Another lovely weekend with my favourite long-legged rabbit-dog, aka Willow. The bounciest girl in Dorset. There’s nothing I love more than watching her get the zoomies 🐶 🐾💨

This girl is SO smart. I adore watching her work out what I’m asking her to do, or which toy to get.

She’s one of the most independent dogs I sit for. I’m so used to Velcro dogs but she loves sunbathing solo, or chilling in bed in another room. She will always pop back to check where I am and we hang out together for sure, but after a while she trots off again, on very important business no doubt… 🥰 🐾 🏡

Contrary to popular opinion I don’t mind dog t***s. They can stink, sure, but they’re almost always funny. Life is too short not to laugh at t***s! 🐕💨

This girl just did a comically loud and very human sounding toot while watching passersby, then she had the audacity to look at me as though I had done the crime?! 😂 🐾

(Can’t pretend I’ve never blamed one of my t***s on a dog… but the other way round is just hilarious)

Wild Saturday night eh? I love my job 🥰 😂

The loveliest and hottest week with these two! ☀️ 🥵

During my stay we had a mighty summer thunderstorm! With hours of lightning and hail the size of golf balls… Bonnie was a little apprehensive to start but after some comforting and cuddles they both slept right through! ⚡️

Pierre (frenchie) is 13 🥰 and just wants love! And Bonnie (Romanian street dog) saw me as her pack mate so we had lots of great chats and play time, cuddles too. They’re adorable. Thoroughly enjoyed their company. 10/10 would sit again 🏡

We are ever so lucky to share this planet with dogs 🐾

Hullo friends! 🐾

Dorset council are giving us a chance to have our say about the restrictions dogs currently face in public spaces.

After seeing the upsetting amount of rubbish left on beaches last weekend by humans I can’t help thinking the restrictions are set for the wrong species 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyway, it’s my view that *most* spaces should be open to dogs all year round, with short lead rules enforced in sports/recreation spaces. Sometimes it’s a shadier or quicker route for dog walkers to go that way and if the dog is controlled on a short lead, what’s the issue?

And beaches, during the May 1 - September 30 block that they currently have restricted dogs entirely, they could allow dogs in the early mornings before 9am and then again in the evening after 7pm. This gives the beach goers with/without kids a chance to have no dogs running up to them. But it also allows the dogs to have their turn to run and swim if they want to. It’s a win win. Dogs shouldn’t be out in the hotter parts of the day anyway so this rule would be beneficial for all.

I’m intrigued if you think differently 🤔

Happy hot bank holiday weekend all! ☀️

Over the next week walk your pooches early in the AM or later in the evening. And only if it’s cool enough to do so. It’s not worth the poor loves getting heat stroke! In the last two days I’ve already seen people outside cafes with their dogs panting like crazy… 😩

They might be begging to go out but this is why you train your dogs that you’re their alpha, so you can say ‘no’ when you know best ☀️

If you have a shady walk nearby in the forest then great! 🌳

A new introduction as I’ve added new services to my house sitting 🏡 🐾

Hello everyone, I’m Hannah. I’ve been a house sitter for 22 years, I used to care for people’s homes and animals as a side job, but now I do this full time 🙂

I’ve been trying to work out ways to make doing this full-time more sustainable, as I adore what I do with my whole being. It occurred to me, having been a landscape gardener, home organiser and a cleaner in my past, why not offer those services while I’m at a sit!

✅ I was a landscape gardener when I lived in Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦 and I adored it! Generations of my family have had green thumbs so I had been a passionate gardener in my own space, but then I learned some tricks of the trade and would love to help my clients while I’m at their house, if they need any work done.


✅ My first job was a cleaner at a 5 star hotel. I had that job for six years and it made me keenly aware of dirt the eye cannot see! A few years into that job I started doing private cleaning of people’s homes and that’s when I discovered my passion for ✨ organisation ✨

✅ I always had a very organised bedroom as a kid. I would say at least a couple times a week ‘I’m just going to organise my room’ - and my mum would say ‘how can you organise it any more than it already is?!’ I remember organising a clients shelves when dusting once and she said ‘oh my gosh, can you do my whole living room?!’ And from there, I started reorganising people’s spaces/pantries/fridges, anywhere really! I’ve done a few friend’s homes too.

All of these services will be kept reasonably priced as I start out, firstly because I’ll need to use my clients tools and products initially, I’ll just do the labour. Secondly, while I build up some positive feedback. Please message me to discuss!

No one has to take me up on any extra services of course, I just figured this might be something someone would like, and it will help me be able to consider this as an ongoing career.

I have extra time on my hands and figured I could be of some help while I’m in your home 🏡

Note: I do always leave a home as clean as I found it, often better 🙂 ✨

(Sweet Hugo for attention, back when summer had started… or so we thought!)

Meggy moo the tiniest coo 🐄 🐾

I excitedly text Meg’s owner on this sit because I realised it was exactly a year ago that Meg became my first sit after moving back to the UK from Canada.

I correlate Meg to the start of feeling settled. My family had moved from Wiltshire to Dorset while I’d lived abroad so everything was brand new, and of course I missed my friends in Canada.

After day one of being with Meg I felt content. She’s truly a very special Jack Russell. She’s got this kind boss-lady energy about her, a ‘best-mate that you really respect the opinion of’ character. She doesn’t like lots of fuss, but she wants to be near you and check you’re okay. She communicates so clearly through glances and head movements and her bouncy joy is delightful, especially as she’s 13 years old!

Thank you girlie, for grounding me back in the UK, for 13 sits in the last year and for your loyal companionship 🏡 🐾 🐶

Just a lovely forest walk with Reggie and Roxy today. Had a 2 minute sit down on a tree stump to give Roxy time to stare up at the trees 🌳 🐦

They couldn’t be more opposite, Reggie by my side and Roxy, well… 😂 she’s busy watching squirrels! Gotta leave her to it! 🐾 🐿️
