“Wendy was a fantastic carer for our little dog. Welcoming her into her home and taking her for little trips including a day on the beach. I would highly recommend Wendy and would definitely use her services again.”
“Our two dogs settled really quickly in Kate's home. It was the first time we'd left them anywhere overnight and we felt happy and relaxed that they were in good, safe, caring hands. Would definitely recommend 🩷🩷”
“Joey was well cared for and came back happy and healthy. Communication was great throughout and will definitely book again in the near future. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for Sitters.”
About: I've been around dogs for over 30 years and love them. A wonderful friend suggested dog sitting and i think it's a fab idea. I know dogs are not humans and need gentle and loving car . . . Actually a bit like humans! But without the explaining, i guess I work, but generally between 09:00 - 14:30 max. With 30 minutes travel time. The work day would start and end with a walk. Food afterwards. I feel it better to eat after exercise. I like to share, sofas, beds and little treats from my meals _ if ok I have a fully fenced rear garden, with lawn & hedge. Open lawned front garden. North facing, rear kitchen diner with patio doors _ so nice and cool and quiet (but with plenty of birds and an occasional cat to add interest). Doggie height front room window to say 'hello' as the neighbourhood passes by. Wooden floors and sofas downstairs and a my bed to sleep on upstairs _ unless suggested otherwise. Dog walking field a few minutes one way and duck pond ten minutes the other. Wonderful beaches at seaton canoe 20 mins away.
About: Hi! 👋 I love dogs, having trained 3 of my own and helped family and friends train theirs.

“Dodger had a lovely stay with Jackie! Jackie was caring, very attentive and her own dog Oreo was the perfect host. Lovely lady! Dodger was a very happy pooch so would definitely book again!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience! ❤️ Teddy was so well looked after and clearly felt completely at home. I received regular photos and updates throughout the week, which was so reassuring that I genuinely didn't worry about him at all. They were incredibly kind, caring and attentive, and I could see how happy and relaxed Teddy was with them. I think he had such a lovely holiday of his own that he wasn't particularly keen to come home! 😂 I couldn't have asked for better people to look after him and would happily leave Teddy with them again. Highly recommend! ❤️”
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life, growing up in a community where many neighbours and friends had dogs. I also shared a dog for several years, taking responsibility for feeding, daily walks, exercise, and making sure he was happy and well cared for. I have professional dog walking and pet sitting experience in Leeds, looking after dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m reliable, patient, and always make sure every dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while their owners are away. I’m currently available most days and can be flexible to suit your schedule. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits or overnight stays, I’ll make sure your dog gets the care, exercise and attention they need. Your dog’s safety and happiness are always my priority. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, keep them comfortable in their own environment, provide regular updates, and treat them with the same care and attention as if they were my own.
“Alice and Timmy were amazing! Delilah seemed to have the best time with them! They sent photos of their adventures and gave me updates. Delilah actually seemed sad when they dropped her off!! Will definitely be using Alice and Timmy again! Thank you so much for looking after my little one 🥰”
“Minnie had a wonderful time with Kay. We felt at ease instantly, as Kay was so thorough when asking about Minnie’s needs and showed her lots of love from the get go. She has an amazing garden which Minnie wasted no time in enjoying! Kay sent lots of updates with photos and videos to put our mind at ease too which was fab. We would recommend to anyone who would like a kind, loving home away from home for their pup, we will certainly be using Kay again.”
About: I've grown up with dogs and have had my own as an adult for the past 12 years. I am dog mum to an 11 year old cocker spaniel and a 3 year old daxie - my pride and joy. I have experience with animals from as small as puppies to as large as horses. I am kind, caring, loving and patient. I will treat your babies just how I treat my own, like royalty.

About: I provide extra attention and care to pets. Because of how meticulous I am, I easily and quickly notice changes in their personalities or moods which is very necessary in picking up signs of health issues or any distress. I believe it is very important to treat animals with love and provide them with all the care possible. I have catered for different kinds of pets so I am very aware that different pets require personal attention and care specific to them because temperaments and behavioural patterns are different. That helped me understand better how to train pets based on their individual/personal circumstances. Every pet is a new joyful experience for me. It warms my heart to care for them which makes me feel like they do more for me. I love them.
