House Sitting Micheldever

“We are ‘parents’ to a very anxious sausage dog with severe separation anxiety and were quite anxious ourselves about finding a good match to care for him whilst we were away overseas with my parents for two weeks over Christmas. We had never left him with anyone but family before. After months of searching, we thought we had found someone who would work but were let down at the last minute and were feeling pretty desperate. Imogen was an answer to our prayers! We felt comfortable with Imogen from the first meeting and Winston even warmed to her right away which is very unusual. She kept in touch with daily photos, videos and messages that made us smile and assured us amid our own ‘separation anxiety’. It was clear Winston’s we’ll being was her first priority. Our pup doesn’t take to people easily but he was kissing her hand when she left. Imogen left our house very tidy and clean as well, so we could immediately relax after a long couple of flights. We can’t recommend her highly enough and hope Winston can spend time with his new favourite person again sometime soon.”

“Josie was absolutely fabulous and we are so appreciative that she was able to stay with and look after our cat Juju for a whole week. Juju clearly took to her! Will definitely be asking her to look after our fur babies again. Thank you, Josie!”

“Jasmine was excellent with our animals and house! We could tell they had a great Time with her, and they were incredibly well looked after. Jasmine has incredible communication skills and I felt that Ham and Arty were in very safe hands. We can’t wait to have Jasmine look after them again in August!”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember — I started looking after neighbours’ and family’s pets around age 10, and it’s grown into something people trust me with regularly. I’m just as comfortable handling multiple dogs at once as I am with a single pup, and I bring the same patience and attention to every dog in my care, whatever the weather. Alongside my pet care experience, I also have 5 years of house sitting experience, so your home will be looked after just as well as your dog. I always stick closely to feeding schedules and routines exactly as instructed. From September, I’m available Wednesdays, Thursday mornings, Friday afternoons, most evenings, and weekends — so there’s plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, or boarding. I’m starting midwifery training that month, which shapes my availability around those specific days and times, but I’m consistent and reliable within that schedule. I always try and plan visits around your pet’s usual routine rather than fitting them around mine, so feeding, walking, and playtime stay on track I look after pets in their own home, which I find keeps things calm and familiar for them — no unsettling car journeys or unfamiliar spaces. I follow your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding times, walking routes, or any particular quirks your pet has. I’m comfortable in a range of home environments and always treat your space with the same care and respect as I would my own.

About: I have had family dogs all my life and have become a dog mama to my gorgeous Mali, Bruno. I love all breeds and have experience handling large boisterous dogs. I have experience boarding dogs in my own home and house sitting. I work from home full time and can fit my routine around any dogs needs. My work allows me to be flexible with my time so I can cater exactly to your dogs needs. I provide attentive, in home dog sitting so your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow your dog’s usual schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, play, and any specific care instructions. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, energy level, and needs, whether that’s active walks, gentle companionship, or extra patience with nervous pets. I’m happy to administer medication if required and will keep a close eye on your dog’s wellbeing at all times. While staying in your home, I treat your space with respect and keep things clean and secure. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages, so you can feel confident your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to make your time away as stress free as possible for both you and your pet. I work from home full time so will be working Mon-Fri in your home while pet sitting.

“Sophie is the most wonderful dog sitter. She looked after our elderly dog Willow for a few days while we visited our new baby granddaughter in Sweden. We felt very confident that we had left Willow in good hands and we were absolutely right. He is almost 15 and has a bit of dementia which can be challenging to cope with, but Sophie handled everything brilliantly and in a fuss-free way. We cannot recommend her highly enough.”

About: I’ve been walking dogs since I was 14, starting by helping an elderly lady with her dogs. That experience taught me how important patience, reliability, and understanding each dog’s individual needs are. I also have my own Pomeranians, so I’m used to caring for high maintenance breeds that require plenty of attention and exercise. (My dogs will not be there whilst looking after yours) Looking after my own dogs has given me hands on experience with different personalities, routines, and care requirements. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether it’s a relaxed stroll, an energetic walk, or simply providing lots of love and attention, I’m committed to giving every pet the best possible care. As a teacher, I’m available to walk dogs on weekends throughout the year. During school holidays and half terms, which are frequent, I have much more flexibility and am available for dog sitting, drop in visits, and longer periods of care while you’re away. This means your pet can enjoy plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship during your holiday bookings, giving you peace of mind that they’re in safe and caring hands. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I’ve recently bought my own home, which has a secure, fully fenced garden with plenty of space for dogs to run around, play, and go to the toilet safely. Inside, my home is clean, calm, and welcoming, with plenty of room for pets to relax. During warmer weather, the house stays nice and cool, helping to keep dogs comfortable and prevent them from overheating. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention, so they feel happy and at home while they’re with me. If your pet is more comfortable in familiar surroundings, I’m also happy to pet sit in your home, ensuring they can stick to their usual routine while receiving the same loving, reliable care.

