House Sitting Lichfield

“Very impressed with Andrew on the pre-sit visit. A very personable, caring young man. Charlie the cat was well looked after as was the house - quite spotless when we got back! Andrew tried to take photos to send to us but it appears our cat is camera shy! We are more than happy with the reasonably priced service provided and will most certainly book Andrew if we go away again. Great sitter, great service from Rover.”

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have lots of experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities. Growing up, I had a Yorkshire Terrier called Rosie, who was part of our family for 18 years. Having Rosie throughout her life gave me experience with everything from the energy of a younger dog to the extra patience, attention and care that senior dogs can need. I’ve also walked dogs through BorrowMyDoggy in both Sheffield and London, as well as dog sitting for friends on a number of occasions, caring for both younger and older dogs. These experiences have made me comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines and needs. I genuinely love being around dogs and enjoy everything from long walks and playtime to cuddles and keeping them company. I’ll always treat every dog with kindness, patience and plenty of affection. I currently work part-time as a play worker at St Michael’s Primary School in Lichfield, with split shifts from 7:30–9:00am and 3:00–6:00pm. This gives me plenty of flexibility during the day to fit pet care naturally into my routine, including walks, home visits, feeding and spending quality time with pets. Outside of work, I also help care for my nan, who has dementia, so being patient, dependable and caring is already a big part of my everyday life. I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable and cared for, whether I’m looking after them in their own home or mine. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’ll follow any instructions you provide around feeding, walks, playtime and general care. I’m patient and attentive, and I’m happy to give pets plenty of affection and company while also respecting their space if they’re more independent or nervous. I’ll treat every pet with the same kindness and care I’d want for my own.

“Sammie arrived promptly at our house and immediately got on well with our cocker spaniels, Lucy & Rosie. She sent us photos and videos throughout the day, especially some great ones from their outing to a local dog walking field. When we arrived home late at night, our dogs had clearly been well looked after. We would have no hesitation in booking Sammie again and in recommending her to others.”

“Lesley was really attentive to Wallace who can be, some what of an attention seeker. We had a lot of communication prior to the sit that made me feel very comfortable. Lesley also took really good care of me of our home whilst we were away. Thank you!”

About: Friendly Pet Sitter 🐱🐶 | Reliable Drop-In Visits and Dog Walker Hi! I’m a friendly, caring and reliable pet sitter based in Lichfield, and I’d love to help look after your dog or cat while you’re away. I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet, so I’ll make sure your cat gets plenty of attention and care during every visit. During a drop-in visit, I can: * Feed and refresh water * Clean litter trays * Give treats (if allowed!) * Spend time playing and giving attention * Check that your pet is happy and well * Send you photos and an update after each visit I’m happy to follow your pet's normal routine and any specific instructions you leave for me. Whether your pet is very social and loves cuddles or prefers some quiet space, I’ll respect their personality and take things at their pace. I’m particularly interested in helping local dog and cat owners who need reliable visits during holidays, weekends or busy periods. I’d love to meet you and your pet beforehand so you can feel completely comfortable with me looking after them. ’m currently in the process of starting my own business remotely, which means I have a really flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to looking after your cat. I’m able to work around their routine and spend lots of time with them, rather than being tied to a traditional 9–5 schedule. It also means I’m often able to be flexible with last-minute sits, so if you’re looking for someone at short notice, I’d be very happy to hear from you! 🐱💕 I’ll be looking after pets in their own home, which I think is one of the best ways to keep them happy and settled while their owners are away. I have plenty of experience with house sitting and caring for pets in their familiar surroundings, and I’m very comfortable taking on the responsibility of both the pet and the home. I always make an effort to understand the pet’s usual routine before the sit, including feeding, playtime, sleeping arrangements and any little habits or preferences they have. I’m happy to follow their routine as closely as possible and give them plenty of attention and companionship, while also respecting their space if they’re more independent. I’m also mindful that staying in someone’s home is a big responsibility, so I keep things clean and tidy and treat the property with the same care and respect I would my own. I’m more than happy to send regular photos and updates too, so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, relaxed and well cared for while they’re away. 🐾💕

“This was my first time leaving my 2 dogs with anyone whilst I went away, so I was hoping to find a boarder who would care for my dogs as their own. Natasha and her partner took great care of my dogs and they were so obviously well cared for and happy. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Natasha.”

