About: I had a Siberian husky he was a rescue he passed away a year ago he was 13 1/2. I’ve had Cats my life as well rescued from overseas and give them happy loving homes also ride horses and always been a lover of all animals. I work by flexibly and mainly from Home just one day of the week in the office and the office is very local so I can make short trips back to Home. I also honour my bookings but only booking one dog at a time unless they’re a family of pets that way I can give undivided attention to that specific dog or pet. I have a fence garden and I have quiet zones in the house if your fur baby prefers it and can accommodate crates as well
About: I’m a nurse working bank shifts alongside my passion for animal care. I’ve owned reactive dogs for many years, so I understand the importance of calm handling, patience, routine and being constantly aware of surroundings while out walking. Early 5am quiet walks, off-the-beaten-track trails and avoiding stressful situations for dogs are something I’m very used to. We are a family home with children, so any dogs staying with us would need to be comfortable around children and a normal family environment. I offer gentle, reliable pet care with daily beach walks, peaceful hikes and a focus on making every dog feel safe, relaxed and happy. No other animals in the home. We only have one boarding dog at a time unless dogs come from the same house hols. I will be sole care for the dog during its stay. 5:00am – Quiet early morning walk 6:00am – Breakfast and calm rest time 8:00am – Garden play, enrichment or sniff games 10:00am – Beach walk or quiet countryside hike 12:00pm – Rest and nap time in the home 2:00pm – Toilet break and gentle play 4:00pm – Short afternoon walk or enrichment activities 6:00pm – Dinner time 7:00pm – Family time, cuddles and settling for the evening 9:00pm – Final toilet break and bedtime Our home has a fully enclosed garden and is just a 5 minute walk from the beach, perfect for calm daily walks and outdoor time. We are a relaxed family home with children, so dogs staying with us would need to be comfortable in a family environment. Your dog would not be left alone for long periods and would be treated as part of the family, with plenty of company, care, exercise and quiet time to settle and relax.
“Herbie had a lovely stay with Stuart. He also gave us a couple of updates whilst we were away, which was very reassuring. Herbie came home very relaxed & well brushed. We'll definitely be using Stuart again”
About: I have been dog sitting for the past three years with my girlfriend, using her profile for our bookings. During this time, I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I always make sure the dogs get plenty of attention, playtime, and the exercise they need through walks and active play. I have also lived with two dogs—a Labrador and a German Shepherd—for three months, which gave me great experience with larger, active breeds. My goal is to keep every dog happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently a final year student spending most of my time in house, which gives me plenty of time with your pet. I also enjoy walks and I would love some company, while making sure your dog gets the exercise it needs! I live in the city centre with easy access to several parks, which makes it great for regular walks and outdoor time. When caring for pets in my home or a pet owner’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and a comfortable environment so they feel relaxed and well cared for while their owner is away.

"Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is clean, secure, and dog-friendly, with plenty of space to relax and play. I make sure all hazardous items, foods, and small objects are kept safely out of reach, and dogs are always supervised during play and feeding times.l only accept a limited number of dogs at once so each pet gets individual attention and care.

I also provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

“Jennie took Baxter on short notice during a massive heatwave, and it was our first time away from him. We got daily pictures and videos of Baxter out on his trips with Jennie and Dexter, and he seemed to absolutely love his time there. Baxter has already asked when he can revisit. I'd highly recommend her.”
“Natasha is a top sitter who took amazing care of my two dachshunds! Rolo & Cooper were very relaxed and happy when we collected them from their overnight stay with Natasha & her partner. Their home is beautiful, clean and comfortable. Natasha was patient with them when they didn’t settle straight away and kept in touch to let me know they were happy and calm, which I really appreciated. I would 100% recommend Natasha for sitting services and would definitely re-book ☺️ thank you so much! 5 stars and 10/10! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

