About: Hello there! My name is Amy. I have a lot of experience with pets (dogs & cats) as I have worked in boarding kennels/cattery in both UK and Norway. A lot of dogs and cats that I have taken care of have been regulars at my kennels/cattery so they became like my own pets! I love to build bonds with any animal and would really like some company whilst I am out on walks or in a home having some quiet/play time. I have always been a very responsible person and would love to get to know you a little before you trust me with your fur-baby! Hope to meet you and your pets soon! Thank you x Currently available for walks and drop-ins Mon-Sun 8AM to 6PM. Any breed, any size, any personality 🐶🐱 I adore cats too and would love to get to know more! I have my own transport and can travel to pet sit and walk. I don’t mind exercising/feeding/playing or just keeping your loved one some company.

About: I have worked with a wide range of animals from elephants to hamsters - but dogs as a speciality. I worked as a volunteer in south africa where i worked with both wild animals and abused/abandoned pets - which were mainly dogs. Back home I have worked with many dogs of many different breeds and ages, a few had physical, dietary and behavioural issues - all of which i was happy to take on and help. I have also studied science and math - more specifically Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Math A-levels - and am officially a Zoology Uni Student - which im hoping to use to peruse a career in animal care. I am also a very sporty person - so runs, very long walks or simply just some needed movement is very easily done ! Growing up around animals was the best part of my childhood and i am sure to carry that into the rest of my life, anywhere i can help i am happy to do so! I have recently moved to UK from mallorca - an island off of spain - and i am currently in my gap year. I am not working at the moment so pet care fits anywhere in my daily routine. I have worked with many breeds of dogs with very different personalities - hyper and cuddly or shy and unpredictable. I have worked in lots of different houses, where i respect the property and ensure it is clean and cared for along with the pets.

About: I’ve always been pet sitting my family members/friends pets since I was little and have always loved it! Now that i’m at university, I don’t see their pets that often anymore and since im far away from home and love animals i decided i’d like to start pet sitting around where I live! Since it’s summer time, I have lots of time to hang out with your pet/check up on them, I’m available anyday after 10am I have no pets at home yet, my house is pet safe, big and comfortable for any type of pet. I’m happy with small and big pets.

About: I’ve had pets since I was born. I was raised with 5 dogs at home, from puppies to elderly I enjoyed training, feeding and playing with them. As a teenager I’d help my friends by going to their houses to take care of their dogs and cats and take them for walks. I’m a volunteer in a woodland forest rescuing animals and creating new habitats for them, which improves my understanding of their behaviours and needs. I don’t do boarding for pets from different households at the same time so they can feel more comfortable while away from home. If your pet has any allergies, special needs, medications or a specific routine please let me know during the booking. I’m currently back home during summer break from university so if there isn’t any plans I’m free the whole week 24/7. I got a flexible schedule to be able to adjust for shifts needed I’ve got a house with a closed and fenced garden with play and have a good time. I don’t have any pets at home but I’m free the whole time to stay with your pet.

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for the past 3 years, giving me daily, hands-on experience with feeding routines, structured walks, playtime, basic training, and understanding canine behaviour. Caring for my own dog has taught me responsibility, patience, and how important consistency is for a happy, well-balanced pup. I’m confident handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments and always adapt to each dog’s individual needs. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks or prefers a calmer pace and extra cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m available most weekends, including late Friday afternoons and evenings, making me a great option for weekend trips, evenings out, or last-minute plans. I’m flexible with timing and always do my best to accommodate your schedule where possible. In my home, pets are supervised, kept in a calm environment, and given plenty of attention and care. While I don’t have a garden, I live very close to Central Park, which provides plenty of safe, open space for regular walks, exercise, and enrichment. I make sure all dogs are kept on-lead unless otherwise agreed. I carefully follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding times, exercise needs, and any specific instructions you provide.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was very young. I grew up around two rescued dogs which had anxiety and was able to support them with there needs. 3 years ago I rescued a cat called dave who was very anxious and easily upset after have some traumatic experience with his previous owner. I have been able to help him overcome some of his fears and anxiety and he is now much happier. I will be happy to support your pets with there physical and emotional needs. I over drop in services where I can play with your pet, keep it company and feed them upon request as well as dog walking. I am currently working Saturdays and attend church Sunday evenings but other than that I am available to pet sit whenever you need me to. I will make sure your pet is safe in your home or out and about by feeding, walking them, playing with them and providing any medications or other discussed services upon request.

About: I have lots of experience with animals - dogs in particular because I have had dogs my whole life. I also took my dog to behaviour/obedience dog training and agility training. I feel I have a strong connection with animals and can handle all types of characters and personalities. I have experience handling nervous dogs and reactive dogs and elderly dogs. I have never owned cats but my family members have lots of cats so I have experience with being around them and looking after them. I am currently a fully time university student looking to build up a bit of money alongside my studies by doing something I absolutely love which is looking after animals. Since being away from home I have found a huge gap in my life because I don’t have my dogs with me - this will allow me to be able to look after animals while I am away from home which is something I love doing. My days weekly vary and times I’m available based on my lectures but if you ping me a message I am sure we can sort something out - I am a very reliable person. I will always make sure the animal has its needs met and will follow the instructions left by the owner to ensure optimal care for the pet and peace of mind for the owner. I know how important your pets are as I have 2 dogs of my own at home and used to have a rabbit and hamsters. I absolutely love and adore all animals.

