“I can’t recommend Samuel D enough. He has a natural affinity for dogs and it shows in every interaction. Bailey absolutely adores him. He’s incredibly genuine, reliable and truly a godsend. Knowing Bailey is in such capable hands gives me total peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like their own then look no further. I hope Samuel D and Bailey continue their relationship for a long time.”

About: I have had dogs throughout my entire life, and more recently I became a registered veterinary nurse, where I work mostly with dogs. I often look after my dad’s dog Stanley, who is seen on my profile picture. We recently went on a solo holiday together, where we enjoyed going on lots of hikes. Being an RVN, I am trained in CPR and giving medications. I currently work a night shift rotation of 1 week on and 2 weeks off. I plan to only pet sit during my 2 weeks off so that I am available at all times during the day. I will diligently follow instructions from the owner, while also using my professional judgement on the wellbeing of the cat. If I have any concerns I will immediately contact the owner, and stay with the cat until I am sure that everything is okay. During my visits I will spend time with the cat, and try to gain their trust. However, I also understand that cats like their space and boundaries respected. I am available to go on either short walks with your dog or longer walks with a maximum of 2 hours. I will diligently follow your instructions on what your dog likes during their walk!

About: Having grown up surrounded by dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. From an early age, I developed a strong understanding of canine behaviour, routines, and the individual needs that make every dog unique. Over the years, I have regularly looked after dogs for neighbours, friends, and family members, providing attentive care, companionship, exercise, feeding, and maintaining established routines. These experiences have allowed me to build confidence working with a wide range of personalities, from energetic and playful dogs to those who are older, more reserved, or require extra patience and reassurance. I understand the importance of trust when caring for someone else’s pet and am committed to providing a safe, reliable, and nurturing environment where dogs feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for. My goal is always to ensure that every dog receives the same level of attention, affection, and respect that I would give to my own pet, while giving owners complete peace of mind. I have recently completed my college studies and, as I am due to begin university in September, I currently have a highly flexible schedule with no ongoing commitments. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care, whether that involves regular walks, daytime visits, overnight stays, or accommodating specific routines and needs. During this period, I am available throughout the week and can offer reliable, consistent care with a high degree of flexibility. I understand how important it is for owners to know their pets are receiving attentive, dependable care, and I am committed to ensuring every dog feels comfortable, exercised, and well looked after while in my care. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a pet owner’s home, my priority is always to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible. I provide regular feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, companionship, and plenty of attention, while also following any specific instructions regarding medications, dietary requirements, or behavioural needs. In my own home, pets will have access to a secure, large fenced garden where they can safely play, explore, and exercise under supervision. I also have a very friendly and playful Bedlington Whippet who is well-socialised and enjoys the company of other dogs. I always ensure introductions are carried out carefully and that every dog feels comfortable and relaxed. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I respect their established routines and environment, helping pets feel settled and reducing any stress while their owners are away. I understand that every pet is unique, so I tailor my care to their individual personality, energy levels, and needs, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve.

“Rosie responded very quickly and was able to fit us in, which was great. He got a good walk, and enjoyed meeting Rosie. Great communication and service.”

I’ve grown up with dogs and understand the importance of keeping them safe, happy, and well exercised.

As I don’t currently have a car, I’m looking to walk dogs locally, making me a convenient option for owners nearby. I’m reliable, caring, and genuinely love spending time with dogs. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, a longer adventure, or simply some company during the day, I’d be delighted to help. I’ve recently completed my A Levels and have plenty of free time this summer before starting university.

