Dog Sitting Lymington

“Anne- Marie was fantastic! She came to meet us and Beans at home the day before and was keen to know as much detail about Beans as possible. She listened and responded appropriately. She kept in touch with us whilst we were away, letting us know all was well. We highly recommend Anne-Marie! Thanks so much.”

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!

“Hilary was prompt and super friendly! Her and Apollo got on amazingly. Can’t wait to have her back to look after Apollo again in the future ☺️”

“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”

“Hollie is so lovely and took great care of my cats while I was away including giving them their medications. She gave me daily updates and there were no problems throughout.”

About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life and absolutely love using Rover as it allows me to spend time with all your lovely pooches whilst I am unable to get a dog of my own. I have experience with many breeds, including Dobermans, Labs, Pointers, Terriers, Cockapoos and Dachshunds and I tailor my approach to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Keeping dogs happy, stimulated and exercised is what I love. From long morning walks to engaging daytime games and evening cuddles on the sofa you can trust your dog will be having a great time and I’ll of course be sending you lots of pictures and updates throughout their stay. I am a fully remote worker so I can offer boarding at my house (provided dogs are house trained) or I can do stays at your house. My partner (also a huge dog lover) will occasionally join me on these stays. I am a remote worker so I am at home all day to care for the dogs. So walks and doggy activities are planned around my work schedule (morning walks, lunchtime play in the garden and evening activities). My only requirement is your dog needs to be well-behaved during down times as I will need to be on work calls during the day. I have experience with all sorts of different personalities so will largely follow your direction and usual routine. I know the area well and choose my walks carefully based on how reactive they are with other dogs. Regarding my house, we have a secure garden for them to explore.

“As always great communication, happy dogs and fully recommended.”

About: Hey there! I'm Lucy, a 31-year-old dog lover with a lifetime of experience. Growing up with German Shepherds, I now have a 7-year-old Cocker Spaniel named Ditto, whom I trained as a therapy dog. I have basic animal first aid skills and have had the pleasure of helping to welp a few litters. I'm very flexible and can easily accommodate your needs. With a dog in my own home, I am well-versed in understanding and meeting your dog's wants and needs. I have 6ft fenced garden so you can be assured your dog is safe (if staying with me). What ever you says goes! I know people want certain things for their pets, as would I with mine. I can accommodate crate training if needed providing this comes with your dog

“Anya dropped in to feed our cats and make sure they were well while we were away. We found them well looked after and would definitely use Anya’s expert services again.”

About: I've been doing house sitting, primarily with dogs but also with cats, chickens, sheep, ponies and even a parrot on another platform for nearly 3 years and have built up a strong 5* profile there. Unfortunately I'm not allowed to show any of that here so I'm shamefully undercutting everyone else until someone let's me prove the value that many other pet owners already know :) In terms of what might set me out from all the other amazing house sitters I keep hearing about, I guess it would have to be technology so if you want a digital dog diary or a live webcam feed so you can check in, I'm your guy. I've also worked with dogs on improving their walking on lead skills, waiting for food and basic commands. I will also happily water plants, rake leaves, mow lawns or any other general upkeep you would like doing. I enjoy the company of dogs, that's why I got into this originally but I'm also trying to build up an outdoor adventure business to help get kids to go explore the outdoors so if you select me, you'll also be supporting that business and for that, I am eternally grateful! :) When I'm not doing creating outdoor adventures, I do geeky things involving a laptop so as I set my own schedule, I'll be available for all your doggies needs as and when they arise. It can be upsetting enough for dogs when their owners are away so I just try to keep things as familiar as possible with the added benefit of extra company on tap. Dogs sense temperament in people and I'm pretty chilled so they tend to feel comfortable around me quite quickly.

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a cocker spaniel called Harry who is a lovely dog and is a bundle of energy! I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends, neighbours and volunteering over the years. I currently work at a school full time so my availability is mostly during weekends and evenings but during half term and summer holidays I am always available! A dogs safety is the most important thing and this is what I shall prioritise. I would love to take dogs to fulfilling yet safe environments, in which they can have a comfortable walk.

About: I grew up with 2 dogs (Wimpy the German Sherperf and Digger the Golden Retriever) I adored them so much and took them out for walks and played with them every day and have now moved out and miss them dearly and know how hard it is to always be there for them so I’m here to help look after your number 1 companion. I promise to fulfil a professional and skilful service and try to excel at keeping your pets happy, clean and healthy. I take the up most care with any pets I come across and will go above and beyond to look after your companion. I will treat them as my own and promise to give them back at the end of the service.

