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!”

“Elena was such a blessing! We were let down by a sitter, and Elena arrived last minute, happy to take on the challenge. She was understanding, kept constant communication with us and took our dog out on so many adventures - He probably misses her more than he missed us on holiday! She even went the extra mile to ensure the house was left in a lovely condition when we returned. Elena listened to everything we asked and even fed our little fish on our behalf. She was easy going, friendly, transparent and knowledgeable when caring for our large german shephard X Doberman rescue. We will definitely be working with Elena again in the future! Thank you!!”

“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!”

About: An animal lover through and through, with a soft spot for woofers! I’ve taken care of family, friends and friends-of-friends dogs for the last 15 years. From holiday stays, house sitting to popping in and walking. I work from home and have a very dog friendly setup so your furry friend will feel like they’re right at home! With a large secure garden, gorgeous forest walks right on our doorstep and lots of love and attention. I have some experience with dogs with epilepsy and certain medications - if you have any questions please reach out. I work from home, with one day a week in the office. I live an active lifestyle with lots of forest walks on our doorstep and just a short drive from the beach. Whether your fur baby is an energetic ball of fun or a chilled older dude, I will tailor their experience to each pup! I live on a substantial plot with lots of space for your pup to run around or lay on the grass! My garden is fully secure and 360’ fenced. And puppies and dogs requiring crate sleeping also fine! All welcome in our dog loving home in the forest. 🐾

About: I love pets more than anything and I would really love to have my own but unfortunately my working schedule wouldn’t allow me to, that’s why I am happy to help out other people here instead :) I am currently working full-time Mon-Fri 7.30am to 3pm and I have some weekends off. I am happy to do house sitting for a few days during the week as long as your pet can stay unsupervised while I’m at work. I live in a flat building but I have a lovely front garden where we can play. I also live very close to common park where I usually go for walks in my free time.

“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.”

About: I’ve had family dogs the majority of my life, a Lab, Holly and a German Shepard, Zoe and more recently a Lab called Hugo. Hugo is not only a family dog but he is a gold award school therapy dog which I have a hand in training since he was a pup and now I continue to work with him in a school and home environment; teaching new drinks, obedience and therapy skills. In between having Hugo and Holly, I supported a family with two dogs with boarding, walking sitting services for multiple years. I enjoy looking after all types & ages of dogs & animals! I’m currently working part time on a casual basis as a teaching assistant in the afternoon-evening therefore able to do weekends mainly but if needed and I’m available I can do weekdays! My whole weekend is clear for you to ensure reliable care for your pet. I aspire to make this into my own business where i can house sit, do daily drop ins, pet taxi to appointments, walking and house cleaning and more, all within one service :) I will listen to your schedule and routine you have for your pup. If they need to be walked or fed at a certain time, I will do so. I can take them out and treat them, I can communicate regular updates on their well being and activities to give you a piece of mind! I can do light cleaning around your home to support you on your return from your trips or outings.

“Ali was professional and reliable and came before to meet the dogs and learn about them. She was very considerate of the dogs needs and they were clearly very relaxed in her presence which is unusual and great to see. She gave me feedback how the dogs were doing during the day which was appreciated! Would book again!”

“Hannah did great with our German Shepherd! He is blind and needs medication. He can also be a bit of a handful on a walk. But she handled all of this with no problems at all. Very good communication all the way through, and the house was left spotless. Would definitely recommend!”

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.

“We had a fantastic experience with Hilary looking after Archie and Nixie. We received regular updates, and her communication was excellent throughout. Our dogs felt immediately at ease with her, which gave us great peace of mind. We would definitely engage Hillary again when needed.”

“I love it when Kate comes to look after me. Mummy and Daddy say that I’m the most special border terrier in the whole world, and they are really picky about who cares for me. They call me their baby! Kate takes me on walks across the fields to the beach and the forest. I am a very social creature so I love it when she takes me around the village and lets me sniff everything and find out what’s going on in the doggie world. Kate makes up really fun games for us to play, especially when it is really hot and I can’t be out for too long. Keeps me from getting bored, as I am a very clever boy! She takes photos of all the fun things we do and sends them to Mummy and Daddy. I love her so much that I smile for the camera. Yes, really! Just take a look at her photos. You know what? Kate cleans up the house before she leaves, even places where I haven’t shed my fur, and that’s a lot of places because I am allowed on the furniture. I told you Mummy and Daddy spoil me. The only thing they don’t do is give me enough treats. I keep telling Kate that it’s okay to give me more and Mummy and Daddy won’t know, but she must be scared of them because she doesn’t. Kate has looked after me twice and I am so excited because she is coming back two more times. I wag myself in half when I see her and can’t wait for all the cuddles and the fun we are going to have.”

About: I've been looking after dogs for over a decade and every pet is loved as if they were my own and all their individual needs are well taken care of. I work full-time during the week but work from home for 3 hours to 5 days, any free time will be dedicated to looking after your pet and if I'm in the office I can put home at lunch times and they'll never be left without a break for more than 4 hours I have a well-fenced garden and I live in the New Forest so there's plenty of space for walks, dogs have free run of my home but I will care for them how they are accustomed to with you and will stick to your routine

“Keyleigh was amazing from start to finish. Betty loved Keyleigh as soon as she met her on the house visit. Keyleigh listened to us, and made us feel at ease. Whilst we were away there was clear communication which made us trust Keyleigh and we could enjoy our holiday knowing Betty was in safe hands. In the future I will definitely be asking Keyleigh to look after Betty.”

“Aliya and Amir were the completely perfect sitters, they were communicative both before and during the sit. My dog is 'special' in so many ways and they understood and dealt easily with all his quirks. The house was left in a great condition. I wouldn't have even a moments hesitation in inviting them back. Thank you Aliya and Amir.”

“Inga seemed really sad on the day of our departure on a long planned trip but was overjoyed when John arrived, which eased our anxieties a great deal. John explored far and wide with her and sent photos and videos of their exploits. We were in North America and the time difference meant we woke up to the updates and really looked forward to them. John took Inga to places he could safely let her off the lead and she responded very well. As a 10 month old puppy we'd had patchy success with recall training so far but John has done a lot in the last couple of weeks. John has also been able to advise about leads and harnesses to suit Inga who is very strong and determined when she chooses. We value his knowledge and experience and Inga and he clearly have a very strong bond.”

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 regularly look after my friends dog when she goes to work making sure that her dog is well looked after. I have a lot of free time at the moment being in between jobs so am very flexible with my availability. I will work around what’s best for you and your pet. I will care for your pet as if it was my own. At my house dogs are allowed on the furniture and on the beds so they can have a proper cuddle. 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.

“Booked Mea & John last minute for a few hours to look after the 3 pups. Very responsive and came over to meet the dogs beforehand. They loved Mea when she arrived and were happy to have her sit with them for the 4 hours. 2 of the pups are finicky and were absolutely fine with Mea on the night. Communication was great and I would happily use Mea again.”

About: I have offered dog walking and pet sitting services for over 7 years. I recognise the anxiety that comes with trusting another person to care for your animals, and I always treat every pet as if it was my own! 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.

“Hannah was absolutely wonderful dog sitting our two pups! She came for a meet and greet and was receptive of absolutely everything! She went above and beyond for our dogs while we were away. We came home to a spotless condo and very happy pups. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We love Hannah!!”
