Georgia looked after our cockapoo puppy, Milo, for two days and we couldn't have asked for anyone better! It was the first time we'd ever left him, and she couldn't have made us feel more at ease. She kept us updated throughout with pictures, which was so reassuring, and it was clear Milo had the best time with Otis and Barney – it was like a little holiday for him! Georgia is so kind and caring, and we'll definitely be booking with her again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we met, we knew Nemo was in loving and capable hands. We got regular updates, adorable photos, and total peace of mind while we were away. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’re so grateful and will absolutely book again. Highly recommend!

Csilla is absolutely wonderful. She is very experienced and has a calm energy which any dog would respond well to. My anxious (rescue) Chihuahua was instantly comfortable at the meet and greet and came home from his overnight stay happy and relaxed. I’m delighted and my dog is already looking forward to a week’s holiday with Csilla.

Really attentive to Jax's needs and quirks. Very informative about their processes which made a 1st time user alot happier. Jax had a fantastic time and the photos sent to us meant the kids didn't feel like they were missing him which was a HUGE bonus. Thank you so much and we will definitely use again.

I can’t even express how wonderful this lady is, she took the time to reassure me on leaving my fur baby in her care and she did not disappoint. Lovely photos or cuddles and playing outside. 10/10 for me and can’t wait to have more weekends away with no stress with my little puppy 🥰🥰

About: Ever since my fur baby passed away last year I’ve so missed having a dog around. I love all breeds of dogs, having owned German Shepherds and previously been boarding a Cane Corso, large breeds are welcome here❤️ I work full time, however my early mornings (before 7.15am) or my evenings after 4pm are always free. I typically have a Monday off of work and free all day then, I can board dogs Sunday (after work), overnight and all day Monday. I will have more flexibility in June - being able to board for days/weeks at a time. I have an enclosed front and back garden, with the back garden having high fences, I have back patio doors to allow the dog to come freely in and out of the house. Your pet can treat my home like their home, I want them to feel comfortable with me and enjoy their time here. Whether that be snuggled up together on the sofa or giving them their own space wherever they prefer.

Charlotte was absolutely amazing with Max, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She took the time to arrange pre-visits to make sure she was the right fit for him, which meant so much to me as I was quite nervous about leaving him with someone we didn’t know while I was in London. While Max was in her care, Charlotte sent lots of messages and photos, constantly reassuring me that he was happy, comfortable, and very well looked after. It gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I could tell Max was genuinely cared for, not just looked after. We will 100% be using Charlotte again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and attentive dog sitter. Thank you again ☺️ xx

About: Hello all :) I have had years of experience with cats. Ranging from my own in the past, to those of friends and family. I am always the person that people can rely on to look after their "fur babies". I have no allergies and I can drive. I am fairly flexible. As mentioned in my profile I do work full time but I get a decent amount of annual leave so typically around 1 week of the month I have off work and can dedicate this time to pet sitting. My experience with cats in a bit more detail: When I was younger I had my own 3 cats. 2 girls (Missy and Zelda) and 1 boy (Simba). Both the girls got pregnant a few times each and so I have experience with newborn kittens, right the way up to a cat aged over 12 years old! My mothers cat is one of the litter of kittens that my cats had. I regularly drop in on her to feed her or help my stepdad change her litter tray. She loves nothing more than sitting on my lap and clicking my jeans/leggings with her little "biscuits" and purring away. In May 2026 I looked after a lovely ginger male indoor cat called Max - this was for my friend whos co-worker went on holiday and my friend had originally agreed to look after Max but she has accidently double booked herself with looking after her brothers dog. So Max came to live with me for the week in my own home. It was so lovely seeing him come out of his shell and being comfortable enough to sit on my lap and let me pet him. In June 2026 I stayed at another friends house for the week and looked after Bobby - a male cat who goes outdoors, whilst his owners went on holiday. Bobby is a very skittish cat but I met him a week or so prior to my friend going away on holiday. Whilst I stayed at his home, he slowly got used to me being there and even started rubbing against me and accepting treats by hand. I have countless times also looked after my sisters cats as well as other friends and family throughout the years. All of this makes me feel very confident that your cats would be in good hands with me. I am patient, loving and calm.

