“If I could give Cathy 100 stars I would!! Brilliant doggy dare care for our Bailey. I was nervous leaving Bailey for the first time, he's a Bichepoo, 12 years old and can be anxious/needy. Cathy reassured me, and from the minute we met, Bailey was comfortable to be left. He stayed for the day, and Cathy sent lots of pictures, he clearly was having a great time, with her dog Barney and Maggie a Bichon Frise! I highly recommend Cathy and will definitely be taking Bailey again.”


“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!”


About: I have grown up with dogs all my life, I used to show dogs and groom them. I've shown at acrafts. I currently have a senior springer spaniel. I recently lost my working cocker to old age who I trained and was a beautiful doggy. I love dogs and could never imagine life without one. I would take excellent care of your special furry friend. I work as a carer mon-wed and can dog sit Thursday, Friday Saturday and Sundays. I am home all day on my days off. I could never imagine life without a dog they really are a special friend and family member. If you are down on holiday and want to do an activity with the family but you have your dog, don't miss out just book your furry friend in with me. I have a high walled court yard, I have a senior dog, he loves new friends, He loves to walk on the beach or in the local parks. We have some beautiful areas to walk here.


“Chico had a lovely time with Jackie, he obviously enjoyed playing with the other dogs there and has arrived home tired and happy. We appreciated Jackie's updates during the day and her no nonsense approach to looking after him. Her understanding of dogs and her care for them is evident. We will happily use her again, I suspect Chico will look forward to it.”


About: Have had experience caring for pets individually (dogs, cats, horses etc) for 8 years. Have had the pleasure of knowing and looking after a wide range of dogs, from old to young and big to small. I am very outdoorsy (though would never turn down the excuse to cuddle with more layed back pups all day) and lucky enough to be situated near many lovely, quiet footpaths along with land of my own. Now i have finished my Alevels i am left with a lot of time to fill. I spend a lot of time outside hiking/ excersising. I also genrally find myself at the gym most evenings (ofcourse not if i am needed elsewhere) Most of my land is unfenced (there are animal proof gates/ fences along the road), however i do have an area fenced off suited to the more 'adventurous' souls. I also have a dog of my own, though quite independant, who can be around/ not around your dogs for company. Likewise i have ponies in the back of my land.

“At just 12 weeks old I was nervous about leaving my pup but Claire was so welcoming; evidently v in tune with dogs. The proof was on the 2nd day I left Figgy, when she (the pup) happily went back to Claire and in fact seemed rather excited to see her again.”


“Ashleigh was extremely helpful and caring and Ronnie the goldendoodle had a wonderful day! This is the first time I’ve used a dog sitting service and I was 100% happy with the experience. Hope to book with Ashleigh again in the near future.”

“Sally was a great host for Asta. She is diligent, kind and friendly. You can tell she is used to caring for dogs and understands their individual personalities. Asta was instantly at home and I felt very comfortable leaving her there. We had lots of updates and it made me happy to see Asta had some furry snuggle spots to sleep on, which would have made her feel very comfortable 😌. Thanks Sally!”


“Bayley has had the best day spending doggy day care time with Beccy. she has come home very tired after fun and walks by the lake. She was clearly very well looked after for the day, allowing us to visit a local attraction whilst on holiday. we would definitely recommend ??”


“I would highly recommend Tia to anybody needing a pet service without a doubt! Tia looked after my 5 month old female Rottweiler on Thursday. She sent me regular updates and pictures to put my mind at ease throughout the day. Tia was a natural with Roxy from the outset. My puppy had a great day and was very happy when I came to collect her. I will definitely use Tia again ☺️ thank you for an amazing service! Roxy can’t wait to come back and play next time”


“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: I started looking after my neighbours 2 dogs, a boarder collie and a smaller breed dog! I would walk them twice a day all through the fields and rivers playing with lots of toys, I would do visits to play with them and to spent time with them in the garden, feed them, take them out, wash them off after muddy walks and make sure they always had everything they needed, I did this for about 6-7 months until I moved house, I now have my own dog who is a 1 year old german shepherd who is my full responsibility, I know how much your pets mean to you so I will always make sure to look after them as I would want mine to be!! I'm currently not working at all, so I have lots of time on my hands to help out others with there pets, I'm available most time of the day and pretty flexible! I have a German shepherd who loves to play with other bigger dogs!! A large garden with tall fences and lots of room to play


“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.”


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

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.

“just a day stay with Allana for Bilbo today buy once again I felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care. He settled quickly and Allana sent reassuring photos, videos and messages throughout the day. She was kindly very flexible on pick up time which was a lot of pressure off us. Staying with Allana is a home from home for our dog and we couldn't be recommend anyone more.”
