About: I've been around all creatures great and small for longer than I can remember, and have loved animals than I can remember still. My experience as a pet owner is with smaller mammals - I am the proud parent of two rats - while other pets I have experienced through relatives and family friends. I spent long summer days as a teenager cat-sitting for my grandma - I don't think Tuppence (the cat) ever quite warmed up to me, but she enjoyed using me as a place to sunbathe and very much liked when I would attempt to bribe her affection with treats. I have been around dogs my entire life and, more recently, have enjoyed work as a dog walker for a family friend and their animal-care business. This is where I have gained my professional experience in animal care, having completed a Dog Walking and Pet Sitting Diploma as part of this placement. Overall, I have experience with every variety of pet, including rescues and especially seniors. I'm currently formally unemployed, doing some casual work as a dog walker. Most of my time is spent with my gorgeous pair of rats (Baba Yaga and Kugrash), who are endlessly amusing and endlessly keeping me busy cleaning the out and creating new and incentive ways to engage them. As it stands, I have plenty of free time to spend caring for other people's pets - because every animal deserves the same love and companionship as my Mischief! I would be offering my services to care for your pet in your own home, so I would want to understand your typical routine and dynamic. In my Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Diploma, I learnt best practices for maintaining safety and trust for all involved, including rudimentary pet first aid (which I intend to learn more about).

“Michelle was brilliant, so kind and friendly and our dogs love her. It was so reassuring to know they were well cared for whilst we were away. It’s great to know there is someone we trust for any future holidays.”

About: I’ve previously had my own dogs (lurchers, saluki cross and greyhound cross). I have also volunteered at a local rescue shelter for several years. Additionally I frequently look after neighbours and friends dogs as needed. I currently work on the bank for the NHS, I can pick and choose when I work but still require appropriate notice. This means I can be flexible to a point if notified early. Due to working in the NHS I have an up to date enhanced DBS. I can’t look after pets in my home as I rent, but I have plenty of places I can take dogs in the daytime or visit their own home.

About: I’ve taken care of a range of dogs over the last few years, from a super cute and cuddly cockapoo to a slightly stubborn but adorable staffy. I have the most experience with my own family dog who is almost 6 years old, which I take a lot of responsibility for. I am available for dog walks, pop-ins to check up on your dog, as well as house-sitting for your dog. I know how your dog is another member of the family, and I will be sure to take care of them like they are my own! I am currently a university student working part time, with the break for summer I have a lot more free time and availability on my hands. I am available for dog walks & check-ins most day, and boarding throughout the week! I currently don’t care for pets at my own home for safety reasons as my garden is not fully fenced in & my family dog (even though he likes other dogs) wouldn’t be happy with another pet in his house

About: ***TRAINING AS A DOG BEHAVIOURIST*** ***FULLY INSURED*** ***ENHANCED DBS CHECK*** ***CANINE FIRST AID TRAINED*** I have always loved animals and as we couldn’t have a dog of our own when I was younger, I did dog walking and sitting for friends and neighbours. We got a puppy 18 months ago, and he has changed my life in so many ways. When we first got him he lacked confidence and could be shy with strangers, but through all the research I’ve done to try and help him live his best life, I've realised just how passionate I am about dogs and how much joy I get from being around them. 🐶🐾 I can offer walkies, drop-in visits and dog sitting in your home. I’m happy to stay overnight with your pup, however due to having a young daughter I can only do this for one night at a time. I'm also currently studying for a Level 6 Diploma in Clinical Canine Behaviour through the Canine Behaviour College. This course is the first of its kind as it's Ofqual-regulated and was developed by well-known veterinary behaviourist, Tom Mitchell. This means I have a good understanding of dog behaviour and body language and am learning new force free training games and solutions for problem behaviours. Happy to talk about how I can incorporate training into walks or dog sitting if this is of interest. Please get in touch with any requests or questions, and I'll do my best to help! I work 4 days per week, but 3 of these are from home and I have a lot of flexibility with my workload. Happy to discuss how I can be flexible and move my schedule around to meet your needs. I know from personal experience how nerve-wracking it can be to leave a member of your family with someone unknown. I’m committed to making sure your pets feel happy and relaxed with me and I’ll follow any instructions about their care that you would like to provide. Please give me as much information as possible about them - they're all individuals and I want to put your mind at ease that they’re being looked after as if they’re my own.

