“thank you to Rachael for taking such good care of Lola for three days. Having met her for the first time it was totally clear she is bonkers about dogs! That gave us confidence that our little pup was in safe hands. she sent us videos and kept in touch so we didn’t worry. will be using her again very soon.”
“This was for the first time in 4 years our 2 girls had to stay away from us, so we were a bit worried about how they will manage it. But during the initial meeting they completely fell in love with Jill and Rob and felt like home in their house, putting our minds at rest. Jill was very professional asking all the necessary information she needed, to take the best care for our girls. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing that our beloved girls are in the best hands and will be well looked after. Jill sent us regular updates and photos showing that everything goes very well, and the girls are really enjoying their stay with walks, cuddles and play. Thank you so much Jill and Rob for taking brilliant care of our girls, they will definitely be back! We can warmly recommend Jill’s services to anyone!”
“we left Maisy with Rebekah for two nights. She had never been away from us, and at 4 yrs old, we were a bit anxious as she is prone to being shy! Well, she had a fabulous time, with updates and pictures from Rebekah to reassure us! Maisy really seemed to come out of her shell, loved her walks, and playing with the other dogs, and not displaying any shyness at all! Rebekah said that Maisy is quite a character, so we were really pleased how well she settled in, how confident she was, and would definitely book Maisy to stay with Rebekah again!”
“We’ve picked up a well exercised and content dog From Ying. Communication was great with nice little updates regularly received. All in all a great experience for the dog, and ourselves. Thank you Ying.”
“Thanks, David, for taking such good care of Rolo overnight. We really appreciated the extra effort you made during the heatwave, especially getting up early to walk him before the day warmed up. It was great to receive updates and know he was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. We’d be very happy for Rolo to stay with you again.”
“Angela and her family looked after my dog Captain for the weekend and did an amazing job. He seemed to settle with them well and enjoyed his time with the family. Angela sent over plenty of updates and photos and was really quick to reply to messages. A huge thank you from myself and Captain (aka Pirate)”
“Gizmo is really well looked after each time he stays with Stephen with lots of walks. He is treated as one of the family! I receive regular photo updates and Gizmo is really happy to stay with him. I would whole heartedly recommend Stephen as a sitter!”
“Maria and her partner have looked after benny for a second time whilst we went away for a few days to wales. Again highly recommend great communication kept up to date about any updates being sent photos and videos to show what Benny gets up to he has made a few new friends since being with Maria. 100% top care and top service. Wouldnt have any doubts leaving benny with the lovely family.”
“Monica was excellent with communication and sent plenty of videos so we could see Chester was getting plenty of love and attention. He was certainly tired when he got home.”
“Charlie had a great time with a lovely warm family. He had some lovely walks and lots of cuddles. We received regular updates and he came back very happy. We would highly recommend this sitter :-)”
“Thank you so much for looking after our dogs, kept us updated with photos which was so lovely to see how happy & safe they were with such lovely people. (maybe too happy as scooby stole the last bit of your dinner 🤦🏻♀️) they even took them on a walk as well which is much appreciated. Can’t thank enough🐾”
“Be. Stepped in last minute to have my mums dog Buddy while she had a stint in hospital. Buddy loves cuddles I know Ben made sure he felt safe and secure and made sure he got a decent walk once it had cooled down. Thanks Ben. 🙏”
About: I have a genuine love for animals and share my home with my friendly 5 year old, medium size Cockapoo, Ralph, who loves having canine companions to play with 🐶🐶. Based in Burton, Christchurch, we're perfectly located near beautiful fields, farms, the forest, and the beach, providing plenty of variety for fun, enriching walks to suit every dog. Whist at home, your pet will also have access to a fully enclosed, secure rear garden where they can safely relax and play between adventures. I provide a caring, home from home environment where your dog will receive lots of attention, exercise, and affection while you're away. If your pet prefers a single pet environment, we’ve got you covered. I keep my own dog Ralph, with me every other week, which leaves plenty of space for animals that prefer no other pets around. Please ensure to include this in your enquiry and i will be able to advise the weeks this is possible. I work fully from home during the week, offering flexibility with both drop off and collection times. During the week I typically walk my dog in the morning and afternoon, but flexible to cater to your pets needs equally. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home offers a spacious downstairs area where dogs are free to relax and feel at home, along with a fully enclosed, secure rear garden for safe outdoor play and toilet breaks. I only care for a small number of dogs at a time, allowing me to give each one plenty of attention, supervision, and care. My own friendly Cockapoo, Ralph, also provides a calm and sociable companion for dogs who enjoy the company of others.
