About: Hey! I am happy to care for your pet in any way you need. I have experience with dogs, cats and rabbits and have been around animals from a very young age. I myself have a lively golden retriever, a stubborn but loveable miniature dachshund, as well as a sweet and friendly british shorthair cat. I run my own Etsy business from home, which only takes up an hour or two of my time every day. This means that I can be available at pretty much any time of the day, any day of the week to care for your pet. I am very flexible and can accommodate requests at the last minute, as well as being open to changes in my schedule if your plans change. I can offer drop in visits for your pet at a time that's convenient for you. I can let your pet outside, feed them, or administer necessary medications as well as provide general company and some fun playtime. I will send regular photos / videos of your pets for your peace of mind. I’m also happy to fit in any small tasks you require in the home if needed :)
About: I have had dogs for most of my life from big to small and know that they are an important part of your family. Having recently lost our 2 border terriers I find myself missing the pleasures of having a dog around the house. I would love to care for your dog during the day when you are unable to do so. I am now retired and have the time to give your dog the attention it needs, from long walks, cuddles and chill time. You can be rest assured that you beloved pet will be looked after. Being retired means that I can look after your dog five days a week and I am available from early in the morning until late in the evening. I live a large town house with a back garden that the dogs can use, they will have the lounge, utility room and garden at their disposal. I also live 2 minutes away from Connaught Park where I will take them for walks as well as other nearby walks.

About: Hello my name is Katy, I am 23 years old and love dogs! We used to have 5 but they have sadly all passed now. I love spending time with them and going for walks. In my free time I make my own jewellery and do some courses too. I do badminton twice a week and as I drive I am quite flexible. I have a lot of free time. I am German and came over to England when I was 17 years old so I’ve been here for over 5 years now and love it. Feel free to ask me questions :) I am free most of the week, I do a two hour course on Thursdays in the morning and one on Tuesdays for an hour in the morning, apart from that I am complete free for the week basically. I am happy wo walk, feed and play with any of your pets, I have a lot of free time and would specialise in whatever your pets needs are :)
About: I go on long walks every day and would love to have some dogs to accompany me. I have a lot of love to give and would not just watch and care for your pet, I would genuinely spend time with them and have fun and play. I am a self employed singer, so I am home most days. When I work it’s usually evenings or I go abroad for a few days. But when I’m not working, I’m home full time and spend my days going on long walks. I have a very large garden which is just grass and has full fencing all the way around so lots of space for the dogs to run around and play. Dogs will be allowed to go in any room in the house and are allowed on the furniture if that’s what they are used to in their own home.
About: With 2 decades of experience taking care of dogs, I’m committed to providing a personalized and nurturing service for your canine companion! I have experience of guiding and training energetic puppies through working with my own pups! As a part time teacher, I am able to work flexible hours and will have ample time for your pets! I’ll be able to provide energetic play sessions, interactive toys and outdoor adventures (my favourite!). I have a completely enclosed garden where your dog would be safe with plenty of toys and space for play! If you wanted a drop in service i would like to find out a bit more about normal routine for your pup at home so i can be consistent with their care!
About: I have a wide variety of experience with multiple animals such as dogs, cats, horses and smaller - such as rodents! (I currently own a rat). I’m happy to handle large dogs also. I have a diploma in land based animal studies and have completed a level 2 pet first aid course. I’m fully insured and dbs checked. Currently, I only have a few pets that require my care! My dog gets walked once a day and is crate trained so I have a few hours available during the day for walks and pop ins. Overnight stays, she would be cared for by my lovely family! So she won’t be neglected while I care for your furries. I will always go over your routine (if any) with your pet to ensure their day to day life isn’t changed too much. I am more than happy to administer any medication, crate your dog or make sure they’re only in specific rooms you allow.
About: Growing up, we always had a houseful of pets! From the more common cats, dogs and hamsters to the more unusual; ferrets, stick insects, mice, piranhas, budgies. Pets have always been a huge part of my life. As I love to travel, I can't commit to having a furry friend of my own at the moment, but after looking after my friend's cats while she was on holiday recently I realised how much I missed having a little companion around the house. Which is why I signed up to Rover. I currently work only Mondays and Wednesdays, so I have alot of free time! I love walking so would love to have a dog to walk, and also love to snuggle up with a furry friend on the sofa at home Although I do live in a flat, it is very spacious, and I have my own private garden. I would take into account any pet owner's preferences when it came to their pet weather it was in their home or mine. I understand that pet's are people's family so safety is of upmost important. I also have a current DBS check because of my work

Can't offer my flat out (due to the cat) but am happy to house sit for up to a week (with notice). Please feel free to get in touch to discuss further or if you have any other questions about me. I'm a freelancer who works from home with a cat I wish I could walk. I tend to travel a lot for work, but am very free during the winter and long periods in the summer. I have a fenced garden that is medium sized, but the dog would have to be able to get on with my cat. She is friendly.

