“Absolutely fantastic service. We found ourselves in a bit of a last-minute bind with our new puppy, and Veronika couldn’t have been more helpful. She took the time to put us completely at ease, even coming over for a pre-visit chat—despite our rescheduling and general back-and-forth. Any initial hesitation on our part quickly disappeared. She’s a genuinely kind and compassionate person with a clear love for animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.”

“Cherie was great, everything went smoothly and she sent us updates and pictures. Luna was very relaxed with her and the house was left tidy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cherie to anyone. We will and are using Cherie again.”

About: I love animals very much, and most of them never refuse petting and treats; for such cases, I always have long artificial nails on my left hand, and treats are kept in my desk drawer. I understand perfectly that every living creature has its own character, interests, and needs, and I am happy to satisfy them. Dogs first appeared in my house about 4 years ago, 2 Labrador mixes, aged 7 and 12. My mom took them from a shelter where we used to volunteer, walking, grooming, and photographing the dogs. In general, we spent time with them in every way possible, helping them socialize and find a home. By that time, I already had 2 cats and 2 rabbits living with me, and we also periodically took in 1-2 cats for treatment or temporary care. Then I moved in with my boyfriend, who has 2 wonderful dogs: a European husky and a Shepherd mix. I spent a lot of time with them since I wasn't working; we walked for at least 4 hours every day. When needed, I bathed and brushed them, never forgetting to treat them with snacks. They would take every free moment to get as close to me as possible so I wouldn't stop petting them. I looked after my friend's cat at his home while he and his wife were on vacation. I followed all recommendations and regularly sent photos and videos of the happy cat. I also occasionally go to help walk dogs and socialize puppies, giving them warmth and attention. Most of the time I spend at home writing a book and drawing, but for that I need inspiration, and every minute that it is absent, I am happy to devote to walks, games, and any other whims of your pet. I would be happy to follow all recommendations for caring for your pet. In case you wish to leave him/her with me, there is a guest sofa, as well as a place for a bed, blanket, or cage if the pet needs one (I do not have my own cage). From the room, there is always access to exit into a fenced garden, and there is also a wonderful park for walks right across from the house. A cat and a rabbit also live with me, but if your pet is not happy with company, I have the possibility to separate them from each other.

“Nina looked after our french bulldog Bella in our own home for the weekend (Friday-Sunday) whilst my family & I went to a family wedding. Beforehand, Nina gladly came over to meet Bella, finding out everything she needed to know in order to look after her well. This included checking Bella's routine, diet, habits etc. We knew that Nina would be popping in throughout the weekend but we feel that she went above and beyond. As we felt Bella did not need overnight visits, Nina came first thing in the morning to let her out etc and stayed for every visit at least 2-3 hours - visiting throughout the day for extended periods, before settling her for bed. Nina also sent us regular photos and videos which reassured us that Bella was being well cared for. In addition, Nina helped to train Bella which was definitely an added bonus. We 100% trusted Nina & could not have found a better dog sitter. We would absolutely recommend Nina to anyone requiring a pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking care of our family dog so well x”

“Tianna was brilliant with our rescue dog. Within a couple of minutes Katie was rolling on her back and wagging her tail! Normally she hides! We got regular updates and they seem to have had a lovely time. It was like having a family member staying to look after her. We were a little apprehensive because we hadn't had anyone to stay like this before. Tianna reassured us very quickly and charmed both us and Katie. We would thoroughly recommend her!”

“Edita was great with our 2 year old fluff ball! She took excellent care of him for a week and the house was left immaculate. She sent us regular updates and photos, so we knew he was happy and having a great time! Edita was super flexible in arranging an initial meet and greet and staying with our boy until our delayed flight landed back in the UK. Would 1000% recommend and welcome her back again, which we know our pup would enjoy too!”

Emma H.

“Joe was amazing! Reliable, trustworthy, so great with my anxious pooch and took really good care of my house. Couldn't recommend more strongly!”

“Imogen is the perfect dog sitter. We felt so confident leaving her to look after our dogs and home. She kept us updated with photos and messages which meant we could relax and enjoy our break, knowing that all was well.”

About: Ever since i was young, I’ve had dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, and rodents in my house to care for. I currently have a puppy, 9 months of age, who is almost perfectly house trained, showing that i can handle any level of responsibility for dogs. I am currently a college student, meaning some days may be more difficuly to do than others, so please try and book in advance! I go to college 4 days per week, so evening work is ideal for me. I also try to keep saturdays free to complete college work or other tasks. I will keep an eye on them whenever possible, ensuring that the animals’ needs are tailored too and routines (where given) are followed as necessary

About: Hello there! I'm Aaron, a military man, with a fascination with the world's perfect adorable little killing machine, I'm a very humourous individual however extremely professional when It comes to care, I love cats, they bring me great joy even if all they do is sit there, at a distance judging my life choices. I'm also a photographer by trade and would love to take some photos of any kitties I have consent to, I frequently visit cat cafes in order to get my photography/cat fix. I leave for work early, and come home around evening meal time, I can change my timings and carry on work from home, to suit the cats needs. When I'm with my partner who has our cats, our home is full of fun things for them to do, for example ignoring the nice cat toy and just play with the box it came in, cat trees, fish toys and other bits and pieces now make up the aesthetic of our home.

