“Jill clearly loves dogs and this showed with the care and attention she gave our dog. I felt so happy going away knowing she was being so well looked after. Jill communicated daily with me just to update on what Ozzy had been doing and that all was well. We will definitely be using Jill again in the future.”

“Exceptional. Niels and Sandy looked after my 14 month old puppy. Helped to train her, carry on her desensitation routine, kept me updated with photos. Two days before we dropped her off, she came into season, Niels and Tanya weren't bothered and carried on looking after Sandy without hesitation. Thanks Niels and Tanya!”
“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.”
“Ying is a fantastic dog sitter. She looked after Alfie for 3 weeks whilst we went on holiday. We knew that Alfie was in good hands for the entire duration. Ying provided occasional updates on Alfie's wellbeing which was great for us to know. I will definitely use Ying to look after our Alfie again & would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter in the area.”
“Very happy thay I booked my dog Lolly in wit Tashmeet :) The host is very kind and friendly. My dog was instantly comfortable with her and I could tell that she was very happy. Thank you Tashmeet :)”
“Maria and her husband have been brilliant with my Susie these last two days - it’s been hot and they have catered to Susie’s needs so kindly. It meant I could go and help family and not worry about my girl. I especially loved receiving the photos of Susie looking so relaxed and happy. Lovely people who really love the dogs they care for. Will definitely use again :)”
“Jess and her family provided a safe, secure and loving environment for our Jazz. She was well looked after and Jess updated us with lovely photos while we were away. The adoring look Jazz gave Jess as we prepared to leave and the way she greeted Jess’s partner when he returned to the house, spoke volumes to us. We would happily recommend Jess’s services”
“We had never left Matilda with non-family before so were worried but we had a lovely meet with Patri before our booking date and this really put our minds at rest and we knew that Matilda would be well looked after and we had nothing to worry about. Patri asked all the right questions to ensure she gave Tilda the best care. When we left her she was not at all bothered and Patri sent us photos to show she practically went straight to sleep :) Thank you Patri, we certainly enjoyed our event more not worrying about Tilda and knowing she was in good hands,”
“Outstanding & highly recommended. Ewa and her partner were amazing with my anxious Labrador Lola. Lola experiences separation anxiety but they were so calm and kind which helped her to settle. They taught her new tricks, took her for plenty of walks (including a swim in the river which she loved) and kept her entertained with ball games. Lola can find it difficult to settle at night when she’s away, but she felt so comfortable with Ewa that there were no problems. I will definitely leave Lola with Ewa and her partner again.”
“Charlotte is kind and caring and really makes your dog a part of her family. Poppy always has a great time and Charlotte gives great photos and updates. Highly recommended”
“Hanna and her family were brilliant with our dog Milo. He seemed so happy with her and she sent us lots of updates of his stay. A big thank you for making him so welcome.”
“As first time dog owners leaving our 7 month old puppy for the first time was daunting. Dawn was amazing… ❤️ she made us feel instantly at ease and looked after Ralph like he was her own. Communication was perfect throughout and her own dog Obi is the gentlest and best companion ever… already booked in for Ralph’s 2nd visit…”
“Jasmine looked after Frankie for the weekend and was fantastic. Frankie took to her straight away. She kept in touch with us throughout the whole time with updates/pictures, communication was great from start to finish. We’d definitely recommend Jasmine and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
“Our previous sitter cancelled on us at the last minute and Beatrice stepped in with almost no notice to look after Sasha. She was really easy to deal with and made us feel completely at ease about leaving her. She kept sending photos and you could tell Sasha felt welcome and really enjoyed the walks to the beach. She looked properly happy and relaxed the whole time. Beatrice’s dog also welcomed Sasha home and was so playful and relaxed with her, which made a big difference. We’ll definitely be asking her again. 100% recommended.”
“Piotr has been excellent in all regards with quick communication and updating throughout my dog Benny's stay. He kept me updated with photos and messages over the duration of my holiday. Piotrs house and garden are perfect for dogs and his family have have kept my dog company. Benny has returned very happy and healthy and has clearly had a great time away. I highly recommend Piotr and will be using his service again in the future. Thank you Piotr”

