“Georgina swooped in to look after our dog Moose at the last minute sure to some unforeseen changes with our already arranged sitter. She was brilliant with Moose and he clearly loved spending time with her! She sent us regular updates and photos and took brilliant care of both Moose and our home. She is a great sitter and we will absolutely be booking her again.”

“Beth was brilliant we would definitely recommend. She very generously offered a meet and greet and drove 30 minutes each way to meet our dog ahead of a 1 night sit. She was so attentive to our westie and was great with him. She gave plenty of updates which were much appreciated and we very much felt that out home and doggy were left in good hands. Thank you Beth 😊”

About: I am a reliable and friendly pet carer who loves building a strong bond with every pet I care for and their owners! I’m happy to walk your fur babies, provide drop-in visits and/or house sit. Dog-care experience: I started walking dogs last year through BMD and have experience with a range of breeds and personalities, from Dachshunds and Cockapoos to Labradors. I have also cared for senior dogs and more challenging dogs including those who have limited recall, are strong leash pullers, or who experience attachment issues when separated from their owners. I’m comfortable adapting my approach to suit each individual dog which may include implementing training techniques such as clickers, squeakers and, of course, plenty of treats! I also have experience house-sitting while providing pet care and have developed strong, trusting relationships with previous owners and their pets. References can be provided upon request. Cat-care experience: I also have a fur baby of my own🐱 (which means I don’t offer daycare or boarding - sorry!) This has given me experience with cat care too, including feeding, litter cleaning and, most importantly, plenty of playtime and cuddles. I can’t wait to become your pet’s new best friend!❤️ I’m currently a medical student, which means I’m usually unavailable Monday–Friday, 9–5 during term time. However, I’m very happy to provide care outside of these hours, as well as during weekends and university holidays! I’m also very active and love getting outdoors and going on hikes to stay fit. I’d love to bring your fur baby along on my adventures, if they’re up for it! 🐾🥾❤️ I don’t offer day care or boarding, however I’m more than happy to house-sit once I’ve established a bond with you and your pet. Before any house-sit, I like to establish a bond with your pet and understand their usual routine. This means understanding their individual needs, including feeding schedule, walks, medication, and any house rules you have. I’ll also ask you for their vet details, emergency contact details and what to do should anything unexpected happen while you’re away. I’ll do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own, ensuring it is secure, clean and tidy throughout the stay. I’m more than happy to keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is being well looked after.

“Charley was great throughout the visit. Regular txts and photos to keep me and wife updated. My family live close by and they were complimenting on happy Stanley looked while walking with Charley .Our house was spotless on return aswell. Definitely recommend Charley We will booking her again in near future. Thanks alot”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced cat and dog owner, currently sharing my home with Spooky, my 12-year-old cat, and Nenya, my energetic 3-year-old corgi. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and boundaries. I’m patient, attentive and happy to tailor each visit to what makes your pet feel most comfortable - whether that means an engaging walk, plenty of playtime, a quiet cuddle or simply giving a cautious cat the space to approach me in their own time. I regularly care for pets belonging to those in my personal network and will treat yours with the same care and affection I give my own. I’m reliable, respectful of your home and will keep you reassured with thoughtful updates and plenty of photos while your pet is in my care. **Please note that I’m unavailable for daytime visits on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, but I may still be available during the evenings on these days.** I work hybrid as a communications specialist, giving me flexibility across the week for walks and drop-in visits, particularly on my home-working days. I’m also available during many evenings and weekends and will always confirm that I can comfortably fit your pet’s full routine around my schedule before accepting a booking. Every pet is different, so I take time to understand their personality, routine and boundaries, following their owner’s instructions carefully. At home, I care for Spooky, my 13-year-old cat, and Nenya, my playful 3-year-old corgi, so I’m very familiar with balancing different temperaments and needs. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, attentive to pet safety, and committed to providing reliable updates throughout every booking. For additional reassurance, I have completed both DBS and credit checks for my day-to-day work.

About: I am currently a vet student and my whole world revolves around animals. I have done dog sitting and walking for 5 years now and love it! I am passionate to provide the most loving care for all animals with constant play and cuddles. Due to being a vet student I am in class every week day but I am very happy to spend my time in the evenings and weekends looking after your pets as well as during breaks and holidays. I have done housesitting various times, sometimes for a day and other times up to a week. I always like to meet owners and pets at least once before coming to stay in the house and make sure we’re a good match. It’s important that the animal gets to know me and trusts me before I sit as well as answer any questions beforehand.

