I am a fully work-from-home desk employee, so I'll jump at the chance to come out and give your pets all the loving and care they need! I work from home full time with very little timed responsibilities, so I will be available throughout the day to check on your pets. From cat feeding, playing and general looking after to dog check-ins and walks, I'm flexible. I'll jump at the chance to come out and give your pets all the loving and care they need! I will follow all the rules of your home as required. I am happy to spend a lengthy amount of time with your pets at least once a day to ensure they are getting the social time they need while you are away.

About: I work full time from home therefore I am around to play, cuddle and love your doggies all day! We have a "go where you like" policy here. If you'd like to snuggle on the sofa then that's fine with us. I have 3 children ages 7, 13 and 16. They all adore our bullmastiff Maggie. We have had bull breeds for over 16 years. We have some wonderful walking spots on our door step (literally) South hill park, Swinley forest to name a few. Maggie our Mastiff is a big softy and loves other dogs for sleep overs. We lost our English bulldog before Christmas 2025 so she loves other dogs company even more so when we have visitors to stay. She is super chilled. All my children are calm and attentive to all animals, my eldest will most likely accompany on walks and help out with over night stay etc. He is a massive dog lover, he even picks up the mess!!!! We have an fully enclosed dog friendly garden. There is always someone at home, I work 9-5 Mon-Fri and my hubby works nights, so if I am popping out to shops or school pick up, hubby is here (sleeping but with one ear open) My work is flexible to allow for toilet breaks and walks, and cuddles are available always! If a pet comes for day care or sleep overs then we will treat them just like we do our dog, part of the family. They can go on the sofa and snuggle up, or if they need time to reset and be alone, we have crates here if needed, or separate rooms if not crate trained. There will always be space for them to rest alone if needed. Walks will be dependant on the dog, If you need 3 walks a day then we can do that, if they need one we can do that too! We all work together to make sure everyone is cared and accommodated for. If we visit for a drop in at someone's home, we will be respectful and mindful of your home and adhere to your house rules and ways for the dog, ensuring everything is left as we found it and locked up safe and sound.

Alisia has been such a huge help these past few days we've been in our new house and managed to make arrangements at very short notice to walk our dog Luna during workdays we couldn't be here. She was very quick to respond to my request, easy to communicate with from start to finish and provided updates on each of the walks. We would highly recommend her to anybody!

About: ****Bracknell & Ascot only**** Spending time with cats is the best feeling ever. 🐾 I have over 10 years of professional experience working with cats and have been a cat owner all my life. While living in the Midlands, I ran and directed my own cat-sitting business, and after returning home I’m excited to continue offering cat-sitting services alongside my work in a cattery. I understand that every cat is unique and that their needs can vary greatly. I’m confident and happy to administer medication when required and will always keep you updated on how your cat is getting on while you’re away. At home, I share my life with my family cat Charlie and two little ones, Dusty and Ash — it’s safe to say cats truly are my life. I’m pet first aid trained and DBS checked for your peace of mind. Please feel free to get in touch for more information — I’d love to meet you and your cat. I can also take care of dogs and other small animals. ****Bracknell & Ascot only**** Thank you. Kerry

About: I’ve grown up with all kinds of pets, my first pet was a cat called Salem and he lived till the wise old age of 18! I have lived with a large male German shepherd for five years and cared regularly for him (and still do), and now have my own cockapoo who I adore! Training is so rewarding and I would love to do bits of training while your dog is with me on walks or if I am dog sitting. If dog sitting I also provide enrichment activities such as sniffing games, and lots of play to create a lovely bond with your dog! Pet First Aid and CPR course which is CPD/ICOES accredited If dog sitting your dog, I get up at 6am and go for a morning walk around 8am, another one at 12-2pm and one more at 7/8pm, so depending on your dogs exercise levels there will be lots of mental and physical stimulation opportunities or they can just chill out with me if they prefer! I work from home but do not have the required insurance for dog day care or boarding - only dog sitting in your own home. I will provide lots of opportunities for exercise and mental stimulation. I offer enrichment activities such as sniffing games or frozen licki mats, lots of play to focus on creating a lovely bond and trust with your dog and most importantly lots of love and care! I can give medication to dogs if needed.

