“Wan Jeong is absolutely AMAZING. She is SO kind and SO caring. She took lots of notes and did everything to make sure their stay was an happy one. Our two dogs were very well looked after and had an amazing holiday with their new ‘holiday’ mum. Wan Jeong sent us regular updates and photos/videos and kept in touch throughout. She took them for 3 walks a day 😊 We feel VERY lucky to have found such a wonderful person. ❤️”

“Lucinda was amazing with Rex, took him for walks even in the rain. He seems to have had an amazing holiday. It was his first time staying overnight at a different place and Lucinda made sure he was happy and felt safe. We arranged a meet up before the date and has kept me informed about what Rex has been up to and how he was. I will be booking Lucinda again in the future. Thank you so much”

“Just picked up Lola after a 5 day stay with Natalia. This was her second stay and again she was a very happy girl. She had 3 walks a day and loved to play ball. Natalia kept us updated and frequently sent pictures that were very reassuring. Next time Lola will have a longer stay. Highly recommended.”
“I asked Ronnie how his stay was and he said 5/5 he would wholeheartedly recommend and wouldn’t paws for thought before staying again! Kept in the loop and wonderfully cared for 😊”
“Kayleigh was absolutely fantastic with Wes, our rescue greyhound. It was the second time he stayed with Kayleigh and it was obvious from the pictures she sent that he had an absolute blast and felt extremely comfortable in her care. We had consistent updates from Kayleigh and felt we could completely trust her with Wes, even though we don't often leave him and he's getting on in years. I would not hesitate to reccomend Kayleigh to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter.”
“I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sangeeta and to use her again I future. Loki had a lovely time with her over night, Sangeeta sent me lots of photos and videos of Loki settling in and enjoying his walks. Thanks again, Sangeeta!”
About: I have been surrounded by pets my entire life! I grew up in multi-pet household, so am completely comfortable with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I recently purchased my own flat and am thrilled to finally be able to welcome pets into my warm and loving home. My work schedule means that I get Tuesday Wednesday off work so that your pet will have around the clock care, company and unlimited cuddles during their stay with me. I work in sales, which gives me two weekdays off to dedicate fully to walks, playtime, and cuddles. My partner Ryan is home on weekends to provide extra love and supervision, ensuring your pet is never lonely. We treat every pet like family and are comfortable with puppies, senior care, managing multiple pets (if from the same household) and following specific routines. We can't wait to welcome your dog (or cat!) into our home! 🐾 The safety and comfort of your pet are our top priorities. Our flat provides a calm and secure home environment with fully hard floors throughout living spaces. Our building features a fenced, communal garden that is completely set back and secured away from any roads where your dog can safely enjoy some fresh air and supervised play. Although we have use of a garden, we both love to walk and are happy to provide as many walks a day as your dog requires to ensure your dog is happy, stimulated, and gets plenty of exercise. We will be fully focused on giving your dog individual attention and enrichment. Ryan and I always supervise playtime, both inside and outside the home. We also strictly follow all feeding, medical, and routine instructions provided by you, ensuring a seamless and worry-free stay.
“This was the first time we have left Willow with someone overnight as we had to travel away for a family event. Sophie was very pleasant and kept us up to date with photos and messages. Willow was totally relaxed within minutes of us leaving her and was very well looked after throughout her stay. We are so happy to have found Sophie and her family and would most definitely recommend her and would most definitely book with her again.”
“Genevieves calm mannor made her a perfect match for our excitable German shepherd. offers a comfortable , relaxed and spacious home from home environment with large garden meaning she can easily accommodate larger dogs like ours .

About: When I think back on my childhood, on growing up, on all stages of my life, there has been one constant, a cat! Or multiple cats more likely. Whether it be my own, neighbours, family, friends, or even those at the rescue centre I volunteered at, I have always experienced life with cats around me. Therefore, you can rely on me to keep your own beloved feline safe, especially due to my experience volunteering with RSPCA Hersden cat rescue centre where I would deal with a variety of tempered cats each visit, from those hostile because they were scared, to those so friendly they would cause havok when trying to clean. Due to this, I have high standards of care for your pet/s, and will ensure that they are happy, healthy, and loved like family.
