About: I’ve loved helping take care of my family rescue dogs my whole life, so I have experience with shy and scared dogs/puppies. I have been walking them on my own since I was 10, and I also have some experience pet sitting, including puppies. I’m currently studying at university so I have quite a flexible schedule! I have short lectures everyday and some days I play sport, however I have lots of free time where I usually go for walks. I would be unable to care for a pet in my accommodation currently because I am a student, however, I have experience pet sitting in other homes if that is required.

About: I have taken care of cars of every kind for 2years. Experienced with petting, feeding, playing and medication. I will take care your cat very well. My cat will be isolated upstairs so don’t worry about two cats fighting 😂 I currently have a full time work. So I’ll be available before 9am and after 5pm. So don’t hesitate to book 2 visit a day! I usually will play with the cat first so they will be friendly and familiar with me. Then I’ll feed the cat and stroke the cat Hi I'm currently WFH all week, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your cats! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays I have a fenced yard and if you are fine, the cat can have some fresh air in the garden with me watching 👀. Also, my cat will be isolated upstairs so don’t worry about two cats fighting 😂

About: I'm a lifelong pet owner, including horses, cats and - most notably - dogs. I've raised and cared for three dogs from puppies through to old age, plus adopting one rescue dog. These have been Alsatians, Welsh Collies and (we think!) some kind of Whippet/ Saluki cross. I've also got plenty of experience with a range of other breeds through friends and family. I understand that the most important thing for your own and your pet's happiness is to support your care and training approach, and am committed to working with you to keep everyone's tails wagging! I work flexibly from home, so can generally be very flexible in terms of availability. The only day with limited availability is a Sunday, due to family commitments, but otherwise can work around your schedule. Within your home, I would look to maintain a normal routine as much as possible to minimise any impact on your dog. I am happy to dispense medication, as well as feed, entertain and walk. I can also water plants and provide basic care for other pets if required. I understand and respect that this is your home, and would look to return it to you in the same condition it was in at the beginning of the visit.

About: I am the pet parent of two large rescue dogs that are now getting on in years - but I’ve seen it all! I’ve been a regular dog walker for neighbours, so I’m familiar with all ages from puppy through to senior, and all personalities including high-energy breeds, reactive dogs, and those that pull. I know great local routes for doggie adventures tailored to your pet’s needs. I work from home on a flexible schedule, and am always interested in an opportunity for a brisk walk or a home visit with a furry friend. I'm often available for last minute bookings. Each dog has unique needs, and I am careful to follow any instructions specific to your pet, including reinforcing your training routines. I prioritize your pet’s safety, having completed a dog emergency first aid course. When doing house visits I will ensure your home remains secure and clean while providing personalized care to keep your pet comfortable and happy.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life, I know how to take care of them and give them the love and affection they need. I miss my own dogs with all my heart now that I am away from home, which is my I think rover is the perfect thing for me. I love spending time with dogs✨ I have class 2 times a week on Tuesday and Thursday, but I am free on currently on holiday so I have plenty of time to take care of dogs and have fun with them ! I have grown up with dogs all my life and from a very early age I knew, when to feed them, how to give them a bath, how to give them their medicine (if needed) and I was always out and about to play with them. I know how to walk a dog since I have been walking my own on the beach since young. I am a great fast learner in case any owners need anything specific for their dogs.

About: I got my first pup, Toby, when I was around 12 years old and quickly fell in love with him. He’s a teacup yorkie, so so tiny but a dog with the biggest heart ever! He’s my dog so I had the responsibility of walking him everyday, making sure he’s fed every morning and given an overload of pets and love. When my grandfather passed away in 2021, my family decided to take in his sweet boy, Rosco, a big husky-german shepherd mix. Even though he was five times larger than Toby, caring for him came naturally and he and Toby were practically brothers within an instant. Sadly Ross recently passed away from doggie cancer :( Although he’s gone, his heart will always remain with me. I wake up pretty early so I’m always up in time to feed my dogs on time. I’m also very active so I like to go on walks in general so having them with me makes it a bit more fun. I am a full time student living abroad so my time with my pets has been limited to the summer and christmas holidays but when I’m home I spend 24/7 with them. I take them for drives, to parks, or even just to run errands with me. They’re never alone for long amounts of time when I’m back in my hometown. My backyard is fenced off so dogs can’t escape onto the main road. I also don’t like to leave dogs unattended for great amounts of time just because I don’t want them to feel forgotten and also just to keep a close eye on them so they don’t get up to mischief.