About: As someone who uses Rover for our own dogs, I completely understand how daunting it can feel to leave your dog with someone new. We truly get it and are here to make the experience as reassuring and positive as possible. I started looking after dogs because they bring a kind of purity and simplicity to life that is hard to find elsewhere. It's a kind of love that can be communicated without the exchange of words or fancy gifts. In their own quiet way, dogs give us everything - muddy paws on clean floors, unwavering loyalty, and a love that asks for no words at all. We share our life with our two gorgeous Beagles, Basil and Rufus, who are full of mischief, full of heart and never far from our side. They are Father & Son but also best friends (and partners in crime). When they meet your dog, they might howl when they first see them (classic Beagles) but once they sniff they are all good after a few minutes. They are unphased by new dogs coming into their home, and are more than happy to share beds and space. They are used to this and not territorial. Myself and my partner Cam have both grown up in homes with dogs (more specifically Spaniels), and caring for them has always been a natural part of our lives. As both of our dogs were rescues, we have worked through challenges with separation anxiety and nervousness with time, patience and consistency. Additionally, my sister has a reactive Frenchie, which has given us further insight into the needs of nervous or reactive dogs. Because of these experiences, we genuinely understand how to support anxious or reactive dogs, tailoring our approach to suit each individual’s unique personality. Schedule We both work from home full-time, so dogs are a core part of our daily routine. Our two are always by our side - whether we’re working, relaxing, or out in the garden. We are used to providing structure, enrichment and plenty of company throughout the day with lots of nice places close by to exercise. We occasionally pop out without them, but it’s rare and never for long (much to their delight) because they have separation anxiety. Safety, trust & enrichment We have a very "dog proof"/"Beagle proof" home as our two can be mischievous at times. When our own dogs go to a sitter, safety is always at the top of our minds. That’s exactly the same approach we take with every dog we look after. Our home has a fully fenced garden that’s safe for play and exploration, and we carefully supervise all interactions between dogs to keep things calm and stress-free.

About: I've grown up with dogs and currently own a 9 year old cockapoo. My cockapoo, Amber, has had 2 litters ( the youngest are now 6) and we are still in contact with/ look after a number of her puppies. My childhood dog was a Rottweiler cross German Shepherd and I understand the need for consistency in commands and training. I also help out in looking after my brothers 3 year old German Shepherd so have recent experience with a variety of dogs and ages. I am a shift worker so my pet care capabilities are on my days off so I will be able to spend all my time with your pet during the day. I live in a house with a newly fenced garden so the property is very secure. If you would like me to visit your home to care for your pet I will fully respect your home and your rules.

About: I absolutely love dogs, to the point that I'm considering dog caring as a new career option. I have owned a pedigree Westie for the last five years since he was a puppy and took him to puppy training classes locally. I am very friendly and enjoy meeting people as well as getting to know their dogs and often chat to other owners and stroke their dogs when out walking my own. We have lots of great walks nearby and I also love exploring! I have a dog-flap installed so your dog can access a fenced garden as they need throughout the day so that's one less thing for them to worry about. I am relaxed and happy to welcome your dog as if this is their own home from home. We're looking forward to meeting you.

About: Introductory lower prices to get more experience! I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, from two energetic black labs to multiple cats (some who even gave birth on my bed 😅🐾). I’m confident, caring, and love making pets feel comfortable, happy, and loved. I am currently building up my own business so alot of availability and am keen to get started - I can work Monday - Friday (Potentially Saturdays daytime) 9am - 6pm I will always make sure your lil friend will feel well loved and safe with plenty of cuddles, ball throws & WALKIES! In my opinion the world just need more animals! I ask if booking a walk that you only book if your dog has a good temperament and is non threatening to other dogs.

About: Although I haven't done dog sitting professionally before. I have taken care of a couple dogs for family friends. We would take them out on a walk in the woods around town, feed them good meal and play with them. I also had cats, fishes and a hamster before so I love taking care of animals giving them a warm comfortable home. I do have college 3 times a week. So on Tuesday I'm unavailable all day and Wednesday and Friday afternoon I am free. If I am needed and you are desperate I will be able to take off early for college on Tuesdays and go straight to your house and take care of your pets. I would care your pets by cleaning up their mess in their house, washing their bowls and plates, give them a bath if needed, buy them toys and treats, cook them dinner as a treat if needed, take them on walks. I will also offer if I do stay over night at your home to help with chores that need done if and whenever I have time too.

About: I’ve had family pets, my whole life and have always been that trusted auntie, who cares for all of the dogs while friends and family are away. My 6 month old pup Simba absolutely loves a play date. He is so kind and gentle with other dogs, that he can bring out the inner puppy in every pooch! We create a home from home environment for your dog, whilst you’re away. I work from home, and so I can ensure your pooch has company all day. We live right next to a dog park, for a good lot of exercise, and I have a garden for free flow access throughout the day and night. On weekends, we may go on bigger adventures, so let us know how active and mobile your dog is, so we can ensure they keep up. I have a fenced in garden, and will take your guidance for on/off lead walks in the park. I will ensure I build trust either way with your dog, before progressing to any step.

Leonie and Anthony were superb. I had not used Rover (or dog walkers I didn't previously know), so I was a little apprehensive. I need not have worried. They came to meet my dog in person before the dog walks were scheduled to start. Whilst we were away, they walked our dog 1 hour per day and sent lovely photos and feedback on each of the walks. Their communication was superb. Would highly recommend.

Pippa is an absolute star, my wife and I knew within the first five minutes of meeting her she has a genuine love of dogs. Our Loki is a very energetic Border collie and you could tell there was a genuine bond almost immediately. He came back from his walk today happy and exhausted.... Two things we love to see. Can't recommend Pippa enough.
