Samantha was amazing throughout the whole process! As someone who had never left their dog with someone else nor used the Rover app, Samantha put me right at ease! Rosie clearly loved the walks and time; Samantha was very knowledgeable from her experience in veterinary and kept me updated across the day. Would definitely recommend to anyone and also will definitely be booking again when needed, thanks Samantha!

About: Lifelong Dog Lover with Experience of All Breeds & Ages! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 8 years old where i grew up with West Highland Terriers. Over the years ive Looked after everything from tiny Chihuahuas to energetic Cocker Spaniels and large German Shepherds, other breeds include Dachshunds,labradoodles, Scottish Terriers, as well as senior dogs and rescues who need a little extra love and care. I have lived in several citys over the years all of which ive found myself dog sitting for friends and family or via borrow my doggie. I'm fortunate to have a remote job, which means I'm home every day and always available to provide your dog with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. With a flexible schedule, I'm able to fully integrate pet care into my daily routine, ensuring your pet never feels alone. I do ask that when considering to book me during weekdays please be aware I do not drive and therefore house sitting within my own home would be highly preferred due to the equipment i need access to for my job or please be within a 1 mile radius (walking distance) so pop ins are accessible. I love staying active, but working from home can make it tricky to hit my step goals, having a dog to walk and care for not only helps with that but also brings so much joy and structure to my day. With my partner working long hours, I often have a lot of solo time, so having a dog around genuinely lifts my spirits and gives me the best kind of company. I'm available for both weekday and weekend boarding, so if you're looking for a loving, attentive sitter, I’d be happy to help! In my home, your pet will be treated like part of the family. I prioritse creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment where your dog can relax, play, and feel at ease. I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine, ie feeding times, walk schedules, and any specific instructions you provide that way they feel secure and cared for just like they would at home. I’m mindful of individual needs, whether that means quiet time for older dogs or extra playtime for energetic pups. I always keep communication open with you through regular updates and photos. Im lucky to have a decent size garden which is fenced to allow for outside play time and toileting however please rest assure I would never leave dogs unattended when outside as you can never be to careful.

Amazing with Tilly who was initially nervous on her walk, understood her needs and provided a longer second walk after having to cut the first one short. Provided extra care by feeding her lunch. Was given access to a key to my house, trustworthy and reliable! Would 100% recommend, very professional service!

About: Since i was 9 i have always been brought up around dogs and for the past few years i have looked after many of my family members dogs while they have been on holidays. I also worked in a doggy day care for 2 years. Current just got my own house with my boyfriend so I will be free a lot of the time to take dogs in to look after while their owners are away. My home is a few minutes walk away from the rising sun country park! A great place for dogs to have fun and get tired out! I work from home through the week and my only day in the office is on a Monday. My work is pretty flexible so will have a lot of time to walk the dogs. I have a fenced back garden for the dogs to go out and play on as-well as a few good walk spots near by. I am willing to take the dogs out for as many walks as required.

About: I’ve always wanted to have a dog, but I didn’t have that kind of opportunity. So i chose a job that would bring me happiness and also can help other people. Since 17 ( 8 years) I helped my friends or neighbours to care after the dogs: walking, feeding and bathing - every kind of thing. I really love this job and I will put as many effort as I can to make my job good I’m currently self employed, so I have pretty flexible schedule. I’m available on both weekends and weekdays. But if you need me earlier we can discuss it before🤗 I had an experience of working in a pet owner’s house. My daily routine with dogs is walking, playing, and feeding. If you need I can also teach them a few commands and bring them to the vet

About: I’ve always loved pets, especially dogs. My family got first dog 3 years ago and have fell in love with the doggy world. I enjoy walks in local parks and training exercises with dogs, including little doggy photoshoots. I work full time at a local hospital, but very keen to spend my weekends and some evenings with other dogs in the local area and help people out when they need it. I have a friendly home environment, a safe and enclosed garden and fields within walking distance to keep pets active. I have one 3 year old dog who is friendly and playful to keep other dogs company.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs from all walks of life, from old to young and big to small. Every bit of love and attention is given to your fur baby to make sure they have the best stay possible! My job is fully remote, so my schedule is easily adjusted around the care of your dog or cat. I like to take walks around the local area and visit the quayside. Your fur baby is free to roam around my apartment, if their favourite bed is provided they can kip up in that, if not, I have a spare bed for them to rest. When I have a break, they get a break!

