About: I work from home so I am available 24/7 to care for your pets. I have a garden for them to run around and chill out in which is secure and can be accessed all day. I am the animal sitter in my friend group so have experience looking after, dogs, cats, rabbits and horses. I work full time but at home and have flexibility with my calendar so I am able to meet your pets needs from walking, attention, feeding them or just giving attention. I can provide different levels of safety depending on your pet and requirements. The house is secure and I have a fenced garden where they can explore at their own pace.

“I genuinely couldn’t recommend Athena enough! From the moment Dug went to stay, she completely put my mind at ease with so many lovely updates and the most beautiful photos of him clearly having the absolute time of his life. It was obvious how well cared for, comfortable and thoroughly spoiled he was, to the point where I genuinely wasn’t convinced he wanted to come home with us 😂 Knowing he was being looked after by someone who clearly treats the dogs in her care like her own made such a difference. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to leave Dug with Athena again, and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their dog. Absolutely amazing! 🧡”

“Maisie did an amazing job with boarding little Crumpet. This was our first time boarding and Maisie kept us fully updated about Crumpet's progress and also ensured she kept to her routine. It looks like Crumpet had a good time and settled in quickly. We will defo be utilising Maisie again.”

“Jack looked after my 2 doggos for the weekend recently. He was super friendly, professional and accommodating. They both settled in right away and had the best weekend away. We had updates and pictures sent throughout the weekend which helped as this was only the 2nd time we'd been away without our fur babies. Would definitely use Jack again. Thanks mate!”

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, especially dogs and cats. I grew up with an Alsatian and, as soon as I moved into my own home at 18, I adopted my first cat. My husband shares my love of animals, and together we have a home full of furry family members! We have two beautiful cats (both aged 5), our wonderful 14-year-old Jack Russell cross, Rocky, who still thinks he's a puppy, and our affectionate 11-month-old Labrador, Sonny. Despite his size, Sonny is incredibly gentle, friendly and loves both people and other animals. I work part-time for the NHS, which has helped me develop responsibility, reliability and a caring nature. When your pet is with us, they'll be treated as part of the family, with plenty of love, attention and care. My husband is home every other week, so there's often someone around to keep your pet company. We also have two children, aged 13 and 10, who have grown up surrounded by animals. They are kind, gentle and respectful around pets and absolutely love helping to care for them. Over the years I've looked after pets for friends and family, and they've often encouraged me to join Rover because they know how much I enjoy caring for animals. Having trained Sonny from a puppy, I'm also happy to reinforce basic training and routines if you'd like me to. I'm also happy to administer medication (oral or topical) if your pet requires it, as long as I'm given clear instructions. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I'll do everything I can to ensure they feel safe, comfortable and settled while in my care. I know that leaving your pet with someone else can feel daunting, so I'll keep you updated with regular messages, photos and videos, giving you complete peace of mind while you're away. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pet. If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to get in touch! Im currently working part time, usually a Tuesday and a Thursday, however my husband is home alot. I often home work also. I can help most days/weekends. Just message me ☺️ I have a very large garden with lots of doggy toys etc! A large fence and wall. My labrador is very safe in my garden. I also have CCTV outside both front and back. If you need me to visit your home I am extremely tidy, clean and responsible. Safety is my main priority for your furry friend.

“Matthew looked after our Maltese dog chica for 2 nights and we were very comfortable leaving her in his care. We received updates and photos and Chica clearly had a stress free and comfortable stay with Matthew and his family and we would be 100% happy to leave her with them again. Thanks a lot for taking such good care of her”

About: I have taken care of dogs all my life I have cared for many different breeds and have worked with military dogs and prison service dogs I work shifts so I have multiple days and nights off during the week and on weekends, I can usually fit your per care needs around my work life balance I have a high fenced garden with plenty of room and grass to run around in I also have my own ex working dog in the home to keep any of your dogs company however if your pet does not see eye to eye without other dogs we have the facilities to keep them separated.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life and caring for them comes naturally. Until recently, I cared for my own rescue Labrador, Brodie, who brought so much joy to our home. Caring for him, including during his final months, taught me the importance of patience, routine, compassion and understanding every dog’s individual needs. I have a safe, loving home with a fully enclosed, secure garden where dogs can play and relax. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa or simply a quiet place to unwind, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust, and I’ll make sure they’re happy, safe and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home, which means I’m able to provide flexible, attentive care throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of company, regular toilet breaks, playtime and affection. I can easily follow your dog’s usual routine, whether that’s scheduled walks, medication, feeding times or simply enjoying a calm, loving home environment. My aim is to make your dog feel as relaxed and comfortable as they do in their own home. Your dog’s safety and happiness will always come first. I have a secure, fully enclosed garden where dogs can play safely, along with a clean, pet-friendly home where they’re treated as part of the family. Having recently lost my beloved rescue Labrador, Brodie, our home has plenty of love to give. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, so I’ll care for them as if they were my own, following their normal routine and providing regular photo and video updates to give you complete peace of mind.I have a fenced garden.

“It was such a great peace of mind to leave Monty with Leah, she gave regular updates and I knew he was happy and well looked after my whole trip. I will be hoping Leah is available if we need to go away without him again. Thank you!”

“Izzy was so kind to accept my booking at such short notice as I had an important personal event to attend. Izzy kept me updated throughout Max's stay. When I went to pick Max up he didn't want to leave as he wanted to stay with his new friends. I thoroughly recommend Izzy and will definitely be using Izzy again to look after Max. Thank you Izzy, Max was crying when he got to the car!”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is not just my experience, but my genuine love and commitment to animal care. Having always had a dog of my own, I understand the unique needs and personalities of each pet. I'm also experienced with cats, and I've looked after the dogs of my friends and family, which has given me exposure to different breeds and temperaments. I’m particularly skilled in providing care for puppies, ensuring they get the attention they need for training and socialization. I also have experience with senior pets, offering the patience and understanding they need in their later years, from administering medication to providing gentle exercise and extra comfort. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I’ll make sure your pets feel loved and well taken care of while you’re away. Pet care fits into my daily/ weekly routine as I have plenty of spare time to help and look after your pets! This is because I’m a uni student but with ample time available When caring for pets in a pet owner's home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions you provide to ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I also make sure to spend quality time with them—whether that’s playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company—so they feel loved and not alone while you're away. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a warm, welcoming space that’s clean, safe, and suited to their needs. I maintain their routine as closely as possible and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Whether it’s making sure a dog gets their favorite toy or a cat has a cozy, quiet spot to relax, I do everything I can to make them feel right at home. In both settings, communication is key—I keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while your pet is in my care.

“Lucca had a wonderful stay with Megan. She sent me lots of photos of him looking settled and happy and I couldn't be happier with how he was taken care of. Megan has a very gentle personality which was perfect for my little boy. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone else. Thankyou”
