In-home pet sitting

Love and fuss, where they're most content

Do you know a dog’s #1 need? Feeling safe. And where do they feel most secure? In the comfort of their own home.

As your in-home petsitter, I help your dog stick to their usual routine and soak up all the familiar smells, toys, and cozy beds—minimizing stress and anxiety while you're away. Think of me as your pup’s personal concierge, delivering cuddles, belly rubs, and all the care they crave.

Got a big, active dog? Even better! I specialise in spirited pups who thrive with structure, outdoor adventures, and natural leadership. With me, they get more than love—they get the exercise, attention, and engagement they need to stay happy and balanced.

My time is fully dedicated to your dog. I never combine sits or walk other dogs during your booking.

Please note I offer my services exclusively in the EU, more specifically the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, and Italy.

What's included

Cuddles, play, playdates, walks, feeding, grooming, medication, trips to the vet
Watering your plants
Home care (happy to clean after your dog; not the entire house)
Knowing your home is occupied adds an extra layer of security
I look after your dog, and your home, as if they were my own
Have cats? No problem, I'm happy to serve them too!

Horses, small farm animals

I focus my care on dogs (and cats), but occasionally take on clients with horses and small farm animals. Contact me to see if I can help.

How it works

Contact me: Reach out to me for rates and available dates
Set up a call: We'll schedule a Facetime call to get to know each other and see if we're a good match. If I happen to be in the area, I'm happy to come by for a quick chat in person
Plan my stay: Once we've confirmed, I'll plan my stay to arrive before you leave. This way, we can have a thorough briefing on all your pets’ needs and preferences or take them for a walk
Pet care: During my stay, I'll take care of your dog (and cats) as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the love, attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I may go out for lunch, a meeting or shopping but never leave your pets alone longer than they are used to. Your pets are my priority, not a holiday
Regular updates: I'll send you regular updates and adorable photos, giving you peace of mind knowing they're happy and healthy
Quick debrief: When you return, we'll have a short debrief to discuss how everything went. Then, I'm out of your hair!
Life goes back to normal: With your pets well taken care of and you back home, life can go back to its usual routine

I can't wait to meet your tribe!

What other pet parents
are saying

"Hester did the most fantastic job with our two dogs. They were so well cared for with regular updates which put our mind at ease. She left our home spotless! We can't recommend Hester enough and will absolutely book her again!"

Emily D

"Hester was amazing. She sent us regular updates while we were away. The house was really tidy when we returned and Lola and Missy were so happy and calm. We felt at ease knowing that Hester was taking care of them. We're already booking her for a next holiday!"

Lucy & Dimitri

"I have two labs. The young one, Sandy, is lovely but needs a lot of exercise or she gets up to all kinds of mischief. Hester did a great job keeping her happy while observing the needs of her older sibling, Marley, who likes to take things a bit slower. I also appreciated Hester staying on top o Sandy's allergy and the updates and pictures while I was away."

Chris H

"Hester was wonderful and very flexible, taking over the last few days of our holiday from another sitter. Digby clearly loved her. At only 11 months old he's bouncy and cheeky but we found him calm and relaxed when we returned. Also, our house was wonderfully clean and tidy. We wouldn't hesitate to ask Hester back again!"

Freya K

"We couldn't bear to put Ralph into a kennel when we went on holiday and are so glad that we met Hester. She was so thorough with her advance visit, checklist and experience. It meant we could enjoy our holiday without worrying about our beloved dog. She took such good care of him that he really didn't want her to go. Thank you Hester for being such a good companion to our dog. We will definitely be giving you a call again!"
