“Macy took such good care of our little chap I think he misses her. The whole family were welcoming and some enjoyed walks and playtime too. This is obviously a dog loving household. Communication was great and we had lots of pictures and videos clearly showing a very smiley and happy dog. If there was anything that Macy was unsure of she contacted us directly which we appreciated. We would not hesitate to ask Macy to care for our very energetic little terrier again as we know he had an amazing time. Thank you Macy for looking after him as if he were your own.”
“Charlie was very well looked after by Fraser and his wife. She was settled and happy and she appeared to have made herself very much at home and from the photos, enjoyed herself thoroughly. I would definitely recommend using Fraser and we will be booking again in the future. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our little girl.”
“Absolutely fantastic!! Such a lovely home and lovely family. Lucy couldn’t have been happier. We will definitely come back to see Victoria the next time we’re in the area. Thank you so much!!!”
“Skye was so happy with Joshua. Lots of lovely walks and videos of her having a marvellous time. Would highly recommend Joshua and Skye is already booked in for 2 more stays.”
“Magnus had a fantastic time staying with Annalie - we got frequent photo updates showing a very happy Staffy snuggled on the couch, playing, basking in the garden, and going on walks. Magnus would definitely stay with them again!”
“Our elderly cocker spaniel, Dylan was very well looked after by Rob and his family. Rob sent texts and photos of Dylan during our weekend away which was very reassuring. He was very well cared for and we can highly recommend Rob. We are booking again for a week away.”
“We were so pleased to find Zak, and him and Theo really seemed to get on right from the initial meeting. The consistent photos and messages we received from Zak while we were away really put us at ease, knowing that Theo was enjoying himself - spending most of his time snoozing from the sounds of it! We'll definitely be booking Theo in to stay with Zak again soon :)”
“Oscar has had a wonderful time with Holly and Benji he has come home absolutely shattered. If Oscar could talk i am sure he would tell us all about the great walks and fun he has had. Holly kept us updated with text and photos so we had no need to worry about Oscars first ever stay away from home. A very positive experience for us all, will be looking to book with Holly again in the future.”
“Indi-ana just spent 3 weeks with Jane, it is her 2nd long stay with Jane and she loves it there. Jane is so wonderful. She takes Indi on amazing long adventurous walks and plays loads of activities with her at home to keep them active and interested. We could not ask for a better sitter for Indi-ana and we will always use Jane as our 1st choice sitter. Thank you again Jane. x Michelle and Wayne”
“Edita helped us at short notice and we are really grateful for looking after Scampi. Scampi had a wonderful time and was well looked after. We received updates during our time away which was reassuring. Thanks”
“Moose absolutely loved staying with Laura and Otto, he was very well looked after and had a great time playing, going on walks and cuddling! Received lots of wonderful videos of how happy he was all weekend. Couldn’t recommend Laura more!”
“We couldn't be happier with the care our dog, Bramble, received while we were away on holiday! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such capable and loving hands and that she’d have a playmate, gorgeous Buddy to hang out with too!! It was clear right away that Jo truly cares about the animals she looks after. Bramble was given plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles. We received updates on how she was doing with photos, which really put our minds at ease and let us enjoy our trip without any worry. When we returned, Bramble was relaxed and happy. It honestly felt more like she had a little holiday of her own! Would 100% recommend Jo to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and will definitely be booking again in the future. Thank you so much 😊”
“Very caring towards my senior dog. Excellent communication whilst on walks and sleeps. They really took extra care as Picasso has his additional needs and I am very grateful. Thank you I would highly recommend”
“Lee looked after Jesse our 6 month old puppy for his first night ever away from home and his first night without us. We met up beforehand and he gave Jesse the opportunity to explore his space and meet George. Lee was very responsive during Jesse's stay and sent videos and updates. Jesse slept on the floor of their bedroom and slept the whole night through and on picking him up Jesse was chilled and happy and wanted to stay longer! I couldn't have hoped for a better first experience for Jesse - thanks Lee.”
