“Steph looked after our mini dachshund for a weekend and everything was perfect. We felt confident that Martha would be well looked after and had great communication from Steph throughout the weekend. Thank you very much!”
“Ellie gave us real confidence that our dog was in safe hands. The way she manages her own dog is exactly how we would expect. Her dog was very friendly and seemed at ease having a guest dog in the house.. She listened to my pet parent fears and was prepared for everything. 100% recommend!”
“Eddie had a lovely time at Allison's and was really well looked after, as shown by the walks on his tracker and the fact he actually ate all his food, (something he has not always done when he's stayed away). I received regular updates from Allison and felt very confident that he was getting plenty of love and attention. I will not hesitate to use Allison again.”
“I cannot express how wonderful Ronald during my dogs stay with him. She had recently had surgery and I was anxious about leaving her. Quite simply Ronald was amazing. So loving and caring to her and so reassuring to me sending me regular updates everyday. I highly, highly recommend Ronald, just a lovely person with whom your dog will be in the safest and kindest of hands”
“Our 2 year old golden retriever Monty had the best time with Monica and her partner! We couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters, they are both so friendly, caring and kept us updated all the time with pictures which we loved! They obviously both really love dogs too and their house is kitted out perfectly. Monica really looked after Monty and we are so appreciative of how safe she made him feel. We will definitely be using Monica again! Thank you so much ☺️”
“Jasper had a fantastic time with Joanne and family. Excellent communication, and so receptive to his needs. Joanne put us completely at ease with it being Jasper's first time staying with them. Thank you!”
About: Hi there, I am Lisa. My wife and I work from home and we would love to have your lovely dog come stay with us! We currently have a gorgeous 2y old black miniature poodle boy (neutered) who is very friendly and easy-going. I also had another dog previously from puppy to 15 y old, so I am an experienced owner and comfortable with all sizes, breeds and personalities! We know how important it is to find someone local you can trust - we hope we can be those people for you and will care for your pet as if they are our own, with plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles and regular photo updates. Happy to meet before and see how we get on! With our dog we do a big walk in the morning and late-afternoon/evening at one of our dogs many favourite spots - the park, forest or seaside. Our poodle loves the water so a swim is definitely on the cards for a hot day! Then they can cuddle up while we both work at home usually. We break the day up with games in the garden, like fetch, tug or find-it, and are always available for cuddles. We're happy to adapt to your dogs energy and requirements. We have a decent sized bungalow with a big garden and secure fence. Your dog can make themselves comfortable wherever they fancy and we will always keep an eye on them while they are settling in.
“Extremely happy with the care my dog received during their 10 day stay. I got lovely photos and updates every day, which gave me great peace of mind. I’m really pleased with the service and would definitely recommend !”
“Hanna and her family were lovely, caring and just simply awesome!! We received regular, timely updates and Diamond had a whale of a time playing with them and their lovely, friendly little dog, Rocky. Diamond would definitely, 100% love to stay again and is already missing his new best friend Rocky!! Thanks so much for taking such great care of him.”
“Sophie looked after Wesley extremely well he had a wonderful time with Sophie and her family and got on extremely well with her gorgeous little dog Lady. Sophie sent me pictures and messaged me whilst we were away keeping me updated and Wesley looked happy and settled. It was reassuring knowing he was happy and well looked after. I would definitely recommend Sophie.”
“Shadia was brilliant she kept me updated the whole weekend. Benji enjoyed his time there and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Shadia to anyone. Thank you so much for looking after Benji for us xx”
“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!!”
“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.”
“Absolutely fantastic! Karen is clearly very good at reading dogs and puts a lot of effort into making sure they are settled and happy. She understood my dog completely and Pixie's behaviour when I collected her told me everything I needed to know; she was happy and relaxed. Great with a small dog and a very safe home environment. Also brilliant communication with me throughout, she really listened and took on board information as well as giving great feedback on collection.”
“Loki had a great weekend with Annabelle. She took him out for walks despite not feeling very well and was always kind and responsive. He came home happy and healthy.”
“Another lovely stay for Murphy at Rachel’s. Plenty of opportunity to cool off in the doggy pool and relax in the air conditioned home during this heatwave. Came home a tired but happy boy once more 🥰”

“We couldn’t be more happy with Kate as she’s been looking after our 2 boys, Stewie (2 year old rescue Dachshund) & Biggles (6 year old Jack Russell). Pro-active communication, lots of photos (which we love) & an obvious connection with the two dogs which she clearly loves (and they love her). We couldn’t recommend Kate more.”

