About: I have owned dogs all my life and have experience training, walking and caring for them. I have owned several types of dogs so have learnt to handle different personalities. I have experience caring for dogs other than ones I own as well, such as babysitting for neighbours, extended family members and friends. I currently am a student at the university of York, on summer break until October. During this period I have no academic obligations, so my schedule is completely flexible seven days a week—including evenings and weekends. This open availability allows me to commit readily to regular or one-off engagements, accommodate last-minute requests, and dedicate consistent time and attention wherever it is needed. At home, I follow a consistent, safety-first routine: each of my dogs enjoys two purposeful walks every day, never less than an hour per outing. Whether we’re on-lead along busy pavements or in a secured, off-lead exercise area, I use well-fitted harnesses, high-visibility gear, and clear verbal cues to keep every dog under confident control. Years of working with energetic pups, strong pullers, and shy seniors have sharpened my ability to read canine body language and respond calmly to everything from sudden leash reactivity to distracted wandering. I proactively manage encounters with unfamiliar dogs—maintaining distance when needed, redirecting focus with positive reinforcement, and ensuring that every outing remains relaxed, enjoyable, and incident-free.

About: Hey, I’m Lauren! I live in Milton Keynes but I am more than happy to travel to other areas outside of MK to provide services. I have spent a lot of time growing up with dogs and have always been passionate about all animals. We have had 3 family dogs over the past 12 years, 2 of which have been reactive, so I am very used to being around and taking care of dogs who have some behavioural issues. I know each pet is different, and has their own routine, needs and personality. I have just returned from a backpacking trip where I volunteered daily for 7 weeks at 2 different dog shelters in Indonesia. The dogs ranged from young puppies to seniors and all had very different temperaments, energy levels and needs, so I feel well equipped to care for a wide variety of dogs confidently. I am generally available all days of the week, and as I am not currently in a full-time job, I can ensure your dog’s usual routine stays exactly the same whilst you are away. I will follow feeding schedules, walk times, medication administration and any other instructions closely. I love to go on long walks when they need it but am also happy to chill and cuddle up on the sofa with them. The most important thing for me is that your dog is happy and comfortable, and that you have peace of mind that they are being well cared for

About: I have pet care experience since the age of 10 when I first got my dog, Barney! I now have another dog Rusty who is 3, and a tortoise named Toby. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles and rodents, with experience walking, feeding, bathing and playing! I absolutely love animals and would love to be able to help out with your animal needs. I am currently on summer holidays from my university until late September so I have plenty of time to care and play with your pets! Once I am back at university I will be able to do evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends. I have a walled garden, and two lovely dogs at home who can play with your pets and keep them company. There are plenty of toys, water bowls and food bowls and a safe environment for your furry friend. Any requirements such as crates etc please let me know and I would be happy to accommodate. I aim to keep your pets routine as similar as possible and treat your home as if it’s my own, so you can feel assured that your pet is cared for and safe while you are away.

About: I am currently the dog owner to milo who is 3 years old and a cocker spaniel. I got milo as a puppy and toilet trained him as well as training him to recall, sit, paw and wait patiently for his food. I love the outdoors and being active so you can be rest assured your dog will be well walked and cared for. I have a fenced back garden and live opposite a country park as well as other great walks close by. Milo is great around other dogs and very friendly. Milo unfortunately has addison's disease for which he is medicated daily but leads a very healthy life and unlike most spaniels he is calm. I understand what it means to love and look after a dog and how precious they are. I am also have a valid DBS I am currently on materinity leave until October so I am available to dog sit, board or simply take your dog for a walk whenever you need. With having another dog I would ask for a meet up first to see how our dogs interact and that your dog is also okay with being around a baby and that you are also okay with that. I have a fenced garden with plenty of run around space. There are plenty of great walking spots close by. With having a cocker spaniel that needs a lot of attention I know how to care for a dog and understand and meet their needs.

About: I’ve owned a dog for over 30 years (I know I don’t look old enough in my profile picture), from Westies, a Dachshund, a Cavapoo and now our amazing Cockerpoo! I am experienced in dealing with puppies, dogs with anxiety, and providing lots of cuddles and attention! I’m Craig and I’m available to care for your dog. My wife Suzanne also works from home to provide additional attention or walks where required. I have a good size house with an enclosed garden, lots of outside space for long countryside walks. We currently have a 2 year old male Cockerpoo who is very good with other dogs and has experience of living with older dogs.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life, and having had various pets including my own cat for 22 years, I know what it means to be a devoted pet parent. I am dedicated to providing exceptional care for your fur baby in the comfort of their own home, and offer reassurance and peace of mind whilst you are away. As an additional layer of protection, I am also fully DBS checked. I currently work from home, and am available for drop ins/home visits and walks from Mon - Sun between 7am and 7pm, up to three visits per day. I am also more than happy to do lunchtime visits if your pet just needs someone to check in on them in the day. Love and safety are my priorities, as having taken care of my own cat for over 20 years, I understand the importance of a safe and comfortable environment, and with someone you can trust. I take all aspects of your pet's care into consideration, including their individual nature, specific needs, and daily routine.

