House Sitting Rugby

About: I offer different kinds of walks, catered to your dogs needs, whether a quick pop in, a sniff walk or a ramble in their favourite wood. I am currently undertaking a pet first aid course to be able to offer that extra peace of mind for your pet. I will happily send over lots of photos and videos of your pet having the best time 😊 I am also an avid cat lover, having been the butler to my rescue boy, Floof for 8 years. I have had cats in my life growing up and once took in a mama and her 3 babies, whilst having 2 already established in my house. It was chaos and I loved every second I have also been DBS checked. I currently work 9-5 but I am up with the birds, so can happily do early morning visits and walks. I can come straight after work for a longer visit or walk if needed I prefer to care for your pets in your own home, giving them the security and familiarity they need. I am happy to take them on their regular walks or home visits.

About: My name is Rhiann and I am 32 years old. I live in Rugby and have been caring for pets for around 7 years officially, however have been helping friends and family out since I was 16! I can provide lots of references from current and past pet owners who have used my service. I am friendly, reliable and easy going- no job is too big or too small, I will endeavour to fulfil any requirements you may have! I am very flexible so will always try my best to fit your requirements into my daily schedule to the best of my ability. No job is too big or too small, I treat all pets like my own and endeavour to send photos and videos to owners every single visit. I regularly had repeat clients and look forward to seeing my furry friends time and time again! To chat, please get in touch! :) I will always aim to visit your pets between 7am and 9am on my way to my main job as a primary school teacher. I will ensure pets are fed and left with clean water bowls and litter trays for the day. I am happy to stay and play/have cuddles (if this is something your cats enjoy of course!) before heading off for the day. I will then aim to return between 5pm and 7pm for evening checks. Cats will be fed, litter cleaned and water refreshed. This is my main opportunity to spend some time with the kitties that need it, and it’s the part of the day I enjoy the most! I can administer mediation and leave treats at the discretion of the owner. Also happy to do little jobs such as draw curtains/blinds, open or close cat flaps, but bins out etc! I will always follow the instructions of the pet owner to ensure the animals usually daily routine is adhered to to the best of my ability. No request is too big or too small; if it’s what the pet needs I’ll be happy to oblige!

About: Hi! I’m a caring and responsible dog lover who has been a dedicated dog owner since April 2020. Although I don’t have formal pet sitting experience, I have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs every day — including raising a few newborn puppies. This has made me especially patient, gentle, and attentive to dogs’ needs at every stage of life. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I will treat your dog like my own family member, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. Pet care is already part of my daily life as a dog owner, so I easily incorporate it into my routine. I am available after 4:30pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. I also work from home one day between Tuesday and Thursday, which means I can offer daytime care and keep your dog company instead of leaving them alone. I have a flexible schedule during these times and can provide reliable, attentive care, ensuring your pet receives plenty of companionship, supervision, and love. I specialise in caring for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. By keeping your pet in a familiar environment, I help reduce stress and maintain their normal routine. I carefully follow all instructions, stay attentive to their behaviour, and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times. This approach is especially beneficial for dogs who are anxious, shy, or simply prefer staying in their own space. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and video updates for your peace of mind.

“Plans change and Meg went to stay with Gary and his wife and three dogs . She was well looked after and was taken for a walk with the other dogs. I highly recommend Gary a very polite kind gentleman.”

About: Hi! I am a friendly, caring and reliable professional. I recently moved to Rugby from London, where I looked after lots of cats in my local area through Cat in a Flat. I grew up with animals and have had pets all of my life. I have lovely (and sometime mischievous) ginger cat of my own at home but I love to make other feline friends! I am looking forward to hearing from you!

“Jessica so obviously loves pooches! Her updates made us feel relaxed about having left Ness for the first time. Will have no hesitation booking her again so we can go away in the knowledge our baby will be very well looked after and snuggled😍🐶”

“We were so confident after meeting our sitter that our pet was going to be well looked after. We had regular updates and photos which we found very reassuring.”

