Dog Sitting Branksome

About: I've always had pets growing up but only been fully responsible for one. I've done pet sitting and house sitting for friends and family before. I work school hours, so I'm available during evenings, weekends and school holidays for plenty of pet cuddles! As I don't currently have a pet of my own, I'd love the opportunity to spend time getting to know and caring for yours. I know every pet is different, with their own personality, routine and little quirks, so I always take the time to get to know them and follow their owner's instructions carefully. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and loved while you're away. Whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, sticking to feeding routines or simply keeping them company, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. I'll also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

“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: 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.

About: I have taken many of my friends dogs for walks in the park. Sometimes have had the dog to stay if they have gone away for the weekend. Ideally looking to look after small dogs rather than big ones. I am very active as I play many sports so love walking and dog walking is good fun for me. Only available evenings at the moment as I am in between jobs so doing some temp work in the days. I work full time from home Monday-Friday. I am only available weekday evenings & weekends and to help if the owners goes away on holiday too. I am moving to Shrewsbury on the 9th May and my new house has a little closed fence garden. Looking forward to exploring the nearby area and go for park & river walks.

“We booked Linda to do drop ins on our elderly cat Honey while we were away for a week, she was able to do it at short notice and we had no issues at all. You can tell she loves animals and looks after them well. We had photos and an update each time she visited and could see that our cat was content and cared for, and she looked so happy to see her in the photos we were sent.. I genuinely think she will be missed! Honey had her medicine administered at each visit and was given lots of love and attention, we came home to find everything in order and any instructions followed, and with a happy cat, which is the most anyone could ask for ☺️ Linda is such a lovely, caring person and was an absolute joy to be in contact with, you can feel her love for all things small and fuzzy! I highly recommend Linda and want to thank her again for putting our minds at ease and for making each visit special 🥰❤️🙏”

“My cat is very anxious so it was very reassuring to have a quiet, calm person such as Maria looking after her. This is our first time using a sitter/drop in and I'm very keen to have Maria back again later in the New Year. It was lovely to get all the feedback and photos from her too. Very reassuring when you are a long way from home. Thanks Maria.”

About: I have done regular pet sitting through a well respected website and consistently receive 5* reviews. I am great with animals and they trust me and enjoy my calm, confident manner. I've looked after several elderly dogs but am comfortable with any age. I work part-time: 4 mornings per week (9am til 1pm) so I would be available afternoons, evenings and weekends for pet sitting assignments as needed. I often enjoy an excuse to go away for a weekend and do lots of house sitting but also enjoy having pets in my own home. I have a ground floor flat with outdoor space (unfenced) and extensive public green spaces within 3 minutes walk. When sitting in other people's homes I am clean and respectful and stick to the pet's routine.

About: I’ve had pets since 8yrs old so I’ve grown up with them and learnt to understand their behaviour! I have 1 cat and 1 dog who are very much spoilt! I have experience walking lively dogs like my family friends dog marlin ! He’s not a fan of his lead but I’m always patient with him, I also have experience with pet sitting cats and dog but for the moment I’m offering visits and walks :) I’m free most days from 9am onwards, please let me know if you require walks earlier then this and I’ll see what u can do :) Ensuring my dog is on leash at all times especially when near any roads or when passing other dogs and cats she’s unfamiliar with. And of course in the house fences are up to ensure their safety!

“Lauren been very helpful for looking after my 2 cats Joey and Marcus. She is also gentle and understanding and keep me updates news, fotos and even videos on daily basis during my holidays xx”

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.

“Thomas took our dog for a walk on a group walk. He picked up Buddy, took him for a lovely long walk down the beach, dropped him home and settled Buddy back in. Would def recommend and would love for Thomas to take Buddy for a walk again.”

About: I was raised with dogs and grew up surrounded by both cats and dogs, so being around animals has always been natural to me. I’m comfortable with different pets and personalities, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m calm, responsible, and attentive, and I try to keep things simple and consistent so pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I’m quite flexible at the moment, so I can adapt to your pet’s routine and needs. I’m available during the week and weekends. I’m respectful of your home and I try to keep things calm and consistent so pets feel comfortable. I follow their routine and keep you updated with messages and photos.

