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.

Jessica was amazing, my cats were very happy and well looked after. Jessica clearly loves animals and is amazing with cats, one of mine is a bit shyer than the other but they clearly felt comfortable and cuddly with her.

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’ve had cats in my family since I was 6 years old. Worked 15 years at a veterinary clinic, I love animals more than anything! Currently a stay at home mum so my hours are very flexible. Working with animals is my passion and the thing I love to do most! I am very reliable, very caring and loving with pets and will treat them as if they were my own. I am able to feed cats, empty litter trays, play and give medications if needed. I am extremely considerate and be very careful in your home.

About: I’m 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. Alongside caring for my own pets, I’ve looked after a wide variety of animals for friends, family, and clients through Rover—ranging from playful Chihuahuas to energetic Staffys, and everything in between! I’ve gained valuable experience looking after multiple pets at a time and have received excellent reviews for my reliable, friendly, and caring approach. Animals genuinely bring me joy, and I’m dedicated to making every pet feel safe, happy, and loved in my care. I treat every pet as if they are my own. I work full-time Monday to Friday in Basingstoke and live in Newbury, with occasional days in Reading, so I can cover a wide area for pet care. I’m mainly available for weekend stays and evening visits during the week for feeding, playtime, and cuddles. For weekday stays, I’m out between 8:30 AM and 6:30 PM (dependant on the location) but your pets will always get plenty of love before and after! I also offer dog walks in the Basingstoke area on weekdays, as that’s where I work (9:30–5:30). I do my best to follow each pet’s 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.

Looked after my two skittish with strangers cats, even managed to get a picture of them both together. My trip was disrupted by Heathrow fire, and she was understanding and flexible, working around my new departure time. Boys were fed and happy, and I would use again on any future trips. Thanks for the peace of mind

About: I've been caring for my own dogs for over 25 years and have recently returned to the UK from living abroad with our two adopted boys, Bruno and Alfie, who we found living on the street to give them a new life. I come from a family of dog lovers and my sister is also a registered dog sitter on this application. Whilst living abroad I would walk our neighbours boy and girl and also pet sit while they were away. I have a good eye in spotting behaviour and mood changes in dogs and always put there welfare and safety first. I'm retired from full time work and only work a few hours early in the mornings to keep me busy so dog walking will fit nicely into my day. I love the outdoors and nothing ages me happier than having my boys with me. I won't be taking on pet sitting in my home as I have my boys with me and will always walk peoples dogs separately from my own. I will make sure I am fully aware of owners requirements and obtain full information on health and behaviour before undertaking any walking role and carry out a home visit for a meet and greet. I'll also provide owners with text and photo updates to put their minds at ease

About: Hi, I'm Leanne! I've grown up with animals for as long as I can remember; I had 3 cats and other family pets growing up, and later cared for my own dog for 9 years. Animals have always been a big part of my life, so I'm very used to the daily routines, care, and attention they need to feel happy and settled. I've looked after numerous dogs over the years, so I'm used to having different personalities in my care and I treat every animal as if they were part of the family. I sadly lost my dog, Mojo, in late 2025 and the house feels very empty without him. I really miss having a dog around, which is a big part of why I'm here. I love spending time with animals, and I'm passionate about giving other people's pets the same care, comfort, and affection I gave him. I'm naturally caring, loving, and compassionate, and take the responsibility of looking after someone's pet very seriously. Whether your pet needs playtime, long walks, calm company, or someone who understands their personality and quirks, I'll make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well looked after. I don't currently work, so I'm very flexible and can give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I'm also happy to send regular photo updates so you always know exactly how your furry friend is doing. Your pet's wellbeing and routine will always be my top priority. I don't currently work, which means I can offer plenty of attention, consistency, and commitment to your pet. I'm very flexible with routines and can easily fit in with whatever your pet needs. I have a secure garden in a quiet area, giving your pet a safe space to explore and enjoy fresh air. Inside, pets are free to roam and relax wherever they feel comfortable. I will follow all instructions carefully, provide plenty of attention, exercise, and mental stimulation, and treat every pet as if they were my own🐾

