“Kwan and family looked after my dog Sue for a week. I have nothing but positive things to say and would 100% recommend, she cared and treated Sue like her own and having regular photo updates while I was away was great! ☺️ 🐶 x”
“A true home from home is how we found our experience at Richard’s house. He welcomed our 11 month old puppy. She did have some separation problems at first but Richard has a calming voice . He went overboard to organise some exercises to enrich and strengthen lily ‘s bond with his own delightful dogs.”
“Amanda was absolutely amazing with Coco! Coco can be quite anxious, so I was a little worried about leaving him, but Amanda did such an incredible job of making him feel comfortable and settled. He ended up settling in so well, which honestly made me so happy! She kept me constantly updated with lovely photos and messages, and her communication was brilliant throughout. Amanda and her partner were both so lovely and clearly gave Coco so much care and attention. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would 100% recommend Amanda. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🥰🐶❤️”
“Absolutely can't fault Karen and Trevor, they provided outstanding care for Kallie. At the meet and greet Kallie warmed to them right away, which was a major positive, as she can be wary when meetingnew people. They provided detailed updates with photos, ensuring we felt at ease, and Kallie was so obviously happy with them. I highly recommend Karen and Trevor for anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely bring Kallie back, availability permitting, thank you so much.”
“Fantastic experience, this was my first time leaving my fur baby with anyone outside of family, I was extremely nervous. However Angela turned out to be the best choice for Miko, she kept me up to date daily - at my request, she sent pics and video’s of Miko throughout the week with his daily walks and adventures- He had a great time and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. 5*+”
“Kate was fast to reply to my messages and to answer my questions, and she was kind enough to let Peppa visit before I made a booking. I was a bit apprehensive at how Peppa would settle with a new sitter given she has separation anxiety, but upon arrival it was obvious that she immediately felt at home. Kate kept me updated throughout with pics and messages letting me know how everything was going. Couldn't have asked for more. Thanks very much, Peppa can't wait to come back!”
“Amy was amazing with Mocha, he’s quite anxious with new people but she made him (& me) feel at ease. She took him on lots of walks and sent me loads of updates. Thank you Amy!”
“This is the first time we have used Claudia with no initial meet & greet due to logistical issues. However, both Benji and Maisie quickly settled, enjoying a jolly good sniff & mooch of Claudia’s secure rear garden. Claudia kept us fully updated with photos, videos and messages via the Rover App. Will definitely use Vlaudia again.”
“Cooper absolutely loved his stay with Remy and Alan, and was treated like part of the family whilst he was there. I wouldn’t hesitate in leaving him with them again when we go on holiday, thank you for taking such good care of him and providing us with lots of updates and photos!”
“Words cannot express how wonderful Camila is. Her kindness, flexibility, communication and professionalism is unmatched. We booked extremely last minute and as stressed as we were, Camila's energy instantly put us at ease! Camila provided daily updates along with photos and videos of the adventures. Our hearts melted as we saw a beautiful relationship unfold between Camila’s daughter and Browns. They showed nothing but kindness, gentleness and authenticity. There is no denying the love they have for animals. I would highly recommend and will continue to use in the future :)”
“Nicola and Rebecca were absolutely great hosts for our little Lenny. He is only a pup so we were very nervous about leaving him for the first time. They kept in constant contact with photos and updates which kept our mind at ease and showed us how much fun Lenny was having but importantly how well looked after he was. Thanks again Nicola and Rebecca, Lenny had a great time.”
“This is the 2nd time our dog has stayed with Janet & Kevan. We receive regular updates including pictures which puts our mind at ease. He has settled really well both times & we are reassured that he his treated very well. We love that it's a home from home & he is allowed to do the things he does at home. We have also received lovely, positive feedback about how our dog has behaved & his personality. He has got on very well with other dogs he has boarded with too. We won't hesitate to recommend Janet & Kevan and will continue to use them. It makes going away and leaving him that little bit easier, knowing he is being taken such great care of,”
“I cannot recommend Alex highly enough. He is always quick to answer messages and sent lots of updates and pictures of our 2 whippets when he looked after them. Most importantly he seems like a genuinely nice guy who obviously looked after our dogs really well and I will be booking him again.”