“For Winnie staying with Iris and Tom was like home from home. She was looked after like they’re own. Regular messages, photos and videos, to keep us updated. 100% would recommend Iris and Winnie will 100% be staying with Iris again. So Thank you guys. Xx”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old and have always had a genuine love for animals. Over the years I’ve looked after dogs for family, friends, and neighbours, and I also volunteered at a local animal shelter where I gained hands-on experience working with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and basic grooming such as bathing and brushing. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away, so I always aim to give them plenty of attention, patience, and affection. I’m reliable, responsible, and happy to follow any specific routines or instructions your dog is used to. Whether it’s a long walk, keeping them company during the day, or helping them burn off some energy, I’ll make sure they’re well looked after and happy. I work from home a lot and have a lot of weekends spare so have plenty of time to give attention to dogs! I have lots of patience and years of experience with family dogs! I have a fully fenced garden and live on a quiet estate, which provides a safe and calm environment for dogs. Your dog will have plenty of secure space to play, explore, and relax without any safety concerns. I always make sure pets are supervised and comfortable so owners can feel confident their dogs are in a safe and caring environment.
“"I cannot recommend Cherie enough! We were in a real bind and needed someone to look after our dog at very short notice, and Cherie stepped in to help without hesitation. She took such amazing care of our dog, treating him like one of her own. We were so appreciative of the regular updates and photos she sent throughout the stay, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. If you are looking for someone reliable, kind, and truly attentive, Cherie is the person to call. Highly recommended.”
“Andre has been absolutely amazing and so accommodating. Doug clearly had a fantastic time on his holiday and enjoyed playing with the other guests. Can't thank Andre enough who helped us out having been let down by someone else!”

“Emily was fantastic looking after our cat while we were away! Along with great caring for her, she played with her, gave her cuddles and sent us regular pictures and updates, giving us peace of mind our cat was both cared for and happy. We’ll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend.”
“Freya was brilliant doing drop ins for our cat while we were away. It was our first time leaving our cat and we were so nervous, but she put our minds completely at rest. She went above and beyond giving her lots of play time and cuddles on top of her care and lots of pictures for us too. We were so pleased! Will definitely be booking again and highly recommend.”
“Quick to respond, met before we booked her to have a chat and meet my babies. Took a really good care of both of my furry babies. Consistent with the visiting times. Paid attention to my cats behaviour, and informed me when something was wrong. Managed to fix my water fountain when it stopped pumping water😊 Very happy with the overall service.”
“Deima took care of my kitten Luna overnight and was wonderful. I came back to a clean flat and a happy kitty, and was updated while I was gone. Will definitely book again in the future :) ”
About: I have been around and owned cats since I was born, but only truly discovered my passion for animals at around 10 years old, this is when I offered to help neighbours, family and friends with their cats and dogs. Since then I’ve cared for and looked after cats persistently :)
“Kaitlin has been great, we received regular updates about how the cats were getting on during her daily visits. She kindly disposed of some unwanted gifts/offerings they left, and neither seem too annoyed with us that we went away!”
About: Hello there! I’m Frances, I am a friendly, experienced, mature and professional lady who loves and care for animals and always very sensitive to their needs! My experience is in taking care of: - Dogs, (young, old, playful, anxious, nervous, with lock down anxiety and who may be stubborn) - Cats of all ages and mischief - A variety of house plants, gardens & veggie patches. I am an experience trusted house and pet sitter and have been working both in the South West UK and internationally over the past 3 years. Over this time I have taken care of many adorable dogs and cats both in Australia and the UK. I have recently returned to the UK to live after living 20 years in Australia. I have chosen to continue house and pet sit as I love caring for animals and enjoy getting to know each and every one, treating them like my own. In addition I love to meet new people and explore new areas. I would dearly love to house and pet sit for you as I would offer your pets so much love, lots of cuddles, follow their daily routine, give lots of walks and play time and keep them safe. I will also take excellent care of your home and utilities including basic gardening including watering plants, mowing the lawn and weeding. I am interested in house sitting in the Somerset/ South West area of UK as this is where my family live and am available for sits of longer in duration from weeks to months. I am also available for weekend and midweek sits too. At previous housesits I have taken care of both dogs and cats in Wincanton, Exmouth, Bishops Lydeard and Glastonbury, Bristol, Somerset and Melbourne and surrounding areas. I am a qualified Art Therapist, Illustrator and Reiki Master and at one of my housesits I took care of two elderly siamese cats and as I was able to provide soothing energy healing to the cats which they loved!! As a keen walker, artist