“We chose one of the hottest days of the year to leave our black and white border collie with Stacey. She was so good with him. He just wanted to stay cool in the hall and she gave him a fan and lots of water. Communication with Stacey was excellent from start to finish. As we were travelling a distance, we were unable to have a meet and greet but it was so reassuring when Stacey was keen to enquire about Robbie’s likes and dislikes before he boarded with her. I would have no hesitation in asking Stacey to look after Robbie if we are in the area again.”
“Theo 🐕 had a fantastic stay over the bank holiday weekend. We really loved receiving the updates how our dog was doing and what he was up to. Liudmyla was great at communicating friendly and really put me at ease leaving my dog with her. Her and her family took great care of him and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take such love and care of their dog. Thank you so much Liudmyla and family.”
“We were so worried leaving our 3month old puppy, but Guy and his family were so welcoming when we met them, and have a lovely home. We were given so much reassurance from as soon as we booked with Guy that Maverick would be fine. Guy gave us daily updates on Maverick and it looked like he had the best time too. We will definitely be using Guy again and would 100% recommend him and his family.”
“Thank you Alex for giving Chewy such a wonderful stay! Alex is a really diligent and considerate pet sitter; she really took the time to get to know Chewy - who is an elderly boy - ahead of his stay. During his stay she provided lots of updates that provided a lot of reassurance to us. We wouldn't hesitate to use Alex again.”
“Sarah took really good care of Joey, he was really happy when i saw him and full of energy, he’s also been a lot calmer since he’s come back and can’t thank her enough for looking after him as I know he can be a handful”
“Nellie is an Excellent Dog Sitter, Very Friendly, Helpful & was updated on how my dog was doing. Buddy was really happy when I picked him up & I would use this sitter again without hesitation. Thank you again.”
“Thank you so much to Billy & Paige for looking after our little dog Poppy. Poppy is 13 and it is the first time we have ever left her with anyone other than family. We had a family wedding abroad so needed to book Poppy into a loving home to look after her whilst we were all away. We were very apprehensive about it but Paige & Billy certainly put our minds at rest. We had an introduction meeting beforehand which certainly put our minds at rest. Poppy loved her stay and we had regular updates & photos. Would 100% recommend Billy & Paige to anyone looking for a loving home for their pets. We would definitely use their services again. Thank you from all of us and Poppy ❤️”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Leaving our elderly dog for two weeks was a big deal for us, but Maddi and her partner immediately put us at ease and made us feel confident he was in the safest, kindest hands. He needs medication, and they handled everything brilliantly while keeping us updated with regular messages and the loveliest photos of him enjoying walks and snuggling with their dogs. It meant so much to see how relaxed and cared for he was while we were away. We were especially grateful for their flexibility and understanding when our return flights were delayed. They went above and beyond to help us out. We came home to a happy, well-looked-after boy. Highly recommended.”
“Lyn looked after my dog, Candy, for a week while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. She is such a sweet, kind, and caring person, and it was clear that Candy was in safe and loving hands throughout. Lyn kept me updated every day with messages and photos, which really put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my time away without worrying. It was so reassuring to see how happy and well cared for Candy was. I would highly recommend Lyn to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring to look after their pet. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Candy!”
“Thank you so much for looking after Coco, I know she was a bit reactive towards other doggies this time but hopefully she will be ok and be a good girl if you have her again. I just hope this time hasn’t put you off looking after her as she always seems to have such a lovely time with you and Jamie x”
“Kat and her partner provided excellent care for our family dog over the Easter weekend , creating a real home from home environment for him . I couldn’t recommend them enough, we also got regular updates and pics and the communication was smooth from initial booking to drop up / pick up ! 10/10 xx”
“Teddy always comes home happy after staying with Erika. I get sent pictures every now and then which is lovely. I know she takes good care of him and he is treated like part of the family. Thank you 😊”
“Aleks is absolutely amazing and am so pleased to have found someone to look after Obi whenever we are away. He was made to feel a part of their family and we received pictures and videos on a daily basis so I knew he was having a great time. Thank you so much, Obi will definitely be seeing you again soon! X”
“I could not be happier with Honey and Bernie's stay with Lai. They were very settled as soon as they arrived, and I received lots of photos and updates throughout their stay. I knew both dogs were very happy and relaxed, as they did not make any fuss when I came to collect them. I cannot recommend Lai highly enough.”
“Amazing sitter. Matthew was absolutely brilliant with our five year old English bulldog. He was very approachable with great communication from the beginning. I was nervous about leaving our dog during the festive season as this was our first Christmas apart but the updates he sent showed how well he was treating Cam taking him to spend the day with his family all very inclusive he even got him a wrapped gift which I thought was wonderful and very thoughtful! Cam looked relaxed and happy in all the pictures and videos we got. I will absolutely use Matthew again and highly recommend him as a pet sitter. Thank you again for looking so well after Cam!”

