“Dougie loved his holiday with Kathryn and family, this was his first proper time away from us and couldn’t have picked a better sitter for Dougie. Kept informed everyday of his activities and plenty of videos and pictures as well , would recommend Kathryn and family to anyone looking for somewhere safe and loving for your dog. Tom 🙂”

“Jade was absolutely amazing with my dog Logan, a very energetic Staffordshire bull terrier! He can be a bit full on when you first meet him, but Jade handled his energy with ease and made him feel right at home. She kept in great contact leading up to his stay and throughout his visit, sending a lovely video and some adorable photos that showed me he was settling in well. Even though it was just 2 days, I could tell Logan was really well looked after. I'll definitely be booking with Jade again- Highly recommended!”
“Liga provided the perfect home for our dog, Jack, while we were away for 2 days. He has very specific dietary needs and she was meticulous following them even with other dogs to care for as well. Her communication was stellar and Jack had an amazing time. Would absolutely recommend her as a dog sitter/boarding.”
“First time for my dog Amba staying overnight with Steph and her husband. Communication was great and I received some lovely pics and updates. Amba had a great time.”
About: I have a 9 year old black Labrador who is the family pet and have been helping my mum with doggy day care and dog boarding for over 2 years now. We’ve looked after dogs all shapes and sizes over the years ranging from puppies to mastiffs. The dogs tend to use me for my bed and cuddles! I’m currently looking for a full time remote/hybrid job after travelling for 6 months so will have plenty of time for your pups. I’m available for dog sitting and walking every day of the week at the moment. I’m very used to looking after dogs with different needs in our house and can easily accommodate for your dogs needs in the comfort of their own home.
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was a teenager, regularly walking and helping to care for my family dog from the age of 14. Since then I've had plenty of hands-on experience with dogs of different ages, personalities and energy levels. I now have my own young dog, so I'm very familiar with puppy and adolescent energy, training, enrichment and keeping curious dogs entertained! I absolutely love spending time with dogs and I'm happy to follow their individual routines around feeding, walks, play and downtime to help them feel comfortable and at home. I work from home full-time, so I'm around throughout the day to provide plenty of company, attention and toilet breaks. I already structure my day around my own dog's routine, including regular walks, playtime and enrichment. I'm available for boarding, daycare, walks and drop-in visits throughout the week, with availability shown on my calendar. I have a fenced garden and a friendly young dog who loves the company of other dogs. I only accept one household's pets at a time, so your dog will get plenty of individual attention. We're also just a minutes' walk from a grassy park, perfect for daily fetch. I have multiple rooms available, so dogs can have their own space when needed, and I'm happy to follow their usual routine around feeding, walks, sleeping and crate use.
“Bella was so happy here and made herself at home very quickly. Definitely recommend, a very chilled and calm environment. Bella stayed for two days and enjoyed her little break away.”
“Leaving Simba with Fozia was the best experience ever. I was a little concerned about leaving Simba because Fozia has her own dog. The first day was all about them getting to know each other, but after that they became the best of friends! Fozia kept us updated throughout Simba’s stay with clear messages and lots of photos, which was absolutely amazing. We missed Simba so much, and seeing those pictures really reassured us that he was happy, relaxed, and being so well looked after. It put our minds completely at ease. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Simba with Fozia again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy to look after their dog. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our boy 🥰🙏”
“Can't recommend Pricilla enough for dog boarding! Cleo is small and shy dog, so I was really nervous. But Pricilla was amazing from day one — sent daily photos and updates which kept me sane, and Cleo actually seemed to enjoy herself. She really got Cleo's shy personality. When we picked her up she was relaxed and happy, not stressed at all, which is huge for such a nervous dog. If you need someone trustworthy for an anxious dog, go with Pricilla. We'll definitely book again!”
