“Fantastic dog sitter, I would highly recommend him to everyone. So reassuring to know I’ve got my go to person to leave my dog with when I need it. 5 stars!!”
“Kellie and Andy were great and our black lab Alfie absolutely loved his time with them. They were very quick to reply and also asked questions to understand what Alfie needs in order to take best care of him. We got daily updates which were lovely - Alfie seemed so happy. It went so well that we’ve rebooked for our little boy to stay with them again. Would definitely recommend them, they are lovely 🐾 ♥️”
“This was our first time using Rover.com as we have been lucky enough to have friends and family members look after our 11 year old cockapoo Rosie in the past. I was a little nervous to leave her with someone new however, I got in touch with Leigh and after a brief chat we took Rosie to meet her at her home. Leigh and her family were welcoming and lovely and keen to know Rosie’s specific needs. She stayed with Leigh for 6 nights and we had daily updates and photos which reassured us and put our minds at rest. Rosie seemed perfectly happy and settled with Leigh and her family in their home. Communication was prompt and regular and when we picked Rosie up, Leigh seemed genuinely attached to Rosie and it seemed like that had both had a lovely time together. We would use Leigh again without a doubt and would recommend her highly to anyone who is need of a dog sitter.”
“Pippin was very well looked after by Leonidas and seemed to have a lovely time and came back very happy and tired out! We appreciated the daily updates and easy communication. Many thanks!”
“Mush became part of Lauren’s family whilst he stayed there which is all a dog mum could want. Kept me updated throughout with lots of pics. Mush was spoilt rotten with lots of walks and cuddles”
“Humphrey was well looked after by Nathalie and her family and was well chilled out. He loves Tilly and they have great fun. Be very happy for Humphrey to stay again . Thanks Nathalie!”
“Sarah and her adorable pugs took such wonderful care of our dog. We received regular updates, including photos and videos from her many nature walks, and when we returned, she seemed completely at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“Jackie and Amanda were great looking after our treasured Cocker Spaniel Louis for 9 days whilst we were abroad. We had full confidence in them from the moment we met them. They kept us fully informed with regular photos and updates.We had total peace of mind that Louis was in excellent hands. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again!”
“Our dog Winston had a wonderful time with Anna and Bruno. He was very well looked after with plenty of park visits and lots of updates and videos throughout his stay. We were reassured knowing he was safe and being looked after just like he was their own dog. Winston seemed very happy and comfortable in their home when I picked him up. He will definitely be staying with Anna again.”
“Jess was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Margot. We received regular updates and photos, and we could clearly see that Margot was having a great time with Jess and Pepper. Jess took Margot on some lovely walks and did some lovely activities with her, but she was also very understanding and respectful of our requests for caring for Margot. We highly recommend Jess.”
“Angelika always looks after Winnie so well. She gets a comfy home to live in with interaction with Oli and other dogs during her stay. She is always seems happy & content on her return and we wouldn't hesitate in using Angelika every time and recommending her to others.”
About: I’ve looked after dogs with all sorts of personalities, from playful and energetic pups to gentle, cuddly companions. I enjoy getting to know each dog and making sure they feel comfortable, settled and happy in my care. 🐾 I’ve always loved animals and enjoy spending time with them. I love getting to know each pet — whether they’re playful, cuddly, energetic or a little shy! 🥰 I work from home full time and am also home on weekends, so your pets get plenty of walks, playtime & cuddles throughout the day! I’m happy to follow their usual routines and make sure they feel safe, settled and at home. I treat each pet like one of my own and make sure they have a fun and comfortable stay. 🐶🐾❤️ I want every pet to feel safe, relaxed and completely at home during their stay. I’ll also keep you in the loop with regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your little one is happy, comfortable and being well looked after. 🐾
About: Some of my earliest and kindest memories are of growing up with two amazing black labs. Not a year has gone by since without dogs playing a big part in my life. From having then as pets through to dogsitting as I grew up, I adore spending time with our furry four-legged friends. I have a friendly and sociable labradoodle called Ellie who will put any visiting friend at ease; be it playing in the garden or snoozing together on the sofa while I read. I'm currently working flexibly from home so am able to spend most of my day with your dog. I have several parks nearby where I can take them for walks however often they need, plus a back garden they can relax in. We have a very pet-friendly home (it was necessary for our own dog, Ellie!). The back garden is fenced with both sun and shade. I'll always tailor the environment to suit your dog, ensuring they are comfortable and happy while staying - be it a quiet space to sleep, or if they prefer sleeping in the bedroom with me.
