About: I have a huge amount of experience with dogs, cats and countryside animals. I have a big, friendly, lab cross of my own and have cared for everything from a whippet to a malamute cross. Coming from the countryside and being ex-military I am more than happy to be out come rain or shine and can always be counted on. I place high value on enrichment and positive reinforcement having seen the amazing results and truly believe that every dog has a unique set of traits and needs that deserve to be met. I have an abundance of patience, understanding and care that I can’t wait to show your dog. Since I have my own dog pet care is intrinsic to my daily life. I work most Tuesdays and every other weekend but am very flexible. Knowing their routine, likes and dislikes are key to caring for a pet in their own home to make it as least stressful as possible. I would like to meet first for a free initial consultation to make sure we’re a good fit and to get the low down on how you would like me to care for your pet.

About: Experienced pet sitter of nearly 10 years. Leaving your pet is always difficult but they will be in good hands and have a mini holiday of their own! I’ve looked after all sorts of adorable pets from rabbits to horses and everything in between in flats, houses and farms and for the stars . I have two dogs of my own, and have an experience looking after nervous and reactive dogs and always ensure I follow owner’s instructions and what’s best for the animal (i.e. if space is needed around people or other dogs). Age of the animal isn’t a problem and I’m happy and experienced looking after young to old! They will always get love and attention and plenty of play time. I will always send photos and updates to the owner too. I currently work 9-5 Monday to Friday from home with only 1 week day in the office, I’m home on the weekends so plenty of time to help out. I have two dogs with my family at home. I will stick to your animals needs as much as possible so there is little disruption to their normal routine. Walking, feeding, sleep and play time. When booking, please make sure all instructions and schedules are provided so I can match it as close as possible.

“Very lovely would really recommend, sent lots of updates and took some of their own stuff for my cat so she had regular fresh water. Would definitely book again in the future x”

About: Animal Lover & Experienced Pet Carer – Your Pets Are Family to Me! Hi there! I’m absolutely obsessed with animals and have shared my life with my lovely dog, Blue, for the past 6 years. Looking after pets isn’t just something I do – it’s something I genuinely care about. I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for a wide range of dogs through Rover, offering daily walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of love. I’ve also looked after my parents’ Labrador for extended periods while they were on holiday, so I’m confident caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated as if they were my own – with kindness, patience and plenty of attention. **Why Choose Me?** 🐾 I’m reliable, responsive and genuinely love building bonds with the animals I care for. 🐾 I’m experienced with both dogs and cats and always take the time to understand their unique needs and quirks. 🐾 I’ll meet your pet while you're home first to build trust and help them feel comfortable before any solo walks or visits. 🐾 I know how to read animals’ body language and always adjust my approach to help them feel calm and safe. Whether your pet needs a quick visit for cuddles and a toilet break, or a longer walk for exercise and fun, I’ll make sure they’re well looked after. I’ll also ensure they have fresh water, comfort, and a bit of entertainment if needed – I even leave the TV on for my own dog :-) Looking forward to meeting your furry friend soon! 🐶🐱💛 I work from home so have plenty of time to give attention to your dog and take them out for walks. I take my dog Blue out for two walks a day. My partner is around for evening and weekend walks, we have a great big field near us for walks during the day and like to go all over the place on weekends and evenings. I would meet your dog or cat while you are home and build up a relationship before taking them on their first walk/meet. I know how to read them and when they are uncomfortable so will make sure to do everything to make them comfortable.

About: My love of dogs started when I was a child, I grew up with golden retrievers and ever since dogs have been a massive part of my life. I have walked and looked after dogs for a long time. It was when I was nannying in London and walking the families dog that I realised that I needed to do this full time. I was fully responsible for every aspect of her care, from feeding, washing, grooming and administering her prescriptions. I have dog walkers insurance and a clean and up to date DBS. I am also booked in to do a dog first aid course. I'm very excited to hear from you and meet all your wonderful dogs! I am currently starting up as a professional dog walker and boarder so all my time can be dedicated to looking after and walking dogs. I live in a converted chapel in the middle of the countryside. I have a multitude of wonderful country walks for your fur babies to enjoy. Inside my house the dogs are free to roam as they please. If crate trying is preferred, then this can be accommodated. My aim is for my home to their home for as long as they are with me. I aim to make their experience as enjoyable as possible.

About: I have always had animals in my life, having my first responsibility for animal care at the age of 9 when I was lucky enough to loan a pony, this gave me a fundamental understanding of the love and care animals need and I have continued my love for providing happy and fulfilling lives for pets since then. I have lived in the same small village since the age of 10 where I now help my elderly neighbours with the weekly dog walking when they need me. I have owned and cared for my pets through each stage of their life, meeting their additional care needs through the later stages of their life providing them with the most comfortable experience possible. Toby (my partner) who often accompanies me on house sits so that we are able to balance working and caring for your pets to the best standard between us, has also had a lifetime of experience with pets. We currently have two cats together that we both equally adore. Both me and Toby are currently working and studying part time so between us we have lots of time to play and fuss over your pets. We aim to prioritise your pets usual daily routine to provide them with the most comfortable experience with me. I will keep your pets company, providing lots of attention whilst keeping up their required exercise.

