“Savanna was great, helped me out last minute and took such great care of my cat while I was away, took the time to feed, fuss and play with him. Great communication, regular updates and always a picture or two to show me what he was up to. Would definitely book again!”
“I can't praise Guoda enough! This was my first time leaving Mochi alone whilst I went on holiday for a few days. Guoda made me feel completely at ease. She kept me up to date with pictures and videos and totally eased all my concerns. If you are looking for someone to look at your pet then look no further. I will definitely be using her services again. Guoda, thank you so much”
“I never felt so confident leaving my house and my cat alone for a longer time. I received a lot of pictures and updates about my cat from Emily - twice a day! On average 15 pictures a day, so I was sure my cat is happy. I highly recommend Emily to anyone who loves their cats and their house. Thank you Emily!!!!”
“Lauren been very helpful for looking after my 2 cats Joey and Marcus. She is also gentle and understanding and keep me updates news, fotos and even videos on daily basis during my holidays xx”
About: We are Lee and Sonya, an older couple (early 50s and mid 60s) living in the BH9 area of Winton. We are very close to lots of lovely dog walking places and are happy to drive further afield for doggy walks too. We’re used to walking dogs of all ages and most sizes (small, medium and not too large). We also have 2 quite elderly cats but they can be secluded away safely when your doggy is visiting or staying with us. We can take your dog(s) for walks locally - we usually go to Winton Rec, Redhill Park and Meyrick Park or, for longer walks, we go to Canford Sang, Wareham Forest and the New Forest. We sadly said goodbye to Buster, our lovely Belgian Malinois doggy of 13 years, in April 2025. We’re not ready to have a new doggie yet, but there is a big space in our hearts and we’d love to enjoy walking your dog so please let us know if you would like to book time with us. We love walking and especially dog walking. We’re confident and capable with all dog breeds and available for dog sitting and boarding while you’re away. We look forward to meeting you and your dog(s)! 😊 I’m retired so have lots of free time, especially now my doggy has gone so I can fit in with most times you need my support. Sonya Safety is paramount! For pet stays at our home, we have a fully fenced-in garden and we would make sure your pet is safe when anyone comes to the door. Lots of fun activities as well as walks - toys, games and cuddles to make sure they feel safe with us.
About: I’m a calm, responsible, and dependable person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. Growing up, I gained hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets and animals, including fishes, goats, and cows, which taught me patience and attentiveness to animals’ needs and behaviour. I’m observant, reliable, and respectful of routines that keep animals comfortable. I’m also currently completing my Master’s in Forensic Psychology, which has strengthened my ability to stay patient, thoughtful, and attentive in different situations. 🐾
“Very happy with Keira's cat sitting service. She went above and beyond for us and we felt confident that our 3 cats were in excellent hands. Keira very obviously adores animals and this was evident in her care of our precious furry babies. I will be using her services again.”
“Linda is absolutely brilliant - we had to go out for the evening and leave our 4 month puppy which we were a little concerned about initially but we needn’t have worried - Linda was great with Kona, her overall manner with aninals is lovely and you can tell it’s a real passion of hers - we felt very comfortable leave her with Linda and will absolutely be using again”
About: I’m an experienced sitter with a genuine love for all animals. I got all my pets through to the tender old ages of 16 through devotion, love and responsibility. I love giving them love and I can take care of senior dogs with all kinds of health problems. I am also DBS checked and I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, birds you name it. I even had horses. I currently work part time and my work is flexible so they will have all the attention and love from me. We’ll go on early morning walks and afternoon walks depending on the weather and between they’ll get to play and have fun! I live in a one bedroom in a long stay hotel setting right now. There’s a bit garden in the back and a big one in front with plenty of routes to the beach. I’m also more than happy to stay at your place and look after your babies in their own environment.
About: I've grown up with family dogs (and a cat) including a cairn terrier, a labrador, a golden labrador, a cockapoo and a jack russel cross corgi. I was the main trainer for the cockapoo that we brought as a puppy. The jack russel, (Barty), is a rescue and wasn't in good health when we first got him. We made sure to make him feel safe, loved and looked after his health (diet food and nice walks) and now I am pleased to say he is so much happier. My parents live an hour away with Barty and Alfie (the cockapoo) and I often go and dog-sit when they go away or they drop them round my flat. I miss having dogs around and would be delighted to look after yours. I work full-time in an office so I am not suitable for pets that need constant companionship. I would walk and feed your pet before and/or after work. Over the weekends I can be present the whole time and adapt to your and your pets' preferences. I am in a second floor flat so your pet would need to be comfortable with stairs. We have a lovely shared garden where I can take your pet for bathroom breaks. I have a spacious flat with plenty of room for your pet to roam and I will ensure that they have a comfy place to lie/sit/sleep depending on their preferences.
About: I had a dog when I was growing up in Italy during my teenage years for 13 years. After that, I had two cats (who are basically my whole world), but they are currently in Italy with my parents. So I completely understand what it means to go on vacation and not have anyone to look after your little fur babies. And that’s where I come in. I will do my absolute best to make your pets feel at home, loved, cuddled, and give them all the attention and care they need. I work full-time in healthcare, so being responsible, organised and attentive comes naturally to me. Your pet’s wellbeing and your home will always be treated with respect. I am working 42 hours weekly in a nursing home in Branksome, doing 3 long days (7-19) and one half day every week (7-13 or 13-19). I live in a flat really close to the beach. I have no garden, but I’m happy to take your dog for a walk by the beach, run together, have fun and enjoy the sun.