“It was such a relief to know our cat Cleo was well looked after while we were away. Cleo really took to Sally and didnt appear to miss us at all! Sally sent us daily updates and photos of her playing and giving her cuddles and headbutts 😄 Will definitley use her services again. Thanks Sally! X”
“Keighley was great! She kept me updated and sent lots of photos. My cat isn’t the friendliest but Keighley looked after him very well and left everything really clean and tidy”
“Kirsty is absolutely amazing with my nervous dog, and very respectful and considerate. I messaged Kirsty first to explain about my dog to see if she is comfortable watching her, and she came for a couple of meet and greets to ensure that my dog is comfortable and happy before Kirsty watched her whilst I was out for the day. She was very attentive to everything I asked of her, and ensured to take notes to make sure that nothing got missed. I loved the photo updates Kirsty sent to me throughout the day and I am so pleased at how quickly my dog became comfortable around her, especially as she does usually take quite a bit of time to warm up to strangers. I am looking forward to asking Kirsty to watch my dog again so I can enjoy a stress free day out, knowing that my dog is in very safe hands!”
“Lorraine was absolutely fantastic whilst looking after my 5 month old kitten! Really prompt in replies and couldnt help enough.. especially when I had to book at short notice. If i could give more than 5 stars i would!”
“Kerry was very engaging before providing services, coming over to meet our cats beforehand. She looked after Anakin and Ahsoka wonderfully keeping us up to date with each visit and tending to their needs. Can highly recommend and will hopefully look to use her services again in the future.”
“We are so glad that we found Chelsea! Jasper loves her and she was kind enough to pop in for a meet and greet before the booking was confirmed. She provided photos and information about her visit with Jasper via the Rover app so we had the peace of mind that everything went well. We will rebook for another drop in visit without hesitation. Thank you Chelsea!”
“We met with Taylor the week before to run through the necessities which was really useful and helped put a face to the name. Our cats who are usually nervous of strangers clearly liked Taylor. We got daily updates with photos which put our mind at ease so we new they were in safe hands. Thank you so much!”
“Ashleigh was really great with Wotsit. She made sure that she knew all his likes and dislikes as well as coming round to meet him before we went away. She is a lovely woman and we will definitely ask her to look after him next time we go away.”
About: I’ve grown up with cats and currently have two of my own, including one that needs regular medication, so I’m confident with both routine care and special requirements. I’m patient, attentive, and understand different cat personalities, and I always aim to care for each cat as if they were my own.
“★★★★★ Flavia has been absolutely amazing! From the moment I left, she kept me updated with constant videos and pictures, which truly put my mind at ease. She not only took incredible care of my cats with so much kindness and attention but also left my home immaculate—despite being a guest herself. This was my first time leaving them after being separated from my partner, and I was quite anxious, but knowing they were in Flavia’s caring hands made all the difference, from the get go. I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter and would trust her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I currently have my own American Bulldog and at 50kg she's very strong on the lead and often not very friendly with other dogs.

I am friendly and reliable and will always put your dog first, i will also keep you updated on what they get up to while your away . Thanks for looking hope to meet you and your dog soon .

“Terri is lovely, nothing is too much trouble, Yogi my 11 week old puppy is not good with being left on his own yet. I contacted Terri on the off chance she would be available to come and sit with Yogi at short notice and she was. As soon as Yogi met Terri he'd found another new friend. I would 100% recommend Terri as a home sitter for anyone's pets and look forward to many more reunions with Yogi”
“Laura was fantastic with our 2 cats. She sent us photos which is great. It was wonderful to find someone to cover Xmas and come early to feed them in the mornings. I highly recommend Laura!”

About: We all love dogs here, and dogs seem to like our relaxed house. We took a large dog that would pull your arm off, treated it like it was our child and it turned into the most loyal friend you could hope for. As myself and my husband work at different times, there is always someone at home to cater to doggie's needs. My husband goes for a walk every evening, and is missing Bruno when he does. We have a large, 30 metres, fenced in garden where dogs are free to play and run and fetch, and poop of course. And they can sleep where they are comfortable.
About: Previously a dog groomer, I'm very confident with young and senior dogs and understand they all have their own quirks and personalities. I work from home 95% of the time and if I'm not here my partner is able to work from home. I have an in tact male French bulldog myself who is super friendly and always looking for new friends. We only house dogs from one household at a time I work from home 95% of the time and have a flexible work pattern. I go for walks with my French bulldog at the best times of the day depending on the weather and time of year. There is normally always someone at home during the week and we spend a lot of time at the weekends out on country walks Fenced garden, big house, pets allowed on the furniture and a french bulldog who is always happy to make some new friends and keep yours company
“Terri is amazing. I left my 12 week Labrador puppy with her for the day and I immediately knew Mabel would be in safe hands in a loving environment. Terri kept me up to date with messages and photos and Mabel had an amazing time. I will definitely have Terri as my first choice next time I need help with caring for Mabel. Thanks Terri”