“Rhea was fantastic! My fluffy boy is a nervous one, and Rhea was so good and patient, giving him the space he needed, and coming in each morning and evening to feed him. Her updates were perfect, she always shared pictures, and she cleaned up his food mat so it was neat and tidy too. Would highly recommend!”
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.
“I am delighted that Mabel could drop in to feed our cats. She met the cats' needs, used initiative, was caring and completely reliable. The report card was quick and detailed, along with lovely photos. I would highly recommend her. We had total peace of mind.”
“Tina had been great ! She made sure pat' was well looked after and helping lowering stress after a big house move. He managed to go to the toilet with her very quickly which usually takes a little more time - a testament to her professional skills. She has been also great at communication, updates and being very accommodating. Would 100% re book and recommend 🩷”
“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 💚”

“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.”
“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!”

Can't wait to get to know you and your beautiful cat(s) 😊

“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 :)”

About: We’re Marta and Jay, lifelong dog lovers and experienced pet sitters based in Bournemouth. We’ve been dog walking, house sitting and looking after other people’s pets for several years, as well as having two dogs of our own, Fred and Ulu. We’ve both grown up around dogs and are comfortable with all kinds of breeds, sizes, ages and personalities. We have experience with puppies, large dogs, older dogs, anxious dogs and reactive dogs, so we understand that every dog needs something a little different to feel safe and settled. Because we’re dog owners ourselves, we also know how important it is to genuinely trust the person looking after your dog. We treat every dog in our care as we would our own and always try to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. We both work from home and have flexible schedules, meaning we can spend plenty of time with the dogs in our care and work around feeding times, walks, medication and individual routines. We live in a house with a fully fenced garden, dogs are welcome on the furniture, and we’re happy to accommodate crates, beds or whatever your dog is used to at home. We’re also very happy to provide regular photos and updates while you’re away - we know how reassuring it is to actually see that your dog is happy and settled! If we happen to be unavailable for the dates you need, we can also recommend a dog sitter we personally know and trust, and who we’re happy to leave our own dogs with. Feel free to send us a message and tell us a little about your dog. 🐾 We are both working full time but have a pretty flexible working schedule. Please feel free to send us a message and we’re sure we can make your schedule work. We can drop in and check on your pets, play with them, and feed them or care for them when you’re away. Also, we can walk your pet and play with them to provide them with the physical and cognitive exercise. Let us know if you’d like us to train your pet too, we’d be happy to! We’re experienced with anxious and reactive pets and can help both you and your pet feel at ease.
“Angel looked after my dog while we were away. She sent regular pictures and updates. She was really helpful and came to visit Casper before we left to get to know what was needed. I felt really comfortable leaving Casper with her and she is very trustworthy. Thank you so much angel. I would definitely Recommend Angel to anyone !”

“Thanks for entertaining Charlie again Jenny. I'm certain that he enjoyed his boat cruise, even if he chose to bark whilst bobbing up and down. He came home pooped and slept very well.”
“Gwen's first day-care visit has been a great success! She was a little anxious for about half an hour at the start (she's only every been cared for by us and friends before) but she soon settled. It was so good to receive an update and photos at lunchtime which showed Gwen having a great day. At collection time, it was a joy to find Gwen running around with Coca, playing with toys and feeling very relaxed. We feel very lucky to have found such a lovely family to look after her!”
“Shelby met Rachel for about 20 mins for a meet and greet. First day, she pulled me into Rachel's house from all the others in the street - same again on second day visit too. Rachel certainly has a way with doggies and puts them at ease straight away. Lovely to get the updates, and seeing her happy. Thank you so much, we will see you again soon no doubt! Xx”
“Guoda and her husband were very good with our energetic puppy Lab, they understood his puppy like behaviour and kept me updated to reassure me that he had settled ok. The communication was always good. Wybie seemed very happy.”
“Gateaux had such a great time with Sonya and Lee for her two days in their care. Sonya sent such lovely photos of Gateaux and a video of her playing so I was really reassured that she was in the best hands whilst I had to work. Gateaux was happy and relaxed on collection. Really great communication as well. I can’t recommend enough!”

