“Stan has just had another holiday with Millie, he adores her! Millie is so attentive to Stan’s needs (& quirks!) she administers his medication, as an older boy, she happily goes with the flow regarding his walks (he can refuse sometimes ☺️) we feel so relaxed leaving him with her as she treats him like her own, which means the world to us. He equally loves his holidays with her & always returns home a very happy boy. Thank you Millie for being so wonderful with our boy x”
“I can't thank Chloe enough for taking good care of my cat. Chloe was very easy to communicate with, we had to change times and dates due to me moving house too and she really helped and was very flexible. I was constantly updated on how my cat was settling and really nice pictures. Made me happy and I could just relax knowing she was being well care for. Will 100% book again!!”
“Molly recently had her trial day with Ann and her husband and loved being with them. Ann’s attention to detail with Mollys routine was exceptional and she came home a happy little doggy. Her next stay is already booked and I know I can go on holiday feeling reassured she will get the best love and care that she does at home. Thanks both.”
“Highly recommended dog sitters. Laurie had our whippet over the weekend and he loved his stay. He was very relaxed and happy when we collected him. We received updates and videos on his walks.”
“Rebecca was brilliant with Twiglet! Went above and beyond to ensure she was happy and well fed! Thank you for everything Rebecca! Also enjoyed seeing the pictures throughout of Twiglet playing with Rebecca's dog!”
“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.”
“This was our first time using a dog sitter, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the start, communication was great, and we got daily updates with pictures and videos of him playing with the other dogs — that put us at ease knowing he was enjoying himself. He came home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Karina is obviously an animal lover and took good care of my cat. She sent regular updates and reached out to ask about his habits etc. When we went to pick him up he seemed very comfortable and confident in his holiday home. Thanks”
About: I am happiest when with dogs, they really are man’s best friend. I am always pottering in the garden when it’s nice, or reading by the fire when it’s not! We also have lovely woods to walk in nearby. I have had dogs for as long as I can remember, but no longer have my own. I am retired and love spending time with dogs. We live in the beautiful Burghley estate so are truly spoilt for walking spots. I am up early to feed the chickens and more often than not, tending to my garden. Would be happy to have some canine company. I have a fully dog proofed garden with large lawn and plenty of space to explore. We have a long driveway, and gate, not that many cars come this way! We walk a minute to beautiful wooded areas
“Simon had our 2 dogs for a weekend and it was like a home from home for them! Both dogs were walked, fed and loved just like they would have been at home! We received lots of photos and updates of 2 very happy dogs!! Would definitely use Simon again, amazing pet sitter.”
“Mango had the best time and was well looked after. We received updates and pictures and if dogs could smile Mango certainly was! The setup is perfect for dogs with a secure fence and perfect for dog walks. It made us feel a little less guilty for having a night away without her. We could relax knowing she was in safe hands. Would definitely recommend and will be rebooking in the future if we are in the area.”
“Shaun and his family looked after my dog so well - he had a wonderful time. They are very caring and they were very happy to walk and play with my dog. I am very grateful and I will certainly be calling on them again. Thank you!”
“Victoria was great. We had an initial pre-meet and great, and opportunity to discuss Tangos needs. Following this she was happy to board. Tango spent a week with Victoria and when we picked him up he was of course happy to see us. But importantly he was also happy to run back to Victoria and this is telling he was looked after well. Thank you Victoria. I recommend.”
“I don't like leaving our dog anywhere really but I did feel confident that he was in safe and caring hands leaving him at Tara's. I received pictures and videos of him whilst we were away and it was great to see him enjoying himself. Thank you!”
“Cordelia did an amazing job looking after our dog, Hera. It’s the first time we’ve left her with anyone and as a rescue dog I was especially apprehensive of leaving her anywhere, but I needn’t have worried, Hera had the absolute best time with Cordelia and her dogs. It was brilliant to receive photos and lovely updates and we will be rebooking next time we go away, we’d recommend Cordelia in a heartbeat.”

“Angie recently looked after our two cats for the first time and she was great. The cats were well looked after and we're clearly happy and relaxed around her. She took the time to play with them each visit, and she left everything spotlessly clean and tidy. She sent us regular updates, including photos and videos. We would highly recommend her!”
