About: I bring a deep understanding and genuine love for animals to every pet I look after, whether big or small, fluffy or scaly! I have extensive experience in animal care, including pet sitting, walking, and training. I have volunteered at various animal rescues, including local cat rescues, and even a ferret rescue. As well as at college taking care of all kinds, from reptiles to farm animals. This has given me valuable hands-on experience with different kinds of pets and their unique needs. At college I studied Level 3 in animal management and welfare, ensuring I’m well-equipped to provide professional and compassionate care. I have experience with caring for dogs who may require extra care or patience such as elderly dogs and those with arthritis, as well as little puppies full of energy who are still learning. Having had cats and dogs myself, I know how important stability and comfort are, especially when pets face changes in their routine. I have two rescue cats at home, and this personal experience inspires me to offer as much reassurance and familiarity as possible during your pets time with me. When I'm away house sitting, my partner is at home with our cats. I’m truly passionate about keeping pets happy, active, and loved while you’re away. Currently I am available when needed. I'm on a zero hour contract with no work available for the next few months. Therefore I am very flexible. When looking after your pet in your home, I ask everything I need to know on the initial meeting to ensure safety. This includes any preferences or routine. Such as, some dogs I have cared for could only walk on soft ground due to their sensitive paws. Ultimately, treating and caring for your home and pet as if they were my own and with the same care and respect I would expect from anyone looking after mine.

“Angel was fab, we are so grateful to her. I came home to a happy and settled dog every evening, all we could ask for. Friendly, professional, courteous and always punctual, so it was a stress free week knowing we could rely on and trust her. She sent maps of walks and lovely photos, too. Would definitely recommend. Thank you, Angel.”

About: Calling all dog lovers! I've been surrounded by wonderful dogs my entire life. Growing up, I had a loyal German Shepherd, and later rescued a goofy Lab. From the tiniest pups to the biggest doggos, I've walked and played with them all. I've also been boarding dogs for several years, and it's taught me so much! Every pet, big or small, has their own unique temperament, and I've learned to adapt quickly to their individual needs and personalities. Ultimately, it's all about giving them love and support. We also have a little Russian hamster, and it's funny how much the dogs and cats enjoy watching her play in her cage. From caring for horses to the smallest pets, I can promise your furry friends will receive all the love and attention they deserve. We know leaving your dog can be stressful for both of you. Your pet's well-being is our top priority. A meet and greet is essential so we can assess compatibility and how quickly your dog settles into a new environment. If everything goes well, we recommend a trial stay. We want to ensure your dog is happy and relaxed while you're away. While we'd love to care for every dog, we're unable to accept pets with separation anxiety or those who cannot be left alone, as our setup doesn't allow for 24/7 home care. However, you can be confident that your dog will receive lots of love and attention during their stay with us! For the garden: "We have a private, fenced-in garden in the front and a tiered garden in the back, offering your dog safe spaces to explore and relax." For the canal walks: "I'm familiar with some scenic canal paths perfect for calm walks and playtime. These offer a peaceful alternative to busier city areas."

“Florence looked after my two kittens over the Christmas period and did such a great job. She kept me up to date with lots of photos and videos of her playing with them, which was so reassuring but also showed how great she was with animals and how much mine liked her. I could not recommend her more!”

“Ruth is amazing! Frank loved her visit and was settled when I got home. I can highly recommend Ruth”

“Ellie was great, no problems at all, we felt at ease leaving our pets to be looked after by her.”

Clare S.

“We have booked Emma a few times now to come and drop in and feed our cat Sandy whilst we have been away. I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough ! She took the time to come and meet her first which I really liked. Both times we have been away I’ve had pictures and videos from Emma of Sandy. I worry a lot with our cat being 16 and on medication but I felt like I left her in good hands both times and she made me feel at ease thankyou so much !”

About: From a young age I have always been fond of all animals and as a family we took on the role as puppy walkers for Guide Dogs. One puppy we adopted unfortunately developed arthritis so could no longer carry on the training but this allowed us to keep him and we had a fantastic 13 years together. He made my childhood and although in adulthood I haven't taken a dog on myself, I am a serial dog auntie to many and offered dog walks and pet sitting to friends/family/colleagues/neighbours etc before I started extending this to services on Rover. I am a really keen walker and know some great dog friendly routes but also always keen for the excuse to find new ones. I do work but have flexibility in my schedule and can work from home too which means I am on hand to be with pets in the day. I do not have the commitments of kids or other pets myself so again can offer that flexible care in the week to meet the needs of different people and their pets. I offer hands on care to ensure the safety and comfort and any pet I am responsible for. I want owners to feel assured their beloved animals are in safe hands. I am flexible to follow the wishes of owners to meet the individual needs of their pets, (however quirky they may be).

About: Hello, my name is Sarah and I have been a dog owner for over 20 years. In modern times I understand we all live busy lives but still want the peace of mind knowing our pets are getting the attention and care they deserve. I offer a professional, friendly and fun dog walking service. I will collect your dog or dogs from your home and return them safely after their walk and playtime. I also offer pet visits for puppies who aren't ready for a big walk yet and senior dogs who might just need some company and a short stroll or toilet break. I have always had a real love and passion for dogs happiness and wellbeing, so whatever your requirements please get in touch and let me help keep those tails wagging.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Over the years I’ve cared for everything from dogs and cats to rabbits, rats, hamsters, and gerbils. These days, I’m a proud dog mum to a Romanian rescue and two wonderfully bonkers spaniels – so I know all about zoomies, cuddles, and muddy pawprints! I’ve worked as a professional dog groomer, giving me hands-on experience with breeds of all shapes and sizes – from tiny Yorkshire terriers to gentle giants like a St Bernard–Newfoundland cross. I also have experience with rescue dogs and pups with behaviour challenges, and I’ve trained my mum’s service dogs, which has taught me patience, consistency, and how to help nervous dogs feel safe and happy. Services I offer: Looking after pets in your home 🏡 Dog walks, playtime & cuddles 🐕 Feeding & routine care 🐾 Safe transport in a fully insured car 🚗 I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they’re loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Having spent years in a different industry, I'm now embracing a long-held dream: working with dogs full time. Dog care has always been close to my heart and I'm excited to build a career which reflects what I love the most! When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritise maintaining their usual routines and environment to help them feel safe and relaxed. I begin by understanding the owner's instructions in detail—feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication, and any behavioural quirks or preferences. I always approach animals calmly and respectfully, allowing them to come to me in their own time, especially if they’re nervous or reactive. I ensure the home stays clean and secure, and I keep a close eye on the pet’s wellbeing—monitoring for any signs of stress, discomfort, or illness. I also provide regular updates to the owner, including photos and notes, so they feel reassured while they’re away. My goal is to offer the same level of care and attention the pet receives from their family, with plenty of affection, patience, and positive reinforcement.

“Fiona did an excellent job for us while we were away she kept us up to date each day & put our minds at rest. Highly recommended. Thanks Fiona ?”