“Initial contact was great. She visited us first with 1 dog then we visited her house and dogs met each other. She was very caring and sensitive to Millie’s needs who is quite highly strung. She came back very happy and relaxed. Emily communicated well with us keeping us informed. Would recommend and will be using her again.”
About: I have experience in dog boarding for my external family on a regular. My flexible working schedule would allow me to spend more time with dogs. I’m surrounded by woodland that is great for dog walking. I work 4 days a week . I work from home majority of the time. I have 2 children who love dogs, they are aged 7 and 8. I have a fenced back garden. My house has 4 bedrooms with a large kitchen and a large living room so dogs have plenty of space.
About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and have over 20 years of experience caring for my own cats. Alongside this, I have around 10 years of hands-on experience looking after dogs for extended periods, often for weeks at a time. I’m very comfortable with animals of all personalities and needs, and I genuinely enjoy providing them with a safe, happy, and loving environment while they’re in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I’m not currently working, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to give pets the attention they deserve. I’m home most of the day, so I can maintain consistent feeding schedules, provide regular playtime, and ensure pets feel comfortable and settled. I’m able to adapt my routine around each pet’s needs, whether that’s multiple walks for dogs, quiet companionship for cats, or sticking closely to specific care instructions. Because of my availability, I can offer a calm, attentive environment and won’t need to rush or leave pets alone for long periods. I provide attentive, reliable care whether pets are in my home or in their owner’s home. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment where pets can settle in comfortably, sticking closely to their usual routines for feeding, play, and rest. I make sure they get plenty of attention, stimulation, and affection so they feel relaxed and at home. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to maintain the pet’s normal routine. I ensure feeding schedules, walks, litter or garden care, and any specific needs are met consistently. I also keep owners updated for peace of mind, so they know their pets are happy and well looked after while they’re away.
“Amy and Alex are truly wonderful people who took such loving care of our 11-month-old Golden Retriever puppy for 10 days while welcoming him into their home. From the initial booking to the handover and pick-up, everything went smoothly. They were incredibly reliable, communicated promptly, and kept us updated every day with messages and lovely photos of Albert, which gave us great peace of mind. They were very attentive to Albert’s needs and made him feel completely at home. They took him on plenty of walks and made sure he received lots of care, attention, and affection. We also loved that Albert had the opportunity to spend time with Jasper, their dog, and enjoyed being around another dog during his stay. When we picked him up, Albert was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. It was obvious that he had a wonderful time with them and hadn’t missed a thing. We couldn’t have been happier with the experience and would absolutely trust Amy and Alex to look after Albert again. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for kind, reliable, and caring dog sitters.”
“Having been let down by another sitter we found Andrew what impressed me was the personal write up on his profile, due to the fact we have 2 rescue dogs we thought Andrew’s previous experience would be perfect and this turned out to be correct Dexter & Holly have just returned after a one night trial and all has gone well, before booking this we went through with the dogs to see if we could introduce them and see how it went Due to Andrew’s perfect calm nature the dogs settled to our amazement really well and Holly fell in love with Andrew The overnight stay has gone well even though the dogs seemed more anxious when dropping off Dexter who we thought may be an issue settled straight away but through patients and staying away Holly settled after 2 hours I would highly recommend Andrew but reluctant as I don’t want him to become too busy so we can’t get back booked in 😂 It has been a pleasure dealing with Andrew and his lovely partner Sian we feel blessed to have found such a lovely caring perfect dog sitter and now booking up for our dogs when we go on Holiday Regards Colin & Nicky”

We received photo updates and a quick report about how she was getting on. When we returned from our trip away Vera was settled and content, having been well looked after.”

About: I've loved cats for as long as I can remember and for the past 15 years I've been lucky enough to share my home with them. Living with cats has taught me that every one is different – some want to play and chat, others would much rather observe you from afar! I'm happy to take the time to get to know your cat and care for them in the way that suits them best. By day, I run my own business, so being organised, dependable and communicating well with people is second nature to me. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your cat is a big decision, so I pride myself on being reliable, respectful and treating every home with care. During my visits I'll make sure your cat has everything they need, keep to their usual routine as much as possible and send regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing they're happy and well. I'm also happy to water plants, bring in post and keep an eye on your home while you're away. I hold an enhanced DBS check and cover Norton, Wynyard, Billingham and the surrounding areas.