About: My love for dogs is actually a bit of a journey! I used to be scared of dogs, until I got my own dog six years ago. Since then, I’ve completely fallen in love with them and have gained lots of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs as well as looking after friends’ dogs. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities, routines and needs, and I understand that every dog is an individual. I’m patient and attentive, and I always take the time to make sure a dog feels safe and comfortable. My partner Jack has also grown up around rescue dogs of all shapes and sizes from a very young age, so dogs have become a big part of our lives. Between us, we have plenty of experience with different breeds, temperaments and personalities. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience and attention I give my own. Between me and my partner, one of us will always be at home, so your pet will have company and won’t be left alone for long periods. We’re happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding times, walks, medication and anything else that helps them feel comfortable and settled. We know how reassuring it is to know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away, so we’ll keep you updated throughout their stay with lots of photos and regular updates. Your pet will be treated as part of the family and given plenty of attention, cuddles and care while they’re with us. ❤️ Your dog will be treated as part of the family and will be welcome throughout our home, with plenty of company, attention and cuddles. We have a fully secure fenced garden where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time, as well as access to a secure field and lots of lovely local walks for dogs who enjoy getting out and about. I understand that every dog is different, so I’m happy to follow their normal routine and adapt their care to suit them. If needed, I can separate dogs using different areas of the house or crate dogs if they are already comfortable with crate training. I’ll always follow your instructions and make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable and settled during their stay. I’m also happy to send you plenty of photos and updates so you can see how they’re getting on. 🐶❤️
“It was a great relief leaving Ragnar with Steven, it’s the first time we have left him with anyone who isn’t family but I felt totally at ease. I got regular updates and pics, I would highly recommend him. He looked after our boy like he was their own.”
“We left our dog Buddy for week with Rebecca while we spent a week in Cornwall, we got regular daily photos & updates that made us all feel Buddy was safe and in good hands, thank you Rebecca we will use you again.”
“I honestly can’t say enough good things about Jessica! We were a little nervous after a previous experience, but she was so understanding and instantly put us at ease. Ozzy has had the absolute best time with her – and he can definitely be a handful! Jessica and her partner were amazing with him, and we loved getting plenty of updates and lovely photos. It was so clear to see that our boy had the best stay. We’ll always book with Jessica from now on – highly recommend!”
“Jimmy was fantastic, great communication, he even collected Roxy and dropped her off which was outstanding service, Roxy seemed to love him at first sight, I would highly recommend Jimmy to anyone and I’ll definitely use him again, thank you so much.”
“We had a great experience with Maria taking care of our potato, Rupert. She was responsible, communicative, and very loving toward him. It was clear that Rupert felt comfortable and happy with her. Maria gave us great peace of mind while we were away, and we would absolutely trust her again in the future.”
“Tarnya and her family are amazing, my choccie lab was so happy when I collected her, infact I think she would have been happy to have stayed longer. The love and care they showed during her stay was unconditional, long walks, lots of play and cuddles and regular photo updates. She even had a wash and blow dry during her stay :). A home from home experience, I would 100% revommend and will be using again in the future. Thank you Tarnya and family xx”
“Bear has loved his stay , Julia has been very informative and even went out of her way to print out photos she had taken of him , bear came back as happy as ever and I would definitely recommend her and would 100% book with her again . It’s been a pleasure to meet such a caring family who love my boy just as much as me”
“Tereza was a brilliant host for our dog Rossi. She is super-calm and immediately won over Rossi. She was great with communications and sent loads of photos. 100% recommended!”
About: Life long owner/ carer of dogs, all shapes sizes and breeds from loving Labs to terrific terriers, I provide kind care for them all! 😊 I work part-time, when I'm not at work I'm walking my own dogs usually up to 3 times a day so can easily take yours too!

About: I am experienced in pet sitting dogs and cats and have owned small pets my whole life, including rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs. I’ve been a volunteer for the local Cats Protection branch for 7 years and I’m particularly good with nervous and anxious cats.
“Eleanor is Fantastic cat sitter. She did a great job looking after our cats and gave us regular updates, which was really reassuring while we were away. Lots of genuine care and attention throughout, and we came home to very happy and well looked after cats. Would definitely recommend and happily book again!”
“We are so grateful to Kelly for looking after Harry so well, we could relax knowing that he was in good hands. The daily updates and photos were just lovely to see, and Kelly also went above and beyond by bringing in our parcels out of the rain! We are really grateful and appreciate all she did. Thank you so much Kelly”
“Annie was amazing. She arrived promptly and spent time playing with our puppy as well as making sure he was fed. The puppy was well looked after and I would highly recommend Annie to anyone needing a drop in service for their pet!”
“Really happy I booked Olivia, she really helped us find a last minute sitter for our dog Dash and our cats. The pictures taken on the card gave us peace of mind whilst we were away that dash was being cared for, espeically the one of him cuddling her.”
About: I used to run a boarding and walking business with my mum which I really loved but we recently had to close due to her relocating I now do this full time so I am always available and will often never leave the dogs unattended for any amount of time, unless you are happy for the dog to be left alone. I have water bowls and some pet supplies left over from when me and mum were boarding. I have recently moved onto a canal boat, it’s a wide beam with plenty of space and all amenities you’d expect of a house, the grounds in the marina are great for dogs and there are plenty of footpaths and walking routes near by.
