About: About me I am a dog lover from a child. I had my first dog when I was 6 which I adored he was a Black Lab cross Retriever. When I was a teenager we cared for many dogs at our acreage property. We had 3 dogs all up and many times took on others for friends and family. More recently we had a beatiful boxer cross bull dog that we inherited from my Dad. I have also pet sit for a friends West Highland Terrier, British Bull Dog and a neighbours Cavoodle. Some day sits and overnight. I am very flexible with my availability. Looking to help people with their furry friends. Also happy to help out with Cats have lived with a few over the years. I have been doing regular pet sitting in Australia through madpaws, whaggy whiskers grooming and doggy daycare and also Australian Housesitters since mid 2025 I am currently semi retired. Love to travel and play some Texas Holdem tournaments here and there and online so when I’m Pet sitting I can be fully available for your fur baby I only provide service in your home. I have done regular pet sitting for groomers, madpaws and Aussie Housesitters for the last 12 months and am now looking to live partially in the UK as I have dual citizenship.

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I provide patient, attentive care and treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or extra attention, I'm committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and will always follow your care instructions closely to keep their routine consistent. I work full-time from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I can accommodate walks, feeding schedules, playtime, toilet breaks, and plenty of affection. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of maintaining your pet's routine and making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. Because I work from home, I am able to keep a close eye on pets throughout the day and provide regular attention and care. As an experienced dog owner and former cat owner, I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. I will follow your instructions carefully, maintain your pet's routine, and treat them with the same love and respect I give my own pets.

“We are so pleased we found Richard and Emma to look after our 2 dogs and our cat while we went away. We got regular updates and photos from them and the dogs were taken on lots of lovely long walks. They even helped us out with looking after our daughter's fish tanks while we were away and they watered the garden and left our house clean and tidy. Highly recommended and will definitely use them again in the future!”

About: I have always had a strong love for animals and plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I have my own Blue Staffy who is now 15 years old, so I have grown up caring for and looking after a dog throughout all stages of their life. I also regularly help look after my boyfriend’s three dogs throughout the week, giving me experience with caring for multiple dogs with different personalities and needs. When I was a teenager, I was regularly trusted by neighbours, family and friends to walk their dogs, and was paid to provide this care. I also regularly dog and house sit for family and friends whenever i can. I’m reliable, caring and responsible, and I always make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection and the individual care they need. I currently have a flexible schedule as I am looking for work, which means I have plenty of time and availability to dedicate to caring for pets. I am able to adapt my daily routine around each pet’s individual needs, whether that means regular walks, feeding times, playtime, companionship or staying overnight. My current flexibility also means I can be available during weekdays, weekends and for overnight stays, depending on the booking. I would make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods of time. I am used to having dogs as part of my everyday routine through caring for my own 15-year-old Blue Staffy and regularly looking after my boyfriend’s three dogs. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality and requirements, and I am happy to follow their usual schedule as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and settled while their owners are away.

About: Over the last 4 decades I have loved and cared for a multitude of my own pets from cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, cockatiels, finches, fish and chickens. I have raised rabbits, cats and hens from babies.I have offered been the go to friend to take care of others pets, from taking care of cats, to walking dogs or caring for tortoise. Animals have always been an important part of my life. As I currently work part time and am also self employed I can offer more flexibility. As a pet owner I understand the importance of having the right person to love and take care of your pets when you're away, I can offer house sitting on the weekend and also school holidays and drop ins at other times. Pet friendly home where safety and happiness is paramount. As an energetic individual your pets would get the attention they need and would enjoy lovely walks and cuddles.

About: I began by independently fostering a pregnant cat who I rescued from the streets, providing housing and care throughout her pregnancy and raising her kittens to ensure their health and development. This experience led me to a role at an animal rescue, where I worked for approximately a year caring for rescue cats and dogs, managing all aspects of their care. A key part of this work involved confidence building, to ensure good quality of life. Consistent handling to help the animals feel secure and settle into their new environment. I’m currently working from home so I will be in your dogs/cats company for majority of the day. Typically I do a daily big walk for myself so this is something your dog can potentially join in on. I live in a small studio apartment in the country side with a large garden (not fenced in) lots of land surrounding me, and many nature walks. There are friendly dogs on the property which your dog can befriend depending on your preference for that.