About: I'm a dog lover but sadly my work doesn't allow me to have my own so I get my fix by dog sitting for others. I frequently look after dogs for family and friends and have had only positive feedback. I work full time Monday - Friday and one weekend in four. My work is flexible and allows for home and hybrid working giving me availability for walking and drop ins. I generally work from home Monday and Friday and am normally available from 4pm Tuesday - Thursday. My job allows a level of flexibility so if my default calendar isn't showing me as available, please give me a message and we may be able to work something out. I'm an avid hiker and walker so I'm no stranger to long walks in the forest and some canine company would compliment that. I live in a bungalow just a 5 minute drive from the beautiful New Forest and 10 minutes from the local beach. The road I live in is quiet and I am the sole occupier with no pets of my own. I have a fair sized garden which is fully fenced and secure. I treat pets as I would my own and they are allowed on the furniture and the bed. I am a non smoker and maintain a tidy home. I'm strict with their diet so you can rest assured they won't be snacking on food that isn't good for them.

“Lovely to meet Carys and Harrison before we went away. They asked everything they needed to know and set up a way to communicate while we were away. We received updates every evening and it was clear that they genuinely liked looking after the cats.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—growing up, there were always dogs and cats in the house, so caring for them quickly became second nature. That early experience gave me natural confidence and affection with pets. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and temperaments, including senior dogs who need a little extra tender loving care and puppies who are still learning the basics. I really take the time to get to know each animal’s personality and what makes them feel safe and happy. I treat every pet like family, because I know just how much they mean to you. I'm currently available most days. I am not working so I am very flexible. I can be available to care for your pet anytime from morning to night. My home is a safe, pet-friendly space where your furry friend can feel right at home. My garden is fully fenced off and the inside of my home is cozy, clean and free of any potential hazards. Whether your let loves lounging in the sun or playing around in the garden, they'll have a safe and relaxing environment to enjoy.

About: Hi, my name is raphael. I have had dogs my whole life, i currently own a pug (who i got from 8 weeks, he's now the happiest boy and almost 3 years old) i have also adopted a rescue chihuahua who is half blind (she has been with me for the past year). I have a lot of love for all animals, i also have a tropical fish business. I know how to train dogs from puppy's and i am able to take care of dogs with handicaps. All dogs are welcome no matter the size or behaviour! :) I work a full time job as a teamleader at a care company. I work there 5 and 4 days on a 2 week basis. My days of work are: monday-tuesday-wednesday-saturday-sunday-monday-wednesday-thursday. Aside of this when i have appointments i do maintenance on fishtanks for multiple clients but there are no set dates. I also work on the side for ubereats, i do this whenever i am free. Dog sitting or walking or staying the night are all possible on the days that i am off from my main job, and i am happy to do nights as well. As i said in the previous bit, i am able to take care of all sorts of dogs with all types of needs. Puppy's, agressive, elderly, handicapped, etc. Sadly i am unable to place them in my own home due to already having 2 dogs and a cat. My rescued chihuahua is not very friendly towards new dogs thus it would not be the best situation. Instead i am able to come to your house and give your dog the best care it could imagine. I look forward to hearing from you and your dog soon!:)

About: I grew up with 2 black Labrador’s that I was responsible for walking and training. After they passed, I had a westie that required a different level of nurturing and support - I realised how much I loved dogs as they offer their own kind of support to you in return. When I was an adult, I got my own puppy. A half lab/ half mastiff named Lenny - I trained him from 8 weeks old myself, ensuring his recall was a priority! He grew up with 2 small children and I ensured he was socialised with other dogs immediately. We walked 5-10k a day and he was fed a raw food diet to minimise joint issues. We regularly care and look after friends and families dogs and are trusted to put their well-being first I work in a school full time and am available intermittently throughout the day - I live an active lifestyle with two children, bringing a dog along is a wonderful bonus. My children are with their dad every other weekend and I am therefore available to offer services alone during this time. I am caring, patient and compassionate. I have a deep love for animals and as I am aware of the difficulties of pet care during extended work hours, I would like to offer help to those who require it. I am firm, a natural leader and un-afraid of dogs of any size.
