About: I've owned and cared for pets for most of my life, from dogs and cats to guinea pigs, rabbits, ducks, and exotic birds. Walking and playing with dogs is one of my favourite pastimes. I'm currently between jobs, so have time to walk dogs and visit homes to play with pets during the week. I'm available between 9am and 5pm daily during the week, Monday to Friday. I have a large fenced garden and two border Collies. I ensure that they have plenty of water and ensure that they receive the correct amount of food, morning and night. I also take them for daily walks in the countryside as well as taking care of their intellectual and emotional needs.

“Jaco is a lovely person, polite friendly and extremely Helpful. Has a fantastic knowledge about dogs. Always notify me on who the walk went. Which is always nice to know all went well. I would highly recommend him as your dog walker. My dog is very dog reactive and unpredictable. And I trust Jaco can deal with him.”

About: Greetings, pet parents! My passion for animals is matched only by my proven patience with nervous dogs. For almost 8 years, my own beloved, often anxious canine companion has been my greatest teacher, showing me just how much a gentle approach can transform their well-being. I also had two wonderful cats as family members for about 13 years, which truly deepened my appreciation for their unique personalities and needs. My career as a freelance prop maker provides me with a highly flexible and mobile schedule, which is a real advantage when it comes to pet sitting and dog walking. This availability means I can usually be there for your furry friend whenever they need me. Im available daily after 2pm for walkies. Check-in visit available daily. Boarding is also availabe. Fenced yard available. I also have a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. Walkies will be on leash ALL the time. Daily photo update available upon request.

About: I grew up with a big, silly Irish Red Setter who was truly part of the family. He set the bar for how fun, gentle and full of personality dogs can be and we still laugh about his antics today. In recent years I’ve looked after friends’ and family’s dogs while they’ve been away, making sure they’re fed, walked, played with and properly cared for. I absolutely love going on long walks, so having a four-legged pal to join me is always a joy. I’m a naturally caring person and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy and like they’re having their own little holiday too.

“Guys walked Timmy a few times for me now. No issues. Punctual, reliable and trustworthy. I'd definitely use them in the future.”

About: I have loved and cared for dogs my entire life. I grew up rescuing stray dogs and giving them a safe place, food and love. Over the years I have cared for many different breeds, from small playful dogs to large strong ones. I am calm, patient and attentive to every dog’s personality and needs. For me dogs are not just pets – they are family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and being active outdoors. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate proper time and attention to each pet I care for. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings when needed. When I look after a pet, I make sure they receive enough exercise, attention, and companionship. I never rush walks and always adapt the time and activity to the dog’s needs and energy level. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority. I treat every dog as if it were my own. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and properly supervised at all times. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and any instructions given by the owner so they feel secure and relaxed. Even though I live in an apartment, I make sure dogs receive plenty of outdoor time, exercise, and fresh air through regular walks and visits to nearby parks. I keep a calm and clean environment and always focus on building trust with both pets and their owners.

About: I'm a dog groomer and I have helped look after family dogs all my life. I have had my own personal dog for five years. I'm great with all tempers of dogs I'm starting my own business as a dog groomer though things are slow so wanted to start walking and sitting dogs. My business is my priority but if I have no clients I can walk dogs and dog sit. I will work with you to keep you dog safe and their routines kept. I'll keep dogs that need to be on lead on a lead.

About: I have a diploma in animal management and 2 family dogs of my own. I have always loved the company of animals and love to spend time outside with them. Whatever your furry friend requires, I will be happy to deliver and make them feel loved. I am always available to care for your pets! Whatever you need I am happy to help. Please message me if you would like any more information :) I have had family dogs of my own for 13 years which we raised from puppies and so l understand how to care for dogs of all ages.

About: I'm back on Rover after a bit of life upheaval & house moving! Consistently dog sat multiple dogs whilst living in London and have looked after many friends and family dogs over the years whilst being unable to have one of my own. I love dogs and would love to be a dog mum one day! I had my own cats for 12 years and they were my absolute pride and joy! I will happily tailor any pet-sitting to the pet and owner; lots of playtime and cuddles or long walks and an afternoon nap, as long as your pet is happy, I'm happy! I have an incredibly flexible routine as I have unfortunately had to stop work due to a few chronic health issues, so that means i have all the time in the world to focus my time, energy & love on your pet! At all times, your pet's safety is the most important thing. I focus on instructions given by the owner, whilst developing a trusting & loving relationship with your pet.