“Punsara was absolutely wonderful looking after my cat Rosie over the Christmas period. She was easy to communicate with and sent lots of lovely photos that really put me at ease while I was away. She truly went above and beyond to make sure Rosie was happy and well cared for, and I really appreciated how attentive she was to any changes in Rosie’s behaviour. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again — highly recommend!”
“Imogen has been brilliant. Plenty of updates, photos and videos of my two cats. She went the further mile by spending time with them so that they didn’t feel abandoned, plus she watered the garden so we didn’t come home to dried dead stalks. I would certainly recommend her and will definitely book her again when I next go on holiday.”
“Julie came to our house to feed and exercise Jazz our cockapoo. She came to our home prior to this for meet and greet time with Jazz and ourselves. Julie was punctual, very professional and had a warm, caring, capable manner. We all immediately felt at ease. Her communication throughout was excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend Julie”
“Maisie took amazing care of Vanil, and I felt completely at ease leaving him with her. She was kind, reliable, and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. I’d definitely recommend her!”
“Tehya was wonderful with Callie! We needed help last minute and she was great with replying and helping us out! She sent plenty of pictures and updates of how she was getting on with Callie which put my mind at ease - will definitely use Tehya again in the future 🥰”
About: I've been around animals since I can remember, mostly dogs but we've had a few cats as well. I've had 5 dogs in my life and most recently a puppy, so I know how to take care of a puppy such as crate and toilet training, playtime, and however old they are let them experience the outside and other dogs. also sadly the dog that has been around me since I was six past away earlier this year and ever since around last year he deteriorated quickly and had to help him into the garden and only could walk him up the drive way and let him sniff around so I think I have experience with senior dogs as well. I'm currently at Falmouth University studying Film however second year is coming to a close so I'll be free most days to take care of your pets. Currently I am available on most weekdays and weekends at midday and after. As a student my uni house doesn't allow pets but I'm more than happy to come to the owner's house and take care of the dog/s or cat/s while the owner is away, I know many places around Penryn and Falmouth to take them on a lovely walk.
“We are very grateful for Tiggys cat care for the week we were away, Margot was very happy with her new friend ! And Tiggy does an excellent job of keeping in touch and is very professional and kind , thank you Tiggy we will definitely be using your drop in visits again!”
“Grace was really friendly and cared for our cats really well. She took great pictures of them each day and sent daily updates. Everything was super clean when we got back as well. Thank you!”
“10/10 Highly Recommend! If it were possible, I would leave a 10-star rating! Leanna did an amazing job and always stayed longer than the actual booked time. She even showed up within 10 minutes for an urgent visit when we were concerned about our little guy. If you get stressed about your pets while on holiday, definitely book her. She goes above and beyond, updating us every day with details and pictures. Eddie, my Russian Blue, absolutely loves her, and I am entirely confident that he is in good hands whenever I am away. Book her with confidence—your holiday will be completely stress-free! I will definitely be using her services again.”

“Kathryn was lovely from the start. Offered an initial meet and greet, which was lovely, ahead of a full day care day. Communication was great and Kathryn kept me updated through the day. I had one very happy and tired boy at the end. Would definitely recommend Kathryn and will definitely book her again. Thank you Kathryn 😊”

About: Hi, I’m Annie 🐾🌲 I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mum to Winnie, my intelligent and loving Shihpoo. I provide small, home-from-home dog care with a maximum of 3 guest dogs at a time, so every dog gets genuine attention, patience and care. While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to caring for dogs. I am licensed by Charnwood Council with a Higher Standards license, and am fully insured too. I’ve looked after dogs before and have experience with a special needs dog who had severe anxiety, separation issues and ongoing medical needs. This taught me the importance of understanding each dog as an individual, keeping routines consistent and creating a calm environment where dogs feel safe. I work from home, meaning your pup will have company, attention and care throughout the day. We have a secure fenced garden and live close to beautiful fields, perfect for relaxed walks and plenty of sniffing adventures 🌿 Winnie loves meeting new friends, but I always put each dog’s personality and comfort first. Whether your dog loves exploring, relaxing or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. My aim is simple: to give every dog the same love, patience and care I would want for Winnie. 🛡️ Higher Standards Licensed 🏡 Home-from-home care 🐾 Maximum 3 guest dogs 🌲 Calm, personal care I work from home, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. My day revolves around making sure pups feel happy, comfortable, and loved. We start the morning with a lovely walk first thing, giving them time to explore, stretch their legs, and enjoy a good sniffari. After we come home, it’s breakfast time followed by cuddles, relaxation, and plenty of companionship while I work from home. Throughout the day, I’m around for attention, reassurance, and little breaks when needed. In the evening, we enjoy dinner and a gentle stroll to stretch our paws before settling down for cosy bedtime snuggles. I love creating a calm, home-from-home environment where dogs can feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family. I provide a calm, safe, and loving home-from-home environment for every pup in my care. I live in a lovely quiet area with a secure fenced garden, giving dogs space to relax, play, and enjoy some fresh air safely. We are surrounded by great walking spots, including fields perfect for exploring and enjoying a good sniffari. I always take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel comfortable and settled. Winnie is a friendly, sociable Shihpoo who loves meeting other pups, and we do have some friendly pup pals who may say hello along the way. However, I always prioritise each dog’s comfort and make sure introductions are calm and appropriate. My aim is to make every dog feel like part of the family while they’re with us — safe, happy, and very well cared for.
