“This was our first and definitely not our last experience of booking a sitter. After the initial communication we arranged a visit to ensure Bonnie would feel happy to stay away for the night. The sitters were friendly, attentive and showed a great love for dogs. We would definitely recommend anyone to book and would have no concerns to have Bonnie stay here again. Thank you for taking good care of Bonnie while we went to watch Oasis.”
“Shaun and Jackie were very accommodating for my dog Olives 1st visit. Olive was made to feel at ease and appears to have settled in as part of their family. We felt confident and were provided with updates over her visit. Olive will return to Shaun and Jackie’s on a regular basis and we are confident she is well looked after and safe. If people are looking for a great dog sitter, we would highly recommend Shaun and Jackie.”
“This was the first time I had left Hank with anyone and I was probably more nervous than he was, but Millie was amazing with him, constant updates with pictures and videos and it was clear he settles really well which just put me at ease. I cannot recommend highly enough and Millie will be my first point of contact if I have to go away again. Thank you Milloe for all you did for Hank”
“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.”
“Tom had Stanley while we were away in Majorca and it was clear from the pupdates he was enjoying his holiday as well!! Tom was even kind enough to give him a bit of a pamper which he hates at home!!!! I would have no hesitation in booking Tom again and highly recommend him if your fur baby needs looking after while you’re away. Thanks 🤩 🐾”
“Kay and her family looked after our dog overnight and he had the best time! A very lovely family with a super friendly dog, Hera, who really cared for Arnie. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you 🤩”
“It's been the 1st time of ever using this kind of service Dainora has been amazing, I was able to notice that Sasha had an amazing time with them, she never showed any kind of anxiety. I'm definitely be using her services again and will highly recommend it to anyone who needs it”

I have a secure, fenced garden with plenty of grass and space for dogs to run around and enjoy some playtime. There are no other pets in the household, so your dog can have our full attention and settle into a calm, comfortable environment.
“Mandy agreed to look after our dog with very short notice, we arrange a quick meeting and trusted her straight away. Lovely, warm person who loves animals. Our dog was in very good hands. We got few updates (pics & video) which was much appreciated. Thank you.”
“Many thanks for the great experience! Ayse is fantastic; Polly was very happy with the care and attention she received. Very friendly sitter and great communication, would highly recommend!”
“Carla and Jim looked after our dog Mila for us, they are really friendly & professional. They welcomed Mila into their home with their dog Marlow and she couldn’t have settled better. Carla and Jim looked after Mila perfectly, they sent us regular updates and photos of how Mila was getting on, so whilst we were away we knew that Mila was safe and happy. We would highly recommend Carla and Jim, they are caring, kind, thoughtful and really accommodating. We will definitely be using Carla and Jim again as we feel completely happy and safe leaving our dogs with them. Thank you again x”
“I cannot recommend Christina & her family enough. We had another dog sitter cancel last minute at 1AM in the morning and we were due to travel the same day. Christina replied in the early hours of the morning and saved us from cancelling our trip! She has a lovely home and was extremely welcoming. She kept us up to date with pictures throughout the stay and our dog Cleo clearly enjoyed her stay. We will definitely book her again for future stays! :-)”
“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!!”
“Our cockapoo had a great stay with Irina. He was well looked after in a home from home environment. Communication before the stay was really helpful in making arrangements. Irina sent photos of Sandy during his stay and messages so we knew everything was okay. Would definitely recommend and use again. Thank you Irina!”

“Bertie our Cocker Spaniel has just returned from a weeks stay with Evellin and Gabrielle, he has had the best time and been thoroughly spoilt! This was our first time using Rover and I was a little apprehensive but Evellin put me totally at ease, we had a meet and greet session at their beautiful home and within minutes Bertie was comfortable enough to be lying on his back for a belly rub. Great communication and pictures whilst away. Bertie is already looking forward to his next visit. Thank you”

“Angie was absolutely amazing with our cat Chandler. From the very first visit, it was clear she genuinely cares and takes her responsibility seriously. She kept us updated during every drop-in with messages and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Chandler was clearly comfortable and well looked after, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. We would 100% book Angie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful sitter.”

