Caring & trustworthy animal lover

Retired

Hi, I'm Rosie, based in Wiltshire & I've recently retired from a career as a nanny & maternity nurse. During Covid I trained & worked as a vaccinator. I've worked in numerous different houses, many with pets, I am calm & practical & very adaptable to new situations.

I love all animals & have loved & cared for many dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs & hedgehogs. I have also had experience with larger mammals including alpacas, sheep & pigs, also with chickens & other fowl. I am happy to feed reptiles & arachnids, but wouldn't want to handle them!

I have house & pet sat for friends & families I have worked for & understand how difficult it is to leave pets while you go away & the importance of knowing that they will be safe & happy staying in their own home. I will also make sure they have lots of fun & cuddles.

I used to foster puppies while caring for 4 of my own dogs. I now have a very calm, non shedding labradoodle who will sometimes sit with me if permitted.

I am a keen gardener & love nature & the outdoors & walking whatever the weather. I like to visit gardens opened up through the National Garden Scheme.

I am a non smoker, trustworthy & will care for your pets & home as I would my own.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Rosie looked after our dog Nell and small holding which included a greenhouse, for two weeks. The first night we were away and couldn’t be contacted , forty steers invaded our property. Rosie immediately used her initiative found the local farmer’s name in our trades book and they were promptly removed thus averting a lot of damage to our property. She also sorted out a couple of minor issues. Our dog was happy and well looked after and we received pictures to confirm this. On our return ... MORE
 
CYNTHIA (Haverfordwest Wales, Sep 2024 - 2 weeks 2 nights)
This was our first experience of using Housesitters and couldn't be more pleased with how everything worked out. Rosie took care of our house, 2 dogs, 1 cat and garden for four weeks. From the first moment we talked on the phone I felt very comfortable and confident to leave everything in her care. Throughout the sit we had updates and photos so felt at ease that our pets were safe and happy. We came back to a clean and organised house and flourishing plants. Thanks Rosie for ... MORE
 
ANNA (Bingley England, Jul 2024 - 4 weeks)
Rosie was wonderful! We had great communication prior to her arrival and then we met her on the day of our departure and was able to introduce her to our dogs, show her round the house and garden and give her a full briefing on everything. She was very friendly and relaxed and the dogs warmed to her immediately. We left for our holiday feeling very and happy and reassured that we were leaving everything in safe hands. Whilst away she messaged us to let us know everything was OK and sent us ... MORE

Rosie looked after our dog Paddy and our house for 11 days and was amazing. We managed to meet before she came and I just knew that everything would be fine. She left the house really clean and tidy and Paddy had obviously had a great time in her care. I hope that we can arrange another house sit with her next time we need somebody.

JADE (Andover England, Apr 2024 - 1 week 3 nights)
Rosie was a great house and pet sitter. Our dog was very well looked after and she enjoyed spending time with her dog. The house was left clean and today and we had lots of communication and pictures while we were away. Would definitely recommend Rosie and we will be asking her back when we go away again.
 
CHRISSIE (Chichester England, Mar 2024 - 1 week)
Rosie was a brilliant sitter. All the animals loved her —the dogs warmed to her immediately— and the house was clean and tidy when I got back. I would have Rosie back in a heart beat.
 
JENNIFER (Faversham England, Feb 2024 - 1 week 4 nights)
We went away feeling totally relaxed that Rosie was in charge of our house and 3 dogs. Previous to the sit, her communications was always excellent and she kindly came over twice to learn the ropes etc. Our house is old and full of strange foibles and she coped with power cuts and mini floods admirably! We returned home to an immaculate house and 3 very happy and settled dogs. Rosie is a wonderful person and I would not hesitate to recommend her!
 
WILLA (Stockbridge England, Feb 2024 - 2 weeks)
I can’t rate Rosie highly enough. She sent us pictures of the dogs throughout and we were assured our dogs were very happy. Our home was clean and tidy on our return and the dogs clearly had a great time.
 
LESLEY (King's Lynn England, Jan 2024 - 1 week 3 nights)
Rosie provided excellent care for our border collie during our week-long holiday abroad; a scenario where one truly wants to be at ease, and we were. She is friendly and professional, a delight to have a chat with, and it was easy to see she, as she had informed us, has tons of experience with a variety of breeds/dogs and their needs. Her retired emotional support dog, Teddy, was also just the sweetest dog we’ve ever met. As such, we have no hesitation recommending Rosie (and Teddy!) to anyone ... MORE
 
RAGNAR (London England, Jan 2024 - 1 week 1 night)
Wonderful Rosie was the ideal Housesitter for our house and animals. Proof was the fact that our wary Bernese happily walked with her every day and the gekko was cossetted. We got lots of lovely photos and reports and will ask her again as our first choice in future.
 
ALISON (Brockenhurst , Dec 2023 - 1 week 2 nights)
Rosie did a fantastic job looking after Leo, we came home to a very content cat! We met Rosie in advance - we had a lovely coffee and chat with her before we left and found Rosie really easy to get on with. We had some lovely photos of Leo whilst away! And we came home to a spotless house. We’d really recommend Rosie.
 
ESTHER (Godalming England, Oct 2023 - 4 nights)
Highly recommend Rosie. Came home to two happy hounds and a clean and tidy house. Organising the sit was hassle free with easy and clear communication. The dogs were immediately at ease with Rosie, and her adorable helper Teddy. I went off on holiday with peace of mind that my precious pooches were in safe hands, and messages whilst I was away reassured me all was well. Special thanks to Rosie for taking such good care of both my pups. I would have no hesitation in booking Rosie again in the ... MORE
