House Sitting Hook

“We are so grateful to have found Julie and lucky that she had space to look after our 2 lovely feline family members Julie is so caring and nurturing. Our younger cat Tinsel is very nervous of people and I was quite worried about leaving him for a week as I thought he would not come in the house..how wrong I was. Julie worked her magic and he came in every night for her, letting her cuddle and fuss him and eating his meals for her. It's a miracle as he won't let anyone other than us go near him Our elderly lady Sasha was another worry as at 20 she has her routine and being part Siamese she still loves a lot of attention from us. But Julie looked after her so well and we felt very reassured Julie really understands cats, she gets to know them and she is in time with their personalities To top it all off Julie washed our towels and bedding, hung them out, cleaned and tidied and cooked our tea!!! She's an angel. 10 stars”

About: I grew up looking after fantail doves, and since becoming a business owner and digital nomad in 2024, I've loved petsitting for many animals across the world. From dogs to cats to goats to goldfish, I've loved learning who they are, supporting them in their homes and having a fun & rewarding time with them in the process! I have experience with animals of all ages including week old puppies, senior dogs and cats. I work remotely in my own business, which allows me to live flexibly and support your pets with the routine and life they're used to whilst you're away. I enjoy settling into homes, caring for pets as part of my daily rhythm, and experiencing new people and places. * I'm DBS checked and insured I've loved petsitting for many animals in their homes across the world. I've loved learning who they are, supporting them in their homes and having a fun & rewarding time with them in the process! I have no problem giving them the care the need including routine, medication, love and play. I'm also quite a greenthumb and had plenty of plants and grew food on my balcony before becoming a digital nomad full time. I'm also used to dealing with any house issues that arise!

About: I have always haad dogs in the past and have looked after friends and familys dogs and stll do i dont currently have any dogs as i want to travel more butt also like the company of a fury baby so i can look after your peys while i am at home hey i can have your dogs most dates and times as a unni student but i do like to travel so some dates may be unavailable I have a very pet friendly house and garden with high and secure fences and I am very cautious on making sure they are safe and happy while they are with me. I love pets and would always make sure they are well

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young, having 3 family dogs in the home. I love the outdoors and walking loads too for the more adventurous dogs too! I work hybrid so have the flexibility to WFH meaning lots of cuddles and toilet breaks, plenty of walks and engagement. I also work half days on Friday so have the availability to walk on Friday afternoons too. I am happy to view homes before dog sitting and understand the environment in which your pet lives in, will require the basic needs of your dog before hand and learn about their habits (no off lead etc)

“Excellent experience with will, lovely guy, I felt very comfortable leaving eden with him. Eden was relaxed in his company and had a great time. Recommended”

“Megan was brilliant from start to finish. I have two labs and one of them is very nervous. She was happy to come and meet them beforehand and my nervous dog loves her! She kept me updated throughout her stay and the house was immaculate. Our dogs are usually quite stressed when we return but they weren’t this time and it was lovely to see!”

Courtney J.

“Nicole has a lovely vibe and quickly bonded with my one year-old terrier. Nicole communicates brilliantly. Dora had a lovely time with her today and came back chilled and happy. I will definitely be asking Nicole for help again!”

About: My husband and I have had pets our entire life, so caring for animals truly comes naturally to us. Although we sadly no longer have our own dog, our love for animals hasn’t changed – and we now have a warm, welcoming home ready to help other families by caring for their dogs and cats when they need it most. I work from home so no pets will be left on their own. Your pet will be part of our routine at all times unless otherwise specified by you as an owner. Our home is very much a home-from-home environment, where pets are treated as part of the family. We have a gentle and animal-loving 2-year-old who absolutely adores pets and has grown up around them, so kindness and respect for animals is something we value deeply in our household. We also have plenty of pets within our wider family, so animals are always part of our lives.

“Leah personality matched very well my little cutie. Benny is very selective and introverted but he followed her when she left, he really didn’t want to see her go.”

