House Sitting Scole

“Allana looked after our dogs for the first time recently. Allana had arranged to meet the dogs & us beforehand to ensure we were all happy. On the day, Allana was very punctual & our dogs were happy to see her. She sent lots of photos throughout the day, they looked like they were having great fun & reassuring for us! They both slept all evening so they must have had lots of fun playing! They loved her!! Will definitely use Allana again & recommend. 😀”

“Emma house sat for our GSD puppy while we were away for a few days. She was an excellent sitter and I can thoroughly recommend her. She’s clearly great with dogs and kept our GSD in his training schedule while we were away. She sent pictures every day so we could keep up with what what was going on back home. Great sitter!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 5 years, including looking after dogs for friends, family and neighbours. I have my own West Highland Terrier, Bentley, so I’m very familiar with the daily care, attention and responsibility that comes with owning a dog. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing with and keeping dogs company, and I always make sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your dogs. I’m available during weekdays and occasional weekends for boarding, visits and walks. I’ll always make sure your dog is safe, comfortable and well cared for. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks and any specific instructions you provide. I’ll make sure they have access to fresh water, plenty of attention and exercise, while keeping them supervised and away from anything unsafe. When visiting your home, I’ll also treat it with the same care and respect I would my own.

“Danielle was absolutely amazing looking after our Frenchie, Buster, while we had to rush our other Frenchie,Remi to the emergency hospital. It was a very stressful time for us, but knowing Buster was in such caring hands gave us real peace of mind. She was incredibly friendly, kind, and patient, making sure Buster felt calm, comfortable, and relaxed throughout her stay. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and treated him like one of her own. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter during such a difficult situation. Many thanks Danielle 🐾 🐾”

About: Whether it's 4 days, or 4 months, your pets deserve to feel safe and loved. When with them, they are my number 1 priority 💖 What once started as a fun hobby, turned into something I realised I'm actually really good at, and could make a living from! 5 years ago I started volunteering to walk dogs via BorrowMyDoggy, in London, then it became looking after dogs and cats in their homes. Then I moved out of London, to Norfolk, and found a wonderful community built on trust and friendliness. I made friends and naturally offered to look after their pets when they're away. My big realisation happened when I did a house/pet sit for, in total, near on FOUR MONTHS. It was two dogs (Cockapoo & Beagle-Pitbull), and two cats, with one cat being poorly, which was a steep learning curve for me. I made friends with the client's dog walker, Paula (of Paula's Pawsome Dog Park!), who asked me if this is something I'd consider doing again, and so got me thinking. I then went on to do my first sit through her for a sweet old Basset Hound, Pippa, and a cute cat, Blossom. Then two weeks for Hamish & Mollie, both Romanian rescues, who enjoyed our evening walks! Then one day with Marley the cocker spaniel, while his parents attended a wedding. The next month was a back to back week of Perrie & Bailey Cockapoo Mum & Son full of big adventurous walks in the forest and splashing in ponds, then a very different week with elderly Zippy & Narla. I view animals like people, they have their own quirks and preferences, and I always feel honoured to be able to share their space and be part of their lives, even for just a couple days, I am always so grateful. I'm currently working part-time at a pub in Attleborough, and dabble in hypnotherapy and tarot reading. I do like to get out and explore, however, when I am with your pets, I dedicate as much time as possible with them. I find being with animals so much fun, so it's something I look forward to doing. Before looking after your pets, I make sure we have discussed and shared anything that I need to know to ensure your pets are safe and well looked after.

“Lucy looked after my Border Terrier for the day. They hit it off straight away, played in the garden and went on several walks. Lucy is a very nice person I would not hesitate to recommend her. Excellent communication, she answered all my questions during the booking very quickly. Booking through Rover was easy, with plenty of advice on the procedure.”

“Annie is an absolutely gold find! She looked after our elderly dog Pepper like she was her own. Taking care of her needs in the heat, her special diet and her meds all with care and consideration. We will be using Annie again and again. What a find! Would highly recommend 🙌”

“I can’t say enough great things about Tamara. From the moment we met, it was clear she genuinely loves animals. She followed all my dog’s routines, gave them so much attention, and sent regular updates that made me feel completely reassured. I returned to a clean home and very happy dogs. Tamara goes above and beyond, she’s truly exceptional! Will definitely be recommending Tamara to our friends and booking with her again! Thank you Tamara.”

“Skye did an overnight cat sit with our cat Lilith for one night. Skye was communicative, sent photo updates and followed all instructions very well. I would recommend Skye for catsitting and would definitely rebook again. Thank you Skye!”

Jodie B.

“Paula was so very kind and caring towards our cat and helped very much even when he was unwell. She kept in touch and sent pictures and videos of him. We were so grateful to have her here with him for peace of mind. She even cleaned the house before leaving which was so thoughtful. We will definitely use her again in the future.”

“Julie house sat for us while we were gone for 4 days. She was able to manage both of our high energy dogs on daily walks and made an effort to stick to their normal routine. I would recommend her for anybody looking for pet care and will definitely use her again when we go out of town!”