and photographer I will regularly send you photo updates of your adorable pets whilst you are away. Previously I have also worked as a live-in Nanny in America, I have supported children and adults with Art Therapy, have been a successful textile and carpet designer, along with loving working as a lecturer in Textile Design at University. I currently work as a self-employed therapist and illustrator so I am flexible with times and dates for bookings. This also means we can be adaptable to your pet’s daily activity. It would be wonderful to chat with you on line or by phone, to organise a ‘Meet and Greet’ to introduce myself to your pet whilst in your company which will enable them to get to know me. Then, consequently when the planned sit comes around they will be able to feel relaxed and at ease in my company. I can provide excellent references and testimonials on request. I look forward to hearing from you soon and am happy to answer any questions. For housesits, to ease the process I would like to know please: An overview of your pets general behaviour and habits, for example are they: Friendly with other dogs, animals? What’s their routine? Food they eat daily? Are they allowed on the furniture or restricted to certain areas in the house? Do your dogs walk off or on the lead? What makes them happy? How would they notify me that they need to go to the toilet? How long can they be left alone for? Are they an outside or inside cat? Their personality? It is important for me to know if they have any specific traits or issues, or Do they have any medical conditions and need medication? I also welcome discussing these with me prior to meeting either via message or over the phone. Can my clients to please write this necessary information as a note for me to have during the housesit. This will include for example your pets daily routines, their feeding amount and times and an emergency contact and vet details. Please see below a few of my 5 star review on my previous Trusted Housesitter website. Thank you for reading my profile and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Frances Gloria - Cirencester, United Kingdom - 5 Jun - 6 Jul 2022 Frances housesit with and took care of our son Ben the Labrador. Frances is very friendly trustworthy and wonderful house and pet sitter. Patsy - Wadebridge, United Kingdom - 1 - 16 May 2022 My first experience of using a Trusted House sitter and I was very pleased. Frances came to stay two days before I went away so got to bond with my cat and dog. The animals very relaxed and happy and Frances sent pictures and a message every other day about how they were getting on and what they were doing. The animals had a lovely time and Frances was very lovely with them and she said she was loving the area of North Cornwall and I would be very happy to ask Frances to sit again for me in the future. Lindsey - Lyme Regis, United Kingdom - 8 - 25 Apr 2022 Frances came a day earlier so that I could meet with her which was great. All seemed well in the house and with my dog. The house was clean. I was very happy to have her house sit for me for two weeks while I was away. Alison - Exmouth, United Kingdom - 4 Mar - 5 Apr 2022 From the initial contact to the actual housesit, everything went very smoothly with good communication. Frances was amenable to my suggestion that she should meet us a couple of weeks before the actual sit, & also coming 48 hours before we left so that she could really get to understand Tipi’s routine, favourite walks etc & the house. We had no issues whatsoever, she gained Tipi’s confidence & soon became a substitute for us. This was reinforced when we met her some 4 days later to return a key & he bounded up to her like a long lost friend - he is clearly very attached to her & we have asked Frances to housesit for us again. We have no hesitation in recommending her - Tipi is quite anxious & likes a fair amount of walking, but she was up to the job & both he & the house had definitely been well cared for. Grace - Glastonbury, United Kingdom - 11 - 13 Feb 2022 Frances was so easy to communicate with and very organised. She was lovely with Remus and left the house clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend her to others. Thank you Frances! Terry - Bishops Lydeard, United Kingdom - 4 - 11 Feb 2022 Frances, was a wonderful dog sitter, who looked after our dogs and house while we were away. Frances made us feel comfortable with regular communication which led us to enjoy our holiday knowing our dogs and house was safe in her hands. Greta - Melbourne, Victoria, Australia - 14 - 25 Jan 2022 Frances did a wonderful job of looking after our 3 pets and we were able to relax on holiday knowing that she would manage the house and pet routines. Frances kept us updated on the pets while we were away and were turned to a tidy house and happy pets. I'm currently working part-time online so I'll have plenty of time to walk, cuddle and play with your pets. I'm available for pet and housesitting during the week and weekends dependant on my calendar availability. I love caring for pets and enjoy getting to know each and every one, treating them like my own. In addition I love to meet new people and explore new areas. I would dearly love to house and pet sit for you as I would offer your pets so much love, lots of cuddles, follow their daily routine, give lots of walks and play time and with their safety of the highest priority.
About: I've taken care of dogs for about 8 years so since I was 10, I'm very good with them and friends and family have relied on me many times. Anytime tbh don't work at all and just looking for extra bit of cash, so book with me now and should respond within 30 minutes. I will keep an eye on the pets as much as possible, will make sure they go for walks and will take care in all of them.
