Cat Sitting in Christchurch

About: I have had pets all my life. My most recent dog was a German Shepherd who we had since he was a puppy. I am familiar with administering medication. As a family we really enjoy showering love on all animals. We are a very active family always going on walks and adventures and love the companionship of a furry friend. I work from home, I very regularly give dogs a cuddle and letting them out into the garden for a toilet break. I often take them out at lunchtime for walks either at Hengistbury Head or at the beach which is on our doorstep. Once the family return from school/work they are more than enough cuddles available for pets!! My daughter is aged eight and my son is aged 11 and they are very familiar and considerate when interacting with animals. I have a good sized fenced garden. Where the dogs are perfectly safe to run around. We are experienced in crate trained dogs,and feeding range of food from Raw to kibble.

“Sammy was amazing, she booked us in at short notice as our previous sitter was unwell. She met our dog before and discussed what we needed. She also agreed to let my son’s dog out at the same time. She was very prompt and sent photos of the dogs happily playing. We would defiantly contact sammy again if we need someone.”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a cocker spaniel called Harry who is a lovely dog and is a bundle of energy! I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends, neighbours and volunteering over the years. I currently work at a school full time so my availability is mostly during weekends and evenings but during half term and summer holidays I am always available! A dogs safety is the most important thing and this is what I shall prioritise. I would love to take dogs to fulfilling yet safe environments, in which they can have a comfortable walk.

About: I have worked in rescue kennels and boarding kennels so used to a variety of different breeds. I have been a dog owner all my adult life and also been caring for family and friends dogs and have fostered rescue dogs. Dogs are my life! I work from home part-time so I am at home all day. Your dog will have playtime with my 2 Border Collies if they want to but also can have a peaceful time just snoozing with them after a good walk in the Forest or on the beach. I have a dog boarding licence and will care for your dogs to the highest standards. My home is spacious with a large secure garden and offer home from home for your dog who will live as part of the family and will be loved as much as my own dogs. I work from home part time so I am always home to look after you dog and they live as part of the family. They will come on walks with my own dogs and access to a large garden. I have a fully fenced secure garden and can provide a dog crate if required. I am fully insured and dogs live as part of the family in our home.

About: I have a genuine love for dogs and hands-on experience caring for them. I previously had two dogs of my own, and I looked after them with full responsibility and care throughout their lives. This experience taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to understand dogs’ needs and behaviors. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, and providing companionship. I also pay close attention to routines and any special care instructions. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: My passion for dogs started when I was growing up around dogs of all kinds. Over the years, caring for pets has become second nature to me. It is something I truly enjoy. Today, I provide trusted care for the pets of busy owners, making sure every dog gets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I am available most times of the day. Morning walks, lunch time walk or evening walks. I will always try work out a suitable time that fits us both. Whether it’s dog walks, cat visits, feeding, litter changes, or simple home routines, I can be flexible. House sitting is also no problem, and I’m happy to keep your pet’s schedule consistent and stress free while you’re away. I am great at walking dogs for as long as required. We will play their favourite game too. From big to small dogs I know how to handle them. If your dog is very energetic then we can even go on a jog. For cats, I keep their space clean, follow their feeding and litter routines. It is important to give them a calm and gentle environment.

About: I’m an experienced sitter with a genuine love for all animals. I got all my pets through to the tender old ages of 16 through devotion, love and responsibility.

“I was away on holiday for ten days and left my four beloved cats in Maria’s care — and I honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Maria did an absolutely amazing job. All my cats were calm, happy, and clearly well cared for when I returned. She followed every instruction with such attention and love, and even went the extra mile by watering the flowers in my front garden, which was such a thoughtful and kind gesture. Knowing Maria was looking after everything gave me real peace of mind while I was away. She’s incredibly reliable, caring, and dedicated — I wholeheartedly recommend her. Thank you so much, Maria!”

“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 believe in providing customised care that makes every pet feel safe, happy, and loved in a home environment. My approach is defined by my special skills and dedication to peace of mind for pet parents: Customised Care: I make an effort to understand a pet's unique personality and energy level to create a personalised routine that goes beyond a standard walk or feeding. Tidy Home Guarantee: I will always clean up after every visit, ensuring your home is left just as I found it. Specialised Skills: I am experienced with puppy training on basic commands and comfortable with the specific needs of senior pets, including oral medication administration and managing slower paces. Reliable Communication: I provide regular, detailed updates with photos and videos to give you complete peace of mind while you're away. I'm currently taking a break from my full-time job, which is great because it means I have a completely open and flexible schedule. Pet care is my main focus right now, so I can be available whenever you need me. This allows me to completely tailor my day around your pet, ensuring they get all my attention and their routine stays the same while you're away. I do not offer pet care in my own home. All of my services are provided in the pet owner's home, which I believe is the best environment for any animal. My priority is to ensure your pet remains comfortable and stress-free in their own familiar surroundings, with their routine completely uninterrupted. I take my responsibility to look after your home just as seriously as I do your pet. Having sat for dogs and cats all over the Dorset and Hampshire region, you can trust that I am a reliable and respectful presence in your personal space.

“Brogan was an absolutely fantastic with my dog. She was incredibly professional and I could tell she genuinely cared about Lily. Lily needed walks on three separate occasions and Brogan was wonderful with her every single time. I was relieved to see how happy and settled Lily was with her.”

About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember. While we are mostly been a cat family, we have had an array of pets, from fish to guinea pigs. I always seem to attract the cats however, nicknamed the cat queen in our house. Over the years, I have looked after many family friends dogs; Jack Russell’s, Springer Spaniels, Pomeranians, Labradors, Border Collies. I’ve always loved hiking and walking, and now get to do this as my job, but would love a furry friend to accompany me, so I can play pretend until I own one of my own! I’ve also recently done my first house sit on TrustedHousesitters for two lovely mother and daughter lab pair. It was one of my highlights so far of the year and would love to continue to help other families. I am a very tidy and clean person, and have no problem watering your plants or cleaning out a litter tray! I also have no problem with any energy level of dog, I’d walk for hours and play fetch for days… or just a quick wrap around the roads for cute oldies. I am currently an Outdoor Instructor working with the school holidays. I finish each day at 16:00, so able to drop in or walk to see your furry friends after work. I also have school holidays and weekends off, meaning I’m able to be flexible and spend lots of time playing and walking. I can also house sit during these holidays for whenever you and your loved ones are jetting off. ✈️ I love updating owners and sending lots of pictures of your friends! It is the service that I would like as I know how precious these pets are to us. I can easily follow any particular requirements or where your pet likes to sleep at night, to make sure they’re not unsettled by a new friend.
