About: I am retired and looking to share my many years of dog ownership after losing my best friend recently. Missing the walks and the hugs and those special times that only dogs can give. Nice big home set in a countryside location and no other pets/children or other distractions. Experience with border collies, senior care and nervous dogs. I have recently retired and am able to accommodate my time to the care of dogs. If I have committed to looking after your dog(s) they will receive full care and attention throughout their stay. I live in a large house with a paddock for excercise at home and access to many country walks. I have a car and am familiar with transporting dogs if allowed for days out at the beach etc. Your dog would reside in the home with me and my husband, Chris. I am also experienced with walking dogs on a long lead so they can exercise whilst remaining secure.
“We left our beloved dog Blue for the first time ever with Walter and Angela. They were brilliant from start to finish. We felt instantly reassured that Blue was in good hands. He is an older dog with particular needs and they managed them with great care and easy. We had regular updates from them too.Plus their own dog Bonnie is a very friendly gorgeous dog with a wonderful temperament. I would highly recommend them. Thank you both!”
About: For the last 5 years, my partner and I have been crazy about dogs. We’re usually the first point of call to look after the dogs in our family and friendship groups! We cannot wait to have a dog of our own but with a wedding to pay for (hence the side hustle!) we do not have the time or money for full time just yet. We have experience in looking after dogs of all ages. From minding a puppy for the evening to extended stays with a senior dog of 14 (!) We have a very spacious home with a large fenced garden. Your furry friend will be looked after like it was our own. Lots of walks, cuddles (but not on the sofa :D) and a few treats here and there. Living on the doorstep of Cureden Valley park gives us great access to amazing dog walks, no matter the weather! I work from home 3 days a week, but this can be flexible for longer bookings. Long weekends can work best with Friday - Tuesday the best time to book. Please get in touch if you are interested! We will have more scope to look after any dogs during the School holidays as my partner is a teacher but please get in touch about specific dates! Please note, if we are to board your little furry pal, they must be crate trained (if under the age of 2) and be okay being left alone at night. We do not allow dogs into our beds with us, so if this is how your dog sleeps normally, we wouldn’t be able to accommodate this as we wouldn’t want them getting too anxious! I work from home 3 days a week. Typically these days are Monday, Tuesday & Friday. We are more than happy to look after your little, or large, friend for an extended weekend and for longer bookings this can be flexible. The day would start with a long walk either around Cureden park or other surrounding paths and fields for around 30 minutes- 1 hour. With regular toilet breaks throughout the day, we will always ensure our dog is comfortable and is staying in their home away from home. Once my partner comes home from work, we would typically then walk together for around 1 hour in the late afternoon. Again, this is whatever the weather! We are equipped with boots and waterproofs so this doesn’t bother us. At the weekend, your dog will be our main priority and a big long walk (if they are able!) will be the main event of the day. We have a very spacious home with a large fenced garden. This gives your pet the chance to explore throughout the day! We usually look after our family’s dogs, a cockapoo and a Labrador and they have lots of space to run around) We have looked after them at the same time before so would have no issue in looking after 2 dogs (3 would be a struggle!) We don’t allow dogs on the furniture but they are allowed upstairs if they want to explore. We are also happy for them to be in any room. In the evening, after a nice long walk, we love nothing more than settling down to watch some tv, maybe with a fire on, and some snuggles on the floor with your furry friend. During the night, your dog would be left in the kitchen, with any tempting food safely out of harms way!). All doors would be closed but we don’t mind if they wander upstairs and want to lie on the carpet (we find our dogs generally do). If you would prefer your dog to be kept in its crate this is absolutely fine and we will go with whatever routine has worked best for you. This is your dogs home away from home, so making them & yourself comfortable will be our number 1 priority!
“Blu had a lovely time staying with Fabiola who is very attentive and responsive to what Blu needed. I would definitely recommend Fabiola as a conscientious and caring pet sitter. Thank you Fabiola xx”
“We used Aaliyah for 1 night stay for our dog Rio. Although it was only 1 night we dropped him off at 8am and only could collect him at 9pm. Aaliyah was very accommodating. Rio seemed very happy about his sleepover! Lots of toys to play with and walks and lots of updates and photos. We would highly recommend and will certainly be using again”
“Lovely home with a garden for your dog. Perfect , asked lots of questions about our dog and her routine. Sent pictures of her settled in the house. Good communication between us . Even when it was just for one night. Will use again for a longer period of time .”
