House Sitting in Monmouthshire

About: Background Having grown up with pets throughout my life, including dogs, cats, and small animals, I am a passionate and experienced animal lover. I previously worked as a pet sitter through a platform in Australia called Pawshake, where I cared for dogs of various sizes, breeds, and temperaments. This experience helped me become confident handling pets with a wide range of needs and personalities. About My Services I am available for dog sitting in your home for both short and long stays, including feeding, walking, playtime, and companionship to help keep your pet comfortable and happy while you are away. I offer dog walks seven days a week, including weekends, and I am flexible with timings, including later evening walks if needed. As a passionate runner, I am also happy to offer both short and long runs for energetic dogs, depending on their fitness level and needs. Walks and runs can range from 30 minutes to over an hour based on your pet’s routine and preferences. Additionally, I am comfortable administering oral and ear medications if required. Please feel free to get in touch with any questions, I would love to meet you and your pets! I have recently moved home for a period of time, so my availability for petsitting is full-time. I can dedicate all day to walking, playing and spending time with pets as needed. Following the owner’s guidance, I prioritise the safety and well-being of every pet in my care. I have experience working with anxious dogs and take all necessary precautions to ensure they feel calm, secure, and comfortable at all times. Where a dog is sensitive to busy or stressful environments, I choose quieter routes and off-peak times for walks to ensure they remain comfortable and relaxed.

“Oleksandra is a lovely person and my dogs took to her immediately. She took great care of the house and updated me frequently. The photos looked like my dogs had fun and I would happily rebook her.”

Kathryn L.

“This is the first time we've used 'Rover' and if Bronwyn is the benchmark we'll definitely be back. Bronwyn was very clear, conscientious and clearly enjoyed being with our pup. She did everything we asked and more, leaving our pup well loved and our house clean and tidy. I'm sure Henry (11 months old Jack Russell) will remember her fondly and look forward to seeing her in future.”

About: Hi there! 
My name is Caitlin Pautz, but I usually just go by Cait. I am 22 years old and I've been around pets since before I can even remember and one thing is for certain: no home is a home without happy pets. In June 2022, my family and I have moved to England from South Africa.
I have 2 older dogs of my own, a Yorkshire terrier named Pixel and a mixed breed named Missy. We brought them across from South Africa as they are just part of our family and it wasn't even an option to leave them behind! So they flew!
I have previously been an independent dog sitter for a French Bulldog, Gizmo. He was so full of energy and definitely kept me busy, but we got on like a house on fire. I have also had occasional jobs for our friends when they go away, looking after their house and furry friends. My most recent role was on an ongoing basis for 2 years before I moved out of Bristol, where I would do a house visit every Saturday morning, with a dog walk and feed the cats, as well occasionally house sit when the couple went away. It was a beautiful Pomeranian and 5 gorgeous black cats, who definitely opened up to me and got rather affectionate with me!
I am available for house or pet sittings with overnight stays. I am trustworthy and independent and know how to keep our fur babies happy. 
I am very flexible towards your needs and genuinely just happy to help! No request is too big or too small, contact me. I am DBS checked if that is a requirement for you. I am currently on placement in London. It is a hybrid role with two days in the office and the rest is work from home. This can also be flexible if needed. I treat my pets as part of the family. I am more than willing to work with each pet’s needs and adjust accordingly, and will always communicate with you on where we’re at and how your furry friend is feeling.

“What is there not to say about Luisa! She is absolutely brilliant! We had her for a overnight stay with Archie and he adored her from the moment he met her. Before her stay she came over to the see the layout of the house and meet Archie, and she made the introduction feel so smooth and friendly, she's basically a mate now! We got constant updates and pictures of our potato, and with her experience of having a bulldog herself, she knew the best ways to entertain Archie but also know his limits (they are stubborn loaves of bread)! We cannot thank Luisa enough and have already sent her profiles to loads of local mates as recommendations! We will be booking her loads in the future 😍”

“Kathryn was great! We had a call before hand just to go over what she was getting herself in for and she was perfectly happy! Showed up on time on the morning and kept our pup entertained throughout a very long day! We were nervous of him being a little boisterous as he's not the smallest of puppies but she took it on her atride. We got updates with images throughout the day and came back to a very happy pup. Would deffo use again!”

Ray S.

“Molly was an exceptional companion for our 11-month-old puppy! She stayed in our home and proved to be incredibly trustworthy and reliable. Throughout her time with us, she kept us fully informed about our dog’s welfare, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Molly genuinely cared for our pup and went above and beyond to ensure they were happy and well cared for. We couldn’t have been happier with the experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Molly to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Molly!”

About: Hi! My name is Dan, and I’m a passionate and reliable dog lover offering personalized dog walking, daycare, and boarding services. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, I understand that every pup is unique and deserves loving, attentive care—whether it's a fun walk, a cozy overnight stay, or daily check-ins while you're away. Safety, comfort, and tail wags are my top priorities, and I treat every dog like part of my own family. I'm here to give you peace of mind and your dog a happy, stress-free experience! Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. Although I work full time, I have a flexible schedule and the ability to work from home several days a week, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. Whether it’s fitting in walks during lunch breaks, early morning drop-ins, or evening playtime and overnight stays, I’m able to plan my day around the needs of each dog. My flexible hours mean I can provide consistent, attentive care—even on short notice—while ensuring pets feel safe, loved, and well looked after. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a pet owner’s home, I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and loving environment that helps each animal feel comfortable and secure. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, relax, and receive one-on-one attention, along with regular walks and a consistent routine. When caring for pets in their own home, I stick closely to their usual schedule, feeding routines, and comfort habits to minimize stress and maintain their sense of normalcy. I always make sure to keep open communication with pet parents, providing regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while they’re away.
