House Sitting Walpole

“We had a great experience with Emily as our dog sitter. She was reliable, kind, and really loves animals. Our dog Arthur can be a bit shy with new people, but Emily was patient and gentle, and he warmed up to her quickly. It was clear he felt comfortable and well cared for while we were gone. We have already booked with Emily again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”

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 😊 My mum is semi retired, and I work from home. We have one dog, so during pop in visits he stays in the car (as long as it’s not too hot!) afterwards we take him for a walk. For overnight visits, one of us will stay here to look after our dog, whilst the other house sits, we tend to do overnight bookings in turn. We make sure to lock doors after visiting and shut windows for security. We double check that any rooms which your pet is meant to stay out of are shut.

“Very much appreciated the patience and care Jon and his wife took whilst looking after Polly. She appreciated the relaxing walks in the orchard near the house and they were very understanding when managing her reactivity. I would absolutely book them again.”

About: Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do occasionally — it’s a big part of my life. I’ve grown up around dogs and have gained hands-on experience working in a kennel alongside other experienced dog walkers and trainers, which has given me a good understanding of different breeds, personalities and individual needs. I also have my own working-line Belgian Malinois, who is advanced trained. Living and working with a breed that requires structure, consistency and both mental and physical stimulation has given me valuable experience with training, enrichment and understanding canine behaviour. I’m currently an STSK9 student and working towards graduating in September 2026, so I’m continually developing my knowledge and skills in modern dog training and behaviour. I’m particularly passionate about providing dogs with the right balance of exercise, enrichment, structure and downtime. Most importantly, I genuinely care about the dogs I look after. I take the time to understand each dog as an individual and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, stimulated and loved while they’re in my care. I work with dogs full-time, so caring for dogs is a big part of my everyday life and something I genuinely enjoy. I also have my own Belgian Malinois, who is very friendly and gets on really well with other dogs. We love getting out for long walks and exploring together, so I’m used to keeping dogs active, happy and well cared for. I’d be more than happy to welcome another dog into our routine and give them plenty of attention, company and love while they’re with me. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and settled in my care. As I work with dogs full-time, I’m confident handling different personalities and making sure each dog gets the attention, exercise and routine they need. In my home, I provide a calm and welcoming environment where dogs can relax and feel at home. I also have my own Belgian Malinois, who is very friendly and great with other dogs and who is crate trained indoors/overnight. I’m happy to adapt to each pet’s individual routine, including their feeding, walks, playtime and any specific needs. I have a nice spacious back garden which is fully fenced (6 ft) and provide fun activities out there for the dogs.

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different breeds and sizes. I regularly provide boarding, walks, and day care in our home in Peterborough. We live in a spacious house with a garden, close to several parks, where pets can enjoy safe walks and playtime. Animals are treated with love, attention, and care, as if they were part of our family. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my priority I have a flexible routine that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets every day. I am available throughout the week and on weekends, making sure your furry friend gets all the attention, playtime, and walks they need. Pet care easily fits into my daily life, as I enjoy spending time outdoors and caring for animals. Pets in my care are always treated with love and respect. I live in a spacious home with a secure garden where dogs can play safely. Our neighborhood has beautiful parks nearby for daily walks. I create a calm, safe, and trustworthy environment, ensuring pets feel comfortable and owners have peace of mind. If needed, I can also follow specific routines or instructions to match each pet’s needs.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, my father is a naturalist, and I was a small scale farmer for ten years. I’ve had plenty of experience with dogs and cats, and recently helped with my friend take care of many dogs I work around your pets, not the other way around, they come first.it entirely depends on your pets needs and routine.it’s important to me that they are not feeling too much of a change. My home is safe and secure, and there is green space near me for exercise.i offer a clean and comfortable environment for them too feel at home

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. Over the years, I’ve cared for everything from high energy pups to older dogs who just need a slow stroll and gentle attention. While I’m new to offering pet care through Rover, I bring decades of hands-on experience from raising and looking after dogs within my own family. I take pride in being reliable, patient, and detail-oriented, the kind of person both pets and people can depend on. I occasionally get help from my husband and nephew, who are also lifelong dog owners, but I personally handle all Rover bookings and communication to make sure you always know who’s caring for your pet. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time, attention, and consistency they need throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I plan my day around your pet’s routine to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust my availability for drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays based on your needs. If your pet has a specific schedule for feeding, walks, or medication, I’m happy to follow it closely. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At my home, pets are cared for in a secure, structured, and loving environment. I have two friendly resident dogs who are well-socialized and enjoy the company of other dogs. Introductions are always done slowly and safely to ensure everyone feels comfortable. Depending on your pet’s needs, they can either relax indoors as part of the family or enjoy their own space in a clean, secure kennel with a run. I also have a large, fully fenced garden where dogs can play, explore, or just enjoy some fresh air in a safe, enclosed space. I always follow your instructions closely and provide consistent routines, positive reinforcement, and gentle care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.

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.

About: I’m a City & Guilds Level 3 qualified dog groomer and currently work in a doggy daycare, where I spend time caring for dogs both within the daycare and salon. I also have previous experience working in a veterinary setting, so I’m comfortable handling and caring for dogs with different needs and personalities. I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and really enjoy getting to know each one and making sure they feel happy, safe and well cared for. Outside of work, I have a dog and four cats of my own, so caring for animals is a big part of my everyday life too🐶🐱🩷 I’m currently working part-time, so my availability varies throughout the week. I work until 5:30pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays, so I’m available for evening bookings on those days. I’m self-employed on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays, working on an appointment basis, so my availability on these days can vary. I’m also available all day on Sundays. I’m always happy to work around your needs where I can, so please feel free to get in touch and we can find a time that works! 😊 I always aim to make pets feel happy, safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m happy to follow their usual routine, whether that’s going for a walk, having some playtime, feeding them or simply giving them some company and cuddles. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to get to know their individual personality and needs. When pet sitting in your home, I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own. My main priority is making sure your pets feel settled, cared for and loved while you’re away.🐾

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.

“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.”

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.

“Oscar was a wonderful pet sitter for Biscuit. He stayed in our home with her for 2 weeks while we were away on holiday and he took her on lots of lovely outings/adventures and took care of her like his own. He sent updates and we were able to relax and enjoy our holiday knowing our beloved dog was safe and happy. (He also took wonderful care of our two gerbils and fishtank.) I will definitely be booking with him again. He also went above and beyond to do a few things around the house for us - like I forgot to cancel my Simmer order for the second week and he unpacked it and put it in the freezer for me and he tidied up the dog poo in the garden which I definitely did not expect. We came home to a happy and healthy dog who after greeting us also ran back to him to excitedly tell him we were back. Which to me just proves she'd developed a good bond with him.”

“Jasmine was absolutely amazing. She was excellent with our two dogs and followed the instructions perfectly. She was totally respectful of our home and we would definitely book her in again. We’re very happy with her work and she communicated with us really well. Thanks again jasmine.”

Barnaby H.

“Maria is definitely a 5 star sitter, my two dogs and cats adore when she comes to stay. I'm kept up to date with how tings are going and Maria takes the time to understand the needs of both the pets and the poor human servant who is being relieved of care. Maria is now our go to sitter!”

Andy B.

“I can’t say enough great things about Tamara. From the moment we met, it was clear she genuinely loves animals. She followed all my dog’s routines, gave them so much attention, and sent regular updates that made me feel completely reassured. I returned to a clean home and very happy dogs. Tamara goes above and beyond, she’s truly exceptional! Will definitely be recommending Tamara to our friends and booking with her again! Thank you Tamara.”
