“Brilliant! Thank you so much, kept me updated on Barney every day with pictures and videos, really went out your way for Barney and made him feel so at home! I will definitely rebooking in the near future! Thankyou to you & your family for everything you have done :)”
“Keith and Michelle were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Maya. They are kind, caring, and clearly love what they do. Maya enjoyed plenty of long walks and came home happy and relaxed. I couldn’t ask for better people to look after her — highly recommended!”
“Ross looked after my Jackapoo Enzo for a night last weekend, Enzo can be quite choosy as to who he gets to like but immediately took to Ross who clearly has a great way with dogs. I was struck by Ross’s preparation involving a questionnaire about Enzo and his likes and dislikes. Ross will be my go to person when Enzo needs to be cared for in the future.”
“Morgan was great with Daisy and really put my mind at ease. Morgan was happy to do a meet and greet first before I confirmed and booked, she asked lots of questions and was happy to answer mine. I got an update whilst Daisy was with her which was nice as I knew Daisy was relaxed. Daisy seemed to enjoy her stay and I will definitely be using Morgan again for some future dates.”
“Archie and Islay had a wonderful time with Jackie while we were on holiday in Dorset. Jackie was very friendly and the dogs settled in straight away. Five star accommodation in a lovely village.”
“Catherine is such a kind and caring person and made Poppy feel at home as soon as we arrived. She really enjoyed her stay as she was able to sleep in the bedroom, where she sleeps at home. Will definitely be booking her again in the future.”
“This was Gwens first time away from the family and we were worried as she's quite a sensitive dog. Alex was amazing with her, she gave us regular updates and Gwen thoroughly enjoyed her stay. Lots of lovely walks and lots of playing ball. We have no hesitation in using Alex again and thoroughly recommend her. Thanks again Alex and family”
About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and a wide variety of animals, I bring a lifelong dedication to animal welfare and wellbeing. I spent 10 years living and working on a farm with boarding kennels, where I was deeply involved in the daily care, feeding, exercise, and monitoring of animals in both home and professional settings. My passion for animals has been a constant throughout my life, reflected not only in my work but also in always having my own cats and dogs. I am confident, compassionate, and attentive to the individual needs of each animal, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am around all day, which allows me to make sure pets always have access to fresh food and water. I regularly provide walks, playtime, and attention to keep them active and happy, while also monitoring their overall wellbeing. If medication is needed, I can administer it on schedule, and I am comfortable maintaining any training routines to encourage good behavior and consistency. Overall, I make pet care a priority by ensuring pets are safe, comfortable, exercised, and well cared for throughout the day. I provide a safe, trustworthy, and caring environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure while in my care. I have a good-sized fenced garden for outdoor time and exercise, with woods just behind my home as well as plenty of nearby fields and coastal walks that are perfect for dogs who enjoy exploring and staying active. I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident leaving their pets with someone reliable, and I always aim to give pets the same attention and care they would receive at home. I am also happy to come to your home if preferred, helping pets stay relaxed in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine.
“Baxter stayed with Ruth and her family again after a very successful first stay. He was treated with the utmost care and kindness and he made himself very much at home! We had daily messages and photos to keep our children (and our) minds at ease and it was very clear to see how much he enjoyed his stay! We will most certainly book with Ruth again and would recommend to everyone as a perfect home from home environment!”
“Charlie had a great time with a lovely warm family. He had some lovely walks and lots of cuddles. We received regular updates and he came back very happy. We would highly recommend this sitter :-)”
“I highly recommend Sarah, she and her husband Matthew looked after Teddy extremely well. Sarah updated me with photos and messages. Early drop off wasn't a problem at all. Teddy had wonderful time, lots of walks and cuddles. Will be booking Sarah again for next holiday. Thank you xx”
“Sandie looked after our Labrador Luna for 2 weeks and she couldn’t have been in better hands. Luna was treated as part of the family and she had a great time with Sandie and the other dogs. She may even have come back slightly better behaved! Luna was still recovering from an op and Sandie took great care of her so we were able to relax and not worry about Luna.”
