Personalised care for your dog or cat - Galloway

“Max had a brilliant few days stay with Kirsty. She took him on lovely country walks, played with him in the garden, provided loads of stimulation, looked after him as if he were her own, snuggled with him, and coped with his boundless excitability and energy. We cannot thank her enough for providing a real home from home and looking after him so well. We were provided with loads of great photos of Max and lots of updates about what he was up to and how he was. We would not hesitate to thoroughly recommend Kristy’s services, and will definitely be back again next year.”

“Michelle was absolutely wonderful. Nothing was too much for her. Our dog has a disability Michelle was so good and did more than we expected in caring for Mouse. I couldn’t thank her enough and her wonderful family. Thankyou”

About: We have around 2 years of experience caring for dogs through helping my mum with her dog-sitting business. We regularly help with feeding, walking, playtime and taking dogs to dog parks, and have experience with dogs of different sizes and personalities. We have had dogs since birth so we are very confident in looking after dogs. We have a large garden with a high, secure fence, giving dogs plenty of safe space to play and explore. We also have indoor rabbits, but they are kept separately in a secure, lockable room, so dogs will have no access to them. We’re responsible, caring and will treat every dog as if they were our own. Joseph and I work opposite shifts, so there will always be someone at home with your dog. There will never be a time where they are left alone.🐶❤️ We have a large, secure garden with a newly renovated, high and sturdy fence, with no gaps for even the cheekiest wee escape artists! 🐾 Our home is fully secured with CCTV covering the front, back and sides of the property, providing an extra layer of security. We also have indoor rabbits, but they are kept separately in a secure, lockable room that dogs cannot access. We love getting out for walks and are happy to explore anywhere, including taking dogs in the car for lovely scenic walks if they are comfortable travelling. We can also take dogs to secure doggy parks where they can safely run off the lead and have fun. At home, there will be plenty of playtime, whether that's indoor or out in the garden, as well as lots of cuddles and relaxing on the couch. We’ll always follow your dog’s routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. ❤️

“Fantastic. I've never used Rover before and this has been a great experience! Short notice and I was in a pinch, Paul came through for me like a hero! Paul was very polite and welcoming, we had a breif but informatice introduction as I dropped my pooch off and was respecful of my dog habbit requests. He looked after my dog very well, including sending occasional updates or pictures of the mischief my dog was getting up to. I think my dog thought she was at the Ritz! Paul is very responsive when it comes to communication. 10/10 satisfaction! I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Thanks Paul, 100% recommend!”

“Thank you so much for looking after toff, especially at such short notice. The updates were perfect, and he was clearly very happy to spend the week with boy Rebecca’s dogs. We would definitely use again, and I will try locate toffs off button so he is welcome back 🤣”

“Natalie did a fantastic job of looking after my wee Alfie boy he was treated like the spoiled wee pup that he is and Natalie sent regular pup dates Alfie was very happy once he got settled in and enjoyed his stay I would deffo recommend Natalie and her family to anyone looking for a pet sitter”

“Katy and Chris were fantastic! Ruby had such a good time while she stayed with them. She got on so well with her buddy Tiger their golden retriever. We felt very reassured throughout her stay because Katy was excellent at keeping in touch with us with pictures and updating us what they all got up to. Will definitely book again and highly recommend Katy and Chris for your furry friends :)”

“Amy made us feel so comfortable with leaving our dogs with her. She was easily able to follow our dogs routines ( medication, allergy accommodations, specialized diets) and provided us with cute pictures and updates every day. She was so communicative and our dogs loved playing in the backyard and being part of her pack! We feel so much more comfortable going on vacations now, knowing they are in Amy’s care.”

About: I am a young, fit individual who loves going on walks and spending time with animals🐾🏔️☺️ I can provide daily visits for dogs (or cats), dog walking, doggy day care or at times overnight boarding! For overnight boarding the dogs are allowed on the sofa, and there are lots of toys and balls to play with here too☺️ I have had dogs my whole life, starting with labradors and now border terriers. My own dog Teddy has a diagnosis of epilepsy so I am able to manage dogs with medical conditions well. I have access to a car and can drive to any appointments🚘 If my availability doesn’t suit, don’t hesitate to send a request or message anyways and I will see what I can do. My partner often helps me too if I am unavailable🥰 I currently work full time through a shift schedule. However I often have spare time on my hands during days off on which I would love to go a walk or help out other dog owners. I can also provide overnight boarding for well behaved, socialised dogs. When in someone else’s home I will respect any instructions given to me. I can bring my own dog on walks (if wanted) to keep company.