“Alessia provided a very nice and warm stay for our Bean! Providing her all the care and love that she needs. Giving us constant updates and great pictures we were very happy on how chilled it was and how easy everything went. 100% happy and totally thankful.”
“As always, Teddy had an amazing time. Teddy can't wait to visit again. It's nice to know that we can go away and relax knowing he is safe and having fun. I would recommend to anyone.”
“Sophie was incredible taking our cat Zara in with such last-minute notice. She shared updates with us and Zara seemed to really love her and not want to leave. Would highly recommend and would book her again.”
“Charlotte & family are fantastic doggy sitters! Lani felt right at home straight away and clearly had a lovely time. Their dog, Roy, is the sweetest little boy who welcomed Lani into his home with ease. Charlotte updated me about how she was getting on and we felt very comfortable with her being there. Will definitely book again, thank you!”

“Ellie was very good when I had to leave my two Yorkies home alone for 3 days over Christmas. Ellie came in in the morning to administer meds, walk and feed the 2 dogs. Then she returned twice more during the day, even on Christmas Day, to give meds and feed when necessary. i enjoyed received photo updates, and Ellie always put a little note with the photos. I would definitely use her again, especially as she is so local”
“I couldn't be happier with the care my three cats received from Marsela! From the moment we met, it was clear that Marsela genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. All three of my cats were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well looked after when I returned. Marsela took the time to understand each of their individual personalities and routines, and it really showed. My home was left spotless, and I felt confident throughout my holiday that my cats were in the best possible hands. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Marsela to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional cat sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my furry family, Marsela!”
About: I’m Sophie, 28 and love animals! I work in construction but around early mornings and late evenings. I would happily provide care, treats and cuddles while you are away! I have a Labrador who is 3, and a spoilt boy so I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands!
About: I have plenty of experience with cats. I previously lived in a house share with a rescued cat, who I helped care for daily. My mum has a cat, and I regularly look after him whenever my mum is on holiday or when they come to visit me. In addition, I often help neighbours by providing house-sitting services for their cats — feeding them, cleaning litter trays, and spending time playing with them to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.
“Charlotte & Molly are very attentive and focused on providing the best care for the pets they look after ; always communicative before and during visits, taking notes of any requirements and pay attention to details - i knew the cats would be safe & well cared for and could enjoy my holiday with peace of mind ; will definitely book them again!”
“Vikki was wonderful with both of my cats and having her visit them each day was a huge reassurance to me and my children whilst we were on holiday. Communication was fantastic and Vikki went the extra mile watering my plants and even trying to help fix my Catflap which malfunctioned due to a technical problem in the first few days of my holiday. She found a working solution for us until I get home. She kept me updated with photos and reports so I could see how the cats were doing and they were enjoying being fussed. All the cat food packets were cleared into the main bin and Vikki even popped my bin out on bin day. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Vikki again, or to recommend her to anyone who is looking for a reliable, friendly and caring Sitter.”
“Very reliable, great at responding to messages and giving daily updates about our cat when we were away. Came home to a very relaxed cat. Would definitely recommend and hope that she will look after our cat again. ”

About: I am lucky enough for my friends and family to have chosen me to care for their furry friends when they are away from home, some local, some further way. For many years I volunteered at Woodgreen Animal Shelter and Cats Protection helping care for their animal guests. I love walking outside in nature with my doggie friends, come rain or shine and having cuddles with cats and other animals when they decide its human time. I love the unique personality each animal has and seeing that grow as they become confident around me. I am currently self employed and can adapt my schedule to ensure I have plenty of time to walk, and play and care for your animals. I feel its very important to follow your guidance for the care of your animals, (and your home) and ensuring consistency of the day such as rules, meal times, walks, medication times, etc. I am very confident in caring for a range of animals with differing needs and temperaments. I have worked with animals for over 20 years in a range of capacities including owner, carer, healer and animal communicator. I am qualified in Animal Healing (& teach this), Bach Flower Remedies for Animals and Animal Communication.

“Leigh came to meet my dog before my dog’s stay - much appreciated. The weather was extremely hot so she kept her cool and safe. Leigh kept in touch during the day and was considerate and flexible with pick up time.”
