House Sitting Bourne

About: Hi, I’m Harriet, thanks for visiting my profile! Little or small, I’m here for all! My darling 15 year old rescue Jack Russell passed away last year and I’m missing the company and love of walking with furry friends! Being a genuine lover of animals and always having pets, I trained in the animal sector and academically achieved my HNC qualification in Animal Management. I have 9 years experience working in a rescue kennels and cattery, a working farm and a pet shop; so I have a lot of experience with different temperaments of animals and their needs. I am a patient, enthusiastic, confident and knowledgeable. Pets are my passion and I would love to meet yours! Please note, I do work a shift pattern but I know my shifts in advance so I will be as flexible as possible. I work shifts but I know my schedule far in advance so it is best for me to plan walks with your companion. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I am well experienced in medications, specialised diets, elderly dogs, and varied temperaments. My home is pet safe as I had my dog for 10 years. I do have a cat.

“Oscar was absolutely fantastic looking after my dog Caleb and cat Stella while I was away. He had been walking Caleb for a while before the stay so they could bond. Caleb is very overreactive so not easy to handle but Oscar knew exactly how to calm him. Oscar sent pictures and updated me while I was away which was great and reassuring. Caleb and Stella absolutely adore him , we feel very lucky to have found such a lovely pet sitter and will continue booking him for dog walking duties . Thank you Oscar , you are a star”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Dog Sitter – Highly Recommend! We had the absolute best experience with Mandy, who looked after our black Labrador, Gunner, for a week while we were away. From the very first day, it was clear that Gunner was in the most caring and capable hands. Mandy truly spoiled him with multiple walks each day, endless affection, and even surprised him with a new toy that quickly became his favorite! She went above and beyond by sending us daily photos and videos, which brought us so much joy and peace of mind during our holiday. Seeing how happy and relaxed Gunner was made it easy to fully enjoy our time away, knowing he was being loved and cared for just like he would be at home. We can’t thank Mandy enough for treating Gunner like part of her family. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dedicated dog sitter.”

“If you need someone to take care of your fur baby then look no further. We have a complex basset hound who adores Hannah. She has a special talent with dogs and such an incredible lady. House immaculate on our return after nearly 3 weeks and our basset cried when she left - adorable. Xxx”

“We highly recommended Katherine. She is calm and communicative, responsible and efficient. Katherine arrived on time for a handover, and our dogs immediately fell for her charms! All instruction was followed, with regular photo updates while we were out. We arrived home to two very contented doggos. We couldn't ask for better, and Katherine will definitely be on our short list for future sitters.”

About: We have two retired racing greyhounds of our own and are experienced at taking care of others’ pooches alongside them. My working hours are flexible so can cater to your dogs needs. We are in the process of moving abroad but I will be in the UK for a while longer and miss having dogs around so thought this would be a good way to compensate for that. We used to do a lot of dog sitting, boarding, day care and really enjoyed it. I am used to working around my dogs schedule which is early morning walks and toilet breaks every 4-5 hours. My work schedule is flexible so can work around your pets needs. Having looked after dozens of dogs I understand that each pet has their own routine and quirks so happy to stick to their usual routine.

“Diane did a great job of looking after Peanut, he was a happy healthy pup when we got home. She was very prompt with pictures and updates and I felt very comfortable leaving peanut in her care!”
