“If Niro could speak, he'd be saying he wants to go back again. Great communication, and updates with photos s. During the stay. He clearly had a great time, and met his new friend Bailey. I can definitely recommend as a sitter if you want your dog liked after.”
“I cannot fault Nicola and her family for the care they gave to our Honey. Their warmth and kindness was felt from the initial meeting, just felt like leaving Honey at a home from Home. We were kept up to date throughout each day, with photos and videos.”
“Poppy had the most wonderful time with Anna! Anna clearly loves dogs and Poppy took to her immediately when they met. Anna kept me updated with very cute pics and provided Poppy with all the love and attention she likes to have! I wouldn't hesitate to leave Poppy with Anna again - I know Poppy would adore it!”

I can provide regular walks & lots of attention throughout the day 🦮🦴 Your pet's safety & wellbeing are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has different needs & routines.

“Wei was absolutely fabulous, she looked after my cat Dinky for a week. Wei kept me updated with lots of photos and gave Dinky lots of attention so he was a very happy cat! Would recommend Wei 100%!”
“Super grateful for the loving care TigerLilly received . So looked so happy in the photos. Thank you for you accommodating help. Booked again and will continue to do so. ❤️”
“Eve was a great sitter for our Lady. Especially under the extreme circumstances of the heatwave. We had some updates, and Eve amended the care plan to fit the extra heat situation too. Will be rebooking for next month. Thank you for taking good care of our girl. Much appreciated. 🙏🏼💖”
“I feel so lucky to have found Ella. She treated Clover like family and included her in everything from walks to the family BBQ! Clover loved her dog and came home completely tuckered! Clover can’t wait to visit Ella again!”
“My one year old cocker spaniel had a fabulous 10 days with Mikayla and Alec! Mikayla arranged a meet and greet to check he would get on with their dog Susan and wanted to know his routine, likes, dislikes etc so she would know how to care for him. He was treated like one of the family and got on with Susan brilliantly. Mikayla kept me updated with frequent photos so I knew he was getting on well. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mikayla to anyone looking for a boarder who will care for your dog like their own 🐶”
About: I have loved dogs and animals all my life and have many years of hands-on experience caring for and training dogs. I grew up with a Border Collie and had my beautiful Golden Retriever for 14 years. I now have Hudson, my two-year-old chocolate Labrador, who I trained from a puppy. I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, happy and settled. I am patient, caring and responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that’s walking, playing, cuddling or simply keeping them company. New to Rover, but certainly not new to dogs. 🐶 I work a mix of home and office-based hours, giving me good flexibility for pet care. My day starts with an early 5.30am walk, and I usually spend only a couple of hours in the office before working from home. I am home with Hudson for most of the day and we have another walk every evening, usually covering 4–5 miles a day. I can offer boarding and walks depending on your dog’s needs and my availability. I have a secure, fully fenced garden and a safe, comfortable home where dogs can relax and feel at ease. I have plenty of space and can use separate rooms if dogs need their own space or time to settle. Hudson is friendly and used to being around other dogs, but I understand that every dog is different and will always follow their individual routine and needs. I will provide plenty of supervision, exercise, affection and attention so your dog feels safe and cared for while they are with me.
“Hannah looked after our dogs, Nala and Henry, and they seemed to have a great time with her. We really appreciated her flexibility and the way she worked with their routine. We’d be happy to have her look after them again.”
“Jasper came back a very happy dog. Sam kindly sent regular updates and photos so we could see he was relaxed and comfortable with them. Lovely garden for a sniff and runaround”
“Leanne thank you for taking such good care of Baxter while I was away. All of your photos and updates were great so I could enjoy my holiday knowing Baxter was in good hands and having a great time!”