“As an owner I certainly feel comfortable and relaxed when I am away now when I leave Libby with Naomi following another great stay. Naomi and her family are really flexible and have worked around my requirements on numerous occasions. They always keep me updated on how Libby is doing during her stay and it is lovely seeing photos of how settled and relaxed she is in their home.”
“Laura and Matt took such great care of Zola during the 2 days she stayed with them. A few days before the boarding, we scheduled a meet and greet so they could get to know Zola’s daily routine and habits, and so Zola could become familiar with her surroundings. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Laura and Matt again. You can tell they genuinely love working with dogs and treat them with so much love, care, and attention. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our girl 😊”
About: I have two dogs age 7 and 5. I love my fur-babies and yours will feel part of our family when they stay with me. All my children are adults so I can concentrate on your dog and make sure they are feeling happy and loved while you are away. I love to go walking so your dog will have plenty of exercise and then plenty of cuddles at home on the sofa relaxing. I want it to feel like a home away from home. My day is already centered around my dogs, I go for daily dog walks with my husband round Worden Park which is a stones throw from our house. I'm always cuddling them and always talking to them!! Plenty of toilet breaks and playtime. I have a big garden with lots of grass and a patio area. My home has high secure locked fences. In the summer I spend lots of my free time in the garden which our dogs love.
“Mark did a great job looking after my 2 dogs this weekend. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos he sent, which kept my mind at ease. My only piece of feedback is regarding the drop-off; Mark was headed out the door as I arrived, which felt a bit rushed and left me a little uneasy about them being left alone immediately. However, the dogs seemed happy and well-cared for upon my return.”
“My Storm went for a sleep over as an extended meet and greet to see if Tracy and her were a match.. I could tell instantly that Storm was comfortable. I got photos and updates.. and when Storm was dropped off she was happy.. and as soon as Tracy's back was turned Storm jumped back into her car.. although I wasnt impressed that Storm was happy to go back off with Tracy it gave me comfort that she had clearly given her the care and love that she receives at home... have already rebooked for a longer stay.. I just hope I get a better greeting off Storm after my trip. Thank you, 🐾”
“Harry was excellent! -helped me out last minute -communication was easy and responses were quick -felt safe and comfortable dropping my dog off and ossy was in good health and good spirits when I collected him. Would recommend highly and would book again! Thank you Harry!!”

(Old Time Bull Dog, Staff, Daschund, Jack Russel Terriers and Bichon Frise). Love large and small pups. Nose boops, pets, pup cups are guaranteed when your fur babies stay with me.

Seriously, your pup will be safe with me, loved and spoilt, just ask me any questions you have. Photos and videos whenever you ask for them and FaceTime too if you like. I’m self employed and just need my laptop and phone but probably spend 4 hours max on my devices so me and your fur baby have hours together. Every day of the week. If your dog is an early riser I can be too of course for those sunrise walks of if your pup has a more gentle pace then we we will wake up after cuddles in bed, go for a walk, have breakfast, relax with morning TV. More walkies or playtime in the garden. Dinner/more adventures and Bluey or some sort of cartoon age appropriate for the pup of course. I live in a large 3 bedroom house with spacious garden. Securely fenced all around, will send a walkthrough so you know where your pup is staying. 2 living rooms, house trained pups can be in both. If not house trained can have the run of the house and living room, dining area and kitchen. Just myself and my mother at home (also huge dog lover). No kids or other animals in my home. Will usually drive to a park for walkies away from the road for safety.

I have a secured fenced and walled garden for your dog to enjoy ☺️ Your dog is free to sit and snooze on my sofa as they please or to have their own space if preferred.

