About: I work well with animals of all ages and always try hard to meet their specific needs, whether that involves high-energy playtime for pets or patient, gentle support for senior pets who need extra comfort. Having looked after the pets of friends and family, I come highly recommended as a reliable sitter who treats every animal like my own. I am comfortable following strict feeding schedules, administering basic medication, and providing the consistent attention your pets deserve while you are away. I work full-time, but I am fully available on Monday and Wednesday mornings, as well as throughout the weekends for longer sits and adventures. With a little advance notice, I am also happy to provide lunchtime visits for quick walks or check-ins. I genuinely love being outdoors in the fresh air, so walking your pets fits perfectly into my lifestyle. Whether it’s an energetic morning hike or a midday stretch, I’ll ensure your animals get the exercise and attention they need to stay happy and healthy. When caring for pets in your home, their safety and the security of your property are my top priorities. I start every stay with a Meet & Greet to walk through your specific routines, home security (like alarm codes or key placement), and any 'off-limits' areas. During my visits, I ensure all gates and doors are double-checked and locked. I follow your household rules strictly to maintain a consistent environment for your pets, reducing their stress while you’re gone. You can expect regular photo updates and messages after our walks or feedings so you have total peace of mind that your home is secure and your pets are happy, healthy, and well-cared for.

About: ** New to this app, Happy to do a meet a greet before hand to make sure I am a good fit for you, or alternatively please reach out message or phone call** I’ve had dogs since the age of 6. I’ve always been an avid animal lover. From school I worked in a veterinary practice as an assistant for a few years before going off to study at university. I’ve had 4 dogs and 2 cats. All of them I have treated like my children. Currently I work longer days on Monday-Thurs which doesn’t allow me to have a pet of my own. However I do have availability on Friday - Sunday and if given notice I would happy take requests that are outwith these days as I love the aspect of caring for an animal. Please reach out to me if you have any questions and il be so happy to board your furry babies! I have availability at weekends and every second Friday. I don’t have many plans at the weekend as I like to potter around go for walks visit cafes and new places. I would adore a pet of my own but because of my longer days it isn’t feasible at this time, which is why I want to do Rover. I would love to spend time with animals and give them the attention and trust they deserve! As an avid animal lover I have worked in a veterinary practice and have also volunteered at the dog and cat shelter. I own my home in a lovely quiet neighbourhood with no traffic. I have my own back garden which is high fenced and gets the sunshine all day as it’s south facing. I live in a town where there are lots of fields and lots of trails to take your doggies out for long walks, I also enjoy taking my brothers dogs out to surrounding beaches as they love the ocean and running on the sand. I enjoy meeting up with friends who have dogs and we go to cafes to get coffee and of course the dogs come too. I live along and keep my warm cosy quiet and a perfect environment for those little ones that are extra timid.
“My little doggy absolutely loved Maia. She was such a great help as I needed to book last minute and it was no problem. She was so friendly, communicative, and kept me updated the whole time with photos and videos which I really appreciated. It was so nice seeing how happy my dog was while out on the walk. My dog also made a new friend with Maia’s dog which was adorable, and it’s clear he absolutely loved Maia. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with Maia again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker!🩷🩷🩷”

About: I’ve had animals all of my life. From puppies and kittens to senior animals and strays. I’ve always found animals take to me well, it’s like they can tell I prefer them to humans. Working part-time can be a great way to balance responsibilities while still having enough free time to pursue other interests, like pet sitting. With a flexible schedule, I can dedicate my afternoons or weekends to caring for pets, ensuring they get the attention and love they need when their owners are away. This not only provides a rewarding experience but also allows me to earn some extra income while enjoying the company of furry friends. Having had 2 dogs and 3 cats. I have smashed the safety aspect of an in closed garden. I tend to adore every animal I ever meet & typically prefer them to people.
About: All though I don’t have any pets at the moments I’v have a few dogs over the years. Iv watched friends and family’s dogs when they’ve been on holiday and always love a dogs company. As a full time worker my availability would be flexible for walks. But my partner works opposite shifts so if I was boarding a dog then there would be some one at home with the dog most of the time. I know just how different all dogs are and like different things. I will adjust to there needs to give them the best possible care that I can. I have a fully fenced secure back garden, but I would never leave your dog unattended in it as I never did with my own.
