About: I grew up with dogs and have had dogs almost my entire life. For the past 2 and a halve years I have been fostering dogs for a rescue, but I had to stop because I was required to go back into the office for work. I work from home on Friday and Monday though, so can dog-sit for long weekends I will provide multiple walks a day and make sure your dog(s) get enough play/attention. I work from home on Friday and Monday and the weekends are free. Our day would consists of multiple walks, time to play and cuddles.😁 I have been an experienced foster for rescue dogs, but had to stop because of work requiring me to go back into the office 3 days a week. Your dog will be well taken care of and they will get loads of attention. I will send updates every day.

“Maria is a very lovely person. Very polite and passionate since our first meet and greet. It was clear that she really loves animals and looking after them. Bruno had his first dogsitting with her today, Bruno seemed to be very happy when we got home and looked very comfortable around Maria. She's very accommodating and follows the guides/notes that are shared to her. Thank you again for looking after our Bruno 😊”

About: I live in Ripley and work in Matlock Bath so flexible across locations between this radius. I recently joined Rover after previously providing pet care through Cat in a Flat. **Not available during the day on weekends - Primarily available for early morning/evening visits - but can factor in more dependent on my work schedule** I grew up with Maine Coon cats looking after them from their kitten stages right through to their senior years. I understand grooming needs for furry friends, and know that every cat has a unique personality and I always take the time to get to know them in a way that they can feel comfortable and safe in their own environment. I also have experience walking and caring for dogs. I am confident handling smaller breeds and am familiar with larger dogs through my partner's lurcher. Whether your dog enjoys an energetic walk, gentle stroll, or just some companionship, I tailor my care to suit all of their needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I'm always happy to share regular updates and photos while you're away for complete peace of mind. I look forward to meeting your furry family members! I work full time including weekends, but can factor in early morning/evening visits if necessary. I usually have two mid-week days off scheduled around my work, so ideal if you are away during the week. My partner is also flexible to assist with any dates that I am personally unable to attend. When caring for pets in their own home, I always aim to keep their routine as consistent as possible to help them feel comfortable and relaxed whilst the owners are away. Before taking on any bookings, I like to learn as much as possible about the pet's individual needs so that I can provide the best care possible. I keep lists of where important items are kept, and times for feeding schedules etc. While I am mainly focused on walks and drop in services for your pets, I can look at offering care in my own home if the dates match with my schedule.

“We left our 6 month old fox red lab with clare why we attended a hospital appointment with our daughter. Having met clare beforehand we knew Rusty would be in good hands . On the day clare arrived early and we explained a few things before heading off . We had lots of updates whilst we were out , pictures and videos and to be honest he seemed happier than he is with us ... lol . And when we got back the house was clean and tidy ..... amazing thanks clare 👍. Clare certainly has a lot of experience and he warmed to her straight away. I would have no doubt about leaving Rusty with her again and can fully recommend her services. Thanks again clare . :-)”

“Cassie was so brilliant with my dog. He was a bit anxious at first and she gave him lots of belly rubs and helped him to settle. She sent pictures and updates throughout the evening so I knew he was well looked after and could enjoy the evening without worrying. I had needed to amend timings with Cassie and she was so accommodating and flexible. I will definitely book Cassie again on the future and would highly recommend. :)”

“I can’t thank Chloe enough for looking after Phoebe, Bean and Ralphie. We have had a few days in york and she has been fab! I can see how much they have been loved and looked after,Bean can be quite stressed out by change, she has obviously had a great time with Chloe not an ounce of stress in her. They have obviously loved Chloe. I would highly recommend her to look after your pets, and I will be definately asking her to look after my fur babies again, communication was great and so were the pictures, thank you . Chloe you are amazing! Lorraine and Charles”

About: Hi! 👋 A little bit about me…I’ve grown up with animals in my life and have had pets since age of 5. Growing up on a farm, I’ve always naturally had an affinity for animals. I have experience looking after kittens, puppies, cats as well as dogs. I have been trusted to dog sit for friends and family for most of my adult life, but have been doing so professionally for the last few years. If you have any questions at all - feel free to message me. I currently work from home so have now got increased capacity to make weekly trips to look after other peoples pets. Hence I am opening my availability up to provide care for more pets. Caring for each pet is different and I am more than happy to meet requirements of each pet’s specific needs and routine alongside providing a watchful eye and fulfilling their personal interactive needs such as cuddles/petting, treats, and continuing their training as requested.

“Keisha looked after our dog Snow for 3 nights when we went away. We were so pleased with the updates we received and the time and effort Keisha spent to get to know Snow on a visit prior to us going away. Keisha left our house spotless and ensured Snow had everything she needed at all times. We would highly recommend Keisha and will definitely be using her for future dog sits. Keisha is very trust worthy and has a lot of experience which shows immediately.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was very young, and I've always been the one caring for them. I have hands-on experience with Labrador Retrievers, American Bulldogs, and French Bulldogs. I’m quite skilled at exercising them through long walks or playing with them at home. They do not need to be crate trained, as I have worked with both options. I can assist with command training if needed, or, if they are young, I can maintain consistency in their training. I can also pick them up and drop them off in my car. I have a dog collar seatbelt for safety. Happy to discuss any flexibility needed or adjust the pet car to suit your requirements. I work from home on Fridays and Mondays, and I am very likely to work from home on weekends. This allows me to pet-sit full-time from Friday to Monday. I have a very flexible job, so I could probably organise extra weekdays if needed, given some notice. I have fostered dogs and cats before while they waited to be re-homed. I also drive, so I am quite flexible regarding location and can visit the pet’s owner's home. I will follow their routines and care needs depending on the pet. I live in a two-bedroom house with a good kitchen and living room. I go for walks quite often, so exercise wouldn’t be a problem, and I also have a fenced backyard of around 10m x 5m. If I'm caring for the pet at the owner’s house, I will adhere to their rules and continue with their daily routine. I also drive, so I am quite flexible with locations, whether going to the pet owner's home or taking them to bigger parks. I would send the owners daily updates in the form of videos and photos, depending on their preferences. I am quite flexible and able to adapt to different routines.

“We hired Chyna last minute to watch over our dog Max and cat Jess in our home for 2 weeks whilst we went on holiday. Chyna was absolutely amazing, I hate leaving our furballs but she was so kind and welcoming it made it so much easier. We got daily updates and photos from Chyna which we were so thankful for, she walked Max even in the worst of storms and our animals loved her ❤️ She even went the extra mile and looked after our fish and watered our plants. When we got home the house was spotless, you would never even know that she was there. Thank you SO much Chyna, 100% recommend and we will always be using her in the future.”

“Gabriela looked after our spaniel Murphy. Murphy does not get on well in kennels and likes his own environment and routine. So we decided to take a leap of faith and seek external help to enable us to have a much needed weekend away. We have in the past had family members care for him, but that is not always convenient for them We were nervous about leaving him with a home sitter But as soon as we met Gabriela our nerves were settled she is a delightful and very kind person and she took wonderful care of our much loved pet. She got on with his quirky ways and embraced his eccentricity. She followed his routine to a tee and we came home to a very happy boy. I highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed We will certainly be asking her to look after him again Thank you so much Gabriela hope to see you soon”

“We've used Jessica a few times, she has never disappointed and on this occasion came to sit my puppy Willow on a last minute request. She sends regular photo updates and is great at letting Willow lead (ie. If she wants interaction or not as she is still young & shy with new people).”

“Maisie was lovely with Lulu and took care of her very nicely, especially as it was really hot. Maisie took Lulu for an early morning walk to ensure she gets her exercise and was very kind! Would definitely recommend.”
