I am a hybrid worker and work from home a lot so can be flexible with times and dates of bookings. I like be flexible and adaptable. I like to allow pets to feel comfortable, and minimise any stress of their owners being away, I try to interact, and try stick to their routines as much as possible.

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: 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: 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: Hi, I'm Maddi and I am 31 years old and live in Stalbridge with my two boys, step son & daughter and my partner. I have Diesel, my 10 year old Cocker Spaniel, Delilah my 2 year old Minature Daschund and Diego my 1 year old Minature Daschund. I also have 4 cats Kitt, Ecco, Smudge and Clover. Oh and 4 chickens! If you haven't noticed, I am animal obsessed and my animals are a massive part of my family. Please feel free to ask me any questions! I would love to start with this full time but this will be depending on clients needs as unfortunately I have bills that need paying! I have a fenced large garden and I live close to fields and woodlands for some lovely dog walks. I also have a green opposite my home which is great for training.

About: Hello! I'm Jemima, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands on experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, and everything in between. Based all over the UK I offer trustworthy, compassionate pet care and housesitting services tailored to the needs of your animals and home. Whether you're heading away for the weekend or need regular help, I provide: Pet sitting & daily animal checks (feeding, grooming, companionship). Dog walking – local countryside walks for happy, well-exercised pups. House sitting – keeping your home secure and your pets loved while you’re away. Equine care – including rug changes, feeding, turnout, and general stable duties. I've grown up with animals all my life and currently train as an Equine Podiatrist, specialising in barefoot trimming for horses. My experience means I’m confident managing everything from energetic dogs to sensitive horses, and I always treat your animals as if they were my own. I’m based between Shaftesbury and Salisbury, and can cover surrounding villages and towns. 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.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, including Retrievers, labradors, Staffordshire bull terriers, beagles, cavapoos, cocker spaniels. I have successfully trained dogs with ease. I live with my partner Will who is also a dog lover, and our Cocker Spaniel. We have a big fenced garden and live near wonderful countryside walking areas. As we already have a Spaniel we are used to round the clock dog care. We both work from home so are able to be with the dogs. We have a big garden which is fenced and totally secure. We have a crate which can be assembled should the owner prefer their dog to be in a crate at any point. The dogs are happy sleeping in the kitchen overnight. No dogs are allowed upstairs or on the furniture, but we have plenty of comfy dog beds!

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 had multiple cats all my life so I am very confident with them. I have also had a Chihuahua for a few years so can handle little ankle biters 🤣 I work full time so can spend most nights either walking or sitting but need to leave some mornings as I would have work sometimes. When I do not have work the next day I can stay longer. My only purpose would be to look after your pet, I will not require any kitchen facilities as I would most likely bring my own food

“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.”

Kate F.

“A brilliant first booking with Sophie. Great communication, lovely photos with both of our boys having the best time. We have already booked Sophie for another few trips we have planned so would definitely recommend. Thank you :)”

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 worked in a pet shop for a short time, where I looked after; birds, hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas and kittens. I also have experience walking friends and family's dogs of various breeds. I have also have experience looking after and feeding cats. I am currently working 4 days a week, so I can care for your pets 1 day a week. I'm available at any time of the day. I am not offering pet sitting in my own home at this time. I look forward to being able to offer it in the future for your dogs & cats!
