“Melanie is amazing! ⭐️Super professional, thorough and attentive to our puppy’s needs. She looked after Cosmo at our home all day - we returned to a very happy dog, dinner prepared and the house in emaculate order. She was excellent at communicating through the day. We will definitely be booking her again. 🐶❤️”


“Nigel looked after our dog skye while we were away for the week. He was very diligent around the house and she was suitably tired by the end of the week from the walks and fun they clearly had together. We’d recommend Nigel to others.”


“It was our first time using rover as my mum and dad had always looked after our dog, so we were a bit apprehensive. I am so glad we did, as Tristan and Carey were absolutely amazing with our dog and Guinea pig and looked after our house so well. We came home to a happy dog and g.pig and a lovely clean house. I couldn’t have been happier! While we were away we received updates and photos . I felt totally confident and at ease that our animals and our house were in good care so was able to enjoy a break away without any worries. I would, without hesitation book them again and recommend them to others. Thank you guys! Hope to see you again :-)”


About: I have had the pleasure of having dogs since early age, so I am used to care for them and adapt to their own needs and personalities. I see them as my own companions and certainly as part of the family. I also look after my dear neighbours dogs, so again, helping and adapting to different ways of doggies. I am also a mature, honest and reliable lady who is committed to comply with the duty of caring of a pet and I know how important that is when you need to rely on other people to care for your dog. I work from home part time, so I am quite adaptable to the needs of yourself and of course the pet to care for, as I could take if necessary my laptop to your place and be with the pet the majority of time. Not applicable at the moment as not caring for the pet at my own home at least presently. However and depending of the size of the dog, that could also be considered.

About: Hi! I’m Ellie. I have over 8 years of experience caring for my own cats and dogs. Having grown up with pets, I understand how important it is to provide them with loving, reliable care while you’re away. I’ve spent time dog walking and feeding a variety of animals, so whether you need someone to walk, feed or sit for your pet, I’m here to help. I will always aim to make your pets feel comfortable, happy, and safe! I am currently a teacher on school holidays so have lots of free time available in the mornings, afternoons and evenings. I am very flexible so am available to fit the needs of your pets. I offer dog walking and feeding services for dogs, cats and other pets tailored to fit your pet’s needs and routine. I’m comfortable handling dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes and temperaments. I am calm, confident and nurturing.

“Ciara was great with our dog Hazel, she sent lots of photos and messages and it sounds like they had a lot of fun. Ciara also managed to get some cuddles out of our moody cat, so she certainly has a way with animals. We will be happy to re-book Ciara in the future.”


About: I’m a devoted lover of animals and will soon qualify as a veterinarian. I live in Petersfield and would love to look after your pet! I’m currently studying so my availability will vary depending on my commitments. Whenever I am available I would be delighted to look after your pet! I fully understand what is involved in caring for any pet, thanks to my many years studying veterinary medicine which has trained me for gold standard care in all animal species. When dog sitting, I will usually spend a long time introducing myself to them, making sure they are comfortable with my presence and allowing them to approach me if they wish. I will walk dogs every 4 hours, unless their individual need require otherwise. For cats, I tend to be much less hands on, again allowing them to come to me if desired.

“Megan was very gentle and patient with our new, very bouncy puppy! She even sent photos/ updates during the day to reassure us that all was well and we could enjoy our day without worrying. Would definitely recommend Megan”


About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a pet-loving home taught me from an early age how to care for a wide range of animals with patience, love, and attention to detail. I’ve had the joy of growing up with both cats and dogs - including Tabbies, Maine Coons, Labradors, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, and Spaniels - giving me a strong foundation in understanding different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. I’m a proud owner of a calm, affectionate British Shorthair – who reminds me daily how unique each animal’s personality can be. Whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or simply making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away, I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience and genuine care to every animal I look after. I know how important your pets are to you – because mine mean the world to me too! I’m currently taking a career break after working in the financial industry for the past eight years. This time off has given me the flexibility to focus on something I’ve always loved - caring for animals. I’m available throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and can accommodate your schedule and your pet’s needs. Whether you need daily check-ins, overnight stays, or last-minute support, I’m here to offer reliable, compassionate care. When caring for animals in someone else’s home, I understand the deep level of trust that’s involved - not just with your pet, but with your personal space too. I treat every home with the utmost respect and ensure a calm, secure, and familiar environment for your pet to feel comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s wellbeing is always my top priority. From sticking to their usual routines to providing plenty of love, play, and attention, I work to create an stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I’m reliable, discreet, and fully committed to maintaining a safe, clean, and caring atmosphere - just as I would in my own home.