“Adora was happy & had a great time. Was great for her to have experience of being with other dogs as well. I have booked again for February overnight boarding. I would recommend Jessica definitely. Adora recognised her from back in July & was happy to see her. Always a good sign 👌”
About: What sets me apart is my real, hands-on experience managing many dogs at once. I own four dogs and have cared for twelve family dogs, so I’m confident with different personalities, routines, puppies, and senior dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. Back home, I handle my own dogs with feeding, walks, routines, and providing constant love and attention. I’m an MBA student at Loughborough with a flexible schedule and lots of free time between classes. I really miss my own dogs, so being around pets fits naturally into my day, and I can give them plenty of attention, walks, and care I provide a safe, trusting environment for your dog in your home. I can follow your routines closely and give plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. If needed, I can also crate your dog comfortably. My experience with my own dogs and family dogs ensures your fur baby will feel happy and secure while you’re away.
“Ivana and her husband are so friendly and welcoming. Their home is beautiful with a gorgeous garden. Buddy enjoyed his visit today and is looking forward to future stop overs 🥰”
“Elizabeth and her lovely family looked after biscuit with great care and gave her heaps of attention, they treated her like their own dog and biscuit loved being around the two girls. I was updated with photos and little stories of what they got up to whilst I was away for work and they made us smile as she clearly looked entertained, was having zoomies and playing with the children and getting lots of cuddles and attention. It made us quite jealous :) My husband found the location easy for work to drop her off on the way and made life easier for him knowing she was cared for extremely well. We will be using Elizabeth and her family again! Thank you for what you did for Biscuit, she came home tired and slept all afternoon and hardly moved :)”
“Irma seemed completely content to stay with Liga and was reluctant to leave when we went to collect her. She enjoyed playing in the garden and snoozing on the sofa - home from home! Thanks for looking after her.”

“Abbie looked after our dog, Ralphie, for the day, and he had the absolute best time! He settled in straight away because Abbie made him feel right at home from the moment we arrived. She was fantastic to deal with, and Ralphie clearly loved every minute of his stay. I cannot recommend Abbie highly enough, and we will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Shivani and Shanti were lovely looking after our dog Arlo for couple of hours. Super helpful with sending updates and pictures and were very friendly and accommodating. If we are ever in the area again would definitely leave our pup in their care. Thank you so much for everything! :)”
About: I have been around dogs and family pets for a long time and have a deep love for all animals. I also own a daschund who is anxious so I understand patience and how to care for smaller dogs. I currently work full time from home on the weekdays, so your dog will have plenty of attention from me! My partner is also around to help out on the weekends. I have a fenced garden and live close to fields for dog walks. Winnie loves being around other dogs but she is initally reactive due to her nature (sausage dog problems 😂), it would be great to meet beforehand to get the dogs to meet. I am happy to meet free of charge to see how they get on, I think it's important that you feel your dog is in safe hands before leaving with me.
