Find us on Facebook 🐾 Pet care is a natural and important part of my daily and weekly routine, and I make sure I dedicate the time needed to give every pet the attention they deserve. I carefully plan my schedule to ensure all visits and boarding commitments are carried out reliably and without feeling rushed. For cat pop-in visits, I offer flexible morning, afternoon, and evening slots. Each visit includes essentials like feeding, fresh water, litter cleaning, and a check on your cat’s wellbeing, along with plenty of affection, playtime, or quiet companionship depending on their personality. Alongside this, dog boarding is fully integrated into my routine at home. Dogs in my care are treated like part of the family, with regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. I ensure they have a safe, comfortable, and calm environment where they can settle in and feel at home. Pet care is never something I rush or fit in around other priorities—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take pride in. Whether I’m visiting your cat or welcoming your dog into my home, I am committed to being dependable, attentive, and providing the same level of care I would give my own pets. Safety, trust, and a calm environment are at the heart of the care I provide. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in safe, reliable hands, and I take that responsibility seriously with every visit and boarding. For added reassurance, I am fully insured and DBS checked. For cat pop-in visits, I ensure your home is kept secure at all times, following any instructions you provide and maintaining your cat’s usual routine to minimise stress. I always carry out careful checks to make sure your cat is safe, comfortable, and well, and I will keep you updated for complete peace of mind. When it comes to dog boarding, my home offers a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where dogs can relax and feel part of the family. I take time to understand each dog’s routine, behaviour, and needs, ensuring they are supervised, exercised appropriately, and given plenty of affection in a calm, structured setting. Building trust with both pets and their owners is incredibly important to me. I am attentive, respectful, and committed to creating a secure, loving environment where every pet feels comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away.

“I couldn't be happier with the care Buddy received while he was with Leah, he is an older dog so I'm nervous to leave him but she showed so much love and patience with him. He had the best time, loads of walks and affection and I wouldn't hesitate to have him stay with her again. Thank you Leah!”

About: I’ve been a pet sitter all over the world and have cared for all kinds of animals, from goats and budgies to Great Danes. I’m experienced with reactive dogs, larger breeds, and pets with different personalities and needs, although most of my experience is with cats and dogs. I truly love all animals, and nothing makes me happier than a home full of fur family. Since I don’t have pets of my own at the moment, I feel very lucky to be able to give all that love and care to yours. I’m currently studying from home, so pet care fits in very naturally with my daily routine. I love getting out for walks in the morning, afternoon, and evening, which means pets in my care get plenty of attention, exercise, and company throughout the day. My afternoon walk is usually at least two hours, while morning walks tend to be around 30 to 60 minutes, so I’m well set up for dogs who enjoy regular outdoor time I always aim to make pets feel safe, settled, and loved, whether they are in my home or their own. I take time to understand each pet’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, medication, sleeping arrangements, and any behavioural needs, so I can keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I’m very mindful of safety on walks and in the home, especially with reactive dogs or larger breeds, and I always make sure pets are secure, comfortable, and well supervised. In a pet owner’s home, I treat both the space and the animals with great respect, keeping everything clean, calm, and consistent. My goal is always to give pets plenty of attention, affection, and reassurance so they feel happy and cared for while you’re away.

“Vicky was the best doggy friend for our french bulldog, he had the best time ever, and Vicky was so flexible and we were late back to pick him up and Vicky very kindly was so kind. We would 100% recommend.”

About: I have taken care of many of my friends dogs whilst they go on holiday(s) over the last 5 years. This has included two beautiful, high energy spaniels and older Dachshunds. I work from home and have a spaniel myself so I’m constantly out and about making sure they have the best day. I wake up around 5.45 on week days and take George (my spaniel) on a nice 5k walk along the canal. I work from home so will get my morning meetings out of the way, let George out in the back yard in between. I usually walk to the local park at lunch which is around 2.5k round trip. And after work, depending on what I have planned we usually are out and about places. Quick walk around the block just before we go to bed. I have a fenced yard. Plenty of room in the kitchen to keep a cage. A ring camera that overlooks into the kitchen for if I need to nip out to the shops. And George is the most loving companion, he has been so socialised since I’ve had him that he loves having other dogs over for sleepovers.

About: I have a 5yo bully mix called Lennie who is my best friend. Having Lennie has allowed me to explore the world of dogs and their needs. Lennie is very experienced in having other dogs in our home regularly, and excels particularly well with puppies as he is very patient, tolerant and likes to play gently. We have raised a little of 5 cocker spaniels and also have a 3 month old lurcher puppy who will reside in kennels as a working dog. Lennie has been pivotal in these pups becoming confident around large breeds, and all 5 of our puppies new owners have commended us on our rearing of them and how confident and well rounded they now are at 6 months old. I have poured a lot of time and money into researching how to keep my dog well stimulated, both physically and mentally and find great pleasure in learning how to keep him happy and healthy. I have joined Rover to look for dog friends that would enjoy our daily countryside walks with us, whilst enabling us to support those who may not always have to time to provide such exercise! I know many amazing walks around my area, you can rest assured that your dog will be well exercised and mentally stimulated when they return to you. I am also available for overnight boarding, you can be safe in the knowledge that your dog is in a loving home away from home environment with lots of cuddles, mental stimulation, and around other dogs for company. I work from home 3 days a week so am able to provide regular interaction and exercise with the dogs. Getting out on a walk is the perfect way for me to break up my day at home. I can provide 1:1 walks if necessary in instances where your dog is reactive, I have expedience with this so you can be confident that I your pup will be well managed. However, if your dog is comfortable with other dogs I would also bring my own along too. Dogs in my care can expect lots of attention and love, whilst also prioritising their own needs and wants. I appreciate all dogs have completely different personalities and would tailor my care to each individual. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and wherever they please in the house. Both my front and back gardens are completely secure and away from public access with good space to roam around, play and relax if the weather permits.

