“Sarah helped us out last minute, came in twice a day for a week and the cats adored her! She kept us updated each morning with messages and photos which was so lovely. Will definitely be using her services again if she’s available.”


“Marcella is just the best. This was a last minute booking due to a family situation and it was so reassuring to know Tig was safe while I was away. That feeling of trust and confidence is amazing. Thank you Marcella”

“Hilary was absolutely fantastic with our dogs Rafferty and Bambi, she kept us updated through the day (which is essential for any dog mum like me?), and kept them great company with walks, playing and cuddles - what more could you want from a pet sitter?! We will definitely go to Hilary again, and would recommend to all! Thank you Hilary x”

“Massive thank you to Laura for taking care of Barley boy. She gave Barley lots of attention and left the house tidy and how we left it. She also listened to the instructions we left her as Barley has many quirks and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone. Thank you! 🥰”

“Amazing! First time Eirian looked after thomas and as soon as he met her Thomas took to her immediately (this sadly doesn’t happen every time) we came home to a calm and happy senior dog. Thank you Eirian we hope to see you again xxx”

About: I’m a big animal lover and have had pets growing up. I’m comfortable with understanding dog behaviour and I’ve volunteered for Greyhound Trust (1 year) and Dog’s Trust (1 year), and I also completed a dog behavioural course at Dog’s Trust. All three of the dogs (whippets and whippet crosses) my family have owned have been rescued and all dogs were house trained and taught tricks. I also have experience handling several different dog breeds and can provide tailored house sitting to fit your pet’s needs. I’ve just returned from 6 months of travelling and am currently looking for fulltime work so I have all the time to look after and play with your pets! I’m also available most days of the weeks so let me know when you want me to pop by! I can cater to your pet’s needs! If your pet needs long or short walks, enrichment toys, medication given at specific times (e.g tablets), or even a cuddle, just let me know your/their preferences and I’ll do what I can for your pet.

“Natasha was fantastic with my cat Olten, he can be temperamental but she was patient and he even sat on her knee. She sent me lots of updates and pictures and last minute did an extra night which was so helpful! She also left the house super clean. I would definitely book again 😊”

About: Hi, I'm Sarah, I'm looking to do some pet sitting as my dog has sadly passed away and I'm missing those furry cuddles. I have had dogs my entire life with my mum taking me to my first dog show at 6 days old. It feels very strange at home without one. I am able to look after more than one pet at a time, it doesn't have to be just dogs but they are my favourite. I have recently been looking after cats but it's not quite the same. I enjoy photography, cinema, theatre and hiking, I had recently completed the West Highland Way (walking from Glasgow to Fort William) so if you have any recommendations for any please throw them my way ! I also love a good binge watch and love the Traitors so I'm looking forward to that starting again soon. I can offer: Dog walks One or two visits a day Boarding at yours I like to take daily walks. I would like to meet the animal and owner before any bookings are confirmed I work 8-4 Monday - Friday Any questions please ask. Sarah
“Caroline looked after my elderly cat really well including managing her arthritis medication. Bella was happy with Caroline; the photos and text updates sent to me while away clearly evidenced Bella was contented. Caroline looked after our home fantastically, the place was lovely and clean when we walked back in, with spring daffodils really appreciated. I would highly recommend Caroline for your pet and house sitting and wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Thanks Caroline.”


About: Equestrian, ecologist, wildlife carer & experienced domestic pet sitter. I sit for two local tripawd dogs with very specific needs, and have experience with a range of dog breeds from sits in the UK and during my recent travels & volunteering in Australia. I have owned and looked after many cats, including kittens and elderly cats with medication requirements. I have also looked after exotic pets (bearded dragons, snakes), chickens and horses. I work two part time jobs, and generally work from home at least 2-3 days per week, am in the office for 1 day per week, and do site visits of varying length locally during the day, with capacity to usually be in more than out. This means I can provide lots of company and mental stimulation to your pets most days of the week, and at weekends. I currently work part time and spend a good proportion of my week working from home, so I am available to spend a lot of time with your pet to ensure they have the exercise and stimulation they need. I care for pets within their own homes, and I like to ensure that their routines are kept as consistent as possible. In practise this means having a really good discussion before the sit commences, including written instructions with emergency contact details.
“We were very lucky that Helen was available at short notice to stay with our mini dachsie for our overnight away. She communicated throughout and gave regular updates. Could not be happier with her service. Thank you so much, Helen!”

“Hayley looked after Milo at our house for 10 days, whilst we were on holidayand did so at short notice due to our previous sitter cancelling. Through her time looking after Milo, we received regular updates and photos, showing how Milo was getting on and enjoying his time with her. We returned to find the house as we had left it, which was welcomed after a long flight. Hayley is a fantastic sitter and I could recommend her highly enough...so much so, that I'm not sure Milo even noticed we had gone!”


“Hannah agreed to look after Milo at short notice, which was very much appreciated. Her communication throughout the booking process and his stay was fantastic. She even allowed us to be flexible with the drop-off and pick up times, which was so useful, due to changing travel plans. We would hesitate in using Hannah's sitting services again, or recommending her to others.”

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.
“We felt completely relaxed knowing our dog, Brew, was in good hands. Julie was easy to arrange with, communicated well before and during the stay, and was clearly very caring. Brew is already looking forward to having Julie come over again soon.”

“What a treasure! The perfect dogsitter, every which way. Sensible, caring, responsible and with a lovely sense of humour, I'm thrilled we've found Kirsty. Thank you SO much.”

Dan did a really good job looking after my fur babies. He made every effort to make them feel comfortable and in a routine. I got videos and pictures every day and even TP licked his head- which she never does for new people! Lovely person, would definitely use him for my next trip!
Amber was an amazing sitter for our two spaniels. They went on some lovely walks and we were updated throughout the sit. She sat at our house and you could see she showed it the most respect. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Amber enough and will most certainly use her services again in the future.

Milo stayed with Martin and his housemates, for 24hrs, at short notice. Martin was happy to squeeze in a quick meet and greet before the stay and even offered to drop Milo back to us, after his stay was finished. I received regular updates and Milo came back very happy.. Probably from all of the attention he was getting! I wouldn't hesitate in letting Martin look after Milo again and would recommend his services to anyone looking for care for their dog.

This is the second time I've used Jasmine for an extended house sit, and I couldn't be happier. Jasmine goes above and beyond, treating your pups as you would—completely spoiled! She even organised a mini birthday party for Mabel, with a banner, balloons, and doggy cake. We returned to a very happy and relaxed pup, which is always a positive sign. Jasmine also left the house spotless. Highly recommend.

Abby house and dog sat for a week and was fantastic from start to finish. Communication before, during, and after were great. We felt incredibly comfortably reassured that our house and dogs were being well looked after. We would 100% recommend Abby and Sonny to others, and gladly welcome them back again as two lovely people.