About: I’ve always loved cats and really enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s keeping them company, playing with them or simply giving them a calm and relaxed presence while you’re away. I understand that every cat has a different personality, from confident and affectionate to shy and independent, and I’m happy to go at their pace and follow their usual routine.
“Ivett has done such an amazing job of looking after our girl while we were away for a couple of days! She has sent lovely updates and videos to reassure us that Scratty was OK. Scratty really loved Ivett and was so relaxed and happy when she visited. Thank you Ivett for making our time away much less stressful!”

About: I have loved and cared for dogs my entire life and have grown up in a dog loving home. My family has a French Bulldog who is now 12 years old, and I have been closely involved in his care throughout his life from a little pup all the way to a senior dog. I regularly look after him when my family are away, ensuring his daily routines are maintained and that he feels comfortable and well cared for. In addition to this, I frequently care for other family pets while they are on holiday, providing walking, feeding, and general day to day care. I am attentive, patient, and reliable, and I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and cared for as they would be at home. I am available for dog boarding, doggy daycare, dog walking and drop in visits on weekends. I can organise longer stays/visits upon request. For clients that choose dog boarding/dog sitting, I live with my partner who will also be in the house as he works at home full time. I provide a calm, safe, and attentive environment both in my home and in a pet owner’s home. In my home, dogs have plenty of room to relax and I also have a large, fully fenced garden where they can safely play and get fresh air. Outside of my home, I have access to lots of green spaces, which allows me to take dogs on regular walks in quiet surroundings. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I follow all instructions carefully to maintain their normal routines, including feeding, walking and any specific care needs.
“Amy was absolutely amazing with our 8-month-old Golden Retriever, Albert! I reached out only a few days before we needed daycare, and Amy replied immediately and was happy to help. Since I wasn’t sure how Albert would react to new people and other dogs, we even arranged a quick meet-and-greet beforehand, which made me feel really comfortable and reassured. Amy was reliable, flexible, and incredibly easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. She kept me updated during the day with messages and photos, which I really appreciated. Even though Albert is still a puppy and not fully trained yet, she was very patient and welcoming. Her dog Jasper is lovely as well, and the two dogs got along perfectly. It was also really nice to see how much care and attention Albert received during his stay — Amy even took him on a long walk, which he clearly enjoyed a lot. Amy is super friendly, open, and genuinely caring. I would trust her with Albert again anytime and will definitely book with her again.”
“Harvey spent the day here and was very chilled when we collected him. He was very well looked after and had obviously enjoyed the day. Kay is lovely and we will definitely be booking again and it was so nice to not worry about him and know he was being so well cared for.”
About: I love dogs and have 4 years of experience caring for my Cockapoo, as well as 1 year of experience looking after a friend’s puppy. I also work in a charity that helps dogs, which has given me even more experience and a strong understanding of how important it is to provide dogs with kindness, patience and care. I enjoy spending time with dogs and keeping them happy and active. I can play fetch with them indoors or in the garden, take them for walks on a lead, brush their coats, and clean their paws after walks or when they’ve been outside. I’m also happy to clean them up after they’ve done their business. I’m a caring, responsible and patient person, and I will treat every dog as if they were my own. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, loved and well looked after. 🐶❤️ I’m currently working from home and I will walk my dog at 10 am on weekdays. If I have work to do offline such as at schools or store, I will walk him at 7 am. I have plenty of time for afternoon or evening when I finish work or have a break from work to look after pets who need toilet breaks or feeding. I have a fenced garden in a semi-detached house and a park within 5 minutes walk from the house. I love walking dogs in the park and playing balls with them for a bit. I also like playing hide and seek games with them in the house and let them use their energy for a bit after their treats and naps.
“So glad I found Andrew. Was the first time using Rover and first time leaving Jasper with anyone other than family so I was more than a little nervous. Andrew sent me updates and photos to put my mind at rest. Jasper settled in straight away and will definitely be booking again.”