“Michelle was absolutely incredible! I loved meeting her, and she took amazing care of my cat. I got lovely videos and pictures when Michelle visited to look after my cat, and everything was seamless, easy and done right. I highly recommend Michelle!!! :)”
“Aaliyah was great with communication on the lead up to the visits and sent us plenty of updates and pictures of our fur babies whilst we were away! Would 100% recommend her services 😊”
“Atlanta is great, just a drop in visit to feed our cat but so much more than that as she spends time with her giving her the TLC she misses when we aren’t there. Highly recommend and we will definitely ask her again, thankyou Atlanta”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life — I grew up with two dogs, as well as hamsters and fish, so caring for pets has always felt natural to me. When visiting family in the countryside, I was the go-to person for looking after their cats, and I’ve loved it ever since. I now share my home with two very different (and very loved!) cats — Ghostie (8), who’s a laid-back cuddle expert and has needed extra care due to past medical issues, and Shadow (6), who keeps things interesting with his playful, cheeky personality. Thanks to them, I’m comfortable with everything from relaxed lap cats to energetic little troublemakers. I’ve also looked after my neighbour’s cats regularly over the years, so I understand how important it is to keep pets feeling safe, loved, and in their routine while their owners are away. Alongside pet care, I’m happy to help with the little things that give you peace of mind — bringing in post, taking bins out, and generally keeping an eye on your home while you’re away. Each visit typically lasts around an hour, giving your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care rather than just a quick check-in. If you’re looking for someone reliable who will treat your pets and home with genuine care, feel free to get in touch — I’d love to help.
About: I have had cats since I was little. When I had children I introduced them to cats too by adopting a kitten, and now I have 2 adult daughters with their own cats, so I definitely passed on my love of them. I have adopted senior cats. Currently my latest adoption is 10 and a half years old and likes to be the boss of my 3 other cats, but I am gradually getting her used to socialising with them in a more friendly way. It's an ongoing process! I know cats are unpredictable, can scratch you one minute then want to climb on your lap the next, but I like that they have little independent personalities. When a cat loves you, you know you have been chosen. I am used to getting cats to take medication and treating things like eye infections for them, so I would be happy to look after a cat needing medical care. I also clean and change litter, mop up catsick or hairballs, and hoover up stray fur on the furniture!
“Alex has been excellent from start to finish. A pre-start appointment was arranged so that paperwork could be completed. Plus the details of where food was kept and the location of my cat’s feeding station. Alex is a genuinely warm and caring person who loves cats. He communicated with me during my vacation and sent pictures of my cat to reassure me. I would have no hesitation in recommending him, 100%”
“Bryony looked after our three cats brilliantly while we were away. They have a number of different dietary supplements as they are getting older and she was able to make sure this was still administered. The cats can be quite nervous of new people, and by the end of the week Bryony had won them all around! Would definitely recommend.”
About: Hi, I'm Tracey, a lifelong dog and cat lover with years of hands-on experience caring for furry companions of all shapes and sizes. I offer pet sitting and walking services where your pet will receive plenty of love, cuddles, and attentive care. I live on a very quiet and safe estate called Holland House in Walton le Dale that's free from hustle and bustle ideally placed to be local for many surrounding areas spanning anywhere south of Preston... to Chorley and many places in between. Living where I do I'm spoilt for choice with places to go for walks long and short and have the added benefit of a local woods within a stone's throw from home. From experience I understand the importance of maintaining routines and giving your pet the necessary level of attention to feel happy and safe while you're away. Having adopted from rescue I understand some pets are more sensitive and like quiet spaces and as I don't have any pets of my own I can always offer a really calm environment. I hope to have reassured you that you've found a dependable, affectionate, and experienced sitter and would be honored to help so just send me a message, make an enquiry or let me know about any specific needs especially regarding elderly pets or ones that may need medicating as I'm more than happy to accommodate their needs. A bit about me... I've had the joy of raising 3 wonderful dogs and 4 cats over the years including those from rescue centres. Sadly I said goodbye to my last two cherished companions in recent years: Cookie, my sweet 12-year-old Chihuahua who passed away in April 2024, and Baxter, a lovable crossbreed rescue from the RSPCA who lived an amazing 17 years before passing in 2022. These incredible pets filled my life with joy, and while I can’t currently have pets of my own due to work commitments, I miss the companionship and joy that they bring so I'd love to provide a safe, caring, kind, and loving environment for your furry friends while you're away. I also have the pleasure of being a proud "grand pup" sitter occasionally for my two son's dogs — Winston, a playful French Bulldog, and Bailey, a sweet Shih Tzu. Caring for them has only deepened my love for looking after pets and understanding their unique personalities.
