About: I am a dedicated cat fosterer and sitter, passionate about providing the best care for animals. You can visit my Instagram account, "jollycatworkshop", to see the pets I have cared for. If necessary, I am happy to arrange a visit beforehand. I will drive if your home is a bit far from mine. If your location does not have a parking lot, kindly let me know in advance. I work from home, so my schedule is quite flexible. I am available on weekdays, weekends, and public holidays. Please provide at least three days' notice, and I will adjust my schedule to accommodate you. I live in a house with a fenced garden, and my home is smoke-free. I can visit your home once or twice a day as needed. If necessary, I am happy to arrange a visit beforehand.
“Brilliant service from communication, pre visit all the way to walking our beloved pet!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my family my whole life. Latest addition over lockdown was sweet and very naughty collie pup Miffy in my photo. I’ve baby sat a lot of dogs on other apps, from pups to oldies, but I’ve heard great things about rover. I can do long, active walks, play rough or cwtch up with a pup to watch tv. Any energy level is good with me! Any time - Me and my partner are working from home during the week and at least one of us is in over the weekends. Can take dogs for several nights if needed. We have a one bed flat with an open plan kitchen living room, with a roof terrace with real grass and short walk from lovely park hill. I am not working at the moment so I am available most of the time, let me know when is good for you and we can arrange something that suits! We have no pets or children so no risk to your pets. We don’t have a garden but we are located close to the lovely park hill park.

About: I have experience in taking care of dogs, cats and other pets. I was a pet sitter when I lived and studied in China and it was definitely my favourite job. I’m currently working part time remotely and have lots of free time. Weekdays and weekends- we can always discuss it. I’m also available at nights. Unfortunately I can’t take your pet to my place but would happily go to your place and spend time, stay a night or more, take your friend for a walk etc.

About: I had a senior dog until his last days. I lived with a friends 2 yr old American Bully for about 6 months and have had him stay over occasionally. Sadly he’s now passed :( I grew up with cats. I love dog walking and being outside with nature. I have a car with seat covers so taking them around is no problem. .I work from home a few days a week. I can turn this into a full week or two of pet care is needed I have lots of spare time and a park next door to where I live for on the leash walks. I am mobile for visits or to walk dogs in their favourite places. If off the leash exercise is required for dogs I can take them to their preferred area or book a private field is a time slot is available (£10 ph). I like pet owners to give me full instructions by note or message, as to how they want their pet cared for, so that I know I am doing what is required and that the pet is happy. I’m very health, safety and cleanliness conscious. I can do light cleaning such as hoovering and plant watering if you are away or need it included in the service. Your pets safety & wellbeing is my greatest concern.

About: I am an enthusiastic dog lover and have had great experiences looking after dogs within my extended family and would love to be able to do that around the local neighbourhood. I have regularly looked after family dogs, taking them for walks, feeding, playing with them and keeping them company whilst their owners are out. I live with my partner who is also a dog lover and dog owner of 7+ years, who regularly helps out. I am an active person and and go for daily walks/runs. If you entrust your dog to me, I am certain they will have fun, be safe and receive a lot of love. I am very close to a parks and work from home most days, with free evenings and weekends. If you have any specific/extra requirement I am very flexible and will be more than happy to do what I can. At weekends I am free most of the day. I would usually be around the house doing chores and exercising and will have plenty of time to feed, play, walk your dog. During the week I work from home most days, with occasional days where I cannot be at home. This is indicated in my availability. When I am working at home I can keep an eye on your pet throughout the day and can do walks, play and have food/water prepared/topped up during the mornings (7:30-9:00), lunch (12:00-13:00) and after work (after 17:30). I have a large sitting/dinning area with plenty of floor space for pets. I live on the second floor so don't have a garden, but do have lots of parks nearby. I try to create a cosy, welcoming environment with comfortable areas and whether it's games, toys, or simple relaxation, I ensure that they are engaged and happy throughout the day. I am more than happy to give regular updates on pets' activities and well-being.
“My dog always gets excited when Joe comes over to walk or care for her. She has quite severe separation anxiety, but Joe has been very understanding of this and listens to and acts on any advice I give him about what my dog Teddy likes, and doesn’t like.”
About: I’ve owned dogs for almost my entire life. I’ve had small dogs and big dogs. Unfortunately my beautiful Bernese mountain dog passed away early October, so currently I don’t own a pet of my own. I have experience working in a day care centre for dogs. My duties involved picking the beautiful pets up from their homes and driving them to the day care centre where I would play with them in the garden with toys and interact with them using multiple mind games, taking them for walks, using discipline only when needed, feeding and grooming them. You can always guarantee your dog will be in good company with me. I am currently working part time but on my days off I have all the time to spend out for walks and snuggled up on the sofa with your pup (I hope!) I live in a pet friendly flat that has 4 communal gardens. I also have a balcony where my dog loves to spend a lot of his time, watching the world go by.
