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.

Used a platform for pet care before?
Book me directly next time and the platform fee disappears — same care, same person, lower cost.
Meet before you book
A proper meet-and-greet first, so you know exactly who's staying, and I know your pets, before any dates are confirmed.
One person, start to finish
No rotating staff, the same guy that visited last time is the same one who shows up next time. Nose verified.

Meet your sitter

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.
