House Sitting Micheldever

“Imi was amazing! She looked after our 8 month lab puppy for the afternoon who loved lots of belly scratches and playing. Imi is lovely, was great at communicating and even was happy to met us beforehand and for a walk 🐾 we hope Imi is available again to help look after our pup!”

“Jazz was absolutely brilliant with our 4-month puppy Daisy. Communication was fab and we received lots of lovely photos through the day. Daisy clearly had a wonderful time with her and can’t wait for her next day out! Would highly recommend.”

About: Hello we are Yvie & Stu, We are both life long animal lover's, After the recent loss of our lovely 14 year old parsons terrier Tobi, We will be new to pet sitting from September 2026. This was always part of our long term goal, as we can’t imagine a pet free life, however we are embracing our newly found freedoms. Yvie adopted Tobi, who was a senior boy at aged 9, Stu walked into our lives just a few months after and well, it was love at first sight for her 2 boys! We will be offering week end breaks at your home for the remainder of 2026, with an option to board at our home to follow in 2027. We will be offering love and care for small to medium dogs and specialising in terriers and senior pets. (cats to follow in 2027) Our intention is to offer a prestige service whereby we treat your home and precious pet, just as we would our own. Keeping to your routines and instructions. We live in the beautiful Hampshire country side, offering a clean and tidy home with a secure front and back garden. We have senior steps to help get on to higher places if needed and if we need to pop out for a short while, we have a dog cam, so we can keep an eye. We are ready to have a furry friend sat between us on our sofa and look forward to listening to the pitter patter of paws exploring our home. Surrounded by endless country walks, we are looking forward to new adventures with the new pet friends we meet both in our home and yours. Our hearts are still healing from our recent loss but we know our smiles will return as the mischief commences ! Our car is equipped with dog bars, comfy bed, warm blanket, toys and a water bowl, so whilst we explore the area around your home, our new friends can join us all the way! Giving you time to relax and re energise, knowing that they are having fresh adventures too, with daily photos sent to keep your mind at ease We are both insured, have completed a dog first aid course and Yvie offers an enhanced DBS check too. Yvie Yvie has been a dog owner since the age of 16. Now a mother to 3 grown up children and a grandmother to an almost teenager! She has always been a huge animal lover, her family has owned dogs, rabbits , hamsters working as a freelance admin and as a Reiki Master, her healing work often extends to dogs.. 30 years experience of terriers has equipped her to expect the un-expected! She has been luckily enough to be owned by 2 x jack Russell’s and 1 x parsons terrier during her life time. She is happy with any small / medium breed, However with the exception of cuddly labs, retrievers & spaniels, she doesn’t feel confident with other large breeds. All dogs in her care will receive on lead walks, (pre paid, secure exercise fields will of course be attended, if off lead walking is required). Having a great understanding of senior care, as 2 of her boys reached almost 15. From medication, dietary requirements, changes in food habits, eye drops, reduced walks, sticky hips, arthritis, washing of legs due to mishaps, muzzles due to reactivity to anything with legs … well she’s done it all . Working from home/ anywhere on a Monday & Tuesday, she can be on hand for play time and garden breaks. Yvie is the walker, the feeder the practical one .. of course I offer fuss and love too. Stu Stu is a tactile big softy - he’s the tickler, the fun one! …he is a full time gardener and handyman and always has a pocket full of treats to charm his regulars on his rounds! He loves and has previously owned both dogs and cats and will sit for hours, giving them the fuss and love they deserve. This is his way of relaxing after a hard, weathered week. Stu has always been more drawn to cats, this is his area of expertise. He will most likely need to return to work for Monday but he will enjoy the relaxation of a new environment for our pet week ends away. Us Although our charges are higher than most, I feel they are a true reflection of the friendly, warm and loving care that will be given to both your beloved pet and your home. We are both extremely clean and tidy and will leave everything in your home as found. We both love all animals and as dog parents we know how stressful it can be to leave them ! It’s our mission to make this transition as smooth as possible. Regular photo & snippets of the day will be sent to ease your mind. I relied heavily on Rover to help me ,when I lived alone many years ago and travelled 3/4 nights a week with a corporate job. My boy had a team of trusted companions, most of which I found on here and some from my local village, they all made his time away from me, stress free and easy and I was always assured that he was having the best care. One dog carer in particular was chosen by my dog ! On a walk through the village he launched all of his affection at her, which was very unusual, after chatting she turned out to be a pet sitter and walker and there friendship continued from that day, We would have been lost without her invaluable help over the years. Enabling us to take day trips and long week ends away, worry free. We now hope our experience, in all areas, will keep you and your pet as happy as they can be, whilst you’re apart. For distance stays our initial meeting will be via video, spending time chatting, introducing me to your pet/s and home, learning about routines and of course quirks! For local stays, we will arrange a meet & greet session. You have our assurance that your pet/s and home our safe our my hands. Our aim is to keep your mind at ease, so you can relax and enjoy your pet free time, we totally understand how hard it is to leave them and also appreciate how important it is to have a pet free break away! Stays further away may be possible for an extra charge. At the weekends my day will be spent following your usual routine requirements. If I’m in a new area i/ we will pop out for a short time to explore, ensuring that we are not away, for more than a few hours. Monday and Tuesday dogs will be walked before work, at lunch (weather permitting in midday heat etc ) and of an evening. Following your meal, medication and sleep requirements, so your fur baby keeps to there usual routine. Whilst caring for pets in your home, We will follow your instructions. Please leave a folder of your pets care needs, inclusive of vet details and emergency contact & dietary information. I will only offer on lead walks to dogs but will happily attend pre paid dog walking paddocks, if required. If I’m working from home, regular breaks will made to allow for tickle and toilet breaks . Whilst at your home I will require a small amount of fridge space, WiFi code and a comfy bed. A home section in the folder is really handy giving instructions for any alarms, heating, cooking equipment etc.

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: 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.

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.

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.

“Bethany is fabulous! We had a meet and greet a couple of weeks ago and I booked her for a trip I have this weekend, however I had an unexpected trip I had to take last weekend and she was able to help at short notice. Bethany kept me informed of Reggie whenever I asked for an update and would let me know how he was doing and quick to respond. Reggie was a happy boy when I got home so I know he was well looked after and the house was left clean and tidy. Bethany is very accommodating and will do what she can to help look after your furbaby! will definitely book again, thankyou Bethany :)”

About: Friends, family and neighbours have relied on me to look after their dogs when they are away or walk them when they are unable to. As a university student with a part-time zero-hour contract, my schedule offers a good level of flexibility. My availability can vary week to week, but I’ll always be clear and communicative about this and only accept bookings I can fully commit to. I’m happy to discuss dates and work around your pet’s routine where possible! I believe pets are happiest when their routine is maintained, so I will always try to provide care that feels familiar to them. In a pet owner’s home, I’ll stick closely to their usual routine for feeding, walks, exercise, play and any other care needs. Whether your pet loves company and cuddles or prefers a quieter approach, I’ll adapt to what makes them feel safest and happiest.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was little, I'm experienced caring for all animals as well as your home. I'll make your pet feel like they've had a mini holiday too! 🐾 I can work from anywhere with flexible timings around your pets needs, so whether your pup prefers regular walks, evening ganders or lots of play time - I'll work to their needs! I can come to your home so your pet feels comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I will keep dogs on lead until they know me well and I trust their recall.

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.
