“Angelika and her partner were great hosts, made Harry very welcome and sent several photos and videos of his holiday with them. Also made sure the walks were well timed and in accordance with the hot weather. Really delighted and would recommend to anyone.”

“Between Sophie and I we had good communication, she sent lots of update messages and George seemed tired when he came home. Ours was an overnight stay, dropping off on Saturday and collecting on Sunday, George seemed very happy to be left in Sophie's care.”

“Penelope clearly had a lovely time staying with Amy and her boyfriend, and seemed to be missing them after we came back to pick her up. Amy sent me photos while she was taking care of Penelope and she seems super happy. We will definitely book Amy again for our next holiday. I will highly recommend her!!!”


About: I grew up with dogs and my oldest dog was born in my bedroom along with 10 of her siblings! She was beautiful and 16years old when she became the angel she always was. I work full time but available on weekends for boarding. Dogs are allowed at my work place so I can do weekdays if your dog is comfortable around other dogs. I have a fenced garden and plenty open green space in my area. My house is open plan layout which gives plenty of space to play fetch for a small pup. I have trained my dogs in the past so can do it if you want me to.

“Grant is nothing short of GRAND 🎉 Teddy had a fantastic time with Grant. He was really nervous at the beginning, but Grant’s approach made him friendly and close. He even had his first off leash run while staying there and came back a tired boy 😁 We will surely be booking Grant again should we need it. Thank you Grant for having Teddy 😊”

“Sausage had a fantastic few days with Sonya and Lee, he has come home so relaxed and fell straight asleep in the car so I know he's had lots of playtime and lovely walks. Sonya kept me up-to-date throughout his stay with photos and videos. Communication was brilliant and I really appreciated the flexibility on pick up time. We'll definitely let you know next time we're in the area, so he has familiar faces to come back to!”

“Joan and Phil were absolutely wonderful with my dog Indi. She was so well looked after in their lovely home and beautiful garden and came back happy and relaxed. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such caring hands - would highly recommend!”


“Hanna and her family were lovely, caring and just simply awesome!! We received regular, timely updates and Diamond had a whale of a time playing with them and their lovely, friendly little dog, Rocky. Diamond would definitely, 100% love to stay again and is already missing his new best friend Rocky!! Thanks so much for taking such great care of him.”

“Katiuzca was amazing with Poppy. She instantly made Poppy part of her family and I had lots of lovely photos of her 'holiday'. I wouldn't hesitate to use again. I had plenty of feedback and Poppy was happy to be with Katiuzca”

“Dill had such a happy stay with Amy. It was his first visit and he thoroughly enjoyed himself! He loved his walks and got on really well with Amy’s lovely little dog Poppy. Thank you! Will definitely be back again.”


About: With over 5 years of experience in pet sitting, starting from my time in Liverpool to my current home in Poole, I offer a professional and highly personalized service. What sets me apart is my ability to provide a consistent "work-from-home" presence; your dog will be under my direct supervision throughout the entire day, ensuring they never feel lonely or anxious. I have extensive experience with puppy training support, helping maintain routines for young dogs, as well as providing gentle senior care for older pets who need a calmer pace and extra attention. My resident Dachshund, Nina, is excellently socialized, making my home an ideal environment for dogs who enjoy calm canine company. I am a firm believer in positive reinforcement and clear communication. I pride myself on being extremely organized with feeding schedules and specific medical needs. While I live in a family environment that provides a warm atmosphere, I am the sole professional caregiver, managing all walks, training reinforcement, and specialized care myself to ensure the highest standards of safety and attention for your furry family member. Pet care is the heart of my daily routine. As I work from home for Airbnb, I am present throughout the entire day, providing constant supervision and companionship. My schedule is built around the dogs: we start with a morning walk at 8:30 AM, followed by a midday stroll at 1:00 PM, and a late afternoon walk around 5:00 PM. Because I am always home, I can easily adapt to any specific potty breaks or feeding schedules your pet requires, ensuring they feel secure and settled in a professional "home-office" environment. Safety is my absolute priority. I manage all pet care personally in my home, which features a fully fenced and secure garden for safe outdoor play. Indoors, pets stay with me in my dedicated home office or the main living area, always under my direct watch. I maintain a calm and respectful atmosphere, and I only accept dogs that are well-socialized and friendly. Whether your dog needs their own crate for naps or prefers a cozy spot on the sofa, I ensure a controlled, stress-free environment where they are monitored and loved 100% of the time.
“Wendy was incredibly kind to my little rescue dog, Buddy. She cared for him like a prince. I couldn’t ask for more. She has a lovely home and garden and is experienced with animals.”

“Carolina was so welcoming and caring to our puppy, Ginger. It was the first time we left her and she had a great time. She came back tired and happy from all the play with Carolina’s dog and son. I couldn’t feel better about the experience. Thank you!”

“Gemma was fantastic from the start, great communication and arranged for us to meet with Rusty so we could see where he would be staying before his planned visit. We had regular updates during his stay and could see he was very happy and well looked after. Thank you Gemma and Rob.”

“Pati is amazing! She is really a dog lover. She took care of our puppy very well. We also had a meet to see where our puppy will stay. We could communicate very well. I believe our puppy had a great time with Pati and her dog, Gaia. She also provided some very useful information about feeding our puppy. I do re-book her. Thank you!”

