About: I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life. My family have had dogs since I was little and I now regularly look after my mums dog during the week and when she goes on holiday as well as other family and friends dogs. I am available during the week and on weekends and work from home so I can be flexible to suit you needs. I work from home and have an office in the garden so your dog would have constant company and be free to roam from the house to the garden. I walk every day and I love being outdoors in the fresh air. I also have a car so can collect your dogs or pop over for company/toilet breaks or for a walk. I have a fully enclosed fenced back garden with plenty of space. Your dog will be treated like one of the family with plenty of love, walks, cuddles and attention. My home is their home. I live 2 minutes from a park, 10 minutes from the forest and 30 minutes from the beach so there are plenty of places for walks. I have a husband and a daughter who are both dog lovers but it will be me who will take full care and control of your dog while in our home
“Life saver. We contacted Keighley en route to France as family members work arrangements changed and we found ourselves with a huge problem. Fortunately Keighley was able to step in and provide cover to walk and feed the dogs. Without her I think we would have had to cut short our holiday. Absolute life saver, professional and reliable. I cannot thank you enough.”

About: We have had animals in our past homes for 20 years me and my husband been together 22 years and also handled puppies whilst one of mine was in labour so I had a lot of experience with dogs of all different breeds.Before Dog boarding I used to look after friends and family’s dogs whilst they were away and took the leap to join officially through rover. I have a papillon now called Harvey and he likes to play has lots of fun to play with other dogs big or small , dogs seem to love coming to mine has its going from home to home without the upset or pining for there owners while they are away , they have way too much fun with toys and walks around the woods that’s backed onto me. Start the day by letting the dogs out, feeding them, and having breakfast. After that, take them for a good morning walk so they can get some exercise and explore. Once you're home, spend some time playing with them, whether it's fetch, tug, training, or games in the garden. While they rest, you can do your household jobs, relax, or enjoy a hobby. Later in the day, have lunch and enjoy some quiet time together. In the afternoon, give the dogs another play session or some enrichment, such as puzzle toys or scent games, followed by a shorter walk. In the evening, feed the dogs, have your dinner, and spend time relaxing together before taking them out for one final toilet break before bed. This keeps them active, happy, and settled throughout the day. I have quite a big garden. Patio and artificial grass which is fenced off. Very Secure Garden lots of room to play around there and squeaky toys and balls and beds to sunbathe 😜
About: I'm Naomi, your pet's new best friend, here to provide a loving and fun environment for your furry companions. I'm not only a passionate dog lover with years of experience caring for various breeds and needs, but I'm also the proud owner of a trained assistance dog. Together, we'll make sure your pet feels right at home! My home is a calm and loving space where your pet can relax and enjoy plenty of cuddles. I have experience and skills in training, socialisation, and specialised support for dogs of all ages and abilities – from lively pups to wise seniors and even those with unique needs like blindness. Your pet will be in the best of hands, as I'm well-versed in medication administration and regular grooming, and have even helped my own dog achieve the Kennel Club Good Citizen Bronze Award! I'm the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends, and I can't wait to share my love and expertise with your cherished companion. When your furry friend stays with me, they'll not only receive top-notch care but also have a blast exploring, playing, and making new memories in a nurturing environment. So, let's get to know each other and give your pet the holiday they deserve with their new best friend! Pet care fits really naturally into my life, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. I work in Fareham during the day and usually finish at 4pm, but I can pop in for visits around Fareham during my lunch break, as well as before or after work. I’m also available most evenings and weekends, and I occasionally work from home. On Fridays I finish at 12pm, so I have even more flexibility then. I’m a big fan of getting outside and especially love being at the beach, so if your dog enjoys a good walk, a bit of exploring or a trip somewhere new, even better! I’m also happy to care for dogs who are comfortable being left for a few hours while I’m at work, as long as that fits their usual routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are really important to me. I know how difficult it can be leaving your dog with someone new, so I want them to feel safe, settled and comfortable in my care. I’m a dog owner myself, so I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and little quirks. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet and follow the routines and instructions you leave for me, whether that’s feeding, walks, medication, playtime or simply giving them some company. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll always treat your home with the same respect I would my own. I’m happy to send updates and photos while you’re away, too, so you know how your pet is getting on. Most importantly, I want them to have a calm, positive experience and for you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being looked after.
About: I believe in providing customised care that makes every pet feel safe, happy, and loved in a home environment. My approach is defined by my special skills and dedication to peace of mind for pet parents: Customised Care: I make an effort to understand a pet's unique personality and energy level to create a personalised routine that goes beyond a standard walk or feeding. Tidy Home Guarantee: I will always clean up after every visit, ensuring your home is left just as I found it. Specialised Skills: I am experienced with puppy training on basic commands and comfortable with the specific needs of senior pets, including oral medication administration and managing slower paces. Reliable Communication: I provide regular, detailed updates with photos and videos to give you complete peace of mind while you're away. I'm currently taking a break from my full-time job, which is great because it means I have a completely open and flexible schedule. Pet care is my main focus right now, so I can be available whenever you need me. This allows me to completely tailor my day around your pet, ensuring they get all my attention and their routine stays the same while you're away. I do not offer pet care in my own home. All of my services are provided in the pet owner's home, which I believe is the best environment for any animal. My priority is to ensure your pet remains comfortable and stress-free in their own familiar surroundings, with their routine completely uninterrupted. I take my responsibility to look after your home just as seriously as I do your pet. Having sat for dogs and cats all over the Dorset and Hampshire region, you can trust that I am a reliable and respectful presence in your personal space.

About: I have grown up around animals and have owned a variety. I’ve had the likes of dogs, hamsters and guinea pigs just to name a few. Most recently I have owned a pug and currently live with a golden retriever. I have a lot of knowledge about flat faced breeds and know how to best care for them. Equally I have a lot of knowledge around other breeds particularly smaller ones. I have looked after friends and my families dogs when they have gone away. I have the ability to go to their houses so that their dogs stay in their own environment that’s familiar. I have also had dogs come and stay with me too.

I have three beds in the house with room for their own bed if required. I have a fully enclosed garden with a 7ft fence. I also have an open field across the road and a woodlands the other side with running water. I will make sure to feed your dog as many times as needed throughout the time they are with me. There are two fresh water bowls throughout the house and one in the back garden as well so that there is always access to water. I usually keep my back door open throughout the summer time so that Olive (my friends dog) can go in and out when she pleases, as well as her swimming pool under the shade of a giant canopy. If you would like me to sit in your own home I will treat it with the upmost respect. I like to keep things clean and tidy and will leave your home as I came into it. Leave no trace.
