Monty had an amazing time. Sue was great with him even when he was being a petulant child. He loved them as he cuddled them on leaving. Not even sure he wanted to come home.

Theo had a wonderful time staying with Aga. He settled straight in, loved the garden and playing fetch! Then enjoyed cuddles on the sofa 🐶 Aga is super friendly, quick to respond and kept me updated throughout with photos. Theo can’t wait to stay again.

About: March 2026: I’ve been a spaniel owner for 15 years - puppies through to seniors. I’ve had my working cocker, Frankie, since he was 8 weeks old and trained him myself. He’s now 5 and, like most spaniels, loves everyone! I have also looked after friend’s dogs over the last few years. Prior to Frankie, I rescued 2 male american cocker spaniels that had never been socialised. They certainly tested me but I learnt a lot from the experience. As a dog owner, when I’m looking for a sitter myself, I’m looking for someone who is capable, confident and calm. I need to feel a certain energy and know that my dog will be exercised safely and cared for with kindness. I can offer all of this. I can only consider dogs up to 18kg in weight. I work from home for my husband’s business and can manage my own time. My day always starts with walking Frankie, sometimes in Upton Country Park and sometimes Hamworthy park. I’m out for another walk mid afternoon and if weather permits Frankie will spend part of the day mooching around the garden. I’m fine with special requirements and I can accommodate short walks for seniors if required. I have a fully secure, large garden. Also, plenty of space indoors, a large kitchen diner and a utility room. I have a puppy pen and a large crate if required. Frankie has been sleeping in his bed in the corner of my bedroom but my preference would be for him to sleep downstairs if he has a companion.

I had regular updates to show me that Teddy was happy and safe. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking a trustworthy dog sitter. Once again thank you Joan and Phil.

About: Hi, I’m Lily, a passionate animal lover and experienced pet carer offering a safe, loving home environment for your pets. I work as a children’s social worker, which means I am around throughout the day and can provide plenty of supervision, companionship, and care for pets in my home. My professional background means I am highly responsible, trustworthy, calm under pressure, and experienced in meeting individual needs. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. I currently have two house rabbits of my own, who are kept in their own separate room away from any dogs attending doggy daycare, so everyone can remain safe and comfortable. Over the years, I have carried out drop-in visits, feeding sessions, pop-ins, and dog walking for others. I am confident in managing pets with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I understand how important it is for owners to know their pets are in safe hands. Whether your pet needs company during the day, a walk, feeding visits, or loving care while you’re away, I will treat them as if they were my own, with patience, attention, and lots of affection. I would love to meet you and your pet and provide a caring, reliable service you can trust. I work from home during the week, which means pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and allows me to provide regular supervision, companionship, toilet breaks, feeding, and attention throughout the day. I am able to build walks, playtime, and care around my schedule, ensuring pets are not left alone for long periods. My evenings and weekends are also flexible, allowing me to accommodate dog walks, drop-in visits, and daycare depending on your pet’s needs and routine. In my home, I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets are supervised, given regular toilet breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of affection. I always follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walk preferences, and any individual needs. I have two free roaming house rabbits of my own, who will be kept on a separate floor away from any dogs attending daycare, ensuring a safe environment for all animals. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I respect their routine and home environment, making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for in familiar surroundings. Whether this is feeding, drop-in visits, companionship, or walks, I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs and always provide reliable, attentive care.

About: My family had owned pets pretty much my whole life, from small animals like gerbils and budgies, to dogs and cats! As a somewhat paranoid pet owner myself, I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pets care to someone else, and as a result I aim to give the same standard of care as I would for my own pets. I am also able to provide care for birds. as I am at home from university over the summer period, I am very flexible in terms of when I am available to provide pet care. The care I provide can vary depending on the needs of your pet. I will ensure their environment is safe at all times, paying careful attention to any specific hazards or concerns you may have. And of course walking/feeding/playing.

About: I take the time to understand every dog’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages and temperaments, including seniors and anxious pups, and I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I don't work now, so I can devote all of my time to caring, playing and fun walks with your dog. I have two parks near by and we have lots of calm cuddles and comfy naps after. I am licenced with BCP and Safety, trust, and a calm environment are always my top priorities. I care for pets in a clean, secure, and comfortable home where they’re never left unattended for long periods. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, and care instructions to help them feel settled and stress-free. I keep a close eye on behavior, energy levels, and appetite, and I’m quick to respond if anything seems off. I treat every pet like family—making sure they feel safe, loved.