About: I have taken care of cats, dogs and reptiles since I was 10. I have completed an animal management course and have completed a canine first aid course as well as a canine behaviour course. I have experience with all breeds and have also worked in dog grooming salon where I also took care of many dogs. My schedule changes each month. I am always available three days a week fully but can try to fit visits/ walks when I’m working too. I am very caring with absolutely all animals and have experience with owners boundaries. I am perfectly aware that every owner has their own preferences and I am ready to take care of your pet how YOU want them to be taken care of. I have a safe home with a fenced garden and very friendly and docile pets who get flea and worn treatment regularly. My pets are home animals so it is very unlikely for them to get any fleas or diseases from other Animals

“Char was an absolute delight! Yuki had the BEST time with what seems like her new best friend. Very polite and thorough in what she doing and always trying to communicate with us, despite us having no signal for most of the day! Patient, trustworthy and 100% would recommend and rebook, thank you Char! <3 :)”

About: Hi, I’m Jasmine! I’m a reliable, caring, and trustworthy animal lover who understands that pets are part of the family. Although I’m new to Rover, I’m committed to providing the highest level of care and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for evening walks, weekend walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’ll always treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in safe hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I currently work full time Monday to Friday. I am available most evenings and weekends for walks, overnight stays, drop ins and lots of fun! I absolutely love animals! No matter the size we will have lots of fun weather that’s walking, relaxing or playing. Your pet’s safety will always be my top priority. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep dogs on a lead unless you’ve specifically requested otherwise in a safe, secure area, avoid unsafe situations, make sure they always have access to fresh water, and ensure they receive plenty of love, attention, and exercise. I’ll also respect your home’s security by locking doors and gates and making sure your pet is safe and comfortable before I leave.

About: I have taken care of 2 dogs of my own and also 3 cats since I was 10. I have also looked after numerous neighbours and family members pets when they have gone on holidays. I am currently working full time but I finish work at 4 so I would have plenty of time after work to be able to walk your pets in the afternoon and evening I have a lot of experience walking pets in busy areas and also have experience walking pets on and off their leads. I have trained both of my own dogs to walk off their leads as well.

About: I’ve taken primary care of the family pets since I was 12, so 10 years now!, miss them like crazy now I’m student so far from home! I have petsitted for neighbours, friends, family members, and have dog walked for them too. New to ‘professional’ pet sitting but I hope my reliability, knowledge, and love for animals shines through in everything I do :) I’m a third year university student! so obviously when that starts again I have a few hours a week for lectures where I’m not available but other than that, I’m free! I’m super flexible so just let me know when you need me and I’ll have plenty of time to visit, care, or walk whoever needs it! I do not feel safe/comfortable boarding dogs where I live as it is a student accommodation. However I am attentive and a quick learner so will pick up quickly on safety/care requirements in your own home and respect your privacy if/when I am within it (I’m mostly focused on the pets anyway! haha). I’m familiar with the local area and many of the people (and dogs!) within it. I have an ID and references from friends/family available on request if you want me to prove my identity or my past experience (understandable!)

“Rebekah was beyond amazing with my two dogs. We had regular updates and the girls were so well cared for. I could not recommend highly enough!”

About: I am an animal lover who has had furry companions for most of my life. I’m currently a fourth year veterinary student who is very used to working around a range of different pets. Additionally I have a dog and 2 cats however with being so far from home during uni i definitely miss them and would love any opportunity to look after your pets!Email any preferences you have for your dog whilst they are in my care ie. any specific food they need or if you feel comfortable with your dog being off the lead etc. Currently my I am able to do evenings on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday due to uni commitments, however the rest of the days I’m available any time. I also have a car so I can easily get to your pet for any services you book. I’ll prioritise yours and your pets need when I’m pet sitting in your house, so that everyone if comfortable and well looked after. Having a car means I’m willing to drive to places which provide your dog with scenic and adventurous walks.

“I cannot tell you how amazing Isi has been. For the first time ever I felt like I didn’t have to worry about our Sid. Isi sent pictures and updates daily and nothing seemed too much trouble. Cannot recommend enough xx”
