Pet & house sitting, direct.
I look after homes and pets across Dorset and Hampshire. I'm the only sitter where the costs decrease the longer you go away, so come join my network!
10/10, would get walked again.
Hi, I'm Ross. I've spent the past year living as a full-time house sitter across Dorset, so this isn't a side gig — it's what I do. I'm also a digital nomad — I write software, build websites (this one included), and write outdoor adventures for families. People are often curious about the lifestyle, so I've put together a page on it. Every booking genuinely helps me build a better future for my son, and I'm grateful for that.
Sometimes my son Ethan tags along too — a few of the reviews below mention him.
A few faces from past sits.
A few words from past homeowners.
“A very relaxed sitter and our animals were very well looked after. Reliable and easy to communicate with. A great sit.”
“Chilled, takes things in his stride. The dogs clearly enjoyed having him to stay.”
“We returned to find a tidy house and a happy hound. Always quick to respond to messages.”
“Turned up on time, took perfect care of the house and animals, kept me informed throughout. He even trained my young dog with lasting results!”
“Very organised and efficient. The house was spotless and the dogs seemed very happy when we got home.”
“Third time he's looked after our dog for us — highly recommend, always our first call when we're going away.”
