“Joseph looked after my Labrador Dougie overnight & we met up for a meet & greet a couple of days beforehand. I noticed that Dougie took to Joseph straight away & was happy in his company. Joseph is really good at communicating quickly & sending updates. I would have no hesitation in rebooking.”
“Adjian was really organised and a pleasure to deal with. Stanley obviously had a wonderful time as the second time he went to stay he rushed inside without hesitation - very unlike him! Highly recommended”
“Brigitte looked after our 7 month old Labrador brilliantly. We were obviously a bit nervous about leaving him behind when we went away for a few days but we were totally reassured by the lovely updates including photos and videos that Brigitte sent through. We picked up a happy and relaxed dog who’d enjoyed lots of lovely long walks and we’ll most certainly book again when we next go away. Thank you Brigitte!!”
About: I've been caring for cats and dogs for the past 7 years and genuinely love being part of a pet's life. Over the years, I've looked after friends' cats and regularly cared for my parents' dog, giving me experience with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the responsibility of caring for someone else's beloved companion very seriously. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I offer house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits throughout Bath and Bristol. You can expect reliable care, regular updates, and plenty of photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing the loving, attentive care they deserve! I work from home 3 days of the week so I can easily do house visits during the week - Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays! Whether this may be for playing, feeding or simply giving your little fur baby a little bit of company. I can also take your dog out for a walk during my lunch breaks and play tug of war (the real way to a dog’s heart)! I am also available weekends, I simply want to care for your pet in the best way possible :) As I live in a flat, I won’t be able to take care of your pets in my own home but I am more than happy to do house sits, check ins, and daily walks - whatever works best for you!
About: I will treat you dog just like my own. I have a 3 yr old very friendly male weimaraner and we are usually out on walks 2 or 3 times a day. The Bath Skyline Walk and National Trust land is directly behind our house so plenty of space to run around. I also have a fenced rear garden to use for toilet breaks. I work from home so always here to provide all the care and attention your puppers needs. Happy to arrange a meet and greet to ensure you are fully comfortable, just let me know. I work from home and usually out for walks a minimum 2 times a day with my own dog. Will walk in the morning (before 9am), lunchtime (around 1pm) and evening (after 5pm). I usually go for minimum 45mins walks each time. Happy to follow your instructions regarding walk time/duration and lead walking/off-lead walking. I have our own, very friendly, 3 year old Weimaraner to keep your dog company. During walk times we have a fenced garden for toilet breaks or general relaxation for you pupper.
“Jessica was great! very quick at communicating and kept us fully informed while Maia stayed with her, lots of pics and asked us all the things we forgot to mention. It was the first time we’d left Maia with anyone apart from friends and family but Jessica made it all super easy. Thanks again :)”
“Manognya did a wonderful job of looking after Guimauve. He was really happy to see her and had a wonderful time walking and being fussed on the sofa. Manognya is a really great dog sitter and we can’t recommend her highly enough.”
About: Having grown up with dogs in my family and gone on to work in professional kennels, I have hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I recently left my full-time job and as a result have flexibility to provide walks, day care and overnight stays. My aim is to provide a genuine alternative to kennels or large daycare, with a fun, and loving environment where I can give individual attention. I enjoy being active and genuinely love getting out for long walks every day, so your dog will never be short of adventure, fresh air, and exercise. I also have experience working with dogs who have anxiety or behavioural difficulties. I have a flexible schedule and am available on both weekdays and weekends. I also have a car which is set up for transporting dogs safely, and I am happy to provide pick up or drop offs. I live in house with an enclosed back garden. This provides a great environment for dogs to play. Likewise, inside the house there are various dog beds and toys!
“Everything went to plan and lucy seemed very relaxed when i collected her the next day, so all good. Had a few photos of Lucy on her walks. Would ask Francesca to look after Lucy again. Thank you.”
“Kira, our little dog, took immediately to Emily. Ended up on her lap for the last couple of hours, something she rarely does with other people. So she really enjoyed her time with Emily and felt comfortable, which was great.”
“Natalie was a fantastic sitter. We hadn’t used one before and our dog was on medication so, we were a little nervous. Natalie is an excellent communicator. She very quickly established a great rapport with Opal who was very relaxed and enjoyed her holiday as much as we did ours!”
