House Sitting in Portsmouth

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

“Ellie did a fantastic job in looking after our 2 dogs in a house sit. She was very attentive to their every need and sent us daily photos and video updates. The house was left clean and tidy when she left and we would definitely have her back again if required in the future. We would definitely recommend Ellie as a house and pet sitter”

“Bex was absolutely fantastic, she looked after our 14 year old Molly Dog over a 3 day wedding trip. Bex visited us a few weeks before to check our set up, meet Molly and have a chat about what was needed. During our family wedding trip, she kept us updated with pics of her walks, play and even grooming - Molly was treated like a doggy princess; We’d highly recommend Bex, we were completely confident in her services and also as a trustworthy person to look after our house.”

“Zoe was great & we can highly recommend her! Wicklow clearly had an amazing day. We received some lovely photos during the sit & he was happy and calm when we got home. Zoe is really friendly, reliable and her communication was great throughout. We would book her again in an instant.”

“We had the pleasure of having Zuzanna take care of our three dogs over the weekend while we were away, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very first interaction, she was friendly, professional, and clearly an animal lover. She took the time to get to know our dogs' personalities, their routines, and preferences, which made us feel at ease leaving them behind. Throughout the weekend, Zuzana sent us little updates, along with photos of our dogs enjoying their time. It was so comforting to know they were in such great hands. Our pups are a handful—one's a high-energy pup, another's a bit shy, and the third is a senior with some special needs—but she handled it all with ease and affection. The dogs were calm, happy, and healthy when we returned, which says it all. We truly appreciate how much attention was given to each of their unique needs We highly recommend Zuzanna to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter! We’ll definitely be booking again for our future trips. Thank you again!”

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: I am currently looking for a career change into something I love doing and that being with pets, I have had cats Dogs and Rabbits all my life I currently work from home full time, which gives me a great deal of flexibility. I’m able to organise my schedule around your requirements and adjust my availability whenever needed. “I have a good‑sized, fully fenced garden that provides plenty of safe, secure outdoor space, making it ideal for relaxation, play, or accommodating pets comfortably.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since a young age, and grew up with 2 Maltese Shih Tzu's Ralph and Frankie. I walked, fed and most importantly cuddled them everyday. I now live with an adorable beagle, bursting with energy. I have dog and cat sat for family and friends multiple times since the age of 17, so have plenty experience with all types of dogs. While I have less experience with cats, I still love to look after them and give them just as much love (when they want it!). Hire me if you want a friendly and reliable pet sitter! I work full time Monday-Friday 8:30-17:00 typically. I am able to offer attention/walking/feeding in the morning, during my afternoon lunch break and all evening. On the weekends, I'm fully free to give you pets all my attention. I can offer your animals safety as I am used to living in environments where pets are the main focus. I would treat your home with care and respect to ensure you come back to your home just how you left it.

About: I’ve got two big doggies that I help care for and love dearly. I used to walk my neighbours dog with them when I did my a levels to keep me sane ! since going to university and qualifying as a paramedic, I’ve missed my doggies so much and I would love to spend my free time helping others :)) I work shifts which consist of five days on four days off. This means my availability is different weekly but I have a lot of free time and flexible hours to look after your pets !! I would give them lots of love and keep them stimulated-whatever suits them. I know all dogs require different things so I would cater their experiences accordingly 💁🏼‍♀️

About: I’m currently training to become a Level 3 qualified Dog Groomer and have had dogs all my life, so I’m confident, calm and comfortable caring for a variety of breeds and temperaments. Qualified in Canine First Aid. I'm currently working part time so can be flexible and have plenty of time to care for your dogs, open to boarding and in-house sitting also, available on weekends also. I have a secure garden with no external access from street, crate available if/when needed. We have a two year old mixed breed dog who is very loving and friendly.

About: Grew up with Beagles and Corgis, and enjoy behaviour and leadwalk training. I have a passion for canine behaviour and psychology, and enjoy the reward of gaining a dog’s trust and responsiveness. Have a soft spot for Corgis, Aussies, Dobermanns and Greyhounds, and have a GSD mix rescue dog of my own! Happy to work with more challenging situations and behaviours too, as I think most dogs are just misunderstood. Comfortable with all aspects of care, from puppies to seniors. Work four on, four off with leave every four weeks. This is when my main availability will be. Feel free to message if you are desperate for a date, I will always try my hardest to accommodate if I can! I respect everyone’s home and their routine with their pet. I am a placeholder, and will adapt my approach to suit you and your pet’s lifestyle and needs.

“Shalom was so lovely and kind, she kept us updated all the way through with lots of photos, and our 2 cats were happy and comfortable with her :) she was so respectful of our home, and treated our cats with love and patience, fully recommend her!”