“Jonathon has looked after our cat for us whilst we were away, can’t thank him enough as it’s great having somebody you can trust. I am sure pudding will miss him. I can highly recommend Jonathon”

“Absolutely brilliant! We have used different sitters before but Sharon is definitely the best we’ve had! Regular updates and photos sent and came home to happy cats and no mess. Will be booking Sharon again next time and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Very happy with Sophie’s services! - she really went above and beyond looking after my cat. I’d even had some builders in that had made a bit of a mess and she tidied up for the cats safety when she really didn’t need to. Highly recommend and will be using again! 😊”
“Viky stayed with our two very timid cats, who are scared of people and she did a very good job. They both eventually came out to her. We have been receiving regular updates with photos, which has helped greatly, as we were worried they will not take it too easily. We came back to well looked after two kitties and a clean home. ”
“Florence was amazing with our cat Derek! Derek immediately took to Florence, and Florence took really good care of him. We were sent updates and pictures which helped put our mind at ease while we were away. Derek clearly enjoyed all the fuss and attention! We will definitely book again.”
“Matthew was absolutely fantastic. He went above and beyond to make sure my pets were happy and cared for. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you Matthew, you were truly brilliant.”

“Mindy and Marley had the most wonderful time with Jessica! They were utterly spoilt, with walkies, cuddles and snuggles on the settee. Jessica was excellent in her in her time keeping for pickup and drop off and made what was otherwise a very tough dayfor me so much less stressful. I can confidently recommend her superb care. Thank you so much, Jess💕💕”
“We used the Day Care Service for the first time offered by Naomi and received excellent service. Naomi was very flexible in changing the drop off time to accommodate our stay. Thank you. ❤”
“Harry and his family were very attentive and made our little angel feel at home instantly. Ease of drop off and collection. It is clear that Harry loves dogs, they love him, as we came back to a very happy 4 paws. Would definitely recommend!”
“Aaliyah looked after our miniature dachshund, Chorizo, for day care for the first time in preparation for a longer stay we have booked. She was very communicative beforehand and took on board my concerns (he has had IVDD so needs some extra care). She sent me several updates with pictures throughout the day and I could see how happy and settled Chorizo was in her home. He was happy to see us when we arrived to pick him up - but he didn't want to leave Aaliyah and her partner!! We are feeling very reassured ahead of him staying with her in July as we know he will be happy to go back and will be very well looked after.”
“Tom and Abbie took time to make sure Luna was comfortable in new surroundings and took good care of her whilst there. Will get an other introduction walk arranged before Luna stays for a week, thanks !”
About: I have had pets most of my life and enjoy the time with them. I'm retired so have the time to spoil your pet while you enjoy knowing they are well looked after. Im retired and have quite a bit of spare time on my hands. I love having a chat with a dog while walking, its wonderful. My own cats are indoors only as I prefer the safety of this. I cannot have pets boarding at my home due to my own fur babies x
“She's amazing, our dog loved his time with her. She updated us how our boy doing not just message, she send photos and videos as well. I can just recommend her xxx Thank you Fabiola xx”
“Lucca had a lovely day with Michelle, it was the first time we have left her with anyone Michelle sent photos and Lucca looked very relaxed, she had cuddles and walks, and came home very happy.”
