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.

About: My husband and I have Pepe, we regularly dog sit for our friends when they go on holiday. However I will be caring for your pets alone and won’t have any assistance. I have a car, know lots of good beaches, woods, fields. I’m a staff nurse, meaning 3 days on, 4 days off a week. Plenty of time for walkies. I have a car, and know plenty of walking spots. I know the area well, I already do welfare visits for my friends’ dogs, plus dog sitting and walking. Let me know if you have any questions:)

“Summer was great, Harvey took to her immediately and had a great time. Thank you 😀”

About: I grew up with dogs in the family home, so I’m very familiar with the day-to-day responsibilities that come with pet care—regular walks, feeding, giving medication when needed, and most importantly, making sure pups feel loved, safe, and comfortable. More recently, I’ve been volunteering as a dog walker, which has given me valuable experience with a wide range of breeds and personalities. It’s been a great way to build my confidence and deepen my understanding of dogs’ different needs. I’m free all day, every day—weekdays and weekends. I’ve also been wanting to get out for more walks, so dog walking would work perfectly for me. I’m committed to following your instructions carefully to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well-cared for while I’m in your home. You can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

About: Hi, I'm Katya, I am a mum of two teenage boys, ages 17 and 14. We do not have a pet of our own however we look after our friends and families dogs regularly and love having them around. So much so, we look after my mother in laws 12 year old dog regularly throughout the year, she stays with us anything from a long weekend to 1-2 weeks at a time. It really is home from home, we love having her and she loves staying with us. She is a rescue dog, so initially she was very anxious and wary around other dogs, however with lots of love and care, she has become a more confident and happier dog. We are still always careful with her and her proximity to larger dogs or situations she won't feel comfortable. I also walk my sisters 2 whippets, who are 7 years and 5 years old, both very different in personality and both a joy. Although both are very calm natured, the youngest can tease and the older one is more anxious. I am very happy to keep you updated with plenty of photos so that you can see your dog enjoying their time whilst in my care. I am fully available, so we can have short or longer walks on the beach or park, whichever is best suited and once we are back home, we have a fully fenced garden for regular outside and toilet breaks. We are a relaxed and calm household. We will give your dog lots of care, love and attention and happy to adapt to any specific needs. We have a fully secure back garden with grass and a patio area so lots of space for a burst of play and sniffing about. On a good weather day I will leave our patio doors open so your dog can freely go from outside to inside as they wish. We have a kitchen/diner so there is enough space to leave a day bed and lots of room to move around inside. We have tiles in the kitchen and wood flooring throughout the downstairs area. We also have a stair gate at the bottom of the stairs to keep your dog safe and secure downstairs.

“First outing for our dogs with Naomi - they walked off without looking back ! Had a lovely beach walk and Naomi sent photos, route map and walk distance. Very happy owners and dogs.”

About: Hi, I’m Katharine:) I am a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, from playful kittens to loyal dogs and even horses.

About: I’ve never not lived with a dog and absolutely love their company. I’ve had lots of different kinds of dogs in my life - dachshunds, border collies, all types of terriers - so am very used to lots of different personalities! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule so available weekdays and weekends to look after dogs, at any time of day that suits. I pride myself on safety when it comes to looking after dogs and will always ensure an open space is enclosed/an environment is safe when a dog is around!

About: People say they're dog lovers, but I truly am 🐶 I prefer them to humans! We've had multiple dogs in the family since I was young, and I've always been somewhat of a dog whisperer! 'Walkies' has always been the best part of the day, and with a fun but disciplined approach, me and your dog are bound to get on, whether they're a great dane or a little chihuahua :) I work remotely from home with flexible hours, and to be honest I spend most of the day doing anything to avoid screens! I do live with my girlfriend who works remotely also, but I would be the one doing all the looking after. It would be great to have a dog or two to keep me busy - I miss my dogs back home and have far too much free time that could be filled with walks and play time! We have a detached house with a fenced garden so they are free to roam. Depending on your preference, your dog is more than welcome to snuggle on sofas, and can be walked on or off leash in the local parks!

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 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.
