Dog Sitting in Bournemouth

“Sarah was brilliant. Clear communication throughout, lots of photos and she even managed to get my grumpy cat to sit on her lap - she is definitely a cat expert! I would happily ask her to look after Kiwi again.”

About: We've been on the Rover app for a year now and have had experience in looking after a range of different dogs, all have been very positive visits. We have 3 young people who love dogs and will give extra attention and care for your dog. We're usually available from Friday evenings and over the weekends to look after your dog. Day time walks and overnight stays are welcome. We will also be available for some school holidays. We have a large front room and upstairs rooms where your dog will be welcome. We have a medium sized enclosed garden where your dog will have extra outside space to play.

About: Growing up on the farm has its perks. I was always surrounded by animals and cats and dogs has always had a special place in our home. I have years of experience training and looking after large dogs (my rottweiler passed away), training them and knowing their character. My house is currently ruled by 2 indoor cats who are living their best life and I am their servant. I am a very active person who enjoys long walks, outdoor time and being active, therefore a companion with similar passions would be ideal. A morning and evening walk is guaranteed or a lot of times - a day out and about! The dog will have access to the garden and our spacious home too while cats can enjoy their time napping in a location of their choice, play time, grooming. Me and my partner Vlad will always be available to care for your pet. GARDEN - is fully fenced and secured for your dog to have some outdoor time or potty if needed. HOUSE - our home is a three bedroom spacious house. Your cat can be separated and place into one of the bedrooms if needed to provide a safe space if not okay with other cats.

About: I’ve been looking after senior dogs, puppies and everything in between since I was 19. I would regularly beg my neighbours to let me walk their dogs because I didn’t have my own and love dogs with all my heart! This lead to looking at after their dogs when they went on holidays or when they were working during the week. When my family got their poodle in recent years I’ve learned how to potty train and teach tricks to puppies! I’ve been around German Shepards, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Shih Tzus and share a love for all breeds! I have a lot of free time during the working week to walk and take care of dogs. I work a rostered work schedule which allows me to regularly take care of my family’s dog and walk her twice daily and bathe her when she’s had a muddy time. I am very attentive to a dogs needs and can provide a loving and caring atmosphere to all aged and sized dogs. Any specific feeding or grooming requirements will be met to make a dog owners life that little bit easier so they can have more fun times with their pet!

“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!”

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 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 so your doggy would need to be ok with them when at our home. 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 this year. 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 daytimes and some evenings for dog sitting 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've always had animals in my life and really enjoy their company. I've had experience with a mixture of breeds, ages and all sizes. I took my previous dog to puppy training classes so am familiar with the basics and of course adaptable to your preferences. I work 9-5 in the center of Bournemouth which is a 5 minute drive from where I live. I'm able to go home during my hour long lunch and have the option to work from home some days. Most of the time available on weekends, I love going out for walks so would be able to take them with me as I don’t have a dog of my own at the moment. I live in a first floor flat close to the beach in the Branksome Park/Westbourne area. It's a very safe and secure area. I have a 2 year old Male Maine Coon Cat who stays indoors and is able to be separated to his own area if necessary.

About: I’ve had a dog for 15 years. I have taken care of pets for family, friends and as part time work. I have walked, fed and bathed dogs whilst dog sitting. I also have experience with senior dogs and am very attentive and compassionate when it comes to taking care of them. I am a food and drink marketer who works hybrid 3 days WFH & 2 days in a dog friendly office in Surrey per week. I work flexible hours so can fit in looking after your doggy in my day and can even bring them to work with me! I live in a lovely home in Ensbury park, with a large garden. I house share with 3 others who are all dog friendly and there are no permanent pets at the house.

“Thanks so much Amy. We came back to a very cheerful Fluffy. We hope you can visit him again soon!”

About: I’ve looked after numerous dog breeds before so very confident in my ability to care for your dog. My parents also have a dog so I have lots of experience looking after dogs. I am an active person who loves exercise. I can walk and dog sit houses in London before August and in Bournemouth during August/ September. I love to spend time with dogs, taking them out for walks and playing with them. I set alarms to make sure they are fed on time.

