House Sitting Pollington

“Tara was great, it’s the first time I have had someone in my house to look after my dogs and Tara was incredibly trustworthy, I felt at ease from the moment we met. Kind caring and will definitely be booking Tara again x”

“We are so grateful to have found Julie and lucky that she had space to look after our 2 lovely feline family members Julie is so caring and nurturing. Our younger cat Tinsel is very nervous of people and I was quite worried about leaving him for a week as I thought he would not come in the house..how wrong I was. Julie worked her magic and he came in every night for her, letting her cuddle and fuss him and eating his meals for her. It's a miracle as he won't let anyone other than us go near him Our elderly lady Sasha was another worry as at 20 she has her routine and being part Siamese she still loves a lot of attention from us. But Julie looked after her so well and we felt very reassured Julie really understands cats, she gets to know them and she is in time with their personalities To top it all off Julie washed our towels and bedding, hung them out, cleaned and tidied and cooked our tea!!! She's an angel. 10 stars”

“Jordan was excellent at looking after our two dachshunds, one of which has a disability and therefore his needs are quite particular. It was a long day, 6.30am - 8pm house sit but Jordan patient and kind and was able to keep us posted throughout the day. Both dogs were happy and took to Jordan really well. 100% would have her back for another house sit.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young, having 3 family dogs in the home. I love the outdoors and walking loads too for the more adventurous dogs too! I work hybrid so have the flexibility to WFH meaning lots of cuddles and toilet breaks, plenty of walks and engagement. I also work half days on Friday so have the availability to walk on Friday afternoons too. I am happy to view homes before dog sitting and understand the environment in which your pet lives in, will require the basic needs of your dog before hand and learn about their habits (no off lead etc)

About: I've been a lifelong dog lover and owner. Apart from the Yorkshire terrier I had as a child, I've always been a fan/owner of rescue dogs, all shapes n size's n ages n medical needs and more. I'm happy to give animals any medication they may need, I understand if any pets have fears about other dogs, or objects. I can appreciate if you or your pet have any routines that need to be followed, and I will always abide by any rules/needs you and your pet have. I've experience of nervous dogs. I've also self funded my level 3 qualification in canine first aid, and I'm always keen to learn more about animals, dogs in particular, their psychology needs, training, behaviour. And I looked after a friend's housecat in January, so I've learned to change litter trays, and the importance of keeping housecats safe. My friends cat needs medication at set times through the day, so I got up early to give this, I adapted to the needs of the cat, and I'd do the same for any animal. It is a long time since I had rabbits, guinea pigs etc, but if you can educate about what you require me to do for your pet, then I'm eager to learn! Currently I help to care for my elderly father part time, but I have plenty of time to care for your pet needs. I don't have any children, and are unable to have my own pets , so I'd love to help other people care for their pets. I'm very adaptable, I drive my own car, I'm happy to work around your schedule. All I want to do is keep your pet and yourself happy. I adapt to whatever the situation I'm in presents to me. I understand that as humans are unique, so are our pets too. Keeping pets to routine they are used to me matters hugely to me, and equally keeping pets safe is of the utmost importance to me. As is respecting your and your pets privacy, I would never take a photo of your pet without permission, and I'd never post on social media. When I had my own dogs, I'd get up and let them into the garden if needed, then a cuddle and fuss, give them a little bit of breakfast, I'd have a cuppa, get dressed, and we would go for a walk. Then back home, a clean up if needed, a treat for them. If they wanted to play with toys then we would, if they wanted a nap they had one. Then another walk in the afternoon, then their main meal around 5pm, a dental stick around 6.30pm. Then more play if wanted, outside in the garden. Or snuggling on the sofa with me. I've tended to have mature dogs who enjoyed snoozing, but I was happy to go with whatever the dogs wanted. If my dogs needed it, they were bathed outdoors, as my bathroom is small lol.

“Megan was brilliant from start to finish. I have two labs and one of them is very nervous. She was happy to come and meet them beforehand and my nervous dog loves her! She kept me updated throughout her stay and the house was immaculate. Our dogs are usually quite stressed when we return but they weren’t this time and it was lovely to see!”

