“This was my first time using Rover, I had been let down by a boarder elsewhere so needed someone last minute for Ruby so I could attend a suprise Family meal.

About: I’ve taken care of all different breeds of dogs since I was a young child, I’ve always grown up with a family dog, usually 2 or 3. Our family dog had a litter of puppies 5 years ago and I helped raise them from birth. I love going on long walks but, also happy for short walks based in the dogs needs. I grew up with a British bulldog who would only walk around the block and refused to walk any further so I understand all dogs are different. I currently work full time Monday-Friday, but I work from home, so happy to dog sit and work from your house. I’m also available at weekends, early morning and evenings for walks and check ins. I will care for your dog based on their schedule and requirements, I will only give dog treats if you are happy for me to as I know some dogs have dietary requirements.


13. Anastasija G.
About: No walk is too long! Since I remember myself I had pets. Family and friends always trusted me their beloved fur kids. Bathing after beach walk, long walks and playing with the ball. Cuddles and butty scratches. Nail trim, ear cleaning, vet visits. Training through the games. I am staying at home housewife who enjoys every day with my lovely 2 teens and 2 fur kids. I do have a sources and time to provide extra care for your pet whilst you are away. I have a massive fenced garden. Also, I do have a car to travel. All my muddy gear is ready no matter what weather is outside.


14. Sara G.
“I have known Sara for some time now and have always found her friendly and helpful, her love of animals was obvious. A month ago I fell and broke my arm, some of that time Sara and her partner looked after my dog Hannah, Hannah thoroughly enjoyed herself.”


15. Chloe J.
About: I have had a family dog since I was 14 and as soon as I moved out at 18 I got my own dog. I now currently have 4 dogs (one labrador and three crazy springer spaniels) as well as three horses. I have over 18 months worth of veterinary receptionist experience. Whether your dog/cat likes to cuddle, play, go for long walks or nap, I can promise you they will be cared for like they are my own. I currently work 8am-6pm so I am available for morning and evening pop ins/walks and I am completely free during the weekends for house sitting, walks or pop ins. Unfortunately due to having my own four dogs at home I am unable to offer boarding. However, I am happy to pet sit. That way your pets can stay in their own environment and I can continue their routine.
