Sarah got on very well with my young dog, Ivor. She entertained him with fun and play in the garden and house. When I met her for a meet and greet she seems very knowledgeable and caring and she kept Ivor safe on the walk by letting him interact appropriately with other dogs and not becoming too boisterous!

Tianna took really good care of my little girly. Even though the weather was really hot and couldn't go out for walks, she made sure Tilly had the best of time with one-one play.

About: I don't have any pets of my own but I have grown up in a family dog boarding business so I have been surrounded by different types of dogs from a young age. I am currently working part time at a kennels from where I have been since October 2024. I studied a 2 year course at Kingston Maurward College completing a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management, where I also completed 440 hours worth of experience at a vets. I also gained 9 months of experience working at that vets as a Animal Nursing Assistant. Please contact me if you have any questions before booking! x I'm currently working 2 days a week at a kennels on Wednesday and Sunday until the end of December 2025. However I am free the other days of the week for pet care services. When looking after your animals I want to make sure that they have the same routine with little disruption to ensure that they are still happy and comfortable while you are away! When booking please provide all instructions and schedules so that this routine can stay the same as much as possible.

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.

About: Experienced pet sitter of nearly 10 years. Leaving your pet is always difficult but they will be in good hands and have a mini holiday of their own! I’ve looked after all sorts of adorable pets from rabbits to horses and everything in between in flats, houses and farms and for the stars . I have two dogs of my own, and have an experience looking after nervous and reactive dogs and always ensure I follow owner’s instructions and what’s best for the animal (i.e. if space is needed around people or other dogs). Age of the animal isn’t a problem and I’m happy and experienced looking after young to old! They will always get love and attention and plenty of play time. I will always send photos and updates to the owner too. I currently work 9-5 Monday to Friday from home with only 1 week day in the office, I’m home on the weekends so plenty of time to help out. I have two dogs with my family at home. I will stick to your animals needs as much as possible so there is little disruption to their normal routine. Walking, feeding, sleep and play time. When booking, please make sure all instructions and schedules are provided so I can match it as close as possible.

About: I treat every pet like my own — with lots of love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I’ve got plenty of hands-on experience thanks to my own dog, Bailey, a 5-year-old Cavapoo who’s playful, great with other dogs but loves a cuddle on the sofa! Whether it’s bouncy puppies who need structure and fun, or older dogs who need a slower pace and a little extra TLC, I’m confident handling it all. I’m reliable, easygoing, and always focused on making your pet feel safe, happy, and right at home. And don’t worry — I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pics and messages! I work shifts at Starbucks, so my schedule is flexible and easy to work around. I make plenty of time each day for walks, cuddles, playtime, and all the care your pet needs. Whether it’s early mornings, afternoons, or evenings, I can usually find a time that works for both of us. Bailey also loves the company, so it’s a great routine for both of us! At my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They’ll have a safe garden, comfy space to relax, plenty of playtime, walks, and lots of love (plus a friendly Cavapoo, Bailey, to keep them company). I keep routines as close to home as possible — whether that’s meal times or sleeping arrangements. If I’m looking after your pet in your home, I make sure to respect your space and stick to your pet’s usual routine. I’ll follow any instructions closely, give regular updates, and make sure your pet feels calm, cared for, and completely comfortable while you’re away.

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.

I am off work for half terms and school holidays and love being able to spend more time looking after pets. I have a fenced garden with room to play and run around and a super friendly cockapoo called Paddington who adores the company of other dogs. I stick to a routine of regular feeding times, two walks every day and regular play time and cuddle time! I will work to the routine of your dog to make them feel safe and welcomed.

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs, I adopted a rescue pup 8 years ago who lives with my Dad. I miss him so much and would love to spread some love to some other cats and doggies in my area. I work as a freelancer so my work is online and I choose my hours, meaning I have lots of flexibility to add some extra joy into my days. I have experience with reactive dogs and while I can’t offer boarding in my own home, I find that animals are much more comfortable in their own homes and surrounding areas. If your dog is particularly reactive to new people, I am happy to set up a meeting beforehand in a neutral setting to get them familiar with me.