About: DBS checked. I provide reliable, home based dog care in your home or mine, including sitting, boarding, daycare, and walking, tailored to each dog’s individual needs. I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes from a young age, with experience ranging from newborn puppies and energetic young dogs to older dogs requiring a calmer, more attentive approach. I hold a Level 3 CPD Award in Veterinary Support Assistance, with training in animal handling, first aid, health awareness, and emergency situations, allowing me to prioritise safety and wellbeing in every booking. Dogs in my care benefit from a calm, structured environment with access to quiet walking routes and open countryside, ideal for both exercise and relaxed time. Experienced with active dogs who enjoy longer countryside walks and consistent outdoor exercise throughout the year. Confident handling high energy breeds who require structured exercise and stimulation. I work fulltime in a professional role and bring that same reliability, organisation, and communication to my dog care. Owners can expect consistency, regular updates, and a dependable service they can trust. I’m particularly suited to owners looking for regular, longterm care or a safe, stable home environment while they are away. I plan my day around the needs of the dogs in my care. I provide consistent care throughout the day, including morning walks, daytime exercise and stimulation, and evening wind-down time. I’m flexible and adjust my routine depending on each dog’s usual schedule and energy levels. My focus is on keeping routines as familiar and stress free as possible so dogs feel settled and comfortable during their stay. Whether in my home or yours, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured environment where dogs can relax and feel secure. I ensure all spaces are safe, clean, and free from hazards, and I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding, walking, and any medication requirements. Dogs are always supervised and kept secure during walks, with careful attention to their behaviour and surroundings. I also provide regular updates so owners can feel confident and reassured while they are away.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and have always been a big animal lover. I always am first to volunteer to look after family & friends dogs - I have a lot of love to give! I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement, which I use to help dogs feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s energetic puppies who need structure or older dogs who need gentler care, I know how to adapt to their needs. Having raised two dogs of my own with my parents, I treat every pup as if they’re family ◡̈ Right now, I do work a 8.30-5 Mon-Fri job, however I can give your pets plenty of time and attention when I am not working whether that be in the evenings or at weekends. I love spending time with animals, please message me if you would like my help and we can discuss! Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or longer visits, I can be there when you and your pets need me most. I’m more than happy to look after your pets in the comfort of their home. This way, they can stay in a familiar environment and keep to their usual routine. I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise with walks in their local area, along with playtime, cuddles, feeding, and anything else they need to feel safe and happy while you’re away.
“I can’t recommend Gabriella enough, she is incredible! Milo is elderly and arthritic, so it made such a difference having someone with veterinary nursing experience caring for him. She quickly recognised when he was becoming uncomfortable on his walk and adapted immediately by using his pram, which showed such great understanding and compassion for his condition. She also gave me really helpful diet and nutritional advice, and I felt completely reassured knowing that if anything seemed off with Milo, she would recognise it straight away and know exactly what to do. Her knowledge around illness, medication and senior dog care really sets her apart from a standard pet sitter. Milo was so well cared for, I received frequent photos and updates and I’ll definitely be using her again. Highly recommend! ⭐❤️”
“First time we have used the Rover app for looking after our two cats and couldn’t recommend Oscar enough. Loved getting photos while we were away. I think Theo was gutted when we got home!”
About: I’m Reese, 19 and absolutely adore animals, cats in particular! I own 3 cats ages 3-12 and I have had cats my whole life! I currently work in education so am looking for a small job doing something I love on the side! I have a full DBS check as I currently work in education. I can also drive and have a car so happy to travel wherever!
