House Sitting Melbourn

“Zoe was absolutely fantastic taking care of our two dogs while we were on holiday. Gave us daily updates regarding the dogs and what they had been up to so that we didn’t worry. The house was in perfect condition when we returned. Could not recommend her enough. Thank you Zoe.”

About: I have had pets my whole life and love animals. I’ve grown up caring for dogs, cats, horses and chickens. As well as taking care of my own pets, I’ve done paid work including cat sitting, babysitting with dogs and general house sitting. I’m available on week days and weekends for the next two months. I’m happy staying overnight to look after pets, but cannot currently host pets at my house due to having my own dog who gets unsettled. I’m happy to cater to your pets needs, whether it’s staying in and keeping them company, or taking them for long walks. I’m happy around all pets of all sizes!

“Fleur was absolutely brilliant with my dog Lois - she totally loved her! I got regular updates throughout the week in form of videos and photos. It was such a peace of mind. I have come back to one happy dog and would absolutely recommend Fleur and will be repeat booking.”

“We could not have asked for a better dog sitter for Obi. Ffion made us feel instantly at ease and we knew straight away Obi was in good hands. Obi is a sensitive soul and can experience separation anxiety but he seemed totally happy and relaxed around Ffion from the moment they met which meant leaving him with Ffion for the day just felt so natural and easy for us, she treated Obi with such care and attention, he absolutely adored her and it was almost like leaving Obi with a member of the family it felt so personal. We were a bit nervous about using Rover or getting a dog sitter as we had never left Obi with anybody other than family, but Ffion made the whole process a complete dream and she will definitely be our go to person whenever we need someone to look after Obi in future. :)”

“Marnie had a wonderful day with Dajana! I had lots of lovely photo updates. Dajana has a very sweet nature and is clearly a huge animal lover. Very reliable and good communication. Would absolutely recommend and look forward to booking her again soon!”

“I can’t say enough amazing things about Indre! She watched Millie and Ellie for the first time this past weekend, and wow — she was absolutely wonderful. From the beginning, she genuinely cared about the girls and made me feel completely at ease. She kept me updated throughout the weekend, sent lots of pictures, and asked thoughtful questions to make sure they were happy and comfortable. She even took them on extra walks without me asking and stayed longer so they wouldn’t have to spend as much time alone. It was so clear that Indre wasn’t just “watching” them — she genuinely cared about them and treated them like they were her own. That means everything to me. Millie and Ellie were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved having her around. I would absolutely recommend Indre to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, caring, and willing to go above and beyond. We will definitely be booking her again! ❤️🐾”

“Isabelle house sat for us for 10 days and looked after our Sprocker Marley. She did a great job looking after him and the house. She left everything clean and tidy and he clearly had a great time with her. We will definitely book Isabelle again!”

“Caroline looked after our dog, cat and African Grey Parrot for the week, and she was the perfect houseguest and carer for our pets. She kept us updated throughout the week with regular messages, pictures and lovely updates, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We returned home to a lovely, clean and well looked after house, and our pets were happy and clearly very well cared for. We would 100% recommend Caroline and will definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you so much, Caroline!”

I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means a nice walk, some playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company.

Weekends I am mostly free excluding walks and training sessions. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet and your home in someone else’s care. I’ll always follow your instructions and your pet’s usual routine carefully, while making sure they are safe, comfortable and well looked after. During home visits, I’ll make sure doors, windows and gates are secure, keep your pet away from anything they shouldn’t access, and never leave them in an unsafe situation. I’ll also treat your home with respect and leave everything as I found it. I’ll keep you updated during visits with messages and photos, so you know how your pet is doing and can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Thank you so much for looking after Yoyo at such short notice. And for your kindness on what was a difficult day for us. Yoyo is looking forward to the next time 😁”

“He looked after our cats well.”

