Pet Sitting in East Dorset

“I requested the visit very short notice and Annabel was brilliant. From the moment she arrived, she spent time keeping my dog happy and active while I was away. What really impressed me was her attention to detail. Not only did she keep his routine intact, she even washed up his food bowl afterward, such a thoughtful touch. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive dog sitter. My pup was clearly in great hands!”

About: As a devoted dog lover and proud owner of two adorable Shih Tzus, I bring care and experience to every walk. I specialize in small and medium-sized breeds, offering a patient, calm, friendly approach tailored to their needs. Whether it’s a playful stroll or a gentle walk for older dogs, your dog will be treated like one of my own, with love, patience and affection. They will have wagging tails and a spring in their step. This isn’t just a job for me, it’s something I really enjoy. Pet care is a regular and rewarding part of my weekday routine. I’m available Monday through Friday and plan my days around giving pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether it’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening check-ins, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and their well-being is always my top priority. I stick closely to the pet’s feeding, walking, and sleeping schedule and ensure their environment is safe. I read their body language and ensure they feel relaxed and confident. I also ensure they are mentally and physically stimulated. I have a current DBS and have done a pet 1st aid course.

“Really friendly, great knowledge and clearly cares so much about animals.”

“We had a lovely face to face introduction meeting prior to Julia actually doing the home visit that we had booked. Julia is clearly a dog lover. Our two dogs liked her immediately, as did we. The drop in went very well. We had total peace of mind that we could rely on Julia and we were able to enjoy our time away from home without worrying about the dogs. I can absolutely 100% recommend Julia and we will definitely ask her to dog sit for us again in the future. Thank you Julia!”

About: I've had the joy of caring for all kinds of animals over the years—dogs, cats, rats, hamsters, tortoises, fish, snakes, and more. My love for animals goes back as far as I can remember, and being around them truly brings me endless happiness. There's nothing I enjoy more than making sure they're safe, happy, and loved 💛 I work full-time during the week, but I finish early on Fridays and am available to care for your fur babies from 2 PM onwards. On weekends, I'm available from 12 PM onwards on both Saturday and Sunday. I’m attentive to every detail pet owners share—I know how important that is. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I expect for my own fur babies. You can count on regular photo updates, because peace of mind matters.

About: I've grown up with animals, and take their wellbeing incredibly seriously. I adored my two childhood cats, and I helped raise a Finnish Lapphund with my friends throughout lockdown. Now I own two cats with my American fiancee, one of which is a kitten! Being an actor, my schedule is very much fluctuating. It means I have A LOT of downtime, so I'm generally pretty flexible to accommodate your needs. I will happily travel to your home and take into consideration any specifics your fur baby has. One of my older cats has a strict feeding and medication regime, so I'm very used to juggling pet-specific needs and catering to them, however you see fit.

About: I've looked after and loved dogs and indeed all animals since I was a 10 year boy in North London. I now live in a large bungalow in Dorset England. I have a large very secure garden and access to lovely countryside walks round the New Forest. I would love to share my environment with some furry friends and look forward to meeting your animals I recently retired after 24 years as a driving instructor. I love walking the new forest trails and I also have a very large secure garden to play ball games in. I'll have plenty of time to play with and care for you pets.and I will look forward to meeting them I have a large secure garden. I have my own dog that loves to play ball with other dogs, but I can easily keep them apart if needed. I live on top of the New Forest trails so lovely walk are on offer at least twice daily

About: I’ve cared for pets my entire life—starting with two cats as a child, and later two more as an adult. I’ve owned a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, a Basset Hound, and three Hungarian Vizslas. I’ve also looked after friends’ French Bulldogs and Cockapoos, so I’m experienced with both large and small breeds. Having used Rover myself as a pet owner, I understand the needs of the owner and what is required of me as a walker and pet sitter. I can walk your dog with mine, or on their own, it is entirely down to your pets needs. I drive a Defender so im happy (if you are) to put your dog in the car that has a safety grate in the boot to keep dogs safe. Equally if you or your pet are not comfortable in a car, I can walk them locally. I am totally flexible to your dogs needs. As a trader, I have the flexibility to work anytime and from anywhere with an internet connection. This allows me to offer highly flexible scheduling and be readily available for your pet’s needs. In my home, pets enjoy a safe and secure environment with a fully fenced garden for play and outdoor time. I have a friendly Hungarian Vizsla who loves the company of other dogs, and I make sure each pet feels comfortable, loved, and part of the family. Whether in my home or yours, I maintain a calm, clean space and follow each pet’s routine closely—including walks, meals, and any special care instructions.

