“Thanks to Ferdinand and family - Remy had a great time staying for the weekend. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos, and are so happy that Remy was welcomed like a member of the family. Remy loved the attention, walks, and lots of ball games! He is looking forward to seeing you again soon.”
“Maria and her husband did an amazing job looking after Molly. Molly was made to feel at home and got multiple walks. Updates very plentiful throughout the day and I would highly recommend Maria for pet sitting!”
“Our 9month old Cockerpoo had the best time at Anke’s. He made some great friends with other lovely dogs. Anke kept us informed the whole way through with lots of videos, even gave him a bath and we knew he was taken great care of. We would definitely use her again.”
“Chanise had my puppy Oreo for 3 days and Oreo absolutely loved every minute of being with her. Chanise went above and beyond to make sure Oreo was happy and comfortable being in a different environment, I really didn’t think he would want to leave! Chanise is such a lovely, caring woman. I would definitely ask her to look after Oreo again as she was so good with him. Highly recommend 🥰🤍”
“Kevin took care of Thomas for a week whilst we took a family vacation. He kept us updated regularly with photos, videos and updates on how Thomas was doing. This is the longest we have left him at any time. But knowing Kevin and his family were looking after him we were able to relax and enjoy our time away. Thomas has spent plenty of time with Kevin previously and is always very excited to see them. They have become his home away from home. We always know he will be loved and looked after. Thank you Kevin to you and your family for taking such good care of our boy.”
“Kimberly was super responsive from the start and very accommodating with dates and times. Oschi had a great time. Kim sent lots of photos and videos showing Oschi happy and getting along with the other dogs. Thank you so much to Kim and her partner!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We couldn’t be happier with the care Ronnie gave our dog Arlo on Christmas Day. We had guests with a dog allergy, and Ronnie completely put our minds at ease. From the moment Arlo arrived, he was treated like a true member of the family—loved, cared for, and clearly having the best time. Ronnie made us feel incredibly comfortable throughout the day, and the photos he sent of Arlo enjoying Christmas were absolutely wonderful. You could see just how happy and relaxed Arlo was, which meant everything to us. We are so grateful to Ronnie and his family for their kindness and exceptional care. I would 100% recommend Ronnie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and genuinely fantastic dog sitter.”
“Jenni looked after my Woody for a week whilst we were away! She’s absolutely lovely, very caring and attentive and kept me updated on Woody’s antics whilst he was staying with her which was hugely appreciated especially as was my first time away leaving Woody. Would fully recommend and will definitely be using Jenni again as and when needed 🩷 x”
“Liu was fantastic with Juno! She sent plenty of photos and videos throughout the stay, which really put my mind at ease. Juno looked happy and well cared for the entire time. Highly recommend.”
“Gaby was perfect for our little pup Cherry. Our pre-met reassured me she would be in good hands. We had regular pup dates :) she had plenty of walks and play to keep her busy (and worn out)!. We will be using Gaby again when needed and would highly recommend. Thank you.”
“Buckley had the most wonderful stay with Siu Yung and was treated like one of the family, with so much kindness and care. Even though the booking was very last minute, Siu Yung was incredibly accommodating, kept us updated throughout, and kindly waited up late for our return. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her—Buckley is already looking forward to his next visit.”
“I can't recommend Jeanett highly enough! She was absolutely amazing with my dog, Lucy. From the moment we met, I could tell she had a genuine love for animals and a professional approach to pet care. Every day, she provided me with detailed updates on how Lucy was doing, including pictures and videos, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. Lucy was happy, well-exercised, and clearly very well taken care of. If you're looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter, Jeanett is the best choice.”
“Joanne and her family were very welcoming of Cooper. He got along very well with their puppy and had a lovely 2 week stay. Frequent photo and text updates were sent to us throughout our holiday so we knew how he was getting on. Thanks!”
