About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, I currently have two— a German Shepherd which I raised from a puppy and a Romanian Rescue—which I’ve had for 3 and 2 years. I am skilled in feeding, grooming, and maintaining a clean and safe environment. I prioritise their socialisation and make sure they are walked at least twice a day whenever possible, maintaining their health, happiness, and overall well-being. I’m currently working a part time job from Friday evening to Sunday. However any other days I have full availability and can dedicate my time entirely to caring for your pet. I am available every day from now until 20th - 29th August, and after these dates, my schedule will remain fully open apart from Friday to Sunday, allowing me to provide consistent, reliable and loving care whenever it’s needed. Safety - If walking dogs i'd ensure that the harness is well fitted, and the leash is secured to prevent the dog escaping during a walk. - I’d provide multiple and all round water breaks/ ensuring water bowl is full at all times, and provide shaded/ cool areas to keep cool. - I’d ensure to keep an eye on the pets to ensure if there’s any signs of illness, injuries and any distress and if there’s is I’d ensure to immediately report to the owner/s. Trust - I’d ensure to keep all owners in constant communication by sending photos, any updates, or videos during visits or dog walks. - I'd always make sure to always follow any instructions left by the pet owners like keeping to their regular routines, keeping to their pets food dietary plans. - I'd also ensure to treat the pet owners home with respect and respecting their items within the home, id also treat the pet with care and leave any space used clean if a mess was made. Environmental - I'd ensure the pet owners home or walking area is free from any harmful hazards like broken glass, sharp objects or anything that could potentially cause harm. - When doing dog walks I ensure to choose a walk route with the best interest of the dog whether the dog is nervous of traffic or loud noises. I'd always put the dogs well-being first and always go to a park the dog knows and is comfortable being at. - I'd ensure that all dogs (if exempt) is allowed a chance to socialise and interact with other owners or dogs during walks only when appropriate. - I'd ensure any waste from the pet whether it be on dog walks or at home, all waste would be properly cleaned and disposed of.

About: I have had animals all my life. Dogs, cats, rabbits, rats and everything in between. I have always been passionate about looking after animals and finally have an opportunity to do something with it. Whilst I have no professional experiance, I have a lifetime of personal experiance looking after my own pets and those of friends and family. I have a Level 2 in Animal Care and I'm currently working through a diploma in Pet Sitting and Dog Walking I'm not currently working so I have full availability across the week. Ideally I would love to turn this into a 9-5 Monday to Friday role with limited availability for evenings and weekends. Eventually I will be looking at a boarding liscence as well. At first I wont be offering care at my own home. So I will be looking after your pets in the comfort of their own space. Dog walks will only be off lead with permission and with good recall/no aggression. I will only walk 2-3 dogs at a time and will offer solo walks for dogs who need to be walked alone. Walks will be an hour long except in the Summer when walks will either be shorter or swapped with a home visit. Home visits can be once or twice a day as needed. Unless requested for Pet Sitting service

“Nasima made everything so easy to arrange abs was completely unfazed by anything. My two cats obviously felt very relaxed and happy around her which made being away much easier. I would definitely recommend Nasima and if I have to leave then again I would definitely seek to have Nasima as their sitter again.”

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.

“Zuzanna was amazing with our little Peanut! She played with him and gave lots of cuddles. You could tell that Peanut was very comfortable with her and that Zuzanna loves animals. 100% recommend!”