“Réka is an incredible dog walker and I would recommend to anyone. She always sends detailed updates on how my dog is doing and I always come home to a well walked dog. I could not commended her enough for how amazing and respectful she is in my home!”

About: We always had at least one dog when I was growing up, most of the time a cat too. My most complicated house sitting experience, was one cat with medical conditions, a tropical fish tank, a goldfish pond, a house and garden full of plants to tend, and local wildlife (birds, squirrels, and badgers) to feed. It went off without a hitch and I was fully capable of that. I'm happy to take on complicated or simple jobs. Looking after pets is my primary job, so I'm free any day of the week at the moment for visits, walks or house sitting. Either regular or one offs. To start with I'd want to talk to the pet's owners to determine what the pet's everyday routine is, favourite toys, favourite walk spots etc. I believe it's important to keep life as normal as possible for your pet until your pet gets used to me, but with some added fun of course.

About: I've always loved animals, i've had a way with them and I would choose them over people anyday, Caring for them is something i've also done for a while having looked after my own pets ranging from rabbits puppies and birds. I've also helped out family caring for their pets when needed in the 2020 pandemic looking after their cat. I'm currently looking for work so I have a lot of free time, I try to be active so pet care and walks fits easily into my routine I can only offer walks or house visits. I will give pets plenty of attention and do my best to cater to their needs make sure they have plenty of water and follow any requests owners might have

About: We’ve always had pets including, dogs, cats, chickens, ferrets, reptiles and rodents just to name a few. Because of this I absolutely adore animals and enjoy meeting each personality, we’ve taken in older animals for their last stretch on this side and rescued plenty of fiesty babies who become beautiful happy babies. My whole family just loves animals, because of this whilst I’m at university in Plymouth I thought what better way to reduce how much I miss my babies than to look after others. I’m going into my second year at Plymouth and found missing my animals was a huge adjustment so I hope this will bridge the gap for myself. For the last six years I have been looking after neighbours and friends animals when they go on holiday or have an emergency and truly enjoy spending time with them as well as looking after them. Hopefully I can do the same in Plymouth. Im currently going into my second year at university in Plymouth with a changeable but low course load. This means that I am available for plenty of time with your pet be that toilet breaks and some loving or house sitting with them or taking them on a walk when needed. I’m looking forward to exploring some new areas and I believe there’s some English heritage places I haven’t been to yet! Because I am staying in halls I am unable to care for pets in my home however I would be happy house/pet sitting when I would only have to leave for university lectures which tend to be 2 hours long (plus commuting)

About: https://www.rover.com/sit/jb48608 <— Discount Code. I have experience caring for pets through owning my own dog and cat, as well as looking after friends’ and family members’ dogs. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always aim to provide a safe, comfortable, and caring environment. I am patient, reliable, and enjoy spending time with animals, whether that involves walks, playtime, feeding routines, or simply keeping them company. I am comfortable with both energetic younger pets and calmer older animals who may need a more gentle approach. I’m currently off for the summer from university. I’m available at short notice for all pet needs, from walks to housesitting and more. In my own home, I care for pets by providing a safe, clean, and calm environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I make sure feeding times are consistent, fresh water is always available, and pets have a routine that helps them feel settled. I spend time on daily exercise and play, especially for dogs, and I give attention and interaction based on each pet’s personality and needs. For cats, I ensure they have quiet spaces, clean litter areas, and access to enrichment and attention when they want it, while also respecting their independence. As a dog and cat owner myself, I understand the importance of supervision, routine, and making pets feel at home. I would treat any pet in my care with the same responsibility and attention I give my own animals.

About: Love working with animals and having unlimited cuddles with furry friends. I adore working with the oldies and know how to handle their dietary needs. But more then happy to exhaust the youngsters, so they'll sleep through the night. I'm currently studying for my masters, so would love a part time job that will allow me to be active. I will have early mornings from 6 to 7:30 free and evenings from 5 to 9 available along with all day weekends. I have my own vehicle and dog seat belt lead if needed. While I have no garden for uses, I can take them to a safer and enriching environment

“Olivia was lovely and very easy to get on with when she came for the meet and greet. Murphy got on well with her straight away and was knackered when I came back from work! Took loads of pictures for me too. Will definitely book her again.”

About: As the dedicated pet sitter in the family, with two well-trained border collies, I stand out by being trustworthy and reliable. I've been trusted with dog walking my border collies since I was 12 when we got them! Clear communication, frequent pupdates, and a genuine love for animals define my approach. Whether it’s following feeding instructions precisely or ensuring pets’ safety during walks, I prioritize their well-being. I'm not qualified or have certificates, but you can trust me to treat your furry companions like family! My weekends are usually entirely free with a handful of weekdays, always looking for an extra shift for my university savings!! I'm just eager to be out and about with new pups or inside cuddling with some cats! ☺️ I always treat all animals like they're my own and their own person. I love to play, walk, cuddle – I'm down for it all!
