“Fantastic service, kept updated with daily visits. Really happy to leave the care of my cats with Joe, lovely to feel confident that someone is able to check in with them and make sure they are ok. Thank you 😊”


“Sophie was excellent. She done an amazing job with keeping me and my partner up to date with our kittens while we were away, giving us peace of mind. Our kittens seemed to warm to her quickly which was very endearing.”


“Aneta looked after our dogs for the first time at the weekend, they warmed to her instantly and she took time to understand what our dogs liked/disliked. We’ve rebooked Aneta for a week or so in September and we feel happy and comfortable knowing our dogs are in good hands.”


About: I have always found animals easier than humans, and have had a special affinity with both my own, and other people's pets. I started young, walking elderly neighbours' dogs at the age of 10, housesitting for relatives with pets in my late teens, and I have also volunteered at an animal rescue and voluntarily dog walk for The Cinnamon Trust. I currently have two dogs, one cat, one green-cheeked conure, a crested gecko, and a corn snake. Previously we have also had rats, mice, a giant land snail, and fish (tropical and cold water!). I am currently studying the Trust Technique, which aims to foster a more natural, less analytical bond with animals. I am also studying in Pet First Aid, Pet Care, and Animal Law, to ensure that aside from being an animal lover a heart, we can also be assured that should anything unexpected happen, I know exactly what to do. I work from home, on a part-time basis. For this reason, I can be super flexible for any of the services you may need, whether that is an arranged walk, popping in to see pets at you home if you are away, house sitting in your own home, or potentially boarding your pups at my own house! It is key to ensure that your pets' routine stays as similar as possible to the normal day to day. I have two small dogs that love to play should your dog feel like it, but we can easily make sure they all have their own space if needed. In your home, I would treat your pet exactly as you would. We have a fenced garden, great walks from the front door, and some of the best beaches and countryside walks around!

“Karen was absolutely lovely, she took amazing care of my cat Billy and I was very happy having her in my home. I received lots of photos and updates which was really nice and meant I could relax while I was away. Would definitely book Karen again!”


About: With over 10 years experience caring for pets, I’ve looked after a variety of breeds and animals. Trusted by family, friends and neighbours for walks, feeding and overnight care, I now have my own friendly pooch who can be great company for your pet. Whether you’re looking for sitting services or simply a good walk, I’ll provide loving and reliable care as if they were my own.

About: I have grown up with dogs, hamsters, rabbits and cats. I have moved out and have a dog of my own who is a 2 1/2 year old German Shepard x Doberman, I've had her since a 7 week old puppy. We love going out for long walks and being social in the dog park. I have good experience with big dogs, and highly active dogs, as my family dog was a border collie who didn't ever want to stop. Alongside this I love all other animals, my sisters always had a wide range of reptiles and I've enjoyed meeting and greeting her latest addition. I feel like as long as I'm with any type of animal I'm happy, if that's long dog walks outside or just a bit of attention on the sofa. All animals deserve to be treated like family and I can assure you, if you chose me to help out with your pet, I'll treat it like my own and with love and care I work 4 days a week, I have Saturday to Monday off and I love spending to with my dog, doing dog walks and being outside. I have a fenced off garden where my dog and your pet will be allowed to go outside, I take them for a morning walk, and evening walk, and they are let outside multiple times throughout the day. They get lots of cuddles and care. My dog gets fed in the morning and the evening, and a few treats whilst out on the walks.

Currently we have a 8 year old American retriever and a 2 year old flatcoat/labrador We are an active family but do also enjoy cosy cuddly evenings.

We have a large fenced garden with plenty of space for playing when home and the door is often open all day so your pooch can come and go as it pleases.

“Our puppy has separation anxiety, but Chloe was there to look after her and our puppy took to her. We appreciated the updates in photos. We would recommend Chloe to anyone who needs dog-sitting :)”


“I came across this app by chance as was in need of help to pop on to see my little boy whilst I had to go to work. Myself and my partners rosters didn’t match on this occasion. I messaged Beth to arrange a meeting first hand before committing; she happily agreed to meet Mylo and brought him round some treats to gain his trust. I honestly couldn't praise this girl enough and within seconds of meeting her I knew I could trust her with my little boy. Beth was on time to each visit and sent me photos of Mylo whilst in her care. Beth I thank you so very much, I will definitely msg you again when I need your help In the future; you’ve made a forever friend in Mylo. ?”


