“We are so pleased we found Alison. Thank you so much for the excellent care you gave to Roxie, our very senior labrador (15yrs!). We appreciated the lovely updates and photos you sent to us throughout the day. We didn't need to worry at all, and Roxie was clearly just as happy as we were. Helen & Steve”


“Kamila has looked after our dog Gracie numerous times now and we are happy that she is well looked after whilst in Kamila's care. Gracie is also very pleased to see Kamila when she arrives!”


“John looked after Apollo overnight. This was the first time Apollo had been left with a man and it seemed to make his behaviour quite challenging, but John dealt with him brilliantly.”


“Sophie is the most wonderful dog sitter. She looked after our elderly dog Willow for a few days while we visited our new baby granddaughter in Sweden. We felt very confident that we had left Willow in good hands and we were absolutely right. He is almost 15 and has a bit of dementia which can be challenging to cope with, but Sophie handled everything brilliantly and in a fuss-free way. We cannot recommend her highly enough.”


“Rose was absolutely amazing. She made sure we had a meet and greet prior to our booking, arrived promptly and listened to everything we had to say about Basil. On the day she paid attention to all our instructions, sent so many lovely photos and kept us updated all day. Most importantly my dog fell in love with her instantly! We came home to a very calm and tired out dog. Will definitely be booking again, thanks Rose! 😻”


“Bethany is fabulous! We had a meet and greet a couple of weeks ago and I booked her for a trip I have this weekend, however I had an unexpected trip I had to take last weekend and she was able to help at short notice. Bethany kept me informed of Reggie whenever I asked for an update and would let me know how he was doing and quick to respond. Reggie was a happy boy when I got home so I know he was well looked after and the house was left clean and tidy. Bethany is very accommodating and will do what she can to help look after your furbaby! will definitely book again, thankyou Bethany :)”


“Laura helped us out with a house sit for our springer spaniel ‘Barney’. We cannot recommend her enough. Laura made everything easy as we had not used Rover before. Barney was well looked after and we will be using Laura agin. Thanks Laura especially from Barney”


“Can’t recommend Amber enough! Such a lovely person who looked after our cats whilst we went away. She always sent us photos to help ease any anxieties. The cats loved her.”


“Jasmine was excellent with our animals and house! We could tell they had a great Time with her, and they were incredibly well looked after. Jasmine has incredible communication skills and I felt that Ham and Arty were in very safe hands. We can’t wait to have Jasmine look after them again in August!”


About: Hi! My name is Pablo. I am a nurse and I loved animals since I was a kid! I currently have two lovely sphynx cat. I love all kinds of pets from furry ones to .I have helped my aunt on her vet surgery my whole life. I would love to meet your fur babies and when they're with me I'll love them as if they're my own. I am happy to cover Eastleigh area but also places nearby. My schedule is different every week as I am nurse. But I will be happy to fit. When caring for pets, whether in my home or the pet owner’s home, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any medications they may need. I take time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs so I can provide personalized attention and affection.

“Many thanks to PJ for dog sitting our two dogs they were look after extremely well, taken for walks and received updates on how they were getting on , the dogs were happy and contented and would recommend PJ to dog sit your dog”


“Jo was amazing. We were holidaying local and needed a sitter for two days for 4 dogs with more requirements than is acceptable 😂. Jo was super calm and gentle with all the dogs, listening to and following their requirements, and they clearly all loved her! It was really lovely to know they were all being so well looked after and took a huge stress off us for those days. Reccomend Jo, and would 100% rebook if we were back in the area. Huge thanks!”


About: With over 4 years of animal and pet care experience I regularly look after a number of local dogs by feeding ,walking and caring for them in their home as such I am comfortable in assessing different dogs needs. Currently I am on a gap year before hopefully studying veterinary medicine at university. I regularly volunteer at a city farm where I care for a wide range of animals from chickens and horses to reptiles so am very experienced in animal handling . I have also completed multiple placements at working farms, yards and vet clinics so no matter what age or size your fury friend is or any special needs they may have I am confident in my ability to provide a safe and loving environment for them. I currently work part-time so only have Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays completely free during the day but am available from 6:30pm any evening. But please get in touch as I can be flexible with my shifts. I will tailor myself to fit your animals needs, as such I am happy to run around and play or snuggle on the sofa. My aim is to care for your pet just as you would, providing a safe and secure environment for them and will follow any instructions given. I am happy to provide regular updates and photos of your furry friend if wanted. Your pets health and well-being is my number one priority.

