House Sitting Old Buckenham

“Rhi was so polite and caring. She was amazing with Bertie. I came home to a very happy puppy. Have already planned for her to come again. Would highly recommend her. Thank you so much Rhi, it was so nice not having to worry about my little one. Cannot thank you enough”

About: I am an avid animal lover. I love to be outside in nature and will regularly take your dog to the beach/forest/long walks (with your permission) . I will send you photo/video updates to ensure you know your dog is being looked after correctly. I am currently lucky enough to not have to work so I have plenty of free time to make time/play with your best friend! I’m extremely flexible. I do around 10-16 thousand steps a day. You will be asked for your email address once booking is confirmed to fill out if you are a new client. This is to ensure your dog gets the correct care and is looked after to the best of my ability. If your dog wants to come on a mini holiday they can stay over for lots of attention and lots of extra strokes and treats are a given. I'm happy to send photos/feedback from other clients.

“Danielle was absolutely amazing looking after our Frenchie, Buster, while we had to rush our other Frenchie,Remi to the emergency hospital. It was a very stressful time for us, but knowing Buster was in such caring hands gave us real peace of mind. She was incredibly friendly, kind, and patient, making sure Buster felt calm, comfortable, and relaxed throughout her stay. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and treated him like one of her own. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter during such a difficult situation. Many thanks Danielle 🐾 🐾”

About: I’ve owned dogs and other animals my whole life, training them from both 8 week old puppies and rescue dogs of various ages. I currently don’t have the capacity to own my own pet but still want that unconditional human animal interaction. I’m more than happy to train young pets and take your pets on as long a walk as you’d like. I’m new to the pet sitter career but I’ve been looking after pets unpaid my whole life. I also work in conservation so my heart is in animals and wildlife. I’m currently working 9-5 weekdays in conservation but I can give my whole weekend and Friday evening to your dog, taking it on walks, training it or just letting it chill out. I live in a very quiet area with my partner with a garden and a big green behind my house. Your dog would even have its own sanctuary bedroom for it to have some of its own time to decompress if needed. I have a fenced garden but unfortunately not dog proof yet but I can take your dog on plenty of walks and runs and out on the village green on a lead. Your dog would be my main priority and I wouldn’t leave it alone if you didn’t want me to.

“Izzy is a great dog sitter - our dog is normally quite standoffish with new people, but he took to her very quickly, which is a good sign. She was bang on time with her visit and left us feeling at ease with going out. No issues whatsoever and the whole experience was fantastic. We’ll definitely rebook in the future.”

“Allana provides a great service, this is the second visit to our home and my boys love her. I would definitely recommend Allana and will be asking her back again in the future. Thank you for everything.”

“Paula was so very kind and caring towards our cat and helped very much even when he was unwell. She kept in touch and sent pictures and videos of him. We were so grateful to have her here with him for peace of mind. She even cleaned the house before leaving which was so thoughtful. We will definitely use her again in the future.”

“Imogen did a brilliant job looking after our Greyhound Bob. I know he was happy because he'd eaten his lunch and he tends to not eat eat when he's anxious. Imogen went above and beyond to organise Bob sitting as I was struggling to find anyone who could do the hours. Would definitely book again and recommend.”

“Brilliant! Georgia looked after our saluki greyhound for 9 nights when we went to Greece. We came back to a happy, well looked after dog and a beautifully tidy and clean house. Thank you so much Georgia - it was so lovely to have you look after Farley and our house when we were away. 100% recommend!”

About: I had my own pet sitting business based in Winchester pre-covid. I have looked after groups of up to 8 large dogs for weeks at a time and have always dog walked. I have my own dog which I share with an ex-partner therefore will be available during the times I am not looking after him. I currently work full time, however I have the freedom to work from home and manage my hours therefore I have time to stay at the property all day or pop back and forth should I need to attend the office. I drive and can manage any pet sitting jobs needed around the times of having my own dog. When staying at a pet owners home, ideally I want to stick to the same routine as you in order to now upset your pets in anyway, I am happy to discuss with you any routines and make sure I have clear feeding/medication instructions.

