About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs. Whilst I was at university, I began dog walking as a hobby — helping my neighbours care for their dogs during the day while also giving myself a reason to get outdoors and do something that truly made me happy. What started as a small pastime quickly became something I looked forward to every day. Since then, my love for dogs has only grown, and I’m now the proud owner of a cockapoo called Peggy. She’s incredibly friendly, loves meeting new furry friends, and is always happiest when she’s surrounded by other dogs. I currently work remotely, which means I have plenty of flexibility and time to give your pups the attention, play, and exercise they deserve. Having a dog of my own means I’m always ready for an adventurous walk, rain or shine! I’m also available for house sitting during the week or at weekends, and I’m happy to work around your needs to make sure your dog feels comfortable and well cared for. With plenty of experience caring for dogs in their own homes, I’m more than happy to stick closely to your dog’s usual routine to keep them calm, comfortable, and settled. If your pup enjoys playing and socialising, they’ll have a wonderful time spending the day with my friendly cockapoo, Peggy — she loves the company of other dogs! Above all, I’m always happy to follow your lead and care for your pet in the way that suits them best.

“My dog Kizzy was so excited to see Ashley each time he came to walk her so I knew she was very happy. You can tell Ashley loves dogs and I’d definitely book him again”

About: I have lived around Dogs and Cats all my life. I have a very caring nature, for the last 16 years I have lived and worked in Africa working on Conservation Projects., mainly Cheetah. I have experience with dog walking, I love to walk so long walks are no problem for me, house sitting and looking after your wonderful house and making sure it is clean and tidy, happy to water plants indoors and outside. I love looking after cats and giving them the necessary fuss and attention. I have also taken care of fish, rabbits, gerbils, guinea pigs. For housesitting I am happy to travel a distance. I am a non smoker and have my own car. Your house and pets would be looked after in a very caring way, you would not need to worry whilst away from them. I work from home so am very flexible with my time, ensuring I give your pet the greatest care and attention possible. Your pet will feel very welcomed and loved whilst you are away. I do not offer the service of having pets in my home. However, whilst I am in your home I will always check that the pet is safe.

“Jessica was fantastic, first time using Rover for dog walking. She communicated perfectly even brought my Amazon parcel in as I wasn’t home. Will definitely use Jessica again.”

About: Me and my partner Josh, 22 & 24 have had pets all of our lives and would love to take your pets in as our own! We have lots of free time in the day, plus being able to give your pets the holiday of a lifetime is so much fun :) Me and Josh won’t need to leave your pet on its own as there will always be one of us in the house based on our jobs. We both work away at different times of the year and this is a great opportunity for us to fill a pet sized whole in our life’s as a young couple. I have a fenced garden with lots of space to run around. Alarmed and CCTV house. More than happy to keep your pet in its normal routine and also happy to take for extra walks and special care as it’s your pets holiday too!

About: I'm a huge dog lover with experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. Over the years I've regularly dog sat and walked dogs for friends, including overnight stays in owners' homes and welcoming dogs into my own home for day care and overnight stays. One of my favourite walking companions is Milo, a friendly Cockapoo who loves long walks and is wonderful with my children. I enjoy getting outdoors and making sure dogs have the exercise, stimulation, and attention they need. I'm based in Rochford and love exploring the local area with dogs. Some of my favourite routes include walks along the River Roach, through Magnolia Park, and around the local green spaces nearby. I also live close to "Teletubby Land", a popular area where dogs can enjoy plenty of space to run and play. My current availability is Monday to Friday between 9:30am and 2:45pm, making me ideal for daytime walks while owners are at work or busy during the day. I can also offer some weekend availability. I understand how important it is to know your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for, and I will always treat them as if they were my own. My availability is currently Monday to Friday between 9:30am and 2:45pm, which fits perfectly with daytime dog walks, pet visits, and check-ins while owners are at work or away from home. I can also offer some weekend availability, depending on the date and requirements. As a local Rochford resident, I'm familiar with the surrounding area and can be flexible with walks and visits nearby. I aim to provide dependable, caring support for pets and their owners, and I'm always happy to discuss individual needs and schedules where possible. Your pet's safety, wellbeing, and happiness will always be my top priority. I take the time to get to know each pet's individual needs, routines, and personality so that they feel comfortable and secure while in my care. Whether it's a dog walk, a home visit, or a day stay, I'll ensure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and care. I live in a safe, family-friendly area in Rochford with a small garden and easy access to local walking routes and open spaces. My children are used to being around dogs and are always taught to be calm, gentle, and respectful around animals. One of our regular canine visitors, Milo the Cockapoo, gets on wonderfully with them and enjoys joining us on long walks. For cats, I understand that many prefer the comfort and familiarity of their own home and routine. During visits, I'll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, a clean litter tray, and as much attention—or personal space—as they prefer. Whether your cat is sociable and playful or more independent, I'll adapt to their needs and help them feel relaxed and cared for while you're away. I understand how important trust is when leaving your beloved pet with someone else, and I'll always treat your pets and your home with respect. I'm happy to provide updates and photos during visits or stays so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well looked after.

