House Sitting in South Derbyshire

“Fantastic service from McKenzie, she was absolutely brilliant, left no stone unturned, fed, walked, played with the dogs who loved her! Will use again!”

“Helen made us feel very at ease and the dogs instantly loved her. She arrived early and did a great job of looking after our dogs and home. Would definitely recommend and will be calling her again next time we go away.”

“Alice was absolutely wonderful house-sitting with our 12 week old cockapoo puppy. She listened and took careful note of all our instructions, gave us lovely updates throughout the day and a really detailed handover afterwards with so much information in it. She really went above and beyond and given how tired our Winnie is now, I think she had a lot of fun!”

About: I have always had a variety of animals from scaly to furries so I feel confident caring for all kinds of pets. I can confidently give medication and offer all kinds of pet care from feeding, cleaning and taking for a walk. I have cared for animals that have been hospitalised at the vets, pet sitting for friends/family and currently I work at a cattery when I’m not at university. I really enjoy working with animals which is why I am pursuing a career in animal conservation. I work part time mainly in the mornings so my availability will be from mid day during most week day and all day on weekends. I offer all essential pet care and any extras owners require in their home. I do most of the pet care when back from university with my own pets. I feed, clean out, groom and walk all my pets which varies from my corn snake, fish, chickens, cats and dogs.

“Rachel looked after my 2 fur babies for 10 nights and everything was perfect. Everyday she was on time, made sure to change their water, food and litter. Will be using her again.”

“I cannot recommend Ellie enough! Ellie is a very loving dog owner and cares for her pets at all hours of the day. Having two dogs and a horse, she is very experienced with caring for dogs and shows them more than enough love. She makes her dogs feel welcomed, safe, happy and comfortable. Her house accommodates for a lot of space for dogs and a medium-sized garden for them to play in and walking them in the beautiful woodlands nearby as many times as required. If you're looking for someone to treat your pet as their own family, then Ellie is your person!”

Thank you Emily!”

About: I may be new to this website but I’m not new to pet sitting. I really love animals and have over three decades of experience for looking after pets and also owning some myself too over the years. I have looked after and walked friends, clients and families dogs over the years and also looked after cats too. I lost my own little dog to cancer a few years ago and so being able to get my dog fix via walking and house sitting little dogs is great. I work for myself part time and can work from anywhere and be flexible around your pets needs. I’m looking to give lots of cuddles and love to your furbabies and help you out with a walk for your little ones or a dog sit stay. My goal is to make sure your pets feel loved and comfortable while you're away, ensuring they have just as enjoyable a vacation as you do. Before any pet sit, I always prefer to meet with you and your pets in person if possible. However, if time or distance doesn't allow, a Zoom call works just as well. This helps me ensure that I’m a good fit for your pets, and you feel confident and comfortable leaving them in my care. Your peace of mind is my priority, and I’m more than happy to provide daily updates, including photos and videos via WhatsApp or any method you prefer. I’m also happy to commute for house sits, making sure your pets receive the best care no matter where you are. A typical day in my care is all about ensuring the well-being and happiness of your fur babies I look after. Here's what you can expect: Morning Routine: We start the day with a morning walk or playtime in the yard to stretch their legs and get some fresh air. Feeding: I follow their regular feeding schedule, serving meals based on your instructions and dietary requirements. Activities and Play: Dogs thrive on interaction, so we engage in fun activities like fetch, tug-of-war, and interactive toys. I also offer plenty of cuddle time for those dogs who prefer it. Outdoor Adventures: If there are special places you prefer for walks or if your dog has a favorite park, we'll head there for some exciting exploration. Otherwise, we'll explore nearby parks and trails, keeping safety a top priority. Rest and Relaxation: After our outdoor adventures, I make sure there's time for rest and relaxation on a comfortable place to take a nap or simply unwind. Socialization: If your dog enjoys the company of other dogs and it's safe to do so, I can look ant arranging a play date with other friendly dogs that your dog is known too and ensure they have a great social experience. Evening Routine: We wind down the day with another walk and play session before dinner. Nighttime Comfort: Dogs have their own cozy space to sleep, (or if they are used to sleeping on the bed, I’m happy to have them on the bed sleeping to and ensure they rest soundly through the night. Throughout the day, I prioritize your dog's safety, happiness, and comfort, adapting activities to their preferences and energy levels. If there are specific places you'd like them to visit or particular activities they enjoy, I'm more than happy to accommodate those preferences to make their stay enjoyable and memorable. I don’t tend to leave your fur babies, other than food shopping. So if you have an anxious or nervous dog, rest assured they will not be left alone for any length of time other than when I go to but groceries. Please feel free to contact me as for house sits I will consider travelling across the UK. I’m currently working part time for myself which allows me lots of time and flexibility to prioritise your pets needs and requirements. I am very flexible, so send me a message and let’s see how I can help you out 😀 I ensure that I am made fully aware of everything in a pet owners home prior to taking on a pet sit, I like to know everything from pet sleeping preferences, best local walks to take the little ones
