House Sitting Walpole

“Emily is such a kind person, we are very comfortable to leave our Mia with her. So thankful she could look after Mia when we had a long day-out, and we will be using her services very soon as we're going away for a few days. Our dog is anxious and she needs extra love and attention that Emily is happy to provide ❤️ truly, we could not be happier that we found Emily!”

About: I have just said farewell to my 15 year old Springer Spaniel and whilst I am not yet ready for a new companion I would love to look after your dog whilst you're on holiday. I recently retired and so available to take care of your dog all day, every day. I am used to walking 5+ miles a day and your pet will get at least 3 walks per day (if required/heat permits) and will be rarely left alone (if Sitting/boarding/day care). I have a fenced garden at the bottom of a quiet cul de sac, and live nearby a large orchard for safe (on lead) walks. Crate and dog bed available and covers on furniture if cuddles are required. I can accommodate 2 dogs from the same family at my home. I will decline bookings if we already have a dog with me.

“Ellena was great! She took great care of my 3 girls for a few nights at my home. They always get so excited when they see Ellena and she left my home in great condition. Would definitely recommend and would book again. Thanks again for everything xx”

About: Hello, 
 We are a mother and daughter team, who have both lived with pets the majority of our lives. We have lived with both cats and dogs, and know how to take care of them to give them the love and attention they deserve. we will look after them as if they're our own.

 We now have one dog, previously two. A nervous medium Labradoodle who we love to bits, so we have experience with nervous and anxious dogs. I have owned four cats in the past, who my daughter has also grown up with from a young age. 
My daughter has studied animal care and has a diploma in animal care level two, she is happy to show proof if requested. I am an ex-nurse who is compassionate and friendly and I've have an up to date enhanced DBS certificate, again happy to show proof. 
 We hope to hear from you. Anna and Rebecca 😊

“Steph is a lovely person. She invests the time and attention to ensure that she has built a rapport with our dogs before we went away. She was also conscientious in ensuring she had asked enough questions about every aspect of the dog sit , dogs routine, local walk routes, running of the house and gardens etc. Whilst at our home with our dogs Steph was exceptional on all aspects. Communication, pictures, updates, and her respect for our home was outstanding , she went above and beyond on every aspect . Even stripping the bedding , washing it and putting it on an airer . Hoovering through leaving the house like a new pin. Above all that, she has such an affection for our dogs. Who loved her just as much. We feel very lucky to have found Steph and would 10000% recommend her to anyone.”

About: I’ve taken care of a lot of different animals before, I have many animals of my own I love spending time with animals and enjoying there companionship I am fully insured. Pet care has always been a priority for me and any animals around me I’ve always wanted to help people and animals with their needs and struggles. I adore animals and love there comfort and company I find being with animals so enjoyable and rewarding aswell as relaxing as animals are such amazing partners to share time with. In my home with my pets I clean them out make sure they always have water no matter what especially in the heat or on a dog walk, I often take a ball for one of my dogs and the other she likes to just walk along side of us, there so good letting me brush and wash them sometimes tricky but not as bad as has been before but my cats are so good with minimum treats brushing and my guniea pigs are such an amazing company aswell, in a owners home will always be dependable on what the owner wants me to do and depends on the well being of the animals wether they have illnesses or not or anything like any anxiety or allergies. As long as the animals are safe and happy.

About: Friendly animal care student and Cats Protection volunteer offering dog walking, drop-ins, and pet sitting. Experienced, reliable, and dedicated to keeping pets happy, safe, and active. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I volunteer at Cats Protection on Monday mornings (9:30–12) and attend college on Tuesdays (9:30–2:30), but outside of those times I have good flexibility. I am available for pet care during the rest of the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I can adjust my schedule to meet the needs of pets and their owners. I prioritise the safety, wellbeing, and comfort of every pet in my care. During dog walks, I ensure dogs are securely leashed, supervised at all times, and walked in safe environments. For drop-in visits, I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding, cleaning, exercise, medication, and providing companionship. For overnight stays in a pet owner’s home, I maintain the pet’s normal routine as much as possible to reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I am also careful to respect and secure the home, ensuring doors and gates are properly closed and the property is treated with care. Across all services, I pay close attention to each animal’s needs and behaviour and always prioritise their safety and wellbeing.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and had my own dog for over 16 years,from when I was a child all the way into adulthood. That experience taught me so much about the love, patience, and attention dogs need at every stage of life. I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs and understand how to care for them gently and attentively. What sets me apart is that I truly treat every dog like my own. I pay close attention to their individual personalities and needs, whether that means extra playtime, slow and calm walks, or just a lot of affection. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals, it’s not just a side job for me, it’s something I truly enjoy I’m currently working part time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I truly enjoy and make time for. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for regular walks, drop-in visits, or extended care depending on your pet’s needs. Whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening playtime, I’m happy to fit pet care into my day. When caring for pets in a pet owner's home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. I take time to learn each pet’s specific needs, whether it’s feeding schedules, walk routines, medication, or playtime preferences. I always give them plenty of attention.