“Dex had a lovely stay with Georgia and her family. He seemed very well cared for. I found Georgia really easy to communicate with and plan Dexters stay with her. I would definitely use her services again”
“Ivy looked very happy after picking her up from Tara's! She was clearly very well looked after and really enjoyed her stay. Tara was also very communicative and professional. Ivy is very excited for her next visit :D”
About: A little about me 🐾 I’m basically the go to pet sitter for friends and family, although I don’t have any pets of my own at the moment, I’m usually looking after everyone else’s! Whether they come and stay with me or I stay at theirs, I absolutely love having animals around. I treat every pet like they’re my own - lots of walks, adventures, playtime, cuddles and of course…plenty of treats 🐶🐱 I love taking dogs out on fun days, finding new places to explore and making sure they’re having just as good a time as their humans are. I’m also more than happy with a cosy night in and some four-legged company. Basically, your pet will be thoroughly spoilt, very well loved and probably wonder why you’ve come back so soon! 💜 I’m currently working as a freelancer, so I work from home and have lots of flexibility with my time. This means I can easily fit pet care around my day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I actually love having a reason to step away from my laptop for a walk, so it works perfectly for both me and the pet! I’m happy to adapt my routine around their usual walks, feeding times and needs. I’m happy to either have pets stay at my home or look after them in their own home, depending on what works best for them. At my home, I have a fully fenced garden, big comfy sofas and plenty of space for them to relax and feel at home. I’ll keep to their normal routine as much as possible, with lots of walks, playtime, attention and, of course, cuddles! If I’m staying at a pet owner’s home, I’ll make sure their pet is comfortable and cared for in their familiar surroundings, while sticking to their usual routine and any specific instructions you leave me.

Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: Hello fellow cat lovers! As a dedicated pet care provider, I know that while cats may seem independent, they thrive on engagement. My understanding comes from years of personal experience; I had two wonderful cats as family members for about 13 years, which truly deepened my appreciation for their unique personalities. That's why my cat care visits go beyond the basics. I believe playtime is paramount for a happy, healthy cat, offering crucial mental enrichment and a wonderful way to strengthen bonds. I make sure every visit includes dedicated, fun play sessions tailored to your cat's unique personality and energy. Let's keep those paws active and minds sharp!
“William looked after our cat for 10 days. We had daily updates and photos, when we got back it was obvious that she had been very well cared for. He followed our instructions perfectly.”
About: I've been around cats my entire life. I've rescued kittens and many cats have adopted me when they had nowhere else to go. I feel like I truly understand the needs of these enigmatic creatures. Our last cat was rescued from a shelter as a tiny, weeks old kitten, and lived a pampered life with us for over 17 years. She and my daughter were inseparable and we were devastated when she passed away.
About: I have looked after family dogs and cats for many years. I love to run and can take a pooch with me to burn up their energy. I currently run a part time business so have plenty of time to fit in pet care. I absolutely love animals and have a lot of time and care to give to them. I enjoy walking and running and am happy to take dogs out on long walks including in the countryside. I’m a very conscientious and respectful person. I respect others privacy when in their own homes but I’m not afraid to speak up if I have any concerns regarding a pets welfare (if they are unwell for example).
“Tara was absolutely wonderful, she was responsive throughout and very helpful. She did a wonderful job of looking after Shadow and keeping us updated, we came home to a very happy cat and a very well looked after home! I could not recommend Tara enough :)”
“Jacqueline has been amazing looking after my cats on multiple occasions. She goes over and above what is expected & I know I am coming back to a house that’s in order & happy cats when we use her 😊 communication is really efficient as well. Would highly recommend! We will be using again next time we go away without a doubt.”
About: 🐱 Cat Lover & Experienced Pet Carer I’ve always had a real love for cats and understand that every cat has their own unique personality and boundaries. Whether they’re playful and affectionate or prefer their own space, I’m happy to work at their pace and make sure they feel safe, relaxed and cared for. I’ll treat your cat like my own, giving them plenty of attention, patience and care while you’re away. ❤️🐾
“Karan took fantastic care of our cat Pango and our home whilst we were away. She provided regular updates and that helped us relax and enjoy our trip away. We came back to a very happy kitty and couldn't ask for more. Thank you Karan!”
