“Camila is extremely welcoming and made me feel at ease straight away. She keeps me updated throughout the day with pictures and how my puppy is getting on. My puppy gets so excited when Camila opens the door which makes me feel comfortable leaving her!”


“I was very nervous about leaving my dog with a doggy day carer. However, I shouldn't have worried. We met Sophie before our session, Sophie and James were the perfect host, freddy seemed very chilled to be around them. On the day, Sophie sent us regular updates and photos, showing us all the fun they were having together. Freddy even got to meet a new friend. We are so pleased to have found Sophie. She is an absolute gem and freddy had a great time. We will definitely be back.”


“Incredible dog sitter. My first time leaving my puppy with a dog sitter and I absolutely couldn't be happier. I got sent regular updates and feedback throughout the day and when I picked my pup up she was happy and calm. I felt so reassured, Daisy will definitely be coming back for another visit. Thank you so much!”


“Sabrina was very friendly and provided updates whilst Max was in her care. Max looked like he had an amazing time with Sabrina and I’d definitely be using her services again and would highly recommend her!”

About: I have owned dogs as pets and working dogs since a child. All round dog care happily provided from long walks to playing with them in the garden. I work from home so am extremely flexible as to schedules and the dogs needs. Weekends are mainly free and I’m always up for a fun adventure with a dog or two. Safe secure garden to exercise and use with regular toilet breaks for dogs during the day. If the dog is happy to travel in my car I am easily able to take the dog to the beach or onto Talbot Heath.

“Mel and Dean were super friendly, very welcoming and relaxed. Our dog had a wonderful time with them for the couple of hours he was there. Would definitely recommend and use again if we were down in Dorset. Thank you!”


About: I have had dogs my whole life and have grown up in a family where we have taken care of other peoples dogs. I love pets and I am very confident in my ability to care for them. I am currently working part time in a bar on the weekends and so I have spare time in the week so it fits perfectly in to my schedule. I have a good sized garden and a spacious downstairs area where they can roam freely. I also live very close to a big park where I can take your pooch for walkies

About: 20 years experience of owning and loving dogs we have a lovely home and garden in a quite cul de sac for them to relax and play in safety. We have been looking after clients dogs for the past couple of years part time as well as taking on a rescue dog for end of life care last year. I am at home most of the time and able to provide one to one time with your treasured dog as well as play and interactive toys. I am retired and at home every day and my Husband is semi retired. Between us we are home and available to give our visitors the love and care that they need. We love to spend time interacting with our visitors so that they feel comfortable and loved - interactive play is essential and we enjoy seeing their response to this. Our house is set up with a dog flap and a secure garden. Our house is in a cul de sac and our dogs loved it here while they were with us.


“Thank you so much for having Bailey to stay yesterday Nicola. He had a lovely time. And we knew he was in safe, kind hands with you. He especially enjoyed your cool wood flooring on such a warm day! It was really nice of you to update us during the day and to know that he had settled in as it has been a good while since he last stayed.”


About: I have a 4 year old choc lab so have experience looking after a large, strong excitable dog. My previous choc lab was 14 when we lost him. I would be happy to look after a large dog but think a small dog would also be a treat. I work during the week so would only be available weekends & I don't drive so would be happy to drop in or walk your pet in & around my local area. I am flexible & happy to work round you. I would be guided by you entirely as to what your dog can & can't do, your preferences & would like to arrange a visit/walk prior to booking so we are all happy needs of your pet will be met. I am available for dog boarding or Doggy day care on both Saturdays & Sundays. We have some wonderful long walks in Hamworthy & Upton. I live in a house & have a fenced off back garden. Your dog will be treated as part of the family & will not be left unattended while in my care.

“Winston had the best time with Patrycja, her lovely family and of course Gaia! Winston loves being with people and playing with other dogs - he had such a great time that we literally had to drag him out with us. Patrycja made everything so easy and was more than accommodating.”


About: I'm a dog lover and have looked after dogs since I was a teenager and raised and trained my family dog. Now I have my own dog that I am training to become an assistance dog. As a result of that I have extensive dog training knowledge so if there is any assistance you want with dog training, just let me know and I am happy to help you out with that! I know how hard having a puppy can be so if you need some respite to have some me time or to go and get some jobs or self care time done it's a perfect opportunity to have your puppy looked after if you're anxious about leaving your dog alone. I work from home online just doing a couple of work meetings a week so your dog will pretty much have my full attention. I will make sure that they get lots of fuss, attention, enrichment and play time both with myself and with my dog who is very friendly to all humans and dogs. I will not being leaving the dogs at home alone at any point during your dogs stay so you don't have to worry about that! I have a back garden (not enclosed where I can take them out to the toilet and a sniff around. Depending on your wants/needs/length of time of dog sitting, I can take the dogs out on a walk at a nearby park but I wouldn't be letting your dog off lead for safety reasons. If you have any questions feel free to ask away and please give me as much information as possible about your dog so that I can provide the best care possible. I can also send you regular updates and pictures if you would like that! Depending on the day/time you book I can potentially pick up/drop off your dog for you. Looking forward to looking after your pup! I am very flexible, I work from home just doing short work meetings a couple of times a week which enables me to give the dogs the time and attention they need before a meeting so they tire out and sleep but they will have full attention evenings and weekends. I would care for your dog in my own flat, can provide training, play time, mental enrichment, walks and whatever else you need. Just ask!