“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!”
“Jess C. Was an excellent sitter for Clyde. A very nice and pleasant young lady. She sent us regular reports and photographs. She left the house and a very clean and tidy state. I would not hesitate to book Jess C. In the future. And I can highly recommend her to any one else who wants a pet sitter in the future. Thank you Jess C. ?”
About: Having had dogs in the family since I was a child and having my own for the past 12 years, I have always loved taking care of them. I have looked after all sorts of breeds, over the years, big and small, and love them all. I am Dog First Aid Trained and have looked after dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I am a full time dog walker and sitter and have availability for new dogs. All sitting is currently done within the owners own home. I like to keep dogs in their normal routine, as much as possible. With it being good to mix up their walks in different places, I will always stick to owners recommendations and discuss and changes in advance.
About: Even though my expertise are in dogs, I have had experience in caring for a couple cats during my 4 years of dog care. I realise each cat is different so am happy to learn about your animals needs and give them all the attention or space that they need. I have in the past house sat and cat sat for families for weeks at a time with no problems! I am currently studying a degree in bioveterinary sciences so my true passion is to make sure your animal is always safe and cared for.

“Irina was very helpful and cooperative and took good care of our furry boys while we were away. She was responsive to messages and easy to communicate with, and everything was handled as arranged. We appreciate her support and thank her for looking after them.”
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!
“Joana was such a great house sitter for my cat Freya. She kept me up to date with pictures whilst I was away and took really great care of her. Felt very comfortable leaving her in Joana’s care and would definitely book again the next time I go away”
About: Having had family pets my entire life, I understand just how much our furry friends become our best friends. I grew up with a very excitable dog (her name was Georgi) and a grumpy cat (her name was trainers), and I’ve been in love with anything with 4 legs ever since. I’ve dog sat, walked, fed, bathed, cleaned litter trays, scooped poop, you name it - and I’ve loved every second of it. I promise to smother your best friend in all the love they need while you’re away. I work from home with a fairly flexible schedule, so I can be on hand whenever needed. All I need is my laptop, which means I can also work from someone else’s home! I live in a house with a private garden so your dog has outside space to enjoy whenever they need it, as well as access to large parks nearby for longer walks.

“Evie was a huge help in providing fairly last minute daycare for our puppy and were really understanding when we ran late for pick ups. I always worry about leaving our puppy with anyone as they can be hard work to look after, but Evie and her partner were great with him and we received regular updates on how he was getting on. He was happy every time he came home and we would not hesitate to contact Evie again whenever we are in need of puppy care!”

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. I can’t wait to meet your lovely dogs x I’m fortunate enough to work remotely, from home and with a very flexible schedule, allowing for lots of adventures and garden zoomies! My dog, Hera, typically has 3 walks per day come rain or shine! I have a large, secure garden and live in a rural setting, with immediate access to countryside walks. If I’m walking a dog from your home, I’ll always research the local area to find the best walks and love nothing more than discovering new paths with a four-legged fur baby for company!
“Thank you so much for looking after Tashi and Ruby so well. It meant we could go and enjoy my daughter’s wedding without any worries about them. Look forward to seeing you again in a couple of months”
About: I’ve struggled myself to find the right home to look after my precious boys. I offer a home from home setting where your dog(s) will receive lots of cuddles and lots of playtime. We have two male cockapoos, one of which is of senior age. We have previously had Great Danes (gorgeous breed) and have grown up round a variety of breeds. We have two children age 10 and 13 who have grown up around animals and absolutely love dogs and if your dog wants to run around with smaller humans they’re all for it. I work from home part time so I’m available for cuddles on the sofa and they can play freely with open access to the enclosed garden. We will accommodate so that everything is familiar to what they are used to for example sleeping in the kitchen, sleeping in a bedroom, being on furniture and so forth. We have a Vets locally who our dogs are registered with and plenty of green areas for dogs to have good walks. Any questions please feel free to ask. I know they are your babies and we will take great care of them. I work from home part time and I’m kept company by my two cockerpoos; one who is old and quite happily chills and the other who is seven and can always be encouraged to play. We have a secure enclosed garden where they will have access to play freely. We have lots of walks and greenery close by so they don’t have to do the same route all the time and can adapt the walks we take to your dogs needs.
“Exceptional. Samba is a rescue and has a few little quirks. Charlotte was very understanding and happily went at Samba’s pace. Spent their time together cuddling which is Samba’s favourite thing to do. I would happily use Charlotte again and recommend her care. Thank you again.”
“Penelope had a fantastic stay at Lynn’s after I had to drop into London for work. The house and garden were fantastic spaces with plenty of room for play and quiet time. Lynn was great at communicating and it was evident how she absolutely loves animals from how comfortable Penelope made herself!”
“Many thanks Tom and your lovely family, for taking good care of Daisy yesterday. Our labradoodle is 11 now and it’s the 1st occasion we have left her with Tom. He sent through some lovely photos of Daisy with the children, which was very reassuring and gave us the confidence to know that she had settled in and will be fine when we leave her again. Hopefully next time the weather will be less soggy for your walks !”