“Holly and Giles were absolutely amazing and I highly recommend them. Our dog is a rescue and because of his previous life can be wary of strangers. He adored Holly and Giles from the first time he met them - I have never seen him take to someone so quickly and I trust his judgement! We met up before we went away and again he absolutely loved them, I think he would have happily gone off with them without me! They took amazing care of him, our cat Molly got far more attention than she usually does and they looked after our home and cleaned it for us which was a blessing after a long trip. We received updates and photos every day which helped so much in knowing he was happy. They are both lovely people, genuine, funny and caring and have great knowledge of animals. I hope to keep in touch with them as they feel like friends now. Massively grateful for all their help!”

“Sarah looked after Rocco and our house for a week while we went on holiday, she was amazing, we got daily updates of how Rocco was and lots of photos of his adventures they went on which was lovely to see and make us feel relaxed knowing he was in safe hands and having lots of fun as he can be anxious! Our house was spotless too! Would highly recommend Sarah and would definitely use her again!”

“George was a great comfort whilst looking after Cassie and Coral for us in our home. The dogs took to him immediately which always helps when you are leaving your dogs. When we came home, they were relaxed and seemed to have enjoyed their time with George. Highly recommended if you need someone to house sit with your fur baby.”

About: I have a lifetime of experience with animals, especially dogs and cats, as I grew up with a highly intelligent German Shepherd who was my family. Since then, I’ve had the chance to care for many different breeds - Border Collies, Retrievers, Dachshunds, Samoyed, English Spaniels/Cocker Spaniels, Boston Terriers, Toy Poodles, Cockapoos, French Bulldogs, Mastiffs, Pomeranians, Goldendoodles, Wire Fox Terriers, Pugs, and of course Shepherds, as well as many cats, giving me years of hands-on pet care experience. I’ve also spent time walking and playing with dogs at a shelter (many wonderful mixed breeds), so I understand how to care for pets with different temperaments, energy levels, and needs. Since moving to the UK, I don’t have pets of my own yet, so it would be an absolute pleasure to care for yours! Whether it’s puppy care, playtime, walks, or simply keeping your pet company, I’m here to provide loving, attentive, and responsible care. I have a flexible schedule as I work from home, which allows me to be available any day of the week for pet care. Your pet will never be left alone for long, and I can easily adjust to their routine. I provide a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for pets, whether in my home or yours. I live on a farm with plenty of open space for dogs to walk, run, and play freely. If caring for pets in their owner's home, I ensure they feel secure and relaxed by sticking to their familiar routines, giving them plenty of attention, and making sure they are always well-fed, exercised, and cared for. Their happiness and well-being are my top priorities! 🐾

About: I've completed 8+ housesits - for both cats & dogs - over the past six months on alternative applications. And recently discovered Rover! Growing up, I had a cat called Ringo. Although he was a "family" cat, I was definitely his favourite. Sleepovers every night, mice delivered as gifts. All the good stuff. After Ringo, we had Jasper. A chocolate lab. The dopiest of dogs but no better dog we could've all grown up with. My friends that were scared of dogs were never scared of him. Then came Ralphy, the daschund who is overtaking my pictures. My parent's got empty-nest syndrome once my siblings & I left home and now we've all fallen in love with him. He's high energy, high maintenance but gives equal levels of hugs so it's all OK. Re home care - I've travelled a lot staying in various friend's homes as well as living in 4 different areas of London the time I've lived here (3.5 years). I also have an array of plants that have travelled round my London homes with me so I can care for your plant children too. I'm a super organised, clean & conscientious person so your home will be in safe hands. I work from home so this wouldn't disrupt my daily schedule. I'm saving up to move to Australia in October so they'd have a lot of company as I hunker down for the next few months! In the pet's home, it's all about the schedule of the pet and the requirements from the owner. I'll fit to them and make them feel as safe & at home as possible.

“Eden was really good! Eden kept me update how my pup was getting on and sent plenty of photos. I felt really comfortable leaving my pup with Eden. He looked to have had a great time. Thank you Eden!”