About: I’ve taken care of many breeds of dogs with many different temperaments and behavioural issues since I was 14. Family friends and neighbors have relied on me to walk, look after and care for their pets also. I’ve had quite a lot of experience with senior dogs, the slower walks where they can just sniff about and enjoy life are always the best and easier on their joints. I’ve also taken care of many different species of animals including livestock, rodents and reptiles. I’ve spent quite a lot of time around horses as I use to ride. Small rodents like rats though would definitely have to be my favourite little animals to take care of though as they can be so loving! I’m currently looking for work, this being the main outcome so far as I’m very much a pet enthusiast! I’ll have all the time in the world to play and look after your beloved furbabies! Caring for pets in your home can be quite stressful for your furbabies as it’s not completely familiar, I will do my best to ensure they are comfortable and have the same routine they have with you! Routine and consistency is always the key to success. If your dogs need to be given medication at any time I would need a schedule as of how much and when but they will get all the love, enrichment and play they desire!

“Catherine is a really lovely lady & her caring nature for the dogs showed straight away. She treated our house like it was her own and the dogs were so well looked after & happy during our trip away. Thank you Catherine - would highly recommend and will be our first choice going forward.”


“Michelle was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Her communication was excellent — always quick, clear, and reassuring. She was incredibly responsive and made everything so easy and stress-free. It’s rare to find someone who is both fast and reliable while also being so warm and thoughtful. She took amazing care of our dog with so much love and attention. It was clear that she genuinely cares and connects with animals. Our dog was happy, calm, and well looked after, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We feel lucky to have found her and would recommend Michelle to anyone without hesitation!”


About: Previous experience of several cats and dogs. Currently mum to a 7 year old jackawawa. Old hand-reared previous puppies when their mother abandoned them so happy with any age. I work part time so can fit in around my routine easily. I am free weekends around my children's visits. Happy to discuss any availabilities. I have experience of fenced gardens, and both crating/not crating. If needed, my dog can be a friend during your time away too and he is friendly and laid-back.

“Abby came over to look after our puppy Kepler with her dog Cosmo. We had a meet and greet beforehand and talked over everything he would need. We were nervous as Kepler had never been at home all day with another dog around before, but he and Cosmo got on fantastically. Abby sent updates and pictures throughout the booking, and the house was clean and tidy when we got home. Kepler had clearly had a fantastic time and was completely exhausted all day when we arrived home!”


