We also came home to a beautifully clean home ! Thank you Emma , it has been a pleasure to have you here .”

“I highly recommend Edita, she looked after our puppy for us this weekend and has done a fantastic job. She has been kind, loving and taken her out for some lovely walks. It means a lot to trust someone with your dog, but Edita made us feel comfortable about leaving our puppy with her and it was clear to us that she’s a dog person and spent lots of time doing nice things with her. Thank you so much ❤️”

“Perfect! Arrived early for the meeting and the dogsitting. She sent nice photos of my lazy dogs doing nothing 😂 and kept the house tidy! Many thanks! Will use again 😁”

“Really great service, arrived on time and slightly before requested time to allow for a tour, really friendly and our dog was very well looked after. Would use again.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Rowena looking after our dogs. She was calm, friendly and clearly loves animals, and our dogs took to her straight away. She sent us plenty of updates and photos while we were away, which was so reassuring and allowed us to relax knowing they were happy and well cared for. It was such a comfort knowing they were in safe and caring hands. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Rowena again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

“Sarah was amazing - ran with unintentional chaos like a pro, spoilt Bernie rotten and generally treated both of us like members of her family. Just the support system I needed and a great communicator. I'm pretty sure Bernie was deeply disappointed that she wasn't a permanent addition.”

“Hannah & Aiden are both lovely. We are 100% going to get them to sit for us again. They had our two rescue dogs and our puppy for a week, and all of the dogs felt at ease with them right from the get go. Two of our dogs suffer from anxiety and it's often a struggle for new people to get them into their harnesses and out walking initially, but Aiden and Hannah had no issues. They even managed to do medication. All the dogs had lovely walks and we got lots of nice photos back. Some people are just naturals with animals and animals feel safe with them, so we are really greatful to have found them.”

“We were a little worried about having a house sitter for our two pugs. We found Karen on Rover.com and she was trustworthy, bonded with our dogs very quickly and really looked after them very well. We received photos every day whilst away and Karen was the perfect house sitter. We could see that our dogs were very happy on our return. Thank you Karen”

“We loved having Monika come to stay to look after our cat & dog. She is very calm and attentive and obviously cares a lot for animals. We had regular updates with photos throughout our holiday. The house was very clean and tidy for when we got home. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone and will definitely rebook her for future trips.”

Cara K.

“So pleased we found Emma. Fantastic sitter, truly cared for our Lab and home. Great communication throughout, would thoroughly recommend and will book again.”

About: Hello! I am a dog and cat lover, and have lots of experience with both kinds of pets. I have spent a lot of time with my aunts dogs - Labradors and mixes - some of whom have struggled with anxiety. My aunts dogs have primarily been Guide Dog rejects, they have gone through the training but ultimately didn’t pass their tests. I also have experience dog/house sitting for up to a week. My family has a cat and I have volunteered at cat shelters previously so I’m well equipped to care for cats too. In my free time I love to run, read, and do yoga, and I have lots of energy so I’m ready to tire out your pup. I am available days/evenings Mon-Fri.

“Great communication, lovely person”

“Catherine was wonderful with our young puppy. Came back to a happy dog and lots of new tricks!!”

“Nina looked after our french bulldog Bella in our own home for the weekend (Friday-Sunday) whilst my family & I went to a family wedding. Beforehand, Nina gladly came over to meet Bella, finding out everything she needed to know in order to look after her well. This included checking Bella's routine, diet, habits etc. We knew that Nina would be popping in throughout the weekend but we feel that she went above and beyond. As we felt Bella did not need overnight visits, Nina came first thing in the morning to let her out etc and stayed for every visit at least 2-3 hours - visiting throughout the day for extended periods, before settling her for bed. Nina also sent us regular photos and videos which reassured us that Bella was being well cared for. In addition, Nina helped to train Bella which was definitely an added bonus. We 100% trusted Nina & could not have found a better dog sitter. We would absolutely recommend Nina to anyone requiring a pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking care of our family dog so well x”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and have years of hands-on experience with dogs, cats, rabbits and other small pets. I also run my own professional pet care business, where I provide trusted pet sitting, dog walking and pop-in visits for a wide range of pets. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality and individual needs to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m experienced in caring for puppies, senior pets and pets with additional medical needs, including administering medication and insulin injections for diabetic cats. I pride myself on being reliable, caring and trustworthy, and I always keep owners updated with regular photos and messages for complete peace of mind. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I have a flexible schedule to meet your pet’s needs. As the owner of my own pet care business, I’m experienced in providing reliable walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays and tailored care throughout the week and weekends. I work around each pet’s usual routine to keep them happy, comfortable and stress-free while you’re away, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages. Your pet’s safety, happiness and wellbeing are my top priorities. I always take the time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality and any specific care requirements before looking after them. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or out on walks, I provide calm, patient and attentive care while treating your home with the utmost respect. I’m experienced in administering medication, including insulin injections for diabetic cats, and I’m confident caring for puppies, senior pets and nervous animals. I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners, so you can feel completely confident that your pet is in safe, caring hands.

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.

About: I’ve had dogs of all breeds from a young age, with currently four dogs myself. Two of are the pups of the third who I helped home birth. Great at working with dogs of all behaviours, whether anxious or full on playful souls. I currently work part time but with days off to fit around pet care. I have the school run to do with a period after school of caring for my children Caring for dogs in your home allows me to stick to any of their routines and keep them comfortable with their surroundings. Ensure plenty of play and stimulation time is provided along with doggy cuddles.

“Imogen is the perfect dog sitter. We felt so confident leaving her to look after our dogs and home. She kept us updated with photos and messages which meant we could relax and enjoy our break, knowing that all was well.”

“First time we have used someone to house/dog sit for our Lab Nova. Nicky was very efficient setting up the house sit and able to come and meet Nova at home and go through all her requirements beforehand. Nicky demonstrates a calm and mature approach to house sitting, so we knew Nova would be in safe hands and well looked after. We would happily use Nicky again and can recommend her too.”

Mark E.

“Dom and Lucy were amazing! Such a lovely couple who genuinely care about the animals in there care and also the house was spotless when we came back! I can't recommend them highly enough! They kept us updated on how things were going with regular photo updates as well. We will hopefully be able use there services again 🤞 if you looking for someone to house/dog sit look no further!”