“I booked a last minute boarding request with Indy for three days for my large dog. 5 stars doesn’t even cut it! My dog is a rescue and can be nervous at times, but she loved every second. Even though the request was last minute, Indy still accommodated a meet before booking anything, which went well. Layla was so very well looked after and cared for by the family, I had constant updates via text with pictures and videos, she was having the best time. I couldn’t recommend Indy enough, I’ll absolutely be rebooking when the time comes that Layla needs boarding/ dog sitting again”

“Toby was once again looked after amazingly by Ale. Always in contact when needed and sent daily photos and videos while we were away. Ale is the only cat sitter I would use. She is clearly a cat lover, which makes you feel very reassured. ”
“Susan waa fantastic. She has such a deep love for animals and the animals she looks after. She made it a point to build trust with Sister. She took great care of Sister and is someone i will definitely use again in the future. Thank you for looking after our little cat”
“Teodora was wonderful taking care of my cat! Her communication was great and she went above and beyond ensuring my cat was happy and stayed cool during the heat wave. I would rebook with her again!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my cats received. It was their first time with this sitter, and they absolutely loved her — and so did I. She was gentle, patient, and instantly made them feel safe and relaxed. I came home to calm, happy cats, and that tells me everything. I highly recommend Samantha and will definitely book again.”
“Steve was very reliable, punctual and did a great job. There was a situation where we were watching our cat on camera without any food left and looking for food. I messaged Steve and to my surprise he was over not long after that which was very early in the morning. This meant the world to us and shows how kind hearted he is❤️”
“Beatrice did a grand job. The cats are nervous of strangers but by the second day she was able to get a photo of all of them. So I am confident in the future as they get to know each other, it will be a great success.”
About: I have been a passionate animal lover my whole life and have extensive experience caring for both cats and dogs of various breeds and temperaments. Over the years, I have provided drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and daily companionship for pets belonging to my family, friends, and neighbours. What sets me apart is my practical experience with special and medical care. I am very patient and comfortable looking after senior pets, managing sensitive health issues (such as urinary or kidney conditions), and ensuring that medication schedules and dietary requirements are strictly followed. As a parent, I am naturally responsible, reliable, and attentive to detail. I will treat your furry family members with the exact same love, gentleness, and respect as my own.
“Jenni was AMAZING with our cats and our home and we could not be more pleased. Trusting someone new with your cats is always nerve wrecking but Jenni gave us regular updates, kept the house tidy, and was a real pleasure getting to know. And she did it all during a heatwave! She went above and beyond and we would not hesitate to recommend her to others. The cats will surely be happy whenever they get the chance to see her again.”
About: I enjoy spending time with cats and am comfortable helping with feeding, playtime, cleaning litter trays, and giving attention and care. I am responsible, patient, and willing to follow instructions carefully to make sure pets feel safe and comfortable.
About: I work as a recruitment advisor from home for a well known charity so I'm free anytime. I have a Cat called Boo Boo who adopted me. He likes pastry and cake like his daddy! Also three other local cats like to visit! I love cats playfull and inquisitive nature and the funny things they get up to. My Visit will include making sure your cat is fed and watered. I will offer it play and petting. I'm happy to do overnight stays too. I have a clean DBS check I'll cat sit for free if you live locally and just need someone to pop in to feed and do litter
About: I have loved animals and especially cats since i was around 5-6 years old. I would spend my pocket money on cat food for the strays i had taken in. I have been a cat parent for the last 30 years. After taking my current fur baby in from the streets i have developed an even deeper understanding of cats through trials and errors. I have now learnt to be even more patient and understand how difficult it is to find a really good cat sitter you can use regularly. Due to a cats nature and especially a nervous one like mine a routine and things being done the same way their owner/fur parent would do them is of huge importance for their health and wellbeing. This is why i have decided to sign myself up in the hope i can be of service to like minded fur parents and save their fur babies from any undue stress.
About: I am an experienced cat sitter and had cared for my family cat since she waw 8 weeks old. Before moving out of my parent's house post marriage, I was the primary carer and was responsible for all aspects of her care. This included feeding, litter tray cleaning, grooming, and general wellbeing. Now I have more flexibility for cat sitting after moving out and often pop by to see her and cat sit when necessary I also regularly cat sit for friends and relatives while they are away, popping in to feed their cats, clean litter trays, and spend time playing with them. I'm comfortable dealing with any mess and genuinely enjoy keeping cats happy, entertained, and well cared for. I am friendly, reliable, and easy-going, and I treat every cat with the same care and attention as I would my own.
