House Sitting Whitchurch

“I can't recommend Jackie enough! From the initial meet and greet, it was clear she has a real love for animals and knows how to handle dogs of all temperaments. Bear was very happy in her company and her calm nature put him at ease! We look forward to future bookings with Jackie!”

“We are ‘parents’ to a very anxious sausage dog with severe separation anxiety and were quite anxious ourselves about finding a good match to care for him whilst we were away overseas with my parents for two weeks over Christmas. We had never left him with anyone but family before. After months of searching, we thought we had found someone who would work but were let down at the last minute and were feeling pretty desperate. Imogen was an answer to our prayers! We felt comfortable with Imogen from the first meeting and Winston even warmed to her right away which is very unusual. She kept in touch with daily photos, videos and messages that made us smile and assured us amid our own ‘separation anxiety’. It was clear Winston’s we’ll being was her first priority. Our pup doesn’t take to people easily but he was kissing her hand when she left. Imogen left our house very tidy and clean as well, so we could immediately relax after a long couple of flights. We can’t recommend her highly enough and hope Winston can spend time with his new favourite person again sometime soon.”

“Josie was absolutely fabulous and we are so appreciative that she was able to stay with and look after our cat Juju for a whole week. Juju clearly took to her! Will definitely be asking her to look after our fur babies again. Thank you, Josie!”

“It was great to meet Sandra & Ivor and our dogs and cats seemed to be very happy with Ivor house-sitting to look after them. Everything was left tidily in the house and all went smoothly. We were most grateful, especially as it was a fairly short notice booking. It was good to receive regular update photos and news whilst we were away.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had smaller pets such as cats, hamsters, and rabbits, which sparked my interest in animal care and rescue—especially with dogs. Over the past 8 years, I’ve gained valuable experience in dog behavior and care through attending training seminars, volunteering at local shelters, and providing dog walking and sitting for friends, family, and private clients. I am currently volunteering at the RSPCA in Stubbington. I've had to go through specific dog walking training on how to approach dogs who are struggling in the shelter. From being nervous and scared, to excitable and playful. I've cared for new born puppies, taken dogs to vet appointments and even cared for Tortoises. Through word of mouth, I’ve built a loyal private client base that I’m excited to continue growing. Caring for animals brings me immense joy, and I’m working toward a long-term career in animal care. I’ve recently begun a Veterinary Nursing course to further develop my knowledge and skills. I'm currently working part-time at Sparsholt College and University. This enables me to continue caring for animals in my spare time. I have Saturday to Tuesday free for Dog walking and sitting. I'm currently not able to have pets at my home as I have 3 cats in the house. 1 elderly who does not take to new pets.

“At the initial meeting Jasmine was so calm and positive with Lilo and Stitch I was able to leave them knowing they were in safe hands. I have never been apart from them in their 2 years and it was a hard decision to make, but Jasmine made the process easy. The updates and photos showed me they were both settled and comfortable with her. I would not hesitate to leave them in Jasmine's care again.”

About: I have had dogs now for almost 10 years and have trained and walked multiple dogs of friends and family. I am certified dog trainer and know all basic training techniques. I have a small home but plenty of walking trails and fields. Me and my partner work opposite shifts so we would be able to take care of your pets through the whole day. Overnight or weekends are always welcome. I have a fenced yard with plenty of comfy spots. We have a 7am breakfast time and 7pm dinner time but can be flexible to the needs of your dog.

“Juliette was brilliant with our dog Betty! She even taught her some tricks! Would 100% recommend very lovely girl!”

“Celente is a great sitter. She is very calm and friendly and our nervous rescue Charlie took to her straight away. She follows all of our (sometimes strange!) Instructions always and we have great peace of mind when she sits for Charlie. Great communication and updates and we would highly recommend.”

Sacha F.

“We highly recommended Katherine. She is calm and communicative, responsible and efficient. Katherine arrived on time for a handover, and our dogs immediately fell for her charms! All instruction was followed, with regular photo updates while we were out. We arrived home to two very contented doggos. We couldn't ask for better, and Katherine will definitely be on our short list for future sitters.”