“Coco came home happy, relaxed, and probably wondering when he gets to visit Hanna again! 😄 Great communication, plenty of updates, and fantastic care throughout. Highly recommend!”
“Hector had the best time with Matt and Teddy. Matt was quick to respond and flexible to our travel plans. We got lots of photo and video updates. Would 100% recommend!”
“Absolutely great! Gayle understands long dogs and I think my rescue girlie loves her as much as Gayle loves her. My dog has separation anxiety and behavioural problems from her previous home, so it's a great result as it's the first time she has needed to stay overnight and the following day away from home. She got lots of cuddles and walks in the local woods and Gayle sent lots of pictures during the stay. Everybody happy, and I'll have no hesitation about taking my dog to Gayle again.”
“Jenny's family was amazing taking care of our dog. We have got pictures constantly of Bluey, and he was happy making new friends. Already spoken for next time when we will use her services. Thank you”
“Andy's awesome at what he does. I left Dukey with him for a week and then again for a night, lots of cuddles and updates throughout the day. He also makes sure to provide reassurance where needed instead of making it a panic situation overall if your pet feels a bit off, will definitely book again for Dukey!!”

“Rachel has been amazing with our old lady Cookie. She sent twice daily updates and photos and clearly Cookie loved her. Loved hearing about her on the updates, it made it feel very personal and special. Our plants watered and even fed our birds and squirrels in the garden. It's been a godsend to be able to go away and not worry about leaving her. Thank you Rachel 🥰”
“Peter took good care of my cat, and sent daily updates and lots of photos as requested. I returned home to a happy cat. I would be happy to have Peter take care of Rolo again and reccomend him to others. ”
“Marsha clearly has an affinity to dogs and our two pups obviously loved her too. Very pleased to have found her. Not only were dogs happy but Marsha kept our home clean and tidy. Her communication is excellent. We recommend her most highly.”
“Ellie was a great help to us checking in for feeding and letting our pets out the house while we were away. She kindly came round to meet us before and see where everything was kept etc. She is clearly very experienced and confident with all aspects of animal care and I would highly recommend her. Her communication was good and she was prepared to step in with further help should our flight had been delayed by snow and bad weather. Thanks Ellie!”
About: As part of my house sitting, I've looked after many cats of different breeds and ages, I'm not really one to just pick up your cat, I tend to let them come to me. I'm unusually warm to the touch (so I'm told by humans) and the cats love it, once they settle on my lap, they tend to stay there. One sit in the summer of 2026 even had a cat called Lily with it's own Insta account.
About: I’m very experienced with cats and love to be in their company. I work full time as a vet surgeon so I am mostly available at weekends but if you need morning and evening drop ins then I can work this around my hours!
“I’m really pleased with the care Anya provided while I was away. She looked after my cats and chickens wonderfully and gave me great peace of mind. She went above and beyond — even removing ticks from my cat — and I came home to a clean and tidy house, which was a lovely bonus. I’d happily recommend Anya to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and I would definitely use her again.”
About: I have been pet and house sitting part-time since 2016, and in February 2023 started doing it full-time. I have looked after a number of cats, including a 4-month-old excitable and loving kitten, through to a very elderly cat requiring administration of oral medication. Also, I have looked after a variety of both indoor and outdoor cats. I ensure I understand the needs of the cat(s) I am looking after and follow their routines closely, to give consistency. I understand the importance of a cat staying clean and clean their litter trays regularly to help with this. Where the cats require some play time, I am able to provide this, as well as snuggles for those more loving felines.
