House Sitting in Stroud

“This is the longest I've left my dogs in a while and I felt very reassured by Kav from the start of the booking, where he instructed me to have a lovely time and not to worry because he and the dogs were going to go on their own adventures :) when I arrived at my destination and finally got signal I received lots of updates on my dogs' walks, feeding and medication which immediately put my mind at ease. As this was a longer trip Kav tended to send updates once a day with some pictures of the dogs eating, walking and playing so I knew they were okay. This trip came during a time of routine upheaval and one of my dogs found it quite stressful but Kav handled it well - he can certainly deal with high-needs dogs and varying requirements professionally. We had a debrief after the stay to talk through how things went and Kav was approachable, considerate and empathetic. Thanks for caring for my dogs again!”

“Annie was brilliant with both our pets. Our cat is very timid but he came out of his shell and spent time with Annie. Our dog absolutely loved having her spend time with him and take him on a walk. Both our pets were thoroughly looked after as if they were her own and we would recommend Annie to anyone looking for a pet sitter”

“Can’t recommend Rachael highly enough - she is absolutely incredible!!! She looked after our two cats, Maia and Zeus amazingly this weekend, keeping me constantly updated with lots of photos and videos which we loved (even if it did make me jealous of all the cuddles she was getting!!! :p) Both cats warmed to her so quickly, even Maia who is usually a little more nervous around new people!! She absolutely adored Rachael and was happily snuggling up to her - which I think says everything!! I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such caring hands. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and genuinely wonderful cat sitter. We’ve already booked her again for our next trip!”

“Fantastic, our pugs seemed really settled when we got home. Lots of regular contact, and the house was as we left it. Can’t recommend enough!”

“Carol was an excellent sitter. From our first interaction, Carol came across very easy going and very accommodating to meet all of our needs. She did a great job looking after, keeping us updated. Dogs had plenty of walks, despite one of ours being very over excitable and pulling on the lead still being a work in progress! We came back to a very clean and tidy home and two happy doggies. We would definitely recommend Carol. Thank you 😊”

“Couldn't of been happier with Lisa's services to our two dogs. Both of them absolutely loved Lisa and I'm sure are missing her, will be sure to be using Lisa again in the future.”

“Sandra is an excellent dog sitter. She is very kind and calm. She looked after our 3 dogs amazingly well. We came back and they were so calm and content, the house was clean and tidy and she kept excellent communication with us while we were away so we could relax and enjoy our holiday knowing they were in good hands. Our dog has a health condition that Sandra managed so well and was she was safe taking the dogs out mindful of all their quirks ! I cannot recommend Sandra highly enough and definitely hope she will sit for us again!!!”

“Sheryl was amazing in taking care of my two dogs. We don't leave them overnight often and they require regular medication so I was a little nervous, but she was so kind and caring that we immediately felt that they were in safe hands. Sheryl's communication was great and she provided updates which we really appreciated. Highly recommend, we will definitely reach out again in the future if we require her services again.”

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities, I offer more than just pet sitting—I provide peace of mind. I specialise in puppy training, including basic obedience, crate comfort, and potty routines, as well as senior pet care, attending to special diets, medications, and mobility support. What sets me apart is my calm, intuitive approach and deep understanding of animal behavior. I don’t just watch pets—I engage with them, earning their trust and tailoring care to their individual needs. Whether it’s a high-energy dog needing long walks or a shy cat who just wants a quiet companion, I adapt my care style to suit them. I’m also trained in pet first aid, and I keep a close eye on any changes in behavior or health. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I treat every pet like family—and that means attention to the little things that truly matter. I have experience with administering oral and topical medications, caring for senior pets with special routines, and helping anxious or shy animals feel safe and at ease. I genuinely enjoy the day-to-day responsibilities of pet care—yes, even the messy ones! From deep-cleaning litter trays to keeping food and water areas spotless, I take pride in creating a clean, comfortable space for your pet. Whether it's sticking to a precise feeding schedule, giving extra love to a recovering senior, or making sure your energetic pup gets a great walk and mental stimulation, I bring patience, reliability, and a whole lot of heart to every visit 🐾 Pet care is a regular and rewarding part of my daily life. I structure my days around walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins, making sure each pet gets consistent, focused attention. Whether it's morning walks, midday visits, or evening cuddles, I plan my schedule to give pets the time and care they deserve. I limit the number of clients I take on at once so I can give each pet personalized care without feeling rushed. Pet care isn’t a side job for me—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and have made part of my everyday rhythm. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, playtime, and medication schedules exactly as instructed. I aim to be a calm, consistent presence—giving them the attention, affection, and structure they’re used to. I also make sure the home stays tidy and safe, cleaning up after pets, refreshing litter boxes or potty areas, and sending daily updates with photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you're away. Whether it’s short visits or overnight stays, I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re my own. When I care for pets in their own home, I keep things familiar and comforting—following their usual routine for feeding, walks, medications, and playtime. I aim to be a calm, reliable presence, and I always treat your home with the utmost respect. It’s a great option for pets who prefer their own space or are sensitive to change. When pets stay in my home, they get a warm, safe, and welcoming environment with plenty of attention. I have a secure, fenced garden perfect for supervised outdoor play and potty breaks. My space is clean, pet-friendly, and calm—ideal for dogs who enjoy company, fresh air, and a cozy home-away-from-home. I keep a structured routine and make sure every pet gets personal attention, cuddles, and mental stimulation. No matter the location, I prioritize safety, comfort, and treating your pet like part of the family.

“Daniel came to cat sit for our two fur babies for a week. He understood how special they are to us and made every effort to reassure us and understand their individual quirks and requirements. We felt very secure with the regular updates and photos and Daniel always responded promptly which added to the trust. Daniel took great care of our house and everything was left tidy. We would absolutely book him again and fingers crossed he is available for our next trip. Thank you so much Daniel!”

“Yixuan did a wonderful job with our rescue dog, Todor, who is still settling in and can be anxious at times. She was incredibly patient, caring, and understanding, and took the time to listen to all the instructions we gave her. We felt completely at ease knowing he is in such good hands. We’ll definitely be sticking with her and highly recommend her. Thank you Yixuan!”

“When I arrived home after a two-day trip my kitties were happy and relaxed. I know they loved spending time with Scott because looking at the pictures he sent me, my cats were always close to him. Scott is very caring, sweet and reliable. I couldn’t ask for more. He even vacumed the floor and emptied my dishwasher. Top 🔝 I have already booked him for my next trip.”