About: I’ve grown up around animals, hamsters, birds, rabbits, cats, dogs, horses. I am happier around animals than I am people most of the time! Being a shift worker I know how hard it is trying to find a walker or someone to call in when you have to work. Now that I have no pets at home it’s a chance for me to help someone else and get all the walks and play and cuddles from other peoples gorgeous animals As a shift worker I get different days off so I can be very flexible. I can help out on awkward dates. I am used to early mornings and late nights and can be about during the day when other people aren’t I have always had dogs and have a secure garden and surrounded by fields and great walking around the village and over the fields. I have no issue with dogs on the sofa!
About: I have always grown up.with pets in the house and mainly they have been XXL size dogs. This makes it a lot easier when it comes to looking after other people's pets especially if they are on the larger side. I currently do a house sitting for a lovely bull mastiff cross Rottweiler and he just loves the time we get to spend together. Please feel free to ask anything else you might want to know I've just currently been made redundant so am looking to just fill my time between finding another job. I will of course keep doing this where possible once I know what my new working schedule will be. I currently have 2 indoor cats so as you can imagine the main priority it making sure they don't attempt the great escape so I'm very conscious of doors and windows being opened. Where they are indoors cats it does mean they need more playtime and interaction so that's never a problem, most of my free time will be playing with them or giving them love

“Maisie is a very responsible pet owner. She has cared for numerous dogs in the family over the years and she has always been keen to play and have fun with animals. She has had extensive experience with dogs and rabbits, and has more recently adopted a kitten. She is good at putting animals at ease and is very attentive to individual pets needs.

Helen B.
“Fantastic people and service! They took great care of my elderly dog for about 8 days while I was out of the country. I've had bad experiences in the past with other companies. so I was a little nervous initially. I realized pretty quickly that I could trust Helen and Husband . The came at a predictable time every day and always sent detailed updates and pictures after a visit. My messages were responded to quickly (their messaging system is awesome). They also planned ahead during the snow "bomb cyclone" and made their visit early to make sure my Dog was taken care of. They seem to truly love what they do. They are also priced competitively with other companies. I won't hesitate to use them again for a 2 week holiday this year”
Ashley H.
“She seemed to have enjoyed herself. I think Maisie loved Scamp.”
Katharina S.
“Katharina is an excellent dog sitter who always has always gone above and beyond to look after our dogs, to taking them to the vets when we are away or being up all night during a thunderstorm, definitely recommend.”
hannah s.Star Sitter
“Hannah has been fantastic with our two dogs (and they can be a handful), she is reliable and is respectful with any preferences/wishes we had for their care and routine. Hannah has been a lifesaver for us on several ocassions, she has been very flexible and accommodating when asked for support with very short notice. Our doggies love her and we always get regular updates and lots of photos!! We can relax when we are away knowing that they will be very well looked after, thank you Hannah 😊”
Menna D.
“Menna has looked after my dog, Ruby, many times, it’s hard to find someone Ruby will get along with as a very nervous dog but she absolutely loves Menna. Menna has previously taken her on walks and has looked after Ruby whilst we have been at work to ensure Ruby has company. Menna has two dogs herself, which are so well behaved and Ruby gets along with them both, which is amazing considering she’s so nervous with other dogs. I think the fact that her own two dogs are so well behaved and looked after is a testament to the care Menna will put in whilst looking after yours.”
Emma A.
“Emma is an excellent pet sitter. She took great care of my hamster Moose, ensuring his comfort and not disturbing his sleep. Emma also checked on my horses, making sure they had enough food and water, and looking for any injuries. Her responsible approach and regular updates gave me peace of mind while I was away. Emma has a natural ability with animals and provided attentive care. I highly recommend her pet sitting services and will definitely use her again for future trips.”
