I am currently working part time and can be flexible to offer drop ins at any time that's best for your pet and walks of various lengths.

About: Hi everyone! I’m Anya and I absolutely love animals. I have experience as a Military Working Dog handler which means I’ve worked with lots of different breeds, temperaments and needs. I’m also about to start a part-time role as an Animal Care Assistant with the RSPCA which will give me even more hands on experience. I adore spending time with animals whether it’s walks, playtime or cuddles and I always make sure every pet feels safe, happy and loved. I treat them like my own and love getting to know all their little quirks and personalities. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I love staying active and spending time outdoors. Walks and playtime slot in easily around my schedule and I always make sure to plan my day so pets get the attention, exercise and companionship they need. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a long walk or an overnight stay, I’m flexible and happy to build my routine around keeping pets happy and cared for. I make pets feel safe and comfortable by following their usual routines and paying close attention to their needs. In a pet owner’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and secure. I provide a calm, pet friendly environment with plenty of enrichment and supervision. My priority is always their safety, wellbeing and making sure owners feel reassured while they’re away.
About: I have years of experience working with dogs in every shape and size. Alongside having dogs of my own, I have fostered many dogs which has given me extensive experience in working with both nervous and senior dogs. I understand every dog is different and some require a different approach to others but I’m confident in my ability to care for any dog. My extensive experience includes providing personalised dog walking services, offering in-home pet sitting, administering medications and addressing special dietary requirements. I’m currently a uni student so have a flexible schedule for waking and caring for your pet. During summer and Christmas holidays I have broader availability to cater to your needs and am happy to work whenever I have a free hour. I’m educated in pet requirements and needs and know how to create a save environment for your pet. I’m happy to fulfil any requests made during your service and can send you photo updates during the day.
About: I have previously done alot of volunteering with animals including conservation and my job allows me to look after your pet both healthy and when they are sick. I believe that our pets are the best companion you can have and they are my happy place. I will be doing this in my spare time when I am having a break from my nursing diploma. I will be doing this in my spare time so mainly on the weekends. Additionally, I also have time on Wednesday afternoon/evening to walk dogs. A pets home is there own personal space and they must trust me before I can develop a good relationship with them. I am patient and kind.
About: I’ve looked after all shapes and sizes, ages and breeds of dogs and cats, down to rabbits and fish as well! I love to help out any animal in need. I put the animal first. I have my own company so I can work around the pet as long as I can connect to internet. So flexible with movements during the day I have a fenced garden, 2 bedroom end of terrace house in a quiet cul-de-sac. We back onto the heath so walks are great. The pets have free roam of the house. Equally I am flexible to stay in other peoples houses and take care of the any pets. Or drop in and offer walks only. No pet care is too much for me!
About: Dogs always have this zest for life that is almost unmatched, radiating joy and love wherever they step. At the moment I cannot have pets were I live but have this over flowing cup of love and care to show to pets. I don’t have any training experience at this time but if your dog is well behaved and just needs some extra love and care while you are away I might be a good match for you. I can’t promise your dog won’t put on a few pounds because tasty doggy treats will always be on the menu in my company, with your consent of course 😉! I currently work as a support worker for young people and study psychology with counselling at University. My schedule does fluctuate and can be busy however I often go on walks along the beach and various other places to switch off so we can discuss a time that works for both of us and alternatively if any home care services are needed. Of course your pets safety is at the front of my mind at all times! I’m happy to do a pre visit or a phone call with you to discuss any boundaries, what services you are looking for and any concerns you may have
About: Dogs have always been part of my life. A home isn’t a home without a dog. I provide a home from home for your dogs. I”m a cut flower grower, so I’m outside most of the time and work from home, so ideal for dogs that like to help in the garden! We have 8 acres that we can walk through including a wooded area, various fields to play in plus a dog safe acre fenced garden and a natural swimming pool that is also dog safe, the dogs love the natural pool as there is a shallow area which they love to wallow in.
About: I believe every pet has their own personality — I adapt walks, playtime, and routines to match their comfort and energy level. Calm, confident handling: Whether it’s a shy rescue, a high-energy pup, or a senior with limitations, I know how to keep pets feeling safe and understood. Safety first: I’m attentive on walks, trained in pet first-aid basics, and mindful of potential hazards and triggers. Genuine connection: I treat every pet like they’re my own — building trust through patience, consistency, and plenty I currently working part time, and most of my spare time I spend with my little pomeranian, who is the friendliest dog ever, and definitely would benefit from contact with an another charming four-legged friend. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space free of hazards, toxic plants, and unsafe items. Pets have access to cozy rest areas, fresh water, enrichment toys, and safe outdoor time (if requested).

