“Minnie absolutely loved her stay with Amanda. Beautiful garden for dogs and Amanda is very kind and loving towards dogs. Would fully recommend her and will definitely be using her again. Thank you xx”
About: As a dog owner and previous cat owner myself, I know our pets are family to us. I would treat yours like my own. I'm in my 50s so have decades of experience with pets, including training. I work from home and have a large garden near Staunton country park and lots of green areas. I would need to meet you and your furry friend before taking the booking so you can inform me on your routine and requirements. I would only take one booking at a time so your pet gets 100% of my attention. I work full time from home and take the weekends off. I am self employed so I am flexible with timings for walks, feeding, toilet breaks, etc. I have a large enclosed garden that is bricked fence and safe. My Cocker Spaniel lives with me. He is very friendly, follows me or sits under my desk. I feed him twice a day and walk regularly. It would be helpful if your dog is dog friendly although I can possibly get a sitter for my dog if yours isn't.
“Michaela and family did a great job looking after our nervous labrador. Our dog was so relaxed when we collected her she walked back in Mechaela's house rather than leave with me! We had lots of photos throughout our dogs stay so we could see she was happy and relaxed.”
“I can’t thank Emma enough for having Chester, regular updates and photos of his little stay away! And at short notice was able to extend his stay! Highly recommended! Thank you so much! Look forward to you having him again! Xx”
“A great sitter from the very first contact. Charlie loved his time and was made to feel at home as soon as he stepped foot in the door. We had regular updates with photos and videos which put us at ease and gave increased confidence our boy was being looked after. Looking forward to the next stay with you.”
“Buddy has just got back from the most wonderful stay, where he was treated like one of their own. Murray and his wife sent lots of pictures and made sure Buddy had some lovely walks. He was so content from all his pictures and I will definitely be booking again.”
About: Animals have always been a very important part of my life, especially dogs. I grew up with Spaniels and have developed a good understanding of the care, attention and commitment they need at every stage of life — from energetic puppies to older dogs needing extra patience and support. Over the past few years, I have been providing local dog day care, boarding and walking services, and I absolutely love what I do. Caring for dogs is something I’m truly passionate about, and I take great pride in providing a safe, happy and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for. I work from home so there is always company for your dog. I take our Spaniel out twice a day and offer walks tailored to suit your dog’s individual needs, whether they enjoy a gentle stroll, an energetic adventure, or something in between. I have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely explore, relax and enjoy some outdoor time at their own pace. My home is open and welcoming, giving dogs the freedom to settle where they feel most comfortable and feel truly part of the family while they are in my care.
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).
“We left Winston with Samuel and his lovely family for 3 days whilst we travelled across the country. We are overwhelmed with the kind loving home from home provided for Winston whilst we were away. He was amazingly looked after, Had walkies, cuddles and we received lots of beautiful pictures of Winnie living his best life 😂 100% 5⭐'s from a very happy doggy dad.”
“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: Wagworth's Dog Care: I am dog mad, having loved them since I was little. I specialise in looking after puppies and elderly dogs who often need a bit more care and attention. I have owned several dogs myself and I currently have a very friendly 3 year old Border Terrier / Poodle mix named Bertie and a Jack Russel Terrier mix puppy called Bailey. I love animals of all shapes and sizes and look forward to meeting yours! I work from home so can accommodate walks and dog sitting flexibly. I spend most of my weekends with my dogs out on long walks along the coast or on the Downs. I have a fenced garden and my own dogs to keep yours company. I have a car and it is a short distance from my house to great walks along the beach or in fields.