“Gabby is wonderful. Our dog immediately loved her and her visit was the highlight of his day when my partner and I unfortunately had to both be out working. Gabby always provided comprehensive information about the walk and it's obvious that she is a real animal lover. I can't recommend Gabby highly enough.”

About: I have grown up with dogs throughout my life and currently own a guinea pig- Archie! Over the past 14 years+ I have always had a pet that I have taken care of personally. Most of my family currently own dogs and I am always around them. My mom in particular has 2 Shih Poos and we spend a lot of time together ( please see photos). I am a caring, friendly individual who would love to be able to help the community if you don't have time to walk your dogs in the day! I love getting out and going for walks so this is a perfect opportunity for me to be able to help someone else in the process! I am a supply teacher so my schedule can change day to day, leaving me available on some weekdays. This also means I am available evenings, weekends and school holidays. I have no other commitments. I live in an apartment and therefore I am currently only offering home drop ins and walks. If this changes I will update this information.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all around and absolutely love them, the past year I have worked for a dog walking company. But would like more freedom and have decided to go out on my own. I’m currently doing a canine behaviours course, to give me a better understanding of why a dog could be reactive in a certain way and different ways to help them if I’m the right fit for the dog. I’m currently in the process of making my own dog walking company, I absolutely love going out on walks and being outside. And when you can combine that with a love of dogs, it makes the perfect job. I’m doing little jobs here and there so I can spend most of my time building something for myself, while doing my behaviour course. While doing a sit depending on what you would be wanting in the day, I will be with your pet from 6:30 till 8am the next morning. This way your pup will have plenty of company and can keep their evening routine. Depending on what your pups need I can also hire a secure field, so they can still get a good run around.

“Siobhan kindly came for a meet and greet before walking our dog, which really put us at ease. She’s always quick to respond to messages and provided updates during the walk, including lots of photos! Thank you :)”

About: I am very loyal, trustworthy and reliable. I absolutely love dogs and dogs love me! I am experienced in looking after a variety of dogs and will offer you the upmost love, care and attention that your dog needs. I am very adaptable and very good at taking direction, so I will listen to your instructions and your dogs needs and follow them as necessary, just because I am really loving with some dogs, if you don’t want this with your dog, I know everyone is different I totally understand that and will do what’s right for you and your dog so please be re-assured you are in the right place. We can have a trial first if this helps to put your mind at rest. I want you to be able to be at work or on a night out, or even a long holiday and not be worrying in the slightest that your dog isn’t being taken care of properly, I know that feeling when our family dog was put into kennels for 3 weeks for a wedding and from that time I knew this is what I needed to do as some dogs just hate kennels if they have been bought up in a way and that’s when I decided to start taking care of people’s dogs that feel like they can’t go on holiday or go out as there’s no one like them to have them, non sense! I am your lady :-) xxx

“Reliable, caring and friendly , thank you”

About: I have been caring for animals since childhood from dogs and cats to birds and small animals. Throughout my whole life I have always had a dog ranging from small breeds to the larger breeds and have considered each and every to be part of the family. With this came the experience of caring for puppies, training and all the way through to the senior years. My Monday to Friday schedule is dedicated to pet care, dog walking etc and I am available for house sitting during both weekdays (after 3pm) and weekends. When house sitting during week days I will be with your pet throughout the late afternoon to the morning taking care of their needs, feeding, walking, playtime, toilet trips etc calling in throughout the day and full time during weekends. I also typically like to schedule a meet and greet before any house sitting bookings in order to confirm that I am the right person to meet your pets needs. When caring for your pet in your own home I will try to keep to their usual schedule as much as possible and treat them as if they were my own. I would appreciate it if you would tell me about your pets in advance, things like are they sociable with other dogs while out and about, do they have any allergies or medical needs, if they dislike strangers or certain noises. I would also like to know what they are like in your home, do they have a favourite place to sleep, are they allowed upstairs or on the furniture or do they have a specific routine that you would like kept to. I also hold a full DBS and am fully insured, which I can provide evidence for.

