“Hannah took such great care of our pups and our home while we were away for a week. She is very personable, easy to communicate with and insightful when it came to learning our pets’ needs. We really appreciated how she got to know each of our dogs and catered to them individually. She provided great updates when we checked in with her throughout the week! Our dogs loved her from the moment they met her! It was so great to have peace of mind while we were away. 10/10 would book with Hannah again!!”

“Booked Kerith short notice to dog sit Luna for a night and she was very understanding. Kerith showed a lot of love and attention to Lunas needs when she arrived and focused on all of Lunas needs that needed to be cared for. Would definitely book again in the future :)”

“Imogen came to spend some time with Cliff and Pepper before we book a longer sit. As Pepper and Cliff don't have an easy relationship it's really important that whoever looks after them is on the ball for any issues that may arise. Imogen was really calm with the dogs and let them approach her. By the end of the session both dogs were able to relax and sleep in her presence. I'm confident that they'll be very happy to be looked after by Imogen!”

“Naomi is the first person we trusted to watch our puppy Kenji and I am so glad. Firstly, she was on-time . so that I could get to work on time as well. She is very knowledgable about dogs which feels reassuring. , So when we described all of Kenji's quirks and problem areas, she was calm and understanding about it. I got a few updates through the day with photos. Kenji seemed more happy than ever when we came home. Thank you Naomi!”

About: Both me and my partner were managers at the Pets Corners in New Milton and in Ringwood who provide classroom training on all aspects of owning a pet. I have owned 2 cats and currently have a family border collie who is 7 years old. We are both very good at basic training and are athletic people. My partner and I work remote jobs so will be at home during the week and weekends to care for your pets around the clock. We will be able to Feed, play, walk, brush, toilet and help with basic training (if required). Loads of local fields, rivers and the beach is just a 10 minutes walk away.

About: I have taken care of friends and family pets since I can remember and now with my qualification can pet sit pets with medical requirements!

About: I have a 13 year old family dog (spaniel) who I regularly take care of, full time and just for walks. He’s my world and more. My partner and I also used to live on a farm where we had to look after cats ducks and chickens daily. Myself and my fiance Jack live in walkford, just 15 minutes walk from highcliffe beach. I work from home most of the week with one day in office, but with the option to stay home. I walk to the beach or nearby areas once or twice a day. On weekends my partner and I love to be active around nature, plenty of beach/forest walks as we are in the middle of both. As I work from home I can be there all day long to provide them company and attention. My routine won’t change as I always go out for walks anyway, it would just be lovely to have a companion. When I look after my family dog, I usually stay over at my parents to care for him while he’s away and take him out morning and noon between working hours, and make sure he’s comfy in the room with me while I work. I live with my partner who is a thatcher by trade but would happily help with care when he’s at home and on weekends. He loves animals as much as I do.

“Ingrid came to look after Finn our dog and Seb our cat for the day. Before the planned date, Ingrid came to meet us both with Finn and Seb. Straight away I felt confident with Ingrid coming to our home and looking after our pets. On the day, Ingrid arrived on time and shortly after arriving Ingrid was out in the garden playing ball with Finn. During the course of the day, Ingrid sent updates with photos and videos letting us know how the day was going! When we arrived home both pets were happy and contented and everything was great. I wouldn’t hesitate to book ingrid again to look after Finn and Seb!”

About: I’ve had experience fostering assistance dogs to help socialise them and acclimatise them into everyday surroundings. I also have a gorgeous dog myself so have a lot of experience caring for furry friends! As stated I have a diploma in dog/animal handling and pet sitting through new skills academy. I’m currently working as a freelance for an events company and part time in a local bakery so would love to fit this into my busy schedule too! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. With a diploma in dog handling and experience fostering future assistance dogs, I know how to care for animals with patience, structure, and lots of love. I always follow the owner’s routine closely, keep pets in secure environments, and use positive reinforcement to build trust.

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.