About: As a dog handler in the Army, I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of breeds, each with their own unique personalities and characteristics. My passion for understanding animal behavior has led me to pursue extensive education in the field, including achieving a Level 3 animal care and welfare assistant certification for working dogs, as well as a Level 3 diploma in canine care, behaviour, and welfare. I have two lovely dogs myself and I can assure you your loving member will get the same experience when they stay with me. My dogs come first and routine, enrichment, walks and lots of fuss is a must ! I do currently work full time but with work being round the corner I am able to check with them frequently. Mondays I start later, Wednesdays and Friday I finish earlier. I come home on lunches to walk my own dog for toilet breaks and as I would with any dogs I look after. When I’m at work, dogs will get walked in the morning before I go to work (45mins - 1hour), lunchtime (10-15mins) and in the afternoon (30mins-1hour) I also do one last time about 2000 in the evening as my dog doesn’t always toilet in the back garden. I do my best to stick to this routine just so they are settled in the house. I always give my own dog enrichment when I leave the house. If there’s no issues with resource guarding I can do this too. This can be discussed further on meets or over message. I live in the country side with a lot of safe places to walk the dogs. Plenty of open areas. I have fenced back garden and a friendly dog. I love providing my dog with a structured routine so you can be assured that your furry member will be treated the same.
About: We have previously had cats, patch who lived for over 20 years. We regularly look after and visit feed and clean up after my adult children’s pet cats whilst they are on holiday. Providing drop in visits, feeds, cleaning of litter trays, playtime and cuddles. Available for mornings, afternoons and evenings catering to you and your fur babies needs. We will carry out a free of charge pre visit to ensure we are providing the best care tailored to your needs.
About: I am currently looking after a dog for a friend on a weekly basis, often going to the park, looking after him overnight, and sometimes day trips. I have raised my family dog since he was a puppy, so am fully aware of what that entails. When I go back home, I walk and take care of him. I live with my boyfriend who has had cats in the past, so I am used to having them in the house and how to take care of them. With this, I have lots of experience of walking, feeding, bathing, and keeping pets happy! I'm currently working from home full-time, so can look after pets at any time! My hours are also very flexible so I'm able to go for walks during my working day. I live in a flat, with a secure back garden that is fenced in. The front door to the flat block is always kept locked. I am happy to do whatever is needed to keep your pet safe and happy!
“Dilsathnisha was so kind and attentive to my two cats during the week. She sent lovely updates and was responsive with messages too. I felt relaxed and comfortable leaving my cats with her and would definitely book again!”
About: I’ve mostly had dogs and other pets growing up but I love all animals and recently started looking after my neighbours cat whenever they needed. I quickly grew fond of his playful and affectionate personality and have loved cats ever since!
About: I’ve been involved with animals ever since I can remember! From owning 3 horses and 2 beloved rescue dogs! I know how to adapt and change to each animal understanding not all of them are the same. I am also a qualified nurse so from my animal experience and nursing experience I’ve learnt how to communicate with both owner and animal. I work as an nurse as hoc and have enjoyed taking a break from the hospital!! And I have a wide range of availability and will most likely be free! I can communicate effectively with you the owner to understand where your pet is allowed. From owning two rescue dogs I’m also aware of certain dogs being afraid or aggressive to other dogs so I would walk on other side of the path to keep dogs away. I have had a huge experience around poorly pets- My current rescue has to have regular medication including injections and eye drops, I have also had experience with strokes amongst dogs and post operative care. My being a vet has enabled me to pick up critical information for dealing with emergency’s and the general health and well being of animals. I am also aware that dogs love company and like other dogs so I’m suited to all pet needs. I also give great cuddles and I seem to have a good track record with pets and they seem to always want more! I have plenty of time to play with your pups or cats due to being a newly graduate from university. I am available weekdays, weekends and all times of the day. I will ensure your dog remains in eye contact to make sure there’s no escapes. My sister is a qualified vet and my experience and knowledge of emergency care has grown from her. I will have your vets contact number in my phone before any visit/sitting.

About: I’ve had experience with a variety of dogs throughout childhood, but have raised labradors from puppies in my adult life. Whilst having the opportunity to be at home through the week, the biggest thing I can offer you is my time and dedication; I love all breeds and no requirement is too small. Please feel free to get in touch, even if just for a chat! My long term plans involve completing my studies to become a mental health practitioner, so I have a lot of home availability and wanted to fill my time with something that I’m really passionate about. I have a fenced garden, security cameras and a friendly Labrador to keep your dog company and entertained! I’m always attentive to making sure Toby is fed, has access to water bowls, and acknowledging communication and signals for their biological needs and play schedules! Very happy to do a meet and greet to see how you, and perhaps most importantly, your dog feels in our environment!
