Pet care experience

Animal and outdoors lover looking to dog sit.

Dog-sitting in Hampshire and London area. I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. My family has always had several dogs at home, with dad raising dogs for a living. From taking them for a walk to feeding and play time, that is more than a past time for me. I spend a lot of my time on the outdoors, especially walking and cycling around Hampshire and London when I’m in town for work. I have been dog-sitting in London for the past two years, providing your beloved pets with lots attention , cuddle times are mandatory and long walkies a must ! From huskies to poodles and whippets and greyhounds I have taken care to many different breeds and will always send you pictures and updates while you’re away :) I recently moved in Fareham/ Portsmouth area and am looking forwards to continue dog-sitting here as I love to spend my time with our lovely companions. I do accept overnight bookings in London as well seeing as I go into the capital every week for work.

Safety, trust & environment

I will make sure that your pets are well looked after in your home, making sure that they get plenty of playtime and walks, but as well relaxing time. As I work remotely, I always have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. As I have grown up around dogs with a dad raising and training dogs, I am used to any kind of pets.

Carole has been absolutely fantastic. She took on an extra day as we were in trouble with flights home due to strike action. She was brilliant with the dogs - that is not easy with 3 lively Springer Spaniels. They lived her. She sent me regular updates and photos so I coukd see the dogs weren't only OK, but happy. I will certainly ask her again!

What an amazing person Carol is! She is a great dog handler and looked after our two boxers so well. They have completely different personalities and need mental stimulation and Carol was able to give this to them

Carole looked after Archie and our house very well. He was very well cared for and was very happy while we were on holiday. The updates and photos put our mind at ease. His every need was attended to and he had lots of fun, playtime and exercise. This was great value for money and definitely preferable to leaving him in a kennels or similar. Would definitely recommend Carole.

House Sitting • Apr 09, 2024

Carole is a lovely friendly lady and was brilliant with our Husky, Teddy. He took to her straight away. We have never used a pet sitter before and we were a bit nervous as Teddy can be anxious when on walks but Carole was great with him. Carole sent us daily photos and updates and also looked after the cat. We are already arranging to use her again.

Carole looked after our miniature schnauzer for the day. She arrived on time and was great with our dog. I will definitely recommend as a dog sitter
