About: I loved being a dog mum, & I really do know how important it is, to have someone you whole-heartedly trust…. I will ensure I am at home with no other work planned whilst boarding your dog. I have a whole lifespan of dog experience from puppy training, exercising and engaging adolescent energy to elderly care. I grew up with three dogs from a little Lasa Apso to an Old English Gent, with a Corgi Mix in-between. I have experience of fully training my own Cardigan Corgi in the past, the most loyal soul and truly the “goodest boy”. He had an exceptionally sweet character, a dog lover himself and somewhat of a celebrity in our area 🤎 He reached a great age and we had the best life together. He taught me so much, and is the reason I want to be around and care for dogs. WALKING and/or hiking: I am a qualified DofE walk leader for Hertfordshire, so I know the greatest adventures, terrain and many varied local routes. We can walk up to three times a day. With awareness and responsibility; I am a mindful and aware dog carer, especially in public places. Preemptive safety is always my priority. I build an engaging and thoughtful relationship with dogs, practicing communication and embedding routine. I talk to them and we learn together, getting to know each other. BOARDING: For me, owner communication is key, we will set up a meeting to gain an understanding of your dog and their daily routine, their specific requirements and ensure that they have as little disruption as possible whilst you are away. Your dog will be the main character, the whole story, it’s all about them! Most of all we will have fun. VISITS and playtime: A fully engaged and planned visit according to your needs; I will spend this time ensuring your dog knows they are a VIP and cared for. I use reaffirming language to create routine and build effective communication with your dog. I am able to make myself available for boarding 24/7; your dog will be with me and included in every part of my day. I have a good sized fully secure and 6ft fenced garden, I am able to safely transport them in my car with seat belts, a large hatchback area, and a soft cushioned bed in my vehicle. I will be caring for your dog only. For walks I will also only walk with one dog or two dogs maximum from the same family. I have a current valid DBS check.

“He seems to have had a good time and got home happy and a bit tired”

“A fantastic dog sitter who was so accommodating and kind. This is our second time booking and we will definitely be booking again. We were updated throughout the day with photos and a couple of videos and it was so lovely to see. She is very responsive to messages and has taken superb care of our boy. Thank you again! He had the best day 🐶 🐾 ❤️”

“Shakira had the best day with Elena. Walking, swimming, meeting other dogs, lunch outdoors, visiting horses. Elena kept her physically and mentally stimulated.

About: I’m a pet sister from Hong Kong, now living in the UK for the third year. I moved here with my four cats, who are now 6 to 7 years old. After settling down, I adopted a 1.5-year-old Border Collie. I truly love all my pets—they’re my family. Pet care is a big part of my daily life—it’s not just a job, it’s something I truly enjoy. Every day, I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for, whether it’s morning and evening drop-in visits, regular walks, or spending quality time with my own pets at home. I make sure to stay organized so that each pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they need. Being around animals brings me joy and keeps me active, so I always look forward to every visit or walk. When providing drop-in visits or dog walking services, I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and respected in their own environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, whether it’s feeding, cleaning, giving medication, or following a specific walking route or routine. I take time to build trust with each pet, using calm energy and gentle care so they feel comfortable around me. During walks, I stay alert and prioritize their safety at all times—avoiding busy roads, checking their body language, and ensuring they’re always on-leash unless instructed otherwise. I treat every pet like family, and always keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their furry friend is in good hands.

“First time booked with Fiona to look after Willow. We had loads of updates and could see how well she was at home with the family and Burleigh. She was walked and well looked after. She never eats when she's away from us, but she ate whilst there. That means she was comfortable and felt at home. Thanks to you all. We will definitely be booking again when needed x”

About: I am currently on maternity leave so have the time to spend with your furry babies! Cats are my favourite animal and I have my own fluffy girl called Binky. I can’t walk past a cat in the street without kneeling down and psst pssting them for a cuddle. I have experience caring for dogs and frequently help out friends with drop ins and dog walks when needed. Your doggy can expect countryside walks and lots of fuss and attention. I’m currently on maternity leave so have a lot free time to care for your furry babies! I already spend a lot of time out walking so it would be great to have a furry companion and explore some different areas. I’m available for one off bookings or longer term arrangements depending on what you need. I will follow the instructions you provide and take the time to earn your pets trust inside and out of your home. I’ll provide updates and ensure clear communication of any issues.

“Buddy had a great time with John and his dog Maverick. Great communication in the lead up to the booking and photos of Buddy throughout the day. Would recommend and we look forward to Buddy having another fun day with John and Maverick.”

“I can't recommend Alessia enough for dog sitting! She took exceptional care of my Ralph during his first daycare with her. Her warm demeanor and genuine love for dogs made me feel at ease. Ralph came back happy and well-adjusted, which speaks volumes about her attention to detail and affection. I’ll definitely be booking her again for future dog sitting! 5 stars all around! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

“Snoopy was so happy with Sarah and her lovely dogs and had a great time! We had been worried he might be a bit unsettled being with someone new for the first time but we were completely reassured by Sarah’s updates throughout the day and he came home a very happy chappie who slept very well that night. Would definitely recommend Sarah to all”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for several years and have experience with different breeds, including bulldogs and huskies. I also have a dog of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily care, walks, playtime, and giving dogs lots of attention and love. Im currently working part time around 3 to 4 days in the week. I am almost always available on weekends especially on Sunday's but i am willing to work around to help look after your pets I’m a pet owner myself and have a small dog who loves spending time in our fenced backyard and going on daily walks. She would enjoy having a walking buddy to keep her company. I live in a house so your dog would be cared for in a loving, safe, and spacious home with plenty of attention and room.

“Our lively Cocker Spaniel Milo really enjoyed his day with Brad and Chloe and their dogs Mylo and Blue. This was our first time using Rover.com and Brad made the whole process really simple. He communicated well throughout, responding quickly to any questions we had, and arranged a meet and greet before Milo's stay to make sure the dogs would get on well together. Brad is naturally very warm and friendly and clearly loves dogs; He was excellent with Milo. We have no hesitation in recommending Brad and we will definitely be using him again soon.”

About: Been dog owners all our lives & often sit friends dogs. Love watching our friendly dog Roy play with other doggies :) Roy is a very friendly, if not some what excitable 4 year old who loves other dogs. I am at home all the time with Roy! Multiple walks a day and lots of playing in the house :) I can be very flexible with timings of walks, and letting dogs out at their home. I would love having more doggies in the home. I have a fenced back garden, and live close to lovely walks in the local area. I always make sure the dogs we looked after are well fed, well walked and get plenty of love and attention.

“Drummer had a great time, thank you! Ece was very responsive and helpful, recommended.”
