“Nicole looked after our puppy as we transitioned back to work & she did an excellent job. We arranged a meeting with Nicole before the agreed date & she put us both at ease with her natural care & confidence. On the day, Nicole sent us updates/photo’s of our pup and when we returned he was so calm. We will be regularly using Nicole’s services & we’re so lucky we managed to find a reliable & caring sitter. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Debs and Dave are two of the nicest people you could ever meet. From the moment they first came to (meet and greet) us I knew my fur babies were in safe hands. With regular photos and videos of the 3 cats obviously enjoying themselves, my home was looked after and respected too. We can’t wait for them to come back!! See you soon many thanks and lots of purrs from us all xx”


“Courtney is absolutely amazing and my two pups, Milo and Nova, loved her. They have only ever been to the kennels twice before, so I was a little nervous but I had no need to be, they were so happy with her, it was like I never existed haha which meant I knew they felt comfortable with her, and could take them out on lovely walks and cuddle up with the on the sofa while I finally enjoyed a night out. I had beautiful photos sent too which just made my heart melt. 10/10 I will be booking again and I highly recommend others to do !”

“Sophie looked after Monty and Lily amazingly, they instantly took to her at the first meet and greet. Sophie was calm and gentle in her approach with them and was keen to hear all about them and their specific needs. It was the first time leaving Monty and Lily with a non family member therefore I was quite anxious, however Sophie put me at ease and was very understanding. I received photos and updates during my time away which helped massively. I would highly recommend d Sophie and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”


About: I’ve had animals all my life and have a vast array of experience with dogs cats and other smaller animals including chickens!! I have 2 dogs one who is a senior cocker spaniel and a cockapoo which is a rescue so needs a little more support navigating the world . I’m a caring, responsible, and reliable pet lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be difficult, so I always aim to provide the same patience, attention, and kindness I would want for my own pets. I’m happy to care for pets according to their individual routines and needs, including feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, cuddles, and general companionship. I’m also happy to follow specific instructions from owners, whether your pet needs extra exercise, a quiet environment, medication reminders, or simply lots of affection and reassurance. I’m comfortable caring for friendly dogs and cats and am happy to discuss other pets and their individual needs beforehand. I take cleanliness, safety, and communication seriously and will treat your home and your pet with respect. Most importantly, I want every pet in my care to feel relaxed, happy, and well looked after. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet’s personality and routine so they receive personalised care while you’re away. ❤️ I currently work full time as a Teaching Assistant so I am available for board on weekends , walks and visits before 7:30am and after 5pm on weekdays I will treat your property ans animals with the same kindness respect and cleanliness that I would for my own house and animals please do get in touch if you have any questions and I look forward to looking after your furry friends
“5 stars. Can't say enough good things about Jatuporn. My dog is big, young, and nervous...not easy! But TJ was very patient and understanding with her, accommodating Jo Jo's sensitivity to get her trust. She quickly found the way to Jo Jo's heart by throwing the football with her (endlessly). And they made progress in trust while I was away. She kept me informed via text throughout my trip so I was never worried. I would recommend her without hesitation to other dog owners who need someone to take care of their dog while they are away.”


“Paris was absolutely amazing! I was given regular updates every day, I felt really relieved knowing Monty was being looked after so well, and I’d recommend Paris’s services to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable and caring. Paris came to meet Monty before the sit and really took the time to understand his routine, and my home was immaculate when I came back. It was clear Monty had the time of his life while I was away! Thank you, Paris! :) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds, growing up with large breeds from being a young age has made me confident with dogs of all temperaments and backgrounds. Being a registered veterinary nurse, I have worked with dogs of all life stages and can provide the essential care they need tailored to them. I work weekdays, but can provide late night check ins for short walks or feeding. I am also available for weekend visits at all times to provide any and all daily requirements I always ensure pets are kept safe, making sure they are kept in a fenced area away from other dogs and people. When on walks they stay close to my side and away from any roads
About: I have an 8 year old working Labrador, so I’ve got experience in keeping active dogs happy and stimulated. I love tailoring walks to suit each dog’s age, energy, and personality. This may include long walks, a game of fetch, or a slow stroll with plenty of sniff breaks. I’m currently studying at university with free days each week and I really miss my own dog while I’m away from home. Caring for other people’s dogs is the perfect way to spend that time doing something I love and getting outdoors. I offer dog walking and pet visits at the owner’s home, following their instructions and maintaining their dog’s usual routine and training to keep things comfortable and consistent for the pet.
About: I’ve worked in a kennel previously and I know the love and affection dogs require when their pawrents are away and I can certainly provide that. I have also graduated from University with a degree in Animal Management so animals are a big part of my life. I am currently at uni only 1 day a week working on a degree in animal management so I have plenty of free time to walk your pooches. On walks, I prioritise your dogs needs and abilities by providing tailored sessions ensuring safe and stimulating environments. Each dogs temperament and fitness level is considered when going out on walks. I focus on their safety and enjoyment whilst providing a stress free environment.