About: I have grown up with a household full all animals ranging from insects, rodents, cats and dogs. I have looked after and walked dogs since I was 15, and have owned dogs for the last 13 years. I have always had a passion for animals and hold an honors degree in animal behaviour. I have always rescued dogs (greyhounds) and take on the older ones with behavioural or health challenges. I have a lot of experience with older dogs and dogs that come with additional care requirements. I have completed dog first aid, cared for dogs with severe injuries and health issues ranging from dog attacks to advanced cancers, organ failure and spinal issues. I am very experienced in administering medications for unwell animals and a dab hand with vet-wrap for those clumsier pups (side effect of owning sighthounds). I work full time, however I will be taking your dogs into work with me where it is a dog friendly environment. They will receive 24hr care. There are fields and woodlands nearby for walks. I will tailor my care for you pets. I have a good size house with a fully fenced garden. The fence is 6ft so they will be secure. Your pets will be able to roam free, however I do have a crate for any animals that prefer to sleep in them or younger ones that might need time outs to continue crate training.
“★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Thank you so much for looking after Odie! We were down for a wedding and it was so nice to not have to worry about the dog for the day. Was also lovely to have frequent photos and updates. Would definitely recommend. :-)”
“James and his family were amazing. Bruce settled really well. I knew from the first meet that they were perfect for Bruce and am so glad I have found them! Will be using them regularly”
“Elizabeth was lovely, worked well with the instructions I passed on and kept me up to date with videos and photos. Really lovely care of Poppy who clearly had a lovely time playing with Bailey.”
About: 🐾 A Home Away From Home for Your Best Friend! 🐾 Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of every age, breed, and personality. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, so I understand that every pup is unique and deserves plenty of love, patience, and individual attention. From energetic puppies learning the ropes to gentle senior dogs needing a little extra care, I'm experienced with it all. I've helped with puppy training, supported older dogs with arthritis and mobility issues, and cared for every stage in between. Whether your dog is full of zoomies or prefers a slower pace, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy during their stay. I've looked after dogs of all shapes and sizes—from tiny Jack Russells right up to gentle giants like Dogues de Bordeaux—so no matter how big or small your four-legged family member is, they'll be welcomed with open arms. Your dog will have plenty of room to make themselves at home in our spacious house, with lots of cosy spots to relax, nap, or simply potter about. Outside, we have a large, secure garden where they can stretch their legs, play, sniff, and soak up the fresh air. We're also surrounded by beautiful countryside, making it the perfect place for exciting adventures, leisurely strolls, and plenty of sniff-filled walkies. Sharing our home is our lovely spayed female Golden Retriever, who absolutely adores other dogs. She's friendly, gentle, and always happy to make new friends—whether that's a game of chase in the garden or simply lounging together after a long walk. I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you trust, and I'll care for them as if they were one of my own. Whether they're staying for a day, a weekend, or a longer holiday, you can relax knowing they'll receive lots of love, attention, playtime, cuddles (if they enjoy them!), and updates so you can see what they've been getting up to. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! I work from home full-time, so caring for dogs fits naturally into my daily routine. My schedule already revolves around my own Golden Retriever, meaning your dog will always have company, attention, and plenty of opportunities for exercise and relaxation throughout the day. Our mornings start with breakfast (our Goldie would never let us forget it!), followed by a long walk through the beautiful nearby woods and countryside. If anyone comes home a little muddy after their adventure, they're more than welcome to enjoy a quick rinse before settling in. While I work, the dogs can relax wherever they're most comfortable, with free access to our spacious, secure garden whenever they fancy a sniff or a potter outside. I take regular breaks throughout the day for playtime, cuddles, toilet breaks, and, of course, the occasional well-earned treat! In the afternoon, we head out for another walk before winding down for the evening. Whether your dog loves exploring, playing, snoozing, or simply being close to people, they'll enjoy a relaxed, home-from-home environment with lots of love, attention, and companionship. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. We have a large, fully secure garden with high fencing, giving dogs plenty of space to run, play, explore, or simply relax in the fresh air whenever they like. I also make sure that any plants within their reach are dog-safe, so you can have complete peace of mind. Sharing our home is our friendly, spayed Golden Retriever, who absolutely loves the company of other dogs. Whether it's a game of zoomies around the garden, exploring together on walks, or curling up for a well-earned nap, she's always delighted to welcome a new furry friend. Inside, our home is spacious, calm, and relaxed, and dogs can settle in wherever they feel most comfortable. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or prefers a peaceful snooze after a walk, they'll have plenty of space to feel safe, loved, and right at home.
