About: I'm a Zoology graduate with hands-on animal care experience from a nine-month internship at SEA LIFE Weymouth. During my placement, I helped with daily feeding, animal husbandry, welfare checks and monitoring animal health and behaviour, while following care procedures. I also have experience caring for my own dog, Ralph (1.5 years old), and my previous dog Buddy, and understand the importance of patience, consistency and getting to know each pet's individual needs. I'm happy to follow your pet's usual routine, whether that's going for walks, feeding, playtime or keeping them company at home. I'm reliable, caring and happy to keep you updated with photos and messages while you're away. I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and reassured. I'm currently flexible with my schedule and can arrange pet care around my weekly commitments. I'm happy to discuss your pet's usual routine in advance and plan visits, walks or house sitting to suit their needs. If I'm caring for your pet overnight, I'll make sure we agree on timings for walks, feeding, toilet breaks and companionship. I'll keep you updated if my availability changes. Your pet's safety and comfort are really important to me. I have hands-on animal care experience from my Zoology degree and my nine-month aquarist internship at SEA LIFE Weymouth, where I followed care procedures and monitored animal health and behaviour. When caring for pets in their own home, I'll follow your instructions, respect your home and keep to your pet's familiar routine. I'll also make sure doors, gates and leads are secure, and contact you if I have any concerns.

About: I have grown up with dogs, cats, horses and small animals. I often look after my mums staffy and my children are well trained around animals. Friends and colleagues have also trusted me to look after their furry friends! We have a lovely home and a loving heart and are willing and open to lend a hand to those who need it. I work part time from home for Children’s Services so am around for all your dogs needs. Lots of time for us to play and for walks. We live in a lovely area with a good sized garden. We enjoy long walks and the beach so will keep your pup fully entertained and loved. Our evenings are usually quieter so lots of times for cuddles. I have a good sized fenced garden to keep your dog safe. We do have a cat but she often spends time outdoors and does not seem interested in other animals. We are able to offer long walks and I do have a bath which I can offer washes if needs be.

About: A lifelong dog lover and owner, I offer reliable, attentive dog walking services tailored to your pet's unique pace and personality. My hands-on experience ranges from raising a litter of 12 Dalmatians and caring for my own Pug, to working alongside my father's German Shepherd search dogs and walking everything from energetic spaniels to scent hounds. Now retired, I have complete daytime flexibility to accommodate your schedule, whether you need regular outings or occasional visits. For your peace of mind, I am fully covered by third-party insurance, ensuring your dog is in safe, experienced, and dedicated hands. I work part-time in vehicle transport, which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit around your dog’s routine. Whether you have an energetic dog needing a brisk workout, an older pup who prefers a gentle stroll, or a companion who loves a running buddy—I'm a runner and happy to pick up the pace—I can tailor each walk to suit their needs. While I don't offer boarding in my own home, my services include regular walks as well as pop-in visits to check on your dog, feed them, or let them out into the garden.

About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and a wide variety of animals, I bring a lifelong dedication to animal welfare and wellbeing. I spent 10 years living and working on a farm with boarding kennels, where I was deeply involved in the daily care, feeding, exercise, and monitoring of animals in both home and professional settings. My passion for animals has been a constant throughout my life, reflected not only in my work but also in always having my own cats and dogs. I am confident, compassionate, and attentive to the individual needs of each animal, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am around all day, which allows me to make sure pets always have access to fresh food and water. I regularly provide walks, playtime, and attention to keep them active and happy, while also monitoring their overall wellbeing. If medication is needed, I can administer it on schedule, and I am comfortable maintaining any training routines to encourage good behavior and consistency. Overall, I make pet care a priority by ensuring pets are safe, comfortable, exercised, and well cared for throughout the day. I provide a safe, trustworthy, and caring environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure while in my care. I have a good-sized fenced garden for outdoor time and exercise, with woods just behind my home as well as plenty of nearby fields and coastal walks that are perfect for dogs who enjoy exploring and staying active. I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident leaving their pets with someone reliable, and I always aim to give pets the same attention and care they would receive at home. I am also happy to come to your home if preferred, helping pets stay relaxed in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine.