About: absolutely LOVE cats! I've grown up with cats and currently have my own indoor British Shorthair, Rupert. If circumstances allowed I'd happily have more, but for now Rupert very much rules the roost! I genuinely enjoy spending time with cats and understand that every cat has their own personality. Some want cuddles and attention immediately, some would rather play, and others need time and space before deciding whether you're worthy of their company! I'm very happy to let your cat set the pace and never force interaction. As Rupert is strictly an indoor cat, I also completely understand the importance of door and window security. I know that moment of panic at the thought of an indoor cat slipping past you at the door, so I'm always very conscious of where a cat is before entering or leaving and will follow any specific precautions you have at home. I've also spent many years professionally within the pet industry and currently run two pet businesses, Shanzi Naturals and Jingo Pets, specialising in natural pet food, products and wellbeing. My visits aren't simply about putting food in a bowl and leaving. I'll take care of feeding, fresh water and litter trays, make sure everything looks as it should, and spend some time with your cat. That might mean playing, cuddles and fuss, or simply keeping them company depending on what they enjoy. I'm comfortable following individual feeding routines, including raw, wet and dry diets, and I'll follow your instructions so their normal routine is disrupted as little as possible. After every visit I'll send you a photo and a little summary of how your cat was, whether they've eaten and anything else worth mentioning, so you know they've been properly checked on. I'm offering cat visits alongside my main business and deliberately keeping my availability limited, allowing me to provide a personal and reliable service rather than rushing through lots of visits. Most importantly, I genuinely adore cats. I'll treat yours with the same care and attention I'd want someone to give Rupert.
About: I absolutely love all animals and am a proud mother of 4 gorgeous cats, oldest one is Leo 16 years old (domestic) Matisse (british shorthair ) Monkey (british shorthair) and Arya (british shorthair ) They keep me laughing with their own unique personality and could not imagine them not being in my life, I love playing with them seeing them chasing around. I have looked after a friends shih tzu on many occasions, feeding and walking. Highlighting most importantly lots of love and cuddles. Which would be the case for all my 4 legged friends I will look after in the near future. Feel safe in knowing I will take the upmost care and give my undivided attention to all their needs however big or small. I am currently working part time so do have most of my day free, I am available from 9am until 8pm. And not south of London, apologies for this as I do not drive. I care for my beautiful fluff balls very much as I treat them with respect and give them endless love and cuddles, even when they are naughty.
About: I don’t have direct experience with cats yet, but I’m calm, patient, and a quick learner — and I know cats appreciate exactly that. I’m happy to follow your routine to the letter: feeding schedules, litter, any quirks or preferences. For a first booking I’d always welcome a meet-and-greet so your cat can suss me out on their own terms.
“We had a great experience with Zahra. She took excellent care of Momo, followed all her routines, and sent regular updates with pictures that gave us real peace of mind. Momo quickly got used to her, which says a lot as she's usually a little shy at first. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.”

“Joanne was able to care for our Loki at short notice, Loki was very comfortable once he settled down from the excitement of have Joanne’s dog as a friend to play with, he was very relaxed and happy when we collected him later that day. Very happy with how Joanne looked after Loki. Will definitely be looking to book up with Joanne again. Thanks a million Joanne.”
“Anke and Dennis did a great job with my Samoyed, Mr. Darcy. I was quite worried because he’s young and boisterous and had never been to daycare before. But Anke and Dennis took great care, gave me regular updates and helped me out by doing drop off and pick up as well. I will definitely book them again if the need arises. Good job Anke and Dennis! Thank you so much”
“I genuinely can’t thank Chanise and Jake enough for how amazing they were with Bella. ❤️ My booking was incredibly last minute, but they were so kind and accommodating and made arrangements to be available for her. Bella has never been away from me unless she’s been with family, so I was honestly so, so nervous leaving her. I think anyone who has a dog will understand just how difficult it can be to leave your fur baby with someone new, especially for the first time. 🥹 From the moment I spoke with Chanise for the first time to picking up Bella, the communication was absolutely amazing. The regular updates, pictures and messages throughout the day meant more to me than they probably realise. Seeing Bella looking happy, comfortable and settled instantly put my mind at ease. Being sent pictures of her was definitely the highlight of my day because, if I’m honest, I’d been worrying about her constantly! ❤️ Bella made herself right at home almost immediately, and I truly believe that’s because of how gentle, loving and welcoming Chanise and Jake were with her. They made her feel so comfortable and treated her as though she was one of their own. They were also so flexible and happy to make their home feel like Bella’s home too, keeping things as familiar as possible for her — even letting her enjoy her favourite spot on the sofa! 🐶🥰 This was our first time with them, but I can say with complete confidence that it definitely won’t be our last. I left Bella with them feeling nervous, but I picked her up feeling so grateful and reassured knowing she had been so well cared for. Bella is home now, curled up fast asleep in my lap, and I think that says absolutely everything about the day she’s had. 🥹❤️ A tired and happy dog is the best review of all! Thank you both so much for taking such wonderful care of my girl and for giving me the reassurance I needed. It’s such a relief to find people you can genuinely trust with someone who means so much to you. 100% recommend Chanise and Jake to anyone looking for loving, reliable and genuinely caring doggy care. Bella has definitely found her second home! ❤️🐾”
“Leonor is fantastic! Benji absolutely adores her and always enjoys spending time with her. She keep us consistently updated through photos and texts. We’ve booked with Leonor multiple times and will happily continue booking with her.”
