Such a positive experience as a first time user of support for my Border Terriers. Alison was professional punctual and communicative which all made the experience very smooth..but more importantly my dogs took to her and her home instantly and the videos and pictures made me fear they may not want to come home! Next stay is already booked 😁

About: I've always had animals growing up varying from cats and dogs to hamsters and fish so I understand the care and trust required to taking care of them. I have taken care of animals with my family from a young age including cat and dog sitting as well as daily check ins, socialising and feeds. Most recently I have been on standby for relatives pets when I'm available, usually during school holidays however decided that it's time to offer my services to the wider community. I have had experience training two of my own puppies as well as providing senior care to my relatives dog when sitting, including providing medication. Typically in term time, I am a teacher meaning my availability shortens to evenings and weekends however from June - September I work from home and can therefore be flexible to work around what's best for you and your pet. During school holidays my availability will become larger rather than being evening and weekend based. I'm currently working on a zero hour contract therefore my weekly schedule is super flexible as I work from home. I have my own dog so tend to take him out twice a day alongside a morning and evening feed with lots of playing in between! Due to my flexibility I can work around your schedule to ensure your furry friends are cared for. I am happy to come over for a home visit prior to your first booking to meet yourselves as well as your pet(s) to ensure they have a level of familiarity with me upon the first time we go on a walk or pop in for a visit. This allows you to see how comfortable your pet(s) will be in my company for peace of mind along side allowing me to gain any information from you such as feed times / amounts / walking routes your pet is most comfortable with or toys they enjoy playing with the most.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for many years, beginning with family and friends’ dogs, helping with walking, feeding, and day-to-day care. Four years ago, after a change in jobs, I welcomed my own dog, Booby a English Springer Spaniel so I’m very familiar with high-energy breeds and the importance of regular exercise, mental stimulation, and routine. Daily walks and outdoor time are a big part of my life. I’m calm, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I understand that energetic dogs need both structure and patience, and I’m happy to tailor walks or visits to suit their personality, pace, and routine. I’ll always treat your dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I work full time, so I offer dog walking and drop-in visits during evenings and at weekends. This fits naturally into my routine as I already spend much of my free time outdoors walking with my own dog. I’m organised, reliable, and happy to stick to agreed times and routines. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. I carefully follow owner instructions, keep dogs secure on leads during walks, and make sure they feel comfortable and settled during visits. I’m calm, attentive, and respectful of your home, and I’m always happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up on the Gower with a country-farm lifestyle meant daily life with all sorts of companions! From the little ones (my hamster was called Ray Charles) to the ones with wings (chickens and pigeons) through to kitties, dogs, goats and even horses. That upbringing shaped my passion for compassionate, patient care, especially for rescue animals who need a little extra understanding. I’m confident with different temperaments and ages, happy to follow detailed instructions, and committed to welfare-first - it is always stress-free care. I treat every pet like family as that’s what they deserve! I work remotely and currently work from home Wednesday - Friday, which means I have plenty of time for fuss, play, and pop-in visits across the week. I’m a very active person, getting some fresh air at lunchtime and after work to mentally reset - furry friends are essential companions! Weekends I’m very flexible and able to provide longer term sitting solutions, including overnight care. I currently have two beautiful (and probably a little spoiled) tabby cats and a lively cocker spaniel puppy! My cats spend time indoors and outdoors with a designated safe and quiet space in my attic with lots of cosy cubbies, cat towers and toys. I have a fully enclosed garden with lawn (which is great for snuffle activities) with a level patio for play with toys and little games of fetch.

About: Loads of experience being a dog mum to three different breads, different temperaments and different needs to a GSP , Beagle and a Mini Dachshund With a flexible university schedule, I’m often home, making it easy for me to care for my own dogs and look after other fur babies. I assure care, safety and full attention towards my pets and other owners dogs. I’m a great sitter as patient, responsible whilst also keeping the environment clean and comfortable for them. My flexible university schedule means I can spend quality time with pets, and my experience with my own dogs has taught me how to handle different temperaments and needs with care and confidence.

