House Sitting Fordingbridge

“Hannah stayed in our home for two weeks to look after our German Shepherd, and she was outstanding. Calm, knowledgeable, and genuinely great with dogs. Our dog took to her immediately. She treated our home with real respect, kept everything tidy, and left the place immaculate. We also had a few unexpected household issues during the stay, and she handled everything sensibly and without fuss. I would trust her again in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation.”

“Kirsty was lovely and great at reassuring my dog Humphrey who gets quite anxious when I leave him. I felt completely confident leaving Humphrey and my house in Kirsty’s hands. She will be my first port of call for future house sitting needs when I travel.”

About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs from a young age. I’ve had experience with both Chihuahuas and Boxers, and I currently have a Boxer of my own. I’m calm, confident and patient around dogs and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs. I’m happy caring for dogs of different ages, sizes and temperaments and will always make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well looked after. Hi, I’m Caitlin! 🐾 I absolutely love animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m friendly, calm, reliable and flexible, and I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets. I’m happy to help with dog walks, drop-in visits and house sitting, whether your pet needs a fun walk, feeding, company, medication or simply someone to check they’re okay. I always aim to follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how they’re getting on. ❤️ I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe and cared for in their owner’s home. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime and any other care they need. I’m patient and calm around animals and give them plenty of attention and reassurance, while also respecting their space if they need some quiet time. I’m happy to keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pets are happy and settled.

“We cannot thank Karen enough! Karen has a natural affinity towards animals and Juno and Chesca took to her from the start. We felt totally comfortable going away as we knew our dogs were safe with her. Karen shared updates with us and videos and photos of them on their walks so we knew they were being well looked after. Chesca is terrified of fireworks and unfortunately it was one of those weekends! Karen spent extra time comforting Chesca and making her feel safe. She is an absolute gem. Thank you so much Karen. xx”

“Couldn't have asked for a better sitter! Christine looked after our young GSD/Pointer mix who even the vet once described as 'quite a lot' while we were on holiday. He had a holiday of his own with lots of trips to the beach, and seemed really relaxed. We'll be booking again!”

About: I have always had a deep love for animals and despite not having many pets growing up, I have taken care of them for many friends and family over the years. I currently work on weekdays from 10-6 with possible availability before or after work for check ins, feeding or dog walking. I am also happy to book in on weekends (from friday evening to sunday) for longer pet care options. Any other availability I have will be updated along the way 😊 I am very adaptable in a pet owners home, able to respect current routines and rules with their pets whilst keeping them safe, fed and entertained. I’ll always prioritise keeping both you and you furry friend happy and reassured with frequent updates 🫶🏼

About: I have looked after my friend's dogs for 10 years, dog walking and pet sitting and staying in their homes. I have 4 cats of my own, and love spending time with animals. I look after them as if they're my own and just enjoy their company. I love being active and going for walks or just staying in and having cuddles. I currently work at a pub so I am free during the day until 6pm and free on weekends after 6pm. I am able to be flexible with my schedule with enough notice as well. I will work around your needs and your pets needs, I am happy to provide cuddles or space and everything in-between. I offer a loving and easy going care, I am happy to do general house keeping watering plants etc I take pride in my job so I am happy to help.

“Mabel was great our boys were very happy and she gave us multiple updates with pictures of our fur babies. Will definitely be using Mabel again”

About: I love animals, and have a particular passion for dogs! I have grown up with pets and we always had dogs, and when I left home I have always had one of my own. I am now in a position to do something I love and look after your fur babies. I am council licensed, fully insured, DBS checked and canine first aid qualified, to give you total confidence and peace of mind. 🐾 I don’t work secularly now, so I’m always around at home and have the flexibility to give your fur baby all the love and attention they need. I treat them as my own so you can enjoy your getaway with full peace of mind they are being well looked after and cared for. As I’m at home most of the time I have plenty of time to care and play with your pet. My husband also works from home so they will get lots of attention from us. We have a fully enclosed and secure garden for your dog to run around, and direct access to walks into the forest and wetlands from the end of our road for them to enjoy, so they don’t even have to get into the car. We have our own little dog (chihuahua) Isla who loves to have friends over to play with. We always ask that you come for a ‘meet and greet’ before your pet is due to stay, to make sure they are happy and we are the right fit for them, to give you confidence they will be happy when you leave them in our care.

