“Monty is so happy to go to sues. When we get there and let him out of the car, he is knocking on their door. He loves to be there and is spoiled rotten. Would deffently recommend her.”
“Maria and her partner are just top quality people and the service they had provided was top quality. I was going away to London for a celebration, they invited us over the evening before I was due to go away so Benny could explore there home and meet who he’s going to spend a couple of days with straight away it was clear Benny was going to be very happy. I dropped Benny of early the next morning Maria and her partner took Benny straight out on a walk and he loved every minute of his little trip. Maria sent me frequent updates with how Benny was going along with photos and videos. Benny was very settled and very happy with the care he received. Would recommend 100% highly and would use Maria again. Top quality care. Thank you again for everything.”
About: My family had owned pets pretty much my whole life, from small animals like gerbils and budgies, to dogs and cats! As a somewhat paranoid pet owner myself, I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pets care to someone else, and as a result I aim to give the same standard of care as I would for my own pets. I am also able to provide care for birds. as I am at home from university over the summer period, I am very flexible in terms of when I am available to provide pet care. The care I provide can vary depending on the needs of your pet. I will ensure their environment is safe at all times, paying careful attention to any specific hazards or concerns you may have. And of course walking/feeding/playing.
“Camila was excellent with my 10 month old cocker spaniel girl Nala - she sent regular updates and videos which really put my mind at ease. Nala came home happy and I can't recommend Camila enough!”
“Rachael is super friendly, absolutely adores the dogs, and spends lots of time playing with them and making sure they’re as comfortable as can be. Eddie had an amazing couple of weeks, loved every walk, and came home happily worn out. I don’t think he wanted to come home! Rachael sent me loads of photos every day so I was always able to see how much fun Eddie was having with her and her lovely dog.I'll definitely be booking with Rachael again 🙂”
“Angela and her family looked after my dog Captain for the weekend and did an amazing job. He seemed to settle with them well and enjoyed his time with the family. Angela sent over plenty of updates and photos and was really quick to reply to messages. A huge thank you from myself and Captain (aka Pirate)”
“This was our dogs first time away. Sam was brilliant! Bixby took to her straightaway. I would definitely use her again and recommend her. She seemed very confident and understanding.”
“It was a perfect 1st stay away from home. Millie was made very welcome and Aga helped her to settle and maintained her routine. Aga couldn't have been more accommodating or caring and her updates with regular photos showing Millie happy and enjoying herself were very reassuring. A great dog minder that I will use again and would be happy to recommend.”
“Thank you Ruth and family. Frankie clearly had a great time and was well looked after. I appreciated the pics also. Hopefully we’ll make it work again in the not too distant future. Anne, Ian & Frankie”
“Dawn and Obi took wonderful care of Chieveley. Communication was excellent with a lovely daily photo and it was clear Chieveley had a truly awesome week so it allowed me to have one too knowing she was well cared for”
“Jane was fantastic! Her home and garden are safe and perfect for dogs, and she clearly adores them. River had so much fun playing with Watson and came home happy, relaxed and beautifully brushed. I really appreciated all the regular updates – it was great to know he was in such loving hands.”
About: March 2026: I’ve been a spaniel owner for 15 years - puppies through to seniors. I’ve had my working cocker, Frankie, since he was 8 weeks old and trained him myself. He’s now 5 and, like most spaniels, loves everyone! I have also looked after friend’s dogs over the last few years. Prior to Frankie, I rescued 2 male american cocker spaniels that had never been socialised. They certainly tested me but I learnt a lot from the experience. As a dog owner, when I’m looking for a sitter myself, I’m looking for someone who is capable, confident and calm. I need to feel a certain energy and know that my dog will be exercised safely and cared for with kindness. I can offer all of this. I can only consider dogs up to 18kg in weight. I work from home for my husband’s business and can manage my own time. My day always starts with walking Frankie, sometimes in Upton Country Park and sometimes Hamworthy park. I’m out for another walk mid afternoon and if weather permits Frankie will spend part of the day mooching around the garden. I’m fine with special requirements and I can accommodate short walks for seniors if required. I have a fully secure, large garden. Also, plenty of space indoors, a large kitchen diner and a utility room. I have a puppy pen and a large crate if required. Frankie has been sleeping in his bed in the corner of my bedroom but my preference would be for him to sleep downstairs if he has a companion.
“Violet had a fantastic time with lots of photos to show how she was getting on and the lovely walks she was going on. Jess is fantastic and very reassuring. Violet is already booked in for a longer stay and I am so happy to have found such a wonderful sitter for Violet.”