About: Hi! I'm Pippa. I have been around dogs for the past 18 years, having owned them since the age of 5. At most I have had 3 dogs in the household at one time, ranging from working gun dog labradors to sprollie rescue. I have also had a single dog in the households with working cockers. We have been able to work on using high energy effectively during training sessions to benefit both myself as the handler but more importantly work with the dogs innate mannerisms to their advantage. I have experience with small to large breeds and am comfortable with pretty much all dogs. I also hold a Canine First Aid diploma, and a Canine Communication Diploma. I aim to provide engaging walks for your dog to ensure the time they get outside is fruitful and provides them with the stimulation every dog needs. If your dog needs a more relaxed environment or struggles with socialisation and reactivity around other dogs and humans, please let me know so that I can provide a suitable walk to make them as comfortable as possible. For drop in visits I am happy to discuss methods of play that your dog enjoys as well as, making sure any rules you put in place for you dog are abided by by myself to ensure consistency in training. If there are any requirements you have for your pet, whether they be an aging dog or a puppy, please feel free to ask questions and provide instructions that you would like followed. I do currently work full time, so I am only able to provide evening slots on weekdays, but I do have much more availability at weekends. I have a currently pet free household so I am able to provide individual care to any pups that require it. However, just up the road at my family home, there is a lovely cooker spaniel who is always up for a play mate should your dog require company on walks.

About: I have always had animals in my life, having my first responsibility for animal care at the age of 9 when I was lucky enough to loan a pony, this gave me a fundamental understanding of the love and care animals need and I have continued my love for providing happy and fulfilling lives for pets since then. I have lived in the same small village since the age of 10 where I now help my elderly neighbours with the weekly dog walking when they need me. I have owned and cared for my pets through each stage of their life, meeting their additional care needs through the later stages of their life providing them with the most comfortable experience possible. Toby (my partner) who often accompanies me on house sits so that we are able to balance working and caring for your pets to the best standard between us, has also had a lifetime of experience with pets. We currently have two cats together that we both equally adore. Both me and Toby are currently working and studying part time so between us we have lots of time to play and fuss over your pets. We aim to prioritise your pets usual daily routine to provide them with the most comfortable experience with me. I will keep your pets company, providing lots of attention whilst keeping up their required exercise.

About: In-your-home or at-my-home pet sitting. Neighbours, friends, family and local pet owners have relied on me to feed, walk, brush, play with and cuddle their beloved pets for many years. I've grown up around dogs, cats, a horse, fish and small animals and feel confident caring for pets of all ages and temperaments. I have a large garden and quiet walks straight from the house. This is my full time job so they will have my company and full attention. We have a cat and 2 old border collies at home which we can keep at separate ends of the house if required. I also have a garden office which can be solely for your dogs too. I can give them as many bathroom breaks as required and playtime. Let me know how much walking they need and other requirements. I am used to both old and energetic pets so will accommodate to their needs and ensure they're happy. I'd need wifi connection so I can update you with photos. I'll stay in your home or mine and feed, brush, let in and out, play, walk, unlimited cuddles... Doggy day care: unlimited cuddles, downtime, play time, feeding etc. I have a huge garden and walks straight from the house. Dogs will be walked on lead unless we've agreed otherwise and their recall is reliable. I do not accept aggressive dogs.

About: What would it take for me to trust someone with my dogs? That was the question I asked myself when I decided to become a professional dog walker. I love my 3 dogs with all my heart and for me to trust someone else is quite a stretch. In-fact, my dog sitter travels all the way down from Wales and stays in my home, when I go on holiday, that's how important trust with my dog sitter is to me. So I take pride in embodying the qualities I'd want to find in my own dogs caretaker. I am attentive to detail when an owner is describing their dogs personality, needs and quirks. I am a great communicator and I am always aiming to reassure my clients that their dog is in good hands whilst they are away on holiday or business. I don't let my attention waver when walking a clients dog, with 3 exuberant larger dog breeds, walk-time focus is a constant need, just as much as fusses and cuddles after the walk. My aim is to use my experience with dogs and help your dog to feel as comfortable as possible whilst you're away. I am registered with the DWSA, I have Canine First Aid and Dog training Skills. Above all, my lifelong love and compassion for animals is the ultimate qualification I could have to look after your beloved dogs. I am full-time professional Dog walker. Therefor, I am here to work around your schedule. I am available weekdays and weekends and I am open to bespoke care routines for your dog, so please speak to me if your dog requires something extra special or unique. My aim is to communicate as much as possible with the pet owner on my initial visit. I want your dog to feel as loved and comfortable as possible whilst your away.