“Jane is great, she looked after Cherry very well and I felt that she gave her a lot of attention, even giving her a brush. Thank you Jane, Cherry is looking forward to seeing you again soon.”
About: I am sometimes known as the Crazy Cat Lady as I am Cat Mum to 6 beautiful cats. I have a gorgeous tortie, called Teddy who has been part of the furmily for over 12 years. Soon after her adoption from Cats Protection followed black kitties, Sally, Bella, Jack, Freddie and Caleb. Unfortunately, we lost Caleb in October 2022, and whilst we weren't ready to take on another furbaby, late November, Elphie fell right into the palms of our hands, and we wouldn't have it any other way. Not only have they left pawprints on our hearts, we've also had many rabbits, and currently have three who keep us busy! We also have an adorable hamster, who likes to tease Elphie at night. I have previously worked as an Animal-Assisted Therapy Practitioner, with my rabbits, but have since moved onto another venture. Animals are still very much a huge part of our life. They complete our heart and live on in our soul. You can find out more about me and my furrmily on my Facebook blog.
About: Hello there I’m Nicola, a caring and highly experienced cat sitter serving Canterbury and surrounding villages. I work fully remotely and control my own schedule (I am a part-time researcher/ advocate for refugee rights) so I can be flexible, whether you need regular weekday drop ins or occasional cat care services. If you require a pet service not explicit on my profile, do get in touch; I am always open to new ideas and learning new skills. I have had cats as pets throughout my life, predominantly rescue animals. Previously, I provided long term care to my very elderly cat who had dementia and physical health needs.
“Meet beau as part of a meet and greet with my dogs. My dogs have a few issues that could be off putting to some (one is reactive to dogs and the other is very old with disabilities) - but nothing was too much trouble! Both the dogs were instantly at ease and beau is clearly a natural with dogs and an animal lover. Exactly what you want from a dog sitter! Will definitely be using for dog sitting in the future - thank you!”
About: I got my first cat at 8 and was hooked! I’ve always had cats in my life and from barn cats and strays to rescues and Persians! I’ve even passed my love of cats on to my nephew! I’ve given various medications, baths, pamper sessions and ear drops to many cats! Nothing phases me anymore! Some of my favourite jobs are the cat drop ins where I sit and keep them company, a sneaky treat and a brush and leaving them happy and fed before bedtime.
“Jiachen looked after our cat whilst we were away for 10 days. Jiachen had great communication, keeping us updated with videos & photos daily. Would highly recommend using Jiachen for pet care.”
“Manilyn was brilliant. It was the first time we’ve used Rover and she was so reassuring, coming for a pre-visit so we could explain everything and sending such lovely drop-in photos and cards when she visited. 100% recommend and would book her again. 5 star!”
About: Hi, I’m Ella - your friendly neighbourhood dog walker! I’ve recently moved to the Canterbury area and would love to look after your dog or cat! I have a genuine love for all animals and lots of experience caring for them. I want your dog or cat to get the exercise, affection and attention they deserve. I’ve worked with animals for around 8 years including roles in Vet clinics, shelters and farms. I tailor each walk to your pets personality and needs, and I prioritise safety and lots of tail wags. I am unemployed and would love to devote my time to looking after animals. I am happy to walk or visit a per any weekday and anytime. I am offering dog walking and cat/dog sitting in the owners home. I will always make sure a dog is safe on a walk and will follow any rules a owner gives me.
About: Hey I’m Kerry 37 year old animal lover, I am a mum to 2 boys, 3 cats, 1 African grey parrot and 2 horses, also have experience with various other animals. I am all for fur baby love, I have been a full time mum to my eldest disabled son for 16 years and 15 months ago welcomed another son but need time now to be me and do what I love doing caring for cats and other animals.