“Carl looked after Conan on 04.12.23 whilst I was away with work. We met up before the day for initial introductions and agreed that he would visit Conan at home several times across the day. He connected well with Conan and was able to give him a morning run and fuss and an afternoon walk and put down his dinner. He sent me photos of the activities across the day. Would recommend as an excellent dog carer and will be using him again.”

When pets stay in my home, I provide a calm, comfortable and friendly environment. I live on a 500 acre estate with lots of surrounding fields and countryside, giving dogs plenty of opportunities for walks and exercise.

“Having picked up Hetty after her first doggy day care session with Victoria, we feel reassured that we made the right decision to try doggy day care and to choose Victoria. Thanks for the photos 🙂”
About: Having grown up surrounded by dogs, cats and horses, I understand that they’re more than just pets; they’re cherished members of the family and bring so much joy and happiness. I understand the importance of quality care, compassion and providing a home-from-home experience for your dog. From Dalmatians to dachshunds, every dog is treated with love, kindness and care. I currently have a gorgeous red fox Labrador X vizsla called ‘Hera’, she’s incredibly friendly and loves nothing more than having a playmate for all of our adventures! I’m active and love nothing more than being outside exploring, and I’m fortunate enough to work from home, with a very flexible schedule (allowing for lots of walks and ‘garden zoomies!’ Your dogs comfort, routine and happiness is my top priority and I’m dedicated to accommodating their every requirement.

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for all manner of animals, I provide home-from-home care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I’m skilled in administering medication and always treat any pets in my care as if they were my own. I will always follow your pets’ routines in your absence, in order help them feel safe and secure. I’m accustomed to caring for animals of all ages; from the very young to the more senior, I love them all and their gorgeous unique personalities. I thoroughly enjoy making connections with my furry friends and their owners alike. I have many returning clients and go above and beyond to ensure both your pets and you are completely satisfied with all the services I provide. I have received many five star wonderful reviews from pet owners over the years. One of my greatest pleasures is walking in nature with the dogs in my care; whether it’s a woodland adventure or a splash by the water, I offer diverse walks for your fur babies to enjoy, that include opportunities for socialisation with other dogs and humans. I am home full time as I have an online tutoring business working with students around the world. This enables me to be very focused on the animals in my care throughout the day as my lessons are spread out across the working week. My home is ideally set up to care for your fur babies. I have a large enclosed garden perfect for your fur babies to run around in; they have full access to the garden as they desire as my back door is rarely closed. I have crates, should your pet need crating or you may of course provide your own. I adhere strictly to any special requirements you have regarding the care of your pet. I also have my own private walking field where all dogs are safe to run freely.
“Justin was excellent with Vinny. Vinny really took to him on their meet and greet. This is a great app with photos and updates of the walks. I wouldn't hesitate to use Justin again.”
“Today Oscar visited us again, my dogs recognised him immediately and were very happy of seeing him again. This time after walking my 2 boxers together he also helped me to teach them how to use a special stair for the car boot which I have recently purchased. I can tell that the whole experience was very positive. I learn a lot from Oscar every time on how to interact with my dogs, how to create an easy going environment for the future. Visibly he has a wealth of knowledge on training dogs and control them with kindness, calmness and good energy.”
