House Sitting in Isle of Wight

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, studied animal science at college and am now studying marine biology at university. I trained my dog from a puppy (who i miss very much at uni!) so understand behaviour, and have experience working within multiple veterinary practices as a voluntary patient care assistant. I have also been entrusted to take care of multiple neighbours dogs, house-sitting and walks, including giving insulin injections. I’m currently on my summer break from university so have lots of availability alongside my summer lifeguarding job, and I enjoy early mornings so am happy to provide early walks! I am currently unable to offer services within my home but am happy to come to you! I understand that every dog has different needs and I will go above and beyond to ensure they are comfortable.

“Andrew was brilliant with Izzy! Kept us updated, sent pictures and was great dealing with Izzy’s energy level (very energetic/passionate). Izzy got so upset when he left that I’m sure she is looking forward to seeing him again. Thank you Andrew!”

About: I have grown up with cats. I adore them! Worked in Prison Service for 10 years so all DBS checks up to date. Relax while you are away knowing your pets are being looked after with lots of cuddles ( unless they hate cuddles of course! ) by a responsible animal lover!!

About: I have had my own dog/dogs for over 25 years. Recently lost my beloved Echo to cancer. Would love to rehome another 4 legged friend but due to work commitments would not be fair. Whilst caring for your special friend rest assured they will be treated like a prince/princess. I am waiting to start my new job. In the mean time I am free 24-7 to care for or walk you beloved pouch. I can come to you, or if you prefer your pet is welcome at my home. Once settled in my new position will be able to update my calendar with available date. I have a secure garden and dog friendly home. Lots of nice walks on the doorstep or can go further afield if your furry friend is happy to travel. Over the years I have been lucky enough to be mum to 3 Springer Spaniels and Echo, a Lurcher (Whippet cross). Sadly Echo passed away last year and due to work commitments have been unable to rehome another 😢.

“Amelie took good care of both Rosie and my house while I was away and gave good updates, photos etc. to let me know how things were going.”

“Emily was phenomenal! Our boy Boris took a liking to her from the get go. She was kind, polite, asked all the right questions and kept us in the loop with how he was doing. We’ve already recommended her to all our family and friends and couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you Emily - you’re fantastic!”

About: I had my first pet when I was young a rabbit, then came dogs and cats , my last dog was with me for 16 years , my last cat for 9 , I can fit in walking and drop in feeding during the week and sitting in your home at weekends or evenings to suit your needs I would always like a written note on what you do so I can mirror this, so you are happy and your animal is happy with their routine, and of course you may get a few pics so you don't worry about leaving them

About: I’ve had dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds since I was a baby. I’m at my happiest when I am in the company of animals. I’ve looked after various types of pets for family and friends.. I also use to volunteer for the RSPCA as a dog walker. In June I will be doing a doggy first aid course. I have always wanted to work with animals. After recently leaving my job in education, I have decided to pursue my goal. I have a car and can travel. As a dog owner myself, I fully respect the owner’s wishes. I have had dogs with various needs so understand how important it is to stick to schedules and medication.

About: I have a diploma in canine communication, first aid, pet sitting and dog walking. I’ve worked in a pet shop, which also helped gain experience and knowledge about cats and dogs. I’ve owned my dog since I moved out eight years ago. I’ve got experience with all types of animals from owning horses, down to rats, snakes, mice and fish. I’m currently just starting this venture, so I have full flexibility. Please get in contact with me to discuss times and days you need help with. Caring for pets in your home, will involve sticking to the routing you and your dog already have in place .. this makes it familiar to your furry family member. Whether that’s hourly toilet breaks or two hourly or a time they like a cuddle.

“Gavin and Betsey did a great job while taking care about our cat Esme. She got a lot of care and play time. Gavin always responded quickly and they sent s lot of photos and videos.”

About: I have taken care and walked my dad’s dogs (for about 2 years) , my aunties 3 dogs for a year and my own 2 dogs for 2 years. I have my own working gun dog puppy who I have trained since I’ve had her and this is something I really enjoy! I also am doing my level 3 senior groom at an equestrian centre in Rookley and therefore care for animals all day 4 days a week and this is something I enjoy! I can provide 4 evenings/ night time pet sits a week. Tuesday night, Wednesdays night, Saturday night, Sunday night. I can walk from 9am till 5:30pm Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday. I will ensure they have clean, fresh drinking water morning, midday, evening and before bed. I will ensure they go to the toilet every 2-3 hours, more frequently if they are senior dogs or young dog/puppy. They will be played with like they are my own puppies and I will carry on with any sort of training you have started with treats/biscuits you may give them. Sit, stay, wait, bed etc. I enjoy training and find it very rewarding when they start to understand. My Jack Russell knows, spin, round (spinning the other way), sit, stay, behind (behind my feet), heel off lead and on lead, steady (she will creep forwards in an army crawl), down, over (roll over), high five.
