in pet care ...as I am a positive reinforcement dog trainer. I recently lost my pug to old age . I can´t wait for some cuddles to fill the gap my little boy pug has left in my heart. I am just starting on Rover but I can provide references from previous pet sits I have done, as well as vets AND zoos I have worked for. Our pets are our family. Peace of mind knowing they are being loved and cared for while you are away is my priority. I currently work online, which gives me plenty of flexibility and means pet care fits really naturally into my day. I’m able to spend lots of time with the animals I’m looking after rather than having to rush off to work for hours at a time. I can easily work around feeding times, playtime, medication or just keeping them company, and because I work from my laptop, I’m very happy having a furry companion nearby while I work! I absolutely love animals, and their happiness and wellbeing will always come first when they’re in my care. I also understand how strange it can feel leaving your pets — and your home — in someone else’s hands, so I want you to feel completely relaxed while you’re away. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, exercise, medication and all their little individual habits and preferences. I’m very respectful of each animal’s personality and will never force attention — if they want cuddles, yay! ..and if they prefer their own space, that’s absolutely fine too. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own, keep everything secure and tidy, and send you regular updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing everything is being well looked after and spoiled rotten!

“Thank you so much Sophie & Nick. My dog is very anxious and has separation anxiety. Sophie & Nick took the time to get to know him and gently introduce him. It's clear to me how much they care about dogs, as my boy was very well looked after. Sophie sent lots of photos snd regularly updated me on how he was managing. Highly recommended and will certainly book their services again.”

About: I'm a qualified dog walker and pet sitter. I have qualified in level 2 animal care, level 2 vet nursing and level 3 pet first aid. I have grown up with a variety of different types of pets. I have been working with dogs for the last 8 years. I work with your pets during the day and then I have an evening job that is 3 hours and not related to animals. The evening job is near my home, so I will only do it if I'm on local sits. I will put your dogs in a crate or a safe room in the house, if I'm going out to the shops. I make sure outside space is safe for your pet.