About: I have always had a strong love for animals, especially dogs, as I grew up surrounded by lots of different pets. Being around animals from a young age has helped me develop a natural understanding of how to care for them, be patient with them, and make sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable. My experience as a dog sitter is something I really enjoy because I love spending time with dogs and getting to know their individual personalities and needs. I understand the importance of giving them plenty of attention, exercise, fresh air and companionship while their owners are away. One of my favourite parts of dog sitting is taking dogs out for walks. I enjoy giving them the opportunity to explore, exercise and have fun, while also benefiting from being outdoors myself. Going for regular walks with a dog helps me stay active and supports my own health and wellbeing, making it something that I find both enjoyable and rewarding. Overall, looking after dogs is something I am passionate about. Growing up with pets, combined with my experience caring for animals, has taught me to be responsible, caring and attentive. I would always treat someone else's dog with the same care and respect that I would give to my own pets. Working from home allows me to provide dogs with the attention, care and companionship they need throughout the day. Because I work remotely, I have the flexibility to take regular breaks to feed them, let them outside, give them attention and take them out for walks. Being at home also means dogs are not left alone for long periods of time, which can help them feel more comfortable and settled. I can easily fit walks and playtime around my working schedule while still making sure my work commitments are met. I really enjoy being around dogs while I work, and I believe my home-based routine is ideal for dog sitting. It allows me to give each dog plenty of care and attention while providing a safe, calm and loving environment for them. Although my garden is on the smaller side, it is fully fenced and provides a safe and secure space for dogs to have regular toilet breaks and get some fresh air throughout the day. I understand that the garden is not intended to replace proper walks and exercise, but it is a convenient and secure space for quick toilet breaks whenever needed. I also live next to a beautiful bank and walking area, which is perfect for giving dogs plenty of exercise and outdoor stimulation. I regularly take my family’s dog there for walks and really enjoy spending time outdoors with him. The area provides a lovely environment for dogs to explore, get some exercise and enjoy their surroundings. Having both a secure garden and such a beautiful walking area nearby means I can provide dogs with regular toilet breaks, exercise and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.
About: Experienced and reliable dog carer with a strong background in both independent and structured settings. Previously ran a successful dog-walking service and also I’ve spent the past three years pet-sitting and working with dogs across Asia, Australia, Central America, and South America. My experience includes caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs, as well as hands-on work in dog shelters in Mexico and Australia. Confident in handling multiple dogs, maintaining routines, and ensuring each animal receives attentive, individual care. Working full-time ( mon- fri) with a remote job, the job is not very demanding and doesn’t need me at my desk the whole time so in between tasks I can play around and let them out for a potty break. I care for pets in the owner’s home by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, keeping feeding times, walks, play, and rest consistent to reduce stress. I make sure they feel comfortable in their own environment by giving them attention, exercise, and mental stimulation suited to their personality and energy levels. I keep the home clean and organised, follow any specific instructions closely, and monitor their health and behaviour throughout. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pet is safe, settled, and well cared for in their absence.
About: I'M BACK! After taking 6 months off to breed and train my next generation of Rhodesian Ridgebacks, I am happy to say that I am available again! I own two dogs, one cat and two horses, some of whom you can see on my profile! I would definitely say that I am an animal person haha! Over the years, I have learnt dog training skills such as how to remedy a dog who pulls on the lead or jumps up. I am experienced in administering medication for both dogs and cats and can even bathe them for you if needed! I am more than happy to do drop-ins for cats to feed and top up their water when needed if you don’t need me to stay over night! If you have any other small pets, I'm more than happy and experienced in looking after them for you whilst you're away (I grew up with mice, rabbits and Giant African Snails)! If you have horses, there is no need to put them into livery either, as I can look after them too when you go away! A bit about myself: I work from home which fits in great with dog sitting, as all I have to do is remember to bring my laptop with me! Don't worry, your pets will get plenty of exercise, socialisation and of course lots of love and care with me! Working from home means I am able to be around your pets all day, as long as I remember to bring my laptop with me! Our home has a fully secure terraced garden with 6ft+ old stone walls, so there is no escaping! We have many wonderful walks on our doorstep and our house location is quiet and safe. We take the dogs on secure, off-road country walks, and especially enjoy going for walks in the woods!
