House Sitting Poole

About: I have experience with anxious dogs, as well as more energetic ones. I like to play with them and give them attention whenever they want. I am working part-time so I have lots of free time to look after your dog/cat. I have a couple of days off a week, but I only work small shifts, so I am quite flexible. My family dog is quite anxious, so I have experience in calming him down and being able to distract him. I love to play with them and keep them entertained.

“We can’t thank Hannah enough for taking such wonderful care of Odie while we were away. He was looked after incredibly well, and it was so reassuring to receive daily updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind throughout our break away. Hannah also went the extra mile by watering our garden, which we really appreciated. When we returned home, everything was exactly as we had left it, which was another reflection of the care and respect Hannah showed for our home. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with Hannah again for our future holidays. Thank you so much, Hannah!”

“Roxanna was so wonderful to Baker! Baker is a nervous dog and she made him feel at home and ease. She took him on lots of walks and spent a lot of time with him. I also got a ton of pictures and videos which made it easier being away. Highly recommend Roxanna!!”

So blessed to have found her..”

About: I'm David, currently completing my professional dog trainer certification. I offer patient, structured care for dogs of all ages and temperaments — from energetic pups needing a good walk to older dogs who just want a calm, familiar face. My training background means I'm confident handling leash manners, basic obedience, and dogs who need a bit of extra structure or reassurance while their owners are away. Based in Poole, I treat every dog in my care like my own — with consistency, patience, and genuine attention. Monday to Thursday is when I'm most available for drop-ins. I also work night shifts on weekends, so I can fit in daytime visits before my shift starts on those days too. I keep a consistent schedule so your dog can rely on the same times and pace each visit, and I'm happy to discuss specific timing needs before booking to make sure it works for both of us. Your dog's safety is my top priority. I use secure leashes and harnesses, avoid off-lead situations unless explicitly agreed with you, and stay alert to other dogs, traffic, and wildlife on every walk. I'm currently completing professional dog trainer certification, which means I'm trained to read canine body language and step in early if a situation looks like it could escalate.

“Tuesday is just the best! My dog Coco felt comfortable with her from day 1, she listened to cocos needs and I felt so at ease whilst I went away for the weekend knowing coco was in safe hands . Would definitely recommend!”

About: I have grown up with dogs, specifically golden retrievers and labradors. However I have looked after small dogs, fluffy dogs, dogs heavier than me(!), dogs with high energy and ones that are perfect therapy dogs 😅🥰 But most importantly I love and care for them all the same way 💕💕 I currently have the summer off from work as I work in a school, so I am home 24/7. I’m very active and love to explore new places🥰🥰 I live in a bottom floor flat with our own entry, with a non-fenced garden. It is not near a main road. I’m happy to crate dogs if needed, or they can be out all day with me ☺️☺️

“Absolutely lovely.. Nia came over for an initial visit to meet us - on the day she turned up nice and early.. took charge and did regular updates. Our dog has had a recent operation and was in a cone and Nos was amazing . No hesitation in recommending her..”

“As soon as I met Elisabeth I knew straight away that I could 100% trust her with my puppy Dex - as he’s still young, he is cautious about being left with people when I’m not there, but he warmed to Elisabeth straight away. Thank you so much for looking after him while I went out for the evening, and hopefully see you again soon 🥰”

About: I provide calm, loving, and reliable care, treating every pet as if they were my own. I had the privilege of owning a beautiful Husky for three years, which gave me hands-on experience with an energetic, intelligent breed that thrives on exercise, routine, and companionship. Since then, I’ve looked after a variety of dogs through house sitting, including a Whippet, a Jack Russell, and, most recently, a wonderful Standard Poodle. I’ve also cared for a lovely cat, so I’m comfortable looking after both dogs and cats and adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I focus on providing plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and keeping to their usual routine, helping them feel safe, happy, and relaxed while you’re away. I work full-time Monday to Friday from 8am–4pm, with the flexibility to work from home on Thursdays and Fridays. This means I’m available for house sitting, drop-in visits, or daytime walks on those days. Outside of work, I’m happy to provide evening visits, overnight house sitting, and weekend care with a little advance notice. I’m reliable, caring, and will always treat your pets like they’re my own, making sure they receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. Whether you have a playful pup who loves walks or a cat who enjoys company and cuddles, I’d love to help and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in safe hands. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. As I provide care in your home, I’ll always follow your instructions to ensure your pet feels relaxed and secure in their familiar environment. I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet before any booking so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet’s routine, and make sure they’re comfortable with me. If you use a key safe or access code, I’m more than happy to use this, or you can let me know the best way to access your home. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), or simply keeping your pet company with plenty of cuddles, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry friend is happy and well looked after while you’re away.

