About: Experience training large breeds, reactive dogs and recent puppy training experience. Experience with Springer Spaniels, Dobermans, Bully Breeds, French Bull Dogs and Golden Retrievers but I am confident with all breeds. Just moved out on my own and miss the company of pets, I know how difficult it can be finding pet care around work schedules so expect me to be reliable and flexible. Preferably I will care for your dog in the comfort of your own home but I am happy to do boarding in my home if required. I work remotely, so I will be working Monday - Friday but I am able to give your dog the love and attention is needs/deserves. I will take away the stress of the morning rush, dropping your dog at day care - I will come to you at a time preferred, I can do morning and lunch time walks also.

“Simone has been fantastic, she came round to meet my fur babies before the booking and during the booking lots of updates and picks of the walks and cuddles at home, highly recommend and feel so relived to have found someone who I can rebook and go away without worrying. Thanks Simone!x”


About: I’ve looked after animals my entire life! My love for animals lead me to do a level 3 Animal management course in college! I then went onto study animal behaviour and welfare in University. While studying, I worked at a doggy day care. I cared for many dogs at the day care, including a wide range of breeds, ages and sizes. Doing this really give me an understand of the care needed at their different stages of life. After university, I then completed a dog grooming course and started working in a dog grooming salon. This gave me the opportunity to work 1-1 with each dog. Though this, I experienced many different behaviours, from anxious and nervous to reactive and aggressive. Also though dog grooming, I’ve worked with puppies all the way to senior dog and I’ve leant the best ways to deal with dogs at the different stages of life. I also did volunteer work at a vet practice, and I am also dog first aid trained. The welfare of the animals will always be my top priority! I am already doing dog walking and pet sitting outside of rover! Currently, I have complete availability of when I can pet sit! I would love to carry on with in this field of work and hopefully make it my full time job! I will always listen to what the owner says no matter what. If there are any concerns from me, I will always communicate them to make sure your pets are in the absolute best care. I am dog first aid trained, and I also have a car so if any vet tips were needed for any reason, I can get your pet there quickly and safely.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life of different breeds, I’ve also had family trust me with their dogs for weeks at a time. I currently own a German shepherd but I have owned a Yorkshire terrier, a bulldog and a jack Russell in the past! I have also volunteered at a local doggy daycare called Frankie’s for 3 months where I looked after 35+ dogs and made sure the daycare was fun and safe! I’m currently unemployed so I have all day and night to spend time with your fur baby, whether it’s just a little check in and play or a full day care I’m free! I have walked dogs, clear up after them, play with them, fed them and trained them! I enjoy creating mind exercises for the dogs to keep them busy and engaged!

“Came to Look after Dougie last min in my home. She was good at communicating, giving me regular updates about Dougie. I would recommend Chandini and trusted her in my home and looking after my dog. I hope you can look after him again if needed. Thanks again ☺️”


“Sid has his first overnight stay last weekend and had a great time and was spoilt rotten. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mick for any dog care, we will definitely be using Mick again in the near future.”


About: I've had pets (dogs and cats) almost all of my life, and became a veterinary nurse straight after leaving college. I just love animals! My vet experience means that I am happy to care for any pets who may have additional medical or care needs, and that I am pet first aid trained. I currently work part-time (3 days a week) and on my days off I spend most of my time at home or dog walking, so pets will have someone with them most of the time. We have a large fenced garden to play in, with grass and paved areas, so plenty of space for games and cuddles. I love dog walks on my days off in many of the local parks.

“Amazing as always, Catherine house sat our dog Richie for 7 days. She kept us updated with how he was and was didn’t hesitate to ask questions, Richie has enjoyed his time and Catherine has definitely kept him busy as he’s snoring away into late morning when we got home, Catherine had left the house spotless, and has even washed the bedding & towels that she used and put back on/put away. Can’t say thank you enough and can’t recommend her enough especially for peace of mind whilst you are away, she is perfect for the job x”


About: I have been taking care of pets since 8 years now. Along with my husband, I moved countries, leaving our pets ( 2 dogs and 2 cats) behind with our loving family who currently take care of them! Making use of all this built up love and longing for our fur babies till we meet them again! x I am currently on mat leave and husband works 4 days which gives us plenty of time to board according to our availability and your needs. We have a fenced garden outside but the cats will be mostly inside our house which is secure and with me at home at all times, safety isn’t a problem.


“Debbie and Andrew looked after Luna for 2 nights and weee absolutely fantastic, they kept me up to date with how she was doing with lots of communication and pictures. Would recommend them to anyone. Thanks again”


About: I’m on a mission to turn my passion for dogs into a full-time career, and your dog could directly benefit. With two dog training diplomas under my belt and more in progress, I’m not just offering dog walks — I’m offering free dog training along the way. Because I’m currently learning to become a qualified professional trainer, every walk is also a chance for your dog to build better behaviour, manners, and confidence at no extra cost. It’s a win-win: your dog gets exercise and gentle training, and I gain the hands-on experience I need to start up my own professional dog training business. My routine is flexible as I currently work 2–3 days a week, so my availability can vary. I offer most mid-week walks and am also available for weekend walks and pet care. Just drop me a message to check a time that works! Dogs in my care are kept safe in a secure, fenced garden with locked gates, so there’s no chance of escape. I live in a calm area with plenty of parks nearby for enriching walks, and I make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and well-looked after while they’re with me.