About: With over 5 years of experience in pet sitting, starting from my time in Liverpool to my current home in Poole, I offer a professional and highly personalized service. What sets me apart is my ability to provide a consistent "work-from-home" presence; your dog will be under my direct supervision throughout the entire day, ensuring they never feel lonely or anxious. I have extensive experience with puppy training support, helping maintain routines for young dogs, as well as providing gentle senior care for older pets who need a calmer pace and extra attention. My resident Dachshund, Nina, is excellently socialized, making my home an ideal environment for dogs who enjoy calm canine company. I am a firm believer in positive reinforcement and clear communication. I pride myself on being extremely organized with feeding schedules and specific medical needs. While I live in a family environment that provides a warm atmosphere, I am the sole professional caregiver, managing all walks, training reinforcement, and specialized care myself to ensure the highest standards of safety and attention for your furry family member. Pet care is the heart of my daily routine. As I work from home for Airbnb, I am present throughout the entire day, providing constant supervision and companionship. My schedule is built around the dogs: we start with a morning walk at 8:30 AM, followed by a midday stroll at 1:00 PM, and a late afternoon walk around 5:00 PM. Because I am always home, I can easily adapt to any specific potty breaks or feeding schedules your pet requires, ensuring they feel secure and settled in a professional "home-office" environment. Safety is my absolute priority. I manage all pet care personally in my home, which features a fully fenced and secure garden for safe outdoor play. Indoors, pets stay with me in my dedicated home office or the main living area, always under my direct watch. I maintain a calm and respectful atmosphere, and I only accept dogs that are well-socialized and friendly. Whether your dog needs their own crate for naps or prefers a cozy spot on the sofa, I ensure a controlled, stress-free environment where they are monitored and loved 100% of the time.
“Sharon is the first person I've used on the app and she was absolutely brilliant! She immediately made me feel comfortable, and kept in touch whilst I was away sending photos and videos of my pup with her family, on walks and looking very content which eased my nerves. Sharon was really accommodating when we were caught in traffic and unable to make it back at the stated time. Thank you Sharon for making Hollie so welcome.”

We cannot recommend Sarah highly enough. Before Bunty's stay, we met with Sarah twice and it was immediately clear how much she genuinely loves and understands animals. She took the time to get to know Bunty, her routine, and her personality, which gave us complete confidence that she would be well cared for. During Bunty's boarding stay, Sarah and her husband treated her as if she were their own dog. They followed her usual routine, ensured she felt comfortable and settled, and showed her so much care, patience and compassion. It was clear that Bunty was not just being looked after, but truly cared for and loved. We particularly appreciated the regular updates, photos and messages throughout her stay. It was wonderful to see how happy and relaxed Bunty was, and it gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Sarah and her husband were also incredibly accommodating and flexible, making the whole experience completely stress-free from start to finish. Their kindness and genuine affection for animals really set them apart. We honestly could not have asked for a better experience. Bunty came home happy, relaxed and clearly very well cared for. We would not hesitate to book with Sarah again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring and dedicated dog sitter.
I was extremely pleased with how Sue looked after our 6 month puppy, it was his first time staying with Sue, he had a great time, she coped and handled his anxiety about sleeping in a different house really well, and settled in quickly, would thoroughly recommend Sue to look after dogs.
Jane stepped up to help us last minute, and we couldn’t be more grateful for finding her! Her home was set up perfectly for Ziggy, with constant access to the back garden and a patio for sun bathing. She had a lovely, reassured manner which put us and Ziggy immediately at ease, and Watson was an absolute delight. Ziggy had simply the best time whilst staying with Jane, loving his runs through the woods and opportunity to be safely off the lead! Thank you so much for taking such good care of him!
Our experience with Natasha has been absolutely amazing. She has been very welcoming of our quirky dog and turned him into a dream! When we booked Natasha, our Frenchie was not a fan of other dogs and has never been, we've collected him today after staying for three nights, now walks with others and been an absolute angel! We are so grateful for Natasha having Kobe, and for helping change our future walks for the better! Will certainly be returning for your sitting in the future! We received regular photos and kept updated with how Kobe was. He's come home almost sad to leave her! Thank you very much 😊
Ashley delivered an amazing service The pick up and drop off of your beloved Labradory dog went smoothly, everyday we had pictures and videos of him, and all we can say, he had a wonderful time ! We would definitly recommand Ashley Thank you again Ash, and we will surely rebook again