About: I come from a family of dog lovers. Ever since we adopted my first pup when I was four, I was always active in taking care of and playing with him. For as long as I can remember, I took our dogs and friends and family's dogs on walks. I'm currently on a gap year and studying in my spare time, so I have loads of free time to spend showering your pets with the love they deserve. My family in recent years adopted two puppies, so I have an understanding of the importance of structure in a pups day, and gentle but clear instructions given, in order to create a bond and minimise damage that could be done to their environment, whether due to certain accidents or getting too playful. I will also walk the route through before taking the dogs out in order to ensure each walk is compatible to the pet.
“Claire was fantastic she was able to help us at short notice when our original person let us down last minute. Claire even charmed our timid pair of normally very shy cats. Communication throughout was excellent. Definitely recommend Claire.”
“Emily was an amazing sitter, she provided good communication each day throughout the visits and sent photos and videos when requested. She built a very good relationship with my cat and I know I can rely on her again!”

“Sullivan's second visit to Dean- and very excited as we approached the "spooky" house! Dean let me know how he was through the day- with photos- and I collected a relaxed happy pup at the end of the day. Thanks Dean”
“We introduced Doris to Wan jeong because the dog carer who has cared for Doris for the first 6 years of her life has moved on. We did a lot of research, looking for a carer who would be kind, responsible and respectful of Doris's needs. Wan jeung is a warm person who clearly loves dogs. She is working hard to develop a happy relationship with Doris and is very keen to understand Doris's daily routines in order for her to feel safe and happy. We feel that we have made the correct choice placing our precious pup with Wan jeung.”
“Lucinda was fabulous and Ottie had a lovely day with her. Lucinda was very flexible and helpful and Ottie had wonderful walks and a playmate for the day. Would highly recommend Lucinda. Your dogs will be well looked after and happy!”
“It was so good to know our dog Angel was with a brilliant sitter. U could see he loves dogs and looks after them.. i would like to book Peter S again. Many thanks for helping us so we could spend time in Derbyshire with my family, Excellent sitter.”
About: I don’t just watch pets—I care for them like they are part of our family. With years of hands-on experience I take time to get to know each pet’s unique personality, needs and routines. Whether it’s extra playtime for an energetic puppy, quiet comfort for an older pet, I tailor my care to make every pet feel safe, loved, and at home 🙂 Pet care fits right into my life! I’m an outgoing person who loves being outdoors and staying active, whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or just enjoying some fresh air. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Caring for pets never feels like work it’s something that always brightens my day! ☺️ When pets stay with me, I treat them like part of the family. They get a comfortable place to rest, regular walks or playtime, and lots of affection. I make sure they feel at home, keep their feeding routine consistent, and always provide a calm, loving environment.
“We were a little anxious as our German Shepherd / Border Collie as he can be reactive and picky with the people he likes. He either loves you or wants to eat you. Mark suggested a pre meet and from the moment we stepped into his house we needn't of worried. Dexter instantly made new friends. On the day, Mark sent us pictures to keep us updated and showed us that he was not stressed or miss behaving and looking very chilled and relaxed. Thank you Mark”
“Our dog really loved being with Olga. We had to find a sitter last minute and she responded so quickly and was so reassuring about leaving our dog with her. Very grateful for the time she gave us”
About: Hi! I'm new to Rover, I've always had dogs in my life since I was a child. I love all kind of dogs and have my own now, a 12 years old black labrador called Mango. I am currently working part time, and have lots of spare time to look after your four legged friends and go for walkies in your preferred area. I also know very nice walks that have been all approved by my dog (fields, woods, dog parks, etc). I am happy to cater for your dog's needs, and I will adapt to your preferences. I am looking forward to meet your dogs, and go on adventures with them I am available most weekdays, from 9 to 3, and will always try my best to work around your schedule.

