Amy has been extremely responsive and communicative while taking my dog for lunch time walks. The information on toilet breaks, eating and drinking are great and the photos of their walk are very reassuring. Judging by my dogs tail, I'd say she's very happy with Amy and I am at ease going about my day. Thank you, Amy!

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 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 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 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!

About: ✨I have shared my life with animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with hamsters and quickly learnt how deeply you can love something so small, and how much it hurts when they are gone. These days, I share my home with two wonderful cats, one ginger and one black, who have taught me that every pet has their own little world of quirks, moods and comforts. I frequently dog sit my for my sister, who has a lovely cavachon, called Betsy! I also have experience with puppy care and used to walk dogs for my neighbours, which taught me the importance of patience, consistency and plenty of playtime. 🐾 🐶 What sets me apart from the rest is how personally I connect with each animal I look after. I do not just make sure they are fed and safe, I take the time to understand their routines, their favourite spots and the way they like to be loved. Whether it is a quiet cuddle, a playful chase or just some calm company, I make sure every pet feels secure, happy and at home.🐕🐈✨ I am currently a university student, which means my schedule is very flexible. I am only on campus on Thursdays and Fridays, so I am available to look after pets on the other days of the week!🌷 As I am currently a university student, I am unable to have dogs stay in my own home. However, I am more than happy to look after your dogs in their own environment or take them out for walks. This way, they can stay comfortable in a familiar space while still getting plenty of care, attention and exercise!🌸

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: When I was 4 years old Barney joined our family who was a German Shepherd cross Rottweiler. Growing up with Barney provided me with experience to look after bigger dogs. When Barney passed Tucker joined our family who is also a German Shepherd cross Rottweiler. Since he was a puppy I have taken care of Tucker, walking, feeding, bathing and playing with him. I love taking him swimming and paddle boarding as both Tucker and I love the sea. Over the last five years I have walked and taken care of friends and family’s dogs from small to bigger breeds of dogs. I am currently a university student at Bournemouth University with plenty of spare time on my hands! I am free to walk dogs over the weekend as I am free all day Saturday and Sunday. On weekdays I am available at different times depending on the day I am also free all day on Wednesday. I drive and have dog seatbelts and safety features for my car. I understand dog safety and what to do in different situations that may occur.

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.

About: I've been a lifelong dog lover, as my family has always had them, which means I'm comfortable caring for all kinds of personalities and needs. I have hands-on experience with the energetic play of puppies, keeping adult dogs happy and exercised, and providing gentle, patient care for senior dogs. You can trust that your dog will be in caring and capable hands. I am currently working full-time, but I'm always available for bookings on my days off. Starting at the end of September, my schedule will become even more flexible as I begin my Master's degree. Most of my university work will be done from home, which means I will have more time and availability to give your pet the attention, playtime, and walks they need. While I don't have a yard, I do have a car and love to take pets on adventures. We'll enjoy frequent trips to local parks and nature reserves for stimulating walks and playtime. My home is a quiet, calm flat, perfect for a relaxing retreat. Your pet will have plenty of dedicated time with me, whether it's for cuddles on the couch, playdates with friendly dogs, or just a peaceful afternoon nap. I believe in treating your pet like my own companion—my last dog was always by my side, so you can count on me to bring your well-behaved pet along on suitable outings.

About: I’ve looked after dogs since I was younger as my family has always had dogs. I went to puppy classes with our lad dog and helped train my friends dog. I love dogs and always will. I’m currently a uni student so looking after pets means I can fit it around my study schedule and I can still do uni work when pet sitting. I will make sure to follow any rule you have for your dog. I often make sure that even if dogs are normally let out without being watched, that I stay and watch them.

About: I have had dogs since I was 5 years old and I love walking and playing with them. I want them to feel as happy with me as I am with them. At the moment I have a little pomsky who is adorable and loves playing with other dogs. I would love to help people that need someone to look after their dog and that want that person to be as loving and caring as I am. I work from home, so I can provide day care from my home and overnight stays during the week. I work full time, but I work from home and have my dog all the time next to me. So I will pay your pet lots of attention with regular potty breaks. I have a fenced back yard and a very friendly dog that will keep your pet company! They will have lots of fun playing together. I work from home, so I can make them company and take them on regular walks. I also have a dog of my own, so they will never feel lonely. I don't let them off the leash when going outside and they are always monitored. I will also follow any instructions that the owner gives regarding the care of his/her dog.
