Pet Sitting in Christchurch

About: I was caring over animals and pets since was a child. With 5 siblings we always had many pets at home. From guinea pigs to cats and dogs. Now I’m proud owner of dog Rocky, little morkie (half yorkie, half maltese) Not working at the moment, happy to look after your pets. My dog is friendly and trained. He’s happy to share my laps :) love long walks at the beach or forest. Always plenty time to play and take your dog for long walks. Safe environment with little garden. Living next to a park and massive fields.

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 a loving English Bull Terrier who was truly part of the family. He set the bar for how fun, gentle and full of personality dogs can be -also helping with family friends conquering their fears of dogs and we still laugh about his antics today. In recent years l've looked after friends' and family's dogs while they've been away, making sure they're fed, walked, played with and properly cared for. I absolutely love going on long walks, so having a four-legged pal to join me is always a joy. I'm a naturally caring person and I'll make sure your dog feels safe, happy and like they're having their own little holiday too. Im in full time employment split up over the week however, my hours are very flexible during varying Monday - Friday just get in touch and we can find a time that works perfectly. I'm really careful and attentive when it comes to pets. I always want them to feel safe, comfortable, and settled. I follow whatever routine you already have in place, keep an eye on things, and make sure the environment is calm and secure - doors checked, no hazards around and plenty of time spent making sure they're happy - treating them with the same care and patience I'd give my own.

About: Hey, Im Issy, a Christchurch local. I’ve grown up alongside many pets… cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and dogs! Being around animals has always felt natural to me. I feel at ease whether it’s a tiny kitten, a big bouncy dog, or anything in between. A few years ago, we introduced Suki, a rescue Sharpei/Staffie into the family (lives with my mum). She’s a strong, energetic girl who requires longer walks and a solid routine. Clear communication is really important to me. I’ll always respect your instructions on training or routines, and I love keeping owners updated with photos and little check-ins. I’m familiar with secure walking spots around Christchurch, Bournemouth and the New Forest. Now that I’m living by the beach, I spend more time outdoors and I’d love to share that with your pet. I have quite a flexible work set up. I work from home most days. I can work from cafes, community spaces or anywhere with steady secure internet! I do occasionally have to move about for work but am usually not out longer than few hrs. If I were caring for pets in your home, i would like to understand all of your pets needs aswell as house instructions/ safety requirements. Your pet will be treated as if it were my own, I’d do my best to keep to its routine to avoid any upset and provide a calm environment with lots of attention and cuddles!

About: I have looked after dogs and cats around the world for many different companies and families. From pit bulls to Shit-Zou’s I have a wealth of knowledge in caring for animals of all ages and temperaments. Currently working from home so I’d happy to help walk, sit or check in anytime. I can go for walks on my lunch break (very flexible), before, and after work. We have a fenced off garden so happy to let dogs use the bathroom out there in between walks. Please provide food, bedding and leads/collars for their stay.

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.

“Fantastic! Karen was super-helpful, responsive on the booking platform, exceedingly flexible and great with our dog. Highly recommended.”

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: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I've had dogs all my life and truly understand how important it is to find someone you trust to look after your furry family member. I currently live with my friendly and sociable German Pointer, Obi, who absolutely loves the company of other dogs. Together, we enjoy regular long walks (or short, depending on need) and plenty of playtime. We're lucky to live in a beautiful part of Bournemouth, surrounded by dog-friendly parks, coastal paths, and woodland trails—perfect for keeping dogs happy, active, and well-stimulated. Whether your dog enjoys long adventurous walks or just cuddles and companionship at home, I can cater to their needs and routines. I provide a safe, loving, and calm environment where your dog will feel right at home. You can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pup is in caring, experienced hands. We’re looking forward to meeting your 4 legged friend! I work from home for my main job so am always around. When I am available caring for your pet will be my priority and you have every assurance they will be safe, happy and well looked after. I have a large fenced garden that is secure. No escapees on my watch! When your dog stays with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family. Dogs have full access to my home and are welcome on the sofa (unless you prefer otherwise!). I stick closely to your dog’s usual routine to ensure they feel secure and settled. Walks are a big part of our day – I live in a beautiful part of Bournemouth with access to parks, woodlands, and coastal paths/beaches, so there’s no shortage of exciting places to explore. My own dog, Obi (a friendly German Pointer), is great with other dogs and loves the company. I’m happy to cater to any special needs – whether it’s administering medication, feeding a special diet, or giving extra cuddles to nervous pups.

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: 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.

“Really impressed with Isabelle, looked after our two cats for a week, very professional!”