About: I have been fostering dogs, old, young, and sick for 5 years. We adopted our lurcher 2 years ago. He is a playful 2 year old, so I need to use treats/ and discipline quite a lot. I have had dogs growing up, and just love to be around all types of dog. I’m at home most of the time. Not currently back at work after maternity leave. I take my dog out at least once a day. So can fit something in most days! I have a fully fenced garden and gate. The house is open plan, however if you need your dog cornered off or my dog cornered off we have baby gates everywhere to help with that.
About: Hello there I’m Nicola, a caring and highly experienced dog walker/ sitter serving Canterbury and surrounding villages. I only look after solo pets and those from the same household. My 'speciality' is reassuring nervous dogs (as well as anxious owners!) I can be flexibly with my availability; whether you need regular weekday walks or occasional pet services. I work fully remotely so make a great daytime companion (I am a part-time researcher/ advocate for refugee rights). If you require a pet service not explicit on my profile do get in touch, I am always open to new ideas and learning new skills. I have had rescue dogs throughout my life, including "failed" police dogs and elderly dogs. Previously, I fostered Romanian rescue dogs, ahead of helping them find their forever homes. I have cared for puppies, elderly pets and those with mobility and/ or health considerations. I already have some regular dog walking Clients but have recently gained capacity to take on more work (I am new to Rover). I am now also available for pet sitting whether at my home or yours. I have an enclosed garden, and my home is located a short distance from public footpaths and fields. After saying goodbye to my beloved fur-son last year I do not currently have pets myself (still too bereft!)

“Helen and her husband looked after our 4-month-old cocker spaniel, Arlo. I couldn’t recommend them enough, Arlo had a great time and came home well-exercised and happy!

“Kayleigh has been wonderful with my fur babies. Very communicative and flexible with last minute bookings. Doggos came back very happy and well cared for. Would defo recommend! Thank you x”
About: I offer a highly versatile, confident, and reliable approach to pet care. My experience spans the entire spectrum of the canine world, meaning your dog—no matter their size or personality—will be in expert hands. ❄️ Arctic Sled Dog & Pack Experience I have unique, hands-on experience managing a pack of working Huskies during a sledding expedition in the Arctic Circle of Sweden. This involved looking after my own team and assisting with the wider pack in extreme conditions—handling everything from feeding and harness management to understanding complex pack dynamics and high-energy behavior. 🏡 Gentle Care for Smaller Breeds While I'm entirely confident with large, high-energy breeds, I am equally experienced in providing the gentle, attentive care required for smaller dogs. I have extensive experience looking after two small dogs, meaning I completely understand the finer details of small-dog care—from keeping a watchful eye on them around bigger dogs to managing their specific exercise routines and making sure they feel safe, cozy, and thoroughly pampered. Whether your dog needs a high-energy handler who can match their stamina, or a calm, comforting companion for cuddles and structured routines, I adapt perfectly to what they need. As a part-time personal trainer, my schedule is incredibly flexible, leaving me with plenty of free time throughout the week to dedicate to your pets. Because fitness is my job, I have the stamina and energy for long, active walks, making me the perfect fit for high-energy dogs who love to explore and burn off energy! I can easily structure my day around your dog's specific routine, feeding times, and exercise needs. Safety and trust are my top priorities. When caring for pets in an owner's home, I treat their property and their routine with the utmost respect, ensuring doors are locked, feeding schedules are met precisely, and the environment remains calm. On walks, my background as a fitness professional means I am alert, physically strong enough to handle large or pulling dogs safely on a lead, and fully focused on keeping your dog secure and happy at all times.
