About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life, from raising my own to helping family and friends. I am patient, reliable, and attentive. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality through walks, play, and companionship. I currently work full time, but I have flexibility for daytime walks or quick check-ins. I’m also available most evenings and weekends for longer walks, pet care, or house sitting. I always follow your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and happy. I’ll make sure they get plenty of walks, attention and care, while also respecting your home and keeping everything clean and tidy.

About: Hey! I am a 21 year old student veterinary nurse, completing my apprenticeship at a local practice. I have been dog walking and sitting for people locally for around 5 years, caring for them before or after work. I studied A levels in Animal Management and have worked since then at a doggy day care centre caring for over 20 dogs at once, whilst also at a farm. I also have two cheeky terriers. Therefore, I am used to a lot of mischief! I also own a lovely cat and have done numerous cat sittings too, staying at the clients house :) it’s fair to say, my life revolves around these four legged creatures- including rabbits and guinea pigs too! I am working full time at the moment, however I work both early and late shifts. Therefore I am happy to visit/ walk your pet before work, or if I’m on a late shift; in the evening afterwards. I am also available some weekends to stay over if needed!:) I currently am not looking after animals in my house due to my naughty terriers being enough to handle by themselves! They aren’t the biggest fan of new friends! However, I am more than happy to visit or stay at your house when needed!

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was young and have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I’m reliable, patient, and truly love spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to feed, walk, and care for their pets as if they were my own. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved.” I work in my own house, so I'm always at home and when I have to go out, my boyfriend is at home and helps me take care of them. I live in a house with a fenced garden, providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets. I can host small, calm animals in my home. For medium and large dogs, I'm happy to provide care in the owner's home. I always make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for, following their routine and needs.

About: Ive always had a dog and I am also loved by cats, I love giving them attention and like it too. You're leaving your baby in safe hands coz when Im with pets they become my world. I feel I understand animals well, even though they can’t communicate in the same way we do—perhaps it’s my biologist’s instinct. I truly enjoy spending time with them and would be delighted to care for your beloved pets. As a PhD student, I have a self-managed schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to pet care. I also see this as more than just a side role—it’s something that brings me joy and a sense of calm, almost like therapy, while ensuring your pets feel safe, loved, and well looked after. As I have lived in the past in an area where wildlife is common, I always took extra precautions to keep pets safe, including ensuring they remain indoors after 6 PM, even for short strolls. I also carefully check the environment to remove any sharp or hazardous objects. Most importantly, I pay close attention to their behavior and cues, making sure they feel heard, understood, and comfortable at all times.

About: I have always been around dogs almost all of my life. From the age of 6, I helped to look after and care for our family dog right up until the day he passed. Since then, it has felt like a hole within our hearts. I miss being out in the Fresh air on walks, having a buddy to snuggle up to on the couch and watching a little fur ball doing zoomies. I have previously looked after friends dogs, the longest being for 3 weeks. I also dog sit and look after 3 dogs for friends who are out at work or for long weekends. My boyfriend and I are active individuals who love going on walks around our estate, engaging in group activities with friends and their dogs ( little pup dates ) and being able to love a dog. Pet care fits really naturally into our routine because I only work 3 days a week, which gives me plenty of time to give dogs lots of love, attention, and care throughout the day. We both love going on walks and little adventures, so your dog would get plenty of exercise, playtime, and cuddles too. We’re very affectionate with dogs and love making them feel comfortable, happy, and part of the family. We’re also quite flexible with boarding, so we can work around different needs and routines where possible. I will care for pets as if they’re part of the family and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after. Myself and my boyfriend live in a maisonette, and although there isn't a garden, I am very active and make sure dogs are taken out regularly for toilet breaks, walks, exercise, and fresh air throughout the day. I am happy to crate a dog if that’s part of their normal routine, but if not, there’s a spacious comfy couch for them to relax on and feel at home. Whether in our home or the owner’s home, I would always make sure the dog is supervised, cared for properly, and given plenty of attention, affection, and playtime.

“It was my first time using Rover, so I was honestly worried about everything at first. However, we’ve been so fortunate to find Larissa. She’s absolutely fab, and our pup Hooper has been so well looked after. 😊”

About: I’m experienced in caring for various small breeds like French Bulldogs and Teddy Bears. I've also looked after Labradors for friend. I am extremely patient and enjoy training puppies, more importantly, making friends with them. I currently work part-time and mostly from home, allowing me plenty of time to play with pets. I'm flexible and available for pet care and boarding at any time. I can provide real-time updates, including photos and videos, to keep you reassured. Every moment your pet spends with me is safe and comfortable. I have a double apartment where pets have free access to all rooms, including the living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. Perfect for small pets!