About: ​Hi there! 😊 I’m Gabby 👋, an experienced and reliable pet sitter based in Leeds. ​I have a flexible schedule, love animals, and thoroughly enjoy travel—which has allowed me to look after adorable pets all over Europe. This flexibility also makes it easy for me to travel to more rural areas, which I know can be helpful for clients. (This is, of course, dependent on the length of the stay required). ​ What makes me a good sitter: ​I really enjoy long walks and getting out into the countryside. I love to explore with furry friends and have a car that I'm happy to transport pets in, provided you are comfortable with that. ​I have the good fortune of being able to work from anywhere, so I can be with your pet 24/7 throughout the duration of the booking. ​I am very effective at assessing animals' needs and facilitating a range of activities to ensure they are engaged and having a wonderful time. ​I also have experience in administering medications and supporting pets with strict routines or those undergoing training. I understand how important it is to follow an owner's guidance, especially if a pet has underlying health conditions. I feel confident caring for young and elderly animals alike, and none are too big or too small! 🐈🐕 ​ And generally, I just love animals—I mean, who doesn't love a cuddle on the sofa with a fur baby? ​ When sitting: ​I understand that inviting someone into your home to look after your pet requires a lot of trust, and I take that very seriously. I take care to look after both your pets and your home thoughtfully, ensuring your house is left as clean as it was found, and that your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I also love taking nice pictures of your pets to send you regular updates, so you can see what they're getting up to and have total peace of mind while you're away. ​Feel free to get in touch! I'm happy to have a phone call and arrange a meet-and-greet prior to booking. If you have any questions at all, please just let me know. I look forward to hearing from you soon. ​ Also, if you use this link, it gives you £15 off your first booking with me: 👉 https://www.rover.com/sit/gabrin67458 😊 ​Please note: Pets must be non-aggressive towards people and comfortable walking on a lead and/or have good recall. Owners are to provide beds, food, bowls, and toys for the duration of the stay. 🐾 Pet care fits very naturally into our routine. I have flexible working schedules, which means I can plan my day around the needs of pets able to give regular walks, attention and companionship throughout the day. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In our home, dogs are always supervised, have access to a secure, fenced garden for outdoor play and are welcome to rest comfortably inside with their own beds on on our covered sofa with us. We make sure the environment is calm, clean and free from hazards. When visiting owner’s home, I follow instructions carefully, respect routines, ensure the pet feels safe, attended too and comfortable at all times, and ensure that I leave the space tidy and clean. Whether at home or theirs, we provide consistent supervision, plenty of attention, and maintain a trustworthy, reliable presence so both pets and owners feel confident and at ease.

About: I’ve always loved animals especially dogs and I treat them literally like fur babies! Ever since I was a young child I’ve had dogs around me and as pets. I use to always enjoy walking the neighbours dogs too. I’ve looked after friends and family’s pets numerous of times whilst they’ve been on holiday or just at work. I have a cocker spaniel of my own so he loves tagging along for the exercise and to socialise with other dogs! I’ve also helped friends when their dogs have had a litter. I helped them with feeding, toilet training and to keep clean. I’m currently working a 0 hour contract as a part time care assistant so I can be very flexible with time spent with your fur babies In my home I have a fenced garden with a locked gate to ensure safety the same goes for the back garden. When travelling with animals I will provide crates fitted correctly and also seatbelts for dogs that are not keen on crates

About: Hi, Kez & Alice here. We are an animal loving couple who work at home full time and your pets will always come first in our household. So far, we have dog sat around 40 different dogs in the space of the last 4 years and we have loved every minute of it. Dogs we have looked after include high anxiety, high energy and females on heat. We’ve also had 2 dogs together at the same time who stayed with us for 2 weeks. During your pets time with us, you can rest assured that they will never be left alone and will have free reign of the house! Kez: I have done a couple of stints in Brazil volunteering at a dog sanctuary so I have experience dealing with a wide range of personality types and temperaments. I have always loved all animals and have had my fair share of pet dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits and even rats. Alice: I have always been a massive dog person and doted on all family pets. They come first over everything to me and will never be left alone. I love to walk dogs in the morning and again in the evening - with lots of sitting out in the garden in between! I joined Kez on his second trip to Brazil in August of 2023 looking after abandoned and abused dogs. You are more than welcome to as many pre-visits as you like so you can get to know us and to make sure that we’re the right fit for you and your pet. Between us we both work from home full time and will be at home 7 days a week. We returned from a 6-month career break in March 2024 where we were doing voluntary work around the world and this has included time spent volunteering at animal shelters which we loved! We also like to send daily updates on your pets so be prepared for plenty of pictures of your pooches! We have no pets of our own and we have no plans to have children any time soon so it’s just the two of us. We have a semi secure garden which the pets will have constant access to and we are right near the Yorkshire Dales so there are plenty of places to go on walks. Your pets will have our undivided attention 24 hours a day as we are both at home 7 days a week. As between us, we both work from home full time there will never be a moment where your pet will be left alone. We have a semi secured fenced garden and we are both always at home every day of the week so your pets will always be within our eyesight. We will also put up temporary fencing in any unsecured areas while we have your dog.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and horses, plus cows, sheep, cats, goats and chickens on our friends farm. I have had dogs, chickens and owned 2 horses of my own too. I’ve looked after friends dogs as well as pet rats and cats. I really do love animals. Our dogs have always been a huge part of our lives and have joined us on adventures whenever we could take them along for the ride. I am currently studying at university and over the summer months I will be at home with nothing to do, so Rover fits perfectly around my schedule. I only work Saturday mornings at my part time job which will not change over summer. Our garden is dog friendly. It is fenced and gated with plenty of space for your pooch to play. We live near a park too so walks are on our doorstep. We have always allowed our dogs on our bed and sofa as we believe that they are a part of our family.