“Kyra cared for our cat, Luna, whilst we’ve been away for a few weeks. It was great to get updates with photos whilst we were away and pleased to see Kyra spent some quality time with Luna, not just popping in and performing basic tasks!”

About: I've looked after dogs from Yorkshire Terriers to German Shepherds and a whole mixture of cats for many years. These have been from puppies/kittens to the more seniors. Friends and family have entrusted me with their pets and they are always treated as part of the family. I am retired following 18 years in the NHS and now enjoy walking in the countryside or on the beach, theatre, sport and music. I am at home for the majority of the day as I only have pet commitments, which is why I am able to offer this service. I currently have a 7 year old Yorkshire Terrier, a 3 year old cross Shih-tzu/Yorkshire Terrier and a 14 year old rescue cat. I have the forest right on my doorstep and enjoy walking with them there. I'm also a very short drive from the beach which is another favourite. If your dog enjoys playing ball or carrying sticks, then rest assured, their needs will be catered for. Whatever your requirements are for your pet/s, I will gladly accommodate them and even go the extra mile! I'm also willing to change litter trays, water plants and put the bins out.

“Was confident with Rhea from the minute I met her she was quiet but confident and I knew we'd found our cat sitter straight away. Our extremely nervous cat who hides from every new comer to the home even made an appearance, high praise indeed .I can't recommend Rhea highly enough. Thank you for job well done .”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs since I was five, and my love for animals has only grown stronger over the years. From caring for my own pets to helping out friends with theirs, and working hands-on every day on a farm, animal care has become second nature to me. Most importantly, I treat every animal with the same unconditional love and respect I give my own Over the summer I will be available 7 days a week to take care of your fluffy friends; the only time I will be unavailable is every Monday 9:30am-12:30pm. With years of experience walking both my own dogs and those of friends, I’ve learned how to handle dogs with a wide range of needs, from anxiety to reactivity. My background working with children has also taught me the importance of patience, reliability, and trust qualities I bring to every pet I care for.

“We’re so happy with how well our cat Nova was looked after by Imogen! The regular updates each day really eased our anxiety about leaving her while we were away. Nova is now more playful than ever—I’ll definitely need to step up my playtime game!”

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: I’ve had dogs my whole life- I currently have a lurcher who can be extremely naughty and a poodle cross so I’m very experienced with any type of dogs. I also currently work at a cattery so I have plenty of experience caring for all animals! I also own rabbits and a horse so very animal orientated This summer I am graduating from univeristy as a student nurse and will be taking the summer off. I have to walk my own dog and take care of my horse and rabbits so I will be very free to look after and help where I can. Animals have always been a massive part of my life and I think they are one of the family so should be treated that way. I just want them to feel as settled as they can be with me so I am very happy to follow instructions however you want your animals looked after.

About: I am confident with all breeds, sizes, ages and temperaments. I have owned pets all my life and will always put your pets needs first no matter what. I have a genuine passion for animals and am excited to pursue this as I find it extremely fulfilling. I currently work part time at a kennel and have a very flexible schedule. I spend my free time at the moment mainly lounging around and going on walks with my dog. When looking after a pet in mine or someone else’s home I ensure all their needs are met and that they are as healthy and happy as possible. I do my best to give pets a varied and fulfilling environment by adding enrichments or playing with them. The dogs I work with currently and my personal dog both require good supervision so my supervision skills are very good. I have a high priority for safety, making sure to evaluate and address any hazards.

“Tabea was wonderful with our cat, she is punctual, friendly and we felt assured that whilst we were away that our cat would be well cared for. We would highly recommend Tabea to look after your pet. Thank you Tabea John & Kathy”
