House Sitting in Rutland

“I would have no hesitation in recommending Davina to others! She followed all instructions and looked after Lennon as if he was her own. It was clear on our return that they had a brilliant time together! Thank you so much Davina for helping us be able to enjoy our day out knowing Lennon was being loved and well looked after!”

About: As your potential house and dog sitter, I want you to know that I've grown up with dogs my entire life, always having canine companions by my side. This lifelong experience means I instinctively understand dog behaviour and their unique needs. You can rest assured your beloved dog will be in caring, experienced hands, receiving the same love and attention I've always given my own furry friends. I like to start my mornings with a morning walk, usually at least one hour in duration and I like to finish the day with an afternoon/evening walk. The evening walk is usually shorter, 20 to 30 min in length, but of course I’m happy to extend if your pet needs this extra exercise. I am a very trustworthy person and will always treat your pet and home as if they were my own - if not better. I ensure your pet keeps to their routine so they remain happy, secure and loved.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up with cats and now have two very different dogs of my own. Lando, a stubborn but lovable Rottweiler, and Rolo, an anxious little dachshund with a big heart. I trained both of them myself and often get compliments on how well behaved they are. Rolo’s journey especially has taught me so much we’ve worked hard to build his confidence and help him feel safe, and the progress we’ve made is something I’m really proud of. I understand that every dog is different, and I’m patient, calm, and tuned in to their individual needs. Whether they’re shy, reactive, energetic, or just need a little extra love. While I’m new to pet sitting and dog walking professionally, I bring real life experience, a deep love for animals, and a commitment to treating your pets like family. Belly rubs and treats are always included! Right now, I’m not working a traditional job, which means I have the time, flexibility, and energy to focus fully on pet care. My days already revolve around walks, playtime, training sessions, and snuggles with my two dogs, Lando and Rolo. I’m used to managing different needs and routines, and I genuinely enjoy giving animals the attention and care they deserve. While I don’t offer care in my own home, I take caring for pets in their own space seriously it’s where they feel safest and most comfortable. I always follow your instructions closely, whether it’s feeding routines, medications, walk schedules, or just how your pet likes to be greeted. I take the time to earn their trust, keep things calm and positive, and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and play (or quiet time if that’s what they prefer). I treat every pet like they’re my own!

“Bethany looked after our dog for one day. She visited a few days before to meet him. Her communication was excellent throughout with plenty of update photos on the day. He seemed really relaxed and to have enjoyed being looked after and we felt that he was in very safe hands. We will definitely be booking again!”

“Amelia is incredible we trusted her with out dog from the second she met us. She is knowledgeable and trust worthy and did all she could with our dog she went above and beyond what we expected.”

“Oskar came round before we booked the sitting to make sure both parties were happy before we booked. Oskar was very through with questions and understanding the dogs and we both agreed to go ahead. Oskar was great during the sit, sending us updates, photos and videos. It was great to have someone stay most of the day with our dogs (hasn’t happened before with other sits) and our dogs looked very comfortable and relaxed in Oskars presence. We also felt very relaxed on holiday knowing they were being very well looked after. We would recommend Oskar highly and would also book him again as it’s hard to find a great dog sitter.”

No other animals /threat could get to the pet whilst it stays there.

About: 10 years of military dog training, animal first aid trained. Animal welfare consultant for several charities and public services, Puppy trainer and novice gun dog trainer I have spent most of my adult life working with animals mainly dogs, but have experience with cats and scary birds, it’s a passion for me Generally Entering into an Animals house for the first time is challenging for the Animal, by letting the animal come to you allows for the Animal To build trust

“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.”

About: I have 25 years experience looking after dogs and other animals such as cats, rabbits, guinea pigs & fish. I used to ride horses and compete in agility with my old border Collie, Welly, who I helped raise from birth. He sparked my interest in training dogs and my love for Border Collies. We went on to have a few litters, always being on hand to help care for them, clean up after them and teach basic obedience to, before they went off to their forever homes. I competed with Welly until his arthritis and cancer got the the better of him, turning those training sessions into cuddle sessions, spending as much time as possible with him in his later days and trying to make him as comfortable as possible. My dad had a dog called Gus from the litter after Wellys' who I then looked after whilst he was working. Many years later I brought Fred home, from a little fluff ball. Slowly taining him to be my assistance dog and shaping him into an absolutely incredible dog who's so gentle and loving. As soon as I wake up I call Fred over for a cuddle for 5 minutes. We then go outside for a little while so he can go to the toilet and bird watch. Whilst the kettle boils I sort his breakfast out before going to sit down whilst he finishes up before we start our day. He has regular toilet breaks and the opportunity to lay outside if he wishes. He goes for a walk & plays ball frequently I have a large fenced garden and let Fred treat the house like a home. He's allowed on the sofa and beds but has manners

About: I first fell in love with dogs when I began walking my neighbours Jack Russel, Alfie, in 2019. I have been unable to adopt a dog myself since my cat is quite afraid of them. Therefore I would LOVE to take your dog on entertaining and exciting walks through the beautiful country surrounding Leicester. I am a very active person so can cater to high energy dogs who are in need of long and tiring walks as well as shorter more relaxed walks, depending on your dogs needs and temperament. I am a recent graduate so I have ALOT of free time. Therefore, my schedule is relatively flexible so we can choose a time for walks or stays that suite you! I ensure to keep the dogs in my care on leads until we have a good enough bond that I can trust them to return to me after a run around. I am happy to work with you to ensure your dog has the best possible experience with me; if you inform me as to any likes/dislikes or special requirements of your pup, I'm happy for us to work together in order to for you to revive the best possible service.

“Mira and Hattie have loved Sophie staying. They have been well cuddled,walked and taken care of. Thanks Sophie for being a wonderful dog sitter.”