About: Here’s a polished, clear rewording that keeps everything you said but flows better and sounds friendly and professional: I currently live in a house and have a young child under the age of two. I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, including Dalmatians, German Shepherds, King Charles Spaniels, and Yorkshire Terriers. I work in Christchurch, which allows me to offer daytime dog walks and visits during the week, and I am also available for evening walks and care in Poole. If you are looking for home boarding, I work from home and can provide full-day care and supervision. I have been around dogs from a young age. My family adopted a King Charles Spaniel who required daily walks and twice-daily feeding, and he was extremely well loved and cared for. Because of his affectionate nature, we later welcomed a miniature Dachshund into our family, who has recently turned five, giving me hands-on experience with different temperaments and smaller breeds. In addition I previously lived with a German Shepherd and a Dalmatian, which has further expanded my experience with larger dogs. I’ve grown to love caring for them there’s nothing better than coming home to a happy, excited dog. I am very flexible with timings and happy to help whenever needed. Please feel free to message me for any further details. I would be more than happy to assist with any dog or cat and care needs. I currently work full time in at an office job in which my hours are 9am - 5pm, Monday to Friday but can work around my hours during the weekend and can be more available on weekends depending on you’re requirements. I currently have moved into a house and which is located close to Poole park so your dog can be enjoy running around and going on lovely adventures. If I was to visit or house sit this would be different as I would ensure your dog has the same love and care they deserve making sure they are well fed, loved and given generous walks.

About: have been a passionate dog lover my entire life and have extensive experience looking after pets. I was the proud owner of a wonderful dog who was part of my family for 11 years, as well as other family dogs who lived happy lives up to 18 years old. Sadly, they have passed away, and I miss having that furry companionship around the house. This is why I would love to welcome your dog into my home and give them all the care, safety, and love they deserve. Your dog will be treated like a true member of the family while staying with me. They are more than welcome to sleep in the bedroom with me, so they never feel lonely at night. We will go on plenty of outdoor walks together to keep them happy and active. I am dedicated to giving your pet so much love, playtime, and attention that they won’t even have time to miss you! I do not work, so I am always at home for them. I never leave the pets alone, which means your dog will have constant company and 100% of my attention. In my home, safety is the top priority. I always ensure that the environment is secure, with no hazardous objects within reach. Since I am home full-time, the pets are constantly supervised and never left alone. Before any stay, I prefer to meet the owners and the pet to fully understand their specific routine, diet, and behavior, ensuring a safe and stress-free environment for them.

I can’t recommend them highly enough, we had photos and videos throughout the evening and Luna had a fabulous time whilst with them. We’re so happy we found someone to take care of Luna, we’ll definitely be booking with them again 😊

About: My love for dogs is at the heart of everything I do. I believe that pets are family, and I treat them with the same care and respect. From energetic puppies to senior dogs with special needs, I have experience handling a wide range of pet care scenarios. I offer a flexible schedule to accommodate the needs of pet owners, ensuring that your pet receives consistent and attentive care. I provide a safe, secure, and loving environment where pets can thrive and feel at home. I am very precise, so if you have specific instructions for your dog, be reassured they will be followed :) My work is pretty flexible and that allows me to take care of the dogs properly, let them walk regularly. I am available on weekends and weekdays. I have a flat that can accommodate up to two dogs (from the same family or different families) at the same time. They will have space to be comfortable.

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.

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: [Please see below for my price list👇] I have had pets around me my whole life and know how to look after them and make them feel safe, happy and pampered! I currently have 2 cats at home. We used to have a collie but unfortunately she had to be put to sleep which was really hard to deal with 😢 I’ve always wanted to work with animals so this is my dream job and something I hope to stick with for a long time! Drop-in visits (less than 4hrs and including a walk): Between £20-£40 Day bookings between 4-6 hours: £50 6+ hours: Full daily rate of £60 30 min walk: £15 60 min walk: £25 Cat & small animal sitting: £20 for drop-in visit or £40 per day housesitting (Note that additional fees apply when booking through Rover. For other booking and payment options please message me to arrange a meet & greet first.) Unfortunately I cannot offer boarding services at this time. I offer house sitting, dog walking and drop in visits at times of the day that suit you and your needs. I’m usually very flexible, however I do kindly ask for a few days’ notice just in case I happen to be unavailable. I would provide the best care for your pet/s and only do as you’ve instructed me to do. You can trust me to look after your pet with respect and empathy and make sure they’re as comfortable and happy as possible. Please see my Rover calendar, which I update regularly, to ensure I’m free on the days you require. You can trust me to keep your pet/s secure when in my care. Please let me know if there’s anything specific I need to know about your property and your pet. Dogsitting is now my full-time job. I do find that I spend more time in other peoples’ houses than my own sometimes which can be a little strange! 😂 But I love this job and wouldn’t change it for the world, the animals I meet and bond with on a near-daily basis make it all worthwhile! 🥰 When I’m housesitting, there are 2 things which I prioritise: the animal(s), and the security of your home. You can have full peace of mind when booking with me, as I make sure all doors are locked whenever leaving the property, and I stay in touch with you via text while you’re away, letting you know how your pet is doing, if there are any problems, and even sending photos of your furry friend so you know they’re in good hands!