“Dogs were very happy after a full day with Pauline. it was a perfect way top ensure the dogs were looked after whilst we were doing sight seeing at 'non dog friendly' sights and gave them a rest after visiting many of hampshires sights. Apologies to Pauline if they got a bit excited and pulled too much, for little cavaliers, when they want, they seem to have a lot of strength.”
About: Grew up with a border collie (lots of long walks and training). I recently lost a Romanian Princess (rescue dog) and want to care for other people's beloved pets (cats and dogs) the way I took care of her. I'm working from home full time. This means I can visit in the morning, lunchtime and evening. Alternatively, I could work from your house (WiFi please). I live with my husband (a bigger live of pets than i) and my 2 year old son. My son is at nursery or other childcare during the week. For boarding or day care, your fur baby wouldn't see him during the weekday. However, he knows to "wave hello and give them some space", they are given separate spaces to eat and rest. I can walk your dog on lead or drive them to a safe location for them to be on or off lead. We could do a little training (commands or sniff). Cuddles as wanted by your pet (cat or dog). I find this question tricky because I care for your pets as they need. Each dog or cat are very different in their wants and needs. Due to childcare responsibilities, and to be fair to my partner, I can only house sit for 1 or 2 nights.
About: I'm a dog magnet, they seem to gravitate to me. I love their company and feel a house is not a home without a dog sitting next to me on the sofa. We lost our elderly dog a month ago and he needed a lot of help as he had serious mobility issues. We have 3 cats who are very affectionate. All the animals get the best possible level of care, we give them everything they need to live a healthy and happy life. We live in a lovely house in a perfect location on a footpath opposite a forest.
About: I’ve looked after pets for 23 years, and animals have always been part of my everyday life. I live with Gizmo the pug, my permanent shadow who’s convinced my bed belongs to both of us and two cats who think they run the house. Because of that, I’m used to juggling different temperaments, routines, and a lot of personality. Friends, family, and neighbours have relied on me for walking, feeding, meds, bath time, and keeping their pets calm and comfortable. I notice the small things, keep a steady routine, and treat every dog as if they’re part of my own slightly chaotic, very loved little crew. I’m currently a SAHDM (if you know you know). I was made redundant in November so for the foreseeable my life is solely pet focussed I keep things steady, predictable, and low-stress. In my home, pets settle into a calm routine with regular walks, feeding times, and plenty of company. I have a large, secure garden for safe outdoor time, and Gizmo the pug usually acts as the welcoming committee. I manage introductions carefully so every animal feels comfortable. I supervise closely, keep spaces clean, and make sure each pet has its own quiet area to relax.
About: I’ve helped friends with pet care for years. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime in the garden, or quiet cuddles at home, I’m all about making your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m available for boarding on weekends, and free most weekdays after 2 PM for drop-ins, walks, or house sitting. Whether your pet needs playtime, a walk, or some companionship during the day, I’m happy to help and can adapt to your routine. I keep water bowls full, follow feeding schedules, and make sure pets get plenty of attention and exercise. If I’m hosting pets at my home, I ensure a quiet, calm environment with secure spaces for rest, play, and outdoor time. I treat every pet with patience, respect, and lots of love, just like family.

“Life saver. We contacted Keighley en route to France as family members work arrangements changed and we found ourselves with a huge problem. Fortunately Keighley was able to step in and provide cover to walk and feed the dogs. Without her I think we would have had to cut short our holiday. Absolute life saver, professional and reliable. I cannot thank you enough.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover all my life and have had had the privilege of being both a cat and dog mum. I lived in Dubai for 10 years and this is where I had my first experience of taking in 3 rescue kittens, that I went onto adopt. Then my rescue desert dog, followed by many more. They all returned with me to the UK and lived long and happy lives. I’ve also been a dog walker and cat companion for the RSPCA. Whilst I don’t have my own pets at the moment, we have many in the family that I am called on to look after. I work for myself so am able to run my own diary and I’m able to fit any pet care services around my current responsibilities. Although I don’t currently offer pet boarding services in my own home. I have a fenced garden and internal doors that allow for the front door to be separated from the main living area.
“Abi was a brilliant dog walker for our elderly springer spaniel who we have never left with anyone before. Having met up beforehand we felt reassured that all would go well and Abi was a caring and confident person with dogs. She did a wonderful job and we would definitely recommend her, friendly and reliable. If we ever need help again we’ll be straight in touch! Thanks again Abi!”