“Ana met our Jack Russell/Staffy cross, Brian, this week for the first time and then took him out for a couple of walks. It was obvious immediately that she's comfortable around dogs and we were confident that he was in good hands as it takes Brian time to trust new people. Ana worked with this and came up with helpful suggestions for walk no 2 that proved successful. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Ana to others and we hope to book her again soon : )”
About: I have over 15 years of personal experience caring for my own dogs, alongside 3 years of professional experience running my own freelance dog walking and house sitting business. My professional experience started by looking after the dogs and homes of family friends and naturally grew through word of mouth, eventually building up to around 10 regular clients. I ran the business alongside working full time, providing dog walks and house sitting in my spare time. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, breeds, shapes and sizes, and I’m confident adapting to each dog’s individual personality, routine and needs. I also have experience caring for dogs requiring additional support. My own dog recovered from back surgery, and I provided her medication and physiotherapy throughout her recovery, giving me valuable hands on experience with rehabilitation and dogs needing extra patience and care. I’m now focusing on dog walking and pet care full time, meaning I have excellent availability and can dedicate my time to providing the best possible care for your pets. I’m also able to offer pet sitting at my home, where I live on a 500 acre estate with lots of beautiful fields and countryside surrounding the house, making it an excellent area for dog walking and exploring. I have a friendly Cocker Spaniel of my own who loves meeting new dogs and making new friends. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a gentle stroll, daytime care, overnight sitting or a home from home stay, I’ll provide reliable, attentive and loving care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pet, and I’ll treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. Pet care is now my main focus, so I have excellent availability throughout the week. I’m able to fit walks, drop-in visits and house sitting around each dog’s individual routine and needs. I also offer pet sitting at my home, where I have plenty of space and countryside to enjoy. I’m flexible with timings and can give your dog the time, attention and care they need. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual routine, personality and needs. In an owner’s home, I keep to their usual routine as closely as possible, including walks, feeding, playtime, medication and plenty of company. When pets stay in my home, I provide a calm, comfortable and friendly environment. I live on a 500 acre estate with lots of surrounding fields and countryside, giving dogs plenty of opportunities for walks and exercise. I also have a friendly Cocker Spaniel who loves meeting new dogs. Most importantly, I make sure every pet feels safe, settled and well cared for while they’re with me.
About: Save £30 on your first booking with my promo code ZOEC43917! Just enter it at checkout to claim your discount. I have experience looking after dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior pets and those who are a little more nervous. My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, relaxed, and comfortable in their own environment while sticking as closely as possible to their usual routine. I take the time to get to know each pet and their individual needs, whether that’s taking things a little slower on walks, keeping to a structured routine, or giving extra care and patience to older or more anxious pets. Occasionally, my partner will join me during a house sit to keep me (and the pets!) company. If that isn’t something you’re comfortable with, or you think it wouldn’t suit your pet, just let me know beforehand and I’m more than happy to work around it. While you’re away, I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well looked after. I always make sure they get plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and affection, so they feel settled until you’re home again. I’m reliable, punctual, and genuinely love caring for animals. I’ll always treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect as if they were my own. I am currently working and studying from home so I am available for all pet needs and services. Caring for pets is already apart of my daily routine having many pets myself. I’m able to care for pets both in my own home and in the pet owner’s home, depending on what is most comfortable for the pet and preferred by the owner. When caring for pets in the owner’s home, I aim to keep their routine as normal as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, playtime, and any specific instructions such as medication. I also make sure the home is left clean and secure, and I provide regular updates with photos so the owner has peace of mind. When caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment. I ensure they have a comfortable space, follow their usual feeding routine, and give them plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel relaxed and cared for during their stay. In both cases, my priority is always the pet’s wellbeing, comfort, and safety.
About: Have had cats growing up and was absolutely obsessed with them. I have looked after a few of my friends dogs and work in a dog friendly pub, seemingly becoming just obsessed with dogs! I always seem to remember the dogs but not the humans, whoops! I’m currently changing my career to have a life I love. Cats and cute dogs have to be involved! I work as a Pilates instructor and seem to be free during the day- a time when doggos or kitty kats need that little bit of attention and love. I live in a terrace house with a garden. The front of my house looks onto a big green, which tends to be the neighbours dog walking spot! I can’t wait to join them!