About: I’ve always had cats and have grown up around them, so caring for cats has always been a natural part of my life. I regularly look after my nan’s cats as well as cats belonging to family and friends. I also work for Hampshire County Council in the community, so I’m very comfortable visiting people in their homes and understand the importance of being respectful, reliable and trustworthy in someone’s home. I’m a genuine animal lover and would treat your cat with the same care, patience and affection I would give my own. I’m happy to follow your cat’s usual routine, whether they prefer lots of fuss and attention or are more independent and just want someone to quietly keep them company. 🐱❤️
About: I have loved and cared for dogs my entire life. I grew up rescuing stray dogs and giving them a safe place, food and love. Over the years I have cared for many different breeds, from small playful dogs to large strong ones. I am calm, patient and attentive to every dog’s personality and needs. For me dogs are not just pets – they are family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and being active outdoors. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate proper time and attention to each pet I care for. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings when needed. When I look after a pet, I make sure they receive enough exercise, attention, and companionship. I never rush walks and always adapt the time and activity to the dog’s needs and energy level. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority. I treat every dog as if it were my own. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and properly supervised at all times. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and any instructions given by the owner so they feel secure and relaxed. Even though I live in an apartment, I make sure dogs receive plenty of outdoor time, exercise, and fresh air through regular walks and visits to nearby parks. I keep a calm and clean environment and always focus on building trust with both pets and their owners.
About: hello im Georgia. I have never done a job like this before but i have 26 years experience with my own animals and now 2 years with rover. I have previously had 2 cats and a dog called Charlie (living at my mothers house). We are always first point of call for sleepovers with the dogs in our family and our friends dogs have been welcomed here many times too. We welcome all sizes, and a perfect holiday for your dog even if they're a little bit crazy. I work self employed as an aesthetician so I spend a lot of time at home, and grateful to also be a Mumma to a 5 year old girl who goes to school Monday-Friday. I have always had dogs and i treat my charlie like my child so i know i would never want him in the wrong hands. I consider myself to have a very big heart which is why i have so much love and time for animals. I have plenty experience with dog walking and being patient with my animals. I can provide you with regular pupdates and pictures so you know how your pet is and what they are up to. If you require your dog to be crated then we can accommodate to this also so that your dog isn't out of routine. We have plenty of local parks for your dogs to explore. We want your pets to be safe and happy in our care so will require some information from you to ensure that your dog has the best time possible and that our house is prepped and suitable for your dogs requirements. If there are any requests then please don't hesitate to let us know. We will try to accommodate the best we can. This is unlike a kennel setting, just your dog going from one home to another, prepared for hours of belly tickles. I currently am at home apart from the school run. My daughter goes to school and my partner works hybrid so is also home a few days a week so what better way to spend my lonely free time than getting my fitness up and making furry friends. I have a fair sized garden that is fenced off. I can also crate your dog if this is preferred. I am willing to take all precautions to ensure your dog is in safe hands. My mums dog is an escape artist and I am now a professional at having eyes on the back of my head
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. Coming from a family of vets, animal care has always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve also spent several years working in a veterinary practice, helping care for and nurse a wide range of animals. I have plenty of experience with dog walking, house sitting, and caring for pets both through Rover and independently. Having owned dogs my whole life, I’m confident with walking, training, administering routines, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for cats and smaller pets, including my own cat and tortoise. I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone trustworthy and attentive, and I always aim to provide reliable care, regular updates, and lots of affection so both pets and owners feel completely at ease. I currently work in a hybrid role, with standard hours of 8:00am to 4:00pm. I work from home for most of the week, with one fixed office day on Tuesday and a second office day that I can choose, giving me flexibility to plan my schedule around pet sitting bookings whenever possible. When working from home, I'm able to provide plenty of company, regular toilet breaks, walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. Outside of my working hours, I'm fully available during evenings and weekends, allowing me to dedicate even more time to exercising, playing with, and caring for your pet. I'm organised, reliable, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away. Whether caring for pets in my own home or in a pet owner’s home, I always prioritise safety, routine, and making pets feel as comfortable as possible. I understand that every animal is different, so I take the time to learn their usual routine, exercise needs, feeding schedule, and any medical or behavioural requirements to help them feel settled and secure. Coming from a veterinary background and with experience working in a veterinary practice, I’m confident recognising signs of stress or illness and ensuring pets receive attentive, responsible care at all times. I’m also experienced with administering routines and following owner instructions carefully. When house sitting, I treat every home with respect and keep owners updated regularly with messages and photos for peace of mind. I aim to maintain a calm, loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away.