“Juno had a great day with Jackie. She fitted in really well. Had a lovely time meeting and playing with her dogs. Juno also went for a lovely walk outside along the wooded paths. I would recommend Jackie. Thank you. See you next time.”
About: I loved being a dog mum, & I really do know how important it is, to have someone you whole-heartedly trust…. I will ensure I am at home with no other work planned whilst boarding your dog. I have a whole lifespan of dog experience from puppy training, exercising and engaging adolescent energy to elderly care. I grew up with three dogs from a little Lasa Apso to an Old English Gent, with a Corgi Mix in-between. I have experience of fully training my own Cardigan Corgi in the past, the most loyal soul and truly the “goodest boy”. He had an exceptionally sweet character, a dog lover himself and somewhat of a celebrity in our area 🤎 He reached a great age and we had the best life together. He taught me so much, and is the reason I want to be around and care for dogs. WALKING and/or hiking: I am a qualified DofE walk leader for Hertfordshire, so I know the greatest adventures, terrain and many varied local routes. We can walk up to three times a day. With awareness and responsibility; I am a mindful and aware dog carer, especially in public places. Preemptive safety is always my priority. I build an engaging and thoughtful relationship with dogs, practicing communication and embedding routine. I talk to them and we learn together, getting to know each other. BOARDING: For me, owner communication is key, we will set up a meeting to gain an understanding of your dog and their daily routine, their specific requirements and ensure that they have as little disruption as possible whilst you are away. Your dog will be the main character, the whole story, it’s all about them! Most of all we will have fun. VISITS and playtime: A fully engaged and planned visit according to your needs; I will spend this time ensuring your dog knows they are a VIP and cared for. I use reaffirming language to create routine and build effective communication with your dog. I am able to make myself available for boarding 24/7; your dog will be with me and included in every part of my day. I have a good sized fully secure and 6ft fenced garden, I am able to safely transport them in my car with seat belts, a large hatchback area, and a soft cushioned bed in my vehicle. I will be caring for your dog only. For walks I will also only walk with one dog or two dogs maximum from the same family. I have a current valid DBS check.
“A fantastic dog sitter who was so accommodating and kind. This is our second time booking and we will definitely be booking again. We were updated throughout the day with photos and a couple of videos and it was so lovely to see. She is very responsive to messages and has taken superb care of our boy. Thank you again! He had the best day 🐶 🐾 ❤️”
“Shakira had the best day with Elena. Walking, swimming, meeting other dogs, lunch outdoors, visiting horses. Elena kept her physically and mentally stimulated. She sent loads of pictures and videos throughout the day and she has taken the greatest care of my fur baby. I would definitely recommend Elena! Thumbs up!”
“Tegan & her partner are a lovely couple very friendly. They Loved Lexi & she loved them from the onset. Came back very happy. Would definitely recommend them & most definitely use again.”
About: I’m a pet sister from Hong Kong, now living in the UK for the third year. I moved here with my four cats, who are now 6 to 7 years old. After settling down, I adopted a 1.5-year-old Border Collie. I truly love all my pets—they’re my family. Pet care is a big part of my daily life—it’s not just a job, it’s something I truly enjoy. Every day, I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for, whether it’s morning and evening drop-in visits, regular walks, or spending quality time with my own pets at home. I make sure to stay organized so that each pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they need. Being around animals brings me joy and keeps me active, so I always look forward to every visit or walk. When providing drop-in visits or dog walking services, I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and respected in their own environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, whether it’s feeding, cleaning, giving medication, or following a specific walking route or routine. I take time to build trust with each pet, using calm energy and gentle care so they feel comfortable around me. During walks, I stay alert and prioritize their safety at all times—avoiding busy roads, checking their body language, and ensuring they’re always on-leash unless instructed otherwise. I treat every pet like family, and always keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their furry friend is in good hands.
“First time booked with Fiona to look after Willow. We had loads of updates and could see how well she was at home with the family and Burleigh. She was walked and well looked after. She never eats when she's away from us, but she ate whilst there. That means she was comfortable and felt at home. Thanks to you all. We will definitely be booking again when needed x”
About: I am currently on maternity leave so have the time to spend with your furry babies! Cats are my favourite animal and I have my own fluffy girl called Binky.

I’m currently on maternity leave so have a lot free time to care for your furry babies!

