House Sitting Kettering

“First time leaving our 11 year old dog, Andrew, with anyone other than family. Tracey and her daughter Maya were absolutely fantastic. Immediately they entered the house they made a big fuss of Andrew and he warmed to them instantly. We had lots of reassuring messages and pictures of him while we were away and on return he was happy and had obviously had wonderful care. The house was absolutely spotless as well. I cannot thank Tracey and Maya enough and would definitely recommend them. We have already booked them in for 2 more visits. Absolute 5 ⭐️’s for them.”

“Donna was amazing. Excellent communication and rapid response to messages. She is friendly, kind and very good with animals. I can tell that my cat was relaxed and comfortable in her presence, this is something rare, as she is a very anxious cat. I will definitely book Donna again.”

“I would highly recommend Helen, my puppy Atlas had a wonderful day in her care. Helen’s communication is great, we initially setup a meet and greet and we discussed everything in detail about his routine. It was really clear to me that Helen takes a lot of care and attention to really understand yours and the puppy’s requirements. Helen came and house sit for the day to make sure that Atlas wasn’t left alone - when I came back it was clear to me how much time she must’ve spent interacting and playing with him through out the day as he was incredibly responsive to her voice. Thank you Helen !!”

About: I have a genuine passion for animals and plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets. I have my own pets, including dogs and cats, which has given me a great understanding of their different personalities, needs, and behaviours. I hold a Level 3 diploma in Animal management with Distinction* grades, as well as qualifications in pet sitting, dog walking and dog grooming. I have also worked in both a cattery and kennels, giving me valuable experience caring for a variety of cats and dogs and understanding their individual routines and requirements. I already work with pets and regularly gain practical experience, while continuing to develop my dog grooming skills. I am caring, reliable, patient, and dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care I currently work part-time at Pets at home, although i often work more than my contracted hours depending on the needs of my work place. Because of this, i will fit pet sitting, dog walking and drop in visits around my work schedule and my days off. I always want to make sure i can give every pet the time, attention, and care they deserve, so i will be honest and upfront about my availability before accepting a booking. If you are looking for someone who can be with your pet 24/7, I may not always be the right person, depending on my working days and hours. However, I will always do my best to work with you and create a schedule that suits both you and your pet. When caring for pets in their home, I always aim to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I take time to understand their usual feeding, walking, toileting, medication, playtime, and bedtime routines, and make sure these are followed as closely as possible. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and reassurance while respecting each pet’s individual personality and boundaries. I also make sure their home is left clean and secure, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Millie was absolutely fab with both mine & my sisters dogs on this pet sit, my sisters dog is super nervous with new people & she took to Millie right away who gave them unlimited snuggles while we were away. My dog is old, half blind & on cardiac medication but had no worries about how he would be left with Millie, she even let him snuggle in the human bed as he is used to at home. We were kept up to date with how they were & even asked about taking my sisters dog on a walk with her pooch to socialise, which was lovely. We wouldn't question about using Millie again, definitely recommend 🙂 Thank you again!”

About: I’ve been looking after the fur-babies of my friends, family and colleagues for as long as I can remember. As a child my family have always had dogs and cats as members of our family. I love the opportunity play and snuggle. This is how I spend free time: cuddles with my two kitties who my husband thinks I love more than him… no comment. I am currently a part-time teacher so I’m always free on school holidays, weekends and Mondays. I’m going to be leaving soon so I will have lots more availability . In my experience pets are happiest in their own environment where they feel comfortable and safe, which is why I am happy to offer in-home visits, where I can feed/play/walk with your pet.

“Molly kept in contact with us before and during her visit. My two seemed very comfortable with her and enjoyed her company, it was very reassuring and seeing the photos. Very appreciative of molly for helping us out”

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and caring for pets has been a big part of my life for many years. Over the past few years, I’ve gained hands on experience pet sitting for families while they travel, including longer stays where I’m fully responsible for daily routines, feeding, walks, playtime and general wellbeing. I’ve looked after a variety of pets with different personalities and needs — from confident, energetic animals to more nervous or independent ones. I’m patient, calm and attentive, and I always take the time to understand each pet’s routine so they feel safe and settled in my care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure owners feel completely at ease while they’re away, with regular updates and photos if requested. At the moment, I have a very flexible schedule, which means I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. While I’m currently looking for a more permanent role in animal care, pet sitting fits perfectly into my daily routine and allows me to focus fully on looking after pets. I’m available throughout the day for feeding, walks, playtime, companionship and check ins, and I can easily adapt my schedule to suit each pet’s needs and routine. I always aim to provide a calm, safe and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and well cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in an owner’s home, I make sure routines are followed closely and that each pet’s individual needs and boundaries are respected. In my home, pets have a secure, relaxed space with access to a large garden for fresh air and play (always supervised and in line with owner instructions). I also live very close to a variety of walking routes, which means I can tailor walks to suit different energy levels - from short, gentle strolls to longer, more active walks. I have a friendly cat at home who spends much of their time outdoors or visiting a neighbour, so I’m mindful of introductions and always prioritise safety and comfort. I would only care for pets in my home if they are happy around cats and if owners are fully comfortable with the setup. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I treat the space with complete respect and make sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I keep owners updated with regular messages and photos for peace of mind.

About: I have my own rescue dog and love animals. I’m available for all dog walks and pet visits in your own home. Fully insured and first aid trained I currently don’t work, so this gives me the flexibility and all year round availability to look after your furry best friend whenever you need me. I will do everything possible to provide them with the comfort and love they need whilst you are away. For any visits, I will ensure fresh food and water is available, lots of cuddles are given, and anything else that you request too.

