“Flexible and reliable! Katherine has been a saviour adapting to our dog’s needs at short notice. Bonded immediately and provided advice on care and feeding. Thanks so much ⭐️”


About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life and regularly look after pets of friends and neighbours. I worked in a veterinary practice (as a manager nothing medical!!) but have experience with holding or assisting in administering medications. I am currently only working Mondays and Thursday mornings so have a lot of time spare to pop in on pets and take for walks. I am able to look after animals in your own home, I have too many cats in my home to look after them in mine.

“Amazing!! My lifesaver, helped me out last minute when a catsitter fell through and I was already on holiday over Christmas.. So was able to to visit twice daily even over Christmas day. Was so lovely and helpful and handled my stress and worry with ease. I would highly recommend! Sent pics and vids everyday and I'm soo thankful to Julia. Truly a lover of animals and my cat loved her :)”


“Antoniya looked after our cat for three days and we cannot recommend her highly enough. When she came to our flat to collect the keys, she was very friendly and professional. She updated us with lots of pictures of how our cat was doing whilst we were on holiday, her warmth and love for animals was very clear to see and she took really good care of our pet. We will definitely use her services again soon.”


About: I have loved animals my whole life having a passion for the care of them so they can live a happy and healthy life. I have previous experience walking and caring for my family’s and friends pets as well as having my own dog since he was as a puppy. If you have any other pets such as any cats, small mammals, birds or reptiles I can also help you care for these alongside your pooch. I can guarantee that your pet will be cared for with the highest of standards and it would bring a smile to my face to see them happy whilst in my care. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your loving pets and can offer regular visits if that is what is needed. When booking my services, let me know anything you believe I should know such as placing your dog in a crate before leaving or not letting them off the lead during walks. Safety is a high priority of mine so I can accommodate to both yours and your pets needs.

About: I grow up surrounded by animals, and I have my own 3 dogs that I consider my children. I raised, disciplined and trained them properly. I’m currently unemployed and applying for apprenticeship, so while I wait I have plenty of time and I will still be free on the weekends. I will take care of them just like how the owner does it and focus on things I should and shouldn’t in the owner’s property.

“I would highly recommend Laura. She looked after my cat while I was away. Her care and attention was excellent. She sent updates which gave me lots of reassurance and peace of mind. I would not hesitate in recommending her service to anyone and I will definitely be using her when I am next away.”


About: Hi, I’m Casey! I grew up with animals as a child until teens, and love all pets. I love getting outside on long dog walks and exploring the local area! I have 2 older cats of our own whom we adopted 3 years ago. They’re now firmly part of our family. They are very relaxed, outdoor cats and comfortable around well-trained dogs. They are no trouble at all and don’t ever seem phased by anything. We have a lovely garden for pets to be in and spaces for them to relax and have their own space too. I am a confident dog walker and understand what’s required. I’m always keen to meet pets first to help make them feel more comfortable around me! I work flexibly and myself and my husband take it in turns to go into the office. My smaller children are in childcare in the daytime. I have a fenced garden in an Edwardian home, with no side access. So your pet will be safe and happy in my home. You’re welcome to pop over to meet before agreeing any service so we can say hello!

“Rose was incredible! Very professional in her conduct, always checked in on my two cats on time, and made sure to send pictures. On top of that she was responsive to communications, which gave us such peace of mind. 100% would book with Rose again, so happy to have met her!!”

“Rebecca is the most caring and kind person I've met. She came around to mine a week before she was supposed to pet sit my cat, Mia. She was very reassuring and made me feel comfy with the arrangements set, as I'd never had a pet sitter come before. She valued my opinions and gave me a few suggestions too. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her in the future ! Rebecca send me pictures and a note every day at two different times, whilst I was away. She also let me know when Mia didn't want to come in and tried several things to coax her. The best thing was, she attended an extra visit at the last minute, when there was a change of plan in our holiday! She's absolutely amazing !”


About: Hi, I’m Natalie, a devoted animal lover with more than 10 years of experience walking and caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes. Having always been surrounded by pets—both my own and those of friends and family—I understand just how much trust, love, and attention dogs need, especially when their owners are busy. What sets me apart? I’m not just a passionate dog walker; I’m fully committed to making pet care my lifelong career. I'm DBS-checked, insured, and deeply invested in providing the safest and most joyful experience for your furry family member. As a trusted, local companion, I’ll treat your dog like family, ensuring they’re well-exercised, happy, and secure in my care. Let’s make your dog’s walks the highlight of their day! After years of working in an office, I decided to follow my passion: spending my days outdoors, walking, and caring for animals. Stepping away from the desk has given me the chance to bring energy, enthusiasm, and full-time commitment to dog walking. Every week, my schedule is fully devoted to keeping pups happy, active, and well-cared for—whether it's a local walk, a day of play, or simply being a reliable friend for your pet. With a lifelong love for animals and years of experience caring for family pets, I understand the importance of providing safe, attentive, and loving care. In 2008, after extensive research, my family and I welcomed our first golden retriever, Jupe, and in 2011, we rescued Dylan, another wonderful golden. They were best buddies who taught me so much about what it means to truly care for dogs, from their daily needs to understanding their unique personalities. Both were with us for nearly 13 years, and the time spent with them has been invaluable to my understanding of pet care. I’m lucky to have a spacious, fenced-in garden and easy access to beautiful parks and fields nearby, making every walk an adventure and a secure space for play. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide a caring, safe, and fun environment that pets thrive in!

“This was my first time using Rover and I was so nervous. Ella was amazing from start to finish and wasn't at all phased by our two big shepherd/huskies. She came around to meet them prior to her first and they loved her. She did a drop in session today arrived on time and looked after the boys so well and she sent photos. Communication with Ella was brilliant from start to finish. I will defintely be using her again and would highly recommend her particularly, for those owners who struggle to find someone so comfortable with big bouncy dogs. Thank you so much Ella”