About: My work experience is varied from small to large animals on farms, veterinary surgery livery yards and private houses, of all sizes. Loved by all I currently have no responsibility’s other than taking on other peoples pets to care for in their own home environment. There are no limits to distance or days I am free to stay as long or as short a time is required I have looked after animals in lots of various settings including very grand houses with lots of land and various types at any one time. Very confident in all environments
About: I recently obtained my Level 2 certificate in animal welfare which allows me to provide an extra level of care to your dog. My understanding of their needs is much greater since accomplishing this also due to the work experience in a busy dog day care, I was quickly brought up to speed managing up to 20 dogs! I have always been passionate about dogs ever since I became a young dog mum, I took my boarder collie dog training when I was 13 and created a fabulous bond which will last a million lifetimes! She lived well into her senior age of 18 where I met all her senior needs 🥰 Unfortunately last year she passed but I loved every minute of being a dog mum so now I'm using my passions to provide a safe and loving environment for other dogs to enjoy as a fun doggy holiday. I am always walking and hiking, I am also a self employed hair dresser which means I am often at home or not far from it. I have a huge secure garden, which is often referred to as a doggy's paradise! I live in a detached barn conversion with a 360 garden. I have an open plan house, with hard floors perfect for dogs. I live 2 minutes from a park and not far from Leicester centre.
“How pleased I was to leave Wilson for a few hours with Jade prior to a four day booking in April.Wilson was relaxed in her company and it became clear that Jade is a dog lover and understood how much Wilson means to me. I have no fears that Wilson will enjoy his longer stay in the near future so will be more than happy to use Jade when the occasion arises.”

“Adam was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. I got very lucky as my usual dog care fell through so it was quite last minute. Adam was super punctual and my dogs immediately loved him from the meet and greet. The numerous updates, photos and videos were greatly appreciated, especially as I’ve never used Rover before so was a bit nervous! Would recommend to anyone- 10/10 for service, communication, friendliness and my dogs’ happiness!”
“Eleanor was fantastic! Super lovely and clearly very good with dogs. Marley loved her straight away and is happy and tired after his 2 walks with her. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Eleanor again!”
About: *Available for last-minute bookings and regular weekday drop-ins* I’m really tuned into animals, so I focus on making them feel safe, calm and loved—not just “looked after.” I’ve got a 14-year-old Chihuahua, so I’m confident with senior care, slower walks and meds, a young cat so I’m very familiar with being politely ignored until food is involved 😄 And we've just got a Cockapoo puppy so it's fun and games at our house! My experience with puppies through to seniors over the years is with both small and large dogs, so I’m comfortable adapting to different needs, energy levels and personalities. I’m gentle, reliable and stick closely to your pet’s routine, with plenty of updates so you know your floof is happy and settled. I’m available weekdays between school drop-off and pick-up, and I plan my day around that time so pets get consistent care and attention rather than being rushed. I keep my schedule manageable so I can be fully present, and I’m happy to arrange weekends on request where possible, though availability may vary slightly as I have a 4-year-old son. I always follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and settled, whether that’s in your home or out on walks. I take the time to understand their needs, personality and any specific instructions, including feeding, walks, medication and behaviour. I keep everything calm, secure and predictable, making sure doors, gates and spaces are safe at all times. I’m attentive to any changes in behaviour and adjust my approach to suit them, and I’ll keep you updated regularly so you can feel confident they’re happy and well cared for.
“Susan is very experienced with dogs and handles my 3...one is very reactive...with ease. Susan is very caring, honest and trustworthy and I have no hesitancy recommending her services.”
About: I’ve worked with dogs for over 8 years now, in a variety of different roles including a dog handler, kennel assistant and dog walker. I own 2 dogs myself, a ridgeback/rottweiler and a Labrador retriever. I’ve also worked with various dogs of all sorts of different sizes and backgrounds and believe all dogs deserve the same love and attention. As I currently work from 4:30 to 1:30 in my main job, I’ll be able to walk your dogs during the afternoon. I will offer a meet and greet initially before walking your dog, so you can get to know me a little bit and build some trust between you and me and also your dog.
“Joss was great! He was good at being in touch and seemed to look after Percy really well. It was a huge help having him look after our pup whilst we were away sailing - thank you!”
About: Life long owner/ carer of dogs, all shapes sizes and breeds from loving Labs to terrific terriers, I provide kind care for them all! 😊 I work part-time, when I'm not at work I'm walking my own dogs usually up to 3 times a day so can easily take yours too! I offer a safe, clean cosy environment. I provide fun walks, balls included. Plenty of cuddles and love. Walks geared to the age and need.