“Angelika took a last minute booking from us as we had a late change of plans. We hung out whilst the dogs got to know each other and when we were all happy everybody was getting along, we left Red with them for the day. He had a great time and we were very happy. Fully recommend!”
“Couldn’t recommend Gabby enough, my 7 month old puppy clearly had the best time with her and Ralph, he came home happy and tired. Great set up with large secure garden. She kept me updated with regular photos and videos. He will definitely be going back to stay.”

She’s a true dog person and clearly absolutely loves having them around – they were so happy and settled with her, which tells us everything we need to know! Communication was fantastic and we had lovely updates that meant we could relax knowing they were in safe hands. They were beautifully cared for and we’d book with Patri again in a heartbeat.”

About: I’ve had dogs throughout my life and have always loved caring for them. We’ve regularly looked after friends’ dogs, and we also have our own friendly dog, Milo, who is 6 years old. We’re a warm, friendly family with 2 children who absolutely love dogs. We live close to the River Stour Nature Reserve, with plenty of lovely walking routes nearby and lots of opportunities for dogs who enjoy a splash in the river! We’re happy to welcome friendly, well-socialised dogs into our home and will make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise and cuddles while they’re staying with us. # Daily Routine Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. My husband works from home full-time, and I also work from home on some days, so there is almost always someone at home with the dogs. This means they will have plenty of company, attention and supervision throughout the day. We’re able to provide two walks each day, with plenty of outdoor time and exercise. We’re also happy to follow each dog’s individual feeding schedule and routine, so they can feel comfortable and settled while staying with us. # Safety, Trust & Environment We have a secure, fully fenced home where dogs can relax and feel safe. Our own dog, Milo, is friendly and can provide company for your furry friend, while we always make sure introductions are done carefully and at the dogs’ own pace. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and any specific safety requirements. If your dog is comfortable with a crate, I can provide crating when required. For walks, dogs will only be allowed off lead if they have a reliable recall and you are happy for them to do so. Otherwise, they will remain on lead, or can enjoy off-lead time in a secure enclosed area. We live close to the River Stour, so for dogs who enjoy swimming and are confident around water, we can offer the opportunity for a supervised dip. Their safety and comfort will always come first.

“Klaudia has been amazing! We were a little worried initially about dog walking as Freddie can be challenging around other dogs on walks and this was for 2 weeks whilr we were in Thailand. Klaudia came and met Freddie on her own time to make sure everything was a good fit and put our mind at rest before we committed which was really appreciated. The updates we got from Klaudia were superb and she is an experienced dog walker who was ate confident can handle Freddie if he got himself into a difficult situation. We really look forward to using Klaudia again in the future! I would 110% recommend!”

