House Sitting Stonegate

“Matt was brilliant with Loki. He was able to help us out last minute after another sitter cancelled and we couldn't be happier. Great communication, very friendly and trustworthy and we came back to a tidy house and a very happy, tired dog!”

“Joe was absolutely fantastic with my young dog Pip when I needed to go away last minute. Pip loved him and looked like he had a great time with Joe. Joe kept me updated regularly with updates, pictures and videos. He took Pip out and was so respectful in my home. Thank you so much!”

About: I’m a newly quailed Occupational Therapist and a dedicated dog lover with hands-on experience caring for my own 10 year old Poodle. Looking after my dog over the years has given me a strong understanding of pet care; including feeding, walking, grooming, playtime, administering routines; and recognizing changes in behavior and wellbeing. My professional background has helped me develop excellent observations, communication and caregiving skills. I am trained to be patient, attentive, responsible, and focused on safety, all of which are valuable when caring for pets. I pay close attention to individual needs and understand the importance of consistency, routine, and creating a calm environment. I am confident caring for pets of different ages and temperaments. including senior dogs who may require extra patience, gentle exercise, and closer monitoring. I enjoy providing both physical activity and companionship to help pets feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my combination of personal dog ownership experience, professional caring skills, and genuine love for animals. I understand that pets are family members, and I will treat your furry friend with the same care, respect, and affection that i give my own dog!💗 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I make time every day for feeding, cleaning litter trays, and giving pets attention and playtime. I enjoy creating a calm and comfortable environment so cats feel relaxed while their owners are away. I’m organised and reliable, so I always make sure pets are cared for on time and according to their usual routine. When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible so the pet feels comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding at the right times, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays thoroughly, and spending quality time playing or giving attention. I’m always respectful of the owner’s home and keep everything clean and tidy. I also send regular updates and photos so owners know their pet is happy and well cared for.

“Christie looked after our cats Cassie and Willow for 4 nights and I knew from the start they'd be in great hands- Christie was very friendly and clearly a cat lover! She sent daily written updates along with photos and videos which we really appreciated while being away. Our flat was immaculate upon return, with Cassie and Willow very relaxed and content! Thank you very much Christie.”

“We had a great house sitting experience with Chloe ! Chloe is a lovely person…she presents as kind gentle and nice to be around… contact was seamless and we had a “meet & Greet” prior to house sitting…. My highly anxious Cockerpoo warmed to Chloe almost as soon as we left the house…and Chloe sent us snaps of Flossie having belly rubs! …clearly not missing her “pawrents” Highly recommended!”

“Cleo had a taster day with Jo which has put our mind at ease ahead of our holiday when she will be with her for 6 days. She sent pupdates and a photo during the day which was very reassuring. Cleo is very anxious around new people but she seemed to really like her.”

“Rita was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter for our 20-day trip! From the very beginning, she was warm, reliable, and clearly experienced with cats. She took excellent care of Freya—administering her medications as advised, keeping up with her routines, and most importantly, bonding with her beautifully. Freya took to her instantly. We received regular updates, photos, and videos that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Rita also kept the house spotless and even left us a lovely plant as a thoughtful surprise. Her presence made our travels truly worry-free. I would highly recommend Rita to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and genuinely kind cat sitter—and would absolutely have her back again!”

“Leiah took great care of my cat and my energetic German shepherd, staying overnight with the pets. She was a great communicator, sent photos and the pets loved her company. We came home to happy relaxed pets and would have her sit again anytime.”

“Emma stepped up at late notice to look after our cockapoos and we are so pleased to have found her! She turned up on time and our girls took to her straight away. She responded quickly to check in messages and the girls spent the evening relaxed and asleep! Would definitely book again.”

Sophie C.

“Amy looked after our 5 month old Labrador puppy, Scooby, for a weekend whilst we were away. I have never used Rover and we were apprehensive, as Scooby is a puppy, to leave him with someone but I had no reason to worry at all, Amy was amazing! Amy came to the house and met Scooby a few weeks before we went away and straight away I felt at ease. Scooby loved her and Amy is a natural with dogs! Whilst we were away Amy provided regular Pupdates and Scooby loved his weekend with a new friend. We will definitely ask Amy to look after Scooby again when we next need a dog sitter. Thank you so much Amy!!”