About: I have experience caring for dogs both in my own home and in their owners’ homes. While on a gap year in Melbourne, Australia, I looked after dogs in my home while their owners were away, ensuring they felt safe, comfortable, and well cared for. More recently, I regularly care for a Cockapoo in the owner’s home while they are away, maintaining their usual routine and providing plenty of attention, walks, and companionship. I also have a lovely 10-year-old Sproodle at my family home, who I have helped care for since she was a puppy. She has given me valuable experience with the day-to-day responsibilities of owning a dog, from walks and playtime to feeding and providing lots of affection. She is very friendly and gets on well with dogs of a similar size. I genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors and love going for walks, so taking dogs out for exercise is something I look forward to rather than seeing as a chore. My aim is always to make every dog feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while giving owners complete peace of mind. I also have had cats ever since I was born so I am used to caring for them, including feeding, litter care, and providing affection. Further experience comes from my job. I work in home care, where tasks regularly involve caring for our customers’ pets, particularly cats and dogs. I am a Nursing student, however I am on break until October so work part time in home care. My hours are flexible so I can fit in visits around pet care, depending on how long they can be left alone and how much attention they require. I always aim to make pets feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible by keeping to their usual routine. Before any booking, I like to learn about their feeding schedule, walking routine, favourite toys, any medications, and anything else that helps them feel at home. In my own home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where dogs receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and cuddles. I never leave dogs alone for long periods and make sure they have fresh water, regular toilet breaks, and lots of company throughout the day. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I follow all instructions carefully, keep the home tidy, and make sure pets receive the same level of care and attention they’re used to. I know how important it is for owners to feel reassured while they’re away, so I’m always happy to send regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is getting on.
About: I used to run a boarding and walking business with my mum which I really loved but we recently had to close due to her relocating I now do this full time so I am always available and will often never leave the dogs unattended for any amount of time, unless you are happy for the dog to be left alone. I have water bowls and some pet supplies left over from when me and mum were boarding. I have recently moved onto a canal boat, it’s a wide beam with plenty of space and all amenities you’d expect of a house, the grounds in the marina are great for dogs and there are plenty of footpaths and walking routes near by.
About: Have been around dogs all my life, have recently helped my sister look after a few lovely pooches from this app, it was well fun! Currently taking some time out of work, meaning I’m available 24/7. Looking for some furry companions to help me get back out into nature. When visiting the owners home I would take notes on whatever specific details about the pet I need to note down, making sure to note the areas the dog is allowed within the house as well as the obvious toilet and food requirements.
About: I am a qualified vet nurse and have 19 years of experience studying and working with dogs/cats/rabbits and other animals. I am trustworthy and have the medical knowledge to know what to do in an emergency I work part time as a veterinary nurse and I fit my pet sitting visits around this.dog walking I would be available Thursdays/fridays/saturdays and sundays I offer in -home visits only for cats and dogs but will board rabbits/guniea pigs/small rodents and reptiles in their own cages.whatever is required of me by the owner I will have the knowledge ,understanding and medical care to achieve
About: I have had animals in my home since I was 8 years old. I have two very loving 13 year old cats and a 6 year old Labrador. I have also had experience with other people’s pets over a long period of time, gaining experience with a range of breeds, sizes and ages of pets. I am currently a final year student at Loughborough University, so my timetable is very flexible during the week, with lots of time to be at your house or pop in for a toilet break or company. I have many years experience with looking after both cats and dogs. I am very able to deal with different breeds, energy levels and sizes.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life, primarily adopted. From Collies to German Shepherds and Jack Russell’s. I’ve cared for them all from young until old. I also have experience with reptiles and small mammals. I have a lot of time on my hands at the moment and would love to be able to care for your pets. I love going on long walks, particularly places like Outwoods or Watermead. I have a car so I’m happy to come to you or take your dog out somewhere nice. I work from home, with my work schedule being quite flexible to my needs. As such I can tailor my day around different priorities, like pet care. I would be attentive, making sure they know I’m receptive to their needs, whether that’s letting them out in the garden regularly or feeding them. Playing with their toys and interacting regularly.