About: My family had owned pets pretty much my whole life, from small animals like gerbils and budgies, to dogs and cats! As a somewhat paranoid pet owner myself, I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pets care to someone else, and as a result I aim to give the same standard of care as I would for my own pets. I am also able to provide care for birds. as I am at home from university over the summer period, I am very flexible in terms of when I am available to provide pet care. The care I provide can vary depending on the needs of your pet. I will ensure their environment is safe at all times, paying careful attention to any specific hazards or concerns you may have. And of course walking/feeding/playing.

“Shanice came and stayed at our house, looking after our two dogs for a couple of days. She was great with them and they were well looked after. Great communication from Shanice before the dates came, and whilst we were away. Would be happy to have Shanice look after our dogs again, and recommended her to others.”

About: I had a dog when I was growing up in Italy during my teenage years for 13 years. After that, I had two cats (who are basically my whole world), but they are currently in Italy with my parents. So I completely understand what it means to go on vacation and not have anyone to look after your little fur babies. And that’s where I come in. I will do my absolute best to make your pets feel at home, loved, cuddled, and give them all the attention and care they need. I work full-time in healthcare, so being responsible, organised and attentive comes naturally to me. Your pet’s wellbeing and your home will always be treated with respect. I am working 42 hours weekly in a nursing home in Branksome, doing 3 long days (7-19) and one half day every week (7-13 or 13-19). I live in a flat really close to the beach. I have no garden, but I’m happy to take your dog for a walk by the beach, run together, have fun and enjoy the sun.

“Chris has looked after Daisy twice, both times in our home. He was reliable, his communications were great and we had every confidence that Daisy was being well cared for. We would be very happy for him to come and sit again.”

About: Hi, I’m Kaya! I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. My background includes working at dog shelters, which has given me a strong understanding of different temperaments, behaviours, and individual needs. I offer reliable and attentive house sitting, providing your dog with consistent care in the comfort of their own home. I prioritise keeping their routine as normal as possible, whether that’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or simply companionship, so they feel safe and settled while you’re away. I understand how important trust is when leaving your home and pet in someone else’s care. I treat every dog as if they were my own and every home with the utmost respect. My aim is to ensure your dog feels happy, secure, and well cared for, giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I work from home and have flexible weekday availability. I can offer walking slots across lunchtime and afternoon, with some variation day to day, making it easy to fit around different dogs’ routines. At home I provide a calm, structured routine including regular walks, feeding, play, and rest. I make sure my dog has enrichment, companionship, and a safe environment, and I’m attentive to her behaviour, mood, and individual needs.

About: As a self-employed personal trainer and online fitness coach, I have a flexible schedule and lead an active lifestyle, so I'm able to give dogs plenty of time, attention and exercise throughout the day. I've grown up surrounded by dogs and have lots of family dogs, so caring for them has always been a big part of my life. My mum is also a professional dog walker and pet sitter, so I've seen first-hand the level of care, responsibility and attention that goes into looking after other people's pets. It's given me a great understanding of how important it is to keep dogs happy, safe and settled while their owners are away. I've also looked after dogs for family and friends, whether that's taking them for walks, keeping them company or caring for them in their own home. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I'll always tailor my care to suit their individual needs. I'm reliable, organised and respectful of both your home and your dog's routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your dog is in safe hands. I'm happy caring for dogs of different sizes and energy levels and will always follow any feeding instructions, medication schedules and walking routines provided. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, loved and well cared for from the moment we meet. As a self-employed personal trainer and online fitness coach, I have a flexible schedule which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. My days are a mix of working with clients, creating online coaching plans and training myself, but I’m able to plan my schedule around walks, drop-in visits and caring for pets in their own home. I enjoy being outdoors and staying active, so dog walks fit naturally into my routine. I’m am flexible with my availability for visits depending on your pet’s needs, and I’m happy to discuss their usual routine to make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet and home are in safe hands. When caring for pets in their own home, I will always respect their environment, routines and individual needs to help them feel comfortable and settled while you’re away. Before any booking, I like to learn about your pet’s personality, usual routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs and any specific requirements so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. I’m a reliable, organised and tidy person, and I will treat your home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully, keep your pet’s safety as my priority and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“From the moment Thomas arrived to meet Nova & Stella we knew that our babies would be more than comfortable with him. He made sure he was at our place spot on time as requested as we were leaving for the whole day, from the moment he entered the dogs were happy and comfortable. Throughout the day he kept us updated with picture and how the dogs behaved on their long walks. We couldn't be happier with Thomas and will have him look after our dogs whenever we need to head out again.”

“Lucy was kind, super calm and handled our 7 month cockapoo brilliantly. She followed our instructions and put us at ease. Will definitely be using again and would highly recommend.”
