“Very happy with Lauren, the cats were well cared for and she asked lots of questions about their care. Contacted me about any questions or problems with the cats. Thank you so much! Will definitely want Lauren to look after them again!”


“Ella has been the absolute best with my little cat Willow. Willow has grown so fond of Ella, and I can confidently say she’s probably become Willow’s second favourite human. ☺️ Ella was super informative and responsive, I felt reassured knowing she was looking after Willow whilst I was away. The best pet sitter I’ve ever hired for Willow, thank you!”


About: Hey! I’m Nicole, and I moved to Basingstoke with my husband and our Labrador, Luna, in 2024! I’ve grown up with rescue dogs, and have now had Luna for four years. I often take care of friends and families’ dogs - walking, overnight stays and drop-in visits. I have cared for dogs from puppies through to seniors and love all types of dogs! I work mainly from home, and have some flexibility in my working hours, meaning I am available for morning, lunchtime and evenings during the week, as well as having some availability at the weekends. I am very happy to chat about your specific requirements! Luna is six years old, so I am very used to going on lots of walks and keeping her entertained! Luna can join us on walks, or I would be happy to walk your dog alone if preferred! I am also more than happy to take pictures and send you updates, as well as arrange a meet and greet beforehand.

About: Hi, I’m 23 and grew up around cats and dogs – I currently walk dogs for family and friends in my spare time around work, and I’d love to help more local pet owners who need an extra hand. I currently work full time but my hours are flexible throughout the days so with a short message in advance I’ll be available to help! Whatever your fur baby requires for their safety will be the top priority for me, I am more than happy to let them off the lead if that’s normal for them, on the other hand if they don’t like going outside I’m happy to play with them indoors, you tell me what they need and I can assist!

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve had years of hands-on experience with a variety of pets, including dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s going on long walks, belly rubs, or simple keeping pets company while you’re away, I always provide the same level of care and attention I would want for my own pets. I’m comfortable with all ages and energy levels - from playful puppies to senior pets needing a bit more patience and gentle care. I understand how important it is to stick to your pets usual routine and provide a calm, safe, and loving environment while you’re away. Your pets comfort, safety and happiness are my top priorities. I treat every animal as if they’re part of my own family, and I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos and messages to give you a peace of mind. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and I make sure to build my schedule around their needs. Whether it’s morning walks, mid-day play sessions, or evening cuddles, I’m committed to keeping your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. I work full-time Monday to Friday, but I make sure pet care fits comfortably into my daily routine. I’m available for early morning, evening and weekend care and I always make time for quality attention, exercise and affection when I am with your pet. I’m organised, reliable and always transparent about my availability- your pets wellbeing is my top priority. When caring for pets in their owners home, I treat their space with respect and follow all instructions carefully to ensure their routine and environment stay consistent. I make sure to: - Follow the owner’s guidelines for feeding, medication, exercise and any special needs - Keep the home clean and today, including picking up after pets and maintaining their designated areas - Spend quality time with the pet, offering companionship, play and comfort to help them feel safe and relaxed. - Provide regular updates and photos to the owner, so they feel connected and confident their pet is well cared for. - Be mindful of house rules and security, including locking doors and turning off appliances. My goal is to make sure pets feel right at home while their owners are away, minimising stress for both pets and owners.

“Alicia and her partner George were very kind to our cat Chloe. They looked after her very well, providing daily updates and photos, and we could see when we returned that Chloe had bonded with them, which was wonderful. We would definitely recommend Alicia and will book with her again.”



About: Raising and training a black lab in London and Hampshire. I have lots of experience with my own , as well as looking after friend’s puppies and dogs. I am on a hybrid work schedule meaning some days I am in London and other days I work from home and am available during the day for pet care. I would just need appropriate notice to ensure it fits my work schedule. I am available evenings and weekends. Happy to work to your schedule and routine. I crate train my own dog and am working on training her to be a working gun dog , so a lot of work has gone into her training, but I am happy to follow the client’s lead with how they would like their dog to be cared for. My dog is incredibly friendly and loves socialising with all dogs , but can be separated if yours needs space .