About: What sets me apart is how much genuine care and attention I give to every pet I look after. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Although I don’t have formal professional experience, I’ve grown up around dogs through my family, so I’m confident handling different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I also have experience caring for rabbits, which has taught me patience, gentle handling, and the importance of paying close attention to behaviour and routine. I’m very reliable and organised with my time around college and work, so I can be flexible while still making sure pets get consistent care and attention. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions closely, whether that’s for feeding, walks, or general routines. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure owners feel reassured with regular updates and photos while they’re away. Pet care fits really well into my daily routine. I’m currently at college, which means I have several gaps throughout the day that I can dedicate to dog walks, check-ins, or spending time with pets. I also have fairly flexible evenings and mostly free weekends, so I’m able to offer consistent care and give pets the time and attention they need. I work part-time alongside this, but I plan my schedule carefully to make sure any pets I’m looking after are always prioritised and not left alone for long periods. I enjoy being active and getting outdoors, so dog walking fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to adapt to each pet’s usual schedule as much as possible. When caring for pets, I always focus on making them feel as comfortable and secure as possible, whether they’re in my home or their own. In a pet owner’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine including feeding times, walks, and any specific instructions so pets feel settled and stress-free in their familiar environment. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship, and I always keep the home clean and respected. I also keep owners updated with regular messages and photos, so they can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I'm a dedicated animal lover who treats every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to understand each pet's individual personality and routine so they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. I'm patient with nervous pets, attentive to senior animals, and happy to care for energetic puppies and kittens. Whether it's playtime, walks, feeding, medication (if needed), or plenty of cuddles, I always provide reliable, loving care and keep owners updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. My work is very flexible and work from home for bits which gives me plenty of time to take care of your pets when they need walking, giving them attention and playing with them, letting them out for potty and feeding them. I listen to what you do in your home and respect those boundaries that are set up example pets not allowed on furniture I will respect those rules.
About: I’ve had dogs of my own for 30 years , and was a puppy walker for Guide Dogs for The Blind. Only finishing puppy walking when one of our dogs was withdrawn and came back home.

About: Hi there!👋 I’m Punsara, a dog/cat/any animal lover and friend!💗💗💗 I love all animals! I have dog sat my aunts and boyfriends dog and maybe spent too much time with my boyfriends cockapoo! I enjoy walking and running and wouldn’t mind a paw-some pal to come join me or just a friend to chill with! I’d love to care for your pet and find a new best friend!🐕💗🐈 Legend says that I’m a student but I really am free 24/7! 🤭 Especially since I’ll be taking a gap year this year, I’ll really be flexible to you and your needs!🌈✨ The garden is always fenced off and I always supervise them when they’re in the garden! My aunts dog was quite timid with other dogs so often I keep her on lead and only really let her socialise with dogs her size or smaller if I could tell she was comfortable. But if the park was free and I’d let her off. Sometimes I’d go running with her just to get her legs moving a bit more! My boyfriend’s cockapoo on the other hand enjoys a running competition maybe a bit too much which often leads to her getting the well known zoomies when another dog challenges her. Her energy can be a lot sometimes but that makes it so fun! 🌟🌟💫🌟🌟

“Dougie loved his holiday with Kathryn and family, this was his first proper time away from us and couldn’t have picked a better sitter for Dougie. Kept informed everyday of his activities and plenty of videos and pictures as well , would recommend Kathryn and family to anyone looking for somewhere safe and loving for your dog. Tom 🙂”
“Jade was absolutely amazing with my dog Logan, a very energetic Staffordshire bull terrier! He can be a bit full on when you first meet him, but Jade handled his energy with ease and made him feel right at home. She kept in great contact leading up to his stay and throughout his visit, sending a lovely video and some adorable photos that showed me he was settling in well. Even though it was just 2 days, I could tell Logan was really well looked after. I'll definitely be booking with Jade again- Highly recommended!”
“Liga provided the perfect home for our dog, Jack, while we were away for 2 days. He has very specific dietary needs and she was meticulous following them even with other dogs to care for as well. Her communication was stellar and Jack had an amazing time. Would absolutely recommend her as a dog sitter/boarding.”
“First time for my dog Amba staying overnight with Steph and her husband. Communication was great and I received some lovely pics and updates. Amba had a great time.”
About: I have a 9 year old black Labrador who is the family pet and have been helping my mum with doggy day care and dog boarding for over 2 years now. We’ve looked after dogs all shapes and sizes over the years ranging from puppies to mastiffs. The dogs tend to use me for my bed and cuddles! I’m currently looking for a full time remote/hybrid job after travelling for 6 months so will have plenty of time for your pups. I’m available for dog sitting and walking every day of the week at the moment. I’m very used to looking after dogs with different needs in our house and can easily accommodate for your dogs needs in the comfort of their own home.
