“Caitlin looked after our cat when we were on vacation and she was great! She is very professional, always on time, sends frequent updates. We definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a cat sitter.”


About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life, they have mostly been rescues and larger to middle dog breeds. I am confident and calm around dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities. I also have a little experience with cats and small dog breeds which have mostly been family pets. I have some experience in basic training and I can connect well with dogs who need that little bit of extra time, attention and patience. I have this experience because my family dog who's 13 has Cushing's disease and has issues with her back legs. I have a lot of experience with German Shepard's (my old girl is a German Shepard cross) and Collie's, but I would love to expand my experience with other dog breeds and also cats ☺️ I am currently on summer break for university so my schedule if currently very open and flexible. I spend most of my time reading, walking, or going to the gym which means that I will be able to give your fur baby/babies plenty of time and attention they need. I'm available for walks and/or pop-ins most weekdays and weekends, including short notice bookings. However, my schedule will change a bit once university starts back up but it won't change drastically. I'm happy to follow your pet's usual routine, do a bit of training with them if needed, use crates if needed/requested. I will also provide you with regular updates and pictures so that you can feel relaxed, confident and connected while you are away. I hold a full, clean driving license just in case of any emergencies or vet visits.

About: Hi, I’m Danny Aller I’ve been around animals my whole life — my grandma ran a kennel business, so from a young age, I was helping care for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I’d help her groom, feed, and love on every pup that came through her doors. Over the years, I’ve had pets of my own too — dogs, cats, and even a couple of raccoons! Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle, or just keeping your pet company while you're away, I’ve got it covered with care and experience you can trust. I work full time 8am/3pm so after work I have plenty of time to care/walk dog/cats/any pet I’m honest reliable passionate for all animals alike. To make sure your pets get the best care I will provide them with my undivided attention at all times meaning any of my personal pets will stay at home. While walking I’ll make sure the safety of your pet is my first and only priority. Meaning keep other animals away making sure I’m in a close walking distance at all time. Like stated before safe/secure/comfortable is my biggest concern for the owner also the pet.

About: I’ve been around animals since early childhood with years of caring for pups, cats, even chickens of all breeds and sizes. I’ve looked after dogs and cats for friends, family and have a growing list of happy clients. Whether your dog loves long walks, your cats zoomy playtime or just a cozy nap buddy, they’ll be treated like family in my care. I currently work full-time Monday to Friday, 9–5, so early mornings, evenings, weekends and overnight sitting are no problem at all. Additional arrangements can be made to fit your needs as required. I’m happy to tailor walks from your doorstep and for dogs who enjoy car travel, I can also take them to the New Forest for relaxed trail walks I know well. During boarding, your dog will enjoy a spacious home with ample fields to explore. I’ll happily adapt to their routine to ensure they feel comfortable.

About: I am 18 years old and about to finish a level 3 qualification in animal management which allowed me to develop my knowledge on the care of a wide range of animals including domestics, and I was able to gain more experience with cats and dogs during practical sessions. I was taught how to complete thorough health checks (both visual and physical) to ensure I am able to monitor their health. I have had a cat since I was around four years old and I got a dog around 3 years ago so I am familiar with the typical routine of a domestic pet, plus I have some skills in dog training as I was required to train my dog for an assignment at college. Besides my own pets, I have cared for both cats and dogs since I was young as I would look after friends and family’s pets when they were away. I completed a six month placement at a kennel and cattery, during my first year of college, where I gained hands on experience with administering care for cats and dogs and I was taught to be able to recognise their behaviours and identify when something may be wrong. Last year I also volunteered at an animal shelter for a few months where the majority of my responsibilities involved caring for cats of all ages and temperaments - which included cleaning out, feeding, providing enrichment, and socialising, especially with young or nervous cats. Some of my tasks also involved working with the dogs such as cleaning out, exercising, grooming, providing enrichment, and socialising. I am currently at college 3 days a week, however I am free on Wednesdays, Friday afternoons, Saturdays and Sundays. I may also be available after college in the evenings in some cirumstances. I provide care in the pet owner’s home so that the animal can stay in a comfortable and familiar environment. I follow any specific instructions to ensure their routine is kept the same. I aim to build trust with both the animals and their owners through clear communication and reliability.