“Stephanie was fantastic leading up to the sit and visited numerous times to ensure our pup was familiar with her and they built a good relationship from these visits. She was very thorough with care details and clearly wanted to make sure she was caring for our dog in the right way. During the stay, she sent lots of updates and photos of walks and activities and it was lovely to see how much fun they were having together. On arriving home, our house looked untouched and the dog very well cared for! We will definitely be booking Stephanie again!!”


“Caitlin was fantastic with our dogs and it was lovely to meet her. She quickly understood what we needed her to do and did it well. I would certainly recommend her. Thank you Caitlin.”


“Ellie looked after Bonnie overnight and was fantastic. Bonnie really took to Ellie immediately which was great to say. We were kept informed informed with messages, pictures and videos throughout her visits during the 24 hours. Nothing was too much trouble for Ellie who made sure Bonnie was comfortable at all times. Would highly recommend Ellie and will definitely be using her services again.”


“I recently had the pleasure of having Rebecca look after my two dogs while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. Despite accepting the booking on short notice, Rebecca was incredibly punctual and reliable. My dogs, who can be quite shy, warmed up to her almost immediately, which speaks volumes about her friendly and caring nature. Rebecca went above and beyond by sending me regular photos and updates, which gave me peace of mind knowing my pets were in good hands. She is truly lovely and doesn’t hesitate to go the extra mile to ensure everything is perfect. I wouldn’t want anyone else to house sit for me next time I need this service. Highly recommended!”


About: Since I was 8 years old, we have always had dogs in the family. I bought my own house a couple of years ago and whilst I currently work from home all the time, there is a chance I may be back in the office or need to travel for work in the future. Due to these circumstances, I have been unable to commit to having my own pet. I miss having a dog and it would bring me a lot of joy to help you look after your pet temporarily. I work from home every day and have flexible working hours which give me the opportunity to go walking whenever. This gives me the time to provide your pet with the care and attention they deserve. I have a private fenced off rear garden which has a mixture of patio, grass and decking. I also live close to several walks which I can adapt the length to meet the needs of your pet(s). I'm happy to let your pet(s) on the furniture or/and the bed. I will also update you with pictures of how your pet is doing whilst in my care.

About: Had pets in the family for all my life. All breeds of dogs from Jack Russell’s, cockapoos, greyhounds and Rottweilers. Many of them rehomes meaning I’m confident in handling dogs that may need more attention, nurturing and support. I primarily work from home as a technology consultant, meaning I’m flexible around getting your pooch out and about for exercise and play. I’m an early bird, so no problem around wake up calls for the furry pal wanting to get out. We have a fenced garden with half an acre and f fresh grass areas. We have a super friendly and submissive cockapoo, he wants to be everyone’s friend, is old enough to understand when others aren’t in a playful mood. Routine is early morning walk, mid morning play, lunchtime stroll and an evening hike. Timings can be flexible and amount of physical exercise can be adapted.

Chloe B.
“Chloe is one of those rare people who truly understands animals. She’s been around pets her entire life, growing up in a household full of dogs. From a young age, she was the go-to person in her family for anything pet-related, whether it was feeding, walking, grooming, or just spending quality time keeping them happy and calm. Her experience has shaped her into a responsible, loving, and intuitive pet sitter. Chloe has had dogs of her own who were the centre of her world, and it shows in the way she treats all animals, with care, patience, and genuine affection. She’s dependable, communicative, and always goes the extra mile. You can trust Chloe not just to take care of your pets, but to treat them like family. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your animals as much as you do, Chloe is the one.”

Leanna B.
“Leanna has often looked after our two dogs and two cats. We had a senior Yorkshire Terrier (RIP), a German Shepherd, and two cats. She fed them, played and walked them all. She entertained them and put their needs first. Leanna loved our pets and even when times got tough with our senior Yorkie, Leanna always put him first. Dogs gravitate to Leanna for her loving nature, calm demeanour, and fun. Leanna is always the first person our friends and family turn to for caring for their pets. I would highly recommend Leanna to anyone who wants their pet to be taken good care of.”

Matthew T.
“5 STAR. Matthew is a dog person. He has helped me raise my dog for years including teaching her her first tricks and also helping her get over her fear of water. I think the best thing about Matthew is his ability to mimic a dogs energy. If he is with a younger or energetic dog he can play with them for ages or if the dog is chilled/ older he is happy just to snuggle them. He doesn’t have a dog at the moment but has grown up with them and always been around them. He is fantastic with mine and I am always confident when he dog sits for me. Couldn’t recommend more.”
