Pet Sitting Dorchester

“We went away for a 7 day holiday after just moving house with builders in as well ! So the house and the cats were very unsettled! But Cath was brilliant with Socks and Coco. She sent us pictures and videos to reassure us that they were doing ok . She also let us know how our builders were getting on which was brilliant too. She obviously has a real way with animals as our two were very happy to get lots of strokes and she made sure they ate well. Nothing was too much for Cath to do even emptying the cat tray daily !. We would highly recommend Cath to look after your animals for you, we will definitely be using her for all our Cat sitting jobs :)”

“Kieron is friendly and efficient. He has several dogs himself and seems knowledgeable. He and his girlfriend visited my young dog Ivor and they all had a good time playing with toys in the garden and it kept my dog company. They followed instructions and Ivor seemed to have enjoyed himself with them.”

About: I was brought up in a home that helped look after rescues dogs, we have always had our own dogs, labs specifically but we have also taken in stray cats and got them healthy again. I absolutely adore animals (probably more so than humans!) I am currently on a hiatus from my usual work and want to try this opportunity not only to provide excellent service but to also bond with pets and it's a great way for a mental health break. I am not doing this for the money but I truly believe in the mental benefit of working with animals. I am hardworking, laid back but fair person, I recently was diagnosed with autism and looking after your furry pets it's a keen interest of mine, I believe that all animals can be bonded with and I strive to achieve that bond with all animals I am lucky enough to meet. No task is a bother to me and I am one for a strict and regimented routine however I can easily adapt to whatever your pets needs are. I am planning to work part-time but I can work longer hours if needed, I just need a bit of pre warning. I am currently not working apart from volunteering at a few farm sites on Wednesdays. I am a trustworthy person, I am currently living in temporary accommodation which unfortunately means I cannot house animals, however I have no problem with caring while in a pet owners home. I am a very tidy, clean and active person, my sole dedication would be to your animals, making sure they get the love they need as well as keeping your home tidy, safe and clean

About: My family have had dogs since I was born, parents, grandparents, siblings all had them and now I have my own, Rosie the lurcher, so any dog staying will need to be ok with a house mate. I’ve been walking dogs of all sizes for as long as I can remember. From fiesty Jack Russell’s to a bull terrier cross with a greyhound, also known as a baby rhino with his size and strength. Being a family of dog lovers we’ve had them at all stages of a dogs life so understand the needs. I’ve also got a level 2 open college qualification in animal care just that little bit extra to help I work full time but have certain days off a week. It will always be Tuesday I have off, other days vary depending on the week. So will have to change availability depending on work schedule. I have a closed off back garden and plenty of sofa space! The dog/dogs would have to get on with Rosie, but she’s been fine with every dog she’s met in her own home. Fresh water, food if needed and plenty of blankets! There is a big field near by also if needing a walk on or off lead.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for dogs, cats, chickens, fish, and hamsters. I’m reliable, love animals, and will make sure your pets are well cared for and exercised I’m flexible and able to fit pet care around my daily routine. I’m happy to spend quality time with your pets, including feeding, playing, walks, and giving them attention and company. I will always make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in your home. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and will follow any routines or instructions carefully.

“Amelia was extremely flexible and when I messed up the dates was available last minute to help out! Kept me up to date and Jessie seemed very happy when I got home :) would definitely recommend! Thankyou again Amelia :)”