About: Myself and my husband Liam offer a safe, loving family home for dogs who enjoy being around people. We have one friendly Jack Russell Terrier and two young children (both under 5), so any dogs staying with us must be comfortable around young children and other small dogs. I've recently been made redundant from work so I am home all week. Your dog will be treated as part of the family. We have a large, fully secure garden for playtime, with beautiful fields and woodland walks nearby, meaning plenty of exercise and enrichment tailored to your dog's needs. We understand that every dog has their own routine, so we'll happily follow your feeding, walking, sleeping and medication schedule to help them feel settled and comfortable. Dogs are welcome on the sofa if that's what they're used to at home, we want them to feel as relaxed as possible. We'll also keep you updated during their stay with photos and messages if you'd like, so you can see how much fun they're having. We're happy to arrange a meet-and-greet or a walk beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable before booking. We look forward to welcoming your dog into our family while you're away! 🐾 I'm at home for most of the day, only leaving briefly for school runs or the occasional food shop. At weekends we're home all day, and while we have dogs staying with us we don't make other plans. Our focus is on giving them plenty of attention, companionship and exercise. Your dog will enjoy lots of interaction, regular walks, playtime and a relaxed family environment throughout their stay. Your dog's safety and happiness are our top priorities. We have a large, fully secure garden where they can play safely, along with nearby fields and woodland walks for daily exercise. We have one friendly Jack Russell Terrier and two young children, so we only accept dogs that are comfortable around both. We'll follow your dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, medication and sleeping arrangements, to help them feel at home. Dogs are welcome on the sofa if that's what they're used to, and if preferred, we're happy to arrange a meet-and-greet or walk before their stay. We'll also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your dog is in safe hands. To help provide the safest possible environment, I have completed a Dogs Trust course focused on dog safety around children. The training has given me a better understanding of dog body language, safe interactions between dogs and young children, and how to create a positive, stress-free environment for everyone. While all interactions are always supervised, this additional training gives me confidence in helping dogs and children live together safely and happily.
“Nasima was fantastic and Yuka loved his stay with her. He came home absolutely shattered. Nasima was very caring and loving to Yuka. It is clear to see how much she loves animals. I would most certainly recommend her and we will definitely be using her services again.”
“Claire and her family are great hosts for your pet. Children played a lot with Pongo and they did different walks and activities. We found Pongo happy and relaxed when we picked him up after several days.”

Only thing is by the time you're back, I will love your pets just as much as you!

About: We’re a trustworthy, animal-loving couple with years of hands-on experience caring for our own pets. We’ve both previously owned dogs and currently share our home with three cats, so we understand the responsibility, patience, and attention that pets need to thrive. We understand that every pet is unique and deserves patience, kindness, and reliable care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter environment, we will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. We are both attentive to routines, follow instructions carefully, and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Our goal is to treat every pet as if they are our own and provide a positive, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I currently work part time with flexible hours and Jake works from home so there will always be at least one of us home at all time if not both of us. We’re lucky enough to have a great-sized, fully fenced and secure garden, as well as a spacious home. We welcome pets onto our sofa and furniture, so they can feel relaxed and at home during their stay. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are our top priorities. We understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and we treat every animal with the same care, love, and attention that we give our own pets. We always follow owners’ instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medication, and daily routines to help pets feel safe, secure, and comfortable while in our care.

We would definitely recommend Alex. Marvin is hoping to seeing you again soon.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10 – from energetic puppies to calm seniors. Neighbours, friends, and family have always relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their pets when they’re away, and I’ve loved every minute of it! What sets me apart is my small-scale approach: I only ever take one (or max two friendly) dog at a time, so your pup gets my full attention, plenty of play in a secure garden, cosy home comforts, regular walks, and lots of cuddles. I’ll send daily photos and updates to keep you smiling while you’re away. I’m patient, responsible and treat every dog like my own. Let’s do a free meet-and-greet so we all feel comfy – I can’t wait to meet your four-legged friend! 🐶 I’m working part-time from home, so I’m available all day on weekdays (from the morning onward) and fully flexible on weekends for boarding, day care, walks, and playtime. This means I can give your pup constant attention, regular outings, and plenty of cuddles without any rush – perfect for relaxed, personalised care. Whether it’s an early drop-off or a full day at home, I’m here and ready! Just let me know what works best for you and your dog 🐶 care for dogs in my cosy, secure home in Emsworth – a quiet, fenced garden for safe play and exercise, plus comfy indoor spaces with beds, toys, and plenty of room to relax. I keep numbers small (usually one dog at a time, max two friendly ones) so everyone gets individual attention and no overcrowding. Safety is top priority: fully vaccinated dogs only, secure gates/doors, no toxic plants/foods around, and I supervise closely (especially with my work-from-home setup). I do free meet-and-greets first to check compatibility, ask about routines/behaviors, and build trust. Daily photo updates keep owners in the loop – your pup will feel right at home! 😊
“Megan is just the loveliest person. She clearly adore’s the dogs in her care and it shows. Loki-Bear had his second day care stay today and he was so happy to go off — a huge relief because he’s usually a very anxious boy. I can already see a lovely bond building. Couldn’t recommend Megan more!””