“She was wonderful, and she kindly kept us updated daily with photos of Freya. Freya is a rather shy cat, and it's difficult for her to connect with people, amazingly they bonded quickly and we are overjoyed.”
“Gemma was amazing looking after our fur babies, they were well looked after and played with and we had daily updates and pictures , so we were reassured they were ok. Thanks Gemma”
“Jemma was fantastic!!! Our cat is quite fussy with who he likes but he connected with Jemma on her initial visit which was great!! Was really good at keeping us updated with pics and messages. Our cat clearly enjoyed her company, thank you for being amazing! If you need someone to look after your pet, make sure its Jemma!”

“Michelle is an excellent cat sitter. She gave clear updates every day with photos, letting us know how our cats were doing. Under her care they were happy, healthy, and well-entertained. She played with them and made them feel comfortable. We will definitely ask Michelle for help again in the future.”
“Couldn't be more happy! Myself and my partner were getting married, and due to a last-minute cancellation by a friend, we were desperate for someone to come and pop in to see our cat, Verity was available very last minute and couldn't have been more helpful, she came to meet Roe a few days before the visit and we came home to a very happy cat! Verity's update and photos were also very much appreciated reassuring us that our baby girl was happy, we will definitely be booking Verity again in the future.”
About: (New to the site and willing to offer discounts to new clients in exchange for reviews. Message me✨) Hi, I’m Tayla – a proud Crazy Cat Lady and the biggest animal lover you’ll ever meet! I live in Leighton Buzzard with my partner and our 10 cats! I'm a self employed cleaner but I’ve spent over 15 years rescuing and rehabilitating neglected cats in my personal life 🐱
About: I have always loved cats, seeing them almost everyday on the way to school and work I would spend a lot of time with them…where I’d become late😂. But I fell so in love with them that on my 13th birthday my family got me a kitten of my own and he is my best friend. I know the tendencies of cats and the difference in body language, so I will be the purrrfect acquaintance to keep them company!
About: I’ve taken care of cats for most of my life, having my own from the age of 6, and grew up around a variety of pets, including rescue animals. I often care for pets of my friends and family - cats, dogs, hamsters, rabbits, goldfish, you name it! I’m a huge animal lover and treat them all like they’re my own (even random cats on the street…)
“What a find… We didn’t know Yasmin prior to connecting with her here on CIAF, but we’re delighted to have found her. Her professional support was terrific and her daily updates and pics of a contented cat were reassuring. We returned to an immaculate house and a content, happy cat! Thanks millions Yasmin!”
“Alisha stepped in on very short notice to care for my cat Joy, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She was attentive, responsible, and clearly cared about Joy’s wellbeing. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Joy was in good hands. I’d definitely recommend Alisha to anyone needing pet care.”
“Oliver is absolutely amazing! Looked after my cat Poppy for 2 weeks, in house cat sitting. Kept me up to date with Poppys goings on everyday which was exactly what I needed. She’s happy and chilled and i will be using Oliver again, for sure! Poppy trusts him completely which is a godsend. Thank you Oliver!!”
About: Raised on a family farm in rural Ireland, animals of all shapes and sizes have come into my life. Cats have always been a staple companion and they have been present for as long as I can remember. I became a cat owner myself in 2014, adopting two rescues with my partner, doing so only after we had secured our own home. Both have since passed away (Jackson and Pepper) and now Blue is the king of the jungle. Cats are their own people. They judge fairly and will come to you and sit upon your lap should they deem you worthy of their attentions.
“We had such a wonderful experience with Abigail. She is incredibly kind and thoughtful. She took an amazing care of Nala while we were away and kept us updated with regular messages and photos. We’re so grateful everything she did and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend! ”
“Gwyn did an amazing job. She kept me up to date with pictures and info so I knew my cats were in good hands. And esspecially as she was popping in over Christmas, definately above and beyond”
“Emma is so fab. Such a lovely person to book with and chat to, plus she is so trustworthy and great with animals. Made me feel so much better about leaving my cat overnight, knowing Emma was going to check in on her in the morning ☺️ Thanks so much Emma!!! ❤️”

“Sara is absolutely amazing, she bent over backwards to accommodate our awkward times and sent us loads of video updates during Geoffrey’s stay with her. I’m always a bit nervous to leave my big bouncy giant Schnauzer with new people, but Sara has a fantastic understanding of dogs and I knew he was in safe hands, having lots of fun and plenty of love. He will definitely be back. 😍”
About: I offer a pet friendly home with our un neutered Spinger Spaniel Billy and 2 cats, right next door to a large woodland (under 5 min walk). I have been taken care of dogs for friends and family for over 5 years. With my neighbours dog as regular visitor on weekdays and holiday visits from various other spaniels and terriers across the year all whom have been visiting since very small puppies. I’m experienced with puppies, middle age and older dogs. I work from home, so no dog are ever left alone and if they are staying over your pet will have its own room and bed. There are no furniture rules in this house we all cuddle up on sofas together and become one of the family. I walk in the woods 2/3 times a day for dogs that need to burn out that excessive engergy. However if your dog would prefer to just cudddle up with me on an electric blanket then this also if always on offer. I work from home everyday. As I have a spaniel, regular walks are part our daily routine, morning, afternoon and if it is a nice evening sometimes in the evening. I’m home most weekends and wouldn’t accept your request if i were to be away. I have a back garden that’s fenced in and big back doors so access when ever required. I own a friendly springer spaniel and 2 cats. I live next to the woods so if your dog does need some energy burning off, this can be easily be arranged.

