House Sitting Winchester

“Imi was amazing! She looked after our 8 month lab puppy for the afternoon who loved lots of belly scratches and playing. Imi is lovely, was great at communicating and even was happy to met us beforehand and for a walk 🐾 we hope Imi is available again to help look after our pup!”

“After reading Mollys profile we knew she would be perfect to look after Chester and she didn’t disappoint. Chester took to Molly immediately and he was on his best behaviour when she took care of him. Molly was very respectful of our home and provided us with updates via Rover. Molly responds very quickly to messages we sent her before, during and after her stay. We will definitely use Molly again.”

About: Before I moved onto public apps, I have had a lot of experience with looking after pets whether it's my own or a family members or a friend's. I've looked after my aunt's dog for long weekends staying over at her house, walking twice a day and playing in the garden. I've spent a couple of weeks travelling to a friend's house to look after and walk their dog for the afternoon whilst they are at work. Molly is a high maintenance cockerpoo and it's always a fun time with her. We go for hour long walks or adapt accordingly by playing inside whilst the weather has been too hot to take her out during the day. Our family own a rescued Saluki who has behavior issues and I am sometimes left with him on my own. I have easily picked up on how to look after him properly and give him the love, care and attention he needs. I currently have a part-time job every Sunday between 10 and 4. Throughout the week, I only have one evening commitment which is my volunteering for my local Brownie unit. Most of my weekdays are flexible and easy to work with. Due to my family's situation with our dogs behavioural issues, I am unfortunately unable to provide services at my own home. However, when I travel to other homes to care for pets, I always make sure we spend time playing together either inside or outside, feed and go for a walks. I am happy to administer medication orally and if a vet is required I can drive them to your vet. Please leave full details of your vet and any insurance plan you have. Dogs with separation anxiety need a lot of extra care and attention and I can talk with you at a meeting beforehand to discuss the best ways to calm your dog so they are at ease in their own home with someone they don't know. For your dog's safety, I always do leads on a walk.

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember — I started looking after neighbours’ and family’s pets around age 10, and it’s grown into something people trust me with regularly. I’m just as comfortable handling multiple dogs at once as I am with a single pup, and I bring the same patience and attention to every dog in my care, whatever the weather. Alongside my pet care experience, I also have 5 years of house sitting experience, so your home will be looked after just as well as your dog. I always stick closely to feeding schedules and routines exactly as instructed. From September, I’m available Wednesdays, Thursday mornings, Friday afternoons, most evenings, and weekends — so there’s plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, or boarding. I’m starting midwifery training that month, which shapes my availability around those specific days and times, but I’m consistent and reliable within that schedule. I always try and plan visits around your pet’s usual routine rather than fitting them around mine, so feeding, walking, and playtime stay on track I look after pets in their own home, which I find keeps things calm and familiar for them — no unsettling car journeys or unfamiliar spaces. I follow your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding times, walking routes, or any particular quirks your pet has. I’m comfortable in a range of home environments and always treat your space with the same care and respect as I would my own.

“Massive thank you to Laura for taking care of Barley boy. She gave Barley lots of attention and left the house tidy and how we left it. She also listened to the instructions we left her as Barley has many quirks and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone. Thank you! 🥰”

“Daniel was great and we'd really recommend him. Communication was easy right from the start and arrangements were straightforward. He kept us updated while away and did a great job looking after our old cat.”