“We think Coco and Oona would happily have kept us on holiday for another week! 😂 Jessie looked after our two girls, Coco and Oona, for a week while we were away, and we genuinely couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She followed all of our instructions, kept us updated with regular messages and photos, and gave the girls plenty of exercise, attention and cuddles. It was obvious from every update how much she genuinely loves animals. We've used pet sitters before and, although they've all been great, we've often noticed our dogs start to miss us after a few days. This time was completely different. Coco and Oona looked so happy and relaxed throughout the week that we started joking they might not want us to come home! To top it all off, we came home to a house that was absolutely spotless—honestly, even tidier than when we left it. It's rare to find someone you trust completely with both your pets and your home, but we can honestly say we've found our forever pet sitter. Thank you so much, Jessie!! we'll definitely be booking you again (assuming Coco and Oona don't try to book you themselves first! )”

“Alejandra was brilliant with our dachshund, Leo. A lovely day of walks in the park and plenty of chill time. Communication was great with regular updates and Alejandra was lovely to deal with. Thanks again!”

Sam G.

“Eli was fantastic. Summer took to her very quickly (which is very rare). Summer was having a hard time with the original schedule we had set up so Eli quickly adapted the timings and even stayed the night because my pup was having a hard time alone overnight. I will be using her in the future as long as she is available.”

“Hannah stayed with our dog and cat for a week and was great! Asked great questions during our meet and greet, clear communications, regular updates, and the house was left in excellent order when we returned. Pets were happy and seemed well cared-for ... we'd be glad to have Hannah back again!”

Alisha R.

“Really lovely fella. Scrabble has found a new friend! On time, great communication and really helped me out at the last minute. Will definitely use again.”

About: I’ve spent 35 years caring for dogs and cats, including my own pets and those belonging to friends and family. I’m experienced in dog walking, home visits and pet sitting, and understand that every animal has its own personality, routine and needs. I’m calm, patient and attentive, and will care for your pet as I would my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’m equally happy providing energetic walks and playtime or quiet companionship for older pets. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated, so you can relax knowing your pet is in safe and reliable hands. I’m available for pet care full-time and can offer a flexible schedule throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, mornings and evenings. I can arrange walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting around your pet’s usual routine, giving them plenty of time, attention and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I’ll take time to understand their routine, temperament, feeding, exercise and any special requirements, and will follow your instructions carefully. I’ll keep doors, gates and leads secure, respect your home and never force interaction with a nervous or cautious pet. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos and contact you immediately if I notice any change in your pet’s health or behaviour.

“Shannon is a fantastic pet and house sitter, we had a long holiday and Shannon looked after our fur baby for 17 days. Everything was well looked after in our home and most importantly our cat was relaxed and happy and enjoyed Shannon's company. We would highly recommend Shannon to anyone looking for a great pet sitter.”

About: I don't remember a time without animals and pets though we had small animals such as rabbits and gerbils with a peak headcount of 28, though these days it's just me and my six guinnea pigs, one rabbit, two chinchillas and a couple fish. This app doesn't let me add pets beyond cats and dogs so I note them here though there are some photos of them and myself on my profile. This year I've been volunteering my Sundays at the Animal Rescue Charity in Bishop Stortford so I'm confident and competent walking dogs of all size and behaviours, as well as exposure to a cats ranging from young to old, healthy to sick, though I consistently find animals respond to my calm and gentle nature. I have looked after my sisters shiba a few times when they were on holiday first as a puppy and more recently as a sassy teenager in heat or weekends away. Or a family friend who's old boy was blind and deaf and needed constant physical contact to feel safe and happy. Suffice to say I'm happy to accommodate and meet your pets needs with my time and attention, be that over long walks in any weather or a reliable companion to stay at your home with your beloved animals. Currently not working so I have plenty of time, though I volunteer on Fridays and Sundays so while I would like to continue those there is flexibility for sitting if unable to go for out for the day to accommodate you and your pets needs. Typically play it by the pets energy, if they want attention and play then we'll play, if they want to chill in the same room as me with a toy for some company then we can do that, or if they wish to be alone I'll still be availible and accessible to them. I'm comfortable sharing a bed, sleeping with doors open, cleaning up accidents and walking them in any weather, long or short, relaxed with lots of stops to sniff or a more disciplined walk on a tight leash. I am clean and tidy so I will leave your property as I found it. I have no issue spending all day around the home of that would bring you peace of mind only nipping out to get some groceries to last me a couple of days at a time, though in short I'm flexible, reliable, and attentive.
