“Made a last minute booking as my previous sitter became unavailable. Very easy to work with, and my cat clearly loved her from the photos I received and how she acted when I came home. Absolutely would love to work with Nasima again.”


“Jen has been great. Such a help for me since going back to work. She's got to know both our dogs. 1 being extra lively and a 33kg 8month old puppy. I don't have to worry about them whilst I'm working now. Couldn't recommend her enough. X”


“I booked Tatjana with Rover last minute, having recently moved t the area. She came in advance to meet Pitchu with her husband who covers for her when she is unable to attend. They were both very friendly and looked after my old girl well during our 7 days away. I would recommend Tatjana.”


“We’ve never used a pet sitter before, but felt at ease when we met Doriana. She gave us regular updates each time she visited. Would definitely use Doriana again if we need a pet sitter.”


About: I have over 10 years of experience raising both a dog and a cat, and I've been surrounded by animals from a young age. My dog is well trained and very friendly. In addition to caring for my own pets, I regularly look after a French Bulldog named Sookie, providing anything from day care to overnight stays of four nights or more. As I work from home, I ensure the pets in my care get plenty of attention. I offer two long walks each day and keep them engaged through play and interaction. I also provide regular updates to owners, tailored to their specific preferences and needs. My approach to pet care is attentive, flexible, and personalised, ensuring that every animal is happy, safe, and comfortable while in my care. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to give the pets in my care plenty of attention and engagement. I ensure they receive two walks each day and keep them entertained and stimulated throughout the day, ensuring their physical and emotional needs are met. I live in a three-bedroom house with a large, securely fenced garden, providing plenty of room for pets to explore and play safely. I have a wide range of engaging toys to keep them entertained, and I ensure they receive two walks a day. Along with regular exercise, I offer lots of love, attention, and care to make sure they feel happy and comfortable during their stay.

Drop me a message and I'll be happy to help out, however is needed. I work a 35 hour week but on a seasonal contract so my availability is wide open from November to March.

About: I have a German Shepherd and a Chihuahua, so I am experienced in taking care of large and little dogs. I am more than happy to take care of any dog and my own dogs are very friendly. Any questions please feel free to message me. I am currently a university student in Manchester, but I’m in Portsmouth during the holidays where I live with my mum, dad, brother and sister who all love dogs. I am always home and am available any time, there is always someone around and the pets are never left alone. We have a reasonable sized garden, which is completely safe. Our kitchen is open plan so there is lots of space for the dogs to roam around.

About: I have had dogs in my life from when I was a child right up to recently when we had to say goodbye to our 14.5 year old, Ozzie. I miss having a dog around and would consider it a privilege to care for yours and to get some very much missed doggy love. My husband Phil will accompany on any overnight sits. I’m currently not working after returning from working abroad in France for the past few years so am available at short notice, I also have a car so can easily get to your home. I will look after your pet in your home and respect both and treat them with the utmost care and love. I am happy to follow all instructions that you leave.

About: Hiya, if your looking for someone who can look after your cute fluffy animal, I am the best in doing so; I have experience within looking after my own cats and taking dogs out on walks so I understand the responsibilities and concerns of taking care of beloved pets. I can fit your animals needs and keep them entertained during the day or walks. Moreover I can make any food requirements and dietary needs. I'm a university student, other than my lectures I will have full attention to your pets needs. Please let me know what day you need and I'll let you know if I'm busy with any lectures :) If I'm staying with your pet I will make sure they are fed dry food for the morning and wet food for the evenings size of animal will depend on the amount of food I give then as well if they any food requirements, dogs will be walk once a day and the animals will have my full attention thought the day such as brushing, playing, and leaning tricks.

About: I come from a family that loves animals with all our hearts. I really love spending time with dogs and have experience in taking care of them. My grandparents owns a lovely German shepherd and she is 5 years old. She is everything to all of us. They taught and showed me how to love animals since I was little. They had many pets before I was born and after I was born. I would love to find a cutie I can get outside with and take for walks. Please do teach me all the necessary things and I am always ready to learn new informations about cute furry friends. I’m currently a full time college student. I have classes Monday-Wednesday but if I don’t have many assessments to do I can be free after classes. Thursday-Sunday I’m free most of the time but sometimes things come up and can get busy. I’m a student so I don’t think I have the best environment for pets in my college dorm. So, I can care for pets in their own safe homes. As I am an international student, I am a very responsible person. I came to a foreign country all alone and I had to learn to be independent and responsible all the time. You can trust me and I will not let you down.

