House Sitting Mattishall

“Zoe was fabulous with our Henry! He’s a very pampered cat.. and isn’t sure of new people. But he was very settled and happy with Zoe. A chilled calm and happy little man when we returned home after a couple of days away. Zoe sent me a few photos- which is super reassuring. She took great care of our home. We would not hesitate to ask for Zoe again, or recommend her!”

“Izzy is a great dog sitter - our dog is normally quite standoffish with new people, but he took to her very quickly, which is a good sign. She was bang on time with her visit and left us feeling at ease with going out. No issues whatsoever and the whole experience was fantastic. We’ll definitely rebook in the future.”

About: I had my own pet sitting business based in Winchester pre-covid. I have looked after groups of up to 8 large dogs for weeks at a time and have always dog walked. I have my own dog which I share with an ex-partner therefore will be available during the times I am not looking after him. I currently work full time, however I have the freedom to work from home and manage my hours therefore I have time to stay at the property all day or pop back and forth should I need to attend the office. I drive and can manage any pet sitting jobs needed around the times of having my own dog. When staying at a pet owners home, ideally I want to stick to the same routine as you in order to now upset your pets in anyway, I am happy to discuss with you any routines and make sure I have clear feeding/medication instructions.

About: I am a passionate animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently own two cats myself, so I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have also looked after family members’ cats and dogs, helping with feeding, playtime, walks, cleaning, and giving them plenty of attention and care. In addition, I have experience working at a cattery, where I cared for cats of different ages and temperaments. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I already care for my own two cats every day. I work until 3pm during the week, so I’m available for early morning visits, evening care, walks, feeding, and companionship. I also have free weekends, which gives me plenty of flexibility for longer visits or overnight pet sitting if needed. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and well looked after. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I aim to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise, and that litter trays or outdoor areas are kept clean. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to make them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away. I also respect the owner’s home, keeping it tidy and following any specific instructions carefully.

“Imogen looked after my cats for the first time recently, and I could not recommend her more highly. I have seven cats, all with very different personalities and needs. Some are extremely high-maintenance, some are incredibly friendly, others are very shy, and three of them have epilepsy and require close monitoring. It can definitely be a bit overwhelming for someone who isn’t used to a busy multi-cat household, but Imogen handled everything amazingly. From the moment she came for a meet-and-greet, it was obvious how naturally good she is with animals. Two of my cats immediately gravitated towards her, which I think says everything, as cats are usually very good judges of character! All of the cats absolutely loved her, and I felt completely reassured knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. She was calm, attentive, and clearly very experienced and comfortable around cats with different temperaments and medical needs. I’m so grateful for the care she gave my babies, and I’ll definitely be using her services again in the future. I’m very happy with the service Imogen provided and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter.”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life from Dachshunds and terriers through to rescues and Labradors. I’ve recently retired and lost my companion Charlie so I’m hoping to invest my love in your precious one now. I’m recently retired so expect to spend all day with your pet, making them part of my life while they are with me. I live in a city centre maisonette and have a small secure outside space for fresh air, but there are also parks near me and all the smells and excitement of the city. I follow whatever exercise routine and rules you have at home. Pets can come on the sofa for cuddles if you allow that, and can either sleep downstairs or upstairs on the bed with me.

About: I have loved dogs in all shapes and sizes ever since my family first got a golden retriever. I have since dog sit friends' dogs from time to time, and I love getting to know new dogs and all their unique personalities. I also enjoy going for long walks and playing with dogs, so if your fur ball needs plenty of exercise, I'm your sitter. I'm currently a part-time freelancer working from home, meaning I am flexible with times and am happy to look after your pet in your home for longer periods. I'm currently working as a part time freelancer, so I'm very flexible. I'm happy to bring my freelance work to your place if you need someone to stay full time with your pet. I'm very attentive to your pet's needs and the safety measures you will have to keep them healthy and happy. In case of emergency, I will make sure they are taken to the vet.

“We’re so glad we found Cassie! We felt so at ease knowing our cat was being looked after by her. She was great at giving us updates and we came home from our holiday to a very happy and loved little cat.”

