Pet Sitting East Dorset

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was 12. Friends, family, and neighbours often rely on me to walk, feed, and look after their pets when they’re away. I’m patient, responsible, and always make sure every dog feels happy, safe, and loved. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or quiet company, I tailor care to each pup’s needs! 🐕✨ I have just finished university, and my free time mostly consist of reading, studying, hanging out with friends or a combination — often the perfect time to have a furry friend join me! My schedule is flexible, so I can offer plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, especially on weekends and afternoons. I live close to several lovely green spaces, perfect for safe and fun walks. I keep my environment calm and clean, ensuring pets feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, cuddles, or quiet rest, I’ll make sure they feel right at home and completely safe while you’re away.

About: I love all animals and love spending time with them. I have always been surrounded by animals from dogs to cats, rabbits to fish. I have a wide range of dog experience as I have owned bull dogs, boxers, bull mastiffs, Dogue de Bordeauxs and currently own Griffon Bruxellois aka Brussels Griffons aka grumpy griffons, so i am used to caring for 40kg dogs down to 3.5kg along with new born puppies. My dogs are like my children and understand what is needed to care for yours whilst you are away from yours. My home is big enough to allow plenty of space for my doggy guests and my garden is safe & fully secured fenced & third of an acre in size. There are plenty of wonderful walks near by including Moors Valley County Park. I grew up with cats and we were lucky enough to have owned British short hairs, Sphynxs and Maine coons so again I have vast experience with different cats and their different needs. Why Choose Me? * Lifelong experience with dogs and cats from new born through to senior years * Patient, reliable and trustworthy * Able to follow detailed care routines * Regular photo and video updates * Plenty of affection, playtime and enrichment * Comfortable with energetic and active breeds * Flexible and committed to providing personalised care *can offer house sitting, drop ins, dog walks or even boarding at my own home. I am completely flexible as I currently have no work commitments so can work with you to create the perfect care schedule for your four legged friend. In your home I would stick to your preferred routines so to keep your fur baby’s daily life as un disrupted as possible. Along with taking care of your home as if it was mine. For boarding at my home, I am luckily enough to say I have large house, with air conditioning, CCTV, a fully enclosed 1/3 acre garden so plenty of space to take care of your dogs whilst trying to mimic their daily life as much as possible within my home.

About: I was fortunate to grow up on a small freeholding in the countryside. My family had donkeys, sheep, chickens, dogs and cats. My special animals were Toffee the donkey, Sam the lamb and Lucy the old English sheepdog! I’m a genuine dog lover who has grown up around dogs my whole life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I’d love the opportunity to look after yours and give them plenty of attention, affection, cuddles, and care while you’re away. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting in your home and in my home as I have secure fencing. We are so lucky in this area to be surrounded by beautiful fields and walking areas, which are perfect for safe, fun, and active walks for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. Whether your dog enjoys long walks and playtime or prefers a calmer, relaxed environment with lots of company, I’m happy to adapt to their needs and routine. Having grown up with dogs, I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable, loved, and secure. I’m patient, reliable, and will always treat your pet as if they were my own. I know leaving your pet with someone else can feel daunting, so I aim to provide a warm, friendly, and trustworthy experience that gives both you and your pet peace of mind. I’m flexible with availability and can spend quality time with your pet to make sure they feel settled, cared for, and happy. I’d love to meet your furry friend and become someone you can rely on whenever you need help with pet care! I work part time as a registered nurse (adult) which gives me plenty of time to care for pets and be outside which I love. I will care for your pets to a very high standard and follow their regular routine set out by you. It will be my pleasure to help with your requirements if I can.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats, walking, bathing, brushing, drying and feeding them all, ive also had walks with 2 dogs at once with no issue. I've dealt with big old Labradors to energetic spaniels. I'm also currently doing a dog grooming and training course. I'm a student; I often have free periods, holidays, and quite a bit of free time. I have wanted to start getting out more, and dog walking is the best way for me to do that, in my mind. I'm unable to let dogs stay at my home sadly but I'm happy to stay at your home, to drop in, walk the dogs. I'll follow any instructions you guys give as you know your pets best.

“Mabel was so friendly and approachable from the get go! Her enthusiasm for cats was obvious and she made friends with our little cat Earl straight away. Mabel kept us updated with his personal care and some cute pictures! This helped us fully relax whilst we were in holiday. We would recommend her to anyone :) Thank you!”

