About: I've had pets all my life many dogs and cats I breed fish I've had hedgehogs birds I've introduced wildlife to my home many times currently have a growing frog population. I've nesting birds returning year after year in multiple sheds. The house is surrounded by trees and is away from any main roads it sits in it's own with only farmland around and a trunk road that's only used by tractors mainly there's just one other house at the end of the road. The location is quiet peaceful and relaxing for anybody or any pet. It's also an on going project if mine. I also have one collie I've had since he was a pup he's my best mate and we share the days together. I've trained him myself also. He's a people lover of that there is no doubt and everyone falls in love with him immediately. Your pet will come to a stress free zone and get a ton of attention and made to feel special there's lots of room to explore for the quiet pets who need space there's lots of that too. Pets need calm and theres no dramas here it's safe and your dog can be itself allday long happy in its own world I'm restoring my house I'm currently in so I'm here 24/7 most weeks working on a room at a time I have two houses adjoined to each other which allows for alot of flexibility also I have multiple sheds that I'm transitioning which can be used for many purposes they are well built and directly next to the house. If I needed to I can convert them to shelters very quickly. The house is surrounded with strong border fences all around there's only one road in . And it's fields for as far as you can see. It's as safe as it gets .

About: Hi, my name is Paula. I have always loved dogs. As a little kid I used to be around them all the time, I remember I always had the time of my life playing with them. Now, they are my best friends and one big part of my life. If you are looking for a trusting and reliable person who loves spending time with dogs then I'm the right person for the job! :) I'm currently unemployed, and trying to make a bit of money to pay rent. I have plenty of time to be able to be with your pets. It will be my pleasure I will always follow specific instructions (if there are any), I'm a really responsible person - as I understand that your pets are really important for you, I will take care of them as if they were my own.
About: Growing up on a farm has helped me gain plenty of experience with animals. I have always had a passion and a love for them. They are the most amazing, gentle creatures and also the best company. I currently own a little west highland terrier so my day to day consists of early walks through the woods or scenic walks on the beach and plenty of cuddles when it’s time to wind down in the evening. We take a ball on our walk to play and plenty of treats when we get home. I live in a house which has a big fenced garden and also a good sized living area/kitchen where your baby can relax and cuddle up. I have a little fur baby myself which will keep yours company. She is super friendly and enjoys the company herself.
About: I have been a dog walker+ pet sitter for 10 years now, and it is without a doubt my favorite job I've ever had! I consider myself very lucky to be doing something that puts a smile on my face every day. I love forming a bond and connection with your pets, and getting outside with dogs and just having the most fun we can have :) I walk rain or shine. I've walked breeds as small as a toy poodle, to as big as a Saint Bernard, and I love them all! I also have experience working with reactive dogs, senior, and disabled dogs Dog walking and pet sitting care is my full time job, so this is my daily routine, Monday to Friday, and weekends too :) :) I take great care in making sure each and every dog's needs and comforts are met in my home. I have a secure garden, and I like to make the dog feel as close to be at home as possible
About: I had two dogs in the family growing up and more recently trusted with a friend's cat when they're away, since then I've been providing services on Rover since Autumn 2023, looking after a variety of dogs in all shapes and sizes - walking, feeding, bathing, cleaning up, nothing is off the table, I'm positive you'll find a trusted pet carer in me. I work full time, but have a couple of days in the week where I work from home, that being said most of my availability will fall on Friday evenings or the weekend unless discussed in advance. An average service when pet sitting in your home would include: full bowl 'fresh' water and a full bowl of pet food on arrival, taking your pet out for their business frequently as desired (varying on individual pet), a shower if required, kitty litter / dog dropping clean if/when required. I'm intuitive and willing to take on specific instructions catered to your pet, I have experience providing oral medication to anxious and allergic dogs on separate occasions.
About: Hello, My name is Mary & I adore animals. I have a little Bichon who’s 14. I come from a farming background so very in touch with nature and animals.

(My rates are for 24 hours ) My hours are 9am -6 pm, outside of those hours please book an extra night or daycare.. Thank you. IMPORTANT-PLEASE NOTE: ALL DOGS MUST BE NEUTERED/SPAYED, BE MICROCHIPPED AND HAVE UP TO DATE VACCINATIONS. I ACCEPT PUPPIES BUT THEY MUST BE CRATE TRAINED. 🐶🐶
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a little girl, and some of my fondest memories are from going on walks with my dogs. I currently can’t have my own pets so I’d love to spend time with other people’s fur babies! I currently work hybrid so I’m flexible to pop in and out as your pet pals need, able to do early mornings or late nights too I understand well how pets have their own personalities and needs, so I’m incredibly willing to be briefed by any pet owners as to their pets needs and nerves so as to provide the most comfortable experience possible

Shannon O.
“Shannon is great at what she does. She’s super friendly and accommodating and also will go the extra mile for your pets! She is reliable and flexible to your needs. We have 2 cats and 1 dog (also a wee goldfish ;) ) that she took care of for us - dog walk, fed them, played with them and kept them company while we were away and we were pleased with her. She sent us pictures daily to keep us updated which I loved. I would recommend Shannon to anyone :)”
Emily C.
“I cannot say enough kind words about Emily. She has been SUCH an incredible help to us with our pup Dublin. Dublin is a stubborn French Bulldog that needs some special attention and Emily goes above and beyond to commodate his needs. We were lucky enough to find Emily over a year ago and since then we have felt at ease leaving our Dublin overnight. Having Emily babysit your dog is a true gift you give your fur baby. She’s kindest soul, she’s the best!”
