About: Hi, I’m Lily, a passionate animal lover and experienced pet carer offering a safe, loving home environment for your pets. I work as a children’s social worker, which means I am around throughout the day and can provide plenty of supervision, companionship, and care for pets in my home. My professional background means I am highly responsible, trustworthy, calm under pressure, and experienced in meeting individual needs. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. I currently have two house rabbits of my own, who are kept in their own separate room away from any dogs attending doggy daycare, so everyone can remain safe and comfortable. Over the years, I have carried out drop-in visits, feeding sessions, pop-ins, and dog walking for others. I am confident in managing pets with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I understand how important it is for owners to know their pets are in safe hands. Whether your pet needs company during the day, a walk, feeding visits, or loving care while you’re away, I will treat them as if they were my own, with patience, attention, and lots of affection. I would love to meet you and your pet and provide a caring, reliable service you can trust. I work from home during the week, which means pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and allows me to provide regular supervision, companionship, toilet breaks, feeding, and attention throughout the day. I am able to build walks, playtime, and care around my schedule, ensuring pets are not left alone for long periods. My evenings and weekends are also flexible, allowing me to accommodate dog walks, drop-in visits, and daycare depending on your pet’s needs and routine. In my home, I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets are supervised, given regular toilet breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of affection. I always follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walk preferences, and any individual needs. I have two free roaming house rabbits of my own, who will be kept on a separate floor away from any dogs attending daycare, ensuring a safe environment for all animals. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I respect their routine and home environment, making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for in familiar surroundings. Whether this is feeding, drop-in visits, companionship, or walks, I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs and always provide reliable, attentive care.

About: Hi, I’m Jacy! I am a passionate animal lover and have grown up surrounded by dogs and other animals. I've been caring for my friends and family's dogs since I was 13; I'm continually amazed by their loyal, loving nature and the companionship they bring. I have experience in caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes; from small energetic puppies who need lots of play, to lovable big-pawed seniors who need extra care and patience. I'm currently studying at university away from my own Sprocker Spaniel (called Roscoe), and I miss the joy and companionship that only a dog can bring. This is why I’m offering dog-walking and dog-sitting services — to stay connected with the dogs I love and to give your pup the same love and attention I would give to my own. When looking after your pet, I like to keep you updated with photos and videos of them for your peace of mind. I can provide drop-in visits, overnight pet sitting, and short or long dog walks. I am also happy to provide references from previous dog owners whose dogs I have cared for. Your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priority, and I’m committed to providing safe, fun, and tailored walks that suit your dog's individual needs. I'm currently studying at University, so can be quite flexible and am happy to provide services on evenings and weekends too! I have a full driving license and a car so am able to access most areas in and around Plymouth 😊 I like to arrange a meet and greet before caring for your pet, to go through your dog's individual needs, routines and preferences, however this is not a requirement for me and I am happy to just go with the flow. I only offer pet sitting services at the pet owner's home; I make sure to respect your space and get to know your dog to provide the best possible personalised care I can.

“Thank you for looking after Saxon so well. He looked like he enjoyed his stay.”

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.

“Freddy loved his day with Dawn! Even during a short stay I had regular updates with photos and Freddy looked super happy and right at home. Would definitely recommend Dawn and we wouldn’t hesitate to use them again!”

I work from home part-time (22 hours) so I have plenty of time to care for your dog. I live in a 4 bedroom house with a secure garden. I have two daughters, a 14 year old and a 6 year old, both are very happy and comfortable around dogs. I have a secure fenced garden with plenty of space for your pet to run around. There are lots of great places locally for dog walks, including the local rec. I have no dogs or other animals of my own. I work part-time, from home. This allows me to be flexible to your dogs routine, such as toilet routines, exercise, play, feeding etc. I spend a lot of time at home so your dog will have plenty of company.

About: have been a passionate dog lover my entire life and have extensive experience looking after pets. I was the proud owner of a wonderful dog who was part of my family for 11 years, as well as other family dogs who lived happy lives up to 18 years old. Sadly, they have passed away, and I miss having that furry companionship around the house. This is why I would love to welcome your dog into my home and give them all the care, safety, and love they deserve. Your dog will be treated like a true member of the family while staying with me. They are more than welcome to sleep in the bedroom with me, so they never feel lonely at night. We will go on plenty of outdoor walks together to keep them happy and active. I am dedicated to giving your pet so much love, playtime, and attention that they won’t even have time to miss you! I do not work, so I am always at home for them. I never leave the pets alone, which means your dog will have constant company and 100% of my attention. In my home, safety is the top priority. I always ensure that the environment is secure, with no hazardous objects within reach. Since I am home full-time, the pets are constantly supervised and never left alone. Before any stay, I prefer to meet the owners and the pet to fully understand their specific routine, diet, and behavior, ensuring a safe and stress-free environment for them.

