Dog Sitters in Haselbury Plucknett

Colin stepped in to sit for our two dogs at the last minute when we had been let down by a previous applicant. Colin was very personable and enquired about the dogs routines etc and did a great job taking care of the dogs and the house.

There ought to be more than 5 stars. For Denise. She has been before and is always welcome. We feel very lucky if she has the free time to come to us. Cannot recommend too highly.

Emily was with our pets Jimmy the cat and Carola, our dog for a 2 month stay while we were away in Spain. She was wonderful with them and they were well cared for and happy when we returned. Emily fell ill her first week sitting but we were able to send Carola to a local dog-walker/sitter for a few days while she rested and recuperated from a very bad flu. Jimmy stayed home and kept her company. Cats are easier to care for even when sick. The house was in order also with the aid of our housekeeper who helped out and knows exactly how and where things are kept and organized. Not speaking Italian may have been somewhat of an issue when problems arose but we have very helpful neighbors, hence the 4 star for self-sufficiency due to the language barrier. I'm certain she's perfectly self sufficient in English speaking situations. We did have an electrical problem when a fuse unexpectedly blew and a heating issue, both resolved within 24 hours or less. Unfortunately Emily was without heat during that time and we suggested she use the small space heater until the problem could be resolved. Always good to have emergency back-ups in place. I was able to reset the date/time for heating system with Emily by phone using whatsapp. We regularly received photos of her walks and park runs with Carola. Also photos of Jimmy snugggling up to her. The pets were obviously content during our absence and spoiled with brushings, treats and lots of love. Emily kindly bought us some breakfast foods when we returned which was very considerate. Emily is a reliable and attentive sitter. Your pets are in good hands with her!

Antonio is such a lovely person who obviously loves animals and enjoys meeting their owners. He's become a real friend and is welcome back anytime.

Suszee is a top housesitter, we've had her sit for Hamish twice. Each time Hamish is well cared for and the house is immaculate. Can't speak more highly of Suszee and she is very welcome to come back again.

Lovely couple, Robyn and George have taken great care of the cats and house whilst we were away. Thank you for all the photos and leaving the house tidy. Highly recommended

Highly recommended

Alison is friendly, organised, and reliable. We had a video call with her before the sit, she arrived the day before we left to go through all of the cat's needs and she sent us daily updates. Our three cats were comfortable with Alison within a few hours which helped us to relax before leaving.

Our dogs had a fabulous time with Carol, and they loved her from the minute they met! She is the perfect house sitter and what peace of mind we had, going away for such a long period of time, leaving our ‘girls’ in such capable hands. They were walked regularly, enjoyed the cuddles, treats, and all the attention they were given. Our two dogs are aging and slowing down, which was taken into consideration during their walks, and we can't thank Carol enough for making sure they were ok, especially in the hot weather! It was very reassuring to receive all the regular pictures and updates to let us know that all was well with the girls, especially about Peppi’s poorly sore that was tended to with care. We couldn't have asked for a nicer person, who respected our home, and took the time to water the plants. The house was looked after beautifully and was spotless when we got home! Thank you, for taking such excellent care of our girls, you are always most welcome to sit for us again or pop in for a coffee and a cuddle with the girls if you are passing our way! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Carol for house sitting as she is certainly a 5-star house sitter!

Juliet and Jen were truly lovely house sitters - communication was fantastic, house was spotless and our cats were very happy and calm when we returned! We would gladly have them back any time and highly recommend.

I can’t recommend Annie highly enough. She was simply amazing. She was so kind to our dog Mitsy and treated her as if she were her own. She was also very patient with us and sent us daily updates and pictures/videos of Mitsy as this was our first time leaving Mitsy for such a long time. Mitsy was so loved and looked after by Annie. She looked after Mitsy so well when she had some bowel issues and even bought and cooked fresh chicken to get her back on track. Annie also looked after our house extremely well and even stopped the rabbits from getting in the poly tunnel. And to top it all off she had a delicious dinner ready for us when we came home. We feel and hope we have made a friend for life. And you could not get a better person than Annie to look after your pets and home. Thank you Annie.

Shelley was an excellent sitter, she was keen to get to know Jess and left the house very clean and tidy. I would have no doubt in recommending her.