“Superb service! Very accommodating and happy to help in whatever way she could, including doing a little extra couple of bits in the house for us. Kept us up to date each day when she’d visited and got pictures when she could. Would and shall use again.”
“So pleased with the service provided from Cherie today! The app is brilliant, I would say that after doing a long shift at work and leaving my house cat alone for that long always leaves me feeling uneasy but being new to the area, I couldn't ask anyone to just drop in. Trilby has been introduced to a new friend whilst I'm at work and its gone amazingly. The photo updates were very lovely and gave me piece of mind at work! Definitely worth doing again and has given me confidence to think re. Future plans about possibly having a house sitting booking 😊 thank you. She definitely got the attention that I would have expected. I have heard of some reviews where poeple go in and read a book whilst being paid....I was looking for more interaction with my house cat so I come home on a Monday evening with a less energetic kitty and that's what I had. 💕🤗 x”
“Molly looked after my 2 cats over Christmas, she was fab. Good communication and regular updates on how they were doing. They both seemed comfortable with her, which doesn’t happen often as they can be very shy with new people. Would recommend Molly to anyone and happily would use her again!”
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing! She immediately put us at ease during our meet and greet, and when she looked after my two cats they absolutely adored her! Jennifer sent us loads of pictures and updates, and was simply wonderful with my cats, who I'm sure miss her already 🐈”
About: I’ve house sat since I was 18 years old, from sheep to chickens, dogs, cats and horses; I’m very used to caring for all animals and their individual needs. I have a flexible working pattern so I am available to give your pets all the attention and care they require whilst you are away from home I care for the pets in my care as wished by the pet owner so that the pet can remain as happy and settled as possible.
About: I had a sprocker spaniel called Jasper for eight years, unfortunately he has passed due to cancer. I loved having him around but am no longer in a position to have a dog, so I do a lot of pet-sitting (as I always have done), as I love spending time in the outdoors and with animals. I have worked with many different dogs over the years and have learned so much about dog behaviour and their individual needs. Having owned a very energy rich spaniel I am really passionate about stimulating dogs and making sure they get lots of time in the outdoors to keep them happy and healthy. I also have had three cats in the family growing up and feel very comfortable and confident caring for them also. I really love to spend time with animals and it provides me with much needed down time from by busy degree working towards becoming a doctor. I am familiar walking with dogs that may have additional needs, such as if they are reactive or nervous, just let me know what works for them :) I am always free during the weekday evenings. I also am available on Wednesday afternoons. I often am around during the weekends also and can be flexible to your needs. My schedule changes weekly, so don’t hesitate to ask! I love giving my animals a good fuss, and will always be there for tummy rubs and cuddles if they are! Also through having my own animals I know how to keep them safe at all times. As a medical student I can be trusted and am responsible.
“Gemma was a fantastic cat sitter! She was easy to communicate with, always responsive, and very punctual. She was also really flexible with scheduling, which made everything stress-free. While I was away, she clearly spent quality time playing with my cat and made a real effort to keep her happy and comfortable. She also sent frequent updates with photos and videos, which was so reassuring and honestly just really nice to see! On top of that, she went above and beyond by helping clean the litter box (which I really appreciated 😂). It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I’d highly recommend Gemma to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring cat sitter!”
“So happy to have found Alannya at short notice to look after our GSDx Bear. We got loads of photo updates, communication was spot on and I left the house feeling super comfortable and happy knowing Bear was in safe hands. Highly recommend x”

“Chocs said "Laura was great; she should come back every time you swan off on this and that". And I believe every little thing Chocs tell me. How else could I know how it all was good? I wasn't here for the six hours that Laura reigned supreme. What I am sure about, is that it was all mutual smiles when I returned. Top Marks!”

About: Growing up as a kid we always had a dog in the family, it's not just an animal, it's a loved one and a family member. Tillie, our last family dog passed away a few years back, and my husband isn't keen on dogs, so I have decided to get my dog fix by offering services on here. I'm friendly, kind and slightly quiet, but give me a dog and the energy comes out of me. I currently work 30hrs a week, and usually finish at 12 midday or before, leaving my afternoon free for walkies and pop-ins. I usually get one weekend day off, alongside one midweek day. Regarding here. We have a fenced garden, with grass and patio. We have a private Alley to the garden and the gate to the garden is locked with two bolts at the top and bottom of the gate. Personally, I may not do a lot of boarding as my husband has his vinyl collection downstairs, but if I were to, they would have access to the kitchen/diner as well as the garden.