About: Hello I am 40-something year old Lynsey :) If you're searching for a dog walker who is absolutely dedicated to providing exceptional care and looking after your fluffy friend like it is my own then look no further! Due to a recent change in life circumstances I now find myself able to revisit one of my passions and one I undertook for a number of years of walking and caring for your dog. Since 2009 I have walked, cared for and boarded dogs for a large number of family members and friends. Breeds I have cared for and walked over a significant period of time include Bull Mastiff, GSD, Golden Retriever, Working Cocker Spaniel, Daschunds and Patterdale Terrier. Between 2011 and 2015 I was a volunteer dog walker for my local RSPCA Branch near Dereham in Norfolk and was lucky enough to walk a huge variety of breeds regularly including huskies, mixed breed rescues, Staffies, Labradors, puppies and many more! I have home boarded Daschunds and a Patterdale Terrier for family members. I love the outdoors and am happy to brave it in all weathers to keep your furry family member happy! I love dogs but am sadly in a situation where I cannot own one of my own but will love your pet like it belongs to me. I am currently working part-time building a business so can dog walk flexibly depending on yours and your beautiful furry family member's needs during the week. I am a trustworthy and competent woman who will respect your home like my own whilst caring for your beautiful furry family member. I have cared for dogs in owners' homes many times.

About: I am an avid animal lover. I love to be outside in nature and will regularly take your dog to the beach/forest/long walks (with your permission) . I will send you photo/video updates to ensure you know your dog is being looked after correctly. I am currently lucky enough to not have to work so I have plenty of free time to make time/play with your best friend! I’m extremely flexible. I do around 10-16 thousand steps a day. You will be asked for your email address once booking is confirmed to fill out if you are a new client. This is to ensure your dog gets the correct care and is looked after to the best of my ability. If your dog wants to come on a mini holiday they can stay over for lots of attention and lots of extra strokes and treats are a given. I'm happy to send photos/feedback from other clients.

About: Fergus and I love walking at a different place everyday in Norfolk. We go to Thetford Forest for sniffing walks, the coast when it’s very hot, rivers when we want to paddle. We live near the UEA so that’s our local walk straight out the door and into the woods. Fergus is my second Fox Red Labrador Murphy was my first and they both have had a placid nature with other dogs and enjoy tug of war or chasing round the house. We have a great enclosed garden for all pets so very safe and we are at the end of a Cul-de-Sac which means it’s a quiet area. My family have had dogs all my life from Basset hounds to Labradors with a Shih Tzu thrown in (not literally) so at 61 I am experienced. Believe me when I say your dog will be part of our family when they walk or stay with us. Most walks will be 1-2 hours 3-4 miles with biscuits thrown in. I have retired so my day is mostly taken up by walking 3,4 or 5 miles in the morning and a shorter walk in the late afternoon. I have a lovely grass garden with 3 areas for the dogs to explore. It’s all fenced and enclosed so safe and secure. I live at the bottom of a quiet cul-de-sac so few vehicles about. Also my home is a bungalow which dogs have the full roam of and can follow Fergus anywhere.

“Jez was simply amazing. Otis was thoroughly looked after as to was our house. We had regular updates and photos and felt everything was in great hands whilst we were away. Thank you Jez!”

About: I have looked after many pets in my time from friends to family pets and would like to do it more frequently as a lover of animals. I am out of education and saving up for university in September. I work throughout the week in hospitality so I can work around schedules very easily. As i look after mostly dogs, obviously dependent on the age and breed i will take on daily walks or runs even in parks or beaches near. As my shift schedules are short i spend a lot of time hanging out and playing with pets. I am also extremely active so can made due with whatever needs they may have.

“Elizabeth was amazing - we were really nervous about leaving our dogs with a sitter but from the second we saw them interacting with Elizabeth we knew they'd be fine. They obviously had a really good time and chilled out. Will 100% be wanting to book Elizabeth again in the future.”

“Paula was so very kind and caring towards our cat and helped very much even when he was unwell. She kept in touch and sent pictures and videos of him. We were so grateful to have her here with him for peace of mind. She even cleaned the house before leaving which was so thoughtful. We will definitely use her again in the future.”

“David looked after our spaniel and elderly cat for 10 days. He did exactly that! Doug (spaniel) bonded well with David, he was even allowed to sleep with him (as he does us). Our elderly cat Millie is a rather solitary and shy soul however seemed perfectly herself when we returned home. I would recommend David to look after your pets, he even watered the plants for us. Thanks David and we hope you enjoyed your stay with our pets. June & Mark 🐾🐾🐾🐾”

“Absolutely amazing, cannot rate her enough. She was incredible with Baylee who is a very nervous dog. She won her round so quickly and I didn't worry once for the holiday knowing she was in safe hands. She got spoilt for walks and we were updated the whole time with lovely photos of her out having fun. Will definitely to using her whenever we go away.”

Rachel P.

“Abigail looked after our dog for us while we were on holiday and he had the best staycation with her and her dog. We felt reassured he was having the comforts of a home away from home and were kept up updated with photos during his time there. Would definitely recommend Abigail she has a passion for dogs and our dog Reggie settled very quickly with her in her home! Abigail was brilliant and accommodating particularly as Reggie needed some extra care whilst he was recovering from a recent operation.”
