“Lovely couple, great communication and from the lovely photos it looks like Gateaux had a great day 🥰 definitely animal lovers, would use again if we’re ever in Portsmouth!”


“Would highly recommend! Having never left our dog Stormy with anyone other than family before - we were a little bit nervous leaving him with someone completely new. However, right from the beginning Tracey made us feel very confident that we were leaving him with someone that would take good care of him. We were only away for the day but Tracey and her lovely family took him out for a couple of walks including a stroll down Southsea sea front. She checked in with us whilst we were away and we have lots of lovely pictures of him enjoying his day. We are incredibly happy with the service and have already said we will definitely come back to Tracey again.”


“Faye was amazing with my dog Hugo, sent me photos and texts to let me know how he was whilst she was looking after him and took him out for a few walks through the day. I would highly recommend Faye ⭐️”


“Coral and Jordan are brilliant, Bailey felt at home right from the moment she met them and we feel very comfortable leaving her with them. They take great care of her and keep us up to date with photos and updates re her walks etc. Would definitely recommend!”


About: Hi my name is Ellisia! A little about me, I was very luck to have Fostered 8-10 rescues from Europe in my home as a volunteer for a new leash for life charity (Hampshire based dog charity) in 2023. And rescued one of those of my own who is now a lover. Dog grooming assistant qualified, at Chichester college. I handled dog breeds or all shapes and sizes. And can bath, groom and trim nails. 2 months volunteering in Thailand in a dog sanctuary back in 2020. When I assisted with the running of the dog rescue centre. Bathing, feeding and comforting new rescues. And walking the resident dogs. Owned my own dog for 1 year now! And grew up with a family dog ( a Norfolk terrier) for 17years from the age of 11-28, she sparked my love for animals and dogs that’s for sure. Have been walking and sitting dogs for the last 2 years approximately along side my job which is work from home. With the intention to eventually do this full time. Instagram profile : Zoomiesdogwalkingandsitting - follow me 🐾🫶🏼 Rover discount https://www.rover.com/sit/ellisc26202 Your Promo Code: ELLISC26202 I currently work full time from home, Monday -Friday. I am available Monday -Friday evenings for dog sitting and walking. But mainly available Saturday and Sunday day and evenings for dog walking, or sitting. some weekdays for dog sitting but subject to availability only I live in a spacious open plan cottage 10mins from southsea seafront. Just myself and clover live here. And have a 10ft brick wall surrounding my garden. Garden is pretty large too!

About: I am fully insured as a pet sitter and dog walker. I only look after one families pets at a time, I like to provide my full attention to your pet. I have many years experience looking after animals. I have owned little furries since I was 10 years old. I have taken care of family members dogs for many years, walking them regularly and keeping them overkight if required. I have also provided voluntary care including dog walking for people who have difficulty walking their own dogs. I do this purely because I love animals especially dogs, unfortunately due to working shifts means it wouldn't be fair to have a dog of my own. I have my partner to help out at weekends and evenings, who is amazing with dogs and they all seem to absolutely love him! I work shifts so on my days off and I would like to take dogs for regular walks and take care of them whilst families are at work to help fill my time I have just moved into a new home where I currently have 2 hamsters, when accommodating dogs I ensure the hamsters are safe and and hidden out of the way in one of the spare bedrooms. We have a big home with a garden and conservatory, where I can accommodate looking after them for the day. We have large open spaces nearby for plenty of walks to keep active. I never leave the dogs alone and will be with them at all times. I only look after one dog at a time, 2 if they live together.

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and have personal experience caring for them. I had a Bichon-Poodle mix (a Poochon ☺️) for seven years, so I understand the energy levels and different needs of small breeds. While I may not have professional experience, I make up for it with genuine care, patience, and a love for animals. I know how important it is to make dogs feel safe, happy, and well exercised, whether it’s a playful or a calm walk. I’ll treat your dog like my own, making sure they’re comfortable and cared for every step of the way! I am currently taking a break from work to focus on creating a healthy work-life balance, this therefore gives me plenty of flexibility for dog care! I have the time to offer reliable walks and quality care, whether it’s a regular routine or occasional walks when needed. I live in a flat and while I would love to have a chihuahua one day, it’s not possible at the moment so caring for other pets is the next best thing! My home is a calm and safe space and it’s lucky to have several large parks just a few minutes away, perfect for walks and playtime. There’s also a pet shop nearby so I can easily pick up anything needed.

“Korra had a great time, she was well looked after and was very happy when I came to pick her up. Communication was great and I was sent pictures of Korra to make sure she was doing well. Would definitely recommend!”


“Our pup, Bailey, is technically mine, but my parents refuse to admit it 😅 When I took a job that requires me to move in January, it meant leaving Bailey behind 🥲 After struggling to find the right person and dealing with a hectic schedule and last-minute family commitments during the week we were supposed to have a meet-and-greet, Nikola still graciously agreed to watch Bailey on Sunday, even though she could have easily canceled. She was is so kind, extremely reassuring, and very helpful, easing my worries about leaving him with someone he doesn’t know. She even shared pictures of her home beforehand and kept me updated throughout the day that she looked after him. Long story short, i would 100% recommend Nikola to anyone needing any care whether that be a walk, daycare etc. Bailey can’t wait to see her again!”