About: I have experience caring for cats both personally and professionally. Growing up, I always had cats in the family, so I understand their different personalities and needs, from playful and affectionate to shy or anxious cats. I also currently work as a night veterinary assistant, where I regularly care for cats of all ages and temperaments. This has given me hands-on experience in handling cats calmly and safely while making sure they feel comfortable and stress-free. I understand that cats need patience, routine, and a calm environment, and I will always treat your cat as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for during their stay.

I recently hired Charlotte to care for my two cats, Bonnie and Clyde, while I was away on a week-long trip. From the initial consultation to the final visit, Charlotte was professional, reliable, and showed a genuine love for animals. The cats clearly adored Charlotte, and I received regular updates and photos and videos, which put my mind at ease while I was away. The house was also spotless when I returned, which was a lovely bonus. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Charlotte to anyone seeking top-notch care for their beloved pets.

About: What sets me apart is availability and consistency. I work from home full-time, so dogs are never left alone and always have consistent supervision and company. I live in a calm, spacious two-bedroom house that’s ideal for in-home boarding. I’ve looked after dogs for several years through social platforms as well as for friends and family, and I’m comfortable following different routines and needs. I enjoy regular walks and providing attentive, reliable care. I’m especially well suited to puppies who need structure and senior dogs who benefit from a quieter, closely monitored environment. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m always available for supervision, regular walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Dogs are never left alone for long periods and are part of my day rather than worked around. I provide a safe and clean home environment where dogs are well attended. Because I work from home, pets are never left unattended and their routines are followed carefully. My home is well suited for boarding, with plenty of space for dogs to settle comfortably, and I make sure walks, feeding, and rest are structured and consistent. I always prioritise a dog’s comfort, safety, and wellbeing while they’re in my care.

About: At my dog sitting service, I am proud to providing top-notch care for dogs with a personal touch. For example: puppy and senior care, video calls with the owner, daily reports about how we spent the day, online tracker ( walking routes, location) with a 24/7 acces via app, home made cooked healthy meals (optional). I'm mainly at home all day, but I have cctv access with a speaker option if I need to go out. I never leave a dog at home alone who is with me for the first time and I am not sure what to expect from them exactly. I have a fully closed rear garden and a friendly tiny dog, Bobby (11, Shi-tzu mix :). Dogs can use sofas, beds if they are allowed at their home as well. I only use crate at a special request of the owner. Dog walks are only on-leash.

About: I am QLS Level 3 Animal Care, Pet First Aid & Pet CPR qualified, and carry a pet first aid kit with me at all times.   I am a passionate animal lover; I volunteered for Sheffield Retired Greyhound Trust until I moved to the North East in 2024, spending my Saturday mornings caring for and walking rescue greyhounds. I grew up with two of my own dogs. I have been providing dog walking services since 2017, and daycare and boarding since 2019, meaning I have over 15 years of experience taking care of dogs. 🐶   I have a calm and quiet home, and can provide enrichment and plenty of attention, especially if your dog loves a sofa cuddle! I pride myself in being reliable and communicative, so you know your dog is in the best hands. I live near Rainton Meadows Nature Reserve, and hold a Durham Wildlife Trust membership to walk dogs in a variety of different places so they don't get bored. 🌳   I organise a pre-meet before all boarding bookings to check that you and your dog feel comfortable with me, my partner Cal, and our home, to make sure we're a good fit for your dog and vice versa. We don't have any of our own pets, and I only care for one family's pets at a time, to ensure I can provide the best one to one love and care; a real home away from home. 🥰    When your dog is in my care, I treat them as if they were my own. I will provide you with regular photo 'pupdates' on how they are and what they're getting up to. 🐾 I work from home, so I can offer boarding and daycare for dogs and small furries (separately, or together if from the same famiy). I can only cater for dogs with separation anxiety for daycare, but not for boarding. I live in a calm and quiet detached house with a decent sized fenced-in garden, with my partner Cal. We don’t have any of our own pets, and I only care for one family’s pets at a time, to ensure I can provide the best one to one love and care.

My spaniel Winnie can be a little shy when she first meets new people, but she loved Charlotte from the moment she met her! She’s always so excited to visit and runs straight out of the car and up to Charlotte’s front door which is such a great sign. I trust Charlotte with Winnie and she’s very reliable too so I would highly recommend.

Very welcoming to me and Pansy. I could see she felt at home and was happy to leave her. Good communication between me and the sitters. I would definitely ask them to have Pansy again.

