House Sitting Stratford-on-Avon

“Fiona was a delight to deal with and in all the arrangements she went out of her way to be helpful and ensure my dog, Lilly and cat, Daisy were happy and comfortable with her. She left my home spotless. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone looking for a house sitter.”

“Mikey's first sitting with our 12 month old puppy went brilliantly. Mikey was punctual, followed all instructions diligently and was very attentive to our dogs needs who is in her first season and somewhat needy and clingy. Mikey left our home spic and span too, you couldn't ask for a better service, even sharing pictures of Siena enjoying her walkies and post walk naps and cuddles!”

“Exceptional care for Molly and service to us by Claire. From her original, attentive communications; the lovely, reassuring meet-and greet the day before; and the five hours she looked after Molly whilst we were at the theatre - every detail was perfect. We’re slightly nervy dog-owners! If we’re leaving Molly for any length of time, we have to feel very positive about who we entrust her to. We couldn’t be more positive about Claire’s work. Exceptional. She made our evening stress-free. Because of her, we - and Molly - look forward to our next Stratford visit.”

“I really can’t recommend Holly enough. She looked after my pup and my older dog whilst we were away on holiday. She took care of everything. And I don’t say that lightly. She had only previously met the girls briefly, but was a natural with them. Holly checked in with me daily, updating me with how the girls were getting on. She sent me photos of them on their walks, in the garden and snuggled up with her 🥰. This was so reassuring and I felt like I could relax and enjoy my holiday knowing they were in such good hands. She also took care of our home. She left the house immaculate and even double checked when bin day was, so we didn’t miss out. Holly was fantastic and we hope she’s be happy to help us again in the future 🙂 highly recommend. Thanks Holly.”

About: I have previously worked as a dog walker for Fiona’s Diggity Day Care in South London, where I would walk up to 4 dogs at a time to a secure dog field. I have volunteered at the Dogs Trust, cleaning, walking and caring for dogs needs. I own a mini dachshund and live close to the green way and racecourse for frequent walks. I am a dog lover and would be happy to help. As I am a trainee teacher, I am available weekends and school holidays. I am available at weekends or school holidays for dog boarding. I am currently training to be a teacher and hold a DBS. I have experience looking after my own pet and volunteering with the dogs trust. I have one mini dachshund to keep your dog company and a small fenced garden. I am close to the green way and racecourse for walks.

“Absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Took brilliant care of our dog Isla and our home. Will absolutely be booking again with Laura. 😀”

“Maddie looked after our ragdoll Kaspar for two weeks whilst we were away on holiday (staying at our house). Communication was great and regular pictures were sent whilst we were away. We came back to a happy cat and will book Maddie again”

About: As a Phd student living in a 2 bed flat, I have felt the absence of coming home to a pet. However, while studying/working, and living in a 2 bed flat (which is spacious with a lot of walking/park opportunities here in stratford-upon-avon), I acknowledge I am not in a position to have a pup of my own full time. Although my time can be limited during term times, I am available during the busier time periods of the school holidays- I have set times in my calendar, however on days of annual leave and quieter days in the clinic this can be changed (flexible) and a discussion can be had. With that being said, having moved out on my own, it has made me miss my boy at home - a Newfie Harvey (and my two heavenly good boys too). So, if there ever was an opportunity to spend time with other good boys and girls (dogs and cats) and ensure they are getting exercise and having fun trips out, I am the person for the job. I understand how busy life can be, and juggling your work life, social life and personal down time can be hard enough without adding the additional needs of a dog. Therefore, I would love to help someone ensure their floof is having fun while freeing up some of their time too. I’ve had dogs my whole life (3x newfoundlands - 2 of which I have sadly had to leave behind at the family home, an Old English Mastiff and a Rottweiler). I am very adapted to big dogs having grown up with them, but am good with dogs of all size. Although I’m not a dog trainer, I am a dog lover and would love to be a part of giving these good girls and boys a life of love, fun and excitement - seeing as their time on this earth is so sadly limited. Additionally, I have had plenty experiences with cats also, living with cats whenever visiting my dad and helping friends out and previous Rover users, while they go away. I have been part of Rover for over 3.5 ish years, however, had to take some time off due to other commitments, with that being said, I am available again and am keen to help others with the furry babies. Additionally, I ensure to get back to you as soon as possible. I work in the day mon-thurs, so I would be available anytime Friday, Saturday, Sunday. I am also available all weekday evenings from 5pm and can do drop ins during lunchtime on Mondays and Wednesdays, and any time between 7am-8:30am. I will not be able to take dogs into my flat but would consider cat sitting. I will ensure the perimeters of your build are secure both when entering and leaving and will ensure all locks are locked and all gates are shut and secure.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and currently have two Golden Retrievers, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities. I understand the importance of sticking to each dog’s routine, whether that’s walks, feeding, playtime, grooming or simply giving them lots of attention and affection. I’m reliable, patient and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’ll treat every dog as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away, so you can have complete peace of mind and relax while you’re away. I’m currently in the midst of looking for a part-time job, so I am free all the time at the moment as I have just graduated. I am available everyday of the week and on weekends. Unfortunately I can’t look after your dogs at my house, as I still live with my parents. However, I am more than happy to stay at your house to look after your doggies when you are away, and obviously would be delighted to give your dog a walk or to let them out for wee. I have grown up with dogs my whole life, and have had my dogs for 8 years now! I am a very caring person and would love to give your doggie all the attention and affection he/she is wanting. I will also create a safe and trusting environment at your home where your dog can feel safe and loved by me. Also, I’ve always said that dogs are better than humans, they deserve everything!

