Pet Sitting Lee-on-the-Solent

About: I’m a nurse working bank shifts alongside my passion for animal care. I’ve owned reactive dogs for many years, so I understand the importance of calm handling, patience, routine and being constantly aware of surroundings while out walking. Early 5am quiet walks, off-the-beaten-track trails and avoiding stressful situations for dogs are something I’m very used to. We are a family home with children, so any dogs staying with us would need to be comfortable around children and a normal family environment. I offer gentle, reliable pet care with daily beach walks, peaceful hikes and a focus on making every dog feel safe, relaxed and happy. No other animals in the home. We only have one boarding dog at a time unless dogs come from the same house hols. I will be sole care for the dog during its stay. 5:00am – Quiet early morning walk 6:00am – Breakfast and calm rest time 8:00am – Garden play, enrichment or sniff games 10:00am – Beach walk or quiet countryside hike 12:00pm – Rest and nap time in the home 2:00pm – Toilet break and gentle play 4:00pm – Short afternoon walk or enrichment activities 6:00pm – Dinner time 7:00pm – Family time, cuddles and settling for the evening 9:00pm – Final toilet break and bedtime Our home has a fully enclosed garden and is just a 5 minute walk from the beach, perfect for calm daily walks and outdoor time. We are a relaxed family home with children, so dogs staying with us would need to be comfortable in a family environment. Your dog would not be left alone for long periods and would be treated as part of the family, with plenty of company, care, exercise and quiet time to settle and relax.

“Keighley was lovely She popped into meet the cats before our holiday and you can tell she is a cat lover! Very good photos were sent so we could see the cats were OK. We will definitely use Keighley again”

“Frances was amazing with Jasper. She helped me out in a last-minute bind when I needed care. Communicated during each drop-in and shared photos. Would definitely recommend her. <3”

About: I have had animals my whole life. I’ve pet sat for friends and family many times. All shapes and sizes from Rottweiler to sausage dogs. I have always been a caring loving person with my previous jobs being in childcare. I’ve looked after kittens from birth and supported my cat throughout end of life care. I’ve looked after a cat with diabetes that need daily insulin injected. I have been working at Chester’s dog walking company but have some free slots each week. I love walking dogs from all different background. I enjoy the pets visits providing stimulating play. I’m a mum of three Sen beautiful children and I fit my dog walking and pet sitting around them. My husband is flexible when I’m needed to do extra. I love my days with my dog and others at the beach park or woods. I also work at Chester’s dog walking with I love so much but I have few daily slots so can fill. I have a warm loving home with two cats my puppy and three rescued guinea pigs. I have a small but secure garden with lots of access to parks

“Kirsty is absolutely amazing with my nervous dog, and very respectful and considerate. I messaged Kirsty first to explain about my dog to see if she is comfortable watching her, and she came for a couple of meet and greets to ensure that my dog is comfortable and happy before Kirsty watched her whilst I was out for the day. She was very attentive to everything I asked of her, and ensured to take notes to make sure that nothing got missed. I loved the photo updates Kirsty sent to me throughout the day and I am so pleased at how quickly my dog became comfortable around her, especially as she does usually take quite a bit of time to warm up to strangers. I am looking forward to asking Kirsty to watch my dog again so I can enjoy a stress free day out, knowing that my dog is in very safe hands!”

“Sally has excellent communication, she is very calm and kind which is what our dogs need. Sally came to meet the dogs before hand as one of our dogs can be difficult. They had a wonderful time with her and didn't even bother getting up to greet us. We have already booked other dates.”

“Great with Nelson, nice clear feedback afterwards”

“Charlotte came to look after our 3 playful kitties and they clearly loved their time with her! She fed and played with them and kept us updated with lots of pictures of our furr babies. She did a introductory visit to meet the cats and find out where all their stuff was in the house too. Very professional and friendly throughout our experience with her. Thank you, Charlotte!”

Karolyne B.