“Very professional, reliable and brave! Jessica was visiting my pets in my dark, haunted cottage in the middle of the woods without any issues! Also braved my rooster! She kept me updated every day which put my mind at rest so I could enjoy my break. Thank you!!!”

About: Dogs have always been part of our life, starting with our family Pomeranian. I then inherited two Jack russels which gave birth to my little willow ☺️, and now here we are! We are countryside bums through and through .. horses, muddy boots, and a home that naturally revolves around animals. We joined Rover because we genuinely love caring for dogs (and because it stops me andopting another one… 😅). Every dog is treated like part of the household, so they feel right at home. We do things the right way here, and are fully licensed (26/00059/AWAAL), fully insured and a dog ruled home 🏡 I work from home every day, so dogs are never left alone. My routine is totally flexible and shaped around your dog 🌳. Our home has a large 160ft garden with brand new 6ft secure fencing, and we can collect and drop off in my (very loved) dedicated doggy car (the dogs seem to think she's fabulous) 😂🐾 Expect a happy dog, regular updates, and knowledgable hosts! Pet care fits into my daily life because it is my daily life 🐶 I work from home every day, so dogs are never left alone and are part of normal routines. Days are flexible and dog-led with garden time, walks, play, naps, and lots of company 🌳🐾 Basically, the dogs set the schedule and I just follow it 😅 Each stay is tailored to the individual dog staying with us ...Care is calm, consistent, and focused on making dogs feel safe, settled, and at home.
“Shelley took great care for Twix and she kept all her communication perfect. I will definitely repeat Twix boarding if she is available next time as well. She has a lovely dog and he get along very well with my dog. Thank you so much Shelley 🙏🙏”

“Ella was amazing. My dog and cat love her so much, and they don’t really love other people. I felt really at ease with Ella looking after them. Thank you so so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Ernie is really enjoying his days with Emma and Ruby, he can’t wait to get out of the car in the morning. It makes life easier knowing he is safe, happy and looked after so well. Thank you 😍”
“Very friendly Miah liked Wing keeping her company and can’t wait for next stay , Wing was on time and doing a couple of stays before our holiday for her to stay, so that we don’t worry while being away.”
“Hannah was quick to respond to our short notice request. Rosa had a great time with Hannah and we got updates throughout the day. We'll certainly be contacting Hannah again next time we need someone to look after Rosa!”
“Thank you Inna for accommodating our pup at short notice. She was given a warm welcome by the while family and looks forward to coming again soon. And she apologises for eating all the treats! 😂”
“Fabulous! Margarita looked after our 16 month old English Setterpoo, Elsie, for the whole day whilst we had a day out in London. She sent us regular messages, photos & videos throughout the day to reassure us that Elsie was fine - even enjoying an off-lead play in the park on what was a foul day weather wise! We returned to find a very calm and happy pup. I think the fact that Margarita and her husband are both so calm and confident around dogs definitely rubbed off on Elsie and quickly resolved any anxiety she might have had around being away from us. Will definitely book Margarita again. Thank you!”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received! From the very first meeting, it was clear that she truly loves dogs and knows how to make them feel safe and comfortable. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which was incredibly reassuring, and our dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Reliable, kind, and professional – we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter.”
“William looked after my pup for a few hours at short notice so I could have some puppy free time to pack up our house! Wednesday was happy to stay with William, and was in good spirits when I went to pick her up. William is professional, polite and trustworthy, thanks William!”
