Angela and Paul provided a perfect home for our boy Murphy. We both felt at ease as soon as we met the couple, as was Murphy. This instant connection made our decision easy to book Angela. Whilst we were away, we were kept up to date with pictures and videos of Murphy who looked to be having an amazing time and wasn’t missing us at all. I can’t recommend Angela and Paul enough and would absolutely trust them with our precious boy in the future.

Alexandra was absolutely wonderful with our little dog, Emily! It was Emily's first time staying away from home and we were both a little nervous. As soon as we met Alex, all our fears were alieveated. She was warm and kind and personable. Emmy liked her straight away. We received lots of pictures of their time together. It made our trip so much easier knowing our dog was in good hands. I cannot recommend Alexandra enough! She was the best dog sitter ever!

About: I am a young, fit individual who loves going on walks and spending time with my dogs. I can provide daily visits for cats and dogs, dog walking, doggy day care or at times overnight boarding. If my availability doesn’t suit, don’t hesitate to send a request or message anyways and I will see what I can do. I have had dogs my whole life, starting with labradors and now border terriers. My own dog Teddy has a diagnosis of epilepsy so I am able to manage dogs with medical conditions well. I have access to a car and can drive to any appointments🚘 Please don’t hesitate to message any questions. I currently work full time through a shift schedule. However I often have spare time on my hands during days off on which I would love to go a walk or help out other dog owners. I can also provide overnight boarding for well behaved, socialised dogs. When in someone else’s home I will respect any instructions given to me. I can bring my own dog on walks (if wanted) to keep company.

Fantastic dog sitter. Stepped in at the last minute, great communication before hand, came and went exactly as planned and could not have been better. Parker loved Harriet - he wanted to go with her when she left! She even lent me a handbag for my even when I realised I had not packed one. 11/10, thanks Harriet

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, from cats and dogs to horses and pigs. I’ve house-sat for multiple families, ensuring their pets are well cared for and kept in their usual routines while owners are away. I hold a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management, which gave me in-depth knowledge of animal health, welfare, behaviour, and husbandry across multiple species. Alongside this, I have experience working in a small animal veterinary practice, where I developed strong skills in recognising signs of illness, supporting senior pets, and assisting with general animal care. I am confident with basic medication administration and maintaining consistent routines for puppies and younger dogs. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve regularly cared for my own pets as well as those of family and friends for many years. I am responsible, reliable, and understand the trust involved in caring for both pets and homes. Pet care is my full-time focus. I run my own business caring for dogs and horses, which means I have full control over my schedule and can plan my days around the animals in my care. Because of this flexibility, I’m able to provide consistent attention, regular walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Whether your pet needs active stimulation, structured exercise, or simply calm company, I can tailor my routine to suit their individual needs.

About: I have grown up with dogs. My mum used to teach at a puppy school and with her guidance my family has cared for dogs of all ages. As I grew older I learned how to be more involved in caring for our dogs as I was occasionally in charge of walking, feeding and caring for them by myself and would assist my mother with vet visits and training aspects. To this day she remains someone I contact occasionally with questions when dog sitting and through her, I realized what an honor it is to be trusted with caring for someone's pet. Since starting university, I have been able to work as a dog sitter through Rover and looked after various pets, either for short-times when their families went to work or for longer periods when they went on holiday. I am student, which gives me some flexibility when it comes to my weekday schedule. Though I have to attend classes on campus throughout the week, I sometimes have a few hours free in between classes and tend to finish around noon on Wednesdays and Thursdays. No pet I would take care of would have to stay home alone for longer than a few hours and if you have any concerns, feel free to reach out, so I can let you know what my schedule looks like during the time you would need a sitter. On weekends, I can arrange to stay with your pet for the entirety of the visit. I live in student halls, which unfortunately, does not allow pets. Therefore, I am unable to accept bookings for dog boarding and daycare. However, I am more than happy to look after your pet at your place if you are comfortable with that or pick them up for a walk. Please understand I won't unleash your dog unless I have taken care of them for a while and only with your permission. I own a long leash that I have often connected to whatever leash is provided by the owner to maximize the freedom of your dog and there are also some fenced areas at a park nearby where I am comfortable letting dogs roam freely. Please discuss any needs of yours or your pet and I will do my best to accommodate them.