About: I’ve spent my entire life around animals of all kinds, and I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember. I’ve looked after neighbours cats, I’ve looked after puppies and I’m always wanting to make friends with any animals I see. When I am at university, I miss my dog massively and take any chance I can to meet and play with pets. A lot of the work I do from Saturday to Tuesday is online so I am able to work on a flexible timetable. I have occasional sports matches/training and I meet up with friends routinely, but I am not often unavailable for more than a few hours. How I care for a pet depends on how the owner feels is best for their pet, but I like to spend time with the pet early on to make myself known to them and establish a bond which then helps either at the house or out on walks.

About: I am a proud cat mum! I live with my one year old British Shorthair, Chestnut, and I am currently also looking after a fluffy long haired cat for a friend. Feeding, grooming, litter, playtime, cuddles, I have got it all covered. I am great at reading what each cat needs, whether they want to play or just want to be left alone with a full bowl. My hours are flexible, so I can work around your schedule easily. Your cat will be in happy, loving hands! I work flexible hours from home, so caring for pets fits naturally into my day. I can visit regularly for feeding, playtime, and cuddles, and easily adjust timings to suit your cat's usual routine! I keep a calm, clean, and cat friendly space, with fresh food and water, a tidy litter area, and safe spots to rest and play. In your home, I follow your instructions closely and treat your space and your cat with care and respect.

About: I’m a 19 year old girl looking to make some extra money during her gap year :) I’ve grown up with cats and currently have 6, we’ve had up to 8 at one time! I love cats and understand the importance of keeping them comfortable and catering to their needs. I also have a dog and tortoises as well as having had rabbits and hamsters in the past so i am an avid animal lover!

About: I am a responsible, patient, and caring person who truly loves animals. I have experience taking care of dogs and cats with different personalities and needs, including energetic pets, shy animals, and senior pets who need extra attention and comfort. What makes me different is the love and attention I give to every pet. I understand that pets are family members, so I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I can help with daily walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, basic care, and maintaining the pet’s routine. I am also attentive to details, organized, and reliable, which helps pets feel calm and secure in my care. Pet care fits very well into my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate consistent time to walks, visits, and overnight stays when needed. On a daily basis, I am available in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on prior arrangements. I make sure to plan my day so I can fully focus on each pet without rushing, giving them the attention and care they need. I always prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep the environment clean and secure, and make sure pets feel calm and comfortable at all times. I supervise them carefully, provide fresh water, food, walks, and attention, and treat every pet as if they were my own.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. My love for them, combined with my passion for walking, led me to start my Dog Walking Business with my daughter, Holly. Before this, I spent 17 years as a nurse, caring for people with dedication and compassion. Now, I bring that same level of care and responsibility to the pets I look after. We offer more than just dog walking—we provide pet sitting and drop-in visits to ensure animals feel safe and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s a lively Labrador needing an energetic walk or a shy cat needing gentle reassurance at home, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My nursing background has given me a strong sense of responsibility and attention to detail, which I now apply to caring for animals, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well looked after. I am available Monday to Saturday 8am to 6pm but, I can be flexible if required. We can work out a schedule that suits you and your pet, as I know how important it is to continue with yours pet’s usual routine. I will be with your pet an all times either in your home, garden or when they are out and about having a walk, ensuring they are safe and happy at all times, as your dogs welfare is my priority.

About: I’ve always loved dogs and have had my own for four years now (but they would stay at home during any sits!) I’ve had one since a puppy and a rescue for 18 months who is reactive to other dogs and has taught me an awful lot. I groom them myself and am clued up on medical care, also feed them raw so am comfortable with special diets. I can fit pet care around my own dogs, and I work from home mostly so can work from anywhere. I love running and would happily take your dogs out with me! I would only be available to look after dogs in the pet owners home, and am happy to keep to their regular routine. I am fully DBS checked.

About: I’ve had the pleasure of growing up with dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities, giving me a wealth of experience and confidence in caring for them. Over the years, I’ve dedicated many hours to dog sitting and walking for friends and family, as well as taking on paid opportunities Currently I have almost full flexibility for walks, drop ins and house sits around Cambridgeshire before I relocate. Overnight house sits welcome with decent notice Unfortunately I cannot host pets at my own home. My main priority is to keep your pet safe and comfortable on walks and inside their home