“Alex was great with looking after Rufus for us. Communication was fantastic throughout the booking and daycare. Alex was really accommodating and was happy to have a meet and greet with Rufus beforehand so he could get to know her. Would be more than happy leaving Rufus with Alex again!”
“Mali absolutely loves her visits to Karolina and Jamie! The moment we pull up, she’s eager to hop out of the car, tail wagging with excitement as soon as the doorbell rings. We’re always delighted to receive updates about her adventures and playful moments with their adorable puppy, Skye. It’s clear these two are well on their way to becoming the best of friends!”

We have recently moved to the Leighton Buzzard area and I’m taking some time off theatre so I’m very free and flexible.

Before joining Rover we have been offering dog sitting/waking services to many people in the village where I grew up. Through this we have gained experience in looking after dogs of all shapes and sizes, from a little old yorkie terrier to 3 young french spaniels. I have also grown up always having cats so have a lot of experience furry felines too. I am freelance and currently have a quiet period before my next theatre project so I am very flexible and can cater to your needs.

Coupled with my year as a dog groomer's assistant I have a well rounded skillset that will enable me to provide your pet with the best care.

“Matthew was quick to respond and able to look after Casper at short notice. He took excellent care of him for the day and made sure all his needs were met. Matthew was calm and confident and gave us all the reassurance we needed to make sure Casper was comfortable. We’d definitely book with him again!”
“This was our first time with Lai Yan. Kasper really enjoyed his day. Such a clean, comfortable home. Very considerate about Kasper’s needs, caring and gentle and provided a lot of updates and pictures to reassure us. They are very friendly and patient.

About: 💛 Pet Care Experience 🐾 Hi, I’m Nicole — a loving pet sitter and proud mom to a five-year-old. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for a wide range of pets, including Shiba Inus, Chihuahuas, British Shorthair cats, stray cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, and even fish. From newborn animals who need gentle, round-the-clock care to senior pets who require patience and extra attention, I always adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. 🐶 Professional Experience & Training I hold a Certificate in Dog Behaviour and Training, which allows me to understand canine body language and respond in a calm, positive, and reassuring way. Whether your dog is shy, energetic, reactive, or simply needs companionship, I focus on making them feel safe, relaxed, and understood. 💊 Special Care Skills I am also experienced in administering oral medication (tablets and liquid), always prioritising your pet’s comfort and reducing stress during the process. 👩👧 Personal Touch As a mother, I’ve developed strong patience, empathy, and responsibility — qualities that naturally extend into how I care for animals. I truly believe every pet deserves kindness, respect, and a calm, loving environment where they feel secure. As a mother, I spend most of my time at home, so I have the flexibility to care for pets and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. With years of experience caring for Shiba Inus, Chihuahuas, British Shorthair cats, stray cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, and fish, I provide compassionate, tailored pet care in my home or the pet owner’s home, depending on the service offered. My Certificate in Dog Behavior and Training enhances my ability to understand canine body language, ensuring calm and positive interactions, while my experience with diverse animals allows me to adapt to each pet’s unique needs, from playful newborns to senior pets requiring extra patience. In-Home Pet Sitting: In the owner’s home, I follow their specific instructions for feeding, watering, and administering oral medications (pills or liquids) gently to minimize stress. I provide exercise, such as walks for dogs or interactive play for cats, tailored to their energy levels and preferences. For example, I might engage a Shiba Inu with a brisk walk or play feather games with a British Shorthair. I monitor health and behavior closely, offering reassurance to shy or anxious pets and maintaining a clean environment by tidying litter boxes or feeding areas. Dog Walking or Daily Visits: For dog walking, I customize routes and durations to suit each dog’s needs, from energetic Chihuahuas to senior pups, always carrying water and owner-approved treats. During daily visits, I provide feeding, play, or litter box cleaning, ensuring consistency. I send photo updates to keep owners informed. My gentle approach to medication administration and understanding of pet behavior ensure every animal feels loved and secure. I communicate regularly with owners to provide peace of mind, adapting my care to each pet’s personality and needs, whether furry, feathery, or finned.