About: Please check prices “services” before booking!! I’ve looked after pets pretty much my whole life, but have been properly pet sitting for a few years now! I’m on borrow my doggy and walk/ look after a couple of dogs from there! I am very flexible and happy to look after pets anytime of the day/ week. I have a routine of working part time and studying, although I am looking to quit my job and become self employed looking after pets. I live in a flat, so I usually go out for long periods of time if I’m looking after a dog. I make sure the pets are comfortable in my home, or if I’m in your home then I find this very easy to adjust to Pet care will fit nicely into my routine as This is my full time job at the moment so I have a lot of time and flexibility. I do not have the availability for pet sitting in my own home. However I am very understanding and happy to fit to your schedule in order for your fur babies to be as comfortable and happy as possible!

About: Both my husband and I grew up caring for animals, and we lived on a small farm in Sydney, Australia, and are about to move to Inverness, Scottland. We absolutely adore animals and have not yet met an animal we couldn't look after (except snakes, because my husband's terrified lol). My husband works remotely so he will be able to take care of your pets and is able to rework his day to best suit your pets schedules. Pets have always been a critical part of our lives and we understand it is critical to ensure they have the best care while you are away. My husband and are from Australia and don't yet have a home of our own. We always take the most care of an owners home while they enjoy their holiday and understand that, as well as pet care, house care is an important part of our role. We regularly clean and maintain the house and make sure your home is cared for and clean and ready for when you come back.

About: Hello! My name is Maddie. I am an 21 year old who has a genuine love for animals. I grew up surrounded by various animals, such as dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, guinea pigs and fish. I have grown up and trained my pup, who is a collie / springer and now I have another dog who is a staffy / bulldog. I have always had an open heart to every animal. No job is too big or too small. I am always motivated for a challenge. I have taken care of my dogs since a young age. Taking them on walks, playing games of ball, feeding them well and of course never forgetting lots of cuddles. I would like to start dog sitting to get more experience with animals, to have a good opportunity to go into the army as a dog handler. I will make time for your pets, just like mine. If they are shy / nervous / excited / outgoing , they will all be treated with the same patience and love. I am currently at uni two days a week and working 35 hours a week 3/4 days, however I’m still left with around 2/3 days and 2 evenings free to spend with puppers. I have a fenced off, big garden and two dogs that love to play and would get on well with your dog. I can easily make room for crates if needed and live next to a beautiful field and cliffs which are great for walks!

About: I provide calm, loving, and reliable care, treating every pet as if they were my own. I had the privilege of owning a beautiful Husky for three years, which gave me hands-on experience with an energetic, intelligent breed that thrives on exercise, routine, and companionship. Since then, I’ve looked after a variety of dogs through house sitting, including a Whippet, a Jack Russell, and, most recently, a wonderful Standard Poodle. I’ve also cared for a lovely cat, so I’m comfortable looking after both dogs and cats and adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I focus on providing plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and keeping to their usual routine, helping them feel safe, happy, and relaxed while you’re away. I work full-time Monday to Friday from 8am–4pm, with the flexibility to work from home on Thursdays and Fridays. This means I’m available for house sitting, drop-in visits, or daytime walks on those days. Outside of work, I’m happy to provide evening visits, overnight house sitting, and weekend care with a little advance notice. I’m reliable, caring, and will always treat your pets like they’re my own, making sure they receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. Whether you have a playful pup who loves walks or a cat who enjoys company and cuddles, I’d love to help and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in safe hands. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. As I provide care in your home, I’ll always follow your instructions to ensure your pet feels relaxed and secure in their familiar environment. I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet before any booking so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet’s routine, and make sure they’re comfortable with me. If you use a key safe or access code, I’m more than happy to use this, or you can let me know the best way to access your home. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), or simply keeping your pet company with plenty of cuddles, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry friend is happy and well looked after while you’re away.