“Our first time leaving our Labrador Bruno with Michelle for 1 week..she made us feel very relaxed and confident leaving Bruno.. he has come back happy..thank you! Highly recommend xx”
About: I have a genuine passion for dogs and providing them with the care, attention, and compassion they deserve. As a physiotherapist, I bring a strong understanding of wellbeing, patience, and attentive care into everything I do displays qualities that naturally extend to looking after animals. I’m also planning to further my studies in animal physiotherapy, which reflects my long term commitment to working closely with and supporting animals. I regularly look after dogs for friends and family, so I’m confident handling different personalities and needs. I enjoy keeping fit and active, which means I’m always happy to provide walks, playtime, and plenty of engagement to keep dogs happy and healthy. I work from home, giving me a high level of flexibility throughout the day to provide consistent care and attention. I’m able to use my days off during the week as well as weekends to offer reliable and dedicated services. I take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pet very seriously and always aim to create a safe, loving, and enriching environment for them. I am currently working flexi - work from home as a consultant physiotherapist this in turn gives me plenty of time throughout the week/weekend to give your pet my undivided attention. I live in a secure top floor flat with plenty of out door space close by. No other animals live at the property so if your pet is quite shy or does not get on with others this will be no problem at all. I will be able to provide plenty outdoor time, regular checks and unlimited cuddles (If that’s what they like).

“Louise was an absolute star when she was looking after my fluffy princess. Took great care of her and followed my slightly strange and obsessive instructions to the letter. She also gave me detailed daily updates along with lovely photos to keep me sane while I was away. I came back to a happy and well-cared for cat. I'll definitely be using her again. Highly recommended.”
“Vickie did an amazing job at making Snowflake feel comfortable with her at our initial meeting. Vickie sent me some updates while I was away which helped with my anxiety about leaving her. When I returned home I found a very content cat so I felt very happy about the experience. ”
About: I have 4 cats of my own, so I have lots of daily experience caring for them. I always choose the best quality food, keep everything clean, play with them and give them all the love they need. I also look after friends’ and neighbours’ cats when they are on holiday — visiting up to 3 times a day to feed them, clean their litter, play and cuddle them. Every cat is a special soul to me, and I care for them with all my heart, just like my own.
“Hana has been amazing as always! We love getting the updates each day that always make us laugh whilst on holiday. Know our little fur baby is always well looked after gives us peace of mind. We will forever use Hana. Thank you again ❤️”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Care, Beyond Expectations We are truly grateful to Bethany for the outstanding care she provided for our cats during wr absence. She did everything perfectly & treated our boys with genuine love, patience, & responsibility. What makes her truly exceptional is that despite going through very difficult circumstances herself — including severe pain in her ankle due to reflex issues that required a hospital visit — she still came back to our home after the hospital to care for our cats so that she would not let us down as she Promised us. This level of dedication, honesty, & compassion is extremely rare in this time. Bethany is an amazing & wonderful person. Our respect & appreciation for her have grown immensely. She never abandoned us, even while she was suffering in pain. She is one of the most genuine, kind-hearted, & trustworthy people we have ever met. Words like “thank you” are simply not enough to express our gratitude. She deserves the highest level of respect & trust, we Highly recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for someone who truly cares — not just about cats , but about keeping doing as what she promises no matter the circumstances. Thank you once again. You are truly remarkable. God Bless you. ❤️”
About: Hello! I've been a cat owner for 20+ years and enjoy getting to know them and their personalities and quirks. I know they might need some time to feel comfortable, and that's fine! I let them come to me when they are ready. Before I had my own cats, I cared for family members pets whilst they've been away and really enjoyed the experience. I've also had fish that I've cared for; bettas, goldfish, neon tetras and shrimp. I have cared for my cats since they were kittens and into their senior years. I currently have two cats, Rumi and Tinky. Rumi is a cheeky chappy and Tinky is the queen of the house. Having been a cat owner for such a long time, I know how stressful it can be to leave them when I am away. It's stressful for cats if they have to leave their own space and go elsewhere which is why I've decided to support local cat owners keep their kitties happy and comfortable in their own homes whilst they are away. At visits, as well as feeding, playing and caring for your cat, I'm happy to feed fish, water plants, put the wheelie bin out for collection day and take it back in as needed. I will respect your property, take shoes off before entering the home if you prefer this. I am fully insured and DBS checked.