“Tom is trustworthy and reliable, following our instructions to care for our spaniel, Hank, well. As a young dog he can be a handful but Tom gave us an update and looked after him well despite this. Thank you!”

“Emilee walked my dog Pepper. We met up prior to the walk, communication was great, I could see when Pepper was picked up and dropped back home. Emilee also shared a few photos. Would definitely use again :)”

About: I believe in providing customised care that makes every pet feel safe, happy, and loved in a home environment. My approach is defined by my special skills and dedication to peace of mind for pet parents: Customised Care: I make an effort to understand a pet's unique personality and energy level to create a personalised routine that goes beyond a standard walk or feeding. Tidy Home Guarantee: I will always clean up after every visit, ensuring your home is left just as I found it. Specialised Skills: I am experienced with puppy training on basic commands and comfortable with the specific needs of senior pets, including oral medication administration and managing slower paces. Reliable Communication: I provide regular, detailed updates with photos and videos to give you complete peace of mind while you're away. I'm currently taking a break from my full-time job, which is great because it means I have a completely open and flexible schedule. Pet care is my main focus right now, so I can be available whenever you need me. This allows me to completely tailor my day around your pet, ensuring they get all my attention and their routine stays the same while you're away. I do not offer pet care in my own home. All of my services are provided in the pet owner's home, which I believe is the best environment for any animal. My priority is to ensure your pet remains comfortable and stress-free in their own familiar surroundings, with their routine completely uninterrupted. I take my responsibility to look after your home just as seriously as I do your pet. Having sat for dogs and cats all over the Dorset and Hampshire region, you can trust that I am a reliable and respectful presence in your personal space.

Having a multitude of pets myself, from small furries, to scaly pets and even ones with more than 4 legs, I’m experienced and happy to help with not only dogs and cats, but any other companions you may have. I understand the worries that come with finding pet care, and I’m here to hopefully ease some of those for you! I currently work full time on weekdays and have weekends off, but am available on lunch breaks and have my sister around to help when needed! We are both fully insured for pet transportation, dog walking, and pet sitting so happy to help with all of the above! I will follow any routine the owners currently have in place in their home, and will treat it as I would hope for my own home to be treated! I am happy to keep the home clean and tidy, take out bins, to get in any essentials you would like for your return.
“Esther looked after my lab for the first day prior to sitting him for a week. He immediately took to her and was very content being left for the day with her. I left instructions about his commands and routines which she implemented very thoroughly. It was great to see her taking him for several walks in the day and and being proactive playing games with him in the garden. I have no hesitation in using her to regularly pet sit him in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and other pets since I was little; I have a huge place in my heart for all kinds of animals and have pet sat for family and friends whenever needed :) I’m currently working a part time job, I am available Monday - Thursday throughout the day and may be free some weekends and am happy to pet sit any breed of dog. I walk my dogs twice a day, they’re two lovely and friendly dogs; I make sure to have put harness’s on correct so they will not come undone and also choose a walk route fit to the weather e.g. in hot weather i avoid tarmac paths due to burning on their paws and will most likely not take them out in torrential downpours.
