About: Hi, I’m Keeley! I’m new to Rover, but grew up with dogs and regularly host my friends and families dogs whilst they are on holiday! I adore dogs of all kinds and would love to care for yours with the same love and attention as you do at home. Your dog/s will be the only pet in the home (aside from some friendly fish!). My aim is to provide a safe and welcoming environment full of lots of playing, cuddles and walks (or whatever else your dog might prefer). I live in a house, where the dogs are welcome to roam and relax as they please. I also have an enclosed garden and only offer bookings on days where I will be available all day, so you don’t have to worry about your pup being left alone. I am also near to some great walking and sniffing spots! I can provide updates as frequently as you would like and am happy to discuss any particular requirements your dog may have! Please feel free to reach out :) thank you I work in healthcare and do three long shifts per week, so I only offer availability on days and nights where I am completely free to spend time with your pup. I live in a house with an enclosed garden and near to lots of great walking and sniffing spots. I am home all day/night when dogs are booked in and am happy to accommodate any particular needs or routines.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life. My family have had dogs since I was little and I now regularly look after my mums dog during the week and when she goes on holiday as well as other family and friends dogs. I am available during the week and on weekends and work from home so I can be flexible to suit you needs. I work from home and have an office in the garden so your dog would have constant company and be free to roam from the house to the garden. I walk every day and I love being outdoors in the fresh air. I also have a car so can collect your dogs or pop over for company/toilet breaks or for a walk. I have a fully enclosed fenced back garden with plenty of space. Your dog will be treated like one of the family with plenty of love, walks, cuddles and attention. My home is their home. I live 2 minutes from a park, 10 minutes from the forest and 30 minutes from the beach so there are plenty of places for walks. I have a husband and a daughter who are both dog lovers but it will be me who will take full care and control of your dog while in our home

About: I’ve been around animals since early childhood with years of caring for pups, cats, even chickens of all breeds and sizes. I’ve looked after dogs and cats for friends, family and have a growing list of happy clients. Whether your dog loves long walks, your cats zoomy playtime or just a cozy nap buddy, they’ll be treated like family in my care. I currently work full-time Monday to Friday, 9–5, so early mornings, evenings, weekends and overnight sitting are no problem at all. Additional arrangements can be made to fit your needs as required. I’m happy to tailor walks from your doorstep and for dogs who enjoy car travel, I can also take them to the New Forest for relaxed trail walks I know well. During boarding, your dog will enjoy a spacious home with ample fields to explore. I’ll happily adapt to their routine to ensure they feel comfortable.

About: Hi, I’m Danny Aller I’ve been around animals my whole life — my grandma ran a kennel business, so from a young age, I was helping care for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I’d help her groom, feed, and love on every pup that came through her doors. Over the years, I’ve had pets of my own too — dogs, cats, and even a couple of raccoons! Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle, or just keeping your pet company while you're away, I’ve got it covered with care and experience you can trust. I work full time 8am/3pm so after work I have plenty of time to care/walk dog/cats/any pet I’m honest reliable passionate for all animals alike. To make sure your pets get the best care I will provide them with my undivided attention at all times meaning any of my personal pets will stay at home. While walking I’ll make sure the safety of your pet is my first and only priority. Meaning keep other animals away making sure I’m in a close walking distance at all time. Like stated before safe/secure/comfortable is my biggest concern for the owner also the pet.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life, they have mostly been rescues and larger to middle dog breeds. I am confident and calm around dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities. I also have a little experience with cats and small dog breeds which have mostly been family pets. I have some experience in basic training and I can connect well with dogs who need that little bit of extra time, attention and patience. I have this experience because my family dog who's 13 has Cushing's disease and has issues with her back legs. I have a lot of experience with German Shepard's (my old girl is a German Shepard cross) and Collie's, but I would love to expand my experience with other dog breeds and also cats ☺️ I am currently on summer break for university so my schedule if currently very open and flexible. I spend most of my time reading, walking, or going to the gym which means that I will be able to give your fur baby/babies plenty of time and attention they need. I'm available for walks and/or pop-ins most weekdays and weekends, including short notice bookings. However, my schedule will change a bit once university starts back up but it won't change drastically. I'm happy to follow your pet's usual routine, do a bit of training with them if needed, use crates if needed/requested. I will also provide you with regular updates and pictures so that you can feel relaxed, confident and connected while you are away. I hold a full, clean driving license just in case of any emergencies or vet visits.

