House Sitting New Forest

“I recently had the pleasure of having Laura care for my two French Bulldogs, and I cannot say enough good things about her! From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional and attentive to my pets' needs. During her stay, she kept me updated with regular photos and messages, showing how happy my dogs were. It was evident that she genuinely loves animals and provided them with plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles. My Frenchies were calm and content when I returned home, which speaks volumes about her exceptional care. Not only did she take excellent care of my dogs, but she also looked after my house impeccably. Everything was clean and tidy, and I felt relieved knowing that my home was in good hands. I highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a compassionate and responsible pet sitter. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”

“Christine was great, she looked after my two cane corso’s, one is a puppy and can be hard work. She kept me updated throughout and I could tell they loved their time with Christine by how sad they were after she had gone! The house was left spotless a lot more than when I left it (you didn’t have to). Would definitely recommend Christine your pets will be in good hands. Thank you!”

“Hannah is friendly and kind. She was gentle with our dog (he’s a bit timid around strangers) and had great communication throughout! Will highly recommend!”

“Alison helped us out at the last minute and we felt very relaxed leaving our senior dog with her. We returned to find he had spent the whole evening with Alison instead of spending time on our bed which he’s apt to do. This I think sums it up. Thank you so much Aii for looking after Thomas and allowing us to have a lovely evening.”

“Melissa agreed to look after Milo at short notice, at our home. Communication was great throughout the process. We wouldn't hesitate to use her dog sitting services again.”

“Hollie was great with Look Look! Hollie comes of as quiet and calm. She understood what needs to be done through the document we sent her and had taken care of Look Look well. I am sure her experience working in Southampton city farm also played a role. Her extended long stay discount is a bargain, we felt the need to tip her well as she even washed the sheets after her 5 nights stay with our dog! The house was kept clean and just like how we left it. The best proof of great service is when she left, the dog was still wanting to play with her and was sad that she is leaving. She truly loves animals and we will definitely recommend her.”

“Kate looked after Ozzy with so much love, care, and attention. It was clear from the start that she genuinely cares about animals, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such capable hands. Ozzy was happy, relaxed, and very well looked after when we returned. Kate also went above and beyond by watering our flowers during the heatwave, which was such a thoughtful and appreciated gesture. She is responsible, reliable, and kind, and we couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. We highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets.”

Holly T.

“We felt completely relaxed knowing our dog, Brew, was in good hands. Julie was easy to arrange with, communicated well before and during the stay, and was clearly very caring. Brew is already looking forward to having Julie come over again soon.”

Nerys W.

“Keighley recently looked after my two dogs for the day. We met before hand and they both took to her straight away. I also asked if she could take them to the local paddock which Keighley was happy to do. She updated me through the day and included photos which was lovely. Will definitely be booking Keighley again! Thank you for taking great care of my girls!”

Emily H.

“The dogs have a wonderful time with Hilary and her regular updates mean that I can travel feeling relaxed and unworried about them. I would recommend her unreservedly as a house and pet sitter and a lovely person to work with.”

About: I grew up surrounded by animals in my grandparents farm,where they had all sort of animals as dogs,cats,hens,rabbits and lambs!! I have a genuine love and respect for all animals so I decided to leave my old job and become a dog trainer. I have Level 3 dog trainer and now I'm studying Pet Dog Trainer Instructor Level 4. I've been walking all dogs breeds and puppies too for two years now and I use to have a quick bond with them. I'm starting my day around 9 am till 5 pm walking dogs at the moment,but I can always agreed with the client for the time that best suits them. I have a Level 2 pet first aid,so apart all the fun,feeding,walking,etc I'm qualified in case of an emergency. I can give them medication and I dealt even with seizures.

