House Sitting Melbourn

“Zoe was really sweet and reliable, and very understanding of our dog’s needs. They seemed to get on really well and we felt completely comfortable leaving her in Zoe’s care. Would definitely recommend her!”

“Fleur is a very calm, confident dog sitter who took note of our many requirements but clearly focused on the dog and made sure she was well looked after and happy. She had Rosie all day and we came home to a relaxed, settled dog. Would recommend!”

“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. :)”

“Indrė looked after my German Shepherd x collie Rocky for 2 nights and did an absolutely incredible job. Her communication is excellent and she stuck to the schedule and routine provided really thoroughly which is exactly what he needs; I felt really confident that Rocky was in good hands and came home to a happy dog! Indrė is extremely trustworthy and lovely and I will definitely be asking her to come back!”

About: Hello! My name is Owen, I am a lifetime dog owner and lover. I have a great intuition about what makes dogs tick. I'm energetic, patient, and am yet to find a dog that I can't keep up with. I consider myself to be a very responsible person and can assure you that I will appreciate the wellbeing of your dog and will treat them as my own while under my care. Looking forward to meeting you and your dog soon! Thank you, Owen. I have recently changed toward a more flexible schedule and am able to priorities offering dog-related services more frequently and with shorter notice. Please get in touch to work out a time that suits us both. Unfortunately, I am unable to keep other dogs in my home at this time. When pet sitting, however, I will strictly follow the instructions provided by the owner and ensure the wellbeing of your dog while under my care.

“Darcy was great with Luna and helped us out very last minute. Kept me updated and was very trustworthy. Thanks again!”

“Buddy loves being with Alice when she comes to visit! She takes him on doggy adventures and sends photo updates which is great when I am away with work or on holiday, putting my mind at ease knowing he is in good hands. Alice provides the attention, engagement, and care that he needs without question, and sometimes I think Buddy prefers her to me! (which is as high a compliment you can give as a pet owner). Alice is courteous towards my property and she makes me feel at ease when she is in my home, something I was anxious about when arranging a dog sitter. Very respectful and I trust her with the key safe code which makes the process even easier when I am away with work at short notice. She is great with dogs and genuinely treats them like her own, and it’s lovely that she takes the time to update me via photos. Having Alice look after your pet is like having their best friend over for a play date, and she is genuinely such a lovely person who is always willing to go the extra mile. I recently booked her to stay with Buddy while I was away for a week, and she was even kind enough to put the bins out when she saw the neighbours doing the same. Buddy is an ex-racing Greyhound who has some specific breed traits, and I have complete confidence in Alice walking him on lead with a muzzle, and she takes the time to understand your dog’s temperament. It was amazing how quickly he took to her. Genuinely lovely sitter who clearly adores her time with your pet, and gives everything that human touch so it feels more like a friend coming over than someone providing a service. Talking to her about her own family pets and the variety of animals she has cared for previously is reassuring that I am dealing with somebody who has a genuine love of animals. Highly recommend for visits or stays.”

About: Hey! I am a 21 year old student veterinary nurse, completing my apprenticeship at a local practice. I have been dog walking and sitting for people locally for around 5 years, caring for them before or after work. I studied A levels in Animal Management and have worked since then at a doggy day care centre caring for over 20 dogs at once, whilst also at a farm. I also have two cheeky terriers. Therefore, I am used to a lot of mischief! I also own a lovely cat and have done numerous cat sittings too, staying at the clients house :) it’s fair to say, my life revolves around these four legged creatures- including rabbits and guinea pigs too! I am working full time at the moment, however I work both early and late shifts. Therefore I am happy to visit/ walk your pet before work, or if I’m on a late shift; in the evening afterwards. I am also available some weekends to stay over if needed!:) I currently am not looking after animals in my house due to my naughty terriers being enough to handle by themselves! They aren’t the biggest fan of new friends! However, I am more than happy to visit or stay at your house when needed!

“Great communication, my dog loved her. Would recommend”

“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!”

Claire H.

“Alex is brilliant and we loved how she looked after out Benji our Bernese Mountain Dog. We were kept informed about him and the routine that was maintained. We received daily updates as well as photos of him. We are at ease whilst we were away. We would most definitely recommend Alex to anybody who is looking for a dog sitter. And we are already looking to do our next booking with Alex.”

“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! )”

“Shannon was absolutely amazing with my 2 chows. I felt really comfortable with her looking after them. Roko and Mango had a great time! She kept me updated and I would hesitate to rebook Shannon!”

“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!”

About: I am a responsible, patient, and caring person who truly loves animals. I have experience taking care of dogs and cats with different personalities and needs, including energetic pets, shy animals, and senior pets who need extra attention and comfort. What makes me different is the love and attention I give to every pet. I understand that pets are family members, so I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I can help with daily walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, basic care, and maintaining the pet’s routine. I am also attentive to details, organized, and reliable, which helps pets feel calm and secure in my care. Pet care fits very well into my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate consistent time to walks, visits, and overnight stays when needed. On a daily basis, I am available in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on prior arrangements. I make sure to plan my day so I can fully focus on each pet without rushing, giving them the attention and care they need. I always prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep the environment clean and secure, and make sure pets feel calm and comfortable at all times. I supervise them carefully, provide fresh water, food, walks, and attention, and treat every pet as if they were my own.

“Elinor was fantastic house sitting our 7 month old golden retriever puppy over the 3 days! We were delighted with the care she gave our golden retriever puppy. Puppies can be quite a handful, but she was patient, kind, and clearly cared for her as if he were her own. We came home to a happy, relaxed puppy and a tidy house, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated with messages and photos throughout our trip, and her communication was excellent. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring house sitter, and we’d happily ask her to sit for us again.”

“Vivienne was great at looking after our Dalmatian in our home while we were away for the day, she is very reliable and provided updates and photos throughout the day, would happily use her services again, thanks Vivienne! ☺️”

I also have a fenced and gated back garden for security and welfare of our fur babies. I do also own a cage should that be the way your pet is accustomed, nevertheless everything else would have to be provided by you and the way your babies are cared for is customized by how you/they like it.

About: Hello! My name is Catalina, and I am a veterinarian from Colombia with a genuine passion for animal welfare and pet care. As a veterinarian, I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and reptiles. My professional background has given me the skills to handle animals confidently, administer medications when required, monitor their health, and recognise signs of illness or distress. I’m currently doing an internship from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. After that, I’m free, and I’m also available on weekends. So after 5 p.m., I can take care of your pets and feed them. I really enjoy long walks and spending time outdoors. I’m quite active, so I’d love to play with your pets and keep them entertained. I’m also very caring and attentive, and I enjoy giving them lots of love and affection.

“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!”