I'd love to welcome your dog into our family and make sure they feel safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away. 🐶❤️ I work from home with flexible hours, so I can take breaks throughout the day to give your dog plenty of attention, walks and company.

About: Myself and my husband are experienced dog owners, and have been around dogs our whole lives. We are happy to consider any dog breed and can handle large or small dogs. We had an Alaskan Malamute weighing 48kgs in her prime, sadly we lost her in August at 14 years old, so no trouble handling big and stubborn breeds! We do have a 14 year old cockerpoo called Alfie who is very tolerant and misses his companion - therefore dogs coming to us must be okay with other dogs. He is neutered. We have a loving family home with husband and wife team and grown up children who are always happy to play with dogs walk, entertain, exercise etc (children are 16, 19, 22 and are dog lovers like us!) We have a large enclosed garden for dogs to roam around in and are a cat free home. Boarding and doggy day care welcome, we often go to the seaside too, so if you pooch likes the beach they'd be welcome to come with us if they can travel in the car okay. Happy to answer any questions, or set up a meet and greet with your furbaby. I work part time 3 days a week and my husband works from home full time, so there is always someone around to keep you dog company and give them the love and care they need. Evenings and weekends we have 3 grown up children that are dog lovers like us, and are more than happy to help keep your dog entertained (children are 22, 19, 16 so not little kids). We have a large secure fenced garden for dogs to roam around in as they please. There is always someone at home. We have a 14 year old cockerpoo who misses his companion who we lost this year. He is a gentlemen. Happy to crate if needed, though we do not have a crate at the moment so this will need to be provided.
“Effy has an amazing time ever week and although I was nervous about leaving her, that has completely disappeared now! Effy will be visiting weekly for the foreseeable future. She is looked after so well, I am kept up to date with pictures and I know she is cared for as well as she could be at home. So glad I found Eszter she is fantastic!”
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!
“I had a great experience with Carla and Jim! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care. From the start, they were incredibly friendly and approachable, which immediately put me at ease. They arranged a meet and greet beforehand, which was a really thoughtful touch and helped both me and my dog feel comfortable before the stay as it was my first time using Rover. During the time they were looking after my dog, they provided regular updates and photos, which was so reassuring and showed how well my dog was being cared for. It was clear that my dog was happy, relaxed, and getting plenty of attention. I really appreciated the level of care and communication throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Carla and Jim again and would definitely recommend them to other dog owners looking for someone trustworthy and kind to look after their pet! Thank you!”
“Christina and her family are incredible! We were on a trip to the north when we stopped in town to see a show with our daughter! We needed someone to look after our pups last minute and I couldn’t be more thankful that we stumbled upon Christina’s profile! Christina came and met us at the theatre as we were running late and collected the dogs, was very understanding and helpful, kept us updated on how the dogs were with pictures and texts and even had the kids playing with our pups! If I’m completely honest, I think the dogs were sad to be leaving as they’d had so much fun! If we are ever in the area again, I will definitely use Christina again!!”
“Helen was very sensitive to the fact Lily is unsure in unfamiliar places and let her find her own spot where she was comfortable. Lily was relaxed and happy when I picked her up.”
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: I have owned and looked after dogs for the past 25 years. I have a first class honours degree in psychology where animal behaviour was in each semester. I have a pet first aid and CPR NVQ certificate and I am fully insured. My home is very spacious and I am home all day everyday. SHDC licence - AWL00122 I work very flexibly from home. Thus, I can be there with your dog 24/7 if needed. I love walking my dog on nearby fields (I keep on a leash but have a loose 10m lead). Snuggles on the sofa in the evening and on hot summer days, the doggy pool and hose pipe come out for play time (or your pet can chill inside). I will treat your pet as my own. I have always been a god lover. We have 3 toy baskets and lots of places for quiet time if needed.

