Pet Sitting Andover

About: Hi, I’m Beth! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have grown up surrounded by them. As a baby my family owned chow chows, then we had guinea pigs, rabbits, fish and my parents now have a border collie spaniel cross who I like to call Lunatic! Helping with training Luna from a puppy sparked my passion for dog behaviour, I loved learning how to better understand dogs, communicate with them, and watch them grow in confidence. Luna is now 9 and I have now moved into my own home, but I still care for her regularly. However, as she is older and likes her own space she won’t be here when boarding other dogs. My partner and I recently finished fostering a rescue dog, which was such a rewarding experience. She arrived terrified of people and the outdoors, but with patience, care and positive training, she grew into a much happier and more confident dog. I know how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet with someone else, so I’ll always keep you updated with plenty of photos, videos and messages so you can see how much fun they’re having while in my care. I currently work full-time in a hybrid role, with just one office day on Tuesdays and the rest of the week spent working from home. I also live with my partner who works fully remote. We both absolutely love dogs and if needed he is happy to help! We have a secure fenced garden for safe outdoor time and plenty of space indoors for relaxing, playing and cuddles. Our home is currently pet and child free, which can be especially helpful for dogs who prefer a calmer environment or need their own space. Dogs are very much treated like part of the family here and are welcome on the furniture and in any room they feel comfortable in. I’ll always do my best to make them feel safe, settled and at home. I also understand how important consistency is for dogs, so I’m more than happy to follow your usual routines, rules and any crating instructions if needed.

“What an absolute legend. Jade accommodated my request for a last minute booking and I’m so grateful. Jade is extremely tidy and followed a detailed meds plan with ease. The cats (Gertrude & Freya) both want to thank Jade too for being kind and gentle and looking after them whilst I was away on business. Don’t scroll by…..book Jade and know your animals are in safe hands.”

About: I grew up with two beautiful Burmese cats, and a tortoise, so I have always loved animals. I frequently look after my friend's Pomeranian, as well as other friends' cats. I work from home and am freelance so set my own working patterns and am always at home. That means I'll always be there as company for your cat or dog, and available to walk a dog as needed. I have a fenced garden so dogs can't escape. My house is in a quiet, peaceful neighbourhood, not near a main road so animals find it calm here. There are no other animals or children in the house.

“Victoria did an amazing job looking after my cat. Quinn is an anxious cat who tends to hide from people but she warmed up to Victoria while she was visiting. Even allowing her a pet or two. Would definitely recommend.”

“Stephanie is fantastic. She has a lot of experience, and is kind, patient and gentle with our nervous pup. We have already re-booked her and would definitely recommend!”

“Katherine is absolutely phenomenal! From the moment she stepped in, Leo was instantly at ease which says a lot, considering how picky he can be. She is incredibly attentive, reliable, and clearly have a genuine love for animals. Daily updates, adorable photos, and thoughtful care made us feel completely confident and relaxed while we were away.”

About: I had my gorgeous cocker spaniel dog from the age of 10-22, he unfortunately passed away a in May 2023 and since then I have been desperate to look after other dogs and to continue the activities that I did with mine. I am sporty and active, so dog walking and playing with them is an easy yes from me! I am completely aware and knowledgable of the health and safety guides for dogs! My boyfriend also has a boxer dog who I am extremely friendly and attached with so bigger and stronger dogs are not an issue for me. I am currently living at my family home for the next year after finishing university and am looking to fulfil my time here with caring for and walking dogs whenever possible! I have a fenced garden and chicken wire all around the bushes to prevent escaping or accidental wondering off - I own a huge field perfect for walking by my house which connects to other walking fields to walk by and play around safely - everything is walking distance but also living near other amazing places to walk your dogs

About: Please note: as I am currently pregnant, I’ll be reducing my availability. Bookings will be considered on a case-by-case basis depending on length and individual needs. Thank you for your understanding 🤍 Growing up in a household filled with a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, mice, hamsters, and reptiles, I developed a love and understanding of animals from a young age. This led me to pursue a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management at college, where I expanded my skills and knowledge in animal care. During the summers between college, I gained hands-on experience working at a local kennels and cattery, where I was responsible for the day-to-day care of numerous cats and dogs. In addition to my work at the kennels, I also spent time on a small holding, working closely with a diverse range of animals such as horses, pigs, goats, donkeys, and chickens. Currently, I am the proud owner of a family dog and a pet leopard gecko, continuing my lifelong journey of caring for and learning about animals. I am based in Andover but work full time in Stockbridge. I am available for overnight stays, morning and evening walks/drop ins. Overnight stays can be any day of the week but I will have to be in the office between 9-5. If needed, we are a dog friendly office and any doggos would be welcome to come for the day. I am a responsible and trustworthy individual who always has the pets best interest at heart. I am respectful of other peoples homes and understand that a pet is a member of the family