About: I’ve been around animals all my life, growing up with family pets - from frogs to dogs! When I left home and my family dog of 7 years, I knew I needed a furry companion, so along came Crumpet! My 2 year old Golden Retriever. Crumpet has been with me from being 12 weeks old so I am very familiar and confident with caring for young animals. My dog is my baby so I fully understand how much people love their pets—because I feel the same way about mine. My dog is truly part of my family, and that’s why I treat every pet I care for with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own I’m a full-time teacher who’s passionate about pets and available to care for yours during evenings, weekends, and school holidays. When I’m not in the classroom, I’m dedicated to giving your furry friends the love and attention they deserve When caring for someone else’s pet, I treat them as if they were my own—with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs and routines. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, walks, or quiet companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their family is away
About: My experience with dogs started when I was born. The family dog was one year old so I have grown up with dogs which installed a deep and meaningful bond with dogs. I have fostered many rescues from the UK and Romania, as well as adopting. I love all dogs and care for them as if they were my own and have owned and have experience with puppies, reactive dogs and seniors so have experience with a wide variety of different breeds and ages. I currently work part time from home, so will have plenty of time to play with your dogs, walk them and look after any of their needs from brushing to tear stains and feeding and/or medication. I will still be able to take your dog all day as I can work around their needs. I have a 6ft fenced garden and 3 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company if they want. Dogs have free roam of the house and garden and are welcome to sit on the sofas or beds, but am also able to provide crates/beds if needed for your pet. I am a short drive away from Marske beach and a wonderful wood so your dog will get a nice variety of walks twice a day depending on time spent at my home. Water bowls are placed in every room so they will have plenty of access to water at all times and will never be left more than 3 hours at a time if boarding overnight. At weekends our dogs are our passion so all days out are worked around dog friendly walks and cafes/pubs if needed. Your baby will also be able to enjoy weekend adventures if you would be happy for us to take them along.

About: I have been around dogs all my life, from big to small. I’ve looked after families dogs plenty of times, one which requires diabetic medication and care. In october 2024, I took on a dog that required extra care and attention due to anxiety and being abused as a pup. I work as a TA with flexible hours. Due to the nature of my job, I only work 1-3 days a week which means I can be readily available when needed. I have a large fenced garden with double doors that open onto it, and I am happy to leave the doors open for air flow and to allow the dog freedom of being inside or outside. I can crate if required.
About: Hello. I'm Dan, 34 years old and a lot of free time giving me the opportunity to help you and your pets. I'm an avid animal lover of all types and would welcome all invitations to walk, watch over and treat your best friends as mine too. I like to stay active, keeping a regular walking distance everyday and would happily welcome company on those walks. Whether that be short routes around the neighbourhood or a much longer trek in the hopes of tiring them out by the end of the day. I am a licenced first aider with lots of experience fostering dogs and cats in the past with severe medical conditions and other special requirements. In those situations I'm well trained to remain calm under pressure and skilled at assisting your pet in times of need.
About: I've grown up with dogs and have had my own as an adult for the past 12 years. I am dog mum to an 11 year old cocker spaniel and a 3 year old daxie - my pride and joy. I have experience with animals from as small as puppies to as large as horses. I am kind, caring, loving and patient. I will treat your babies just how I treat my own, like royalty. I am available for; home visits and comfort calls. dog walks (30 mins/1 hour) on week days dog walks (full day location walks on weekends) I live in a three bedroom semi detached house overlooking a nature reserve where there are plenty of lovely walks. I have a fenced garden and two lovely dogs to keep your fur baby company. We’re a dogs on the bed/sofa type household!
