Pet Sitting Dorchester

“Great sitter who really cares for the animals. It is reassuring when I am away that Cath is coming in to feed and see them, and gives me feedback on how they are.”

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'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’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child - they bring so much joy. My family has always owned dogs, and I have dog walked and dog sat on Rover for several years. My family got a new spaniel puppy about 6 years ago and I absolutely loved looking after and training him. I have since moved out of home and miss the company of dogs!! I work remotely and have recently moved to Dorchester so I am excited to be back dog sitting again after a short break. I work from home so I am here all day to take them out for regular walks, toilet breaks and play with them. I have a small fenced garden and a big field right next to my house. I do not drive so will need you to drop your dogs off unless you live very locally within walking distance. However I can travel for house sitting requests. I will look after your pet however best suits them - let me know if they have any particular needs! I will take them out for walks before I start work, for an hour at lunch time, and again after work.

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.

“So happy with Hanna shes amazing put both me and my dog at ease shes so friendly and my dog takes ages to get used to people but he took to you in one visit and gets so excited wjen your coming have booked more and will continue too”

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.

“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 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)

“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: 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: 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!
