“Cannot thank Sarah enough. She went above and beyond what we expected. A great process of being kept upto date with visits and the dogs wellbeing. This means so much too us epically with having a very old, deaf and partially blind dog then doesn't enjoy boarding kennels anymore. This allowed us to enjoy are break away without having to worry about are furbabies. Will definitely be seeking the services of Sarah again. Sarah thanky ou so much.”

“Grace has done a great job taking care of our cats. They can be quite nervous of new people and one needs extra care as she’s diabetic so also needed insulin injecting. Grace met all their needs and we’d highly recommend her, we’ll definitely book her again next time we go away!”

About: I have been looking after animals for most of my life, and would be happy to help with other peoples furry friends. I have a 3 legged cat and a young (ish) friendly dog. I like an active house, and am always happy to go out for extra walks, and will get out in any weather for some fresh air and a run around. I have experience with dogs of all ages and from small to large breed, and am confident and calm with nervous dogs or those who have come from rescue and need a little more special tlc. I can look after your loved furry friend Monday to Friday in the afternoons and evenings in term time with more flexibility in the school holidays. The family pets have the run of the house, and also have an outdoor run to go into when the weather is good. Our dog has a blast out in the woods in the morning before breakfast to work up an appetite and then a walk or run later in the day. We also have a large garden and attached woodland for exploring and to keep active brains busy
“Madison was absolutely amazing! After making a request last minute, she was able to come same day to get acquainted and arrangements sorted. All instructions were followed and she took fabulous care of my puppy and home. I always got updates from her and I always came home to a happy puppy. I couldn’t recommend her enough! I will definitely be using her services again. Thank you so much Madison❤️”

About: I’ve had years of experience dog sitting my neighbours, friends and colleagues fur babies, alongside this I have walked others dogs through word of mouth. I have trained 2 puppies including my own and have cared for my elderly childhood dog At the moment I am completely flexible but can be discussed in later weeks with my new job. I am always willing to change my schedule to fit your doggies in Within my home, I have my own puppy so everything is puppy proofed. I have a good sized garden with a large fence and gate, safety gates on my stairs and no cleaning products not safe to dogs.
About: I’ve had dogs within the family looking after them and giving them the care they need. I’ve looked after active, laidback, elderly and young dogs. The services I offer are 1:1 & group walking (if in the same area and the dogs get a long with each other) the walks are tailored to each dog and I sometimes take them in the car to go explore new areas for them to sniff. I’ve worked in kennels and a dog daycare in the past so have good experience with different dogs. I’m available most of the days if there isn’t another pet sit booked but this can be discussed further when bookings come up, the dogs are tend to be left for 4 - 5hrs at a time and then I stay with them for an hour before I go back out again. My schedule varies week to week depending on what I’ve got booked in that day. I am happy to fit in your dog in the surrounding area and give them the best care. Whilst pet sitting in your own home I ensure that the dogs routine is followed. I will take in your post and on my departure I’ll ensure that you home is left clean and tidy.

“Emily made us feel at ease and worry free when leaving our cats for a few weeks. She updated us on her visits and sent pictures so we could see how they were doing and put our mind at ease.”

“So glad I discovered Kelly. My cat, Barry, and I instantly bonded with her. I got some lovely and amusing updates, with some great photos. I think Barry took a real shine to her & was subsequently quite disappointed to see me walk through the door upon my return. Kelly was happy to stay over her allotted time to make sure Barry had everything he needed. Communication has been great. Really happy with the service provided. I have already rebooked Kelly & have no issues in using her again if required in the future…..I know Barry will be delighted 😀”

