Dog Sitters in Shipbourne

Richard was very reliable and communicative from the outset. He was good at updating me about Rigby and I felt very reassured. I’d highly recommend Richard to take care of your home and pet.

Julie and Trevor took great care of the cats and house despite a very rushed handover when we realised there were delays on way to the airport!! They were very self sufficient and flexible with everything - I would definitely recommend them.

Vicky and her family were absolutely brilliant. Cheerful and relaxed, they were keen to enjoy the dogs and countryside in a home from home setting. We had every confidence that the dogs would be happy with them, especially as this was their second sit with us and they already knew Pepi, although Tayo has arrived on the scene since they were last here. Because they already knew the house, we were able to seamlessly leave them to it. They were very organised and tidy, and had already done a load of bedlinen by the time we arrived home! We would definitely ask them to sit again.

We're very grateful to both for covering this sit and dealing with some unexpected issues, that can occur when living off-grid, especially in the unusually, unrelenting high temperatures of this summer. Rhona was especially caring towards our 3 pets and bravely supported our dog Bruce through a bad reaction to a thunderstorm. Frits is a wizard at photography and dealt calmy with any problems on site, as they arose. I suspect Bruce would have liked more contact time and enjoyed a few trips out, as he's not used to being alone for extended periods.

It was a joy to have Lucy, James and Nellie look after River and our home for a week whilst we were out of the country. Prior to the stay, they made time to meet in person nearby to ensure that River and their lovely dog Nellie got along well and any questions could be addressed. Throughout this time, they were friendly and communicative, making it very easy to learn more about them, the stay they wanted, and their past experiences house and dog-sitting. Before our departure, James came round to collect the keys and receive a tour of the house. They both asked a lot of good questions about how to best care for River and how to behave when out and about - demonstrating their love of dogs and their care to us as owners. Whilst on holiday, we received regular updates on both River and our home and Zoe and I felt continually assured that we were in good hands. Before we returned home, James and Lucy went out of their way to ensure our home was immaculately cleaned, with the fridge and cupboards cleared of any of their food, bins taken out, house vacuumed and sheets changed and washed. They truly went above and beyond to leave our home spotless! James then dropped River off - she was very sad to see the three of them go; a clear sign of the bond that they formed over the week. We have no hesitation when recommending the three of them - your pets and home will be well looked after by a lovely couple and Nellie is great company for any dog!

Another triumph . Christina and Juan have looked after my house and two dogs beautifully . I could not be more happy , and hope that they will use my house as an escape to The Country with Jupiter, their incredibly well behaved dog and Milo their enchanting two month old son . What more can I say except , haste Christina , Juan, Milo and Jupiter back.

Gemma, Jack & Jessie were perfect house sitters! They communicated really well prior and were really reliable. During the sit they kept me updated with beautiful pictures of the kittens. I knew they were being well looked after and the kittens loved having them to stay. My house was left very clean and tidy. It was a pleasure having them to stay and I would have them back in a heartbeat!

Daisy and Will looked after Jack (our Jack Russell) for just over 3 weeks. I was a bit anxious - it was the first time he had stayed at home without us (previously he had gone to his old doggy day care). I needn't have worried. Jack was well looked after (so much so I was worried that he would want us back)! Daisy and Will did a great job looking after Jack and our house - we came home to find it neat and tidy. We would happily recommend them and use them again.

From when I first spoke to Sally I had an instant connection with her and a strong instinct that she would be a very zeewoi. This turned out to be absolutely correct! She and Tim came with their beautiful pointer, Plum, and spent two weeks looking after our lurcher, Tess, and the house. Tess had a marvellous time and went for long and exciting walks. We had regular updates - just the right amount. We got back to an immaculately clean house and a very happy dog. Oh and all the seedlings and plants in the greenhouse were looked after too.

We arrived home to tired happy dogs and a tidy house What more could we want?

This is the second time we have had Megan to sit Bowie, but Sean was able to come this time too which was great! They are such nice people- very respectful of our house and we came back to a super clean space. Most importantly to us, Bowie was happy and was given lots of love and attention whilst we were away. He can be very tricky sometimes as Sean and Megan found out, but they were pros and handled him well with lots of patience. We would definitely have them back for round 3 😅

Joe was a great sitter, who I’d happily ask to look after Dillon and Flo again. He was communicative before, during and after the sit and the cats seemed very content when I got back home. Joe left the house in a clean and tidy state too.
