Thank you to Ruth and her family for looking after Heidi so well. Heidi seemed very relaxed and happy with them. I was sent lots of updates and photos and Heidi was taken on some lovely walks. I'd be very happy to use Ruth again.

She was wonderful with Wilford, we were greeted with warmth when dropping him off/picking him up and felt safe leaving him there for the night. Constant pictures and videos of his evening and morning whilst we were out ourselves which we loved

Rachael is a very friendly and approachable person with a bubbly personality. She paid close attention to every detail, including asking about allergies and my dog’s specific needs. The accommodation was welcoming and well prepared, and I really appreciated receiving regular photos showing how my dog was spending their time. I was very happy with the level of care provided and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter!

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!

We were really nervous leaving our Cockapoo Puppy, Enzo overnight with a stranger. Enzo suffers from separation anxiety and we had never previously left him for more than a few hours. We visited Maria before confirming the booking for an overnight stay. We found her and her partner to be a lovely couple with a genuine fondness for dogs. We were still apprehensive when we dropped Enzo off for his stay and a little concerned that Maria also had another dog staying. However Enzo soon settled down and was very relaxed when we picked him up the next morning. Maria sent regular updates with video clips and text msgs to show how well Enzo was getting on throughout his stay. We would not hesitate to use Maria again or recommend her to anyone.

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,

Sharon is the first person I've used on the app and she was absolutely brilliant! She immediately made me feel comfortable, and kept in touch whilst I was away sending photos and videos of my pup with her family, on walks and looking very content which eased my nerves. Sharon was really accommodating when we were caught in traffic and unable to make it back at the stated time. Thank you Sharon for making Hollie so welcome.

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.

If you need a kind, professional dog sitter and trainer, look no further than David. He took on our newly rescued dog (urgently) with behavioural issues and worked absolute wonders. He was so kind, understanding, and professional from the very first moment. Our dog improved impressively during his stay. David also spent time coaching us on how to practice at home. Super professional and genuinely nice—we highly recommend him!

We couldn’t be happier with the care our cat received ( coco and loki ) From the very beginning, Piotr was kind, caring, reliable, and clearly passionate about animals. It was such a comfort knowing our cat was in such loving and capable hands. We received updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind and made us feel connected even from afar. Our cat was happy, relaxed, and clearly very well looked after when we returned. We would highly recommend Piotr to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring. We will definitely be booking again! ❤️🐾

Thanks Katie for looking after Donny. You said you thoroughly enjoyed having him and he seemed very at ease with you when you dropped him off. We organised with short notice and you were quick to respond which really helped me out. You turned up on time, at the agreed time and place. Couldn’t have been easier. I’ll organise another date soon with you. Many thanks.

About: I genuinely love spending time with cats and understand that every one has their own unique personality. Whether your cat is playful and curious, shy and independent, or simply loves a quiet cuddle, I’ll always take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for. Growing up, my family had a much-loved cat called Fluffy, who was part of our family for many years. Since then, I’ve looked after cats for friends and clients, including house sitting for Luna and caring for my friend’s cat, Arlo. These experiences have taught me how important it is to stick to each cat’s routine and respect their individual needs. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, so I’ll care for your cat as if they were my own. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime (if they enjoy it) and lots of affection on their terms. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your cat is happy, safe, and in caring hands.

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.

About: I have grown up with dogs and love being in their company. I have experience of looking after many types of dog and would have plenty of time to spend walking and playing with your pet. I work from home part-time (22 hours) so I have plenty of time to care for your dog. I live in a 4 bedroom house with a secure garden. I have two daughters, a 14 year old and a 6 year old, both are very happy and comfortable around dogs. I have a secure fenced garden with plenty of space for your pet to run around. There are lots of great places locally for dog walks, including the local rec. I have no dogs or other animals of my own. I work part-time, from home. This allows me to be flexible to your dogs routine, such as toilet routines, exercise, play, feeding etc. I spend a lot of time at home so your dog will have plenty of company. I have a secure, fenced garden. I am also trained in dog first aid/CPR (September 2022) and have access to a dog first aid kit. I live near plenty of lovely places to walk your dog.

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.

I cannot rate Sonya highly enough! What an absolutely fantastic sitter. She was prompt, considerate, attentive and conscientious. Wesley is normally very reluctant to go off with people he doesn't know but Sonya ensured that he was well cared for and her patience with him was so special. She paid particular attention to him not over heating, his eating and drinking and his cuddles. I feel so chuffed that we found this true, amazing and capable dogsitter. Thank-you Sonya for your care. And in case it hasn't come across in the above I 100% would trust Sonya with Wesley any time again in the future and recommend her wholeheartedly.