About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember – from cats and guinea pigs to dogs, birds, and even the occasional hedgehog rescue! I currently share my home (and my heart) with two Pharaoh Hounds, a cat, and a rotating cast of muddy paw prints. What sets me apart? I treat your pets like family. I’m calm, confident, and completely unflappable – whether I’m giving meds to a nervous cat, cleaning up after a cheeky pup, or gently caring for senior pets with mobility issues. I've looked after: Dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments (including reactive or anxious ones) Cats, including indoor-only and elderly felines needing extra care Guinea pigs and small animals Birds, including hand-rearing a baby chaffinch (yes, really!) I’m happy to water plants, collect parcels, and send regular updates with photos and stories – so you can fully relax knowing your home and pets are in safe hands. Basically, if it’s got fur, feathers, or a tail... I’ve probably cuddled it. Pet care slots beautifully into my daily routine – it’s one of the best parts of my day! I’m self employed with a flexible schedule, which means I can work around your pet’s needs and stick to their usual routine, whether that’s early breakfast, midday cuddles, or evening visits. I’m used to being up early (thanks to my own Pharaoh Hounds!) and can fit in morning, afternoon, and evening visits throughout the week and weekend. I’m also happy to accommodate last-minute bookings or special routines when needed. Basically, if your pet needs me I’ll be there, tail wags and all. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel secure and relaxed while you're away. In your home, I keep everything just as you left it clean, calm, and respectful of your space. I follow your instructions to the letter, from feeding times and medication to quirky habits and favourite nap spots. I’ll also keep an eye on your home watering plants, collecting post, and making it look lived in for extra peace of mind. When pets stay with me (or visit), they’ll be part of the family. I have a secure, pet-friendly environment, plenty of soft places to curl up, and two gentle Pharaoh Hounds who are used to sharing their space. I’m fully insured, treat animals with genuine care and affection, and always provide updates so you can feel connected while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of multiple breeds, cats, birds, and reptiles for 5 years now. I am an animal lover who has been brought up around animals since birth. I love pet cuddles, playtime and walkies! Please note that my partner will join on initial visits for my safety I currently work part time so there is plenty of time for me to spend with your loved fur babies. I am happy to be as flexible as possible. I would like to meet your animal atleast once prior to sitting, so I can learn about your baby! I am happy to do anything to ensure your pet has the most fun whilst being cared for in the best way possible

“Julia was absolutely amazing with Rio. She sent updates throughout the weekend and took Rio out for a few nice walks! She was extremely flexible and in general a very lovely person! We will very definitely contact her again in the future. Our dog Rio misses her already! Thanks so much Julia!!”

Maria Del Rocio B.
“Our family has known Rocio for eight years, and we would be delighted to vouch for her on 'Rover'! We first got to know Rocio when she was working as a cleaner for a contract cleaning company we employed. She did such an amazing job that we soon asked her to help out with other things too - and she quickly became our 'go to' babysitter for our two young children. She was so kind and reliable that we recommended her to our friends, and she is now widely known and employed as a babysitter among our friendship group. Often when she would babysit, she would bring along her own lovely little dog, Juno, who our children adored. So, when we got our dog, Jack, in 2017, it made complete sense to ask Rocio to look after our dog occasionally too. So - she has happily cared for Jack occasionally for almost seven years now. This has included dog walking duties, but also 'dog sitting' for Jack for up to a week at a time whilst we have been on holiday. The best recommendation we can give is that Jack is always really pleased to see Rocio - he clearly adores her and loves spending time with her. He also gets along famously with Juno, although he does rather unkindly steal Juno's favourite spot on the sofa when he stays with Rocio! We would have no hesitation in giving Rocio a most glowing recommendation, and can assure anyone employing her as a dog walker or dog sitter that their best friend is in the best hands!”


Ellie S.
“Ellie is the perfect person to have look after your pets - be it cat or dogs! She is so kind and caring, and will definitely make sure the animals are looked after. She has had both cats and dogs, and is very experienced in looking after them. To add to this, she is also a teacher , which shows she is a caregiver and responsible adult.”


Josh T.

“The furkids felt immediately at peace with Josh, and he had an amazingly gentle nature with them. They were happy, well taken care of, and look forward to seeing Josh again. Thank you!”

“Megan was very gentle and patient with our new, very bouncy puppy! She even sent photos/ updates during the day to reassure us that all was well and we could enjoy our day without worrying. Would definitely recommend Megan”


Samantha W.
“Samantha has been an absolutely brilliant dog walker and I couldn’t recommend her more highly. From the very beginning, she was reliable, professional, and clearly passionate about dogs. Our dog took to her instantly, and it was clear she genuinely cared—not just about getting them out for a walk, but making sure they had a fun, safe, and stimulating experience. Samantha kept us updated with photos and little notes after each walk, which gave us great peace of mind. She’s been flexible, punctual, and always goes the extra mile. It’s rare to find someone so trustworthy and dedicated. We’re incredibly grateful for everything she’s done and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for top-quality care for their dog.”

I loved getting little updates and photos while I was gone, which made me feel totally at ease. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Louise again she’s fantastic!”
