About: Hi there! 👋 I’m a proud mum of two amazing kids, two mischievous cats, one lovable Labrador … and a slightly grumpy husband who secretly adores them all. 🐾 By day, I work as a dedicated special needs teaching assistant, but in the evenings, early mornings, on weekends, and during school holidays, I’m your go-to pet sitter and dog walker! For the past few years, I’ve been caring for all kinds of furry (and not-so-furry) friends in my spare time—dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters—you name it. Animals are a big part of my life, and I treat every pet I care for like one of my own. Whether you're heading out of town or just need a helping hand, I'm here to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. If you think I can help, I’d love to hear from you—feel free to drop me a message anytime! I'm a full-time working mum and a dedicated special needs teaching assistant during the week—but caring for animals is a true passion of mine. I'm available for pet sitting and walks during weekends and school holidays, and I also offer daily drop-in visits, as long as I can come by in the early mornings or after work. Whether you need someone for regular check-ins, holiday care, or weekend companionship for your pets, I’ll always do my best to work around your schedule and give your furry friends the love and attention they deserve!

“Emilee walked my dog Pepper. We met up prior to the walk, communication was great, I could see when Pepper was picked up and dropped back home. Emilee also shared a few photos. Would definitely use again :)”


About: Hi! I’m a long-time animal lover with over 8 years of pet care experience—and a soft spot for furry (and feathery!) friends. It all started by helping out with my siblings’ pets whenever they were busy with work. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, cuddling, and making sure they didn’t get into too much mischief! Then friends started asking me to care for their pets too, and I’ve been the go-to pet sitter ever since. I even spent a year working as a carer for the elderly, which taught me how to be extra patient and gentle, all things that help when looking after pets with their own unique personalities. I've always wanted a job where I get to hang out with animals and give them the love and attention they deserve. That’s why I became a professional pet sitter because tail wags, happy purrs, and pet snuggles are my idea of a perfect day! I’m currently available 5 days a week, so your pet will get plenty of attention and care whenever you need it! With flexible availability and lots of free time, I’m ready to be your pet’s new best friend—whether it’s for daily visits, playtime, or longer stays. How I care for pets in a pet owner’s home depends on each pet’s needs, but my main goal I follow the owner’s instructions carefully. Whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, walks, playtime, or special routines to ensure I keep everything consistent. I make sure pets get plenty of attention and exercise, lots of cuddles, and a calm environment where they can relax. If I’m doing overnight stays, I stay attentive through the night and keep a watchful eye to make sure they’re comfortable and stress-free. I also update the owners regularly with photos or messages so they know their furry friends are in good hands. Every pet is different, so I always take time to get to know their personality and preferences to provide the best possible care.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and have grown up in a family where we have taken care of other peoples dogs. I love pets and I am very confident in my ability to care for them. I am currently working part time in a bar on the weekends and so I have spare time in the week so it fits perfectly in to my schedule. I have a good sized garden and a spacious downstairs area where they can roam freely. I also live very close to a big park where I can take your pooch for walkies

About: With over 8 years of caring for dogs, and currently sharing my home with three furry friends, I understand firsthand the joy and responsibility that comes with pet care. I treat every dog like family, offering personalized attention, plenty of love, and a safe, happy environment. Whether it’s energetic playtime or quiet cuddles, I tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs, because every pup deserves a sitter who truly gets them Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily life. Having grown up with dogs and currently caring for three of my own, I’m deeply familiar with their routines, needs, and personalities. Every day, I dedicate time to exercise, play, and cuddle with dogs, ensuring they get plenty of physical activity and emotional attention. Whether it’s a quick walk, a long play session, or just some calm downtime, I prioritize their well-being and happiness throughout the week. I’m flexible and committed to fitting pet care seamlessly around my schedule to provide consistent, loving, and reliable support to every dog I look after When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where dogs feel relaxed and happy. I provide regular meals, plenty of exercise, and lots of affection tailored to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I maintain a clean space with secure areas for rest and play, and I monitor their health and behavior closely to ensure they’re comfortable and stress-free. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their familiar surroundings and routines, helping them stay comfortable and secure. I follow all the owner’s instructions carefully, from feeding schedules to medication, and give them plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. My goal is to make both pets and their owners feel confident and at ease with the care I provide.