About: I have had various pets growing up - a dog since I was 11. I previously worked for a dog kennels, walking the dogs and helping with feeding and cleaning. Prior to using Rover, I had lots of experience looking after neighbours and friends dogs whilst they were away. I currently work freelance from home so have a flexible schedule. I like to travel but in between travelling I’m always eager to help with dog walking, drop in visits or home stays. I currently can’t offer home boarding at my own home as I live with my family’s pets, but hope to open this up again in the future. I always adapt to each pet/owner, when it comes to eating and daily routines, as I understand everyone and every dog is different. I will treat your dog with as much love and care as if they were my own. I care massively about the welfare and happiness of every animal I meet ❤️
About: Hi, my name is Sim, I'm 25 years old, I work full time but on shifts so I have a range of availability based upon my shift patterns. I've got experience in sitting and walking different breeds, and I'm a big breed lover having my own 3 at home! (3 German shepherds!) Currently I do occasionally dog sit for friends and family, typically their dogs stay over with my 3 dogs who love having friends over! So what sets me apart from other walkers and sitters? Well, I love dogs, I've had 5 years of experience (on and off), all my dogs have been adopted and rehomed - so I've worked with a variety of different dogs with different needs. Recently fostering a dog for 3 months and got her trained up before she went to her new home which she's succeeding in! I own a car so I'm happy to travel. And with your permission if you leave your dog with me over night or for a few days, I can take them to locations such as the Peak District to get some quality time in, otherwise to the local parks and nature reserves. 😁 I do have a really big garden which is fenced off. If we require use of a create then we can encourage that with your dog, we just request to provide a bed or item that your dog is currently familiar with to keep in the crate if crate time is required, we want to keep the environment as familiar as possible to help reduce anxiety. My house has multiple cameras situated throughout the property, inside and outside for peace of mind. I work full time but I work different shifts weekly but I know what I'm working well in advance, and I have my partner to lend a hand. Large garden fenced off, cameras around the house and the outside the house so we have eyes on the property at all times. But someone will always be home.
About: I’ve had dogs since the age of 2. I’ve dog sat for my friends, auntie, and new clients through Rover. Including, walking, feeding, grooming/bathing, playing, etc. I’m a loving dog mum who’s done tonnes of researching on various breed fulfilment. I enjoy researching about the needs of various breeds and will cater to your doggo. I’ve done various dogs trust training classes with my pups as well as working with a private award winning dog trainer. I love to meet up prior to providing services to get to know both owner and dogs, this way I create a great relationship and learn more about your pet directly… especially if they are quirky like mine! 😁 Currently my schedule is wide open. I’m undergoing an online course that can be completed in my own time. On the weekend, generally I wake up early, play some games with my dogs, they nap, then we go for a walk, I feed them and then do some training, and finally bedtime. I love to take them hiking or swimming or to a private dog park to do some agility too. I have plenty of spare crates and a fenced off garden that the dogs can run around and play in. If our dogs don’t get along which can sometimes happen, I have a separate household that can take care of mine whilst I take care of your dog(s). Although this is dependent on the timescale, I’m willing to compromise. I have plenty of enrichment games such as snuffle mats, food dispenser games, dog treat puzzles and various toys. So your dog will not be bored!
About: I have cat sitted several times over the last few years for other owners and thoroughly enjoy it! I have also dog sitted and walked dogs of all sizes. I offer services from dog and also cat boarding to drop in visits/house sitting and dog walking. I have a family pet cat who I adore so much! I adopted Milo since he was 10 weeks old and he always makes me smile everyday. (He does live with my family) if I were to look after your cat or dog I could either attend to them where they live or to my flat (where I live alone with no pets) I enjoy being around cats and although I have not had dogs as a pet before, I have been around friends who do have some. I think having pets always cheers people up as they’re full of life. I groom my cat, bathe him, comb his hair, clean his food tray, litter and also feed him twice daily. I have dog and cat sitted before so have experience doing both. Please get in touch and feel free to ask any questions! Thank you I am on here to look after cute pets that need taking care of and would be more than happy to help out the owner. I would describe myself as someone who is caring and outgoing. I currently reside in Leicester near Glenfield and they’re are a lot of nice parks nearby for the doggies (also me). I would also be interested in house sitting, cat or dog sitting, day care and also walking. Can take last minute bookings and if needed my services for a longer period of time more than a week, I could negotiate the rate. Currently working for the NHS but over the holiday Christmas period I’m available to sit. I could work around my schedule. I genuinely love pets and it’s nice to unwind to have a little play time and to care for them. I have a family cat that if full of energy, loves going out to play in the garden! Everyday is a routine when looking after Milo and first thing making sure his food bowl is cleaned and he is fed.. grooming everyday as his hair sheds a lot. Days consist of lots of cuddles and neck scratches and making sure he is well looked after.

