About: I have grown up with pets my whole life, and regularly look after friends and families pets. I know how nervous a lot of pets can be if they have to go into a kennel/cattery and so i enjoy providing flexible pet sitting where they can stay in the comfort of their own/my home. As well as feeding your pets, ensuring they have plenty of water, emptying the litter tray/taking them out for loo breaks, I will also play with/walk them, fuss them, brush them and administer any required medicine. I will also gladly send regular updates/pictures to let you know how they are doing as I know how much I worry when I’m away! I work full time but am able to work hybrid and so I can make plenty of time to care for your pet(s). I drive and have my own car so can easily get to and from pet sitting jobs and on short notice. I am also available for boarding (cats only) on weekends. I will always ensure your pet is well fed, watered, taken for loo breaks/cat litter emptied, fussed and played with. I will gladly spend time with them and administer any medication they may require. I live in a quiet cul-de-sac away from roads and noise. I have a private fenced garden with woods behind it which provides plenty of bird watching opportunities for cats! I have two friendly cats which can keep yours company, and I also have a spare bedroom which is kitted out with beds, blankets, scratch post and toys etc. so the cats can be kept separate if needed.

“Megan is the type of sitter where you're tempted to not say how amazing she really is, as it means she will get booked up more! However... We are repeat bookers and always jump at the chance to have her look after Rocky and Alfie when we're away. She genuinely cares and is amazing with both of them. 5 stars well deserved.”


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: 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 was a really good sitter. She was flexible and super good with my cats. Sent me pictures and updates what’s happening with them. I’ll definitely book another time with her again.”


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: 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 2 dogs, both Bichons which required lots of grooming. I previously helped with a registered dog groomer to assist and dog sit on most days. I genuinely love and care for dogs and their owners too! I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy with looking after a loved and valued pet. I am a genuine trusting person and doing this to simply spend more time with animals, especially dogs! My dog, Buddy, is now unfortunately blind and I have plenty of experience with helping him on walks and to manage around the house. I currently work from home with my small craft business. I’m therefore very flexible and more than happy to work around what is best suited for the owner. I am more than happy to offer care for pets in the owners home. I make sure to get to know them and make sure my care is tailored to what they need.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes for over 17 years. Since I was 10, neighbours, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and bathe their pets with love and patience. I’ve looked after both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need extra attention. Animals feel safe and happy with me, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pet.. I’m available most weekdays and weekends all day. Whether your kitty needs feeding, playtime, or just some quiet company, I’m happy to help. I live in a calm and quiet home with no children and one gentle cat of my own. I always provide a safe, clean, and stress-free environment. I follow feeding routines carefully, clean litter boxes daily, and make sure your cat gets the attention they need—on their terms, of course!
About: I have taken care of pets ever since I was a little girl. I always had pets growing up, varying from small animals such as rats, hamsters, rabbits to cats and dogs. I had a range of different aged animals as majority of our pets were rescued. I had a rescue puppy, with very difficult behaviour which I managed to work around and had him up until a senior. I have had cats my entire life since 2 years old, most recent before my current 5 year old rusty was an elderly cat midnight that required insulin injections. I always wanted to be a vet when I was younger and did work experience at a boarding kennels, I used to get too upset seeing the dogs lonely and would spend my breaks sitting with them. That’s why I went down the route of nursing as I’m too emotionally invested in the animals to work with poorly ones! I have a little girl who is nearly two who is just as much of an animal lover as I am and would be joining me on dog walks! She joins me in her carrier to walk the family German Cassie regularly and it’s her highlight of her day when she sees her! Experience handling a big dog due to caring for Cassie lots. Aware to always keep dogs on leads no matter how good there recall especially when walking a dog that is not my own, Cassie stays on the lead as she can be very unpredictable off the lead and therefore am happy handling a large dog with strength behind them as have lots of experience with her. I am a nurse and work long shifts Monday and Fridays every week with one alternative weekend day every other week. So therefore I am free all day tues,weds,thurs and weekends dependant on shifts! I have a little girl Dixie who is a HUGE animal lover who would join me on dog walks. She is amazing with animals as she has grown up with rusty our cat and Cassie the German Shepard of the family. I can easily care for your pet in your home as have lots of experience with pets. I have a German Shepard within the family and I have grown up with cats and dogs throughout my child hood and therefore am used to all different breeds/personality’s of pets!

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.

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: Greetings, pet parents! My passion for animals is matched only by my proven patience with nervous dogs. 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. My career as a freelance prop maker provides me with a highly flexible and mobile schedule, which is a real advantage when it comes to pet sitting and dog walking. This availability means I can usually be there for your furry friend whenever they need me. Im available daily after 2pm for walkies. Check-in visit available daily. Boarding is also availabe. Fenced yard available. I also have a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. Walkies will be on leash ALL the time. Daily photo update available upon request.

Nicole M.
“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.”

There is no one I’d trust more with my dog than Anna - she really knows how deeply you love your furry companion and treats them with the same level and love as you do. She’s had experience ranging from reactive dogs and extremely sensitive and abused dogs. (Her own dog was extremely abused and rescued) and Anna’s patience and kindness allowed this dog to be loved and changed. Anna has a lovely home with a private back garden area which my dog can roam in safely. She isn’t too far from fantastic woodland areas and dog walking trails as well as town and local vet practices. Her home is always clean and presentable, no noisy neighbours or any triggering factors.”

She has been training and caring for her 8-month-old Labrador puppy, and she is the most well-behaved and affectionate dog I have ever met. Caitlin is clearly passionate about animals, and she takes her role as a pet caregiver very seriously. She is knowledgeable about animal behavior and training, and she is always patient and understanding with her furry friends. I have seen firsthand how Caitlin interacts with her own dog, and I am confident that she would provide the same high level of care and attention to any pet in her charge. She is reliable, punctual, and communicative, and she always goes the extra mile to make sure that her pets are happy and healthy. I would not hesitate to entrust my own pet to Caitlin, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and loving pet caregiver.”
