“Pernille and her partner were absolutely lovely and our St Bernard Rufus had the best time with them. Pernille communicated consistently during his stay, sent photos and was happy to have an initial video call to show us the house and make sure it was okay for our elderly large dog. They gave him lots of fuss and attention and had a lovely home and garden perfect for him. I would be happy for Rufus to stay with them again!”
“Amazing experience!!! Communication with Raik was very smooth, and he always did his best to help. Raik and Michael are very kind, patient, and passionate about dogs, and they know perfectly how to interact with a young dog that is full of energy. Raik has kept us updated with a lot of pics and videos. Our dog has been well cared for, and he absolutely enjoyed the weekend with Raik and Michael! We are grateful and feel very lucky to have met such GREAT people the first time using Rover.”
About: I have a degree in animal management and I have been a genuine dog lover since I was a tiny child! I have two dogs of my own, a beautiful Irish Setter and a Cocker Spaniel. I work from home 4 days a week and love to walk in the countryside where I live. I am able to do up to three walks a day and while I’m at home boarders will have access to a generous fenced garden. Boarders will sleep and be fed separately to my dogs to prevent any issues and can be walked separately if required. I work predominantly from home Tues-Friday and typically do a walk in the morning before breakfast, a walk at lunchtime if the weather is not excessively hot (rain doesn’t bother us!) and a walk in the evening before dinner. Dogs are given access to the garden during the day when I am home to supervise. On Mondays dogs are left between 8:30 and 3pm but are walked before I leave and upon my return. Boarders will be kept apart from my own dogs when unsupervised. I have a fenced garden that has proved secure for both of my dogs. Both my dogs are friendly, dog-social and are up to date on their flea, tick, worming and vaccinations. I have two young children who are used to interacting with dogs however children and dogs are never left alone unsupervised or allowed to play without adult assistance. Boarding dogs are always fed and sleep separately to my own dogs.
“This was our second time booking Sophie for our dog Ronnie, and she was fantastic again. She’s reliable, caring, and clearly great with dogs. Ronnie was happy and relaxed when we returned—highly recommend!”
“Pedro and his family came to the rescue at short notice as we needed our two whippets to be cared for whilst we hosted a party in our home. It made all the difference to know they were safe in a family home (on the sofa) We will definitely use Pedro again”
About: All my life I have had dogs and cats and I would not have it any other way. A home is not a home unless it has pets. They bring so much joy, love and they are all so unique. I currently have a Labrador (Roxy) who is super friendly and 2 cats. We can tailor the walk to your dog's need, long or short, it can either be where there are lots of others dogs if that's what your dog likes or it can be a much quieter walk in the countryside. Your pet’s well-being, safety, and daily routine are my highest priorities, and I’m always happy to follow any specific care instructions you share.I can do short or long house sitting stay. As I have cats I can not offer to have your pet in my house overnight but I can offer short stays in the day. I am fully insured and will shortly be taking on a pet's first aid course. I can be available every week day and weekend with plenty of notice. I will on occasion be doing the walks with my dog providing yours is happy with that. She is super friendly. My pets get the best care. They get fed as soon as I get up and that is before I make myself a cuppa. My dog gets at least 2 hours walk everyday and loves playing with her ball. As we have cats I can not offer overnight stay at my house but I can accomodate short stays in the day.
“I couldn’t be happier with Arina, provided for my dog! She went above and beyond to make sure my furry friend felt at home, and it was clear that she genuinely cared. My dog was happy, healthy, and well-looked after when I picked him up. Her professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”
About: I have had my own dog for 11 years, he’s now an elderly gentleman! As a household we love animals and look forward to looking after your pets, I will be looking after them as their primary carer. . I have also had cats for 15 years, currently just one beauty. I’m here to look after your furry guests and help them settle in. I always do two good walks a day with our own dog or a trip to the park. On top of this we do two toilet breaks if needed. As the garden is not currently secure, I don’t use this for dogs. Dogs sleep in the kitchen which has rubber flooring at the moment, no caging unless requested. Our dog is older so can be a bit lazy and needs his rest, we have plenty of room for dogs to have their own space if needed, but he generally likes company. I am a cat lover and happy to provide drop in cat care, feeding, litter and cuddles.
“Toni was great with our Labrador puppy Indie! Looked after her Saturday through to Sunday and Indie came back relaxed and we’ll exercised, we will definitely use Toni again for overnight boarding.”
