House Sitting Wadebridge

“Fantastic!! My 2 dogs took to her straight away, she gave them lots of cuddles, attention and enrichment in the garden. She also left the house clean, tidy and secure. I will definitely rebook!”

About: I grew up surrounded by animals and have always loved caring for and learning about them. Over the years I’ve had many different animals of my own, and I currently have my little dog Kai, who is a very important part of my family. My love for animals has also been influenced by my dad’s work in wildlife conservation, so I’ve grown up with a real appreciation for animals and their individual needs. I’ve also had experience working in a veterinary practice, which I absolutely loved, and I’m now starting my training to become a Student Veterinary Nurse. I’m naturally very patient, gentle and attentive with animals, and I really enjoy getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I understand how much trust is involved in leaving your pet with someone else, so I’ll always treat them with the same care and attention I’d want for my own pets. At the moment, I have a very flexible schedule, which means I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the animals in my care. I’m currently taking some time to focus on gaining more experience with animals before starting my training as a Student Veterinary Nurse. My days are generally quite flexible, so I can fit around your pet’s usual routine rather than expecting them to fit around mine. I enjoy getting outdoors, going for walks and spending time with animals, so pet sitting and dog walking is something I genuinely enjoy doing. I’m happy to discuss individual routines, feeding times, walks and any other requirements your pet may have, and I’ll always do my best to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my biggest priorities. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can feel like a big decision, so I’ll always take the time to understand their routine, personality, likes and any specific needs before looking after them. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where they can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment, and I’m also able to welcome pets into my home where appropriate. My own little dog is friendly and used to being around other animals, and I would always make sure any introductions are done carefully and at a pace that is comfortable for everyone. I’m responsible, attentive and safety-conscious, and I’ll keep you updated while you’re away so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care that I would my own, and most importantly, I’ll treat your pet as one of my own.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Lola. Corben sent us regular photos and updates throughout our time away, which was really reassuring and meant we could relax knowing she was happy and well looked after. We came home to a lovely clean and tidy house and, most importantly, a very happy Lola! She actually seemed to miss Corben once he’d gone, which I think says everything about how well she was cared for. We would definitely recommend Corben and wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. Thank you for taking such great care of Lola and our home!”

“Sophie responded to my request so quickly and came to my house to cat sit for the weekend at very short notice. I came home to a very happy cat. Marvin clearly liked Sophie the pictures and messages she sent were lovely and updated me throughout the weekend which was great, as I do worry about leaving Marvin he had a new night time routine and Sophie managed to get Marvin in at night which in itself I was worried about. I would absolutely love to recommend Sophie and will definitely myself be reaching out again.”

“Carly was easy to get hold of and check the details of the booking beforehand. She arrived on time & instantly clicked with Bramble. She was professional and thoughtful (sending pictures of their walk and responding when contacted). We all felt confident Bramble was going to have a good evening with Carly and he did! He was happy to go out, then settle down with her for the evening. I would recommend Carly to anyone looking for help with their dog.”

“Wow, we were so lucky to have found Ilona, she was the perfect person to look after our border collie, Ben. We rescued him recently and so he is quite needy and yet Ilona took everything in her stride and made us feel like nothing was too much trouble. She knew exactly what Ben needed, especially in the crazy heatwave, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone to look after your dog(s). She responded very quickly to my booking request and was clear about timings and was so reliable and very trustworthy. She also kept us updated with photos and took him for walkies in the woods as it was shaded.”

“Jo has just looked after George for a few days. Brilliant experience. We met before our trip so she could meet George and establish what he needed. The communication was really good, George loved her and the house was super tidy when we got back. First class service and I can't recommend Jo highly enough.”

About: I've taken care of dogs for roughly the last 12 years, which first started out with my chocolate labrador Aero. Unfortunately I had to let him cross the rainbow bridge during covid, and whilst I miss his company I know that currently it would not be fair to have another due to work commitments which is why I am only available Wednesday through Sunday. In the meantime I regularly look after my dad's large dogs, Ted & Isla, whilst providing walking and daily drop ins for a couple of friends dogs whilst they are working. I have experience with all size of dog. I appreciate my fees may seem a little odd, but as Rover takes a cut my prices are somewhat higher to accommodate for this. I'm currently hybrid working, meaning I work from home on a Wednesday & Friday, meaning I can provide regular toilet breaks as well as frequent walks. Due to being "in the office" Monday, Tuesday and Thursdays, I am not available on these days as it would be unfair to your pets as I work 8 hour days. Please do feel free to message me to see if my availability does not meet your needs as I may be able to move my week to accommodate. I have a fenced garden to allow your pup a safe space to roam. I don't feel it would be fair to offer boarding in my residence for more than 1 households pets at a time. This way I can ensure your pups needs are being met. Within my home I have no issues with your pup curling up on the sofa or at the foot of the bed if this is the norm for you at home.

“Rosanna looked after our dog Orla while we were away for a week with such care and diligence she was really happy! Would highly recommend Rosanna as a trusted sitter. She provided regular updates and photos and even took Orla to the vet for me while away. Thank you Rosanna! Will definitely be in contact in future if we need more pet sitting for Orla! x”

About:

“We have just returned home from a weeks holiday. Pip kindly agreed to look after both of our dogs in our home. This was our first time having someone new look after the dogs & home so we were very nervous. I would 100% recommend Pip she has been amazing. Our dogs really enjoyed her company and our home was left spotless. Pip kept us update while we were away and sent us images of the dogs. Thank you Pip we will definitely book with you again. X”

About: I have always loved animals and feel calm and comfortable around both dogs and cats. I grew up around dogs, as my grandparents had a German Shepherd, so I understand how loyal, sensitive and individual they can be. Most of my personal experience is with cats, and I really enjoy caring for them, understanding their personalities and giving them space, patience and attention when they need it. I also worked with cows and calves for almost two years, which taught me a lot about patience, routine, animal behaviour and staying calm around animals of different sizes and temperaments. My partner also has many years of experience with dogs, including caring for a Jack Russell and a Beagle for around 14 years, so dogs are very welcome in our home too. I am self-employed and work flexibly, which means I can give pets plenty of attention, comfort and care during their stay. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, rest, basic cleaning and photo updates. I am self-employed and have a flexible schedule, so pet care can fit well into my daily routine. I’m usually available for boarding and day care on selected days, and I can give pets regular attention, toilet breaks, walks, feeding and quiet rest time throughout the day. I provide a calm, safe and homely environment in a quiet countryside area. We have a semi-enclosed outdoor space and are surrounded by fields, including a beautiful daffodil field nearby. The garden is not fully fenced, so pets are always supervised when outside. I take extra care with young dogs, nervous dogs or dogs who may try to escape, and I will always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. We have a cat who spends most of his time outdoors, and I only accept pets that are comfortable or manageable around cats. I always manage space and introductions carefully to keep everyone safe and relaxed.

“Very friendly,and lovely,Kody loved him and was very very looked after.Walked Kody in the evening he can be a bit of an handful when you take him out the front door ok once you are in the park. Looked after the house wonderfully. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Alexander again. I recommend Alexander to all if you are considering a pet and house sitter.”