About: I’m an experienced sitter with a genuine love for all animals. I got all my pets through to the tender old ages of 16 through devotion, love and responsibility. I love giving them love and I can take care of senior dogs with all kinds of health problems. I am also DBS checked and I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, birds you name it. I even had horses. I currently work part time and my work is flexible so they will have all the attention and love from me. We’ll go on early morning walks and afternoon walks depending on the weather and between they’ll get to play and have fun! I live in a one bedroom in a long stay hotel setting right now. There’s a bit garden in the back and a big one in front with plenty of routes to the beach. I’m also more than happy to stay at your place and look after your babies in their own environment.

About: My family had a boxer dog called Charlie before I was born until I was 6. My grandparents also had a dog until two years ago, who I walked and played with. 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).

About: I LOVE animals! I have always been an animal lover from a very young age and have had dogs in my home! I love both cats and dogs and am a very respectful, responsible young lady who understands the stress when going away to find someone you feel comfortable and happy with in your home! I have a sprokerpoo called Ernie, and we’ve recently had this issue! I work from home with my own business in social media management, so I thought why not offer pet sitting and other services! I also have qualifications in teaching and elderly care so I am an overall compassionate and loving person! As I work from home (or anywhere with internet) I can virtually be free most of the time to pet sit! I drive and am happy to travel to you for petrol fees! If anyone has any questions you can always message! I am very eager to meet, play with and love your pets just as much as you do 🤍 I work for myself, so I choose my own hours! If you have internet in your home (if I’m house sitting) your pet friends will have a companion all day everyday for as long as you need! Working from home means I have availability to walk and drop in to see your little darlings too! In my home, I have a fully enclosed garden and have to make sure everything is put away! (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!

About: As a Rover client myself since 2021, I know exactly what it takes to provide peace of mind when you trust someone with your four-legged family member. Having used drop-ins, daycare, walks, and boarding from the owner's side, I know how reassuring a quick photo update is, how vital it is to stick to a precise feeding schedule, and how important transparency is. I treat your dog’s routine as absolute law and deliver the exact high standard of care that I expect for my own dog, Odin. Raising my own 5-year-old Black Labrador through the high-energy puppy stages means I am well-versed in positive reinforcement, maintaining house-training schedules, managing teething, and ensuring safe, controlled socialization. Equally, I understand that older dogs have vastly different needs. Whether it's managing a slower pace on our walks, administering oral medications, recognizing signs of joint discomfort, or simply ensuring they have a quiet, comfortable space to rest, senior dogs receive gentle, attentive care here. I am entirely comfortable handling larger, high-energy breeds, managing leash pulling, and ensuring that play sessions remain safe, balanced, and fun. Your dog will seamlessly blend into a structured, active, and reliable daily schedule: 8:30 AM: A long 45–60 minute morning walk at Bournemouth Gardens (plenty of ball-throwing and running around for high-energy pups!). 1:00 PM & 5:00 PM: Dedicated comfort breaks. 8:30 PM: A secondary 45–60 minute evening walk to wind down for the night. 11:30 PM / Midnight: A final late-night comfort break before settling in for bed. Because I share my home with Odin, we strictly accept dogs who are friendly and comfortable with other dogs. Our home is rarely empty. I work a brief shift Monday to Friday from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, and Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. However, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, someone is always at home, ensuring your dog is never left alone during those times. On Mondays and Thursdays, dogs should be comfortable being left for a maximum of 3 hours in the evening alongside Odin. We live in a flat ideally located directly across the road from Bournemouth Gardens, meaning fantastic, green, and expansive walks are right on our doorstep!

Klaudia was amazing. So quick to respond and organise. It was the first time we’ve left our dog with a stranger. She’s an Australian Kelpie that loves long long long walks and games. She had the absolute best time with Klaudia and we were updated with lovely picture and messages throughout. Will 100% be booking guide. The dog can’t wait to go back!
