“Yevheniia took wonderful care of my small dog for a few days while we were on vacation. Right from the start, Yevheniia was very caring and made sure my pup had everything she needed. She kept us constantly updated while we were away, and our pup was incredibly well looked after. Thank you so much for looking after our pup! Would highly recommend.”


4. Lily S.

“Perfect! Lily was great and was brilliant with my Boston Terrier, Hero. Prior to the walk, we video chatted, in order to gain trust and she came across very well and I felt calmer about leaving Hero with her. I left a key and she fed, walked and cared for him. I felt good about leaving Hero with Lily and plan to leave Hero with her next week. Wonderful walker and very professional!”

12. Leigh D.
About: I have a little boy myself, he is 1 years old and would love him to socialise with new friends. Initially I would take your furry baby out alone so I can cater to their needs until I'm use to them and slowly introduce them to Blu my cockapoo. I will give them sole attention until you are comfortable me taking them out with other dogs if you wish. I am a 37 year old fun, loving individual. I love walking and seeing you furry friends enjoy the outdoor life outdoors. I will provide professional yet fun for both owners and pets and will give them the exercise they require. I am happy to do trial runs to see if we all suit and your babies enjoy my company. I am happy to pick up from you directly or to pick them up and drop them off according to your needs. Leaving them free flow in the house or crated if needed.

About: With seven years of hands-on experience caring for my beloved dogs Monty, Rosie and Murphy, I bring a deep understanding of canine needs and behavior. Every day, I have walked, fed, and looked after my dogs, ensuring they lead a happy and healthy life. My commitment to their well-being has honed my skills in providing attentive, reliable, and loving care. Now, I'm excited to extend that same level of dedication to your furry friends as a professional dog sitter. I’m free all week and most weekends. Will let you know if I’m not available any days for any reason. Will be your go to person if you need a quick dog sitter I have a fully fenced garden and a very safe environment inside my house. Lots of comfy beds and sofas for your dogs to enjoy


14. Ptolemy R.
“Ptolemy is a responsible and reliable person who has cared for my dog on a number of occasions. Being an outdoorsy chap he loves walking and isn’t deterred by the elements, taking care of to dry my dog when they have been out in the rain. He seems to have a natural affinity with both dogs and cats.”


15. Elisha T.
“Elisha has looked after our 3 dogs and 2 cats numerous times when we have gone on holiday or for weekends away. I always feel completely relaxed knowing they are at home with Elisha. She adores animals and I would highly recommend her to look after your animals. Rest assured they will be in great hands.”


16. cheryl l.

“Cheryl came to meet Corny before his first walk with her which put my mind at ease, he can be quite anxious with strangers but seemed to have a good time out and about, and playing ball at the park with Cheryl.”


17. Giz B.
“As a pet owner, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust when leaving your pug in someone else’s care. Personally, I’ve never had any doubts leaving my dog with Giz. She loves and cares for animals just as much as I do, and you can tell she truly enjoys spending time with them. Giz goes above and beyond by not only taking my dog on long walks but also ensuring she gets plenty of playtime and attention, building a genuine connection.”


18. yasman a.
About: I've the experience of taking care of 2 cute cats and my parent's dog for more than 4 years. Those were my real kids to be honest! I'm currently a master student, I'm free for all the days of the week except for Monday and Thursday's morning. I would be more than happy to take care of pets in my weekends I would be responsible for watching them to make sure nothing threatens them. It's not only about having food, water or showering regularly, but also for watching them not to get out or biting anything dangerous!


19. Bogdan-Alexandru D.

“Alex has been a wonderful dog walker for Milo. I had someone let me down last minute and at a few clicks I had Alex booked and he has been super reliable, friendly and great with our young dog. He listened to our training schedule and we had no issues with Milo leaving the house with him, which for a puppy who is dependent on us is a God send. We will be using Alex again and thank him for being so kind, reliable and loving to Milo.”


20. Renos P.
“I highly recommend Renos as a pet sitter and dog walker on Rover! He is a caring, responsible, and trustworthy person who truly loves animals. His patience and attentiveness ensure that every pet feels safe and loved. He has always been great with dogs, making sure they get the exercise, affection, and care they need. Any pet parent would be lucky to have Renos looking after their furry friend!”