“We are very grateful to the lovely Venezia for taking care of our spicy chihuahua Ghost at very short notice.She was so friendly at our meet and greet and put us all at ease.Ghost can be nervous around new people but took quickly to her warm and patient personality, she really took the time to understand his needs and quirks.It was so nice seeing their bond develop through her regular updates and photos of Ghost happy playing and relaxed.She also looked after our birds too and did a fantastic job. Venezia is proffesional, friendly, trustworthy and definately hope to book with her again when we go away. Thankyou 💚”
“Rachelle was super lovely, our lovely kitty was well looked after with lots of treats and brushes. We booked with Rochelle last minute after being let down by a friend and she was very accommodating. It was nice to come home to a clean litter tray and and a happy cat. 100% recommend, it was lovely to get daily videos and pictures :)”
“From the moment we contacted Klaudia to look after our kitten she was accommodating to our dates and times around the Christmas holidays. We had left it last minute, so it was a huge relief, especially as it's our first pet and it was a new situation for us. Klaudia kindly came to visit before the first booking to meet Earl, and I could immediately tell she was kind hearted and cared about animals. Klaudia went above and beyond for us and we will contact her every time we are away, don't hesitate to book her to look after your furry family!”

“My cat is very anxious so it was very reassuring to have a quiet, calm person such as Maria looking after her. This is our first time using a sitter/drop in and I'm very keen to have Maria back again later in the New Year. It was lovely to get all the feedback and photos from her too. Very reassuring when you are a long way from home. Thanks Maria.”

I live in the heart of the New Forest, where I spend every day exercising and enjoying the outdoors with my two retired Fire Service dogs, who are now much-loved family pets.

Whether you need overnight care, extended pet sitting, or regular companionship for your dog, you can be confident they will receive experienced, compassionate, and professional care in a safe and trusted environment. Having retired from the fire service and being the owner of 2 pet dogs living in the heart of the New Forest I spend every day out and about in the fresh air with my beloved k9 companions.

“Winnie had a fun day with Rachael. What with the doggie paddling pool, exciting toys to play with and another furry friend there, she was well entertained! Rachael is very attentive and caring, making sure our busy pooch didn't overdo it and had breaks/rest on what was a very hot day. She sent us photo's to let us know how Winnie was getting on which was really reassuring. We would highly recommend Rachael.”
“Amazing love fun and carr provided by Matt for our little bundle of joy was so happy to see and hear how well she got on with teddy would definitely recommend Matt to anyone who needs dog care which will be stress free and no hassle he is truly amazing and lola loved her day 😊”
“Such a lovely dog sitter and so accommodating at such short notice. Roxy had the best time with lots of walks and cuddles. Would definitely recommend and use again. Thank you Karen.”
“A huge thanks for looking after Charlie the tennis-ball crazed Collie! He clearly settled really well with you and it’s nice to feel less guilty when knowing that he’ll get some real quality time (including falling asleep on you!). Thanks for accommodating early starts too … really helpful. He will have enjoyed plodding in different areas. We’re lucky to have some open green spaces for the four-legged friends. Good luck on travels. Will look to rebook on your return.”
“Hetty was absolutely fine with Stephen. He seemed very capable and used to looking after a number of dogs. Having three to walk today. We had only left our dog Hetty with one other person before. I would happily leave our little cocker spaniel with him again. Thanks Stephen.”
“I’m not sure my dog wanted to come home! Blossom had a smashing time with Laura and her dog. She was exhausted when I took her home and has definitely made new friends. Laura stayed in touch during the day and sent me a video of Blossom doing zoomies! I’d definitely recommend. Thank you Laura.”
“Very happy with the care given to Bella, who had a great day playing with their lovely puppy and son. Will be very happy to ask for their help again. Their knowledge and dog handling skills were evident. Exe@ent service. Thank you.”
“We feel incredibly lucky to have found Gabby. Our 5 month old pup hadn’t been left before and suffers with separation anxiety. Well… you would be able to tell this when he’s with Gabby and her gorgeous dog Ralph. Gabby is very in tune to his needs such as how much stimulation/play he needs and at his age, his teething needs and anticipating his toileting. Gabby writes up notes on how the day went and sends photo updates which is very lovely to receive especially when leaving your dog for the first few times. Gabby’s house is so well set up for doggy daycare, secure and playful with plenty of cosy spaces to rest. What lucky dogs! Thank you Gabby for taking such good care of our boy ?”