“Emilia was really easy to communicate with and extremely kind and pleasant to deal with. She took great care of my cat Alan while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone”
“Alex was fantastic, she took excellent care of our cat, Millie, whilst we were away on holiday. Millie clearly took to Alex too as she's usually a bit fussy but gave Alex lots of cuddles and play time.”
About: I've had all animals in my life from when I was 3 or 4 years old. I had two cats growing up, Alfie & Ella & they have both sadly passed away, so would love to spend time looking after & caring for other peoples little fluffs. I look after my two best friends house cats every few months for long periods, & they're a complete joy. Happy to chill indoors with house cats, & be there to drop in for the more independent ones. I love yoga, walking, meditation & generally live a healthy lifestyle. I work remotely so can be available most days.
“Andreea was absolutely wonderful with our two boys! She was extremely reliable, attentive, and kept us updated with photos and notes throughout the stay. It gave us total peace of mind knowing our cats was in her hands. We will definitely be booking with Andreea again and cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“Eleanor was an excellent choice. My cat was well looked after. I was provided with regular feedback and photos. Wouldn't hesitate to use again and to recommend to others. Eleanor is an obvious and cring animal lover.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Amazing – We Couldn’t Have Asked for Better! We honestly cannot thank Liz enough for looking after our little Kiki over the past few days. From the moment we left her, we felt completely reassured that she was in the safest and most caring hands. Liz was absolutely wonderful with Kiki. She treated her as if she were her own, giving her so much love, attention, cuddles and care. It was obvious how much she genuinely cared about Kiki’s happiness and wellbeing, and that meant the world to us. Being away from your pet can be worrying, but Liz made the whole experience completely stress-free. We had every confidence that Kiki was being looked after, loved and spoiled — exactly as she deserves! ❤️🐾 When we came home, it was clear that Kiki had been incredibly happy and settled, which says everything. Liz went above and beyond, and we really couldn’t have asked for anyone better. We would recommend Liz 100% to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring and genuinely passionate about looking after their pets. Kiki has definitely made a new friend, and we wouldn’t hesitate to leave her with Liz again. Thank you so much, Liz, for taking such amazing care of our precious little Kiki. You were absolutely brilliant! ❤️🐱🐾”
About: Hey, my name is Glenn and I am from Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪 . I've had cats and dogs since I was very young, so caring for animals comes natural to me and is an absolute pleasure. I have some free time and would love to fill that with walks and house visits for cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes, young or old! I would be more than happy to give any required medication while with your pet if needed! It would be a pleasure to provide drop in visits, house sits and walks from 30-60 minutes. I am a very active person myself and love going for walks and runs in the park. What better way to do that than with a four legged friend? I am a student with a very flexible schedule so I am available at varying times throughout the week. This availability will change week to week but I will always make Rover a priority as it’s something I enjoy so much. I am unable to take pets into my own home but I am comfortable providing pet sitting or drop in visits in your own home.
About: I have 3 cats of my own (my babies I love them), some fish and over the years my experience includes looking after friends/families pets. Most recently my boyfriend’s elderly grumpy cat with thyroid medication but he has warmed up to me now. I’m truly a cat lover as I have grown up with them so I am used to their behaviour. I will give them the patience, attention and playtime they need, as I’d want other sitters to treat my pets with the same care.
“We have been using Janet 2-4 times per week to do an hour drop in session with our puppy for over a month now. We get feedback throughout and following the sessions and he seems comfortable with her on all the photos. We will be continuing to use her to come and visit him so he’s not on his own all day while we’re at work.”