“Cats were well looked after, relaxed and ate well. They were fed, given fresh water and their litter trays dealt with as requested. Home was left tidy and the rubbish was taken out. She even put our wheelie bin out ready for rubbish collection. Great service. Much nicer than putting the cats in a cattery. Easy to organise and had regular messages with pictures to reassure us that everything was fine. Would definitely use again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since a young age, and grew up with 2 Maltese Shih Tzu's Ralph and Frankie. I walked, fed and most importantly cuddled them everyday. I now live with an adorable beagle, bursting with energy. I have dog and cat sat for family and friends multiple times since the age of 17, so have plenty experience with all types of dogs. While I have less experience with cats, I still love to look after them and give them just as much love (when they want it!). Hire me if you want a friendly and reliable pet sitter! I work full time Monday-Friday 8:30-17:00 typically. I am able to offer attention/walking/feeding in the morning, during my afternoon lunch break and all evening. On the weekends, I'm fully free to give you pets all my attention. I can offer your animals safety as I am used to living in environments where pets are the main focus. I would treat your home with care and respect to ensure you come back to your home just how you left it.

“Caitlin was great, used for a drop in for our lovely snowdrop, fed well, played with and lots of picture updates which was lovely. Will definitely be booking her again.”

About: Me and my partner Ben, 25 & 28 have both had pets our whole lives. We have loads of free time in the day and would love to look after your pets! I also have an enhanced DBS. We have free time in the days and weekends, one of us can always be home, and we have so much free time for walks and playing! We have a fenced off back garden with plenty of space, and shade. Lots of space indoors, nice and secure. And a lovely walk nearby. The gates to the garden are padlocked, and the house is alarmed.

“Pauline was reliable, friendly and thorogh. She always sent regular reports, so we didn't worry about anything while Pauline was looking after our cat.”

About: I’m a caring and experienced pet sitter with over 3 years of hands-on experience looking after a wide range of animals. I’ve cared for multi-dog households, multi-cat homes (including sphynx, domestic shorthair and ragdolls), as well as puppies and dogs of all sizes—from small pugs right through to a XL bullies. I’ve also looked after chickens, although I’ve realised this isn’t my favourite type of care. Over the years, I’ve built up a lovely, loyal group of regular clients, and I take real pride in providing calm, reliable, and attentive care that’s tailored to each pet’s individual personality and needs. I’m fully insured with Protectivity and always use contracts and Veterinary Release forms for every booking, so everything is clear, professional, and covered in case of emergencies. At the moment, I’m gently shifting my focus towards drop-in visits, local daytime care, and occasional dog walking, as I’m aiming to spend more time at home. For dog walks, I’m best suited to dogs who walk nicely on the lead, or who have flawless recall, as I’m unable to safely manage strong pulling due to my own health needs. Pet care fits into my schedule alongside my other commitments, and I plan my bookings carefully to make sure each pet gets the time and attention they deserve. I offer flexibility for drop-in visits, local day care, and dog walks, and I keep my calendar updated so clients can rely on my availability. As I’m currently focusing more on staying at home, I am selective with bookings to ensure I can provide consistent, calm, and unhurried care for every pet I look after Got it — this is your “experience” section, so we want it confident, clear, and slightly curated so it feels professional without oversharing. Here’s a polished Rover bio paragraph based on what you wrote: I have over 3 years of experience as a professional pet sitter, caring for a wide range of animals including multi-dog households, multi-cat homes (including sphynx, domestic shorthair and ragdolls), puppies, and dogs of all sizes from pugs through to XL bullies. I have also cared for chickens, although I found this wasn’t my preferred area of care. I have built a steady, regular client base through my pet sitting work and take pride in providing calm, reliable, and attentive care tailored to each animal’s needs. At present, I am shifting my focus towards drop-in visits, local daytime care, and dog walking, as I am looking to spend more time at home. For dog walking, I am best suited to dogs who walk calmly on lead, as I am unable to safely manage strong pulling due to my own health needs. If you want, I can also: make it sound more “warm and Rover-friendly” shorten it for a tighter profile or turn it into a full bio that converts better for bookings (headline + intro + experience + services) Make it sound more warm and Rover-friendly Here’s a warmer, more Rover-friendly version that still keeps it professional but feels more inviting and personal: I’m a caring and experienced pet sitter with over 3 years of hands-on experience looking after a wide range of animals. I’ve cared for multi-dog households, busy multi-cat homes (including sphynx, domestic shorthair and ragdolls), as well as puppies and dogs of all sizes—from small pugs right through to XL bullies. I’ve also looked after chickens, although I’ve realised this isn’t my favourite type of care.