As a keen walker, artist and photographer I will regularly send you photo updates of your adorable pets whilst you are away. Previously I have also worked as a live-in Nanny in America, I have supported children and adults with Art Therapy, have been a successful textile and carpet designer, along with loving working as a lecturer in Textile Design at University. I currently work as a self-employed therapist and illustrator so I am flexible with times and dates for bookings. This also means we can be adaptable to your pet’s daily activity. It would be wonderful to chat with you on line or by phone, to organise a ‘Meet and Greet’ to introduce myself to your pet whilst in your company which will enable them to get to know me. Then, consequently when the planned sit comes around they will be able to feel relaxed and at ease in my company. I can provide excellent references and testimonials on request. I look forward to hearing from you soon and am happy to answer any questions. For housesits, to ease the process I would like to know please: An overview of your pets general behaviour and habits, for example are they: Friendly with other dogs, animals? What’s their routine? Food they eat daily? Are they allowed on the furniture or restricted to certain areas in the house? Do your dogs walk off or on the lead? What makes them happy? How would they notify me that they need to go to the toilet? How long can they be left alone for? Are they an outside or inside cat? Their personality? It is important for me to know if they have any specific traits or issues, or Do they have any medical conditions and need medication? I also welcome discussing these with me prior to meeting either via message or over the phone. Can my clients to please write this necessary information as a note for me to have during the housesit. This will include for example your pets daily routines, their feeding amount and times and an emergency contact and vet details. Please see below a few of my 5 star review on my previous Trusted Housesitter website. Thank you for reading my profile and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Frances Gloria - Cirencester, United Kingdom - 5 Jun - 6 Jul 2022 Frances housesit with and took care of our son Ben the Labrador. Frances is very friendly trustworthy and wonderful house and pet sitter. Patsy - Wadebridge, United Kingdom - 1 - 16 May 2022 My first experience of using a Trusted House sitter and I was very pleased. Frances came to stay two days before I went away so got to bond with my cat and dog. The animals very relaxed and happy and Frances sent pictures and a message every other day about how they were getting on and what they were doing. The animals had a lovely time and Frances was very lovely with them and she said she was loving the area of North Cornwall and I would be very happy to ask Frances to sit again for me in the future. Lindsey - Lyme Regis, United Kingdom - 8 - 25 Apr 2022 Frances came a day earlier so that I could meet with her which was great. All seemed well in the house and with my dog. The house was clean. I was very happy to have her house sit for me for two weeks while I was away. Alison - Exmouth, United Kingdom - 4 Mar - 5 Apr 2022 From the initial contact to the actual housesit, everything went very smoothly with good communication. Frances was amenable to my suggestion that she should meet us a couple of weeks before the actual sit, & also coming 48 hours before we left so that she could really get to understand Tipi’s routine, favourite walks etc & the house. We had no issues whatsoever, she gained Tipi’s confidence & soon became a substitute for us. This was reinforced when we met her some 4 days later to return a key & he bounded up to her like a long lost friend - he is clearly very attached to her & we have asked Frances to housesit for us again. We have no hesitation in recommending her - Tipi is quite anxious & likes a fair amount of walking, but she was up to the job & both he & the house had definitely been well cared for. Grace - Glastonbury, United Kingdom - 11 - 13 Feb 2022 Frances was so easy to communicate with and very organised. She was lovely with Remus and left the house clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend her to others. Thank you Frances! Terry - Bishops Lydeard, United Kingdom - 4 - 11 Feb 2022 Frances, was a wonderful dog sitter, who looked after our dogs and house while we were away. Frances made us feel comfortable with regular communication which led us to enjoy our holiday knowing our dogs and house was safe in her hands. Greta - Melbourne, Victoria, Australia - 14 - 25 Jan 2022 Frances did a wonderful job of looking after our 3 pets and we were able to relax on holiday knowing that she would manage the house and pet routines. Frances kept us updated on the pets while we were away and were turned to a tidy house and happy pets. I'm currently working part-time online so I'll have plenty of time to walk, cuddle and play with your pets. I'm available for pet and housesitting during the week and weekends dependant on my calendar availability. I love caring for pets and enjoy getting to know each and every one, treating them like my own. In addition I love to meet new people and explore new areas. I would dearly love to house and pet sit for you as I would offer your pets so much love, lots of cuddles, follow their daily routine, give lots of walks and play time and with their safety of the highest priority.