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life including living on a farm for my first 8 years of life. I love getting active with them and apprythe importance of proper enrichment and a nurturing environment. During my diploma I studied veterinary nursing, welfare, behaviour and small animal rehabilitation including a practical period where dogs and kennels were the focus of our training. I am currently taking a gap year so I have plenty of free time for walks, training and semi consistent house sitting. I like at home so my own pets have my parents to look after them so I can make your pets my priority for that period. I ask to have phone numbers incase of emergency and a short description of your pets need while I am with them. Such things like usual temperament, if they are okey with other animals, toilet training etc. this allows me to tailor my care specifically to your pet right from the begining.

About: I have grown up with dogs and puppies all different sizes and breeds. I have had experience dog sitting in other people's homes and my own as well as walking. I work full time but work can be flexible and depending on the day. Most weekends I am out with my own dogs walking as well as other people's either together or separately. Myself and my partner are looking to buy a house and are trying to get into the New Forest as much as we can. My partner may join me on dog walks or house sitting. He has very similar experiences as myself as he has grown up around dogs as well. In our photos Poppy is my dog and Missy is his. At someone else's home I always visit first the owners and their pets to meet and make sure that they like me as well as getting to know the house. Where is secure and what their pets routine looks like so that I can follow it to the best of my ability.

About: I am a lifelong cat lover, I have 29 years of experience looking after cats of all ages and personalities, whether that be administering medication or just having a cuddle. During my cat sitting duties I’ve provided drop in visits, medication administration, litter box maintenance, and I am able to tailor my attention to each cats routine and personality. I have also provided light house care such as watering plants. In addition to my cat sitting duties I am also a Trustee and volunteer at St Francis Animal Welfare a role that deepens my understanding of animal care, wellbeing and behaviour everyday. Through my work with the charity I’ve; Helped care for cats in need, gained hands on experience with rescue animals, contributed to creating a safe environment for timid cats, worked with a team to advocate for responsible pet ownership and care. This background gives me an added level or awareness, patience and skill when looking after your cat, especially if they are nervous or have special needs. I know how important it is to feel confident your cat is safe, happy and well cared for, that is why I treat every cat as if they were my own, with patience, kindness and lots of love. I am happy to meet owners before a sitting if required. I currently work part time that I can be flexible with so I can provide care for your cat on whatever day(s) are required, Monday to Sunday. I can provide visits tailored to your cats needs whether that be in home boarding or daily drop ins. The safety and comfort of your cat is my top priority. I understand cats can be sensitive to having different people in the home, so I will work hard to keep a calm, secure and familiar routine while you are away. I will treat your home and cat with respect and can provide daily updates and photos. I am always reachable if you have any questions. I will make sure the house is kept secure and escape proof (if you have an indoor cat) during every visit. I will follow your cats schedule as closely as possible so they feel relaxed and secure. I am comfortable administering medication and caring for special needs cats. Whether your cat is shy or confident I can create a safe and peaceful experience that puts yours and your cats minds at ease!

“Brilliant service. Professional, caring and followed my particular instructions to a tee. Ellie kept us updated with pictures of our cats and gave our beloved boys the love and care we would give them ourselves. Fantastic! Will defo use Ellie and her partner again.”


“Couldn't recommend Chloe enough. We needed someone to look after our cat last minute and Chloe was extremely flexible and even managed to come and meet him prior to sitting. She went above and beyond to ensure our cat was a happy boy. We will definitely be usimg Chloe again in the future.”


About: I have offered dog walking and pet sitting services for over 7 years.