About: Hi PAW-rents🐾, I'm Aviral, a software engineer by profession and an ardent dog lover. I stay with my wife in Newcastle and we both love pets. I have raised 5 dogs ( Pomeranian, Golden Retriever and Golden Labrador) over the course of 20 years. We don't have any kids around so don't worry if your pet is not great with children. We live in a 3BHK house and have 2 (front and rear) garden spaces that dogs can use. There is a small park right in front of our house where we can take your dogs. As a previous dog owner myself I'm aware how dog care can come in the way of people planning for trips or travelling in emergencies. I'd love to help out all pet owners by taking care of their pets as my own & I love being around pets so I have my own interest at heart too 😉 When you reach us, we would arrange a meet and greet to know you and your pet and we would also like to hear your pet's caring needs. If both you and your dog feel comfortable with us, then we would confirm the booking. During our meet and greet, we would love to know: - how many walks your dog would need in a day & how long it should be - at what time he/she likes to eat and the proportion of food - if he/she has something we should take special attention such as allergy reactions to certain food or anxious reactions to certain things. If you have any specific requirements, please feel free to let us know. We would request all pet owners to provide their pets food as we would like to stick to their primary dietary requirements. During your dogs stay, we will keep you updated with photos and videos. We can assure your pet will be healthy, happy and safe with a ton of cuddles during their stay. I have a software engineering job however with a flexible work from home culture, I will be available at home whenever a dog is staying with us. My wife is currently freelancing, so she is available at home 24*7 on all days to provide timely care and attention to your pets. We are available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends. As dog sitters, we prioritize creating a comfortable and safe environment for pets. We ensure regular walks, playtime, and adhere to any specific dietary needs. We maintain a routine to minimize stress and provide companionship, ensuring the dog feels secure. Additionally, we stay attentive to their cues, offering affection and maintaining a clean and organized space. Clear communication with the owner helps us understand and fulfill their pet's unique requirements, ensuring a tailored and loving care experience. We have fenced gardens, pet toys and a clean environment in the house to ensure safety.

About: I understand dogs all have different nature, I'm comfortable looking after high or low energy dogs. Usually I'll do 2-3 walks per day with regular toilet breaks. If you're dog is nervous towards other dogs I will ensure they are kept away on walks and can look after them 1-on-1. I will make sure your dog is comfortable and help you maintain their routine while you're away. I'll keep you informed with regular updates, photos, and videos so you can have peace of mind. Please reach out for a meet and greet. I can provide consistency and daily exercise. I am flexible and happy to tailor the day to your pet's routine, ensuring they receive the attention, care, and companionship they need. A clean and quiet environment will be maintained throughout. You can trust that I will care and respect your home, minimising any disruptions during the pet sitting period.

Hulk and I would love to host your dog, who would be sure to receive lots of cuddles, and treat like a member of the family😊 Also available for dog walks or house visits as we have a vehicle. Thanks for reading😊 I work remotely so can be fully flexible with work commitments, our cavapoo goes on 3 walks per day and extra trips outside for the toilet.

About: Although I don’t have dogs of my own, I’ve spent years living in homes with them and have helped friends with their Rover pet sits, which has given me plenty of hands-on experience. I’m comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping pets on their normal schedule. I’m patient and gentle with shy or anxious dogs, and I love giving extra attention to energetic, social pups. I follow instructions closely, keep things clean and safe, and make sure pets feel calm, loved, and cared for while you’re away As a uni student, my schedule is really flexible—I’m only out of the house for a few hours at a time, so it’s easy for me to fit in walks, check-ins, feeding times, and lots of attention. I love having pets around while I study, and I’m usually home enough to give them plenty of company, playtime, and care throughout the day. my home, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and included in my daily routine. I give them a calm, cozy space to relax, keep their feeding and walk schedules consistent, and make time for play, cuddles, and attention throughout the day. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely—whether that’s sticking to certain routines, giving quiet time, or keeping up with their favourite activities. I make sure they’re never left alone for long and that they feel loved, supervised, and completely at home.