About: I have been pet sitting for almost 2 years and it has been something I fall in love with every day. I care with all the love and affection and meet each pet’s needs. I have plenty of time with your puppies. I’m just managing my kids school time which takes about 30 minutes for dropping them off and pick them up but if you dog can’t be left alone I can definitely take it with me without any problem. I have a fenced big garden so your puppy will be very safe here with a big place to play. They are allowed to go to my bed if they feel safer in that way.

Marley had the best time with Sophie today. Sophie sent us lots of updates and photos of Marley throughout the day to let us know how he had settled. Marley is such a high energy dog but Sophie was brilliant with him and meeting his needs. Her communication is brilliant and is very responsive to messages. Marley also loved meeting and playing with his new doggy friend Riley. We would happily use Sophie again for dog sitting in the future. Thank you!

About: Experienced dog‑lover returning to Rover after some time away. I previously cared for a Spaniel of my own and have years of hands‑on experience with energetic, affectionate breeds. I offer a calm home, long walks, enrichment, and plenty of attention. I’m reliable, communicative and always send regular updates so you know exactly how your dog is doing. Pet First Aid trained and confident with a range of temperaments — your dog will be in safe, caring hands. I'm really lucky to work hybrid and flexibility 90% of my week. I am more than happy to work with parents to ensure that any alone time is minimal and that their dog has the best stay possible. I do have a small campervan which I like to take to the Lakes should owners want their pup to join me on Wainwright adventures and long walks out. I'm are quite happy for visiting pups to sleep wherever they like but will always follow the instructions of their parents! I’d like to think that you are getting a quality service where your dog is treated as my own and will be taken on quality nature walks whilst in my care.

About: Hi, I’m a qualified and experienced animal carer based in Sunderland, offering reliable dog walking, pet sitting, and home-based care services. I hold Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications in Animal Care, along with a Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Diploma, giving me a strong foundation in both practical handling and animal welfare. Alongside my qualifications, I’ve completed two years of hands-on experience working on a farm with a wide variety of animals, which helped me develop confidence, patience, and a deep understanding of animal behaviour in real-world situations. I currently work in a doggy daycare, where I care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments on a daily basis. This includes high-energy dogs, nervous dogs, and dogs with different social needs, so I’m very comfortable adapting my care style to suit each individual dog. My focus is always on maintaining your pet's normal routine as much as possible, reducing stress and helping them feel secure while you’re away.Every pet is treated with patience, care, and respect, as if they were my own. I understand how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet with someone new, so I provide regular updates, messages, and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.My goal is simple: to provide safe, reliable, and genuinely caring pet services that owners can trust and pets can enjoy. I aim to build long-term relationships with both pets and owners, offering consistency, routine, and high-quality care every time. I am still unemployed and looking for a job so i am free anytime of the day or night whenever i am needed i will be available. I will be pet sitting in other people's homes so if needed i can crate your dog or follow a routine whichever works best for the pet i can follow it

I’ve grown a love for pets and now feel I can easily grow a bond with almost any animal. This job grants me that opportunity and I can’t wait to meet you and your pets and take great care of them! I absolutely love animals and photographing them in my free time so we can keep regular updates to ensure they are at ease.

Georgia looked after our cockapoo puppy, Milo, for two days and we couldn't have asked for anyone better! It was the first time we'd ever left him, and she couldn't have made us feel more at ease. She kept us updated throughout with pictures, which was so reassuring, and it was clear Milo had the best time with Otis and Barney – it was like a little holiday for him! Georgia is so kind and caring, and we'll definitely be booking with her again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!

About: Ever since my fur baby passed away last year I’ve so missed having a dog around. I love all breeds of dogs, having owned German Shepherds and previously been boarding a Cane Corso, large breeds are welcome here❤️ I work full time, however my early mornings (before 7.15am) or my evenings after 4pm are always free. I typically have a Monday off of work and free all day then, I can board dogs Sunday (after work), overnight and all day Monday. I will have more flexibility in June - being able to board for days/weeks at a time. I have an enclosed front and back garden, with the back garden having high fences, I have back patio doors to allow the dog to come freely in and out of the house. Your pet can treat my home like their home, I want them to feel comfortable with me and enjoy their time here. Whether that be snuggled up together on the sofa or giving them their own space wherever they prefer.