“James has been great with my two dogs, one of which is blind and the other is a typical terrier! He always arrives on time and the app shows me the route they have taken and gives updates about toileting etc. I can’t praise him enough, thanks James 😊”
“Victoria really helped us out, it was a last minute booking because someone let us down. Luna loves her walks and she was very happy when we came home. I got some good photos of her on her walks so I knew she was having fun and Victoria always sent me a message in the evening to let me know how her walks had gone that day. She was very professional and kept me informed the whole time. I would definitely contact Victoria to look after Luna in the future.”
“Amelie is a dedicated, extremely organised dog walker with a caring sensitivity to dogs of all sizes. She set up a pre-walk meet to put me and my hounds ant ease and noted all the personal needs of each of my large (30kg each) Labradoodles. This put me at ease too, as I had not left my dogs before with anyone. She was easily contactable, fast to respond and had excellent time keeping. I would highly recommend Amelie’s dog walking/ sitting services to anyone and will look to book her again.”
“Karen only walks one dog at a time, so my dog Peggy has her full attention and I never have to worry she is with big dogs that she is sometimes scared of. At our meet and greet, she asked lots of questions about Peggy's likes and dislikes which was great. Karen is a reliable dog lover, she sends lots of pictures of my dog enjoying her walks, even on a half hour walk. I will definitely be booking Karen on a regular basis, she is the dog loving walker I can trust, and peggy loves.”
“Lara did a drop-in visit for our dogs, Benson and Frankie, on Christmas Day, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. She went the extra mile to make sure they were comfortable and well looked after both before and after their walk. She even hid treats around the house for them to find after she’d left, which was such a thoughtful touch. When we were unexpectedly delayed later that evening, we reached out on very short notice, and Lara immediately stepped in to help without hesitation. She is proactive, attentive, and genuinely cares about the dogs’ wellbeing. Lara is trustworthy, reliable, and someone you can absolutely count on — we’re so grateful for her support. Lara is a super star!”
About: I've had dogs since I was 14. We had a out first dog, a westie called Bonnie who came on all of our camping trips and Sunday hikes. We gave her as much love and attention as we could throughout her life. Since then we have has different breeds of dogs within our family and have learnt so much about them overs the years, including basic training and learning their personality traits. I have recently quit my technical job in order to become a full time dogwalker/trainer and hope to be able to train shelter dogs in order to be rehomed. I am a full time self employed dog walker, currently accepting bookings mon-friday 8am - 6pm. I have my own car and can travel within 5 miles of Havant. I will try and stay local with dogs if I can. Or drive to a nearby forest/field to allow the dog, the exercise and enrichment they need. With home visits, I'll firstly greet the dog, check food and water levels and allow wee break straight away, whether its in a garden or an outside walk. If food is low, i will replace according to owner instructions. If water low or dirty, I'll clean the bowl and refill.
“I have a fear reactive GSD. Victoria was calm and confident when dealing with her and was able to gain her trust very quickly and was soon able to get her to engage in play and respond to commands. I will definitely be using Victoria again”
About: Hi I'm Liz and I bring structure, safety, and a genuine love of animals to every walk. I am currently studying for my professional dog training accreditation, balancing my passion for canine behavior with the equally busy job of raising a toddler! With over 20 years of experience—ranging from Staffies to Shepherds—I understand that every dog is an individual. Whether it’s a structured group walk, a 1-2-1 training session, or looking after your pet cats (a service I’ve proudly provided for over a decade), your pets are in safe, loving, and highly capable hands. My current schedule offers plenty of flexibility, meaning I can often accommodate visits at the times that work best for you and your pets.

Whether I’m visiting your cat or dog, I apply my professional training background to ensure a low-stress, high-security environment. In Your Home: I maintain your pet’s routine to keep anxiety low. For cat visits and puppy pop-ins, I ensure all doors and gates are secure, food/water is fresh, and your home is left exactly as I found it. On the Lead: I use modern, force-free equipment and keep a watchful eye on body language. I choose walking environments that suit your dog’s temperament—avoiding over-stimulating areas for nervous pups and finding the best sniff-spots for the energetic ones. Travel & Transport: Your pets are transported safely and comfortably, with climate control and secure restraints as a priority. Health & Hygiene: I use eco-friendly waste bags and ensure all equipment is cleaned regularly to prevent the spread of germs. Emergency Ready: Fully insured and trained to spot the subtle signs of heat stress or anxiety before they become a problem.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and have always played a hands-on role in their care, which has given me a strong understanding of their needs and behaviours. For the past year and 10 months, I’ve worked in a farm-based school where I’ve been responsible for caring for a wide range of animals, including livestock. This experience has made me confident, calm, and capable when working with different types of animals. I’m confident with all dogs and cats, and their wellbeing is always my top priority. I treat every animal with the love, patience, and respect they deserve, and pride myself on being a reliable and trustworthy caregiver. I’m also an active person, so I genuinely enjoy dog walks just as much as the dogs do! Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to adapt to suit their needs. I’m currently working part-time, and so I have consistent availability on Mondays and Fridays. I can drive to various pet owners’ houses per day. I’m available to feed, walk, play with, and relax alongside your pets, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for at all times. I have a strong understanding of animals’ needs and always put their wellbeing first, providing attentive and compassionate care tailored to each individual pet.