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I have both had dogs since our childhood, and currently have two friendly cocker spaniels. All my dog experience has been from pups, I even acted as midwife for my next door neighbours bitch giving birth 3 years ago! My location has a large country park at the end of the street, and woodland behind me which I manage as a volunteer warden. I have a dog friendly rear garden and my cockers love drinking from the barrel water feature. I have very tolerant pets and they happily engage with other visiting dogs,and a previous neighbours cat. I have an engaging daily routine for them, so much so I'm convinced my dogs can tell the time, when their next activity is due. I am a stay at home foster-dad, and my wife works, sometimes from home. I volunteer in my local community woodlands, and other institutions throughout the day but I estimate our dogs are not at home for more than 3 hours alone. Apart from a clean and secure rear garden, my home is partitioned in such a way that a scared visitor could have seclusion if required. I do have a crate in the kitchen, and my dogs use it for privacy/ sleep ( door open). If your dog would be anxious at night, then I can keep my dogs upstairs with me or they can remain in the kitchen to keep their visitor company. Whichever works.
About: I developed a special interest in all kinds of animals about 3 years ago. This prompted me to do loads of research on how to care for cats and dogs, so that I could properly take care of my friends' pets!! I've been pet sitting ever since and have absolutely loved the experience of connecting with so many unique pets 🫶🏽 I currently work freelance remotely and get to decide my schedule! This means I'm available to board anytime and have loads of free time to properly look after your pets and play with them (if their personality allows) 🫶🏽 My home is clean and safe (can only be accessed via fob), which means there's no risk of losing them. I am also a thorough person (very type a) and will typically make a chart for your pet, with their name, personality, any allergies or medication requirements and schedule, ensuring I take care of them exactly as you would!!
“I would not hesitate to book Jodie again, the communication was really good and Jodie made sure our pup was comfortable, happy and safe as well as sending updates and pics throughout the stay. Would definitely use again 🐶”
“Angela is amazing, she's kind caring, and nothing was too much trouble for my puppie. I will 100% be using Angela again 100% trustworthy The updates were amazing Diesel has the best time I can honestly say I know I will never need to worry about my puppie being with Angela Thank you and we will be seeing you very soon xx”
“Rolo had such a lovely stay, Pat was so welcoming to us and Rolo, she took Rolo for a nice walk and she was sleeping contentedly when we picked her up. Right from the outset has been so communicative and helpful. Can’t speak highly enough and hope Rolo will be back again soon!”
“Sophie has now looked at Maggie a couple of times. She went out of her way to come and meet Mags as it was too hot to take her out and I get regular updates through the day. She seems settled very quickly and cloud is a lovely dog as a companion.”

About: I've always had a genuine love for animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and needs. I take the time to get to know each pet so they feel safe, comfortable and cared for while you're away. Whether it's a playful puppy, an independent cat, or a senior pet who needs a little extra patience and attention, I provide calm, compassionate care tailored to them. I'm happy to stick to feeding schedules, administer basic medications if needed, provide plenty of exercise and enrichment, and most importantly, give lots of affection and reassurance. I know how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, so I'll always treat your pets as if they were my own. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can relax knowing they're happy and well looked after. I work from home, which means I'm available throughout the day to provide plenty of attention, companionship and care.

My home is clean, tidy and smoke-free indoors, with a secure fenced garden for supervised outdoor time and play. Larger dogs are welcome to enjoy the spacious downstairs living areas and garden, although the upstairs is kept off-limits for them. I'm lucky to live close to plenty of lovely walking routes, green spaces and adventure spots, perfect for keeping dogs active and engaged. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, gentle strolls or simply relaxing at home, I'll tailor their care to suit their needs. I also share my home with one friendly indoor cat (Koby the Bengal), so it's important that visiting pets are comfortable around cats. We are open to separating them for some shorter stays. There are no breed or size preferences, but for the safety and wellbeing of everyone, I can only accept pets that are non-aggressive and well behaved in the home environment. Most importantly, your pet will receive lots of affection, attention and companionship throughout their stay, day or night, cuddles are always included!

“Lovely people, lovely environment. So friendly from first contact and so welcoming the moment the front door opened. Rolo clearly felt very at ease and ‘at home’ and enjoyed the drive out and walk. Very kind and caring.”