About: I love all animals and usually am loved by all animals :) I am friendly, resourceful, punctual, committed and easy-going. Thank you for taking time to view my profile :) I currently work one day a week, so I have plenty of time to take care and have fun with your pet, ensuring their safety and wellbeing. I live in a flat on the first floor by myself. It is a spacious two-bed, two-bath flat, where your pet would feel safe and have room to play and explore.
About: Providing care and enrichment for your adored animals is at the heart of what I do. I have plenty of experience working with animals of all ages and breeds, some of whom can be seen in the photos on my profile. From dog sitting in their own home, walks around local country parks and villages to at-home visits to provide food and company. I can administer medications and provided tailored care to your pet. I love to be part of an animal's life and build a connection so should you ever need somebody to take care of your pet, you can put your faith in me. I am incredibly flexible and have lots of time to cater to the needs of you and your pets. Caring for animals is at the heart of what I love to do so I always have time to fit in pet care around my schedules. Very happy and keen to listen to you, the owner, to what works best for yourself, your loved animal your home. Flexible to cater to the needs of each individual pet in terms of length of walks, needing to be crated and warming up to new people. I am a strong woman and can easily hold a lead with a strong dog safely.
“Annalea is wonderful! She took care of my cat for a long weekend and she did an amazing job. Annalea is so crazy about animals, my cat loved her instantly. She sent me pictures, so sweet, and was very flexible. You can reach her quickly and she's very communicative. I would definitely recommend choosing Annalea to take care of your pet, she takes away all your worries and spoils it with cuddles and attention.”
About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for a variety of dogs with different needs and personalities. I am canine first aid trained and have been working full-time as a dog walker and pet sitter for the past five months, gaining practical experience in a wide range of real life situations. I care for my own Romanian rescue dog, who I walk, feed and keep mentally stimulated through training, enrichment games, and regular exercise. When we first brought her home, I attended training classes with her, focusing on building her confidence, teaching good manners, and introducing basic commands and tricks. As she can be slightly reactive, this has given me valuable experience in reading canine body language and helping dogs feel calm, safe, and supported in different environments. Alongside this, I have also supported clients by attending puppy training classes, reinforcing consistency and positive behaviours outside of sessions. My partner and I regularly care for his family’s two Springer Spaniels, Amber and Bleu, ensuring they are well exercised, fed, and given plenty of playtime, affection, and attention. Their high energy levels have strengthened my ability to provide engaging, active care while maintaining structure and routine. With experience ranging from sensitive rescue dogs to lively puppies and energetic breeds, I am confident in adapting my approach to suit each individual dog, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times. I’m at uni until about 5 PM on weekdays, so I’m available to care for pets in the evenings and at night, as well as full days on weekends. I can provide walks, playtime, meals and plenty of attention after classes and I’m happy to work with owners to create a routine that fits their pet’s needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to respect their space and routines while keeping them safe and comfortable. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, and any special needs, and I make sure the environment is calm, secure, and stress-free. I give plenty of attention, play, and companionship so pets feel happy and cared for while their owners are away.

Andrea was very attentive to our cats. She was very on point and asked lots of questions to make sure she is able to give the best care for Rafi and Mika. She followed all the information provided and kept the flat tidy. I will definitely be using her again in the future.
We booked Savannah last minute to drop in to our dog & cat twice during the day/evening. She was so quick to respond to our request & sent us messages & lots of lovely photos. Would highly recommend Savannah, she is very friendly, very good with our pets & totally reliable.
Jordan and Andrew were great! Titch is a very anxious boy and very much so around strangers. Jordan sent me messages and photos of Titch every day and he seemed very happy. It was a big weight off my mind to know he was being looked after so well. I came home to a content little cat 🐈 😻
This was the 2nd time we have used Lauren to look after our bengal cat. Lauren was very professional and kept us fully informed with photos and updates. She changed her litter regularly and cleaned up the odd accident and made a fuss of her. We would highly recommend Lauren and will continue to use her whenever we go away.
I never felt so confident leaving my house and my cat alone for a longer time. I received a lot of pictures and updates about my cat from Emily - twice a day! On average 15 pictures a day, so I was sure my cat is happy. I highly recommend Emily to anyone who loves their cats and their house. Thank you Emily!!!!
From the moment we contacted Klaudia to look after our kitten she was accommodating to our dates and times around the Christmas holidays. We had left it last minute, so it was a huge relief, especially as it's our first pet and it was a new situation for us. Klaudia kindly came to visit before the first booking to meet Earl, and I could immediately tell she was kind hearted and cared about animals. Klaudia went above and beyond for us and we will contact her every time we are away, don't hesitate to book her to look after your furry family!
My cat is very anxious so it was very reassuring to have a quiet, calm person such as Maria looking after her. This is our first time using a sitter/drop in and I'm very keen to have Maria back again later in the New Year. It was lovely to get all the feedback and photos from her too. Very reassuring when you are a long way from home. Thanks Maria.
Amy came to do day check ins for my mother in laws cat, its the 1st time weve used a cat sitter and she was fantastic! Daily check ins and photos of Poppy, poppy looked very content and obviously really liked Amy. Took the stress away for us and our mum!! Thanks Amy!! We will book Amy again in the future when we need a cat sitter :)
This was the first time leaving my furbaby Echo. She is a blind kitten so it was even harder to leave her for a week. Greg came in and saw her everyday, to start with she was shy, but in the end she was won over. He messaged when he got there, and gave me updates everyday and sent lots of photos, and responded to messages really quickly. He has gone above and beyond for Echo, and I can’t thank him enough for making a week away from Echo much easier, especially as I knew she was being so well looked after! Will 100% be back in touch again when the time is needed.
