About: I have hands-on experience walking dogs of all ages — from playful one-year-old pups to wise and gentle 12-year-old seniors. Friends and family often trust me to care for their beloved pets, and the longest stretch was a two-week stay looking after four furry companions under one roof while their owners were away on holiday. From quick toilet breaks to long, peaceful walks along the river, I’m happy to adapt to each dog’s needs and energy. I currently work from 8 AM to 5 PM, so my early mornings (6 AM to 7 AM) and evenings are available to care for your beloved pet. In the mornings, I’m available for quick visits—whether it’s a short potty break, feeding, or checking in to make sure everything is alright. In the evenings, I can offer longer visits with time for an unhurried walk, playtime, or just keeping your pet company. Overnight stays are also possible with prior arrangement. I understand how important consistency and companionship are for pets, and I’m here to help keep them happy and comfortable while you're away. While I’m not able to bring your furry friend to my home, I’ll gladly look after them in the familiar surroundings of yours. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, litter cleaning or just quiet company — your pet will be cared for lovingly and attentively while you're away, right where they feel most safe and relaxed.

About: With extensive experience caring for my sister's dogs, Apollo and Bec, I understand what it takes to be a dedicated pet sitter. From daily walks and playtime to attentive care, I've developed the skills needed to keep pets happy and healthy. I'll bring this same level of devoted attention and enthusiasm to caring for your beloved pet. I'm available most days to provide dedicated attention to your pet, including walks and interactive playtime with their favourite toys. I believe in giving pets my full attention, ensuring they receive plenty of affection and cuddles to keep them happy and content throughout our time together. Your dog will have a wonderful time playing in our fully fenced garden. For added security, the garden gate is always kept locked, and I provide constant supervision during outdoor playtime. While our friendly dog Apollo shares the space, he typically keeps to himself, ensuring a safe and enjoyable environment for your pet.

“Olivia was really great with our dog Luther he took to her right away. She was really accommodating and really great at communicating throughout. She sent us lovely pictures of our dog and kept us up updated throughout. Would highly recommend her, she was very friendly and lovely and we returned home to a happy dog.”

About: I’ve always had dogs whilst growing up and love looking after them, walking them and playing with them, I’ve been around all kinds of dogs, with friends and family since I can remember so feel very confident around any dog! I’m currently working full time in hospitality, so can be flexible, my shift patterns do change from week to week but I can try my best to accommodate for any specific needs! Having three dogs and a cat at my family home, I am experienced in knowing how to care for/ when to feed dogs, and am very comfortable in my experience to know I could look after anyone’s dog.

About: I have loved animals of all kinds since I can remember. I have grown up around plentiful, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, Guinea pigs, birds. I wish I could have a pet of my own but I work full time and so my schedule wouldn’t allow to care for a pet of my own but I would love to help out by walking and/or spending time with other pets of owners who need a hand every now and then! I work 8-4 on week days so am looking to support pets from 5pm onwards, I have more free time on the weekends also. I work alongside schools timings so I have 13 weeks a year where I am more available, in theee times my calendar will be reflective. My partner and I are very active and would enjoy taking a little furry friend around with us whether it’s nature walks, beach walks or anything else that is preferable and suitable to each pet.

About: Having grown up surrounded by my own dogs and family friend's I have ample experience loving, caring and dog-sitting for many different pets with their own individual needs. I have experience with caring for and walking multiple dogs at once and I'm able to cater for dogs both younger or more active, with longer more frequent and exciting walks as well as those who may be older or require quieter care or extra TLC. Additionally, I of course have a LIFETIME of experience of loving pets and animals of all breeds, sizes and personalities! I'm a university student who is home for the summer until late September/early October. I'm available for the majority of weekdays and weekends during this time and I'm very flexible, willing to work around you and your pet's schedule! When walking your pet I always make sure I'm in a pet-safe area and that if your pet enjoys off-lead time this is in a safe and enclosed environment. With pet-sitting I'm sure to maintain pet-safe areas and making sure I'm following a schedule which is inclusive of their needs and well-being.

