About: I have experience of looking after cats (20+) years and have rescued 2 dogs, both of which had specific training needs. I can assist with small training needs as part of the walk or sitting period. I am retired, so able to be reactive. As long as I can schedule walks and sittings around my rescue dog Nick, then we'll both be happy. Currently I can only offer sittings at the clients premises. I will need to fully understand your pets needs, including food, exercise, entertainment etc. I try to ensure the experience is as normal for your pet as possible, to avoid any stress. I will also need to be introduced to your pet several times prior to the sitting, again to avoid stress.

About: Over the years I’ve had several dogs & cats who’ve added to my life. Having recently lost my own dog I miss the happiness & love that animals give unconditionally. I live in an apartment and am therefore unable to provide overnight accommodation in my own home however happy to provide overnight companionship for my clients fur babies in their own familiar surroundings. I currently work part time so will have plenty of time available on weekends to walk, feed, pet sit, and assist with your cat, dog requirements. Unfortunately my dog passed away recently. I reside in a rented apartment and am unable to offer accommodation to either cats or dogs my home

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs, I adopted a rescue pup 8 years ago who lives with my Dad. I miss him so much and would love to spread some love to some other cats and doggies in my area. I work as a freelancer so my work is online and I choose my hours, meaning I have lots of flexibility to add some extra joy into my days. I have experience with reactive dogs and while I can’t offer boarding in my own home, I find that animals are much more comfortable in their own homes and surrounding areas. If your dog is particularly reactive to new people, I am happy to set up a meeting beforehand in a neutral setting to get them familiar with me.

About: With wide experience of looking after a variety of dogs, I am comfortable with all sizes of dogs, I have completed work educational study in animal care and take pride in having a great experiences with animals and everyone enjoying a fun time , which is just as important to me :) I have owned dogs for many years and have experience with dogs medical needs as well. 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 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.

“Stephanie and her daughter are such lovely sitters! Our Dobby absolutely adores them both and always has the best time. Would use again and again in a heartbeat 🐾”

About: Hello! My name is Maddie. I am 19 and have a genuine love for animals. I grew up surrounded by various animals, such as dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, guinea pigs and fish. I have grown up and trained my pup, who is a collie / springer and now have another dog who is a staffy / bulldog, and have always had an open heart to every animal. No job is too big or too small. I am always motivated for a challenge. I have taken care of my dogs since a young age. Taking them on walks, playing games of ball, feeding them well and of course never forgetting lots of cuddles. Currently I am studying a uni course at Weymouth college, whilst working. However, I would like to start dog sitting to get more experience with animals, to have a good opportunity to go into the army as a dog handler. I will make time for your pets, just like mine. If they are shy / nervous / excited / outgoing , they will all be treated with the same patience and love. I am currently at uni two days a week and working 35 hours a week 3/4 days, however I’m still left with around 2/3 days and 2 evenings free to spend with puppers. I have a fenced off, big garden and two dogs that love to play and would get on well with your dog. I can easily make room for crates if needed and live next to a beautiful field and cliffs which are great for walks!

About: I’ve grown up around animals of all shapes and sizes (mainly dogs). I currently work for a local animal charity as an Animal Rescue Carer. I currently work from Sunday to Wednesday so would ideally be looking to provide dog walks on either a Thursday, Friday or Saturday for you. Due to always having dogs and now working with dogs, I know lots of lovely local dog walks that I can take your pooch too.

“Can't thank Lauren enough, she took Millie on lots of lovely long walks and even swims at the beach and coped really well when Millie can be a reactionary handful! Kept in touch daily to reassure us and gave Millie lots of cuddles and attention.Our pooch was very happy and misses her already! Will definitely book Lauren again.”