About: I have a 6 year old dog and have regularly cared for family and friends dogs for both short and long periods of time when the family has been on holiday or at work I work full time however work from home on Wednesdays so I can provide care on Wednesdays if you are happy for me to work from your home. I am often available on weekends and evenings I do not care for dogs in my own home as I still live with my parents and there is often multiple people coming and going from the property. I also have my own dog at home

About: Holly has grown up with boxer dogs, Dobermans, cocker spaniels, rabbits, hamsters and fish! She also worked at a dog kennels and a rescue as well as working alongside her mum as a dog walker. Joe has a 1 year old German Shepherd who he took through puppy training and has experience with more reactive dogs! Both of us work full time Monday-Friday, we would love to help out on weekends! We usually head out on a walk and stop by a pub on a weekend so we’d love to have your dog join us We will endeavour to keep your pets as safe as possible and ensure we follow your pet’s specific needs when leaving them after caring for them.

About: I’m a recent Zoology graduate and an experienced animal care enthusiast with over 3 years of professional hands-on experience working with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, most recently employed at a doggy daycare called “Wagworks” in Fulham for 18 months. From walks to playtime, I provide safe, loving care for your pets, prioritising comfort and genuine happiness. Trained in dog behaviour, health monitoring and enrichment, I am passionate about giving each pet personalised attention they deserve. As a fresh university graduate, I am currently looking to take on this work all days of the week apart from sundays, unless I am sitting within your home. Walking/drop ins would be running from 8:30-4:30 monday-friday and 10-3 on saturdays. Walks will be provided within the area until I finish my driving lessons and acquire a car, and any owner requests with those will be taken into account. Drop ins will include a toilet break, some cuddle/comfort time and providing mental stimulation of some kind through sniffing, licking and/or chewing; all natural calming regulators within canine psychology! Unfortunately cannot provide boarding within my family home but am a mature and trustworthy individual to provide house sitting services. Previously worked as a housekeeper and cleaner within various hospitality positions so I can assure your property will be in top shape!

About: I’ve always loved spending time with animals and have cared for cats and dogs for family and friends over the years. More recently, I’ve been house sitting and realised how much I enjoy looking after pets and keeping them happy while their owners are away. I’m a patient and caring sitter who takes the time to get to know each pet’s personality and routine. I’ll always make sure everything is clear by asking questions, and I love sending daily updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands. Whether it’s house sitting, walks or drop-in visits, I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. Pet care fits smoothly into my daily routine. I set aside dedicated time for walks, play, feeding and attention, so I can give pets consistent care and companionship. During house sitting or drop-in visits, I make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely and can easily adjust to special needs or schedules. I also make it a habit to send updates and photos to owners daily, keeping them connected while they’re away. When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I treat their space and routines with the utmost respect. I follow any instructions carefully, making sure pets are fed, walked, and given plenty of attention and playtime according to their usual schedule. I’m patient and observant, so I notice any changes in behaviour or needs, and I make sure to communicate with owners through daily updates and photos. My goal is to keep pets happy, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away. My partner, Harry, joins me during house sits, we're more than happy to do a video call or meet up before hand so you can feel safe and comfortable with us both!

About: I absolutely LOVE dogs! I am an owner of a Cavapoochon and she is my world. I would love to help you with dog walking or drop in visits if you live in the Lickey End or Bromsgrove area and need some help. Walks and visits can take place either with my dog, or without her, whatever your preference is. I work from home so I am around a lot during the daytime. I am able to do walks or drop ins at various times of the day or evening. Your fur baby will be treated like my own when with me! Happy to follow any instructions you have and keep you updated with pictures and videos 😃

About: *I’m new to Rover, and offering an introductory rate* Hi, I’m Jen — a friendly, reliable dog walker based in Cofton Hackett, often out and about around Cofton Park, Barnt Green, and the Lickey Hills with some of my favourite four-legged pals. I’ve been walking dogs for over 6 years and doing a few pet visits over the last 2 years. I especially enjoy looking after small to medium dogs who like calm, relaxed walks full of sniffs and gentle exploring. I always take time to build a bond with each dog so they feel safe and happy with me. Whether it’s a quiet stroll or a little adventure, your pup will get patient care, plenty of attention, and lots of love. My goal is simple: to make sure your dog feels comfortable, content, and excited to see me again! I work from home most of the time, so can fit walks in in the morning, lunch time and after work. I also have some availability at weekends. When doing drop ins, I let the dog out for a toilet break, fill up water and food and fuss and chat to your dog.