“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,”
“Jane was fantastic! Her home and garden are safe and perfect for dogs, and she clearly adores them. River had so much fun playing with Watson and came home happy, relaxed and beautifully brushed. I really appreciated all the regular updates – it was great to know he was in such loving hands.”

About: I believe every dog is unique, and I love getting to know their individual personalities, preferences, and what makes them happiest. I have extensive experience working with small and large dogs, and I’ve also owned a very large dog who sadly passed away last year. My bond with her taught me the importance of understanding and meeting a dog’s emotional and physical needs, and I bring that same thoughtful, personalised care to all the pets I look after. Whether your dog is energetic or more laid-back, I am committed to meeting their specific needs. As an athlete by profession, I’m fully equipped to care for and exercise even the most active dogs. At the same time, I’m patient and take a calm, nurturing approach with less active or older dogs. I will ensure that your dog gets the right balance of exercise, mental stimulation, rest, and love. I understand how important it is to cater to dogs with special needs, whether they have anxiety, nervousness, or behavioral quirks. I use a calm, patient approach to help these dogs feel safe, relaxed, and secure while they’re in my care. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions you have to ensure your dog’s well-being. I’m committed to making sure your dog feels at ease, happy, and well cared for while you're away. With my experience, passion for animals, and dedication to providing quality care, I’m confident I can offer your dog the best possible experience. My work as an athlete doesn’t fall under the same schedule as a normal job. When I work I am usually overseas, and come home for 'rest periods’, so when I am home I am free all day everyday! I am available for what your pet care needs are. My ability to fully dedicate my time when I'm home makes me an ideal sitter for those who want someone with a lot of availability and commitment. I am very open to what your dog’s needs are, and will meet them with ease and kindness. My approach is calm, warm, and loving. I have a spacious house with a fenced garden, and a dog field, fenced and safe behind my house. I can wash, train, walk, do off lead training, feed, crate train, puppy train, the list goes on!
About: Hello! My name is Maddie. I am 19 and have a genuine love for animals. I grew up surrounded by various animals, such as dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, guinea pigs and fish. I have grown up and trained my pup, who is a collie / springer and now have another dog who is a staffy / bulldog, and have always had an open heart to every animal. No job is too big or too small. I am always motivated for a challenge. I have taken care of my dogs since a young age. Taking them on walks, playing games of ball, feeding them well and of course never forgetting lots of cuddles. Currently I am studying a uni course at Weymouth college, whilst working. However, I would like to start dog sitting to get more experience with animals, to have a good opportunity to go into the army as a dog handler. I will make time for your pets, just like mine. If they are shy / nervous / excited / outgoing , they will all be treated with the same patience and love. I am currently at uni two days a week and working 35 hours a week 3/4 days, however I’m still left with around 2/3 days and 2 evenings free to spend with puppers. I have a fenced off, big garden and two dogs that love to play and would get on well with your dog. I can easily make room for crates if needed and live next to a beautiful field and cliffs which are great for walks!
“Maria is a lovely lady and took really good care of my cat Touchy whilst we were away. She sent loads of videos and photos every day which was very reassuring. I would highly recommend Maria and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again in the future. Thank you so much for looking after my little girl ????xx”
About: I'm a passionate animal lover with a special affinity for cats. Having rescued three cats from difficult situations, I understand the importance of patience, love, and care in helping them thrive. I'm experienced in providing a clean and comfortable environment, encouraging exercise and playtime, and offering plenty of cuddles.
“So happy to have found Alannya at short notice to look after our GSDx Bear. We got loads of photo updates, communication was spot on and I left the house feeling super comfortable and happy knowing Bear was in safe hands. Highly recommend x”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Portland
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: My wife, Pisamai and myself have always had a dog until our beloved Dalmatian, Lexi died last year. We miss her so much, but travel a lot, so thought looking after other people's dogs might fill the void! My wife, Pisamai and myself are retired, so unless we are traveling, we spend most of our time either walking, cycling, or at home in Weymouth. We live in Weymouth and have fully fenced garden. We live 10 minutes walk from a beach and numerous other walks, including the Dorset Coast path.