“Rebecca was brilliant with Twiglet! Went above and beyond to ensure she was happy and well fed! Thank you for everything Rebecca! Also enjoyed seeing the pictures throughout of Twiglet playing with Rebecca's dog!”
“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.”
About: I am happiest when with dogs, they really are man’s best friend. I am always pottering in the garden when it’s nice, or reading by the fire when it’s not! We also have lovely woods to walk in nearby. I have had dogs for as long as I can remember, but no longer have my own. I am retired and love spending time with dogs. We live in the beautiful Burghley estate so are truly spoilt for walking spots. I am up early to feed the chickens and more often than not, tending to my garden. Would be happy to have some canine company. I have a fully dog proofed garden with large lawn and plenty of space to explore. We have a long driveway, and gate, not that many cars come this way! We walk a minute to beautiful wooded areas
“Simon had our 2 dogs for a weekend and it was like a home from home for them! Both dogs were walked, fed and loved just like they would have been at home! We received lots of photos and updates of 2 very happy dogs!! Would definitely use Simon again, amazing pet sitter.”
“Mango had the best time and was well looked after. We received updates and pictures and if dogs could smile Mango certainly was! The setup is perfect for dogs with a secure fence and perfect for dog walks. It made us feel a little less guilty for having a night away without her. We could relax knowing she was in safe hands. Would definitely recommend and will be rebooking in the future if we are in the area.”
“Shaun and his family looked after my dog so well - he had a wonderful time. They are very caring and they were very happy to walk and play with my dog. I am very grateful and I will certainly be calling on them again. Thank you!”
“I don't like leaving our dog anywhere really but I did feel confident that he was in safe and caring hands leaving him at Tara's. I received pictures and videos of him whilst we were away and it was great to see him enjoying himself. Thank you!”
“Cordelia did an amazing job looking after our dog, Hera. It’s the first time we’ve left her with anyone and as a rescue dog I was especially apprehensive of leaving her anywhere, but I needn’t have worried, Hera had the absolute best time with Cordelia and her dogs. It was brilliant to receive photos and lovely updates and we will be rebooking next time we go away, we’d recommend Cordelia in a heartbeat.”
“After dropping Latrell off I received regular updates and photos from Paige which really put my mind at ease and it was clear Latrell was happy and having lots of fun with her and her extremely cute cockapoos Malibu and Cleo. When I picked Latrell up he was relaxed and in no rush to leave which was great to see. I’m very grateful for the updates and attention Paige gave to Latrell throughout his stay. I will defiantly book again when I needs someone to look after him and I would highly recommend Paige to anyone looking for someone that they can trust to look after there dog like there own.”
“Andrew and Francess was looking after Tyson for us when we were away on holiday. They were absolutely amazing and Tyson was loving being with them. They not just taking the dogs to their home to be there but they giving the dogs lots of love and care. Tyson was enjoying the whole time and we will definitely use Andrew and Francess again with out any doubt. We will definitely recommend them to everyone. Really great service.”
“Paige is fab! Betty had a great stay with her, exploring lots of new things and I felt really at ease knowing she was being looked after by someone who has so much love and care for animals. Communication was great, lots of photos/videos. Would definitely recommend.”
“Julia was absolutely amazing with Safia ❤️ From the very beginning, she was caring, attentive, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. She kept me updated throughout the stay with detailed messages about walks, food, water, playtime, and how Safia was doing emotionally, which gave me so much peace of mind, and the most thorough report about her day. She even washed and dried Safia’s blanket after a little accident without hesitation, such a kind gesture that truly shows how much she cares! Safia clearly felt comfortable and loved with Julia and her family, and it made me so happy to hear how well she got along with everyone 😊 I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person. I would trust Julia again without a second thought and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, warm, patient, and genuinely loving with dogs. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of Safia 🐾”
