House Sitting Stamford

About: Having owned my own dogs and cats I understand the love and care that we want our pets to experience for them to be happy. I am trained in canine first aid and basic training which gives my fur friends full confidence they’ll be well looked after. I work from home once a week so I am available for day and night care during the week, as well as at the weekends. I am focussed on providing happiness and comfort for my guests. My garden is secure with gates and fencing, and it is big enough for them to roam freely. My home is open plan and is spacious. I am happy to have dogs upstairs if that is what they’re used to.

“Oscar was a wonderful pet sitter for Biscuit. He stayed in our home with her for 2 weeks while we were away on holiday and he took her on lots of lovely outings/adventures and took care of her like his own. He sent updates and we were able to relax and enjoy our holiday knowing our beloved dog was safe and happy. (He also took wonderful care of our two gerbils and fishtank.) I will definitely be booking with him again. He also went above and beyond to do a few things around the house for us - like I forgot to cancel my Simmer order for the second week and he unpacked it and put it in the freezer for me and he tidied up the dog poo in the garden which I definitely did not expect. We came home to a happy and healthy dog who after greeting us also ran back to him to excitedly tell him we were back. Which to me just proves she'd developed a good bond with him.”

“Eliza helped us out at the last minute to look after our dog when another arrangement had fallen through. Fern had a lovely day with her and I would certainly recommend Eliza to other owners.”

“Maria is definitely a 5 star sitter, my two dogs and cats adore when she comes to stay. I'm kept up to date with how tings are going and Maria takes the time to understand the needs of both the pets and the poor human servant who is being relieved of care. Maria is now our go to sitter!”

About: I’ve had a lifelong love for dogs and several years of hands-on experience caring for them in a variety of settings. I’ve looked after puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between, including high-energy breeds that need plenty of exercise and older dogs who require a gentler approach. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to provide daily walks, feeding, grooming, basic training reinforcement, and lots of affection. I’m comfortable following specific routines and handling multiple dogs at once while making sure each one gets individual attention. My priority is always creating a safe, calm, and happy environment where dogs feel loved and secure while their owners are away. I’m free 24/7 at the moment i only have college which means im available for your pet whenever needed and super flexible so you can message me last minute for me to look after your pet I have a huge garden where your pet can run around and have lots of freedom, and in your home i can ensure all of my attention is focused onto your pet to ensure it has the best time and is treated with care

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 5 years old, and to me, they’re more than pets—they’re family. My best friend growing up was Mikey, a lovable West Highland Terrier who stole everyone’s heart. After he passed, I realized just how special the bond between a dog and their human really is. That inspired me to help others feel confident leaving their furry friends in good hands. With years of experience, you’re not just getting someone who knows dogs—you’re getting someone who loves them. I’ve successfully trained all my own pups and taken part in multiple K-9 training sessions, which gave me the skills (and patience!) to guide pups of all personalities. I’m all about trust, care, and making sure your best friend feels safe, happy, and loved—just like they deserve. I work full-time in IT and have a predictable 9-5 schedule, making it easy to plan ahead and provide dependable care for your dog. I'm a friendly, active person who loves spending time with animals, and I'll treat your pup as if they were my own. With my flexible schedule and commitment to communication, you can relax knowing your dog is in safe hands and having a great time while you're away. Hi there! I’m a trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely pet-loving individual with years of hands-on experience. Over the years, I’ve never run into a single issue—just happy pets and even happier owners! I believe communication is key, so I always send regular updates, photos, and check-ins to give you peace of mind while you’re away. You’ll always know your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for—and your home is in good hands too. Cleanliness is super important to me (my flat is always spotless—dust doesn’t stand a chance!), and I bring that same level of care and respect into your home. I also offer flexible pet-sitting packages to fit your schedule and needs—whether it’s daily visits, overnight stays, or just some extra playtime while you’re at work. Let’s find the perfect setup for you and your furry friend!

“We highly recommended Katherine. She is calm and communicative, responsible and efficient. Katherine arrived on time for a handover, and our dogs immediately fell for her charms! All instruction was followed, with regular photo updates while we were out. We arrived home to two very contented doggos. We couldn't ask for better, and Katherine will definitely be on our short list for future sitters.”