I am also happy to assist with grooming and will always strive to make your cat feel calm, comfortable, happy, and relaxed while you are away. My priority is ensuring every cat feels safe, secure, and well cared for in my company.
“Hollie was brilliant. Very generous, easy to talk to and really good with my pets. As she has a background in animals, she was able to give me tips regarding my tortoise which was helpful. Monty the cat is normally the shy type but felt comfortable around Hollie instantly. I’m more than happy to book her again and again in the future.”
“Keighley filled in for us as our usual sitter was away and did a fantastic job. She kept us up to date with every visit and Pippi seemed perfectly content! Keighley kept her food topped up and took care of the litter tray for us, even cleaning up after Pips had an accident. Thank you so much for sitting for us, would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“Lauran was amazing with my cat! So accommodating, she was consistent with communication and went above and beyond to make me feel secure and stress free while away!

“Hilary took good care of our cat Lola on drop in visits while we were away. It was lovely to receive an update and photos of Lola regularly and I would definitely recommend Hilary for drop in cat visits and will use her again when we need to. Thank you Hilary 😊”
About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 20 years, having grown up with them and understanding that every cat has their own personality, routine and preferences. Whether your cat is playful, independent or a little shy, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to provide feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, playtime, medication if required and, of course, plenty of affection on their terms. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and in safe hands.
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 have extensive experience caring for cats of all ages, from curious kittens to wise seniors. Growing up on a farm gave me early hands on experience with animals, and now I run my own pet sitting business, caring for cats with professionalism and heart. I regularly look after cats for my own clients, building trust and routines that keep them happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I provide feeding, litter tray maintenance, playtime, cuddles, and medication if needed, always tailoring my care to each cat’s personality and needs.
About: I’ve owned cats since I was young and currently own 2. I’ve cat sat for friends for a few weeks at a time in the past and have also administered medicine. I’ve also helped a friend hand rear feed her newborn kittens. I’m happy to come to your home to feed your cats whilst you are away and spend some time giving them love, cuddles and attention if needed. I can also lick and unlock cat flaps if you need your cat inside overnight.

“Nyomi was amazing from start to finish! Eric absolutely loved spending the day with her, as soon as he got in he curled up on the sofa and slept so I know ut was a day well spent. Nyomi’s flexibility was great I messaged pretty late with my request and she’s came straight back which made me feel at ease. I had pupdates throughout the day, which was lovely and Eric was having such a fab time on his walk. Will absolutely use Nyomi again! I felt Eric was in amazing hands and I highly recommend! Thank you Nyomi!”

Throughout the years, I have developed a deep understanding of the unique personalities, traits, and needs of different dogs, adapting my care to help each one thrive. I have supported dogs through every stage of life, from puppyhood to adulthood and into their senior years, providing nurturing care, training, guidance, and companionship.

This flexibility means I am available for daytime visits, evening care, weekends, holidays, and overnight stays. I can provide reliable and consistent care, ensuring dogs receive the attention, exercise, companionship, and routine they need while their owners are away. I am happy to care for pets in their own home through house sitting, helping them remain comfortable in familiar surroundings while giving owners peace of mind that both their pets and property are safe and secure. Alternatively, I can provide a warm, welcoming home environment with a secure garden, ideally located near the coast and the New Forest for enjoyable walks and outdoor adventures. As there are no other animals in my home, your pet will receive my full attention in a calm and stress-free setting.
“Shadia saved my son's birthday when she agreed to look after my puppy on short notice after we were let down by our planned sitter. It was my first time leaving him and I was quite anxious, but there was no need - Apollo had a lovely day playing with the other dogs, and Shadia kept me updated regularly with pictures of all the fun! Would definitely recommend, and will book again if we're back in the area. Thank you!”
About: I’ve spent my whole life caring for animals and genuinely love being around them. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish and chickens, so I’m confident looking after pets with very different personalities, routines and needs. I’m friendly, reliable and attentive, and I understand how important it is to know your pets are in safe, caring hands while you’re away. I’m happy with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship and keeping to their usual routines, while giving them plenty of fuss and attention along the way. 😊 I’m available every day and have plenty of flexibility as I work part-time from home.