“Richard was an absolutely fantastic dog sitter, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly. From the moment we met him, it was clear how genuine his love for dogs is, and that really showed in the way he cared for mine. He was incredibly attentive, making sure my dog was comfortable, well exercised, and happy at all times. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious that my dog felt relaxed and safe in his care. Richard went above and beyond to stick to my dog’s routine and needs, and his reliability and professionalism made the whole experience stress free. I would not hesitate to use him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“Rupert had a great time and was well looked after. He had his walks, ate his meals and had plenty of play time. I was updated throughout the day with photos and videos. Rupert will definitely be coming back to stay. Thank you!☺️”
About: My partner (Matt) and I are both lover of dogs with Matt having grown up with 2 miniature Schnauzers. Given we don’t have any dogs of our own, we enjoy looking after them on a short term basis (before we take the leap and get our own!) We both work from home, so can have someone at home at all hours of the day. We have no children in the house and a secure garden. We have experience of looking after dogs weeks at a time as well as dogs we look after regularly for daycare - we know lots of great walks near our home too! Ideally looking for smaller hypoallergenic dogs but, are open to other breeds We usually work from home all day so take dogs out in the morning when we’re up between 7-9am for a walk and toilet break. We do a longer walk during the working week at lunchtime up to 1hour and then an evening walk after work (up to 30 mins) and a last toilet break just before bedtime. On weekends we usually do a bigger walk for our more active breeds. All can be altered around breed if they require less walking time. Feeding times and medication administration we’d usually ask for this ahead of care and follow your usual routine. We have a fenced and gated garden. We have experience with dogs that use crates. We don’t have children and only look after one dog at a time.
“My maltipoo lulu stayed with Karen for the day while we enjoyed a day out at the theatre, Karen looked after Lulu with great care and has a very nice clean and safe home she sent us regular updates on Lulu to keep us relaxed will definitely use Karen’s services again 5*”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes very naturally to me. I’m 28 and have hands on experience raising and training my own two dogs from just 7 weeks old, which has given me a strong understanding of puppy development, routines, and positive reinforcement training. I’m confident working with dogs of all ages from energetic puppies who need structure and consistency, to older dogs who may need a gentler, more patient approach. I’m comfortable reinforcing training, sticking to routines, and making sure each dog feels safe, calm, and cared for while you’re away. Because I’m a dog owner myself, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I pay close attention to their individual needs, whether that’s exercise, playtime, or just some extra cuddles. My goal is always to make your pet feel happy and stress-free, and to give you complete peace of mind. work shift patterns, which actually allows me to dedicate focused, quality time to pet care. I only accept bookings when I’m off work, so I can give your dog my full attention throughout the day no distractions or time constraints. I’m available on weekdays and every other weekend, making me a flexible option for both regular care and occasional bookings. During my time with your pet, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship, while sticking closely to their usual routine. Because I plan my schedule around the dogs I’m caring for, you can feel confident they’ll be my top priority while they’re with me. When caring for pets in their own home, my priority is keeping everything as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your dog’s usual routine closely, feeding times, walks, exercise, and any training or house rules you have in place so they feel secure while you’re away. I’m very respectful of your home and make sure it’s kept clean and just as you left it. I spend quality time with your dog throughout the day, giving them plenty of attention, play, and companionship so they don’t feel lonely. With my experience raising and training dogs from a young age, I’m confident reinforcing good behaviour, sticking to routines, and adapting to each dog’s needs whether that’s an energetic puppy or a more relaxed senior dog. I also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can feel reassured that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

Aswell as lots of other courses related to animal welfare. I work with rescue dogs who come from all different backgrounds so I have lots of knowledge about medication, behaviour etc. I love animals and want to help give them the best holidays whilst their owners are away! I am also trained in pet first aid and im doing a animal management and behaviour course. Daily walks for the dog consists of 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening. I can offer 1 at lunch if the dog needs extra and this can be longer walks if need be I have a fenced garden where the dog can play which has artifical grass and concrete.

