Dog Walking in Poole

About: We've been on the Rover app for two years now and have had experience in looking after a range of different dogs, all have been very positive visits. We have 3 young people who love dogs and will give extra attention and care for your dog. We're usually available from Friday evenings and over the weekends to look after your dog. Day time walks and overnight stays are welcome. We will also be available for some school holidays. We have a large front room and upstairs rooms where your dog will be welcome. We have a medium sized enclosed garden where your dog will have extra outside space to play.

“Anna-Lee stepped in at short notice to walk Ralph due to me being struck down with illness. Anna-Lee was easy to talk to friendly and asked all the right questions to fill me with confidence that Ralph would be well exercised and looked after. Ralph came back from his walk happy and relaxed. Thank you so much, I would highly recommend Anna-Lee!”

About: I have been a RSPCA volunteer since 2009. This means I am used to looking after a range of animals with different needs, behaviours and temperaments. Alongside this I have looked after neighbours, friends and colleagues pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, donkey, horses, guinea pigs, ferrets, tortoises, crested gecko, hamsters, chickens, fish and African land snails. I am very happy to look after any other pets you may have. I qualified as Registered Veterinary Nurse in July 2022. I would love to look after your pets! As a Registered Veterinary Nurse I am able to provide additional services whilst pet sitting such as: - Administer medication to your pets. - Provide care for diabetic pets. - Provide urinary assistance (bladder expressing and urinary catheter). - Assist with walking (using a sling). - Physiotherapy - passive range of motion, stretching and massage. So if your pet has unfortunately had surgery or treatment recently I may be the perfect sitter for your pet! I'm happy to discuss any requirements. I work full time as a Veterinary Nurse with variable free days where I am able to pet sit, do drop ins and dog walking. Please do get in touch even if I don't have availability incase I can still help. I can pet sit for a few hours/half day/full day/overnight. For the safety of any dogs I will be looking after I will not let them off the lead on walks unless it is completely secure field/pen. I will always keep an eye on your pet whilst in the garden. I look forward to looking after your pets!

“Melanie did a great job! I had such peace of mind being able to travel for work knowing she was giving him the attention he needed! And sent photos. Great communication. Thank you again Melanie”

About: I’ve grown up looking after my own dog and looking after friend’s dogs, so I’m very comfortable with different breeds and personalities. I adore animals, and always excited to have a companion for the day! I love hiking, making me a perfect match for dogs that need plenty of exercise and attention. As a university student, my schedule is flexible, with occasional lectures and a part-time role in a cafe. I love spending time outdoors and being around animals, so dog sitting works perfectly into my routine, and is a perfect opportunity for me to stretch my legs! I have no other animals in the house, and have a small, safe garden dogs. There is also a lovely park next to my house, and I have a car to take dogs to nice walking areas.

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and have had cockapoos in my family since 2012. I live close to my parents and regularly walk and look after their dogs Tilly and Kira. I have them to stay whilst my parents are away, so caring for dogs has always been part of my daily life. I am a go to for friends and family. My parents’ lovely dog Kira is a rescue and regularly shows behaviours including resource guarding, high prey drive, and reactivity, which has given me valuable knowledge and skills in managing different behaviours with patience, understanding, and positive handling techniques. I now have a home of my own with easy access to a secure garden, providing a safe and comfortable environment for dogs to relax and play. I have plenty of time, love, and attention to give, ensuring every dog feels happy, cared for, and at home. While I work as a busy solicitor, I have flexible free time on certain days when I work from home and at weekends, which allows me to offer reliable dog walking and boarding services. Your dog will be treated like family, with lots of care, exercise, and affection. Each week varies, but I’m usually available to care for your dog on a Monday, Wednesday and Thursday as these are the days I work from home, as well as some weekends. I have an open plan house with patio doors leading out to a small fenced and fully enclosed garden. On the days I am working from home, I will do this downstairs so that your pet has supervision and company at all times. They are welcome to relax on the sofa! At night, I would prefer if they are able to sleep downstairs alone however I can be flexible if they need to be with me.

About: I grew up with dogs and understand the need to leave your pooch in the hands of someone you trust. I would be happy to meet up before you put your dog in our care to see if we are the right fit for you and to talk through your dog’s routine/requirements. I work in education (DBS checked) so therefore have a lot of time in the holidays to look after your dog. I also work part time so can offer dog walks/drops ins on days I am off. I have 2 children who adore dogs so I could only offer our services to dogs who are good with children. We would only be able to care for small or medium sized dogs due to their ages. We have a secure garden to provide enrichment for your dog whilst they stay with us. We live close to some gorgeous parks and the beach so could provide some lovely long walks. I work part time so am available Mondays and Fridays and most weekends. We are an active family who enjoy long walks on the weekend so would love to have a dog join the fun. We provide a secure garden for your dog to have enrichment outdoors. We would listen carefully to your dog’s requirements and routine and will provide photos of your dog having lots of fun. We would prefer it if your dog would be happy to sleep downstairs.