About: I have been the primary caregiver for my two family dogs for around 5 years now and have provided walks and drop-ins/visits for the dog’s of professional clients, family, and friends. I have experience in caring for all age stages from puppies to senior dogs so I know what to expect and how to adapt my care. This means you don’t need to warn me about puppy biting or feel embarrassed about teenage rebellion and you can trust me to consider the specific needs of each and every dog I care for. I volunteer as an assistant trainer (gun-dogs and scent work) so encounter a variety of different dogs and owners. In addition, I am more than happy to work on and reinforce your dog’s training whilst they’re in my care. I have an active lifestyle and don’t mind being outdoors in all weather so you can count on me for reliable, full and proper walks come rain or shine. I won’t let poor weather compromise your pups fun! I am a university student and have finished my first year. I am going back to university late September and will give plenty of notice to clients when I receive my new timetable. I plan to continue providing walks and drop-in’s throughout my time at uni and beyond. I have a kind and ethical approach to caring for pets. In addition, I will keep your dog safe and happy with my knowledge on dog body language and with my rule of only walking dogs from the same household together. I don’t do big pack walks so that I can pay special attention to each and every dog I care for. I also offer drop-in visits (30-60 minutes) and house sits (all day). Please note that I do not offer overnight stays as part of my house sits, and you should instead book house sits when you need me to care for your pets for an extended time during the day. Importantly, I will be respectful of your home and keep it as I found it.
About: I have always owned dogs, specifically Border collies, Labradors and Boradors which have been beautiful, well-behaved dogs to be around and work with. I currently have a 6 month old Borador puppy called Cody who is also very well behaved and very friendly with children and other dogs of all sizes. I am very active, love the outdoors, and adore taking dogs on lots of different adventures! Despite having a puppy at the moment. I have cared for dogs of all ages and needs and am use to managing different behaviours, temperaments, personalities and needs. I am currently working part-time and my schedule is very flexible throughout the week. I can work around what you need and when you need it. I currently have a well-trained Borador puppy called Cody who is crate trained and use to a routine. We take him on 3 walks a day. Cody also comes on runs with me as he is very good off lead. However, he is a high energy dog who needs this. I am aware that other dogs do not need this much exercise and can tailor the exercise amount for your dog. We treat the dogs in our home like our family however we are able to keep up with boundaries and training you have set in place.

If they have a routine I will do my absolute best to adhere to this.

About: Fun, trustworthy sitter, rescue volunteer, great with anxious pets, puppies and seniors, used to working in homes around animals, creating relaxed, happy, and safe memorable moments As a self employed business owner, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritise pet care throughout my day and week. Animals are naturally part of my routine, whether volunteering with rescue dogs or simply spending time visiting local wildlife. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, so providing care never feels like a task, but a natural and rewarding part of my everyday life I understand how important trust is, having relied on sitters for my own cat who needed gentle, low-stress care. This is the standard of care I provide helping your pet feel right at home while following their usual routine to keep them settled and happy. I treat every animal with patience and genuine care, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable.

“Minnie absolutely loved her stay with Amanda. Beautiful garden for dogs and Amanda is very kind and loving towards dogs. Would fully recommend her and will definitely be using her again. Thank you xx”
About: As a dog owner and previous cat owner myself, I know our pets are family to us. I would treat yours like my own. I'm in my 50s so have decades of experience with pets, including training. I work from home and have a large garden near Staunton country park and lots of green areas. I would need to meet you and your furry friend before taking the booking so you can inform me on your routine and requirements. I would only take one booking at a time so your pet gets 100% of my attention. I work full time from home and take the weekends off. I am self employed so I am flexible with timings for walks, feeding, toilet breaks, etc. I have a large enclosed garden that is bricked fence and safe. My Cocker Spaniel lives with me. He is very friendly, follows me or sits under my desk. I feed him twice a day and walk regularly. It would be helpful if your dog is dog friendly although I can possibly get a sitter for my dog if yours isn't.