About: People say dogs are a man's best friend. Who says they can't be a woman's best friend:). I am a massive dog lover, going on walks and being surrounded by dogs, especially living so close to the beach. I have been recently looking for jobs around Bournemouth but haven't been lucky finding any jobs. My close friend suggested I create a dog business, providing my own services involving dog sitting, dog walking, and doggy daycare. I am fairly new to this business, but I am reliable and promise to take good care of your dog. I am very relaxed and flexible, happy to help when I am needed. I am available every day, anytime during the day. Preferably mornings would be ideal. When dog sitting and staying at someone's house I will make sure to check fence gates before letting a dog outside. Always lock the doors, and make sure you don’t step outside without the key. Do one last check making sure I don't forget anything. I’m currently working part time as a babysitter, so I’ll have plenty of time to play and look after your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 2pm. I have a fenced yard and two friends dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate for your dog if needed not a problem.

About: Hi, We're Matt and Laura. We're a couple of dog lovers! But we both work full time and we think it wouldn't be fair to leave them on their own for long hours. So we have been looking after some others people dogs over the last couple of years (mainly using BorrowMyDoggy app). We recently moved to a ground floor flat with a nice garden, so we are looking for new dog friends!! We have a Monday-Friday job. We usually finish around 6pm so we will be able to do the evening walk. We are free all day on the weekends if we get some notice. We have a fence garden, but we also are very on top of them to make sure they are ok, soecially if it's the first time with them.

About: I have experience with a variety of dogs, including rescues and non-rescues, and I understand that each dog has its own personality, needs, and pace. I’m confident handling all kinds of temperaments, and always take care to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and enriched during our time together - whether it's a long walk or a relaxed drop-in visit. I’m a student at Arts University Bournemouth and a lifelong animal lover. Since moving away to university I’ve really missed the daily companionship and routine that comes with having pets around, which is what inspired me to join Rover. This also gives me a great reason to get outdoors, stay active, and enjoy more fresh air, all while doing something I genuinely love. As a student, I have availability that those in full time work may not - including both weekdays and weekends. I also have the time, and hours, to dedicate to your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to understand your pet’s individual needs, routines and personalities - carefully following your instructions, keeping your pet(s) happy within my care. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone new, and so I am to make that experience feel smooth and reliable.

“Federica was great! Both my cats felt comfortable having her around straight away! She was on time and communicative, sending updates after her visit - we'll definitely see her again! :)”

About: I have taken care of dogs and all kinds of pets ever since I can remember. I have a deep love for animals and I am here to help fellow pet owners out and meet friendly furry friends. I can take care of animals on usually from a Thursday till Sunday. Weekdays will occasionally be open too. I am extremely active and will walk and take care of your pet with 24hr care. I live alone in a spacious flat. This flat is in a very safe area with no cars and a fenced garden. I have a large patio with a garden area and it is a 2 minute walk to the beach for long dog walks.

About: So I have grown up with dogs in my family and as I've moved out longed to have dogs around me. Recently since moving to Bournemouth I have had three friends buy new puppies and I have looked after all three separately. Mainly a working cocker spaniel called bronson since he was a puppy. Looking after him over night, for evenings and even for weekends. Also looking after a mini daschaund with a lot of attitude lol. I work mon-fri until about 3pm so am free most afternoons/evenings to look after lonely doggos. Also love walking so a dog is always welcome on weekends if it suits my plans. I love dogs and not having one im my home means whenever I look after one they get a lot of my attention, I will make them feel welcome and comfortable as much as I can

About: My dogs nearly 7 years old and I've trained, walked and cared for him his whole life. He's a character so a little mischief is not unexpected. Currently evenings and weekends but soon will be able to do all day, everyday so the availability will change to a better routine soon :) I like to keep routines to keep any puppas trained and lots of playing and walking because all dogs deserve lots of play time and outside time