“I can’t recommend Grace enough! She clearly has a lot of experience with dogs and it really shows in the way she handles everything with ease and confidence. My pup felt completely comfortable and well cared for, which gave me total peace of mind. On top of that, she was incredibly flexible with scheduling and always kind and thoughtful in her communication. If you’re looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and truly great with dogs, Grace is the one!”
About: Growing up on farm I have always been surrounded by a wide variety of animals, with dogs always playing a huge part in my life. Walking, feeding, bathing, playing…we got it covered! I have a gorgeous black Lab, Bob, who loves the company of other dogs and will be best friends with your pup! I work from home so I am around all day. Sometime I go to my office but this would be specified on the calendar. It is a dog friendly office so I usually take my Lab with, well behaved dogs are welcome and loved by my colleagues! My home is on a quiet street on the edge of a woodland which allow access to great walks. The garden is currently unfenced as we are replacing the fence. Our beautiful Labrador, Bob, will be happy to keep your dogs company and show them around!
“Sausage loved his overnighter with Caitlyn and her lovely family. He's come home pooped but so relaxed. Caitlyn kept me updated on how he was settling in and was great at communicating for drop off and collection times. He's looking forward to the next stay already 😊”
About: I have cared for small and medium size dogs and cats for 8 years. I have trained puppies and cared for senior dogs. My experience includes bathing, walking and playing with dogs and cats. I work part-time with flexible hours which I easily adjust around my pet caring responsibilities. When looking after pets, I am available full time for their care. I have a good-sized fenced rear garden. The fence is 2 metres high. This provides a safe external space for pets. Pets are also accommodated inside my house.

I am fully insured and will shortly be taking on a pet's first aid course.
About: I've been around cats my whole life, having grown up with one since I was three years old. This has given me a strong understanding of their individual personalities, routines, and needs. In addition to caring for my own cat, I've looked after two cats for a work colleague while she was away on holiday. I stayed in her home for several nights, making sure they were fed, comfortable, and given plenty of attention while keeping to their usual routine. I genuinely love being around cats and am always the first to say hello and give my friends' cats a fuss when I visit. I enjoy getting to know each cat's unique personality, whether they're affectionate, or prefer a bit more space.
“Khaley did a great job looking after my cats at short notice. I came back to two happy and well looked after cats and the regular updates meant I could relax and enjoy my holiday. I would recommend Khaley and certainly ask her to look after my two cats again.”
About: I've had a dog all my life, small ones medium ones, I love them. Dogs always seem to love me too. I hope I have the pleasure of looking after your beautiful pups. I work full time on shift work, so I'm available everyday of the week but on different days and times every week, I will always be able to fit you in no problem I live in a house right next to some fields and rivers, lovely walks, while at home I will care for them as you would want me to. Whatever the case
“Once again Victoria helped us out feeding Bella our cat whilst we were away. Always reliable, and although Bella is a nervous cat, she seems to be very relaxed with Victoria... thank you!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs & other animals all my life, I love them & working with them makes me incredibly happy, I’m hoping this can be the start of something great for me. I will happily look after any pets that you own, I have a car & so can drive around to different areas to look after pets & take the pets out in the car for walks if needed
“Imogen did a fantastic job looking after Charlie for the weekend! She was very caring and attentive, sending updates and pictures after each check in. She also kept the house lovely and tidy for when I returned. Highly recommend!!”
“It was a pleasure to meet Emily, who came for a meet and greet ahead of the drop-in visits. Emily provided me with just the right amount of feedback whilst I was away, a couple of photos, a comment on my cat's general well-being and her behaviour on arrival, and confirmation on various matters which we had discussed beforehand eg when to give medication for arthritis, arrangements regarding the key. I would definitely book Emily again.”
“rmth and enthusiasm: If I could give 100 stars, I absolutely would! Jasmine stepped in at very short notice to care for my three cats and arranged a prompt meet-and-greet, which I really appreciated. She put me at ease straight away with her calm and caring nature. My cats are very nervous around new people, but Jasmine quickly gained their trust, which was amazing to see. I received regular photos and updates while I was away, which gave me real peace of mind. Everything was also left clean and tidy when I returned home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jasmine!”