About: Experienced dog‑lover returning to Rover after some time away. I am currently in the process of moving home, I will only be accepting requests from previous owners and dogs. Pet First Aid trained and confident with a range of temperaments — your dog will be in safe, caring hands. I'm really lucky to work hybrid and flexibility 90% of my week. I am more than happy to work with parents to ensure that any alone time is limited and that their dog has the best stay possible. I’d like to think that you are getting a quality service where your dog is treated as my own and will be taken on quality nature walks whilst in my care.
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I provide dog walking, puppy visits, and cat care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I understand how important routine, patience, and consistency are — especially for puppies, nervous pets, or those needing a little extra care. I’m also trained in canine first aid and CPR, giving you added peace of mind while your pet is in my care. I’m fully insured, DBS checked, and committed to providing a reliable and professional service. I have a flexible schedule as I run my own pet service business alongside a 0-hour theatre contract, which allows me to manage my time and prioritise pet care bookings. This means I can often accommodate a range of visit times throughout the day. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine, and I plan my schedule carefully to ensure each pet receives reliable, consistent care. I also have my own pets, so I understand the importance of balancing time and making sure every animal gets the attention they need. I’m happy to discuss specific timings and requirements to find what works best for you and your pet. All pet sitting takes place in your home, so your pet can stay in a familiar, comfortable environment and stick to their usual routine. This is especially important for both cats and dogs, helping to reduce stress and keep them settled while you’re away. I take the time to follow your pet’s individual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions. Whether it’s a relaxed walk for your dog or a calm, quiet visit for your cat, everything is tailored to suit their needs and personality. As a lifelong cat owner and experienced pet carer, I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet and entering your home. I’m fully insured, DBS checked, and always respectful of your space. Regular updates and photos can be provided so you can feel reassured and connected while you’re away.
“What can I say about the wonderful Craig. Absolutely rescued us by looking after our two dogs during our wedding. One dog is particularly difficult as he has epilepsy, so there’s always the fear of seizures and vet’s trip. Craig accepted to help us when others wouldn’t and we’re so grateful he did. The boys were so well looked after and so happy when we seen them. Craig knew we wanted them to be at the wedding so tried to get some pics in bow ties for us, bought us a wedding card and even helped us to carry some stuff in when we returned. Honestly I can’t praise or thank him enough. Definitely he using Craig again ❤️❤️”


“Ashley was great with our dog Alan, communication was brilliant and he left our home exactly as he found it (possibly cleaner). Will definitely ask Ashley to dog sit for us again in the future.”

“Kay gave us all the information we needed. She met early to discuss & view the house. Bella was very comfortable with her. Kay took her out for a walk & sent a photo to us . That reassured us & made us relaxed for the evening. Bella was sitting on her knee when we returned ,so calm & happy.”

“Gheorghe was so respectful of our home whilst staying over and watching our two dogs. I got regular updates, pictures and it’s clear my dogs were very well cared for. I’ll definitely book with Gheorghe again!”


About: I’ve been around dogs and cats since I was a baby. Growing up my grandparents also owned parrots, bunnies, dogs of all sizes, cats, tortoises, fish, you name it…my parents always had dogs and cats. I also owned a dog for 11 years. I feel most comfortable around animals :) Being an older sister of 3, I grew up being the responsible one, caretaker and I’d also walk the dogs, train them, feed them and help my parents in any way I could. When I adopted my first own dog, I learned how much love I have to give and how much responsibility it takes to look after a furbaby. He was very anxious and reactive, so it was 11 years of learning and challenges, but he was the sweetest and goodest boy, right up until the end. I’m currently working full-time. For now I’m looking to combine my love for animals and building up a side income during my free time. I’m happy to look after and walk your pets during my free time on the weekends. I can drive which allows me to get to places a bit further out. I cannot have pets in my own home sadly. However, I’m happy to come in and check on your kitten or pooch while you’re away. I can also pet sit if needed and play with, feed and walk your dogs. I can also train and teach your dog (or cat, if they feel like it haha) some tricks. Work on their confidence by using gentle rewards and lots of patience on their walks. I have experience with reactive dogs and I know how important it is to maintain comfort and special care for the sensitive pups.
About: Hello. I'm Dan, 34 years old and a lot of free time giving me the opportunity to help you and your pets. I'm an avid animal lover of all types and would welcome all invitations to walk, watch over and treat your best friends as mine too. I like to stay active, keeping a regular walking distance everyday and would happily welcome company on those walks. Whether that be short routes around the neighbourhood or a much longer trek in the hopes of tiring them out by the end of the day. I am a licenced first aider with lots of experience fostering dogs and cats in the past with severe medical conditions and other special requirements. In those situations I'm well trained to remain calm under pressure and skilled at assisting your pet in times of need.

Nicole was excellent and I will definitely be booking again. She sent daily photos and took Suzie on some really lovely long walks. She took very good care of the house and I could tell Suzie was really happy to be left in her care. Absolutely thrilled to have found someone as trustworthy as Nicole 🤗

We would like to thank Nicole for the excellent service she has provided. Snowy has made a friend for life. We would definitely recommend Nicole to look after our fur baby and will be rebooking her again. She has such a calming nature which definitely helped with our border collie. Thank you Nicole ❤️
