Liz really helped me out. I was in a difficult position as my usual dog walker took a week off with hardly no notice so I was desperate to find a dog walker. With only one day notice Liz agreed to walk my Hugo for 2 days. She sent regular updates about the walks and seems like a lovely person who genuinely loves dogs. I will definitely contact Liz again for future walks 🙌

Megan took great care of Sasha on her walks while we were in holiday. She clearly is good with dogs and did not mind that our dog is high energy and quite strong. The updates every day are great

About: I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life growing up with, looking after and training two Labradors who have both been anxious with other dogs. I am a friendly individual who will make sure that dogs feel safe and comfortable while on walks and in my home. I am highly capable of looking after both young and old, small and big dogs and will cater to each and every need:) I have just finished my final year of university and am staying in Newcastle for two more months so have plenty of free days. I love going on walks and getting out of the house and would love to be a new (second) best friend for your pet! I live in a maisonette where we have looked after dogs on three separate occasions with sufficient space in the living room and easy access to a nearby park. I will ensure that there are no harmful and chewable objects around. There are no other dogs in this house so my full attention will be given to your pet:)

A friendly dog walker. With own transport. Security conscientious and showed respect whilst in my property. Followed instructions accordingly with regards to the every day needs of my dog. Sound communication skills and reliable on all calls. First Aid trained. Very reasonably priced. Provided photos and walking routes. I was very nervous and anxious about leaving my dog, with someone I did not know. However Collie quickly gained both mine and my dogs confidence. I Would highly recommend.

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: 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.

Absolutely fantastic! Liezel and Alex were so lovely with my dog. They came exactly when they said, and walked him for longer than they needed to, and were an absolute pleasure to meet😀. Thank you so much! Would definitely recommend Liezel and Alex for dog walking!

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 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.

About: I started looking after my pets (dogs, cats etc.) when I was 5. I always loved spending time with them. They charge me with positive. Have an experience in training dogs. Can't imagine my life without pets. My friends always trusted me their pets and were always calm about them. I'm responsible and can cook food for them. At this moment I have a lot of free time so it should be no problem to look after your pet for the whole day. I like bathing, playing and walking pets and feeding them. I also come up with interesting games for them very often so they won't be bored. Our family consists of three people, and there's always someone at home throughout the day. Your pet will never be left alone or feel neglected — we make sure they’re always in good company. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening, one of us will be around to give attention, care, and love. We know how important it is for pets to feel safe and not stressed when they're away from home. I take care of everything your pet needs: feeding on time, going for regular walks in the nearby park, and playing both indoors and outdoors. I give them space to explore and be active, while also making sure they stay safe and happy. Daily routines are very important to me, so your pet will have a consistent and comfortable schedule that suits their habits and energy levels.

About: Hi! I’m a dog lover and proud owner of a sweet cockapoo puppy girl. I have two wonderful kids, ages 5 and 11, and as a family, we adore spending time with dogs. We’re friendly, caring, and love making furry friends feel at home. Your dog will be treated like part of the family with us! (I can provide my DBS check) Currently I’m working part-time and mostly remotely, so I have free time to care about pets and at the same time enjoy their company. I can take dogs for walks or for a night with us. Also cats are welcome and able to explore my home and even climb on curtains (what some of them like so much). I have a private house with a big fenced garden. Pets are allowed on furniture. My family is very friendly and we have a nice park nearby to take dogs for walks. I always tidy up after and keep my home safe and clean.

About: I had my own professional dog walking business in the past 'Jolly Dog Walking' I absolutely loved it, it was the best job in the world! Unfortunately my health wasn't great so like all good things, that sadly came to an end. I just focused all my time and energy on my dog instead, making sure he had the best life! Sadly he passed last year and left a hole in my heart. I think looking after other dogs and caring for them will bring back that spark I need in life and if you would like me to look after your dogs I'd be honoured to be your choice! Your dog's wellbeing is my number one priority! I'm canine first aid trained and have good knowledge about canine body language and behaviour so I can keep your pup safe! I study at university online so my schedule is always free. All day every day, rain or shine (maybe not heavy snow though) I'll be available! Before I look after your pet I will ask all the relevant questions so I know how to best care for them. I will need to know all their dietary and exercise needs, about their general health and if they take medication, about food allergies and other allergies etc, about their general personality and if they have issues with other dogs or any reactivity and more. Once I know everything there is to know about your dog I will tailor their care according to their exact needs!

About: Hey! I’m Felicia and I’m an experienced pet sitter. I have experience in taking care of dogs, cats, rabbits and reptiles. I own 3 dogs back in Singapore and I’m their main trainer, and I own 2 cats here in the UK. I often petsit for my neighbours, friends and family. Feeding (including raw meat diet), bathing, and walking, you can count on me! I am work fully remote, only needing to be in the office about once every month. When working from home, I am very flexible and can go with your dog’s walking schedule. I have an empty guest room in my flat that many dogs and cats have stayed in when I am pet sitting. I own a dog crate for when dogs do stay over. I also have extra litter trays for cats who stay over. I am precise with my feeding and measure food each mealtime.