About: I've always loved dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I provide a safe, caring, and reliable service, treating every dog as if they were my own. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds, including energetic puppies and older dogs that need a slower pace and extra patience. I'm happy to stick to your dog's normal routine, including feeding schedules, administering oral medication if required, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. Being active means I can provide long walks and engaging exercise for high-energy dogs, while also understanding when a quieter, gentler approach is needed for senior pets. I'm reliable, punctual, and know how important communication is, so I'll keep you updated with messages and photos while you're away for complete peace of mind. My priority is making sure your dog feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for, so you can relax knowing they're in safe hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy being active and make time every day for walks, outdoor exercise, and spending time with dogs. This means I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their usual routine, so I'm happy to follow your dog's normal schedule, whether that's early morning walks, medication, meal times, or evening cuddles. I have a flexible schedule and always make sure the pets in my care receive the time, attention, and affection they deserve. For me, looking after dogs isn't just a job—it's something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while keeping to their normal routine. I take the time to get to know each dog's personality, feeding schedule, walking routine, and any special requirements before their stay. I provide plenty of exercise, playtime, mental stimulation, and, of course, lots of affection. Fresh water is always available, and I make sure pets have a clean, comfortable place to rest. If I'm caring for your dog in your home, I'll respect your property as if it were my own while maintaining your pet's usual routine to help them feel settled. I'm also happy to administer oral medication if needed, provide regular toilet breaks, and send photo and message updates so you know your pet is happy and well looked after. I understand how much pets mean to their families, so I treat every dog with the same care, patience, and attention I'd give my own.
“Thank you for looking after Yasuke on short notice, taking him on the best walks and being super attentive and flexible with us. Great communication. 5 stars and highly recommend and would re-book. Thank you Emily!.”

About: I've always grown up around a range of animals, from cats, dogs, tortoises and more. Forever I have been deemed the animal whisperer of my family, and therefore have always been the go to pet sitter, dog walker, and overall one trusted to look after their pets as if they were my own. As a pet owner and animal lover myself, I understand the importance of good quality, trustworthy care for your pets, as they are truly family. My experience in dogsitting friends and families dogs on multiple occasions, walking their dogs from childhood to now, and volunteering with the RSPCA alongside work experience, paired with my passion for loving your pet as if it were my own, leads me to be a safe and reliable choice for taking care of your beloved pet! Now that I am done with my A levels, I am taking a gap year before university to save up and travel, due to never being on a plane, or even leaving the country before! Therefore apart from my part time job that currently takes up my fridays and saturdays, I have a lot of flexible free time to take up pet care duties, and hope to help others be able to relax while knowing their pet is receiving high quality care, while I can be able to save up for my travelling in future, all while enjoying the extra time with animals as someone who finds peace even with the most energetic and chaotic of pet personalities! Due to my position as a gap year student, I am unable to offer boarding at my own home, and am limited on overnight stays, restricted to Aylesham, Kent for that service unless it is a short stay within Canterbury. However when it comes to dog walking, I am flexible with any reasonable times throughout Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, thursday and Sunday, and can be booked to make multiple visits to your home to feed/play/give some love to your pet throughout the daytime! I am well knowledged on the different challenges each breed brings, and how to adapt my care to suit your dogs own personality and needs. It will be ensured that I am well informed on your pet before care is given, and due to my experience volunteering with the RSPCA I am well aware and understand animal welfare standards of care and will ensure your pet is treated the best it can be through my care.

I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, and administering medication, always following owner instructions closely to maintain your pet’s routine and wellbeing.

With a flexible schedule covering weekdays and weekends, I aim to provide dependable and consistent care you can trust. I treat every pet with patience and respect, ensuring they feel comfortable and well looked after in your absence. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, as I work fully remotely and have a flexible schedule across weekdays and weekends. This allows me to reliably accommodate walks, feeding times, drop-in visits, and medication routines while giving pets consistent attention and care. I am organised, accountable, and follow owners’ instructions closely to maintain each pet’s normal routine, safety, and comfort. I care for pets in their owner’s home by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in a familiar environment. I pay close attention to each owner’s instructions and prioritise cleanliness, safety, and responsible care at all times. I also provide timely updates with photos and videos so owners can stay reassured and connected with their pets while away. Being accountable and reliable is very important to me, and I aim to give both pets and owners peace of mind.
