“Rebecca was amazing with my wee kitten Ozzy! Her communication was great with me before, during and after the visit and really put me at ease. She was fantastic with Ozzy, gave me updates and sent pictures and videos. She made sure he was fed, played with him and made sure he was safe before I left following any instructions I had left. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Rebecca again if I need someone to check on Ozzy and I would highly recommend her services 💖”


About: With years or experience caring (and loving on) a range of animals, I treat every animal like my own- belly rubs, treats, and all. Whether it's playtime, walkies, cuddles or just some good company, I'm here to keep tails wagging and whiskers twitching while you are away. Currently teaching part-time. I am available end of week and weekends to help you enjoy your well earned time off, and allowing me to get outdoors and spend time with the best furry friends. I have a spacious flat that has easy access garden and nature walks, not too close to busy traffic areas. Your fur baby can have any space required, including own room if necessary.

About: I’ve had experience pet sitting for friends and family and pet sat for long durations of times.im the biggest dog lover and excited to meet new pets!! I currently work a 9-5 but will be able to take time off with enough notice or if you let is okay to be left alone for up to 4 hours I am able to come back on breaks and give them love and walkies I also am free every weekend and more than happy to do jobs at these times I have 2 big friendly dogs and as they are large dogs I am able to use my experience with them to help care of your doggos!

“You can tell that Jennifer has absolute love for animals. My wee dog can be a bit unsure of new people but loved Jennifer from the first moment of meeting her. Jennifer walked my dog for me when I was on holiday recently. She communicated constantly when I was away and sent loads of photos and videos so that I could see how my dog was doing without me! I don't even think she missed me because she loved spending time with Jennifer. I am going to use her for regular walks from now on.”


About: I have been pet sitting professionally for the past 4 years and I recently spent a year travelling around the UK house and pet sitting through the THS App with my partner and our dog. I cared for dogs while their owners were away on holiday, we often looked after chickens and sheep too. I love meeting new furry friends, getting to know their needs and having fun outdoors with them. We are now settled in Ayrshire and hoping to start giving out belly rubs in the local community. I have experience with many breeds, puppies, senior dogs and blind dogs. Your dog will have lots of love and care, we love our walks outdoors and there are plenty of options for locations depending on where your dog loves to go. I have a secure and fenced garden at my home that your dog will have supervised access to for toilet breaks. They will have Ava the Chi for company, myself and my partner. Your dog will never be left alone with another dog unsupervised either indoors or outside. When I sit for pets in your home I will keep to their usual routine, whilst creating a safe and secure environment. Dogs will get plenty of exercise with daily walks and toilet breaks. My chihuahua may come with me depending on your circumstances. She won't come if your pet isn't happy with it and this can be discussed before hand.

“My dog Louie absolutely loved Angela. Angela walked Louie for a week at lunchtime and sent me pictures and updates of times of walks. As we were on holiday, it was such a reassurance that Louie was well loved and walked as my daughter who was looking after dog was working. Fabulous service and would 100% recommend. Thank you Angela”


About: I grew up on a farm so have an all round love of animals in general. I currently have Nevis a 4 year old, one eyed English Bulldog and also previously had a Samoyed, Shih Tzu and Boxer so have varied breed experience. You can see in my photos I cared for a litter of puppies which gave me great experience but taught me I was not destined to be a breeder. As you can see in the photos all of the puppies are very close to us and I see them regularly. Happy to look after any animals following owners usual routine. All requests will be assessed to ensure I can meet your needs and I will not commit if I am not right for you and your pet. All areas and dates between those above considered. I am insured, DBS in progress and registered with National Association of Registered Pet Sitters and Dog Walkers. My current career is in pharmaceutical and life science auditing and compliance so training and legislation is a key aspect aspect to me. Any pet sits would be fully assessed before commiting to ensure they are my priority and can have my full attention. I follow owners schedule requested. No change to pet's daily life. If i cannot fulfill the owners requests then I will not commit. I treat pets exactly as owner requests following their own routine in the comfort of their own home. My goal is for the pet to feel safe, relaxed and loved.

About: I’ve had vizslas for around 20 years now, as a teenager we had one in the family home and when he sadly passed we fostered several and one long term. When I moved out I got my own vizsla puppy and he’s 3.5 now but still my big baby. Arlo was a very challenging puppy and although he is still high energy he’s a very good boy and loves to sleep inbetween walks. Arlo is not a morning person and would happily sleep until lunchtime most days, he needs 1.5-2 hours walks a day and has severe separation anxiety so is never left alone. He absolutely loves toys especially a ball or frisbee on a walk but he’s happy to share and never takes them off another dog. He loves to chase and be chased by his many doggy friends and has never shown any aggressions what so ever. Any time he’s given a telling off by another dog he takes the telling and doesn’t annoy them. I’ve had plenty of other family/friends dogs in our home or theirs and arlo and I both love it! Arlo sleeps in my bed cuddled in under the covers which is ridiculous but doggy guests will have the choice of a double bed in the other room, the sofa or their beds whatever suits them. Ofcourse they are allowed on the sofas and have full access to Arlo’s toys and garden. I work from home full time and as Arlo has separation anxiety he is never left alone. I work full time from home and my shifts vary slightly from 8-4,10-6 and 6-2. I walk Arlo twice per day for around 2 hours total and let him out to run around the garden as often as he likes. Another buddy for him during boarding would not change much for us just another pup to love. I have an open plan living space with a large turfed garden. I live right next to a great off lead walking spot and know all the local dogs who Arlo is of course friends with. I can accommodate needs as requested and although Arlo has full run of the house I can crate visiting dogs if needed. I will monitor the dogs at all times and send regular update pics and videos. I’m happy to have a free meet and greet/home tour prior to any bookings to ensure the dogs get along and are familiar with each other. Guest dogs will be equipped with an Apple air tag during walks for extra safety precautions.

She kept the animals to their normal routine which was very important to us. She sent us some very happy doggy pictures whilst we were away and knew they were in safe hands. Aileen C has a wealth of knowledge and absolutely loves animals, especially dogs, which is obvious from her approach and she was an instant hit with our black labrador when they met.

“I’ve known Lucy for almost 8 years now. Lucy is great with animals, her sister has two dash hounds that she’s always in walking for her sister as she works late being a nurse, her mum has a dog that she takes on regular walks with her own very well trained husky. I Think Lucy would be a great responsible pet caregiver. Lucy is a very outdoorsy person so to be able to take other dogs along on the trip would not only benefit the pets but the owners too. To summarise I think Lucy would be a great addition to the Rover community.”

Katie Y.
“Katie is a qualified vet nurse who loves nothing more than spending time with animals! She has a Ragdoll cat and two rabbits of her own and dreams of having her own farm or pet sanctuary. Animal care and welfare is so important to Katie and as much as she’d love more pets, she feels with her job the next best thing is sharing her love around as a Rover pet sitter and dog walker. The benefits of her nursing training means she understands animals behaviour and needs and animals love her as much as she loves them!”


Qian W.
“In my opinion, she is incredibly meticulous and considerate, I have never seen such a careful person, will pay attention to the dog's drinking habits, will give the dog nutritionally balanced food ration, will be careful to take the dog out of the house to shop, she is my heart of the dog caretaker is not the best choice.”
