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 a wonderful pet sitter for Biscuit. He stayed in our home with her for 2 weeks while we were away on holiday and he took her on lots of lovely outings/adventures and took care of her like his own. He sent updates and we were able to relax and enjoy our holiday knowing our beloved dog was safe and happy. (He also took wonderful care of our two gerbils and fishtank.) I will definitely be booking with him again. He also went above and beyond to do a few things around the house for us - like I forgot to cancel my Simmer order for the second week and he unpacked it and put it in the freezer for me and he tidied up the dog poo in the garden which I definitely did not expect. We came home to a happy and healthy dog who after greeting us also ran back to him to excitedly tell him we were back. Which to me just proves she'd developed a good bond with him.”

“Joana has looked after our 3 dogs loads of times now and they absolutely love seeing her every time! She is great at communicating, always on time and the dogs are always happy to spend time with her.”

“Absolutely fantastic dog sitter! I was a little nervous about leaving Pip and Angus, especially as Angus is still such a young puppy, but I honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She came to our home and looked after them overnight, and knowing they were able to stay in their own familiar environment made such a difference. Both dogs were clearly happy, relaxed and really well cared for. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing they were in safe hands, and I wouldn’t hesitate to ask her to look after them again. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable and trustworthy to care for their pets. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Pip and Angus! 🐾”

“Maria is definitely a 5 star sitter, my two dogs and cats adore when she comes to stay. I'm kept up to date with how tings are going and Maria takes the time to understand the needs of both the pets and the poor human servant who is being relieved of care. Maria is now our go to sitter!”

“Jasmine was absolutely amazing. She was excellent with our two dogs and followed the instructions perfectly. She was totally respectful of our home and we would definitely book her in again. We’re very happy with her work and she communicated with us really well. Thanks again jasmine.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.”

“Hannah looked after our very needy fire baby Fred and we came back to a very calm dog with a super clean and tidy house. Would highly recommend Hannah she is such a lovely person and we are now so assured when we leave Fred he will be in good hands.”

About: I’m currently working part time term time only so have plenty of time to look after animals! i’m available all day saturday sunday and wednesday in mornings/evenings every other day I have 3 cats at home and have a family full of cat and dog owners that i spend plenty of time with. I am used to keeping them safe on leads/crates or keeping animals apart if needs be. I am highly trained in cat cuddling also :)

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 5 years old, and to me, they’re more than pets—they’re family. My best friend growing up was Mikey, a lovable West Highland Terrier who stole everyone’s heart. After he passed, I realized just how special the bond between a dog and their human really is. That inspired me to help others feel confident leaving their furry friends in good hands. With years of experience, you’re not just getting someone who knows dogs—you’re getting someone who loves them. I’ve successfully trained all my own pups and taken part in multiple K-9 training sessions, which gave me the skills (and patience!) to guide pups of all personalities. I’m all about trust, care, and making sure your best friend feels safe, happy, and loved—just like they deserve. I work full-time in IT and have a predictable 9-5 schedule, making it easy to plan ahead and provide dependable care for your dog. I'm a friendly, active person who loves spending time with animals, and I'll treat your pup as if they were my own. With my flexible schedule and commitment to communication, you can relax knowing your dog is in safe hands and having a great time while you're away. Hi there! I’m a trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely pet-loving individual with years of hands-on experience. Over the years, I’ve never run into a single issue—just happy pets and even happier owners! I believe communication is key, so I always send regular updates, photos, and check-ins to give you peace of mind while you’re away. You’ll always know your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for—and your home is in good hands too. Cleanliness is super important to me (my flat is always spotless—dust doesn’t stand a chance!), and I bring that same level of care and respect into your home. I also offer flexible pet-sitting packages to fit your schedule and needs—whether it’s daily visits, overnight stays, or just some extra playtime while you’re at work. Let’s find the perfect setup for you and your furry friend!

“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.”

“Melissa looked after our puppy for an afternoon and long evening and I honestly can’t recommend Melissa enough! Our puppy is in the nippy chewing stage and Melissa was excellent at dealing with that, she took on board our instructions to deal with it and had such a calm attitude. Will definitely be using Melissa again.”

“We have already booked Leanne for next year and are hoping to have her as our go-to pet sitter. The animals loved her so much I don't think they wanted us back! We usually get really homesick and worried about the animals while on holiday but with daily, sometimes more than once, updates we could enjoy it without worrying. The cats were chill, came around much quicker than in the past, and Holly was comfortable from day one. She also took on our lizards, a leopard gecko (Luna) and a bearded dragon (Peanut), which was a major help as Luna gets dangerously stressed out when we have to move her into boarding, and we don' get consistent updates with our usual boarder, so it was nice also having them cared for and kept at home. Would very much recommend, especially for those who worry. 🐾💕”

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.

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life, growing up alongside them and caring for multiple breeds over the years. I understand that every dog has their own distinct personality, energy level, and routine. Whether your pet loves high energy play, long walks, or just relaxing on the sofa, I bring a lifetime of practical, hands on experience to ensure they feel safe, loved, and right at home! I am based in Redmile and work five days a week (including weekends) in Langar, but I always make time to provide dedicated, attentive care for your pets. I am available for drop-in visits and walks early in the mornings before work, in the evenings after my shifts, and during local lunchtime breaks. For overnight house sitting, I can stay in your home to keep your pet’s routine ........viding walks, meals, and plenty of company in the mornings, evenings, and overnight. Just let me know what dates and times you need, and I will always do my absolute best to accommodate you and your dog! When caring for pets, maintaining their normal routine, comfort, and safety is my top priority. For overnight house sitting, I keep your home secure and keep your pet's schedule completely seamless. Handling morning and evening feeds, fresh water top-ups, and dedicated walking time around my work hours, along with plenty of evening companionship and attention. For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on quality engagement, ensuring your dog gets a great walk, garden time, fresh food and water, and positive interaction so they are relaxed and content. I treat every home with complete respect and send regular photo updates so you always have total peace of mind while you're away.

“Diana is an excellent pet sitter! We were lucky to had found her. She came to see our pets twice before staying at ours for a week. She sent daily updates and photos. She left the house clean and tidy. We are definitely contacting Diana again if we ever need help with our fur babies and we are 100% recommending Diana to our friends too!”