About: We have owned our own dog (a Cavapoo called Ringo) for 7 years. He is a lovely, gentle, patient dog and an important part of our family. I work from home and would care for your pet with the same love and affection as I do my own. We have a good sized enclosed garden which your dog would have full access to, fresh drinking water, lots of cuddles and play time. I work from home Monday - Wednesday, so your pet would never be left on their own and would have constant access to our garden. My two young children are at home on Thursdays and Fridays, so we have less flexibility on those days. I have a secure, fenced garden which they would have full access to for toilet breaks, lots of play and exploring. Fresh water is always available, as are cuddles and lots of affection. They are also welcome to relax in our lounge and kitchen, wherever they are most comfortable.

About: I love dogs and have taken care of family and friends dogs over the years. I have a little cockapoo named Rascal who is 20 months old and he is an absolute joy who just wants to make friends with other dogs wherever we go. I have recently left office employment and taking some time out and decided that I would like to do something fun and flexible. As I have a cockapoo which is pretty much glued to my side I thought it would be a nice way to spend some time sitting for other dogs, dog walking and doggy play dates. I am fairly flexible with days and hours. I have a Cockapoo who is loving and playful. We have a nice size garden which is grassed and fenced so plenty of space for playing and running around. The sofa and chairs are covered so dogs are allowed to sit on furniture and have a cuddle if they wish, the floors are wooden so not precious about muddy paws. The kitchen area does have a child gate on if need to use a separate space.

About: I have been professionally dog walking and house sitting for 2 years now in Poole, Dorset. I have been fortunate enough to create an extensive client base and work with puppies from 8 weeks old to caring for senior dogs who require medication/rehab exercises. Due to my client base, I have been able to learn a vast amount of training techniques and the best ways to support and love for dogs who need a little more guidance getting through a nervous/timid phase, or helping with any reactiveness that may have been triggered from a past event or fear, or simply tending to a dog who is alone for the majority of the day and giving them the best couple hours of daycare so they can snooze whilst they wait for their humans to come home ☺️ I have so much love and time to give, so I figured I’d offer my services here so that on my days off I can spend time with more sweet pups! As I am a full time dog walker and sitter, I tend to keep to the same routine of daily walks so that I can fit in activities and hobbies around that - so I always know my availability and time for extra pet care. I live in a ground floor flat with private access, I have a small front garden directly outside of my front door. There is a large field 1 minute walk away on the other side of the road which is a stunning viewpoint of Brownsea Island and the harbour, this makes it very easy to give frequent loo breaks for your fury friend, and just down the hill is Poole Park and Whitecliff Park which is very highly rated from my regular pups which I care for. I do not have any pets of my own so my house is always an open, safe place for your animals.

“Lovely family. Couldn't do enough for Gizmo and he had a fab time. Booking again for next week. Highly recommended.”


Ashleigh A.
“I have known Ashleigh for over five years. We first became friendly thanks to her chocolate Labrador called Max who was a truly outstanding, well-adjusted and calm dog. When he passed Ashleigh purchased another chocolate Lab, called Satchmo. He's still very much a boisterous boy, however, Ashleigh can control him exceptionally well - through sheer love and attention. We have a very timid, reserved Spinone, who will not go or take treats from anyone other than my son, his owner. However, Ashleigh can take him into her home, walk him and care for him, if we have an emergency. We walk together with our two dogs as often as possible. As mentioned previously, Satchmo can be a handful, but not when Ashleigh is walking him. She has helped us so much with Gabi who hates walking. With her present, we're able to confidently go out on walks and get Gabi moving. Having seen Ashleigh not just with her dog but our dog and cats, I would have no hesitation in recommending Ashleigh 100% for Rover.”

Gemma T.
“Gemma has looked after our pooch Rae on many occasions including overnight and for weekend and week holidays! We always love the photos she sends and seeing Rae so happy on walks and enjoying cuddles at home while he stays with Gemma. She is always mindful of our feeding and routine with Rae and always makes sure we send everything he will need with him to keep him as happy as possible. Rae loves going to visit and stay with Gemma and always has the best time. Amazing home away from home setting!”
