Pet Sitting Rutland

“Angie was absolutely amazing with our cat Chandler. From the very first visit, it was clear she genuinely cares and takes her responsibility seriously. She kept us updated during every drop-in with messages and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Chandler was clearly comfortable and well looked after, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. We would 100% book Angie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful sitter.”

About: I have just completed my undergraduate degree in social work. I have grown up with dogs and cats all my life and looking after them is now just second nature to me. Back at home I have three dogs, Two Jack Russells and Border Collie cross; a very busy household! I have has caring responsibilities all my life growing up with these animals as we've never been without a dog in the house. I also have a cat, and so am familiar with looking after feline friends too! I am currently working a part time job in a social care sector. I am currently working a part time job, in a social care sector Wednesday to Friday. So am available Saturday to Tuesday to help look after your furry friends. I am honest and reliable, with great experience walking and keeping dogs entertained. I am looking forward to meeting your pets and getting to know their wonderful personalities.

“We had our first drop-in session with Simon today, and it was a very positive experience. I’ve only ever left our Boston Terrier, Edie, at a kennel because she can be a real handful; a novice would definitely struggle with her high energy and strong prey drive. However, Simon was an absolute expert in his interactions with her and handled her with ease. He was highly professional, eager to learn Edie's quirks, and more than happy to follow our specific routines. Beyond his responsibility, he’s been incredibly kind, patient, and understanding in all of our interactions. Edie thoroughly enjoyed their time together and was as happy as a clam when I collected her! I plan on leaving her with him again soon and I’m very pleased to have found him on Rover.”

About: I have had cats for as long as I can remember, growing up with them from a very young age. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their behaviour, personalities, and individual needs. Currently, I have three cats of my own and two dogs, so caring for multiple cats and managing different temperaments is something I’m very comfortable with. I absolutely love cats—honestly, I’m a bit obsessed. I enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s playing with energetic kittens or giving gentle attention to older, more relaxed cats. I’m experienced with cats at all stages of life, from young, playful kittens to senior cats who may need a quieter, more attentive approach. I’m committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for any cat in my care. I understand that every cat is different, and I’m more than happy to accommodate their individual routines, preferences, and needs—whether that means sticking to specific feeding schedules, administering basic care, or simply giving them the space or affection they require to feel at ease I have a fairly flexible routine that allows me to provide attentive care. During the week (Monday to Friday), I mostly work in the evenings, while on weekends I typically work in the mornings. Outside of these hours, I’m available and able to dedicate time to caring for pets. I’m also more than happy to be flexible and work around my schedule to suit specific needs, ensuring each cat receives the time, attention, and care they require. In my home, I make sure every cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. They’ll have a warm and cosy environment with access to food bowls, a water fountain, and soft cat beds with blankets—although they’re more than welcome to join me on the bed if that’s what they prefer. I provide clean litter trays (one upstairs and one downstairs) to keep things convenient and hygienic. There are plenty of toys and treats to keep them entertained and happy, as well as two cat trees for climbing, scratching, and relaxing. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I always aim to stick closely to their usual routine so they feel as settled as possible. I’ll follow all instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding schedules, playtime, or giving them space, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

“Perfect. Came over before hand and met our puppy. Made sure our puppy was was fed and pooped. Overall very happy. Will use again.”

About: Hi, my name is Sim, I'm 25 years old, I work full time but on shifts so I have a range of availability based upon my shift patterns. I've got experience in sitting and walking different breeds, and I'm a big breed lover having my own 3 at home! (3 German shepherds!) Currently I do occasionally dog sit for friends and family, typically their dogs stay over with my 3 dogs who love having friends over! So what sets me apart from other walkers and sitters? Well, I love dogs, I've had 5 years of experience (on and off), all my dogs have been adopted and rehomed - so I've worked with a variety of different dogs with different needs. Recently fostering a dog for 3 months and got her trained up before she went to her new home which she's succeeding in! I own a car so I'm happy to travel. And with your permission if you leave your dog with me over night or for a few days, I can take them to locations such as the Peak District to get some quality time in, otherwise to the local parks and nature reserves. 😁 I do have a really big garden which is fenced off. If we require use of a create then we can encourage that with your dog, we just request to provide a bed or item that your dog is currently familiar with to keep in the crate if crate time is required, we want to keep the environment as familiar as possible to help reduce anxiety. My house has multiple cameras situated throughout the property, inside and outside for peace of mind. I work full time but I work different shifts weekly but I know what I'm working well in advance, and I have my partner to lend a hand. Large garden fenced off, cameras around the house and the outside the house so we have eyes on the property at all times. But someone will always be home.