About: I take care of my family’s pets as well as working at a Pet Hospital as a Veterinary Care Assistant so I have experience in looking after them. I currently work full time but depending on my shifts and childcare I will be able to dog walk. As a single mum I have a couple nights free a week to be able to dog sit in your home. All I need to know is your pets normal schedule and what they eat, how much etc and I will go by their normal routine to keep them as comfortable as possible.

About: I have been around dogs from a very young age. I grew up around three Yorkshire Terriers and in my teens, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and a Tibetan Terrier, until they both passed away. I have also looked after a family member's dog, a French Bulldog, from when she was 6 months old until 3 years old when they moved away. During this time, I was able to teach her many tricks and my family member was always commenting on how much her behaviour was improving at home. I am currently only available at weekends. Please contact me even if it may be last minute and I will do my best to cater to your needs. I have a fully enclosed garden which is 6-foot walled and fenced and a gated front forecourt. All rooms have doors, and your dog will have access to all rooms in the house. For added security, the stairs will have gates on and there is plenty of room if your dog needs crating upon request. There is also plenty of room if a quiet space needs to be created for your dog. Dogs are allowed on the furniture creating a home away from home environment. The owners of the dogs I currently walk have given me keys to access their house so that when their dogs need walking, they do not have to worry about being available to let me in. My partner and son like to help out with the dogs I look after when they are not working or at college and there is more than likely someone always at home so your dog will always have company.

About: Hey there! First things first, I completely understand your hesitation about letting someone else care for your beloved companion. So, let me share a bit about myself. My name is Jessica, and I live in Portsmouth. Pets have been a cherished part of my life for as long as I can remember. Dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles—you name it! Back at my family home in Kent, we have two lovable dogs: Ruby, a sweet Staff X Lurcher, and Boomer, a unique Patadale X Chihuahua X Silver Lab (I know, it’s quite the delightful mix with a long story of its own!). I'm genuinely excited to offer my services because, at the moment, I can’t have a pet of my own. This way, I’m not only helping wonderful people like you but also getting my daily dose of cuteness and the chance to care for your pet just as much as you do! With a diploma in Animal Management, I have a good foundation of knowledge about various animals. I eagerly look forward to getting to know you and your precious companions! I currently work part-time remotely, which gives me plenty of precious time to spend with your gorgeous pets! I'm more than happy to drop in during the day or evening for check-ins and walks, or even stay overnight to care for your little ones! I have experience with a few different breeds of various sizes. I’m an enthusiastic walker, and since I don’t have outdoor space at the moment, I’d love to take your pup out for a walk or two! My flat is not just cozy; it’s a warm and welcoming haven for animals! Occasionally, my partner’s pups come over to stay the night, and they always seem so incredibly happy here!

“Samantha did a great hob looking after our pug and Frenchie. Followed all our instructions and sent some nice pictures so we could see they were happy at home. Highly recommended!”


About: I have been pet sitting for over a year now for dogs and cats, many people have booked me in for multiple times over this year and now will only book me as I have built trusting relationships and got to know their dogs so well. I have now been doing this professionally for a few months and it is now my full time job. I offer group walks and solo walks Monday to Friday 8am - 6pm and every other Saturday. I have a full time dog walking business and always try to accommodate owner and pets needs. I prefer to offer pet sitting in the clients own home to ensure there is minimal change to your pets routine. I ensure on meet and greets I obtain as much details about your pet and his/ her day to day routine as possible, to ensure your pets are relaxed and settled while you are away.

Maria G.

Taylah B.
“We cannot recommend Taylah from Tay’s Tails highly enough. Her genuine love for dogs is evident in everything she does, and it’s clear she treats every pet with the same care and compassion as if they were her own. Taylah is punctual, organised, and conducts herself with the utmost professionalism. Our dog Luna, a Belgian Malinois—a breed known for its strong-willed and dominant nature—can be a challenge even for experienced handlers. However, Taylah manages her with remarkable ease, confidence, and affection. Whether it’s dog walking or pet sitting, Taylah consistently delivers an exceptional standard of care. Luna adores her, and so do we. Knowing our dog is in such capable and loving hands gives us complete peace of mind. Taylah is truly outstanding at what she does, and we wouldn’t hesitate to call on her again.”