“I left Rusty with Gabi for the second time and he had a lovely day. He was looked after really well on an extremely hot day and came home tired and happy. It's such a relief to have someone you can trust to take care of your fur baby!”
“Luna spent the day with Diana and she had a fantastic stay. I picked Luna up happy she was well exercised and I was kept up to date with lots of pictures throughout the day and she made another furry friend. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for dog sitting.”
“Can’t recommend Kimberly enough! She’s kind, reliable, and clearly loves what she does. Our pup had a blast with her again, and we got loads of adorable updates. Will definitely be rebooking!”
“Lucy was great with our 6 month old Vizsla puppy Scout. She kept us updated and returned to us with a very happy chilled out pup, we definitely recommend Lucy and we’ll for sure use her for day care again :)”
“Thiv was amazing. Friendly, flexible and very lovely! ☺️ Great communication and Ellie clearly had the best time with her. Will definitely book again in the future - thanks so much for taking such great care of Ellie!”
About: I'm an active, outdoorsy person who genuinely loves being around dogs. I take your dog's exercise seriously: proper walks, real time outside, and plenty of stimulation. My hands-on experience comes from regularly walking and caring for two very different dogs — a Staffordshire Bulldog and a French Bulldog. I’m currently working from home with good flexibility. I can work around the schedule for helping out. Weekends should be free in the day too. My flat is a cosy, well-kept one-bedroom on an upper floor — no balcony or outdoor space, but we’re just a 5-minute walk from a park, so dogs get outside plenty. There are a few flights of stairs to get up to the flat, which is worth knowing for smaller or older dogs.
About: I have lived in the countryside until 20 years old and always had animals around me. When I moved to London I really missed having them around and 5 years ago I finally got a dog together with my wife , our labrador Ollie . He is very smart and loves us and our daughter Maya who is 2 years old . I will take good care of your pet I take my dog out in the morning and evening , and can do the same for your dog . If you have different schedule for your pet , I can adapt and organise more walks . I play ball with them and love running around in the park . I have a fenced garden and a friendly labrador , they will play and spend time together. My dog loves toys and the ball and we play a lot when we go out for walks
“My pup is a mummy's boy and can make a fuss when I leave, but Madalina is a so patient and is able to distracts him that he soon stops fussing. Sonney wagging tail is a true indicator that he is content in Madalina company and enjoys his time with her :-)”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs regularly for the past 3 years, mostly looking after two senior dogs for one friend and a young puppy for another. This has given me experience with different temperaments, energy levels, and routines, from gentle senior care to playful puppy stages. From age 15 I cared for dogs within my family, supporting with walks, feeding, and keeping them settled while owners were away. In addition, I‘ve cared for my family kitten, and as an indoor cat, he required consistent feeding, litter care, playtime, and a calm presence, something I’m very comfortable providing. Working from home, enables me to give consistent attention throughout the day and always provide updates and photos for peace of mind. Every dog or cat in my care is treated with patience, attentiveness, and love. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent care, supervision, companionship and regular walks or drop-ins throughout the day. I’m flexible during weekdays and available most weekends, making it easy to fit pet care naturally into my routine. When caring for dogs or cats in their own home, I prioritise maintaining their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific instructions provided. I ensure doors and gates are always secured, keep environments tidy and safe. If crate training is part of their routine, I’m comfortable supporting that in a gentle and positive way. My focus is always on providing a safe, consistent, and loving environment while you’re away.

About: Hey, I’m Maria 👋🏼 I’ve grown up with dogs since I was 5 years old and they’ve always been a huge part of my life. Over the years, I have volunteered with Guide Dogs and have also taken responsibility for caring for my own dogs, as well as family and friends’ pets—always giving them the love and attention they deserve as part of the family 🐶 Friends, family, and neighbours have relied on me to care for their pets, whether that means daily walks, playtime, or making sure they feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I treat each one with patience, care, and of course, plenty of cuddles & affection 🐾 My husband & I recently bought a new house so I don’t live with my family dog anymore but we would love our own dog in the future! 🫶🏼 Please note, as I am new to Rover, my prices are introductory prices for now & may be subject to change! I work full time as a teacher, so I’m available for dog walks from 4:15–8:30pm during the week, except Wednesday. I am available for dog walks all day Saturday & Sunday. I’m available for boarding everyday besides Wednesdays, however I am at work from Monday-Friday 8am-4:15pm, therefore your dog would be at home with my husband during these times, as he works from home.

