“Molly has been looking after Kenya for some months. We find her extremely reliable and caring. Pays a lot of attention to details and requests regarding what Kenya is allowed to get up to in the house. Also very flexible if rearrangements are needed. We thoroughly recommend her services.”


About: Remote worker living in central Bath with my partner. Due to future travel, we are unable to have our own pets, so it would bring me endless joy to care for yours. Fully privately insured (via Protectivity plan) for dog walking and house sitting. Comfortable with dogs of all shapes and ages, having grown up with / cared for multiple energetic breeds. Experienced with puppies and seniors, and am more than happy to provide personalised care routines for special cases. I prioritise good communication with owners and will strive to create a trusting relationship with both you and your pet. Flexible schedule due to home working - I often work whilst housesitting and can easily pop out multiple times a day of walks. I can incorporate lots of time outdoors and playtime. I have access to beautiful green spaces within walking distance and a large green space on my front doorstep (Norfolk Crescent) which is quiet and away from major roads. Your pet is a treasured guest, welcome in every part of my home - including my sofa and bed, if they wish! I rarely leave dogs alone unless absolutely necessary, and tend to have eyes on them at all times.

About: Hi, I’m Lizzie! I’m a young professional living in Bath, and I’m a huge dog lover. After my friends kept joking that I was already running a doggy daycare – since there’s always a furry friend around – I decided to make it official and join Rover! I have lots of experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, and since I work from home, I’m available to look after your pup during the day, evenings and weekends. I also have a large secure garden where dogs can roam freely, and I’ll ensure they feel completely comfortable and at ease in my home. If your dog stays at your home, I’ll ensure they’re comfortable and feel like you never left. Plus, I’ll keep you updated with regular photos or videos so you can stay connected. Your pup’s happiness and comfort are my top priority. I’m here to provide the care and attention they need, whether it’s playtime, cuddles or just some company! I work from home during the day and I’m around most weekends too! Please get in touch with whatever you need and I’ll try my best to make it work 🫶🏼 I live in terraced house in Oldfield Park with a secure garden – perfect for the pups to get fresh air and explore. My home will feel like theirs, ensuring they’re comfortable and relaxed. It’s also just my partner and I in the house (even though he’s out during the day) so they’ll have a calm, welcoming space with plenty of attention and care.

About: Hi! I'm a recent graduate and a lifelong pet lover. While I don't have a pet of my own just yet (emphasis on yet!!!), l've been pet-sitting for over 5 years and absolutely love it. I've looked after all kinds of pets - from affectionate lap dogs and cats to ones with shy, independent personalities — and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique quirks and routines. You'll get daily updates, photos, and videos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and safe. Contact me to set up a meet-up before boarding your pet 🙃 Hi! I'm a recent graduate and a lifelong cat lover. While I don't have a pet of my own just yet (emphasis on yet!!!), l've been pet-sitting for over 5 years and absolutely love it. I've looked after all kinds of pets - from affectionate lap dogs and cats to ones with shy, independent personalities — and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique quirks and routines. I provide a clean, cozy, and secure home for your pet, with plenty of sunny spots for lounging. All windows are secure, and I keep a calm atmosphere to help even the most sensitive pets feel at ease.

About: I looked after a 3 month old puppy in my own home for several weeks while her family were abroad, this included beach trips, train rides etc. Have also had several house sitting jobs while studying at Uni, looking after people’s dogs. As a recent graduate I have tons of free time while I find a long term career. Job searching is a mostly online process so can do this from home while keeping your pet company. I’m also a very active person who loves long walks so your dog would get lots of exercise! When in your home I tend to spend all of my time with your pet, playing with them as much as they’ll let me! And on walks I will rarely take a dog off the lead- only if it’s been made very clear by owners that they have amazing recall with anyone. I also won’t let your dog into the garden without constant supervision.