About: Hello! Unlike some other sitters on Rover, i have a year of dog sitting experience and work experience in a kennels, cattery, riding school and small animal vet clinic. I have been caring for dogs ever since 2012 when i was around seven years old and have also had some experience with rabbits and birds around the age of 4 years old. During my work experience, i have learnt how to analyse basic animal behaviour well and have learnt how to follow a schedule of feeding times, medicine that need to be administered and how to meet the needs of both dogs and cats. I’ve helped with grooming and bathing at the kennels and i am patient at all times, giving space to animals when they need it. I am the type of pet sitter to give some advice to owners if i feel it may benefit the owners and the pet. For example, if i see your dog eats too quickly, i might recommend a slow feeding bowl to reduce chances of things such as GDV happening to your dog. I have helped two owners during my time as a pet sitter as i have noticed medical issues in their dogs such as signs of a urinary infection or epulis. If you do not want advice, please let me know beforehand as i do not tolerate rude behaviour. Im currently available at all times so whatever type of schedule you would like for your pet, i can work around. When a dog is in my own home and is sleeping over, i sleep nearby to make sure that they are comfortable and safe as that is my first priority. I give every dog at least one walk a day (or more if you would like) In my own home, i have an attached house which is kept clean at all times and it has a back garden with tall fences and no grass. Its a relatively big garden with lots of plants and vegetables around. I do have a dog of my own in the house who’s an eight year old Sproodle who is playful but is no threat to other dogs as she loves to greet them no matter the age. She is gentle with puppies and sleeps in her own bed in the kitchen. In my house, i live with two sisters and my mother. No matter the house im caring for your pet in, i will stick to a schedule and your rules however you prefer. I will make sure your pet is entertained and cared for well and will return home happy!
About: 🐾 About Us Animals have always been a huge part of our lives, and caring for them has never felt like work. We actually met 14 years ago while working together at a boarding kennels and cattery, and we’ve been surrounded by animals ever since. Matthew’s Experience: Matthew has spent his entire working career as a military working dog handler, working with highly trained dogs of all temperaments and energy levels. He’s calm, confident, and experienced with everything from strong working breeds to sensitive, anxious dogs. His background means he understands structure, trust, patience, and how to adapt to each dog’s individual needs. Laura’s Experience: Laura spent many years working in kennels and catteries, caring for animals from all backgrounds — nervous rescues, energetic working breeds, elderly pets needing extra support, and shy animals who simply need time and reassurance. What We Offer: We’re confident with all personalities and comfortable administering medications when needed. We understand how important routines, feeding schedules, and one‑to‑one attention are while owners are away, and we always follow your pet’s normal routine to help them feel settled.

Whether your dog is playful, anxious, shy, elderly, full of energy, or happiest curled up for cuddles, we’ll make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for like one of our own 🐾 -Laura works from home, so there is always someone here throughout the day to give pets plenty of attention, company, care, and cuddles as part of our daily routine. -Matthew works 9-5 on week days dog training and is home evenings and weekends. Fexible routine: each day can be tailored towards the needs of dogs within our care, making sure that your dog feels as comfortable as possible whilst staying in our home. - x2 Dog first aid experienced dog handlers. - Child free adult home, tailored to keeping pets. - Supervised secured Garden access throughout the day. - Access to a local, quiet dog walking routes. - Photos & Video updates. - Kennel experience in administering animal medication and dietery requirments.

“My dog was very happy and well looked after with Karen who treated her as her own. She sent me a video of Cleo and she had toys and I could tell she had a great time when I went to pick her up. I will definitely be booking her again x”
“Millie was very relaxed and happy spending the day with Jo and Peach and we had complete confidence that Millie was well looked after as though she was part of the family. She had a lovely walk and play time. Would highly recommend Mary Puppins and the woof pack and we will definitely be booking again! Ian, Vicky & Millie the dog ?”