About: I’ve loved dogs since I was a child myself and had a dog as a kid. Since then my own parents have had other dogs which I’ve obviously loved and cared for as and when, whilst unable to have a dog of my own. Circumstances - ie work - mean I can’t commit to having my own dog full time, to my son’s dismay, but we have so much love and affection for dogs that Rover is a perfect fit for us. I’ve only ticked availability for when my son and I can live our best life and share that time with your beautiful dog. We are always out and about exploring Lichfield and living life to the fullest…and spending time with a pooch pal would complete that way of life! Full disclosure we live in a flat but is as pet friendly as flats can be. We literally live opposite Stowe Pool playing fields and like I say to my 9-year-old, we have one of the biggest gardens in Lichfield. We would love a dog to walk, to stay with us and maybe even play cricket with us!

“Lisa was absolutely fantastic with our dog Bailey. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Bailey loved his stay, looked completely at home, and we could tell he was truly cared for. The regular updates while we were on holiday meant the world to us. We’d definitely rebook without hesitation.”

“Laurel is a caring and trustworthy sitter. She’s helped us looking after our lab twice now, I’d definitely recommend booking with Laurel.”

“Antonia arrived on time and even gave me an ETA on when she would arrive, which I thought was amazing. Our dog settled really well with her and when I got back I found my dog asleep right by Antonia’s feet, which was so lovely to see and very reassuring. She gave Treacle her medicine on time. Antonia is a very friendly lady and cared greatly for my precious girl. Thankyou so much. The only thing I would recommend would be updates of her movements during the day. It would have been nice to have a message to say she’d had her medicine ok. Other than that I can’t fault her care with this lovely lady. We would definitely book her again should I have another dog, unfortunately our girl passed away 3 days later.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including my own rescue dog and two rescue cats, as well as volunteering with a local dog rescue. My experience with rescue animals has taught me the importance of patience, understanding and adapting care to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your pet loves adventure and playtime or prefers a calmer approach, I tailor my care to ensure they feel safe, comfortable and happy. I’m particularly experienced with nervous and anxious pets and understand that some dogs thrive on quieter walks, extra reassurance and one-to-one attention. My priority is always to provide a positive, stress-free experience for your pets while giving you complete peace of mind that they’re in caring and reliable hands.

About: I have had over 10 years experience with dogs, either as my own (we previously had a lurcher) or via apps such as this one. I recently bought my own business and am therefore able to work flexibly, allowing for dog walking and pet sitting. I have 3 boys which keep me busy but would like to spend some time with animals too. My husband Darren has previous helped me out with dog walking (he is a huge dog lover also!) however this was with the permission of the dog owner. My kids have been around the dogs if I brought them back to our house, however this again was with permission of the owner. I am happy to administer medications, give cuddles, go for walks, make sure they are fed, etc. happy to discuss individual needs and make sure the pet has what they need to be happy and healthy.

About: I have owned and cared for a variety of animals since I was a child, including a range of dog breeds from small to large as well as volunteering at a livery yard through my teenage years. I have experience working for a reputable boarding kennels, completed dog first aid and currently working on my level 2 in Canine Care and Welfare I am currently pursuing a career in pet sitting, so will have a lot of availability. Each day/ week is currently different for me therefore I can easily adapt to clients requirements I will only be offering pet sitting services at the owners home, therefore I only need to make sure that the animal feels safe and comfortable with myself. Using my years of experience and knowledge with the owners advice of their animal I will tailor my approach to each situation appropriately.

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. Particularly large dogs. And rabbits! I don't have any pets of my own because I have two very small children and honestly they're enough right now 😵‍💫 I am a very active person so always happy for walkies and play dates. And always down for snugs. 🥰 I work part-time 18 hours a week. My eldest has started school full time and my youngest has started nursery so I do find myself with more time on my hands. Due to my children I do not offer pet care within my own home. I am happy to come to the pets home to help out and I am respectful to your pets boundaries and needs.

About: Had dogs throughout my whole life and looked after other peoples dogs. Got two cocker spaniels who are loving and lively. They adore other dogs and are very playful. They are both girl dogs. I’m currently available every weekend and weekdays from after 5pm. I am looking to reduce my hours at work to become more available. Very energetic and love taking the dogs on big walks to different places. Very caring and will make sure that your furry babies have the best time. I have a fenced off huge garden for them to play in. They are allowed on the furniture and the bed and I have two large crates for any size dog if needed. I live close to Cannock Chase and have lots of field in a short walking distance. Can take your dog to the local lake if they like to swim as one of my dogs love swimming.

About: I have had dogs as pets pretty much all my life when living at home. Now that I live alone having a dog of my own wouldn’t work due to my job and working away. I would really love to still be able to look after dogs for other people and still get time with yours 😅 I currently work 2 on 4 off which means I’m away for 2 whole days sometimes 3 but back home for 4 so I have alot of free time. I live in a secure 2 bed flat but my estate has a lot of greenery where they can be out and about doing lots of walking.