About: I own a gorgeous mixed dog breed so have direct experience as well as my childhood home hosting various cats and dogs. I have dealt with heartbreak and pure pleasure. Currently in between jobs so could do with some extra money. Each week I can be flexible. Evenings are also a possibility as well as weekends. I have a modest sized house with sufficient fencing. I live alone. No children. I own a dog myself so I am very aware of what is too much .
About: Hi there 👋🏻, I’m Katie I am 23 years old, I currently live in Bridgwater and i am a massive animal lover. I have grown up with 5 Japanese Akitas and 2 Shiba Inu’s, growing up with these dogs have taught me how to look after different dog breeds with different personalities and temperaments. I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes 🐾 A couple of months ago I rescued a dog of my own, she has come with a lot of challenges that we have slowly overcome with lots of training from my partner and I. She is thriving so much. Being a stay at home dog mum allows me to be available Seven days a week and 24hrs a day. Therefore I can be available whenever I am needed. I live in a secure house with a very secure garden with a 6 foot fence all around. There’s plenty of toys to play with, access to water inside and outside
“Our very bouncy and energetic 30kg puppy was handled with expert care by Jen. He absolutely adored her and always came back from his walks with her very happy. Could not recommend Jennifer enough.”
About: I have experience with most breeds of dogs and cats (big and small)! This involves grooming, giving meds to senior felines and canines and weaning puppies from 3 weeks of age! I am also capable of training basic tricks from scratch, especially to younger dogs :) I’ve worked in a Dog Groomers for a few years now which has made me extremely patient meaning I can cope well with all types of temperaments and learnt to respect the boundaries of animals. My friends and family have trusted me plenty of times to walk, feed, bathe and care for their pets overnight, as they know I’ll provide them with updates throughout! I’ve been bonding and caring for my rescue cat since I was 4 years old. She means everything to me and she’s still here 18 years later happy as Larry! Having this strong bond with her has gained me an understanding of how important a pet’s happiness is to their owner, so I’d love to be apart of that whilst you are away! I have just graduated from University with a degree in Zoology, but I am now based in Minehead for work, however the rota changes each week. Due to this, I would have to play it by ear on availability but will try my best to work around the hours I do with you! I’m an active person so my walks can range from 30 minutes to a couple hours depending on the breed and your preference, I’m also capable of walking multiple dogs at a time :) After each drop in, walk or house sit I will ensure your home is left tidy and your pet is left happy! If you need me to crate your pet at any time, just let me know! You will receive regular photo updates of your pets whilst you’re gone if this is of interest to you (I have interest in animal photography so it would be my pleasure!) :)
About: I’ve lived with cats my whole life, from strays to kittens, at one point we had seven ! I also have experience house sitting, baby sitting and dog sitting. I’m currently back from travelling and searching for a more permanent job so I can completely work around any schedule needed. I’m happy to cover hours during the day, walks, or overnight stays ! I only offer services currently out of my own home as we have a cat and a tortoise that would be particularly against a canine visitor ! I aim to create a secure and trusted environment so you can travel/work/holiday stress free without worrying about the pets at home :)
About: I’ve house sat since I was 18 years old, from sheep to chickens, dogs, cats and horses; I’m very used to caring for all animals and their individual needs. I have a flexible working pattern so I am available to give your pets all the attention and care they require whilst you are away from home I care for the pets in my care as wished by the pet owner so that the pet can remain as happy and settled as possible.
About: I had a sprocker spaniel called Jasper for eight years, unfortunately he has passed due to cancer. I loved having him around but am no longer in a position to have a dog, so I do a lot of pet-sitting (as I always have done), as I love spending time in the outdoors and with animals. I have worked with many different dogs over the years and have learned so much about dog behaviour and their individual needs. Having owned a very energy rich spaniel I am really passionate about stimulating dogs and making sure they get lots of time in the outdoors to keep them happy and healthy. I also have had three cats in the family growing up and feel very comfortable and confident caring for them also. I really love to spend time with animals and it provides me with much needed down time from by busy degree working towards becoming a doctor. I am familiar walking with dogs that may have additional needs, such as if they are reactive or nervous, just let me know what works for them :) I am always free during the weekday evenings. I also am available on Wednesday afternoons. I often am around during the weekends also and can be flexible to your needs. My schedule changes weekly, so don’t hesitate to ask! I love giving my animals a good fuss, and will always be there for tummy rubs and cuddles if they are! Also through having my own animals I know how to keep them safe at all times. As a medical student I can be trusted and am responsible.