“We couldn't ask for a better person to look after Zoey twice a week. Zoey is obviously very happy in Mikayla's house and gets on very well with Mikayla's dog, Susan. We get loads of picture updates throughout the day, which I always look forward too!”
“Beans loved his doggy day care with Tara and family - he came home very tired and satisfied with his day! The picture updates were brilliant, really put my mind at rest. Thank you ☺️”
“Nicola (and Darren) were absolutely wonderful and so welcoming to our sausage dog! They have a beautiful home and garden, and it’s clear they have a wealth of experience looking after dogs. Nicola kept us updated throughout our dog's stay with frequent photos and videos, which gave us total peace of mind. Our dog was thoroughly spoiled—she was taken for a lovely walk in the nearby woods, slept in a very comfy bed, and was given a squeaky toy and endless cuddles. In fact, she was so happy she didn’t even want to leave when we came to pick her up! Thank you both so much. I highly recommend them to anyone!”
“Leanne looked after our young pup for two days while I worked long shifts, and she was great. Our pup was excited to see her each day, and it was clear he felt comfortable in her home. She made sure he was well fed and taken care of, and he came home tired and happy—he slept soundly after what I can only imagine were very active, fun filled days. I really appreciate the care and attention she gave him. Highly recommend!”
“Ivaylo is clearly a dog loving person and Nani seemed immediately at home. He was absolutely amazing and took such great care of her. He kept me up to date with pictures and video. I will definitely use him again!”
“Laura was absolutely wonderful with Poppy. Poppy clearly felt at ease even during the drop off process - Laura is obviously a calming presence! I was kept updated during the day and Poppy returned happily exhausted. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Poppy with Laura again.”

About: I’ve been a veterinary nurse for over 8 years, working with cats and dogs of all different breeds and sizes. I’m comfortable administering medication and caring for both seniors and puppies. Having taken a short break from clinical work to go travelling I miss my furry friends and would love the opportunity to get to know yours! I’m currently taking a break from working having returned from a few months of travelling so I’m available to walk and play with your pets at a time that suits you best. I have two lovely cats of my own, but this means unfortunately I cannot have your pets over for a sleepover. But I love visiting pets in their own space and keeping them company. Having a stranger in your home can be daunting so I’m always respectful of any rules you have in place!
About: I've owned and cared for pets for most of my life, from dogs and cats to guinea pigs, rabbits, ducks, and exotic birds. Walking and playing with dogs is one of my favourite pastimes. I'm currently between jobs, so have time to walk dogs and visit homes to play with pets during the week. I'm available between 9am and 5pm daily during the week, Monday to Friday. I have a large fenced garden and two border Collies. I ensure that they have plenty of water and ensure that they receive the correct amount of food, morning and night. I also take them for daily walks in the countryside as well as taking care of their intellectual and emotional needs.
About: I have been looking after families pets since I was young and have grown up with dogs of all sizes. I currently look after my sisters labradoodle puppy and my nans bocker (beagle cross cocker spaniel). I have also had and looked after ferrets before so have experience with other animals. I’m currently working part time, mainly evenings at the weekends so will have plenty of time to care for your beautiful pets! I am also quite flexible so please don’t be afraid to ask for anything you may need! I am afraid I am unable to do pet boarding but I love to make sure pets feel comfortable with me coming into their home. Ensuring they have interaction and play when they want it but also giving them space when they just want to chill is so important!

About: I grew up with a big, silly Irish Red Setter who was truly part of the family. He set the bar for how fun, gentle and full of personality dogs can be and we still laugh about his antics today. In recent years I’ve looked after friends’ and family’s dogs while they’ve been away, making sure they’re fed, walked, played with and properly cared for. I absolutely love going on long walks, so having a four-legged pal to join me is always a joy. I’m a naturally caring person and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy and like they’re having their own little holiday too.
“Crystal clearly loves dogs and our Chihuahua who’s not overly friendly with strangers gave her a seal of approval! Crystal doesn’t mind long walks and loves being out in the countryside. Our two came back happy and tired after their walk. Have booked her for another walk and also some housesitting.”
