Holly has been looking after our Sadie almost weekly for midday drop-ins since she was a tiny puppy. Holly is reliable, punctual, friendly and Sadie adores her! She sends pictures from every visit which are so reassuring to receive. Holly has made dog ownership while working full time, so much less stressful and I would recommend her to anyone needing a bit of help! Thanks again Holly!

About: From having my own fur babies to caring for others, I have looked after many different dog breeds of lots of different ages. Some have been rescues with special needs. I am active and can run around with any dog but also love a cuddle on the sofa. I have a flexible job that allows me to work form him a lot of the time, as long as I do my hours is a day it doesn’t matter when they are done. I follow instructions so your dog routine continues seamlessly but can make decisions based on many years of experience. I can play and I can cuddle. All is welcome.

About: I’m a genuine animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities and sizes. Although I’m just starting out as a professional pet sitter, I’ve spent years looking after pets for friends, family, and neighbours. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from small to large breeds, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping them company while their owners are away. I also have plenty of experience with cats. I previously lived in a house share with a rescued cat, who I helped care for daily. My mum has a cat, and I regularly look after him whenever my mum is on holiday or when they come to visit me. In addition, I often help neighbours by providing house-sitting services for their cats — feeding them, cleaning litter trays, and spending time playing with them to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m responsible, reliable, and organised. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to look after your pet and make sure they feel relaxed, loved, and well looked after while you’re away. I work full time, but pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I’m available on weekends, and I also occasionally work from home, which gives me additional flexibility during the week. On working days, I’m happy to do house visits before or after work, and in many cases even during my lunch break. This allows me to provide consistent care such as feeding, playtime, litter tray cleaning, walks, and general check-ins. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure each pet receives reliable, attentive care and quality time. I understand how important routine is for animals, and I always aim to fit pet care around their needs while keeping owners updated and reassured. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and routine, whether I’m caring for them in my home or visiting them in their own home. The services I offer include feeding, playtime, walks, and cleaning litter trays. I make sure pets are well fed, exercised, mentally stimulated, and feel comfortable and relaxed while in my care. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special requirements. In my home, pets have access to a large, secure fenced garden where they can safely play, explore, and enjoy outdoor time. Indoors, I provide a calm and welcoming environment and make sure pets receive plenty of attention and companionship. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine so they feel secure. This includes feeding, walks or playtime, cleaning litter trays, and spending quality time with them to ensure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. My priority is always to make sure pets feel safe, entertained, and well cared for.

About: Been dog owners all our lives & often sit friends dogs. Love watching our friendly dog Roy play with other doggies :) Roy is a very friendly, if not some what excitable 4 year old who loves other dogs. I am at home all the time with Roy! Multiple walks a day and lots of playing in the house :) I can be very flexible with timings of walks, and letting dogs out at their home. I would love having more doggies in the home. I have a fenced back garden, and live close to lovely walks in the local area. I always make sure the dogs we looked after are well fed, well walked and get plenty of love and attention.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I understand that every dog has its own routine, personality, and needs, and I always adapt my care accordingly. What sets me apart is my calm, patient, and responsible approach. I am especially confident with: • Senior dogs who need gentle walks, medication reminders, and close observation • Anxious or shy dogs, giving them time to feel comfortable and safe • Puppies, supporting basic routines such as feeding schedules, toilet breaks, and leash manners I provide regular photo and video updates, so owners feel reassured while they are away. Safety, trust, and respecting the dog’s usual routine are my top priorities. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most relaxed and secure. I am available for daytime visits, regular walks, and overnight stays in my home. I plan my day to ensure dogs receive timely walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship, while maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible. I prioritise safety, trust, and a calm environment. I follow the owner’s instructions exactly, maintaining their dog’s usual routine for feeding, exercise, and rest. I make sure the home remains clean, organised, and safe, removing any potential hazards and ensuring that pets feel comfortable and relaxed.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the past 3 years now and have grown up having pets all my life. I love animals and am very comfortable being around them. I enjoy walking them, feeding them and playing with them. I believe we need our furry friends more than they need us. They are the most precious living things and deserve all the love and care in the world. Having a pet at home is second nature to me. I love animals so fitting pet care into my routine is something I look forward to doing. I am available full-time on the weekends. During the week, I work from home and my working hours are very flexible. Rest assured I will take care of your pets like they are my own. I am open to petsitting at my home or yours house, or to just come over as and when needed to feed, walk or play with them. My neighbourhood is very pet-friendly, with a big field and a country park just a 5 minute walk away. I provide lots of updates with pictures and videos. I check in regularly with owners throughout the pet boarding or sitting period with complete transparency.