About: I have been a passionate animal lover and caretaker for over 5 years. Friends, family, and neighbors regularly rely on me to drop in, feed, walk, and play with their pets while they are away. I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they get plenty of affection, exercise, and attention. Whether your dog loves long energetic walks or prefers cozy cuddles on the couch, I'm happy to accommodate their unique personality and routine! As a self-employed business owner, I have a highly flexible schedule that allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I can dedicate plenty of time to playing, feeding, and walking your dogs. My routine gives me the freedom to offer reliable checking-in services, ensuring your pet is never left waiting and receives undivided attention exactly when they need it. Safety and peace of mind are my absolute top priorities. I live in a pet-friendly household with a fully secure, enclosed garden where dogs can safely stretch their legs and play. Whether I am looking after your pet in my home or yours, I maintain a clean, calm, and hazard-free environment. I am incredibly attentive to a dog's body language to ensure they always feel secure and happy.
“Kindly took our last minute booking. Bean had the best time with Helen and Winston (her beautiful dog) for a whole day with a few photo and video updates throughout. Would recommend and book again!”
“Delighted we could leave our special baby girl, Mabel, with Myla. Beautiful house in lovely area. Mabel was very happy to be left, so off we went. Collected Mabel a little early, but that wasn’t a problem for Myla. Mabel got on well with the other dog (a huge long haired golden Labrador who was very friendly) there and Myla is very easy to talk to and friendly. Will definitely use Myla next time we are in the area. Thanks so much.”
About: DBS checked and experience with pets. Myself have 2 dogs and experienced in caring for cats and small pets of all personalities, from playful kittens to anxious large breed dogs who need extra patience and gentle care. I focus on building trust, keeping routines consistent, and making pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾 Pet care fits perfectly into my routine as I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to plan visits and spend quality time with each pet. Whether it’s a morning check-in, playtime, or evening cuddles, I can easily adjust my schedule to make sure your pets get the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. 🐾 When caring for pets in their own home, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain their usual routine and sense of comfort. I make sure food, water, and litter are kept clean and safe, and I pay attention to doors, windows, and any house rules to prevent escapes or accidents. I take time to build trust with each pet — moving at their pace, offering gentle interaction, and creating a calm, caring environment where they feel secure and loved.
“It warmed my heart to see Deyka happy playing well with Jackson, and vice versa. Reminds me that I've done a good job with him. And, it showed me how loved Jackson has been by Simon and Joanna. I had complete piece of mind throughout, and you can't put a price on that. Have already booked again, for more fun playful photo ops! 😋 Thanks, guys.”

“Our dog Baxter loves spending time with Jemma, she’s been so friendly and communicative with us and sends lots pictures and videos when she’s with him, we can see how he is very comfortable and happy in her company.”
About: Hi there — I’m Sara! Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is what I truly love. Whether you’ve got a playful pup who thrives on activity, a chilled companion who prefers gentle company, or a senior dog who needs a slower pace and extra care, I make sure every guest feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Dog Daycare - Supervised playgroups matched by size, age, and temperament - Enrichment, walks, and structured rest breaks - Photo/video updates so you can follow the fun Dog Boarding - Comfortable, home-from-home stays with cosy sleep setups - Routine kept consistent (your dog’s own food, schedule, and comforts) - Medication administered and special diets supported Safety & Standards - Temperament meet-and-greet before the first visit - Vaccination and health requirements in place - Clean and secure environment My aim is simple: you relax, knowing your dog is getting plenty of love, enrichment, and cuddles — and will come home content and happily tired. Because I work from home, pet care is woven into my day. I already have a dog, so regular walks and toilet breaks are part of my routine and easily extended to guests. A typical day looks like: - Morning: Up to 1 hour walk, then breakfast. - Lunchtime: neighbourhood walk to stretch legs and reset. - Evening: walk, dinner, and a final let-out before bed. If not cold, my garden door is always open so your pups can go in and out as he/she wants. If not, regular toilet breaks are provided. I tailor frequency for puppies or seniors, can administer meds, and keep your dog’s schedule consistent. With supervised introductions, friendly dogs can socialise with mine; if needed, I’m also set up to keep dogs separate and calm. You’ll get updates throughout the day so you can relax knowing their needs are covered. Secure setup: I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. Friendly resident dog: Introductions are slow and supervised, and I can keep dogs separate if they prefer solo time. Flexible spaces: I use baby gates to manage zones. I can crate your dog on request to match training or provide a cosy den. Clean & hazard-free: I keep a tidy home, store food/chemicals out of reach, use pet-safe cleaning products, most of them are plant-based. Constant supervision: I work from home, so dogs get regular toilet breaks, walks, and check-ins throughout the day, plus structured rest. Health & wellbeing: I follow your dog’s routine (diet, meds, cues). I ask for up-to-date vaccinations and your vet’s contact for peace of mind. Comfortable sleep: Quiet, comfy sleeping areas—happy to use your dog’s own bed/blanket to keep things familiar. Clear communication: You’ll receive photo/video updates and honest feedback. I do a meet-and-greet before the first stay to align on needs and temperament. Out & about: Walks are on-lead unless you’ve approved off-lead time in a secure area. ID tags and safety checks are standard.