About: With over 8 years of caring for dogs, and currently sharing my home with three furry friends, I understand firsthand the joy and responsibility that comes with pet care. I treat every dog like family, offering personalized attention, plenty of love, and a safe, happy environment. Whether it’s energetic playtime or quiet cuddles, I tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs, because every pup deserves a sitter who truly gets them Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily life. Having grown up with dogs and currently caring for three of my own, I’m deeply familiar with their routines, needs, and personalities. Every day, I dedicate time to exercise, play, and cuddle with dogs, ensuring they get plenty of physical activity and emotional attention. Whether it’s a quick walk, a long play session, or just some calm downtime, I prioritize their well-being and happiness throughout the week. I’m flexible and committed to fitting pet care seamlessly around my schedule to provide consistent, loving, and reliable support to every dog I look after When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where dogs feel relaxed and happy. I provide regular meals, plenty of exercise, and lots of affection tailored to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I maintain a clean space with secure areas for rest and play, and I monitor their health and behavior closely to ensure they’re comfortable and stress-free. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their familiar surroundings and routines, helping them stay comfortable and secure. I follow all the owner’s instructions carefully, from feeding schedules to medication, and give them plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. My goal is to make both pets and their owners feel confident and at ease with the care I provide.

About: As a self-employed enthusiast working from the comfort of my home, I'm thrilled to offer flexible dog-sitting and dog walking services. Having grown up surrounded by pets and entrusted by friends and family to care for their furry companions, I am very comfortable around various animals and have an overall love for them. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily and weekly routine due to the flexibility of my self-employment and work-from-home setup. This unique arrangement allows me to dedicate substantial time and attention to the well-being of pets under my care. My active lifestyle, which includes a love for walking and running, naturally aligns with the exercise needs of furry companions. Having been immersed in the company of animals since a young age, I have deep understanding and familiarity with the care of various species, including dogs, cats, and rabbits. Growing up in an environment where pets were an integral part of the family, I developed a keen sense of responsibility and compassion towards their well-being.

Dog walking – local countryside walks for happy, well-exercised pups. House sitting – keeping your home secure and your pets loved while you’re away.

I’m based between Shaftesbury and Salisbury, and can cover all around Wiltshire, Somerset, Hampshire and Dorset. If you have any questions, please just drop me a message and I will get back to you :) I am training to become an Equine Podiatrist so i am at home every day of the week, either studying or looking after animals. I have my own car to travel around in. Dogs will sleep in their own beds in the kitchen and hallway with access to water and to keep warm or cool. When house sitting, I will listen to the owners' needs and where the animals usually sleep, including if they like to sleep on the bed with you :) I will stick to the animals' routine to make them feel as comfortable as possible.

“A big thank you to Alexandra, who stepped in at very late notice, and came out to visit beforehand, despite only being booked for one visit. It really put my mind at ease.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and just love being with them! I’ve done periods of dog training with a springer spaniel including, heel practice, distraction techniques, agility and obedience. Growing up as a family we’ve had a Shetland pony, horse, goats, guinea pigs, cats and rabbits. Most recently on my sits I will ask if there’s any specific that needs to be maintained over the sit, for example I maintained a structure of training for a rescue I was looking after. My work schedule is incredibly flexible so I can offer a variety of slots and availability but it’s hard to list this via the app. Please message for specifics, my office also allows for dogs to come to work so if that’s something you would be interested in then that’s a possibility! I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! 🐾🐾 My working schedule is: Monday 5:30-11pm Tuesday 11-3 (working from home) 3-11pm (office) Wednesday 9-5pm (office) Thursday (working from home) And my work is very flexible so I can rearrange where needed to suit! I would be looking after in the owners home, I would understand how the owner cares for their dog and the games/ play they have and ensure to keep this to a similar care. Ensuring time for lots of play & cuddles!

“Ann is a lovely lady who clearly has a caring way with animals. Ann looked after our cat & home with love and respect and we will definitely book her again ?”

I look forward to being able to offer it in the future for your dogs & cats!

About: I have done light pet services, dog walking from pomeranian to German shepherd for family members. I have always loved dogs and always wanted one but never have due to work/commitments. I would always enjoy visiting family to play and play with dogs, I am available on weekends for dog walking but would consider looking to open up to more services upon gaining more experience. I'm available at weekends at the moment but may be more available as time goes on, only looking into dog walking for now but may expand over time. I won't be offering a boarding service only walking for now but would be willing to expand once I have gained more experience after starting off.

About: I have worked for a Dog boarding/walking service in the past and I had revived great reviews. I have also had family pets my whole life. I have trained Doug’s in the past and I have also I walked and done drop in visits with dog that have behaviours.

I am currently in the process of changing jobs to a Monday-Friday hoover and these hours will be 8-4 I will become more flexible when this happens but as of right now I work Al weird and wonderful hours. In my previous job, I enjoyed using the owners home as I felt as if the pets I were looking after felt more comfortable. My jobs require e you have a DBS that can be shown on request.