About: Growing up I have always had pets, dogs and cats. Breeds we have had include springer spaniels, jack russell terriers, border collies, german shepherds and yorkshire terriers. As an adult I have had 2 hungarian vizslas with a previous partner so I am well versed in active breeds. I had my vizslas from puppies so I have experience of those demands and training them. I now only have one of those vizslas, nearly 2 year old Finn so any requests will need to bear this in mind. He is friendly with dogs and people but he is active and loves to play. I have a flexible job, it is 9-5 monday to friday but I can work from home when I want to, subject to appointments. I don't have fixed days or times at home but I can balance the care of my dog easily. I can return home after appointments which are normally only an hour or two so your pets won't be left long. I have a fully enclosed back garden with no public access to the back- I have a side passage with two locked doors leading to the back garden and the fences are 5ft and in good condition so your pets will be safe and secure. I can shut off access to different areas of the house as well if your pets need to be contained whilst alone. I am happy to use a crate if that's what you prefer.

Susan (and her husband) did a great job of caring for Ruby, while I attended my daughters graduation. Ruby is very anxious and has some health needs. Susan was very calm and gentle, letting Ruby settle in at her own pace and adapting her care to accommodate Ruby's needs and routine. I got lots of updates and photos through the day, giving me confidence and peace of mind that Ruby was in safe and loving hands. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Susan. Thank you so much for making Ruby feel at home and giving her all the love and cuddles she needs 🩷🩷🩷

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and truly see them as a treasured part of the family. I’ve owned dogs myself and have also cared for many dogs for friends and family over the years. I’m experienced with a variety of breeds and personalities, including hounds, terriers, collies, dachshunds as well as mixed breeds. This has helped me become comfortable adapting to different energy levels, routines, and care needs. I have recently adopted a little cockapoo girl who is my bundle of joy, she is super friendly and loves meeting new dogs. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I will treat your dog like my own, always making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after while in my care. I work from home full time Tuesday through to Friday, which means dogs in my care have plenty of company throughout the day. Because I’m home, I can offer regular toilet breaks, playtime, treats, and lots of cuddles so they never feel lonely. During the day, I have natural downtime where I can feed, play, and spend time with your dog. Dogs will usually enjoy a 45-minute lunchtime walk and a longer walk once I finish work, along with plenty of cuddles and a good old snooze. I will always want to make your dog feel safe and like part of the family whilst staying with me, so I am happy to tailor my approach to your dog. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a quiet, adult-only household with no children, which helps create a calm and relaxed environment for visiting dogs. I also have my own 8-month-old cockapoo, Roxi, who is very friendly and loves meeting new dog friends. She’s sociable, playful, and used to sharing her space with other dogs. The house has a secure, fully enclosed rear garden where dogs can safely go out for fresh air and toilet breaks whenever they need. We’re also lucky to have several parks and green spaces nearby, which are perfect for daily walks and exercise. I always follow each dog’s usual routine as closely as possible and take time to make sure they feel comfortable and settled in my home. Dogs are supervised, given plenty of attention, and treated like part of the family while they stay with me. I’m always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so you and your dog feel completely comfortable, and I’ll send regular photo and message updates during their stay so you can see how they’re getting on.

About: I have loved dogs since day one, growing up we had two Labradors, one of which was a rescue. My mum also added a little Westie to the gang, so along with 3 cats, it was quite a busy household! I developed a deep love and understanding of their unique personalities and needs. Now, as the proud owner with my wife of four wonderful dogs, three are rescue dogs, two of which are Thai street dogs, and my mums Bedlington Terrier following her passing. Two of the rescue dogs are reactive to other dogs so I bring a hands-on experience in handling a variety of temperaments with patience and care. Whether it’s providing a calming presence for anxious pups or ensuring playful companions get the exercise they need, I’m committed to creating a safe, happy environment for every dog I care for. I would be delighted to care for your dog, if you're happy for me to help, please pop me a message! I currently work from home, so I'm free during the week and weekends to look after your lovely dog! If you have any questions, just let me know! We have a fenced garden and if your dog gets on with other dogs, we have four of our own to keep them company if needs be. We also have two crates if required.

Meg had a wonderful time with Alex. We felt 100% happy and confident to leave our dog with her for a few days while on holiday in the Lake District. We were sent lots of photos and Meg was very happy to go back each day. On our last day Meg took us for a walk and took us to the park where Alex bought her a sausage for lunch - unfortunately the cafe was closed when we got there but it was lovely to see her keen to share the experience with us! We would definitely love to book Alex for dog sitting next time we visit the Lake District. 🥰