“Brilliant!! Couldn't have done a better job! Cats are all healthy and happy! I was given regular updates and photos, and I'll be honest I'm pretty sure my house is cleaner than when I left 🤣 10/10 would recommend and will be using again!! 🥰”
“Jodie was excellent looking after our 4 cats and rabbit. She came round to meet them all first of all to find out about each of the them and what each cat needed. Once we were away, Jodie sent daily updates and was so helpful with any questions we had. Came home to very happy cats and rabbit! ”
About: Cats are my favourite animals around. Other than taking care of my current 5 cats (and many before!), I have been able to look after feline-friends of family and friends. It has always been my utmost priority to ensure they were happy and safe at home when their owners were away. Whether that meant simply feeding and cuddling them, or giving them their medication, I had them covered!
“Charlotte looked after my cat while i was away a couple of days. She visited before i left to get to say hello to mittens. The weather was atrocious while i was away and Charlotte made all the same choices i would have done about looking after mittens and sent me regular updates which i appreciated. I’d have no hesitation in asking Charlotte to help again in future and I’m sure the cat preferred to stay at home rather than go in a cattery.”

“Sophie was an absolute pleasure to deal with! Really quick communication, answered all our questions and put my wife & I at ease, as it was our first time using Rover! Sophie has an amazing set up for dogs to run & play outdoors, whilst having the security of the paddocks being dog proof! Tsavo was very happy when we picked him up & I would highly recommend Sophie to other Rover users”

“Grover appeared to have a fabulous day and had lots of fuss and attention! Communication with Alline was excellent and I felt reassured that he was in good hands.... this is the first day care I've used, normally having a dog walker for an hour over lunch when I'm on shift bit this feels a much better option. Have already booked a weekly slot! Thank you for a great service 😊”
“Remy had a lovely time with Caitlyn. She asked loads of questions to make sure she looked after him just like we would at home. Her excellent communication and attention to detail made us feel really comfortable leaving Remy in her care.”

About: I had a Border Terrier for 17 years who grew up with our family and was loved by everyone. She lived a long & happy life and we had to nurse her in her final years when she succumbed to dementia. I have a lots of empty space in my life for a dog as I am now retired. I love walking through the countryside with a dog too. I have a large secure garden for a dog to explore . I live in a village and a few minutes walk from the fields which is perfect for dogs. We also have a local recreation ground which also welcomes dogs.

“Yasmin was very obliging in collecting our dogs where requested. She also delivered them back to us exactly on time where we required. Our precious pooches were as happy and lively as they always are and so I'm 100% positive they had a good time with Yasmin the whole day. No hesitation in recommending this lovely young lady to take good care of your precious pooch and we would definitely use her again should we visit Newbury again in the future. Thank you xx”
“Our dog Dee Dee had a lovely stay with Charlotte and Chris and their two dogs. They sent us lots of updates on how she was doing it through the day, with plenty of cute photos! Dee Dee seemed really happy and relaxed after her stay and I would happily book her in with Charlotte and Chris again.”
“Megan is the loveliest of ladies, who looked after Pablo as if he was her own. Pablo is a seven month-old puppy who hasn’t been left with many other people, but Megan very kindly updated me with a few photos of his day. I returned to a very happy, relaxed doggy, thanks to the genuine care and kindness showed to him by Megan. I couldn’t recommend Megan highly enough. Thank you!”
About: Hi, I’m Aimee — your local dog‑walking and day‑care provider, offering calm, structured, and genuinely caring support for every kind of pup. I’ve worked with everything from energetic working breeds to gentle seniors and nervous rescues, and I love helping each dog feel safe, understood, and happy in my care. I’m joined by my “Chief Assistant,” Hop — my Belgian Malinois who loves helping dogs build confidence, practise good manners, and enjoy positive social time. He’s a friendly, steady presence… but he never has to be involved if your dog prefers one‑to‑one care. Solo walks and individual day‑care are always available for dogs who need their own space or a quieter environment. Whether it’s a structured walk, a fun day of enrichment, or keeping your dog’s routine consistent while you’re busy, your pup gets plenty of attention, gentle handling, and a relaxed home‑from‑home vibe. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have full flexibility in my schedule. I’m able to plan my days around the dogs I look after, giving each one plenty of time, attention, and consistency. This means I can offer reliable walks, relaxed day‑care, and one‑to‑one support whenever it’s needed, without rushing or squeezing pets into a busy timetable. For day care in my home, dogs enjoy a calm, structured environment with plenty of enrichment, play, and rest. I follow each dog’s usual routine and make sure they feel safe and settled. My dog Hop is my friendly “Chief Assistant,” but he never has to be involved — solo care is always available for dogs who prefer their own space. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I keep everything familiar and consistent. I follow your instructions closely, maintain your dog’s routine, and make sure they get the right mix of exercise, comfort, and attention. Across all services, my focus is gentle handling, positive experiences, and making sure every dog feels relaxed and well cared for.