“Angela was so accommodating even when we booked last minute and had unexpected boiler problems. Our dog Junie seemed to love her instantly and we knew we were leaving her in good hands.”

About: I'm a dog groomer and I have helped look after family dogs all my life. I have had my own personal dog for five years. I'm great with all tempers of dogs I'm starting my own business as a dog groomer though things are slow so wanted to start walking and sitting dogs. My business is my priority but if I have no clients I can walk dogs and dog sit. I will work with you to keep you dog safe and their routines kept. I'll keep dogs that need to be on lead on a lead.

“I would recommend Melanie to anyone and everyone needing someone to look after their dog. She looked after our cockapoo Dougal whilst we were getting married. Dougal is full of energy and can quite often be a little full on, this was his first time staying with someone he didn’t know so we were a little nervous as to how he might be but we really didn’t need to be! From the moment Melanie arrived we were all put at immediate ease (including Dougal) that we’d made the right choice for Dougal. Throughout the weekend Melanie so kindly kept us updated with videos and pictures so we knew we didn’t have a single thing to worry about and could enjoy our wedding without a worry! She took him on so many walks and adventures that I’m sure Dougal is now back with his parents and not his new best friend! We truly cannot thank you enough! Xxxx”

About: I’ve been walking dogs since I was 14, starting by helping an elderly lady with her dogs. That experience taught me how important patience, reliability, and understanding each dog’s individual needs are. I also have my own Pomeranians, so I’m used to caring for high maintenance breeds that require plenty of attention and exercise. (My dogs will not be there whilst looking after yours) Looking after my own dogs has given me hands on experience with different personalities, routines, and care requirements. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether it’s a relaxed stroll, an energetic walk, or simply providing lots of love and attention, I’m committed to giving every pet the best possible care. As a teacher, I’m available to walk dogs on weekends throughout the year. During school holidays and half terms, which are frequent, I have much more flexibility and am available for dog sitting, drop in visits, and longer periods of care while you’re away. This means your pet can enjoy plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship during your holiday bookings, giving you peace of mind that they’re in safe and caring hands. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I’ve recently bought my own home, which has a secure, fully fenced garden with plenty of space for dogs to run around, play, and go to the toilet safely. Inside, my home is clean, calm, and welcoming, with plenty of room for pets to relax. During warmer weather, the house stays nice and cool, helping to keep dogs comfortable and prevent them from overheating. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention, so they feel happy and at home while they’re with me. If your pet is more comfortable in familiar surroundings, I’m also happy to pet sit in your home, ensuring they can stick to their usual routine while receiving the same loving, reliable care.

“Nicola did a wonderful job looking after Rasmus the cat and taking care of our house, the plants, etc. I would recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for pet sitters and/or house sitting. Not only did she look after our cat and the house beautifully, she went above and beyond, dealing with extra issues that came up along the way and even thinking of asking us if we needed anything like milk and bread for our return. She left the house spotless for us which was absolutely lovely to come back to. During our absence, she kept me posted with pictures and videos and we all noticed how happy Rasmus looked--he obviously adores Nicola! We would be delighted to have Nicola permanently as our cat/house sitter and really hope she will come back next time.”

“Alex and her partner were fantastic looking after our dog in our home. They were very friendly, flexible and reliable. Winnie had a great time and we would definitely book again!”

Tanya R.

“Lily was able to help us at short notice. Communication was fantastic and the dogs looked like they had a great time. I would highly recommend Lily, and if we need a pet sitter again I would contact her straight away.”

Ross A.

“Absolutely delighted with Alice, our pet sitter! Our dog enjoyed long, happy walks and our cats were clearly well cared for and content. The house was left immaculate and communication was excellent throughout – prompt, friendly, and reassuring. I highly recommend and would definitely use her services again!”

Rachel B.

“Charlie took great care of our energetic Vizsla pup - could see in photos he was having a great time and Charlie took fantastic care of our home also. Would 100% recommend!”