About: Very experienced dog trainer and behaviourist, with large rescue organisation for over 10 years. Avid dog lover, and previous dog mum to a sassy Daxi called Tilly. Countryside living in Cumbria, with both walks on the doorstep, and the fells a short drive away for those more adventurous paws! Dog got a few 'quirks'? Rest assured, ive seen em all! Positive training methods and vibes all the way! :) I am currently on a career break, so the world is my oyster at the moment. I enjoy getting out and about most days, so having a pooch to join me would be great! I understand every dog is different, so am able to adapt to each individual in order to meet both their, and your needs. I have a mature garden, which is full of lots of smells and room for adventures. the majority of it is enclosed, with some small gaps beneath some decking- however, I am more than happy to keep your pooch on a long line, and supervised at all times. I have multiple rooms, if your dog requires separating at certain times etc. I have space for crates etc. I am happy to accommodate your dog on the furniture, or on the bed if this makes them feel more at ease. I have access to a woodland which is not open to the public, so if your dog requires quieter walks away from the public, or other dogs, this can be accommodated easily.

Gail was fantastic with looking after our Cavachon, Maisie for some daycare and we felt very reassured leaving her, along with lovely Luna the Cockapoo! Maisie seemed completely relaxed being there and Gail was very kind, helpful and communicative throughout the whole process. Would happily recommend and rebook. Thanks Gail!

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, from cats and dogs to horses and pigs. I’ve house-sat for multiple families, ensuring their pets are well cared for and kept in their usual routines while owners are away. I hold a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management, which gave me in-depth knowledge of animal health, welfare, behaviour, and husbandry across multiple species. Alongside this, I have experience working in a small animal veterinary practice, where I developed strong skills in recognising signs of illness, supporting senior pets, and assisting with general animal care. I am confident with basic medication administration and maintaining consistent routines for puppies and younger dogs. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve regularly cared for my own pets as well as those of family and friends for many years. I am responsible, reliable, and understand the trust involved in caring for both pets and homes. Pet care is my full-time focus. I run my own business caring for dogs and horses, which means I have full control over my schedule and can plan my days around the animals in my care. Because of this flexibility, I’m able to provide consistent attention, regular walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Whether your pet needs active stimulation, structured exercise, or simply calm company, I can tailor my routine to suit their individual needs.

About: Hi everyone! My name is Naomi, I am very new to this app. I have grew up with animals since a very young age of 3 year old. I am animal obsessed but dogs hold a very close place in my heart! I have 2 rescue lurchers that I take out on walks and make memories with. I am a very kind and caring person and if I’m honest my love for animals is more than humans 🙈 I love going on long walks with my dogs and dogs that are owned by family and friends. I am very good with dogs at all ages and have a lot of experience with young, teen and elderly dogs. I train regularly at the gym as one of my hobbies so I can withstand a dog that pulls on the leash too, as I am aware no dog can be perfect. I look forward to meeting your pets, they will be in great hands and I will look after them like my own pets! I am available for walks and visits any hours on a Tuesday and the weekends. I am available for walks and visits any other weekdays after 5.30pm. If you have any certain requests to not hesitate to get in touch. I look forward to meeting your pets! I am currently working as a dental nurse 35 hours week so I do have spare time, in which I would like to spend meeting and walking new dogs I care for my two lurchers by taking them out on daily walks and playing lots of games to keep them mentally stimulated as they are high energy dogs by playing scent and lure games and lots of different types of training. Not to mention giving them lots of cuddles/scratches and feeding them nutritious food.

About: I have had a rescue dog for 13 years and another dog from a puppy for 2 years. They are both loved and cherished, and your pet would be treated exactly the same. I also have experience working with animals at animal charities for the last 11 years and looking after friends' dogs frequently too. I work part time 3 days a week so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I am happy to have them in my home as long as they fit in with my pets and kids, or I can come to your home if preferred. I have a fully fenced back garden and a very easygoing labradoodle who would like to play if your dog wants to, but is happy to give space if your dog prefers. The other dog is very old and sleeps a lot! I am fit and active so happy to give long walks if wanted.

Angela and Paul provided a perfect home for our boy Murphy. We both felt at ease as soon as we met the couple, as was Murphy. This instant connection made our decision easy to book Angela. Whilst we were away, we were kept up to date with pictures and videos of Murphy who looked to be having an amazing time and wasn’t missing us at all. I can’t recommend Angela and Paul enough and would absolutely trust them with our precious boy in the future.

Alexandra was absolutely wonderful with our little dog, Emily! It was Emily's first time staying away from home and we were both a little nervous. As soon as we met Alex, all our fears were alieveated. She was warm and kind and personable. Emmy liked her straight away. We received lots of pictures of their time together. It made our trip so much easier knowing our dog was in good hands. I cannot recommend Alexandra enough! She was the best dog sitter ever!

Fantastic dog sitter. Stepped in at the last minute, great communication before hand, came and went exactly as planned and could not have been better.