“Annie was fantastic looking after Charlie and Nancy. She stepped in at very short notice, which I really appreciated. Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates and photos that put me completely at ease. She was calm, reliable, and clearly great with them. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and would happily ask her again 😀”

“Great communication and very flexible. Sent lots of videos of Oliver and gave him a good walk and lots of playtime :)”

“I cannot thank Elle enough for taking such wonderful care of our baby Mazapán. It was our first time using this app, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Elle put us completely at ease with her kindness and professionalism, sending us regular updates and the sweetest photos of our dog. She followed his routine perfectly, and from the pictures, it was clear he felt safe and loved. We’re so grateful to Elle and would absolutely trust her again with Mazapán!”

About: For the last couple of years I have taken care of a whippet regularly having her to stay for up to a fortnight and just loved it. As a child we had labradors and my sister worked in a rescue. We also love learning about dog behaviour and are avid watchers of dogs behaving badly and all things around dog psychology. As a psychotherapist this aspect interests me. Really happy to help people out by caring for their pets. I have a daughter so they would need to be ok with children but otherwise I am very adaptable. I work part time self employed so I am not out of the house for big stretches of time. The dog would come on both school runs and also an additional walk if necessary. I have a fenced garden and no dogs or cats myself. We are close to nature and have woods and a large football field nearby for exercising. I am happy to go to your house also.

“Melissa did a wonderful job with Bandit. She communicated frequently and was clear about arrival/leaving times. House was clean and tidy after leaving, will definitely book again.”

Sophie L.

“Ali was amazing with Hooch & Bruno and both boys loved her so much. She gave them so much care & attention and adhered to their routines and medication requirements. Ali went above & beyond any expectations and we can’t wait to have her looking after Bruno again xx”

“Stefania is a great communicator, really professional and a warm person. She took great care of my dog and home. Would definitely recommend and rebook.”

Natalie R.

“River took great care of my dog, Amber—I hope they both had a lovely day together. Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates that really put my mind at ease. River was also very accommodating, happily staying longer than planned when my day unexpectedly ran over. Thank you!”

Cristina C.

“Stephen is a lovely genuine guy,friendly and helpful. Toby was really happy with Stephen and it made it alot easier to leave him at our Airbnb while we attended a family wedding. I would gladly recommend Stephen to another pet family.”

Jane M.

“Would highly recommend Jane, she did a brilliant job looking after our house and dog , Bea for five weeks . We received regular updates and pictures which made it very clear Bea was enjoying lots of lovely walks and very happy spending time with Jane at home. The house was beautifully clean and tidy when we got back and Bea looked amazing. We have already booked her for our next holiday.”

Nicky H.

“Jiahui looked after our 8 year old labrador while we were away at a family wedding, and we can't praise her highly enough. She is very polite young lady who obviously loves dogs and cared for ours and kept her happy , and sent us lots of photos and information to let us know how things were going which was much appreciated. We would have absolutely no hesitation in using her again in the future !”
