About: I have grown up with dogs all my life, mostly large, and have cared for dogs of friends, family, colleagues, both during the day and over night. I work from home 4 days a week plus weekends off so have a lot of spare time and would love the company of a dog during! I have plenty of breaks plus a 1 hour lunch to walk, play and give your pet my undivided attention! I live in a good sized house with a small but secure garden for easy access toilet breaks and play time and am close to good areas for walking.
About: I’m 29, have had 2 beagle boys of my own for the past 6 years so I‘m used to mischievous, energetic dogs who love to cuddle. (I also use Rover as a customer, would love to find someone where we can regularly help with each other’s dogs!) I work from home full time and can pop in on your dog as needed. Happy to walk, feed, provide cuddles, play time or just toilet trips. I only walk dogs from one household at a time, maximum of two dogs per household. Happy to follow any instructions for your dog and will treat your home with complete respect, privacy and safety. Let me know if you have any particular rules or boundaries.
“Kiera has been a great help with my dogs, they seem to really like her (and they don’t like a lot of people!). Communication is always great and no issues leaving a key out. I would 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.”

“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’m a dog lover who’s grown up with animals of all shapes and sizes. My parents owned a working farm, so animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve owned dogs from Mastiff to my current cheeky Sausage dog. With the years of hands on experience I’m confident handling dogs with all kinds of personalities, including those with the challenging behaviour. Whether it’s a long Country Park walk, play time or a simply cuddle on the sofa. I make sure every dog feels safe, happy and loved while in my care. Your dog’s or cat’s wellbeing is always my top priority. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time dog or cat sitting. Various times available , but can be discussed further before booking. If needed to look after a puppy or small dog , I have gated and fenced all around garden, so your pet’s will be safe and secured and my little friendly Dachshund to run around with.

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.

“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.”


About: Hi, my name is Sim, I'm 25 years old, I work full time but on shifts so I have a range of availability based upon my shift patterns. I've got experience in sitting and walking different breeds, and I'm a big breed lover having my own 3 at home! (3 German shepherds!) Currently I do occasionally dog sit for friends and family, typically their dogs stay over with my 3 dogs who love having friends over! So what sets me apart from other walkers and sitters? Well, I love dogs, I've had 5 years of experience (on and off), all my dogs have been adopted and rehomed - so I've worked with a variety of different dogs with different needs. Recently fostering a dog for 3 months and got her trained up before she went to her new home which she's succeeding in! I own a car so I'm happy to travel. And with your permission if you leave your dog with me over night or for a few days, I can take them to locations such as the Peak District to get some quality time in, otherwise to the local parks and nature reserves. 😁 I do have a really big garden which is fenced off. If we require use of a create then we can encourage that with your dog, we just request to provide a bed or item that your dog is currently familiar with to keep in the crate if crate time is required, we want to keep the environment as familiar as possible to help reduce anxiety. My house has multiple cameras situated throughout the property, inside and outside for peace of mind. I work full time but I work different shifts weekly but I know what I'm working well in advance, and I have my partner to lend a hand. Large garden fenced off, cameras around the house and the outside the house so we have eyes on the property at all times. But someone will always be home.

Use this link to get £15 off your first booking with me: https://www.rover.com/sit/adams81629 Licence number: CBCAAL/123 I always try my best to be flexible for my clients. I am happy to walk your furry friend any time: weekday or weekend - rain or shine! I have lots of experience caring for dogs. Every dog is different, at first I just allow them time and space to get used to me if they are a little cautious of new people. Being warm, open and friendly is always the best place to start. If needed, a treat is often the way to a dogs heart!
“Our cat is very wary, touching on the neurotic, but Leanne managed to get close to her and she was much more relaxed when we got home than she normally is. For any cat owners I would certainly recommend Leanne”

About: I have grown up on a dairy farm, and taken care of all types of animals since I was very young. I am incredibly conscientious and have previously worked for 10 years as a nanny/groom. I am available for boarding at weekends, from Friday nights at 5.30pm, and into Monday morning at 8am. I can be flexible where needed. I have a very well, private fenced garden in a quiet village.

About: I have had cats for as long as I can remember, growing up with them from a very young age. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their behaviour, personalities, and individual needs. Currently, I have three cats of my own and two dogs, so caring for multiple cats and managing different temperaments is something I’m very comfortable with. I absolutely love cats—honestly, I’m a bit obsessed. I enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s playing with energetic kittens or giving gentle attention to older, more relaxed cats. I’m experienced with cats at all stages of life, from young, playful kittens to senior cats who may need a quieter, more attentive approach. I’m committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for any cat in my care. I understand that every cat is different, and I’m more than happy to accommodate their individual routines, preferences, and needs—whether that means sticking to specific feeding schedules, administering basic care, or simply giving them the space or affection they require to feel at ease I have a fairly flexible routine that allows me to provide attentive care. During the week (Monday to Friday), I mostly work in the evenings, while on weekends I typically work in the mornings. Outside of these hours, I’m available and able to dedicate time to caring for pets. I’m also more than happy to be flexible and work around my schedule to suit specific needs, ensuring each cat receives the time, attention, and care they require. In my home, I make sure every cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. They’ll have a warm and cosy environment with access to food bowls, a water fountain, and soft cat beds with blankets—although they’re more than welcome to join me on the bed if that’s what they prefer. I provide clean litter trays (one upstairs and one downstairs) to keep things convenient and hygienic. There are plenty of toys and treats to keep them entertained and happy, as well as two cat trees for climbing, scratching, and relaxing. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I always aim to stick closely to their usual routine so they feel as settled as possible. I’ll follow all instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding schedules, playtime, or giving them space, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

Dawn is fantastic. She has looked after our three cats a few times now and is very patient and accommodating about their differing needs/personalities! Dawn keeps us updated while we are away and its such peace of mind to know that she is keeping an eye on the house and the cats.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
