1. Alicja B.
“We asked for Alicja's help to doggysit my dogs while we were away for the whole day. She was amazing with Bruno and Maple. The dogs love her immediately and snuggled up with her all day. I am impressed because my older dog is picky and usually hesitate getting close to new people alone, but he deffo loved having her company. This gave us a lot of reliefs being out all day when we know our dogs are having fun and having a relaxing day at home with Alicja. She follows through the instructions very well, even with our dogs specific situations and conditions. She sent a couple of photos for updates too throughout the day, which we really appreciated. Would deffo contact her again when we need someone to look after our dogs next time. We came home to happy and relaxed dogs! Best of luck!”

Jackie also sent photos thought day and morning which is a lovely and heart warming thing to do when you're away knowing for peace of mind your dog is happy and content. Honestly I could not recommend Jackie enough. She really is a honest, trustworthy, reliable fun loving person.”

About: I’ve had the privilege of growing up in a household that’s always had rescued dogs. There’s nothing more rewarding than looking after a dog! Whether that’s walking, playing, bathing or feeding your pups will get the best of care Currently I do work full time monday to Friday. So availability in the week would be after 6pm only. Weekends I am available (Saturdays & Sundays) I live in a first floor flat, which is unfortunately quite small with no garden so I am unable to have your pooches stay with me! However I am free most weekends for sitting & walk bookings

About: I’ve taken care of Animals my whole life. I’ve pet sat for neighbours, i’ve walked neighbours animals, and I do all of that for my own animals. I don’t have a job at the moment so i am here for everything you need, I can be there as soon as possible! I have a drivers licence but i don’t have a car, so by me helping you, you are helping me in every way! Before I go on walks i like to make sure everything is shut, the animals are leaded up correctly and if i pet sit I like to make sure the animals have been fed, have enough water, and to make sure they can’t get out anywhere. Whenever I finish a job I will always double check I’ve done everything, locked the door and given them enough food and water if that is what you allow.
13. Cloe H.
“Great dog sitter, felt at ease while I was out, she had 2 walks over the day, a very happy/tired dog. Would highly recommend. Will defo be booking her again 😊”
14. Layla-Star C.
“Layla was absolutely wonderful with all of my pets and they were incredibly comfortable with her. Even my one dog who barks at everyone became putty in her hands. She was also great at administering medicine to my cat who requires it regularly. Layla sent me plenty of messages and photos while I was away to let me know how they were all doing. All of my pets were happy and relaxed when I returned and that says everything.”

About: I have vast experience with dogs. I’m available to care for your pets, your way, when you’re unable whilst providing great communication so you don’t miss out on any of your pets journey. A tailored, personalised service will be discussed at a meet and greet before bookings are made to ensure your much loved pet is getting the best care for them. I spend all of my free time with my dog, who will be a great play mate for your dog, if suitable. Equally, he is happy being home along whilst I work. This also means I have experience in training young dogs as well caring for older pets too. Please get in touch to discuss your needs further and to find out more. Your pet will always have company in the house when taking care of your beloved pet. Please confirm if you pet can not be left along for short periods of time. My garden is fenced off so there can be not accidental escapes, there’s plenty of toys and garden space for them to run around, play and have fun.

