“George was brilliant! He was able to accommodate me at short notice, for which I was very grateful. Polo had a lovely time with him and George took some great photos to show what they got up to 😊”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and grew up with both dogs and cats. My childhood dog lived to the amazing age of 19 and was a huge part of our family, which taught me the importance of patience, care and understanding animals’ individual needs. Although we don’t currently have pets of our own, I regularly care for dogs and cats for friends and family and love having animals around. I’ve also done obedience training and even dog dancing with one of my previous dogs, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines and energy levels. I live with my partner, Tom, in a quiet, welcoming home with a secure garden and plenty of space for pets to feel relaxed and at home. As I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can provide lots of attention, companionship, walks, playtime and cuddles throughout the day. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I will always care for them as if they were my own. I can adapt to your dog’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. I work from home and can be quite flexible with my work. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they have a safe, calm and comfortable environment where they feel part of the family. We have a secure garden for supervised outdoor time, and dogs will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime and walks throughout the day. I always follow owners’ routines and preferences to help pets feel settled and at home.

About: I’ve owned both cats and dogs growing up, and have completed a veterinary degree so am very comfortable to look after all animals no matter their needs. I have a break from university before I start my job in Autumn, so fitting an animal into my schedule would be extremely easy and I would b le able to give them my full attention. I have a fenced garden and secure house, and am able to provide any needs for your animals that you would want, and would also want to get to know what boundaries you like to set with your dog so that I can follow them at all times.

About: Available for Bristol and beyond. I'm a reliable professional you can trust in your home, with experience caring for dogs, cats, other pets. I have stayed for over 2 weeks at a time or just for the day. From labs, to french bulldogs to collies I have experience with most dogs and incorporate walks and house sitting into my day. Your summer holiday sorted with me! I house sit and look after your pets while you're away. I currently work from home on my laptop Monday to Friday so it suits my schedule to have pets with me. I work remotely so can sit in your home or mine. I go for walks and love to stay active in the mornings, at lunch and in the evenings. At my house I have a lovely garden which is fenced/ walled and a gate which makes it enclosed. My house is near fields and a woods which are perfect for walks.

“Kirsten is amazing with our 7 month old whippet pup, Bao. She takes him for lovely walks and sends us lots of updates which we really appreciate. Bao loves her and we couldn't be happier with Kirsten regularly coming back to drop in and walk him.”

“Christine was so lovely to me and Ted, I felt that conversation came super easy and naturally. I was kept updated and everything was logged perfectly. I believe she was the perfect match for Ted as he can be a little difficult- he looked so happy ☺️. I will 100% recommend Christine and will be booking again 🫶”

About: Hellooo I’m Phoebe, I’m a qualified veterinary surgeon and starting a new role which means I’ll have some days off during the week and weekend. I grew up at a child minders who also had a pet sitting service, so from a young age have looked after anything from hamsters and tortoises to large-breed dogs. I have my own dog and tortoise who I adore! As a vet, I’m comfortable with giving medications at home and following your pet’s routine as closely as possible! I have an attention to detail and am more than happy to give you regular updates and photos. I’ve been working as a vet now for 2 years and starting a new role this summer! I have my own tortoise and dog who I adore. In my new role at work my shifts are constantly changing, which means available dates are not regular. But we can have a chat about what you and your pet need and work out a plan from there! On weekdays I can possibly do drop ins before and after work for cats, so just drop me a message to check dates that aren’t available on my calendar. I believe all pets are different in terms of what they need when their pet parents are away or busy. Sometimes this is a change of environment and other times it’s home stays. Unfortunately since I am in rented accommodation I cannot provide overnight stays, but I can walk dogs and do drop ins for a variety of pets. I can also house sit during the day. Due to my own pet responsibilities, overnight house sitting is not ideal.