I booked Ruth for a sit and walk. Both dogs absolutely loved her. We met up before the booking so we could make sure the dogs and I were both comfortable and we felt that she was a perfect match. Ruth is very professional and friendly with a real passion for what she does. During the appointment Ruth sent photos of the dogs having a great time. I would highly recommend her and I will be definitely using her services again. Thank you Ruth you helped make our day ?

About: I am a fully qualified veterinary nurse and I enjoy looking after and walking dogs in my spare time. All dogs will be looked after in a home environment with someone in the house all day. We are situated off the main road near a public footpath which is a great place for walks, we also have a fenced garden for the dogs to run around in. I am able to care for dogs with specific medical and dietary requirements. I have experience coping with reactive and difficult dogs and am able to provide a routine specific to their individual needs. Dogs can be looked after in a home environment with or without other dogs. Im currently working part time so i look after the dogs when i am not working which gives me lots of time for walking. I list my availability on the calendar so you can see before booking. I have a fenced garden and field walks nearby which gives me lots of options for exercising i also like to take the dogs out in the car for walks further away if they are happy to travel.

Molly is an excellent animal sitter. She cares for pets needs alongside spending time loving and playing with them, exercising them, sitting quietly with them, and making them feel special, whether that is a cat, dog, pony, small fury or duck. Her home is warm, friendly and with fields behind to play and exercise in, it is a perfect home from home.

Pippa has been brought up with our family pet dogs and part time working dogs all of her life. Due to her interest and love of dogs, she has involved herself in the welfare of our dogs including feeding, daily walks both on and off the lead, being a responsible dog owner by clearing up their mess, grooming, vet visits, basic first aid, administering medicine and flea control. She has also contributed to their training, including clicker training as puppies and then training on the whistle and accompanying them on some of their working days. I have full confidence in Pippa's ethos and ability in putting the animals at ease, gaining their trust and in respecting the owners wishes regarding their dogs and the care they receive. She is a competent handler on the lead and has energy to play with highly sprung springers as well as the patience to accompany older boys on a gentle stroll and I have no hesitation in recommending Pippa as a dog sitter.

Georgia is a really kind, conscientious and thought pet caregiver. She was super with my cats whilst I was away and looked after them very well. She was good at communicating with me and my pet requests and I went on holiday feeling like my pets were in good hands. Thank you Georgia ☺️

Imogen has looked after our dogs, cat and chickens on several occasions while we go away on holiday. She is very caring and attentive with the animals and they were always well cared for and very happy to be around her. She is very trustworthy and I would have no hesitation recommending her as a pet or house sitter.

My dogs love faye and they really enjoy her walks. I'm quite confident to leave my dogs with faye because her love for animals and her ability to show responsibility shows in how consistently and trouble free the dogs walks get completed

I booked Ruth for a sit and walk. Both dogs absolutely loved her. We met up before the booking so we could make sure the dogs and I were both comfortable and we felt that she was a perfect match. Ruth is very professional and friendly with a real passion for what she does. During the appointment Ruth sent photos of the dogs having a great time. I would highly recommend her and I will be definitely using her services again. Thank you Ruth you helped make our day ?

About: I am a fully qualified veterinary nurse and I enjoy looking after and walking dogs in my spare time. All dogs will be looked after in a home environment with someone in the house all day. We are situated off the main road near a public footpath which is a great place for walks, we also have a fenced garden for the dogs to run around in. I am able to care for dogs with specific medical and dietary requirements. I have experience coping with reactive and difficult dogs and am able to provide a routine specific to their individual needs. Dogs can be looked after in a home environment with or without other dogs. Im currently working part time so i look after the dogs when i am not working which gives me lots of time for walking. I list my availability on the calendar so you can see before booking. I have a fenced garden and field walks nearby which gives me lots of options for exercising i also like to take the dogs out in the car for walks further away if they are happy to travel.

Vicky is an exceptional dog carer, we cannot recommend her calm, patient, kind nature highly enough. She is regularly entrusted with our three very precious four legged family members which is not something we would want just anyone to do! We have regular updates during her visits and the dogs are always happy and relaxed at the end of a 'Vicky' day. Vicky is always on time and 100% reliable in every way.