“Emma is such a nice person and generally loves dogs - she’s very professional, punctual and keeps you updated throughout. I’m so pleased I have found her to walk my pup, I would recommend her 100 times over. Thank you Emma x”
About: While I am new to professional pet sitting as a business, I have a lifetime of hands on experience caring for animals. For 15 years, my family and I raised our beloved dog from a puppy into his senior years. This taught me everything about the daily dedication pets require, from basic obedience and strict feeding schedules to managing the specialised, gentle care that senior dogs need as they age. Additionally, for over a year, I have been an active volunteer at an animal rescue shelter. This experience has been invaluable. It has trained me to patiently work with dogs of various shapes, sizes, and backgrounds. Through the rescue, I am comfortable handling high energy dogs, shy or nervous rescues, and enforcing consistent training commands. I work in a hybrid mode, which gives me fantastic flexibility throughout the week. For House Sitting, I work from home half of the workweek and can keep your pet company during my working hours. I am also easily able to take your dog out for two quick wee breaks, as well as a nice, longer walk during my lunchtime. For Dog Walking and Drop-In Visits during weekdays, I am available to pop by during my lunch break between 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM, as well as anytime after 5:00 PM in the evenings. On Weekends, my schedule is completely free all day for any of these services to focus entirely on giving your pets the love and attention they need. Because I do not board pets at my own home, I focus 100% of my attention on caring for your pets in the comfort of their own area. Keeping them in their familiar environment dramatically reduces their stress. My priority is safety and trust. I strictly follow your specific instructions, maintain their usual feeding and walking routines, and keep your home secure.
About: Hi! I’m Guy, a massive dog lover based in Wing village, surrounded by beautiful countryside and plenty of lovely walks right on our doorstep. Dogs have always been a big part of my life: I grew up with a loyal German Shepherd, later had several energetic Border Collies, and now share my home with our calm and friendly Labrador. Over the years, we’ve also welcomed many friends’ dogs into our home while they were away, so I’m very used to caring for dogs with all sorts of personalities and routines. I was lucky enough to retire early, which means I have lots of time to dedicate to the things I enjoy - staying active, being outdoors, and spending time with dogs. I’m usually at home apart from short school runs for our two boys (aged 9 and 8), who both love animals and know how to treat them gently and respectfully. My wife also mostly works from home, so your dog will never be short of company, walks, or cuddles. We have a secure, fully fenced garden that’s perfect for safe outdoor play and relaxation. Since we have our own Labrador, it’s ideal if your dog is comfortable around other dogs and children. Whether your dog enjoys long adventures or prefers a gentle stroll and quiet naps, I’ll adapt to their personality and make sure they feel at home. At home full time other than school runs while my wife also regularly works from home. I generally walk the dogs twice a day while my wife also adds additional walks. Our garden is fully fenced as we have our own dog so understand the security it requires. Our dog does come upstairs although she does sneak up to watch my wife home work and prefer this in visiting dogs.
“Jimmy loves Oliver and he is great with him. Oliver is great at staying in touch and sending regular updates and photos. I would highly recommend him for walks and dog sitting.”
About: I run my own full time dog walking and pet sitting business, Little Paws Pet Care 🐾 My background includes studies in Animal Care at school and at Shuttleworth College. I am Canine First Aid trained and have experience with senior dogs and looking after pets with medical conditions. I also have two rabbits named Eevee and Luna, they are rescue sisters and are 8 years old 🐰 Managing my business on a full time basis, some of my walk slots are already taken, but I do have limited availability. Aside from weekdays, I offer my services during the evenings and weekends, please be aware that these slots are filling up quickly! When pet sitting, I prioritise a safe and cozy atmosphere. I achieve this by thoroughly understanding and following the owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, exercise routines, and any specific needs the pets may have. I always send regular updates, including photos and videos.
“Georgina was great with my little Yorkie, very patient and kind. I highly reccomend Georgina, she is reliable and sent regular updates of walks with photos and routes taken 😊”

I just adore all animals, my dream is to open a rescue abroad and care for all the waifs and strays. Currently work Part time for the NHS and spend my afternoons and evenings caring for my animals and other peoples. Am available at weekends also and bank hols. I will even water the plants, put the bins out, open and close curtains. Safety is everything to me and keeping the pets happy and content.