About: What sets me apart is my experience, patience and understanding of animal behaviour. I do not believe in a one size fits all approach to caring for animals. Every pet is an individual, with their own personality, needs and experiences, and I take the time to understand and work with them at their own pace. During and after my 3 years at Merrist Wood College, learning to work with and care for them, I have worked with a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, farm animals and British wildlife. This experience has given me a strong understanding of animal behaviour and body language, including how to recognise when an animal may be anxious, fearful, overwhelmed or reactive. I am particularly patient with animals who may need extra time to build trust or feel comfortable in a new situation. Whether your pet is nervous, reactive, highly energetic, elderly, has specific needs or simply takes a little longer to warm up to new people, I take a calm, gentle and individual approach. I never force interaction and instead allow animals to build confidence at their own pace. With over 13 years of experience working with animals, I bring a calm, patient and observant approach to every pet I care for. I believe that building trust is one of the most important parts of animal care, and i take great pride in forming genuine connections with animals - even those who may initially find new people or situations difficult. If you would like a copy of my CV, please do ask. I am very flexible and happy to work around your needs. Whether you need a couple of hours each day, or full day care, a few days a week or every day. I can tailor my schedule to provide consistent, reliable support for you and your pets. Your pets will be cared for as if they were my own - with lots of love, attention and care. I provide a calm, safe and comfortable environment, follow your instructions closely, and keep you updated so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away.

“Kamila is an absolute angel and we’re always so pleased when she is able to look after Daisy. Daisy is always excited to see her and is happy and well looked after when we get home.”

“Hilary was fantastic, she looked after Gracie at very short notice for us and we are truly greatful. We knew Gracie was in safe hands, was walked and we received some fabulous pictures.”

“Jane has just dog sat my puppy Skyla for the first time. Jane is super lovely and I felt very at ease leaving her with Skyla, confident that my house and puppy were in very safe hands, and that Skyla was going to have a great day. Skyla is teething at the moment and can be a bit of a minx but Jane took everything in her stride. Jane kept me updated throughout the day with photos, videos and messages, and I'd definitely book her again.”

About: Hello 👋 I have over 10 years of experience of looking after both cats and dogs, with dogs of all breeds and sizes, ranging from border terriers to rottweilers. I am well equipped and prepared for any canine care! I have always had my own dogs, but currently I live in an animal free home. I am also feline & canine first aid trained. We live near the south downs national park, so are close to lots of walking routes. We also enjoy summer evening walks around the golf course and runs along the itchen river. I work from home, so I am here to keep your dogs company and/or take them out, make sure they have all the toilet breaks and attention that they need very flexibly on a daily basis. I regularly go for walks and runs myself, so can guarantee your pet will get to go on lots of adventures 😊 i am both canine & feline first aid trained, and have lots of experience with different pet ages, behaviours, routines and habits. I’ll do my best to replicate the same experience your pet has with you at home.

“Can’t thank Kim enough for looking after Skyla. Arrived home to a happy dog, happy house and everything in prefect order.”

Tracey M.

“Barney is calm, reliable and took good care of our Golden Retriever who was recovering from a recent operation. He sent us regular photo’s and updates whilst we were away to let us know that all was well. On return we had a happy dog and a clean and tidy house. We will definitely be using Barney again!”

Rachel I.

“Alexandra did an outstanding job of looking after our home and pooch. Ali was always spot on with communication and letting us know how our baby was. Roxy absolutely loved Ali and actually sulked when she left. Would highly recommend Ali.”

Vaughn B.

“Natasha was fantastic with my cat Olten, he can be temperamental but she was patient and he even sat on her knee. She sent me lots of updates and pictures and last minute did an extra night which was so helpful! She also left the house super clean. I would definitely book again 😊”

About: Friends, family and neighbours have relied on me to look after their dogs when they are away or walk them when they are unable to. As a university student with a part-time zero-hour contract, my schedule offers a good level of flexibility. My availability can vary week to week, but I’ll always be clear and communicative about this and only accept bookings I can fully commit to. I’m happy to discuss dates and work around your pet’s routine where possible! I believe pets are happiest when their routine is maintained, so I will always try to provide care that feels familiar to them. In a pet owner’s home, I’ll stick closely to their usual routine for feeding, walks, exercise, play and any other care needs. Whether your pet loves company and cuddles or prefers a quieter approach, I’ll adapt to what makes them feel safest and happiest.

“Kerry was great from the time that we met here to when she looked after Jovi for us. She sent us a message when she arrived, then whilst she was at our house and then when she left. Our house was left exactly the same way as when we left and our dog Jovi was well looked after. I would recommend using Kerry and will be using her again. Thank you again Kerry.”
