Very pleased with Demmi’s care and communication. We were apprehensive about having someone to look after our large Vizsla as they are high energy dogs but she did a fantastic job. Will be using her in future!

About: Born into a family where there was always a dog and a cat, many other animals came and went along the way! This was replicated when bringing up my own family. I have many years of experience caring for different animals with different needs and temperaments! Now semiretired, I have a background in healthcare, and am a practical person. I am now able to do my dream job of pet sitting and dog walking, having the necessary experience and practical attributes for the task. Always reliable, professional and discreet, I offer a service which is tailored to individual needs. Caring for pets is my full time job, so I would have time care for your pet at anytime. I have a very flexible lifestyle, so am happy to fit in with people as to their individual requirements. I offer an individual service based on people’s requirements. Respect for the owners wishes in caring for their pet would be adhered to at all times. All instructions would be followed. Working in someone else’s home means that trust is paramount. Discretion and confidentiality would be adhered to. On top of this, I am DBS checked to reassure customers of my honesty and integrity.

I couldn’t recommend Stephen enough! Right from the get go he was so wonderful with my border collie August when we had our initial meet and greet. You can tell he has a genuine passion for dogs which translates to being a skilled handler. I always know August is in safe hands with Stephen, as well as having plenty of fun too!

About: My family have taken care of friends pets for years when I was younger. I loved animals as a kid and wanted to own a Kennel to help pets and owners out! I also used to have 5 cats at one point :) I am a University student so my schedule can be quite flexible, I’m not in university for most of the week with having 4 out of the 7 days a week off most of the time! I can’t have pets at my home as it’s a university house, however I am more than willing to do whatever the owner requires when I do home visits to make the owner and pet as comfortable as possible.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From a young age I was trusted — and even paid — to look after other people’s dogs, which taught me responsibility early on. I’ve also volunteered in dog kennels, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments. I’m currently studying animal behaviour and hope to work with the RSPCA in the future, supporting vulnerable dogs. I’m doing this not just because I love animals, but to gain even more experience so I can give every dog the understanding and care they deserve. As a university student, my schedule is very flexible, which means I can easily fit in walks and pet care around my studies. I work most weeknights from 5–8pm and occasionally on weekends, but outside of those hours I’m generally available for daytime walks, drop-ins, and cuddles. I’m reliable, organised, and always happy to work around your dog’s routine to make sure they get the care and attention they need. When looking after pets in someone else’s home, I always make sure to follow their routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I take time to understand each pet’s needs, from feeding and walking schedules to any quirks or comforts they rely on. I keep the home tidy, respect your space, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and reassurance. My goal is to make their time without you feel relaxed and familiar, while keeping you updated so you know they’re happy and well cared for.

About: Recently relocated to Chester! I've been working with animals for 8 years at first opinion practices as well as specialist referral. I have dog sat for friends (and vet surgeon colleagues!) whilst they are on holiday, and nothing is more important than ensuring the trust that you are given when you are asked to look after their pets. I make sure to treat them as my own. Any rules you have in your home regarding your pet I will continue to enforce in your absence. Your pet's safety and care will always be my top priority. I do work full time, but I am free weekends and most bank holidays with appropriate notice. On Fridays I am available from 5pm if weekend care is needed. I will be sure to implement any rules you have in your home while you are away and will always send picture updates so you can be sure your pet is safe and happy.

About: Growing up, I have always been around pets and taken care of them for family members, friends, and neighbours. I have a love for any range of animals, especially from having a dog and cat myself. I am flexible with any Rover needs, just at least a few days notice is required, and your pet will be happy being walked or looked after by me! I am currently a student at the University of Chester, which is very close to my house, and I only tend to have one or two classes a day so I am available the majority of the days to look after pets. I am happy to go on constant walks and to play with the pets. am also happy to go to someone else’s house to look after their dog or cat, as well as check-ins.

About: I have cared for family and friends pets in particular dogs and cats throughout my whole life and secured a job as a dog groomer aged 14. I have cared for puppies and senior dogs and have assisted in training and giving medication. I have been consistent in walking dogs for family and friends too. I am currently a teacher so I am able to drop in mornings and evenings throughout the week and can spend more time with your pets during the evening. On Mondays I have more time around lunch time and can offer 30 minute walks. I can also offer walks during the evening. Weekends I am able to be more flexible and can offer longer walks. I will care for your pet at your home as I live in a flat. If I need to drive I will need somewhere to park. I can take dogs out in my car for walks if needed.

About: I've had a dog for 4 years now. I've also taken care of a lot of street dogs, taken them to vets, cleaned their wounds but I'm not qualified for any medical procedure without instructions. I've walked and sat dogs for friends as well. I know how to physically and mentally stimulate a dog if required. My own doggo is back home and I would love to shower yours with all my love and care. I'm currently a full time international post graduate student and free on most weekends and evenings most weekdays. I go on walks myself a lot and would love to have the company of your doggo while I do so. We could just hangout all day playing and taking naps which fits right in with my routine as well! I naturally make sure there's nothing hazardous around your doggos vicinity at all times. I make sure to not leave around any stuff that could be mine as well. I hope to have a meet with the doggo before the family decides if I'm a good fit just so everyone's comfortable and better adjusted. Also any details that is relevant to your doggo - all their quirks and uniqueness is something I'd like to know about beforehand in order to have a smooth service.

About: My name is Patka (short for Patricia), and animals have been woven into the fabric of my life since childhood. I grew up in Prague 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’ve been and animal lover my entire life to the point I’ve grown put to study zoology in order to dedicate my life to them. I’ve owned cats and dogs most of my life and have been dog sitting and dog walking for many years before getting a dog of my own. I’ve looked after big, small, aggressive and friendly dogs I’ve pretty much seen it all. I’m not easily freaked out and have cleaned some of the most horrific messes whatever the worst is you’ve seen I’ve seen it too. I am patient and am dedicated to getting to know your pet personally to meet there specific needs I’m a uni student so my schedule does differ week to week but even days I am in lectures they usually only last a few hours normally around midday. At the moment I’m free 4/5 days a week depending on the week but at happy to care for your pet before or after my lectures I believe that trust with animals is built on their own terms so I believe in the animal approaching you when they are ready, by caring for you pet in a familiar environment it gives them a chance to be in control of how we get introduced without the excitement or pressure of a new environment. I understand everyone has different boundaries with there pets in their own home and I am dedicated to maintaining your house rules and routines for your pet while caring for them in the best way possible

Ginge here, my humans decided to once again abandon me at short notice. Fortunately Eleanor came to my rescue. Despite my gratitude I could not show this to her initially until I sampled her service. I was highly satisfied with her day service so I allowed her to stroke me which was somewhat pleasurable. So to my feline friends I would highly recommend Eleanor to meet your fussy pussy needs should your humans adandon you in the future. With feline regards ginge....I may have put on a pound or two! 😻
