Pet Sitting Sherborne

“Emma was absolutely amazing with my three cats over three days of drop ins. I was really nervous about leaving them as I had never done so before, but after meeting in person and checking out the daily updates to see how happy my cats were, I realised I had nothing to worry about at all! Emma provided regular updates and pictures and clearly took the time to gain each of my cats trust, played with them and gave them treats! Will be using Emma again and would recommend her to anyone! Thank you again Emma 🐱❤️”

“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 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’ve lived with dogs from birth until last year. All types! 3x Golden Retreiver, Rescue Collie, Rescue Carpathian Shephard and a Chihuahua. I have since been volunteering at an animal rescue in my spare time, caring for all breeds of dogs and temperaments. I love spending all my spare time with dogs, and improving their quality of life. I currently work flexible shifts, so have lots of time to play with your pets! I am available on Monday’s and Wednesday’s from 2pm and Saturday’s! I understand that all dogs have different temperaments and behaviours, so ensuring the dogs feel safe and comfortable in my company is my number one priority.

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.

About: I’ve grown up and looked after dogs my whole life. All shapes and sizes. I am fortunate to have a large fenced garden and surround by nothing but fields. I like nothing better than to be out in the fresh air normally accompanied by my gorgeous Viszla. I am currently not working so am at home and free all day. I walk my dog twice a day for an hour at a time. I have an enclosed garden and a very friendly Viszla who is very sociable and on dry days spends most of it outside. Her choice.

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: 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.

“Jonathan was brilliant, communication was excellent, before, during and after the visit. It was all very last minute, but he was so accommodating doing an hour's visit with a walk included for me. Rui looked incredibly chilled (which is amazing!), happy and in his element in the photos and he was still exhausted and happy when I returned home! Amazing!”

About: I have 1 gorgeous Goldador at home.I have experience with newborn puppies as my parents oldest dog has had 2 litters (1st with 10 puppies (1 of them is my fur baby!) and 2nd with 7) so I am capable of looking after lots of dogs at a time and can handle stressful situations. All of my dogs are active at and when at home I take them on long walks daily and make sure they are mentally stimulated. Both of them are very well behaved and I trained them myself and to a very high standard (can do a variety of tricks). I love dogs all shapes and sizes and can easily adapt to any situation. I look forward to meeting your dog and hopefully they will become my new best friend!! I am at home in Norwich for the summer until I go back to university at the end of September and will be available weekdays and weekends with notice I will happily spend time with your dogs in your garden or take them on one of my favourite walking routes to make sure they have the best time with me :)

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.

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.

About: I have always had dogs, amongst various other animals, growing up and have been given responsibility with them from a young age. Over the last four/five years I have done various dog and house sitting, for a range of times and with up to two dogs. I am currently doing a Uni course with the Open University therefore all online. Which means I have plenty of time to play with and prioritise your pets. I will only be dog sitting in others houses and I don’t have the room in my own home but anything that is needed for you dog will be done.

About: I’ve had a dog and cat since I was 3 and have looked after them and many other pets my entire life and enjoy meeting new animal friends I offer pet sits and walks from 4:30pm Monday to Friday and all day on weekends I work 8-4 Monday to Friday so can do evenings all week and anything on weekends wethers than pee breaks or pet sitting and play I have a very energetic springer spaniel who is quite difficult to keep quite at times but I can deal with him easily as well as an 15 year old grumpy cat you likes to run off I will make sure your pet feels safe and enjoys my company

“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: Reliable and conscientious, caring and pro-active with 20 years experience in dog walking and dog sitting for friends and family. Based in Dorchester, Dorset. Access to a private garden and a multitude of walking routes, green spaces and bridleways, ideal for dog walks in the countryside, year round. Dependable and attentive = available to help with dog walking, boarding or general pet care. I provide daily feeding, walks and playtime, and take care of grooming and health needs on a weekly basis. Located in Poundbury, Dorchester, with access to a private fenced garden and a wide variety of walking routes, green spaces, and bridleways—perfect for countryside dog walks all year round. The household has no other pets.

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.

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 always taken care of the pets of my friends, family and neighbours and have recently been using the borrow-my-doggy app to help look after the dogs of locals on a volunteering basis. This has included walking the dogs and having them overnight, with one client saying she teared up because of how helpful I was! I currently have no fixed working hours, so I am completely flexible! I can be a morning person or night owl depending on your pet, in order to adapt to their schedule in the most convenient way possible for you and them. I have a spacious area with 3 rooms and an open plan layout as well as stairs to allow your pet space to roam and run free, before heading out to the many amazing walking areas right in front of the gated property I live in. I have dog toys from when I looked after previous dogs and food/water bowls suitable for both dogs and cats. There’s never anything sharp or dangerous or in the way on the tidy floor of my house, making it the perfect place for your pet to roll around or play-fight, or just to rest after we’ve walked, played, cuddled, trained.. whatever your pet wants:)
