House Sitting in Stafford

“Nathan looked after our dog with very little notice. We arranged a pre-meet where he could walk her and get to know her. He asked all the right questions leaving us confident that she would be well looked after. We have received regular updates and pictures as well as video footage to confirm she had a great time. When we arrived to collect her she was happy relaxed and clearly looked after with every instruction on her care being followed. Our Sydney is a very pampered pooch and if I can say so she was more pampered with Nathan! We will definitely be using Nathan as our on-going provider, one very happy dog and owners. Thank you so much for taking care of her the way we do!”

About: Hey! My name was Ellie but I go by Elijah. I have had/cared for animals all my life since I was 3 years old. From dogs of all sizes to cats, birds, rabbits and hamsters. I have been trusted on to not only care for these animals but feed, walk, train, bathe and be a companion for all these animals and above all else love them. I have some experience within training dogs, I am persistent and quickly gain their trust. I really sense that animals know that I am a loving person and I quickly put them at ease. I am patient and confident with all breads, and I know that every dog is individual, and id genuinely treat all animals with the love and respect as if they were my own. I’m currently working part-time, and the hours are short, 3 days a week, 4 hours a day. so I will definitely have plenty of time to play and look after your furry friends. I will follow any set instructions, left by the owner, and assure any special requests are met exactly as instructed, following a set routine that insures a healthy and happy pet and I want the owner to know I will treat them as my own and give the owners peace of mind.

About: From working at a dog daycare and boarding facility to owning two dogs myself, i have the experience needed to care for your dog(s). I have met dogs in all shapes and sizes, with all different behaviours and needs. Both of my dogs are rescues, one of them needing medication for a vary of conditions throughout his life- so i can sympathise with owners on how difficult it is sometimes to find someone who can care for dogs who have greater needs. I promise to try my best to care for any dog that comes my way. I have worked with dogs with disabilities, slight reactivity, feeding specifications and many other aspects that make them who they are. Looking forward to getting started! Happy to chat, i can be flexible. I work part time, so i have one day off a week (normally a Thursday) and often have weekends off. Happy to come after work at 6pm onwards to help out! I will cater to the dog(s) needs by walking them ore letting them out, depending on instruction, giving them 1-1 interaction, stimulation and play, and clean up after any mess they may have made. I love a dog who likes a fuss so that would be a huge plus, but also happy to care for the dogs who are not fuss orientated!

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 10 years. However I have now found a love for rabbits. I have my own Silva and he is just perfect. For both animals I am happy to provide any service you may need. Whether that be dog walking, pet sitting or even the cleaning out of rabbit hutches and homes. I am fully insured. I currently work fill time. However I finish around 2pm on Friday’s and I don’t work weekends. I also get 1 Friday per month off which leaves me with a lot of time for you and your pets! Unfortunately I am unable to have dogs in my home due to my rabbit however I have the faculties to care for your rabbits. They would be separate from my own.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have looked after, let’s say the more active dogs, such as a springer spaniel and border collie, as-well as a more senior dog which was an 11 year old cocker spaniel. I work part time currently and have a lot of time on my hands, whilst searching for a dog of my own I thought putting myself on this app would help see how a dog would fit in with my routine and house situation. I have a house with a secured fenced garden. Walks would be taking place at silverdale country park for as long as needed. The dog can have free roam of the house and hopefully feel welcome.

About: I have grown up in an animal loving family, and as a result have always had my fair share of pets.! I’m very lucky to currently have 3 horses, 1 dog and 1 bunny, and have 2 family dogs who I see every day. I have often looked after my friends and families animals, including farm animals, dogs, cats, chickens, fish and bunnies. I have previously worked with horses, and spent some of my university years dog walking. I am comfortable around dogs of all shapes and sizes, so looking after your pup shouldn’t be a problem! I currently work flexible hours so have plenty of time to fit in caring for your pets around that. I spend a lot of my free time outdoors, either walking my own dog or with my horses which are kept on a private premises, so your dog could have plenty of fun playing in our fields. I live in a ground floor flat with my very friendly puppy. We have access to a small outdoor space, but prefer to head straight out onto the canal for morning and evening walks. If your dog prefers to be the only dog in the house, I am more than happy to arrange.

“We were so lucky to find Emmie who looked after our slightly unhinged dog. She was so nice, friendly and professional. Billy was really well cared for and we felt so relaxed knowing he was in safe hands. The house was left spotless and we look forward to further bookings. Thank you Emmie x”