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently own two Rottweilers and a German Shepherd and have grown up around Rottweilers and other large breeds throughout my life. My experience has given me confidence in handling strong, energetic dogs as well as understanding different personalities, temperaments and training needs. I am comfortable with large breeds, working breeds, puppies and senior dogs, and I know how important routine, exercise, patience and positive interactions are. Friends, family and neighbours have trusted me to care for their pets over the years, whether that involves walking, feeding, playtime, companionship or maintaining their normal routine while they're away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, loving and reliable environment where owners can feel confident that their pets are in experienced hands. Why I Love Dogs Dogs have always been a part of my family and daily life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that's going for walks, playing, training or simply giving them attention and companionship. Building trust with each dog and seeing them happy and comfortable is one of the most rewarding parts of caring for them. Skills ✓ Large breed experience ✓ Rottweiler experience ✓ German Shepherd experience ✓ Puppy care ✓ Senior dog care ✓ High-energy dogs ✓ Basic training reinforcement ✓ Comfortable with strong dogs on walks Caring for dogs is already part of my everyday life as I own two Rottweilers and a German Shepherd. I provide regular exercise, enrichment and companionship, and I have a Nissan Navara, allowing me to safely transport dogs to secure dog fields and walking locations for extra exercise and stimulation. I am committed to treating every dog as if they were my own. I provide a safe, structured and caring environment where dogs can feel comfortable and relaxed. With years of experience owning and handling large breeds, I am confident managing dogs of different sizes, ages and temperaments. I follow owners' routines closely, provide regular updates and can transport dogs safely for walks and visits to secure dog fields when appropriate. Your dog's safety and wellbeing will always be my priority.

“Colin and Cris are amazing. We left our beloved pooches with them.for over 2 weeks which for a first time sit, was quite daunting for us. We couldn't have asked for more, as we received regular updates and photos and we truly felt happy that our two little ones were being loved and well cared for. We came home to very happy pooches and we cannot thank Colin and Cris enough ! It made our holiday so much better knowing they were in good hands. Thank.you again guys xxxx”

About: Having had rescued dogs throughout my whole life, I understand each dogs needs are varied and the wide responsibilities that comes with that. I have masses of experiences in walking family dogs and looking after them independently. I have pet sat for many friends and feel I am truly reliable and can be trusted. I have recently moved to the area to be closer to my family, and have full availability for looking after any pet needs. As I only work from home for a few hours per week, I can be available what you are at your full time job and look after your pet. I do not currently have any ability to sit any dogs in my home. In an owners home, I will make sure the pet is always well looked after, with regular walks, lots of attention and well timed feeding.

“We could tell our dog Dave was very happy and at ease with you both, so thank you so much for looking after him. Dave says “I hope they are coming back soon!”😁”

About: I've taken care of dogs “professionally” ever since I’ve been 14 years old. This also doesn’t include the fact I have grown up with them during childhood. Neighbours, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I have a senior dog myself since she’s been a puppy I’ve been there for all her care and support necessary including surgery recovery. I am a student. Even if I’m not home which most likely I will be the whole time there will be a resposible adult home. I am completely available to board from Friday till Sunday with acceptions on weekdays. Sitting and walking can occur from weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed, kept separate, walks only on leashes and alone.

About: I’ve had dogs all throughout my childhood, and now I have moved out of home and bought my own place, I’m looking to help others with their furry bestie. I work from home during the week on a flexible work pattern, so I’m able to pop out and attend to your dogs needs when necessary. I have a fenced garden (with grass!) and a camera outside the house for extra protection. I work downstairs so your dog will never feel like they are alone.

“Lovely, professional, punctual and the dogs seemed very relaxed when we got home. Great communication. House was left spotless. Thank you Dawn!”

“We had booked KaYan for dog sitting in our home for two days, and they did an excellent job. They were very willing to meet us twice beforehand so they could get to know our dog - he’s a large dog, so this preparation meant a lot to us. They were thoughtful, understanding of both his needs and ours, and handled everything with real care. Our dog was relaxed and happy when we returned, and the house was left exactly as we’d hoped. We’d book them again without hesitation.”

“What can we say about Martina very friendly and professional went above and beyond really especially for the times she arrived to care for Daisy. Martina is lovely and was very good with Daisy who appeared very happy in the photos that Martina sent to us which reassured us she was being well looked after and Daisy had plenty of excercise. Daisy is very much in the moment when walked Martina was unfazed by this and has taught her some great manners so thanks for that. Daisy loved Martina and had a great time and she was looking for her this morning when we got up so that's a big plus. It was the first time we had left Daisy so was slightly nervous but there was no need she was in good hands and I will definitely be asking for Martina next time we plan a trip. Thanks again Martina your a star.”

“Highly recommend Laure-Jo. We felt confident that our dog Remy was safe, and well cared for while we away. This was the 1st time for us with Rovers and Laure-Jo. Great communication, regular updates and photos. Will definitely book her again! Annie & Jon”
