Hi! I'm Gleisa, an experienced and reliable pet sitter based in BH1, Bournemouth.I've always loved animals and have over 3 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens and fish. Most of my clients have come through recommendations from friends and neighbours.I work Hybrid, so during house sitting your pet will have plenty of company, attention and supervision throughout most of the days. I believe pets are happiest in their own home, following their usual routine, and I'll care for yours as if they were my own.I'm happy to keep your home tidy, water plants, bring in the post, and send regular photo updates so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.Availability:
 Dog walking &amp; home visits: Weekdays after 5:30 pm (BH1 and nearby).
 House sitting: Available on selected dates.
Please note: I don't offer boarding in my own home, grooming, dog training or medication administration.








I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! 




I have a lot of experience house and pet sitting and regularly pet sit a gorgeous golden lab who brings me so much joy! Dogs always come up to me when I'm out walking and I'm told this is due to my calm nature and cats feel relaxed around me, I feel very honoured.
I grew up with all types of animals - cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits etc but have a special fondness for dogs. I'd love one of my own but renting won't allow this sadly :(
I am fit and healthy so can handle dogs of all sizes and LOVE long walks so I'll have no issues taking your pooch out for longer walks if that's what they need.
I used to work in the NHS as a Radiographer but now I work from home as a Functional Health Practitioner so I'm extremely flexible and can be available to sit any time of the year.
You can find me in the Westbourne area near Bournemouth but I'm happy to travel out further if required.
  🫧 I also offer an optional cleaning service where i will hoover &amp; clean all communual rooms with non toxic, plant based cleaning products for an additional charge so that when you return your home will be all sparkly and fresh :)
Please contact me if you would like any references from my regulars.
Thanks for checking out my profile,
Kat&nbsp;


I took early retirement from the Criminal Justice System nearly 10 years ago and I’ve now decided to turn my passion for dogs into something that I can do in my spare time. I am of course fully DBS checked and insured with the nations leading pet insurer Petplan, but more important than anything, I just love dogs! I’ve had dogs literally from the moment I was born and my favourites are big dogs such as Border Collies, German Shepherds, Retrievers and Labradors.

I have experience in training and handling deaf dogs as my previous border collie was deaf and I taught her how we could communicate by me using hand signals and we went on to obtain our bronze and silver good citizen awards. I have also taken my current dog scent training and to Hoopers Agility as she has arthritis. I’m quite happy looking after and medicating old or infirm dogs and we can provide our own doggy pushchair if need be. 

I’m first aid trained, have attended dog massage and alternative therapy workshops, agility classes and have experience in animal healing and reiki.

Another passion of mine is travelling and exploring and I am happy to travel to sits that are in areas of interest to me if they suit us both.

I grew up in the countryside with all kinds of animals.&nbsp;I had my very own donkeys, dogs, birds and small creatures that depended on me.I am a dedicated and proactive animal care specialist with 5+ years of hands-on experience in dog walking, pet sitting, and animal training across Dorset and Hampshire. CPD-certified Dog Trainer with a strong foundation in animal behaviour and welfare. Former hospitality and business manager, bringing leadership, organisation, and customer service expertise. Entrepreneurial and adaptable, with experience launching a unique mobile dog-friendly ice cream venture. Passionate about providing compassionate, reliable care for animals and excellent service to pet owners.I have been working and assisting one of the top dog trainers in Bournemouth. I have recently and successfully trained my own dog.I have very good reviews on my social media from very happy clients.&nbsp;I have recently&nbsp; moved to the purbecks and am looking for new paw members.

I am a reliable and caring individual with a genuine love for animals, supported by my level 3 Animal Mangement diploma and hand in experience working on farms. This has given me strong practical skills in animal care as well as an understanding of different behaviours, needs and routines across a variety of species. I offer flexible pet sitting services tailored to each animal. Dog walks typically last 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the dogs age, breed and energy levels. During my visits I provide feeding, fresh water, playtime and cleaning with plenty of attention to keep pets comfortable and relaxed. I am attentive to individual routines and can adapt my approach for nervous, energetic or older pets, always handling them with patience and care.
A typical visit includes a quick wellbeing check, feeding, exercise or play and ensuring the environment is clean and safe. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well looked after.


Hi, I'm Matt.I have two absolutely mad cocker spaniels and had another cocker spaniel previously, so I'm well used to dogs that need plenty of exercise.I also have fish and a gecko.Over the years we've had plenty of normal family pets, hamsters, guinea pigs and rabbits.I'm very reliable and trustworthy, I have many references available on request.Due to my previous employment I have an enhanced DBS certificate and am also high level security cleared.I'm able come into your home to feed your animals or let them out to go to the toilet.
I am now self employed, but having been employed full time for the past 25 years, I know how hard it can be to work and still manage to look after pets.
I was lucky enough to have for the majority of that time to work shift work and then when I worked a more normal job, my daughter was able to come home and let the dogs out.I like to meet you and your pet before I commit to anything so you and your pet are both happy.Any questions please feel free to ask.&nbsp;


Hi i'm Shiori, a very big animal lover with 2 dogs of my own, so i am very used to daily walks, feeding, and general care. I've looked after both small and large dogs and am comfortable with different personalities and energy levels!