About: NHS Chemotherapy Nurse | 🌿 Cinnamon Trust Volunteer | Vegetarian🌱 | 🩵 Lifelong Animal Lover * 🐾 Experienced with rescue, elderly, reactive & medical-needs pets | 🏡 Trusted house & pet sitter with references. Hello, I’m Sammie, it’s lovely to meet you and thank you for taking the time to visit my profile! If you ask the people who know me best what I’m most passionate about, the answer will always be the same…animals! For as long as I can remember, animals have been my greatest source of happiness, comfort and purpose. To me, they are family, and I believe every pet deserves to be treated with love, patience, kindness and respect. My experience🐾 I have been around animals all my life. I currently have four indoor rescue cats, all raised from kittens, and two dogs with very different needs. One of my dogs is elderly with arthritis, so I’m experienced in administering medication, adapting walks and monitoring his comfort. My other dog is reactive and anxious, giving me first-hand experience of building trust with nervous dogs through patience, routine and understanding. I’ve also cared for smaller pets including guinea pigs, hamsters and gerbils. As the owner of four indoor cats, I’m especially mindful of keeping doors, windows and escape routes secure, understanding the extra vigilance indoor cats require. Trusted Pet & House Sitter🏡 I’m incredibly proud and grateful that colleagues regularly ask me to care for both their pets and their homes because they know they’ll be safe, loved and well looked after. On multiple occasions, I have pet and house sat for my colleague’s Bullmastiff, Tyga. By the end of his sits, Tyga had formed a wonderful bond with me and had settled beautifully with me in his home, and my colleague fed back that she was delighted with the care I provided for both Tyga and her home. I’m also booked to care for another colleague’s two rescue cats later this year, and references are available. Tailored Care for Every Pet🦮 Every pet is different, and I believe their care should reflect that. I never expect an animal to adapt to me, I adapt to them and their needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, enrichment and adventure or simply prefers quiet companionship and affection, I’ll adapt my care to suit their individual personality and routine. As your sitter, it is important for me to understand your pets habits, medical needs, favourite activities and anything else that helps them feel safe, relaxed and happy. Experienced and comfortable with the following: ✔ Medication administration ✔ Elderly pets ✔ Puppies & kittens ✔ Rescue animals ✔ Reactive & anxious dogs ✔ Multiple pets & different routines ✔ Monitoring health and wellbeing I’ll also familiarise myself with your preferred veterinary practice before every booking. 🌿 Cinnamon Trust I’m proud to volunteer with The Cinnamon Trust, supporting elderly and terminally ill people by helping care for the pets they love. It’s a role that reflects my passion for animal welfare and helping others. As a hobby, and whilst I am no professional, I thoroughly enjoy capturing pictures of animals and pets! If your pet is willing to pose (or not!), you are welcome to receive a few professional-looking photos alongside your regular updates! 📸🐾 Trusted home care🧺 My aim is to fit seamlessly into your home without disrupting it, treating it with exactly the same care and respect that I would my own. I’m a non-smoker, non-drinker, DBS checked, extremely clean, tidy and respectful. I’m also happy to water plants, collect post, put bins out and help with general household upkeep. Keeping You Updated and communication📞📷 I’ll happily send regular photos, videos and updates throughout your time away, giving you peace of mind that your pets are happy, settled and receiving lots of love and attention. I’ll care for your pets with the same love, patience and dedication that I give my own, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’ll be safe, happy and genuinely cared for. I’m an NHS chemotherapy nurse working part-time, primarily on Mondays and Fridays from 8am to 6pm. Working part-time gives me the flexibility to provide reliable, attentive and personalised care around my shifts. I carefully manage my diary and only accept bookings when I know I can dedicate the time, care and attention your pet deserves. When caring for your pet, their routine becomes my priority. Whether that’s early morning walks, administering medication, feeding schedules, enrichment, playtime or simply providing companionship, I understand how important consistency is for animals and will always do my best to maintain their normal routine, helping them feel settled, happy and secure while you’re away. As every pet has different needs, I’m always happy to discuss my availability before confirming a booking. While I primarily work Mondays and Fridays, if your pet is comfortable being left for a few hours during those times, I’m more than happy to discuss this on an individual basis. Equally, if your pet requires more constant companionship, we can explore dates that better suit both their needs and my availability. Transparency is very important to me, and I’ll always be honest about my schedule so you can make the best decision for your pet with complete confidence. Weekends, bank holidays and school holidays are also open and free for me to book! Your pet’s safety, happiness and wellbeing will always be my number one priority. Before every booking, I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet so I can get to know you, your pets, their routines and any specific needs or preferences. As an NHS nurse, I’m DBS checked, organised, calm under pressure and experienced in recognising subtle changes in wellbeing. I’m comfortable caring for elderly pets, rescue animals, nervous or reactive dogs, administering medication and following detailed care instructions. I’ll familiarise myself with your preferred veterinary practice and emergency contacts before every stay, so I can respond quickly should anything unexpected arise. I treat every home with the utmost respect, leaving it exactly as I found it, and I’m happy to water plants, collect post, put bins out and help with general household upkeep while you’re away. My aim is to provide complete peace of mind, knowing both your beloved pets and your home are in safe, caring and trustworthy hands. Having four indoor rescue cats of my own, I’m acutely aware of the importance of keeping indoor cats safe within their home environment. I’m extremely conscientious about ensuring doors, windows and any other potential escape points are secure before entering or leaving the property. I understand that this level of vigilance provides invaluable peace of mind for owners, and it’s a standard of care I naturally practise every day with my own pets.