About: I've recently lost my gorgeous little Boston, winston and am missing him so much, so thought it would be an amazing opportunity to take care of and cuddle lots of other doggies until I am ready to get another. I had winston for 12 years and loved him like my child. I trained him from a puppy and then took care of him and gave him his medication and lots of care in his senior years. I was always brought up around dogs and genuinely love them more than most people. You can be guaranteed your fur babies will get a lot of love and care with me. I'm a teacher so am available at weekends or during school holidays for boarding. I can do drop ins and walks in the evenings on top of this. I dont have any children or other pets so your doggy will get my undivided attention. I treat them like children so they are very welcome on the couch and on the bed with me etc. I live near big playing fields and also have a garden.
“Angela is just the perfect companion for our Nige. He is so happy when he has the chance to go on a lovely nice long walk, and always comes back with the biggest grin. Cannot recommend enough. Thanks Angela, he is already looking forward to the next time. 🥰”
“Janet has been amazing and Bella absolutely loves her. It’s taken me a long time to get a dog walker as I’ve always been nervous about leaving Bella with someone else but Janet is very responsible, I don’t worry at all, I look forward to the days she’s taking her out as I know she’s going to have lots of fun!”
About: I have worked in emergency veterinary care for 5 years now, and have a lot of experience with all types of different animals! I have completed my VCA course through Myerscough college and am pursuing my Veterinary Nursing Diploma. Prior to working where I am now, I also worked at the RSPCA rehoming centre - spending time with the dogs and cats, caring for them before they went off to their new homes. I have two cats, Leonis and Cookie, who I absolutely adore. Prior to these two, I also had Holly and Bailey - two Ragdolls, who lived until they were 18! I currently work 5 days in (working nights) 5 days off, so I have plenty of time to spend time with your babies, especially when I am off work! Even on my days in, I would be able to pop round to feed, toilet, and spend some quality time if your pet wanted, too. Pets definitely rule the roost when it comes to doing home visits, so I would do all of their normal routines to the best of my ability. If dogs have a favourite route to walk, I’ll do my best to let them enjoy that walk too!

This means I am dedicated to providing the best care for your furry loved ones. Whilst only currently having 1 year of experience providing pet care I do come from family background of highly qualified, experienced and professional dog walkers and pet sitters who have been operating in the Leicestershire area since 2005.

I am available full time for all your pet care needs from 7am-7pm Monday till Friday for pet sitting requests please provide up to 2 weeks notice this allows time to arrange a meeting prior to taking on your fury little family for you to ask any questions that you may have and to discuss any additional information that I may need about your pets helping me to plan and provide the best care I can for your fury loved ones. I provide pet care at your home meaning that you don’t have to worry about your fury family being up rooted whilst your away you can feel safe in the knowledge that they are being looked after in their/your own home any access keys (for example front and back door) will be placed in a safe place this will be discussed and agreed with you this ensures that you never have to worry about your keys going missing, I am happy to provide you with constant updates on how your fury loved ones are doing whilst you are away meaning you don’t have to worry and can see that even though you’re away that they’re having a great time too. Fresh water will be provided daily and refreshed as required. Food will be provided as discussed and agreed with by you. Any medication will be given as discussed and agreed with by you. For animals that require bedding (rats, mice etc) their bedding will be cleaned and changed daily, your pets can be caged over night if you wish them to be.

All of this ensures that your fury loved ones get the best possible care they can and you can enjoy your holiday completely stress free
About: I have 3 cats of my own (my babies I love them), some fish and over the years my experience includes looking after friends/families pets. Most recently my boyfriend’s elderly cat with thyroid medication and a friend’s dog with a strict diet. I’m used to cats behaviour and will give them the patience, attention and playtime they need, as I’d want other sitters to treat my pets with the same care. As an animal lover I am open to looking after other animals, I also love dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I promise they’ll be cared for as if they were my own 😊🩷 Im currently in between jobs so I have full availability and can be flexible to fit around your pets routine. I also have a driving license so travelling won’t be a problem. During visits I will do the basics (cleaning litter, feeding your pet, dog walking, sweeping/cleaning the room), provide medication if needed, lots of cuddles, play and will send updates of course!