About: I’ve walked dogs for over 5+ years from friends to neighbours dogs. No dog is the same, message me to discuss your dogs needs today! I work from home and I am available in the area on the weekends too. Message me for availability and I can see what I can do for you. I’ve a 6ft fence around my property. I always walk dogs on their leads, and short lead in busy and crowded areas. I have experience in teaching dogs how to walk properly. I walk the dog - the dog doesn’t walk me!
About: Hi! 👋🏼 I'm Dionne! - Your dogs new best friend! Dogs have been at the centre of my world for years, and now caring for them is what I do full-time.🐶💖 I'm a very friendly, loving and caring person. I love to uplift people who are around me, as it makes me happy seeing others happy and seeing the passion that comes out of people when you support them in doing what they love. - I love animals too, Especially dogs! Dogs hold a special place in my heart, they are such wonderfully social creatures, and I adore getting to know all their unique personalities. I pride myself on creating a safe, loving experience where your pup feels supported, comfortable, and truly cared for. Whether it’s walks, play, or just being a calm, reassuring presence, I’m dedicated to making your dog’s time with me as happy as possible. I don't have a dog of my own, but I'd absolutely be honoured to take your dog out on one of my walking adventures or have them stay over, for as long as you'd like. Just let me know which service you'd like, and I'll most likely be available to help you. -------------------------------------- 💖 A personal note: On my profile, you’ll see photos of two very special boys — Star (The whippet) and McCoy (The Lhasa apso) — Who both hold a permanent place in my heart. 🌟 Star was a very happy whippet and my very first Rover booking. We became best friends instantly, and I was lucky enough to see him regularly. Always asking for sausages (even after I’d already given him two!), he brought so much joy to our walks, occasional playful moments, and cuddle sessions. Star didn’t play much, being an older boy, but every moment with him was special — from him running up the stairs to greet me, to his sweet little whippet face. He passed away on 03/08/23 at 5:00 pm, and although my heart broke hearing the news, I’m forever grateful for the bond we shared. Star will always be a cherished part of my Rover journey. 🐾 McCoy was one of my first regular bookings and quickly became my wee best pal. A quiet soul, he’d come for affection on his own terms, sometimes joining me on the couch before toddling off to curl up in his bed like the cosiest wee boy. He had his playful moments too, especially after a good walk, and I’ll always remember his gentle, comforting presence. Both Star and McCoy left paw prints on my heart that will never fade. Though they’re no longer here, the love and memories we shared will live on forever. 🌈❤️ -------------------------------------- Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do — it’s my daily routine and my full-time passion. 🐾 I'll try to go out of my way as much as possible to help you with whichever dates you'd prefer ✌🏻❤️ Your pup will be treated like family here: ✨ A safe, loving home where they can feel comfortable ✨ Plenty of walks, play, and cuddles tailored to their personality ✨ Regular photo & video updates so you always feel connected I enjoy making you happy, allowing you to comfortably leave your best friend in my hands, where you'll receive regular video and photo updates as much as you'd like and being able to show you that your best friend is being loved and cared for as if they were my own. I appreciate each and every one of my clients, and I especially appreciate my regular clients who allow me to regularly have fun with their but now, also my best friend, due to their regular bookings. I'm happy to now be your full time Fairy Dogmother, Haha! 🌸 Why pet parents choose me: Because I go beyond basic care. I take the time to get to know your dog — their quirks, comforts, and even anxieties. If your pup has special needs, I’ll work with you to make sure they’re supported every step of the way. Every booking is personal to me, and many of my clients have become like extended family — their dogs are just as excited to see me as I am to see them. That bond means everything. 💖 📸 A little extra: I studied photography in college, so capturing your dog’s personality is one of my favourite parts of the job. Clients often tell me how much they love the photos I take — some have even framed them for their walls! Knowing those memories mean so much to you makes my heart so happy. I love sharing the joy these pups bring into my life, and I’d love for you to be part of it too. 💖 Search "Dionne’s Dogs" on Facebook and follow along for updates, sweet photos, and plenty of wagging tails. 🐾📸 🏡 Safety, Trust & Environment Your dog’s safety and happiness always come first. I provide a secure, fenced home where I live with my mum that has plenty of space for play and rest. And because I don’t have a dog of my own, your pup gets my undivided love and attention. There are a few grassy areas near me where I like to take dogs and let them have a good run around. I also make sure to learn about each dog’s individual needs — whether it’s special care, anxieties, or just their favourite daily routine — so they feel at home and fully supported.