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have two of my own—one is 7 and the other is 4—so I truly understand how much love, patience, and attention they need. I regularly dog-sit for family and friends, caring for a variety of breeds, temperaments, and ages. Whether it’s long walks, feeding routines, playtime, or just some comforting company, I treat every pet like part of my own family. I’m confident in handling both energetic puppies and older dogs with more specific needs. I have just left the corporate world and am at home with my 9 month old. But I have help around me so don’t have her full time, it frees me up to have pups over to play with my two cockapoos and do pop ins for walks or food and toilet breaks. I have a large house and garden which is completely secure. I do have two cockapoos that are very happy with other dogs. Any animal that is in our home is treated like one of the babies! They have free rein of the furniture, house, garden and lots of cuddles.

About: Hi my name is Anna :) I simply adore all animals and do believe a home is not a home without one. I cant think of anything better than to be curled up on a sofa with a doggy by my side. Having recently lost my Mini Schnauzer Mutley earlier on this year I now feel ready to put all my love and care into something as rewarding as this. In the last few years I have had 4 Mini Schnauzers one of which was a rescue from Battersea (Missy) She came to me a scared nervous dog who had never even seen grass or been on a lead and struggled being in the same room. She eventually after a little time blossomed into the sweetest poppet and lost her fears and lived the life she so truly deserved. I can honestly say it was the most rewarding thing I have ever done. I dearly love all animals and want you to know they would receive the best care ❤️ in my company. A truly pampered pooch ! X I am currently at home so able to give full commitment to your pet. I have a completely fenced off back garden in a fairly quiet area. I have a fenced off back garden in a reasonably quiet area. My home is their home and I would allow them everywhere in the house.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover with over 16 years of hands on experience caring for pets. I have my own dog of 7 years and a sweet 16 year old cat, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I have also looked after a variety of pets for friends and family - ranging from playful Chihuahuas to energetic Staffys. I’m reliable, friendly, and completely dedicated to making pets feel safe, happy, and loved in my care. WOOF! Animals genuinely bring me joy, and I treat every pet like my own. I work full time Monday to Friday, so I’m mainly available for weekend pet care, including overnight stays. I can also offer weeknight visits sans evening sits for feeding, playtime, or just some company for your pet! For weekday stays, please note that I will be out of the house from 8.30am to 6.30pm due to work and travel, but I will make sure your pet gets plenty of love and attention before and after. I always do my best to keep around your pets routine and keep things as comfortable and consistent as possible. Your pets safety will always be my top priority. At home, my own cat is kept safe with a magnetic tag cat flap that only opens for her, and our garden is fully fenced to prevent any escapes. After discovering gap under the bush where animals could slip through to the neighbours, we quickly secured it with chicken wire - problem solved! I believe in creating a calm and secure environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow consistent routines, maintain a healthy diet for my own pets, and always use positive reinforcement - praise and the occasional treat - for good behaviour. You can trust that your furry friend will be in a safe and loving space while you are away.

I follow feeding routines carefully, clean litter boxes daily, and make sure your cat gets the attention they need—on their terms, of course!

For almost 8 years, my own beloved, often anxious canine companion has been my greatest teacher, showing me just how much a gentle approach can transform their well-being. I also had two wonderful cats as family members for about 13 years, which truly deepened my appreciation for their unique personalities and needs.

“Coley cared for our puppy from the age of 14 weeks old one a day a week for a month whilst I attended work. She was punctual, friendly and so caring towards Poppy from the outset. She was happy to follow and support our routine, encouraging nap time when needed and engaging in playtime inbetween. We were offered and received regular updates to reassure us of how her day was going and Poppy was always very happy to be around Coley. Now that Poppy is a bit older, and has had all her vaccinations, she is always very excited to see Coley when she returns for occasional dog walking bookings. I would highly recommend her services to others.”
