About: I am a veterinary technician with a lifelong passion for animal care. I have extensive experience working in animal facilities, where I provided hands-on medical and daily care for pets. I am comfortable administering medications, including insulin injections, when needed. I understand that every pet is unique—whether your dog needs long walks or runs to burn off energy, or your cat simply needs a visit for feeding, companionship, and care, I am happy to accommodate their individual needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. Your animals will be in knowledgeable, compassionate hands. I will always keep you updated and provide plenty of photos for peace of mind. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, as my current schedule is very flexible. This allows me to accommodate a variety of needs, including morning, midday, and evening visits, extended walks, and last-minute requests when possible. My flexibility ensures I can provide reliable, consistent care and give each pet the time and attention they deserve. Safety, trust, and a calm environment are my top priorities when caring for pets in my home or a pet owner’s home. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, medications, routines, and any special care needs. I take this information seriously and make sure each pet’s routine is maintained as closely as possible to reduce stress. I always ensure doors, gates, and windows are securely closed and locked, and I monitor pets closely during walks, playtime, and feeding. I use safe handling techniques and appropriate equipment, such as leashes or harnesses, and never allow pets into unsafe situations. I also keep the environment clean, comfortable, and free of hazards. As a veterinary technician, I am trained to recognize signs of stress or illness and will communicate promptly with the owner if any concerns arise. I provide regular updates and photos to maintain trust and give peace of mind, knowing pets are being cared for in a safe, attentive, and loving environment.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialise in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postcode to find a sitter within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-to-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Orkney Islands. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poo and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Orkney Islands.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
Yes, you can find sitters who can respond to your messages in under 5 minutes. To find the fastest available match, message multiple sitters with a recent 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
