House Sitting Overton

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.

“Angela was the perfect house and dog sitter. Our puppy was just a year old, full of energy and mischief! Angela took her for lovely long walks, kept her entertained and cuddled up together in the evenings. It gave us peace of mind that Berry was safe, happy and loved. We will be booking with Angela again when we go away.”

“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.”

“Keyleigh was amazing from start to finish. Betty loved Keyleigh as soon as she met her on the house visit. Keyleigh listened to us, and made us feel at ease. Whilst we were away there was clear communication which made us trust Keyleigh and we could enjoy our holiday knowing Betty was in safe hands. In the future I will definitely be asking Keyleigh to look after Betty.”

“We came back to a super happy puppy after our long weekend all thanks to Kirsty. She sent us regular updates and put our minds at ease from the get go so we knew he was in safe hands. Kirsty made everything super simple and left everything spotless - the perfect houseguest. We will definitely use Kirsty again!”

About: Hi I’m Megan, I’m 27 and I’m a reliable and caring animal lover offering pet sitting in your own home, so your pets can stay comfortable in familiar surroundings while you’re away. I have four cats of my own and plenty of hands on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I regularly look after friends’ and family members’ pets, giving me experience with a wide range of personalities, breeds and ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra care. I work Monday to Friday in a role that allows me to split my time between working from home and being in the office. This means I can offer flexibility depending on your pet’s needs and provide plenty of companionship, particularly on the days I’m working from home. I’m happy to provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, companionship, administering routine medication if required, litter tray cleaning and regular updates with photos for your peace of mind. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’ll always do my best to stick to it so they feel safe, happy and well cared for. Whether you’re away for a day, a weekend or longer, I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I work Monday to Friday, 9:00am–5:00pm, with a mix of office and home working. This means I’m available before and after work every day, all weekend, and I also have flexibility during the week when I’m working from home. I can provide morning and evening visits, overnight stays (where agreed), weekend care, and some daytime visits depending on my work schedule. I’ll always make sure your pet receives plenty of care, attention, exercise, and companionship. I have four cats of my own, so looking after animals is a big part of my everyday life. I’ve also looked after dogs and cats for family and friends, so I’m used to different routines and personalities. When I’m caring for someone’s pet, I stick to their usual routine as much as possible, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I know every pet is different, so I’m happy to follow any instructions to make sure they feel comfortable and settled. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you know they’re happy and being well looked after.

“Charlie has trusted Celente so quickly which is very rare and a sign of her calm energy. She kept me up to date regularly and we came back to a very happy dog, which is another great sign. Would definitely recommend. Charlie looks fwd to seeing you at the weekend again!”

“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.”

“Nicola did a wonderful job looking after Rasmus the cat and taking care of our house, the plants, etc. I would recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for pet sitters and/or house sitting. Not only did she look after our cat and the house beautifully, she went above and beyond, dealing with extra issues that came up along the way and even thinking of asking us if we needed anything like milk and bread for our return. She left the house spotless for us which was absolutely lovely to come back to. During our absence, she kept me posted with pictures and videos and we all noticed how happy Rasmus looked--he obviously adores Nicola! We would be delighted to have Nicola permanently as our cat/house sitter and really hope she will come back next time.”

“Ali was professional and reliable and came before to meet the dogs and learn about them. She was very considerate of the dogs needs and they were clearly very relaxed in her presence which is unusual and great to see. She gave me feedback how the dogs were doing during the day which was appreciated! Would book again!”

Maja S.

“So pleased with leaving my little one with Leanne. First time I have left him for a night. I was kept up to date throughout as to how he was doing. He appeared happy when we returned. Home was left clean and tidy. Will definitely be using leanne again.”

“Maureen looked after our sausage dog Eric for 10 days while we were on holiday. She was very good at communicating before and during the stay and sent regular photos and updates. Eric was clearly very happy being with her. In addition she looked out for our numerous parcel deliveries, put the bins out on bin collection day and watered my plant. The accommodation was spotless when she left. Maureen is a lovely lady and we are hoping she will sit for us again in August.”

About: I have loved and cared for dogs my entire life. I grew up rescuing stray dogs and giving them a safe place, food and love. Over the years I have cared for many different breeds, from small playful dogs to large strong ones. I am calm, patient and attentive to every dog’s personality and needs. For me dogs are not just pets – they are family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and being active outdoors. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate proper time and attention to each pet I care for. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings when needed. When I look after a pet, I make sure they receive enough exercise, attention, and companionship. I never rush walks and always adapt the time and activity to the dog’s needs and energy level. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority. I treat every dog as if it were my own. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and properly supervised at all times. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and any instructions given by the owner so they feel secure and relaxed. Even though I live in an apartment, I make sure dogs receive plenty of outdoor time, exercise, and fresh air through regular walks and visits to nearby parks. I keep a calm and clean environment and always focus on building trust with both pets and their owners.

“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!”

Gursh S.

“Hands down the best dog sitting experience we've ever had. We felt so at ease the entire week and the pictures and videos gave us so much confidence that Bramble was happy and well looked after. Rebecca is considerate and thoughtful and we would not hesitate at all to book again.”

Hayley B.

“Keyah was fantastic! She was really communicative and accommodating throughout, and took such great care of our dog, Rafferty. He clearly adored her! The house was spotless when we got back too. We’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to others.”

Laura B.

“Our mini dachshunds had a great day with Jessica! They don't usually trust anyone other than us, they're uber sensitive which can be hard work sometimes. But we came home to two exhausted and calm pups. She sent us some brilliant pictures throughout the day and updates and it was very stress free for us :) Pippa and Clint had a fun filled day and are looking forward to seeing her again soon!”

Rebecca H.

“Toni was very responsive and punctual. She took excellent care of both my dog and cat, and I would recommend her to anyone!”

Haylee F.

“Amber was absolutely brilliant - responsive to messages and key me constantly updated. Will absolutely be booking again for future trips!”

Laura B.

“Hilary was absolutely wonderful. She was responsible, attentive and caring. I knew our girls were in good hands and would certainly trust her again to watch them. In addition to taking good care of both dogs, our house was tidy and clean. Such a treat!”