For dog walks, I’m best suited to dogs who walk nicely on the lead, as I’m unable to safely manage strong pulling due to my own health needs. If you want, I can also help you add a really strong closing line (the bit that often makes people click “book”), or trim this down so it fits Rover’s ideal bio length perfectly. I'm insured with Protectivity and always have a contract and Veterinary Release documents in place in case of emergencies Great addition — that really boosts trust, especially on Rover. Here’s your warm, Rover-friendly bio with that included smoothly: I’m a caring and experienced pet sitter with over 3 years of hands-on experience looking after a wide range of animals. I’ve cared for multi-dog households, busy multi-cat homes (including sphynx, domestic shorthair and ragdolls), as well as puppies and dogs of all sizes—from small pugs right through to XL bullies.

For dog walks, I’m best suited to dogs who walk nicely on the lead, as I’m unable to safely manage strong pulling due to my own health needs. If you want, I can next help you make a short “Rover intro blurb” (the bit people see first in search results), which can really help you stand out. The headline needa to be less than 35 characters please Got it — 35 characters is tight, so we need something punchy and clear. Here are strong options that fit: Best all-round choice: Drop-ins & Dog Walking Care Other good options: Reliable Drop-ins & Dog Walking Experienced Drop-ins & Walks Pet Care: Drop-ins & Walks Calm Drop-ins & Dog Walking Trusted Drop-ins & Walks If you want something that still hints at experience but stays clean and Rover-friendly, I’d go with: 👉 Drop-ins & Dog Walking Care If you want, I can tailor it to sound slightly more “premium”, more “friendly neighbour”, or more “high-end professional”—depending on the kind of clients you want to attract. Need a separate blurb for my experience with cats Bald or fluffy, I love all cats. I have 2 outdoor and 1 indoor cats so used to litter trays and disposing of mice, bat's and newts. I've cared for sphynx cats, peterbalds and a ragdoll many times and helped socialise cats at the RSPCA. I can administer oral medication, flea and tick treatments or just watch them while they sleep in the sunshine and try not to smoosh them :D This is lovely already — just needs a gentle polish to make it flow smoothly and feel a bit more professional while keeping your personality. Here’s a Rover-ready version: Bald or fluffy, I love all cats. I have experience caring for both indoor and outdoor cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with litter trays and the less glamorous side of cat care, including the occasional “gift” of mice, bats, or newts. I’ve cared for sphynx cats, peterbalds, and ragdolls many times, and I’ve also helped socialise cats through RSPCA work. I’m confident administering oral medication as well as flea and tick treatments where needed. Otherwise, I’m just as happy to keep them company while they nap in the sunshine and quietly admire them (without disturbing their very important sleep schedule!). If you want, I can also make a shorter version for Rover’s “quick intro” section, or a slightly more formal one if you want to appeal to higher-end cat-only clients. My healdine was "happy to be a cat slave" I get the vibe you’re going for, but I’d strongly avoid “cat slave” on Rover. It can come across a bit unprofessional and may put off more cautious clients (even if cat people would get the joke). Here are some warmer, safer alternatives that still keep the playful tone: Playful + Rover-friendly: Happy to Serve Your Cats Cat Lover & Trusted Sitter Happiest in Cat Company Dedicated Cat Companion At Your Cats’ Service Cat Care with Love & Respect Best balance (fun but still professional): 👉 Happiest in Cat Company If you want something slightly cheekier but still safe: 👉 Professional Cat Admirer (Fully Willing to Be Ignored) If you tell me the vibe you want (cute, luxury, funny, or super professional), I can fine-tune it even further so it matches your profile perfectly. It says to make it short, descriptive and genuine Perfect — that instruction actually helps a lot. For Rover, “short, descriptive and genuine” works best when it sounds calm, confident, and not trying too hard. Here are strong headline options that fit that brief: Best overall: Cat Lover & Experienced Sitter Other solid options: Caring Cat Sitter with 3+ Years Experience Calm, Reliable Cat Care Experienced Cat Sitter & Animal Lover Gentle, Trusted Cat Care Provider Dedicated Cat Care & Home Visits If you want the closest feel to your original personality without sounding risky or unprofessional, I’d go with: 👉 Cat Lover & Experienced Sitter It’s simple, honest, and instantly tells people what they need to know without any friction. If you want, I can also align your dog + cat headlines so your whole Rover profile feels consistent and really clickable in search results. Ita now asking how does pet care fit into my schedule This is your chance to reassure without overcommitting — Rover wants to know you’re reliable, but also that you won’t overbook or cancel. Here’s a warm, honest answer you can use: Pet care fits into my schedule alongside my other commitments, and I plan my bookings carefully to make sure each pet gets the time and attention they deserve. I offer flexibility for drop-in visits, local day care, and dog walks, and I keep my calendar updated so clients can rely on my availability. As I’m currently focusing more on staying at home, I am selective with bookings to ensure I can provide consistent, calm, and unhurried care for every pet I look after. If you want a slightly shorter version: I plan my