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.”

“Hilary was brilliant with our puppy - he clearly had a great time with her on the home visits. Reliable, experienced and very good at keeping in touch before, during and after the booked sessions. Thank you Hilary!”

About: Hi, I’m Molly! I live in the beautiful south coast area. I am a Religious Studies and PSHE teacher by trade, but have always adored animals, and the outdoors. I have two rescue dogs of my own who I love. I have always grown up around dogs and have lots of experience with senior dogs. I am kind, chatty and gentle with all animals. If you need assistance with your pet, or a quick drop in, a quick walk down by the beach or in the forest! I am your woman! I am starting off cheap so I can potentially build this into a long term career once I decide teaching becomes too much. I am also happy with meeting first in person, or a phone call to ensure everyone is comfortable! I travel between Bournemouth and Southampton for a day job. I am able to be flexible with drop ins and walks during weekday evenings and weekends (4pm-onwards!) Weekends are flexible. I live in a flat by the seaside, very near the by forest and beaches. My pets do not live with me at the moment, but live down the road (quite literally!) with my mum and dad.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs specifically bigger dogs but also puppies and and smaller dogs in general with very different personalities as I worked for a rescue and fostered pointers and house sat close family and friend pets on occasion I work a part time job so most of the time I’m around and only work 4 hour shifts so I can work around all of those time and dog walking can be morning or evening I will keep your dog occupied at all times aswell as taking them out for long walks playing with them and connecting with your pets

“Emilee did a fab job looking after our 2 puppies. She spent lots of time playing with them and sent us plenty of photos so we could see what they were upto.”

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.

“Many thanks for looking after Jack.”

About: We’re Marta and Jay, lifelong dog lovers and experienced pet sitters based in Bournemouth. We’ve been dog walking, house sitting and looking after other people’s pets for several years, as well as having two dogs of our own, Fred and Ulu. We’ve both grown up around dogs and are comfortable with all kinds of breeds, sizes, ages and personalities. We have experience with puppies, large dogs, older dogs, anxious dogs and reactive dogs, so we understand that every dog needs something a little different to feel safe and settled. Because we’re dog owners ourselves, we also know how important it is to genuinely trust the person looking after your dog. We treat every dog in our care as we would our own and always try to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. We both work from home and have flexible schedules, meaning we can spend plenty of time with the dogs in our care and work around feeding times, walks, medication and individual routines. We live in a house with a fully fenced garden, dogs are welcome on the furniture, and we’re happy to accommodate crates, beds or whatever your dog is used to at home. We’re also very happy to provide regular photos and updates while you’re away - we know how reassuring it is to actually see that your dog is happy and settled! If we happen to be unavailable for the dates you need, we can also recommend a dog sitter we personally know and trust, and who we’re happy to leave our own dogs with. Feel free to send us a message and tell us a little about your dog. 🐾 We are both working full time but have a pretty flexible working schedule. Please feel free to send us a message and we’re sure we can make your schedule work. We can drop in and check on your pets, play with them, and feed them or care for them when you’re away. Also, we can walk your pet and play with them to provide them with the physical and cognitive exercise. Let us know if you’d like us to train your pet too, we’d be happy to! We’re experienced with anxious and reactive pets and can help both you and your pet feel at ease.

About: We are a semi retired British couple who love animals and have been full time pet/house sitters since May 2022. We are vegetarian, non smoking, and enjoy yoga, walking and travel. Together we have run a holiday letting business in SW Wales for over 15 years as well as courses for people suffering with Chronic Fatigue/M.E and stress related conditions. All of our therapy and holiday property lettings work has moved online now so we can work remotely from anywhere. This has allowed us the freedom to be full time house/pet sitters and we are loving it! We stay at pet owners homes and very rarely leave pets alone - particularly dogs. Your home will be kept tidy and spotlessly clean at all times. We are DBS checked and insured. Numerous reviews (all 5*) available on request.