About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life, including growing up with my own dog where I helped with daily care, walks, and basic training. More recently, I regularly look after and walk my nan’s dog, making sure she’s exercised and well cared for. I’ve also helped neighbours, friends, and family with dog sitting, walking, and general care, so I’m comfortable with different breeds and personalities. Whether it’s a relaxed walk or a more active one, I’m happy to adapt to what each dog needs. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and always make sure dogs feel safe, happy, and properly looked after. I work full-time in the fire service, so I’m reliable and used to responsibility, but I still have good availability for dog walking and pet care. I’m available most evenings during the week and more flexible on weekends. I’m happy to offer walks, drop-in visits, and boarding depending on availability. I provide a safe, calm, and caring environment for every dog in my care. I live in a first-floor flat, and any dogs staying with me will never be left alone, with full-time supervision and regular toilet breaks, attention, and a comfortable space to relax. Dogs in my care will get at least two walks a day, usually around an hour, with everything tailored to suit them. Whether they’re young or older, prefer shorter or longer walks, enjoy the beach or quieter routes, or need to be on or off the lead, I always adapt to their needs and your instructions. I’m happy to provide GPS tracking of walks where possible, along with regular photo updates, so you can see exactly where your dog has been and have full peace of mind while they’re with me.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs - we’ve had a Dalmatian/ husky / Labrador mix as well as a corgi and then a German shepherd rescue dog who was a very nervous and shy dog. I am proud foster mum to a stubborn sausage dog (who will be able to stay at his owners when I look after other dogs) and have experience looking after energetic spaniels, barky french bulldogs as well as kind and calm rescue dogs from Macao and Romania. I work from home and my job is very flexible so I can give your dog my full attention either at my home or in the home they are used to. I love spending time with furry friends - cuddles, playtime, long or short walks, I’m super easy, caring and attentive. I work from home, my job is very flexible and I can flex my work diary around commitments so can take time off and have plenty of time for walks, play time or wee breaks. I live in a two bed flat with a balcony and an enclosed garden area. I am near lots of fields and places to walk and let dogs run around

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12. I live near a forest and available daily for dog walks. I have been on rover over a year and have a good rapport with all types of dogs. Have good reviews, I’m very chilled and relaxed and will look after your dog with the upmost respect and follow instructions. I work from home and have lots of free time to sit and walk. I have years of experience looking after dogs both small and large. I give good control and am very relaxed. I have a safe and secure flat l There lots of lovely walks nearby and will focus all my time on your pet. Only available for dog sitting and walks atm. My calendar says I’m not available on Thursday as that’s my office work day. Though I can change this or take the day off if notice given :)

About: I have always grown up around dogs, having mostly had golden retrievers and a very big Estrella Mountain dog when I was alot younger! have recently just left my role working as a client care assistant at the Medivet 24hr Vet Hospital in Dorchester, where I acquired alot of knowledge relating to pets and their wellbeing - knowing what to look out for emergencies etc. I have also volunteered at the Margaret Green Rescue centre. I just love dogs of all shapes and sizes! I have currently left my role at a vet practice to care for my Grandad. I am really going to miss being surrounded by 4 legged friends so am pretty flexible over the next few months. Another passion of mine is travel so I do have a few trips but open to discussing availability Having 2 goldens, I know how much our fur babies love the attention! If you’re worried about leaving them then do not fear, I am on hand for lots of cuddles and love. Having lived in Dorset my whole life, I know the best spots of beautiful walks (also remote places away from others if reactive)

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.

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: 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.

About: Hello! My name is Maddie. I am 19 and have 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 have another dog who is a staffy / bulldog, and 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. Currently I am studying a uni course at Weymouth college, whilst working. However, 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’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child. Our family have always owned dogs, and I have also dog walked for many neighbors. My family got a new puppy about 5 years ago and I have loved looking and training after him. I have since moved out and miss the company of dogs!!! I work from home so I am here all day to take them out for regular walks, toilet breaks and play with them. I do not have a garden but there is a park a 1 minute walk away from my flat. The only day I am in the office is Wednesdays so please bear that in mind. I do not drive so will need you to drop your dogs off unless you live very locally. I will look after your pet however best suits them - let me know if they have any particular needs! I will take them out before I start work, mid morning around 11, for an hour at lunch time, and again after work.

About: Having grown up with dogs, cats and horses. I am a huge animal lover. I have pet sat and dog walked from a very young age. At the age of 16 I trained a disobedient male Labrador called Buddy, the family told me I changed their life. I have a way with animals, I love cuddles, walks and playing. I am always happy to assist with looking after pets other than dogs and cats too. No pet is too much for me and with me, they’ll be guaranteed to be spoiled with love. I usually work away on superyachts but I have come home to take a break and possibly find a change of career. Animals have always been the centre of my world and I am hoping this can go further. I will follow all instructions given to keep your pet as safe as possible! I am also happy for pets to stay upstairs with me if this is what they’re used too or shut downstairs if that’s your preference.
