About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and we now have an almost 2 year old Labrador called Wilbur. We are based on the Dorset and Hampshire border, with a large garden which backs in to woodland and a lovely lake. We are also not too far away from gorgeous beaches too. Our family consists of myself and my husband and our two young teenage boys - we love dogs, and make time to play with them each day - offering enrichment activities, fun games, paddling in our little doggy pool (when it’s warm) and also essential, comfy down time. I work from home and very part time so I am around every day. I take my dog out for walks early morning and evening, but I’m flexible and able to fit around your pets routine. I have a fenced, closed in garden and one very friendly young golden Labrador. I have the space to crate if needed and lots of cozy spaces in the house.

About: Hi, I'm Andy, I'm a reliable, caring animal lover based in the New Forest. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog, because I consider my dog a part of the family. My goal is to make sure every dog in my care feels safe, happy, and well looked after while you're away. I've spent years around dogs and have had my beagle Lando for 5 years. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog loves long forest walks, playing, or simply curling up for a cuddle (on the furniture), I'm happy to tailor my care to suit them. I'm dependable, calm, and very atuned to a dogs needs. I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is having a great time. What you can expect from me: * Friendly and dependable care * Plenty of exercise and attention * Regular photo and video updates * Care tailored to your dog's routine * A safe, and loving environment I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! I'm available at weekends for day care and overnight boarding at our home in the New Forest. No availability during the week as I work full time. I have a large walled garden that's completely secure, dogs are welcome to come in and out as they please. I'm very relaxed so dogs are welcome on furniture and I have space for their crate / bed if that's how they prefer to sleep. I have a crate in the car that I can use to transport your dog for longer walks or you can supply your own. I have children so your dog must be trustworthy and used to being around them. I also have a lovely beagle called Lando who is great around other dogs and a fantastic companion.

“Can't fault Ben, Frodo was a very happy dog when I picked him up. Ben sent me pictures of him having fun whilst I was away, replied promptly to messages, thoroughly recommend.”

“Charlotte looked after our 2 small dogs for 10 days and the dogs loved their stay. The dogs were well looked after and were spoilt by Charlotte and her family with lots of cuddles and walks. Charlotte sent photos every day and the dogs had a large safe garden to play in. We will certainly be booking again with Charlotte and would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and safe holiday home for their pet.”

About: My beloved dog, Crumble, joined tennis ball heaven last year and ever since then, there has been a huge paw shaped hole in our hearts. Life means it’s tricky to have our own fur baby again for a few years and instead, we’ve enjoyed the company of others. We have had dogs for over 20 years and are very comfortable with excitable young puppies as much as caring for senior dogs with medication needs etc. I am a secondary school teacher, teaching locally in a comprehensive for over 20 years being Head of Subject and Head of Year. Tristan also works as a specialist technician at school. We would love to use our weekends and school holidays between now and Christmas this year for furry companionship. In addition to teaching in school, I also privately tutor and work from home two to three days a week and therefore also have the ability to do some term time day based care and support until Christmas 2026. Thereafter, I am solely working from home on a part time basis, and won’t be in school and so will have full availability to be able to have dog company all day, every day. We promise to offer love, care and undivided attention for your pooch! We currently work part time and full time in a local school. This means that in school holiday time we have no work and can just give full attention to your dog’s needs. The same applies for weekends throughout the school year and any week day care we have capacity for up until Christmas this year. Then from January l will solely working from home on a part time basis as I will just have my private tutoring business and therefore have full capacity for every option for dog care all day, every day . If we have a dog with us it will never be left unsupervised and will always have at least one of our full attention I am just completing my Professional Dog Walkers and Sitters qualification with the British College of Canine Studies. I have also purchased independent insurance for your peace of mind. We have the luxury of going between two accommodations in the area. Our home has a fenced garden with lovely walks around the Mudeford quay and Mudeford woods patch. We also have a sizeable static caravan at Hoburne which dogs love coming to stay with us at. Here, we have the joys of being right on our private cliff top and the beach and sea in front, alongside the easy option of getting in to the forest for walks. It’s doggy heaven! We don’t have any pets of our own presently and instead are enjoying the company and companionship of others

“Bruno made himself at home as soon as he arrived and we were immediately reassured he was in the best hands. Rachael updated us everyday with pictures. Bruno didn’t want to come home and seemed very sad to leave! Will be booking Rachael again for sure 😊”

“I can’t recommend Sam highly enough! He took amazing care of my Golden Retriever, Rio, and went above and beyond to ensure she felt at home. From regular updates to extra attention and care, Sam made sure Rio was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. She came back to me relaxed and content, which speaks volumes about the quality of care Sam provided. I’m grateful for the extra touches, like providing her food when I’d forgotten to send her supplies. I’ll definitely be using Sam’s services again in the future. Five stars all around—thank you, Sam!”

I would definitely recommend Sophie.”

I would like to say thank again …. a forever friend Nancy and Gemma xxxx”

About: Hi I'm Zara! I’m a Personal Trainer and love going for walks at the beach most days. I adore dogs and love to say hello to all the fury friends I meet on my walks. I’ve grown up with dogs all my life from a sheep dog/collie and a Staffie. I love all bully breeds! I would love to have some 4 legged company for my walks, cuddles and maybe treat them to a pup cup! (If they are allowed one) Dogs bring me so much joy and it would be amazing to be part of a dogs day out! I have been a dog sitter for a few friends while they have been away on holiday, and whilst working on a farm in Australia we had working dogs to too after Im currently self employed and work my own hours. Im a PT in a gym and also an online coach so some work is in the gym and some at home. My hours & days are pretty flexible I’m always out for walks most days to keep active I live in a flat, no balcony so dog walking preferably only available service. A small dog would be fine to stay for 1 day or 1 night if needed over if non crated and is happy roaming around on their own. Is house trained also

“This being our first time using Rover we were very pleased with the service. From the outset communication with Mark was easy. Responding quickly to queries. As soon as Bondi arrived at their home she was welcomed by two and four legged new friends. I was reassured during the sit. Would definately recommend. Thank you.”

“Amy took great care of Ernie whilst we went away, she sent us regular updates and he seemed to enjoy his variety of walks and having the companionship of Poppy. We would definitely book Amy again to look after Ernie.”

“Angela and her family looked after my dog Captain for the weekend and did an amazing job. He seemed to settle with them well and enjoyed his time with the family.