Whilst i don't have professional experience, i am reliable, careful and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so i always make sure they are safe, happy and well looked after. I am also happy to stick to any routines or special instructions!

- I am happy to offer both shorter or longer walks for your dog, for up to an hour per day. 

- I know how different dogs vary in sociability, but you'll know your pet best! so if you let me know where they are most comfortable walking, i will stick to your typical routes!

- As much as i enjoy the company of many dogs, to ensure their safety, i only walk 1 dog at a time 

- I have experience with dogs of many temperaments, but please do let me know of any additional notes i should be aware of (for example, if they will chase after small animals like my dogs do) to limit surprises! 

- (for any far advanced bookings, please message me at least a couple of months before! i am mostly flexible but this helps me be more aware)

(Currently based bournemouth for university, so any enquiries to be based in bournemouth please as unfortunately i won't be able to travel to take care of your pet! - thank you!)

Overview - Hi everyone, my name is Anna, and together with my family, we are true dog lovers. Dogs have always brought so much joy, warmth, and happiness into our home, and that is why we decided to offer a home-based dog boarding service in a safe, loving, and family environment.
When your dog stays with us, they will not just be “boarded” — they will be welcomed as part of our family. We understand how important it is to leave your dog with someone you can trust, so we do everything we can to make each dog feel safe, settled, loved, and comfortable from the moment they arrive.
We offer a calm, caring, and supervised home environment where your dog’s normal routine will be followed as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, play, rest, cuddles, and any individual needs they may have. Every dog is different, so we take the time to get to know their personality, habits, likes, dislikes, and any worries they may have.
Our aim is to give owners complete peace of mind, knowing their dog is being cared for by a responsible, trustworthy, and pet-loving family. We are happy to provide regular updates and photos during your dog’s stay, so you can relax knowing they are safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love and attention.
With us, your dog will be cared for like one of our own.&nbsp;
How Pet Care Fits Into Our Routine
Both my husband and I work from home, which gives us excellent flexibility and allows us to provide continuous supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. Dogs staying with us are not left alone or unattended for extended periods.
Working from home enables us to maintain each dog’s usual routine, including regular feeding, walks, medication where required, playtime, toilet breaks, rest, and plenty of individual attention.&nbsp;
Insurance - I also believe in doing things properly and responsibly. That is why I hold specialist pet insurance designed specifically for home dog boarding services and in line with local authority licensing expectations. This includes public liability cover of up to £10 million, offering protection in the unlikely event of injury or damage involving dogs in my care.
My insurance also includes care, custody and control cover, which means dogs staying with me are protected in the unlikely event of illness, injury, or loss while under my supervision. I hope this gives owners extra reassurance that their dog will be cared for in a safe, responsible, and well-prepared home environment.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Fully Licensed and Approved - I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved dog with someone else, and I want every pet owner to feel confident and reassured when choosing our family. That’s why I am also fully licensed, which means I have been formally approved by BCP Council to provide home dog boarding services.
Having a licence means that our home, care arrangements, safety measures, and the way we look after dogs have been checked to make sure they meet the required standards for home dog boarding. It gives owners extra peace of mind that their dog will be staying in a safe, suitable, and responsible home environment.
For us, being licensed is not just a requirement — it is part of doing things properly and showing pet owners that their dog’s welfare, comfort, and happiness will always come first.&nbsp;
Experience with Animals - As a family, we have many years of practical experience caring for animals, including our own pets, pets belonging to friends and family, and dogs who have stayed with us through home boarding.
We have looked after dogs of different ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities, from young energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise, play, and stimulation, to older dogs who need a slower pace, gentle handling, comfort, and extra patience.
We also have experience caring for dogs with health needs, mobility difficulties, separation anxiety, nervousness, and behavioural challenges. We understand that every dog is different, so we always take time to learn their routine, temperament, body language, and individual needs.
Our experience includes high-energy breeds such as Dobermans and Pomskies, as well as smaller dogs with big personalities, including feisty Chihuahuas and playful Dachshunds.&nbsp;
This experience has helped us become confident, patient, and attentive carers who understand the importance of routine, consistency, supervision, and responding to each animal as an individual.&nbsp;
Training - To further enhance my knowledge and ensure high standards of care in a pet boarding setting, I have completed the following training:&nbsp;

Pet Sitting Training &nbsp;
Canine Behaviour Training &nbsp;
Grooming Training &nbsp;
Pet First Aid &amp; CPR &nbsp;
Understanding Canine Anxiety Diploma - In Progress

Additionally, I am a nurse by background and currently work as an NHS professional. The training I have completed through this role has given me valuable knowledge and skills that can also be directly applied to providing safe, responsible, and attentive animal care.&nbsp;