About: I am a retired lady who is completely mad about dogs of all shapes and sizes. I find it really hard to walk past a dog without acknowledging it. They are such wonderful creatures. I have fostered many dogs for a local rescue centre and am a member of the RSPCA and have helped with various aspects of volunteering work involving dogs and dog welfare. I have a large house with a totally secure back garden. Doggy guests can sleep upstairs or downstairs according to their owner's preference. Daily walks on the beach or through local countryside guaranteed. Let me pamper your pooch while you are away!

“Abbie was amazing! Came over and met Chester beforehand and wasn’t fazed! She took amazing care and went above and beyond with him. Left the house in perfect condition. I’d definitely recommend Abbie and we will 100% be in touch again. Thank you :)”

About: I’ve had a bunch of dogs over the years, and I’ve had them since I was a kid. I had a German Shepherd, a Beagle, a Border Collie, a Weimaraner, a cockapoo, and most recently, a Cavapoo named Gus. I’ve taken my dogs from the time they were just 8 weeks old, all the way through puppy school and advanced classes, and even dog agility. My cavapoo had health problems and he required a lot of care, medication and treatments, I’ve learned a lot about this side of caring and understand the critical aspects of care that people may often forget. I work from home on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and have the whole weekend free. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I’m in Cambridge, traveling on a Monday night and coming back on Wednesday night. Since I work from home, I’m happy to take care of any pets or walk them during the day, in the evenings, overnight, or on weekends. Just let me know! Unfortunately my home is under construction so unable to provide services where pets come to my house, however this will change in the coming months, however I’m very happy to care for them in your property and will treat it with the highest amount of respect. I also drive so I’m very happy to take them on longer nature walks, and give them the space and freedom to play and enjoy a nice walk. I will ensure the highest levels of safety for your pets in the environments that you have set up yourself, understand needs of each circumstance and ensure you come home to a very happy friend.

About: As a dedicated pet parent to both a dog and a cat, I understand the love and care our furry friends need. With years of hands-on experience, I can provide attentive, reliable pet sitting tailored to your pet’s unique needs, whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or extra patience for senior pets. I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because im already used to feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for my own pets. Having a cat and a dog means i understand different needs, like daily walks for dogs and litter box maintenance for cats. When pet sitting i will make sure i stick to their routine, keep the home nice and tidy and clean up any accidents if needed. I am also willing to do any little jobs as instructed like watering plants etc. I will spend quality time playing with the pet. Before leaving i will ensure all doors that need to be closed are closed and that the pet is safe in the home.

“Jess was great with our dogs, particularly with our reactive boy. Felt completely comfortable leaving her in charge in our home. Thanks, Jess.”

“Kelly stayed overnight while we attended my daughter’s wedding, I was really scared letting a stranger stay overnight but after meeting her ,Kelly was lovely and we had no hesitation letting her stay in our home overnight to look after my fur babies. She kept us updated how to dogs were and it put me at ease, When we arrived home our dogs where happy and content like they had fun while we were away. I would recommend kelly to anyone and would definitely use her again.”

“I have been very impressed with Karolina’s professionalism and also her clear passion for dogs. She took to my 3 straight away as they did her. On the day, poor Karolina had a few challenges to deal with and she was brilliant. Massively put my mind at ease considering I couldn’t get back to her to help. I highly recommend Karolina.”

About: I’m very active and love walking. My girlfriend is also on rover so it’s something we both enjoy doing. My Dalmatian loves play days but can also stay with my girlfriend if this is an issue I can do hybrid working when required. I don’t work weekends at all. My girlfriend is also free during the day so we can help each other if needed I have a fenced garden and a backyard. I’ve got a very friendly Dalmatian that loves play dates. Wouldn’t ever need to leave the dog by themselves
