House Sitting Basingstoke and Deane

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.

“We chose Anna as she has experience of large breeds, Shepherds in particular. Our Belgian Mali needs stimulation and Anna not only came up with new ways to keep him stimulated and entertained but she did this all in the very hot weather we had. Regular updates and pics showed Bodie having a great time. Anna also looked after my garden and allotment and kept the house clean and tidy. I highly recommend her services.”

About: I have been looking after families pets since I was young and have grown up with dogs of all sizes. I currently look after my sisters labradoodle puppy and my nans bocker (beagle cross cocker spaniel). I have also had and looked after ferrets before so have experience with other animals. I’m currently working part time, mainly evenings at the weekends so will have plenty of time to care for your beautiful pets! I am also quite flexible so please don’t be afraid to ask for anything you may need! I am afraid I am unable to do pet boarding but I love to make sure pets feel comfortable with me coming into their home. Ensuring they have interaction and play when they want it but also giving them space when they just want to chill is so important!

“Crystal was fantastic, arrived on time as per our booking and Dylan was happy to see her again after meeting him in the week. We were away for approx 8 hours and Crystal kept us updated on how he was. She fed him his evening meal and when we got back although Dylan was happy to see us he didn’t make the usual fuss as he had company all day. Already booked Crystal for another stay, she’s great.”

“Tara was a fantastic house & dog sitter. She updated me frequently with lots of photos and I could tell my dog had quickly settled with her which was great and reassuring. It was also good to know that the house was being well looked after during one of the coldest months of the year. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again! Thank you Tara 🥰”

“Our mini dachshunds had a great day with Jessica! They don't usually trust anyone other than us, they're uber sensitive which can be hard work sometimes. But we came home to two exhausted and calm pups. She sent us some brilliant pictures throughout the day and updates and it was very stress free for us :) Pippa and Clint had a fun filled day and are looking forward to seeing her again soon!”

“I can't recommend Jackie enough! From the initial meet and greet, it was clear she has a real love for animals and knows how to handle dogs of all temperaments. Bear was very happy in her company and her calm nature put him at ease! We look forward to future bookings with Jackie!”

About: I have loved and cared for dogs my entire life. I grew up rescuing stray dogs and giving them a safe place, food and love. Over the years I have cared for many different breeds, from small playful dogs to large strong ones. I am calm, patient and attentive to every dog’s personality and needs. For me dogs are not just pets – they are family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and being active outdoors. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate proper time and attention to each pet I care for. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings when needed. When I look after a pet, I make sure they receive enough exercise, attention, and companionship. I never rush walks and always adapt the time and activity to the dog’s needs and energy level. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority. I treat every dog as if it were my own. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and properly supervised at all times. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and any instructions given by the owner so they feel secure and relaxed. Even though I live in an apartment, I make sure dogs receive plenty of outdoor time, exercise, and fresh air through regular walks and visits to nearby parks. I keep a calm and clean environment and always focus on building trust with both pets and their owners.

“Lauren was great with Crosby and left the flat nice and tidy. Will definitely ask her to come back.”

“Gonz looked after our 3 year old border terrier last weekend and we couldn't have wished to have left her in better hands. She clearly had a lovely time and was very relaxed and happy so we were able to enjoy our time away without worry. I would highly recommend Gonz and look forward to him sitting for us again soon.”

About: Hi, I’m Aaron. I live in Washington Village in a clean, smoke & child free home, so it’s a calm environment for dogs. I’ve also got a secure, fenced back garden, which is great for safe outdoor time. I’ve spent years walking dogs at Brysons Animal Shelter on weekends, purely because I enjoy it. I’ve walked and spent time with all sorts of dogs, from high energy characters to the quieter ones that just need a bit of patience and reassurance. Dogs have always been part of my life too, my mam has a jack russel called Charlie and my sister has a lab called Sunny, so I’m used to being around them regularly. I work full time, so I only accept bookings around my time off. That means when your dog’s with me, they’ve got my full attention and won’t be left on their own. I like the flexibility Rover gives me to do this properly, rather than trying to fit it in around work. I’m reliable and easygoing, I’ll always follow your dog’s usual routine so things feel familiar for them. Whether that’s walks, playtime, or just some company and a relaxed space, I’ll make sure they’re comfortable and well looked after. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how they’re getting on, and I’m always happy to have a quick chat if you need anything. More than anything, I just enjoy being around dogs, so yours will be treated with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. Happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand so you can feel confident it’s the right fit! Drop me a message if you’d like to chat. I work full time and will look to host on my days off. I’m currently off work due to a shoulder nerve injury, so have more free time. My back garden is fenced, I live in a safe and quiet area of Washington Village. Even when in the back garden, your dog will never be left unattended.

“Georgia and her family were absolutely fantastic! I could not have wished for a better sitter to leave my beloved Duke with. He had so much exercise and received a lot of love and attention. I would not hesitate to recommend Georgia to any dog owner. She went above and beyond! Thank you Georgia. Duke looks forward to staying with you again in the future. 😃”
