“I fully recommend this lovely family to look after your dog. I was so confident that Roxy was in the safest of hands and I think she had a better holiday than I did. It's a good sign that on our return from over 2 weeks away, after saying a warm hello to myself and my wife, she ran back in the house and I honestly think she wouldn't have minded if we turned around and went away again 😂. Look no further if you want a the best loving and professional care of your pet.”
About: I work from home 24/7 and I'm local to dog friendly parks. As a remote worker, I have a flexible schedule - meaning I am available for several services including daily dog & cat drop ins, boarding and dog walking. I have a 13 year-old Shih Tzu, named Lulu, who is calm and friendly around other dogs. We adopted her 5 years ago and she is truly treated like royalty in our household! I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to put your dog into the care of someone new, so I am more than happy to meet you and your pup to make sure we are the right fit for each other! As a remote worker, I am home 24/7 and can offer your dog calm & constant companionship. Ideal for pups who may suffer from separation anxiety! I have a secure, fenced garden. I have a Shih Tzu to keep your dog company and there is space in my home for crate if required.
“Rebecca thankfully accepted our dogs stay at short notice. She was so lovely! Very communicative and sent lots of photos. She also didn't bat an eyelid when I picked my boy up a bit worse for wear after a weekend wedding 🙈 or when Cass rolled in cow poo and she had to bath him! We will definitely re book next time we need to go away. Thank you Rebecca and Josh 😊”
“Suki is an absolutely amazing dog sitter I am so delighted to have found her! My two dogs were so happy & relaxed when I collected them. Suki kept me well updated throughout the stay and sent so many cute photos of the girls enjoying their little holiday. Suki’s house is gorgeous and so peaceful, surrounded by beautiful countryside. She is genuinely caring and compassionate to animals and clearly loves what she does, giving them so much attention and love during their stay. I felt so happy while they were with Suki and able to relax properly while away. A wonderful place to take your pet!!”

“This was Peaches’ 2nd stay with Helen, arranged at short notice which was very helpful! Peaches and Helen have formed a precious bond, it was delightful to see Peaches so happy and excited running towards Helen and going into her house, evidently feeling very at home. Lovely house, garden and rural environment. Helen looked after Peaches brilliantly and was vigilant regarding Peaches’ joint issues, and gave her medicine accordingly. We have another stay booked for our summer holiday.”
“Laura's home is now Chilli's second home :) From the moment we met, it was clear that she is incredibly attentive and genuinely cares about dogs. During Chilli's stay, Laura consistently went above and beyond to ensure he was comfortable and happy. She provided regular updates, including pictures and videos, which were a great reassurance and a wonderful way to stay connected to Chilli while we were away. Her home is a perfect environment for dogs, with plenty of space to play and relax. Chilli had a fantastic time and came back home happy and well-cared for. I highly recommend Laura to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. I will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Millie really enjoyed her stay with Gavin and Lexi! She was a bit overwhelmed at the start but Gavin was very kind and patient and helped her feel settled in. Many thanks and highly recommended.”
“Anna and Izzi have been absolutely wonderful with Rosie. They took such kind and attentive care of her, and it’s clear how much they genuinely enjoy having her around. I loved seeing how they took her to different places and gave her little adventures, it really means a lot. They never left her alone and kept me reassured throughout, which made a huge difference. I felt completely at ease and was able to relax while travelling, knowing Rosie was in such safe and caring hands. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone, and I’d be very happy for Rosie to stay with them again.”
“🐾 We are so grateful for the amazing care given to our dog Quattro. This was actually the second time we trusted Terence to look after him (the first being nearly two weeks last August), and once again the experience was outstanding. From the very beginning, communication was excellent and we felt completely reassured leaving Quattro in such kind and capable hands. He was looked after with so much love and attention, and it was clear he was happy, safe, and treated like part of the family. The regular updates really put our minds at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would wholeheartedly recommend Terence to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Quattro again! 🐾”
“Jo has just looked after our 2 little dogs for 3 nights at short notice.She kept us updated regularly with photos and our little ones absolutely loved her! We shall certainly be using Jo again.Thankyou Jo🤗”