About: I'm David, currently completing my professional dog trainer certification. I offer patient, structured care for dogs of all ages and temperaments — from energetic pups needing a good walk to older dogs who just want a calm, familiar face. My training background means I'm confident handling leash manners, basic obedience, and dogs who need a bit of extra structure or reassurance while their owners are away. Based in Poole, I treat every dog in my care like my own — with consistency, patience, and genuine attention. Monday to Thursday is when I'm most available for drop-ins. I also work night shifts on weekends, so I can fit in daytime visits before my shift starts on those days too. I keep a consistent schedule so your dog can rely on the same times and pace each visit, and I'm happy to discuss specific timing needs before booking to make sure it works for both of us. Your dog's safety is my top priority. I use secure leashes and harnesses, avoid off-lead situations unless explicitly agreed with you, and stay alert to other dogs, traffic, and wildlife on every walk. I'm currently completing professional dog trainer certification, which means I'm trained to read canine body language and step in early if a situation looks like it could escalate.

About: Extensive experience caring for and boarding dogs from a young age as a part of a family business. I grew up in a home where we boarded all kinds of animals but mainly dogs. We have had long term and short term stays and dealing with all different breeds and personalities has taught me patience, care for specific needs, a deeper understanding for how each dog requires different activities for stimulation and fun. This inspired me to do my canine psychology A-level as I was so passionate about caring for dogs, knowing their rich history and knowing how to care for them in the right way. I am currently studying Canine psychology from home so my hours are very flexible. I am a full time carer for my Dog Buddy who is a lively and very friendly cockapoo, aged 2. My daily and weekly routine would be built around your dogs needs and comfort. I have cared and looked after many different dogs, including anxiously attached. My home has a fenced garden that is fully secure so you're dogs can roam free. They are allowed in all areas of the home as its fully safe and secure. There are plenty of safe places around me (woods, park, beach) depending on your preference. Your dog would have my full attention and love as dogs are the thing that makes me happiest in the world.

I know how to make them feel safe, cared for and happy I currently work remotely from home, which gives me plenty of time for walks and playtime with your furry friend. My children absolutely love dogs and cats and enjoy spending time with them, helping with play and gentle care, which creates a warm and friendly environment for any pet. I have two spacious gardens where pets can safely run, play or relax, as well there’s a beautiful park just a short walk away — perfect for longer adventures.

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.

Georgina looked after our Labrador whiles we were on holiday for a couple of days and she was just wonderful, from meeting her for the first time she put Henry (Labrador) at ease and ourselves instantly we knew he was in good hands. Would not hesitate in recommending Georgina 100%. She kept us updated on how Henry was doing thought out the day with photos and a little message nothing was too much trouble for her. Thank You

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.

Krzysztof and his family took great care of my dog while I was at work. They played with him a lot which he really enjoyed and his son became his best play friend. By the time I took him home, he was already crying after Krzystof's son. Thank you for treating Mochi like your own!

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.

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 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!

Rachael is a very friendly and approachable person with a bubbly personality. She paid close attention to every detail, including asking about allergies and my dog’s specific needs. The accommodation was welcoming and well prepared, and I really appreciated receiving regular photos showing how my dog was spending their time. I was very happy with the level of care provided and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter!

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!

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!

We were really nervous leaving our Cockapoo Puppy, Enzo overnight with a stranger. Enzo suffers from separation anxiety and we had never previously left him for more than a few hours. We visited Maria before confirming the booking for an overnight stay. We found her and her partner to be a lovely couple with a genuine fondness for dogs. We were still apprehensive when we dropped Enzo off for his stay and a little concerned that Maria also had another dog staying. However Enzo soon settled down and was very relaxed when we picked him up the next morning. Maria sent regular updates with video clips and text msgs to show how well Enzo was getting on throughout his stay. We would not hesitate to use Maria again or recommend her to anyone.

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,

Sharon is the first person I've used on the app and she was absolutely brilliant! She immediately made me feel comfortable, and kept in touch whilst I was away sending photos and videos of my pup with her family, on walks and looking very content which eased my nerves. Sharon was really accommodating when we were caught in traffic and unable to make it back at the stated time. Thank you Sharon for making Hollie so welcome.

She had plenty of walks, treats and love while she stayed with Jasmine, which is all Lola really wants. Photos reassured me she was doing well 😊

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.

If you need a kind, professional dog sitter and trainer, look no further than David. He took on our newly rescued dog (urgently) with behavioural issues and worked absolute wonders. He was so kind, understanding, and professional from the very first moment. Our dog improved impressively during his stay. David also spent time coaching us on how to practice at home. Super professional and genuinely nice—we highly recommend him!

We couldn’t be happier with the care our cat received ( coco and loki ) From the very beginning, Piotr was kind, caring, reliable, and clearly passionate about animals. It was such a comfort knowing our cat was in such loving and capable hands. We received updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind and made us feel connected even from afar. Our cat was happy, relaxed, and clearly very well looked after when we returned. We would highly recommend Piotr to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring. We will definitely be booking again! ❤️🐾

We organised with short notice and you were quick to respond which really helped me out. You turned up on time, at the agreed time and place. Couldn’t have been easier. I’ll organise another date soon with you. Many thanks.