About: Originally from Portugal with over 27 years caring for pets including my own (dogs, cats, fishes & hamsters) and rescuing dogs and cats and finding suitable owners. I’ve started dog walking, pet and house sitting over 10 years ago. I don’t have any pets at the moment as it would be too sad to leave them behind while I’m traveling. My aim is to make them happy but please note I can only accept the following dogs: All breeds as long as they are obedient, non-destructive, and non-aggressive and have a calm and gentle nature. I do not accept incontinent dogs, dogs that chew furniture or other household items. I do not accept dogs that are aggressive with other dogs or people. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me and I’ll be happy to help. I work remotely as an Energy Assessor so I give doggies all the attention and two walks per day. During the weekends we go on hikes. I am fully insured with Petplan Sanctuary and hold an enhanced DBS check.

About: I provide calm, loving, and reliable care, treating every pet as if they were my own. I had the privilege of owning a beautiful Husky for three years, which gave me hands-on experience with an energetic, intelligent breed that thrives on exercise, routine, and companionship. Since then, I’ve looked after a variety of dogs through house sitting, including a Whippet, a Jack Russell, and, most recently, a wonderful Standard Poodle. I’ve also cared for a lovely cat, so I’m comfortable looking after both dogs and cats and adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I focus on providing plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and keeping to their usual routine, helping them feel safe, happy, and relaxed while you’re away. I work full-time Monday to Friday from 8am–4pm, with the flexibility to work from home on Thursdays and Fridays. This means I’m available for house sitting, drop-in visits, or daytime walks on those days. Outside of work, I’m happy to provide evening visits, overnight house sitting, and weekend care with a little advance notice. I’m reliable, caring, and will always treat your pets like they’re my own, making sure they receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. Whether you have a playful pup who loves walks or a cat who enjoys company and cuddles, I’d love to help and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in safe hands. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. As I provide care in your home, I’ll always follow your instructions to ensure your pet feels relaxed and secure in their familiar environment. I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet before any booking so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet’s routine, and make sure they’re comfortable with me. If you use a key safe or access code, I’m more than happy to use this, or you can let me know the best way to access your home. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), or simply keeping your pet company with plenty of cuddles, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry friend is happy and well looked after while you’re away.

About: We have had animals in our past homes for 20 years me and my husband been together 22 years and also handled puppies whilst one of mine was in labour so I had a lot of experience with dogs of all different breeds.Before Dog boarding I used to look after friends and family’s dogs whilst they were away and took the leap to join officially through rover. I have a papillon now called Harvey and he likes to play has lots of fun to play with other dogs big or small , dogs seem to love coming to mine has its going from home to home without the upset or pining for there owners while they are away , they have way too much fun with toys and walks around the woods that’s backed onto me. Start the day by letting the dogs out, feeding them, and having breakfast. After that, take them for a good morning walk so they can get some exercise and explore. Once you're home, spend some time playing with them, whether it's fetch, tug, training, or games in the garden. While they rest, you can do your household jobs, relax, or enjoy a hobby. Later in the day, have lunch and enjoy some quiet time together. In the afternoon, give the dogs another play session or some enrichment, such as puzzle toys or scent games, followed by a shorter walk. In the evening, feed the dogs, have your dinner, and spend time relaxing together before taking them out for one final toilet break before bed. This keeps them active, happy, and settled throughout the day. I have quite a big garden. Patio and artificial grass which is fenced off. Very Secure Garden lots of room to play around there and squeaky toys and balls and beds to sunbathe 😜

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12. I live near a forest and available daily for dog walks. I have been on rover over a year and have a good rapport with all types of dogs.

