About: I’ve taken several courses in canine behaviour, and have over 18 years of experience working around dogs of various sizes and temperaments. Lots of friends and family have relied on me to provide drop ins or pet sitting for them. I have 1 reactive dog and 1 with several medical needs, so thoroughly understand the importance of a caring, attentive and reliable pet sitter. I also have experience training puppies, and understand how much care they require. For cats, I have also been trusted for years by friends and family to look after their feline friends when they are away. Having a deaf senior rescue cat of my own has provided me with additional experience in the care of older felines. I’m experienced, reliable and caring. But also calm, thorough and patient. I work part time as a dance teacher a couple of evenings a week, so have plenty of time each day to care for your pets for play time, walking, feeding and cuddles. Your pets welfare and safety will always be at the top of the list, closely followed by fusses and play time! My focus will always be on ensuring your pets has everything they need, and has had lots of fun.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs. As a family we’ve always had rescue dogs, so I have had experience with many different breeds, personalities and temperaments. I love all dog breeds and they seem to love me back 🙂 My work is flexible which enables me to look after your dog at a time to suit you. I live next to Abington Park and can offer dog walking dog sitting, drop in visits and overnight stays within a 3 mile radius of my home. I also like to meet a new dog and their owner first (free of charge) to help us all to get to know each other before your first booking. I’m confident with dogs and have looked after dogs for friends and family for most of my adult life. I have also had experience of working in kennels. You can confident that your dog will be well looked after and I’ll keep you updated with photos and texts when I’m looking after them My work is part time and very flexible, as I want to build my dog walking business. This means I can easily work round your dogs requirements. I will allocate time to the dogs, needs making sure they get daily exercise and are fed at their feeding time and any other pet care requests from the owner. I will also be respectable in the owners home.

“Had a lovely meet and greet with Ashika! Was very nervous as my dog is a bit of a barker, but quickly settled and allowed Ashika to throw her ball and give her treats, which was a huge success! Ashika was very chatty, friendly and easy to get along with. Can't wait to see how my dog bonds with her over time!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine lifelong love and experience with animals. I grew up with five cats and a Springer Spaniel–Jack Russell cross called Eddie, so I’m very comfortable with pets of all kinds and personalities. My boyfriend and I also regularly take care of our friends’ two dogs — one small and one medium-sized — so I’m used to handling different sizes, temperaments, and routines. I’m patient, reliable, and make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well looked after while their owners are away. I’ve always dreamed of having my own pet day care, surrounded by lots of happy animals every day. Caring for pets is something that truly brings me joy — it’s not just a job, it’s something I love doing. Whether I’m walking dogs, playing with kittens, or just keeping pets company while their owners are away, I always treat them like my own. Me an my boyfriend work part time so we have some availability for house sitting and pet care. We can easily fit in walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day and we make sure they have company, comfort, and attention. When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I always follow their normal routine — including feeding times, walks, play, and any special care instructions. I know how important consistency is for animals, so I make sure they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I give them plenty of attention, affection, and playtime, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos for peace of mind. When pets stay with me, they have access to a secure, fenced garden that’s perfect for safe outdoor time, as well as several nearby parks for walks and play. I’m around throughout the day to keep them company and make sure they get the care and attention they need. I live with my boyfriend who also has a Rover account and is experienced in pet care. I also have a basic DBS.

About: I’m a devoted dog mum to my beautiful 13 year old Chestie (Chihuahua x Westie) called Bon Bon. Doggies are my absolute world. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have over 30 years hands on experience caring for my own dogs and family dogs, from tiny puppies right through to gentle senior companions. I understand that every dog is different, in personality, routine, confidence and care needs, and I take the time to get to know them properly. I’m fully DBS checked and have completed my Canine First Aid training, so your dog will always be in safe, calm and capable hands. I’m especially confident with Puppies – patience, routine building and positive handling. Senior dogs – slower walks, gentle care, comfort, reassurance and medication awareness I treat every dog as if they were my own. From personal experience, I know how important it is to feel completely at ease when leaving your dog with someone, and I promise your dog baby will receive genuine love, attention, cuddles, enrichment and a peaceful, safe environment. Your dog won’t just be looked after… they will be extremely well cared for. 💚 Pet care fits naturally into my daily life and routine, as dogs are already a big part of my world. I structure my days around dog care, walks and companionship, and I’m setting my schedule on Rover to ensure I can give each dog proper, unhurried attention rather than fitting them in around other commitments. During the day I focus on dog walking, drop-ins and companionship, and I also have flexibility for longer sits and regular weekly bookings. I carefully limit how many dogs I take on at one time so every dog receives calm, consistent care, individual walks where needed, and plenty of one to one attention. As I already care for my own senior dog, Bon Bon, my routine is naturally suited to dogs who may need a quieter environment, gentle walks and a relaxed, reassuring presence. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into my week it is a planned and central part of my everyday routine, allowing me to provide reliable, loving and consistent care for every dog I look after. I provide care in your own home and out on walks, so your dog can stay relaxed in their familiar environment and keep to their normal routine. I always follow your instructions closely, including feeding, walking style, routines, medication if needed, and any training or behaviour guidance. I take time to build trust with each dog, using calm, positive handling and lots of reassurance, especially for nervous or senior dogs. For walks, I tailor them to your dog’s age, energy level and needs, from gentle, sniffy strolls for older dogs to more active walks for younger, energetic pups. Safety is always my priority, and with my Canine First Aid training and full DBS check, you can feel confident your dog is in responsible, capable hands. Although I have dogs of my own, I do not offer care in my home, all services are carried out in your home and on your dog’s usual walking routes, giving them consistent care and attention.