About: What sets me apart is my 8+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs & cats of all ages and personalities. I started in Manchester and now that I’m in Kettering, I’m excited to meet and care for new friends in the area. I offer more than just sitting—I can help with basic training for young dogs & cats provide gentle and attentive care for senior pets, as well as grooming and regular walks. I’m confident handling different temperaments and always adapt to each dog’s and cats needs to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I treat every dog& cat as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, patience, and care while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine as I’m home full-time, which means I can provide constant supervision, attention, and care. I’m available throughout the week and weekends, so pets are never left alone for long periods. I plan my day around their needs—whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, training, or simply giving them companionship. Being at home allows me to be flexible and responsive, ensuring each pet gets the time, care, and attention they deserve I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets in my home. I have a secure fenced garden where dogs can play, exercise, and enjoy fresh air. Inside, there’s plenty of space for them to relax and feel at home. I also have two small, friendly dogs who are used to being around other pets, including cats, and they provide great companionship. I always supervise interactions to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Whether in my home or a pet owner’s home, I follow each pet’s routine closely including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions so they feel settled and stress-free. My focus is always on making pets feel happy, secure, and well cared for.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs since I was born and so have an unfaltering love for all breeds, big and small. I have also volunteered for dog kennels and rescue centres which involved walking, feeding and occasionally washing dogs. I also love cats and have recently rescued Attis. I am hoping to earn some extra cash over the summer before returning to university for my final year by doing something I love - hanging out with animals! I live in a 30 acre wooded property and so am used to giving long walks both on lead and off. I’m happy to walk your dog in these woods or our small field next to the house if a fenced environment is preferred.

About: Throughout my life, I have always had pets, especially cats. I have cared for one, two or even three cats at a time. I have also looked after friends’ cats and dogs, including a Doberman and three Boston Terriers. I genuinely love animals and understand how important it is to provide them with care, attention, and companionship. I can have pets over night, every night and on my days off, mostly Thursday and Sunday, on the days off I have lots of time to spend with little furry friends 🧡 I have secured balcony there cats can enjoy sunshine and watching birds, I love cuddling them and play with them.

About: I am a compassionate, reliable, and experienced animal care professional with over 8 years of experience working as a Veterinary Nurse, alongside my current role as an Ambulance Clinician. Caring for others has always been at the heart of what I do, and animals have been a lifelong passion of mine. My veterinary background has given me extensive experience caring for animals of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, including those with medical needs, anxiety, or additional care requirements. I am confident administering medication, recognising signs of illness, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Working as an Ambulance Clinician has strengthened my calm, responsible, and trustworthy nature, especially in high-pressure situations. I understand how important it is for owners to know their pets are in safe hands, and I treat every animal with the same care and affection I would give my own. Whether it’s walks, feeding, overnight stays, playtime, or companionship, I provide attentive, personalised care and genuinely love building bonds with animals I currently work shifts as an ambulance clinician, when I schedule pet care it will not be during my working days. My days when I am providing pet care will revolve around the animals normal routine or as close as I can. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for every pet in my care. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication (if required), and any special care instructions. I make sure pets always have access to fresh water, a secure space to rest, and plenty of attention, enrichment, and supervision. I have a fenced garden and have access to open fields with wooden fencing. When caring for pets in an owner's home, I respect the home and maintain the pet's usual routine to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I keep owners updated with regular messages, photos, and reports. Safety is my priority, so I monitor pets closely during walks, playtime, and interactions with other animals, and I follow all instructions regarding health, behavior, and emergency contacts

About: ​Since the age of 10, my life has been dedicated to animals. Growing up on a farm in Portugal, I was surrounded by the heartbreaking reality of stray animals, which sparked a lifelong mission to help. I couldn't turn a blind eye; I brought home every animal in need—from dogs and cats to injured birds. ​Eventually, after endless ignored "no more animals after this one" pleas, my parents finally accepted their fate and helped me build dedicated kennels on our farm. Together with the local community, we provided food, medical care, and a safe haven for these animals until we could find them their forever homes. Through these 17 years of rescue work, I didn't just provide care; I studied animal behavior deeply, learning how to communicate with and comfort dogs of all temperaments. ​Currently, I am the proud parent of two dogs—a Husky and a rescue Collie/Lab—who are my entire world. I know how difficult it is to leave your fur-babies behind, which is why I treat every guest like a member of my own family. ​When your dog is with me, they can expect: * 🌟 Endless Love & Cuddles: No shortage of affection and sofa time. ​🌟 Active Adventures: Frequent walks and play tailored to their energy levels. ​🌟 Paddock Time: I live 10 minutes away from a secure paddock where I take my dogs all the time; I'm happy to take yours for a run there too! ​🌟 A "Spoilt" Experience: I promise to love and spoil your pups just as much as I do my own. ​I truly miss the feeling of being surrounded by "fur" and making a difference in an animal's life. I can’t wait to meet your best friend and give them a home-away-from-home experience! I'm currently studying full time from home so your fur baby will never be alone. Walks 3x a day - morning after and evening I go paddocks often especially in good weather and I am happy to take yours along. ​I offer a safe, loving environment with a fully fenced-in garden for secure playtime. My two friendly dogs provide great company, ensuring your pet never feels lonely. I am experienced with crate training if needed for sleeping or quiet time. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize a consistent routine, plenty of supervised exercise, and constant attention to keep your fur baby happy and secure.

“Jane was brilliant and very accommodating to our fairly specific requests due to us getting married! She took great care of our toy poodles and kept us updated. I’d recommend Jane to anyone and will definitely be in touch again if needing a dog sitter. Thank you, Jane!”