About: I may be new to this website but I’m not new to pet sitting. I really love animals and have over three decades of experience for looking after pets and also owning some myself too over the years. I have looked after and walked friends, clients and families dogs over the years and also looked after cats too. I lost my own little dog to cancer a few years ago and so being able to get my dog fix via walking and house sitting little dogs is great. I work for myself part time and can work from anywhere and be flexible around your pets needs. I’m looking to give lots of cuddles and love to your furbabies and help you out with a walk for your little ones or a dog sit stay. My goal is to make sure your pets feel loved and comfortable while you're away, ensuring they have just as enjoyable a vacation as you do. Before any pet sit, I always prefer to meet with you and your pets in person if possible. However, if time or distance doesn't allow, a Zoom call works just as well. This helps me ensure that I’m a good fit for your pets, and you feel confident and comfortable leaving them in my care. Your peace of mind is my priority, and I’m more than happy to provide daily updates, including photos and videos via WhatsApp or any method you prefer. I’m also happy to commute for house sits, making sure your pets receive the best care no matter where you are. A typical day in my care is all about ensuring the well-being and happiness of your fur babies I look after. Here's what you can expect: Morning Routine: We start the day with a morning walk or playtime in the yard to stretch their legs and get some fresh air. Feeding: I follow their regular feeding schedule, serving meals based on your instructions and dietary requirements. Activities and Play: Dogs thrive on interaction, so we engage in fun activities like fetch, tug-of-war, and interactive toys. I also offer plenty of cuddle time for those dogs who prefer it. Outdoor Adventures: If there are special places you prefer for walks or if your dog has a favorite park, we'll head there for some exciting exploration. Otherwise, we'll explore nearby parks and trails, keeping safety a top priority. Rest and Relaxation: After our outdoor adventures, I make sure there's time for rest and relaxation on a comfortable place to take a nap or simply unwind. Socialization: If your dog enjoys the company of other dogs and it's safe to do so, I can look ant arranging a play date with other friendly dogs that your dog is known too and ensure they have a great social experience. Evening Routine: We wind down the day with another walk and play session before dinner. Nighttime Comfort: Dogs have their own cozy space to sleep, (or if they are used to sleeping on the bed, I’m happy to have them on the bed sleeping to and ensure they rest soundly through the night. Throughout the day, I prioritize your dog's safety, happiness, and comfort, adapting activities to their preferences and energy levels. If there are specific places you'd like them to visit or particular activities they enjoy, I'm more than happy to accommodate those preferences to make their stay enjoyable and memorable. I don’t tend to leave your fur babies, other than food shopping. So if you have an anxious or nervous dog, rest assured they will not be left alone for any length of time other than when I go to but groceries. Please feel free to contact me as for house sits I will consider travelling across the UK. I’m currently working part time for myself which allows me lots of time and flexibility to prioritise your pets needs and requirements. I am very flexible, so send me a message and let’s see how I can help you out 😀 I ensure that I am made fully aware of everything in a pet owners home prior to taking on a pet sit, I like to know everything from pet sleeping preferences, best local walks to take the little ones
17. Lauran M.
“I have been taking my dogs to be looked after by Lauran for a few years now. She looks after our pups so well, that they seem to prefer being at her house than ours. She is always smiling and clearly loves the animals that she looks after and treats them like her own.”
18. Melissa and Sam T.
“Sam and Melissa were very patient with me, being a first-time user of Rover and being really nervous about the whole process, having only ever used one other pet sitter before. They were wonderful with all of my pets and even my dog who is nervous of everyone relaxed completely and was incredibly content. I'm sure I went overboard with instructions and information but again, Sam and Melissa were very patient and attentive to every detail. Thank you both so much for looking after my lot, I hope you enjoyed it as much as they say they did!”
19. Darryl C.
About: Having had dogs throwing life and having had my own for the past 10years and been a regular sitter for those of friends and family too I love the joy that a dog can bring to you home and your life overall. I really enjoy the time out and the mindfulness of walking a dog and in the comfort and care you get from them in return when chilling at home afterwards. Although full time employed I routinely work from home and a can adapt my day to suit the potential needs of any booking. I can work remotely while dog sitting in your home or arrange to walk your dog as part of my days routine. I would consider being your dog into my own home if they are sociable and gel with my own cocker poo Martha. I am caring and considerate and would respect your home as my own if caring for you dog in your own home. I would follow all instructions given. If bring them to my home I have a securely fenced garden should the care be in my own home. I also know of many wonderful walks int he area that are safe and dog friendly.
20. Charlotte B.
“Charlotte has been taking care of my dog on and off for the last 5 years. I couldn't be more satisfied with the level of care and experience from Charlotte. She took the time to get to know Terrance (My dog) asking specific details about his routine, and preferences. She is prompt, polite and a lovely person too!! Charlotte will provide regular updates if necessary for your reassurance. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing dog walking/pet sitting services.”