About: I have had animals all my life. I have a genuine love of taking care of them. I have experience with Dogs, Cats, Guinea Pigs and horses. I currently own two dogs, a cat, Guinea pigs and two ponies. I have worked with animals most of my life. I worked for the animal charity Wood Green Animal Shelter on field section, worked at a dog kennels, cattery and also worked in the hospitality industry. I have a clean driving licence. I have good knowledge of taking care of a variety of animals which has given me the experience and knowledge needed. I love the psychology of animals and understanding their body language. I am a single mum of three daughters. Two go to work and one is disabled and goes to a fantastic school in Alconbury near Huntingdon. So im at home alone a lot. I have been looking for a job that can is flexible and active but also to do something I love and have experience doing. I have a lot of free so this type of work suits me down to the ground. My home has a big garden that is fully fenced all the way round. I have tiled floors indoors which is easy cleaning. My house is open plan but I do have a utility room for a quiet place.

“Katie arrived nice and early, dogs were happy to have a new friend to play with. The pack were well looked after and did not suffer from lack of enrichment and cuddles.”

“Ellie was really lovely, and accommodating - doing a last minute sit for me when I was going to stay with a friend. I never met her as she had to complete her work day before coming, but she found her way in smoothly and everything went blissfully. She sent me regular updates every couple of hours - unusually frequent, and I really enjoyed seeing my two having a good time - a little tug at the heart strings and a feeling of love every time I got a new photo. I’ve asked my usual sitters to send more frequent updates now! I’d thoroughly recommend Ellie and would have her back in a heartbeat! Thank you Ellie, from Sandra, Yola and Flo ☺️🐾🐾”

About: I have worked at a doggy day care for 4 years, and cared for family and friends dogs for longer. I am DBS checked and insured. Caring for pets is part of my everyday life and something I genuinely enjoy. Alongside my experience working in doggy day care, I make time in my routine for walks, play, feeding, and giving pets plenty of attention and companionship. I understand how important consistency is, so I do my best to keep pets comfortable and happy while sticking to their usual routine. I love getting outdoors and playing with the dogs, as well as curling up on the sofa for a calm evening in. I believe dogs are happiest when their routine stays consistent, so I follow owners’ instructions carefully and provide reliable, attentive care in their home. From walks and feeding to playtime and companionship, I aim to make dogs feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while treating both their home and routine with respect. I also love sending cute updates to owners showing what we have been up too.

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. My dad was the Chief Dog Handler at the RAF, so I grew up around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities from a very young age. Being surrounded by them throughout my childhood gave me a natural understanding of their behaviour, needs, and routines. I absolutely adore dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace and lots of affection, I’ll tailor my care to suit their individual needs! I work Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 4:30pm, which means I’m available for pet care visits after work on weekdays. I’m happy to provide evening drop-ins for feeding, companionship, playtime, litter tray cleaning, or letting dogs out for toilet breaks and exercise. At weekends, I have much greater flexibility and can offer visits throughout the day to suit your pet’s needs. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet’s routine, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate schedules and provide reliable, attentive care. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so pet care fits naturally into my week and is something I look forward to! I currently offer drop-in visits only, allowing pets to remain comfortable in their own familiar environment while receiving the care and attention they need. Although I no longer live with my family dog, I still see her every day. I regularly spend time playing with her in the house and garden, take her for walks, and provide care such as feeding and companionship whenever my parents are out or away. This has helped me maintain hands-on experience with caring for a dog’s daily needs and routine. During drop-in visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, toilet breaks, walks (if requested), and basic cleaning such as litter tray maintenance for cats. I understand that every pet is different, so I always aim to follow the owner’s instructions carefully and maintain their usual routine to help them feel safe, happy, and relaxed while you’re away!

“Oscar was absolutely fantastic looking after my dog Caleb and cat Stella while I was away. He had been walking Caleb for a while before the stay so they could bond. Caleb is very overreactive so not easy to handle but Oscar knew exactly how to calm him. Oscar sent pictures and updated me while I was away which was great and reassuring. Caleb and Stella absolutely adore him , we feel very lucky to have found such a lovely pet sitter and will continue booking him for dog walking duties . Thank you Oscar , you are a star”

“Maria was a delight from start to finish. From our initial video call she instilled us with confidence and she never let this slip. She kept us up to date at just the right intervals with reassuring messages and photos and was ultra respectful of our house (including an overnight stay). We came back the following day to find a very happy hound and that is exactly what we hoped for. Will have no hesitation in booking Maria again, if she’s available - she’s great!”

About: I have had a border collie for 13 years, shi tzu for 11 years and chihuahua for 8 years. I have self thought how to teach dogs to listen to me and to behave. My dogs are very good on the lead and at home when I am not there. They know when it is play time because I am given them routine. I love giving cuddles to my dogs. I care for my mums dog always when she is away and my mum always says her dog is coming back with better behaviour. Also, I groom my dogs so if you are interested then we can always talk about it and see what we can do. Looking forward to meeting your pooch. I am working full time Mon to Friday. My routine is always to walked the dogs in the morning for an hour. They get to run off the lead near the river (safe place) and evening time same. If someone is at home then during the day they can go to the garden. On my day off we are walking in the forest for few hours. I have fenced garden and my dogs are friendly with other dogs. During the day they have to be downstairs but night time they can sleep upstairs with me.

“Great service from Lucy, I was updated with pictures and behaviour. Had no concerns and came home to a happy pack of pups and cats. Will definitely book again”
