About: I have been house-sitting full-time on Trusted House Sitters (with my partner Asha) since the beginning of this year with all 5-star reviews. Plus, I have looked after all sorts of dogs and cats through friends and family since a young teen! We are freelance musicians who work from home, apart from the occasional gig! We living by house sitting so we have found a way to make this our job! I am a patient and caring animal carer! I enjoy long walks with my dogs and couch cuddles with my cats. I am experienced in elaborate feeding routines and handling medication, and am confident in handling and walking. What your pet needs is the number one priority, so however they need to be cared for, that is how it will be done!
About: I have a Collie and a Goldendoodle. I also had three cats and a senior Goldendoodle with arthritis. I have missed being with animals too much so here I am. I have 18 years experience working with animals and owned and ran a doggy day care and dog walking business for 7 years before selling up to relocate here. I am very fortunate that working with animals is my profession. That allows me to be very flexible and I can accommodate most requests with enough notice. I have a safe enclosed garden and the village I live in has a dedicated dog exercise field. I also live within 10 minutes of gorgeous beaches and forest walks.
“So happy with the dog walking service provided by Alex. He has been very flexible when it comes to availability at short notice and arrival times etc. We have a large, powerful husky but that didn’t phase him at all. He is very friendly and reassuring and our dog seemed to really enjoy going out for walks with him. He would send me a message when he was on his way to us and send photos of her, while they were out. I will definitely be booking him in the future and would certainly recommend him to others 🙂 Thanks Alex 👍”

About: I've grown up with a variety of pets my whole life and have always been an immense animal lover! Because of this, I am often relied on by friends and family to look after their fur-babies whilst they are away and also have lots of experience house-sitting. I'm at my happiest when I'm around dogs and animals and giving them the love and attention they deserve. I own my own home so I'm therefore very responsible and respectful of whoever's home I'm staying in. I will be sure to follow your instructions regarding pet care and certain things around the house. I currently work full-time Monday to Friday so I would be available to look after your pup(s) from late afternoon on Friday until Sunday evening (or early Monday morning). On some occasions if need be, it may be possible for me to work remotely from your home (if WiFi permits and dependant on your facilities but I would need plenty of notice for this). Over the weekend I will be on hand every couple of hours to give your fur-babies my undivided attention, walkies and play time! I would also be available to pop in for checks and short walks during weekday evenings as well. I have a handsome miniature dachshund who keeps me company while I work from home during the week. I have a fenced and secure garden and have a car seat cover that covers the entire back seat meaning we can go further afield for walks as where we live has lots to offer on our doorstep for a variety of walks and terrain. We tend to go on two walks a day and perhaps a longer, more adventurous one on the weekends.
About: As an avid animal lover with a diverse range of caregiving experience, I've had the privilege of caring for creatures big and small, from tiny rodents to majestic horses. Recognizing that your pets are more than just animals—they're cherished members of your family—I prioritize building a deep level of trust. I stand out as a sitter due to my commitment to open and transparent communication. I understand that entrusting someone with the care of your fur babies requires confidence and reassurance. I make it a priority to keep you informed about your pets' well-being, routines, and any special needs they may have. In addition to my passion for general pet care, I bring specific skills to the table, such as the ability to train puppies and provide dedicated senior care. Whether it's guiding a young pup through essential training or offering gentle support and attention to your older pets, I am equipped to meet a variety of needs. Your peace of mind is my utmost priority, and I am dedicated to making the entire process as seamless as possible for you. I approach pet sitting not just as a responsibility but as an opportunity to create a positive and enjoyable experience for both you and your beloved animals. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into the fabric of my daily and weekly routine, as I am currently dedicating 100% of my time to being at home. My life revolves around the well-being of my beloved fur babies, and I take pride in providing them with the utmost care and attention. To further underscore my commitment to pet care, I have undertaken first aid courses and earned a diploma in animal care. These qualifications not only enhance my confidence but also ensure that I am well-prepared to handle any situation that may arise, prioritizing the safety and health of your pets. Being at home full-time allows me to maintain a consistent and attentive presence for your animals. From regular dog walks to creating a nurturing environment, I am dedicated to meeting the unique needs of each pet under my care. In essence, pet care isn't just a task for me; it's a passion and a priority that I integrate seamlessly into my daily life. Your fur babies will receive the attention, love, and expertise they deserve, creating a comfortable and enjoyable experience for them in my care. In caring for pets, I prioritize creating a comfortable and secure environment tailored to their needs, whether it's in my home or the pet owner's residence. If preferred, I have two crates available, ensuring a cozy and familiar space for those who feel more secure in enclosed areas. However, I'm equally delighted to provide a 'roam free' experience within my home, allowing pets to explore and feel at ease. To accommodate various comfort levels, especially for pets who may not be confident with stairs, I've installed a gate to ensure their safety. Additionally, my fenced-in garden, featuring a mix of concrete and green spaces, offers a secure outdoor area for play and relaxation. For those who enjoy longer walks and more open spaces, there are local fields nearby where we can enjoy outdoor activities and exercise. My approach is flexible, adapting to the unique preferences and needs of each pet. Whether it's creating a secure, designated space or allowing them to explore freely, my goal is to provide a nurturing and enjoyable environment for pets under my care.
About: From looking after multiple dogs, house sitting and using rover to find my doggo Lennie a place to stay when I go away - Rover is brilliant! I have always had dogs, and trained Lennie along with some of his doggo friends. I would love to be able to care for more doggos! I have had multiple dogs stay before and had a great time. I currently have flexibility, whether that’s needing a house dog sitter or walks Monday - Sunday. Lennie can join for walks or I can walk your dog separately. Lennie also doesn’t have to come for overnight stays if preferred no other dog to be there. I am good at noticing dogs behaviours, and having Lennie the place is set up for dogs! All food far away from access, tons of water bowls and fenced garden. Lennie is very good with other dogs in the house, and if I noticed a doggo feeling anxious or unwell I would straight away notify and make sure they are as comfortable as they can be.
About: My experience with just dealing with pets is having my own animals from young. I've had fish, hamster, guinea pigs and dogs. My first dog was a rescued Boxer, Ruben. My first proper puppy was a Pug, Dexter, then we rescued Alfie another Pug at the same age as Dexter (around 4yrs.) My house sitting and pet experience was living in an annexe above my landladys garage. She had a working cocker, Zeva. She'd trust me with looking after her house and Zeva while she had to go away for work or on holiday. That was over 2yrs of me living there. I even took Zeva away with my boyfriend and I as we went to Bournemouth for a weekend I was looking after her. We got a pet friendly accomodation and she had the best time on the beach and in the sea playing with her ball. I work 3 days a week, so have plenty of time for sitting and walking pets. I like to walk daily, so dog walking is well suited with my lifestyle. I care for pets in an owners home by communicating with the owners in the first instance to see what responsibilities they expect of their sitter to make sure their animals are in perfect care.
About: Taken care of dogs my whole life; I am now I’m a Police Officer aspiring to become a Police Dog Handler. The combination of my caring and responsible nature with my passion for dogs makes me a good choice for taking your dog. I work on a rolling shift pattern working 4 days on & 4 days off a week. I therefore have lots of free time, just have to organise in advance:) I would take care of your pet at all times when it is in my care. I don’t will aim to have all vet details incase of emergencies and u will always be available to get in contact with.
