Pet Sitting in Christchurch

“Niki was absolutely amazing with my pets, definitely highly recommended her to look after your pets, never been happier to leave my animals in someone else’s care but I felt so secure with her being there and loved the updates and photos of my dog”

“Thank you. Rachel has been excellent, has made friends with my two (usually rather shy) cats, and has sent me lots of photos and up dates. I wouldn't hesitate to call Rachel again.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and what sets me apart from others is the the deep bond I form with every dog as I treat each pup like family. I ensure not only safety and routine but the attention and affection they truly deserve. From playful puppies to senior dogs, I’ve experienced every stage of a dogs life firsthand. I have a sausage dog myself who is 15 months so have experienced the training stage recently. I’ve experienced a variety of breeds and temperaments including reactive or shy dogs who need to build trust and comfort. Although I work shifts, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer a variety of days for dog care, including weekdays and weekends. I have my availability in advance so I can commit fully to yours and your dogs needs ensuring plenty of attention, exercise and affection during our time. Your dog will feel at home with me as I have a safe environment with plenty of space to play including a fully fenced garden for secure outdoor time. I have a friendly, well socialised dog dachshund of my own who loves new playmates. I keep a consistent routine, provide lots of attention and tailor care to each dogs needs whether that’s active playtime, calm relaxation or a mix of both.

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.

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 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. Growing up in a home full of animals, I naturally became the go-to pet sitter for family and friends which instantly became my favourite hobby, I’ve cared for a variety of pets and always treated each one like my own. I believe every pet deserves quality time, attention, and tailored care. Whether it’s daily walks, play sessions, or just providing a calm and comforting presence, If you’re looking for someone reliable, loving, and passionate about all animals I’d love to help care for your furry family members. I’m currently studying in my final year of university and available 7 days a week for pet care which I will fit around my studies I’m completely flexible to your needs for your pet whether a walk or garden play is preferred. I have my own car for travel. Unfortunately I cannot accept pets into my own and am only available for home visits/walking.

“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!”

About: Hi, I’m Graham and thank you for visiting my profile. I have had a pet dog for 14 years, from puppy to senior, and still miss him terribly. I also sit for my family dogs (sister, son and daughters, one of which is a professional dog trainer and works full time with dogs- see photos). I also say hello (with owner permission, of course) to most dogs I meet - not all, as some are just busy sniffing and don’t want to be disturbed. We can arrange a dog & human (that’s you!) meet to check we are all comfortable with the set up. I have a dog friendly ground floor flat with garden. We are all lucky where we live, so long walks can be the beach, forest and open spaces all around. I’m a runner, hiker and walker with a passion for the outdoors. I’m currently semi retired so have good availability. I’m a believer in finding what stimulates and is good for any dog; from games, relaxation, play, belly rubs etc. Like people, dogs are all different. I have a dog friendly ground floor flat with garden. The garden is privately fenced and the beach and Hengistbury Head is a short walk away.

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.

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: As a current veterinary student, caring for animals isn’t just my passion — it’s my future career. I’ve gained hands-on experience working with a wide range of animals, from playful puppies and senior dogs to cats, small mammals, and even farm animals during my vet placements. I understand how to read animal body language, handle pets gently and confidently, and provide calm, attentive care. Whether your pet needs a relaxing walk, some energetic playtime, or simply company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I’m also happy to follow specific routines, administer basic medication, and keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you have peace of mind. I’ve also luckily had the experience of owning a dog since I was 4 years old and thoroughly enjoyed going out on walks, bathing and caring for her. I’m a veterinary student currently back home for the summer, and I’m excited to spend my break doing what I love most — caring for animals! With a flexible summer schedule and a strong background in animal handling and care, I’m available for regular walks, drop-in visits, or longer pet-sitting stays. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I treat every animal with the same patience, kindness, and attention I give during my vet training. Whether your pet needs company, exercise, or special care, I’m here to help make their summer safe, happy, and stress-free. I have a fully fenced garden with a locked gate in a quiet cul de sac with a large quiet meadow adjacent to allow for some fresh air

About: I love dogs. I had dogs in the past and now have a big softie Golden retriever who I am sure would be the best company for yours. I am on maternity leave, so your dogs will be cared for all day. Our Golden Retriever prefers playing with other dogs to playing retrieving so he is gonna keep yours company. The house has large fenced garden with plenty of toys and tennis ball and a super friendly Goldie to keep your fur babies safe and entertained. I walk our Goldie twice a day off leash so they can have a good time together, sure tired them out enough for good sleeps afterwards.

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: 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.
