Dog Sitting in Bournemouth

About: We have had dogs as family pets my whole life and I have experience with all sorts of breeds from working as a veterinary nurse. I am currently waiting to start a counselling course so have lots of spare time and spend most of my days going for walks along the beach and as well as runs if your dog enjoys them too! I am a trained veterinary nurse but dog sitting but dog sitting and walking is now my main job so your beloved pet will have my full attention whilst in my care. I am available any day for short or long stays and dog walking and drop in visits. I have a flat with its own private enclosed garden. You can be sure that your pet will be in safe and experienced hands, will be walked, played with and well cared for whilst with me.

“Melissa looked after our senior cat for two weeks and it was a great experience. She was sending everyday updates because we missed our fluffy girl. Will definitely book Melissa next time 🥰”

“We met Olivia beforehand and knew we could trust her in looking after our cat! Would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for their fur baby”

“Amy dropped in to see our cat Mitsy and spend a little time with her whilst we were away. Amy is very conscientious, sent us updates and photos which is reassuring and lovely to see. We've already booked her in for our next holiday. Thanks Amy :)”

“Sarah looked after my cat Peggy while I was on a short trip. She visited twice a day and sent regular updates which was reassuring and good to see that Peggy was being looked after. After her initial hesitancy, my cat really started to warm to her and I would be happy for Sarah to look after her again next time I go away ☺️”

About: I've had dogs since 2011 of my own, I think I love them the most. I put their wellbeing first and make sure I follow owners rules. I will do everything to ensure they are well exercised if they need, no matter how long the walk, they will be loved, made to feel special and kept in sight. I'm currently not working, so am available at all time of day and night. For walks, sitting or hosting. I can be available with short notice I have a small patio that is walled and has some bushes to rummage in. I will always keep the dog in sight regardless of in my home or an owners. Will adhere to feeding and treat and diet rules and only treat the dogs like princes and princesses!!

About: I’ve grown up with family dogs since I was 12 and have taken each of my own pups through puppy classes — never afraid to get stuck into the training, chores, and yes, plenty of poop-scooping along the way! My mum is a dog walker, and I’ve joined her on countless walks, so I’m confident caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I know all the best local spots for safe and fun walks, and while I can’t have a dog of my own right now, I have a lot of love to give and would be thrilled to share that with your pup. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand how important trust and peace of mind are when choosing someone to care for your furry family member — and that’s exactly what I provide. 🐾 I work for the NHS as an Occupational Therapist with a flexible schedule. Three days a week I work from home, which makes me easily available for walks, visits, and toilet breaks. On my office days I’m still out and about in the car locally, so I can pop in as needed. My partner Sean is a postman for Royal Mail so finishes by 3 and can be there if I can’t be. Being a driver means travel is no issue, and I can fit visits around my day to make sure your pup is happy and cared for. 🐾 I can host pets in my own home, but I’d also be happy to care for your pup in the environment they know best — keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. I’ll follow your instructions, give them plenty of love, and take them on safe, fun walks (I know all the best local spots!). I’m also happy to take dogs in the car for adventures a little further afield. My goal: a happy pup and peace of mind for you. 🐾

About: Ever since I was born we have had dogs as pets in the family home. I am therefore very much used to looking after dogs and meeting all their requirements. I love taking dogs for long walks, playing with them and having cuddles! I also have a number of years of experience of house sitting which has involved looking after three gorgeous dogs of varying shapes, sizes and ages! I feel comfortable and competent looking after animals and you can trust me to love and care for your pet! I am a doctor currently working in Poole hospital. I have most weekends off and the occasional weekday free. I love looking after people’s pets but will only commit to this on a day when I am off and able to give the animal the full care and attention they need! I live very close to local parks and the beach so have easy access to lots of green space for them to run around in. There are no other pets or children in the house.

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of a wide range of breeds, ages, and temperaments, and have been providing pet care services for over a year. My priority is always to provide attentive, individualised care tailored to each dog’s needs, routines, and personality. I am also experienced in caring for dogs with medical conditions and am comfortable following medication schedules, special routines, and detailed care instructions. I share my home with Yanka, my young Border Collie, who joined our family in May 2025. Caring for a highly intelligent and energetic breed has strengthened my understanding of canine behaviour, training, enrichment, and exercise requirements. Over the years, I have cared for multiple dogs simultaneously, including Border Collies, Dachshunds, Jack Russell Terriers, West Highland White Terriers, Cocker Spaniels, Labradors, Samoyeds, Cockapoos, Poodles, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Rottweilers, and many others. I have also looked after an Australian Terrier and her five puppies for a full week. These experiences have given me valuable skills in managing different temperaments, maintaining routines, supervising play, and ensuring each dog’s wellbeing and comfort. My home provides a safe, calm, and welcoming environment where dogs can relax, play, and enjoy regular outdoor exercise. I am committed to providing reliable, responsible, and loving care, treating every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to ensure both pets and owners feel confident, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay. DBS Checked Pet First Aid & CPR Trained I have flexible working hours and primarily work from home. Occasionally, I need to visit clients, but those appointments depend on my availability, so I can easily schedule them around pet care needs. I provide a safe, clean, and welcoming home for pets. My house has a good sized, fully fenced garden where pets can play and get fresh air in a secure space. I also have a friendly and well socialised dog who gets along well with other animals, which can be a great companion for visiting pets. Supervision and safety are always my top priorities, indoors and outdoors.

“Iris is lovely and dropped in on Eddie at short notice - we gave her a bunch of instructions and nothing was too much trouble, thank you Iris! would recommend!”

“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.”

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. 🐾

About: I have taken care of young energetic puppies through to older dogs, as well as cats! Not only am I trusted with other peoples pets, I love doing it too! I am Available during the week and weekend. I play tennis tournaments and dates do vary with availability but will make sure to give you notice!! Dogs and cats can be escape artists. I'll make sure to Supervise, with a safe environment even in a fenced yard or on a balcony.

About: I’ve been around all different types of breeds of dogs since I was born, lots of family pets and looking after family friends animals. I have trained puppies into adults. I love big and small dogs. I’ve recently transitioned into a full time office position, Mon - Thurs and a half day on a Friday. Depending on location, I would be able to pop in/out mid day for a walk and to let them out for the toilet. From July I will be able to work from home a few days during the week, if you’re happy for me to bring my laptop then please let me know if this would work for you. I understand not all dogs and owners like the idea of them being left alone for certain time periods so please keep this in mind when booking. I would love to be able to make bookings work around this and would make up for that period of time away with lots of cuddles. I will love your pet like they’re my own, taking care of their needs in your home. Lots of cuddles, treats, bonding and long walks.

“Klaudia was fantastic! She took great care of my two kitties while we were on holiday, sending me messages and pictures to let me know they were doing well. I felt very comfortable that they were in safe hands, and I will definitely be asking Klaudia to watch them again!”

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: I’ve taken care of my family dog since I was 10, feeding, bathing and walking her. I’ve also looked after a number of friends and family’s dogs- including staying in their house overnight to care for the dog and taking them on walks I have a part-time job in a cafe but my schedule is quite flexible so would be able to do drop-ins, walks, and house-sits. Live in a rented house with a small garden and am happy for a pet to stay at my house or care for the pet at your home