About: Throughout my life we’ve always had dogs, cats and even reptiles- from Yorkshire terriers and beared dragons up to Boa constrictors and our current Rottweilers I’ve personally trained 4 Rottweilers (3 males 1 bitch) and had the pleasure of raising over 30 pups over the years. As with all big dogs it’s a short life and we’ve recently lost 3 of our 4 (13yrs, 12yrs and 11yrs) a great innings considering their life expectancy we lost our girl due to old age and two males due to cancer- Due to the incredible focus needed to have these breeds it’s given me and my partner great first hand experience of dealing with power, reactive behaviour and general big dog issues. We swear and live by proactive measures ensuring that we avoid tense situations and all cost and do all teaching via reinforcement and care. We spend all and every weekend exploring the uk countryside with Odin, so we’re looking to be able to care for dogs that fit into that lifestyle We live on a large boat, which is out of the water at the moment- we have safety nets and ramps set up so all areas are accessible and safe. Any dog staying with us overnight will have their own cabin onboard :)
About: I grew up with pets in my house, my love for animals made me go vegan and rescue dogs, we adopted our current precious Battu who is love to my family, living far from home with no pets around looking for opportunity to fill that void in my life by taking care of your furry buddy I’m full time employee works on weekdays. Living away from family looking to feel the joy and happiness of being around pets through this opportunity I prioritize safety, trust, and a loving environment in every aspect of pet care. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your routine from their toilet breaks , food, walks and play with them
About: I’m a calm, reliable, and patient dog walker who builds trust quickly with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. My priority is always to make every walk safe, relaxed, and tailored to each dog’s personality, energy levels, and individual needs. With four years of experience caring for and walking dogs, I particularly enjoy taking them out into nature. I prefer longer, enriching countryside and woodland walks where dogs can freely explore, sniff, and burn off energy in a stimulating natural environment. I often forage for mushrooms along the way, which makes each walk feel like a proper outdoor adventure. I’ll also often take photos during our walks so you can see what we’ve been up to! I’ve recently started my own business that gives me flexibility with how I structure my day and week. Much of my work naturally involves spending time outdoors and walking in nature, so incorporating dog walking into my routine feels like a perfect fit. Rather than walking alone, I can provide dogs with exercise, stimulation, and companionship while I’m already out exploring local countryside and green spaces. It allows me to combine productivity, wellbeing, and a genuine love of dogs into my daily routine. I would treat every pet as if they were my own, a member of the family. I would make sure they feel safe comfortable and well cared for while keeping to their usual routine and individual needs. Whether in my home or the owner’s home they would receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection and a high standard of care. I would also provideupdates so owners have peace of mind while their pet is with me.
About: I’ve grown up around animals, hamsters, birds, rabbits, cats, dogs, horses. I am happier around animals than I am people most of the time! Being a shift worker I know how hard it is trying to find a walker or someone to call in when you have to work. Now that I have no pets at home it’s a chance for me to help someone else and get all the walks and play and cuddles from other peoples gorgeous animals As a shift worker I get different days off so I can be very flexible. I can help out on awkward dates. I am used to early mornings and late nights and can be about during the day when other people aren’t I have always had dogs and have a secure garden and surrounded by fields and great walking around the village and over the fields. I have no issue with dogs on the sofa!
About: Hi! I love all animals and won’t discriminate! But most of my experience is with dogs, cats and rabbits. I currently have a gorgeous black lab and a pretty little chatty cat. I’ve previously had rabbits for many years. I’m the ‘go to’ person amongst family and friends with pets, for advice, help with grooming, training or walking etc. In the past I’ve volunteered with The Guide Dogs. Exercising and playing with the dogs and reinforcing cues in their last 10 weeks of training. I love working with dogs and would be happy to help with basic training where I can with both puppies and adult dogs. I’m self employed and generally have varying availability between Monday-Friday 8.30am-4pm. However, it’s best to ask if you have a request outside of these times, as I may sometimes still be able to accommodate. On instruction, I am happy to administer medications or cater to specific needs where possible. I’ll always be diligent with your pet, their needs and of course your home.