“Kelly was amazing when she looked after our Dog. She kept us updated daily with photos, videos & messages. It reassured us that he was being looked after and having a great time! Thank you so much Kelly, he had the best time with you and Mabel and we will absolutely book him with you again soon.”
“Mandi is such a fantastic dog whisperer! She went so far above and beyond for our dog Summer, who came back happy, better trained and smelling beautiful! This isn’t just work to Mandi, she very clearly adores dogs and understands them intimately. She was also a very welcoming host to me and my children, nothing was rushed and she took the time to know Summer and then to transfer care back to us - showing us her new tricks, giving us recommendations and even sharing a song about Summer! The (p)updates were also remarkable. So much detail about Summer’s fun days, the treats and exercise she’d had, new friends she had made, etc. all presented in such a fun way made it an absolute delight. She melted away all of my worries about leaving our precious pet instantly, and I have no doubt Summer will be back to see Mandi again soon! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone! So far above my expectations, I’d give more than 5 stars if I could! My children dubbed her the Fairy Dogmother!”
“Sadie's two night stay went very positively with this sitter 😊 We had a very good initial meet and greet and felt very comfortable leaving Sadie in their home. I appreciated a couple of updates during her stay and was happy to see her settling in well! Sadie is an older and quieter dog and this sitter provided for her needs very well. I would definitely recommend this sitter based on my experience.”

“Bex was a brilliant cat sitter, Lana loved her and played and cuddled every day (which I saw from the lovely updates Bex sent at every visit) - will definitely use her again! Thank you so much, 10/10!!! ”
“Rebecca was excellent with my very nervous 2 cats. Great communication and updates on how the were getting on. The cats couldn’t have been happier. Thank you so much!! I very highly recommend! 💫”
“Amazing experience! Kat got on extremely well with our cats and really put our minds at ease about being away from home. She sent lovely pictures of each of her visits and you could tell that she really liked the cats and they liked her! Two of our cats require medication and she administered this perfectly. We couldn't be happier!”
“We are new to this area and were anxious about finding someone to look after our two cats, one of which is a very nervous, rescued cat. Our cats are both elderly and have never been in a cattery so we wanted someone to look after them in their own home. Louise visited twice a day while we were away, sending photos each time and the occasional video. She even managed to get the nervous cat to come out from under the chair which is her usual hiding place when anyone else is in our house! She played with the ginger cat and made a fuss of her. Both cats were well and relaxed when we returned home and the house was immaculate with food dishes washed up, water drinking fountains full and litter trays clean. It was so reassuring to see that all was well with the cats and our home. We are so grateful to Louise and will definitely be using her again as we know our cats will be in safe hands and well looked after while we are away. Thank you, Louise.”
“Ellie made our whole experience easy and smooth. Gave regular updates and photos. Followed instructions for all of our cats. Happy to say we have found our new regular cat sitter :0) thank you Ellie your a star ⭐ ”

When we were delayed, they were warm and understanding. I highly recommended them, would definitely use again! Oboe was tired and happy when we collected him. (thank you!)”

About: We are a husband and wife team with a shared love for dogs. As a family of four there is always someone going for a walk and on hand to play and care for your pet, as if it were our own.

At home we have a securely enclosed garden with several mature trees and lots of bushes providing a never-ending supply of squirrels to chase. There are deliberately no flower beds or no-go areas to ruin the fun. Our current pet is the fourth dog we have owned and totals just under 50 years of experience with loving and caring for them. We understand what a beloved member of the family your pet is and why it is essential to find the right care service for them. Fully licensed and insured. Licence Number 114088/25 Now retired we are keen to keep healthy and in the best company - so dog walking and care is a daily joy for my wife Emma and I.

We are set to accommodate your dog and incorporate into our family - ready to return to you with a wagging tail.
“Liz was amazing with our dog. She was really communicative leading up to the time I dropped Nelly off for the day and sent photos and messages throughout the day to let us know how Nelly was getting on. I really felt that Liz understood Nelly and took care of her well. Will definitely ask Liz again, next time we are in the area.”
“I feel so lucky to have found Kerry. Kerry is a wonderful, warm, friendly and dog loving person, who my dog, Oscar, wags his tail vigorously for when I tell him he’s going to spend the day with Kerry and her own dog. Kerry takes fantastic care of Oscar; she has a spacious garden and always updates with me with a photo of their walk. I thoroughly recommend Kerry in every way.”

“Lisa has been fantastic with our dog, Luna. She takes her on walks in really lovely locations, which Luna clearly enjoys, and always makes sure she’s well looked after. It’s reassuring to know Luna is in such caring and capable hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dog walker.”
“Laura did the most amazing job at looking after our Fig!! You can tell how loving and caring she is from the moment you meet her and I felt completely safe and secure leaving our dog with her. Fig unexpectedly came on her first heat the day before she was supposed to be caring for her, and Laura so kindly still took her on. I am beyond grateful! Thank you so much Laura!”
“Anna-Marie and her husband were excellent sitters for Kewpie- their dogs are so well behaved and curious, and their house is beautiful and pet friendly. Kewpie loved her stay (and Anna-Maries’s chicken recipe!) so much and would love to stay again! X”
“Suki was amazing with our 2.5yr old Golden Retriever. He’s going through a stage of humping out of excitement and she dealt with it (and him) really calmly and consistently and kept me up to date throughout the day with photos. He seemed super happy when I picked him up and her home is so calming and lovely - we’ll definitely use her again!”
“Anna, Izzie and their 2 children were amazing with our little girl Honey. They took her on a lovely woodland walk, played with her and gave her lots of cuddles. They have a lovely and secured garden, alongside beautiful walks nearby. They sent some adorable photos throughout the day so I could see what she was getting up to and the adventures she went on. Honey came back so happy and slept peacefully all evening. I would recommend them to anyone and we look forward to using their services again! Thank you 🐾”

When dogs board, I walk them twice a day and happy to do up to 5 miles a day depending on your dog's normal routine.

