“Thank you so much to Mark and Sally-Ann for looking after my dogs. Lots of updates and they treated my dogs like their own giving lots of care and attention. Would highly recommend!”


About: My bond with dogs began unexpectedly—through rescuing an injured Chihuahua-Pomeranian mix. In November 2015, a small golden dog appeared at the entrance of my apartment building, walking only on his two front legs, almost like performing a circus act. After observing him, I realized he had no owner. Occasionally, when his hind legs touched the ground, he would let out a heart-wrenching whimper. I suspected he was injured and had come to seek help, but at the time, I didn’t know how to assist him properly. I immediately contacted a neighbour who had experience with dogs. We together took the injured dog to the hospital. The resilience and healing ability of animals is truly remarkable. After ten days of treatment, he recovered—he was able to walk using all four legs again, although still a bit unsteadily. From that moment on, he became a new member of my family. I prepared his meals with mashed chicken breast, carrots, broccoli, potatoes and eggs, which helped with his digestion and recovery. Before long, he made a full recovery and became my 7-year-old daughter’s beloved companion. Since then, I have rescued three more puppies, all of whom were once strays. They are the three you see in the photos: a black-and-white one named Spot, a tricolor one named Misu, and a golden-colored girl similar to a Golden Retriever named Fluffy. As they grew up, due to limited living space, I couldn’t keep them with me forever, so I had to make the difficult decision to find each of them a new, loving owner. I have been living and working in the UK for three years now, and I really miss the days when dogs surrounded me. When I worked, they would lie at my feet. When I curled up on the sofa to read, they would inevitably jump up and squeeze in beside me. When I cooked, of course, they had to follow me around, waiting for their share. What I loved most was taking them out for walks—they would chase each other across the grass, competing to fetch the tennis balls I threw far away. It was only today, when applying to become a pet sitter on Rover, that I realized with regret that I don’t have much photos of myself with my dogs (I found only one)! It’s almost unbelievable, but it’s true. I’m not someone who enjoys taking selfies, so I only kept many photos of my cats and dogs, or pictures of them with my daughter. I hope this doesn’t make you doubt my love for animals. So, if you want your dogs to feel happy and relaxed when you’re not around, let them come to my home. Just be careful—they might not want to go back with you afterward. My work schedule is flexible, and I can complete some tasks remotely, so your fur baby will always have my company. I love having them wander around freely and snuggle up next to me. I believe we’ll be great companions for each other. I live in a newly built apartment building, and it’s completely dry and not humid. There’s a grassy area downstairs where dogs can run around. Of course, I always keep them on a leash during walks to ensure their safety.

About: We have an Irish setter and Cocker spaniel since puppyhood who both bring us a lot of joy and love. We also have a Norfolk Terrier who is now 12 years old and is showing his age I'm currently enjoying retirement but would like to do a bit more with my life as my wife is still working. Animal sitting would fill this gap .Our fur babies go for walks twice per day and in the summer months we go hiking for a few hours. They get lots of cuddles and treats which if you choose me will be given to your precious ones

About: I have always loved dogs and have had my own dog for nearly 5 years. I've done all his training with him and thoroughly enjoy taking him on long adventurous walks in nature. We have a calm home with access to a fully secure garden. I am very active and happy to go on as many walks as your dog needs. I will also have my own small and very friendly dog. He loves a good game of tug or just running around playing chase. I will take plenty of pictures and update you about your dog as I know it takes a lot of trust to leave your dog in the care of someone. I am home every evening, weekend and school holidays. Early morning walks are something I very much enjoy. I work school hours so can be available anytime around this. I have a fully secure garden and plenty of parks nearby. I have my own small dog, Scruff, who is a 5 years old Yorkie/Jack Russell mix and always up for a play. I have two secondary school aged children who adore dogs and love to spend time with them, playing with toys, going on walks or just a good cuddle!

About: I have had dogs my entire life and I have experienced in caring for senior dogs for example give medicines and eye drops. I also have a Dog First Aid certificate so I have the ability to quickly observe, judge and act when something happens. I work as a Japanese language teacher at my home so I have plenty of time to look after your dog. I have a beautiful and friendly Frenchy young girl now and we walk together two or three times a day in a field which is just behind my house with lots of other dogs. Also, we sometimes walk other big fields near by and canal side at weekends. I strive to create a loving environment like a family where your dog feels comfy and happy. I would like to answer your question, so please don’t hesitate to ask me. My garden is fully fenced and safe, gives your dog plenty of space to play. I offer to care for your dog in detached house with a large secure fully fenced garden. I will as much as possible stick to your dog’s daily routine such as their dinner times, and sleeping environment. My dog sleeps in a crate every night and your dog can do their own thing.