“Michaela and family did a great job looking after our nervous labrador. Our dog was so relaxed when we collected her she walked back in Mechaela's house rather than leave with me! We had lots of photos throughout our dogs stay so we could see she was happy and relaxed.”
“I can’t thank Emma enough for having Chester, regular updates and photos of his little stay away! And at short notice was able to extend his stay! Highly recommended! Thank you so much! Look forward to you having him again! Xx”
“A great sitter from the very first contact. Charlie loved his time and was made to feel at home as soon as he stepped foot in the door. We had regular updates with photos and videos which put us at ease and gave increased confidence our boy was being looked after. Looking forward to the next stay with you.”
About: Animals have always been a very important part of my life, especially dogs. I grew up with Spaniels and have developed a good understanding of the care, attention and commitment they need at every stage of life — from energetic puppies to older dogs needing extra patience and support. Over the past few years, I have been providing local dog day care, boarding and walking services, and I absolutely love what I do. Caring for dogs is something I’m truly passionate about, and I take great pride in providing a safe, happy and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for. I work from home so there is always company for your dog. I take our Spaniel out twice a day and offer walks tailored to suit your dog’s individual needs, whether they enjoy a gentle stroll, an energetic adventure, or something in between. I have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely explore, relax and enjoy some outdoor time at their own pace. My home is open and welcoming, giving dogs the freedom to settle where they feel most comfortable and feel truly part of the family while they are in my care.
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).
“We left Winston with Samuel and his lovely family for 3 days whilst we travelled across the country. We are overwhelmed with the kind loving home from home provided for Winston whilst we were away. He was amazingly looked after, Had walkies, cuddles and we received lots of beautiful pictures of Winnie living his best life 😂 100% 5⭐'s from a very happy doggy dad.”
“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: Myself and my husband Liam offer a safe, loving family home for dogs who enjoy being around people. We have one friendly Jack Russell Terrier and two young children (both under 5), so any dogs staying with us must be comfortable around young children and other small dogs. I've recently been made redundant from work so I am home all week. Your dog will be treated as part of the family. We have a large, fully secure garden for playtime, with beautiful fields and woodland walks nearby, meaning plenty of exercise and enrichment tailored to your dog's needs. We understand that every dog has their own routine, so we'll happily follow your feeding, walking, sleeping and medication schedule to help them feel settled and comfortable. Dogs are welcome on the sofa if that's what they're used to at home, we want them to feel as relaxed as possible. We'll also keep you updated during their stay with photos and messages if you'd like, so you can see how much fun they're having. We're happy to arrange a meet-and-greet or a walk beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable before booking. We look forward to welcoming your dog into our family while you're away! 🐾 I'm at home for most of the day, only leaving briefly for school runs or the occasional food shop. At weekends we're home all day, and while we have dogs staying with us we don't make other plans. Our focus is on giving them plenty of attention, companionship and exercise. Your dog will enjoy lots of interaction, regular walks, playtime and a relaxed family environment throughout their stay. Your dog's safety and happiness are our top priorities. We have a large, fully secure garden where they can play safely, along with nearby fields and woodland walks for daily exercise. We have one friendly Jack Russell Terrier and two young children, so we only accept dogs that are comfortable around both. We'll follow your dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, medication and sleeping arrangements, to help them feel at home. Dogs are welcome on the sofa if that's what they're used to, and if preferred, we're happy to arrange a meet-and-greet or walk before their stay. We'll also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your dog is in safe hands. To help provide the safest possible environment, I have completed a Dogs Trust course focused on dog safety around children. The training has given me a better understanding of dog body language, safe interactions between dogs and young children, and how to create a positive, stress-free environment for everyone. While all interactions are always supervised, this additional training gives me confidence in helping dogs and children live together safely and happily.
“Claire and her family are great hosts for your pet. Children played a lot with Pongo and they did different walks and activities. We found Pongo happy and relaxed when we picked him up after several days.”
About: I have previously studied animal care level 2 and iv always had cats and a dog and trained him and another puppy who was a lab. I am able to provide some training and can also provide support for elderly dogs and cats with health conditions. It will be apart of my everyday life and would help get myself out more with my daughter. We do have animals but do not live with us, we miss that companionship. And would enjoy caring and sitting for the animals. It would also help teach my daughter to care for others and animals more. I can keep your animals secure in my property, and provided you bring their crate, favorite toys and snacks and blankets if needed. But if the dog is nervous around small children or does not like them I can ensure that they will be kept separate.
