About: I raised my 5 year old cocker spaniel, who loves ditch-the-bowl training. I'm a freelance outdoor instructor offering stimulating, long winter walks with new scents to enrich happy dogs. My two dogs enjoy morning and evening walks. With the garden always open, I provide 1-2 long weekday walks and adventurous weekend outings away from Sherborne. My garden is fenced, so they cannot escape. My two dogs will keep your dog company who are both very friendly and are used to other dogs staying. If they were to travel in the van I have seat belt clips, clips and a crate in the rear. I have a crate if your dog needs it's own space in the house too (Rusty sleeps under the stairs and Indi can sleep in our bedroom, so your dog can either sleep in the kitchen or living room). If you needed me to stay at your house, then I don't have to bring my dogs as my partner also works from home. We love dogs! We don't have children so they get a lot of fuss. I tend to use kibble/treats on their first walk with a retractable lead, to get a sense of recall and connection with the dog.

“Tianna took really good care of my little girly. Even though the weather was really hot and couldn't go out for walks, she made sure Tilly had the best of time with one-one play.”

About: I’ve rescued cats my entire life and it’s my dream to one day have my own rescue centre. For the time being I have my own two little babies, my dear old cat who passed last year had strict diet and medication due to allergies, so I’m well experienced in caring for those with slightly more hands on needs! I work generally 9 -5 each weekday, in law but I have flexibility and can change this or work remotely when need be. I always make sure to spend a couple of days or at least lunches with my own kitties a few times a week, they get plenty of exercise! As I have my own fur babies I am mindful that their own comfort is not compromised, as well as the pet I’m caring for who I’m sure will prefer their own beds. I would therefore work in the pet owners home.

“Second time checking in on my cat over a week long period. Great communication, lots of updates and took great care of her. Fantastic service ☺️”

About: Experienced pet sitter of nearly 10 years. Leaving your pet is always difficult but they will be in good hands and have a mini holiday of their own! I’ve looked after all sorts of adorable pets from rabbits to horses and everything in between in flats, houses and farms and for the stars . I have two dogs of my own, and have an experience looking after nervous and reactive dogs and always ensure I follow owner’s instructions and what’s best for the animal (i.e. if space is needed around people or other dogs). Age of the animal isn’t a problem and I’m happy and experienced looking after young to old! They will always get love and attention and plenty of play time. I will always send photos and updates to the owner too. I currently work 9-5 Monday to Friday from home with only 1 week day in the office, I’m home on the weekends so plenty of time to help out. I have two dogs with my family at home. I will stick to your animals needs as much as possible so there is little disruption to their normal routine. Walking, feeding, sleep and play time. When booking, please make sure all instructions and schedules are provided so I can match it as close as possible.

About: Two friends who live and work together! We are ready to make your dogs feel at home. Hi there! We’re Tasha and Lara. Both lifelong dog lovers with extensive experience in pet care. We’ve both grown up with dogs, giving us a deep understanding of their needs, personalities and quirks. Natasha: During my time in Bondi, I frequently looked after dogs, providing walking, sitting, and general care with love and dedication. I’m committed to ensuring your furry friends receive the attention and exercise they deserve. 🐶🐶 Lara: I’ve owned and cared for family pets from a young age and I absolutely love dogs. I’ve cared for my own Cockapoo for 12 years and taken care of family friends’ dogs for over a decade, providing lots of cuddles, enrichment and exercise. With us, your dog is guaranteed to be with someone around the clock. We always send daily updates with photos of your dog on a walk at the beach, socialising in a cafe or relaxing at home. The stats say that I don't send photos with my bookings, but I ALWAYS do! I just don't use the Rover App to send them. Both Lara and I work from home, allowing us to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the day. We incorporate regular walks, playtime, and training sessions into our routine, ensuring your dog receives both exercise and attention. With an outside space and the beach less than 5 minutes away, we can provide a safe environment for pets to play and explore, making their experience enjoyable and enriching. In our home, we prioritise a safe and welcoming environment for pets. We secure hazardous items and provide cosy spaces for relaxation. Whether in my yard or at a pet owner’s home, we maintain routines to ensure pets feel comfortable and cared for. We’re both committed to building trust with both pets and their owners, always communicating openly about their needs and behaviours. Your furry friends will be treated like family!

“So happy to have found Alannya at short notice to look after our GSDx Bear. We got loads of photo updates, communication was spot on and I left the house feeling super comfortable and happy knowing Bear was in safe hands. Highly recommend x”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for 5+ years, plus having pets growing up taught me a lot. References available on request. I have lovely clients and I adore all the pets I get to visit and spend time with :) I’m Self-Employed so am pretty flexible. I currently work from home so scheduling shouldn’t really be a problem. Occasionally Fridays I cannot do, but we can discuss dates etc. I always love walking them and exploring, we spend good time outside :) whatever they need! Cuddles too. We live in the countryside so plenty of space

About: I’ve worked in animal rescue so I’m very used to a wide variety of dogs, breed and size. Also worked with a variety of needs also. I have my own dogs. One since a pup who was challenging and then became reactive. She is doing amazing now! And I have a foreign rescue who posed many opposite challenges so I’m able to adapt to the dogs needs. I have ten years experience in the nhs but I’m looking at going into a career with dogs now. It’s my main passion. I’ve been told I’m very calm and patient with dogs which draws many dogs to me. I have attended all sorts of workshops and classes with my own dogs including: puppy/adolescent classes, trick training, parkour, scentwork, mantrailing, barnhunt, Canicross, paddle boarding, agility and hoopers to name a few. I try and include things I think your dog may enjoy on our walks. I have completed many online courses from canine first aid, canine body language and behaviour and dog walking. I have also spent a lot of time observing behaviourists, trainers, walkers, vets, vet nurses, hydrotherapists and physios to gain as much knowledge and experience as I can. I’m currently doing odd bits of work with dogs including training/behaviour work with supervision and hydrotherapy/physio assistant work. So my diary is currently very flexible. I know lots of local walks and I’m very used to finding quieter walks if that’s what a dog needs. I also know good busier areas for bits of dog training depending on the dogs requirements. I also live on private land with some secure fields so that is an option also.
