“Elizabeth was wonderful with Bear. She was so easy to communicate with and kept me updated, which meant a lot. Knowing he was being cared for so well made the whole experience stress-free. I’d definitely recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

About: Hi there! My name is Vanessa and I have been looking after dogs for over 25 years. I have owned 7 dogs in my life and had my own dog boarding business that offered a home to home setting for dogs for 10 years whilst living abroad in France. Now being back in the UK, I want to continue offering my services for any dog owner that’s in need. I have always believed that a dog should be cared for equally to the rest of the family and therefore should be treated exactly that way. Dogs are what I know best and love the most so I’m very happy to take care of them. I am also a passionate walker and having a companion is always a great pleasure. I do not work so I am able to offer full time care and attention to your pets. I have the time to care for dogs who are needing specific attention or have specific needs. I have an enclosed garden so I can always let them out as frequently as needed. I have lots of fields and forests nearby so I can offer lovely walks when needed. This is my full time job so I am able to ensure your dog gets the best care. I offer a home to home feeling for your dog. I believe it is important that your dog feels relaxed and at home when they come to stay. Every dog has his/her own needs so in order to make sure they feel settled, I am happy to go through anything they might need to feel more secure.

“Amazing! So quick to respond & was such a dream with my Lara girl. So friendly and kind! Cannot recommend enough! Will definitely be booking again thank you!”

“Fantastic service from Georgia-Mary who looked after my 4 month old puppy for three hours. This is the first time I've used Rover. Georgia-Mary was quick to reply to messages and lovely in person. I had no worries leaving Georgia-Mary with my puppy, who took to her straight away and was super happy and relaxed when I returned. I'd definitely recommend Georgia-Mary and will be booking her again 😊”

About: I offer a safe, reliable pet transport and care service using my own secure car. Because I work from home most of the time, I am perfect for busy owners who need help getting their pets to late vet appointments, grooming sessions, or evening feeding visits. I treat every animal with total patience and care. My schedule is highly flexible during the week, which is exactly when many pet owners are busy or at work. I can easily accommodate late-day pet transport, emergency vet runs, grooming drop-offs, or evening home visits. Because my routine is consistent, you can rely on me for punctual, dependable care when you need it most. Safety is my absolute priority when transporting and caring for your pets. When using my pet taxi service, your animal will be securely fastened using specialised pet seatbelts, harnesses, or secure travel crates to ensure a smooth and safe journey. If I am visiting your home, I strictly follow your specific routines, double-check that all gates and doors are locked, and maintain a calm, stress-free environment. I will also send you quick text and photo updates after every trip or visit so you always have total peace of mind.

“Arran and Iona will be happy to see Khaley again - 2 very happy and relaxed mogs, more pictures than we can shake a stick at, and thanks so much for the other little touches! Khaley’s excellent!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have plenty of experience with working breeds, especially Collies, Labradors, and Spaniels. I regularly dog sit and walk for friends and family, so I’m very used to energetic pups, muddy paws, and plenty of ball throwing! I’m reliable, caring, and always make sure every dog gets the exercise, attention, and affection they need while in my care. I work full time during the week, but I have plenty of availability in the evenings for walks and visits — and I enjoy getting out for a good evening walk myself! I’m also available at weekends for longer walks, drop-in visits, and additional care when needed. I’m happy to offer weekend boarding for dogs once a good rapport and level of trust has been built between your dog and me, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and settled in my care. I always aim to make pets feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible, whether I’m caring for them in their own home or welcoming them into mine. I understand how important routine is for animals, so I take the time to follow their usual schedule, including walks, feeding, playtime, and quiet time. When caring for pets in their home, I make sure they feel safe and settled in a familiar environment while giving them plenty of attention and companionship. In my own home, I provide a calm, caring space where pets can feel part of the family, with lots of affection, exercise, and supervision to help them feel happy and secure.

“Could not ask for a better cat sitter. Emily was amazing throughout, from our first visit to the last, she gave regular descriptive updates with photos, not just feeding and ditching but staying sometimes beyond allotted times to play and make sure our cats were well looked after. She had to deal with our ragdoll being sick often and I am grateful that not only did she do this without complaint but we came back to two very happy, soft (thanks for brushing so often) cats and a very tidy flat with no sign of the sick I can’t thank you enough for that!! Will 100% book again, couldn’t recommend higher thank you 🙏”

She goes over and above what is expected & I know I am coming back to a house that’s in order & happy cats when we use her 😊 communication is really efficient as well. Would highly recommend! We will be using again next time we go away without a doubt.”

About: I have a 3 year old cavapoo myself. I have looked after dogs for over 10 years for friends and family. We have had dogs in our lives since I can remember.. I love dogs and will always do my best to make them feel settled in my home and treat them with love and care. We are a family of 5 who all adore animals. I will send pictures just so you know your dog is being cared for and take on regular walks. I do work full time but I am available after 1530 on weekdays and weekends I am available all day. So I am happy to do weekdays after my job or weekends I have a garden that is fenced and a cavapoo dog to keep your dog company. We have 3 children who are very good with dogs and are happy to play with them and keep them entertained.