About: I have a full driving licence and car and I'm willing to travel to Brackley, Towcester and surrounding villages. I am responsible and patient with 2 labradors - Annie and Penny - at home, as well as Tipsy the cat and Lewis Capaldi and Pablo the guinea pigs. I am available for casual dog walking, drop ins and pet sitting in your home. I am also available to check-up, feed and play with cats. Happy to transport dogs in my car for walks in local woods. My sister is also training to be a Vet Nurse so I have a trusted source of information at the end of the line for any emergencies. Please reach out if you have any questions 😊 I have just moved back from University in Manchester, having grown up in Helmdon. I am working mostly remotely and finding myself a little bored, looking to spend my time productively and can’t think of a better way! If I am dog sitting, I will probably bring my laptop as I am still completing my Masters but will make sure there are lots of breaks for play 😊 I have experience dog sitting in peoples homes. I always listen carefully to instructions and ensure the dogs routine is followed as closely as possible.

About: Over 25 years experience as a dog owner from puppies all the way up to adulthood, also dog sitting for friends and family when required. I do not have any work commitments and want to spend my time doing what I love most which is looking after and caring for dogs I have a fully fenced secure garden and many lovely walks nearby. My house has plenty of room for the dogs to roam. I have a senior Labrador who loves company.

About: I've always looked after my family pet. Whether it was a dog or a cat! I love them equally and would love to spend time with them. I work full time in the week so would only be able to weekends. So if that works for you, please message me. Thank you I'm currently renting so I'm not allowed pets in my home. Sorry for the inconvenience. Hopefully I will have my place soon, so I can accommodate.

About: Edit: Note I'm not currently accepting short notice day care or overnight requests. Please feel free to message if you'd like to discuss further. I've grown up with pets my whole life. Our childhood dogs (Cassie and Rufus) lived to be 21 and 15 respectively and they were truly part of the family. I love animals, especially dogs, and can't help but make a big fuss of them. I'm that annoying friend who will stop to cross the road to pet a dog or cat. I'm reliable, organised, kind, conscientious and my experience of looking after animals makes me the ideal carer for your pet. If you give me a set of instructions, I will follow them to a T. For those dogs who want to visit, I live in a large house with a secure, lawned garden out the back. I can provide blankets, a dog basket, or of course more than happy to use your own. I do allow pets on the furniture for those who enjoy a snuggle! We have a 4 year old female rescue who is nervous. I'm available weekdays as well as weekends as I've moved to working from home. My partner is here the majority of the time so we can both keep an eye. Our garden is secure and they will only have access to rooms which are safe. Having a dog ourselves means that we don't leave anything lying around that your dog might decide to pick up and eat.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and caring for dogs is something that brings me genuine joy. When you leave your pup with me, they’re not just being looked after—they’re also giving me happiness and companionship in return. What sets me apart from other sitters is my calm, nurturing approach and my experience with both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs. I’m patient with training basics and attentive to the special needs of older pets, making sure every dog feels safe, loved, and right at home. I work part-time, usually from 9 to 1 most days, with the occasional 4 to 7 shift. This schedule gives me a perfect window in the middle of the day to come home, walk, feed, and spend time with your dog. Most days, I’m home by early afternoon, so we’ll have plenty of time together for play, cuddles, and companionship. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or visiting them in theirs, I always aim to create a calm, loving, and safe environment. At home, I have a secure fenced garden that’s perfect for fresh air, playtime, and exploring. I live in a lovely, peaceful area that's great for dog walks, and our home is quiet and pet-friendly. There are no other pets or young children—just me, my sister, and our mum and dad, all of whom are animal lovers just like me. Your pet will be treated like part of the family, with plenty of attention, cuddles, and care tailored to their individual needs.

About: I have had my family dog for five years now and look after him regularly. I’ve also looked after a family friends dogs, including an elderly dog. I love being active and taking dogs on long walks, but I’m also happy to chill with dogs in their homes. I am soon to finish university so we’ll be at home full-time over the summer. Occasionally I work a part-time job but primarily will be dog walking! I want your dogs to feel as comfortable as possible and ensure they have a great time. I will cater to yours and your pups needs, whether thats giving them a cuddle on the sofa during a daily check in or taking them on a long stimulating walk.

About: I have cared for my family dog for almost 15 years taking for walks, playing, vets, taking care of his coat keeping it looking fresh. Also I am currently training my own puppy who is 6 months old. I'm at home all day so can attend to your dogs needs anytime throughout even if they need a little walk, play or even a little cuddle. I have a very excited and playful 6 month old puppy that will keep your dog very entertained, my home is very safe and secure with its own little run around area for my dog to run around on its own.

About: Since I was born I’ve been around animals, at 4 it was riding and looking after horses, at 7 I got my first dog, and at 19 I set up my dog grooming business! At the moment just starting out on rover, I am available on Fridays as they are my least busy days for grooming. I’ll be able to do drop ins and walks. I have walked and done drop ins for friends before, and I am very knowledgeable of many different breeds of dogs due to my grooming experience.