About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life, including growing up with my own dog where I helped with daily care, walks, and basic training. More recently, I regularly look after and walk my nan’s dog, making sure she’s exercised and well cared for. I’ve also helped neighbours, friends, and family with dog sitting, walking, and general care, so I’m comfortable with different breeds and personalities. Whether it’s a relaxed walk or a more active one, I’m happy to adapt to what each dog needs. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and always make sure dogs feel safe, happy, and properly looked after. I work full-time in the fire service, so I’m reliable and used to responsibility, but I still have good availability for dog walking and pet care. I’m available most evenings during the week and more flexible on weekends. I’m happy to offer walks, drop-in visits, and boarding depending on availability. I provide a safe, calm, and caring environment for every dog in my care. I live in a first-floor flat, and any dogs staying with me will never be left alone, with full-time supervision and regular toilet breaks, attention, and a comfortable space to relax. Dogs in my care will get at least two walks a day, usually around an hour, with everything tailored to suit them. Whether they’re young or older, prefer shorter or longer walks, enjoy the beach or quieter routes, or need to be on or off the lead, I always adapt to their needs and your instructions. I’m happy to provide GPS tracking of walks where possible, along with regular photo updates, so you can see exactly where your dog has been and have full peace of mind while they’re with me.
“We met Ross a few weeks ago to introduce ourselves and our dog, Eddie. Yesterday we left Eddie with Ross for a full day and it's obvious that Eddie was very well looked after and that they enjoyed each other's company. There are some lovely walks where Ross lives so the two of them went out walking. Ross sent us some photos and updates throughout the day which is lovely. We will definitely use Ross's service again and have no hesitation in recommending him.”
“We’ve never been so comfortable and happy leaving our Labrador Ned as we were with Jackie, it meant we could enjoy a relaxing day out knowing he was in good hands and enjoying himself. Ned can be very excitable and Jackie instantly knew how to handle this and control him straight away, plus he had a lovely day playing in the garden and enjoying a cool walk in the woods when the weather had cooled off a bit. He slept from the moment he got in the car to the next morning! Thank you Jackie and we will certainly be coming back to you in the future ?”
“Our dog Rudy had the best day with Alexandra! We requested to book only the day before, Alexandra kindly accepted and helped us out with our urgent request and we couldn’t have been happier to find her. She was so professional, doing everything she could to ensure Rudy had a safe and happy stay with her, and providing loads of photos and info on the lovely country walk they went on. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and will be using her for any future dog sitting needs.”
“Kerry and her family were very welcoming when we arrived. I immediately felt sure that Jasper would be well looked after. In fact he never noticed we were leaving. Jasper immediately engaged with Kerry’s dog, Tilly who was very playful and well matched to his energy levels. At the end of the day we collected a very tired but happy and contented doggy. I will definitely use Kerry again when I return to Dorset next year.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs - we’ve had a Dalmatian/ husky / Labrador mix as well as a corgi and then a German shepherd rescue dog who was a very nervous and shy dog. I am proud foster mum to a stubborn sausage dog (who will be able to stay at his owners when I look after other dogs) and have experience looking after energetic spaniels, barky french bulldogs as well as kind and calm rescue dogs from Macao and Romania. I work from home and my job is very flexible so I can give your dog my full attention either at my home or in the home they are used to. I love spending time with furry friends - cuddles, playtime, long or short walks, I’m super easy, caring and attentive. I work from home, my job is very flexible and I can flex my work diary around commitments so can take time off and have plenty of time for walks, play time or wee breaks. I live in a two bed flat with a balcony and an enclosed garden area. I am near lots of fields and places to walk and let dogs run around
“Teddy had a lovely day with Sandie. Sandie is very caring and treats each dog as a special individual. She has a lovely home and lovely local walks. Thank you Sandie for your care for Teddy today.”
“My puppy absolutely loves staying with Cathy it certainly is very much a home from home environment where Cathy treats every dog like her own. She has a lot of experience and is excellent at handling some behavioural issues my dog displays. I highly recommend Cathy for the daycare she offers and she is also very flexible fitting in with my various work schedules.”
“Great service from Victoria! She is very experienced and knowledgeable and I trust her to take good care of our dog. Finley is very excited when she comes to pick him up.”