About: My partner, Bradley, and I have recently experienced walking dogs on ‘borrowmydog’, and I have 10+ years experience of looking after my cat - including solo overnight stays! I spent two weeks at a cattery for work experience in 2018 and am an avid animal lover. I’m looking to make more of a living from it to support my Master’s degree, and to have a furry friend to keep both my partner and I company on weekends! My partner (right picture) works full time so we treasure our weekends together, trying to enrich them with things that are important to us. I work part time alongside part time studying, so may be able to fit in dog walks in the weeks. During the weekend we like to go outside for the main hours of the day (we like to fit dog walking here across varied locations since we can both drive), but also love a cosy evening in snuggling on the sofa with a movie! In a pet owner’s home we would love to get as much information as possible as to where all relevant products are so we can be as prepared as possible for any scenario. We are very considerate guests, only using what we require and cleaning up exceptionally well after our stay. We are comfortable with dog walking on leads, unless the dog has excellent recall, since dog-on-dog interactions where the dog isn’t our own is harder to navigate if it turns too playful or even vicious.

About: I’m a caring and responsible dog lover with hands-on experience looking after dogs of different ages and personalities. I have dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy and loved. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, toilet breaks and giving plenty of attention and affection. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and any specific instructions you provide. I currently work full-time from home, but I have plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins and sitting on weekdays, as well as weekends. I’m happy to discuss specific dates and times to fit around your pet’s routine I have a secure, fenced garden and two friendly dogs of my own (1 dog is only part time), so your dog can have company if they are comfortable around other dogs. I will always prioritise their safety and follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks and any special instructions. I can also keep dogs separate or crate them if needed.

About: I am currently transitioning from a professional corporate career to dedicate myself fully to my passion for canine care. As a mother and a lifelong dog owner, I understand that your dog is a cherished member of your family. I bring a high level of organisation, reliability, and professional integrity to my work, ensuring your pet is safe and well cared for while you are away. ​My experience is built on years of personal ownership and caring for the pets of friends and family. I am experienced with a wide range of breeds, but I have a particular love for Jack Russell Terriers. I enjoy their spirited personalities and the unique energy they bring, and I am very comfortable managing the "terrier attitude" with patience and consistency. To ensure I provide the best possible care, I am currently studying for my Level 3 in K9 Care and Welfare (VTQ). I believe that a consistent, predictable routine is essential for a dog's well being. During a typical home visit or walk from your home, I start with a thorough safety check of your dog’s lead and harness. We will head out to local spots for exercise and mental stimulation. After our walk, I ensure paws are wiped, ticks are checked for, and fresh water is provided. If I am sitting at your home, I strictly follow your dog's feeding, walking and garden schedule to keep their stress levels low. Your dog’s safety and your home's security are my absolute priorities. ​Vetted and Insured: I am fully DBS checked and operate with comprehensive pet-sitting insurance. ​Emergency Prepared: I am VTQ K9 First Aid trained (and I carry a pet specific first aid kit on all walks. ​I pride myself on clear, professional communication and will provide you with regular photos and updates throughout our time together so you have total peace of mind. Pet care is a core part of my daily routine, and I’ve structured my day to ensure I’m available when dogs need me most. I dedicate two primary blocks of time to my furry clients: 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM for morning and midday exercise, and 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM for late afternoon walks. ​By keeping these windows consistent, I can provide reliable, on time visits that fit perfectly around my family commitments while ensuring your pup stays active and happy throughout the day. I believe trust is built through professional knowledge and genuine care. As a current student of the Level 3 Canine Care and Welfare qualification, I bring an academic understanding of dog behaviour and welfare to every walk. This helps me read body language effectively, ensuring your dog is always comfortable, happy, and stress free in my care. ​Your pet’s safety is my absolute priority: ​Emergency Preparedness: I am VTQ First Aid trained (in-person), meaning I have the practical skills to handle unexpected situations calmly and effectively. ​Home Security: I treat your home with the utmost respect, following all security protocols, ensuring gates are locked, and double-checking that your dog is settled and hydrated before I depart. ​Attentive Walking: I maintain full focus on your dog during our time together, staying alert to the environment and avoiding potential hazards or stressful encounters. ​I provide detailed updates and photos after every session, so you can have total peace of mind knowing your pup is in the hands of someone who truly understands and prioritises their well being.
