Dog Sitters in Grindleford

Rubia sat for me for almost 3 weeks, on a fairly last minute sit. She was fantastic! She had great communication right from the start and came to meet Cora, Bert and I prior to the sit. She then came a second time so that she could meet my parents (who would be her port of call whilst I was away). Whilst I was away, Rubia stayed in touch with regular photos and videos of my two kiddos. In the videos both Bert and Cora appeared very settled; Bert was always laid next to her on the sofa whilst she was reading, and Cora on top of her when she was in bed. This was a huge thing for me as Cora in particular is quite standoffish with new people and takes some time to warm up and trust. When I got home my two littles were super happy to see me, which was lovely. My house was super clean and tidy, my bedding changed and fresh towels out. Rubia also got me in some milk and eggs, which was a lifesaver given I’d just travelled for 2 days! I would certainly recommend Rubia for a housesit and would have her again in a heartbeat 🐈‍⬛ 🐈‍⬛

Evelyn and her family sat for us for a week. Evelyn sent wonderful pictures of Jessica, who looked like she was having a great time. Jessica was very happy when we got back from our break, thank you Evelyn for taking care of our fury friend, and thank you Matilda for keeping her company.

Kat was great, my two furbabies loved her and did not seem to care that I was back home. Highly recommend and would have Kat back for sure.

It's an obvious pun, but Joy was an absolute joy. We couldn't have been happier to have her looking after our house and our precious dog Rosie, and would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone looking for a friendly, reliable sitter. Even when Rosie was unwell and needed an emergency vet visit (and operation) Joy rose to the occasion and looked after her, even going to the trouble of cooking chicken broth to comfort Rosie. Joy kept in regular contact with us throughout the 4 weeks, with regular photos and videos and even took Rosie on a sea safari dolphin-spotting! We would love to have Joy sit for us again.

Stephanie was brilliant all round, great to meet with and great with our English Setter Freddie. She gained his confidence almost immediately and he clearly had some wonderful walks with her. She happily shared her bedroom with him too. Stephanie left the house so tidy and even stripped her bed and washed the bed linen! We have already asked Stephanie to sit for Freddie again. Thanks Stephanie

Amy was amazing with merlin and he instantly took a shine to her. He even slept with her when I came home. Her communication was flawless and I got updates throughout. The house was left clean and tidy and she went above and beyond when I arrived back late. Thanks so much and I'm sure Merlin misses you

Loren and Lewis looked after Lucy for nearly 3 weeks. They came in a few hours early before I left so that Lucy could get used to them and went on her regular walk with me as well to know the route we use. We received updates as requested and the cutest photo on Christmas Day. Lucy seemed very happy when we returned and even went to sleep with them the last night, despite us being in the house. The house was exceptionally tidy when we arrived as well. They also checked with us if we needed anything for the house as we arrived very late in the evening.

Jess and family were really wonderful pet sitters. We came home to 2 very happy, healthy dogs and a clean and tidy house and garden. When they arrived, they had clearly read through all the welcome pack thoroughly and in particular followed the advice of just ignoring one of our dogs to start with and let her come to them in her own time. As a result she quickly accepted them and was not stressed. Their communication during the stay was also spot on and we felt completely relaxed that everything was going well for the dogs and them. We would have no hesitation in having them house sit again.

I think all I need to say is that since we got home from holiday our cat, Saffy, has been staring at the door to Ben’s bedroom and wanting to be let in! I would definitely ask Ben to sit again.

Jools and Stuart were fantastic. We were lucky to get them at short notice, we happened to be on their way back from holiday! Communication was great, the house was very clean and tidy on our return and the dogs extremely happy. We would definitely use again. Thank you Jools and Stuart.

Letty was wonderful - fun and flexible and left the pets very happy and the house in perfect nick. I hope she will come back!

Vanderley was a wonderful pet-sitter. He took great care of Yoda and our house. He was very responsive and sent us occasional photos of Yoda. When we returned, Yoda seemed very happy and well-looked after. We would definitely welcome Vanderley back any time. Thank you! :)
