About: My name is Patka (short for Patricia), and animals have been woven into the fabric of my life since childhood. I grew up surrounded by the gentle giants of the dog world—Caucasian Shepherds—and the elegant companionship of Persian cats. When my family moved to the countryside, I discovered my calling: rescuing cats from the bushes and giving them the love they deserved. At one point, our home was a joyful chaos of 7 dogs and 5 cats, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. I've had the privilege of caring for breeds of all temperaments and sizes—from the powerful Cane Corso to the delicate Yorkshire Terrier, from playful Poodles and French Bulldogs to loyal Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs. When it comes to cats, I've loved them all—Siamese, Persian, Sphynx—though Maine Coons and Ragdolls hold a special place in my heart. Two years ago, I lost my soul dog, a Maltese rescue who taught me what unconditional love truly means. The ache of that loss reminds me every day how precious our time with our furry companions is, and it's made me even more devoted to ensuring every pet feels safe, loved, and cherished. Currently on sabbatical from my career in marketing and PR, I'm fully available to give your pets the attention they deserve. I'd love nothing more than to take your dogs on adventures through the neighborhood, engage your cats in playful sessions with their favorite toys, and shower them all with the affection and care they need while you're away. Your pets aren't just animals to me—they're family, and I'll treat them as such. Since I'm currently on sabbatical, pet care isn't something I'm trying to squeeze into my routine—it is my routine, and I love it that way. Without the constraints of a traditional work schedule, I have the flexibility to be there whenever your pets need me. My days revolve around the animals in my care. Morning walks when the world is still quiet, midday play sessions when energy is high, evening cuddles when it's time to wind down—I structure my time around what your pets need to thrive. If your dog loves an early morning jog or your cat prefers interactive play at sunset, I'm there for it. I'm also available for last-minute bookings, extended stays, or those times when life throws you a curveball and you need someone reliable on short notice. Whether you need daily visits, overnight care, or someone to simply be present throughout the day, I have the time and dedication to give your pets consistent, unhurried attention. Whether I'm caring for your pets in your home or welcoming them into mine, their safety and comfort are my absolute priorities. In Your Home: I understand that inviting someone into your space requires trust, and I don't take that lightly. I treat your home with the utmost respect—keeping it secure, maintaining your pet's established routines, and following your specific instructions to the letter. I'll send you regular photo and video updates so you can see your furry family members thriving while you're away. Your pets stay in their familiar environment where they feel most secure, surrounded by their own toys, beds, and the comforting scents of home. In My Home: Currently without pets of my own, I can offer your animals my undivided attention in a calm, pet-friendly environment. My space is safe, clean, and adaptable to your pet's needs—whether that means creating cozy nooks for a shy cat or ensuring a secure area for an energetic dog. I maintain the same routines your pets are used to, so the transition feels as seamless as possible. Above all, I believe in transparency and communication. I'm always reachable, and I'll keep you informed about how your pets are doing.