I have years of experience looking after dogs both small and large. I give good control and am very relaxed. I have a safe and secure flat l There lots of lovely walks nearby and will focus all my time on your pet. Only available for dog sitting and walks atm. My calendar says I’m not available on Thursday as that’s my office work day. Though I can change this or take the day off if notice given :)

About: I'm Naomi, your pet's new best friend, here to provide a loving and fun environment for your furry companions. I'm not only a passionate dog lover with years of experience caring for various breeds and needs, but I'm also the proud owner of a trained assistance dog. Together, we'll make sure your pet feels right at home! My home is a calm and loving space where your pet can relax and enjoy plenty of cuddles. I have experience and skills in training, socialisation, and specialised support for dogs of all ages and abilities – from lively pups to wise seniors and even those with unique needs like blindness. Your pet will be in the best of hands, as I'm well-versed in medication administration and regular grooming, and have even helped my own dog achieve the Kennel Club Good Citizen Bronze Award! I'm the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends, and I can't wait to share my love and expertise with your cherished companion. When your furry friend stays with me, they'll not only receive top-notch care but also have a blast exploring, playing, and making new memories in a nurturing environment. So, let's get to know each other and give your pet the holiday they deserve with their new best friend! Pet care fits really naturally into my life, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. I work in Fareham during the day and usually finish at 4pm, but I can pop in for visits around Fareham during my lunch break, as well as before or after work. I’m also available most evenings and weekends, and I occasionally work from home. On Fridays I finish at 12pm, so I have even more flexibility then. I’m a big fan of getting outside and especially love being at the beach, so if your dog enjoys a good walk, a bit of exploring or a trip somewhere new, even better! I’m also happy to care for dogs who are comfortable being left for a few hours while I’m at work, as long as that fits their usual routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are really important to me. I know how difficult it can be leaving your dog with someone new, so I want them to feel safe, settled and comfortable in my care. I’m a dog owner myself, so I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and little quirks. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet and follow the routines and instructions you leave for me, whether that’s feeding, walks, medication, playtime or simply giving them some company. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll always treat your home with the same respect I would my own. I’m happy to send updates and photos while you’re away, too, so you know how your pet is getting on. Most importantly, I want them to have a calm, positive experience and for you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being looked after.

“Lauran was amazing with my cat! So accommodating, she was consistent with communication and went above and beyond to make me feel secure and stress free while away! She send photos, great with updates, and even found a way to connect with my very antisocial cat! Definitely recommend, she followed all the requests and she showed she cared. Thank you Lauran xx”

About: Having grown up with dogs, cats and horses. I am a huge animal lover. I have pet sat and dog walked from a very young age. At the age of 16 I trained a disobedient male Labrador called Buddy, the family told me I changed their life. I have a way with animals, I love cuddles, walks and playing. I am always happy to assist with looking after pets other than dogs and cats too. No pet is too much for me and with me, they’ll be guaranteed to be spoiled with love. I usually work away on superyachts but I have come home to take a break and possibly find a change of career. Animals have always been the centre of my world and I am hoping this can go further. I will follow all instructions given to keep your pet as safe as possible! I am also happy for pets to stay upstairs with me if this is what they’re used too or shut downstairs if that’s your preference.

About: I am a massive dog lover and have had dogs throughout my whole life. I have experience with all size and ages of dogs including 4 month old puppies to 14 year old doggies. From miniature dachshunds to staffies to Australian Shepards and Dobermans. I am currently based in Southbourne but happy to travel in the Dorset area. Living by Southbourne beach (please ignore location on profile) I currently work from home Monday to Friday so this gives me the flexibility needed and I am happy working from your home to care for your furry children! I have lived in Bournemouth and southbourne my whole life so know the area and best dog walking spots! I like to encourage a meeting before so I can ensure you and your pets are comfortable with me and can familiarise myself with your house and rules!

“Angel looked after my dog while we were away. She sent regular pictures and updates. She was really helpful and came to visit Casper before we left to get to know what was needed. I felt really comfortable leaving Casper with her and she is very trustworthy. Thank you so much angel. I would definitely Recommend Angel to anyone !”