About: I've taken care of all types of dogs from the age of 18, looking after my parents small dogs (Cavaliers) and large dogs (standard poodles) for months at a time when they would go on holiday. I have carried numerous dog / house sits for friends and family, ranging from small to big dogs, puppies and cats. In 2025 and early 2026, I travelled for 10 months around Europe, New Zealand and Australia and was hired for 5 x dog sits in Australia over the last 2 months of my stay. Two 10 day sits, and three 3-6 day sits. I have experience with handling and administering medication, with a recent sit, all three pets requiring AM and PM medication. I work remotely from my laptop full time, so can give around the clock attention to your beloved pets & take great care of your house. I am incredibly organized, neat and tidy. Early morning person who can adapt to any pet's routine. I am great at sending updates during a sit, so if you wish to only receive one update and one photo please let me know and I'll make sure not to send any more than this! If you have a particularly shy or harder dog to deal with then please do not hesitate to contact me as I am confident and love a challenge. Barking does not bother me as it is just them expressing how they are feeling.

“Having never left our dogs before we were very nervous about going away but we needn’t have worried! Karen looked after our dogs so well and I’m not sure they even missed us that much which was great really. Would highly recommend Karen and will definitely be using her services again in the future!”

About: Ive always had dogs, so im very comfortable around them and with all ages as ive helped raise my one of my dog’s puppies. Im currently a student with 2 full days off college and a further 2 days part time as I am nearing the end of my education. I have little commitments during the weekends. I am an active person who enjoys walks and getting out in nature so I can give your dogs whatever lengths of walks they may usually need. I make sure all animals are cared and have water and have gone to the toilet regularly.

“Ieuan was absolutely perfect for looking after Raffie, our 4 year old rescued failed sheep dog. They had a lovely walk together and Ieuan then kept him company for the rest of the day. Ieuan was extremely prompt in replying to my enquiry and very helpful with my questions regarding Rover as this was our first time of using them. I shall definitely use Ieuan again- if he is available!! Thank you so much. It made my day away so much more enjoyable knowing that Raffie was in safe hands.”

“Thank you Danielle for looking after Gracie so well, for leaving the house clean and tidy and watering my tomatoes! It was good to meet you and I hope we’ll see you again.”

About: I raised my 5 year old cocker spaniel, who loves ditch-the-bowl training. I'm a freelance outdoor instructor offering stimulating, long winter walks with new scents to enrich happy dogs. My two dogs enjoy morning and evening walks. With the garden always open, I provide 1-2 long weekday walks and adventurous weekend outings away from Sherborne. My garden is fenced, so they cannot escape. My two dogs will keep your dog company who are both very friendly and are used to other dogs staying. If they were to travel in the van I have seat belt clips, clips and a crate in the rear. I have a crate if your dog needs it's own space in the house too (Rusty sleeps under the stairs and Indi can sleep in our bedroom, so your dog can either sleep in the kitchen or living room). If you needed me to stay at your house, then I don't have to bring my dogs as my partner also works from home. We love dogs! We don't have children so they get a lot of fuss. I tend to use kibble/treats on their first walk with a retractable lead, to get a sense of recall and connection with the dog.

About: I am a reliable and intuitive pet sitter with a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for animals, having grown up with a father who was a vet. From an early age I learned not just the joy of having pets, but the responsibility that comes with properly caring for them - understanding animal behaviour, recognising subtle changes in health or mood, and appreciating the importance of routine and preventative care. Each animal has its own personality and needs, and I take time to build trust and provide calm, consistent care. As a mature and responsible mother, I am organised, dependable and respectful of both homes and routines. I understand how important peace of mind is when leaving a beloved pet, and I am committed to ensuring animals feel safe, well exercised, loved and thoroughly cared for while their owners are away. I work from home and can fit all pet care needs into a relaxed routine that works for your dog. I like to walk in the morning, after breakfast and depending on appetite often have another little perambulation in the afternoon Often it’s better for dogs to be in their own routine at home when their owners are away. Im happy to offer this service and will be with your dog/s for cuddles, feeding, walks and playtime. Please provide any details of routines you like maintained for me to implement. If home sitting doesn’t suit you, I can offer a home boarding service. I have a large home with a fenced garden and lots of fantastic countryside walks direct from my door. I have 2 friendly dogs to keep your pet company but will only take one dog into my home at any one time, so you can be assured they will get lots of love and attention. I am happy to accommodate a crate for your dog to sleep in, if that is their routine, and I am at home during the day for multiple toilet pit-stops and lots of attention.

About: I have grown up with pets all my life and currently have two dogs, a rabbit and axolotl and lots of fish! I have experience walking and looking after multiple dogs simultaneously and am very proficient in training techniques and more than able to provide any specific care requirements. I have looked after dogs of all breeds and ages as well as being able to manage dogs with all kinds of behavioural traits. I have a full clean driving licence so am able to travel to and from clients houses with ease. I would be honoured to spend time with your fury friends and shower them with love and affection. I know that many people may also have other pets! I have fish and a rabbit so I am also well versed in the care requirements for other fury friends and creatures! I work 3 days a week. I am available for drop in visits and for short & long term stays. I have a car and am happy to drive in order to fulfill requirements. I would preferably travel to the owners home as I have pets of my own but I am able to travel to the necessities location for the sitting.