About: Growing up I have cared for my own pets, neighbours pets, dont shy away from the muck work, grooming and other pet requirements.

I work full time and have alternative Mondays, Wednesdays and weekends off. Therefore I am flexible in how I can help you out. Cat/dog overnight homeowner stays, happy to house your cat for an overnight stay (wouldn't be fair to a dog to come and stay in my flat as I wouldn't be able to care for it throughout the day unless it's a one night or over night weekend stay when I am off. As I'd be able to take out on walks- have two beautiful greenspaces to chose from for long or short walks. I live in a flat with a balcony, I would be happy to house cats, smaller pets in their cage/tank throughout the week, but would have smaller availability for small dogs/medium dogs, due to full time work and I wouldn't be comfortable leaving them in a confined space without the care and attention they would require.

My hands-on experience comes from regularly walking and caring for two very different dogs — a Staffordshire Bulldog and a French Bulldog. I’m currently working from home with good flexibility. I can work around the schedule for helping out. Weekends should be free in the day too. My flat is a cosy, well-kept one-bedroom on an upper floor — no balcony or outdoor space, but we’re just a 5-minute walk from a park, so dogs get outside plenty. There are a few flights of stairs to get up to the flat, which is worth knowing for smaller or older dogs.
About: I’ve been professionally dog walking since 2018 and have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes and personalities, including larger and stronger breeds. In 2020, I moved across the country and put dog walking aside while I built my own business Jingo Pets. Now that it’s established, I finally have the time to get back to dog walking, something I’ve really missed. I specialise in solo, on lead walks because I believe this is the safest and most personal way to care for your dog. One to one walks mean your dog gets my undivided attention, and I can tailor the walk entirely around them, whether they love exploring and sniffing, need a good energetic walk, or prefer a gentler pace. I treat every dog in my care as I would my own, with a huge amount of care, attention and protection. Safety is always my priority, while still making sure their walk is something they genuinely enjoy. You’ll also receive a photo and update afterwards, so you know how they got on. While your dog is with me, I look after them like they’re one of my own. I run my own local pet food business, which gives me the flexibility to fit dog walking naturally into my day. I deliberately keep my walking availability limited so I’m not rushing between lots of dogs. This allows me to offer a reliable, personal service and give every dog my full attention during their time with me. Your dog’s safety is my number one priority. I only offer solo walks, or walks for dogs from the same household, so they have my full attention throughout. Dogs remain safely on-lead and I’ll always follow your instructions around things like reactivity, triggers and routines. I’m also very security-conscious when entering and leaving your home. While your dog is in my care, I treat their safety exactly as I would my own dogs’.
About: I'm 18 years old and currently a student. I recently started university but during my studies I would like to find some jobs cat sitting. I have a cat called Maya that I love very much and have had for 4 years and a new kitten named Oreo. I adore animals, cats especially and I can assure to provide great care of your pets.
About: I have always loved animals and enjoy spending time with them. Although I am new to pet sitting, I am responsible, patient, and eager to provide excellent care. I will carefully follow your pet's routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any instructions you provide. I understand how important it is to keep owners updated, so I will send regular photos and messages to give you peace of mind. I will treat your pet with kindness, care, and respect. I am available most afternoons, evenings, weekends, and early mornings (6:00–8:00 AM) if needed. I will always make time to give your pet the attention, care, and exercise they need. I am reliable and will keep you updated with photos and messages, so you always know how your pet is doing. I provide pet care in the owner's home and during walks. I will always follow your pet's routine and your instructions carefully to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I will treat your pet with kindness and respect and keep you updated throughout my visit.
“Patricia was absolutely wonderful — kind, friendly, punctual, and very efficient throughout. Klopp was clearly comfortable and happy in her care, and is now enjoying a nice sleep lol. I’d definitely recommend her and would happily book again!”