“I chose Sophie for a day care stay for our beloved Maia, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we met them, they were welcoming and friendly. Maia was made to feel part of the family and enjoyed spending time with Sophie, her family, and their lovely dog Theo. It was reassuring to know she was in such a caring and safe environment while we were away. Sophie kept us updated throughout the day and when we picked Maia up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a wonderful time. We would highly recommend Sophie and her family to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive dog sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Maia!”

I have owned 2 cats and currently have a golden retriever who is 3 years old. We are both very good at basic training and are athletic people. My partner and I work remote jobs so will be at home during the week and weekends to care for your pets around the clock. We will be able to Feed, play, walk, brush, toilet and help with basic training (if required). Loads of local fields, rivers and the beach is just a 10 minutes walk away.

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.
“Thank you Sophie for making our first 'Rover' such a success. George and Margot obviously had a great day and are now sleeping soundly. Sophie's love of dogs is obvious and our dogs came home happy. Thank you 😊”
“Charlotte was lovely and very professional. Like most lurchers, she can be a little emotional & sensitive at times, but settled in really well and was more then happy to trott into Charlotte's without a care. Lu got lots of playtime and walks and I would not hesitate to recommend Charlotte as a trusted and proficient pet carer.”
“Bella is a wonderful! Took our last minute booking for our Mabel whilst we were on holiday and looked after her amazingly! Would recommend her to anyone! She Sent regular updates and photos, Mabel and Bella’s little dog got along really well! Very clean and lovely home and secure garden ❤️”
About: My beloved dog, Crumble, joined tennis ball heaven last year and ever since then, there has been a huge paw shaped hole in our hearts. Life means it’s tricky to have our own fur baby again for a few years and instead, we’ve enjoyed the company of others. We have had dogs for over 20 years and are very comfortable with excitable young puppies as much as caring for senior dogs with medication needs etc. I am a secondary school teacher, teaching locally in a comprehensive for over 20 years being Head of Subject and Head of Year. Tristan also works as a specialist technician at school. We would love to use our weekends and school holidays between now and Christmas this year for furry companionship. In addition to teaching in school, I also privately tutor and work from home two to three days a week and therefore also have the ability to do some term time day based care and support until Christmas 2026. Thereafter, I am solely working from home on a part time basis, and won’t be in school and so will have full availability to be able to have dog company all day, every day. We promise to offer love, care and undivided attention for your pooch! We currently work part time and full time in a local school. This means that in school holiday time we have no work and can just give full attention to your dog’s needs. The same applies for weekends throughout the school year and any week day care we have capacity for up until Christmas this year. Then from January l will solely working from home on a part time basis as I will just have my private tutoring business and therefore have full capacity for every option for dog care all day, every day . If we have a dog with us it will never be left unsupervised and will always have at least one of our full attention I am just completing my Professional Dog Walkers and Sitters qualification with the British College of Canine Studies. I have also purchased independent insurance for your peace of mind. We have the luxury of going between two accommodations in the area. Our home has a fenced garden with lovely walks around the Mudeford quay and Mudeford woods patch. We also have a sizeable static caravan at Hoburne which dogs love coming to stay with us at. Here, we have the joys of being right on our private cliff top and the beach and sea in front, alongside the easy option of getting in to the forest for walks. It’s doggy heaven! We don’t have any pets of our own presently and instead are enjoying the company and companionship of others

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.

This allows me to completely tailor my day around your pet, ensuring they get all my attention and their routine stays the same while you're away. I do not offer pet care in my own home.

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.

About: Full time professional dog sitter; I’ve always had a dog in my life and love dogs! Couldn’t imagine not having them in my life. Love walking dogs, and have a river walk and park on my doorstep. We do not even need to get in the car although we like to venture to the beach often. I have a national trust membership, and take dogs to some amazing places locally. I work as a dog sitter and have the flexibility so am always able to take the dogs out for a nice long walk everyday. Weekends and weekdays work well as we have a dog so another would add to the fun. I am available for them to be dropped off early morning if needed also and am very flexible and accommodating. I have a dog friendly home and they can wonder freely inside the house and access water bowls at all time. I’m Always with them. My garden is fenced as well. I live in a quiet culdesac in a beautiful area. This is a true dog hotel for your fur baby. Spoilt dogs welcome! I try to only take on one dog at a time, although if more than one comes from a family I will accommodate this. I do this to ensure your dog is provided with a high standard of attention and care. Sometimes there maybe a crossover but I try hard to avoid this happening. Walks in the morning and lunchtime, and a last one in the evening if they have energy left. Weekends we will always go for walks and make the most of the area around us which is beautiful I have a walled garden and I ensure I know where the dogs are at all times. I would never leave them unsupervised as this is when mischief arises! Dogs are free to roam the whole home!

