“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.”


“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.

“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 💖”

We came home to a well-exercised, happy puppy and a house that was spotless! Highly recommend her!"”

Louise S.
“Louise looks after my 3 cats every time I go on holiday. Although she is in to feed them, Louise has helped with administering medication for my cat as needed too. She doesn't just feed them and run, she will spend time with them checking they are doing ok and sends me photographs and updates of the cats to show me they are ok. This provides me with reassurance when leaving them. Louise has changed litter trays and keeps the feeding bowls clean and fresh for the cats. She is an excellent cat-sitter and I wouldn't trust anybody else with my cats. Highly recommended.”

Lucy P.
“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.”