About: I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for at all times. I’ve always loved animals, which led me to study and work in animal welfare. I hold a degree in Animal Science and an HND in Animal Care, giving me a strong understanding of animal health, behaviour, and wellbeing. I also have over a year of hands-on experience in an animal welfare/rescue role, where I cared for animals in a wide range of situations. This helped me build confidence in handling, behaviour assessment, and providing the right care for different needs. Alongside this, I’ve volunteered in veterinary practices, gaining experience with different breeds, temperaments, and medical needs. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and currently have two dogs of my own, a Labrador called Oakley and a miniature dachshund called Lilly. Oakley came from a puppy farm, so I’ve gained a lot of real-life experience working with a more sensitive, high-energy dog. Over the past couple of years, I’ve worked with behaviourists, which has helped me better understand dog behaviour, body language, and how to keep dogs calm, settled, and comfortable. I’m also experienced in administering medication. Growing up, my family dog had diabetes and Cushing’s disease, and I was responsible for daily medication, including insulin injections. I have experience with a wide range of animals including small furries, reptiles and amphibians, birds of prey, poultry, livestock, UK wildlife and some exotics. I’m passionate about enrichment and believe it’s key to a dog’s wellbeing. I aim to provide a good balance of exercise, mental stimulation, and interaction whether that’s walks, playtime, training, or puzzle-based activities. I took my dog to some scent work classes to get his brain going and to use his natural instincts for mental stimulation. Due to the experience I have, I’m confident caring for pets with a wide range of needs. Whether your pet is energetic, more sensitive, requires medication, or just loves a cuddle, I’ll always tailor my care to suit them. I know how important it is to stay connected with your pet while you’re away, so I provide regular updates with photos and messages for peace of mind - and to show your pet enjoying their holiday just as much as you are. I’m always happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand so we can get to know each other, go over your pet’s routine, and make sure everyone feels comfortable. I am first aid trained through my previous studies at level 8, however I keep this up to date by attending CPD training days to keep my skill set up to date as a refresher. Your pet will be in the best of care at all times😊 I currently work full-time Monday to Friday, but I have a flexible schedule and can plan my own workload, allowing me to accommodate pet care where needed. I can be a little busier during the spring and summer months - I sometimes work away up to 12 days at a time, however I am quieter in the winter. I will always do my best to try and fit you in. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch - I’d love to help 🙂 Dog Boarding; Your dog will be welcomed into a loving, family style home where they’ll feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. There are 2 cats that live here and 2 dogs of my own, however they will be kept separate from your pet during their stay to ensure everyone feels relaxed and secure. There are doors on every room and extra tall baby gates on the key rooms where your dogs and my ow pets will be staying - therefore a more secure set-up to prevent escapes and/ or any animals coming in to contact with each other. There are no young children in the home, and I have a secure outdoor garden with two 6-foot fences and two lockable gates. There is also a local roam-free park just 5 minutes away, where your dog(s) can enjoy off-lead exercise, as well as relaxed on-lead walks. A meet and greet will always be arranged beforehand, and I’m happy to offer collection and drop-off for your convenience, so your dog can enjoy their own little holiday too. Your dog will never be left alone (unless previously agreed) and will be part of the daily home routine, receiving plenty of attention, affection, and care. I tailor each stay to your dog’s individual personality and needs, whether that means lots of playtime, cuddles, or enjoyable walks. I provide exclusive 1-to-1 care, meaning your pet will be the only animal(s) from an outside household in my care at any one time. This ensures consistent supervision, attention, and comfort during their stay. My goal is to make your dog feel completely at home while giving you full peace of mind that they’re in a safe and caring environment. House Sitting; When house sitting, I care for your dog(s) or cat(s) in the comfort of their own home, helping them feel relaxed and secure in their familiar surroundings. They will receive the same level of care and attention as they would when boarding with me. My overnight house sitting rate covers up to 12 hours of care. Any additional time outside of this is classed as extended daytime care and will be charged accordingly. I am happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and any specific requirements to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning bowls, walks and/or garden time, administering medication if required, plenty of play and affection. For safety, dogs are kept on a lead during walks unless in a secure, designated roam-free area. Off-lead walking may be considered once trust and a relationship have been built, or if your dog has reliable recall. I will keep you regularly updated with messages, photos, and videos, so you can feel reassured while your pet is in my care. I’m also happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand to ensure both you and your pet feel completely comfortable. The rate shown on my profile for house sitting is for the overnight service. If you