“I immediately felt that our cat was in safe hands with Zoey and she looked after him as if he were her own. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos and it was clear that our cat loved spending time with her. Would highly recommend!”
“I’ve trusted Rhiann with my cats twice now, and she’s been absolutely wonderful! She made sure they had fresh food and water, cleaned the litter box, and even handled a few little messes without hesitation. She also kept me updated with photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Your pets will be in loving hands!”
“My dog is old with ailments which requires extra care and attention and Stacey went above and beyond to care for him when I was away. Very communicative and gave me total confidence my dog is in good hands. I highly recommend Stacey and I will definitely rebook with her in the future. A+++”
About: Hi! I’m a caring and responsible dog lover who has been a dedicated dog owner since April 2020. Although I don’t have formal pet sitting experience, I have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs every day — including raising a few newborn puppies. This has made me especially patient, gentle, and attentive to dogs’ needs at every stage of life. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I will treat your dog like my own family member, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. Pet care is already part of my daily life as a dog owner, so I easily incorporate it into my routine. I am available after 4:30pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. I also work from home one day between Tuesday and Thursday, which means I can offer daytime care and keep your dog company instead of leaving them alone. I have a flexible schedule during these times and can provide reliable, attentive care, ensuring your pet receives plenty of companionship, supervision, and love. I specialise in caring for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. By keeping your pet in a familiar environment, I help reduce stress and maintain their normal routine. I carefully follow all instructions, stay attentive to their behaviour, and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times. This approach is especially beneficial for dogs who are anxious, shy, or simply prefer staying in their own space. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and video updates for your peace of mind.
“Crystal did a fantastic job at looking after my two kitties for the past few days! Sent regular updates, images/videos and had clear communication the entire time. I highly recommend, and we will be booking with Crystal again. 😊”
About: Since moving out of our respective family homes, we hugely miss our family dogs and do not have a dog of our own. We miss our precious pooches and therefore want to lend a hand to those in the local area by offering sitting and boarding others dogs who may need it. We have an average sized garden which is secure, plenty of places to walk, and a good sized kitchen/living area for larger dogs. We are firm believers that dogs need lots of cuddles and so do not mind them being on the sofa with us. We both work full time however 2 days a week each from home and so are flexible. With enough notice, we are at home most weekends. We have a fenced garden and plenty of indoor space for larger breeds where needed. We have two bedrooms upstairs and don’t mind dogs being on our furniture (given that those mucky paws are cleaned and dry).
About: I love my dogs more than life. I really believe these are not just pets, but family members and thus I know how heartbreaking it is when you have to leave your dog alone even for a quick run to the store. We would like to help your dog with not feeling alone. I am a dog mom of 2 miniature dachshunds and I know how horrible separation anxiety is, thus I would like to give your dog the possibility to ease the feeling. I do not leave my dogs alone, thus I am taking dog care extremely important. I am working hybrid. I will only offer daycare or boarding on days I am home with my own dogs. My dogs are very friendly and very playful. But an initial meeting is required to make sure everyone is happy. I go on 2 long walks daily out to exhaust them. We have plenty of toys and enjoy some cuddles as well as playtime together. I live in a house with a fenced garden and I installed a doggy door, so my dogs have access to it 24/7. As I have dachshunds, we have plenty of ramps and doggy steps to ensure their backs are protected. My dogs are fully vaccinated including kennel cough.
About: A caring family that have a love for animals. My wife and I have had dogs all of our lives and are excited to welcome your dogs in to ours too. We unfortunately lost our much loved dog last year and have since been caring for our families pets during breaks and holidays. We loved the joy these moments bring us. At least one of us is always home all day and the company of an animal makes every day better. Our back garden will offer ample toilet and play opportunities. I am home all day during the week. My children will be at school between 09:00 - 15:30. My children are animal lovers too and are responsible around them. We have a lovely fenced garden that can offer toilet and play opportunities for your animals. I also have years of experience in walking dogs.
About: I have grew up in what some people would call a zoo. I have had a dog/dogs around me since I was 7 years old. I currently have a staff cross that is 11 years old and he requires a lot of my time and attention and I love to give that to him. He is my world and if we could swap people of pets I would be more than happy. I currently work full-time but that only consists of 3 days a week. I spend the rest of my time ensuing my dog is well cared for. I love walking so I am always excited for a new adventure. I have a fenced garden and a 2 bedroom house so there is plenty of room for myself and my dog. He has his own beds and his own cupboard full of wonderful treats and food.
About: Reliable, caring, and deeply attentive. I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup needs a high-energy sprint to burn off steam or a patient, gentle stroll with plenty of sniff breaks, I tailor every walk to their unique personality and needs. I pride myself on punctuality, clear communication, and providing peace of mind to busy owners with regular photo updates. Your dog’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I have a lovely Jack Russell cross she is 16 years old we have had her as a rescue dog she came to us aged 5 so I am used to dealing with elderly dogs I’ve spent years supporting my husband with his business on a part-time basis, which has given me the flexibility to manage my time well and step in where I’m needed most. Now that I’m stepping away from that role, I have the freedom and availability to dedicate my full attention to caring for your pet—I take that responsibility seriously, and I’m ready to give your companion the reliable, loving care they deserve. When you can't be there, my goal is to make my short drop-in visit the absolute best part of your dog's day. I offer structured 30-to-45-minute visits designed to handle the essentials, burn off some energy, and give you total peace of mind.