About: Hi, I’m Harriet, thanks for visiting my profile! Little or small, I’m here for all! My darling 15 year old rescue Jack Russell passed away last year and I’m missing the company and love of walking with furry friends! Being a genuine lover of animals and always having pets, I trained in the animal sector and academically achieved my HNC qualification in Animal Management. I have 9 years experience working in a rescue kennels and cattery, a working farm and a pet shop; so I have a lot of experience with different temperaments of animals and their needs. I am a patient, enthusiastic, confident and knowledgeable. Pets are my passion and I would love to meet yours! Please note, I do work a shift pattern but I know my shifts in advance so I will be as flexible as possible. I work shifts but I know my schedule far in advance so it is best for me to plan walks with your companion. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I am well experienced in medications, specialised diets, elderly dogs, and varied temperaments. My home is pet safe as I had my dog for 10 years. I do have a cat.
“Angie is EXCELLENT! From initial contact communication was great, we needed someone to walk our dog for initially 4 days then extended it 8 which she accommodated for us. The initial meet & greet went brilliant, our dog Iggi can be reticent with people she doesn’t know but immediately warmed to Angie. She excitedly greeted her when going on a walk and Angie always sent a little report with each walk and a couple of photos. Iggi came back from each walk sated and happy. We cannot praise Angie highly enough and will use her in future when we are in the area visiting family & friends”

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.
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.
“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’ve had pets ever since I was little and loved looking after them. I absolutely love nature and all animals (I don’t eat meat and my dream is to save the environment). My dogs, Sky and Lolly, and my cat, Ivy, are my whole world so I know how scary it is to leave your fur-baby with someone new. I am absolutely dedicated to making sure that all animals in (and out of) my care are well looked after and feel safe and loved! I’ve got a big heart and can’t resist looking after any animal I come across. I’m currently working part time so I can be available for walks and boarding most evenings/ Thursdays and Fridays during the day. Availability: Monday: evenings Tuesday: N/A Wednesday: evenings Thursday: daytime/evenings Friday: daytime/evenings Saturday: *daytime/evenings (usually depends on the week)* Sunday: evenings I have an enclosed garden which is a decent size. I also have a very friendly pug/shih tzu cross who would be more than happy to keep your fur-baby company. (I also have a cat who is friendly but pretty much keeps herself to herself). Pets are allowed on the furniture. I’m very vigilant about pet safety.
About: I’ve had a lifelong love for dogs and several years of hands-on experience caring for them in a variety of settings. I’ve looked after puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between, including high-energy breeds that need plenty of exercise and older dogs who require a gentler approach. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to provide daily walks, feeding, grooming, basic training reinforcement, and lots of affection. I’m comfortable following specific routines and handling multiple dogs at once while making sure each one gets individual attention. My priority is always creating a safe, calm, and happy environment where dogs feel loved and secure while their owners are away. I’m free 24/7 at the moment i only have college which means im available for your pet whenever needed and super flexible so you can message me last minute for me to look after your pet I have a huge garden where your pet can run around and have lots of freedom, and in your home i can ensure all of my attention is focused onto your pet to ensure it has the best time and is treated with care

About: From a young age I have been asked to care for animals in families I’ve known, in the past couple of years I have developed that into housesitting, looking after animals from horses to dogs and I am happy to adapt to any task at hand. I recently looked after a puppy which obviously requires a heavy routine so any special attention that your animal needs, I am happy to deliver! I am currently studying a degree in bioveterinary sciences so my true passion is to make sure your animal is always safe and cared for. A university student so am home for the summer meaning I have plenty of time to look after your animal with great attention to detail and care to my best ability Able to ensure any safety measures you have applied in your home to be continued whilst you are away. Any tips from yourself would also be helpful!
About: Taking care of my own dog since 10 years old, and been passionate and happy taking care of relatives and neighbours dogs and throughout growing up! Finished school for the summer, and working very little at a part time job so weekdays are mostly free with the occasional weekend shift which I can always work around to house sit and take great care of your animals! Id love to ensure a comforting time for your doggies while you’re away, with the familiarity of their own homes combined with regular playtimes, walkies and cuddles to ensure no lonely or anxious thoughts when you’re away!
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!
About: I have studied animal management and have been working with animals since the age of 14. I am now 27 and have been working in the animal rescue sector for 8 years which provides me with a high level of care, efficiency and great customer service. My background means I have a strong passion for both pets and their people. I will be working part-time and at uni so this will be during days off and breaks in study, along with most evenings which are free for me. Secure household and garden with a very friendly little staffy who was a rescue from my previous work. With a strong focus on enrichment and positive-based training, your pet will be in safe hands.
About: I grew up with lots of animals like a tiny farm and since going to university, I have missed it :( I always go to my family house where there is 5 cats, 2 goldens and 10 chickens and 1 rabbit. May sound like a lot but there is never a moment of boredom. I work in Boston, 8:30-17:00 Monday to Friday. Please take that into consideration when booking me as it doesn’t not let me edit my work schedule into the app. Anytime after 17:30, if you want your dog walking I would be happy too. I really enjoy going on walks with dogs. I have a fenced garden and love going on walks. Dogs and cats are allowed on furniture so they have many places to venture and relax :)
About: I’ve had dogs since I was in primary school and currently own 1 gorgeous border collies after 2 sadly passed away. I’ve had two of my dogs from pups, with Ted now being 9. Bear sadly passed away last year at the age of 15. We also had a Dale, a rescue border collie who came to me badly neglected and abused. I nursed him back to health and gave him a little over a year of knowing a loving home until he sadly passed away after suffering a bleed on the brain. I regularly pup sit for friends and families dogs. I currently work from home and can be available during the day or evening for walkies, drop in visits and stays. Always happy to take doggy’s on adventures with us on weekends. I have a secure garden and 1 friendly border collie, aged 9 (nearly 10) to keep your furbaby company if you wish. The house is very much the dogs home as well as my own. I am responsible and happy to pop into your own home to look after your pup if that’s what you require and obviously walks galore are available!
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!

