“Steven’s just started doing drop-in visits with my 2 lively springadors and I’m over the moon about it. Steven took time to make sure the dogs were comfortable with him before his first visit alone. He comes at midday while I’m at work and practises training commands and keeps them busy and happy for an hour to break up the day. He was very clear and thorough about all the arrangements, maintains great communication with me and most of all both dogs are at ease with him.”


“David and Sally were amazing. They made us feel at ease straight away by taking the time to meet us and chewy prior to our departure. They kept us regularly updated whilst we were away, and even look after our garden as well. Top rate service that we will definitely be using again in the future. Thank you 😊”


About: We (Hope, Left & Rachel, Right on the photo!) have been looking after all different shapes and sizes of dogs for the past 12 years and we absolutely love it! At our home, dogs are truly treated like royalty. During the week we both work from home, meaning that your dog will have constant company! The dogs are fed twice per day, both breakfast and dinner - we can also accommodate additional meals if needed. We walk the dogs in the morning and evening, so they are exercised for at least 90 minutes per day. On days where we have doggy daycare booked in, we take the dogs to a securely fenced dog agility field to ensure that they have full enrichment both mentally and physically. If your dog is boarding with us, we do this activity at least once per week - this is built into the cost already. During the weekend, we do one longer walk on both Saturday and Sunday mornings, combined with a variety of dog friendly activities in the afternoon such as dog friendly cafes and garden centres. We have a fenced garden which your dog would have constant access to through the dog flap. Our three little dogs love having company and will be there to help settle your dog in. Whilst they are all small breeds, they are used to a variety of dogs in the house such as Staffies, lurchers, cockerpoos, spaniels and other small breeds including chihuahuas. We also run a dog grooming business so we can cover any and all of your dog needs. If your dog is boarding with us and you would like to include a groom, please let us know and pricing is dependent on breed.

About: I have always been a trusted carer for animals in and around our family, I am a calm presence with confidence around animals of all shapes and sizes, I currently have a crazy spaniel of my own! I studied Animal Management in college whilst working in a kennel/cattery in my free time, which gave me good insight to each individual dogs quirky needs. Any animal in my care is treated as one of my own! I work from home so I am always in and around the house! So between me and my partner Taylor, your dog will always be in loving company! We have a fenced, secure garden whilst living on a private road in a quiet village! I will follow your pets exact needs, I am confident walking dogs on the lead or off (based on your dogs recall needs)

About: I may be new to Rover, but I’ve already got hands-on experience walking dogs back in Ukraine for friends, neighbours and family. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and always make sure they feel safe and happy. I’m calm, patient, and careful — especially with shy or energetic dogs. I’m also quick to notice their needs or changes in behaviour. I’m not just doing this for work — I do it because I love it. That’s what sets me apart. Pet care fits into my routine perfectly. I have a flexible schedule, so I can easily make time for regular dog walks or visits. I enjoy being outdoors, and spending time with animals is one of the best parts of my day. Whether it’s a quick walk or a longer session, I always make sure the pet feels comfortable, safe and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure the pet stays happy and relaxed in their familiar environment. I give them plenty of attention, keep to their usual routine, and always make sure they have fresh water, are fed on time, and get the right amount of exercise.

“INCREDIBLE! Katherine has been the best cat sitter we have ever had. She even stayed longer than she should have everyday to make sure the kittens got enough time around humans / connection and play time. She sent us photos and videos everyday with updates and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Katherine! Would highly recommend!”


“Excellent service from Cordelia, will definitely be using her regularly again. Such peace of mind knowing our puppy is in safe hands & the photo updates during her visits are a nice touch.”


“Clare has done an excellent job with taking care of our Riley! She even took it upon herself to give him a bath (checking with us first to make sure it was ok and what shampoo to use) after he found something (!) extra smelly to roll in! Thank you, Clare!!”


“Phoebe has been absolutely brilliant, every step of the way. She answered questions quickly and it was really straight forward to arrange the booking. Our cat was very well looked after and it was clear to see how happy he was in the photos and videos Phoebe sent. I was very confident leaving him in Phoebe's care and she will be my first choice of pet sitter in the future.”

About: I have grown up on the farm surrounded with cats, dogs, chicken, goose and other farm animals since I was little. Cats and other pets are best companions. I have got two cats Luna and Sansa. I work during day time so could drop in to feed cats before or after work. If preferred, can do both- in the morning and evening. I would prefer to look after the pets at owner's house as not sure how my cats react if it would be at my place. DBS (previously known as CRB) checked. I could make visits before or after my work or both if required. I am off work weekends. If not sure, welcome to ask any questions. As there are two cats in my own house and unsure of their reaction on new pets in the house, would prefer to look after in cats owners house.

About: Hi I’m Maddy, I’m located in Melton Mowbray but happy to travel to surrounding villages. I have many years of pet experience. I have 4 dogs and have looked after several of my friend’s dogs over the years. I look forward to hearing from you and your pet! I am a medical student currently on my Summer break so will have lots of free time to provide the best care for your pet. I have 4 dogs at home so have lots of experience in looking after different dogs. I am happy to maintain your pets routine to the best of my ability.

About: I have been a dog owner all my life living alongside a range of dog breeds including Basset Hounds, Spaniels, Labradors, Old English Sheepdogs and Dogue De Bordeaux. I couldn’t imagine not having a fury friend in the home. I just love dogs and how unconditional their love is. From birth I have only ever known a house full of 3+ dogs plus the odd cat. When my old spaniel crossed over the rainbow bridge at 14 the house felt so empty. This feeling didn’t last very long as we then fostered TWO Sprocker pups just 3 days before Christmas. Some may say we are mad?!? They are very lively and energetic with bundles of energy. We have since adopted them both- the house has not been quiet since! I have years of experience reading dogs and catering for their needs and wants. When i left school I studied animal care and then went onto university to study Animal Welfare & Behavior. If I am not out walking dogs I am usually either at home or being a taxi for my children. My partner leaves for work early in the morning then Monday to Friday I am responsible for getting my children to and from school. I am in and out of the house most days so my dogs are rarely left longer than 2 hours alone. At home I have two 1yr old Sprocker males (both neutered). They are very lively and energetic. When initially meeting another dog it is a crazy 10 minutes of getting to know each other but they are both friendly. In the home your dog will have access to the same areas that my boys do. This includes all of the downstairs . They are allowed upstairs but only when supervised. My dogs have crates which they sleep in at night only. I have a very generous fenced garden which they have access to.

About: I have looked after dogs for family members and I used to dog walk. I'd like to use this opportunity to build my experience and meet new pets! I can dog walk or check up on your pets in the evening after I finish placement. I generally work 9-5 Mon-Fri, however this could change every once in a while due to changing hospitals. I am happy to walk dogs and do drop in sessions to feed pets, top up their water or just to give them some attention and love