About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life as we've always had one as a family pet. I've also taken friends and neighbours dogs for walks along with dog sitting them. I always make a lovely bond and always make sure all animals are well looked after as they are more family than animals Pet care becomes a natural part of my own daily rhythm it’s woven into my schedule almost like clockwork. Here’s how it typically fits in: Morning: Wake-up nudge: Your dog might be your alarm clock. First task? A quick potty break or walk. Feeding time: You prep their breakfast while maybe grabbing your own. Grooming check: A quick brush, paw check, or wiping off muddy paws if needed. Midday: Exercise/play: Whether you're on a lunch break or home during the day, this is a chance to stretch legs and play fetch or tug. Mental stimulation: Maybe a puzzle toy, a training session, or even just some one-on-one time. Evening: Walk or play session: A wind-down activity that burns off energy. Feeding and clean-up: Dinner and water refill, along with any tidying up. Affection/cuddles: Pets need emotional care, too. This could be snuggle time on the couch while you relax. Before Bed: Bathroom break: One last trip outside. Health checks: You might slip in a quick ear check, teeth brushing, or meds if needed. I have a fenced off garden front and back due to having my own dogs with a side gate, dogs will not get out alone

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my strong background in animal care combined with years of hands-on, real-life experience. I studied Animal Care at college for almost five years, which gave me a solid understanding of animal behaviour, welfare, and the importance of proper daily care. Alongside my studies, I have spent much of my life caring for my own dogs and cats, as well as looking after pets for friends and family who trusted and relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their animals while they were away. This experience has taught me how important routine, patience, and individual attention are for keeping pets happy and relaxed. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Every pet is different, and I take the time to understand their needs, personalities, and routines so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in my hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. Although I work full time Monday to Friday, I have plenty of free time before and after work, allowing me to give pets the attention, care, and consistency they need. I’m available for boarding on weekdays after 17:00, as well as throughout weekends, when I can dedicate even more time to walks, play, and companionship. My routine is calm and structured, which helps pets settle quickly and feel comfortable in my care. Mornings and evenings are always focused on feeding, walks, playtime, and one-to-one attention, ensuring pets never feel rushed or overlooked. Weekends offer even more flexibility, making them ideal for longer stays, extra walks, and relaxed time together. Whether it’s weekday evenings or weekend boarding, your pet will be welcomed into a safe, caring environment where their routine and wellbeing always come first. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. My home is fully fenced, providing a secure outdoor space where pets can enjoy fresh air safely under supervision. I also have CCTV cameras both inside and outside the property, offering an extra layer of security and constant monitoring for complete peace of mind. While in my care, each pet will be fitted with an AirTag, allowing their location to be tracked at all times. This added precaution ensures that, should the unexpected ever occur, your pet can be located quickly and easily. In addition to these measures, I closely supervise all pets, follow their usual routines, and take time to understand their individual needs and boundaries. My aim is to create a safe, calm, and secure environment where you can feel confident knowing your pet is protected and well cared for at all times.

Laura has had my dog a few times now, from overnight to pop in visits. I was very worried at due to never have left him with anyone other than family. Arlo now loves seeing Laura and I would highly highly recommend Laura as she is great with dogs. keeps you updated through the day with info and pictures etc! no reason to use anyone else going forward!

About: Nijo & Jenny Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up in a home with multiple dogs and cats and have cared for pets for many years. Over time, I have looked after and cared for dogs ranging from small breeds to large breeds, each with their own unique personalities, needs and routines. As a Merchant Navy Officer, I have 2 mo tha rotation, where I am onboard for 2-3 and at home on leave for 2-3 months. During my leave periods, I am home full-time for up to two months at a stretch, allowing me to provide plenty of companionship, exercise and supervision. My wife and I are both passionate animal lovers and regularly help friends with their dogs. Due to my work pattern we are unable to get a dog ourselves currently but we try to compensate that by lending a hand to our friends with pets. We understand that every pet is different, and we strive to provide a safe, loving and stress-free home away from home where pets are treated as part of the family. We ourselves use rover when we go for vacations and understand the situation, we strive to create a second home for your furry friends and would be part of our family. When I am on leave from work, I am available at home full-time and can dedicate my attention to your pet throughout the day. This allows me to maintain their usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, rest periods and plenty of companionship. I enjoy spending time outdoors and regularly visit local walking areas such as Brynna Woods and Smilog Woods. Depending on your dog's preferences and energy levels, I can also provide longer walks, park visits and beach outings. I only accept one household's dog at a time, ensuring your pet receives individual attention and a calm environment. Your pet's safety and wellbeing are my highest priorities. My wife and I live in a spacious home with a secure fenced back garden, providing a safe environment for dogs to relax, play and explore. We also share our home with our friendly domestic shorthair cat, Simba, who is comfortable around dogs that respect her space. Before every booking, I take time to understand your pet's routine, preferences, dietary requirements and any special instructions. My wife is a medical doctor and is happy to assist with routine medications if required, providing additional reassurance for owners whose pets may need ongoing treatment during their stay. I only accept one household's dog at a time, ensuring your pet receives individual attention, plenty of supervision and a calm environment. I will also provide regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, comfortable and well cared for.
