About: I grew up with dogs and understand the need to leave your pooch in the hands of someone you trust. I would be happy to meet up before you put your dog in our care to see if we are the right fit for you and to talk through your dog’s routine/requirements. I work in education (DBS checked) so therefore have a lot of time in the holidays to look after your dog. I also work part time so can offer dog walks/drops ins on days I am off. I have 2 children who adore dogs so I could only offer our services to dogs who are good with children. We would only be able to care for small or medium sized dogs due to their ages. We have a secure garden to provide enrichment for your dog whilst they stay with us. We live close to some gorgeous parks and the beach so could provide some lovely long walks. I work part time so am available Mondays and Fridays and most weekends. We are an active family who enjoy long walks on the weekend so would love to have a dog join the fun. We provide a secure garden for your dog to have enrichment outdoors. We would listen carefully to your dog’s requirements and routine and will provide photos of your dog having lots of fun. We would prefer it if your dog would be happy to sleep downstairs.

“Savanna was great, helped me out last minute and took such great care of my cat while I was away, took the time to feed, fuss and play with him. Great communication, regular updates and always a picture or two to show me what he was up to. Would definitely book again!”

About: !!Currently offering 15 mins extra with each 30 minute dog walk!! We lost our beautiful cane corso/boxer November 2024 and since then, we have been enjoying the company of your fur baby’s! We specialise with reactive and nervous dogs and understand the challenges of walking a dog who finds it difficult around other dogs/animals/people. We have experience in dog boarding but we’re full time van lifers now so only offer house sitting, drop in visits and walks! With our walks - if you book a 30 minute walk you’ll receive 15 minutes free! If you are on the fence about any of our services please feel free to drop us a message first and we’ll be happy to chat it through - we know it’s a big decision trusting someone else with your pet 😌 We’ve taken care of dogs for most of our lives but the last five years especially. We had our own rescue boxer/cane corso who crossed the rainbow bridge in November 2024 so want to bring our flat the company it’s missing by looking after your fur baby. Emily used to be a dog walker in the pandemic so she have experience with many breeds and specialises in reactive/nervous/high prey drive animals. We have my availability set to have 2 dogs at a time meaning your dog might be staying with another dog too. But if your dog is reactive or nervous let me know before booking so I can make sure your dog will be the only dog staying with us as. We know what it’s like to have a nervous dog and we would prefer to help make you and them comfortable by giving them the 1:1 attention they deserve to feel at peace while you’re away so please message me and il be happy to organise this. Leigh works from home and Emily only works 6 hour days during term time and off all bank and school holidays so there will always be someone around to look after your pet.

About: I've looked after many family and friends pets (cats and dogs) of all ages and types for years as well as my own family pets. I grew up with dogs 🐕 I work 9-5 Mondays to Friday. I'm available on weekends and/or evenings to help look after your fur babies. I love all animals! I have a Border Collie called Murphy. He is super friendly and patient with other dogs. If you are comfortable with him joining walk too he would love to tag along and make friends!

About: I like dogs and have some experience with friends/family’s (walking, playing, feeding etc), though have never had one myself as my dad is allergic! I’ve had a family cat for over 10 years I am currently working part time so have plenty of time outside of this to look after your much loved pets and give them attention :) I have a small garden and plenty of room and comfy carpets downstairs In their own environment, I will look after them in whatever way feels most comfortable to them and you

About: I grew up around different dog breeds and a variety of different pets. Friends and family have relied on me to take care od their pets and I have experience in raising puppies and training basic commands. I am reliable, trustworthy, experienced and have a love for all animals. I currently work part-time so an able to spend lots of time caring for your pet and meeting their needs. I drive so can easily travel to them and enjoy spending my spare time caring for dogs so am happy to do any job no matter how small. I have lots of experience looking after pets in other peoples homes so am very reliable and trustworthy, leaving it exactly how it was and always being respectful. I always follow instructions, sticking to the pets routine to make as little change as possible and keep it stress free for the pets.

About: I have had different animals from a young age. My first dog of my own as an adult, Niah, was with me for 17 wonderful years until her passing. Since that time, to fill the void of losing her, my friends have entrusted me with their fur babies. I often walk their dogs or have them for sleepovers. I love long walks with my furry friends, cuddles and playing. I treat any of my friends animals as if they were my own, with the upmost care, they know they are leaving them in good hands. I haven’t felt ready to get a new dog since Niah’s passing but so miss having a doggy companion, when a friend pointed me towards Rover, not only would I be helping others it would help me too! I work part-time with a day working from home and with the option to do more days from home if required, so I can be flexible. Not only will they become part of the family whilst they are here, I have a house with a secure garden so they would have access to go to the toilet or play in a large space outdoors.

“Guoda is amazing! She always treats Mochi with love and patience and I wouldn't trust him with anyone else. If you are looking for someone to look after your fur baby than look no further. I can't recommend Guoda highly enough.”