“Sarah was perfect; on time, great communication and great with Arlo”

About: I believe every pet has their own personality — I adapt walks, playtime, and routines to match their comfort and energy level. Calm, confident handling: Whether it’s a shy rescue, a high-energy pup, or a senior with limitations, I know how to keep pets feeling safe and understood. Safety first: I’m attentive on walks, trained in pet first-aid basics, and mindful of potential hazards and triggers. Genuine connection: I treat every pet like they’re my own — building trust through patience, consistency, and plenty I currently working part time, and most of my spare time I spend with my little pomeranian, who is the friendliest dog ever, and definitely would benefit from contact with an another charming four-legged friend. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space free of hazards, toxic plants, and unsafe items. Pets have access to cozy rest areas, fresh water, enrichment toys, and safe outdoor time (if requested).

About: I have a little 9+ year old pug myself so have first hand experience with dogs. I’ve had other dogs in the past so experience handling multiple dogs at one time if needed. I work Mon-Fri, however have the flexibility to work from home several days a week so pet care can be provided during the day with notice. Fully available on evenings and weekends. I would prefer to pet sit at pet owners house. My garden is not fully secure. Caring for pets looks like providing walks, taking time to play/cuddle and generally being around to ensure the pets welfare.

About: Hi I’m Aimee, I would be a great person to love and look after your dog, in your absence. I love being outside and exploring nature and would love to be able to share my free time looking after your dog at the same time. I love long and short walks, whatever your dog can handle/enjoys. I am friendly, caring and very good at using my initiative, therefore you can count on me with your four legged companion. I also LOVE all dogs and am not biased to any particular breeds. I don’t have a dog of my own at the moment but it is definitely on the cards for the future. Whatever your reasons for finding a dog sitter I would be thrilled to share my time, and help you look after yours, for the period that you need. Looking forward to hearing from you, Aimee I am currently over from Australia to look after my mother after an operation, I have a lot of free time and would love to be there to help you out with pet sitting services. Really I will be your Your pet’s companion. I will give kind, patient, and reliable dog sitting services. Trustworthy care that can be tailored for you and your pet in the comfort of your own home.

“Charlotte met us beforehand and was professional throughout. She took good care of our dog, taking her down to the river and sending us pictures.”

“Tom is trustworthy and reliable, following our instructions to care for our spaniel, Hank, well. As a young dog he can be a handful but Tom gave us an update and looked after him well despite this. Thank you!”

About: I own a 3 year old springer spaniel and two cats! I have had her since she was a puppy so am great with puppies and know a few things about training. Love to get my steps so I will always make sure your pup gets a good walk. And I also understand the importance of mental stimulation. I work a part time job and go to university part time. I have a lot of time during the day and evenings and can always fit dog walks into my routine and visits. I will make sure that there is always trust between myself and the dog or cat. It’s so important they feel loved and safe. I also will take my time to make sure I develop a lovely bond with the pet in their own environment. And on walks making sure the dog is happy with the surroundings.

About: Loving and taking care of animals is something I’ve done my whole life. I do have a soft spot for seniors but absolutely love any time I get to spend with animals of any age. I am lucky enough to work from home full time so I can be with pets 24/7. I would love to have a companion for those long days at work. I have easy outside access and close to a few dog friendly parks. I’m happy to accommodate to any additional requirements you may have to make sure your pet is as safe and comfortable as possible.

“Jack & Oihane, were fantastic with our Alfie, Alfie really enjoyed his walks with them. They sent photos of his walks, and made sure we were aware of what they were doing and going. Really lovely couple, who really look after and cared for our Alfie, made us feel at ease knowing Alfie was being looked after, and having a fantastic time with them, highly recommend”

About: I've had my dog Rocky since he was a puppy and he's now 5. I've had dogs growing up and regularly looked after my Sister's dog and friends dogs. I work close to my home Monday to Friday for 5 hours each day during school hours so I will only be suitable for a dog who is happy being home for that amount of time. I would do walks before and after with my dog Rocky and I am home at weekends. I live with my nearly 11 year old twin girls who also love dogs and will also give your fur baby lots of attention. I have a fenced garden to keep your dog safe if they are staying with us. I send regular updates and photos so you can see how your dog is getting on. Let me know if you don't want me to share your dogs pictures on my profile.