“Fiamma and her partner Ben, they are amazing. Dark loves them and we always feel that she is in great hands while we are on holiday. Even when our flight was delayed, they were super helpful and nice. Highly recommended, they will be always our first choice!”
About: Canadian/Aussie Pet Sitter Newish to England here to help with loving your doggo's in your absence! My Story: I was the owner of a beautiful Cavoodle, Miley, for 15 years, she soul shatteringly passed away in Oct 2023 and to heal I started to dog sit in my neighborhood, a daily fur fix and being able to give love to a furry friend was incredibly healing. In December I took some time to heal further and booked a trip to visit friends in Bath, I loved it so much and when I returned to my empty home, I decided I wanted to make the move over. The universe must of been listening because my employer of 8 years made my position redundant, and I took that as the final sign that my time was up in Australia, and it was time to start a new life for myself in England. My Experience: I specialize in anxious doggo's that need full time company, and extra love and cuddles, I care for every pup as if they are my own and all of my clients I started beautiful relationships with and became one of their "hooman's", so much so that before I left Aus I had a farewell puppy party at the pub where I could say goodbye to all the beautiful furry souls that Miley sent to heal me! So now I'm on the hunt for my next furry friends! I have experience with all doggos big and small ranging from 3kg - 65KG (Yup one of my fav clients was a 6-month-old Tibetan sweetheart) Available most days and weekends. I work as local store manager in menswear and have sunday mondays off, my partner Andrew who is also a dog lover and has grown up his whole life with a dog works from home 4 days during the week so we are a 2 for 1 doggy sitter duo to help with availability. We are completely open to keeping to the dog's pace, from long walks and fetch for high energy border collies and working breeds, to cuddles and naps for an elderly poodle.

“Faboulous as always! Sophie is super reliable, tidy and the cats are always chilled and happy on our return. Thank you again, already booked for our next couple of trips :) ”
“Kenna is fantastic. She makes me feel so at ease leaving our 6 month old puppy. She keeps his routine and implements current training! Her communication is second to none and the pup dates are always an added bonus!”
“Ian did a great job feeding my cat, was available at short notice and communicated well throughout. Lots of great photos and updates whilst I was away too! Would highly recommend 😁”
“Lesley looked after our cats whilst we were away. She was brilliant. She sent us updates after each visit including photos. She spent time playing and giving our cats a little bit of love and attention. I would recommend her without hesitation. Thank you so much Lesley 🐈”
About: I have 5 granddogs, 2 grandcats, 2 grandpigs, 2 goddogs and numerous canine and cat nephews and nieces (not blood of course, they are the furry kids of my friends). They’re family 😁 Usually only available between June and January as I live in Colombia January to May. However do feel free to ask, especially if the dates that you require are close to the limits. If I'm here I can adapt my schedule. I work remotely as a geeky historical writer, so can be pretty much anywhere and what can be better than doing that whilst making new furry friends. I treat them as family, except when the sharing of food is the question. I don’t share food, just like my English goddog, Percy, doesn’t share his bone. With regard to communication - the number listed is now obsolete - my new number is Colombian because I live in Colombia for six months each year - Unfortunately Rover does not have a Colombia option. So best to email me or communicate through Rover.
“Gizem has been wonderful for our 1 year-old cat Monti. This was his first stay at someone else's house, so we knew he would be frightened, especially at the beginning. When he hid under the bed during the first night and meowed for a long time, Gizem's friendly nature encouraged him to come out and get some snacks. He started exploring his new surrounding and was eating as normal. Gizem also took Monti for walks, which he enjoys a lot, so I was grateful, he could still continue some of the routines when we were away. I really liked regular updates what Monti was doing and how much he was eating. The updates were sent throughout the day with photos attached, which reassured me he was fine and feeding well. I can strongly recommend Gizem as a brilliant pet sitter!”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life, I was born into a house with cats and have been raised looking after them, not only have I looked after my own cats I have also been responsible for looking after family, friends and neighbours cats
“We met Sonia on Rover and she has been helping us with our greyhound Thom for the past 2 weeks and has been phenomenal. She has been doing midday check ins. We received detailed updates and photos. We had to make some last minute schedule changes and Sonia had no problem and was very kind and responsive. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for kind and reliable service:)”
“We had Elsie and Olivia in for a long stint looking after our two ragdoll cats while we travelled for our wedding. From the very start they were very communicative and professional. They came for an initial visit to meet the cats and get acquainted with our home. Their love of cats was immediately obvious and very sweet to see. While away we got updates every single day with lots of pictures of our boys. They were meticulous in following our instructions. They made sure the cats had play time every day. They also did some hoovering around the house. It gave us a lot of peace of mind to enjoy our time away knowing our cats were so well cared for in their own environment. We would definitely recommend Olivia and Elsie and will be using their services again in the future.”