We live in a small village surrounded by countryside with many walks across fields and through woods, so no need to drive first.

About: I have grown up with animals and although I don’t have my own, good friends do - I spend time around animals and am very comfortable I am based in Holybourne (near Alton) so plenty of open spaces and fresh air. I also have a garden and enjoy long walks. I work from home. I am happy to video call prior to a booking to make sure that both sides are happy with the care. I am a calm considerate person and will take care of your pet as you ask me to.
About: I’ve been a regular dog walker for many years prior to getting my own, and have always had cats so know both species really well! I am about to start my PhD and am very flexible, so can provide lunchtime drop ins or walks, early morning walks, evening walks, or overnight house sitting during the week. I have a fenced garden, and separation gate already in the house to give time out spaces between my own pets. I crate trained my whippet so time outs can be given when play time is over.
About: I have had dogs and horses all me life, and have now made my love for them my life's work. I have worked with many different breeds of dog and with all different ages. I stick to any training routines if there are any and make sure your dog is happy and content day and night. He or she will be like one of the family with me. Caring for animals is my day job. Your dog will not be left alone for more then 4 hours. I do have other commitments such as other dogs to walk and I also work with horses, so i will need to pop out from time to time but i will make sure your dog is content before i leave. I do group dog walks so the dogs will have plenty of playtime and socialisation. However I can also do single dog walks if required. Home visits are also possible for one on one attention in their home comforts. I have a small but secure garden. There are plenty of lovely country walks around me. I have two very friendly intact male dogs who love to play with others. However if your dog is not that way inclined they will not pester.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, I have also had rabbits, Guinea pigs, rats, gerbils, hamsters, chinchillas, degu’s, fish and many other pets. I love animals and want to make sure they are cared for in the best way possible. Caring for pets is now my full time job so i have plenty of time to be dedicating to looking after other people pets . I will treat every animal or home as if it was my own. I will make walks the most enjoyable and have lots of love and cuddles to give. I am very tidy and clean and I like to keep things in order.
About: I have been giving care to dogs and cats on a different platform for 3 years. I have also been helping my family's pets for 10 years. I know and respect the personal space that dogs and cats need, and also entertaining-exercising as they would like :) I get along well with older dogs and cats in particular. They usually feel comfortable with me, even the shy and anxious ones. Essendo un neolaureato sono a completa disposizione per l'estate 2024 tutti i giorni della settimana. Ho un programma di sonno regolare in modo che mi vada bene qualsiasi momento per le pause vasino e le passeggiate come desideri. Mi piace entrare in contatto con il proprietario prima del pet-sit in modo da poter prevedere determinati comportamenti o bisogni che l'animale richiede. Conoscere il carattere del cane o del gatto aiuta davvero prima di prendersene cura. Mi piace usare il loro giocattolo preferito o portarli a spasso nel loro percorso preferito in città.
“Gemma responded quickly to the request for booking and we arranged for a meet up. She turned up on time and got on well with Momo. Very calm and kind to Momo who needs it as he’s highly excitable. Have made repeat bookings- no fuss, clear and reliable.”