Fire Safety Training &nbsp;
Food Safety &amp; Hygiene Training &nbsp;
Infection Control&nbsp;
Health and Safety&nbsp;
As an NHS professional, I hold a full Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, which is a background check used to confirm whether someone has a criminal record or is barred from working with vulnerable people. I hope this gives pet owners extra reassurance that I am a trustworthy and responsible person.&nbsp;

Location - We are ideally located next to Turbary Common, one of Bournemouth’s important nature reserves and the largest area of heathland in north Bournemouth. It offers a lovely natural setting with heathland, wooded areas, scrub, and peaceful walking routes, giving dogs plenty of interesting sights and smells to enjoy.&nbsp;
Being so close to this beautiful green space means we can offer varied daily walks with opportunities for gentle exercise, sniffing, exploring, and mental stimulation. We are always mindful that Turbary Common is a protected nature reserve, so walks are planned responsibly and in line with local guidance, including lead requirements when needed.
Because we have flexible working routines and someone is always at home, we can offer up to three walks per day where appropriate. This can be especially helpful for younger dogs, energetic breeds, or dogs who benefit from extra stimulation and structure.
All walks are tailored to each dog’s age, energy level, ability, routine, and owner preferences, so every dog gets the right balance of exercise, enrichment, and rest.&nbsp;
Garden - We also have a fully secured, spacious garden where dogs can enjoy safe outdoor time throughout the day. It is a lovely space for supervised play, stretching their legs, exploring, and of course doing plenty of important sniffing! &nbsp;
Equipment / Crate - If your pet is crate-trained or enjoys having their own enclosed resting space, we can provide a suitable crate for small to medium-sized dogs, so there is no need to bring your own. Crate size: 70 cm (H) × 80.5 cm (W) × 59 cm (D). In addition, for maximum safety and peace of mind, we use two secure safety gates positioned within the home. These are placed in doorways to help manage movement around the house and significantly reduce any risk of accidental escape. This allows us to maintain a controlled, safe environment while still giving your pet plenty of space to relax and move comfortably.&nbsp;
Children - We have two considerate children aged 10 and 14. They are calm, respectful, and used to being around animals. Your pet will receive plenty of positive attention; however, we fully understand that not all pets enjoy cuddles or constant interaction. If your pet prefers their own space, this will always be respected.&nbsp;
Smoke-Free Home  - Our home is completely smoke-free, providing a clean, fresh, and healthy environment. Your pet will return home relaxed and comfortable — no lingering smells, just happy memories.&nbsp;
Rules and Routine  - We respect and follow your pet’s established routines and house rules. Whether that means no furniture access or full “four-legged royalty” privileges, we’ll stick to what works best for your pet. From structured days to relaxed evenings with gentle company (and the occasional Netflix cuddle), we’ll ensure your pet’s stay feels familiar, safe, and enjoyable.
Capacity- I take a small number of dogs at any one time — but that doesn’t mean it’s always afull house. Every booking is carefully considered based on:&nbsp;

Each dog’s personality and needs &nbsp;
Their size and temperament &nbsp;
How well they’ll mix with others &nbsp;

Because of this, I sometimes have fewer than 3 dogs, and in some cases, I may be able to offer solo boarding for your dog — depending on availability.&nbsp;
Professional Background - I am a registered Mental Health Nurse by background with extensive experience working within the NHS, delivering safe, compassionate, and person-centred care in complex and dynamic environments.&nbsp;
Through my clinical role, I have developed highly transferable skills that are directly applicable to dog boarding, including:&nbsp;

Dynamic risk assessment and risk management&nbsp;
Continuous observation and early identification of changes in condition or behaviour&nbsp;
Safeguarding and duty of care responsibilities&nbsp;
Maintaining high standards of hygiene, infection prevention, and environmental safety&nbsp;
Accurate documentation and record keeping&nbsp;
Responding promptly and appropriately to emerging risks or concerns&nbsp;

These competencies enable me to provide a consistently safe, controlled, and well-managed environment for all dogs in my care.&nbsp;
Clinical Skills Applied to Animal Care  - My professional experience has strengthened my ability to:&nbsp;

Recognise early signs of distress, illness, or behavioural change&nbsp;
Respond quickly and appropriately to maintain safety and welfare&nbsp;
Implement structured, calm, and predictable care routines&nbsp;
Provide reassurance and reduce anxiety in unfamiliar environments&nbsp;

This is particularly relevant in a home boarding setting, where close monitoring and early intervention are essential to maintaining animal welfare.&nbsp;
Medication Competency - I am trained and experienced in the safe administration of medication, including:&nbsp;

Accurate dosing&nbsp;
Safe handling procedures&nbsp;
Monitoring for side effects&nbsp;
Maintaining clear and auditable records&nbsp;

While this experience is based in human healthcare, the principles are directly transferable. This enables me to safely support dogs requiring routine oral medication, strictly in accordance with veterinary guidance and owner instructions.&nbsp;