About: As a self-employed personal trainer and online fitness coach, I have a flexible schedule and lead an active lifestyle, so I'm able to give dogs plenty of time, attention and exercise throughout the day. I've grown up surrounded by dogs and have lots of family dogs, so caring for them has always been a big part of my life. My mum is also a professional dog walker and pet sitter, so I've seen first-hand the level of care, responsibility and attention that goes into looking after other people's pets. It's given me a great understanding of how important it is to keep dogs happy, safe and settled while their owners are away. I've also looked after dogs for family and friends, whether that's taking them for walks, keeping them company or caring for them in their own home. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I'll always tailor my care to suit their individual needs. I'm reliable, organised and respectful of both your home and your dog's routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your dog is in safe hands. I'm happy caring for dogs of different sizes and energy levels and will always follow any feeding instructions, medication schedules and walking routines provided. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, loved and well cared for from the moment we meet. As a self-employed personal trainer and online fitness coach, I have a flexible schedule which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. My days are a mix of working with clients, creating online coaching plans and training myself, but I’m able to plan my schedule around walks, drop-in visits and caring for pets in their own home. I enjoy being outdoors and staying active, so dog walks fit naturally into my routine. I’m am flexible with my availability for visits depending on your pet’s needs, and I’m happy to discuss their usual routine to make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet and home are in safe hands. When caring for pets in their own home, I will always respect their environment, routines and individual needs to help them feel comfortable and settled while you’re away. Before any booking, I like to learn about your pet’s personality, usual routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs and any specific requirements so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. I’m a reliable, organised and tidy person, and I will treat your home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully, keep your pet’s safety as my priority and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have a little 9+ year old pug myself so have first hand experience with dogs. I’ve had other dogs in the past so experience handling multiple dogs at one time if needed. I work Mon-Fri, however have the flexibility to work from home several days a week so pet care can be provided during the day with notice. Fully available on evenings and weekends. I would prefer to pet sit at pet owners house. My garden is not fully secure. Caring for pets looks like providing walks, taking time to play/cuddle and generally being around to ensure the pets welfare.

About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover with a lifelong connection to dogs, especially Springer Spaniels my family has had them for over 22 years, so being around energetic, loving pups is second nature to me. I’m really active and enjoy rugby and long walks, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, attention, and outdoor time. Whether it’s a relaxed stroll or a more energetic walk, I’m happy to match your dog’s needs. I’ve already had experience dog sitting, including caring for both a young puppy and multiple dogs at once. I’m also the go to person when my mum goes on holiday I take care of everything from feeding and walking to making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well looked after. I’m reliable, caring, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, so you can feel confident your pet will be in safe hands and treated like part of the family. Pet care fits really well into my daily routine. I’m a degree apprentice in aerospace design engineering, and I work flexible hours, typically from 7am to 3pm. This means I’m available for early morning, afternoon, and evening care, including walks, feeding, and spending quality time with your dog. As someone who is already active and enjoys walking, I naturally incorporate dog walks into my day. I’m used to being responsible for dogs at home too, so fitting in feeding, playtime, and general care is something that comes easily to me. I’m reliable, organised, and able to plan my time well, so your pet will always get the attention, routine, and care they need. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in any environment. In a pet owner’s home, I always follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walk schedules, and any specific instructions, so your pet feels settled and secure. I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, whether that’s regular walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m also attentive to their behaviour and needs, so I can quickly notice if anything seems off.

“Sarah was brilliant. Clear communication throughout, lots of photos and she even managed to get my grumpy cat to sit on her lap - she is definitely a cat expert! I would happily ask her to look after Kiwi again.”

“Amy dropped in to see our cat Mitsy and spend a little time with her whilst we were away. Amy is very conscientious, sent us updates and photos which is reassuring and lovely to see. We've already booked her in for our next holiday. Thanks Amy :)”

I have grown up training and looking after my family miniature schnauzer and cared for him in his old age, administering medication and taking him to hydrotherapy and physio. There is a new pup (miniature poodle) in the family that I look after very often and regularly help with her training. I absolutely love looking after dogs, treating them as our own and making sure they’re having a fun and comfortable stay. I have regulars that come to me weekly that run into my home which is so lovely. We have experience looking after so many breeds such as cockapoos, cavapoos, schnauzers, poodles, dachshunds, schnoodles, goldendoodles, whippets, and many many more! We cannot wait to add your loved fur baby to our forever growing family of pups 🐶 I work from home each day and have the flexibility to go on walks in the mornings, at lunchtime and in the evening. I live in a ground floor flat with large private gardens so we can have run arounds in between our fun walks out! We are 5 minutes from the beach and Branksome woods. My partner is a teacher and is around during weekends, and school holidays for longer stays and day trips out with your precious pooch. At our dog friendly home, we are on the ground floor and everywhere is safe for your pooch to go. We have a large garden for toilet breaks and great sniffs! We will be with your dog at all times, would keep your dog on a lead and adhere to any of your special requirements that you have for your beloved pet. We have a medium sized crate which can be used for travelling in the car or sleeping if your dog is crate trained at night. I have given great care to my elderly family dog, which included giving him medication, supporting him during walks, doing exercises for his back legs and in general giving him love and attention. If your dog has any particular needs please let me know and I’d be happy to help anyway I can.

“Thanks Diana. I know you were there 9.50 - 10.30 so thank you! Like me, you're getting to grips with how the Rover App works as I know I'm your first customer. Importantly, you followed all my instructions and clearly, Millie had a lovely walk and cuddles!”