“Jaco is a lovely person, polite friendly and extremely Helpful. Has a fantastic knowledge about dogs. Always notify me on who the walk went. Which is always nice to know all went well. I would highly recommend him as your dog walker. My dog is very dog reactive and unpredictable. And I trust Jaco can deal with him.”

About: I've had years of experience from looking after my own pets and a wide range of other animals . When booking make sure you have allowed enough time for any travel delays. If going abroad you may need to book a day extra. Lastest pick up 7 pm thankyou ☺️ I'm a very flexible person, who can provide care for a broad range of pets. It is always worth contacting me even to arrange last minute bookings. I have a large fenced garden with plenty of space. I offer trips out into the countryside and beach . Lots of games or chill out with cuddles
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. Coming from a family of vets, animal care has always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve also spent several years working in a veterinary practice, helping care for and nurse a wide range of animals. I have plenty of experience with dog walking, house sitting, and caring for pets both through Rover and independently. Having owned dogs my whole life, I’m confident with walking, training, administering routines, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for cats and smaller pets, including my own cat and tortoise. I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone trustworthy and attentive, and I always aim to provide reliable care, regular updates, and lots of affection so both pets and owners feel completely at ease. I currently work in a hybrid role, with standard hours of 8:00am to 4:00pm. I work from home for most of the week, with one fixed office day on Tuesday and a second office day that I can choose, giving me flexibility to plan my schedule around pet sitting bookings whenever possible. When working from home, I'm able to provide plenty of company, regular toilet breaks, walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. Outside of my working hours, I'm fully available during evenings and weekends, allowing me to dedicate even more time to exercising, playing with, and caring for your pet. I'm organised, reliable, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away. Whether caring for pets in my own home or in a pet owner’s home, I always prioritise safety, routine, and making pets feel as comfortable as possible. I understand that every animal is different, so I take the time to learn their usual routine, exercise needs, feeding schedule, and any medical or behavioural requirements to help them feel settled and secure. Coming from a veterinary background and with experience working in a veterinary practice, I’m confident recognising signs of stress or illness and ensuring pets receive attentive, responsible care at all times. I’m also experienced with administering routines and following owner instructions carefully. When house sitting, I treat every home with respect and keep owners updated regularly with messages and photos for peace of mind. I aim to maintain a calm, loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away.

“If Niro could speak, he'd be saying he wants to go back again. Great communication, and updates with photos s. During the stay. He clearly had a great time, and met his new friend Bailey. I can definitely recommend as a sitter if you want your dog liked after.”
“I cannot fault Nicola and her family for the care they gave to our Honey. Their warmth and kindness was felt from the initial meeting, just felt like leaving Honey at a home from Home. We were kept up to date throughout each day, with photos and videos.”

“Eve was a great sitter for our Lady. Especially under the extreme circumstances of the heatwave. We had some updates, and Eve amended the care plan to fit the extra heat situation too. Will be rebooking for next month. Thank you for taking good care of our girl. Much appreciated. 🙏🏼💖”
“I feel so lucky to have found Ella. She treated Clover like family and included her in everything from walks to the family BBQ! Clover loved her dog and came home completely tuckered! Clover can’t wait to visit Ella again!”
“My one year old cocker spaniel had a fabulous 10 days with Mikayla and Alec! Mikayla arranged a meet and greet to check he would get on with their dog Susan and wanted to know his routine, likes, dislikes etc so she would know how to care for him. He was treated like one of the family and got on with Susan brilliantly. Mikayla kept me updated with frequent photos so I knew he was getting on well. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mikayla to anyone looking for a boarder who will care for your dog like their own 🐶”
“Hannah looked after our dogs, Nala and Henry, and they seemed to have a great time with her. We really appreciated her flexibility and the way she worked with their routine. We’d be happy to have her look after them again.”
“Jasper came back a very happy dog. Sam kindly sent regular updates and photos so we could see he was relaxed and comfortable with them. Lovely garden for a sniff and runaround”
“Leanne thank you for taking such good care of Baxter while I was away. All of your photos and updates were great so I could enjoy my holiday knowing Baxter was in good hands and having a great time!”
