“5-Star Review for Our Amazing Dog Sitter! I can't say enough good things about our experience with Ruben! From the moment we met, it was clear that he truly love and understand dogs. Our baby Chino can be a little shy around new people, but they bonded almost instantly. That alone gave us such peace of mind. Throughout the stay, Ruben sent regular updates, including pictures and videos that showed Chino happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoying their time. Playtime looked like a blast! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring, we wholeheartedly recommend Ruben. He is the kind of person you hope to find but rarely do. We'll definitely be booking again!”


“Camila is extremely welcoming and made me feel at ease straight away. She keeps me updated throughout the day with pictures and how my puppy is getting on. My puppy gets so excited when Camila opens the door which makes me feel comfortable leaving her!”


“Amy looked after Daphne for us so we could have a day out with the kids whilst we were on our holiday. Amy is so friendly and I immediately knew Daphne would be in great hands. We got an update when Daphne had settled which was good to know. Amy clearly loves dogs and I would highly recommend her!”


“Bonnie seemed to have had a lovely time with Sophie and her partner today. I was a little bit nervous about leaving Bonnie with someone as this was the first time I had. They were both lovely and kept me updated during the day to let me know what Bonnie had been up too. They took her out for two long walks and Bonnie was happy and content when I collected her. Will definitely be booking in with Sophie again. Thank you again for having Bonnie!!”


“🇩🇪Wir sind aus Deutschland 🇩🇪 im Urlaub in Bournemouth und suchten eine Tagesbetreuung für unsere Hündin, da wir einen Ausflug nach London planten. Meine Hündin Yumi hat sich vom ersten Moment an bei Gilly und Summer wohlgefühlt. Ich bin sehr froh so eine erstklassige Betreuung für meinen Hund gefunden zu haben: sehr herzlich, sehr freundlich und sehr kompetent! Ich kann Gilly als Hundebetreuerin auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen. 🇬🇧 We are from Germany 🇩🇪 on holiday in Bournemouth and were looking for a day care for our dog because we were planning a trip to London.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover. I have spent years caring for a variety of pets—from dogs, cats and hamsters to guinea pigs and rabbits. Having shared my life with different animals, I truly appreciate that each one has its own personality, needs, and rhythm. I’m hands-on, caring, and focused on tailoring my approach to suit your pet—whether they’re full of energy, prefer a peaceful pace, or need a little extra patience. My goal is always to help them feel calm, safe, and loved in a new environment. That said, due to a severe allergy that developed a few years ago, I’m sadly unable to take care of cats. I work from home which provides me with full flexibility, allowing for attentive care of your pet throughout the day. Your pet will never be left alone for long and will have lots of company, affection, and engagement while staying with me. I provide a calm, pet-friendly home with attentive supervision and care based on your pet’s needs. Their well-being, comfort, and safety always come first. Please note, while I enjoy having dogs around and giving them space to relax freely, I prefer not to have them sleep in the bed-unless they're small (under 10kg). As I live in a flat, I also need to be mindful of neighbours; occasional barking is totally fine, but I'm unable to accept very vocal dogs.

About: I have a Golden Retriver that is almost 5 years old. I have been taking care of everything about it at home for 5 years. Since it is a very energetic dog, I am very experienced in taking dogs for a walk and taking care of them at home. As I am an international student in Bournemouth, my dog is currently in my hometown with my family. I am a university student in Bournemouth and my university is currently in summer break. So I have no problems with time and clock. I can fulfil any request for the dog. I live in a flat right in the centre of the town. My room and living room are big enough and I think dogs will be comfortable here. Since I live very close to the town centre, I am 1-2 minutes from Bournemouth Gardens, Upper Gardens and 5 minutes from the beach.

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 am a passionate pet lover with 12-year-old cat and beloved dog. I love spending time with pets and since I am away from my cat now due to my studies in Bournemouth, I would be so happy to spent time with your pet. Committed to providing personalized care, play and updates for you. I will make sure they will spent cheerful time with me. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate your pet’s needs. I study remotely from home that’s why, I can fit pet care into my routine.

I understand how strong the bond between a pet and its owner is, and I am happy to help those who need to go away for a while, so that their pets are never left alone.

Luna stayed with Julia for just over a week, and she kept us updated with regular photos and messages. We felt totally at peace knowing Luna was in such loving and reliable hands. It’s clear Julia genuinely cares about animals. We highly recommend Julia !”