“Olivia stepped up at short notice and took lovely care of our little excitable dog. She had a great time playing with her dogs and a delightful day all round. Will definitely book again!”
About: Hi, I'm Grace – a lifelong dog lover with a home full of wagging tails and happy paws! 🐾 Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is truly my passion. I’ve been professionally walking dogs for over 5 years and grooming them for the past 2 – and there’s nothing more rewarding than earning a dog’s trust and seeing them happy, relaxed, and tail-wagging at the end of a visit. Whether it’s a gentle walk, a playful adventure, or a pampering grooming session, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand that each pup has their own personality, quirks, and needs – and I pride myself on being patient, loving, and attentive to every one of them. I’m also fully trained in canine first aid, so you can feel confident knowing your dog is in safe, capable hands at all times. Your furry friend’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. You can count on me to provide updates, cuddles, and plenty of love while they’re in my care. 🐶 I work from home as dog groomer so will be at home all day apart from nursery drop offs and picks ups. So they'll have regular fuss, cuddles, attention and toilet breaks. I have a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can play safely, along with two friendly resident pups who love making new friends. My home is set up with stair gates in various rooms, so I can easily separate dogs if needed - whether for quiet time, rest, or simply a break from the group. Your dog’s comfort and wellbeing always come first.
About: I've had pets all my life. Rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and cats as a child. As an adult I've owned a house rabbit, 2 cats and currently have a dog and a cat. One of my cats sadly passed away with Feline Cystitis and he needed lots of medications. One of my dogs has allergies and sometimes needs medications for this. I'm a qualified nurse, who is comfortable with looking after unwell pets. I am currently on maternity leave. I am at home full time until November 2026. So I am available frequently. I may need to bring my daughter with me for some visits, but this would be discussed beforehand. I have a 6ft fence around the garden. Dogs are very much welcome on the sofa to be comfortable. I live near a huge woods and lots of lovely dog walks.
“Deanne was very friendly and well prepared for Nevis first visit. He was happy to see her and rushed into the house. He had a lovely walk with her and Poppy. Completely happy for Nevis to stay again with Deanne.”
“Kraken had a lovely day with Aston and his lovely furry team (aka the pack). We are very happy with Astons caring , professional knowledge with Kraken and our family. We have found the right person to take Kraken to when we need a dog sitter”

“Martine was amazing with my dog Bloom! You could tell straight away that Bloom was happy to be with her. Martine is super natural with dogs and made me feel really comfortable leaving her with her. It was also really nice seeing how great she was with her own Labrador, both dogs looked so happy and got on really well. Honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Would 100% book with Martine again!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. My love for them started with my childhood cat, Doodles. Every evening she'd curl up on my chest, and this has always been one of my favourite childhood memories. When I was around 10, we welcomed our family dog Bramble into our lives. Later, she developed a health condition that meant she needed daily medication and extra care. Helping to give her medication, changing her bedding every morning and evening, and making sure she was comfortable taught me how important patience, and compassion are when caring for pets with additional needs. Since then, I've been lucky enough to care for pets belonging to family, friends, and colleagues. This has included overnight house sits with cats, looking after my uncle's Westie, Freddie, in his own home, and welcoming my boyfriend's family dog into my home while they were away. My love for animals extends beyond cats and dogs. While travelling around South East Asia, I volunteered and donated at an animal shelter in Koh Samui, made a point of visiting only ethical elephant sanctuaries in Chiang Mai where the elephants aren't ridden or touched, and even met the incredible landmine detection rats in Cambodia. Those experiences strengthened my passion for animal welfare and my respect for every animal, big or small. My schedule is changing soon, which means I'll have even more time to spend caring for pets! In just a couple of weeks, I'll be working part-time, giving me plenty of flexibility during the week. I'll be available on multiple weekdays for daytime walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pets. I'm also available for boarding throughout the week. Thursdays are my one regular day working away from home, so if your pet is staying with me on a Thursday, I'll be out during the day but back by the late afternoon or evening (depending on my shift). Outside of that, I'll have lots of time at home to keep your pet company, making sure they get plenty of attention. I'm always happy to discuss your pet's routine and see how I can make my schedule work for you and pet. I know that inviting someone into your home requires a lot of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. Because of my job, I regularly travel and stay in Airbnbs during the week, so I'm very used to treating other people's homes with care and respect. I always follow check-out instructions carefully, and I'd bring that same attention to detail to your home—whether that's sticking to your pet's routine, locking up securely, or following any house rules you've left for me. Growing up with both a cat and a dog who weren't always the best of friends also means I'm very familiar with using pet gates, managing different areas of the house, and being mindful not to leave anything lying around that pets could get into. I'll always leave your home clean and tidy, exactly as I'd hope someone would leave mine. And because I know how hard it can be to be away from your pets, I'm more than happy to send regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing they're happy and safe.