“I can't recommend Jackie enough! From the initial meet and greet, it was clear she has a real love for animals and knows how to handle dogs of all temperaments. Bear was very happy in her company and her calm nature put him at ease! We look forward to future bookings with Jackie!”

“Alexandra looked after my old dog and cat for the weekend. I met her before this and explained what they needed. She was very communicative and I felt very confident that she was looking after my pets well. She sent messages to reassure me throughout the weekend. She left the house neat and tidy. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask her to look after them again.”

“Victoria was great with our Bernie. She gave us lots of updates and Bernie seemed like he had a lovely time. I would recommend using Victoria!”

About: Greetings, pet parents! My passion for animals is matched only by my proven patience with nervous dogs. For almost 8 years, my own beloved, often anxious canine companion has been my greatest teacher, showing me just how much a gentle approach can transform their well-being. I also had two wonderful cats as family members for about 13 years, which truly deepened my appreciation for their unique personalities and needs. My career as a freelance prop maker provides me with a highly flexible and mobile schedule, which is a real advantage when it comes to pet sitting and dog walking. This availability means I can usually be there for your furry friend whenever they need me. Im available daily after 2pm for walkies. Check-in visit available daily. Boarding is also availabe. Fenced yard available. I also have a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. Walkies will be on leash ALL the time. Daily photo update available upon request.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had smaller pets such as cats, hamsters, and rabbits, which sparked my interest in animal care and rescue—especially with dogs. Over the past 8 years, I’ve gained valuable experience in dog behavior and care through attending training seminars, volunteering at local shelters, and providing dog walking and sitting for friends, family, and private clients. I am currently volunteering at the RSPCA in Stubbington. I've had to go through specific dog walking training on how to approach dogs who are struggling in the shelter. From being nervous and scared, to excitable and playful. I've cared for new born puppies, taken dogs to vet appointments and even cared for Tortoises. Through word of mouth, I’ve built a loyal private client base that I’m excited to continue growing. Caring for animals brings me immense joy, and I’m working toward a long-term career in animal care. I’ve recently begun a Veterinary Nursing course to further develop my knowledge and skills. I'm currently working part-time at Sparsholt College and University. This enables me to continue caring for animals in my spare time. I have Saturday to Tuesday free for Dog walking and sitting. I'm currently not able to have pets at my home as I have 3 cats in the house. 1 elderly who does not take to new pets.

About: I have experience pet sitting both cats and dogs in Ukraine, Poland, and the UK. With clear instructions, I’ll know exactly what to do to make your pet’s time with me the best experience possible. I always try to follow your pet’s needs and personality — if they’re full of energy, we’ll go for long walks and play; if they prefer calm company, we’ll enjoy quiet cuddles and gentle care. I work part-time at a school, which leaves me with plenty of time during the day for dog walks and spending quality time with your pet. I enjoy being active and giving pets attention, care, and companionship while their owners are away. I provide a calm, safe, and caring environment for pets. In the owner's home, I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable, receive plenty of attention, and have fresh water and a clean space. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so owners know their pet is happy and well cared for.

“Bethany came to housesit my three pets - a cat and two dogs (including 7 month old lab puppy) and she just got on with it - no fuss but confident with them all and very relaxed and competent. They were happy, I was happy! It was a big success. Will definitely try and book her again if she’s available!!”

“Shannon was great with our 3 cockapoos for a housesit. Even Teddy who can be cautious with new people was taken with her and followed her around 😃 shannon kept me updated throughout the day. Would recommend!”

“Sandra and Ivor looked after our 2 dogs Holly and Lulu whilst we were away for the weekend. Sandra and Ivor are really lovely people. They took the time to arrange a meet and greet with the dogs before they house sat which was very reassuring and the dogs were happy and relaxed around them straight away. Good comms received throughout the weekend and the house was clean and tidy and dogs happy when we returned. I can highly recommended them for house sitting and hope to be able to use their services again in the future.”

About: I'm a dog groomer and I have helped look after family dogs all my life. I have had my own personal dog for five years. I'm great with all tempers of dogs I'm starting my own business as a dog groomer though things are slow so wanted to start walking and sitting dogs. My business is my priority but if I have no clients I can walk dogs and dog sit. I will work with you to keep you dog safe and their routines kept. I'll keep dogs that need to be on lead on a lead.

When the dogs sleep, I play Smooth Chill radio on the Alexa to make them feel more relaxed and settled. Book with me today and you can be reassured your pet will have a happy stay!
