Plant Family Pet Sitting UK

08/10/2023

Are you looking for someone to care for your pets while you are away over Christmas?

Would you prefer to have someone stay at your home with your pets rather than them having the stress of being put in kennels or boarded in someone else's house?

We can help.

We are based in Cheshire and are available from 16th December onwards.

I'm Rachael and my 11 year old daughter, Francesca and I have been house and pet sitting through the housesittersuk site for 4 years and have had amazing experiences and received great reviews.

We have experience of looking after lots of different kinds of dogs of varying temperaments/sizes/needs which includes:

- rescue dogs
- reactive dogs
- anxious dogs
- older dogs
- dogs with health issues requiring medication

We are true animal lovers and treat all the pets we care for as if they were our own.

Francesca in particular loves dogs (that is how we got into pet sitting) and is very confident with them.

We also love cats, in fact, we love all animals and would be very happy to look after them with experience of caring for goats, chickens, birds, fish, reptiles, hamsters, rabbits and guinea pigs.
I am self employed and work online and Francesca is home educated so we are not restricted to term time dates.

The rate we charge for our services ranges from £0-£50 per night depending on the type and number of animals and the level of care required.

If caring for dogs this would include 2 x 30 minute walks per day.

WE PROVIDE:

- DBS check
- Insurance
- Pet First Aid certificate
- Excellent references
- Excellent care for your pets and home
- Lots of walks and playtime
- A calm environment with lots of cuddles and attention for your pets
- Excellent communication throughout the sit with daily photos and updates
- Your home left clean and tidy for your return

WE REQUIRE:

- Full written/printed/emailed instructions on how to care for your pets and home - including daily routines, feeding, medication etc.
- A good internet connection
- Your home left clean, tidy and secure for us

Please get in touch if we can help and we can arrange a video call to virtually meet you and your pets, chat about what you need and see if we are a good fit.

We are happy to do a meet and greet in person before the sit if you are close enough.

Imagine being able to relax and enjoy your holiday knowing your much loved pets are happy and secure being looked after by trustworthy, experienced animal lovers in their own home.

We are pet sitting locally this week for a 2 year old lab who is full of fun and has bags of energy.

I have to wait in for an electrician at my house so I have brought her here and she is happily exploring the garden.

What pet owners are saying about us...🐕‍🦺🐈🦜🦆🐇🐁🦔

Choosing a pet sitter rather kennels or a dog boarder might cost you a bit more but its a like you choosing a nanny over a nursery for your child.

You know your fur baby is going to get one-to-one care and attention in their own familiar environment without the stress of adapting to a new place, lots of different people and unfamilar dogs.

It reduces the stress considerably for both you and them.

Lots of the dogs we care for we go back to time and again so we have built up familiarity and trust with them and they are as pleased to see us as we are to see them.

They are still a bit sad when their owners go and are sometimes quiet for a day or two but we help them through it and what really helps is them having their familiar routine in an environment they feel safe in.

Which also helps their owners have a more relaxed holiday.

Another lovely review on our Rover.com profile🙏😍

This is Mia.

she just might be the prettiest, most playful and most affectionate little cat I have ever met.

She is an absolute joy.

She is half ragdoll and I can really see those traits in her as she trots around the house after me like a little dog. 😻

As well as booking with us directly you can also book our pet sitting services through Rover.com.

Although they take a fee there can be benefits to booking through a 3rd party such as their booking protection policy and the Rover Guarantee (set out below).

I do have my own separate pet sitting insurance but this should give pet owners additional peace of mind should anything unforeseen happen whilst they are away.

This was a really fun sit we did a few weeks ago in Suffolk looking after 4 gorgeous dogs. We were so busy keeping up with them all at the time I didn't get chance to upload any photos until now!

So lovely to receive this fab review and we are looking forward to spending time with Millie the labrador and the rabbits again next week.🐾🐕🐰🐰

We are pet sitting a lovely, gentle dog called Bisto in Twickenham this week.

He is an absolute joy and so laid back which is a bit of a contrast from last week looking after 4 small and extremely energetic dogs (I didn't even have time to upload any photos yet we that busy with them!).

This week looks like being a bit more sedate and relaxing just hanging out at home with Bisto and taking him for walks at the nature reserve near his house. Unfortunately he has developed some arthritis so we have to keep the walks quite short but we take him a couple of times a day.

This is our 3rd visit to look after Bisto so he is really getting to know us well.

Francesca saying a last goodbye to Charlie. We even got some sunshine for our final day. 💛

This is pretty much us at the moment 🐈🐕

It was lovely to get such a great review from our latest pet sitting assignment. We loved spending time with Charlie and are looking forward to going back to see him.🐾

HOUSE & PETTING SITTING SERVICE

Hi, I'm Rachael and my 10 year old daughter, Francesca and I love travelling around the UK whilst house sitting and caring for pets.

We are experienced in looking after dogs though don't have our own as we have been borrowing other people's dogs through borrowmydoggy.com for a few years now. We have also been house & pet sitting through www.housesittersuk.co.uk for around 4 years and have great reviews on there.

My daughter loves dogs and is very confident with them. We also love cats and have 3 of our own - Yogi, Jonah and Mia (we have family nearby who look after them whilst we are away). In fact we love all animals and would be happy to look after them with experience of caring for goats, birds, fish, hamsters, rabbits and guinea pigs.

We are based in Cheshire and have a car.

I am self employed and work online so would need a good internet connection. Francesca is home educated so we are not restricted to term time dates.

We are quiet and tidy and would be very respectful of your home.

I can provide:

- Recent DBS check
- Insurance
- References
- Excellent care of your pets and home

Please message to ask about our rates and availability.

PLEASE NOTE:

This is a house & pet sitting services only which means we look after your pets in your own home overnight.

We don't offer boarding in our home or a drop in service to feed or walk pets.

Lots of excitement yesterday when we were out walking Charlie, the cocker spaniel we are sitting for this week, when Francesca found some frog spawn in a field (we're not sure how it got there) and put into the stream.

Chilling with a hot chocolate and Charlie, the dog we're looking after this week, after a walk in the snow and some fun building a snowman

We had an amazing house and pet sit with this bunch near Stockport - 3 dogs and 6 cats all lovely natured and such a calm house considering there were so many of them. It was an absolute pleasure to look after them all. This is the fourth time we have done this sit and we always look forward to going back.

Having fun in Llangollen this week with the lovely Ted. He is the only dog I've ever met who hides at the mention of the word 'walkies' 😆
We usually manage to coax his out from under the sofa though and he loves a good walk by the river once he gets going.