“Oh my, Thomas was incredible with our nervous rescue dogs, the difference from the first walk (reluctant to go) to the last walk (tails wagging, can’t wait to go) was a dream. I would not hesitate to recommend his services.”
About: Hello, I have been looking after other people's dogs, cats and many other animals for a long time. I treat every pet as if they are my own and give them the time and care I would want for my own pets. I am currently training to become an accredited Animal Training Instructor which involves only using force free training methods with animal welfare at the centre so you can be assured your pet is in safe hands. I am currently working part time and can be flexible to offer drop ins at any time that's best for your pet and walks of various lengths. In your home and on walks I will make giving your dog a fun and engaging time my priority with plenty of treats and cuddles on offer.
“Emilee walked my dog Pepper. We met up prior to the walk, communication was great, I could see when Pepper was picked up and dropped back home. Emilee also shared a few photos. Would definitely use again :)”
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 been dog sitting for over 10 years now. I usually have dogs stay with me in my home but I have in the past stayed at owners homes too. I'm young and fit so happy to go on long or regular walks. I own my own business so I'm very flexible and can dedicate a lot of time to dogs. Dogs are rarely left on their own in my care. My home is secure with an enclosed garden by and dogs have full run of the house. I also have transport for trips to the beach or for emergencies. I usually only look after one dog at a time, or more than one if they are from the same household. I don’t have any pets of my own. I am flexible with work so I can work around the dogs needs. I don’t usually look after anyone else dogs at the same time. I live in a house with a secured fenced garden and they have full run of the house. I respect any rules and training methods owners have set for their dogs at their or my home.
About: I have a family dog which we have had for the past 6 years, she isn’t a big walker (my profile picture is of me and her!) but I’m keen to take on dogs that require more exercise through a big walk but also experienced with smaller dogs that just need an evening stroll… I have house sat on previous occasions for my manager whilst they were on holiday and looked after his poodle for 2 weeks. I will be house sitting again whilst he enjoys his summer holiday with his family! Dog walker/sitter by trade along side freelance marketing so available mornings, afternoons and evenings to walk your pup during typical working hours when you’re unavailable or just pay them a visit if a walk isn’t required! I won’t be caring for pets in my own home but am happy to house sit as I have experience with this in past occasions!
About: I have grown up with dogs, specifically golden retrievers and labradors. However I have looked after small dogs, fluffy dogs, dogs heavier than me(!), dogs with high energy and ones that are perfect therapy dogs 😅🥰 But most importantly I love and care for them all the same way 💕💕 I currently have the summer off from work as I work in a school, so I am home 24/7. I’m very active and love to explore new places🥰🥰 I live in a bottom floor flat with our own entry, with a non-fenced garden. It is not near a main road. I’m happy to crate dogs if needed, or they can be out all day with me ☺️☺️
About: I have experience dealing with both small and large dogs, having had a little Pug x Beagle and a much larger Rhodesian Ridgeback in the past. I’m currently working full-time but have flexible hours, allowing me to work from home on Fridays and have Saturdays and Sundays free, which I would love to spend caring for your dog. I have a large fenced garden and own one British Shorthair cat who was raised alongside two dogs. I am very experienced walking dogs and have a passion for pet care.
About: I’ve been a dog lover since a young age. Living with dogs as a child was an absolute joy. I’m great with all dogs big, small and everything in between! I’ve never met a dog that doesn’t like me and you can rest assured your dog will be treated as if it were my own in my care. For your peace of mind I also have a diploma in dog sitting/walking. This is a relatively new venture for me but one I am extremely passionate about and I strive to not let people down. I currently have a French bulldog/dachshund cross who love cuddles. she gets lots of attention including long walks and plenty of play. I am a stay at home person looking for a new opportunity think that I will be golden dog sitter and would never let someone down. I have a Frenchbull dog crossed with a dachshund she is just over a year old loves cuddles and attention she goes for long walks and loves to play.