I’m available for one off bookings or longer term arrangements depending on what you need. I will follow the instructions you provide and take the time to earn your pets trust inside and out of your home. I’ll provide updates and ensure clear communication of any issues.
“Buddy had a great time with John and his dog Maverick. Great communication in the lead up to the booking and photos of Buddy throughout the day. Would recommend and we look forward to Buddy having another fun day with John and Maverick.”
“I can't recommend Alessia enough for dog sitting! She took exceptional care of my Ralph during his first daycare with her. Her warm demeanor and genuine love for dogs made me feel at ease. Ralph came back happy and well-adjusted, which speaks volumes about her attention to detail and affection. I’ll definitely be booking her again for future dog sitting! 5 stars all around! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“Snoopy was so happy with Sarah and her lovely dogs and had a great time! We had been worried he might be a bit unsettled being with someone new for the first time but we were completely reassured by Sarah’s updates throughout the day and he came home a very happy chappie who slept very well that night. Would definitely recommend Sarah to all”

“Our lively Cocker Spaniel Milo really enjoyed his day with Brad and Chloe and their dogs Mylo and Blue. This was our first time using Rover.com and Brad made the whole process really simple. He communicated well throughout, responding quickly to any questions we had, and arranged a meet and greet before Milo's stay to make sure the dogs would get on well together. Brad is naturally very warm and friendly and clearly loves dogs; He was excellent with Milo. We have no hesitation in recommending Brad and we will definitely be using him again soon.”

About: I have had family pets since I was a little girl, we have had fish, guinea pigs, cats and dogs so I've experienced all different ways of looking after all our friends! I am a qualified dental nurse so I am very used to caring for people in my day to day life, handling medication, dealing with high stress situations and following instructions as led by you. My aim is always to create a calm and zen atmosphere to reduce anxiety and bring the fun and games when needed, I am now also a trained yoga teacher and I implement a joyful energy into all aspects of my life. I understand how important routine and structure is for animals, I am trustworthy and will promise to treat your furry friends as if they are my own. I just came back from a 4 month trip around Southeast Asia which ended with me gaining my Yoga teacher certification. I am currently not in a Dental Nurse role and am planning to start teaching yoga part time to gain experience, this means I have a lot of free time and flexibility each week. I am able to drive and travel to your house to come and look after your pets however, I am currently living in my family home with two of my own pets (a cat and a dog) so I am unable to board pets in my own home currently.
About: I work part-time so I am very flexible. I have experience walking and looking after a variety of dog breeds for family members and friends (including: border collie, dachshund, Dogue de Bordeaux).

I’m currently working part-time, I am available daytime a few days a week. I can also be available for evenings or longer stays. I have a car if needed to transport your dog for walks. I am happy using crates if your dog is comfortable in one. I am happy to meet up prior to walking your dog to gain trust and make sure the dog feels comfortable.
“Sonia was lovely with my mini-schnauzer Lola and took her on some nice gentle walks. It was great getting the little updates after each walk. I really appreciated Sonia’s flexibility and kindness when my plans changed at the last minute, and will definitely be asking her for help with Lola in the future.”

About: Hello! I’m the proud dog-mummy of a beautiful beagle (and 2 humans!). I’m a reliable and caring animal lover offering dog walking and pet sitting services. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes, and energy levels, and I’m happy to tailor walks and care routines to suit your pet’s individual needs — whether that means long active walks, slower paced strolls, playtime, feeding routines, medication support, or simply providing companionship and reassurance. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive. I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. Services I offer include: • Dog walking • Drop-in visits • Pet sitting • Feeding and fresh water • Playtime and companionship • Regular updates and photos I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for. I work from home so am available at short notice and for regular visits. Can’t wait to hear from you! I work from home Monday - Thursday and can happily fit in walks or pop ins during the day. I would also be happy to keep your pets company for longer periods during the day (so long as I can use your wifi and you are happy for me to bring my laptop!). I can be available evenings and Friday-Sunday on request but would need some more notice to fit this in. I have experience training and walking my incredibly lively beagle. I am confident with any care instructions, feeding and toileting habits (no judgement here!). I would treat your home and your pet as if they were my own!
