Dog Sitting Fordingbridge

“We couldn’t be more happy with Kate as she’s been looking after our 2 boys, Stewie (2 year old rescue Dachshund) & Biggles (6 year old Jack Russell). Pro-active communication, lots of photos (which we love) & an obvious connection with the two dogs which she clearly loves (and they love her). We couldn’t recommend Kate more.”

Antony L.

“Lorrin is extremely professional and responds very quickly to messages on Rover. She was very accommodating when I had to change a time. My cat loves her and she sends amazing pics and updates to set My mind at rest. Would wholeheartedly recommend.”

“From the moment we contacted Klaudia to look after our kitten she was accommodating to our dates and times around the Christmas holidays. We had left it last minute, so it was a huge relief, especially as it's our first pet and it was a new situation for us. Klaudia kindly came to visit before the first booking to meet Earl, and I could immediately tell she was kind hearted and cared about animals. Klaudia went above and beyond for us and we will contact her every time we are away, don't hesitate to book her to look after your furry family!”

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: Hi I’m Emma and I have a passion for animals of all shapes and sizes! I have trained dogs since I was 8 years old and I have my own cavachon 🐶 I have worked in both dog and cat kennels, stables, farms and veterinary clinics as placement for my degree. I love dogs and would be so happy to look after your precious pet 🤍 As I am a veterinary student I am in and out Uni during the week for a couple hours for lectures, but some days are more free than others For house sitting just let me know your pets needs in terms of food/medication/playtime and walks and I’ll be sure to make sure your dog is safe and happy 🤍

About: Hi, I'm Jaz! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I've spent 13.5 wonderful years with my soul dog, Mika the Husky, caring for her through everything from endless energy as a pup to her final year battling cancer. I've also owned a rescue Husky called Titan and fostered an incredibly anxious 35kg Spanish Mountain Dog named Tommy for a year, giving me experience with large breeds, strong personalities, behaviour issues and high-energy dogs. I've looked after numerous dogs, cats and small holdings through house-sitting assignments across the UK and Europe as well as for family and friends. My sister owns a frenchie called Frank, and my mother-in-law has a Jack Russell called Lola, and I love to look after these two. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality and needs, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, happy and loved while you're away. I'm currently based on a private campsite in Burley, in the heart of the New Forest. The site isn't open to the public during the week, meaning it's a peaceful, quiet environment with plenty of space and beautiful walks right on our doorstep. Perfect for dogs who enjoy exploring, sniffing and spending time outdoors. Whether it's walks, playtime, medication administration, cuddles, or simply sticking to their usual routine, we'll care for your pets as if they were our own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, so I'll always keep you updated with messages and photos, giving you complete peace of mind while you're away or at work. After losing my last dog Mika in the summer of last year, I am very excited to have a furry friend around again 🫶 I'm a freelancer working from 'home', so I'm able to fit in pick ups, walks and feeds whenever works for you and your dog. The campsite I live on is closed to the public in the week, so your dog will have plenty of space to enjoy all to themselves. I am surrounded by a fence so they won't be able to escape into the New Forest national park but I can open up the gates and head for lovely long walks through the forest and to water. I also have a beach close by if they'd prefer that setting for their walks. And I have our own shaded space plus the campervan, for keeping them cool on hot days or dry on wet ones!

About: I have grown up around animals and have owned a variety. I’ve had the likes of dogs, hamsters and guinea pigs just to name a few. Most recently I have owned a pug and currently live with a golden retriever. I have a lot of knowledge about flat faced breeds and know how to best care for them. Equally I have a lot of knowledge around other breeds particularly smaller ones. I have looked after friends and my families dogs when they have gone away. I have the ability to go to their houses so that their dogs stay in their own environment that’s familiar. I have also had dogs come and stay with me too. I regularly look after my friends dog when she goes to work making sure that her dog is well looked after. I have a lot of free time at the moment being in between jobs so am very flexible with my availability. I will work around what’s best for you and your pet. I will care for your pet as if it was my own. At my house dogs are allowed on the furniture and on the beds so they can have a proper cuddle. I have three beds in the house with room for their own bed if required. I have a fully enclosed garden with a 7ft fence. I also have an open field across the road and a woodlands the other side with running water. I will make sure to feed your dog as many times as needed throughout the time they are with me. There are two fresh water bowls throughout the house and one in the back garden as well so that there is always access to water. I usually keep my back door open throughout the summer time so that Olive (my friends dog) can go in and out when she pleases, as well as her swimming pool under the shade of a giant canopy. If you would like me to sit in your own home I will treat it with the upmost respect. I like to keep things clean and tidy and will leave your home as I came into it. Leave no trace.

“My cat is very anxious so it was very reassuring to have a quiet, calm person such as Maria looking after her. This is our first time using a sitter/drop in and I'm very keen to have Maria back again later in the New Year. It was lovely to get all the feedback and photos from her too. Very reassuring when you are a long way from home. Thanks Maria.”

“Gamze was absolutely wonderful with our cats whilst we were away. She went above and beyond to make sure Molly and Harley were happy, felt safe, and cared for. As older cats they need extra attention, and Gamze met all their needs (especially poop accidents!) perfectly. Would highly recommend, and will definitely book her again.”

About: Throughout my life I have always been taking care of dogs, with always at least one dog in my house growing up. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including puppies and whelping females since I’m an assistant dog breeder. Currently I’m based in Salisbury as I’m off on my University holidays, therefore I’m very flexible to work around you. I also help to look after my pets dogs when at home.

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 are my world. I have grown up owning and caring for dogs throughout my life, mainly Golden Retrievers and Labradors, but I have also dog sat for other breeds too. I have lots of experience with puppies as well as older dogs and love caring for, grooming and walking them. I currently have availability through every day of the week and can work my schedule into dog sitting/caring for dogs. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I have plenty of time to play with your furry friends. I am more than happy to visit yourself and your dog prior to confirming bookings for reassurance on both sides. I am very safety aware and risk assess every situation when caring after animals. I ensure that the garden/outside space is securely fenced and that the home is dog proof inside. I walk dogs out on the lead unless requested otherwise and I provide dogs with the exercise needed to stimulate and engage them. I tailor it to the dog’s energy levels.

“Meg was very quick to get back to me at very short notice. Everything was arranged very smoothly. It was so nice getting reports and pictures about how Roxy was and it was very comforting knowing everything was ok. I would highly recommend Meg to all my friends and family and I will have no hesitation in contacting her any time I need some help.”
