House Sitting Sedgemoor

About: Hi! I’m Holly, an early 30s cat obsessed Architect based in North Petherton. Having grown up in rural Cornwall surrounded by animals, I settled in Kent in 2011 before returning to the south west in 2024. Cats are one of nature’s greatest gifts, and their perception of both human emotions and their own surroundings are unrivalled. Whether large or small, from Tigers to Munchkins, all cats are fantastic beings that deserve the best care. I have a range of experience in looking after these majestic creatures, some with complex medical needs and others who simply tolerate the presence of us mere humans. I’m able to assess the mood of various cats and treat them accordingly, ensuring that their boundaries are respected and allowing them to both feel loved and continue their daily routine in their own home whilst you are away. Understanding the needs of different breeds also creates bespoke interactions and unrivalled care.

“Maya was excellent, I was so lucky as Maya works at Bertie’s vets so already knew what a little diva he can be. So lucky that she was free to look after Bert, it’s a nicer experience for him to have people he knows come visit him! Thanks again Maya ❤️”

“This was our first time leaving our three dogs with Macy, and she did an absolutely brilliant job. They are all very different in breed, size, personality and temperament, but she handled everything calmly and confidently. She followed their feeding and medication instructions carefully and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout the day. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs and a calm house. We would highly recommend Macy for dog and house sitting and will definitely be booking her again.”

“Pickle was so pleased to see Cherie, He had a great time, walked throughout the day and had fun in the doggie field, Cherie was very professional looking after Pickle, He sat by the door for a while when Cherie left, and slept loads from being worn out, I would recommend Cherie to anyone and have booked her again already.”

“Lauren looked after our dog Teddy for a morning as he struggles with separation anxiety. We contacted Lauren and arranged a meet and greet and booked her in straight away! We knew from the meet and greet that she would be a perfect fit to look after Teddy, she is so lovely and made us feel completely at ease from the get go! We felt comfortable in her staying at our house and knew Teddy would be looked after☺️ we came home to a very happy boy and won’t hesitate in booking Lauren again!!”

“Really happy with Grace and Rhodri, was able to enjoy my wedding knowing our dogs were safe and happy. They sent regular updates and photos, the girls seemed super happy, and the house was left clean and tidy. Will definitely use again if needed, highly recommend”

“We had a wonderful experience with Rowena looking after our dogs. She was calm, friendly and clearly loves animals, and our dogs took to her straight away. She sent us plenty of updates and photos while we were away, which was so reassuring and allowed us to relax knowing they were happy and well cared for. It was such a comfort knowing they were in safe and caring hands. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Rowena again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

“Basset Hounds are not everyone’s cup of tea - bit smelly, stubborn, lots of sniffing on walks, despite them being very sociable and great characters. It takes the right kind of person to tolerate their foibles, especially an older one who is a bit set in her ways! Tamara did a great job looking after Molly and had all the right attributes needed for the unique Basset Hound experience. It helped that she had looked after one previously which given I had no prior knowledge of her, gave me some reassurance that she knew what she was getting into! She was attentive to Molly’s needs, patient and clearly very caring about dogs. Thanks Tamara for looking after Molly so well for me.”

Jill L.

“Couldn’t ask for more - super efficient with initial comms & timings, kept me up to date while away & Millie was well looked after & happy - highly recommend - thanks Danielle 👌🏻”

Dominic B.

“Paula is a wonderful sitter. It’s very clear she has a deep love for dogs, has a lovely calming persona, and my excitable pup absolutely adored her.”

Hannah K.

“I’m so grateful for Jess, being able to sit last minute! Jess is so kind & thoughtful when looking after Bertie, I know I don’t have to worry because he’s being so looked after Bertie also LOVES her, as soon as I arrived he was no longer interested in me 🤣 Thanks again Jess!”

Kirsty T.

“Thank you Danielle for looking after Gracie so well, for leaving the house clean and tidy and watering my tomatoes! It was good to meet you and I hope we’ll see you again.”

I also care for small pets such as guinea pigs, rabbits and hamsters. I’m a teacher so am available from late Friday afternoons until Sunday evenings. I have weekend availability to be able to spend looking after your pets. I can sit at your home but cannot offer boarding at my house due to family. I love spending time with animals and can dedicate the whole time to playing, walking, relaxing and getting to know your pets.

I have the ability to work from home so I can be there all day, I am very active myself so I can do multiple walks a day. I am a big believer of leaving where you arrived as it was or better than how you find it, when staying at your house caring for your four legged friends I follow the rules you set and care for your house and pets as if it were my own.

“Christopher was an excellent house and dog sitter. He was very professional, proactive on letting us know how our dog Maia was doing. He took her out for many walks and gave us updates on each one. When we got back Maia was extremely happy and comfortable. He was respectful with our rules with her and could tell she was very well taken care of. Christopher also left our place immaculate condition. Would recommend him anytime and will be our go to guy. It’s always hard leaving your dog with someone but Im happy we left her Christopher.”

Will also be observed when he/she is been taken care of, including basic health checks to ensure they are in a good condition to be exercised. I have always had cats in my life and I I offer a caring service that is individually suited to your pet. I have volunteered at a dog's home in San Diego working with dogs that had certain issues arising from neglect, and have also volunteered at Abbotsleigh. I have looked after many animals for friends and have always had very good feedback and recommendations. Distinction* in level 3 animal management so I am well informed on the legislative and legal aspects of pet sitting, and am in the process of applying for insurance.

About: Hi everyone! I have been providing dog walking and house-sitting services for friends and colleagues over the years, and I now have some extra free time and would like to offer my services to more dog owners. I have experience looking after both small and large breeds. Having lived in South Africa, I am very comfortable around larger, more active dogs. I also recently welcomed a Cockerlier called Chloe into my family, so I am equally happy looking after smaller dogs. I am happy to adapt to your dog’s individual needs and to follow the commands, routines and instructions you already use with your pet. I can also help reinforce basic training and teach simple tricks. For more active dogs, I am happy to provide longer walks or even a steady jog if that is what your dog needs. I am based in Taunton but can travel further afield. I am also regularly available around Exeter, where my partner lives. I can offer dog walking on some weekdays and am available for house sitting during most school holidays. If you are looking for someone reliable, active and caring to walk or look after your dog, please feel free to get in touch. Even if you are unsure whether I can cover your area or accommodate your needs, just ask! I am free most school holidays. This is when I'm most likely to be free to help with your pet care needs. Feel free to contact me to check availability especially if you are based in Taunton I am a part-time teacher, so I have some free mornings and afternoons during the week. I am also available for most school holidays and can be quite flexible, so please feel free to get in touch to discuss what you need.
