Dog Sitting Basingstoke and Deane

“Laura was great. She came round to meet us and the cat, the cat had a prior engagement and was no where to be seen! Laura let us know each time she dropped in while we were away, due to the cat's very busy social schedule, Laura couldn't get a picture. Would definitely book with Laura again.”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. Coming from a family of vets, animal care has always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve also spent several years working in a veterinary practice, helping care for and nurse a wide range of animals. I have plenty of experience with dog walking, house sitting, and caring for pets both through Rover and independently. Having owned dogs my whole life, I’m confident with walking, training, administering routines, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for cats and smaller pets, including my own cat and tortoise. I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone trustworthy and attentive, and I always aim to provide reliable care, regular updates, and lots of affection so both pets and owners feel completely at ease. I currently work in a hybrid role, with standard hours of 8:00am to 4:00pm. I work from home for most of the week, with one fixed office day on Tuesday and a second office day that I can choose, giving me flexibility to plan my schedule around pet sitting bookings whenever possible. When working from home, I'm able to provide plenty of company, regular toilet breaks, walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. Outside of my working hours, I'm fully available during evenings and weekends, allowing me to dedicate even more time to exercising, playing with, and caring for your pet. I'm organised, reliable, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away. Whether caring for pets in my own home or in a pet owner’s home, I always prioritise safety, routine, and making pets feel as comfortable as possible. I understand that every animal is different, so I take the time to learn their usual routine, exercise needs, feeding schedule, and any medical or behavioural requirements to help them feel settled and secure. Coming from a veterinary background and with experience working in a veterinary practice, I’m confident recognising signs of stress or illness and ensuring pets receive attentive, responsible care at all times. I’m also experienced with administering routines and following owner instructions carefully. When house sitting, I treat every home with respect and keep owners updated regularly with messages and photos for peace of mind. I aim to maintain a calm, loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away.

About: I have always had dogs growing up, I now have my own cockapoo who loves everyone! Your dog will be happy, safe and loved whilst in my care! I work full time during the week but can only be available most weekends! Just give me notice and I will try my best to work around everything! I live in a flat but have lots of lovely walks nearby that we can go on and a grass area out the front too!

About: I absolutely adore cats and dogs. I don't have any of my own due to my job but I am on furlough and have a lot of love to give to a furry friend. I love to go for long walks, I love to run. I have a countryside just 2 mins from my house. I have looked after dogs for over 5 years and have lots of experience with all ages and breeds or cats and dogs. I love to cuddle and would let them be on sofa and bed if that's what they prefer. I have a bath and shower to give your pet a wash. Lovely big garden for them to play in. I would love to look after your fluffy animals