“Klaudia was fantastic! She took great care of my two kitties while we were on holiday, sending me messages and pictures to let me know they were doing well. I felt very comfortable that they were in safe hands, and I will definitely be asking Klaudia to watch them again!”

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of a wide range of breeds, ages, and temperaments, and have been providing pet care services for over a year. My priority is always to provide attentive, individualised care tailored to each dog’s needs, routines, and personality. I am also experienced in caring for dogs with medical conditions and am comfortable following medication schedules, special routines, and detailed care instructions. I share my home with Yanka, my young Border Collie, who joined our family in May 2025. Caring for a highly intelligent and energetic breed has strengthened my understanding of canine behaviour, training, enrichment, and exercise requirements. Over the years, I have cared for multiple dogs simultaneously, including Border Collies, Dachshunds, Jack Russell Terriers, West Highland White Terriers, Cocker Spaniels, Labradors, Samoyeds, Cockapoos, Poodles, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Rottweilers, and many others. I have also looked after an Australian Terrier and her five puppies for a full week. These experiences have given me valuable skills in managing different temperaments, maintaining routines, supervising play, and ensuring each dog’s wellbeing and comfort. My home provides a safe, calm, and welcoming environment where dogs can relax, play, and enjoy regular outdoor exercise. I am committed to providing reliable, responsible, and loving care, treating every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to ensure both pets and owners feel confident, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay. DBS Checked Pet First Aid & CPR Trained I have flexible working hours and primarily work from home. Occasionally, I need to visit clients, but those appointments depend on my availability, so I can easily schedule them around pet care needs. I provide a safe, clean, and welcoming home for pets. My house has a good sized, fully fenced garden where pets can play and get fresh air in a secure space. I also have a friendly and well socialised dog who gets along well with other animals, which can be a great companion for visiting pets. Supervision and safety are always my top priorities, indoors and outdoors.

“We were super pleased with Eleanor. She was reliable, responsible and responsive to messages. We were very satisfied and plan to hire her again in the future”

“I never felt so confident leaving my house and my cat alone for a longer time. I received a lot of pictures and updates about my cat from Emily - twice a day! On average 15 pictures a day, so I was sure my cat is happy. I highly recommend Emily to anyone who loves their cats and their house. Thank you Emily!!!!”

“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 .”

David D.

“One of the most reliable persons who ever helped us with our 'kids'. It was not a simple situation this time, both, a dog and a cat, were stressed, and Rachelle helped them both to feel loved and cared for for these 3 days. I wouldn't hesitate to use Rachelle's help again. I highly recommend Rachelle as a strong and highly reliable sitter with a giant heart. Thank you Rachelle!”

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 been doing house sitting, primarily with dogs but also with cats, chickens, sheep, ponies and even a parrot on another platform for nearly 3 years and have built up a strong 5* profile there. Unfortunately I'm not allowed to show any of that here so I'm shamefully undercutting everyone else until someone let's me prove the value that many other pet owners already know :) In terms of what might set me out from all the other amazing house sitters I keep hearing about, I guess it would have to be technology so if you want a digital dog diary or a live webcam feed so you can check in, I'm your guy. I've also worked with dogs on improving their walking on lead skills, waiting for food and basic commands. I will also happily water plants, rake leaves, mow lawns or any other general upkeep you would like doing. I enjoy the company of dogs, that's why I got into this originally but I'm also trying to build up an outdoor adventure business to help get kids to go explore the outdoors so if you select me, you'll also be supporting that business and for that, I am eternally grateful! :) When I'm not doing creating outdoor adventures, I do geeky things involving a laptop so as I set my own schedule, I'll be available for all your doggies needs as and when they arise. It can be upsetting enough for dogs when their owners are away so I just try to keep things as familiar as possible with the added benefit of extra company on tap. Dogs sense temperament in people and I'm pretty chilled so they tend to feel comfortable around me quite quickly.

About: I love all animals and usually am loved by all animals :) I am friendly, resourceful, punctual, committed and easy-going. Thank you for taking time to view my profile :) I currently work one day a week, so I have plenty of time to take care and have fun with your pet, ensuring their safety and wellbeing. I live in a flat on the first floor by myself. It is a spacious two-bed, two-bath flat, where your pet would feel safe and have room to play and explore.

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.
