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.”

“Absolutely love this couple, Harley had the best weekend , they kept me up to date with photos and gave him so much love. I would highly recommend them for either for a weekend or longer stay. They looked after my home so well and Harley enjoyed being looked after by them. Five stars all round! x”

“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.”

Very communicative with updates and pictures, followed all our instructions and provided the very best care for Indy and indy absolutely loves her! I was worried leaving him for the first time but I needn't have been, he was very well looked after and loved while we were away. Thank you Wing!”

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.

“Lovely, gentle, and patient with our very anxious dog. Really good communication and very professional. Thank you! Look forward to having Elizabeth look after our dog again in future.”

“Taeya was amazing, came home to a super clean home and most importantly a very happy, contented cat … brilliant sitter, great communication and very lovely person. The sitting was for 1 week and I felt totally at ease and confident leaving Taeya in charge of my home and my fur baby so that was able to enjoy my travels 😆 would 100% use Taeya again.”

About: What sets me apart is my experience, patience and understanding of animal behaviour. I do not believe in a one size fits all approach to caring for animals. Every pet is an individual, with their own personality, needs and experiences, and I take the time to understand and work with them at their own pace. During and after my 3 years at Merrist Wood College, learning to work with and care for them, I have worked with a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, farm animals and British wildlife. This experience has given me a strong understanding of animal behaviour and body language, including how to recognise when an animal may be anxious, fearful, overwhelmed or reactive. I am particularly patient with animals who may need extra time to build trust or feel comfortable in a new situation. Whether your pet is nervous, reactive, highly energetic, elderly, has specific needs or simply takes a little longer to warm up to new people, I take a calm, gentle and individual approach. I never force interaction and instead allow animals to build confidence at their own pace. With over 13 years of experience working with animals, I bring a calm, patient and observant approach to every pet I care for. I believe that building trust is one of the most important parts of animal care, and i take great pride in forming genuine connections with animals - even those who may initially find new people or situations difficult. If you would like a copy of my CV, please do ask. I am very flexible and happy to work around your needs. Whether you need a couple of hours each day, or full day care, a few days a week or every day. I can tailor my schedule to provide consistent, reliable support for you and your pets. Your pets will be cared for as if they were my own - with lots of love, attention and care. I provide a calm, safe and comfortable environment, follow your instructions closely, and keep you updated so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away.

“Charlotte was a dream!! So sweet and considerate. I received both updates and pictures. Moose looked so happy!!”

About: I’ve taken care of over 30 cats and 5 dogs back home, getting to know each of their personalities, routines and little quirks. I’m comfortable with feeding, playing, keeping them company and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m especially experienced with cats, but I absolutely love dogs too! I’m patient, attentive and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I always treat every pet as an individual and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime and love. 🐾💕 I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of flexibility and availability for pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting throughout the week, as well as weekends. I can be flexible with timings, most of the time my partner comes with me to the visits and will always make sure I have enough time to give your pet plenty of attention, playtime and care. 🐾💗 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime and any specific instructions you provide. I’m patient and attentive, and I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind.

About: I’m here to give your pet 10/10 care - I will do everything to make sure your pet is made to feel calm, welcome, and relaxed whilst ensuring they have a playful and fun time too. I have two miniature dachshunds - Rolo (3.5 years) & Cooper (1 year). They are friendly, cuddly and love to be around other dogs. We live in a quiet cul-de-sac with a fenced garden. I can offer toilet breaks every 2 hours and there are 2 nearby parks for regular walks and fresh air (3 mins and 6 mins away). I will pay attention to dietary needs and can give tablet medication if required. Treats are provided (if allowed!) and we have plenty of toys for them to play with. 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! I work from home 2-3 days a week (days vary, but I will keep my calendar up to date so availability will be as accurate as possible). My job is very laid back with very few calls so I can give my attention to your pet when they are with me at home. *** I will not leave your dog alone - I will only accept bookings on my work from home / annual leave days and weekends when I am here to give them my full care and attention **** We have a fenced garden for plenty of toilet breaks, playtime, sunbathing (in good weather!), they can relax in the garden with me, where there is plenty of shade (we are in a bit of a dip where we live, so it stays very cool) and in colder weather they can stay warm inside - my dogs love to soak up the warmth from a tower heater whilst snoozing. When the dogs sleep, I play Smooth Chill radio on the Alexa to make them feel more relaxed and settled. We have plenty of toys (chew, rope, squeaky, crinkle). Treats will be given (if allowed!) and I will pay close attention to dietary needs and feeding requirements. Book with me today and you can be reassured your pet will have a happy stay! If your dog is anxious / doesn’t like to be fussed over / prefers quiet - this will be noted and respected. Whatever your needs, please state this on your booking request. Thank you!

“Very good with my nervous dog, took a couple of days for him to get used to her, but he was happy with her & sad to see her go when I got back! House was clean & tidy, update photos sent as I requested.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and take pride in providing patient, reliable care. I’m comfortable feeding pets, refreshing water, going for walks, playing with them, cleaning up after them, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, so I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. Whether it’s daily visits, overnight care, or regular walks, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working part time in a nursery , so I have lots of availability in the evenings & weekends. We love going out on walks into fields and surrounding areas. I have a secure, fully fenced garden where pets can safely play and relax. I always make sure pets are supervised, have fresh water, and follow their usual routine. I’ll provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection to help them feel comfortable and at home. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always respect the owner’s instructions.

“Barney is really lovely. We instantly felt at ease leaving him to look after our boy and our house. He is kind, calm and trustworthy. He accommodated some last minute dates and extended his stay due to our family situation. Without a doubt, we would recommend and will definitely use him again.”

Donna S.

“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!”