“Shaun and Jackie were very accommodating for my dog Olives 1st visit. Olive was made to feel at ease and appears to have settled in as part of their family. We felt confident and were provided with updates over her visit. Olive will return to Shaun and Jackie’s on a regular basis and we are confident she is well looked after and safe. If people are looking for a great dog sitter, we would highly recommend Shaun and Jackie.”
“Kay and her family looked after our dog overnight and he had the best time! A very lovely family with a super friendly dog, Hera, who really cared for Arnie. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you 🤩”

“Milena was absolutely wonderful with my kitten! ❤️ I left him with her for 3 weeks and she took such great care of him. She kept me updated every single day with lovely photos and videos of what they had been getting up to, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. From the photos and videos he looks so happy, healthy and very well cared for, and he’s growing so well. You can really tell how much love and attention she gave him. 🥰 I would definitely recommend Milena to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. Thank you so much, Milena! ❤️”
“Maddy was absolutely amazing with Money. She took such great care of him and treated him as if he were her own.

It was clear that Money was in safe and loving hands, and I could see how happy and settled he was.

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for dogs with different needs and personalities. I've confidently looked after multiple dogs at the same time and have experience providing longer-term care, including looking after dogs for three weeks while their owners were away in Canada. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, comfortable, and loved when their family is away.I enjoy keeping dogs active and engaged, tailoring their care to suit their breed, age, and energy levels. For dogs that enjoy adventure, I love taking them on longer walks and exploring new places, giving them plenty of exercise, stimulation, and fun. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they receive lots of attention, affection, and the highest standard of care. I work from home 4-5 days a week and then don’t work weekends. I can look after dogs whilst working, after work, before work and at the weekends. I do this with my own dog. By feeding them, playing with them, checking in on them, rubbing their bellies and stroking/cuddling them. Creating a safe and cosy place for them to feel comfy and at home.
“Bradley is a fantastic dog sitter. When contacting Bradley he was very quick to respond to the boarding request. I wanted to meet before my dog went to stay and Bradley was very accommodating with this. Unfortunately due to illness I had to cancel and rearrange without any problems and Bradley was very flexible to fit in with me. Meeting Bradley and the lovely Lincoln reassured me that I had chosen a great dog sitter. When Maple was staying with Bradley, he communicated regularly and I loved it that Maple was taken out for one of the days and had so much fun. The videos and photos were lovely and I could see that Maple was settled and clearly had made a new friend being Lincoln. Bradley loves dogs and Maple had such fun she was exhausted when we picked her up. Bradley looked after Maple like she was at her own home. I will definitely book in with Bradley again and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him to others.”
“Eleni, is just a dream. From initial contact she was proactive with her responses, accommodating and very welcoming. Frieda is a very shy dog with strangers, but within seconds, she was wagging her tail, trying to get kisses and cuddles. She settled into the house very quickly. I do believe this was due to the warm and kind aura Eleni gives. Freida had a very nice time over her weekend stay. With lots of reassurance for me with photo and video updates, kept my mind at rest. When it was time for Freida to come home, she didn't want to leave an ran upstairs to hide lol....that's how much she enjoyed her stay. We will definitely be using Eleni again, and i highly recommend her. Thank you Eleni, i will message you shortly to discuss future stays. Thank you Charlie & Freida xxx”
