About: Ive had dogs and been arounds dogs all my life. From training puppies to looking after them in their twilight years. Currently dont have a dog of my own at the moment. I work full time from home so I am very flexible with my working hours which allows me to give your pets as much attention as they need. I have a spacious fenced garden and live near some lovely spots for walking. Your pets can enjoy all of my home comforts and play with a bucket full of toys.

“James was a wonderful dog sitter. We were at a loss when our family/friend arrangement fell through when we were going on a trip, and thankfully at the last minute James was available and I couldn't have wished for a better experience for our pup Marley while we were away. They took him for a couple of walks and dog socials in the park and for a splash about in a river with their own dog who he made best friends with. They sent over loads of videos and photos which I will cherish too. I will definitely request James again in future :)”

About: I have always had Dogs in my house since i was born, from a husky to two miniature schnauzers that unfortunately have recently passed. I have cared for them myself for all their 16 years, walking, bathing and grooming them. I have also had experience with larger dogs within my family, from dachshund to labradoodles. I currently work from home so have a very flexible schedule i am often awake from 6 am so i can accommodate many different schedules. I am an avid walker so taking many walks in a day is not an issue. I have access to a crate which would fit a larger or two smaller dogs. I have a smaller fenced garden and a larger one for dogs to play in.

About: Grown up with dogs my whole life. I’ve wanted to be a veterinarian when I grew up but I couldn’t as I wouldn’t be able to do the things they do to animals cause I get so emotional. I did animal care training with ACT and worked with all animals. I’m a stay at home mam so dogs won’t ever be left alone during the day unless I drop my daughter to school which is only 5 mins down the road from where I live so can talk toe dog or dogs with me to drop her off at school then take them for a long walk around my local park I have a small garden with a gate right down to the floor so they can’t escape. They will have free roam of the house (except upstairs)

About: My own dog is an energetic Collie cross - we love going for long, adventurous walks. I've taken care of, and walked, dogs for friends and family for a long time. I work flexible hours from home so always have plenty of time for walks and playtime! I'm available for walks in the early morning, lunchtime or afternoon/evening. I work flexible hours from my home in Merthyr, so can fit in with the needs of your dog, whatever they may be. At home I have a secure decking area and small yard. I have a spacious living room which your dog is free to roam around. (They are allowed on the sofa if it's ok with you!)

About: I’m Tia, I have my own dog who is a beagle and he loves other dogs. Beagles are quite naughty so I’m experienced with naughty dogs!😂 I’m happy to look after or walk any dog/ cat of any size. We have a nice size garden for your dog to explore in and have fun! If your Dog is staying over, they will be allowed to sleep anywhere they want as our dog doesn’t sleep in a cage. But if you wanted your dog to be in a cage at night, that’s totally fine. I absolutely adore animals and I’d be more than happy to meet and look after yours! If your dog doesn’t like other dogs, I’d be able to do the dog walking service, house sitting and drop in services but not any at our house with our dog.

About: Hello! I’m Sophie and my partner is Connor. We share our home—and hearts—with our lovely whippet, Maggie. She’s incredibly gentle, caring, and absolutely adores the company of other dogs. We’re lucky to live right behind a large open field, perfect for long, relaxed walks. We also regularly book secure dog fields to give the dogs in our care plenty of space to run and play safely. Our love for dogs runs through our whole extended family, and we often help look after their furry companions too. Although work commitments currently mean Maggie is our only dog, we pour all our love and attention into every dog we welcome into our home. Weekends are filled with walks, snuggles on the sofa, and trips to dog-friendly cafes—experiences we’d love to share with your pet. We’re available most weekends and school holidays, and throughout your dog’s stay, we’ll send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. We’d be honoured to offer your dog a warm, loving environment where they’ll feel completely at home. We currently working full-time during the weekdays but we are available after 4:30pm most weekdays. We are available on the weekends and during school holidays. We have a fenced garden with grass. Our large open planned kitchen means the dogs have lots of room and can go in and out of the garden with ease. The dogs will never be left alone and will be treated like our own with lots of love and cuddles.

About: I’ve always had dogs my whole life but have finally settled on 4 dogs in our home and provide constant affection and love. We will look after your dogs as we do our own :) A year ago or so I graduated from university and my new job consists of me working from home so will be able to provide as much care as possible. I care for all my dogs in my spare time. I know how hard it can be to find a sitter and would love to help others by caring for the furry members of their family. In my own home, I look after my 1 year old cocker spaniel Rafa, a few month old cocker spaniel Daisy and two rescue lurchers! The lurchers are slightly nervous of other dogs but get settled after an hour or too, we use this as a way to get them more socialised with other dogs. The dogs all have way too many toys which I’m sure they’d love to share, as well as have someone to play and to pass time with. I have a crate, multiple dog beds and a fully fenced garden. We also sometimes visit and pay for the local dog field which allows your dog to run off lead unbothered by other dogs

About: I have wide-ranging experience caring for pets of all ages; I grew up around them and have 2 years experience on Rover. I aim to cater to each pet’s needs whether that’s cuddles (or distance!), playtime, walkies, giving meds and giving treats of course. I pride myself on the patience I can give, whether that’s letting pets sniff me out, sus me out or sniff every bush on a walk! My experience helps me to judge this for each pet and I welcome chats about how I can best meet your pets needs! I can accommodate dogs during the working day (dog friendly workplace), or can provide walking or sitting services outside of normal working day hours/days. I’m able to use my car to take dogs on longer walks if desired. I have a park and plentiful green space on my doorstep. I live and work in a dog friendly environment which means they will have lots of friends to make if they desire!

About: I have worked as an animal care assistant befor but was unable to carry on working due to personal reasons. I have always had dogs at home and love looking after them. I don’t work so I am home all day and able to give all my time and attention to any and every dog that stay here with me is. I have a high fenced back garden which is safe and secure and if there is anything you would like me to do like follow your doggy’s normal routine then just let me know and I will do my best.

Luke B.
“Luke was an absolute lifesaver while we were away for 7 days. He took wonderful care of our puppy, showing him so much love and attention that we came home to a very happy pup! Luke was especially helpful with toilet training—patient, consistent, and clearly experienced. He kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear our puppy was in safe, caring hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and will definitely be asking for Luke again in the future. Highly recommended to anyone needing trusted pet care!”