About: I’ve had 30 years of experience of being a dog owner. Ranging from small breeds such as a westie to a Rottweiler. I regularly walk and sit my sisters Australian labradoodle. Pet care fits comfortably into my routine, allowing me to give your dog my full attention during visits and walks. I aim to be flexible where possible and communicate clearly about availability to ensure reliability and consistency. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my priority at all times. I follow routines carefully, respect feeding and medication instructions, and ensure secure handling on walks. I take a calm, attentive approach and always assess environments for safety. If your dog is comfortable travelling in the car, I’m happy to incorporate walks in nearby green spaces for variety and enrichment. Transport would always be discussed in advance and carried out safely. Clear communication is important to me, and I will keep you updated so you feel confident and reassured while your dog is in my care.

About: Hi, my name is Niki and I am a 34 year old experienced dog/cat/house sitter. Born and raised in London. I noticed my photo delivery percentage shows as 50% this has been on occasions when the owners have given me their WhatsApp number and we shared images as i didnt realise it was tracked on the app. I will send photos as much as you like. I take both dog and cat bookings, specialising in boarding in your home. This style of care is amazing as your pet is able to stay in their own environment whilst you are away, allowing them to be comfortable at home; stress free! Your booking could be for an evening, a week or even a month. My aim is to make your life easier, whilst giving you the security that your pet is in experienced, safe and loving hands. After graduating with a 2:1 in Marketing, design and Communication from University, I worked in corporate roles before deciding I wanted to live more holistically and work for myself. Growing up in a pet loving household, I have had lots of experience caring for pets over the years, personally and professionally. As I stay active I can offer long and short walks depending on the needs of your dog, with lots and lots of love thrown in. I am very easy going and am open to requests, so feel free to get in touch. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I am very relaxed and attentive when I have a booking. My priority during the stay is your pet; I make lots of time for long nature walks, cuddles and napping. When finalising your booking please provide me with information regarding your pets schedule, diet and habits, to ensure they happy and looked after whilst you are away. I am able to give full attention to your pet. My personal routine includes yoga and meditation other than this your pet is my priority I look after pets in your home, rather than in my home, so your pet will always be safe and comfortable, following your regular routine.

About: I've had my dog for 8 years (she's a gorgeous black lab!) and have taken care of her since she was a puppy. For the first two years of her life we attended gun dog training together so I have a good understanding of how to properly look after and train a puppy. Of course it goes without saying that plenty of love, cuddles, enrichment play and walks are also super important, something which I also have plenty of experience in! In particular my dog loves to play hide and seek with her toys around our house! I work fully remotely so I'm really able to cater to your pets needs and keep them company so they don't get lonely. I am very used to the routine of having a dog/pet so feel very comfortable with getting up early to let them out, taking them for a walk first thing in the morning etc. I can be super flexible with my job so I really can adopt your routine to keep your dog happy and calm with the consistency they're used to. I have a secure garden with a fence around the perimeter. There is a stream at the bottom but this is also fenced off securely.

About: As someone that has almost always worked from home, I've been looking after dogs for family and friends for more than five years, and I have my own dog Murphy, a sprocker spaniel, whom I could not be without. He absolutely LOVES running, is ball-obsessed and is learning to do agility! I work as a freelance translator. Working entirely from my laptop, it can be a lonely job; however, because I never meetings to attend or hour-by-hour deadlines to meet, it is very flexible. This is why I have decided to join Rover so that I can fit my work around doing something else that I love: looking after dogs! I will listen carefully to your dogs needs and respect any boundaries that you prefer. For example, I love my dog to pieces, but he's not allowed upstairs or fully on the sofa (front paws only!).

Sambor came and gave my dog time, care and play when I was at work - he always sent pictures and it was clear from first meeting that my dog felt happy and safe with him. Really grateful and would recommend.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. My love for them, combined with my passion for walking, led me to start my Dog Walking Business with my daughter, Holly. Before this, I spent 17 years as a nurse, caring for people with dedication and compassion. Now, I bring that same level of care and responsibility to the pets I look after. We offer more than just dog walking—we provide pet sitting and drop-in visits to ensure animals feel safe and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s a lively Labrador needing an energetic walk or a shy cat needing gentle reassurance at home, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My nursing background has given me a strong sense of responsibility and attention to detail, which I now apply to caring for animals, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well looked after. I am available Monday to Saturday 8am to 6pm but, I can be flexible if required. We can work out a schedule that suits you and your pet, as I know how important it is to continue with yours pet’s usual routine. I will be with your pet an all times either in your home, garden or when they are out and about having a walk, ensuring they are safe and happy at all times, as your dogs welfare is my priority.