About: I absolutely love all animals and am a proud mother of 4 gorgeous cats, oldest one is Leo 16 years old (domestic) Matisse (british shorthair ) Monkey (british shorthair) and Arya (british shorthair ) They keep me laughing with their own unique personality and could not imagine them not being in my life, I love playing with them seeing them chasing around. I have looked after a friends shih tzu on many occasions, feeding and walking. Highlighting most importantly lots of love and cuddles. Which would be the case for all my 4 legged friends I will look after in the near future. Feel safe in knowing I will take the upmost care and give my undivided attention to all their needs however big or small. I am currently working part time so do have most of my day free, I am available from 9am until 8pm. And not south of London, apologies for this as I do not drive. I care for my beautiful fluff balls very much as I treat them with respect and give them endless love and cuddles, even when they are naughty.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs regularly for the past 3 years, mostly looking after two senior dogs for one friend and a young puppy for another. This has given me experience with different temperaments, energy levels, and routines, from gentle senior care to playful puppy stages. From age 15 I cared for dogs within my family, supporting with walks, feeding, and keeping them settled while owners were away. In addition, I‘ve cared for my family kitten, and as an indoor cat, he required consistent feeding, litter care, playtime, and a calm presence, something I’m very comfortable providing. Working from home, enables me to give consistent attention throughout the day and always provide updates and photos for peace of mind. Every dog or cat in my care is treated with patience, attentiveness, and love. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent care, supervision, companionship and regular walks or drop-ins throughout the day. I’m flexible during weekdays and available most weekends, making it easy to fit pet care naturally into my routine. When caring for dogs or cats in their own home, I prioritise maintaining their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific instructions provided. I ensure doors and gates are always secured, keep environments tidy and safe. If crate training is part of their routine, I’m comfortable supporting that in a gentle and positive way. My focus is always on providing a safe, consistent, and loving environment while you’re away.
About: I’m a 31-year-old private piano teacher with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care and walks during the mornings and early afternoons. I usually start work around 2pm, so I’m available for daytime walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pets (except Wednesdays). Sundays are currently completely free until August, making me available for longer visits and pet sitting throughout the day. I'm also available for house-sitting. I’ve loved dogs my whole life and had my own mixed-breed Chihuahua, Lady, for 17 years, so I understand how important patience, affection, and routine are. I’ve also spent time caring for my grandparents’ German Shepherd, Nero, during summer holidays growing up, which gave me experience with larger breeds as well as small dogs. Since I’m unable to have pets in my rented flat, spending time with dogs again would genuinely make me very happy. I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and receives lots of attention, playtime, and affection while they’re with me. I work as a private piano teacher for around 5 hours a day, usually in the afternoons, which leaves me with plenty of time for pet care, walks, companionship, and house sitting. My schedule is flexible, and outside of teaching hours I’m able to spend most of the day with your pet. I’m also happy to stay overnight in your home for house sitting, helping your pet feel comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment. Sundays are currently fully available until August, and I’m unavailable on Wednesdays. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine are very important to me. Since I’m offering house sitting and care in the owner’s home rather than boarding, I aim to keep everything as familiar and stress-free as possible for your pet. I’ll carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any specific preferences you have. I’m calm, patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means active walks and playtime or simply keeping them company and making them feel safe while you’re away.
About: For years I have helped many friends look after their dogs, ranging from small senior Cocker Spaniels to energetic Beagles. I have helped friends by staying over with their dogs or walking them daily, some friends have had dogs with very special needs due to their age which I have no problems dealing with and making sure they are as safe as they can be. I will ensure the dogs get the food they require to make sure their diet is properly followed. I'm currently working part-time at a public park with a farm onsite meaning that I have plenty of time to help look after your lovely dogs. I am available all times of the day and have no issues following a routine that some particular dogs may have so not to disturb them and stress them out. Whilst caring for your animals at your home I will follow any additional needs that you ask of me when it comes to your pet or your home.I will happily give out any medication that is needed/required to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy. I have an animal first aid qualification and many years experience of caring for animals that have been injured, when out with your pets I will make sure they are safe.

“I booked a last minute boarding request with Indy for three days for my large dog. 5 stars doesn’t even cut it! My dog is a rescue and can be nervous at times, but she loved every second. Even though the request was last minute, Indy still accommodated a meet before booking anything, which went well. Layla was so very well looked after and cared for by the family, I had constant updates via text with pictures and videos, she was having the best time. I couldn’t recommend Indy enough, I’ll absolutely be rebooking when the time comes that Layla needs boarding/ dog sitting again”