About: Hi everyone! I’m a huge dog lover and I’m keen to provide a safe and loving, home away from home feeling for your four legged friends! I’ve grown up with dogs and until recently, I was living with my sister and her gorgeous labrador so I know that they really are a part of the family. I’m attentive and focus on creating a calm, safe, and fun environment where pets feel at home. I will always make sure to keep you updated with regular photos, messages, and progress notes so you can see what you’re friends are getting up throughout the day. Feel free to ask any questions! I’m currently working part-time so am off one day in the week plus weekends. I also have plenty of time in the afternoons/evenings to provide walks, exercise, play, cuddles and company. I have a large fenced garden with plenty of grass for your pups to run around and play when we’re not out and about. Whilst we’re at home they’ll be able to wander in and out and get as much fresh air and space as they need.

About: Hi! I’m Elle, a lifelong animal lover who has been caring for pets since childhood. For me, animals are family, and I treat every pet as if they were my own - making sure they feel safe, happy, and truly loved while you’re away. I have experience with dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, senior pets, and more nervous or shy animals. I understand that every pet is unique, so I will take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs to ensure they feel comfortable and relaxed. I offer dog walking, pet sitting, and drop-in visits, and I’m happy to help with feeding, playtime, companionship, and plenty of exercise. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing with their favourite toys, relaxing cuddles on the sofa, or just having someone calm and caring around, I’ll make sure they feel at home. I also have my own little dog, Luca, who is 13 years old. He’s a gentle, sweet soul who is very friendly and relaxed around both dogs and cats, helping create a calm and welcoming environment in our home. I love spending time in nature and at the beach, so your dog can enjoy enriching walks and fresh air as part of their care. I’m reliable, attentive, and always happy to send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in safe hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! 🐾 My work schedule varies so I’m available for boarding at the weekends, alongside some week days. I’ll have plenty of time to provide the care and attention your fur babies need. I have a small but cosy home where your fur baby is very welcome. There is a secure outside area. They will also have the company of my dog Luca. Beach walks are a key part of our day 🥰🐾
Bournemouth pet owners share their Rover experiences
Fantastic! From the first meeting we were confident Sam would have a great time with Gemma and her family and it certainly proved the case. With daily updates, pictures and videos we could see how happy and settled he was and it meant we could enjoy our holiday just that little bit more!

Chani had a lovely day with Angelika and her dog Yanka. Chani is a bit senior and a bit nervous but Yanka was very respectful of her space and had a calming presence. I received several updates and lovely photos throughout the day. Chani was peacefully sleeping with Yanka and another doggy, each having plenty of space while also enjoying the presence of the others. Angelika is very reliable and takes great care of the different needs of every dog. Her house is safe, clean and welcoming. I think Chani would be very happy to go back and we would not hesitate booking again.

Our little Fraggle had a wonderful time with Rachel during his first ever 5 days away. He was well looked after, cared for and doted on. So much so he seemed grumpy to come home to a house without other dogs!🤣 We wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Rachel was attentive and kept us constantly updated with pictures and messages. Thank you x

Our dogs absolutely loved staying with Maria. She sent us updates with pictures and videos everyday and made us feel so comfortable they were being so well looked after. Russell and Stanley were both so settled and happy in her home, we recommend Maria and we will be using her again in future.

Angela and her family took such wonderful care of Bella. I felt completely comfortable and reassured that she was having a great time with her updates, and they not only met her needs but treated her like a member of their own family. I would recommend Angela to anyone.

Winnie is so happy staying with Sophie and James. She has lots of lovely walks and loves all the cuddles she gets. Even more important to us is that Sophie treats Winnie as one of her family and keeps us up to date with what Winnie is up to. Sophie is also friendly and professional. We will certainly be asking Sophie to look after Winnie again in the future.🥰🥰

Jordan made an condition with Lilly almost immediately, she's not easy to do it. He was very pontual and interesed in knowing what Lilly would need during her stay with him. He followed our instructions greatly, Lilly seems very happy and healthy when we picked her back. I would recommend Jordan and definitely will nook him again for Lilly.

I had a really positive experience with this dog boarding service. Victoria and Joe took great care of Kiki , including taking her on regular walks. I also received photos and updates during the stay, which gave me peace of mind and showed that my dog was happy and well looked after. I would definitely recommend them to other dogs owners

Amanda was interested in understanding Zara's needs and routine to ensure her stay was a happy one which was appreciated. Zara settled quickly and the family did well to involve her and play with her etc. I was also kept informed of how Zara was getting on over the course of her 2 day stay via messages and pictures which was very reassuring.

Barnaby had a great time, he came to us and was more settled than with previous sitters which was very reassuring! Amy provided consistent updates and enjoyed Barnaby’s company so much that she asked to delay our pick up time so she could spend longer at the beach with him!

Nathan and Sylvia have looked after Mabel several times and I am always very happy to leave her with them. They keep me posted with photos and updates so I know how she is. Today they took her to the beach and even have her a bath afterwards. I absolutely recommend them as dog sitters

Jack had the best time with Gilly. He absolutely loves being there and hanging out with Summer. They're such a wonderful double act together, a real Little and Large, and Summer is so generous and tolerant with him. Seeing Summer bring over a toy to him so he can take one end and they can play tug is lovely to see. It's such a comfort to know that he's having his own holiday good times and to get photo updates showing the fun he's having..

Absolutely delighted with Sonyia.. Pixie was contented well looked after and her needs were understood. Not only did she look after my precious dog she made my bed for me so that I didn’t have to do that when I returned from Paris absolutely exhausted it was such a help. I would recommend her to anyone. I’m so pleased to have met her unused her Services. I’m sure I will again.