About: I hold qualifications in Animal Care and Equine Management and am currently studying Animal Sciences, with specialist areas including Animal Behaviour (Ethology), Animal Welfare, Ecology, Conservation, and Biological Sciences. This gives me a strong scientific understanding of animal health, behaviour, nutrition, welfare, and husbandry across a wide range of species. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and friends, family, and clients have regularly trusted me to care for their pets, offer advice, and support them with everything from feeding and exercise routines to behavioural concerns and general wellbeing. I am experienced and confident in administering medications, including: * Tablets and capsules * Liquid medications * Eye and ear drops * Topical treatments * Injectable medications, including insulin for diabetic pets * Long-term medication management for chronic conditions My education has given me a strong understanding of recognising early signs of illness and injury. I am trained to monitor for common health concerns such as: * Urinary issues in cats (including signs of urinary blockages, cystitis, and FLUTD) * Diabetes * Arthritis and mobility concerns * Digestive issues * Skin conditions and allergies * Respiratory illnesses * Parasites and infectious diseases * Signs of pain, stress, or behavioural changes that may indicate an underlying health problem I am also knowledgeable about common household, garden, and food-related toxins that can be dangerous to dogs and cats, including poisonous plants, foods, medications, and environmental hazards. Pet first aid and welfare are extremely important to me. I am comfortable monitoring and caring for pets recovering from minor injuries or procedures, including changing dressings as instructed by a veterinarian, cleaning minor wounds, monitoring healing, and ensuring medication schedules are followed correctly. For dogs who enjoy adventures, I am happy to accompany them to grooming appointments, veterinary appointments, or other outings if requested. I also don’t mind muddy paws, wet coats, or dirty cars—if your dog enjoys getting messy, I’m more than happy to hose them off after a walk before bringing them home. For safety, I simply ask that owners provide an appropriate crate, seatbelt attachment, or travel harness for any car journeys. Whether your pet is energetic, elderly, anxious, requires medication, or simply enjoys plenty of love and attention, I strive to provide care that is knowledgeable, compassionate, and tailored to their individual needs. 🐶🐱🐰🐴 Your pet’s welfare, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority. Pet care is never rushed—I make sure each visit includes not only feeding and essential care but also quality time tailored to your cat’s personality, whether that’s playtime, enrichment, grooming, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship. I am available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can accommodate multiple visits per day where required. I am also happy to provide updates, photos, and videos during each visit, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. For pets requiring medication, special diets, recovery care, or extra monitoring, I can schedule visits around their specific needs to ensure routines remain as consistent as possible. 🐾 Safety, Trust & Environment I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home. I always strive to provide a calm, reliable, and stress-free experience for both pets and owners, ensuring routines are maintained as closely as possible while you’re away. Every animal is treated as an individual. I take the time to learn their likes, dislikes, routines, and quirks, allowing them to feel comfortable and secure in my care. Whether your pet enjoys playtime and attention or prefers quiet company and personal space, I adapt my approach to suit them. Cleanliness and security are extremely important to me. Food and water areas are kept tidy, litter trays are maintained to a high standard, and I always ensure doors, windows, and access points are secure before leaving your home. Communication is a big part of the service I provide. I know how reassuring it is to know your pet is happy and settled, so I’m always happy to send regular updates, photos, and videos throughout my visits. My aim is simple: for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, and for you to have complete peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Hey there! I’m Sinem. For the past nine years, Barney, my beloved companion, has been at the center of my world. Also, growing up, I was fortunate enough to share my home with both cats and dogs. Barney isn't your typical easygoing dog; he's got his own personality and quirks, which have taught me patience, resilience :) He is neutered and love playing with small-mid size dogs! Navigating life with Barney has given me a wealth of experience in understanding and caring for pets . Now, I'm excited to share my expertise and affection with your furry family members. Whether it's a playful romp in the park, a cozy snuggle session on the couch, rest assured, your pets will be treated with the same love and care as my own. I am currently at home full-time, live with my husband Sahincan. He is working full time but he supports me during his free times. We have a big park next to our home, generally we are spending our days at the park with Barney. We have a small fenced garden that is safe for your pet, and pets are allowed on the sofa and bed in our home. Please let us know your dog’s daily routine so that he/she can feel at home and adapt easily.
About: I'm a 29-year-old woman who currently works as a street performer which gives me excellent flexibility when it comes to giving your dogs their much-needed energy release. I have a huge love for dogs due to me having lived with four dogs for over a year and I have a particular soft spot for french bulldogs. (I mean, who doesn't?) Big or small I will walk your pooch until they are tired enough to give the ground a smooch! I have volunteered at my Grandmother's animal shelter in New Zealand years ago so I am sufficient in caring for animals, even when there are a lot of them. I go to the gym almost daily so I am physically fit to walk any animal big or small, young or old. I also have volunteered with helping charities raise money and I've used my many artistic skills to help do this. I am perfectly happy to pop into your home and feed the dog(s) before or after the walk if that is required of me, or I can stay overnight at your home to give your pet some extra company for a charge of £25 per night. I hope you find me a good candidate for walking for your furry friend(s)! Hope to hear from you soon! Ellena Mackay. I am self employed and have pet sitting as my main form of income as I squeeze busking and gig work around it. I walk and take public transport so as long as you are nearby I am happy to take care of your pets! I will not be dog boarding as I live in a rental, I will follow any instructions for pet care in their own home where they will be the most comfortable.