About: Having been raised on a small holding in rural South Wales, I have never known life without pets. I am a very compassionate and understanding animal lover who enjoys working with all species of animals, with most experience with dogs, cats, horses, farm birds, and small animals. I have my own gorgeous rescue cat, who is the perfect sassy yet protective companion. Over the past few years, in addition to caring for my own cat and animals at the family home, I have enjoyed supporting neighbours, family friends, and customers from this and other pet care sites, with their pet care needs. This includes, walking pets, drop-in walking dogs and helping with day and overnight pet-sitting for neighbours and family friends. I am a trustworthy, reliable, hard-working, and patient person with a passion to learn and care. Finally, a little about me, with a background in Psychology, Special Education and Mental Health, I currently work for the Local Authority as an Assistant Educational Psychologist. I look forward to hearing from you and fulfilling your pet-caring needs with a smile guaranteed I am currently working full-time, yet spend most days working from home. This makes my time very flexible to fit to your pet care needs. My weekly diary is rather adjustable and with prior notice I am able to make time at any time of day for your requirements. I am able to ensure the safety of your pet regardless of your pet care needs. When settling my own cat into her new environment it was essential for us to take the time to ensure her trust in addition to the security of her environment. We also had to take great care when moving around our home and in/out of the home. I ensure this knowledge is part of my pet care practice, and guarantee the safety and care for your pet.

About: A part from having pets my entire life, including senior cats and dogs, I have always been relied upon by family and friends when a pet needed taking care of! Whether that means simply feeding, walking, cuddling, or even medicating, I have you covered. I am currently a university student on summer break at home. I will gladly take all the time in the world for your pet whilst I recuperate for my next semester! I have a large fenced garden that my five cats love to explore, and I’m sure your pet will too! I’m very happy to keep your fur-friend indoors too, with lots of comfy places they can relax (and have lots of cuddles!).
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals. I grew up around dogs and have regularly helped friends and family with caring for their pets, including walks, feeding, companionship, and overnight care. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, daycare, and house sitting, and I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their animals are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away. I’m reliable, patient, attentive, and comfortable around both dogs and cats of different personalities and energy levels. I take the time to help pets feel relaxed and comfortable, and I’m very attentive to each pet’s routine, needs, and any instructions provided so they can stay happy and settled in their usual environment. I currently don’t have pets of my own due to previously working full time, which means I can now dedicate my attention and care to the pets I look after. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers calm company and cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of care, affection, and attention. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and video updates, so you can feel reassured and connected to your pet while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! My availability is currently flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, daycare, and house sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I understand how important consistency and reliability are for both pets and owners, and I always aim to be responsive, dependable, and accommodating wherever possible. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s routine and scheduling needs to find what works best for you. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and wellbeing will always be my priority. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I always take the time to carefully follow any instructions provided regarding feeding, walks, medication, exercise, and home routines. I aim to create a calm, safe, and reassuring environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for, whether in their own home or during walks and visits. I’m attentive, responsible, and respectful of both pets and owners’ homes, and I’m happy to provide regular photo and video updates for extra peace of mind while you’re away.
“Elysia walked our dog when we had to be out for the day and came by beforehand to meet him and us. She was punctual and great with him and kept us well informed about tge walk. Will happily book her again”
About: I have had a dog since childhood, which has given me over 30 years of hands, on experience caring for pets. Over the years, I have also helped friends, family, and neighbors with their dogs, taking care of walks, feeding, and giving them the attention they need. I am patient and caring with both energetic puppies and older dogs who may need extra support. I believe every pet has a unique personality, and I always make sure to respect their individual needs and routines. As a stay-at-home mom and therapist, I work mainly from home with occasional online sessions. This gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for your dog throughout the day. I can provide walks, playtime, and lots of attention to make sure your pup feels happy and safe. I live with my husband and two kids (ages 11 and 17), and we are all animal lovers. We have a secure fenced yard both in the front and back of the house, giving dogs plenty of safe space to play and explore. I also have a pug friendly at home who love company, and I can crate your dog if needed for safety or comfort.