About: We're an active family who adore the company of dogs. We miss our beloved rescue English Foxhound who accompanied us on long walks and runs. We have over 15 years experience as dog owners and sitters for friends and family. Our adult daughter Eden is also studying Animal Management and Welfare. We also have experience of caring for older dogs who've required regular medication and a slower pace of life. We're used to all shapes and sizes, we had our lovely English Foxhound Willow for 8 years; she was 38kg, and we now regularly sit for a lovely small terrier. We've cared for dogs from 2kg to 54kg, from a Chihuahua to an Akbash and Rottweiler! Pets are family and your pet would be treated as one of our own whilst with us. We can board or provide day care Friday through Sunday. We have a reasonably sized enclosed garden with high fences. We have 6 rooms we'd make available for your pet to make themselves at home in. We also live on the doorstep of Upton Country Park for lots of walks and runs on the lead. We're also happy to do meet and greets so you can pop and see us ahead of your pet staying

About: I’ve loved animals since I was a child and now as an adult am passionate about caring for your loved one and in their own home! I understand that whilst you’re away you’ll want the best care and love for your pet and home, so rest assured I can provide this. I’ve been a trusted dog/pet and house sitter for the last ten years and pride myself on making sure your pets are happily fed/watered/walked and loved in your absence. I work part-time so you’ve no need to worry as I won't have to leave your pets alone for long periods during the day. I will be looking after your pet(s) in their own environment, so taking out all worry of new surroundings, and all ground rules will be strictly adhered to.

About: I enjoy long adventurous walks & hikes with your pup! I have had family dogs and cats since a young child and always been heavily involved with the care process and training within the home since I was around 15/16. Since then I have gone on to care for friends and family members pets of all sizes, big dogs, cute cats and even some funny bunnies! I enjoy big outdoor walks and finding new exciting spaces for your woofers to sniff! I am also not new to close protection dogs and their specialty needs or exotic house cats such as Bengals and Maine coons. I can be available daily for your dogs needs! I am looking for this to become a more permanent role for myself and to eventually transfer over to this being my main occupation. I am more than happy to follow close and detailed instruction's provided by you or am happy and confident to provide exemplary care and take initiative to keep your pets and yourself satisfied.

About: I have a large dog which I have been taking care of since she was a puppy, giving me first hand exparience in this field. I will be starting university soon, I am looking for extra cash to be made before and after school and during holidays when I am not working my main job. I ensure that all instructions and cautions given to me by the owner are adhered to and that the dogs needs are met. I have a large dog and day walks and then playtime is always scheduled.

About: Hello! I have had one dog since he was a pup for ten years. Sadly he passed away last year. Due to me already having 4 cats I won't be getting another dog just yet but I do miss him and not going out for daily walks with my beloved dog Coco. If you are in need of doggy care or dog walking I would love to help and care for your pet the next best thing for me without actually having another dog! I will care for your pet like it's my own with lots of love and attention. I have plenty of time to look after your pets as I am home mostly so can be really flexible with times or short notice. I am fully dbs enhanced checked and I am reliable trustworthy and a genuine animal lover who will take care of your pets as if they were my own

About: I have about 5 years experience looking after my mother in-laws dog. He is a cross between a labrador and a husky, he was rescued from the streets of Romania, at 4 months old. I feed him, give him treats, I change his water, take him out for walks & I play with him. At the moment I'm available immediately to come & look after your furbabies, whether it's a visit or pet sitting overnight. I'm really looking forward to sharing my love for them all. I will only be able to visit your home, as I have 3 cats of my own. This way I can pay them more attention in your own home, or take them for walks if this is their normal routine.

“Samantha is lovely and was so good with Monty, you can tell how much she loves dogs 🥰 He had a lovely walk with her. Often need a pop in or a dog walk for Monty at the weekend so I’m happy that we can now ask for Samantha. Xx”

About: I've had a dog since I was a young girl and have looked after friends/families pets too. I am also a student paramedic which whilst not being pet care, is an example of caring for others (plus I meet many interesting pets each day). I know how to care for shy dogs well, as my dog was a rescue greyhound who was very anxious. I am a student paramedic and being at uni makes me miss having a furry friend to care for. Studying at Uni means I miss my pets at home, so look forward to taking care of yours! I am able to care for pets when I'm not on placement, my schedule is not fixed so I may be able to work around your requirements. When I care for your pets they'll be getting my full attention. The eveniornment depends on the service being used, there are many open fields and parks nearby for dog walks. I have a car with a large boot space, so can take dogs on walks. If the care is in your home I will play with your pet or if they prefer, I will keep an eye on them whilst they keep to themselves. Each animal and pet is different so I cannot subject my answer.

“Scarlett was brilliant, she really got us out of a bind by walking Bella on short notice! My puppy came back happy and the pictures provided showed a lovely walk 😊”

I am currently studying at the University of Northampton and therefore have a lot of free time, anytime on the weekends or Mondays and Wednesdays, plus time on the other days to take care of your fur babies. I will make sure to ask you about your pets needs so that I can secure the safety of your pet whilst you are away, whether they can go in the garden or off lead etc, and make sure I am prepared to meet the requirements.