About: I’ve looked after dogs for several years both my own and other people’s. I have experience with dogs of all ages and love looking after puppies as much as older dogs. I often work from home so I’m able to give dogs lots of love and attention, I have a large fenced garden and loads of toys for them to play with. A usual day involves long walks, playing in the house and garden, playing with toys and enrichment activities and lots of cuddles! The house is very secure with a gate and wall at the garden so when coming in and out there is no chance of a dog escaping. The house is a few minutes walk from a large field where we regularly take our dog and there are lots of other great walks nearby.
“Excellent, very friendly and helpful. Looked after our spaniel really well. Sent pics and reassured us she had settled. Will definitely use her and Jack again and highly recommend them.”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Danielle and partner! From the moment I left Mika on the first day, they were incredibly warm and welcoming—not just to me, but most importantly to my 38kg Bernese puppy, Mika. Finding a daycare that’s not only comfortable with larger breeds but truly understands them can be tough, but they were amazing. Mika can be a bit shy at first, but they were so patient and accommodating, giving her all the time she needed to settle in. They clearly love what they do, and it shows in how happy and relaxed Mika is when I pick him up. It’s such a relief knowing he was in caring, capable hands—and getting plenty of play and cuddles with Caesar while at theirs. Definitely would book again! Thank you so much!”
“Trudy is the best dog sitter I’ve ever used! She took such good care of Logan, and kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos throughout the day. She has been so kind and flexible and I have already rebooked her for two more dates! Highly recommend!”
“Elissia was so great with Bess! She was gentle and patient and made Bess feel right at home. After a whole day playing with her lovely dog, Dora, I’m sure Bess didn’t want to leave in the evening and was very happy to go back the next day! Definitely will be getting in contact with Elissia next time we need a dog sitter.”
About: I am a huge animal lover and always have been. I had very understanding parents as a child so have experience of most domestic animals. I currently have my own little menagerie including a pony, two dogs, a cat and chickens. I have experience of all ages of dogs from very young puppies to dogs in their twilight years. I try to be as flexible as possible but do fit my Rover commitments in alongside teaching part time and caring for my own menagerie. I have recently moved to the Bridport area from London, where I previously walked dogs in my local area. I offer half hourly and hourly walks and have my own transport. In addition to dog walking I am able to offer a limited number of doggy day care slots and also drop in house visits/holiday cover for dogs, cats and smaller pets. I can feed, change litter trays and give lots of cuddles and playtime so your pet is happy and content whilst you are away. Prior to taking on a new client I like to offer a free meet & greet session so we can all get to know each other and I can have a detailed conversation with you about your pets requirements. If you have booked drop in visits I’ll ask you to show me where everything is that I will need to care for your pet when I visit.

About: I LOVE animals! I have always been an animal lover from a very young age and have had dogs in my home!

(Shoes are my puppy’s favourite!) I am very aware of my surroundings with my dog and what is safe for him to eat/not eat! I work full time for myself from home so this allows me a large amount of flexibility regarding my routine. This is a huge benefit to pet owners I help as I can work around your schedule/your pets schedule at ease! If I have any work calls whilst at your home I will let you know timings in advance, but this will not impact your pet sitting/daycare experience in any way! If your pet is coming to my home. He/she will be safe at all times. I won’t leave your pet if that’s what you require and make sure they are safe and well looked after at all times!

My neighbour also would being their cocker-spaniel Poppy to our house a few weekends a year, for us to look after, including taking on regular walks, out to the toilet, etc. I would like to petsit a few weekends a year, probably once a month, and am happy to travel to a variety of places for this. I will ensure the safety of your pet at all times, ensuring I follow the instructions you provide to fulfil the individual needs of your pet. I have high attention to detail, and have worked in environments where responsibility and caring for others is of extreme importance (I worked in a nursery for 3 months over the summer 2021).

“Maria and her partner are just top quality people and the service they had provided was top quality. I was going away to London for a celebration, they invited us over the evening before I was due to go away so Benny could explore there home and meet who he’s going to spend a couple of days with straight away it was clear Benny was going to be very happy. I dropped Benny of early the next morning Maria and her partner took Benny straight out on a walk and he loved every minute of his little trip.

Would recommend 100% highly and would use Maria again. Top quality care. Thank you again for everything.”