“First time we have used the Rover app for looking after our two cats and couldn’t recommend Oscar enough. Loved getting photos while we were away. I think Theo was gutted when we got home!”

About: I am currently looking after a dog for a friend on a weekly basis, often going to the park, looking after him overnight, and sometimes day trips. I have raised my family dog since he was a puppy, so am fully aware of what that entails. When I go back home, I walk and take care of him. I live with my boyfriend who has had cats in the past, so I am used to having them in the house and how to take care of them. With this, I have lots of experience of walking, feeding, bathing, and keeping pets happy! I'm currently working from home full-time, so can look after pets at any time! My hours are also very flexible so I'm able to go for walks during my working day. I live in a flat, with a secure back garden that is fenced in. The front door to the flat block is always kept locked. I am happy to do whatever is needed to keep your pet safe and happy!

About: I have worked at animal sanctuary for the past few years caring for dogs, goats, sheep, pigs and many more, a reference can be provided if wanted :). So far I have dog sat for Arthur- bulldog Max- Pug Mabel- Pug Lottie- Pug Niko- Shih Tzu Nala- Shih Tzu Buster- Spinger spaniel Walt- German shepherd I am currently studying at NTU and happy to do evening and weekends, I also offer long stays during term period. My days off are also weds and Friday. While looking after animals they have my full attention to ensure they are monitored properly to prevent unsafe environments. Making sure they are fed at the correct times, walked for the right amount of time depending on their needs and let out enough times during the day/night.

“Catherine took good care of my cat Peanut! He was well fed and happy when we got back from our trip😄 Would definitely use her again in future!”

About: I have had many different specs of animals through my walks of life. I pride myself in caring for them to my best abilities. Your pet will be well cared for! I work from home so have a lot of time for caring, from the moment I wake up I love being around animals. Their routines fit well into my daily life. I will provide daily updates, pictures and videos. Also full run down after the stay/walk. I currently do not have a garden but have a small front outside area that I can offer short supervised outside exploration multiple times days. I sit for my families cats and they prefer in a new environment the cats remain inside, for safety, apart from a sniff round the front area. Inside they have roam of the house apart from my bedroom in which I have my pets. I can offer a lot of safe indoor play/activities or none at all- whatever your pet prefers! For walking- I live near a big woodland park to provide long walks.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and have always been a big animal lover. I always am first to volunteer to look after family & friends dogs - I have a lot of love to give! I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement, which I use to help dogs feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s energetic puppies who need structure or older dogs who need gentler care, I know how to adapt to their needs. Having raised two dogs of my own with my parents, I treat every pup as if they’re family ◡̈ Right now, I do work a 8.30-5 Mon-Fri job, however I can give your pets plenty of time and attention when I am not working whether that be in the evenings or at weekends. I love spending time with animals, please message me if you would like my help and we can discuss! Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or longer visits, I can be there when you and your pets need me most. I’m more than happy to look after your pets in the comfort of their home. This way, they can stay in a familiar environment and keep to their usual routine. I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise with walks in their local area, along with playtime, cuddles, feeding, and anything else they need to feel safe and happy while you’re away.

About: I’ve been involved with animals ever since I can remember! From owning 3 horses and 2 beloved rescue dogs! I know how to adapt and change to each animal understanding not all of them are the same. I am also a qualified nurse so from my animal experience and nursing experience I’ve learnt how to communicate with both owner and animal. I work as an nurse as hoc and have enjoyed taking a break from the hospital!! And I have a wide range of availability and will most likely be free! I can communicate effectively with you the owner to understand where your pet is allowed. From owning two rescue dogs I’m also aware of certain dogs being afraid or aggressive to other dogs so I would walk on other side of the path to keep dogs away. I have had a huge experience around poorly pets- My current rescue has to have regular medication including injections and eye drops, I have also had experience with strokes amongst dogs and post operative care. My being a vet has enabled me to pick up critical information for dealing with emergency’s and the general health and well being of animals. I am also aware that dogs love company and like other dogs so I’m suited to all pet needs. I also give great cuddles and I seem to have a good track record with pets and they seem to always want more! I have plenty of time to play with your pups or cats due to being a newly graduate from university. I am available weekdays, weekends and all times of the day. I will ensure your dog remains in eye contact to make sure there’s no escapes. My sister is a qualified vet and my experience and knowledge of emergency care has grown from her. I will have your vets contact number in my phone before any visit/sitting.