pet care around my other commitments and keep my schedule updated to ensure reliability. I focus on drop-ins, local day care, and dog walks, and I’m selective with bookings so I can give each pet calm, consistent attention. If you want, I can also tailor this to subtly reduce expectations around frequency (so you don’t get overbooked or pushed back into full sits). Ads do not influence the answers you get from ChatGPT. Your chats stay private. Learn about ads and personalization I offer sitting services in your home, where your pet feels comfortable. I like to keep your pets in the routine that you have them in. I send multiple picture and video updates daily and maps of routes we have walked including dates, times and length. I will only take on larger dogs that are allowed off lead, or that don't pull when on lead, due to having chronic pain and shoulder and back instability as this ensures I can keep them safe to the best of my ability. I always keep your dog safe by putting them on lead if another walker has their dog on lead, to ensure both dogs are kept safe and I can easily control any situations that may arise. My time is fully focused on being with your pet for the duration of the sit, so your pet would very rarely spend time alone during a sit. I like pet parents to write down times for feeding and walks, knowledge of their pets favourite toys or places to go and any behaviours I should be aware of . I ask where they're allowed access to in your home and what makes them happiest. This is really strong content already — it just needs tightening, smoothing, and making it feel more “Rover-professional” (clear, confident, less repetitive, and slightly softer in tone while keeping your boundaries firm). Here’s a polished version you can use: I offer in-home pet sitting where your pet can stay comfortable in their own routine and familiar surroundings. I follow your usual schedule as closely as possible and aim to keep things calm, consistent, and reassuring for your pet. I provide regular updates throughout each booking, including multiple photo and video messages. For dog walks, I can also share route information with timings and duration so you know exactly what your pet has been up to. Your pet’s safety is always my priority. I will only take on larger dogs who are either safe off lead or do not pull on the lead, due to my own chronic pain and shoulder/back instability. This ensures I can handle them safely and provide the best possible care. I also take a cautious approach on walks and will always put dogs on lead around other dogs who are already leashed to help avoid any risk and keep everyone safe. During sits, my focus is fully on your pet, so they will rarely be left alone. I like to work closely with owners beforehand and appreciate clear guidance on feeding times, walk routines, favourite toys or places, and any behaviours I should be aware of. I also ask about house access and what makes your pet happiest, so I can make their time as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. If you want, I can also: make this shorter (Rover often prefers a more compact version) or soften the “medical limitation” line slightly while keeping it clear and safe or make it more “premium sitter” sounding if you’re aiming for higher-paying clients Make this shorter Here’s a shorter, tighter version that keeps everything important but reads more smoothly for Rover: I offer in-home pet sitting so your pet can stay comfortable in their own routine and familiar surroundings. I follow their usual schedule as closely as possible and aim to keep things calm, consistent, and reassuring. I provide regular updates throughout each booking, including photos and videos. For dog walks, I can also share route, timing, and duration details. Your pet’s safety is always my priority. Due to chronic pain and shoulder/back instability, I can only take on larger dogs who are either safe off lead or do not pull on the lead, as this allows me to care for them safely and confidently. I also take a cautious approach on walks and will ensure dogs are kept on lead around other leashed dogs for everyone’s safety. During sits, my focus is fully on your pet, and they are very rarely left alone. I work closely with owners beforehand to understand feeding routines, walk schedules, favourite things, and any important behaviours, so I can provide the most tailored care possible. If you want, I can make one even slightly punchier (more search-friendly) or one that softens the health limitation line further while still protecting you. Make one even slightly punchier (more search-friendly) Here’s a punchier, more search-friendly version that keeps it clear, structured, and Rover-optimised: In-home pet sitting focused on keeping your pet comfortable in their own routine and familiar surroundings. I provide calm, consistent care and follow your usual schedule as closely as possible. Regular updates are included throughout each booking, with photos and videos. For dog walks, I can also provide route, timing, and duration details. Safety is always a priority. Due to chronic pain and shoulder/back instability, I only take on larger dogs who are either safe off lead or do not pull on the lead, or will arrange to book a private field, as this ensures I can handle them safely and confidently. I also keep dogs on lead around other leashed dogs to maintain control and safety for everyone. I have seat belts for attaching to harnesses in my car. I’m fully present during sits, so pets are very rarely left alone. I work closely with owners beforehand to understand routines, feeding, walks, preferences, and any behavioural notes to provide tailored, reliable care.