“Natasha was delightful - calm and reassuring, and her own dog was friendly. She was very accommodating, accepting Dylan at short notice and sent me lovely updates. I was very happy with her care.”

Sue P.

“Natasha took wonderful care of Lizzie, treating her like part of the family. Her home was warm and dog-friendly, and she made us feel completely at ease. I loved receiving regular photo updates of Lizzie’s adventures throughout the day. The communication was excellent, and it was clear that Lizzie was in great hands. We would definitely trust Natasha again!”

Savannah G.

“Joanna and Sebastien helped us out at short notice after our regular dog sitter was poorly. They went out of their way to accommodate us and even met us in the morning before the scheduled booking with their gorgeous dog Pepe to make sure everyone got on! I can’t recommend them highly enough, we had photos and videos throughout the evening and Luna had a fabulous time whilst with them. We’re so happy we found someone to take care of Luna, we’ll definitely be booking with them again 😊”

About: I take the time to understand every dog’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages and temperaments, including seniors and anxious pups, and I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I don't work now, so I can devote all of my time to caring, playing and fun walks with your dog. I have two parks near by and we have lots of calm cuddles and comfy naps after. I am licenced with BCP and Safety, trust, and a calm environment are always my top priorities. I care for pets in a clean, secure, and comfortable home where they’re never left unattended for long periods. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, and care instructions to help them feel settled and stress-free. I keep a close eye on behavior, energy levels, and appetite, and I’m quick to respond if anything seems off. I treat every pet like family—making sure they feel safe, loved.

“Kima had a great time with Jessa today. Jess communicated well throughout the whole process and I was confident that she would look after Kima well.”

“Winston had the best time with Patrycja, her lovely family and of course Gaia! Winston loves being with people and playing with other dogs - he had such a great time that we literally had to drag him out with us. Patrycja made everything so easy and was more than accommodating.”

About: My love for dogs is at the heart of everything I do. I believe that pets are family, and I treat them with the same care and respect. From energetic puppies to senior dogs with special needs, I have experience handling a wide range of pet care scenarios. I offer a flexible schedule to accommodate the needs of pet owners, ensuring that your pet receives consistent and attentive care. I provide a safe, secure, and loving environment where pets can thrive and feel at home. I am very precise, so if you have specific instructions for your dog, be reassured they will be followed :) My work is pretty flexible and that allows me to take care of the dogs properly, let them walk regularly. I am available on weekends and weekdays. I have a flat that can accommodate up to two dogs (from the same family or different families) at the same time. They will have space to be comfortable.

“Camila is extremely welcoming and made me feel at ease straight away. She keeps me updated throughout the day with pictures and how my puppy is getting on. My puppy gets so excited when Camila opens the door which makes me feel comfortable leaving her!”

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.

“It was wonderful to be able to leave Starsky with Sophie while we visited family in Bournemouth. He enjoyed a lovely afternoon walk and snooze. Sophie’s communication with us was great before and during his visit. Thank you for having him Sophie and for the pic! Highly recommended.”

About: Here’s a polished, clear rewording that keeps everything you said but flows better and sounds friendly and professional: I currently live in a house and have a young child under the age of two. I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, including Dalmatians, German Shepherds, King Charles Spaniels, and Yorkshire Terriers. I work in Christchurch, which allows me to offer daytime dog walks and visits during the week, and I am also available for evening walks and care in Poole. If you are looking for home boarding, I work from home and can provide full-day care and supervision. I have been around dogs from a young age. My family adopted a King Charles Spaniel who required daily walks and twice-daily feeding, and he was extremely well loved and cared for. Because of his affectionate nature, we later welcomed a miniature Dachshund into our family, who has recently turned five, giving me hands-on experience with different temperaments and smaller breeds. In addition I previously lived with a German Shepherd and a Dalmatian, which has further expanded my experience with larger dogs. I’ve grown to love caring for them there’s nothing better than coming home to a happy, excited dog. I am very flexible with timings and happy to help whenever needed. Please feel free to message me for any further details. I would be more than happy to assist with any dog or cat and care needs. I currently work full time in at an office job in which my hours are 9am - 5pm, Monday to Friday but can work around my hours during the weekend and can be more available on weekends depending on you’re requirements. I currently have moved into a house and which is located close to Poole park so your dog can be enjoy running around and going on lovely adventures. If I was to visit or house sit this would be different as I would ensure your dog has the same love and care they deserve making sure they are well fed, loved and given generous walks.