“Charlotte was very helpful and helped us out of a potentially difficult situation last minute. We received regular updates and we returned home to a happy car.”

About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life ranging from terriers to huskys to border collies. I've raised and trained many puppys, kittnens, rescue dogs, rescue cats and working dogs. I also have experience with many other animals. I will always care for your pets like my own and provide them with anything they want or need. Im currently working part time (2 days a week) so i have plenty of time to look after your pet and give them all the attention and care they need. I will always keep an eye on your pets to ensure they are safe, healthy, and happy at all times. Nothing is more important then insuring they are being looked after at all times.

About: Hello there, I’m Anne and based in Wiltshire (a little town called Ludgershall). I have been petsitting from the age of 15, at the time it used to be one of these jobs you would do to get a little money as a student. However, now it has indeed become more of a serious job and I’m actually glad it has ! This is why I’m currently working on my DWSA Certificate w/ the British College of Canine Studies which would include first aid training. I grew up in South America, I’m originally more of an exotic animal kind of person but after moving to Europe at the age of 16, I found myself loving all animals! I have worked for different charities in different countries like the Brigitte Bardot Foundation and when I was 20, I also worked against the illegal animal trade until my departure to England in 2016. During this time, I rescued most of my pets and filled my family and friends with the animals they still have today.   I am now over 30 years old and have had probably all sorts of animals under my care and continue my route looking after them accompanied by my young daughter as I wish her to grow surrounded by animals like I did so she can learn the compassion and respect all beings deserve. We’re a quiet family living in the quiet country side and my husband and mum love to participate in the care of any of our protégés too, we’re even thinking of making it a family business in the future ! We own a chihuahua and a staffy as well as smaller enclosed pets, live in a 3 beds house with a fairly large garden. Unfortunately, my old chihuahua has developed some heart issues last year so we’re not taking in medium/large breeds home anymore but are still able to accommodate smaller dogs or others animals. I’m also always happy to walk/visit/petsit when people get the trust to leave me with their pets/homes. Anne I am home most of the time but when I’m not my husband or mum is. I work with my chihuahua and our staffy stays at home, they both go on at least 1 hour walk a day & have always access to our garden. Everything is organised around the pets as we have always had pets. If I have to stay at someone's place to pet-sit, my husband takes over with our own pets but we do always work as a team. My home has always been safe for kids and animals as I've always had pets and one of my dog is very small. We have a large enclosed garden and a lot of green areas around the house. I do prefer going to the pets' homes when possible as this way, I know the animal is less confused with a new home and strangers.

About: We are a semi retired British couple who love animals and have been full time pet/house sitters since May 2022. We are vegetarian, non smoking, and enjoy yoga, walking and travel. Together we have run a holiday letting business in SW Wales for over 15 years as well as courses for people suffering with Chronic Fatigue/M.E and stress related conditions. All of our therapy and holiday property lettings work has moved online now so we can work remotely from anywhere. This has allowed us the freedom to be full time house/pet sitters and we are loving it! We stay at pet owners homes and very rarely leave pets alone - particularly dogs. Your home will be kept tidy and spotlessly clean at all times. We are DBS checked and insured. Numerous reviews (all 5*) available on request.

“Leanne was fab, she came for her first drop-in for my two dogs, she was very flexible and reliable which was incredibly helpful as it’s around Christmas and everyone is so busy normally! Can’t wait till have her over to stay with the dogs while we’re away soon 🙂”

About: Hi, my name is Taeya, I am a student of ecology and wildlife conservation at the University of Reading. I have always loved and cared for animals, whether they are pets or wild ones. Having family pets has meant I have developed a great attention for what our furry friends need for a happy and healthy life. I have lived in the countryside most of my life, and I love spending time outdoors, on walks and explorations. Previous jobs, such as dog/cat/house sitting, early years education, and caring for older adults, have enabled me to develop excellent communication skills and an ease in dealing with messes and cleaning. I can be adaptable to all family needs, being a fast learner, I can quickly pick up skills or practices. Working with animals is always a joy, understanding the wonderful and different characters of all pets. I can provide private work references on request. I am a final year university student living at home with my family. I commute to and from Reading a few days a week in term time and study remotely otherwise. My schedule is very flexible and ever-changing. I have a good size fenced garden in the countryside, with 2 small and friendly dogs that are good company. Walks in the area can span from 30 minutes to 4 hours and more. There is also a dog walking park near where I live so that’s a great place to go if dogs need some time off the lead but also in a safe environment.

About: I would love the company and to care for your dog whilst I am working and living in Tidworth when I’m away from my family including our 2 Jack Russel twin dogs and 2 cats. As I work and live on Tidworth camp,I’m always 5minutes from home or at home and I am quite active and would enjoy company when going on walks,I would be able to walk them regularly and take them on toilet breaks and enjoy playing with them during the days their in my care. I have areas they can run around that are fenced available for them to be safe when off a lead, one being a fenced tennis court.I also would be able to walk them regularly around camp if preffered or outside on different trails animal friendly.I will also always be at home or working 5minutes down the road so will be able to take them on regular toilet breaks and play with them throughout the day :)