“Our 8yo Cockapoo had a ball staying with Joanna. Her stay there was everything that you would want for your dog. Staying in a family home in the country with excellent walks around the area. Joanna was very switched on to the habits and routines of my dog and I was confident that I was leaving her in good hands. Joanna was also very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times.”

“Wonderful dog sitters - our dog Flori had a wonderful time and kept us up to date with pictures and messages about how she was which was very helpful. Flori has lots of health issues and I felt really happy leaving her with Ellie and Adrian knowing they will take good care of her!”

“George looked after our cat Triss for two weeks while we were away on holiday and housesat for us. We’d never left her before so it was a bit stressful trying to find someone. George was brilliant from the meet and greet. He kept us updated twice daily throughout our trip (with many much-appreciated photos), looked after Triss perfectly and left the house wonderful as well! Absolutely fantastic, thank you very much!!”

“Paul was fantastic, completely set our mind at ease and our dog Barney clearly warmed to him quickly. First time leaving Barney with anyone else and would have no hesitation leaving him with Paul again- hopefully we will be able to in the future. Thanks so much Paul!”

“Amy, Luna, and Ray made our dog Eevie feel at home while we were away. 🩷 Amy sent us adorable and detailed updates. Will definitely have Eevie stay with them in the future!”

“Rebecca was welcoming and friendly. Communication was great. Poppy seemed to take to her on arrival which is unusual for my unsociable girl. I couldn't have asked for a better experience for Poppy's first time in day care. I'd certainly recommend Rebecca. Worth more stars.”

About: Having grown up on a farm, I'm lucky enough to have looked after animals of all shapes and sizes. In addition to my own lovely old Jack Russell I have a small holding which has approx 20 acres of deer fenced land where dogs can scamper about with out worry of getting out. I am dog first aid qualified, fully licenced and insured and here waiting for your dog to join us for their holiday while you enjoy yours! I work part time so only board dogs when I am off and free to give them plenty of walks and attention! When I'm home , I'm always out and about either walking my own dog or up at the fields tending to my other animals. I'm very flexible and easy going when it comes to caring for your dog. Furniture, beds, or crates...whatever they are used to they will get. All I ask in return is a house trained, fully vaccinated friendly dog who will be happy to share our space and get along with my very friendly old Jack Russell. Prior to overnight visits we do require a trial session, either a day or overnight stay to ensure your dog is going to be happy and settled with us.

“George is really responsive to any communication. Very kind and took the time to get to know our dog. She is not the easiest of dogs and George has been wonderful. We will be aiming to use him regularly.”

About: I have always grown up with animals in the house, particularly dogs. They're a part of the family. I qualified as a veterinary surgeon in 1997 and currently work as a veterinary acupuncturist. I worked in small animal practice for many years so animals and in particular dogs have, and always will be a very big part of me and my life. Due to family commitments I am unable to commit to the responsibility of a dog full time right now but I have lots of free time every day to care for your pet and enjoy walking in any weather. There are many varied walks available nearby from grassland to woods to beaches. Every pet that stays or visits will benefit from enrichment to their environment which includes scatter feeding, lickimats and sniff-aris (to name a few!) I can provide a variety of services depending on your needs - dog boarding, doggy day care, dog walking and drop in visits. I also provide care for cats and small furries. New owner/pet bookings will benefit from £15 off their first booking by clicking on this direct profile link https://www.rover.com/sit/kirsth40895 and entering the promotional code KIRSTH40895. I look forward to meeting you and your pets :) I currently work part time and have plenty of free time to offer professional individually tailored care for your pets. I offer small animal boarding, small animal daycare and dog walking on a daily basis, 7 days a week. I am available to house sit and care for your small animal/s but I am limited to weekends unless by prior arrangement. I am a qualified veterinary surgeon so your pet will be in very safe hands. During your small animal's visit or stay they become part of my family and will be treated as such.

About: I've been around Dogs all my life, from large dogs to tiny dogs. I have over 25 years experience and I am a patient loving person. I am currently working 3 days a week so I have plenty of spare time to help you out with your precious pets in your life. I am a trustworthy person and I'm here to respect your property and help you out with your pets. Whatever you need just message me and we can work it out.