wish for your pets to be cared for in your own home (daycare / night care but in your own home) - this can be booked under ‘house sitting’. I offer a separate rate for this service which can be adjusted after you send the request through. Overnight house sitting includes standard care with the ability to leave for short periods. Pets needing full-time supervision are very welcome - this is priced slightly differently. For bookings outside my local area or requiring travel over a certain amount of time, a small travel fee may apply to cover time and transport. Pet collection/drop-off can also be arranged - please message to discuss. Dog walking; I’m always happy to help where I can! My availability can vary during the spring and summer months due to occasional work commitments away from home. If you get in touch, I’m happy to share my upcoming availability and see how I can fit around your needs. During autumn and winter, I’m generally much more consistent and available for regular bookings. In spring and summer, I’m best suited for occasional, short-term, or emergency dog walking requests. Where key handovers are needed (Drop-in Visits etc), keys provided during the meet & greet, via lockbox, or posted through the letterbox after the service has been completed is free of charge. If separate trips are required for key collection or return, a small fee may apply to cover additional travel time. Any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch 🐾
About: I have always grown up with animals from rabbits, birds, dogs etc. I currently watch family friends dogs and my old neighbours if needed. I also take care of friends pets such as a rabbit and bird 🥰✨ I currently work part time but I will have plenty of time to check in on your pups or better yet have them over 😁, I have a 2 year old who has grown up round about dogs and other animals who also loves playing fetch with the pups I have a spacious back garden that the dogs can have some fun in and I also have birds that are caged so they will enjoy having a nosey at them too 🦜
About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as i can remember. Caring for and helping animals is my greatest joy, and to be able to give extra love to all your furry family’s would be amazing. I’m only working 1 week out of 3 just now within my work as there was a fire forcing my Starbucks store to close. Although this is a terrible thing I thought what a perfect time to do this as I’ve always wanted to. Most weeks I’m available anytime, anyday to help you and your furry friends. I currently can’t do boarding in my own home, but I’m more than happy and available to care for your pets in your own home. I have so much time for animals and love playing with them, I have so much love to give and a whole lot of time on my hands! So all the time in the world to keep your pets busy :)
About: Hi, I’m Cirila — I’d love to look after your pet while you’re away and make sure they feel happy, safe and relaxed. I’ve grown up with animals and have over 10 years of pet-sitting experience. I share my home with Fox, my gentle and friendly lurcher, who’s calm, well socialised, and used to having other dogs around. I’m self-employed, so I’m home most of the time and can give your pet plenty of attention, cuddles, and company. Dogs staying with me get at least one nice long walk a day, plus extra walks or playtime depending on what they enjoy. I’m also happy to pet-sit in your home if that’s what your pet prefers. I have experience looking after cats and budgies, as well as small animals. I really enjoy getting to know each pet and treating them like part of the family. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered!) friend 🐶🐱🦜 Pet care is part of my everyday life. I’m self-employed, so I only take bookings when I’m working from home or on holiday, meaning your pet always has company. My own lurcher, Fox, keeps me on a routine of walks, playtime, and chill time — so looking after another dog just fits right in. I make sure every pet gets plenty of exercise, attention and a comfortable, calm day. In my home: Your dog becomes part of the family. They get daily walks, lots of company, playtime, and whatever routine you prefer. Fox is very friendly and enjoys having a buddy around. In your home: I follow your pet’s usual routine so they feel at home. I’m tidy, respectful, and send plenty of photo updates. With your permission, I may bring Fox along — he’s gentle and used to house-sitting with me.
About: Lived with and raised dogs now since I was 5 which gives me best part of 30 years experience. I work Monday to Friday which means I can dedicate my full time and attention to your furry ones at the weekend.

We have a fenced garden area in a very quiet area with little traffic passing through. They will be treated like another child in our care and never out of our sight!! I work throughout midweek so weekends are for the furry friends. This allows me to dedicate my sole focus to them and all of their needs We have a fully fenced in garden in an low traffic area which is perfect for housing your loved furry family members and keeping them safe and secure
About: I have a great affinity with dogs and easily form trusting relationships with them. I have attended puppy training classes with my own pets and would respect owners preferences regarding how they are looked after/ treats etc. I know that dogs are such important parts of families and I want to ensure that the dogs I am responsible for are cared for in a way that I would want my own dog to be. At the moment I am free during the week as it is the holidays and so am pretty flexible. I am a full time student and return to uni late September but will still be available depending on my timetable. I would use the facilities available and whatever the owners prefer. I would to checks to make sure any doors or gates are locked so that the dog is safe and secure when I leave.