About: Hello! My name is Olivia, and I’m a 24-year-old final year postgraduate vet student. I grew up just outside Arbroath, a small fishing village in the north of Scotland, surrounded by animals - from dogs and chickens to two farm kittens we rescued from a barn. I have lots of experience caring for a wide range of animals, both at home and abroad. This includes volunteering at a rescue centre in Costa Rica and on a game reserve in South Africa. Closer to home, I’ve regularly looked after pets for family and friends. (Full disclosure: I now stick to care rather than grooming after a childhood attempt at trimming my uncle’s spaniel’s ears left her with a very lopsided haircut!) Alongside my studies, I also work as a lifeguard, which has strengthened my ability to stay calm in emergencies and prioritise safety at all times. When visiting my family, I care for our very needy Vizsla, Scout, and our more independent and aloof rescue cat, Lunar. Through my veterinary training, I’ve also gained hands-on experience caring for animals with a variety of medical needs, including those who are unwell or require extra attention. I'm very active and enjoy running and long walks, so I’m always happy to take energetic dogs out for adventures. Equally, I enjoy quieter days painting and can provide a calm, relaxed environment for more anxious pets. I’m currently available for dog walking and pet sitting between my clinical rotations. I’m also confident administering medications, including injections, if required. I’m currently in my final year of vet school, so during breaks between rotation blocks I can dedicate my time fully to your pet. My schedule can vary, which means I’m often able to offer flexible, ad hoc bookings, including short-notice requests where availability allows. I’m very outdoorsy and enjoy running, so I’m always happy to take high-energy dogs out for longer walks or runs. I’m also happy to work around your pet’s usual routine, whether that’s early mornings, evenings, or specific feeding and medication schedules. I can provide regular updates for peace of mind while you’re away. I currently offer pet care in your home and dog walking, as I’m unable to host pets in my own home. I find that staying in a pet’s familiar environment often helps them feel more relaxed and settled while you’re away. As a final-year veterinary student, your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. I’m confident recognising signs of illness or distress and can act quickly if anything seems off. I’m also experienced in administering medications, including injections, where needed. I take care to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, exercise, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m respectful of your home and will always leave it clean and secure. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you can feel reassured that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: Training to be a Vet which means I have looked after animals of all kinds. I have had two dogs of my own, and looked after many of my friend's and family's dogs. Currently free most days. I do split my time in two places in the country so I won't always be local. Will be willing to look after dogs overnight once I have got to know them from walking. We have an enclosed garden, but it is not technically fenced in. If the owner deems appropriate for me to let the dog in the garden lead or no lead I will stay with the dog. I normally would walk my family dog three times a day, but I am willing to do more/less walks to fit the dog's usual routine. I would love to play with the dog and their toys. If the dog is stating overnight please could we bring their dog bed with them.

About: I have experience taking care of dogs that vary in size, from a King Charles cavalier to a bull terrier! Over the last 2 years I have gained experience dog sitting and dog walking! I’m currently a student at Weston college and study in Mondays and Tuesdays, and I have a part time job at a garden centre on Sundays! I have availability Wednesday-Saturday! In a pet owner’s home I would make sure their animal is comfortable and provided with stimulation! If I am dog walking I would not let the dog off lead unless given permission.

About: ✅Enhanced DBS Accomplished dog carer looking for more 4 legged friends! I am a genuine animal lover… I have had four large dogs within my family which I still occasionally care for. In recent years I have house sat and walked a range of dogs from small to larger breeds. I have a good amount of experience with nervous and anxious dogs and I have worked with five rescues personally on a regular basis. I am particularly experienced with sighthounds, cockapoos, and chihuahuas. I have a general passion for animals and enjoy working and donating to a range of charities. I would treat any dog or cat like its my own with plenty of love and attention to give. I am happy to meet the requirements no matter how big or small to give you and your pet what they need. I am self employed so therefore I can be flexible with my schedule. My partner is normally on hand to help if required and give extra attention to any pets under my care. I can offer sitting at my home with a large secure garden. I can offer local walks to your dog but I also enjoy the outdoors and can offer a change of scenery if suitable. I am also available to pet sit at your home if your pet is more comfortable in their own environment and I would treat your home with the upmost respect.

As a dedicated veterinary medicine student, I balance my studies alongside work at a referral centre while keeping my schedule as flexible as possible for the pets I care for. Pet care is a huge part of my daily routine, and starting Rose Pet Care has allowed me to combine my passion for animal welfare with hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I prioritise providing every pet with personalised attention, enrichment, exercise, and companionship during my available hours, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Balancing veterinary studies, clinical experience, and pet sitting has helped me develop strong time management skills, reliability, and a deeper understanding of animal health and behaviour. When caring for pets in their homes, my top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment. I start by thoroughly discussing each pet's routine, preferences, and any specific needs to ensure a smooth transition. I maintain a clean and secure space, keeping hazards out of reach and adhering to any house rules provided by the owner. During my visits, I engage pets in their favorite activities, providing companionship and attention while sticking to their established routines. My experience as a veterinary medicine student also equips me to recognize any health concerns and respond appropriately, ensuring peace of mind for pet owners. Building trust with both pets and their owners is essential, and I always communicate regularly through updates and photos, making sure everyone feels connected and cared for while they’re away.

“Danielle has a warm and calm nature which helped to put my dog at ease on his first meeting with her. She also tailored her service to accommodate me & my dog which was really important. She gave a detailed update of his walk accompanied with her route and pictures during their walk, which was a lovely surprise to receive whilst I was at work and put my mind at ease. I will be booking Danielle for regular walks and would highly recommend her service.”