“This was Charlie’s first time with my boys. She took the time initially to come and meet my boys and they loved her. She’s so caring and kind I felt happy leaving my boys with her. She communicated well and walked my boys on time and fed them as per their routine. My boys are big dogs and she handles them really well the pictures she sent me says it all. I would definitely use Charlie again to look after my boys!”
About: As well as owning my own two dogs for seven years, for three years aboard, I worked in local dog pounds. I have helped care for and trained numerous different dogs. I have trained them with the basics such as sit, wait, and down, I have also helped them with anxiety issues, social issues, and learning to trust humans again. During this time, I also fostered 10+ dogs, from tiny puppies to dogs that were 5 or 6 years old, with health issues. I thoroughly enjoyed my time spending time with these dogs, nurturing them and showing them what a loving environment is about. I currently work part time and am able to fit in pet visits and walking Mon - Fri 9.30 -14.30 dog walking. I am also available every other weekend as well. I can easily crate your dog if they have anxiety issues and require a safe space. I am respectful of a dog / cat in their home environment and any rules you have for your home I will adhere to and respect. If you require muddy paws wiped before entry, a groom before bed, biscuits laid out before I leave them please let me know.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years, and animals have always been a big part of my life. Growing up, my mum was a pet sitter, so I was always surrounded by pets and learned from an early age how important it is to give animals patient and attentive care. I now live on a small farm in Newbury and love spending time outdoors with animals. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats, helping pets stay comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I always take the time to make them feel relaxed and happy. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime or simply keeping them company, I make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away. Pet care is my full-time work, so my daily routine is built around dog walks and pet visits. This allows me to be flexible and make sure each pet receives plenty of attention, exercise and care. I plan my schedule carefully so every visit or walk is relaxed and unhurried. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I always make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible so pets feel comfortable and relaxed. During drop-in visits I can feed pets, refresh water, clean litter trays if needed, provide playtime and make sure they get plenty of attention and companionship. For dog walks, I prioritise safe and enjoyable walks, keeping dogs securely on their lead unless instructed otherwise and avoiding busy or unsafe areas where possible. I always make sure dogs are returned home safely, with fresh water and settled before I leave. I treat every home with respect and care, keeping things tidy and making sure doors, gates and locks are secure. I also send updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are happy and well looked after.

Hi, I’m Khaley! I’ve always had a genuine love for animals, and caring for them brings me so much happiness. I understand that pets are family, and I take that responsibility seriously—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience looking after a range of different personalities—from playful, energetic pets to those who are a little more shy and need patience and reassurance. Whether your pet loves cuddles, playtime, or just a calm, comforting presence, I always adapt my care to suit them. 🐱 What you can expect from me: * Plenty of attention tailored to your pet * Playtime based on their personality * Feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, and general care * Regular updates with photos and messages so you have peace of mind * A calm, patient approach—especially for nervous or shy pets I’ve cared for many cats included in my pictures each with their own unique personalities—whether that’s following you around like a shadow, enjoying sunbathing in the garden, or just wanting a cosy cuddle. I love getting to know each pet and building that trust with them. 💬 Communication is really important to me, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. I aim to respond quickly and keep everything as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. ✨ Why choose me? Because I genuinely care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I’d love to meet you and your pet—feel free to message me with any questions! I am pretty flexible in finding a time that works for you and your furr babies. I work shift work which means I am flexible in times I can visit your animals :) I would be caring for your pets at your home. I also offer a meet and greet so you can meet me before you go away.
