Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritise safety, routine, and clear communication at all times. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I follow their instructions closely, maintain normal routines, and ensure the environment is secure and calm. For walks, I use appropriate leads and harnesses, assess surroundings carefully, and adjust walks to each dog’s temperament, whether solo or group. I monitor behaviour, energy levels, and wellbeing throughout. I keep homes tidy and respected, provide regular updates, and always aim to create a stress-free, trustworthy experience for both pets and owners.

Dog Walking • lut 15, 2026

Gavin took our dog, Troy for a walk and again for a short visit as it was a long day for him. Troy enjoyed his walk with Gavin and it was good to know that he was taken care of. Gavin took photos and a map of their walk as well as writing information which we found helpful.

Schedule

I have a flexible schedule with plenty of spare time. I actively train and care for my own large dog, so I’m available for regular walks and in-home sitting.

Before care begins, I like to know a pet’s temperament, walking style, preferred routes, treat preferences, and whether they show aggression toward other dogs or need solo walks.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
