About: I grew up with many animals around me - From childhood dogs and cats to hamsters, guinea pigs, snakes and axolotls ! I have an extreme passion for animals and not being able to have my own animals in a rental has got me severely missing having a furry friend around. I’ve raised many sizes of dogs from a jack russell to a mastiff, and love all breed equally ! As well as taking care of my personal family animals i have dog and cat sat for many family friends :) I work 9-5, Mon- Wed , so my evenings and weekend are free along with Thursdays and Fridays . I’m very active so long walks/ Hikes are no problem , I also drive so getting to your dogs favourite location is easy ! In your home I am happy to feed, brush, bathe and take care of all your dogs needs ! I am familiar with dog training and am happy to follow any rules or wishes you have for your dog regarding crating , commands and tricks to keep them happiest and healthiest
About: Hi my name is Fiona, I'm a healthcare professional recently returned to Belfast after living in NZ for 4 years. I am new to this website but already have experience dog sitting in NZ which I absolutely loved (I have attached some photos and reviews from previous experience). I am a reliable and friendly person who will take good care of your dog, keeping them happy and make them feel loved while you are away. I work part time work so I am able to take boardings up to 4-5days when I am off. My work is variable so if my calendar is open I aim to be flexible and work around your request for short stays as I would love to spend my free time looking after or walking your dog. I hope to keep my schedule flexible in the coming months if you would like your doggy to have a familiar face for future walks or stay. I have a small enclosed yard where I can play with your dog safely as well as plenty of space in my house where they can roam around freely. I live with my partner who also loves dog, he works full time and so may be around some of the time during your dogs stay.
About: My partner Sarah and I both love animals and give them as much attention as they require ☺️ We currently have an 8 year old beagle who is diabetic and blind in one eye. So we are well used to giving attention, belly rubs, sniff requests and giving different types of medication - injections, eye drops and oral. We have senior cat experience with our late cat Tabby who had arthritis and was on multiple medications. My partner and I work from home with one of us available to stay with the animals, available most evenings and weekends with enough notice. My own dog will be in the house. The back garden is completely fenced and covered, even my own little escape artist hasn’t found a way to escape just yet. House is fully free to roam for all animals.
“Having Dave take Dylan out twice per week is fantastic. Dylan seems very happy with his walks and Dave is very reliable meaning that I am assured Dylan will get the exercise he needs. ”
“Aimee was great with Pippa. This was her first time looking after her and got on well with her and I knew Pippa was in safe hands. We will be using Aimee again to look after her/ take her on walks.”

Dog owners share their Rover experiences - Belfast
Stacie made a fantastic first impression. It was immediately clear how passionate she is about dogs and how much she genuinely cares about them. She is also incredibly kind, punctual, reliable, and professional. Taking care for Zeus, Stacie kept us updated and sent us lots of lovely photos. It was wonderful to see how happy and entertained Zeus was in her care. What really reassured us was Zeus’s reaction when he saw Stacie the next day — he was clearly so happy to see her again! That alone showed us how much he enjoyed his time with her. We would highly recommend Stacie to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to look after their dog. We will definitely be using her again!
This is the second time I’ve used Caitlin to walk Maisie. She is super friendly and Maisie is so delighted to see her every time. She’s caring, reliable and flexible and you can tell she has a real love for animals. Maisie really enjoys her walks with Caitlin and she makes everyone feel comfortable and at ease. I will definetly continue to book Caitlin in the future! Would highly recommend!!!
I’ve been so worried about having someone else walk Ben as he is a strong boy with selective reactivity. Eddie is clearly very experienced with big dogs and Its obvious that he has a great love for them. Ben was so comfortable with him from the moment they were introduced and put my mind at rest that he was in safe hands. Will definitely book Eddie again and highly recommend
Aimee has been great helping walk Pippa over the last few weeks! She always sends updates and photos to let us know how the walk went and from their initial meet and greet they got on so well and you could tell Aimee is great with dogs! I will definitely continue using Aimee to help walk Pippa!
Jack has been fantastic with my dogs—truly brilliant service. It’s obvious he genuinely cares about and understands dogs, as mine took to him straight away. Now, all I have to do is say his name and they’re at the back door, ready to go! He’s super reliable and has a calm, confident manner that’s really reassuring. I always feel at ease knowing they’re in such good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jack to anyone looking for dog walking or dog sitting services. He’s trustworthy, sensible, and great with the dogs—10/10!
Cameron was here to collect lubo 5 minutes early and I had chatted to him about what lubo wants and needs, as far as I’m aware he done all of that down to a tee as lubo was a very happy dog when he came home and tired out from the walk! Couldn’t recommend him enough.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-to-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Belfast. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poo and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Belfast.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