About: I am 18 years old and about to finish a level 3 qualification in animal management which allowed me to develop my knowledge on the care of a wide range of animals including domestics, and I was able to gain more experience with cats and dogs during practical sessions. I was taught how to complete thorough health checks (both visual and physical) to ensure I am able to monitor their health. I have had a cat since I was around four years old and I got a dog around 3 years ago so I am familiar with the typical routine of a domestic pet, plus I have some skills in dog training as I was required to train my dog for an assignment at college. Besides my own pets, I have cared for both cats and dogs since I was young as I would look after friends and family’s pets when they were away. I completed a six month placement at a kennel and cattery, during my first year of college, where I gained hands on experience with administering care for cats and dogs and I was taught to be able to recognise their behaviours and identify when something may be wrong. Last year I also volunteered at an animal shelter for a few months where the majority of my responsibilities involved caring for cats of all ages and temperaments - which included cleaning out, feeding, providing enrichment, and socialising, especially with young or nervous cats. Some of my tasks also involved working with the dogs such as cleaning out, exercising, grooming, providing enrichment, and socialising. I am currently at college 3 days a week, however I am free on Wednesdays, Friday afternoons, Saturdays and Sundays. I may also be available after college in the evenings in some cirumstances. I provide care in the pet owner’s home so that the animal can stay in a comfortable and familiar environment. I follow any specific instructions to ensure their routine is kept the same. I aim to build trust with both the animals and their owners through clear communication and reliability.

About: I understand the importance of having personalised, loving care to each animal. I offer top notch pet care services tailored to meet unique needs of every pet I look after. I have a range of experience with a variety of dogs from low energy to high energy. I also have 3 years experience working and caring for Guinea pigs, Rabbits and Cats so am able to look at looking after other animals and able to discuss that in the service. I am physically capable if looking after large dogs and smaller ones. Through my knowledge learnt at college I am able to apply that to the needs of your animal. I am DBS checked and am more than happy to travel to your homes to provide the best care for your animals. I'm currently working part time and studying at college but still have time to look after some furry friends and get some much needed animal love. I have a decently sized fenced of garden that can provide so much fun for your dog to enjoy and to play around with too.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life, which has allowed me to develop a deep love and understanding for them. My family had a Labrador named Laisa, who was much more than a pet; she became a therapeutic companion for a family member dealing with mental health challenges. Her presence not only supported their recovery but also brought ease and joy to our daily lives, leaving an indelible mark on us all. I have also always been available to care for friends’ pets when they go on holiday, either by welcoming them into my home or visiting their homes to ensure they are fed and well looked after. Additionally, I have a modest background in animal therapy, which has further enriched my understanding of the profound positive impact animals can have on our lives. Before I began travelling and exploring the world, I had a wonderful horse named “Mortadelo.” Together, we enjoyed therapeutic rides and created a unique bond that taught me the true meaning of human-animal connection. All these experiences have instilled in me the importance of patience, care, and unconditional love for animals—values I bring to every opportunity I have to care for a pet. I am available to offer my help on weekends and all day on Mondays. From Tuesday to Thursday, I am available after 8:00 PM. On Fridays, I am available after 4:00 PM. I understand how important your pet is to you and assure you they will be in caring and experienced hands with me. I've grown up with dogs, cared for a family Labrador, worked as a guide dog trainer in Spain, and frequently looked after friends' pets. I offer personalized care tailored to your pet's specific needs, including feeding, walking, playtime, and companionship. Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities, and I am dedicated to providing them with the best possible care. You can trust that I will treat your pet with love and attention, ensuring their comfort and security.

About: I have grown up with dogs and puppies all different sizes and breeds. I have had experience dog sitting in other people's homes and my own as well as walking. I work full time but work can be flexible and depending on the day. Most weekends I am out with my own dogs walking as well as other people's either together or separately. Myself and my partner are looking to buy a house and are trying to get into the New Forest as much as we can. My partner may join me on dog walks or house sitting. He has very similar experiences as myself as he has grown up around dogs as well. In our photos Poppy is my dog and Missy is his. At someone else's home I always visit first the owners and their pets to meet and make sure that they like me as well as getting to know the house. Where is secure and what their pets routine looks like so that I can follow it to the best of my ability.

About: Hi, I’m Rosie I’m 21 years old and looking to get back into dog walking/sitting. I’ve been dog walking/sitting ever since school. I would always pick up jobs around the neighbourhood to earn some cash. I love going on walks with my own dogs (especially when it’s muddy) they love playing in the mud. I love to play with them. I’m very good with animals and would love to make some furry new friends 🐾🐾 Im very trusted an have looked after many dogs over the last few years. My current job allows me to have lots of availability an I think this would be a great way to use my time. 🐾 Look forward to meeting some new friends 🐾 I’m currently working as an air hostess on a 5in 3off schedule. However we don’t fly everyday which means to us not having a routine. I feel taking on this roll will help me have more of a routine. I have a fenced garden with my own dogs to keep yours company. They love to play with others dogs and are so friendly. I always keep the dogs on the lead They are off lead trained however I like to take the precaution. I can offer dogs from different households at once however prefer to have a separate so I can pay full attention to the dogs🐾

About: I have offered dog walking and pet sitting services for over 7 years. I recognise the anxiety that comes with trusting another person to care for your animals, and I always treat every pet as if it was my own! I work as a full time nurse, and my schedule changes every week. This means I have some weekdays and some weekends available to offer pet walking and sitting services. I currently do not offer any pet sitting services within my own home, due to having my own pets and this being their own space.