About: I am easygoing, but not at all a pushover. I like to think I have a firm but gentle touch, and have a good degree of empathy. Having worked with animals - from horses to cats to dogs to chickens! - my experiences of their psychology have stood me in good stead when making new four- (and two!) legged acquaintances. I've always thought dogs to be some of the best judges of character and human nature, and honestly, you just can't hide your own true self from their animal instincts. They see, they know and they will make up their own mind about you whether you like it or not! As for cats, well, they are an enigma wrapped in a mystery drowning in a tub of Dreamies. Would we change them? Never! So all I can say is, if I meet your dog/cat/chicken and they give their paw/claw of approval, what better endorsement is there? Dog walking, cat sitting and general animal care if my full time business, and I make myself available most weekends. I have no problem with short notice bookings and take extra care to always heed to concerns and needs of my clients. I don’t board dogs or cats at my own residence as this would be too stressful for my own cat boss, but am happy to housesit if available to do so. This has always proved to be a more agreeable arrangement as there is no place like home for a dog or cat who are as much a member of the family as any other relative!
About: I have been around animals all my life, we always had pets in the house growing up and as a teen I would often cat and dog sit for friends and family then I went on to study animal care at college for 2 years, volunteered at an animal shelter for 3 years and have had many kennel and cattery jobs since then and done plenty of dog walking on the side and currently still working part time at a kennels and have my own dog at home Having been around and worked with animals so much I enjoy being around them more than people, animals are my passion and I am experienced in reading animals body language and understanding them as best I can, I am also experienced in working with both puppies/kittens and senior dogs and cats I'm now currently working full time so I may not always be available during some weekdays, I try to keep my rover calendar updates around my work rota Since I have a dog at home that is not always a fan of other dogs I won't be taking care of dogs in my home and due to my work I no longer do overnight house sittings but I'm always happy to drop in and check up/hang out with your dog or cat when available and I'm happy to do dog walks. I understand having someone else in your home can be unnerving but I pride myself on being respectful of other people's property when in your homes. As for pet care I will do whatever tasks you ask, I love instructions so any info you have on your pet and their routine is much appreciated so I can offer the same level of care their owner usually would
About: 💛 Pet Care Experience 🐾 Hi, I’m Nicole — a loving pet sitter and proud mom to a five-year-old. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for a wide range of pets, including Shiba Inus, Chihuahuas, British Shorthair cats, stray cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, and even fish. From newborn animals who need gentle, round-the-clock care to senior pets who require patience and extra attention, I always adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. 🐶 Professional Experience & Training I hold a Certificate in Dog Behaviour and Training, which allows me to understand canine body language and respond in a calm, positive, and reassuring way. Whether your dog is shy, energetic, reactive, or simply needs companionship, I focus on making them feel safe, relaxed, and understood. 💊 Special Care Skills I am also experienced in administering oral medication (tablets and liquid), always prioritising your pet’s comfort and reducing stress during the process. 👩👧 Personal Touch As a mother, I’ve developed strong patience, empathy, and responsibility — qualities that naturally extend into how I care for animals. I truly believe every pet deserves kindness, respect, and a calm, loving environment where they feel secure. As a mother, I spend most of my time at home, so I have the flexibility to care for pets and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. With years of experience caring for Shiba Inus, Chihuahuas, British Shorthair cats, stray cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, and fish, I provide compassionate, tailored pet care in my home or the pet owner’s home, depending on the service offered. My Certificate in Dog Behavior and Training enhances my ability to understand canine body language, ensuring calm and positive interactions, while my experience with diverse animals allows me to adapt to each pet’s unique needs, from playful newborns to senior pets requiring extra patience. In-Home Pet Sitting: In the owner’s home, I follow their specific instructions for feeding, watering, and administering oral medications (pills or liquids) gently to minimize stress. I provide exercise, such as walks for dogs or interactive play for cats, tailored to their energy levels and preferences. For example, I might engage a Shiba Inu with a brisk walk or play feather games with a British Shorthair. I monitor health and behavior closely, offering reassurance to shy or anxious pets and maintaining a clean environment by tidying litter boxes or feeding areas. Dog Walking or Daily Visits: For dog walking, I customize routes and durations to suit each dog’s needs, from energetic Chihuahuas to senior pups, always carrying water and owner-approved treats. During daily visits, I provide feeding, play, or litter box cleaning, ensuring consistency. I send photo updates to keep owners informed. My gentle approach to medication administration and understanding of pet behavior ensure every animal feels loved and secure. I communicate regularly with owners to provide peace of mind, adapting my care to each pet’s personality and needs, whether furry, feathery, or finned.
About: I have had various experience with a few dogs since i started this, I also owned have had my own dog until she died, and I have owned a cat for 4 years. I also grew up around lots of pets. I am a strong built women so I am able to handle larger dogs and pulling on walks. Animals tend to just love me and always listen to me this helps me to take care of your pets with ease I work from home most days on 830-330pm. This allows me to be flexible with my hours and i am able to work from any location. This gives me the time to help take care of other peoples fur babies. I live on a ground floor flat. So my cat has the freedom to come and go as she pleases with the window always purched open for her. I experience with many different types of dogs, big and small and nervous dogs, young and old i know how to manage each one acsording to their need. I know to listen to the owner and adapt how i approach each animal based on what i have been told.