I am self-employed and work flexible hours, which allows me to tailor my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care. This flexibility means I am available for daytime visits, evening care, weekends, holidays, and overnight stays. I can provide reliable and consistent care, ensuring dogs receive the attention, exercise, companionship, and routine they need while their owners are away. I am happy to care for pets in their own home through house sitting, helping them remain comfortable in familiar surroundings while giving owners peace of mind that both their pets and property are safe and secure. Alternatively, I can provide a warm, welcoming home environment with a secure garden, ideally located near the coast and the New Forest for enjoyable walks and outdoor adventures. As there are no other animals in my home, your pet will receive my full attention in a calm and stress-free setting.
About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm we always had dogs, and later I lived with flatmates’ dogs in London. More recently, our family beagle lived with my mum in the New Forest, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I genuinely miss having one around and would love the opportunity to care for yours. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit or overnight care, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy and well looked after. I’m reliable, patient and active, and I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine. I’ll always treat your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I work from home most weekdays, giving me the flexibility to provide dog walking, drop-in visits and house sitting. One day a week I travel into London, but this varies, so please get in touch and I’ll always do my best to accommodate your needs. I’m also available most weekends and will do my best to be as flexible as possible. My approach to caring for pets in either my home or a pet owner's home is tailored to the specific service I offer. In my home, I provide a safe and secure space for them to rest and enjoy their stay. When caring for pets in a pet owner's home, I adapt to their routines and preferences, ensuring your pets receive consistent care, affection, and necessary attention. Open communication is key to allow me to address any specific needs and maintain a seamless experience with you and your pet/s.
“Hilary and John helped us, at very short notice with dog walking. We are very grateful. Our two dogs, one big and one small, were both delighted to see them, every time.”
About: I have been a teacher for 20 years and I have recently taken the decision to go part time to follow my dream of being a dog walker and care provider. I have had dogs my whole life. My favourite breed is dalmatian (I've owned 2!) but currently I have a happy sprocker spaniel. I am lucky to live near to both the coast and the forest and my favourite activity to spend my time doing is walking my dog - now I think it's time to add to the pack! I have a van which has been adapted to safely carry up to 6 dogs. For many years I have regularly cared for my friends' dogs, welcoming them into my home and my family. I am confident with all types of dogs, young and old, large and small. I pride myself on being able to provide both the love and care I would hope for my own dog if she needed to be away from home. During the school holidays I am available full time. In term time the only days I cannot offer are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday as I will be teaching in school then. Your dog will be warmly welcomed into my home. I am happy to crate them if that is what they are used to but typically dogs have the run of the house. I have a fully enclosed back garden for them to play in but mostly they will be able to just relax at home in between lovely walks either in the forest or on the beach.
“Our dog Oaty had a wonderful time walking with Nicola. We received great communication before, during and after the walks, including lots of lovely photos. Oaty was taken out for longer than we’d booked (we were asked first) which she really loved and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Overall really fantastic and would absolutely recommend”
About: Hi everyone! I’m Anya and I absolutely love animals. I have experience as a Military Working Dog handler which means I’ve worked with lots of different breeds, temperaments and needs. I’m also about to start a part-time role as an Animal Care Assistant with the RSPCA which will give me even more hands on experience. I adore spending time with animals whether it’s walks, playtime or cuddles and I always make sure every pet feels safe, happy and loved. I treat them like my own and love getting to know all their little quirks and personalities. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I love staying active and spending time outdoors. Walks and playtime slot in easily around my schedule and I always make sure to plan my day so pets get the attention, exercise and companionship they need. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a long walk or an overnight stay, I’m flexible and happy to build my routine around keeping pets happy and cared for. I make pets feel safe and comfortable by following their usual routines and paying close attention to their needs. In a pet owner’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and secure. I provide a calm, pet friendly environment with plenty of enrichment and supervision. My priority is always their safety, wellbeing and making sure owners feel reassured while they’re away.
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’ve had and taken care of numerous dogs since my early years. From Jack Russells to my own anxious bully breed. I understand how daunting it can be to leave your pet with anyone but yourself, but rest assured I will treat them with the upmost care and attention as if they were my own. I’m currently exploring a new career path so my days are flexible to meet any requirement. Be it popping in regularly or extended walks. I’m happy to follow any and all requirement that you have when caring for your beloved pet - I understand that our animals often have weird and wonderful needs
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—growing up, there were always dogs and cats in the house, so caring for them quickly became second nature. That early experience gave me natural confidence and affection with pets. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and temperaments, including senior dogs who need a little extra tender loving care and puppies who are still learning the basics. I really take the time to get to know each animal’s personality and what makes them feel safe and happy. I treat every pet like family, because I know just how much they mean to you. I'm currently available most days. I am not working so I am very flexible. I can be available to care for your pet anytime from morning to night. My home is a safe, pet-friendly space where your furry friend can feel right at home. My garden is fully fenced off and the inside of my home is cozy, clean and free of any potential hazards. Whether your let loves lounging in the sun or playing around in the garden, they'll have a safe and relaxing environment to enjoy.
About: I'm a passionate animal lover who enjoys spending time outdoors and exploring nature. Growing up with animals, I've always had a deep connection and a natural ability to care for them. Whether it's a daily walk, playtime, or just providing companionship, I'm here to ensure your furry friend is happy and healthy. I can provide quality care that includes daily walks, playtime, grooming, and lots of cuddles. With my flexible schedule, I'm available to accommodate your pet's needs and ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve. My home is surrounded by beautiful gardens and a nearby forest, offering ample opportunities for outdoor exploration and exercise. Your dog willl enjoy the freedom to roam and play in a natural setting. I'm dedicated to providing personalized care that meets your pet's unique needs, including daily walks, playtime, grooming, and lots of love and attention. Also, if your dog gets well with cats, it can be a very good opportunity to make friends with mine and keep company together.
“John is fantastic with our very energetic, boisterous lab. Maple clearly loves the walks and is very excited when John arrives. He takes her such varied, long walks and we are very grateful-will definitely be booking again.”
About: I'm Naomi, your pet's new best friend, here to provide a loving and fun environment for your furry companions. I'm not only a passionate dog lover with years of experience caring for various breeds and needs, but I'm also the proud owner of a trained assistance dog. Together, we'll make sure your pet feels right at home! My home is a calm and loving space where your pet can relax and enjoy plenty of cuddles. I have experience and skills in training, socialisation, and specialised support for dogs of all ages and abilities – from lively pups to wise seniors and even those with unique needs like blindness. Your pet will be in the best of hands, as I'm well-versed in medication administration and regular grooming, and have even helped my own dog achieve the Kennel Club Good Citizen Bronze Award! I'm the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends, and I can't wait to share my love and expertise with your cherished companion. When your furry friend stays with me, they'll not only receive top-notch care but also have a blast exploring, playing, and making new memories in a nurturing environment. So, let's get to know each other and give your pet the holiday they deserve with their new best friend! Pet care fits really naturally into my life, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. I work in Fareham during the day and usually finish at 4pm, but I can pop in for visits around Fareham during my lunch break, as well as before or after work. I’m also available most evenings and weekends, and I occasionally work from home. On Fridays I finish at 12pm, so I have even more flexibility then. I’m a big fan of getting outside and especially love being at the beach, so if your dog enjoys a good walk, a bit of exploring or a trip somewhere new, even better! I’m also happy to care for dogs who are comfortable being left for a few hours while I’m at work, as long as that fits their usual routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are really important to me. I know how difficult it can be leaving your dog with someone new, so I want them to feel safe, settled and comfortable in my care. I’m a dog owner myself, so I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and little quirks. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet and follow the routines and instructions you leave for me, whether that’s feeding, walks, medication, playtime or simply giving them some company. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll always treat your home with the same respect I would my own. I’m happy to send updates and photos while you’re away, too, so you know how your pet is getting on. Most importantly, I want them to have a calm, positive experience and for you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being looked after.

