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’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.

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.

Northampton, NN5

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 spent lots of time in veterinary hospitals. Through this, I am confident in being able to spot medical emergencies and have learnt to deal with dogs of all temperaments.

My weekends are completely free so your companions won’t feel alone around me! I am able to follow instructions very well and am confident handling animals no matter the size or personality, and am able to take a gentle, patient approach when needed.

Danielle was kind enough to accept us last minute, and saved the day when I desperately was looking for someone to take care of IO. She sent me some photos during the walk, my puppy looks happy and smiling, that is the best sign that he enjoyed the walk with Danielle and felt safe. Will definitely reach out to her again. Thanks you so much Danielle!

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 online so you’ve no need to worry as I won't have to leave your pets alone at all during the day or night.

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. Pet care fits really well into my routine, I’m not working at the moment so I have lots of flexibility for house sitting and pet care. I can easily fit in walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I’m always around to keep an eye on your pets and 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: 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 have many years experience looking after different breeds of dogs. Most recently a Golden Retriever, Great Dane, French bulldog and a Cane Corso Cross. Experienced in handling puppies including bath time, qualified small animal microchip implanter. Photos can be taken of time spent with your fur baby. Experience includes new born puppies as well as older dogs. Also looking after a pregnant dog to keep her calm and happy. Most recently experience looking after a dog with separation anxiety, which went extremely well. I am at home most of the time so can be flexible with pet care, day/night boarding and walking throughout the week and also weekends. We have a Ground floor flat with excellent access to beautiful grounds with many dog walkers choosing here as a prime location for social interaction with many different breeds. There are also pathways leading to quiet areas and an open field if that is preferred. For boarding, dogs are allowed on my bed and sofa as long as owners give consent for this.

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.

I cannot rate Jamie highly enough - he was terrific! My dog was one of his biggest fans and would always get excited for his walks with Jamie. Prompt communication and always arrived when agreed, the process was made so much easy by Jamie's professionalism. I especially appreciated Jamie tailoring the walks to to the weather - as when it was over 30°, Jamie changed the activity to one where my dog would be in shade on a field and not walking or running. Thank you so much for everything Jamie!