“Kieran walked Bramble for me. She clearly enjoyed it and loves his company (as shown on my ring doorbell!). Would recommend”

About: I have just graduated as a veterinary surgeon this year! Therefore, I have lots of experience around animals. I have undertaken placements in vets, kennels, and in numerous farm settings. I have my own dog who has unfortunately had spinal surgery twice so I understand how to cater to specific needs and the extra care that is needed with some animals which I am willing to give! Therefore I also understand that people are very precious about their pets and I assure you they’re in good hands! I am free all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Please message me any queries about times, I have times where I am free throughout the week so can try work something out! As stated before, I have my own dog that needs certain special care so I am very understanding of this and like to ensure that your animal will be in good hands!

Im looking forward to having them stay. I will give you my personal number during their stay and keep you updated on their stay as much as you want! Your puppies will love their time with me and my two boys!

“Leah is very kind and professional, my doggy loves her. I have a regular slot and have no qualms about giving Leah my housekeys. She comes in and out for my dog without disturbing my work. She responded quickly and slotted in a visit as an emergency when I had to go to A&E. Can't recommend Leah enough 🤩”

About: I’ve been a devoted dog mum and self-confessed cat whisperer for over ten years, caring for homes and animals across South Africa and the UK. References are available upon request. I’m green-fingered and deeply animal-loving, with particular affection for horses and hands-on experience caring for them. I’ve been a pet parent for most of my life and have shared my home with rabbits, hamsters, fish, birds, dogs, cats… and even a snake at one point. Growing up around farms also gave me early experience with farm animals. I hold a full UK driving licence and am confident driving most vehicles, making me flexible and reliable for rural or remote sits. Homeowners value my calm, attentive presence and the genuine care I bring to their animals and homes and I treat every sit as if it were my own. House sitting allows me the freedom to travel while working and studying, and most importantly I get to treat your pets as my own. I’m active and love to wild swim and hike, however the homebody is very much within me. Cuddles and adventures on tap as well as long walks which are even better when joined by furry friends. Please contact me to discuss schedules. I treat your home as my own, which allows both myself and your pet to feel at home while you’re away. Whether it be an adventurous walk or a cuddle on the couch, I can accommodate to your needs.

About: I have been on rover since November 2023 and as massive dog lovers, we are having the time of our lives looking after other people's pets. Look at our reviews to see how happy and content all your pets are with us. I have recently started house sitting in your home too. I have had dogs all our life and been surrounded by dogs in the family since childhood. I have a Labrador called Bella who is 7, she is great with other dogs and very well behaved. She is a real pampered pooch, regularly exercised and has lots of cuddles. Unfortunately we lost Ted our 8 year old Labrador to cancer in September 24, you will most likely read a lot about him in our reviews. We now have Nelly who is a 1 year old lab. Both are great with dogs, however they don’t always have to come to your house when I am dog sitting, sometimes they can stay at home. Monday to Friday Maria works from home so your pooch will have lots of company and cuddles. I work local to home for lunchtime walks. On evening and weekends I run or walk with Bella, so your dog will get plenty of exercise. We have a large enclosed garden for safety , Bella sleeps downstairs in the kitchen or living room, your dog can sleep up or downstairs.

About: I have lots of experience looking after people’s pets. I worked at a dog kennels for just over 4 years, caring for all types of dog breeds. I am currently studying illustration at Leeds beckett university however I have 4 days of my week free (Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday) to come home and do any available jobs. I currently have two dogs at home, an elderly springer spaniel and a miniature dachshund who has just turned one years old. They are both very well trained and get on very well with other dogs.