About: I've grown up with dogs and in turn my children have grown up with their own dog. After she passed we began pet sitting , now 2.5 years on with 20 5* reviews this is our way of life. We have experience from puppy to twilight years, and we are confident giving medication, grooming, and keeping your pets routine. I specialise in walkies ; the kids specialise in cuddles and playtime and Pete is the constant company whilst pet sitting as he works from home. As a family we will take care of your pet as our own. Your pets become one of the family, going everywhere suitable with us and recieving a lot of time and affection . We are early to rise to take care of the pets morning routine. We are active during the days, we love to walk and explore and later in the day love cosying up quietly for pet snuggles. We are a quiet family and provide a peaceful, stable environment. We love keeping routines. We are happy to walk dogs on or off lead, short or long walkies ! During 20 5* pet sits we have never had any incident or issues. We are Airbnb Superhosts of 9 years so you can be assured your house will be kept immaculate.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life 🐾 I grew up with larger breeds and now regularly care for my mum’s three Chihuahuas (one is a Chihuahua–Jack Russell cross!), so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Dogs have truly always been a huge part of my life. I have a strong understanding of dog behaviour. When I was younger, we had Boxer dogs, one of whom required professional training. I attended those training sessions, which taught me a lot about reading dog behaviour, respecting boundaries, and understanding when a dog needs space just as much as when they want attention, play, or cuddles. I also have experience administering oral medication and am more than happy to do this for your dog, as long as clear instructions are provided. I’m open to caring for dogs with special needs and would be happy to gain more experience in this area. If your dog does have special requirements, please let me know the details so I can ensure they receive the best possible care. ⭐️ Currently offering reduced fees as I’m new to this app ⭐️ I work nights but sometimes work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility during the day and evenings. As I’m self-employed, I can adjust my schedule when needed and plan my time around your pet’s routine. I’m reliable, organised, and always make your pet’s needs, comfort, and happiness my top priority 🐾 Whether that’s sticking to feeding times, walks, playtime, or quiet company, your pet will always come first. Home Visits & Walks • For safety, I keep dogs on the lead during walks if they don’t have reliable recall. If your dog has good recall and I’ve seen this first-hand, we can absolutely revisit this once I’ve gotten to know both you and your dog. An extendable lead is a great option so they can still have plenty of freedom to explore and run around parks. • I’ll always treat your home with care and leave it just as I found it, I will wash up after myself, take bins out and change bedding, making sure you come back to your home as it was. If your dog has an accident, I’ll happily clean it up — please provide cleaning products, just in case! • For home visits and overnight stays, I’m more than happy to care for multiple dogs. When it comes to walks, however, the safety and wellbeing of your pets, myself, and the public is my top priority. For this reason, I’m able to walk a maximum of three dogs at a time (or two at a time for large breeds). In multi-dog households with more than three dogs, walks will be done in separate groups to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. For example, four dogs would be walked as two at a time, and five dogs would be walked as three first, followed by the remaining two. • Communication is important, if I feel I need to contact you about your pet or your home, I will do so without hesitation. An additional contact number of a family member, neighbour or friend is preferred incase I am unable to get hold of you. • Clear instructions about your pet, their needs and quirks is essential to ensuring your furry family is comfortable and happy while their pet parent is away. • I’m more than happy to take pictures of your pet and send you regular updates while you are away! I want you to feel relaxed knowing your pet and your home is safe while you are away. • I have a car & drivers license and I’m happy to take your pets to a preferred area for walks or change in scenery, only dogs that are well-behaved in cars and will be happy to sit securely in the back of my car (for safety reasons), this is optional of course and only after I’ve got to know your pets. Small dogs only for car trips, and a maximum of three due to having a smaller car. ⸻ Boarding • I only take one small dog at a time, so your pet gets my full attention and a calm, relaxed stay. • Your dog should be house-trained (able to let me know when they need to go outside and not have regular accidents). • Dogs are very welcome on the furniture, as long as they’re up to date with flea treatment. • Dogs are also welcome to sleep on the bed. If you’d prefer they sleep in their own bed, please feel free to provide one so they feel comfortable and at home. • There won’t be any other dogs in my household during your dog’s stay. My family dogs live with my mum most of the time. I do have a bearded dragon, who stays safely in his vivarium and will not be let out during your dog’s stay. If your dog is sensitive to small animals, please let me know so I can ensure everything remains completely separated and stress-free for everyone. • As I live in a flat, quieter dogs are preferred to keep things comfortable for both your dog and my neighbours. • I also have a small, shared ground-floor balcony area that your dog can enjoy on a lead, I prefer to take them to the park across the road where they will have more to enjoy, but my ground-floor balcony is suitable for toilet breaks and fresh air.

