About: I love pets and had my first cat when I was in university. Now I have one dog and three cats in China. Really enjoy outdoor activities with them. Sometimes in the weekend I often go hiking with my puppy. And i help my friends feed or foster their pets at home when they're inconvenient. I’m working part time job, still a student but not too many lessons, I have many free time every week except Monday. Really wish could have an outdoor walk with lovely pet. My puppy is a Border Collie, has so many energy and seldom feel tired, and I walk my dog twice a day. Always looking for empty lawns so he can run wild, very happy to see him running so happy

Benjamin is truly a pet loving person whose calm and patient nature goes a long way when looking after a beloved pet. Benjamin has looked after our dog Widget in the past , who was quite a large Mastiff cross and a very nervous girl, however, Benjamin had an amazing way with her and I knew she was in good hands. Benjamin made the whole process of organising the dog sitting easy with communication throughout . Benjamin is very trustworthy and responsible and I have absolutely no reservations at all about recommending him to care for anyone's pet, and I will certainly use his services again in the future.

About: Since before I could remember, I have loved both dogs and cats. At home, I've had three dogs, all three were different sizes, breeds and attitudes! Before joining Rover, I loved playing with and walking my friends and neighbours pets. I can assure you that while you are out, your pet will be getting all of the attention and care that they deserve I'm currently finishing my last year at high school so I can do most weekday nights and sometimes during the day too (if I don't have any exams) I make sure that whenever I am looking after a pet I am with them in the room so I can make sure that they are feeling happy. When walking a dog, my attention is solely focused on them, whether they are on the lead or running after a tennis ball!

About: I have taken care of my own two dogs for the past 10 years but have grew up around family members dogs my entire life. Family members and friends actively rely on me to dog sit for their furry friends, so I am very reliable and experienced. I am very active, meaning your dog can choose to have a simple brisk walk or whether they want to become a mountaineer and combat Snowden, I will meet their needs! I am also an avid cuddler so enjoy spoiling them with love! I’m currently at university so I have plenty of free time. I’m an early riser so will happily take them for a morning walk, an afternoon walk or an evening. I’m also available on weekends. I am very caring towards dogs, and will cater to the individual dogs needs, especially in their own personal space! I can follow instructions on food timings and any additional needs.

About: I'm a PhD student in the Durham University. Holding a COSCA certificate in Counseling & Psychotherapy in Scotland, I am also a Level 2 basketball athlete in China.
Throughout my counseling journey, I've come to understand the therapeutic significance of pets, particularly dogs and cats. I'm known for my compassion, patience, and gentle nature. As a Sagittarius, I'm enthusiastic and sincere. In my home China , I have a British Shorthair cat for over two years, starting when he was just three months old. I trained him to use cat litter and created a conducive environment for him.
Back in December 2023, I had the wonderful opportunity to look after various dogs through Pawshake. I’m grateful for everyone who trusted me with their pets. At that time, I was living in Edinburgh, and I took the dogs to places like Princes Street Gardens and Arthur's Seat. I fell in love with the dog-friendly atmosphere in the UK, which has only grown since I adopted my own dog—a sweet, one-year-old Cavapoo girl—in February this year. She truly is an angel, with a gentle nature and a special fondness for elderly people, children, and other dogs. She’s always eager to make new friends, and having a doggie buddy for a night would absolutely make her day!

As for my home setup, I live in a detached house with a fenced garden where my dog loves to explore. Just 50 meters from our front door, there’s a large grassy area and a nature reserve, perfect for dog walks and surrounded by other dog-loving neighbors. It’s a peaceful community, clean, with very few cars, and away from the hustle and bustle of the city center. I love taking my dog on forest walks in this pristine setting.

Currently, I work from home focusing on reading and writing, so I have plenty of time to care for your dog. Please feel free to reach out—I’d be thrilled to introduce my little one to new friends!
Feel free to reach out for further inquiries. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your dog, contributing to my experience of dog ownership in the UK.

Lily will often look after my cocker spaniel whilst I am away on holiday or busy with work. Lily is reliable, punctual, trustworthy and there is nobody I would trust more with my dog. Eliza (my dog) is always so excited to see Lily and often spends the first 5 minutes doing zoomies, which tells you everything you need to know. If you are looking for someone friendly with excellent communication and an overall a delight then I strongly recommend Lily.
