What ever your dog needs...high energy or cozy snoozes, short walks or long adventures, I can offer this whilst making sure I follow your instructions so your dog feels safe and consistently cared for whilst you're away. I am happy to follow feeding schedules, adminster basic medications if required, and provide plenty of enrichment, exercise and affection. Your dogs safety and wellbeing are my top priorities and will treat them as if they were my own. DBS checked. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! I work from home.

“Donna is a real life angel! She has been so great with my 7 month old puppy Goose - a high energy cocker spaniel. She offered a meet-up first at her home, showed me around and Goose was immediately at easewith Donna. Throughout the stay Donna has sent me lots of updates and photos. Goose is very lucky to have such a fantastic dog sitter! I would highly highly recommend Donna.”

About: As a soon to be veterinarian graduating this summer, I bring a unique combination of professional animal-care experience and a genuine lifelong love of animals. I have grown up around dogs, horses and cattle and have spent years caring for and working with animals in a variety of settings. My veterinary training has given me a strong understanding of canine health, behaviour and welfare, as well as the confidence to care for dogs with different needs. I am comfortable looking after puppies, senior dogs and dogs requiring medication or additional care, and I am trained to recognise when a dog may be unwell or needs veterinary attention. Most importantly, I am patient, caring and attentive to each individual dog's personality and routine. I understand that every dog is different, and I want them to feel safe, comfortable and happy while they are in my care. Whether that means an energetic walk, plenty of playtime, a quiet companion for an older dog, or simply sticking closely to their normal routine, I am happy to adapt to their needs. I would treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. As a soon to be veterinarian waiting to graduate, I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. I am available for regular weekday and often weekend bookings, and I am happy to work around your dog's usual routine. I enjoy being active, so walks, playtime and outdoor adventures are something I genuinely look forward to. I can also provide plenty of company and attention at home, while making sure your dog's normal feeding, exercise and medication routines are maintained. I understand how important it is for owners to know their pet is in safe and reliable hands, so I am happy to provide regular updates and photos throughout their stay. Safety and welfare are always my priority. My veterinary training means I am confident recognising changes in a dog's behaviour or health and responding appropriately if something doesn't seem right. In your home, I will respect your space and keep your pet's usual routine as consistent as possible, including feeding, walks, medication and rest. I am happy to follow detailed instructions and make sure your dog feels comfortable and settled. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be daunting, so I aim to build trust with both pets and owners through clear communication, regular updates and plenty of care and attention. Every dog is treated as an individual, with their personality, needs and comfort taken into account.

About: Love being around dogs, big or small! Have two dachshunds of my own and I love how all dogs have different characters! Playing with them and interacting I currently work 8-6. Thursdays Saturdays and Sundays off.. if during the week they would have to be ok with being left. Weekends I can be there most if not all day I give your pets my full attention, to whatever there needs require! I like to keep them entertained and burn off some of that energy they may have!

“Hilda had a great day with Nick and his dogs. I was very grateful Nick was able to keep her cool in the shade of his home during an unexpected heatwave whilst I was on holiday here. Thank you!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and love animals (unless they are rodents!) Ive had experience from 5 week old pups all the way to caring for dogs in their senior years, giving medication, insulin injections etc. After losing our beloved 16 year old Patterdale last year, it’s left a big hole and as much as we don’t feel ready to bring another dog into our lives just yet, I’m certainly missing my dog fix. My dog came before everything - just ask my husband! 🤣 And I will treat yours no different. We are an early rising household so you can drop off as early as you like. We are an active house. I work from home so generally will be able to accommodate walks and feeding at their usual times so not to disrupt their routines. There will be times when I need to go out so a dog that is happy to be left for a couple of hours would fit in nicely but if this isn’t possible I can probably work around it with some notice. Daycare and overnight boarding is available and we are central Yeovil based and easy to find. We have a reasonable size garden with grass and patio, with a mix of sun and shade. The garden is fully secure. Within walking distance of the house there is a small field, a park and plenty of pavement walks. Ham Hill Country Park is only a short drive away so if you’d like them walked here your dog will need to be crate trained for the car journey. All walks will be done on a lead for all of our peace of mind! Inside the house it’s open plan living so your dog will have the run of the ground floor with the exception of my treatment room. The upstairs will remain out of bounds.

About: Your dog will be part of our family life, Here in Axminster, abiding by there routine. I am an auxillery Nurse so if your dog takes meds no problem. keeping to there diet. Come and look at the property and meet us before hand. I have an Orthopedic dog bed if so required for hip and joint issues. We walk up to 4 times a day, or as required by you. We live 5 mins away from a river and fields so its lovely and green. Dogs come before owners in this house. I have worked for ottery st Mary Cat protection league, re-homing, and rescue. On holiday for two weeks no problem. We have 3 dog so your pooch needs to be used to other dogs. Degree in Animal Welfare Diagnostics Dog Health Certificate can be seen no problem Worked in Albania rescuing dogs off the streets health checking, worming, into a safe zone. I do not work so I'm able to give my time to my passion Dogs come first My dogs have 3 hours walk per day this is important for there enrichment The garden is walled and 6 foot fencing with trees in front. As i work for volunteering rescuing dogs from abroad occasionally the garden has to be secure

“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.”

About: DBS Checked | Fully Insured | Driving Licence | Own Vehicle | 5 Years Animal Rescue Volunteering | Right to Work in the UK I have been surrounded by animals since early childhood and have always cared for both dogs and cats. Throughout my life, I’ve lived with one, two, and sometimes even three dogs at the same time of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, so I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I have completed basic dog training courses and spent 10 years volunteering at a dog and cat shelter, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals, supporting rescues, and helping with adoption processes. I am confident handling both small and large dogs and can comfortably walk multiple dogs at once in a safe and calm manner. I genuinely love spending time with animals — whether that’s going for long walks, playing, providing companionship, or simply making them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am patient, attentive, and reliable, and I always make sure pets receive plenty of care, affection, exercise, and attention. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, and I will always treat your pets as if they were my own. I would be delighted to help care for your furry family members. I am currently not working, which means I can fully dedicate my time and attention to caring for pets. I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekends, for walks, drop-ins, daycare, or overnight care. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I would love to make pet care my long-term profession. In the near future, I am planning to take professional canine behaviour and dog training courses to further improve my knowledge and skills as a future dog trainer. I always make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship, while following their usual routines to help them feel comfortable and secure. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident and relaxed when leaving their pets in someone else’s care, so I always provide a calm, caring, and reliable environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walking routines, medication, training, and any special requirements. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments, including energetic dogs, shy pets, and senior animals. During walks, I stay attentive and safety-conscious at all times, and I am comfortable handling multiple dogs when needed. I also make sure pets receive regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can feel reassured while they are away. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect, as if they were my own.
