Professional house and pet sitter, UK and international

Your pets stay home. I move in.

I'm a full-time professional house and pet sitter, travelling the UK with Coco, my calm 8-year-old standard poodle. DBS-checked, fully insured and pet first-aid trained. So your home stays lived-in, and your pets stay loved and looked after, keeping to their own routine while you're away.

What homeowners say

★★★★★

Michelle and Martin · Newcastle upon Tyne

The care she gave to our elderly lab Tom was second to none. He is old with additional medical issues and we couldn't have left him in safer hands.

★★★★★

Joanna · Wye

Michelle was in our house for three weeks, looking after our dog Finn, and we came back to a very happy, relaxed dog and a house cleaner and tidier than when she arrived!

★★★★★

Jo and James · Ely

Michelle communicated perfectly both in the runup and throughout the sit so we felt very comfortable with her taking care of our beloved dog and home. We came back to a happy hound, perfectly clean house and she'd even baked us a focaccia!

Who you're trusting with your home

Ten years as an NHS A&E nurse and five as an Airbnb Superhost: I stay calm when the unexpected happens. If a pet falls ill at 2am or a pipe bursts on a Sunday, I handle it, and let you know once it is sorted.

I take pets as they come, young and daft or old and slow. Medication, ear drops, eye drops and nail clips are no trouble. Whoever you leave behind, my priority is keeping their routine exactly as you set it.

They keep their own bed, their own space and their own routine, with me stepping in to fill the bowl and keep them company. I will send photos and videos as often as you like, so you can enjoy being away instead of worrying about home.

Role

Chief House-Sitter & Travel Companion

Coco is the reason this whole adventure works. After years of me fostering other dogs, she has become the most easy going, unflappable companion. Her superpower is making other pets feel at ease. She comes with me on UK sits and is calm and easy with other dogs and cats. If your pets need to be the only animals in the house, unfortunately I am not the right sitter for you.
