More doggos please!
Hi, thanks for checking out my profile. I’m a calm, patient and kind-hearted animal lover with 5 years of dog sitting and walking experience. Over the years I’ve looked after quite the line-up of furry characters - including pets with strict diets and medication schedules, nervous and reactive dogs, dogs who need constant attention, pets who can only be handled in certain ways, a very naughty Newfoundland puppy, and even a litter of Frenchies. I’ve genuinely enjoyed every challenge so far. Looking after animals - especially dogs - never feels like a chore to me, and I’m always grateful to spend time with them whilst I can’t have a dog of my own. Most of the time my girlfriend Natasha and I dog sit/board together. Here’s a link to her profile: https://www.rover.com/sit/natasp37432 We understand some pets feel more comfortable with a certain gender, so if that’s the case please feel free to request one of us specifically. We live in a spacious top-floor flat on Sefton Park Road, less than a minute from St Andrews Park, where we love having dogs to stay. There are always plenty of walks, games, treats and cuddles. We also have a car and often take dogs out on little adventures for big runarounds in nature. As we both work remotely with flexible-ish schedules, we’re usually able to provide plenty of attention, regular walks, and company throughout the day. We also know how reassuring updates can be when you’re away from your pet, so we’re always happy to send photos and check-ins. We’ve already met lots of lovely dog owners in the local area and are looking forward to building more long-term relationships over the coming months. If you think one or both of us might be a good fit, or just want to know more about us and our setup, feel free to reach out with any questions. Looking forward to hearing from you!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Owain was so great with Misty - really friendly, experienced, and it looked like Misty had a great time! She was in really good hands with Owain and we have already booked with him again.
Owain took our very active viszla for a long walk without problem - she was ecstatic to see him again so it clearly went well!
Owains been great with our dogs, they love him! Always communicative and will be keeping the dog walking going even though we can walk again after our accident 😅
Another great housesit from Owain for our dog and cat. Both well looked after and house left clean and tidy. Highly recommend!
We got in touch with Owain for dog walking and occasional pet sitting. He’s been absolutely fantastic and our cat and dog always seem well looked after when he’s been with them. He’s particularly great with our dog who is quite nervous on walks, and takes things at her pace. He provides regular updates including photos and videos and leaves our house clean and tidy. We just hope he doesn’t get too popular so we can book him in for more sits!
Owain was really awesome with my tricky dogs and is great at listening to how you need things done for your dog. Will be using more! ?

Schedule
I work remotely but my hours are pretty flexible. I can provide plenty of walks in St. Andrew park which is less than a minute away, as well as a couple of local drop-ins.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I'm calm, affectionate, attentive and happy to play/be a bit silly. I love being outside so i'm more than happy to take energetic dogs for plenty of walks. I'm very patient; i've looked after some challenging pets past and i also have experience of working with vulnerable adults.
A typical day
I live with my my girlfriend in a spacious top-floor flat right next to St Andrews park. We we dont’ have a garden of our own - instead we take dogs for regular walks/toilet breaks in St Andrews park around the corner. We also have a car for the occasional adventure/big runarounds in nature. We love having dogs cuddle up next to us whilst we’re working or relaxing. We play games like of tug of war and fetch but also have enrichment games for dogs who might need stimulation whilst we’re busy. There’ll also be plenty of treats!