About: I’ve been looking after dogs for friends and family for years, often for extended periods while they’re away on holiday. It’s not just quick check-ins, I regularly have dogs for full weeks at a time, so I’m very used to taking on full responsibility for their care and routine. I’ve cared for a mix of breeds, sizes, and personalities, from energetic dogs that need plenty of exercise and stimulation, to more relaxed or older dogs who prefer a slower pace and lots of comfort. What sets me apart is how naturally this fits into my lifestyle. I genuinely enjoy having dogs around, so they’re not just being “looked after”, they’re part of a calm, safe, and friendly environment where they get plenty of attention, affection, and consistency. I’m confident sticking to feeding schedules, walks, and any specific routines your dog is used to, and I understand how important it is for them to feel settled while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you know they’re happy and in good hands. I run my own business from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to prioritise pet care throughout the day. This means I can offer regular check-ins, walks, feeding, and plenty of quality time with your pet rather than just quick visits. Whether your dog needs exercise and routine, or your cat prefers a calm presence and consistency, I can easily adapt my schedule to suit them. Because I’m not tied to fixed working hours, I’m able to provide reliable, attentive care and be responsive to your pet’s needs. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I understand how important routine and environment are, especially for cats, and I make sure to keep everything as familiar and stress-free as possible. With lifelong experience caring for animals, including breeding cats and currently caring for a 15-year-old cat, I’m confident handling a range of needs from energetic dogs to more independent or senior pets. I’m comfortable following specific routines, including feeding, walking, litter care, and administering medication if required. I always take the time to understand each pet’s personality so they feel safe and settled. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing they’re in experienced, trustworthy hands.
About: I've taken care of dogs “professionally” ever since I’ve been 14 years old. This also doesn’t include the fact I have grown up with them during childhood. Neighbours, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I have a senior dog myself since she’s been a puppy I’ve been there for all her care and support necessary including surgery recovery. I am a student. Even if I’m not home which most likely I will be the whole time there will be a resposible adult home. I am completely available to board from Friday till Sunday with acceptions on weekdays. Sitting and walking can occur from weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed, kept separate, walks only on leashes and alone.
About: Ever since I was young I’ve loved growing up with pets, in the past few years I helped my elderly neighbours to walk and feed there cats and dogs on occasion even clean the chickens out! I work full time but I am more than willing to work around my days and shifts to accommodate your pets wants and needs at any hours. My work hours are Mondays 8-4 Tuesdays 8-4 Wednesdays 13:30 - 21:15 Fridays 05:30 - 13:30 and Saturdays 8-4. I am more than happy to visit early, late and on my lunch breaks. Your standard care approach. Feeding, walking, brush downs even the dreaded bath time we all fear! Unless its my cats then I wont force them in the bath 😁
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently own two Rottweilers and a German Shepherd and have grown up around Rottweilers and other large breeds throughout my life. My experience has given me confidence in handling strong, energetic dogs as well as understanding different personalities, temperaments and training needs. I am comfortable with large breeds, working breeds, puppies and senior dogs, and I know how important routine, exercise, patience and positive interactions are. Friends, family and neighbours have trusted me to care for their pets over the years, whether that involves walking, feeding, playtime, companionship or maintaining their normal routine while they're away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, loving and reliable environment where owners can feel confident that their pets are in experienced hands. Why I Love Dogs Dogs have always been a part of my family and daily life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that's going for walks, playing, training or simply giving them attention and companionship. Building trust with each dog and seeing them happy and comfortable is one of the most rewarding parts of caring for them. Skills ✓ Large breed experience ✓ Rottweiler experience ✓ German Shepherd experience ✓ Puppy care ✓ Senior dog care ✓ High-energy dogs ✓ Basic training reinforcement ✓ Comfortable with strong dogs on walks Caring for dogs is already part of my everyday life as I own two Rottweilers and a German Shepherd. I provide regular exercise, enrichment and companionship, and I have a Nissan Navara, allowing me to safely transport dogs to secure dog fields and walking locations for extra exercise and stimulation. I am committed to treating every dog as if they were my own. I provide a safe, structured and caring environment where dogs can feel comfortable and relaxed. With years of experience owning and handling large breeds, I am confident managing dogs of different sizes, ages and temperaments. I follow owners' routines closely, provide regular updates and can transport dogs safely for walks and visits to secure dog fields when appropriate. Your dog's safety and wellbeing will always be my priority.

Zoey looked after our cat Ted whilst we were on holiday. She clearly loves animals and we felt confident she would take good care of him. She sent us videos and photos whilst we were away so we could see he was getting on great. Would absolutely recommend her.
Adam drops in on my Chihuahuas three times a week, takes them out into the garden and spends time with them while I'm at work. He always goes above and beyond. He has been incredibly patient with my timid Chihuahua and has now won her over completely. It's lovely to receive photos and videos of them enjoying themselves in the garden. He's also been brilliant with my other Chihuahua, who has been a little poorly, giving him the medication and fluids he needs during the day. It really puts my mind at ease and I am very pleased with Adam's friendly, professional approach and excellent communication. I would wholeheartedly recommend Adam.
I am so happy with how Claire looked after my aged cat, Meem. She was so kind and thoughtful, making sure he had his medication and letting me know every day with texts and photos how he was doing. I had been really worried about leaving him, but it was a relief to have Claire look after him so well. I will definitely want Claire to look after Meem in the future and highly recommend her.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