Brittany R.

“Caramel was lovingly looked after by Jasmine and the two of them got on so well. I know this because Caramel was calm and happy when I got back to the house. Jasmine followed all the instructions for administering her meds and meals and the all important walks 3 times a day. I would happily recommend Jasmine as someone trustworthy & who just loves animals.”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with family dogs and was lucky enough to own a lovely Spaniel myself, so I understand just how much our pets mean to us. I also have spent eight years working alongside working dogs in the Civil Service, which gave me great experience around dogs with different personalities, needs, and routines. Above all, I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending time with them. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply having company throughout the day, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday to Friday and have the flexibility of working from home on certain days. However, when I agree to look after your dog, I will ensure that I am not working so that I can give them the time, attention, and care they deserve. I enjoy being active and love going on long walks, so your dog will have plenty of opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and outdoor adventures. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely enjoy time outdoors, and I live just a 5-minute walk from a large open playing field, perfect for walks, exercise, and playtime. I take great pride in caring not only for dogs but also in maintaining a clean, safe, and welcoming home environment.

About: I’ve had my own dog for five wonderful years, and he truly opened my heart to all living creatures. We trained him ourselves from a puppy, and he has amazing recall and lovely manners. That experience taught me patience, consistency, and how important trust is with dogs. I regularly look after friends’ dogs of all sizes, small, medium, and large and I’m confident handling different temperaments and energy levels. I provide daily walks once or twice a day, sometimes including a run for more active dogs, and longer walks at the weekend for extra adventure and stimulation. Your dog would be cared for as if they were my own, with attention, affection, and plenty of exercise. 🐾 As I work from home, dogs in my care are rarely left alone and always have company throughout the day. I tailor walks to each dog’s needs, offering one or two walks daily depending on their routine and energy levels. There are always plenty of cuddles, attention and gentle supervision.. 🐾 Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. In my home, I provide a calm, secure and loving environment where dogs are treated as part of the family. I take time to understand each dog’s routine, preferences and any special requirements so they feel settled and comfortable. I maintain consistent boundaries, supervise interactions, and ensure doors and outdoor spaces are secure at all times. Walks are carried out safely, with close attention to surroundings and other dogs. I only allow off-lead time where recall is reliable and agreed with the owner.🐾

“Jade took great care of our dog’s needs when we were away on holiday. She did everything she could to make sure he was happy and sent us regular pup dates.”

About: • I'm an experienced live-in dog and house sitter who offers calm, consistent care, particularly for nervous, sensitive or rescue dogs who need patience and reassurance while their owners are away. • I've gained my experience through many successful house and pet sits, both independently and through TrustedHousesitters (where owners have consistently left excellent reviews). • Some dogs make friends straight away. Others need a little more time. I enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual and helping them feel safe, comfortable and settled while you're away. • I work online (part-time), so I can fit around your dog's routine and spend much of the day at home. This is ideal for dogs who are used to having company or who need a little longer to settle. • I love being outdoors and usually walk twice a day myself. Whether your dog enjoys long adventures or prefers a gentle sniff around the neighbourhood, I'm happy to adapt to whatever suits them best. • I always stick as closely as possible to your dog's normal routine, whether that's favourite walking routes, regular mealtimes or simply having a cuddle on the sofa. • I'm based in Colchester and regularly travel throughout London and the South East, with availability across the UK for longer bookings. • I've completed Canine First Aid training and I'm continuing to learn more about canine behaviour and body language because I genuinely enjoy understanding what makes each dog tick. • One of the reasons I started house and pet sitting is that my own rescue dog had such a lasting impact on me. She taught me the value of patience and consistency. After she died, I wasn't ready for another dog of my own, and looking after other people's dogs became a way to stay connected to the animals I love. • I know it's hard leaving your dog with someone new. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your trip, and I'll always ask how often you'd like to hear from me. * I work online, so I can fit around your dog's routine and spend much of the day at home with them. * Morning walks, longer afternoon adventures or evening strolls, I can easily adapt to whatever routine your dog is used to. * I try to keep life as familiar as possible while you're away, so I do my best to follow your dog's usual routine for walks, meals, playtime and downtime. * I offer live-in dog and house sitting for overnight stays, weekends, holidays and longer bookings throughout the year. * Before a sit, I like to arrange a quick video call so we can chat through your dog's routine and make sure you feel completely comfortable before you head away. * Before each sit, I take the time to understand your dog's usual routine, from walks and mealtimes to favourite sleeping spots and the little things that help them feel settled. * I work online part-time, so I'm able to spend much of the day at home, providing companionship and helping your dog settle into their usual routine. * I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages while you're away. I'll also ask how often you'd like to hear from me, so you can choose the level of contact that feels right for you. * I genuinely enjoy looking after people's homes and take pride in treating every property with the same care and respect I would my own. I see myself as a temporary guardian of your home as well as your dog, and I always leave everything exactly as I found it.