“Rosie is great. I used her services twice and I was very happy with the communication and updates/pictures/videos. She is very caring, gentle and kind. Benny is having a great time at her house while playing with Poppy. I would definitely recommend.”

About: I’ve been in love with animals since I was little, I’ve studied animal behaviour and biology for three+ years at university and did and animal management course in college. I myself have three kitties who are my life, now I moved to university I don’t get to see them as much so I’m wanting to fill that void and look after/walk other peoples babies. I’ve walked dogs throughout my childhood and into being an young adult due to so much work experience with college and university, I think my experience will keep your mind at ease because I have a log of experience with dogs. Right now I’m part time working, I have specific days off which are Tuesday and Wednesdays. When I am working I had 4-5 hour shifts so can fit around that. My shifts are done couple weeks in advance so I can schedule in advance if needs be If it is for a couple hours board I have space for a crate if needed, I do live in an apartment and would only be able to take on small dogs but I have near a lot of fields and walking paths I will be able to take the dog out as frequently as you would like. Walking wise I love walking myself so your pup will get the exercise it needs whilst you are away

About: Always had a dog in my life. Whether that be my own or other people's. Since a young age, I have looked after dogs of all kinds. At age 10 I started walking neighbours dogs. At age 12 I helped bring up a litter of pups and watched the mummy give birth. At age 15 I got my own puppy he was a cross breed and he was a very reactive dog but I trained him to be a good boy. At age 17 to 19 I rescued a female staffy and an American bulldog from the kennels. Had a break and then bought my simba when he was 8 weeks old he is friendly and well behaved and he's the best company. I tell him all my secrets and he has never spoke a word 😂. I've no commitments other than the school run and a typical day with simba is breakfast then a nice long walk in the fields. Lots of playing fetch and exploring. Simba then likes to have a nap. He wakes up has his dinner then wants to play catch or fetch. We spend lot of time in the garden if the weather's OK. When the kids come home simba likes to play with them he enjoys ripping up paper and plastic wrappers just making a mess really 😂 it's all good aslong as he's happy and id treat your dog as if it's my own ☺️ they are in safe hands. We then go on another walk to the park after tea then we come home and get cosy. The garden is fenced. Simba can also keep your dogs company. The children are gentle and love dogs. Please don't ask me to look after your dog if it is NOT OK left alone as I will have to be out on the school run during the week twice a day. I'll never leave dogs in the same room alone. We as a family look forward to meeting your fur babies.

About: I’ve been surrounded with dogs my whole life from looking after my grandparents dogs from very young. To getting our own family dog and training him as puppy to taking care of him in his later stages of life. We have a large enclosed gardens which is ideal for playing with dogs. I also been dogging sitting the past year in America, welcoming all shapes and sizes which I’ve throughly enjoyed ! It fits perfectly into my routine, I’m extremely flexible and can work around each individual dog’s needs. Giving them plenty of love, attention and walks. I have a big fenced garden which is great for dogs to run around and play in. Our home has always been dog friendly, which we can tailor to the needs of each individual dog.

“Samantha's partner Max looked after Bobby. It was a meet and greet for everyone so we could use Samantha and Max again, I felt happy leaving Bobby there and both dogs seemed to be happy with each other. I will definitely leave Bobby again.”

About: Hi! I’m Shannon, I’m from Virginia but moved over here 7 years ago. I have been a dog owner for the past 20 years and currently have a jack x dachshund named Norman who also loves to make friends, play and go on long walks. I am experienced in caring for all ages of dogs, administering medication, and adhering to specific dietary needs. In my house, dogs are family and can snuggle on the couch or play in the fenced in garden. Your dog would be in safe and happy hands with us :) I work from home so am always available for drop in visits and walks. Your dog will not be left alone, as there will always be someone here (me or my husband) to ensure your dog is cared for :) I have a cheeky jack x dachshund named Norman who is super friendly. We have a fenced in garden to play in. We want your dog to feel as comfortable as possible so we allow dogs on the bed and sofa for snuggles. We love to explore new areas and go on long walks. I am currently on maternity leave until September, which I will then be working from home so am able to take the dogs out for lunch time walkies and evening. I treat dogs as if they are my own, they become family! We have lots of snuggles and playing. We enjoy taking the dogs on walkies and exploring new places.