“Kristine has started walking my very excitable, boisterous staffy. And he adores her! She is brilliant at communication, reliable and took great care of Doug. I would absolutely always trust her with him.”
“Tarrah has met the boys a few times now and they have really taken to her and settled with her. She is great with both their different needs, one old and one with lots of energy”
About: I’ve always had pets in my family since I was little. When I turned 18 I got my own cat and I’ve had her for 10 years now. I started helping out my friend who owns a dog boarders 3 years ago and instantly fell In love with dogs. I’ve helped her whenever I could ever since but I thought I would try my own dog walking business now as I can work around my own schedule. I’m currently only working part time as I have returned to university as a mature student. I won’t have any university over the summer and I’m hoping this will become my part time job so I can focus on it too. I will provide water bottles for dogs for walks and treats. I will not walk them in the hottest part of the day but I’m happy to drop in if the dog owners would like me to visit whilst they are at work. I live near fields so can easily take them away from traffic and in shade.
“My Molly loved her walk with Morag, Molly is very lively and excitable and Morag seemed to calm her completely. I felt reassured that Morag genuinely also enjoyed Molly's company. Would highly recommend Morag to others looking for really good dog care.”
“Dev was brilliant with my dog Millie , she looked after Millie for a week and kept us updated each day sending us pictures of Millie. I will definitely recommend Dev and I will definitely use her in the future. Dev kept our home very clean aswell ..”

About: I have had 3 boxer dogs, all in which towards their old age I took great care of them including medication. I now have a cocker spaniel who has an ear problem so I am used to having to put medicated cream in his ears. I have also for the past year looked after a Jack Russel and a German shepherd. For these dogs I have house sat so I have done all the feeding and walking etc. I have also had experience cat sitting on 2 different occasions, so this opened me up to how to deal with litter trays, different dietary requirements and medication. These experiences have enabled me with many different opportunities to look after dogs and cats of all sizes! I am a qualified supply teacher in primary schools, which means I have a very flexible schedule and also a lot of free time during half terms! Living in Chester means I have easy access to many different bus/train routes so I am very easy accessible. I have experience with all different breeds and ages so I am happy to be looking after animals who need medication, I can also safely put the dogs in their crate, also senior dogs if there is special needs that they need such as aid getting onto their bed. I have house sat on many occasions and never had any problems I always keep in contact with the Owner, happy to send lots of pictures so they are kept updated and if keys are involved always made sure I follow the owners instructions!
About: I have grown up with cats and dogs and I currently have two maincoons Minnie and buzz, they are mum and son. I run my own cleaning business and I also look after my clients furbabies when they are away or working long shifts, I have built up a good relationship with both clients and their pets. Because I run my own business I am able to work my schedule around any pets I need to care for which makes it flexible. As my job already requires high levels of trust I have keys for my clients homes so I am able to tend to their pets.

Dog owners share their Rover experiences - Chester
Caitlin was invaluable with our cockapoo puppy. From about three months old, she visited her daily. Her patience and caring nature meant that, over time, our pup went from fearful to calm and playful. Caitlin’s fantastic care was a huge part of this and we will always be grateful to her for the fantastic job she did. It was a huge relief to know that our puppy was in such good, trustworthy hands. I’d highly recommended Caitlin to anyone!
Evie has just recently started walking the boys and they love her, she is calm and reassuring for both us and the dogs. She isn't phased by having one older dog and one bundle of energy and they have responded to her amazingly on and off the lead. We are so pleased we have found her

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poo and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Chester.
