House Sitting Southery

“Ellie was really lovely, and accommodating - doing a last minute sit for me when I was going to stay with a friend. I never met her as she had to complete her work day before coming, but she found her way in smoothly and everything went blissfully. She sent me regular updates every couple of hours - unusually frequent, and I really enjoyed seeing my two having a good time - a little tug at the heart strings and a feeling of love every time I got a new photo. I’ve asked my usual sitters to send more frequent updates now! I’d thoroughly recommend Ellie and would have her back in a heartbeat! Thank you Ellie, from Sandra, Yola and Flo ☺️🐾🐾”

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life and I am hoping to work with animals as a full time job in the future. I recently completed my level 3 Animal Management qualification at college and am going to be starting university in September to study Veterinary Physiotherapy, so that I can achieve my dream of helping animals. I have previous work experience at the RSPCA looking after a range of dog breeds, including larger breeds like Huskies and Cane Corsos as well as small breeds like Chihuahuas and Terriers. During this experience, I have helped to walk dogs, clean out kennels, feed and play with dogs. I have also gained experience working with cats, rabbits, birds and other small animals at the RSPCA. I currently have a dog, who is a springer spaniel x poodle called Doodle, and a cat, called Pancake. I spend much of my free time taking Doodle on walks and playing and cuddling with her and Pancake whenever they want to. I have also on many occasions looked after pets of friends and family, including labradors, spaniels, jack russells, beagles, cats and rabbits. I am currently a student and am at college 3 days per week. I typically have full availability on weekends and am usually free on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, as well as most evenings. The safety of your pets will always be my number one priority and I will ensure that I keep an eye on them so that they are safe and happy. I will listen to, follow and respect any rules or boundaries that you have when looking after your pets to keep both you and your pets happy and comfortable.

“Very pleased with Charlie. He sent enough pictures during his stay so I knew he and Bear were getting on. He left the house very clean and tidy having stayed 2 nights. I would definitely use Charlie again.”

About: I have had and taken care of a range of animals over the past 30 years, working with horses, competing them, caring for smaller animals ranging from reptiles to hamsters. I can help with training puppies and happy to administer medication to animals when needed. You can rest easy knowing your pet is in professional hands. I hold a National Diploma in Animal Care, am DBS checked, fully insured, and a proud member of NARPS UK (National Association of Pet Sitters & Dog Walkers). I am currently working part time, so have plenty of time to be as flexible as possible. Happy to work with owners to meet everyone’s needs. Care will be in owners own home. I am not wanting to bring pets out of the current routine. Please ask for more details on what I offer to keep pets happy in their own homes.

“We were absolutely delighted with Philippa and David as our dog sitters. From the start, they put us at ease by sending lots of photos and regular updates about our dog, who was clearly having a wonderful time in their care. It was such a relief to see how happy and relaxed Milo was while we were away. Not only did they take excellent care of our dog, but they also kept our home spotless and even went the extra mile by watering our plants. Coming back to a well maintained house and contented dog made our trip stress free. We’d happily recommend Philippa and David to anyone looking for truly thoughtful and responsible sitters.”

“Emily is such a kind person, we are very comfortable to leave our Mia with her. So thankful she could look after Mia when we had a long day-out, and we will be using her services very soon as we're going away for a few days. Our dog is anxious and she needs extra love and attention that Emily is happy to provide ❤️ truly, we could not be happier that we found Emily!”

About: I have just said farewell to my 15 year old Springer Spaniel and whilst I am not yet ready for a new companion I would love to look after your dog whilst you're on holiday. I recently retired and so available to take care of your dog all day, every day. I am used to walking 5+ miles a day and your pet will get at least 3 walks per day (if required/heat permits) and will be rarely left alone (if Sitting/boarding/day care). I have a fenced garden at the bottom of a quiet cul de sac, and live nearby a large orchard for safe (on lead) walks. Crate and dog bed available and covers on furniture if cuddles are required. I can accommodate 2 dogs from the same family at my home. I will decline bookings if we already have a dog with me.

About: I have had a border collie for 13 years, shi tzu for 11 years and chihuahua for 8 years. I have self thought how to teach dogs to listen to me and to behave. My dogs are very good on the lead and at home when I am not there. They know when it is play time because I am given them routine. I love giving cuddles to my dogs. I care for my mums dog always when she is away and my mum always says her dog is coming back with better behaviour. Also, I groom my dogs so if you are interested then we can always talk about it and see what we can do. Looking forward to meeting your pooch. I am working full time Mon to Friday. My routine is always to walked the dogs in the morning for an hour. They get to run off the lead near the river (safe place) and evening time same. If someone is at home then during the day they can go to the garden. On my day off we are walking in the forest for few hours. I have fenced garden and my dogs are friendly with other dogs. During the day they have to be downstairs but night time they can sleep upstairs with me.

“Paula was so very kind and caring towards our cat and helped very much even when he was unwell. She kept in touch and sent pictures and videos of him. We were so grateful to have her here with him for peace of mind. She even cleaned the house before leaving which was so thoughtful. We will definitely use her again in the future.”

“Kai came to our rescue and looked after our pets ( including my sisters dog ) for the Easter weekend, I cannot recommend Kai more highly, you can tell he loves animals, he was very intuitive and empathetic with our doggies ( who can be slightly neurotic !) and as soon as he walked in they came to him and then wouldn't leave him alone ! He's a kind, calm and gentle soul and he also looked after the cottage very well, sent us regular pics and updates so we could relax knowing the pets were ok and he had things under control. We wholeheartedly recommend Kai and will definitely be booking him again. Thanks Kai ... you are a superstar 🌟”

“Izzy has been great with our new puppy who absolutely loves her and gets so excited when she walks through the door. She has remembered and taken into account every little detail we have told her about our puppy and kept that in mind whilst looking after him. I know he has such a great time every time she is here.”

About: I’m an 18-year-old animal lover with many years of experience caring for pets. I have been surrounded by animal my whole life.

I’m responsible, trustworthy, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m happy to care for dogs and other small animals and always treat them as if they were my own.

I’m happy to help with dog walking, feeding, check-ins, and spending time with pets to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I will look after your pet/pets in your own home or on walks. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, walking schedules, and any special care your pet may need.