About: Hi i'm Nathanael and I live in Brixham, Devon. I grew up in Yorkshire around 3 amazing dogs. A golden retriever, Alsatian and a springer spaniel. Most of my time was spent climbing hills, running through woods or playing in a field with at least one dog beside me. Me and my partner currently own a 11 month old collie puppy, Rudie. He's full of energy, very well behaved and loves other dogs for company. I currently work part time for the emergency ambulance service and have plenty of time free. My partner also works from home, so there is always someone in. Im pretty new to rover, however have plenty of past experience looking after animals, especially dogs. Our dog walking service is aimed at those wanting a proper walk for their dog. We take our collie on 2-3 big walks each week, lasting a minimum of 2-3 hours. This can be anywhere from the woods, to the moors or to the beach. Our walks are jam packed full of adventure and fun. Also, great spaces to train and bond. All dogs welcome. Please make us aware of any special requirements your pet may have and we will do our best to accommodate. My availability will vary week to week, but I will do my best to accommodate for regular bookings. Happy to house sit out of area and have transport. We live in a 3 bedroom house with lots of roaming space. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and can enjoy all of our property. We have a fenced garden to the side of the property and also have the benefit of plenty of parks and open spaces just round the corner. As we have a dog ourselves, any booking will need to be talked over to check suitability. The safety of your pet and ours is of utmost importance to us.

About: I grew up in a house full of dogs with my nan offering a doggy day care and short stay pet sitting. Have owned a mixture of dogs ranging from jack russels to a leonburger. Have worked with toy and working dogs. Worked on a farm working with collie puppies from birth to sale so experienced with all ages of dogs. And recently assisted the birth and early care of a Dachshund litter. I am caring and patient with a huge passion for animals, currently studying Equine Science. Currently have an open schedule and can work around owners needs. I have my own transport and am able to look after other pets inc, snakes, small animals and horses. Have previous experience owning and or working with all the animals above. :) I am currently a stay at home mam, along side completing my degree. I am able to be very flexible with timings to suit your needs. I currently only have my male dog living with me as me and my partner live separately. He is very friendly with all dogs and children. My Nan still offers doggy day care and regularly has my dog for me if I’m away. Therefore if your dog is unsure of other dogs I can also facilitate their needs.

About: Family and friends have relied on me to look and sit for their dogs in advance and last minute. I will always cater to help the pet be safe. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, I can provided all services including night stays at owners home to provide a comfortable environment for the pets I live In a flat.

About: I’m known by many as an animal lover and have acquired extensive experience working with and looking after animals from work in veterinary practices to dog shelters. I’m a qualified veterinary physiotherapist, with the knowledge and expertise to understand your dogs needs, and provide expert care including any specific medical requirements. I have volunteered at rescue shelters abroad, often bonding most with the timid and anxious dogs and I understand the patience required to gain a dogs trust. I enjoy hanging out with dogs of all sorts and would be grateful to be in the company of your pet 😊 I work 10-2 at a school and so can fit in walks and dog care around this. During the school holidays I am much more flexible and can travel further distances in my campervan. When your dog is in my care I will always prioritise them and make time for plenty of walks, cuddles and company as required. I’m happy to follow any training and routines you have, I understand consistency is key especially with pups and rescue dogs. Happy to keep up crate training and general obedience training, and to walk dogs on/off lead as required. My dog is very friendly with others & loves to play but has good respect and boundaries with more timid dogs. However if your dog is not dog social, I can arrange for her to be looked after separately by my family.

“We booked Rebecca to look after our dog as we were going to be out for a prolonged period of time. She came over to the house the day before for a meet and greet and we could instantly tell she’s an animal lover and a natural with dogs. She was very friendly and professional, asking all the right questions. We booked a dog walk and then a sit in the house later on, and she went above and beyond to keep us updated with her movements and sent lots of photos and videos throughout. Our dog Herb had the most wonderful time and she was so tired and chilled when we got back after playing all day with her new friends (Rebecca’s two dogs that she met). We will most definitely be using Rebecca again and can’t recommend her enough.”


About: Throughout my life I’ve grown up with dogs, cats and horses. I am a true lover of animals and naturally want to care, love and look after them. I am happy to help with any ongoing training requirements you are working on. I enjoy exploring new areas and will endeavour to find new, interesting walks for your dog(s). I am happy to run with them too if they need any extra exertion! I currently have a flexible work from home job in Kingsbridge so can adapt my day to help with your pets requirements. I also have my own dog Roxy who can join dog walks (by agreement) if your dog might like company. I will follow your instructions to ensure the safety and wellbeing of your dog at all times. My own dog freely has access to all areas in my own home, but sleeps in her own bed in the kitchen at night.

Isabel M.
“Isable is a very caring and organised individual. Having experience with many different animals, having 3 of her own scaly babies. Isabel had experience with many different cats and different shapes and sizes of dogs. A bonus is that she can also drive and is an increasingly good and reliable driver.”


Holly C.
“Holly has walked our two rescue dogs for us several times. One is a sight hound cross, the other a jackxspringer. Both dogs absolutely adore Holly and get more excited when they see her than they do when a member of the family arrives. She has a calmness about her that the dogs certainly recognise and cannot do enough for her. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Holly for dog walking or pet sitting.”