About: I've taken care of cats and dogs of different breeds and other animals since a young age. Neighbours, friends and close family have all asked me to take care of, feed and give attention to their animals to which I performed precisely. I am currently caring for my partner as she is heavily pregnant and am not currently working a 9-5 due to the care that she requires and as the pregnancy has caused a lot of unexpected difficulties it is safer for me to remain closer to home. I house 3 in door cats, their needs and requirements are met on a daily basis, playtime divided evenly between the 3, constant cuddles and comfort from myself and partner, constant litter tray supervision, regular biscuit bowl, water and wet food throughout the day.
About: I’ve had pets all my life in my family home, usually a mix of both dogs and cats at the same time. I used to live in a lovely countryside area where we could go for massive walks and enjoy amazing play time! I now look after our lovely cat Betty and kitten Penny who are a handful, but they’re also the cuddliest most loving cats we’ve ever seen. I work full time, however my shifts change all the time leaving either a full morning or full evening available, plus 3 days a week off. I will look after your pet as I would my own, based on their routines that you have established with them. They would be in your home and used to their usual routines, and I would follow your instructions to the letter. I’ve been using an amazing sitter on Rover for years and would model myself on her amazing service. I would be the only person looking after your pet.
About: I am currently in my final year of veterinary school and have a wide range of experience with different dogs and their medical issues. I am comfortable in giving medication and recognising when things aren’t quite right. I have previously had my own house sitting and dog walking business before starting veterinary school so I am comfortable with all aspects of caring for your pets. I’m currently in my final year of veterinary school so my weekends off are filled with lots of walks with my own dog and time spent at the stables with the horses. I would love to share this time with some other dogs too as well as any weeks or days off I have between my current rotations. I have great walks from my front door and two other friendly dogs who would love to keep your dog company. They would be very much part of the family, or if they feel more comfortable in their own home I can stay with them there.
“Sophie helped us out with dog care with little notice which really helped us out. We got pics and she followed all our instructions perfectly. They will be excited to see her again soon, thank you!”

“Absolutely can't fault Karen and Trevor, they provided outstanding care for Kallie. At the meet and greet Kallie warmed to them right away, which was a major positive, as she can be wary when meetingnew people. They provided detailed updates with photos, ensuring we felt at ease, and Kallie was so obviously happy with them. I highly recommend Karen and Trevor for anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely bring Kallie back, availability permitting, thank you so much.”
“Kate was fast to reply to my messages and to answer my questions, and she was kind enough to let Peppa visit before I made a booking. I was a bit apprehensive at how Peppa would settle with a new sitter given she has separation anxiety, but upon arrival it was obvious that she immediately felt at home. Kate kept me updated throughout with pics and messages letting me know how everything was going. Couldn't have asked for more. Thanks very much, Peppa can't wait to come back!”
“Amy was amazing with Mocha, he’s quite anxious with new people but she made him (& me) feel at ease. She took him on lots of walks and sent me loads of updates. Thank you Amy!”
“This is the first time we have used Claudia with no initial meet & greet due to logistical issues. However, both Benji and Maisie quickly settled, enjoying a jolly good sniff & mooch of Claudia’s secure rear garden. Claudia kept us fully updated with photos, videos and messages via the Rover App. Will definitely use Vlaudia again.”
“Cooper absolutely loved his stay with Remy and Alan, and was treated like part of the family whilst he was there. I wouldn’t hesitate in leaving him with them again when we go on holiday, thank you for taking such good care of him and providing us with lots of updates and photos!”
“I cannot recommend Alex highly enough. He is always quick to answer messages and sent lots of updates and pictures of our 2 whippets when he looked after them. Most importantly he seems like a genuinely nice guy who obviously looked after our dogs really well and I will be booking him again.”