About: I’m a 5th-year veterinary student with lots of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. Before vet school, I worked as a student veterinary nurse, where I regularly cared for animals in practice and also provided cat sitting for clients of the veterinary clinic. I’m confident caring for cats with all sorts of personalities and needs, from playful kittens to shy or senior cats. I’m comfortable giving medication, following specific care routines, and keeping a close eye on your pet’s health and behaviour. I’ve also looked after many dogs for friends, family and clients, so I’m happy caring for both! I’m reliable, calm and genuinely love spending time with animals. As a vet student, your pet’s wellbeing is always my top priority, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection and care while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time alongside my veterinary studies, so I have plenty of flexibility for pet sitting. I’m generally available on weekends and on weekdays, with some daytime availability depending on my university schedule. I’m happy to arrange visits around your pet’s usual routine and will always make sure they receive plenty of attention, care and companionship. I will be on my rotation year from September 2026 so will be looking for cat/dog sitting in different areas of the country, otherwise I'm based in SW London. I’m a 5th-year veterinary student with previous experience as a student veterinary nurse, so I’m very comfortable caring for animals safely and responsibly. I’m attentive to changes in behaviour or health and confident following specific feeding, medication and care instructions. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would my own, keeping doors and windows secure and making sure your pet is safe, comfortable and settled. Im based in a maisonette flat in Earlsfield with a small garden.

“Excellent dog sitter. Maisie paid such great attention to our dog and gave her plenty of exercise. Daily photo updates were excellent. Usually Lunar is ecstatic to see us but she has been so at ease with Maisie that she was very laid back about our return, far less stressed than usual. Would definitely recommend.”

About: I grew up with three cats and two dogs. I have a deep understanding of feline body language and emotional needs. I am patient in building their trust and happy to play with them. I have just completed my Master's degree at the University of Leeds and am approaching graduation. I'm currently in a free and fulfilling life transition, travelling and writing as a way of exploring the world. My schedule is highly flexible, and I'm available for most of the day to give cats my full attention. Pet care isn't a chore for me, because it's a natural part of daily life, and I genuinely cherish the quiet, gentle moments spent with animals. I have lived in both a house with a private garden and a high-rise city apartment, which gives me hands-on experience caring for cats in very different environments. I understand the specific considerations each setting requires: in a garden, that means monitoring escape routes and keeping an eye out for other animals; in an apartment, it means securing windows and ensuring balcony safety. Wherever I am, I always carry out a quick safety assessment so cats feel relaxed and well looked-after even in an unfamiliar space. I'm also a passionate photographer, and I love documenting the little moments of a cat's day through photos and videos. Owners can always count on regular updates, so they feel connected and reassured even when they're away.