“We cannot thank Judson enough for how well he looked after our pets. We came home to a tidy house full of happy animals! He kept us updated with lovely photos.”

“We couldn’t recommend Cassidy enough, she was very accommodating from our first communication through to the day of the dog sit. She asked for information in advance of the sit so she knew the various traits of the dogs and could work around them. She took them on a walk and kept us updated with lots of pictures. We hope Cassidy is able to care for our dogs again in the future. Thanks so much :)”

About: I am a lifelong cat owner and have several years of experience caring for dogs, providing everything from walks, feeding and playtime to companionship and maintaining their usual routines. I’m confident caring for pets of different breeds, sizes, ages and personalities, and I always take the time to understand each animal’s individual needs, preferences and temperament. I also have experience caring for puppies and kittens, as well as older pets who may require a calmer approach, additional patience or more support with their daily routine. For dog walks, I’m happy to explore familiar routes in your local area and, for sociable dogs who enjoy the company of others, I can also visit secure dog parks with your permission. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and nervous, independent, or happiest curled up beside someone, I will always adapt my approach to help them feel safe, relaxed and comfortable in my care. Communication is really important to me, so I will keep you updated with regular photos and messages throughout the booking, giving you reassurance that your pet is happy and well cared for. If I ever have any concerns, I will contact you straight away, and in an emergency where I am unable to reach you, I would seek advice or treatment from your nominated vet. For additional peace of mind, I am fully insured independently for my pet-sitting services, alongside the protection provided through Rover. I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. My aim is to provide dependable, attentive and genuinely caring support, allowing you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is receiving the same level of care and affection I would want for my own. 🐾 I work from home as an Adjudicator, which gives me flexibility throughout the day to provide reliable pet care. During the week I am available for morning, lunchtime and evening drop-in visits and walks. I have greater flexibility at weekends and can often provide care throughout the day. I understand the importance of routine and will always do my best to fit around your pet’s schedule. When caring for pets in their own home, I will always follow your instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medications and any specific requirements. I take care to ensure doors, gates and windows are secure and will treat your home with the same respect I would my own. I am happy to provide regular photo and message updates, so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away.

“Sophie is making amazing progress with our nervous girl with every visit. I really appreciated the photo and update so I could see for myself. Lina is definitely gaining a new friend in Sophie!”

“I love it when Kate comes to look after me. Mummy and Daddy say that I’m the most special border terrier in the whole world, and they are really picky about who cares for me. They call me their baby! Kate takes me on walks across the fields to the beach and the forest. I am a very social creature so I love it when she takes me around the village and lets me sniff everything and find out what’s going on in the doggie world. Kate makes up really fun games for us to play, especially when it is really hot and I can’t be out for too long. Keeps me from getting bored, as I am a very clever boy! She takes photos of all the fun things we do and sends them to Mummy and Daddy. I love her so much that I smile for the camera. Yes, really! Just take a look at her photos. You know what? Kate cleans up the house before she leaves, even places where I haven’t shed my fur, and that’s a lot of places because I am allowed on the furniture. I told you Mummy and Daddy spoil me. The only thing they don’t do is give me enough treats. I keep telling Kate that it’s okay to give me more and Mummy and Daddy won’t know, but she must be scared of them because she doesn’t. Kate has looked after me twice and I am so excited because she is coming back two more times. I wag myself in half when I see her and can’t wait for all the cuddles and the fun we are going to have.”

“Karen was wonderful! She stayed for 5 nights with our elderly dog and young cat. She updated us regularly and was very responsible and took great care of the girls. I would use Jaren again in a heartbeat!”

“Sharon was wonderful. We came home to a very settled pack of animals and a spotless house. Great communication and we felt that we trusted her with them instantly.”

Tamasin C.

“Lisa-Ann took wonderful care of our Red Labrador, Rex, taking the time to get to know him and us beforehand. Our doggie enjoyed wonderful walks and fun whilst we were away for the week and was very relaxed in her company. Her experience and love of dogs is excellent, alongside her communication to us throughout. Highly recommend Lisa-Ann, who gave over and above. We hope another opportunity arises in the future for Rex to hang out with Lisa-Ann and her family again, thank you!”

Melissa B.

“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”

Helen J.

“Katherine was brilliant! Great communication, sent updates whilst we were away and the house was spotless! She was great with the dogs, we have quite a nervous one and she built a great repor with her. It was so nice to go away and know my dogs were in safe competent hands and not have to worry! Would highly reccomend”