“Rubi and Saffi were so excited knowing Natelie was going to take them for a walk each day . A great service and the photos were great knowing our dogs were in safe hands .This is our second time with Natalie and will be recommending her services to others .”
“Katie is a lovely caring person and the way she talks to my dog is fantastic. He loves his walks and is so happy when she comes to visit. It's hard to trust a stranger with your animals but she is just so fantastic with them and walking dogs isn't a job it's a hobby for her.”

All the animals get the best possible level of care, we give them everything they need to live a healthy and happy life. We live in a lovely house in a perfect location on a footpath opposite a forest.
About: I've grown up with cats and love spending time with dogs, and I have sat for owners of both cats and dogs. I love all animals and would be excited to look after all kinds of pets! I adapt well to the pet's needs and personality, allowing them to warm up to me naturally. I will be able to spend lots of time with your pet! I travel frequently to see my partner who lives overseas, so a regular work schedule doesn't suit my needs. That means the flexibility of pet sitting is right up my street, and is my main focus. Apart from a few hobbies, I will be spending all my time at home taking care of your fur baby! I like to learn your pet's routines and keep to them where I can to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet, so I will send messages about how the pets are getting on as frequently as you'd like. Daily pupdates are not too much to ask!
About: I've taken care of all sorts of dogs since a young age. I have owned dogs and trained my own dogs for 20+ years. I'm very caring, approachable and hard working with all kinds of pets. Neighbours, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I have alot of experience and would love to share this with new dogs and owners. I'm currently part time working but have alot of spare time to walk, feed and bathe dogs at short notice. I can provide alot of work and time on your pets on weekends also with 3 days notice given as well as weekdays. Before looking after anyone's pet I highly recommend meeting them first so it's not strange for the pet to meet me on the day. I've spent along time around dogs and have a good working relationship with every dog I meet :). I always treat the home owners property with respect and remain professional at all times. I make sure your pets maintain a structured routine during their sitting on a daily and weekly basis. I can tailor my plans to any pet owner routine and requests. I make sure they feel at ease in the comfort of their own home. Plenty of guidance and meet and greets will be established before hand to ensure the owner and pets are happy. It's important to keep a well structured plan in place so ensure the owners know their peta are in good hands.
About: I’ve been a dog lover since I knew what a dog was. I have always dreamed of having my own dog and since bringing home my own pup, I just want to spend time with dogs, be it walking, spending time with, or a bit of training. I am confident with all breeds, behaviours, and energy levels. I love them all I’m currently working full time from home but due to its flexibility (and a long chat with boss man), I am able to commit to dog walks and drop ins during the day. I am fully flexible at weekends I have a fenced garden with a young German shepherd pup. He is crate trained and has plenty of garden space to run around. We do a lot of enrichment and training throughout the day to work his brain, making walks a bonus to burn off a little energy