About: Hi, I’m Cait and my partner is Sam ! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and can’t imagine a day without them. Having recently moved out of my family home, I’d love the chance to spend time with your four-legged family members when you can’t be there. I have hands-on experience with all kinds of dogs from playful puppies to gentle giants, and even those who may be a little shy or socially awkward. I understand that every dog has their own personality, and I always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether it’s daily walks, fun adventures in forests, fields, or enclosed dog parks, or simply providing company and cuddles, I’ll treat your dog like my own. You can rest assured they’ll get plenty of exercise, care, and attention while you’re at work or away. Your pup’s happiness and wellbeing are my top priority because they’re not “just pets,” they’re family. 🐶💛 We both work full-time, but our schedules are super dog-friendly! 🐾 I work from home almost every day, so your pup will have company, care, and attention throughout the day—no long stretches of being alone. My partner also works from home a couple of days a week, which means there are often two of us around to play, cuddle, and go for walks. Even on the days when it’s just me at home, I make sure pups get plenty of bathroom breaks, walks, and playtime. Our setup is perfect for keeping your dog happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. 💕 I have a secure, fenced garden that’s perfect for dogs to safely roam and play. I’m also lucky to live close to beautiful fields, scenic walking routes, and streams. Ideal for plenty of exciting walks and adventures. Since I don’t currently have any dogs of my own at home, your pup will have my full attention and truly be the centre of care and affection while they’re with me. 🐾💛 I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos throughout the day, so you’ll always know how your dog is doing and get to see them having fun. 🐶📸

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!

Katie was absolutely brilliant with our cat Charlie. We were initially nervous, having never had a cat sitter we didn’t know before, but we hadn’t needed to be. We couldn’t believe how quickly our ‘nervous, little rescue cat’ warmed to her - by a few days in he was laying on his back while she tickled his belly! She also did a great job of looking after the house and kept us updated throughout. I think the cat was actually disappointed when we came home! We’d recommend Katie to anyone (especially those with anxious cats) and will definitely be using her again!

About: I’ve taken care of Dogs since I was 10 years old. I have lots of patience and I have taken care of pets for my aunts, grandmother and my own dogs. Back home, I had three Boerboels two Jack Russells and a German short haired pointer. I regularly bathed, walked and groomed my dogs. I have such a love for all animals. Dogs are so important because they’re a part of your family. I currently don’t have any other employment so I’ll be able to put my full attention into taking care of your pets to the best of my ability. I take dogs for regular walks, give them treats feed them on time and bathe them when necessary. I love playing with pets out in the garden or the park. I feel that exercise and love the two most important things that you can give to a dog

About: I grew up with a big, silly Irish Red Setter who was truly part of the family. He set the bar for how fun, gentle and full of personality dogs can be and we still laugh about his antics today. In recent years I’ve looked after friends’ and family’s dogs while they’ve been away, making sure they’re fed, walked, played with and properly cared for. I absolutely love going on long walks, so having a four-legged pal to join me is always a joy. I’m a naturally caring person and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy and like they’re having their own little holiday too. Because I’m self-employed, my hours are very flexible. I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs and daily routine – just get in touch and we can find a time that works perfectly. I’m really careful and attentive when it comes to pets. I always want them to feel safe, comfortable, and settled. I follow whatever routine you already have in place, keep an eye on things, and make sure the environment is calm and secure – doors checked, no hazards around and plenty of time spent making sure they’re happy. Whether I’m looking after your pet in your home or mine, I treat them with the same care and patience I’d give my own.

Highly recommend using Esme for drop ins, my springer spaniel is super nervous of anyone new coming to the house but having had a meet and greet a week before the drop in, she was fine. Esme played with both my dogs in the garden, kept me updated and even sent a couple of photos. Communication was excellent.

Xiaomara looked after our 2 rather shy cats whilst we were away for a week. She popped round before hand so we could meet up and have a chat about the cat's needs and i was instantly reassured that she would be kind, diligent and responsible. Xiaomara sent regular updates, including pictures of the cats ,which really set pur minds at ease that they were happy and being well looked after. I would most definitely recommend her and will be booking her again when we next go away.
