House Sitting in South Somerset

“Vicki was so lovely with our dogs and I knew they would be in safe hands. Our girls are elderly and Smudge wasn’t very well while we were away but Vicki took care of her and kept me updated so we weren’t worried. She was so flexible, staying on later so that the dogs were all right while we made a late return journey. Thank you so much.”

“Ruby was amazing with Jet kept us updated with messages and photos,we was delayed on the last day rugby' was willing to stay longer so Jet wouldn't be left on her own for very long until we got home, also left a report card for us that was very reassuring we will definitely book Ruby again.”

“Huge thanks to Tianna for looking after our fur babies! She has a wealth of experience. She was able to provide all the love and care they needed, administer medication and handle a few unexpected bumps in the road with ease and no fuss. We also came back to a wonderfully clean house. Big big thank you x”

“Fabulous. Fiona was absolutely brilliant looking after Byron.He was really spoilt and we believe really enjoyed his time with Fiona. We were spoiled as well receiving daily updates and photos. Can’t thank here enough”

“Imogen has cared for our two collies and our cat several times. They all adore her, and she has great empathy with them all! She loves to walk them, and look after them, but loves best of all to just hang out with them. I thoroughly recommend Imogen as a house and pet sitter to any animal lovers wanting a safe and loving stand-in while they get away for a while.”

“Jennie and Glen took care of our dog and cat. They were honest, reliable, caring people who obviously love animals. One of our dogs needed regular medication which they dealt with very professionally. I would highly recommend them.”

“Literally cannot thank you enough. To be able to leave my entire world in the hands of another, and not have to worry about their safety, happiness and well-being, is a thing I cannot possibly put a price on. Incredible timing and punctuality, outstanding communication before, during and after, and thoroughly content fur babies to come home to. Instructions followed to the letter, and my house was left clean and tidy, and I will absolutely be asking you to house sit for me again. As I said earlier, you are always welcome - whether I’m here or not! Thank you so so much xx”

About: I have lived with dogs since age 7, when my family brought home a German shepherd/husky mix from the local rescue centre. Since then, I have had my own 3 dogs to welcome into my home and family. I have two senior rescue pugs, who can no longer go on regular walks due to mobility issues. I recently had to say goodbye to my rescue Bulldog/Frenchie, after he passed away and i miss him dearly. Rocky adored going for walks and I miss getting fresh air and clearing my mind whilst being out. I always felt so much better for it and I am now ready to help others to take care of their pets when they are unable to. I understand how busy life can be and have felt the stress and worry when trying to fit in a daily walk when working. I have experience with dogs with behavioural issues, age ranges of puppy to senior and happy to keep dogs onload and away from others if they are not dog friendly. I am reliable, caring, responsible and have a whole lot of love to give to your 4 legged (or 3 legged if disabled) dogs. I am looking forward to becoming their new best friend , who they will look forward to seeing for their walkies. I have my own transport (7 seater to accomodate the larger animal!) and would always like to come meet the dog and parents beforehand, to make sure you know I'm a good fit! I work from 8-3.30 in school term time. Available most evenings and every weekend I have availability, if pre planned for your needs. I enjoy beach trips and this can also be available for your dog if you should like them to go on an adventure. Even willing to bathe if sandy! If your dog likes playing football with children, no problem! I can arrange for my two sons to come along to play a game or to throw constant tennis balls! I know exactly what it's like, entrusting someone else with a family pet. I have had to use kennels before for my animals on trips away and always felt on edge that they were properly taking care of my "babies". I am willing to facetime parents to check in, send videos and photos or whatever else would put the person at ease, whilst I am taking care of your pet. I have also been looking into pet first aid and know how to perform dog CPR.

“Many thanks to Vanessa for being here for Roma while I had a much needed break away. Roma took to Vanessa immediately and clearly felt very much at ease with her. I received several reassuring updates during my time away and on my return found a contented Roma and my home left in immaculate condition as I left it. Vanessa was also supportive of my current situation as primary carer of my husband and prepared to be flexible around the arrangements for Roma's care. I hope very much to be able to avail myself of Vanessa's services again when I book another break away. Many thanks indeed.”

“Fantastic with the animals, gave regular updates and even washed the bedding. Will be using again :)”

“Emily kept us updated throughout her sit and was sure to send us photos of our fur babies frequently. We came back to a wonderfully clean home, well watered garden (it was very hot during her stay) and she even left us a small welcome home gift. Would recommend to anyone in need of help with their pets.”

“Amanda is MAD about animals! They always come first! She is punctual, reliable and extremely caring! We have a dog together which is very high maintenance, but she is always focused to make sure she is groomed, fed the best food and on time each day, keeping an eye on her bathroom habits, long walks, lots of play time and but most importantly knows how to show the dog whose top dog. If you're wanting someone who loves your dog as much as you then Amanda is the one.”

“Jessica looked after Poppy and Penny in my home and I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. My dogs and home were well looked after, I received regular updates and Penny even looked very sad when Jess left. Nothing was too much trouble for her and I felt comfortable going away with work with no worry! The night I got home both girls were exhausted and I’m sure they can’t wait for her to stay and mind them again!”

“I have trusted Elicia to look after my dogs , cats, horses and small fluffies are few times and she has always done a great job ! She’s always turned up on time and been more than helpful, she is trustworthy and will always try to help you out in any way she can. I highly recommend Elicia”

“Wonderful sitter. Great contact and professionalism but also so friendly giving all the confidence you need when leaving fur babies overnight! Highly recommend”

“I'd recommend Claire as a dog sitter. We went on holiday for ten days and she made Buddy, our Border Collie, a lovely part of her family while we were away. Putting up with his excited barking on car trips. Having lovely walks at Ham Hill, Sampsons Wood and bridal paths. Would defintely use again!”

“A massive, massive thanks to Becky for taking care of our lil pup, Madi. Madi was recovering from spay surgery and we did not want to leave her home alone when we went out. Becky was quick to reply easy to communicate with, and showed up on time and ready to go. Madi instantly took to her, and we knew she would be in good hands. When we came home, they were snuggled on the couch, and Madi was relaxed and calm. Thank you, Becky!!!”

“Mia was a wonderful dog sitter and took great care of my two pups! She was so punctual and had great communication and sent lots of photos and updates about their stay with her. She was super easy to talk to and arrange plans with and the dogs clearly adored her! I couldn’t recommend her more if you’re needing a dog sitter :)”

“I have known saphron for many years. She is kind and compassionate to people and animals. Saphron regularly looks after my dogs if I am away or on holiday and it’s so nice not having to worry about them and knowing they are having the best time. Anybody would be lucky to have someone as caring as saph to take care of their animals:”

“A very friendly and trustworthy individual. Couldn’t ask for anyone better when it comes to caring for my dog. She takes the time to get to know your dog, including what they do/don’t like. Favier can care for my dog any time!”