“This was my second booking with Nezli. She was brilliant again. Very reliable, great communication and very helpful and accommodating. My dog absolutely loves her and her friend and I look forward to further bookings and her help. Thank you Nezli ✨✨✨”
About: I’ve taken care of many family dogs since I was 8. Also own and have experience with cats . I’ve worked in stables with a variety of animals. Also studied animal care at Bridgwater college. Despite working full-time, I prioritise pet care by building it into my daily routine. I’m highly organized and ensure pets receive the attention they need, whether it’s scheduling walks or feedings before and after work or dedicating quality time on my days off. I find caring for animals to be a fulfilling part of my life, and I’m committed to maintaining their routines, ensuring they’re comfortable, happy, and well cared for no matter how busy my schedule gets. In the Pet Owner’s Home When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their space and maintain their established routines to minimize disruption. I provide companionship, ensure feeding schedules are followed, and keep their living areas tidy. Whether it’s freshening up litter trays, walking dogs, or simply providing cuddles, I focus on making the pets feel safe and cared for in their familiar environment.
About: I have been looking after friends pets for over 10 years & walking friends dogs periodically to fit in with my working from home job. Please make sure your furry friends are regularly de flead & wormed. As I work part time from home, I am very flexible in caring for your beloved at most times to suit us both, day or night. I have a large enclosed garden, where your pet can roam freely, between walks. I have a rather elusive, friendly cat who is used to dogs but does not like being barked at or chased! I am happy for your pet to sleep in whichever room they are comfortable, but preferably not on the bed (famous last words) sofas are fine, if they are used to it especially for cuddle time. Happy to crate them or whatever they are used to for their own comfort. Please bring their own bed & comfort blanket & toys.
About: I LOVE animals! I have always been an animal lover from a very young age and have had dogs in my home! I love both cats and dogs and am a very respectful, responsible young lady who understands the stress when going away to find someone you feel comfortable and happy with in your home! I have a sprokerpoo called Ernie, and we’ve recently had this issue! I work from home with my own business in social media management, so I thought why not offer pet sitting and other services! I also have qualifications in teaching and elderly care so I am an overall compassionate and loving person! As I work from home (or anywhere with internet) I can virtually be free most of the time to pet sit! I drive and am happy to travel to you for petrol fees! If anyone has any questions you can always message! I am very eager to meet, play with and love your pets just as much as you do 🤍 I work for myself, so I choose my own hours! If you have internet in your home (if I’m house sitting) your pet friends will have a companion all day everyday for as long as you need! Working from home means I have availability to walk and drop in to see your little darlings too! In my home, I have a fully enclosed garden and have to make sure everything is put away! (Shoes are my puppy’s favourite!) I am very aware of my surroundings with my dog and what is safe for him to eat/not eat! I work full time for myself from home so this allows me a large amount of flexibility regarding my routine. This is a huge benefit to pet owners I help as I can work around your schedule/your pets schedule at ease! If I have any work calls whilst at your home I will let you know timings in advance, but this will not impact your pet sitting/daycare experience in any way! If your pet is coming to my home. He/she will be safe at all times. I won’t leave your pet if that’s what you require and make sure they are safe and well looked after at all times!

“Macy took such good care of our little chap I think he misses her. The whole family were welcoming and some enjoyed walks and playtime too. This is obviously a dog loving household. Communication was great and we had lots of pictures and videos clearly showing a very smiley and happy dog. If there was anything that Macy was unsure of she contacted us directly which we appreciated. We would not hesitate to ask Macy to care for our very energetic little terrier again as we know he had an amazing time. Thank you Macy for looking after him as if he were your own.”
“Charlie was very well looked after by Fraser and his wife. She was settled and happy and she appeared to have made herself very much at home and from the photos, enjoyed herself thoroughly. I would definitely recommend using Fraser and we will be booking again in the future. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our little girl.”
“Skye was so happy with Joshua. Lots of lovely walks and videos of her having a marvellous time. Would highly recommend Joshua and Skye is already booked in for 2 more stays.”
“Magnus had a fantastic time staying with Annalie - we got frequent photo updates showing a very happy Staffy snuggled on the couch, playing, basking in the garden, and going on walks. Magnus would definitely stay with them again!”