“Ellie gave us real confidence that our dog was in safe hands. The way she manages her own dog is exactly how we would expect. Her dog was very friendly and seemed at ease having a guest dog in the house.. She listened to my pet parent fears and was prepared for everything. 100% recommend!”
“Eddie had a lovely time at Allison's and was really well looked after, as shown by the walks on his tracker and the fact he actually ate all his food, (something he has not always done when he's stayed away). I received regular updates from Allison and felt very confident that he was getting plenty of love and attention. I will not hesitate to use Allison again.”
“Jasper had a fantastic time with Joanne and family. Excellent communication, and so receptive to his needs. Joanne put us completely at ease with it being Jasper's first time staying with them. Thank you!”
About: Hi there, I am Lisa. My wife and I work from home and we would love to have your lovely dog come stay with us! We currently have a gorgeous 2y old black miniature poodle boy (neutered) who is very friendly and easy-going. I also had another dog previously from puppy to 15 y old, so I am an experienced owner and comfortable with all sizes, breeds and personalities! We know how important it is to find someone local you can trust - we hope we can be those people for you and will care for your pet as if they are our own, with plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles and regular photo updates. Happy to meet before and see how we get on! With our dog we do a big walk in the morning and late-afternoon/evening at one of our dogs many favourite spots - the park, forest or seaside. Our poodle loves the water so a swim is definitely on the cards for a hot day! Then they can cuddle up while we both work at home usually. We break the day up with games in the garden, like fetch, tug or find-it, and are always available for cuddles. We're happy to adapt to your dogs energy and requirements. We have a decent sized bungalow with a big garden and secure fence. Your dog can make themselves comfortable wherever they fancy and we will always keep an eye on them while they are settling in.
“Sophie looked after Wesley extremely well he had a wonderful time with Sophie and her family and got on extremely well with her gorgeous little dog Lady.

