About: I have just retired and want to spend time caring for your pets as part of my family, when you need that extra bit of help. I have a very open and flexible schedule. I have had pets from an early age, who I have cared for personally. I have been a pet sitter for many friends over the years. My home is spacious, clean and organised. I am a smoke-free household, and a child free environment. My previous work and volunteering means I have a PVG disclosure. I am up to date in my Pet First Aid. I've just retired and have lots of time to make your pet feel part of the family, and spoil them in the ways you'd like me to. I have a fenced in garden , and live close to woods. I will have agreed with you how you like your pet to be looked after and spoiled.

About: Since retiring a few years ago I have channeled my pet loving energies into caring for various breeds of cats and dogs of all ages.The safety and happiness of them being my priority,whilst ensuring he/she receives stimulation and exercise tailored to their individual needs and the owner’s instructions. Experience has shown me that the optimum place to care for your pet is in his/her own home in a familiar and secure environment.

“Where to start Niamh I have know for years now and I can assure anyone she loves and care for pets deeply ☺️. She looked after my fur boy with the best care and treatment. I am grateful, for the time she spent making sure he had company, he was comfortable and had lots of bosies. She also took the time to brush him, which is not for the faint hearted due to how fluffy he is. Would most definitely recommend her caring and compassionate services to anyone ☺️🧡”

About: Growing up I always knew I’d either end up working with animals or children. My full time job is a childcare practitioner but I can’t give up my love for animals which has led me to Rover. I’ve always been around animals growing up (my late grandfather had a farm) and we currently have a 7 year old border collie who I adore and have sole responsibility for on a regular basis. I also regularly look after my sisters Labrador who is a very energetic and needy boy. I also have good experience with several other dog breeds. I currently work Tuesday to Friday 8:30am till 6pm so am available evenings and weekends. I usually have Mondays free as well and I regularly update my calendar if I am busy on certain days. Skye gets walked three times a day, with toilet breaks in between if needed. Although i don't have a garden i make sure she gets all the exercise she needs, and that shes eating and drinking enough through the day.

“I was very pleased with Karen, I got updates when she did her drop ins and I got a map to show me where she went, I would certainly recommend her and I would definitely use her again”

About: I'm energetic being able to run or jog while walking dogs. I have good knowledge on my local area being able to give leisurely walks to older dogs as well. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, reliable care. Whether it’s early morning walks, afternoon playtime, or evening drop-ins, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I look forward to every day. When walking dogs, I always make sure to follow their specific instructions regarding leash preferences, walking routes, pace, and any behavioural needs. I start each visit by greeting the dog calmly, checking their gear for safety, and making sure they’re comfortable before we head out. During the walk, I pay close attention to their body language and keep them safe from potential hazards. Afterward, I ensure they have fresh water, and I update the owner with notes and photos.

About: I’ve owned my own dachshund for 3 years and if you know the breed you understand that I have plenty of experience with anxious trouble makers. I also have a working collie so can deal with high energy dogs as well. I am currently applying for a masters degree so my summers are free for some doggy adventures ! I am at home from Monday to Friday most days to dog sit with the occasional adventure day where I go on longer hikes and walks. If your pooch would enjoy this longer day out contact me to arrange for a mountain climb or longer adventure. All dogs in my care will remain on lead at all times (can be an extendable lead or a long line) to ensure everyone is safe at all times. When traveling in a car I do require pets to have a travel safe harness to be able to use my dog seatbelts. All dog walks will be recorded on Strava with my emergency contact having our location at all times to ensure safety when out.i can also provide owners with tracking information as well.

About: I've had a diverse range of experiences with dogs throughout my life, having cared for three dogs, including Yorkshire terriers and boxers. This variety has given me a deep understanding of different breeds and their unique needs. Beyond my own pets, I've also assisted numerous family and friends with dog walking and sitting, ensuring their furry companions receive the love and attention they deserve. My hands-on experience has not only strengthened my skills in handling various dog personalities but has also allowed me to build lasting relationships with both the pets and their owners. I am currently in my final few months of university studying to be a nurse, a lot of my time is spent at home with uni work and when I’m on placement I’m only working 3 days a week so have the rest of the week free for other activities. I live in a second floor flat which has a fenced garden area, the area is very safe and is most suitable for smaller dogs but medium size dogs are also fine, I usually would take dogs away from the house for walks in dog parks/ dog friendly areas

About: I am a registered fosterer with Cats Protection and the RSPCA where I’ve fostered cats and guinea pigs. I grew up with dogs (German Shepard, Labrador, Border Terrier), cats, guinea pigs, gerbils, degus, hamsters and fish! I’m very confident and caring with animals and love spending time with them. I am on a career break before going to Australia and I am free throughout most of July and August so can be very flexible. I am happy to come to your home to spend as much time with your pet as needed and I am happy to travel too.

About: I have always had dogs of my own since childhood and have spent time around working dogs due to my partners job. I have owned a rescue dog and owned dogs from puppy stage therefore I have experience with various dog personalities. I am currently self employed and make my own hours so I have time during the day to spend visiting and caring for pets in clients homes or walking in the local area. I am available for client home visits to come and keep your pet company in their own home or take them on local walks alone or with other dogs.
