Availability

I work full time (usually 9-5) in an office and live in Southsea. If you are flexible with times I think we will be a great match, but even if you are not please still drop me a message and I will see what I can do. I tend to walk everywhere, but I do own a car so I can drive around Portsmouth easily. I prefer to stay on Portsea Island, but I am willing to travel to Cosham / Paulsgrove / Drayton for bookings for that are a weeklong or over. Please drop me a message anytime if you have any questions or want to get some dates in the diary.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a flat with no access to a garden, if you were to book daycare at mine I believe my living situation would only be suitable to look after small dogs and cats. I can of course walk them as many times as you need me too. I would prefer to come to your house if possible, where I will of course respect it as if it were my own.

Information Jennifer D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your pet’s behaviour around new people and if they have any dietary or special requirements and their usual daily routines.

A typical day

I live in Southsea so conveniently close to the beach and the common for long walks away from the city traffic. I will try to mentally stimulate them through games with their toys, and just leave them to it when they’ve had enough of me! Your pets can always expect lots of fuss and attention from me, and clean bowls and litter (if a cat).

Expert Care When You’re Not There!

Pet care experience

⭐️⭐️ Thank you all for your positive reviews over the last year! Since starting in March 2025, I quickly gained Star Sitter status and have maintained this by being reliable, trustworthy, and communicating clearly before and during bookings. I have had many returning customers to which I am very grateful - please have a look at my various 5* reviews to help you decide if you want to choose me. Due to Rover deducting a fee, my prices are a little higher to reflect this and the 5* quality of my service. ⭐️⭐️ Prior to every booking we can set up a Meet and Greet where I will come to your house to meet you and your pets, and to hopefully put your mind at ease that they will be in safe hands whilst you're away. Meet and Greets are not obligatory and many owners leave their keys hidden somewhere outside their house - it is completely up to you and what you feel comfortable doing. I have grown up around animals so I am comfortable and relaxed in their presence. Sadly I don't have any pets myself, so I genuinely love getting the opportunity to spend time with yours. I have experience caring for various breeds of dogs, administering oral medication and walking/training energetic puppies and large dogs. I have looked after many cats of varying ages and needs, and even the shyest or moodiest cats tend to warm to me quickly. 🦮🐾🐈

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