About: I am a full time professional dog walker which I have multiple dogs all different breeds and temperament's in my care on a daily basis I currently work part time so I have a lot of free time to look after your furry babies and give them the best possible care. I will look after your dogs in the comfort of their own home so they feel at ease. I will also give them lots and lots of cuddles :)
About: I have 14 years of experience caring for various pets, including dogs and cats. Skilled in managing feeding schedules, and providing exercise and companionship. Experienced with grooming and handling anxious pets with patience and care. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 1pm I have a fenced yard and a friendly cat to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dogs if needed more care
About: I have over a year of professional pet-sitting experience here on the rover app. I have also been a volunteer with the Blue Cross for a couple of years, helping to foster and rehabilitate stray cats. I absolutely love animals and caring for them is something I take great pride in. I am particularly well versed in looking after shy, senior and anxious pets - ensuring I take my time and build up trust is essential. I absolutely adore caring for pets and would love to share my passion with you. I work from home flexibly so I am available most days to care for your pets and to walk them / take them outdoors whenever they need. I live in a house with a gated garden and security is a priority for me. I am patient and caring with all furry friends, no matter their personality.
About: I’m experienced in handling large dogs (any size/breed welcome) and have a deep understanding of the needs and quirks of anxious and reactive dogs and the care and patience they require through my experience with my extremely nervous rescue German Shepherd who was in very bad mental and physical condition when I adopted him. Sadly, he passed at the end of 2024 after many happy years together. Personally, I found it extremely difficult to trust others to walk or care for him during our time together so I’d like to reassure those in a similar position that I can take care of their best friend when they need it and I’ll always be as careful, understanding and vigilant as I was with my own. My garden is secure with full, well-maintained fences and walls and a padlocked gate, I have blinds on all public facing windows which can be closed if dogs are triggered by people walking by. Everyone is welcome to supply any toys, beds or anything that makes your dog feel more comfortable and of course I will stick to their usual walking schedule and dietary requirements. I live directly next to a large park which is not typically very busy and offers numerous trails from the main paths to avoid others when caring for reactive dogs. I will never let anyone’s dog off the lead during a walk (unless I have booked a secure field) and always clip leads to a strong walking belt as extra security, walk in shaded areas on hot days and carry water at all times. I mainly work from home so when boarding and pet sitting your dog will be with me all day with regular opportunities to play, go in the garden and for walks in the morning, lunch time and evening. I’m available for walks morning, lunchtime and evenings during the week and all day Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. I only care for dogs from the same household on walks and in my home unless they are friends who have already spent time together. This is for the best possible wellbeing of each dog. I’d rather provide quality and complete confidence than take on as many dogs as possible as I believe in giving them the individual care and attention they deserve with as few stressful triggers as possible. I work from home so dogs will not be left unattended or outside for prolonged periods. I only endorse the use of positive reinforcement / reward-based training and treat all dogs with respect, understanding and care tailored to their specific needs. I’m happy to discuss your requirements, answer any questions and arrange a pre-stay meet and greet if required. I have also completed a certified DBS check through my employer. We do not have any children or pets of our own in our home.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was young, much like I have grown up with cats. Animals were a constant in my upbringing, as my family is very fond of animals. Whilst I don’t have dogs of my own due to my cat’s anxiety, I’m lucky enough to have many family and friends with dogs I love to look after when I can. I regularly pet sit my parents four dogs (two retrievers, two spaniels) who I grew up with since I was eight. They’re energetic, even the old 14 year old Timmy, and due to their countryside home we go on long walks regularly. I haven’t trained any dogs in a few years, as my parents dogs haven’t needed it in about eight years, though I’m more than happy to follow any routine set by yourself. I work from home as a comic artist/ illustrator so my routine is quite flexible. Hey, if I stay at yours you may even end up with a little doodle of your furry friend! I work from home as a comic artist/ illustrator so my routine is quite flexible. I tend to sleep quite late, so am happy to do drop-ins/ walks later in the evening, though early morning walks probably won’t happen before 9am. Due to my worn in also sat at home quite a lot, so I’m eager to do multiple visits a day, as it gives me a chance to take a break and do some exercise walking/ playing with you pet. I am available both weekdays and weekends. I do not offer boarding at my home fire to my own cat’s anxiety. However, I do live by three parks within a miles distance of each other, as well as my parents having a long countryside walking trail behind their home in Catterick, which is quiet and great for dog walks. I have quite a spacious car, so if you would like your dog to go for walks in the countryside, I’m happy to travel with them!