About: I've grown up with pets all my life and my love for animals outweighs anything else. I have just returned from 6 months in SE Asia mainly Bali, where I spent my days riding around on a scooter feeding strays and providing basic medical care to any I saw in need, I also started to walk a local dog that was kept on a chain, I cant bare to see animals suffer. I ended up rescuing two manurished pups off the streets which you can see in my photos and nursed them to good health, they are now back in the UK safe. I have my own adorable Cavapoochon who goes everywhere with me. Any animal I look after will be treated as if they were my own and will be doted on. I currently work in a school and my hours are short 8.30 - 1.30 however I am off for the summer holidays and looking for something to keep me busy. Due to recent return from travelling im residing back at my parents so I am able to pet sit knowing mine are taken care of. I will provide loving care for any animal, I am patient and that was shown with my rescues, one took weeks to come to me and I never pushed him for contact until he was ready. I will treat any pet I take care of as they were my own and will listen to each pet parents asks and wants for their beloved.

About: I am a dog lover since I was younger my parents always used to have dogs. I am also improving my skills further by doing a diploma in dog sitting and dog walking.

I have a friendly approach to dogs and love spending time outdoors, ensuring your pet gets plenty of exercise and play. My daughter also loves dogs, creating a nurturing environment for your furry friend; which is why I chose Rover, allowing me to not just care for your dog but also create memories with my daughter as we both love them as if they were ours..I’m committed to providing a safe and caring experience tailored to your pet’s needs.

About: I've had dogs since I was 4 and currently feed and walk a poodle puppy. I've trained this dog, and have looked after other dogs in my home. I work part time, but on my spare days and nights I can completely commit to looking after your pet. If required I can let you know of my schedule. I am an attentive caregiver and am attuned to the pets needs. I am willing to play with your pet if it wants! I have babysat children as well, and am well trusted.

About: I’ve looked after dogs for several years both my own and other people’s. I have experience with dogs of all ages and love looking after puppies as much as older dogs. I often work from home so I’m able to give dogs lots of love and attention, I have a large fenced garden and loads of toys for them to play with. A usual day involves long walks, playing in the house and garden, playing with toys and enrichment activities and lots of cuddles! The house is very secure with a gate and wall at the garden so when coming in and out there is no chance of a dog escaping. The house is a few minutes walk from a large field where we regularly take our dog and there are lots of other great walks nearby.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats through family and friends and truly enjoy their company! In a more professional capacity, I recently worked in a cat and dog shelter in Japan where I got to know over 100 different dogs. It was my role to help socialise them by going on walks, giving treats, teaching tricks, playing and brushing. I also helped to looked after over 40 cats and loved playing with them and contributed to the cleaning of both dog and cat living spaces. I work at a special educational needs setting and have August off due to the holidays. I have very little planned and would love to have some furry friends to take care of and to join me for walks in local areas! I have an outside space and very close local park for toileting. I love to be in the same room as dogs as I enjoy their companionship and like to be ready to play when they want to! I have a large living area to accommodate them.

Gabrian C.
“Gabrian is clearly a natural animal lover, and we have been extremely happy with the care he has provided for our 2 dogs and cat. Our dogs can be quite nervous and so it was lovely to see them bond with Gabrian so quickly. Gabrian has taken our dogs out for fun and safe walks, popped in to give toilet breaks, and offered top class pet sitting. We were able to go on holiday for a week with the comfort of knowing that our dogs were being comforted, cuddled, and walked... not forgetting lots of cuddles and love for our cat. He sent regular pictures of our dogs looking very happy on their walks and our pets looking relaxed at home. So lucky to have found such a responsible and loving pet caregiver. Highly recommend Gabrian!”