“Jaffa loves her visits with Alexis and always comes home tired from all her fun. Coco has been very patient with our puppy and teaching her how to play nicely with other dogs. Alexis keeps us well informed throughout the day of what Jaffa has been up to with pictures and what their walks looks like. She also listens to all our routines and asks and is very flexible with timings due to work commitments. We will 100% be using Alexis in future, thanks so much for your help so far :)”
“Guoda was great! Agreed to help out with my puppy with only a couple of hours notice. You could tell Guoda loves animals instantly with the way she was meeting Skye which gave me a lot of reassurance. I was updated throughout the day with messages and pictures. Will definitely be back to use Guoda again🥰”
“I left my dog Merlin with Sammy for the day yesterday. She welcomed him into her home and put him at ease. I felt relaxed leaving him, knowing that he was being well looked after. I would highly recommend Sammy”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since a very young age. Had them always around me and was responsible for both family and neighbours pets. Able to keep them calm and content. I work remotely from home in a relaxed environment, which means I’m able to give animals plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m home most of the time and can easily adapt my schedule to suit your pet’s routine, making me very flexible and reliable for ongoing care. I live in a spacious one-bedroom apartment in a well-maintained building. There’s a large private terrace, a communal garden ideal for short walks, and a large park just outside—perfect for exercise, play, and fresh air.
About: I have grown up around animals and have owned a variety. I’ve had the likes of dogs, hamsters and guinea pigs just to name a few. Most recently I have owned a pug and currently live with a golden retriever. I have a lot of knowledge about flat faced breeds and know how to best care for them. Equally I have a lot of knowledge around other breeds particularly smaller ones. I have looked after friends and my families dogs when they have gone away. I have the ability to go to their houses so that their dogs stay in their own environment that’s familiar. I have also had dogs come and stay with me too. I regularly look after my friends dog when she goes to work making sure that her dog is well looked after. I have a lot of free time at the moment being in between jobs so am very flexible with my availability. I will work around what’s best for you and your pet. I will care for your pet as if it was my own. At my house dogs are allowed on the furniture and on the beds so they can have a proper cuddle. I have three beds in the house with room for their own bed if required. I have a fully enclosed garden with a 7ft fence. I also have an open field across the road and a woodlands the other side with running water. I will make sure to feed your dog as many times as needed throughout the time they are with me. There are two fresh water bowls throughout the house and one in the back garden as well so that there is always access to water. I usually keep my back door open throughout the summer time so that Olive (my friends dog) can go in and out when she pleases, as well as her swimming pool under the shade of a giant canopy. If you would like me to sit in your own home I will treat it with the upmost respect. I like to keep things clean and tidy and will leave your home as I came into it. Leave no trace.
About: I believe in providing customised care that makes every pet feel safe, happy, and loved in a home environment. My approach is defined by my special skills and dedication to peace of mind for pet parents: Customised Care: I make an effort to understand a pet's unique personality and energy level to create a personalised routine that goes beyond a standard walk or feeding. Tidy Home Guarantee: I will always clean up after every visit, ensuring your home is left just as I found it. Specialised Skills: I am experienced with puppy training on basic commands and comfortable with the specific needs of senior pets, including oral medication administration and managing slower paces. Reliable Communication: I provide regular, detailed updates with photos and videos to give you complete peace of mind while you're away. I now work part-time, so my availability is a little more limited, but I still love spending my free time caring for pets. I’ll always be upfront about my availability and work with you to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. When I’m with your pet, they’ll have my full attention, with plenty of walks, care and cuddles. I do not offer pet care in my own home. All of my services are provided in the pet owner's home, which I believe is the best environment for any animal. My priority is to ensure your pet remains comfortable and stress-free in their own familiar surroundings, with their routine completely uninterrupted. I take my responsibility to look after your home just as seriously as I do your pet. Having sat for dogs and cats all over the Dorset and Hampshire region, you can trust that I am a reliable and respectful presence in your personal space.

I’m also reliable, responsible and security-conscious, and can provide dependable house sitting that gives owners peace of mind while they’re away, including maintaining a visible on-site presence to help deter opportunistic burglary. Available any time to provide pet services, including walking, sitting, or anything else! Extended availability mid-week to cater for busy professionals who need extra support for their pets during commuting or business hours Will follow established routines and protocols for your pet whilst in their home environment, to ensure no behavioural disruption and keep them happy. Walk discipline maintained per owners instruction, equally capable on or off lead

That gave us confidence that our little pup was in safe hands. she sent us videos and kept in touch so we didn’t worry. will be using her again very soon.”