“What a treasure! The perfect dogsitter, every which way. Sensible, caring, responsible and with a lovely sense of humour, I'm thrilled we've found Kirsty. Thank you SO much.”

About: For the past 10 years, I’ve been running a small dog rescue on my own land in Portugal, focused on rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs. Working with volunteers and local charities, we built a cage-free setup where dogs lived as part of a stable social group rather than in kennels. At any given time there were usually around 10 dogs living together. I was the primary caretaker, so managing a group of dogs and keeping things steady was just part of everyday life. I've cared for dogs of all sizes, ages and temperaments, including puppies, senior dogs, blind and deaf dogs, dogs with disabilities, dogs recovering from illness, and dogs who have been neglected. Behavioural issues are not a problem for me. My approach is calm, practical, and focused on reading each animal and responding to what they need in the moment. I am compassionate and gentle. As well as dogs, I’ve had cats and chickens my whole life, and I also have experience caring for horses, pigs, goats, and ducks. Animals have been at the centre of my life for many years, and I love caring for them. I’m currently in the UK for a few months while I prepare to get married and relocate back to Europe. I’m staying with friends during this time, which means I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Pet care fits easily into my routine at the moment, and I’m able to be fully present and reliable with bookings. I care for pets in their own home so they stay in a familiar, low-stress environment. I follow their routine closely, including feeding, walks, medication, and any specific needs. I’m experienced in quickly settling into different homes and maintaining a calm, structured presence. I’m respectful of the space, keep everything secure and clean, and provide clear regular updates. With over 10 years of rescue experience, I’m confident handling a wide range of temperaments, including dogs that need patience or close supervision.

About: I have previously worked in kennels and catteries, doggy daycare centres and have house sat for friends, family and clients now for a number of years, with up to 15 dogs sometimes in a house sit! Treating your pets as I would my own! I'm currently working part-time so have plenty of time to look after your pets! Availability can vary throughout each week, times and dates can be arranged which work for you. Safety, trust and environment are all very important factors to consider when looking after your furry friend! Any adaptations or training schedules you have in mind can be implemented and adhered to! With previous dog training work I understand how important this is.

“Hannah took such great care of our pups and our home while we were away for a week. She is very personable, easy to communicate with and insightful when it came to learning our pets’ needs. We really appreciated how she got to know each of our dogs and catered to them individually. She provided great updates when we checked in with her throughout the week! Our dogs loved her from the moment they met her! It was so great to have peace of mind while we were away. 10/10 would book with Hannah again!!”

“Aliya And Amir cared for our 22 month year-old cavapoo Ralf for two weeks. This was the first time leaving our dog while we went away and as first time dog parents were pretty nervous. We needn’t of worried, They were absolutely fantastic with Ralf and took such good care of him Ralf was genuinely sad to see them go watching out the windows as they drove away. I can tell that Ralf had a great time and they sent me regular updates as to how he was getting on. it was so reassuring and has left us feeling confident for future trips away. Communication before and during the trip away was brilliant, you can tell they genuinely care for your pets wellbeing. We hope they will always be available for future trips away as we can’t imagine using anybody else to look after Ralf. Many thanks again Aliya and Amir, Warm regards Siobhan, Ian and Ralf.”