“I fully recommend this lovely family to look after your dog. I was so confident that Roxy was in the safest of hands and I think she had a better holiday than I did. It's a good sign that on our return from over 2 weeks away, after saying a warm hello to myself and my wife, she ran back in the house and I honestly think she wouldn't have minded if we turned around and went away again 😂. Look no further if you want a the best loving and professional care of your pet.”
“Rebecca thankfully accepted our dogs stay at short notice. She was so lovely! Very communicative and sent lots of photos. She also didn't bat an eyelid when I picked my boy up a bit worse for wear after a weekend wedding 🙈 or when Cass rolled in cow poo and she had to bath him! We will definitely re book next time we need to go away. Thank you Rebecca and Josh 😊”
“Suki is an absolutely amazing dog sitter I am so delighted to have found her! My two dogs were so happy & relaxed when I collected them. Suki kept me well updated throughout the stay and sent so many cute photos of the girls enjoying their little holiday. Suki’s house is gorgeous and so peaceful, surrounded by beautiful countryside. She is genuinely caring and compassionate to animals and clearly loves what she does, giving them so much attention and love during their stay. I felt so happy while they were with Suki and able to relax properly while away. A wonderful place to take your pet!!”
“Laura's home is now Chilli's second home :) From the moment we met, it was clear that she is incredibly attentive and genuinely cares about dogs. During Chilli's stay, Laura consistently went above and beyond to ensure he was comfortable and happy. She provided regular updates, including pictures and videos, which were a great reassurance and a wonderful way to stay connected to Chilli while we were away. Her home is a perfect environment for dogs, with plenty of space to play and relax. Chilli had a fantastic time and came back home happy and well-cared for. I highly recommend Laura to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. I will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Millie really enjoyed her stay with Gavin and Lexi! She was a bit overwhelmed at the start but Gavin was very kind and patient and helped her feel settled in. Many thanks and highly recommended.”
“Anna and Izzi have been absolutely wonderful with Rosie. They took such kind and attentive care of her, and it’s clear how much they genuinely enjoy having her around. I loved seeing how they took her to different places and gave her little adventures, it really means a lot. They never left her alone and kept me reassured throughout, which made a huge difference. I felt completely at ease and was able to relax while travelling, knowing Rosie was in such safe and caring hands. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone, and I’d be very happy for Rosie to stay with them again.”
“🐾 We are so grateful for the amazing care given to our dog Quattro. This was actually the second time we trusted Terence to look after him (the first being nearly two weeks last August), and once again the experience was outstanding. From the very beginning, communication was excellent and we felt completely reassured leaving Quattro in such kind and capable hands. He was looked after with so much love and attention, and it was clear he was happy, safe, and treated like part of the family. The regular updates really put our minds at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would wholeheartedly recommend Terence to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Quattro again! 🐾”
“Louise lookwd after my shy cocker very well. Ruby came home relaxed and happy from her overnight stay. On this morning's walk ahe wanted to go back to Louise's house so clearly loved being there!”
“Kelly was amazing when she looked after our Dog. She kept us updated daily with photos, videos & messages. It reassured us that he was being looked after and having a great time! Thank you so much Kelly, he had the best time with you and Mabel and we will absolutely book him with you again soon.”
“Sadie's two night stay went very positively with this sitter 😊 We had a very good initial meet and greet and felt very comfortable leaving Sadie in their home. I appreciated a couple of updates during her stay and was happy to see her settling in well! Sadie is an older and quieter dog and this sitter provided for her needs very well. I would definitely recommend this sitter based on my experience.”
“This is the second time Bramble has stayed with Laura, Steve and Lola. He was fantastically looked after and with excellent communication we could see he was having a great time playing with Lola and going on long walks in the woods. Can’t recommend Laura and Steve highly enough. We can travel happily knowing Bramble is having his very own holiday.”
“If Niro could speak, he'd be saying he wants to go back again. Great communication, and updates with photos s. During the stay. He clearly had a great time, and met his new friend Bailey. I can definitely recommend as a sitter if you want your dog liked after.”
“Eve was absolutely wonderful with Poppy and Poppy clearly adored their time together. Eve took the time to understand Poppy's needs and I am so grateful for that. Poppy would be delighted to spend more time with Eve and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!”
“This was Daisy’s first stay away home, but Millie was keen to ensure Daisy’s routine was kept to, regularly updating me on how Daisy was doing. I’m sure Daisy will be very happy to stay again, which is hugely reassuring.”
About: Having grown up with dogs, they've always been a huge part of my life. I currently have a very friendly Labradoodle and spend lots of time outdoors, so your dog will enjoy plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship. Someone is always at home so your dog will always have company with my dog and a human :) I can accommodate long walks of 2+ hours if needed and am happy to tailor activity levels to suit your dog's needs. With plenty of spare time available, I can provide reliable, attentive care and make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Your dog will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout their stay. Having grown up with dogs and owning a friendly Labradoodle myself, I understand the importance of keeping dogs happy, active, and comfortable. I can provide long walks of 2+ hours for energetic dogs, as well as relaxed walks and plenty of playtime for those who prefer a slower pace. Your dog will be treated as part of the family, with lots of affection, supervision, and opportunities to socialise in a safe and positive environment. Your dog's safety and wellbeing are always my top priorities. I will follow your dog's usual routine, feeding schedule, exercise requirements, and any specific instructions you provide. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive interactions.
“Aakanksha has been great looking after Hugo, she kept me updated and sent regular pictures about what he’s doing and how he is and settled in very well. It’s been great experience both for Hugo and myself. I’d definitely recommend Aakanksha and will book her to look after Hugo again!”
“Thanks so much Charlotte! I was a little nervous leaving Bonnie with a sitter for the first time but the whole experience was great and Bonnie seemed very happy in all the updates x”