“Jamie is fantastic. Duke was very happy to go on his walks and the feedback and support Jamie has shared in just a short amount of time has helped and has put me at ease. I feel very comfortable and happy that Jamie is our walker for Duke and I’m sure will bring Duke on leaps and bounds along his journey of development.”
About: I am new to Rover but have had my Dog Walking and Pet Sitting business for 8 years now. I have had some space become available for group walks, any day of the week with times to suit you. My van is fitted with specialist dog crates so your dog will be transported securely and comfortably ✅ Fully insured ✅ DBS checked ✅ Canine First Aid trained ✅ Dog Walking and Pet Sitting Diploma
About: I am an avid pet lover and I understand how important it is to know your pets are well looked after when you’re not around. My pets are family members and are well looked after and treated as an integral part of the family. Whilst working at Companion Care Vets, I was able to offer assistance in animal care, assist in operations, dispense and help administer medications, so I am well versed in the care of animals, especially those with additional needs. I was also able to offer my home to stray cats and dogs until they were rehomed. No dog or cat is too big or too small! I have cared for a few hour old kittens to Great Danes! I have a garden, transport and spare room in my house if animals wanted/required their own space. I work from home, so I am always around to shower your pet with love and spoil them with play time. It’s their holiday too! I have a self contained garden for toilet breaks and zoomies. I have a spare room in case the fur babies need their own space whilst staying with me.

“We were so worried leaving our 3month old puppy, but Guy and his family were so welcoming when we met them, and have a lovely home. We were given so much reassurance from as soon as we booked with Guy that Maverick would be fine. Guy gave us daily updates on Maverick and it looked like he had the best time too. We will definitely be using Guy again and would 100% recommend him and his family.”
“Nellie is an Excellent Dog Sitter, Very Friendly, Helpful & was updated on how my dog was doing. Buddy was really happy when I picked him up & I would use this sitter again without hesitation. Thank you again.”
“Thank you so much to Billy & Paige for looking after our little dog Poppy. Poppy is 13 and it is the first time we have ever left her with anyone other than family. We had a family wedding abroad so needed to book Poppy into a loving home to look after her whilst we were all away. We were very apprehensive about it but Paige & Billy certainly put our minds at rest. We had an introduction meeting beforehand which certainly put our minds at rest. Poppy loved her stay and we had regular updates & photos. Would 100% recommend Billy & Paige to anyone looking for a loving home for their pets. We would definitely use their services again. Thank you from all of us and Poppy ❤️”
“Thank you so much for looking after Coco, I know she was a bit reactive towards other doggies this time but hopefully she will be ok and be a good girl if you have her again. I just hope this time hasn’t put you off looking after her as she always seems to have such a lovely time with you and Jamie x”
“Amazing sitter. Matthew was absolutely brilliant with our five year old English bulldog. He was very approachable with great communication from the beginning. I was nervous about leaving our dog during the festive season as this was our first Christmas apart but the updates he sent showed how well he was treating Cam taking him to spend the day with his family all very inclusive he even got him a wrapped gift which I thought was wonderful and very thoughtful! Cam looked relaxed and happy in all the pictures and videos we got. I will absolutely use Matthew again and highly recommend him as a pet sitter. Thank you again for looking so well after Cam!”
“Great experience with Lisa and Andy, they took really good care of my 2 dogs and gave me updates and pictures whilst I was on holiday. Will definitely use them again, highly recommend 😊”

About: I absolutely love dogs and treat every pup as if they’re my own. I have personal experience caring for a large breed reactive rescue dog, which has given me a great deal of patience and understanding when it comes to dogs that need a little extra attention on their walks. I’m reliable, attentive and genuinely enjoy long walks, playtime and giving lots of cuddles. Since losing my own dog in March, I’ve got so much love to give, and I’d love to share it with your pup. Whether your dog loves energetic walks or prefers a slower sniff-around, I’m happy to match their pace and personality. My goal is always a happy, relaxed dog with a waggy tail (and a happy owner too!). As a previous Rover customer myself, I know how much regular photos and updates mean, so you can count on great communication and plenty of reassurance that your pup is in good hands. I’m always happy to do a meet and greet before to put you and your pup at ease. I run my own business and work from home regularly, which means I have flexibility throughout the week to fit pet care around my day. I already head out for a lunchtime walk most days, so I’m always happy to have some canine company along the way! On walks, I always keep dogs on a lead. When caring for your dog in your own home, your pet’s comfort and routine always come first. I’ll follow your instructions closely, stick to their usual schedule, and make sure they feel safe and settled the whole time. I’m attentive, patient and never take risks when it comes to someone else’s beloved pet. If your dog is boarding with us, they’ll be staying in a warm, welcoming home with a securely fenced garden, cosy beds and blankets, though you’re more than welcome to bring their own home comforts too! My husband and I are both at home regularly, so there’ll always be two of us around to keep your pup company and make sure they feel right at home.