About: I have had many pets over the years. From a donkey, goats, chickens and of course dogs! I stumbled across offering care for other people's dogs by accident really, but it works really well. I care for our extended family and friends dogs in my home while they go away on holiday. I lost my gorgeous dog four years ago and miss him terribly. I decided this would be a great way to enjoy having the company of a dog again. My dog was a whippet so I know what a good walk looks like! I am are registered on trusted house sitters and have five star reviews from all my sits. I have no dogs myself so your dog would be the only dog to be cared for whilst with me. You can go away knowing your dog would be having a lovely holiday with me while you are having your own holiday. They fit in as my pet for the duration of their stay. If I stayed in your home you could rest assured I know how to look after a home. I have been married for over 40 years. I have an acre garden so grass cutting does not faze me either.
About: I have experience with everything from daily care routines and special dietary needs to administering medications. I’ll care for your pets with love and attention, just as if they were my own, and make sure they get plenty of engaging playtime. I work from home, so I’m available for drop-in visits/walks in the morning, at lunch, or in the afternoon/evening. I’m even more flexible with timing on weekends. Please don't hesitate in contacting me. I will treat your home with upmost respect, – I’m naturally clean and tidy! I’ll make sure to stay out of any rooms or areas you’d prefer to keep private. If needed, I’ll clean litter trays, sweep and tidy up any little messes, and keep food bowls clean. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos if you’d like. I live in a three-bedroom house, which has a decent garden that is high and has a secure gate. That can accommodate your pet. Currently, we have two cats at home now, Floki (4 years) and Moshi (3 years) so we (me and my fiancée ) can look after other cats or some small dogs that are cat-friendly.
About: I've taken care of and fed and played with and walked dogs my while life and I have had cats my whole life to and... I'm currently not working so I have plenty of time to work with cats or dogs or both for a very low price and a I have 2 dogs of my own so I would only be able to take care of dogs and cats in someone else's home or I could walk the dogs outside
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I provide dog walking, puppy visits, and cat care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I understand how important routine, patience, and consistency are — especially for puppies, nervous pets, or those needing a little extra care. I’m also trained in canine first aid and CPR, giving you added peace of mind while your pet is in my care. I’m fully insured, DBS checked, and committed to providing a reliable and professional service. I have a flexible schedule as I run my own pet service business alongside a 0-hour theatre contract, which allows me to manage my time and prioritise pet care bookings. This means I can often accommodate a range of visit times throughout the day. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine, and I plan my schedule carefully to ensure each pet receives reliable, consistent care. I also have my own pets, so I understand the importance of balancing time and making sure every animal gets the attention they need. I’m happy to discuss specific timings and requirements to find what works best for you and your pet. All pet sitting takes place in your home, so your pet can stay in a familiar, comfortable environment and stick to their usual routine. This is especially important for both cats and dogs, helping to reduce stress and keep them settled while you’re away. I take the time to follow your pet’s individual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions. Whether it’s a relaxed walk for your dog or a calm, quiet visit for your cat, everything is tailored to suit their needs and personality. As a lifelong cat owner and experienced pet carer, I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet and entering your home. I’m fully insured, DBS checked, and always respectful of your space. Regular updates and photos can be provided so you can feel reassured and connected while you’re away.