About: As a lifelong dog enthusiast, I've traveled the world volunteering and caring for pups. This has been for friends, family and neighbours in Hong-Kong, Nepal, Brunei and the United Kingdom! Additionally, for the past 2 years, I've been an active volunteer on 'Borrow My Doggy', where I've found great joy in dog-sitting and walking my furry friends. While I don't have any pets of my own, spending time with dogs brings me immeasurable happiness. Their energy, loyalty, and companionship are unmatched, and I'm committed to providing them with the best care possible. I have glowing references from trusted owners who can attest to my exceptional dog-sitting abilities, so you can rest assured your beloved pooch is in loving hands with me. Due to a recent lay off from work, my current schedule is very flexible, as a result I am able to provide unparalleled comfort & convenience in caring for your beloved pet. As a result, I can most definitely house sit and dog walk your precious pet any day of the week, 7 days a week and anytime! In fact, I can 100% guarantee that I can adapt to YOUR schedule with ease. Currently, I am living in a spacious apartment enclosed with a private balcony. I only live with my boyfriend and we have no pets. I live seconds away from Clapham Junction one of the biggest train stations in the UK, therefore I have no issues with travel to and from my apartment. Additionally, my apartment is extremely dog friendly and I live next to countless parks with Battersea Park being the most popular one for dogs of all kinds!
About: Starting early, I did work experience in a kennels and animal sanctuary at school and progressed on to Animal Care college at 16. Since then I've had my own animals from dogs to cats, chickens to rats...and looked after many others from dog walking to overnight stays. A qualified teacher now enjoying a slower pace of life! I'm self employed and work as a Jewellery designer and tutor so I am very flexible. I live in a beautiful area away from too many people and traffic. I'm a huge nature fan so I walk every day with my own dog and would love to have more company of the furry variety to enjoy my strolls! I have a 3 year old Border Collie who we had as a puppy from the dogs trust. We also have two cats, a Gecko and three chickens. We live on a private woodland estate. I work self employed so I'm flexible with timings however early mornings are tricky due to school runs. I generally work in my studio from 11-4 but again, I'm flexible. I have a Collie who you could say is spoilt, however I would say he's loved to bits! I also have two cats, one 14 and one 7 as well as 8 hens and 5 cockerels. Huge animal lover who prefers animals to people! 🤣
About: Since childhood, I have always had a family dog, so being around and caring for dogs has been a big part of my life. I’ve been volunteering most weekends at Holly Hedge Dog Sanctuary, whenever my work schedule allows. During my time there, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of dogs, each with different personalities and needs. This experience has not only shown my love for animals but has also helped me develop a strong confidence in looking after dogs and understanding their behavior. It's something I really enjoy and feel passionate about. My work schedule changes each week, so feel free to send me a message! Your dog will always be my top priority, and I will make sure to find time to give them the attention they deserve. I’m currently living in military accommodation on Catterick Camp. While my living area isn’t very spacious, I can guarantee that your dog will receive plenty of attention and care. I’ll make sure to take them out for walks in a secure and safe environment where they can enjoy themselves. Your dog's well-being is important to me, and I want to ensure they have the exercise, love and attention they need.
About: I’m very active and love walking. My fiance is also on rover so it’s something we both enjoy doing. My Dalmatian is a big softy and has never had any issues with any dogs or cats. As long as they are friendly with her she would always enjoy a play mate. One of us are always in the house and we are happy to cater for any special requests. We can assist with any training requirements. I can do hybrid working when required. I don’t work weekends at all. My fiance is also at home during the day so there is always somebody in the house. Callie gets a minimum of 2 walks a day. Happy to cater for any special requests I have a fenced garden and a backyard. I’ve got a very friendly Dalmatian that loves play dates. Wouldn’t ever need to leave the dog by themselves. Plenty of photos and videos with regular updates
“I was really worried leaving my wee kitty with a stranger. Lucy is an amazing petsitter. I had the possibily to meet her in person before my booking, which confirmed me I took the right choice. Thanks million for your time and help.”

“Helaina did two 30 minute visits to look after my Ruby. Ruby seemed to really warm to Helaina and seemed as though she had a good time. Ruby is an anxious puppy and Helaina really helped her come out of her shell a bit 😊 would definitely use Helaina again!”

About: I’ve had dogs around me since childhood, growing up with a black Labrador, Angel, and a Great Dane, Blue, so caring for dogs has always been a part of my life. While I can’t have a dog permanently right now, dog sitting is the next best thing! I’m very attentive and make sure every dog I care for feels right at home, safe and loved. I enjoy taking dogs on short or long walks based on their needs, and if they’re the cuddly type, I’m more than happy to pamper them with affection. Check out my testimonials to see how happy my furry clients (and their owners) have been! I work fully remotely so I am fully flexible on when you need pet care. This means I can have dogs with me on any day of the week, I am able to take them on walks before I start work online, on my lunch break and after work. My garden is fully fenced which they can run around in, I can cater for a crate in the house if needed, whatever they prefer. There are lots of great walking routes located around the house including a nature reserve just 5 minutes away. I drive so am able to take the dog's place/help with picking up and dropping off if needed. Please note the house is quite open plan so would prefer a crate to be available to use where possible.