“We were so pleased to find Zak, and him and Theo really seemed to get on right from the initial meeting. The consistent photos and messages we received from Zak while we were away really put us at ease, knowing that Theo was enjoying himself - spending most of his time snoozing from the sounds of it! We'll definitely be booking Theo in to stay with Zak again soon :)”
“Indi-ana just spent 3 weeks with Jane, it is her 2nd long stay with Jane and she loves it there. Jane is so wonderful. She takes Indi on amazing long adventurous walks and plays loads of activities with her at home to keep them active and interested. We could not ask for a better sitter for Indi-ana and we will always use Jane as our 1st choice sitter. Thank you again Jane. x Michelle and Wayne”
“Moose absolutely loved staying with Laura and Otto, he was very well looked after and had a great time playing, going on walks and cuddling! Received lots of wonderful videos of how happy he was all weekend. Couldn’t recommend Laura more!”
“Very caring towards my senior dog. Excellent communication whilst on walks and sleeps. They really took extra care as Picasso has his additional needs and I am very grateful. Thank you I would highly recommend”
“Lee looked after Jesse our 6 month old puppy for his first night ever away from home and his first night without us. We met up beforehand and he gave Jesse the opportunity to explore his space and meet George. Lee was very responsive during Jesse's stay and sent videos and updates. Jesse slept on the floor of their bedroom and slept the whole night through and on picking him up Jesse was chilled and happy and wanted to stay longer! I couldn't have hoped for a better first experience for Jesse - thanks Lee.”
“For Winnie staying with Iris and Tom was like home from home. She was looked after like they’re own. Regular messages, photos and videos, to keep us updated. 100% would recommend Iris and Winnie will 100% be staying with Iris again. So Thank you guys. Xx”
“"I cannot recommend Cherie enough! We were in a real bind and needed someone to look after our dog at very short notice, and Cherie stepped in to help without hesitation. She took such amazing care of our dog, treating him like one of her own. We were so appreciative of the regular updates and photos she sent throughout the stay, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. If you are looking for someone reliable, kind, and truly attentive, Cherie is the person to call. Highly recommended.”
“Andre has been absolutely amazing and so accommodating. Doug clearly had a fantastic time on his holiday and enjoyed playing with the other guests. Can't thank Andre enough who helped us out having been let down by someone else!”
“Nick was very friendly and professional, during our dogs stay he kept us updated with cute photos of her and was also flexible to allow us to pick her up earlier than planned. We look forward to having Nick and his family look after our dog in the future.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and grew up with both dogs and cats. My childhood dog lived to the amazing age of 19 and was a huge part of our family, which taught me the importance of patience, care and understanding animals’ individual needs. Although we don’t currently have pets of our own, I regularly care for dogs and cats for friends and family and love having animals around. I’ve also done obedience training and even dog dancing with one of my previous dogs, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines and energy levels. I live with my partner, Tom, in a quiet, welcoming home with a secure garden and plenty of space for pets to feel relaxed and at home. As I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can provide lots of attention, companionship, walks, playtime and cuddles throughout the day. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I will always care for them as if they were my own. I can adapt to your dog’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. I work from home and can be quite flexible with my work. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they have a safe, calm and comfortable environment where they feel part of the family. We have a secure garden for supervised outdoor time, and dogs will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime and walks throughout the day. I always follow owners’ routines and preferences to help pets feel settled and at home.
“Chloe was fantastic!! I had such troubles getting down to Bridgwater but she was so flexible and really helped me out in dropping my pooch off. She was so good with communication and I felt very confident leaving him with her, and would happily use her again for dog sitting!”
“Last minute booking due to a sitter having to cancel. Our pups had a good time and some lovely walks. Great communication and regular updates. Lots of outside space to run around and play!”
“Reggie had a fantastic stay with Holly (and Nelson). Great communication from Holly throughout with lots of photos and videos of a happy dog 😁. I would 100% recommend.”
“Aleksandra looked after Bucks at really late notice and did a fabulous job! Bucks seemed like he really enjoyed it and we really appreciate how kind she was with him! She sent loads of updates which was really appreciated!”
“Leon spent a full week with Bronte, Sam and their fab dog Teo! Leon was made to feel part of the family and was clearly very comfortable sprawled out on the sofa for cuddles! Plenty of exercise each day and sent regular photos and updates. Bronte was also very helpful when I had to pick him up slightly later. Highly recommended and I’d definitely use again!”
