2. Doriana K.
About: Hello, my name is Dori. Animals and nature are my biggest passion and I love spending time with them, I myself have 2 rescue dogs and a cat, they are a part of my family. I have studied BSc Zoology in England, and have worked with animals for 6 years now. I have experience working with pets, farm animals and exotic animals as well. I drive so getting to you wouldn't be a problem, plus I know all the best spots for dog walking. Besides dog walking I can also do pet sitting, puppy visits, pet taxi and more. When visiting your animal for the first time I will ask you about their personality, behaviour, health, age or any special needs to ensure they get a personalised care that will work for them. Let me know if you are looking for someone who adores animals and will treat them with patience, kindness and will make sure they have an enjoyable time :) I'm working part-time with a flexible schedule, which means I'm free most days. On Mondays I receive my schedule for the week, so it's not a problem fitting tou in. I offer dog walking which could either be in your local area, or I don't mind taking them into a park, the woods or similar if you'd like. I also offer pet sitting and puppy visits which will be in the safety of your own place.
3. Alice W.
“Alice was absolutely amazing at looking after our dog Nelson. She was conscientious, caring and attentive and she gave regular updates on how she was getting on. She made sure to ask the right questions about his care and was patient with Nelsons medication needs. She house sat for us and the house was beautifully clean and tidy on our return. We can’t thank Alice enough and would recommend her highly.”
4. Ashleigh B.
“Ashleigh was great with Pumpkin and Poppet. We had another dog sitter pull out last minute and Ashleigh happily stepped in and I’m so glad she did. She made my two rescues super comfortable and kept me updated. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
5. Ella B.
“Thank you will never be enough words to say! First time using Rover, I was anxious to leave my pooch. From the moment we started talking, Ella made me feel so at ease. When meeting my pooch, Ella was AMAZING especially with such a nervous dog. Thanks to Ella, we were able to have our pooch at our wedding, with assurance of someone looking after to enjoy the reception. Ella provided constant updates and assurance and our pooch was calm and content through the experience. Would highly recommend Ella for anyone looking for a dog sitter, we will certainly be using Ella again.”
6. Samantha M.
“Sam was amazing with Hunter, the daily pictures and updates on walks and snuggles showed that. So glad we have found Sam, will definitely recommend and will book again to look after Hunter”
7. Emily L.
“Emily looked after my pug Millie for a week while I was abroad and I was SO happy as she took such good care of her. Millie had regular walks, lots of cuddles, attention and I got lots of photo updates. She also administered her medication as she was a little sick before I left and there were no issues. My place was left immaculately clean - I will definitely be booking Emily in future again.”
8. Rhea-Leigh O.
“Rhea's communication was always quick and friendly and she immediately put me at ease as I was nervous about travelling and leaving my two fur babies with a stranger as they can both be quite shy. However, they immediately took to her and because they seemed so relaxed, I felt I could relax too. While I was away she kept me up to date with pictures and videos or anything that I needed to know. I can't recommend her enough. I will definitely use her again and I've recommended her to several friends. Thanks, Rhea!”
9. Courtney B.
“Courtney has been absolutely amazing from the get go. From the moment we met Courtney, she made us feel at ease about leaving our pups. Very attentive and communication has been fantastic, we have loved her the daily updates with picks and videos of how our lil pups have been and they looked like they have loved it! Would definitely be using Courtney in the future and definitely recommend to everyone :) thank you so much again Courtney! X”
10. Kayleigh A.
“Rocket loved Kayleigh and he was so relaxed with her in the photos cuddling up to her. Kayleigh listened to all my little requests which I was really grateful for and cared for him whilst I was away. Kept me updated and I felt calm knowing he was being well looked after. Will definitely ask her to sit for me again. Thanks Kayleigh!x”
11. Sunny F.
“Sunny has looked after my dog a few times, from when he was a puppy. He’s always super excited to see her, they have such a great time together & I get lots of photo updates. He’s always suffered with a sensitive tummy & she’s always been so accommodating with his dietary requirements. Would highly recommend, it’s obvious the amount of love she has for all animals!”
12. Ellisia C.
“Ellisia is the most caring, kind and generous person I know. She has a huge heart and always takes it upon herself to help any animal or person in need. She loves nature and goes to all the best dog walking spots to explore it. If I ever need somebody to look after my fur babies, she is my go to, there’s no one I trust more!”

14. Elisha M.
About: My love for animals developed from owning my own dogs continuously since a child and being around/looking after family and friends pets my whole life. At the moment I currently don’t own my own pet which after always having pets is why I feel the need to still care for animals and spend time with them. Whether it’s walking or sitting, I love meeting new furry friends and helping them feel safe and secure around unfamiliar environments/people, as well as giving them the love and care they need to feel comfortable. I work as a graphic designer as my job but will fit my availability around when I am free. Usually for full boarding it will be Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. I live within 2 minutes walking distance to the beach and common which holds both open and gated walking areas. Toilet breaks can be available whenever! There are no other pets in my own home, which might make your pet feel more at ease. I offer walks, boarding and home visits!
15. Kristine J.
“Kristine has looked after our cat on several occasions and she always provides excellent care. She follows the instructions left by us and communicates well, providing us with pictures and video calls with Ziggy. From her responsible and affectionate manner when dealing with our cat, it is clear that she has spent a lot of time with pets and has lots of love to give to animals. I feel safe trusting Kristine to take care of my pet and I 100% recommend her services.”
16. Jessica B.
“Jessica is a very reliable & responsible person. She is confident but very caring & is sensible. She has a genuine love for animals & is very kind hearted. She has stayed over at my house and looked after my 14 year old daughter over night and I had peace of mind knowing that she was in my home over seeing the welfare of my daughter as well as my two cats & two guinea pigs.”
17. Bethany C.
About: I am very experienced in pet care, especially dogs! I’ve had furry friends around me since I can remember! I also run a dog company with my sister “zoomies dog walking & sitting” so very experienced and I am always boarding dogs at my house or am house sitting at owners houses, aswell as taking care of my own resident dog Poppy!

I also offer house sitting at owners houses if this suits you and your dog better :) I let dogs have free run of the downstairs of my house and I also have a large completely closed in garden so lots of room to run around and lots of shady spots for them hotter days!
18. Nora P.
“Nora was amazing straight from the start. Our dog can be fearful of being left alone but Nora really put herself out to get to know our little dog. We were away for 4 nights and Nora regularly kept in touch, sending photos to reassure us that our dog was in safe hands. Chewy was soon going out walking with her and was obviously happy to be with her. Nora spent every night with him from late afternoon until mid morning the next day and he was clearly very happy. Would highly recommend this lovely lady.”
19. Ellie P.
“Thanks very much Ellie for doing such a great job of looking after Bailey, will definitely ask you to look after her again in the future!!!”