“Thanks for taking such good care of Cookie, Rachael. After a quick sniff around, Cookie felt right at home! Great comms. Calm environment. We will definitely bring Cookie again.”
“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. 🙏”
“This was our labrador, Riku’s second stay with Angela and we couldn’t be happier. Riku was excited to be there again, and he was extremely well looked after by all the family. We had regular updates with lovely photos which is much appreciated. Big thank you to you all!”
“Exceptional. Niels and Sandy looked after my 14 month old puppy. Helped to train her, carry on her desensitation routine, kept me updated with photos. Two days before we dropped her off, she came into season, Niels and Tanya weren't bothered and carried on looking after Sandy without hesitation. Thanks Niels and Tanya!”
“Monty is so happy to go to sues. When we get there and let him out of the car, he is knocking on their door. He loves to be there and is spoiled rotten. Would deffently recommend her.”
“Maria and her husband have been brilliant with my Susie these last two days - it’s been hot and they have catered to Susie’s needs so kindly. It meant I could go and help family and not worry about my girl. I especially loved receiving the photos of Susie looking so relaxed and happy. Lovely people who really love the dogs they care for. Will definitely use again :)”
“Jess and her family provided a safe, secure and loving environment for our Jazz. She was well looked after and Jess updated us with lovely photos while we were away. The adoring look Jazz gave Jess as we prepared to leave and the way she greeted Jess’s partner when he returned to the house, spoke volumes to us. We would happily recommend Jess’s services”
“We had never left Matilda with non-family before so were worried but we had a lovely meet with Patri before our booking date and this really put our minds at rest and we knew that Matilda would be well looked after and we had nothing to worry about. Patri asked all the right questions to ensure she gave Tilda the best care. When we left her she was not at all bothered and Patri sent us photos to show she practically went straight to sleep :) Thank you Patri, we certainly enjoyed our event more not worrying about Tilda and knowing she was in good hands,”
“Outstanding & highly recommended. Ewa and her partner were amazing with my anxious Labrador Lola. Lola experiences separation anxiety but they were so calm and kind which helped her to settle. They taught her new tricks, took her for plenty of walks (including a swim in the river which she loved) and kept her entertained with ball games. Lola can find it difficult to settle at night when she’s away, but she felt so comfortable with Ewa that there were no problems. I will definitely leave Lola with Ewa and her partner again.”
“I can not recommend Ashley enough! I'm always cautious as to who looks after my Great Dane because he can be a handful but Ashley put my mind at ease. He had a great time and I'll definitely be returning my boy to Ashley again soon.”
“As first time dog owners leaving our 7 month old puppy for the first time was daunting. Dawn was amazing… ❤️ she made us feel instantly at ease and looked after Ralph like he was her own. Communication was perfect throughout and her own dog Obi is the gentlest and best companion ever… already booked in for Ralph’s 2nd visit…”
“I’ve never left my boy with anyone other than family or close friends in my house so leaving him with a stranger was so hard for me but Zara was so sweet and reassuring, she sent me regular updates and loved my dog like her own! My dog is reactive and has allergies and she handled everything like a pro! Ivar is excited for his next holiday at her house 🥰”
“Jasmine looked after Frankie for the weekend and was fantastic. Frankie took to her straight away. She kept in touch with us throughout the whole time with updates/pictures, communication was great from start to finish. We’d definitely recommend Jasmine and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
“Guoda has been a excellent host, not giving me even one minute of worry about how my kitten does at foreign territory. She is experienced & made Luna feel comfortable at her home 🏡. Luna even befriended her own Cat Lotus ♡ Guoda had been very informative / knowledgeable about care plans for pets, provides nail maintenance, mouth care and other requested pet care ♡ She has a spacious home environment to provide safe care for the pets. I was very pleased with Guoda's professional service for my kitten Luna 🐈⬛️ I will be definitely using her service again ♡ Thank you Guoda!”
“We left our old dog, Cassie, with Scott and his family for nearly three weeks. Cassie bonded well with them and we received updates at regular intervals. We felt very reassured as we were apprehensive about leaving her, as she had not been away before. We would thoroughly recommend Scott and his family as perfect dog sitters.”
“Our previous sitter cancelled on us at the last minute and Beatrice stepped in with almost no notice to look after Sasha. She was really easy to deal with and made us feel completely at ease about leaving her. She kept sending photos and you could tell Sasha felt welcome and really enjoyed the walks to the beach. She looked properly happy and relaxed the whole time. Beatrice’s dog also welcomed Sasha home and was so playful and relaxed with her, which made a big difference. We’ll definitely be asking her again. 100% recommended.”
“Excellent experience with Rakesh and Gillian. Lots of updates on how Bumble was doing and some lovely photos. They were very accommodating when I had to change my dates / times slightly. Both appeared very loving and caring with Bumble. It’s very apparent how much they both love animals especially dogs. I will have now hesitation booking them again xx”
“Piotr has been excellent in all regards with quick communication and updating throughout my dog Benny's stay. He kept me updated with photos and messages over the duration of my holiday. Piotrs house and garden are perfect for dogs and his family have have kept my dog company. Benny has returned very happy and healthy and has clearly had a great time away. I highly recommend Piotr and will be using his service again in the future. Thank you Piotr”