“Esme took time to get Freddie to get used to her and although he's still quite wary about leaving me, he trotted off with her and seemed to have had a good walk 😊”

About: I started petsitting in July 2021 to turn my animal care hobby into a side profession! I am highly experienced in dog sitting, dog walking and cat sitting on Rover.com and have many repeat clients. I used to board dogs in my family home but now that I am in student accommodation I offer house sitting, drop-ins and dog walking only. I live in the Kensington and Chelsea area, London.
 I am a 5th year medical student in my professional life and before deciding to branch into medicine I had 3 weeks of work experience in various veterinary practices - including Willows and Hollybank. I am also currently undergoing a canine first aid course.
 My pets 
I have had my dog Henry (golden retriever x labrador) since he was 8 weeks old so I understand the constant supervision required with puppies, having been through it myself! Henry is now 3 years old and an absolute joy. He lived with me in London while he was a puppy but now lives in my family home in Cheshire as I am not allowed to have him in student accommodation. 
I am familiar with looking after many types of animal. I have owned cats since I was 8 years old and understand each cat has different needs, personalities and eating preferences, with some being more shy than others. For instance, last year I looked after a very shy cat who only comes out into the open with its owners, and with a gentle and quiet approach I managed to gain the cat's trust and even managed to play with it! 
In my family home we have 2 rabbits which are 10 years old and live in a spacious environment and get fed lots of hay! I understand rabbits' needs very well, and used to have a blog on rabbit care - I am also familiar with RWAF's campaign 'A Hutch is not enough' and understand rabbits' needs for a social companion and a spacious environment to run and play in. Questions
 Please feel comfortable to ask as many questions as you like, I appreciate it can be scary leaving your pet with a petsitter for the first time. Please feel free to contact me if you are unsure about my rates as these can be adjusted depending on the length of service - ie. If you only need me for the evening and not overnight I can reduce rates for you. Please see the ‘safety, trust and environment’ section for more information about my approach to pet sitting. I am available evenings / overnight but have clinical placement in the day Monday -Friday except Wednesday afternoon. I am available all day and night on the weekends. Dogs
 I am very comfortable looking after dogs of all sizes and I'm familiar with positive-reinforcement training techniques so I'm happy to continue any ongoing training with your dog. When I am house-sitting, I like to take dogs out for at least 2 walks a day, and depending on the dog's needs and recall ability I endeavour to take them to local dog parks for a run-around and play. I regularly ensure water bowls are topped up, especially in hot weather, and will work alongside the owner to maintain a desired feeding/treat schedule depending on your preferences. In the house, I like to play tug, fetch and enrichment games with dogs to keep them occupied, and of course lots of love and cuddles if the dog prefers it! I offer house sitting, drop-in sessions and dog walking. 
Cats
 Like with dogs, cats come with all sorts of different personalities! I believe cats require a more gentle and subdued approach than with most dogs (unless the dog is nervous), allowing them to come up to you in their own time rather than approaching them. I offer drop-in sessions and overnight sitting.
 Rabbits 
I understand a rabbit's physiological need to be constantly eating, which is why I will always ensure they have more than enough hay to eat. I will feed your rabbit, top up their water and offer them company, letting them out of their hutch into a secure area to run around if necessary. I offer drop-in sessions and overnight sitting.

“I was nervous about leaving Lyra with someone new but Ellie was brilliant and does your Company proud! She kept in contact sending us updates and put my mind at ease. Thankyou Ellie! And Thankyou Rover!”

About: Raising and training a black lab in London and Hampshire. I have lots of experience with my own , as well as looking after friend’s puppies and dogs. I am on a hybrid work schedule meaning some days I am in London and other days I work from home and am available during the day for pet care. I would just need appropriate notice to ensure it fits my work schedule. I am available evenings and weekends. Happy to work to your schedule and routine. I crate train my own dog and am working on training her to be a working gun dog , so a lot of work has gone into her training, but I am happy to follow the client’s lead with how they would like their dog to be cared for. My dog is incredibly friendly and loves socialising with all dogs , but can be separated if yours needs space .

“Cody is an absolute blessing to have as a dog walker. He takes tremendous care and I have such a reassurance that when Bailey is with him, she is well taken care off. I would 100% recommend him.”

About: I’ve had my own since I was 8, taken care of friends and families pups too. I have also looked after other people’s dogs for weeks at a time and they have relied on me to walk, play, care for, bathe and make sure their pup is kept in the best hands. I am working part time from home so have plenty of time to give attention to and care for your pup. I always make sure I have enough time to give to the animal I’m looking after before anything. I have a fenced garden which is nicely sized, I can fit a crate in if needed but enough room in the bed for them too.