“We cannot thank Debbie and Andrew enough for Tiggas first day stay! They kept us updated regularly with their plans for the day along with a variety of pictures of him socialising, playing with other dogs on his park outing, walks and mealtimes. He has been well and truly looked after and settled into their home/routine absolutely fine. We can now go away with peace of mind!! Over the moon with the service we have received! Super professional 😆”

“Zeus went to his first doggy day care with Rosie today, and he loved it. Rosie was welcoming upon arrival and zeus clearly felt at home. Upon collecting zeus he had a big smile and looked absolutely exhausted from his busy day. Rosie was very professional and clearly has a lot of love for the animals she cares for. We will be sending Zeus back for boarding and doggy day cares in the future :)”

“Aaliyah is an angel! She’s been seeing Buddy since April now and he loves when she visits. She always has time for him without fail and is so good with him. She’s been a god send for the past three months especially with Buddy hurting his leg and having to swap walks for drop ins. She always shows concern for Buddy, checking in during and after his surgery to make sure he’s okay! Aaliyah looks after him with so much love and care whilst he’s currently a little hop along 🐶 thank you so much Aaliyah, buddy can’t wait to see you again after a small break 💗”

Thank you ❤️”

“Matt took excellent care of my retriever. Came over for a meet greet and my boy instantly fell in love! Fantastic communication throughout with lots of updates as well as lots of questions to get to know exactly how to care for Spencer.”
“Simone is truly a five star dog walker and sitter. She is the best in what she do and Leo and we love her. She is part of family for us and we recommend her to anyone who like to have VIP service.”
About: I have had cats since I was little, adopting them from friends, the RSPCA or relatives. I have also owned rabbits, and dogs, in the past as an adult. My dog experience includes an excitable Border Collie, a happy-go-lucky mixed breed and a fun-loving German Shepherd. I do miss dog walks and dog cuddles, but currently one of my adopted senior cats isn't keen on dogs so I am currently a dog free house! I have looked after pets since I was about 5 or 6 so have nearly 50 years experience with animals.I work from home so if you have wifi and need a sitter in your home, I can be in most of the day with your pet. I love walking dogs on or off lead and I am happy to go with the personality of your pet, whether that's a cat that likes their own space, or a dog who wants cuddles and long outdoor walks. As for my cats, they have my Mum to look after them when I am away, so I can do overnight or longer stays. I work in education, have a car, flexibility on dates/times and I will look after your pet as if they are my own, sending lots of photos and updates. I work Monday-Friday in term-time, and work from home, with occasional meetings outside my home, depending on schedule. I usually get up, feed my cats, have breakfast, start work at 8 and if I'm in a Teams meeting online, try to keep my cats from coming into shot or stepping all over my keyboard! Sometimes I might need to do an external visit or meeting, but if so then I am back home within 1-2hrs. At tea time the cats get fed again. At the weekends my cats have to wait a little longer for breakfast if I have a lie-in. At home I have a fenced-in garden, a cat flap and litter trays. I also have a small park 5 mins walk away where I used to walk my dogs, and a larger one 10 mins drive away. I live in a very quiet cul de sac.
About: I am a training veterinary student with a lifelong passion for dogs and hands-on experience caring for them in a variety of settings. Growing up with dogs has given me a strong understanding of their behaviour, daily care needs, and the importance of patience and consistency when handling animals. Over the years, neighbours and family friends have regularly relied on me to visit, walk, feed, and care for their dogs while they were away, which has helped me develop responsibility, trustworthiness, and confidence working independently with animals. I have also cared for young puppies, including feeding, socialising, cleaning, and monitoring their wellbeing, which has strengthened my understanding of early development and animal welfare. Through both my personal experience and veterinary training, I have developed skills in animal handling, communication, observation, recognising signs of stress or illness, and providing attentive, compassionate care.
About: I have had pets most of my life and enjoy the time with them. I'm retired so have the time to spoil your pet while you enjoy knowing they are well looked after. Im retired and have quite a bit of spare time on my hands. I love having a chat with a dog while walking, its wonderful. My own cats are indoors only as I prefer the safety of this. I cannot have pets boarding at my home due to my own fur babies x
About: I have owned animals since I was a child from guinea pigs to cats to dogs. I currently have 2 dogs and 1 cat and a rabbit. My dog is a husky so I am used to getting out walking daily. I am available all day for drop ins and walks. I own a husky who is very kind and gentle, she gets along with other dogs but can be left at home if it is an issue. I love long walks as well as short ones and plenty of play time. I have a very big secure back garden which is great for the dogs running around or relaxing in. I have a very small for her age husky who gets along with other dogs with no issues.