About: I previously had a wonderful senior dog, so I understand that not every dog wants (or can manage) long walks. As he got older, we adapted his routine to suit him, with shorter, gentler walks and plenty of time to sniff and explore at his own pace. He was also deaf in his later years, so I became very aware of how important it is to approach dogs calmly and thoughtfully to avoid startling them. That experience taught me to be patient. Whether your dog is young and full of energy or enjoying their senior years, I'll always take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and happy. I'll be available Friday to Sunday evenings, making me a great option for weekend walks, drop-in visits or evening care. I'll always make sure your pet gets the time, attention and care they deserve, and I'll keep you updated throughout. Your pet's safety and happiness will always come first. I have a fully fenced, secure garden where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time. I'll always follow your pet's usual routine, whether that's feeding times, medication, favourite walking routes or any little quirks that make them unique. I understand that every pet is different, so I'll take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while they're in my care.
“Brilliant! The level of communication was perfect & the photos reassured us that all was well. Tofi is only 4 months so we asked a friend to house sit & Charlotte walked Tofs twice a day. We will definitely use Charlotte again as we felt confident that she would look after her.”
About: I’ve had 30 years of experience of being a dog owner. Ranging from small breeds such as a westie to a Rottweiler. I regularly walk and sit my sisters Australian labradoodle. Pet care fits comfortably into my routine, allowing me to give your dog my full attention during visits and walks. I aim to be flexible where possible and communicate clearly about availability to ensure reliability and consistency. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my priority at all times. I follow routines carefully, respect feeding and medication instructions, and ensure secure handling on walks. I take a calm, attentive approach and always assess environments for safety. If your dog is comfortable travelling in the car, I’m happy to incorporate walks in nearby green spaces for variety and enrichment. Transport would always be discussed in advance and carried out safely. Clear communication is important to me, and I will keep you updated so you feel confident and reassured while your dog is in my care.

They were very quick to reply and also asked questions to understand what Alfie needs in order to take best care of him. We got daily updates which were lovely - Alfie seemed so happy. It went so well that we’ve rebooked for our little boy to stay with them again. Would definitely recommend them, they are lovely 🐾 ♥️”
“Mush became part of Lauren’s family whilst he stayed there which is all a dog mum could want. Kept me updated throughout with lots of pics. Mush was spoilt rotten with lots of walks and cuddles”
“Sarah and her adorable pugs took such wonderful care of our dog. We received regular updates, including photos and videos from her many nature walks, and when we returned, she seemed completely at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“Our dog Winston had a wonderful time with Anna and Bruno. He was very well looked after with plenty of park visits and lots of updates and videos throughout his stay. We were reassured knowing he was safe and being looked after just like he was their own dog. Winston seemed very happy and comfortable in their home when I picked him up. He will definitely be staying with Anna again.”
“Jess was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Margot. We received regular updates and photos, and we could clearly see that Margot was having a great time with Jess and Pepper. Jess took Margot on some lovely walks and did some lovely activities with her, but she was also very understanding and respectful of our requests for caring for Margot. We highly recommend Jess.”
About: I’ve looked after dogs with all sorts of personalities, from playful and energetic pups to gentle, cuddly companions. I enjoy getting to know each dog and making sure they feel comfortable, settled and happy in my care. 🐾 I’ve always loved animals and enjoy spending time with them. I love getting to know each pet — whether they’re playful, cuddly, energetic or a little shy! 🥰 I work from home full time and am also home on weekends, so your pets get plenty of walks, playtime & cuddles throughout the day! I’m happy to follow their usual routines and make sure they feel safe, settled and at home. I treat each pet like one of my own and make sure they have a fun and comfortable stay. 🐶🐾❤️ I want every pet to feel safe, relaxed and completely at home during their stay. I’ll also keep you in the loop with regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your little one is happy, comfortable and being well looked after. 🐾
About: Some of my earliest and kindest memories are of growing up with two amazing black labs. Not a year has gone by since without dogs playing a big part in my life. From having then as pets through to dogsitting as I grew up, I adore spending time with our furry four-legged friends. I have a friendly and sociable labradoodle called Ellie who will put any visiting friend at ease; be it playing in the garden or snoozing together on the sofa while I read. I'm currently working flexibly from home so am able to spend most of my day with your dog. I have several parks nearby where I can take them for walks however often they need, plus a back garden they can relax in. We have a very pet-friendly home (it was necessary for our own dog, Ellie!). The back garden is fenced with both sun and shade. I'll always tailor the environment to suit your dog, ensuring they are comfortable and happy while staying - be it a quiet space to sleep, or if they prefer sleeping in the bedroom with me.