About: I’m a qualified, professionally trained dog walker and sitter based in central Bath. I currently work part-time for a pet care company where I support a wide range of dogs, from anxious rescues to excitable adolescents and calm older dogs. I’ve also grown up with dogs and have years of real-life experience caring for family and friends’ pets, including house sitting, solo walks and enrichment. I’ve trained in reactivity management, canine body language, enrichment-based care and positive reinforcement. I’m confident handling big emotions, nervous temperaments and high-energy dogs, and I always take a calm, thoughtful approach to helping dogs feel safe, understood and relaxed. I’m available most Fridays to Mondays for walks, drop-ins and house sitting in and around Bath. I work part-time at a pet care company walking dogs Tuesday to Thursday, but I’ll always do my best to accommodate other days if I can, feel free to message and ask! Your dog’s wellbeing is my top priority, and I always adapt my care to their individual needs. I use positive reinforcement and gentle handling, and I never force a dog into situations they’re uncomfortable with. I’m confident managing reactivity, big emotions and lead handling, and I’m fully equipped with leads, long lines, treats and enrichment tools. When caring for dogs in your home, I always respect your space and stick to the routines and house rules your dog is used to. I’ll keep in touch with regular updates and make sure you feel totally at ease while you’re away.

About: Growing up, I had the opportunity to play and entertain my family member's dogs, as well as take care of my own kitten for 10+ years. Whether it's ensuring their dietary needs are met, creating a safe and stimulating environment, or showering them with love and attention, I take immense joy in providing the best possible care for our furry companions. Each interaction with these incredible creatures has deepened my understanding of their unique personalities and the profound bond they share with humans. Although I have never had my very own dog, I have come to appreciate the immeasurable love and happiness that they bring into our lives, and I am committed to making a positive difference in the lives of these loyal and cherished members of our families. My hope is to look after your dogs, while saving enough money to adopt my very own puppy, hopefully a sausage dog :) I currently have a full time job 9-5:30pm and always take an hour lunch break, which can be used as an hours long walk with your dog. I can also do evenings after 5:30pm and weekends. Whether in my own home or a pet owner's home, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of the animals. This includes following feeding schedules, providing exercise and playtime, ensuring grooming and hygiene needs are met, creating a safe environment, administering medications if necessary, offering love and attention, and maintaining open communication with pet owners. My goal is to provide personalized and exceptional care that addresses the unique needs of each pet, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and happy while under my supervision.

About: I have always grown up surrounded by animals including, cats, dogs, a tortoise and a house Rabbit. I have lots of experience walking, feeding and caring for dogs. This also includes experience as a part time dog groomer. I currently work shifts at a hot yoga studio, typically from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM or 5:00 PM to 9:30 PM. This schedule allows me to be quite flexible and available outside these hours to meet all of your pup’s needs! I have lived in bath for over 2 years now so I’m very familiar with dog friendly locations as well as the best parks and walks for your dogs

About: I've taken care of my family dogs for over 14 years from Jack Russells to Labradors and Beagles. I have also dog sat for family friends over the years.

I understand that every pet is unique, so I always follow your routines and house rules to help minimise stress and keep things familiar for your pet. I absolutely adore animals and will treat your pet with the same love and attention I give my own.

About: I have grown up around dogs and care for my parents very often, I have a huge love for them and love being able to do something like this. I work a very flexible job allowing me to be at home or return for frequent toilet breaks every 2-4 hours and also walks and play time. I live in a flat but with a lovely secure field and country park nearby for walks, a grass area just outside my home for loo breaks. I stick to the routine in which the dog is used to so that they feel at home and comfortable.

“Sarah did a great job of looking after Otto for me while I was away for work. I initially booked two walks to keep him occupied during the day but she very kindly spent the afternoon with him to keep him company. She is clearly a natural and he took to her straight away. She kept me informed during the visit and I would highly recommend her. 😊”


About: I grew up on a farm with all types of dogs and have experience that ranges from Chihuahuas to Newfoundlands (very big dogs).

My flat has two floors but is spacious and has a variety of flooring if your pet is more likely to make messes x

Emily L.Star Sitter
“Emily was a godsend and a wonderful dog sitter for my senior Springer Spaniel/Border Collie. Her love for animals shone through and although my dog is blind and deaf he took to her immediately. Emily kept us updated with lots of photos and updates as we were very anxious to leave our old boy. Not only did Emily look after our dog, she also fed our fish and our crested Gecko. I would highly recommend Emily to look after your precious pets.”