“Clare looked after our dog Casper for a night. Excellent communication before and during his stay. His needs were totally met, no easy feat considering he is on a diet trial currently and not allowed anything treats or snacks. Would totally recommend!”
“Thank you Christine for looking after Aggie so well. She was very comfortably upstairs on a bed when we arrived to pick her up! If we come down to the south coast in the future, we will certainly call upon you again.”
“Mia had a great stay with Sophie. Updates throughout the day with photos and videos of her playing, walking and resting. Highly recommended Sophie and I have already booked Mia’s next stay.”
About: I had a Siberian husky he was a rescue he passed away a year ago he was 13 1/2. I’ve had Cats my life as well rescued from overseas and give them happy loving homes also ride horses and always been a lover of all animals. I work by flexibly and mainly from Home just one day of the week in the office and the office is very local so I can make short trips back to Home. I also honour my bookings but only booking one dog at a time unless they’re a family of pets that way I can give undivided attention to that specific dog or pet. I have a fence garden and I have quiet zones in the house if your fur baby prefers it and can accommodate crates as well
About: I’m a nurse working bank shifts alongside my passion for animal care. I’ve owned reactive dogs for many years, so I understand the importance of calm handling, patience, routine and being constantly aware of surroundings while out walking. Early 5am quiet walks, off-the-beaten-track trails and avoiding stressful situations for dogs are something I’m very used to. We are a family home with children, so any dogs staying with us would need to be comfortable around children and a normal family environment. I offer gentle, reliable pet care with daily beach walks, peaceful hikes and a focus on making every dog feel safe, relaxed and happy. No other animals in the home. We only have one boarding dog at a time unless dogs come from the same house hols. I will be sole care for the dog during its stay. 5:00am – Quiet early morning walk 6:00am – Breakfast and calm rest time 8:00am – Garden play, enrichment or sniff games 10:00am – Beach walk or quiet countryside hike 12:00pm – Rest and nap time in the home 2:00pm – Toilet break and gentle play 4:00pm – Short afternoon walk or enrichment activities 6:00pm – Dinner time 7:00pm – Family time, cuddles and settling for the evening 9:00pm – Final toilet break and bedtime Our home has a fully enclosed garden and is just a 5 minute walk from the beach, perfect for calm daily walks and outdoor time. We are a relaxed family home with children, so dogs staying with us would need to be comfortable in a family environment. Your dog would not be left alone for long periods and would be treated as part of the family, with plenty of company, care, exercise and quiet time to settle and relax.
“Sonny seemed happy and relaxed in his surroundings when we collected him. We received regular updates whilst away which were reassuring. Communication was good throughout and we were entirely satisfied that Sonny received all the care and attention he needed. Thank you Kirsty.”
“Jennie took Baxter on short notice during a massive heatwave, and it was our first time away from him. We got daily pictures and videos of Baxter out on his trips with Jennie and Dexter, and he seemed to absolutely love his time there. Baxter has already asked when he can revisit. I'd highly recommend her.”
“Mea and family were very welcoming with Mace and put us at ease straight away! We had regular updates and looked like he had plenty of fun there. Would recommend and use again! Thanks for looking after Mace for us!”
About: I'm more of a cat person; my partner is a huge dog lover. But it doesn't really matter; we both know how to treat an animal with love and respect. I know how stressful and hard it can be to leave your beloved pets with a stranger, so I want to help other pet lovers with the anxiety of going through it. Both my partner and I are working from home, so your animals' needs will never be left unattended. Providing regular check-ups and updates is effortless for me. We live in a three-bedroom animal-friendly house with a fenced garden, a nice park for walks nearby, and a 24/7 personal assistant for your four-legged friends of all shapes and sizes. I have my own cat, but thanks to the invention of doors, keeping the animals separated won't be a problem (not that your animal will ever be locked in a room alone, unless it prefers privacy).
“Charlie was sad to leave when I picked him up and that that says it all! I got regular updates of Charlie was up to whilst I was working and they kept him entertained. Definitely would ask Maria and the family to look after him in a heartbeat.”
About: I’ve helped friends with pet care for years. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime in the garden, or quiet cuddles at home, I’m all about making your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m available for boarding on weekends, and free most weekdays after 2 PM for drop-ins, walks, or house sitting. Whether your pet needs playtime, a walk, or some companionship during the day, I’m happy to help and can adapt to your routine. I keep water bowls full, follow feeding schedules, and make sure pets get plenty of attention and exercise. If I’m hosting pets at my home, I ensure a quiet, calm environment with secure spaces for rest, play, and outdoor time. I treat every pet with patience, respect, and lots of love, just like family.

“Sofia and her Dad Rod were amazing!! They looked after Rocky and Fudge like part of the family. Sofia sent updates and photos. I could not recommend enough. Everything was fab and we were able to enjoy our break knowing the doggies were happy. Highly recommended!”
“Our dog Maggie had a fantastic time with Carlie and her family while we were away on holiday for a week. Maggie seemed to have a great holiday too! She got on really well with Buddie and seemed to miss him when she got home! Carlie is so lovely and will definitely be the first person we contact next time we're away!!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. Growing up with dogs gave me a strong understanding of their behaviour, needs, and personalities, while always having cats has made me confident with independent and more sensitive pets too. I own a nearly 2-year old (*intact male*) Labrador, so am very used to the energy, routine and care that a young dog needs. Over the years, I’ve also looked after and handled family dogs of all sizes and temperaments, so I’m comfortable with everything from energetic walks to calm companionship at home. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while they are with me. I work part-time and am mostly based from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility for time with your furry friends. I’m out every day with my own dog, so regular walks are part of my routine. I do have two young children, so there are school runs to factor in, but I’m available for walks, sitting, and check-ins between 9am and 2:30pm most days. I’m also happy to board friendly dogs over weekends, as long as they’re comfortable around other dogs and children. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority. At home, I have a large, fully fenced garden where dogs can play and explore securely, along with my friendly Labrador who enjoys the company of other dogs. My garden office is open and positioned so I can keep a constant eye on your pet, allowing for regular interaction, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. When caring for pets in their own home, I aim to keep their routine as consistent as possible to help them feel relaxed and settled. I’m respectful of your space, attentive to your pet’s individual needs, and make sure they receive plenty of care, attention, and exercise while you’re away.
