House Sitting in Taunton Deane

“Connah did a great job looking after our two boisterous whippets and sent us regular updates throughout the stay. We returned to a clean and tidy house and wouldn’t hesitate to book him again.”

“Ruby was amazing with Jet kept us updated with messages and photos,we was delayed on the last day rugby' was willing to stay longer so Jet wouldn't be left on her own for very long until we got home, also left a report card for us that was very reassuring we will definitely book Ruby again.”

“Paula was simply amazing! It was my first time leaving my dogs with a sitter so I was a bit nervous, but Paula eliminated all of my worries. She was reassuring, confident & experienced, my dogs absolutely loved her. One of my dogs is extremely nervous of strangers but Paula was so relaxed with her I was able to go on holiday knowing my pets were well cared for. I’d recommend Paula to anyone to look after their pets. She really does go above and beyond. Thanks again for everything Paula.”

“Kellie was absolutely awesome with our dog Monty. She was quick to reply with our dog sitting request and wanted to meet with Monty beforehand to go through everything. On the day, she arrived on time and took such good care of him, following his schedule, playing with him and giving him lots of fuss and attention. We got regular updates throughout and I felt completely at ease knowing he was being well taken care of. I will definitely be using Kellie again.”

This means that I will be very flexible with my services and can do boarding every night of the week currently🙂 Moreover, with my free time it will mean I can ensure long walks and loads of loving and company for your pet I have a patient and very loving pug called coco who will be there to keep your dog company, if your dog doesn’t get along with other dogs let me know beforehand🙂 I have a nice sized garden and live in a small village called never Stowey which is about a 5 minute walk away from the Quantock lakes which will ensure your dog lets out all there needed energy🙂

“Hannah was great house sitting our lurcher Frankie. Took her on lovely walks and was understanding about Frankie’s separation anxiety. We also received updates about how she was doing. We’ll definitely use Hannah again, highly recommend! Thank you Hannah! 😊”

About: Hi! I have plenty of experience including pet sitting and walking, veterinary and rescue experience. I have cared for a wide range of animals from cats and dogs to reptiles and rodents. I know that every pet is different and pride myself on caring effectively for each individual pet. I especially enjoy working with anxious or nervous pets, building a bond and bringing them out of their shell. I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks, Zoe I currently am able to provide pet sitting throughout the week and but at the moment am only able to offer walks during weekends and evenings/mornings of weekdays. I ensure that I am providing safe care at all times however I understand that you can never be too safe so would make sure I have relevant information about your vet and will always have transport in case of emergencies. If going out in the car with your pets they will always be secured safely.

“Fabulous. Fiona was absolutely brilliant looking after Byron.He was really spoilt and we believe really enjoyed his time with Fiona. We were spoiled as well receiving daily updates and photos. Can’t thank here enough”

About: A bit about me! I am 23 years old. I qualify as a doctor in May, and currently working in the Taunton area. *NOT AVAILABLE AFTER MAY* I have grown up around dogs all my life. I am used to dogs of all sizes - having had chihuahuas all the way up to German shepherds in the family. I grew up riding horses so I am definitely not afraid of a larger breed! I am sensible, respectful and proactive when it comes to pets. I am generally confident with most dog personalities and adaptable to any needs they may have. In recent times, I have helped to train my own family puppy (border terrier) who is still only a few months old. I am well versed in dogs that require a little more patience or attention. Bits and bobs: - enhanced DBS check - 5 years medical experience - full driver’s licence I look forward to hearing from you and getting to know your pet! As a result of my studies, I have a completely flexible schedule. Afternoons are often best so it is very easy for me to pop in and walk your pup while you’re out at work, for example! I am generally available with very little notice. While in my care, I will ensure that your pet is safe and comfortable, and most of all having fun! I cater to any need your dog has and will respect all boundaries you have with them (e.g. not allowed up the stairs). I am available to be contacted by you whenever needed for reassurance or queries about your pet.

“Jennifer was super friendly and made Leo feel at home whilst we went out. Honest and reliable we would use again Leo also approved! Thank you 😊”

“Ellen is great with animals, she has 2 dogs of her own (and chickens) so is well used to their needs. She has looked after our dogs several times whilst we have been on holiday and they have all been very happy. She enjoys walking them and is more than happy to give them loads of cuddles.”

“Tarka had a brilliant day with Matilda and was so happy when I got home. Matilda was excellent and really flexible with instructions etc. Hope she gets to look after Tarka again soon!”