“Faye was so fab with my dog, followed all instructions, lots of playtime, sent regular updates and was so flexible with timings and a last minute booking! The bonus being my house was cleaner than when I left it! Thanks Faye xxxx”

About: I’m a 5th-year veterinary student with lots of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. Before vet school, I worked as a student veterinary nurse, where I regularly cared for animals in practice and also provided cat sitting for clients of the veterinary clinic. I’m confident caring for cats with all sorts of personalities and needs, from playful kittens to shy or senior cats. I’m comfortable giving medication, following specific care routines, and keeping a close eye on your pet’s health and behaviour. I’ve also looked after many dogs for friends, family and clients, so I’m happy caring for both! I’m reliable, calm and genuinely love spending time with animals. As a vet student, your pet’s wellbeing is always my top priority, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection and care while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time alongside my veterinary studies, so I have plenty of flexibility for pet sitting. I’m generally available on weekends and on weekdays, with some daytime availability depending on my university schedule. I’m happy to arrange visits around your pet’s usual routine and will always make sure they receive plenty of attention, care and companionship. I will be on my rotation year from September 2026 so will be looking for cat/dog sitting in different areas of the country, otherwise I'm based in SW London. I’m a 5th-year veterinary student with previous experience as a student veterinary nurse, so I’m very comfortable caring for animals safely and responsibly. I’m attentive to changes in behaviour or health and confident following specific feeding, medication and care instructions. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would my own, keeping doors and windows secure and making sure your pet is safe, comfortable and settled. Im based in a maisonette flat in Earlsfield with a small garden.

“John was excellent with Archie and Maggie. I felt happy and confident that they were being well looked after ...got lots of lovely updates! Will deffo be booking John again”

About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs and have spent my whole life caring for animals. Over the years, I’ve regularly looked after pets for friends and family while they were away, including feeding, walking, playing, administering basic care, and making sure they felt comfortable and loved in their owners’ absence. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own, paying close attention to their routines, needs, and personalities. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply some company and cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of care and attention while you’re away. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to spend lots of time with the pets in my care. Whether your pet enjoys company, playtime, regular walks, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I have a secure fenced garden and a friendly indoor cat. While she is gentle and calm around other animals, she can be a little nervous around unfamiliar pets. To ensure a stress-free environment for everyone, I can keep her on a separate floor of the house when needed. My home has three floors, providing plenty of space to safely separate pets if required. I will always make sure that both your pet and my cat are comfortable, happy, and well cared for during their stay!

“Megan took care of Bramble last minute as it was way too hot for her to come camping with me. She took wonderful care of her and kept me updated with messages and videos. Bramble was so well cared for. Highly recommend”

“I don’t mind admitting that I was a little apprehensive about having a dog sitter inside my house whilst I was out of town for 2 nights but I needn’t have worried. My dogs are pretty needy but Haley looked after them really well, she left the house clean and tidy and even put the bins out! Wouldn’t hesitate to use again. Thank you x”

About: I regularly care for a friendly cocker spaniel, so it's important that your dog is comfortable around other dogs. I've been informally dog sitting for around two years now and I really enjoy it. I work an office job during the week, so I am available to help from Friday at 3pm until Sunday evening. I'm an active sitter and love a long outdoor adventure in all weathers. I'm just as happy to take a stroll on lead down my nearby lanes, engage in a game of fetch or have a cheeky snuggle on the sofa for the afternoon - sometimes its hard to tell who's having more fun :) Your dogs will be free to roam around the bungalow, which is based in a quiet cul de sac in Great Houghton. There are no rules to where they can go, they are free to enjoy beds, sofas and the small enclosed garden we have out the back of the bungalow. I will try to stick to your normal routines where possible and will of course send updates and photos as many times as you need, I want you to feel just as relaxed as your pet. I work Monday to Friday so I'm only available on weekends. I usually have a cocker spaniel on a Saturday so please only get in touch if your dog is comfortable around other dogs I'm in a quiet cul de sac with an enclosed garden. There are lots of fun walks near me in varying length. Animals that stay here are treated as members of the family and will be loved and cared for as you would your own :)

About: I grew up with three cats and two dogs. I have a deep understanding of feline body language and emotional needs. I am patient in building their trust and happy to play with them. I have just completed my Master's degree at the University of Leeds and am approaching graduation. I'm currently in a free and fulfilling life transition, travelling and writing as a way of exploring the world. My schedule is highly flexible, and I'm available for most of the day to give cats my full attention. Pet care isn't a chore for me, because it's a natural part of daily life, and I genuinely cherish the quiet, gentle moments spent with animals. I have lived in both a house with a private garden and a high-rise city apartment, which gives me hands-on experience caring for cats in very different environments. I understand the specific considerations each setting requires: in a garden, that means monitoring escape routes and keeping an eye out for other animals; in an apartment, it means securing windows and ensuring balcony safety. Wherever I am, I always carry out a quick safety assessment so cats feel relaxed and well looked-after even in an unfamiliar space. I'm also a passionate photographer, and I love documenting the little moments of a cat's day through photos and videos. Owners can always count on regular updates, so they feel connected and reassured even when they're away.