“Rosie has been absolutely fantastic in helping look after Pops. She's been incredibly good at working to fit his needs, and has developed an extremely strong relationship with him very quickly, despite him often not taking well to strangers. She's also been so flexible, working around schedule changes at fairly short notice. We're very, very happy, and would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have had my own dog for over 17 years so i understand what it’s like to take care of a dog. I am such a caring person, who loves walking and miss walking a dog. It would bring me so much joy again. I currently work a full time job, Monday-Thursday, when I finish work of an everning. I love to be able to walk dogs and on my days off also as this. I will always make sure that I am consistent when being around the dogs. At the moment I will not be offering over night stays at my home due to having no garden which is not ideal for a dog to be staying.
About: I absolutely love dogs (all animals really) and have had dogs in my life since being young. I currently have a Yorkshire Terrier - I have experience with dogs in heat. I also have two cats, they spend the day outside so will be no issue. Since I have had dogs from a young age I have experience with a range of different breeds so I am very used to all the different personalities dogs can have. I am super flexible due to working from home and am therefore available at short notice. I have the most experience with these breed of dogs: Basset Hounds, Yorkshire Terriers, Labradors, Border Collies, Jack Russels, West Highland Terriers and Pugs. I look forward to hearing form you soon.
About: I have owned my own dogs in the past (Border Collie and Romanian Rescue), as well as being a professional dog sitter on Rover for over a year. I have also fostered dogs with the Dogs Trust and look after our neighbours dogs when they’re away. I work in a very flexible job from home and take regular walks throughout my working day. I’m currently away from my lovely Romanian rescue so it would be great to fill the dog shaped whole in my life by taking other’s loved ones on walks. This is personal to the individual dog but in general I make sure there’s nothing on the floors that would be harmful or a choking hazard. I walk dogs on the leads in fields with livestock. I keep an eye on the dogs to be aware of any signs of discomfort, pain or toilet needs. I make sure they are fed only dog food during their usual dinner times (except time for treats!), I top up fresh water regularly and take them out for toilet trips. And last but not least I shower them with love when they feel comfortable.

“We were so happy with Gus’s stay with Lesley, when we picked him up he seemed so happy and at home. He was very tired which is always a good sign he has had a good time. Thank you Lesley.”
“First time using Sue to look after benji but I was put at ease the minute I met her a lovely lady who truly loves dogs .benji has been looked after by the hosts as he would in his own home he was happy and we will definitely be seeing them again.i 100 % recommend them .”
“We left our beloved dog Blue for the first time ever with Walter and Angela. They were brilliant from start to finish. We felt instantly reassured that Blue was in good hands. He is an older dog with particular needs and they managed them with great care and easy. We had regular updates from them too.Plus their own dog Bonnie is a very friendly gorgeous dog with a wonderful temperament. I would highly recommend them. Thank you both!”
“We used Aaliyah for 1 night stay for our dog Rio. Although it was only 1 night we dropped him off at 8am and only could collect him at 9pm. Aaliyah was very accommodating. Rio seemed very happy about his sleepover! Lots of toys to play with and walks and lots of updates and photos. We would highly recommend and will certainly be using again”
“Laura and Matt took such great care of Zola during the 2 days she stayed with them. A few days before the boarding, we scheduled a meet and greet so they could get to know Zola’s daily routine and habits, and so Zola could become familiar with her surroundings. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Laura and Matt again. You can tell they genuinely love working with dogs and treat them with so much love, care, and attention. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our girl 😊”
“Mark did a great job looking after my 2 dogs this weekend. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos he sent, which kept my mind at ease. My only piece of feedback is regarding the drop-off; Mark was headed out the door as I arrived, which felt a bit rushed and left me a little uneasy about them being left alone immediately. However, the dogs seemed happy and well-cared for upon my return.”