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was a teenager, regularly walking and helping to care for my family dog from the age of 14. Since then I've had plenty of hands-on experience with dogs of different ages, personalities and energy levels. I now have my own young dog, so I'm very familiar with puppy and adolescent energy, training, enrichment and keeping curious dogs entertained! I absolutely love spending time with dogs and I'm happy to follow their individual routines around feeding, walks, play and downtime to help them feel comfortable and at home. I work from home full-time, so I'm around throughout the day to provide plenty of company, attention and toilet breaks. I already structure my day around my own dog's routine, including regular walks, playtime and enrichment. I'm available for boarding, daycare, walks and drop-in visits throughout the week, with availability shown on my calendar. I have a fenced garden and a friendly young dog who loves the company of other dogs. I only accept one household's pets at a time, so your dog will get plenty of individual attention. We're also just a minutes' walk from a grassy park, perfect for daily fetch. I have multiple rooms available, so dogs can have their own space when needed, and I'm happy to follow their usual routine around feeding, walks, sleeping and crate use.
“Bella was so happy here and made herself at home very quickly. Definitely recommend, a very chilled and calm environment. Bella stayed for two days and enjoyed her little break away.”
“Leaving Simba with Fozia was the best experience ever. I was a little concerned about leaving Simba because Fozia has her own dog. The first day was all about them getting to know each other, but after that they became the best of friends! Fozia kept us updated throughout Simba’s stay with clear messages and lots of photos, which was absolutely amazing. We missed Simba so much, and seeing those pictures really reassured us that he was happy, relaxed, and being so well looked after. It put our minds completely at ease. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Simba with Fozia again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy to look after their dog. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our boy 🥰🙏”
“It was a great relief leaving Ragnar with Steven, it’s the first time we have left him with anyone who isn’t family but I felt totally at ease. I got regular updates and pics, I would highly recommend him. He looked after our boy like he was their own.”
“I honestly can’t say enough good things about Jessica! We were a little nervous after a previous experience, but she was so understanding and instantly put us at ease. Ozzy has had the absolute best time with her – and he can definitely be a handful! Jessica and her partner were amazing with him, and we loved getting plenty of updates and lovely photos. It was so clear to see that our boy had the best stay. We’ll always book with Jessica from now on – highly recommend!”
“Jimmy was fantastic, great communication, he even collected Roxy and dropped her off which was outstanding service, Roxy seemed to love him at first sight, I would highly recommend Jimmy to anyone and I’ll definitely use him again, thank you so much.”
“Tarnya and her family are amazing, my choccie lab was so happy when I collected her, infact I think she would have been happy to have stayed longer. The love and care they showed during her stay was unconditional, long walks, lots of play and cuddles and regular photo updates. She even had a wash and blow dry during her stay :). A home from home experience, I would 100% revommend and will be using again in the future. Thank you Tarnya and family xx”
“We honestly couldn't recommend Polly enough! She looked after our dog Lilly for a week while we were away on holiday, and from the very beginning she was friendly, polite and incredibly welcoming. We had an unexpected issue with our holiday booking which meant we had to bring our holiday forward by a day. Polly was absolutely brilliant and was more than happy to accommodate the change and take Lilly in a day earlier, which took a huge amount of stress off us. Throughout Lilly's stay, Polly listened to everything we asked and followed our requests perfectly. It was clear that Lilly was well looked after, comfortable and treated as one of the family. Communication was great, and we felt completely at ease knowing Lilly was in good hands. Thank you so much, Polly, for looking after Lilly and for being so understanding and accommodating, especially with the last-minute change. We wouldn't hesitate to use you again and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their dog! 🐾❤️”
“Such a gem of a boarder, used Abbie for the first time recently and she instantly filled us with confidence. We have a pet whose fairly specific with her needs and Abbie was super accommodating of it all and our dog seemed to be very comfortable with her. We have already rebooked Abbie for an upcoming trip. Highly recommend!”

“We couldn't have found a better person to look after our furry friend! He was well looked after, walked a lot and bonded with the family instantly, especially the youngest member! We got many updates and pictures which put our minds at ease, and we were sure our dog was in capable hands. He came back happy and healthy and we couldn't be more grateful for the care and love he received while we were away.”
“Great sitter, highly recommend. Very friendly, reliable asked plenty of questions on prior meet up to get to know Lucky more. They took Lucky on plenty of walks each day. She hurt her paw at some point on a walk but Laura kept us updated on how she was doing and rested it up for her and bathed it. Really nice family and lovely home. Lucky made herself comfortable and they send pictures also if you'd like them whilst your away. Will definitely book again :D xx”