I work as a full time nurse, and my schedule changes every week. This means I have some weekdays and some weekends available to offer pet walking and sitting services. I currently do not offer any pet sitting services within my own home, due to having my own pets and this being their own space.

About: We always had dogs growing up, including rescues, but unfortunately I'm not home enough to have one full time. Living in the New Forest, it seems crazy not to have their company on my beach and forest walks. I love animals and have lots of experience being around them. I've always offered to take my friend's dogs out for walks, it makes me happy to know they're getting out for some fresh air and exercise. I'm currently on a sabbatical so have plenty of free time. I'm surrounded by lots of amazing walks and like to keep active by getting out every day. I have a good understanding of animal behaviour and will respect the rules the owner has set. I'm also happy to help with any training and will love your dog as much as you.

About: I have had a love of animals ever since I can remember, but dogs are my absolute love. I have cared for many over the years, including my own, friends and family. I have all the experience to provide a safe and loving environment for your dog to stay at when you need it. I have experience of many breed types and characters, as well as the knowledge to care for puppies to seniors and dogs with long term illnesses, such as diabetes or pancreatitis. I am home every day, all day and therefore am more than able to provide a tailored routine for your dog. Their needs would be my primary concern. I have a friendly dog who is always happy to have other dogs come to stay or walk with us. They would have the run of the house as our dog does. We have a garden and a wood just across the road to walk in every day.
About: "I’ve been a devoted pet owner since childhood, caring for dogs and cats throughout my life. Currently, I have two dogs—one big, one small—so I understand the unique needs of different breeds and sizes. Beyond personal experience, I’ve worked with high-energy and working dogs, giving me valuable insight into their training and care. I’m also in the process of renewing my qualification in Pet Sitting, Dog Walking & First Aid for Pets, ensuring I can provide knowledgeable and safe care. With a lifetime of experience and a deep love for animals, I treat every pet as if they were my own—providing comfort, fun, and reliable care. As a semi-retired person, I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to accommodate your pet’s needs. While I find early mornings and late afternoons work best for me, I’m not strictly tied to those times and can adjust as needed. Whether it’s a daily walk, occasional sitting, or last-minute care, I’m happy to work around your schedule to ensure your pet gets the attention and companionship they deserve. I provide walking and drop-in services exclusively, ensuring that pets remain comfortable in their own environment. Before I begin care, we’ll go over all the important do’s and don’ts to make sure your pet’s routine is respected. For walks, your pet will be safely transported in the back of my van, equipped with bedding and fresh water for their comfort. I only look after pets from one household at a time, so they’ll either enjoy their walks solo or alongside their familiar companions. If your pet is friendly with other animals, my own dogs may occasionally join for company, creating a familiar and enjoyable experience.

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.

She loves dogs and loves going for walks in the New Forest which is right on her doorstep. She has looked after her friends and family's dogs when they go on holiday and gives the dogs lots of love and attention and the animals remember her and get so excited when they see her. She would be perfect for this.”


Claire G.
“Claire looked after my puppy Bonnie for a couple of weeks when I went away. She was amazing, very responsive to txts and updates on Bonnie. I never have any concerns when Bonnie is with Claire and her family as I know they will look after as if she was their own. Claire’s house was always welcoming and Bonnie and I have been there a few times for day sitting as well. It’s clear to see Bonnie love’s Claire’s home and feels completely at ease there. Very caring and welcoming family. Your dogs will love it with Claire.”


Patricia H.
“Trish is the epitome of an "animal person" - kind, caring, responsible and extremely knowledgeable about the care needs of our little fur babies. Trish is one of the few people I would entrust my Sammy and Sheldon to, as they have specific care needs, and can be quite particular about who they spend time with. I cannot recommend Trish highly enough, and would not hesitate in encouraging anyone looking for someone to look after their pets who loves them almost as much as you do, in reaching out to Trish.”