“Dex had a lovely stay with Georgia and her family. He seemed very well cared for. I found Georgia really easy to communicate with and plan Dexters stay with her. I would definitely use her services again”
“Ivy looked very happy after picking her up from Tara's! She was clearly very well looked after and really enjoyed her stay. Tara was also very communicative and professional. Ivy is very excited for her next visit :D”
About: A little about me 🐾 I’m basically the go to pet sitter for friends and family, although I don’t have any pets of my own at the moment, I’m usually looking after everyone else’s! Whether they come and stay with me or I stay at theirs, I absolutely love having animals around. I treat every pet like they’re my own - lots of walks, adventures, playtime, cuddles and of course…plenty of treats 🐶🐱 I love taking dogs out on fun days, finding new places to explore and making sure they’re having just as good a time as their humans are. I’m also more than happy with a cosy night in and some four-legged company. Basically, your pet will be thoroughly spoilt, very well loved and probably wonder why you’ve come back so soon! 💜 I’m currently working as a freelancer, so I work from home and have lots of flexibility with my time. This means I can easily fit pet care around my day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I actually love having a reason to step away from my laptop for a walk, so it works perfectly for both me and the pet! I’m happy to adapt my routine around their usual walks, feeding times and needs. I’m happy to either have pets stay at my home or look after them in their own home, depending on what works best for them. At my home, I have a fully fenced garden, big comfy sofas and plenty of space for them to relax and feel at home. I’ll keep to their normal routine as much as possible, with lots of walks, playtime, attention and, of course, cuddles! If I’m staying at a pet owner’s home, I’ll make sure their pet is comfortable and cared for in their familiar surroundings, while sticking to their usual routine and any specific instructions you leave me.
“This was Zia’s third stay with William and was again, amazing! He is so understanding and patient with Zia as she is a nervous girly and was lovely to see that she was excited to see him when pulled, she is usually very timid around people. He kept us updated with photos showing how she’s doing as well, will be booking many more times in the future!”
“Our labrador, Bertie, has just had an 8 night stay with Josh. It was the first time we'd left him, so we were a bit apprehensive. We met Josh for an initial walk, then Bertie had a trial day before his 'holiday'. He had the best time, he loved being with Josh's dogs and the different experience of being with someone else. We had lots of updates and there were no issues. We are pleased to have found a place for Bertie to go in the future. Thank you!”
“Amazing care provided by Karan for Ollie our black lab. This booking was short notice to enable attendance at a funeral. Karan sent regular photos and provided great care for Ollie. Would highly recommend.”
About: I’ve always had dogs and absolutely love animals. I currently have two French Bulldogs of my own, so I’m very used to the fun, character and care that comes with having dogs! I’m caring, reliable and naturally comfortable around animals. I’d love to help with dog walks, home visits and giving your pets some company and attention while you’re away. I’m available all day on Mondays and Wednesdays. The rest of the week, I’m available before 10am, and I’m also available all day on Sundays. I always treat every home and pet with care, respect and kindness. When visiting your home, I’ll make sure your pet is comfortable, safe and well cared for, while respecting your home and following any instructions you leave for me. For home visits, I’m happy to use a key safe or another agreed method of access and will always make sure your home is secure when I leave. For dog walks, I’ll make sure your dog is safely secured before leaving the property and will follow your instructions around leads, routes and any specific needs. I’ll keep dogs under control throughout the walk and make sure they are safely returned home afterwards. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my priority, and I’ll keep you updated so you know they’re happy and well looked after.
“Esme was brilliant with our dog. She was very responsive to my initial enquiry. We received an update mid board showing a very contented Labrador which is always reassuring. If you are looking for someone to care for your pet then look no further than Esme.”
“Laura took amazing care of our dogs. She was very accommodating adding our second dog to the booking last minute and flexible with timings. We were worried as our puppy is not use to the city but she eased all our concerns. Will be using her everytime we visit Toronto!”