“Our first time leaving our Labrador Bruno with Michelle for 1 week..she made us feel very relaxed and confident leaving Bruno.. he has come back happy..thank you! Highly recommend xx”
About: I have a genuine passion for dogs and providing them with the care, attention, and compassion they deserve. As a physiotherapist, I bring a strong understanding of wellbeing, patience, and attentive care into everything I do displays qualities that naturally extend to looking after animals. I’m also planning to further my studies in animal physiotherapy, which reflects my long term commitment to working closely with and supporting animals. I regularly look after dogs for friends and family, so I’m confident handling different personalities and needs. I enjoy keeping fit and active, which means I’m always happy to provide walks, playtime, and plenty of engagement to keep dogs happy and healthy. I work from home, giving me a high level of flexibility throughout the day to provide consistent care and attention. I’m able to use my days off during the week as well as weekends to offer reliable and dedicated services. I take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pet very seriously and always aim to create a safe, loving, and enriching environment for them. I am currently working flexi - work from home as a consultant physiotherapist this in turn gives me plenty of time throughout the week/weekend to give your pet my undivided attention. I live in a secure top floor flat with plenty of out door space close by. No other animals live at the property so if your pet is quite shy or does not get on with others this will be no problem at all. I will be able to provide plenty outdoor time, regular checks and unlimited cuddles (If that’s what they like).
“Absolutely amazing couple highly recommend. My cavalier King Charles has never been away from me since I got him three years ago. He was looked after by this lovely couple for two weeks. I got regular photos and updates. Thank you so much for taking care of my fur baby so well. Dexter will be back next year 🙏”
“I couldn’t be happier with Wai Han! She was able to accommodate Porridge for a very last minute booking over christmas and she was absolutely wonderful. She’s incredibly lovely and professional, she kept me updated with photos and videos the whole week and it was clear Porridge had a wonderful time with her, her partner and her cat Saba - so I had complete peace of mind. I’d highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again in the future 😻🩷”
“Chester’s first sleepover with Alison went really well. Alison was organised with the information we’d previously discussed at our meet and greet and from Chester’s recent day care. We were hosted regularly with photos of Chester’s day and he settled really well. Pick up and drop off smooth and looking forward to his next stay. Thank you”
“Reggie absolutely loved his stay with Alice !! She was very reassuring and understanding about Reggie’s behaviours etc. she sent pictures throughout the day and kept us updated !! Have already booked again 🤍 10/10 would recommend”
“Lily has just enjoyed a 2 week stay with Karl and his family. We couldn't be more happy with the love, care and attention they give to her. I would recommend Karl without a shadow of a doubt to anyone and particularly if this is their first experience with Rover.”
“Sophie was absolutely amazing with our dog, Finley. He had the best time and she sent so many great photos of all his adventures! We’ll definitely be booking again thank you so much!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have experience with dogs from 1 year old to 18 years old. I’ve also always had a variety of other pets including cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas and even Giant African Land Snails. I have even featured as a rescuer on Channel 4’s Dog Rescuers. Unfortunately due to the nature of my job as international cabin crew it is no longer possible for me to have pets of my own so I am pouring all my love for animals into looking after other people’s pets and making sure they feel right at home in my care. Offering a loving home away from home environment where your pets can feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for while you are away. As a member of cabin crew I bring a calm, caring and compassionate nature. I am trained to stay calm during any number of situations and this transfers easily to the care of animals. I have standard and enhanced DBS certificates due to my job as well as through tutoring which I have been doing alongside my work. I live with my husband Matt, in a lovely home with a fenced, secure garden which has both grass and patio areas and we live adjacent to fields and the bus route for save walking routes. I’m also an avid runner and love having company on runs for those pets that would prefer extra exercise. I am on a part time roster so every fourth week is a week off. When I am in work, my typical working block would be 3-4 days away and then 2-3 days off at home without any other commitments. This means I am able to commit completely to looking after and playing with your dog on my available days. I have a secure, fenced back garden where your dog can roam freely and have areas nearby for safe walking routes away from main roads.
“Sandra looked after Storm for an evening and Storm had a great time and settled in so quickly with her and her partner. I got lots of videos and photos which helped put my mind at ease that Storm was having a great time. Storm can be unsure of new people, but Sandra agreed to a pre meet and also made sure she asked lots of questions so she knew how to best look after Strom. Storm also had a day visit with Sandra and her partner for a walk and had a great time. Thanks so much!”
“This was Peppa's second visit to Edward's. She couldn't wait to get inside when we arrived so she is obviously happy staying here. Edward was great, too - giving Peppa a walk and sending me photo updates during her stay. Thanks again.”