About: hello! i am based near Bourne and have just moved back from Sheffield where I was living after university. During my time at university, i felt lonely and homesick from all my animals back home so i downloaded Rover for some animal company and met the best furry friends ever! I have decided to keep the app whilst having moved from sheffield as I wish to continue my furry friend journey :) i do drive aswell which is a bonus! i work for BMW but have aspirations to become a primary school teacher one day and as much as I adore working with children, I love spending time with animals too! i work from 8:30am to 5:30pm everyday and have the weekends free which could be spent entertaining and looking after your furry child/children instead of scrolling through tiktok hehe i feel as the best person to trust with your pet would be someone who’s grown up on a mini farm around all sorts of animals. At my parent’s home i have 2 dogs, 5 cats and 4 sassy chickens (mine is called dora the eggsplora). I love walking the dogs at home through the countryside and changing the chicken run aswell as making sure all animals have food and water. these responsibilities never feel like chores!

About: I have over 15 years of personal experience caring for my own dogs, alongside 3 years of professional experience running my own freelance dog walking and house sitting business. My professional experience started by looking after the dogs and homes of family friends and naturally grew through word of mouth, eventually building up to around 10 regular clients. I ran the business alongside working full time, providing dog walks and house sitting in my spare time. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, breeds, shapes and sizes, and I’m confident adapting to each dog’s individual personality, routine and needs. I also have experience caring for dogs requiring additional support. My own dog recovered from back surgery, and I provided her medication and physiotherapy throughout her recovery, giving me valuable hands on experience with rehabilitation and dogs needing extra patience and care. I’m now focusing on dog walking and pet care full time, meaning I have excellent availability and can dedicate my time to providing the best possible care for your pets. I’m also able to offer pet sitting at my home, where I live on a 500 acre estate with lots of beautiful fields and countryside surrounding the house, making it an excellent area for dog walking and exploring. I have a friendly Cocker Spaniel of my own who loves meeting new dogs and making new friends. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a gentle stroll, daytime care, overnight sitting or a home from home stay, I’ll provide reliable, attentive and loving care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pet, and I’ll treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. Pet care is now my main focus, so I have excellent availability throughout the week. I’m able to fit walks, drop-in visits and house sitting around each dog’s individual routine and needs. I also offer pet sitting at my home, where I have plenty of space and countryside to enjoy. I’m flexible with timings and can give your dog the time, attention and care they need. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual routine, personality and needs. In an owner’s home, I keep to their usual routine as closely as possible, including walks, feeding, playtime, medication and plenty of company. When pets stay in my home, I provide a calm, comfortable and friendly environment. I live on a 500 acre estate with lots of surrounding fields and countryside, giving dogs plenty of opportunities for walks and exercise. I also have a friendly Cocker Spaniel who loves meeting new dogs. Most importantly, I make sure every pet feels safe, settled and well cared for while they’re with me.

About: I have dog and cat-sat since I was 12, including elderly cats, for my neighbours as well as being brought up with 7 dogs, I also have my own cat right now who I have had since being a kitten thus giving me experience with babies. In terms of dogs I have taken care of a Jack Russel puppy, a Golden Lab, Dalmatian and Shih Tzu's. I have also been in households with dogs and cats at the same time, which has given me experience with handling multiple animals and different animals at the same time. I currently am seeking part-time employment to save up for uni, but I am unemployed as of right now. I also have a car so I am free to travel and as a student on summer break I have much free-time and any plans which do come up are always flexible around your needs. I can always be trusted in your home as a long-term pet sitter and babysitter as well as previously working in two school environments. I have plenty of training on safety as well as the communication skills and experience to understand your needs from me.