“My Storm went for a sleep over as an extended meet and greet to see if Tracy and her were a match.. I could tell instantly that Storm was comfortable. I got photos and updates.. and when Storm was dropped off she was happy.. and as soon as Tracy's back was turned Storm jumped back into her car.. although I wasnt impressed that Storm was happy to go back off with Tracy it gave me comfort that she had clearly given her the care and love that she receives at home... have already rebooked for a longer stay.. I just hope I get a better greeting off Storm after my trip. Thank you, 🐾”
About: Qualified Pet Sitter! Long time dog walker with Pads and Paws Kent, before relocating up north. Level 3 Diploma in Anomal Management. 7 rescue dogs in! (Old Time Bull Dog, Staff, Daschund, Jack Russel Terriers and Bichon Frise). Love large and small pups. Nose boops, pets, pup cups are guaranteed when your fur babies stay with me. (Allergies and likes always taken into consideration) My latest pup was Boomer, famous Jack Russel on Secret Life of Puppies, episode 19 and 20 👀 and ad to Channel 5. Seriously, your pup will be safe with me, loved and spoilt, just ask me any questions you have. Photos and videos whenever you ask for them and FaceTime too if you like. I’m self employed and just need my laptop and phone but probably spend 4 hours max on my devices so me and your fur baby have hours together. Every day of the week. If your dog is an early riser I can be too of course for those sunrise walks of if your pup has a more gentle pace then we we will wake up after cuddles in bed, go for a walk, have breakfast, relax with morning TV. More walkies or playtime in the garden. Dinner/more adventures and Bluey or some sort of cartoon age appropriate for the pup of course. I live in a large 3 bedroom house with spacious garden. Securely fenced all around, will send a walkthrough so you know where your pup is staying. 2 living rooms, house trained pups can be in both. If not house trained can have the run of the house and living room, dining area and kitchen. Just myself and my mother at home (also huge dog lover). No kids or other animals in my home. Will usually drive to a park for walkies away from the road for safety.
“First time using Rover and Daniel and Ria made the whole process so easy and feeling at ease. Penny had a great time and so nice to have updates and reassurance throughout the stay. Would 100% use them again”
“From initial booking, Medina made me feel very reassured and relaxed about leaving our dog overnight in capable and loving hands. Medina and Ted are super friendly, kind and keen to look after your pet with lots of care and affection. I was sent me lots of update pictures throughout which was really appreciated. Our Golden Retriever had an amazing time with them and came back home super chill and tired. I will 100% be happy to leave my dog with Medina and Ted again !”
“Laura and her family took a good care of Bagel for 6 days. Bagel really loves them as always. Laura updated me with photos and videos every day. I will no doubt trust and choose Laura again.”
About: Experiencex with both cats and dogs, including regular dog sitting and helping with training. I work as an NHS Nursing Associate, so i'm reliable, caring, and attentive. I'm active and love long walks, giving dogs plenty of exercise and attention. I've recently gone part time with a fixed schedule, so I know my availability in advance and have more caring time for your pets. I have a secure, fenced garden and my own home where pets are free to relax and feel comfortable. They'll be treated like part of the family, with plenty of space to roam and enjoy. I also have beautiful countryside nearby, perfect for regular walks and exercise.
“We're very happy with the care our dog received staying with Larissa and will definitely be booking with her again. As this was the first time we have used an online boarding service and the first time leaving our dog we were a bit unsure how she would react to boarding. We needn't have worried, she didn't seem stressed in any way when we picked her up which says to me she was well cared for. Very happy with Rover and happy to recommend Larissa.”
“Debbie & Andrew were great with taking care of Gem. Everything went smoothly. Andrew collected & dropped Gem back home, which was very convenient. Thanks very much for having Gem to stay with you.”
“Laura and her husband Simon were nothing short of amazing! They couldn’t do enough and were very helpful and accommodating. They were welcoming and warm and have a lovely home. Daisy had the best time with them and Laura kept in touch throughout the day with lots of photo’s including Daisy enjoying a nice walk! Thank you both so much! (I actually think Daisy misses you both a little).. I’d definitely book again!”
“Scarlett looked after Wrigley perfectly. Sent updates and pictures of how he was doing and he settled in quickly. Would absolutely trust her to take care of him again in the future!”
“Puck had a fantastic stay with Amy, her family and Macy dog. We got regular updates and some fantastic photos showing Puck up to his usual antics. That’s how we knew he was settled and having fun. Macy is gorgeous too, Puck’s new ? We’d definitely recommend Amy for stay overs, she offers a very caring and professional service.”
