Reliable Pet Care, Tailored for You
Hi! I'm Poppy, I'm 21 and I am a dog sitter/ groomer based in Southbourne. I've been sitting with Rover since 2023, and I have years of experience that bring confidence in providing top-notch service. From looking after dogs while you're away to sharing my home with a mix of pets of all sizes and personalities, I've got the knack for tailoring care to each furball's quirks. Beyond homes, I've volunteered on farms and sanctuaries, learning the ropes of animal behaviour. Each experience, including my last dog and best friend of ten years, has shaped me into an attentive and energetic carer. With an intuitive relationship with dogs and a confidence in my ability to handle whatever challenges they bring, you can feel at ease knowing your companion is in the right hands.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Absolute star! Not only did she take great care of our boy Dillon while we were at work, but she also did desensitising sessions for his nails clipping, which were magic! Dill always rushed up to her door, even giving a little impatient woof to get to see her. Couldn't recommend more highly and if we're back in Bournemouth we're booking straight away again!
Raven had the best time. Communication was good.
Poppy T. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Poppy is great with our energetic Chuck. She follows our instructions and is great with communication and updates. Chuck very much enjoyed his stay ☺️
Poppy was amazing! Provided loads of updates and when I collected Max he was a very happy boy! Would definitely recommend and will be booking with her again ☺️
Poppy's great with our energetic pup. She is very responsive and managed to fit us in last minute for a walk with Chuck.

Schedule
I work as a dog groomer, so i will be able to take your pup to the salon with me during my work days. They have access to water, treats, and a secure separate area if needed, and can be walked in the nearby park during my breaks and before/ after work.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a walled off yard with a small grassy area for potty breaks at any time, and also live about 30 seconds from a huge park with plenty of open space and wooded areas, and can also walk down to the beach (dog friendly areas) for any dogs that love a paddle in the sea. Pets will be allowed on the furniture/ bed unless you ask for them not to be, and I have dog bowls for food and water and a bunch of toys to keep your dogs entertained. However, please please feel free to bring your own if it makes your pet more comfortable. Please provide your dog's food and a collar/ harness, lead and crate (if they require a crate). I'm always stocked up with dog bags and treats of my own, and have spare collars/ leads in case of a malfunction or issue with any of the equipment you've provided.
A typical day
I love to cater to each dog's individual needs so they can feel more stable when they're in an unfamiliar environment and with a strange person. Whatever end of the doggy hobby spectrum they're on, whether they love running around in huge open areas, having fun at the beach, exploring the exciting smells in the woods, plodding along on a nice consistent path, snoozing on the sofa, playing tug of war or fetch, or anything else I'll plan our day around their usual routine. I can even work on training certain skill/ tricks with them at your request, or help with younger pups learning recall, house training and other essential skills for the first time.
