About: I have owned dogs my entire life. Both big and small. I have always been interested in training them. I would always train my dogs as puppies and continue to do so in their adult life. I love walking them, it’s the absolute highlight of my day. Dogs are so much to me, and it would be an honour to be able to meet more amazing dogs! I have currently studying part time so this is perfect for me. I am available a total of 4 days a week and study for the other 3. I feel that this fits into my life very well. If walking your dog, I will be okay whether big or small. I own a large and very strong dog myself so am experienced in walking strong dogs. I am also used to difficult and even reactive dogs and walk them on a regular basis.

About: I frequently look after friends and families pets and have 2 furry babies of my own who live a great life! One is elderly and one is a teenage Labrador so I can manage multiple needs. I have a good sized fully fenced garden and a nice selection of toys for the dogs to play with. One off walks accepted as well as boarding / day care. Let me know any questions! I am available for walks in the early morning / lunch time / evening or weekends. Boarding in my house won’t be a problem but dog must be friendly with other dogs as I have 2 of my own I have a fenced garden and home is completely dog proof due to my own.

About: I am in the process of training to qualify as a Clinical Animal Behaviourist, once qualified I will be working with dogs and their owners to resolve any behaviours causing difficulties. As part of this I will need to gain practical experience with a variety of dogs, I have my own dog, Louie, a cockapoo and regularly walk Springer Spaniels and Labradors. I have volunteered abroad with dogs and have a solid understanding of their behaviours and safety precautions that need to be adhered to, in addition, I am passionate about providing enrichment for dogs in my care and believe that there is more to a walk than exercise. During term-time, I attend university which varies each year, I am required to attend at set times each week. However, during the holidays (May-late September) I have much more free time, I am happy to walk dogs early in the morning or throughout the day. I am unable to care for pets in my home, but can spend time in your dogs usual surroundings if boarding services are requested. If boarding, I can offer either 2 shorter walks or one longer walk a day depending on the requirement of your pet, feeding and toileting can be provided as needed.

“My dog Shane can be a little bit nervous with new people in the house, but Emily quickly calmed him down and he has really enjoyed his time with her. Emily is the first dogsitter I've booked through Rover and I've been really impressed. Emily is polite, professional and clearly has a real interest in making sure the dogs have a good time as well as putting the owners at ease while they are out.”

About: Along with my BSc (Hons) Animal Management degree, allowing me to develop my skills in animal husbandry and knowledge of animal nutrition and health, I also have years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it's puppies that are learning structure, or senior pets who require patience or unique care, I can adapt to each pet’s needs. I am reliable and communicative, and will provide pet updates and pictures while I am caring for them. I will always prioritise your pet's safety and treat every pet like family to make them feel secure and comfortable. I currently work part-time, normally four hour shifts, but can be up to six hours. I will try to match my pet care availability based on the days I am not working to be able to give your pet my full attention. Options can be discussed for pets that have special requirements, such as needing more constant supervision and care, and I will try to fit pet care around my shifts to the best of my ability. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pet. In your home, I will follow your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable, creating a safe and secure environment. I will always stay in touch, providing updates and photos so you can be assured that your pet is happy and safe. I am attentive to any instructions, and I treat each pet like they are my own.

About: Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I grew up with a family cat who I looked after until he reached the remarkable age of 22, supporting him through his senior years with love and patience. For the past 6.5 years, I’ve raised my own dog from a puppy, and during that time, I also lived with and cared for a family member’s dog,giving me daily experience managing two dogs under one roof. I was fully involved in their puppy stages, including house training, feeding schedules, walks, and providing a consistent, loving environment as they grew. In addition to my own pets, I’ve regularly looked after the dogs of family and friends, helping with walks, mealtimes, playtime, and companionship. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I always treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. Whether it’s a high energy pup or a gentle senior, I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and well loved. I currently work part time so will have plenty of time to care for your pups! I am available throughout the day during the week! I have a perfect sized fenced off garden, enough space for zoomies! I do have a dog myself but I will mainly be providing dog walks and home visits!

A few years ago my dream came true and I now own two miniature dachshund who are very sociable and get along other small dogs. I want to help out other dog owners who need someone to look after their dog. From personal experience I have found that my dogs prefer being looked after with other dogs so I am here to offer that service.

Looking forward to meeting you and your four legged friend. I currently work from home most days and go on atleast two walks a day with my own dogs. On weekends we enjoy exploring different parks.