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! I was the neighbourhood dog walker from a young age, and looking after dogs has been a big part of my life ever since. I had my own dog, Buddy, for 13 wonderful years, so I know how much trust is involved in leaving your dog in someone else’s care. I’m not currently looking to have my own dog because I really enjoy travelling and having the flexibility to explore when I can, but I absolutely miss having a dog around. Dog sitting gives me the perfect opportunity to spend time with dogs while giving owners some extra support!😊 I work from home, so I have lots of flexibility during the day and can give dogs plenty of company, attention and fuss. I have a house with a secure garden, a car and love getting out for walks and adventures, whether that’s a quick local walk or jumping in the car and heading somewhere new. My experience goes beyond my own dog too. I’ve helped raise a couple of litters of Hungarian Vizslas and English Springer Spaniels, and my uncle has a farm with working dogs, so I’ve been around a variety of dogs, personalities and energy levels over the years. I also volunteer with a dog charity, helping dogs socialise and build confidence before they’re ready to find their forever homes. I really enjoy getting to know each dog’s individual personality and working out what makes them happy and comfortable. Whether your dog is looking for an energetic walking buddy, some company while you’re at work, or simply someone to give them plenty of love and attention while you’re away, I’d love to help! 🐾🧡 I work from home and my job is low demand, so I have plenty of flexibility throughout the days and the week as a whole. This means I can give your dog lots of attention and company. I’m available for walks, drop-ins and daycare during the day, as well as evenings and weekends. I’m also happy to look after dogs for longer periods when needed, including holidays. I have a car too, so I can take dogs out to explore different walking spots and enjoy some adventures! Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness are my priority. I have a secure garden and a dog-friendly home, with plenty of space for your dog to relax and feel at home. I’m happy to follow your usual routines, including feeding, walks, medication or crate training if needed. I’ll always take the time to understand your dog’s personality, likes and needs before looking after them, and I’ll keep you updated so you can feel confident they’re happy and well cared for. Whilst your dog is in my care I would be more than happy to share pictures and updates with you too, so you can rest assured😊 At the weekends and some evenings my brother (over 18) and mum will be present, so please let me know if your dog is uncomfortable with men/ strangers. It can be arranged for you to meet them if that makes you more comfortable, thanks!🩵
“Camillo loved his stayed at Jake, I had peace of mind that he was well look after and loved. Good communication Jake send us photos and a video to share how Camillo was. I will definitely trust them to look after him for when we need it next. Highly appreciated and fully recommend them. Thank you so much x”
“Ashleigh and Cal were amazing. Definitely reccomend. Terry was super relaxed and happy to be with them, being spoilt and treated as if he was one of their own! Lots of updates throughout, Terry came back happy which is the best result.”
“We can’t recommend Rose and Tomak highly enough! They looked after our dogs, Reg and Flo, while we were away on holiday, and they were absolutely fantastic. From the moment we dropped them off, we knew they were in safe and caring hands. Rose and Tomak kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to relax and enjoy our holiday. Reg and Flo were so well cared for, loved, and treated like part of the family. They came home happy, healthy, and clearly had a wonderful time. It’s such a relief to know we’ve found people we can completely trust with our dogs. Thank you both so much for taking such amazing care of Reg and Flo. We wouldn’t hesitate to use you again and would recommend you to anyone looking for reliable, caring dog sitters!”
“Outstanding sitters! Jasmin and Ted were absolute lifesavers when we had a last-minute three-night hospital stay for the birth of our baby. They welcomed our cockapoo, Eddie, with open arms and treated him like royalty. Their flexibility and kindness took a huge weight off our minds. We got lots of updates and photos of a very happy dog. We came home to a relaxed Eddie, which is the best sign of a wonderful stay. Cannot recommend and thank them highly enough!”
“Sinem responded to our crisis when we unfortunately got let down 4 weeks before our holiday. Our Sproodle, Webster, had a lovely time with Sinem and seemed to be happy when we picked him up. Got some lovely photos whilst we were away to see how he was doing. So I would be happy to recommend Sinem to others that want a dog boarding service.”
“This was Toby’s second stay with Alistair. Having had a previous 2 week stay, we knew that he would be well looked after. Toby settled into Alistair’s home and routine quickly and clearly felt at home. We had regular updates of all the walks, play and sofa cuddles that he had during his stay. We know that Toby will have all the benefits of a home away from home and would recommend.”
“I would like to thank Agnieszka and her lovely family for taking so much care of Luna. Wow. We were a bit worried to leave her but Agnieszka made sure she meet all Lunas needs. She kept us updates on a daily basis and her lovely family and her treated Luna as their own. She had so much fun and so much human interaction that I think she had a better holiday than we did. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and 100% we would use Agnieszka services again and again. 5 stars its not enough, you guys deserve more . Thank you once again! 🙏🙏🙏🙏”