About: Highly experienced with dogs of all sizes and breeds, both young and old. I now have the space to welcome in dogs in need of care, while their owners are away. I live in the New Forest and only a 15 minute drive from the beach. So Forest and beach walks available, as well as local pootles around the local area. I have plenty of room in the house for snoozing and plenty of room in my heart for cuddles. Driver, no points on licence. Non smoker and drinker. I’m self employed and primarily work from home. With the odd day in the office - I would not consider taking a dog on, on the days I’m in the office. I walk every day and look forward to welcoming a 4-legged friend along for the journey. Interesting walks, exploring and fun. I have a secure garden, enclosed by a 6ft fence and locked gate. Your dog will be given the space to make my home, theirs, for the time they’re with me. Happy to liaise with owners to ensure that I am doing everything I can to ensure your dogs happiness.

About: I have had a love of animals ever since I can remember, but dogs are my absolute love. I have cared for many over the years, including my own, friends and family. I have all the experience to provide a safe and loving environment for your dog to stay at when you need it. I have experience of many breed types and characters, as well as the knowledge to care for puppies to seniors and dogs with long term illnesses, such as diabetes or pancreatitis. I am home every day, all day and therefore am more than able to provide a tailored routine for your dog. Their needs would be my primary concern. I have a friendly dog who is always happy to have other dogs come to stay or walk with us. They would have the run of the house as our dog does. We have a garden and a wood just across the road to walk in every day.

About: We always had dogs growing up, including rescues, but unfortunately I'm not home enough to have one full time. Living in the New Forest, it seems crazy not to have their company on my beach and forest walks. I love animals and have lots of experience being around them. I've always offered to take my friend's dogs out for walks, it makes me happy to know they're getting out for some fresh air and exercise. I'm currently on a sabbatical so have plenty of free time. I'm surrounded by lots of amazing walks and like to keep active by getting out every day. I have a good understanding of animal behaviour and will respect the rules the owner has set. I'm also happy to help with any training and will love your dog as much as you.

My dog is super needy but stayed happily with Keeley for 16 nights in a lovely house with an enclosed garden. Nothing was too much trouble and I was kept updated with photos of her snoozing, playing and having some gorgeous walks. I could not fault the care Poppy received and when I returned she was relaxed, healthy and had eaten well too, highly recommended. So convenient when cruising from Southampton too!

I can’t recommend Danny highly enough as a dog walker. He’s responsible, punctual, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. From the moment he met my dog, it was obvious he knew how to build trust and handle dogs with both confidence and kindness. Danny goes above and beyond—making sure my dog gets not just exercise, but also attention, affection, and mental stimulation on every walk. He’s also great at communicating and always lets me know how the walk went. It gives me total peace of mind knowing my dog is in such capable hands. Any pup would be lucky to have Danny as their walker!

Jess has looked after my dog Brian many times, and I honestly wouldn’t want anyone else. She’s super reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals – Brian absolutely adores her! He’s a very nervy dog around pretty much everything, but Jess is so patient and gentle with him. She takes him on proper walks, gives him loads of attention, and always keeps me updated with photos. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in safe, loving hands when I’m not around. Would absolutely recommend her.

I highly recommend Jade as a pet sitter and dog walker. She has regularly stayed at our home to look after our cat while we’re away, and every time we return, it’s clear our cat has been well cared for and comfortable. She’s attentive, responsible, and clearly loves animals. Not only is our pet happy, but our home is always left exactly as we left it—clean, tidy, and well looked after. It’s such a relief knowing everything is in great hands while we’re gone.

Rosie would help me on my doggy walks when my family owned a dog walking business. All the dogs loved her, she is very playful and made sure all dogs were safe.

About: I have offered dog walking and pet sitting services for over 7 years. I recognise the anxiety that comes with trusting another person to care for your animals, and I always treat every pet as if it was my own! I work as a full time nurse, and my schedule changes every week. This means I have some weekdays and some weekends available to offer pet walking and sitting services. I currently do not offer any pet sitting services within my own home, due to having my own pets and this being their own space.

Brilliant service. Professional, caring and followed my particular instructions to a tee. Ellie kept us updated with pictures of our cats and gave our beloved boys the love and care we would give them ourselves. Fantastic! Will defo use Ellie and her partner again.

Elaine is a caring and compassionate person who has a deep love for dogs. Elaine has taken her own dogs out for walks in the New Forest come rain or shine on a regular basis. I completely recommend Elaine as a loving and responsible pet caregiver.

My mum often looks after my giant schnauzer Loki with great care and attention. Loki loves his days spent playing and having lots of cuddles! I feel that Loki is left in the best care when he is with her and I would absolutely recommend to anyone.

I would thoroughly recommend Katrina to become a pet sitter. She is one of the most kind and caring people I know. She loves dogs and loves going for walks in the New Forest which is right on her doorstep. She has looked after her friends and family's dogs when they go on holiday and gives the dogs lots of love and attention and the animals remember her and get so excited when they see her. She would be perfect for this.
