House Sitting in North Dorset

“Holly was really great with Dexter! Dexter is often nervous of people he doesn't know in the house and Holly was great with giving him plenty of space and letting him come to her. It definitely made us feel very comfortable leaving Dexter with Holly and we would highly recommend!! Thanks so much Holly!”

“Absolutely the best dog sitter ! Not only did he take amazing care of both our dogs—making sure they were happy, healthy, and loved—but he also went above and beyond by tidying up the house before we got back. That was such a thoughtful touch and totally unexpected. It’s clear he genuinely cares. We came home to two very content pups and a spotless home. Can’t recommend him highly enough!”

“Hannah was excellent. She visited Meg and me before the sitting so I could explain Meg's needs and care and show Hannah around the house and garden. Hannah is obviously very experienced both in caring for dogs and assessing their needs and asked lots of questions about Meg's welfare. During the stay Hannah kept me fully updated with how Meg was getting on and also provided much appreciated photos. On leaving Hannah left the house very neat and tidy which was very kind. I arrived home to a happy dog. Thank you Hannah.”

“Judson did a great job with our dog Mason. We needed a last minute house sitter but would use Judson again. He gave regular communication and updates meaning we could enjoy our holiday abroad knowing our dog and home were safe. The house was kept clean and tidy and our dog mason seemed calm and relaxed when we got home. Thank you Judson”

“Imogen was an absolute gem! I’ve never left Dewi in my home with a sitter so was nervous. We had a lovely meet and greet prior to her week stay. She sent updates and photos everyday. I could see he was very happy! On my return he was obviously devoted to her! She left the house spotlessly clean. I recommend her highly!”

“Sarah looked after Rocco and our house for a week while we went on holiday, she was amazing, we got daily updates of how Rocco was and lots of photos of his adventures they went on which was lovely to see and make us feel relaxed knowing he was in safe hands and having lots of fun as he can be anxious! Our house was spotless too! Would highly recommend Sarah and would definitely use her again!”

Vicki S.

“We've never used a pet sitter that wasn't a friend so I was slightly anxious about the whole experience. I shouldn't have been at all worried. Geoff slotted into our dogs lives so much that the younger dog was actually bereft to have us come home!! Geoff was very good at communication and sending us videos and photos of them all having a blast. We have two Hungarian Vizslas who we call 'the ginger nutters'. One is elderly and has various supplements to keep her going and the younger one has some behavioural quirks which Geoff handled really well and with great grace. The younger one had to go to the vets for a lump that appeared just before we went away. Geoff very kindly took him and looked after him through the days we were away. I found Geoff to be kind, polite and very professional and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to anyone. His main priority is to look after the dogs and he did that in spades!”

“Cassidy was fabulous, we had a meet and greet a few weeks before the stay which was really helpful. While I was away she regularly kept me updated with great photos which meant I could enjoy my holiday safe in the knowledge my dogs were having a great time. This was particularly reassuring as one of my dogs is elderly and has a few additional needs, but he was clearly having fun! I came home to two very happy dogs and a clean and tidy house. I will definitely be using Cassidy again for my next trip 😊”

Lynne O.

“Callum was absolutely FANTASTIC!! Kept our minds as at peace, our animals were really relaxed and looked after well while we were away. Callum did a great job looking after not just the furries, also the house itself, we came home to clean rooms, everything tidy and taken care of! I can't say how much we appreciate everything you've done, Callum! Huge thank you!”

“Jemima was great. She was so friendly with our two rescues who can both be a bit nervous with strangers but they seemed to settle with her straight away. Our newest dog isn’t 100% toilet trained and she let us know that he had an accident when left. She sorted it straight away and took it in her stride which helped me feel less embarrassed. Thank you so much Jemima for house sitting so last minute too.”

About: My family had a boxer dog called Charlie before I was born until I was 6. My grandparents also had a dog until two years ago, who I walked and played with. My neighbour also would being their cocker-spaniel Poppy to our house a few weekends a year, for us to look after, including taking on regular walks, out to the toilet, etc. I would like to petsit a few weekends a year, probably once a month, and am happy to travel to a variety of places for this. I will ensure the safety of your pet at all times, ensuring I follow the instructions you provide to fulfil the individual needs of your pet. I have high attention to detail, and have worked in environments where responsibility and caring for others is of extreme importance (I worked in a nursery for 3 months over the summer 2021).

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!

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.

“Alex looked after our two dogs for two weeks. She communicated well beforehand and kept me updated while we were away. She’s clearly very comfortable with dogs and ours came back to us very relaxed and happy. Would have no hesitation recommending her and using her services again.”

“Sarah was amazing - ran with unintentional chaos like a pro, spoilt Bernie rotten and generally treated both of us like members of her family. Just the support system I needed and a great communicator. I'm pretty sure Bernie was deeply disappointed that she wasn't a permanent addition.”

Jennifer D.

“I would recommend Dan to anyone! Our boys loved him from the very beginning which is unusual for them! Felt very confident that the dogs would be absolutely fine with Dan, will 100% be contacting Dan again if we need a dog sitter!”

“Natasha was great to deal with.  Natasha arranged to visit us before the stay and took on board specific needs.   She was reliable, punctual and interested in Meg's welfare providing photos and regular updates.  Natasha looked after Meg very well and I arrived home to a very happy dog.  Thank you.”

About: Ive always been in an animal environment, growing up on a small holding and having dogs as part of the family unit. I've walked lots of dogs as part of my previous role as a carer which involved walking the customers companion. The daily dog walks were a lovely part of the role and gave the customer the reassurance their beloved pet was getting all the daily physical requirements as well as all the love they need. Lots of flexibility . I can usually provide services at short notice l. At home there are two young people 16, 9 but no pets at the current time I have a small front garden suitable for quick wee breaks and I'm close to amazing north Dorset countryside with some fantastic walks. The walks are varied depending on the dogs requirements for exercise.

“Ann was fantastic at looking after Wilson and Pip keeping us up to date throughout adding photos and reassurance which was lovely as this is the first time we have left Wilson. He is a bit OTT and Pip needs medication so we cant leave them with just anyone really pleased to find Ann and happy with the care she has provided. Ann kept the house really clean we wouldnt have known she stayed here- We have already booked in for the next time we go away. Thank you!”
