Top-rated Richmond house sitters

“On arrival Maria was loved by our puppy Alvin, they were best friends from the start. Prior and upon arrival Maria made sure to ask all the right questions to make sure Alvin was getting all the appropriate care he needed which showed real passion and professionalism. Unfortunately our sitting had to be cut short due to no fault of Maria, but due to my partner returning home as she was sick. In this scenario Maria made sure to walk Alvin thoroughly before she left so that my partner got a nice and worn out puppy who’d just sleep when they got back. A very thoughtful touch. Would book again in a heartbeat!”


“Clarence is the best dog sitter ever, and we are really lucky to have found him. He seems to have a magic way with dogs, and our two had a wonderful time with him. He provided regular updates and photos and took excellent care of both the dogs and our home. I would not hesitate to use him again, and I think the dogs would like him to move in permanently! Many thanks, Clarence - you are fabulous!”


“Simon was great with Nancy our English Bulldog! He followed our care instructions perfectly and gave us updates throughout the day. She clearly felt very comfortable in his company and we would absolutely book with him again! Thanks so much!”


“Gigi loved staying with Melek. Usually she would be restless and anxious when we leave but with Melek, I saw that she was quite comfortable. When you have a pet with separation anxiety you either feel guilty or share the anxiety when you need to leave them. Frequent videos and pictures of Gigi being calm and cool were really helpful in putting my mind at ease. Would totally recommend Melek, she is kind, thoughtful, attentive and very loving.”


“Ruby is a lovely sitter. Caring, reliable and always on time. She’s great with Benji and also really warm towards my two girls. Benji is always well cared for and our home Is always respected. Thank you Ruby”



“This is was my first time leaving my little ones properly in someone else's care and though a bit anxious Charlie has managed to put my fears to rest. The all up experience has been lovely, had all my questions answered and got constant updates. Will definitely leave them in his care again.”


“Had a great experience!”


“Jordan was fantastic - punctual, polite, friendly and helpful. Bernie was well looked after and I would happily book Jordan again in the future!”


“Davide is a polite, friendly and communicative person who took care of our pets over a weekend. He formed a bond with both animals and we returned to find them in good form and well looked after. Wouldn't hesitate to invite him again.”


“Thank you Jessica! Helping out at such short notice and taking brilliant care of Otis, who turned out to not be very well but seemed very happy and content when I got home. Very professional and great service xxxx”


“Natasha kept in touch every day with photos and videos of my pets, whom I missed so much the two weeks I was away. She gave me confidence that everything was being looked after, and assured me my pets were well looked after.”


“We left our pets (Corgi and a cat) with Rone for a week. Everything was spot on from the very start - from communication to the actual care for our furry friends. Both looked very happy and healthy when we've got back from our trip. Rone has also left our flat very tidy. Highly recommend!”


“Alexia was absolutely wonderful with summer and Noodles! We have never used Rover before or even a house sitter before and the daily updates we got from Alexia and messages made us so happy. Our house was lovely and tidy when we got home and she even marked our milk bottles with the day they were delivered! We will definitely use Alexia again and totally recommend her. Thank you do much Alexia. Summer and noodles definitely had a super holiday too :)”


“Ella looked after Coco for the first time. She is super friendly, clearly loves dogs and made me feel completely comfortable leaving coco with her at our place. Would use again in a heartbeat!”


“Ross was incredible at looking after both my dogs. They aren’t small dogs and all their requirements were met lots of cuddles were given happy Walkies 🐾 happy tummies and also I got caught up and had to stay away another night. Ross was very accommodating and was able to help me out. Would highly recommend! Thank you!”


“Susi was amazing with Milo, I think he probably would have liked if we stayed away longer ? She was incredibly knowledgeable and affectionate towards Milo. Will definitely be getting in touch when we need a sitter again. 6 Stars ⭐️”


“Sam did a terrific job with Winston. He played fetch and taught him some new skills while also having a lot of fun. When I came back Winston was sleeping happily at Sam’s feet! Great job Sam. You are a real pleasure to work with. Best. Grant.”


“Amy looked after crumble for an hour in our house, where she took her outside and gave her a bit of stimulation. She sent lots of photos and everything went perfectly. Thanks Amy!”


“Camille and Dean are two of the loveliest people! It's clear that they are real dog lovers, as they showered our pup Ig with so much love and attention from the moment they met her. They were great in their communication in the lead up to the sit, and also on the day, and sent us pictures and videos to let us know how Igi was doing. Igi was so calm and happy when we got home. It was so comforting to know she'd had a lovely day with them and had been looked after so well. We will definitely be asking Camille & Dean to care for Igi in the future!”


About: I’ve completed basic training with my family Labrador and German Shorthaired Pointer. So I know how to correctly walk your dog. I’ve also cared for a beautiful teacup Yorkie with special needs. I am observant and read the body language of dogs quite well. I would use these skills to ensure your dog has a good experience with me and is kept safe at all times. I am currently taking a break from my desk job and would love to walk your dog and drop-in to check on your furry friend! My schedule is pretty open so I can walk your dog and do house visit as and when needed. I have cared for big dogs (up to 90kgs), medium dogs and also very small dogs (less than 2kgs) so I am aware that each dog requires a different approach. I am happy to follow specific instructions and will take care in making sure the dog and owner are happy. I have volunteered at a number of animal shelters and can administer basic medication. I will do my utmost to ensure your beloved pet is happy and safe!
