Pet Sitting in Bournemouth

“Aljona is the most responsible, caring, trustworthy and reliable person I know. She was looking after my dog when I was at long days at work and according to the pictures she showed me they had a pleasant and fun time together. I could recommend Aljona to look after any pet. I feel happy and confident entrusting her with my dog.”

About: I've been a dog owner for 5 years and currently own, love on and look after 2 dogs- Paco, a 5 year old Yorkie, and Crumpet, a 2 year old Pomeranian. I walk them daily, feed them, bathe them and shower them with love! I have experience with looking after and supporting reactive/ nervous dogs. I also regularly interact with our family's other 3 dogs. I can provide house sitting, dog walks, drop ins and more. I have a fun loving and gentle approach to all animals. If you have any questions please just get in touch 😊 I work full time Monday- Thursday and for a few hours Friday morning, however I work from home for at least half of the week so have plenty of time to look after your pets! I can provide home visits and/ or dog walks in the morning and evening (and lunchtime if in close enough proximity to my home). On Friday afternoons and weekends I have full flexibility with timings and can also do house sitting Friday or Saturday night. I have a gentle and calm approach to all pets, and have experience with nervous dogs. I can crate a dog where needed. On walks I prefer to keep other people's dogs on the lead, and so will ensure your dog is on the lead and safe at all times 🐾

“Amy pet sat for me and did a fantastic job. Freddy is a rescue dog and doesn’t tend to deal well with strangers but seemed to warm to Amy almost instantly. 10/10 service, incredibly friendly- will be using her to pet sit again.”

“Ruby is great with all my animals and always reliable. Such a kind young lady! My dogs get super excited to see her. 100% recommendation.”

Highly recommend.”

“Guler stepped in at very short notice to sit with my dog It was very clear from the moment she met them they were going to get on and that Guler was going to really enjoy looking after them. Guler played with them in the house and garden and sent me lots of lovely pictures. I would definitely use Guler again.”

About: As a passionate and responsible individual with a genuine love for animals, I consistently strive to provide exceptional care and companionship to my clients' beloved pets. My motivation to be a pet sitter is rooted in a deep passion for animals and a sincere desire to contribute to their wellbeing. From a young age, I have fostered a profound connection with animals, recognising them as cherished companions deserving of love, care, and understanding. This inherent love for pets has been a guiding force throughout my life, influencing my decision to become a pet sitter in my spare time (I work as a Design Manager in the water industry). Being a pet sitter aligns perfectly with my values and interests. The prospect of creating a nurturing and comfortable environment for pets in the absence of their owners resonates with me. I understand the responsibility and trust that comes with caring for someone's beloved animals, and I am committed to providing the same level of attention and affection as their owners would. Moreover, my motivation extends beyond the surface-level responsibilities of a pet sitter. I am genuinely intrigued by the unique personalities, needs, and quirks of each pet. The opportunity to forge meaningful connections with animals, ensuring not only their physical wellbeing but also their emotional happiness, is something I find incredibly rewarding. While I may not have extensive professional experience in pet sitting, I have been the proud owner of several dogs throughout my life, encompassing a diverse range of breeds and temperaments. Some of my key skills include: - A comprehensive understanding of pet behaviour, gained through extensive research, allowing me to anticipate and address the unique needs of different breeds. - Excellent communication skills, where I prioritise effective communication with pet owners to understand specific care instructions and provide updates on their pets' wellbeing. - Physical fitness, particularly essential for dogs, as their wellbeing often relies on regular exercise. I am physically fit and capable of providing dogs with the necessary physical activity to keep them happy and healthy. In summary, my motivation to be a pet sitter stems from a heartfelt connection with animals, a commitment to their holistic wellbeing, and a desire to contribute to a service that shares my values. I am eager to bring my passion and dedication to Rover and create a positive and enriching experience for both pets and their owners. I am currently working full time so I have time for pet sitting at the weekends but I can also accommodate services on weekdays after 6pm and overnight stays most days. I ask about the specific needs of the pet as different species and breeds have unique requirements. I follow the pet owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, portion sizes, and dietary restrictions and I ensure access to clean and fresh water at all times. I engage in regular playtime and exercise routines as specified by the pet owner, and take dogs for walks, play with cats using toys, or provide other appropriate activities for the pet's species. I keep the living environment clean by regularly cleaning litter boxes, cages, or designated pet areas, and I dispose of waste properly and maintain a hygienic living space. I monitor the pet's health and behaviour, and promptly report any concerns to the owner. I always stay in regular contact with the pet owner, providing updates on the pet's wellbeing.

About: I’ve had so many pets over the years. Cats, dogs, rabbits, ferrets, mice etc. I love all things fluffy. I have been part of dog walking groups whilst living in New Zealand. I am self employed so looking get out and about and how better than with a fluffy friend or two? I am available whenever :) I would say that I would treat anyone’s home like my own but I would treat it better. I am paranoid about locking gates and doors so I will check them 385294 times before leaving.

“Jennifer has cared for my dogs multiple times and they always come home happy and relaxed! She has a natural way with dogs and is very knowledgeable and caring. My dogs love her! I was kept up to date regularly and sent photos of their adventures. I would definitely use Jennifer again in future!”

“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! :)”

“I found Klaudia to be a very responsible person who truly enjoys caring for animals. She quickly bonded with my dog and has provided excellent care. She’s always super keen to get out the house, even if it’s chucking it down outside! Our senior German Shepherd absolutely loved her.”

“Anastacia cares for my cats as if they were her own. She is extremely professional, responsible, and caring. She is very flexible and reliable and has made my life much easier. Her scheduling system is very easy to use and she provides very personalized care- easy to reach and gives updates after her visits. Fully recommended !”

“Sarah has grown up with pets in the house. She loves and enjoys all animals from the hamsters and guinea pigs she had as a child to the cats and dogs we have had and have now. She has always been responsible and caring towards all species, understanding and tending to their basic needs as well as recognising their need for love, attention and fun. Our dogs have benefited from the lovely walks and fun times they have had together. She has also cared for them when we have been away during extended holiday periods. She is trustworthy, reliable and and true lover of dogs.”
