Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving, trustworthy and energetic companion&walker
I have been walking my neighbours and family friends dogs for over 8 years now, since I was younger! My love for dogs has been present since I was a little girl - without fail I would befriend a dog on holidays, which always resulted in tears and determination to stay put when my parents said we had to go home! Since then, I have walked many dogs from all around my neighbourhood, abroad (Europe & the USA), dog sat and lots of overnight stays! (one time, it was hilarious because the dog, Buddy, would not sleep anywhere but underneath the covers with me, like a human!). I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities & would love for you to consider me as a trustworthy and fun companion for your much loved pet :) Since joining Rover, I have gained lots of experience in long-term overnight stays, including house sitting, boarding and caring for multiple dogs at once, including puppies and dogs needing specific care (anxious dogs/dogs with trust issues and lots of rescues). Please feel free to ring me if you have any other queries or just want a quick chat! Due to my experience with all types of dogs and all sorts of personalities I can assure you your pup is safe with me☺️

Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fenced garden that backs onto a field which is a popular spot where people walk their dogs in my neighbourhood as it leads into the woods. My garden has lots of space for playing and running around.
Ratings and reviews
Solene looked after our dog Pickle at our flat while we were out on a Saturday afternoon. She communicated promptly and clearly, and the whole sitting went very smoothly. Pickle was certainly happy, and nice and tired at the end of the day!
Solene looked after our dog Dolly for the whole day whilst we went to a family wedding. Solene sent us a video and pics of Dolly when they went for a walk. Dolly has never been left with a sitter before but we were very happy with Solene and would definitely ask for her help again.
I used Solene for a meet and greet plus a dogvwalk . Would definetly reccomend her she was lovely with my girl who can be very nervous of new people but she was'nt at all worried by Solene so i would have no reservations about leaving mable in her care .
We are so happy we booked Solene, our nervous spaniel had the most fantastic 2 days with her - lots of photos and updates. I would highly recommend Solene
Solene house and dog sat for us for a week recently. This was our first time using Rover and it was a great experience. Solene was a fantastic communicator and took excellent care of our home and dogs. She sent lots of updates and I had no concerns at all. We are looking forward to Solene coming back soon.
I have no hesitation in recommended Solene. Her communication from the start was friendly and professional. The trust that she built with my timid rescue dog, Tilly, in such a short time was amazing. Solene has such a natural affinity with animals and I had no worries about leaving Tilly in her care. I was kept updated with photos and videos which I loved. Solene also proved to be a dab hand at guinea pig handling lol. We came home to a happy dog, tidy house and even folded laundry! Couldn't have asked for more.