I would definitely recommend Sophie.”

About: Hi, I'm Andy, I'm a reliable, caring animal lover based in the New Forest. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog, because I consider my dog a part of the family. My goal is to make sure every dog in my care feels safe, happy, and well looked after while you're away. I've spent years around dogs and have had my beagle Lando for 5 years. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog loves long forest walks, playing, or simply curling up for a cuddle (on the furniture), I'm happy to tailor my care to suit them. I'm dependable, calm, and very atuned to a dogs needs. I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is having a great time. What you can expect from me: * Friendly and dependable care * Plenty of exercise and attention * Regular photo and video updates * Care tailored to your dog's routine * A safe, and loving environment I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! I'm available at weekends for day care and overnight boarding at our home in the New Forest. No availability during the week as I work full time. I have a large walled garden that's completely secure, dogs are welcome to come in and out as they please. I'm very relaxed so dogs are welcome on furniture and I have space for their crate / bed if that's how they prefer to sleep. I have a crate in the car that I can use to transport your dog for longer walks or you can supply your own. I have children so your dog must be trustworthy and used to being around them. I also have a lovely beagle called Lando who is great around other dogs and a fantastic companion.
“Teddy was a very happy and tired boy when picked up from Shelley’s place. Was very responsive with messages and got regular updates throughout the day. Would love for Shelley to look after Teddy again!”
“This was my second time sending my dog Captain to Angela and her family and they did an amazing job again. He was well and truly looked after and he seemed to remember and settle with the family really easily again. I got lots of updates and photos during the week and could tell how much love and care my Captain was getting. I can't thank Angela enough and absolutely recommend her for other dog owners. I'll absolutely be booking with her again!”
About: I have been around dogs ever since I was a baby. My nan cared for retired guide dogs for around 20 years, so I developed a strong love and adoration for dogs. My family has owned 2 dogs since I was a child, sadly our last dog passed away 2 years ago and my family and I have felt like a part of us has been missing ever since. No dog could replace our sweet Lionel, he was the most special dog ever, but I decided to start up a dog boarding business as a way to still surround us with dogs. I have looked after friends and family’s dogs many times as favours before I started my business and that’s what really pushed me to have the confidence to do this as a job. If you choose to have me as your dog boarder, you can be assured that your dog will be treated like family and will be given so much love and care. I am available everyday of the week as this is my sole job. I do volunteer most mornings of the week, however I live in a house of 6 people so it is very rare that no one is home. I am fully licensed by Southampton City Council, so my house and garden have been completely approved and catered to suit dog boarding. I also have a Canine First Aid certification, full insurance and DBS checked.
“Sam looked after our bulldog Bruno for two nights and he was great with keeping in contact, as well sending photos of him settled. Will be booking again in the future when we need a sitter! Thank you ☺️”
“Isabella and her family took great care of our elderly dog, Freddy. She catered for his needs and he seemed very happy. Also, communication throughout the booking was very good. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again.”
