Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving and fun care of your pet(s) ❤️
We are Lee and Sonya, an older couple (early 50s and mid 60s) living in the BH9 area of Winton. We are very close to lots of lovely dog walking places and are happy to drive further afield for doggy walks too. We’re used to walking dogs of all ages and most sizes (small, medium and not too large). We also have 2 quite elderly cats but they can be secluded away safely when your doggy is visiting or staying with us. We can take your dog(s) for walks locally - we usually go to Winton Rec, Redhill Park and Meyrick Park or, for longer walks, we go to Canford Sang, Wareham Forest and the New Forest. We sadly said goodbye to Buster, our lovely Belgian Malinois doggy of 13 years, in April 2025. We’re not ready to have a new doggie yet, but there is a big space in our hearts and we’d love to enjoy walking your dog so please let us know if you would like to book time with us. We love walking and especially dog walking. We’re confident and capable with all dog breeds and available for dog sitting and boarding while you’re away. We look forward to meeting you and your dog(s)! 😊

Ratings and reviews
Sonya looked after our 3 quite demanding dogs, an old Border Terrier with dementia and two minature dachhounds !! Despite our worries, as we know how difficult they can be, Sonya dealt with them like it was a breeze. All of the boys were perfectly looked after and she made us feel very comfortable with her looking after them. We shall definitely be using Sonya again.
We were really happy with Sonya. She popped in twice a day while we were away, and it was such a relief knowing our cat was being well looked after. We really appreciated the photo and video updates, and Sonya left our house clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.
Thank you so much for looking after Daley, she came home so chilled and I am sure she would love to come and see you again 🐾🦮
Short weekend away, cats were very well cared for. Would highly recommend and book again!
Archie was so well looked after and the communication was great. Thank you so much, he’ll definitely stay again 🥰 🐶
Sonya looked after our dog for 6 nights in her home whilst we were away. She also did drop in visits to our rabbit in our home. We couldn't be happier with how both pets were looked after. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was being walked, played with and cared for like he was part of Sonya's family. We had daily photos, videos and messages from Sonya to say how he was getting on. Our bunny was also very well looked after and we had photos of him too. Thank you again, we won't hesitate to book when we next go away.

I’m retired so have lots of free time, especially now my doggy has gone so I can fit in with most times you need my support. Sonya
