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 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 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: 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 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: 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: Both my husband and I grew up caring for animals, and we lived on a small farm in Sydney, Australia, before moving to Dorset, UK. We absolutely adore animals and have not yet met an animal that we couldn't look after (except for 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: 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: I’ve looked after dogs at my own home as well as house sat whilst looking after dogs and cats. I’ve looked after Chesapeake bay retrievers, Golden Doodles, Spaniels, Retrievers, Labradors, Staffies, rescues and Cockerpoos. I’ve trained my family spaniel and have looked after puppies as well as older dogs. I have also looked after friends dogs in America whilst house sitting for a few days. I’m have experience taking 2-3 dogs out for a walk at the same time. I’m doing a PhD part time so have plenty of time to dog sit at your house, where your dog is most comfortable. I go on daily walks myself so having a furry companion would be a great addition to my current routine I like having a chat with the owner to understand their pet and learn about their needs and routine. I also like to spend some time with the pet to get to know them

“Jonathan was brilliant, communication was excellent, before, during and after the visit. It was all very last minute, but he was so accommodating doing an hour's visit with a walk included for me. Rui looked incredibly chilled (which is amazing!), happy and in his element in the photos and he was still exhausted and happy when I returned home! Amazing!”

“Angel looked after my dog while we were away. She sent regular pictures and updates. She was really helpful and came to visit Casper before we left to get to know what was needed. I felt really comfortable leaving Casper with her and she is very trustworthy. Thank you so much angel. I would definitely Recommend Angel to anyone !”

About: Originally from Portugal with over 27 years caring for pets including my own (dogs, cats, fishes & hamsters) and rescuing dogs and cats and finding suitable owners. I’ve started dog walking, pet and house sitting over 10 years ago. I don’t have any pets at the moment as it would be too sad to leave them behind while I’m traveling. My aim is to make them happy but please note I can only accept the following dogs: All breeds as long as they are obedient, non-destructive, and non-aggressive and have a calm and gentle nature. I do not accept incontinent dogs, dogs that chew furniture or other household items. I do not accept dogs that are aggressive with other dogs or people. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me and I’ll be happy to help. I work remotely as an Energy Assessor so I give doggies all the attention and two walks per day. During the weekends we go on hikes. I am fully insured with Petplan Sanctuary and hold an enhanced DBS check.

About: I have been looking after all kinds of pets my whole life, I’m very experienced with all types of dog or cat and I’m happy administering medications if needed, including injections. I work full time as a vet surgeon so my ability lands mostly on weekends and my regular day off Monday. I work full time as a small animal veterinary surgeon, for this reason I don’t have much availability during the week days but most weekends I am free for pet care and cuddles! Lots of love and cuddles! I am big on safety so once your dog has demonstrated that they have good recall, we can enjoy off lead walks in the forest. I love training and also desensitising pets to vet exams with lots of treats and positive reinforcement.
The median cost per Visit for pet sitting in Dorchester is £13