About: 🐾 I had the great joy of sharing nine wonderful years with my Romanian rescue dog, Bernie Bones, who we sadly lost July 2025. We adopted him when he was one-ish and went through everything together - navigating the challenges of behavioural issues to his playful teenage years and finally to managing his complex health issues as he grew older and slowed right down. Caring for dogs comes naturally to me, and life feels a little empty without our buddy around. I grew up alongside dogs (+ cats) and have always looked after friends’ pups when they’ve been away - I genuinely enjoy their company! My partner Ross and I both work from home, and have the time to care for your dog alongside our day jobs, we also have experience with rescues and supporting anxious dogs. While we’re not quite ready to bring a new dog into our family, we’d love to welcome yours and give them the same love and dedication we gave our own. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply snoozing on the sofa, we’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for ❤️ New To Rover? Use the link below to receive 15% off your first booking with me https://www.rover.com/sit/zoetho958837 Ross and I both work from home during the week and have fairly regular weekday work routines. Morning + lunch walks are usually shorter and focused on getting out, stretching legs, and toilet breaks. End-of-day walks are longer and more relaxed, often up to an hour or more depending on your dog’s energy levels and preferences. Please check my calendar for up-to-date availability, and feel free to reach out to discuss any specific requests. I can sometimes be flexible and move things around where possible to make bookings work. Your dog will have a calm, homely space to relax. We’re a child-free couple with no other pets, so your pup gets all the attention 🐶 Before any first-time booking, I always arrange a meet-and-greet. It’s a great chance for you to visit our home if you would like to see where your dog will be staying. Or we can meet in a park for a walk - your preference! We offer: 🌳 Fully fenced and secure garden 🛋️ Dogs are welcome everywhere in our home 🐾 for boarding - only one dog at a time, or multiple from the same household. For walks up to two dogs, but I will discuss with you first to ensure your dog is happy with others, or can arrange solo walks. 🏠 Your dog will never be left alone, unless you’ve given us the go-ahead 🚶‍♀️ In the park, dogs stay on-lead until I’m confident in their recall I use gentle, reward-based training methods and focus on positive reinforcement, calm handling, and building trust. It’s really important to me that dogs feel safe and relaxed in my care. Because of this, I’m not the right fit for owners who use alternative methods, including the use of aversive tools such as choke chains and prong collars. If you’re unsure whether we’d be a good match, please feel free to reach out - I’m always happy to have a chat first.

“Rebecca was absolutely amazing with our reactive German Shepherd! She was very understanding and open and followed every instruction regarding what works best with our dog. We got the best photos while we were away and felt completely at ease. You can tell that she has a true love for dogs.”

“Anna was so lovely with Lionel. He was super happy to meet her and had a great time!”

“Caroline was an absolute star! She was brilliant with our 7 month old cockapoo who struggles with being left on her own. She sent lots of updates through the day and we felt confident knowing that Nessie was in safe hands! Nessie had a lovely day and we wouldn’t hesitate to use Caroline again in the future.”

“Kitra is a brilliant sitter and took excellent care of our Labrador Bosco and of our home. Her communication was excellent. Bosco clearly loved being with her. Kitra was friendly, approachable and kind. Thank you Kitra!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, growing up with lots of different breeds, and I’m also very experienced with horses. I’ve ridden and owned horses since I was 5 years old and worked in Horse Racing as a work rider for 5 years. Over the years, friends and family have relied on me to house sit, feed, walk and play with their dogs and horses while they’re away. I treat every pet like my own - sticking to their routine, giving them proper attention, and keeping owners updated with photos throughout the stay. I’m a lover of all animals and a very adaptable person to fit into their lifestyle. I work remotely, so I have a flexible routine that fits easily around pet care. I’m available for house sits any time - weekdays or weekends and being home based means your pet gets consistent company throughout the day rather than being left alone for long stretches while I’m out at work. When house sitting, I follow your pet’s normal routine exactly as you’d like it kept. The same feeding times, same walks, same bedtime habits, so there’s minimal disruption while you’re away. I keep the home secure and tidy throughout the stay, and I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can check in and see your pet is safe, settled and well looked after.

“Jaida was fabulous. Tommy loved her and I came home to a very happy dog.”

“In truth, our opinion comes a distant second to the dog’s. Millie has decided that she wants Luke’s services on a permanent basis and has instructed us to take lessons! Fabulous service. Very happy dog!”