About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs - from tiny chihuahuas to great weimaraners! My family have always kept dogs as pets so I have a lot of personal experience. If any one needs a dog sitter (friends, family, neighbours) I am the go to. My regular clients include: 🐾 Pete the Romanian street dog - a senior rescue who I have taken care of since he was just 14 months (he is now 10!). At nearly 30kg, he still thinks he's king of the streets and has some high needs, including lots of play time, long walks and private feeding. A total softie and sweetheart all round. 🐾 Dudley the jackapoo, Lottie the cockapoo, Woody the labradoodle and Rhea the frenchie - these four all live together and have varying needs. Woody being the biggest naturally needs the longest and an extra walk a day, as well as Lottie who is incredibly high energy. She can play fetch until your arm falls off! Dudley is an old man now who needs extra care due to his cataracts and Rhea is a spritely young thing who needs to remain separated from the others at all times. 🐾 Howard the frenchie - Howard is a very laid back and loving frenchie who is now 7. I've known him since he was a pup and although hes not quite an old man yet, his careplan has been adjusted to meet his slowing pace. He still loves playtime but also loves to cuddle up on the sofa and share the bed at night. 🐾 Bella the golden retriever - Bella is another older dog who I've looked after since she was a puppy. The old girl will surprise you though, she's still as active as she was when she was small. I also use to provide care for he little brother Dudley, a black labrador. They use to do everything together, even walks but he sadly passed away. I can currently only provide house sitting on weekends but I can offer walks and drop ins all day, everyday. I hope to offer boarding and day care soon. I have a large garden and my house backs onto ladies walk so plenty of space to run around and lovely countryside for long walks. I have my own small dog (cavapoo), he is friendly but if your dog doesnt like other dogs, I have the means to keep them separated. There is space for a crate if that's what your dog prefers. We usually go for walks morning and evening but this can be adjusted where necessary.

About: I frequently care for and walk my sister's Golden Retriever, Monty. In addition to my personal experience with dogs, I have recently returned from volunteering at Udruga Farmica, a non-profit animal shelter that currently cares for 132 dogs, 1 cat, 3 cows, 6 sheep, 2 donkeys, 2 ponies, and 4 pigs. I volunteered there for 3 months this year, having previously spent one month volunteering in December. It was an incredibly rewarding and meaningful experience that allowed me to gain hands-on experience in animal care, including feeding, administering medication, accompanying animals on veterinary visits, exercising dogs through regular walks, and providing enrichment through play and social interaction. Many of the dogs at the shelter had previously lived as street strays and, as a result, often displayed a range of behavioural challenges. Through my volunteering, I learned how to adapt my approach to suit each dog’s individual needs, helping them build trust and confidence while supporting basic training and positive behavioural development.I would be happy to provide a personal reference from the manager of the organisation upon request. Last year, I made the decision to resign from my role as a Funeral Arranger in order to pursue my passion for travel and animal welfare. This led me to spend time abroad volunteering at a very special animal shelter in Croatia, where I gained invaluable hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. Having recently returned to the UK, I am currently helping my sister care for her children while my brother-in-law is working away. Two of the children have additional needs, which has further strengthened my patience, adaptability, and caring nature. As my support is provided on a flexible basis, I currently have full availability and can accommodate a wide range of working hours, including weekdays, evenings, weekends, and short-notice bookings. I understand that every pet is unique and that entering a pet’s home means stepping into their safe space and established routine. When caring for a dog or cat in someone else’s home, I take the time to learn their individual needs, habits, likes, dislikes, and any special requirements they may have. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and household rules to ensure consistency and minimise stress while their owners are away. Safety is always my highest priority. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure, remove any potential hazards, and remain attentive to changes in behaviour that may indicate discomfort, illness, or anxiety. I understand that pets can feel unsettled when their owners are absent, so I focus on creating a calm, reassuring environment where they feel comfortable and secure. Whether that means energetic walks and playtime for an active dog or quiet companionship and gentle affection for a senior cat, I adapt my approach to suit each animal’s personality. My goal is not only to meet a pet’s basic needs but to ensure they feel loved, safe, and happy while maintaining the routines and standards of care they are accustomed to. I treat every animal as if they were my own and every home with the same respect and care that I would expect for my own.

“Booked Zoe last minute for two drop-in visits having only been able to send her an instruction video and I thought everything went really well. My instructions were followed and I got regular updates and pictures. Would definitely recommend! Pierre”

“So grateful to Hazel! First time leaving Milo home for so long and him being a nervous cat we were worried about how he'd manage but Hazel was very lovely and professional, she always made me feel reassured Milo was in good hands. Kept me updated everyday with a message and photos! Will definitely contact Hazel again for next time! Thank you! ”

About: I’ve had dogs & cats all my life! I love how their different personalities shine through 😀 I currently have 1 rescue dog & 2 indoor cats plus a tortoise!

I work from home every day so can be flexible & available most days. I walk my dog every day either before work or at lunch time 😀 I have a fully enclosed garden with grass which my dog won’t mind sharing with another dog-friendly dog ☺️ my cats are dog savvy but will keep themselves to themselves! I don’t mind where the pets go, happy for them to sleep on the floor or the sofa!