About: I currently live in the countryside with my partner and our cocker spaniel Albie! I have grown up around animals my whole life and couldn’t see a lifewithout them! I would love to be able to be an extra companion for your dog, cuddle buddy, walk mate or someone you can rely on when life gets busy! I am keen to help with walks, drop in visits and at home stays. Due to my experience with animals my whole life, I am comfortable with animals of all ages. I look forward to meeting your fury friends! I work nights as a carer so most days I am free to assist with your pets. Due to my sleep pattern, a few days notice is preferable but I am happy to help at short notice where I can! I am happy to adhere to any safety adjustments you have set for your pet, whether that be crate training when staying in your home or using safety leads. I never walk my pets in areas I am unfamiliar with to avoid any safety concerns when out and about.

“We’re so glad we found Cassie! We felt so at ease knowing our cat was being looked after by her. She was great at giving us updates and we came home from our holiday to a very happy and loved little cat.”

About: I have owned cats all my life, from very sociable, playful cats, to timid, shy and anxious cats. I currently have two gorgeous bengal savannah cross kittens at home that are 4 months old. I know how important it is to make sure that even when we go away, and get that kitty parent guilt, there is someone to give that love and attention to your fur babies.

“Thank you much for looking after max you are a fantastic and max loved it I. I got pictures and texts to let me no how max was which made me not worried about him it was my first time having a dog sitter and I would use it again Julie is a fantastic person and put me at ease thank you again”

“Emma house sat for our GSD puppy while we were away for a few days. She was an excellent sitter and I can thoroughly recommend her. She’s clearly great with dogs and kept our GSD in his training schedule while we were away. She sent pictures every day so we could keep up with what what was going on back home. Great sitter!”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life from Dachshunds and terriers through to rescues and Labradors. I’ve recently retired and lost my companion Charlie so I’m hoping to invest my love in your precious one now. I’m recently retired so expect to spend all day with your pet, making them part of my life while they are with me. I live in a city centre maisonette and have a small secure outside space for fresh air, but there are also parks near me and all the smells and excitement of the city. I follow whatever exercise routine and rules you have at home. Pets can come on the sofa for cuddles if you allow that, and can either sleep downstairs or upstairs on the bed with me.

About: Whether it's 4 days, or 4 months, your pets deserve to feel safe and loved. When with them, they are my number 1 priority 💖 What once started as a fun hobby, turned into something I realised I'm actually really good at, and could make a living from! 5 years ago I started volunteering to walk dogs via BorrowMyDoggy, in London, then it became looking after dogs and cats in their homes. Then I moved out of London, to Norfolk, and found a wonderful community built on trust and friendliness. I made friends and naturally offered to look after their pets when they're away. My big realisation happened when I did a house/pet sit for, in total, near on FOUR MONTHS. It was two dogs (Cockapoo & Beagle-Pitbull), and two cats, with one cat being poorly, which was a steep learning curve for me. I made friends with the client's dog walker, Paula (of Paula's Pawsome Dog Park!), who asked me if this is something I'd consider doing again, and so got me thinking. I then went on to do my first sit through her for a sweet old Basset Hound, Pippa, and a cute cat, Blossom. Then two weeks for Hamish & Mollie, both Romanian rescues, who enjoyed our evening walks! Then one day with Marley the cocker spaniel, while his parents attended a wedding. The next month was a back to back week of Perrie & Bailey Cockapoo Mum & Son full of big adventurous walks in the forest and splashing in ponds, then a very different week with elderly Zippy & Narla. We keep going! Martha & Milo the chihuahuas, shy rescue cat, and... chickens! I view animals like people, they have their own quirks and preferences, and I always feel honoured to be able to share their space and be part of their lives, even for just a couple days, I am always so grateful. I'm currently working part-time at a pub in Attleborough, and dabble in hypnotherapy and tarot reading. I do like to get out and explore, however, when I am with your pets, I dedicate as much time as possible with them. I find being with animals so much fun, so it's something I look forward to doing. Before looking after your pets, I make sure we have discussed and shared anything that I need to know to ensure your pets are safe and well looked after.

“Zoe was fabulous with our Henry! He’s a very pampered cat.. and isn’t sure of new people. But he was very settled and happy with Zoe. A chilled calm and happy little man when we returned home after a couple of days away. Zoe sent me a few photos- which is super reassuring. She took great care of our home. We would not hesitate to ask for Zoe again, or recommend her!”

“We asked Skye to look after our dog who we haven’t had long or left yet and is very nervous, Skye was great and knew exactly how to take care of him. She was very lovely and reliable and would definitely ask her to sit again⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
