House Sitting Launceston

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.

“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 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!”

“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.”

“We booked George whilst we were at a wedding whilst on holiday in Cornwall. George was very professional and polite. He visited our dog when he said he would and updated us with some pictures/videos whilst we were at the wedding.”

About:

“As a first time for having someone other than family look after our dog Bailey, I was a little nervous/anxious about the whole thing. But from our first meeting to the end of the actual booking I have been so impressed by India, I honestly have nothing but praise and gratitude for her. Bailey absolutely loves her, India has a caring warmth about her which which radiates. We were away through the heat wave and India kept us fully updated, she even brought her own cooling mat to help Bailey whilst also conversing with us if there was anything we usually do to keep Bailey cool. We were sent photos and given updates and knew we could contact India if we had any cocerns. India left our home exactly how she found it and it was great to come home and not worry about cleaning or stripping beds as India had done it for the room she stayed in. We can not recommend India enough and would be more than happy to book her again if we manage to get away! Thank you India x”

About: I’ve had pets in my family home as long as I can remember, including three dogs, two cats, two tortoises, fish and hamsters over the years. I’ve always loved being around and looking after animals, especially dogs. I grew up with an English Springer spaniel and a Dandie Dinmont terrier - two dogs that were polar opposites but both affectionate and loyal - what more can you ask for? After they both passed away last year, my mum brought a Maltese poodle puppy called Lola into the family home and it’s reminded me of how playful and loving pets are. In terms of experience, I’ve dog-sat and walked my mates Australian Labradoodle and previously looked after neighbours cats while they’ve been away. If you’re interested, please feel free to reach out - Thanks. I work full-time for a multinational professional services company however my job is fully remote and employees are entrusted to work flexible hours to manage their own work schedules. I’d love the extra bit of company when working from home and the opportunity to get out on walks during the day. I live in a dog- friendly duplex flat with open plan living and kitchen and a small-medium sized balcony. I understand this may be off putting but I’m a 3 minute walk from Lovell Park, and only a 10 minute walk from the canal, which I often run along and is very popular with dog walkers. I have a very comfortable sofa and plenty open floor space to roam around

“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!!!! 🐱💖🥰🐾🐾”

“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 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.

“Jo has just looked after George for a few days. Brilliant experience. We met before our trip so she could meet George and establish what he needed. The communication was really good, George loved her and the house was super tidy when we got back. First class service and I can't recommend Jo highly enough.”

“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.”