About: I've looked after my sister's large dog since she was a puppy, fed her and took her out for walks and minded her when my sister went away. I love when my friends bring their dogs when we go for walks so I can give them lots of attention and cuddles. When out in public I always stroke dogs with permission and talk to them Currently I have more free time than usual and I am available during the week and weekend for hourly/ daily visits and for overnight stays. I live in Hartlepool so I'd be willing to do drop in visits and walks for anyone living within 10 miles of me and I would stay in your home up to 35-40 miles away from where I live. But please ask as I might be able to make exceptions I can do walks/stays after 17:30 in the teesside area and potentially could do a drop in visit during the day depending on where you live I'd care for the pets in the owners home and follow the instructions they gave me about keeping their pets safe, hopefully this would make life easier for the owner
About: We brought home our first puppy when I was 10, ever since I have looked after and cared for animals personally and professionally. From small furies to horses, I love all animals and will look after yours like they’re my own! At the moment pet care is my full time role, I love animals and this is a dream of mine. I will make sure your fluffers are looked after to the highest standard. I will be looking after your pet in your own home and will always follow your house rules whatever they might be. Please let me know if you have any special requests, I will try to accommodate as much as possible.

“Oak and Dakota had a lovely stay with Michael. He stuck to their routine, gave them plenty of walks and affection during the day and while they seemed happy to see us they both wanted to stay as well. Would happily book again next time we need a sitter for them both. Thanks again”
About: I have grown up with a household full all animals ranging from insects, rodents, cats and dogs. I have looked after and walked dogs since I was 15, and have owned dogs for the last 13 years. I have always had a passion for animals and hold an honors degree in animal behaviour. I have always rescued dogs (greyhounds) and take on the older ones with behavioural or health challenges. I have a lot of experience with older dogs and dogs that come with additional care requirements. I have completed dog first aid, cared for dogs with severe injuries and health issues ranging from dog attacks to advanced cancers, organ failure and spinal issues. I am very experienced in administering medications for unwell animals and a dab hand with vet-wrap for those clumsier pups (side effect of owning sighthounds). I work full time, however I will be taking your dogs into work with me where it is a dog friendly environment. They will receive 24hr care. There are fields and woodlands nearby for walks. I will tailor my care for you pets. I have a good size house with a fully fenced garden. The fence is 6ft so they will be secure. Your pets will be able to roam free, however I do have a crate for any animals that prefer to sleep in them or younger ones that might need time outs to continue crate training.
“Jennifer is lovely! Highly recommend! I booked the wrong night & she responded immediately upon me realising my mistake (right before I was about to drop him off!) saying not to worry & she’d be able to have my dog Teddy on the day/ night I needed. She sent lots of pics & updates, and I collected a very happy pup! Thank you!”
“Initial contact was great. She visited us first with 1 dog then we visited her house and dogs met each other. She was very caring and sensitive to Millie’s needs who is quite highly strung. She came back very happy and relaxed. Emily communicated well with us keeping us informed. Would recommend and will be using her again.”
“Zoe was fabulous with Kobi who settled very well. We were provided with loads of photos & videos. It looks like Kobi had a great break, as much as we did. We will be booking with Zoe again. A BIG Thank You from all of us”

“We left Jasper with this lovely family for two weeks, and I'll admit we were a little nervous beforehand as we haven't had the best experiences in the past. We really didn't need to worry though! They made us feel completely at ease from the very start. We met up beforehand, which was so reassuring, and their communication through the Rover app was fantastic throughout. Over the two weeks we received lots of photos and regular updates, and nothing ever seemed to be too much trouble. It was clear that Jasper wasn't just being looked after – he was treated like part of the family, which meant the world to us. We came home to a very happy, relaxed dog, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with them again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Jasper!”
“Bobby has had an amazing time, lots of really long walks, playing in the fields and then having his own window seat to watch the world go by. Jane kept me up to date with plenty of videos and photos.”
“George loved his two night stay with Bethany and her spaniel Molly ☺️. It was the first time we had to leave George with someone as we were getting married and Bethany was so welcoming of George and took great care of him. She sent us plenty of photos and updates which was great! We would definitely recommend her to everyone and would definitely book again when needed.”
“Batman had a lovely stay with Jack, Abby and Callie! They had great communication and always sent me photos/videos of Bats enjoying his time with them. He was pretty comfortable right away and got along with Callie quickly. Would recommend and will be reaching out to Jack again!”
“Samantha was great with Nugget. From the first meeting I could tell he would be OK with her. When I went to pick him up, it looked like he didn't want to leave. Samantha is the best if you need a weekend away. Will definitely be asking her again, if we need another weekend away”