“We highly recommend Cheri. In addition to being very professional and reliable, our dog immediately clearly enjoyed being with her. Cheri took the time to understand our dog's needs and preferences. It's great to know our dog is in such good hands. Five stars!”

About: I offer a highly versatile, confident, and reliable approach to pet care. My experience spans the entire spectrum of the canine world, meaning your dog—no matter their size or personality—will be in expert hands. ❄️ Arctic Sled Dog & Pack Experience I have unique, hands-on experience managing a pack of working Huskies during a sledding expedition in the Arctic Circle of Sweden. This involved looking after my own team and assisting with the wider pack in extreme conditions—handling everything from feeding and harness management to understanding complex pack dynamics and high-energy behavior. 🏡 Gentle Care for Smaller Breeds While I'm entirely confident with large, high-energy breeds, I am equally experienced in providing the gentle, attentive care required for smaller dogs. I have extensive experience looking after two small dogs, meaning I completely understand the finer details of small-dog care—from keeping a watchful eye on them around bigger dogs to managing their specific exercise routines and making sure they feel safe, cozy, and thoroughly pampered. Whether your dog needs a high-energy handler who can match their stamina, or a calm, comforting companion for cuddles and structured routines, I adapt perfectly to what they need. As a part-time personal trainer, my schedule is incredibly flexible, leaving me with plenty of free time throughout the week to dedicate to your pets. Because fitness is my job, I have the stamina and energy for long, active walks, making me the perfect fit for high-energy dogs who love to explore and burn off energy! I can easily structure my day around your dog's specific routine, feeding times, and exercise needs. Safety and trust are my top priorities. When caring for pets in an owner's home, I treat their property and their routine with the utmost respect, ensuring doors are locked, feeding schedules are met precisely, and the environment remains calm. On walks, my background as a fitness professional means I am alert, physically strong enough to handle large or pulling dogs safely on a lead, and fully focused on keeping your dog secure and happy at all times.
About: I have always had pets, from dogs to cats to rabbits and would love to look after yours! Where I work from home I have plenty of time for cuddles and walks during the day. I currently work from home which means I have the time to give your loved pets the attention they deserve! This has meant I have the time before work, during the afternoon and the evening to take your pet out on walks and plenty of cuddles during the day :) I have cat, dog and tortoise sat in other peoples homes ensuring pets are well looked after and loved whilst also keeping your home tidy. I have a large garden at home that is fenced allowing your pet to have room to play.
About: I've always loved dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I provide a safe, caring, and reliable service, treating every dog as if they were my own. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds, including energetic puppies and older dogs that need a slower pace and extra patience. I'm happy to stick to your dog's normal routine, including feeding schedules, administering oral medication if required, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. Being active means I can provide long walks and engaging exercise for high-energy dogs, while also understanding when a quieter, gentler approach is needed for senior pets. I'm reliable, punctual, and know how important communication is, so I'll keep you updated with messages and photos while you're away for complete peace of mind. My priority is making sure your dog feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for, so you can relax knowing they're in safe hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy being active and make time every day for walks, outdoor exercise, and spending time with dogs. This means I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their usual routine, so I'm happy to follow your dog's normal schedule, whether that's early morning walks, medication, meal times, or evening cuddles. I have a flexible schedule and always make sure the pets in my care receive the time, attention, and affection they deserve. For me, looking after dogs isn't just a job—it's something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while keeping to their normal routine. I take the time to get to know each dog's personality, feeding schedule, walking routine, and any special requirements before their stay. I provide plenty of exercise, playtime, mental stimulation, and, of course, lots of affection. Fresh water is always available, and I make sure pets have a clean, comfortable place to rest. If I'm caring for your dog in your home, I'll respect your property as if it were my own while maintaining your pet's usual routine to help them feel settled. I'm also happy to administer oral medication if needed, provide regular toilet breaks, and send photo and message updates so you know your pet is happy and well looked after. I understand how much pets mean to their families, so I treat every dog with the same care, patience, and attention I'd give my own.