About: Having had dogs since the age of 10, I am very comfortable in walking and looking after dogs. I have experience with anxious and reactive dogs. I am happy to look after dogs of any age. I have walked dogs for 'Borry My Doggy whilst at uni and more recently having volunteered at a dog sanctuary in Portugal and worked at a dog food shop locally. I have recently returned home after travelling for 6 months and whilst looking for a more permanent job, I have come back to working on Rover. I have a lot of availability currently but will only be able to be booked with minimal advanced warning. I am happy to house-sit in your home and am very respectful and tidy. I have my own transport and am very responsible meaning I am happy to drop in as and when I am needed. For now I am unable to house sit at my own home unless it is urgent as I live with my parents and have a jealous resident dog!

“Our cat was very content around Roxana who visited him for a week while we were on holiday. She sent videos every day which was invaluable in allowing us to relax in the knowledge that our friend was in good hands. We won’t hesitate to pick her again if she’s available. Top class”

“Angel looked after my dog while we were away. She sent regular pictures and updates. She was really helpful and came to visit Casper before we left to get to know what was needed. I felt really comfortable leaving Casper with her and she is very trustworthy. Thank you so much angel. I would definitely Recommend Angel to anyone !”

About: Hi, I’m Ellie! I’ve been a dog lover my whole life and I’m a proud dog mum to Bentley, my cheeky Cavapoo, who now lives with my mum (and is thoroughly spoilt!). I know dogs aren’t just pets, they’re part of the family, so I completely understand how important it is to find someone you trust to look after them. I have a year of experience working in a doggy daycare, as well as an Animal Management Diploma, so I’m confident caring for dogs with different personalities, routines and needs. I’m available Monday to Friday and I’m happy to tailor my care around your dog, whether that means long walks, lots of playtime, keeping to their usual routine or plenty of cuddles on the sofa. Most importantly, I’ll treat your dog like I would my own and make sure they feel happy, safe and loved while they’re with me. 🐾 I have plenty of flexibility Monday to Friday, so pet care can easily fit around my routine. This means I can work around your dog’s usual schedule as much as possible, including their normal walking, feeding and rest times. I’m also happy to discuss individual routines beforehand so everything feels as familiar as possible for them. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I’ll follow any routines, boundaries and instructions you give me and make sure they have plenty of attention while in my care. If I’m looking after your pet in your home, I’ll also be respectful of your space and make sure everything is left exactly as I found it. I’m always happy to send regular photos and updates too, so you can relax knowing they’re happy and well looked after!

About: i’ve had two dogs of my own in which i have trained and look after, as well as looking after several puppies when being born which my family friend let me look after, after their female dog gave birth. i have also helped my neighbours when they have needed for me to stay at their house with their cats and dogs and walk their dogs as well as my family members i am currently unemployed as i am in between college and university which allows me to have a lot of time to look after your dogs. i have a black labrador called monty of my own in which i walk two to three times a day at the moment. i am abke to take on late notice requests which can be helpful for many who have busy schedules and have changes of plans. i love all animals, especially dogs which is why i want to spend time and get to know your pets. i am more so looking to look after dogs at the owners home, as i believe it is a safe space for the dog with the familiar smells as well as it being better for my own personal self, in which i will play with your dog such as throw tennis balls or play tug of war. i will also spend quality time with them in which i can sit and build their trust which i believe is key as dogs should be treated with love and respect.

About: I currently have a lively 6 month old golden retriever puppy. My partner and I share her over two locations and there are times when she is not here. But I am all set up for looking after dogs in my home. The times I'm available will be when Bella isn't with me, so I'll be able to give your dog my full attention. I'm a school teacher so generally not available during the week, except during holidays. But available Friday to Monday morning. I will always try to be flexible to accommodate your needs. I have a securely fenced back garden and am moments away from Alexandra Park. Will happily accommodate any crating requests or other needs for your fur baby.

About: Originally from Portugal with over 27 years caring for pets including my own (dogs, cats, fishes & hamsters) and rescuing dogs and cats and finding suitable owners. I’ve started dog walking, pet and house sitting over 10 years ago. I don’t have any pets at the moment as it would be too sad to leave them behind while I’m traveling. My aim is to make them happy but please note I can only accept the following dogs: All breeds as long as they are obedient, non-destructive, and non-aggressive and have a calm and gentle nature. I do not accept incontinent dogs, dogs that chew furniture or other household items. I do not accept dogs that are aggressive with other dogs or people. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me and I’ll be happy to help. I work remotely as an Energy Assessor so I give doggies all the attention and two walks per day. During the weekends we go on hikes. I am fully insured with Petplan Sanctuary and hold an enhanced DBS check.