About: I’ve been looking after dogs since I was 14 years old, caring for friends’, family’s and neighbours’ dogs on a regular basis. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, bathing, playtime, and providing lots of attention and companionship. At the beginning of 2025, I travelled to Australia where I looked after multiple dogs through house sits, giving me experience caring for dogs in different environments and routines. I’m a very outdoorsy person, so dogs in my care will enjoy varied walks through parks, trails and green spaces rather than the same route every day. I’m happy to adapt to each dog’s needs, whether that’s long energetic walks for active dogs or slower and gentler walks for older or less mobile dogs. My priority is always making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable and well cared for. I’m currently working as a freelance photographer, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m often out walking anyway, so I’m looking for some furry friends to join me on my walks in my spare time. This flexibility means I can accommodate different times and adapt to each dog’s routine. Whether that’s regular daily walks or occasional care. With my background in photography, owners can expect regular photo and message updates so you can see how your pet is getting on and feel confident they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away. I always prioritise a pet’s safety, comfort and routine whether I’m caring for them in my own home or in the owner’s home. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking preferences and any specific needs or behaviours. I make sure dogs are walked safely, kept on leads where required, and given plenty of attention and reassurance.

“Pernille and her partner were absolutely lovely and our St Bernard Rufus had the best time with them. Pernille communicated consistently during his stay, sent photos and was happy to have an initial video call to show us the house and make sure it was okay for our elderly large dog. They gave him lots of fuss and attention and had a lovely home and garden perfect for him. I would be happy for Rufus to stay with them again!”
“Amazing experience!!! Communication with Raik was very smooth, and he always did his best to help. Raik and Michael are very kind, patient, and passionate about dogs, and they know perfectly how to interact with a young dog that is full of energy. Raik has kept us updated with a lot of pics and videos. Our dog has been well cared for, and he absolutely enjoyed the weekend with Raik and Michael! We are grateful and feel very lucky to have met such GREAT people the first time using Rover.”
About: I have a degree in animal management and I have been a genuine dog lover since I was a tiny child! I have two dogs of my own, a beautiful Irish Setter and a Cocker Spaniel. I work from home 4 days a week and love to walk in the countryside where I live. I am able to do up to three walks a day and while I’m at home boarders will have access to a generous fenced garden. Boarders will sleep and be fed separately to my dogs to prevent any issues and can be walked separately if required. I work predominantly from home Tues-Friday and typically do a walk in the morning before breakfast, a walk at lunchtime if the weather is not excessively hot (rain doesn’t bother us!) and a walk in the evening before dinner. Dogs are given access to the garden during the day when I am home to supervise. On Mondays dogs are left between 8:30 and 3pm but are walked before I leave and upon my return. Boarders will be kept apart from my own dogs when unsupervised. I have a fenced garden that has proved secure for both of my dogs. Both my dogs are friendly, dog-social and are up to date on their flea, tick, worming and vaccinations. I have two young children who are used to interacting with dogs however children and dogs are never left alone unsupervised or allowed to play without adult assistance. Boarding dogs are always fed and sleep separately to my own dogs.
“This was our second time booking Sophie for our dog Ronnie, and she was fantastic again. She’s reliable, caring, and clearly great with dogs. Ronnie was happy and relaxed when we returned—highly recommend!”
“Pedro and his family came to the rescue at short notice as we needed our two whippets to be cared for whilst we hosted a party in our home. It made all the difference to know they were safe in a family home (on the sofa) We will definitely use Pedro again”
“Toni was great with our Labrador puppy Indie! Looked after her Saturday through to Sunday and Indie came back relaxed and we’ll exercised, we will definitely use Toni again for overnight boarding.”
“I can’t recommend Grace enough! She clearly has a lot of experience with dogs and it really shows in the way she handles everything with ease and confidence. My pup felt completely comfortable and well cared for, which gave me total peace of mind. On top of that, she was incredibly flexible with scheduling and always kind and thoughtful in her communication. If you’re looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and truly great with dogs, Grace is the one!”
About: Growing up on farm I have always been surrounded by a wide variety of animals, with dogs always playing a huge part in my life. Walking, feeding, bathing, playing…we got it covered! I have a gorgeous black Lab, Bob, who loves the company of other dogs and will be best friends with your pup! I work from home so I am around all day. Sometime I go to my office but this would be specified on the calendar. It is a dog friendly office so I usually take my Lab with, well behaved dogs are welcome and loved by my colleagues! My home is on a quiet street on the edge of a woodland which allow access to great walks. The garden is currently unfenced as we are replacing the fence. Our beautiful Labrador, Bob, will be happy to keep your dogs company and show them around!
“Sausage loved his overnighter with Caitlyn and her lovely family. He's come home pooped but so relaxed. Caitlyn kept me updated on how he was settling in and was great at communicating for drop off and collection times. He's looking forward to the next stay already 😊”