“Hilary took really great care of our dog. Sent us lots of updates with photos and videos so I wasn't worried about him. He got played with, cuddled and had lovely walkies. Really great communication, would highly recommend. We'll be hoping to have Hilary looking after our doggy again! Thanks Hilary :)”


“Amelia is an absolute star! She arranged to come over and meet Dolly before looking after her, and remained in touch throughout the stay. It really put me at ease knowing that Amelia was at home, and Dolly absolutely loved playtime with her! I would definitely recommend Amelia for your pet-sitting needs, and will use her again! :)”


About: I've had 2 cats now for the last 3-4 years and working from home have looked after them. Additionally I have looked after a small puppy when it's owners were away in the past and my parents have a dog that I have looked after/taken for walks etc. With 2 cats I have to make sure they are fed daily, along with ensuring they are well groomed, are up to date on their treatments and they litter is clean. Ensuring they have everything they need e.g. food/water/clean litter. Making sure they get play time and rubs if they want them and ensuring their eating/litter areas are clean.

“Lisa was amazing with Goose and our two cats. She was punctual, great communication and kind and caring with the animals and the house. I hope Lisa can look after the animals again. Thanks so much Lisa.”


About: Hi, I’m Danny Aller I’ve been around animals my whole life — my grandma ran a kennel business, so from a young age, I was helping care for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I’d help her groom, feed, and love on every pup that came through her doors. Over the years, I’ve had pets of my own too — dogs, cats, and even a couple of raccoons! Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle, or just keeping your pet company while you're away, I’ve got it covered with care and experience you can trust. I work full time 8am/3pm so after work I have plenty of time to care/walk dog/cats/any pet I’m honest reliable passionate for all animals alike. To make sure your pets get the best care I will provide them with my undivided attention at all times meaning any of my personal pets will stay at home. While walking I’ll make sure the safety of your pet is my first and only priority. Meaning keep other animals away making sure I’m in a close walking distance at all time. Like stated before safe/secure/comfortable is my biggest concern for the owner also the pet.

About: I have cared for many different animals growing up, from dogs, cats, and bunnies, to hamsters, rats, birds, and currently tortoises. I have also helped my Grandfather hand-rear calf's when separated from their mothers, as well as helping birth them when necessary. I have lots of knowledge about caring for many different animals, as well as being trusted to care for housemates' pets, neighbours' pets, and family pets. I adopted my very own kitten in 2018 and he is thriving, and have had 7 pet rats of my own across the course of 5 years. I am also no stranger to cleaning up after animals, as this is something I have been doing ever since owning them. Furthermore, I was an active member on BorrowMyDoggy, and walked plenty of dogs whilst being on the site. I have recently finished a college diploma in social science and I am due to begin University in September to study Forensic Psychology. Until then, I am doing my best to fill my summer with paid work that fits me and my passions. I am available 24/7, excluding the odd day for anomaly appointments and such. As summer is creeping up on us, I am sure many of you will require sitters for your pets whilst you are on your beautiful holidays, which I would be grateful to do for you. I cannot reside pets in my current home due to house sharing; however, should you choose me to care for your animals in your own homes, I will follow strict regimes if necessary (such as gates, crates, no pets on sofa's or in certain rooms). For animals such as tortoises, I understand fresh water and roughly 2 hours of heat lamp per day is needed (unless otherwise is specified).

I think he'd be great looking after other people's pets as he loves to spend time with animals, whether it's relaxing with them or playing with them, and he loves going out for walks.”

Danny A.
“I can’t recommend Danny highly enough as a dog walker. He’s responsible, punctual, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. From the moment he met my dog, it was obvious he knew how to build trust and handle dogs with both confidence and kindness. Danny goes above and beyond—making sure my dog gets not just exercise, but also attention, affection, and mental stimulation on every walk. He’s also great at communicating and always lets me know how the walk went. It gives me total peace of mind knowing my dog is in such capable hands. Any pup would be lucky to have Danny as their walker!”


Kirsty L.
“Mel L Kirsty is a very responsible young lady who is calm around animals. She grew up in a household with a variety of different animals including rats 🐀 birds, chickens 🐓 dogs and cats. Nothing really fazes her and I would definitely recommend her to look after your pets. She likes spiders and snakes also. She has good time management skills and is reliable. Your fur babies would be in good hands with Kirsty looking after them.”