About: Hi! My name is Luke, and I have over 14 years experience caring for and training dogs. I also have some experience looking after cats. From a young age, I have been fortunate to have grown up with dogs, and have also regularly helped to look after my friends pets. My aim is to be able to build a personal bond with your pet and to provide them with their own holiday while you are away. I can offer a mix of: Dog walking - tailored to your pets routine and preference Drop-in visits - for playing, company, toilet breaks, and feeding House sitting - within your property to provide fuller time care and companionship for your pet Boarding - coming soon I can also offer basic pet grooming, washing, support for senior pets (medication administration), and basic training for young pups. I will also provide updates for you via WhatsApp, so you can be rest assured that your pet is being well taken care of. I live around the outskirts of Oakham, with access to various rural walking routes. I can be flexible during the week to provide boarding and walks. I also have weekend availability and the option to provide full week cover for while you are away. I have a fully fenced and enclosed back garden with a locked gate. Both the front and back door will be locked, and I will supervise trips to the garden. The house is pet and child free. I live in a quiet and friendly neighbourhood with close access to rural walks.

“We have already booked Leanne for next year and are hoping to have her as our go-to pet sitter. The animals loved her so much I don't think they wanted us back! We usually get really homesick and worried about the animals while on holiday but with daily, sometimes more than once, updates we could enjoy it without worrying. The cats were chill, came around much quicker than in the past, and Holly was comfortable from day one. She also took on our lizards, a leopard gecko (Luna) and a bearded dragon (Peanut), which was a major help as Luna gets dangerously stressed out when we have to move her into boarding, and we don' get consistent updates with our usual boarder, so it was nice also having them cared for and kept at home. Would very much recommend, especially for those who worry. 🐾💕”

About: From a young age I have been asked to care for animals in families I’ve known, in the past couple of years I have developed that into housesitting, looking after animals from horses to dogs and I am happy to adapt to any task at hand.

I am currently studying a degree in bioveterinary sciences so my true passion is to make sure your animal is always safe and cared for. A university student so am home for the summer meaning I have plenty of time to look after your animal with great attention to detail and care to my best ability Able to ensure any safety measures you have applied in your home to be continued whilst you are away. Any tips from yourself would also be helpful!

“Booking Simon to look after our old-age choc lab, Millie, was a great decision. He came round prior and you could instantly see his affinity with dogs, which Millie tail-waggingly reciprocated. While we were away, we got regular updates and photos. Simon looked after her daily medicine needs, and the house was left in spotless condition. I can thoroughly recommend his services. We'll be using him again, that's for sure. Thanks, Simon!”

“Hannah looked after our very needy fire baby Fred and we came back to a very calm dog with a super clean and tidy house. Would highly recommend Hannah she is such a lovely person and we are now so assured when we leave Fred he will be in good hands.”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life. Growing up we had a cat and dog. I have always had rescue dogs and been with them when they passed away. I have trained my own Dachshund from a Puppy. I have an online Gift shop so have more than enough time to care for your cat keep your house clean and water your plants. I am looking into getting a camper van. So they can always sleep with me.

“Diana is an excellent pet sitter! We were lucky to had found her. She came to see our pets twice before staying at ours for a week. She sent daily updates and photos. She left the house clean and tidy. We are definitely contacting Diana again if we ever need help with our fur babies and we are 100% recommending Diana to our friends too!”

About: We have two retired racing greyhounds of our own and are experienced at taking care of others’ pooches alongside them. My working hours are flexible so can cater to your dogs needs. We are in the process of moving abroad but I will be in the UK for a while longer and miss having dogs around so thought this would be a good way to compensate for that. We used to do a lot of dog sitting, boarding, day care and really enjoyed it. I am used to working around my dogs schedule which is early morning walks and toilet breaks every 4-5 hours. My work schedule is flexible so can work around your pets needs. Having looked after dozens of dogs I understand that each pet has their own routine and quirks so happy to stick to their usual routine.
