About: I’m a veterinary surgeon who currently works in small animal clinical practice. Please note I won’t be offering veterinary services but I can help out by giving medication and offering lots of cuddles! Dogs are my life and I have two gorgeous fur babies of my own. Let me introduce you to them: Reign and Chorizo. Reign is my beautiful tripawd Labrador. Following a birth defect she had to have a limb removed but she has never let it stop her from going on any of our adventures! She has the sweetest soul. Chorizo is my crazy, stubborn 6 month old sausage. She is a loud, proud bundle of gorgeous energy. My tiny best friend! I promise that if you trust me with your fur babies I will treat them like one of my own. I.e., with excessive amounts of attention and cuddles (if they enjoy these things!) and lots of great walks. I work full time as a veterinary surgeon but do have an odd shift pattern so can often fit people in between my working days! I will accommodate the owners wishes and listen to how you currently care for your own dog and follow your routine completely. Hopefully nothing will go wrong but if anything did happen I am fully first aid trained. I also have a three legged puppy and feel confident in dealing with any pets with additional needs including administering prescribed medication.

About: Thankyou for viewing my profile! I’m 20 years old, I have 2 years pet care experience that I completed at Myerscough college, however, I have owned pets, particularly dogs my whole life! It is my dream to set up my own dog walking business and be my own boss! I joined rover to earn a little bit of extra money for my family. I hold a full drivers license. Being a dog owner, I know they mean more to us then ‘just pets’. I assure you I will take care of your pet as my own and give them the best experience while they’re with me. I am currently unemployed, as I have a 1 year old daughter who is not yet in nursery. However, I have adequate childcare for her. I am fully flexible Monday-Friday for dog walking, dog sitting, drop ins etc. I have 2 dogs of my own, so your dog would need to be friendly with others, if you wanted to board your dog with me. I have an large enclosed yard, but this is stones/decking, not grass. I also have a young child, so your dog/s must be okay being around children. Preferably I would choose to pet sit/ board animals in the owners home. As the animal will be familiar with is surroundings, and this works better for me with my schedule. I am able to follow any instructions/ commands you leave me for your pet such as feeding times/walks etc.

About: i’ve taken care more of neighbours dogs more than my own as i personally have not had puppies however i am experienced in senior dogs and training dogs:) I work part time at the moment but have a very flexible schedule:) I DONT do over night stays eg 8am monday -tuesday 8am ect but i can do overnight sitting eg 8pm mon- 6am tuesday! I do take at least a day before booking times due to that leaving stress out and a day for cancellations as i understand sometimes things happen and im not one to judge:) As i have cats i deep clean their litter very often and constantly make sure they have water in their bowls. Eating is a little tricky due to every cat has different dietary requirements and times but if you have a set schedule this is something i will always follow! I would clean up after myself or if your pet has some disabilities or is senior i will always make sure to clean up after them in case of accidents and do everything i can to prevent this:)

DARWEN, BB3

About: I've grown up with dogs, and since 2007 have owned my own - I currently have four dogs (and five cats). I have worked as a dog walker for years, and have recently retrained to work as a Dog Training Advisor. I work full time as a self-employed Dog Training Advisor, Canine Behaviourist and Dog Walker. I am available to work Mon-Fri, but do offer some weekend drop-ins, walks and training sessions too. As a Dog Trainer, I take the time to find out about your dog - their likes, needs, age, health, abilities and any behavioural issues. Although I do offer multiple dog walks, this is only ever done after dogs have been assessed for temperament. Dogs are kept on-lead until engagement has been built up, and are never let off lead if it is your request not to do so.

About: DBS checked, animal first aid certified and fully insured. I’ve spent the past 18 months fully immersed in raising and training my own high-energy, working-line Labrador. That experience has sparked a deep passion for working with dogs and understanding what makes them happy, safe, and fulfilled. One of the things I care about most is making sure dogs get what they need, not just a walk, but real engagement. I love using play, training games, and time in nature, to give dogs both mental and physical stimulation, especially in ways that suit their breed and personality. I am currently undertaking a Level 3 in Canine Behaviour and Learning, and love finding out what makes different breeds tick. I treat every dog in my care as I do my own: with love, respect, and so much enthusiasm. They truly are treated as part of the family. Pet care fits nicely into my weekly routine, and I’m currently available part-time on Mondays, Fridays, and weekends. I keep a flexible schedule on those days, which allows me to give your dog the time and attention they deserve without rushing. While I’m starting with limited availability, I can be flexible when needed. Just reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate you! I’m excited to grow into this role at a pace that allows me to offer the highest quality care. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At home, we have securely fenced areas at both the front and back of the house, with a grassed space perfect for calm, on-lead playtime and games. Inside, our home is dog-friendly and thoughtfully set up with gated areas to keep pets safe and separate from things like children’s toys or anything that could cause stress or overstimulation. There’s also plenty of space for crates or beds, and I’m happy to accommodate your dog’s usual routine, whether that means crate time, free roaming, or something in between. We do have one resident dog: a friendly, 1-year-old female Labrador (currently unspayed), and a cat who is used to being around dogs. I always take introductions slowly and carefully to ensure everyone feels safe and at ease. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I aim to create a calm, secure, and positive environment where they feel relaxed, respected, and happy.

I am delighted with the care that Ruby has given to my cat and how carefully she looked after my home - including alerting me when she had a concern. I will definitely be booking her in the future! The pictures that she sent me clearly showed that my lovely cat was completely safe and comfortable with her! She was even waiting for her after the first day or two! 😊❤️

Heather was really great! We have an elderly dog with mobility problems and she had no problems looking after him and keeping him company for the drop in sessions. Would definitely recommend for anyone with elderly or anxious dogs!

About: With over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and 10 years for cats, I genuinely enjoy providing attentive care for pets of all ages. I have a special affinity for senior pets, ensuring they receive the love and support they need, including administering medications when required. My flexible services allow me to care for pets in their own home, mine, or during enjoyable walks. I thrive on creating a safe, loving environment where pets feel happy and secure, and I take great joy in building connections with each furry friend. I work from home, which allows me to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. My life revolves around my two dogs, Jet, a 3-year-old Staffy mix who enjoys daily walks, and Fendi, a 12-week-old Frenchie who is still learning the ropes. I also have two cats, Jinxi and Joy, who keep things lively. Each day starts with morning playtime and a walk for Jet, while Fendi gets plenty of indoor play and socialization. Throughout the day, I take breaks to check on them, ensuring they feel loved and secure. I prioritize feeding schedules and maintain a clean environment, including deep-cleaning litter trays regularly. My passion for animals drives me to create a nurturing atmosphere where all pets feel happy and cared for. As someone new to pet sitting, I am dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming environment for pets in my home. I ensure that all areas are pet-proofed and clean, providing a comfortable space where pets can feel at ease. With my two dogs and two cats, I foster a friendly atmosphere that encourages positive interactions. I prioritize following detailed instructions from pet owners to maintain their routines and preferences, which helps pets feel secure. Building trust with both pets and their owners is essential to me, as I want everyone to feel comfortable while I provide attentive care. My goal is to create a nurturing environment where pets receive the love and attention they deserve, giving owners peace of mind while they’re away.