“Angela and her family looked after my dog Captain for the weekend and did an amazing job. He seemed to settle with them well and enjoyed his time with the family.

About: I have a genuine love for animals and share my home with my friendly 5 year old, medium size Cockapoo, Ralph, who loves having canine companions to play with 🐶🐶. Based in Burton, Christchurch, we're perfectly located near beautiful fields, farms, the forest, and the beach, providing plenty of variety for fun, enriching walks to suit every dog. Whist at home, your pet will also have access to a fully enclosed, secure rear garden where they can safely relax and play between adventures. I provide a caring, home from home environment where your dog will receive lots of attention, exercise, and affection while you're away. If your pet prefers a single pet environment, we’ve got you covered. I keep my own dog Ralph, with me every other week, which leaves plenty of space for animals that prefer no other pets around. Please ensure to include this in your enquiry and i will be able to advise the weeks this is possible. I work fully from home during the week, offering flexibility with both drop off and collection times. During the week I typically walk my dog in the morning and afternoon, but flexible to cater to your pets needs equally. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home offers a spacious downstairs area where dogs are free to relax and feel at home, along with a fully enclosed, secure rear garden for safe outdoor play and toilet breaks. I only care for a small number of dogs at a time, allowing me to give each one plenty of attention, supervision, and care. My own friendly Cockapoo, Ralph, also provides a calm and sociable companion for dogs who enjoy the company of others.
“Shadia took such great care of our cockapoo, Rory! She was excellent at communicating before and throughout the booking - we got regular updates, photos, and videos which really put our minds at ease. Rory clearly had a fantastic time with Shadia’s lovely family and their sweet dog Skye. It was especially reassuring to know that Shadia was thoughtful and attentive during the heatwave, making sure Rory stayed safe and comfortable. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
“Hector had the best time with Matt and Teddy. Matt was quick to respond and flexible to our travel plans. We got lots of photo and video updates. Would 100% recommend!”
“Absolutely great! Gayle understands long dogs and I think my rescue girlie loves her as much as Gayle loves her. My dog has separation anxiety and behavioural problems from her previous home, so it's a great result as it's the first time she has needed to stay overnight and the following day away from home. She got lots of cuddles and walks in the local woods and Gayle sent lots of pictures during the stay. Everybody happy, and I'll have no hesitation about taking my dog to Gayle again.”
“Jenny's family was amazing taking care of our dog. We have got pictures constantly of Bluey, and he was happy making new friends. Already spoken for next time when we will use her services. Thank you”
“can’t thank enough for looking after my two dogs, they had a great holiday, I was kept updated the whole time with plenty of photos so always reassured they were happy, safe & having fun with your dog Zekke. Even took them out for walks too which is very much appreciated. thank you again 🐾😊”
“Jasmine made Bruce feel very much at home, taking utmost care to help him settle in. He was treated like one of the family and we could see from the photos that he was having a great time. Thank you so much …!”
“I hadn't left Buddy before apart from with family so was a bit apprehensive, I needn't have worried as we struck gold with Alexis! She kept me upto date with msgs, photos and videos of Buddy's stay with her and I could see he was very happy. I cannot recommend Alexis enough, she was awesome and we will definitely be seeing her again.”
“Sophie was able to help out last minute after being let down. From start to finish the whole experience was great. Replies were prompt, with fair prices and I was very happy with the way Odin settled in straight away. I was kept up to date with check ins over the booking period and would friendly has again when needed.”
“Mabel recently stayed with Joanne and her family. I sent her packing (a little nervous due to it being my first rover) and with a million warnings about what she MIGHT do! 🤣 Turns out Mabel was an absolute dream so they must have been brilliant at looking after her. I had regular updates and pictures. Timings were sorted out easily and we kept in touch via Whatsapp. Joanne has a really secure garden - which made me feel so much more comfortable leaving her there. It felt like a home from home setting. I have two children of my own and Joanne's two seemed to love her as much as her own. They were super excited to have her. She was allowed upstairs and just slipped into their family life. She had plenty of walks and was fed well. I wouldn't hesitate at using Jo again! Thanks guys! 🐾🐾”