About: I’m always the one asked to dog or cat sit! I absolutely love doing it and getting to know the pets. I do sometimes think I’m a dog whisperer as I seem to know what they want or are thinking. I provide lots of cuddles and plenty of play. I have experience looking after both large and small dogs. I have also looked after multiple dogs at once, meeting each of their specific needs. I have experience with nervous and anxious dogs too, adapting the dog walk to suit the dog. I currently work in hospitality but I’m able to be flexible with my days and shifts. I love going out for walks so a little dog to join me would be fab. This gives me the best of both worlds as I sometimes travel so having a pet isn’t suitable for me full time. I have a fenced garden and plenty of parks to offer a well deserved play outside. I enjoy caring for pets in their own home and getting to know their home comforts and routine.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for them. I’ve recently set up my own dog walking and pet care business, The Harbour Dog Co, where I offer dog walking, pet sitting, cat visits, and puppy visits. I’m confident caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to more nervous or senior pets. I’ve also looked after cats for friends, family, and clients, including feeding, litter care, and providing calm companionship while owners are away. I’m also pet first aid trained, and I pride myself on being reliable, calm, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, always prioritising safety, routine, and making sure every pet feels comfortable and happy. I run my own dog walking and pet care business, so I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and weekends, and I always aim to work around your pet’s usual routine. I care for pets in their own home environment, helping them feel comfortable by sticking to their usual routine as closely as possible. I take the time to build trust with each pet and understand their individual needs, whether that’s exercise, playtime, or calm companionship. I am pet first aid trained and always prioritise safety, keeping a close eye on behaviour and wellbeing at all times. I treat every pet with the same care and attention as if they were my own. I also provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.

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 work full time remotely now, which means I’m home all day and able to give your pets loads of attention and company. I can pop in during the day or evening for check-ins and walks, and I’m also happy to stay overnight if you need someone to look after your little ones. I’ve looked after lots of different breeds in all shapes and sizes. I love getting out for walks and I’m always happy to take your pup out for some fresh air, exercise and attention. I’m confident with all temperaments and ages and I make sure every dog feels relaxed, safe and understood. I’ve also helped care for my husband’s family dogs over the years, including raising their puppies, so I’m very used to different routines and needs. Your pup will be in loving, reliable hands with me.

About: (Georgia) I have both had pet dogs, cats and many other animals my whole life. I have been very fortunate to experience long living dogs and cats (16+), therefore have experience with puppies / kittens and elderly animals. Not only was I involved with their pet care and giving them all my love, I also have experience dog sitting on Rover and for family friends, including puppies, adult dogs and cats. I would love to continue doing this and show the same care for your animals. (Thalia) I have dogs and have had many other animals previously! One of my dogs has had a spinal injury so I am experienced in giving medication and caring for specific needs. I have experience on Rover and am trusted to look after all family and friends’ dogs! We love going on walks, even better with a dog to come along! We can both be very flexible and are looking for day sits, and longer sits! At the moment, I am at University on Thursdays. The rest of the time I am free for day care and walks! I am hoping to have regular sits a couple days a week. I am available to board in the pets home! If at the pet owners home, instructions for the pets normal routine/boundaries would be useful to ensure little disruption and maintain full safety to you and your pet.

About: I provide calm, reliable care with a strong focus on routine, safety, and clear communication. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages and temperaments, including those who are nervous, older, or used to structured routines. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I’m able to provide consistent, reliable care during weekdays and weekends. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure dogs receive proper walks, feeding, attention, and rest, rather than being rushed or left alone for long periods. I take safety and trust very seriously. I follow all care instructions closely, keep dogs secure at all times, and maintain a calm, controlled environment. I’m attentive to behaviour, routines, and any signs of stress, and I provide regular updates so owners feel confident their dog is safe and well cared for.

About: We've had dogs in the family since I was a baby. We've had Newfoundlands, Alsatians, Cockerpoos, Staffies and Labs to name a few. I've looked after my own, friends and neighbours pets over the years. Whether whilst on holiday or just popping in to keep them company and make sure they have fresh water and food down whilst they're at work. I did the Duke of Edinburgh award many moons ago but did 3 months at a vets and learnt a lot. I also studied animal management at South downs College, looking after a range of animals and did a 1 month placement on a dairy farm in southwick. So you can trust no matter how big or small your fur baby will be in capable hands. I've generally had all sizes of pets from the types listed above as well as cats, I've also had rodents, horses too. One thing all pets have in common is they love and need some attention so if your furry companion(s) need some TLC whilst you're away. 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. I have between 2 and 3 days off a week and can accommodate most times around my shift pattern. So long as my own pooches are sorted out I don't have a private Garden but I have communally shared grounds. Im a stones throw away from Milton common and my two love a walk and a swim. If I am caring for your furry family member at your own home. You can be rest assured I'll treat it with great care. I'll happily sort any accidents and will keep you updated should I find anything troubling to make sure issues can be solved. I regularly come home to torn up letters and the odd toilet roll strewn throughout my flat.