“Amelia was brilliant when dropping in to visit our cat Nina, she always kept me updated with cute pictures, thanks for taking such good care of her!”

“Paige stepped in to help us at the last moment on a bank holiday weekend after our plans fell apart. She met our dogs and they loved her. She went above and beyond for us all weekend. The dogs were so happy and therefore so were we. We asked so much of Paige and she delivered more than we could possibly have wished for. Thank you thank you Amazing job.”

About: I had a cat for 12 years and have a dog (cockapoo) who is 4 years old. I also have a cocker spaniel who is nearly 2 (he lives with my mum in a different property) I have such a massive love for all animals, especially dogs and am also a huge cat lover. I would love for nothing more than to help people out by doing something that I’ve always loved - caring for animals. Very skilled at caring for puppies/dogs, kittens/cats. Looking at my photos you can see my own dog Poppy the apricot Cockapoo, and a variety of other dogs that I am around quite frequently, as small as Dachshund or as big as a Doberman. I’m very flexible and will ensure all instructions or preferences from the owner are carried out. I think this is very important to ensure the pet is staying in the habits the owner would like. For example, not being allowed on beds if the owner is training the dog to not jump on beds. I am looking to provide services of dog walking, drop ins and overnight stays in the owners home. I can drive which makes me even more flexible, I can therefore drive pets to different walking destinations (only if the owner confirms this is okay - owner could provide a dog cage for the car if necessary). I will give my undivided attention to the pet and care for them as if they were my own. Overall I just love animals and would love to help people out! I work full time, but from home,!meaning I am able to come and look after your dog/cat during the week and be at home all day with them caring for them. I work from just a laptop so no set up required, just WiFi! In regards to dog walks I have an hour lunch and can do mornings or after work. I have had pets most of my life and know how important it is to make sure they are safe at all times. This mainly entails making sure they are in a safe environment e.g doors shut and keeping them in areas they are not able to just run out of.