About: With years of hands on experience with my own dogs, I treat every dog like my own- offering patience, love and reliable care. I focus on building trust, understanding each dog’s personality, and making their time away from you stress-free. I have retired early from a long teaching career so I now have time on my hands to pursue other pleasures in life. My time is pretty flexible now on a weekly basis for daily dog walks and short or longer dog boarding in our lovely home. Our home has a walled secure garden. Dogs are free to roam around downstairs and come and go into the garden as they please. The kitchen tends to be the favourite place as there’s a warm range cooker on at all times. I also have a crate for dogs if they need a little space or time out! I have two elderly mini schnauzer’s and a old black lab who are all very laid back!

“I was amazed by how quickly my dog settled down here (he can be quite the cry baby.) It was great to receive updates throughout the day, so reassuring. I picked up a happy, chilled out dog. Couldn't have asked for more! Thanks guys!”


“Our dog George had an amazing time with Katie and the others dogs she was sitting for. We had lots of updates throughout the day. He was shattered when I picked up, a sign of a fun filled active day! Thank you for having him”


About: I have been around animals all my life, grown up with cats, dogs and horses. Currently have 2 cats and 3 chickens. Available for day care, dog sitting and walks. Both myself and my partner work from home so there’s always someone around to keep your pet company, provide plenty of attention and keep them entertained! We are located close to endless fields so plenty of options for dog walks. We have a reasonably sized garden which is secure and fenced, so there is plenty of room for your pets to run around and play (or have a snooze in the shade!)

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs and currently help look after my family’s golden retriever. I’m used to taking dogs on walks, bathing them, and giving them lots of attention and love. I’ve also looked after dogs for family friends while they were on holiday, making sure they get the care and all the attention they need. What sets me apart is my experience with dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. I’m comfortable with giving medication and other specific needs. I’m currently working bank staff, meaning I’m very flexible. I’m free almost always from Monday-Friday and specific weekends as well. Any time of day and on short notice. I have a big fenced garden, and a very friendly and calm golden retriever to help keep your pup occupied. If preferred there is plenty of space in the house for the pup to be crated, or kept separate from the family dog.

“Orla had the loveliest day with Bodie as well as his humans!! She was tired after having new friends but very happy. She is looking forward to her next stay and play. Thank you for looking after her so well”


“Sandy is great! We just moved to the area and have been delighted to find a friend for Lars so quickly… attentive and friendly, it’s clear that Lars had a great time. We will absolutely book some more time with Sandy, you should too!”


“Laura was amazing with my slightly anxious cockapoo Ziggy, she took time to come and meet us before even bringing treats for him and sent lots of updates while I was out so I could see he was happy and having all the cuddles! Thank you so much, would 10/10 recommend xx”


“Amy and Tristan made me feel completely at ease from the moment I met them. They are friendly and caring and kept me updated throughout Koah’s stay. Koah came home happy and worn out after nice walks in the local woods! I would recommend and will definitely be using them again. Thank you!”


“Olivia took care of our puppy at short notice; she was really friendly and he came back so happy he didn't want to leave! Oliva gave regular updates on what he was doing throughout the day , which helped put out mind at ease. I will be 100% using Olivia again!”


About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my unique blend of experience and passion for all stages of a dog's life. I grew up around dogs and now that I have moved out I am really missing their company so would love to help out. I currently work from home so I will be at home nearly every day so I will be able to give my full attention to the animal. I have a fenced garden where the animals can go, however I love long walks so they will get plenty of outdoors time. We live in a one bed house so will have space for a crate

Gary B.Star Sitter
“I have known Gary for more than 30 years. I know him to be extremely kind and caring towards all animals at all times. He has a deep understanding and empathy towards animals and cannot do enough to care for them. He has 3 very happy dogs that he doats on and takes for endless walks.”


Laura S.
“Laura is a close friend and my running partner and regularly meet up for runs or walks with our dogs. We met during Covid as we lived near each other and would often pass each other during runs or at a council/ran dog park close by. Our dogs formed an instant friendship and would chase each other over the field. This was unusual as my dog, Saffie is a rescue dog and is very nervous around people and other dogs. She suffers from epilepsy and has minor attacks at least once a month. For this reason I need someone that not only I can trust but also Saffie trusts too As a result, Laura has subsequently looked after Saffie on many occasions, and she is always excited when we meet up for walks. (Saffie I mean). She would make an excellent dog sitter in my opinion”