“Alessia provided a very nice and warm stay for our Bean! Providing her all the care and love that she needs. Giving us constant updates and great pictures we were very happy on how chilled it was and how easy everything went. 100% happy and totally thankful.”
“Charlotte & family are fantastic doggy sitters! Lani felt right at home straight away and clearly had a lovely time. Their dog, Roy, is the sweetest little boy who welcomed Lani into his home with ease. Charlotte updated me about how she was getting on and we felt very comfortable with her being there. Will definitely book again, thank you!”
“Murphy had a fabulous time, Corinne very much put us at ease and sent us lots of fabulous photos of him looking very relaxed in her home . Thank you for looking after him so wonderfully x”
About: I’m a genuine animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities and sizes. Although I’m just starting out as a professional pet sitter, I’ve spent years looking after pets for friends, family, and neighbours. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from small to large breeds, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping them company while their owners are away. I also have plenty of experience with cats. I previously lived in a house share with a rescued cat, who I helped care for daily. My mum has a cat, and I regularly look after him whenever my mum is on holiday or when they come to visit me. In addition, I often help neighbours by providing house-sitting services for their cats — feeding them, cleaning litter trays, and spending time playing with them to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m responsible, reliable, and organised. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to look after your pet and make sure they feel relaxed, loved, and well looked after while you’re away. I work full time, but pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I’m available on weekends, and I also occasionally work from home, which gives me additional flexibility during the week. On working days, I’m happy to do house visits before or after work, and in many cases even during my lunch break. This allows me to provide consistent care such as feeding, playtime, litter tray cleaning, walks, and general check-ins. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure each pet receives reliable, attentive care and quality time. I understand how important routine is for animals, and I always aim to fit pet care around their needs while keeping owners updated and reassured. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and routine, whether I’m caring for them in my home or visiting them in their own home. The services I offer include feeding, playtime, walks, and cleaning litter trays. I make sure pets are well fed, exercised, mentally stimulated, and feel comfortable and relaxed while in my care. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special requirements. In my home, pets have access to a large, secure fenced garden where they can safely play, explore, and enjoy outdoor time. Indoors, I provide a calm and welcoming environment and make sure pets receive plenty of attention and companionship. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine so they feel secure. This includes feeding, walks or playtime, cleaning litter trays, and spending quality time with them to ensure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. My priority is always to make sure pets feel safe, entertained, and well cared for.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for several years and have experience with different breeds, including bulldogs and huskies. I also have a dog of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily care, walks, playtime, and giving dogs lots of attention and love. Im currently working part time around 3 to 4 days in the week. I am almost always available on weekends especially on Sunday's but i am willing to work around to help look after your pets I’m a pet owner myself and have a small dog who loves spending time in our fenced backyard and going on daily walks. She would enjoy having a walking buddy to keep her company. I live in a house so your dog would be cared for in a loving, safe, and spacious home with plenty of attention and room.
About: I previously had a wonderful senior dog, so I understand that not every dog wants (or can manage) long walks. As he got older, we adapted his routine to suit him, with shorter, gentler walks and plenty of time to sniff and explore at his own pace. He was also deaf in his later years, so I became very aware of how important it is to approach dogs calmly and thoughtfully to avoid startling them. That experience taught me to be patient. Whether your dog is young and full of energy or enjoying their senior years, I'll always take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and happy. I'll be available Friday to Sunday evenings, making me a great option for weekend walks, drop-in visits or evening care. I'll always make sure your pet gets the time, attention and care they deserve, and I'll keep you updated throughout. Your pet's safety and happiness will always come first. I have a fully fenced, secure garden where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time. I'll always follow your pet's usual routine, whether that's feeding times, medication, favourite walking routes or any little quirks that make them unique. I understand that every pet is different, so I'll take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while they're in my care.
“Hannah was so great with our little Alfie - she was interested to understand what he likes / dislikes first, agreed to do a meet up to make sure it’ll all work smoothly and Alfie had a fun time staying with them. Also very quick replying and very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely book again and would recommend! 😊”
“Brad is a great dog sitter, he’s taken Flo a few times and she’s always very excited to see him/get to his house. We get regular updates as well as pictures and videos and Brad takes Flo on long walks. Highly recommend him!”
