Dog Sitters in Swallowfield

Renskie is a lovely South African Lady who house sitted for 10 days in August 2024. We had lots of communication before and she was happy to add Chickens to the list of animals to look after when we got 3 after she'd agreed to sit for us. Rene was very capable, she kept in touch, house was spotless on our return and happy animals. She was resourceful when faced with a storm and keeping chickens dry. I would highly recommend her for any sit as being 100% reliable and would happily have her return at any point. Thank you René

Holly made us feel safe in the knowledge that she would care for Freya as she was her own. They took her everywhere they went and Freya seemed happy and relaxed in the photos we received. I would definitely have Holly to care for Freya again 🐾🐾

Em is a gem of a pet-sitter, I would have left 10 stars out of 5 if it had been possible ! Before and during the sit, communication was very good. We often received photos and videos of Olya having a great time ! We returned to a very happy cat, whose bowls had been left with the necessary rations until we came back. We came back to a spotless home both times (Em sat for us over 2 periods this summer) and Em had even found a solution to our flies problem ! Olya sometimes pees outside her litter box and Em also had some insightful suggestions to improve this. She bonded with Olya and was very observant, and she shared some of her insights with us regarding how she expresses her needs (she has quite the range of meows, being a chatty Bengal !), which is very helpful. We really enjoyed being able to meet Em before we left – and her partner Mat, who was here for the first week. Both are very friendly, easy to get along with and we left feeling reassured Olya would be well-looked after during our holiday. Em is a very responsible and uncomplicated sitter, she even offered to get us some groceries for our return from holiday, very thoughtful ! We’d love to have Em sit for Olya again!

Salomi did a wonderful job minding our nervous black cat Minnie for over two weeks. Minnie was well cared for and happy when we returned. We came back to a clean and tidy house and even some fresh food thoughtfully left for us, which was great as we had an overnight flight. This was our first experience of having a pet sit and we certainly will be hoping Salomi would consider another pet sit for us in the future.

What a lovely lady Leanne is. She took such good care of Archie which was our number one priority. She also kept the cottage very clean and tidy. It was a real pleasure getting to know her and wouldn't hesitate in having her come sit for us again

Jen was our first HouseSitter and exceeded our expectations on all fronts. She asked all the right questions to get ready for the sit, she replied promptly to our questions and offered a video call in advance to sync up. She arrived punctually to do a handover and took time to get to know our pets (dog and cat). She took great care of the house and messaged us with small questions when necessary. She kindly gave us regular updates all was OK with the occasional photo. Would have Jen back again and recommend to anyone looking for a house and pet sitter.

Rachel was an excellent pet sitter. She is very respectful and was amazing with our dog. She is welcome back anytime. Thank you so much Rachel

Liz and Peter were the perfect house and pet sitters, and we can highly recommend them. They looked after our 3 cats, home, garden and the parrots and wild possum for a month over our Summer 2017/18. We were happy that Liz and Peter could spend Xmas Eve with us and our friends before we went off travelling. Their experience with foster cats and kittens was really invaluable as our older shelter cats were still getting used to each other. We so appreciate how very patient, caring and loving Liz and Peter were with them. We returned to happy cats, a well-looked after and clean home and thriving garden. They are welcome to sit for us anytime in the future (or just stay as welcomed guests when visiting Melbourne next time), and we would highly recommend them to other pet owners! Thank you! Dorothée & Jens

It was a delight to have Jade to house-sit for us and our two spaniels. Jade is such a charming person. She is polite, kind and very smiley, and the dogs took to her sraight away. She gave them lots of affection, and masses of exercise (despite the rain and mud!). When we got home the house was so clean and tidy you would never had known that Jade had even been there. We would love to have Jade house-sit for us again and have no hesitation in recommending her to other owners.

Alexis and Umar were perfect in every way - extremely friendly and conscientious, respectul and reliable. We were kept updated constantly with plenty of pictures of Smolz being spoilt with hugs and attention, our entire time away was at ease as we knew our little girl was so well cared for. We cannot overstate how accomodating and informative Alexis and Umar were throughout their sit and we returned to our home tidier than when we left it. Thank you both for being such wonderful sitters and we recommend them wholly to any future prospective sitters!!

Terry was perfect as a pet sitter and at looking after our house. She communicated well before and during the sit and the house was spotless when we returned. We would definitely like Terry to sit again if she is ever available.

Tracey was an excellent house sitter. We were leaving early and she was more than happy to let herself in which was great. We felt comfortable leaving Bear with Tracey and she kept us updated with photos and videos. When we came home, Tracey had left the place spotless and stripped the bed and washed the bed sheets. Would highly recommend Tracey to anyone looking for a house sitter. She even left us all a Christmas present which was so lovely to come home to.