“We loved having Emma look after our cat for us again, she is very reliable and great communication before, during and after so we felt very at ease the whole time. We loved getting pictures and videos each day and our cat loved the attention of having someone visit :) thank you! ”
“Ayla was fab at cat sitting for Tigs. She was easy to communicate with and sent us lots of photos/videos. Tigs was sick while we were away and Ayla let us know about this, confirmed there was no need to worry and cleaned it up. Would be happy to recommend her and book again in the future. Thank you!”
“Renata was easy to make arrangements with and looked after our two cats very well while we were on holiday for a week. She also shared photos with us daily, so that we could see that the cats were staying happy and healthy!”
About: I have experience caring for cats of all personalities and breeds, from playful tabbies to independent tortoiseshells. I've looked after cats for extended periods, including stays of one to two weeks, ensuring they feel comfortable, cared for, and relaxed in their own environment. I love engaging cats with interactive play and enrichment activities to keep them mentally stimulated and entertained. Whether your cat enjoys chasing toys, exploring new games, or simply having a quiet companion nearby, I'm happy to adapt to their individual needs. Most importantly, I understand that every cat is unique. Building trust takes time, and I always respect a cat's boundaries and personality. As any cat lover knows, there's nothing more rewarding than earning a cat's confidence and becoming their trusted friend!
“Absolute Star - Cat did a phenomenal job with Louis, responding with great care and efficiency when Louis became unwell with a tummy upset during his time with her. She looked after him as if he was her own beloved and I cannot recommend her highly enough. There aren’t enough stars available to capture the full extent of our gratitude and now, happily, Louis is fully recovered and I think he can’t wait to see Cat again so he can thank her”
About: My partner and I are very tidy people, and we’re lucky that JOJO is also a very clean cat. Over the past two years, I’ve cleaned her litter box every morning and evening to make sure she can use it comfortably. JOJO is particular about her litter, so we provide a soft, fine-quality litter that’s gentle on her paws. JOJO loves running around the house, so to keep her safe and give her plenty of space to play, we keep our furniture minimal. She also dislikes drinking from dirty bowls, so I wash her water bowl every morning. She likes to eat different foods from different bowls, and so far we’ve bought 15 bowls for her—fortunately, she’s happy with all of them! With her short legs and long fur, we often look at the house from her perspective on the floor, which means we regularly clean the floors and keep the home tidy. Since moving to the UK, JOJO loves watching seagulls outside, but she actually prefers watching cars and people from the balcony—it’s just too cute. JOJO is very playful, so we’ve bought her lots of toys, and we play with her every morning and before bedtime. She also likes to eat with us, so we prepare her canned food during our meals. Over these two years, we’ve noticed many of her unique habits. Every year we throw a cute little birthday party for JOJO. She gets a birthday hat, her favorite canned food, and of course I get to blow out the candles for her, haha. I share all this to show that we take caring for any living being very seriously. I’ll observe your pet carefully, respect their personality, and make sure they feel happy and comfortable while spending time with me.

“Thank you so much for looking after Floki. It was my first time leaving him with a dog sitter and I can honestly say Erin and Andrew were both absolutely brilliant made me feel so at ease and kept me up-to-date the whole day with photos. Floki was so well looked after and was very happy. I honestly can’t thank you enough for taking such great care of my little boy.”
“Tim took great care of our doggy. He's back home looking tired and happy. Tim was really easy to communicate with, sent good pictures and kept us up to date throughout the day. Thank you!”
“An excellent experience from start to finish. They took the time to understand my dog's routine, personality, and needs, which made me feel confident leaving him in their care. The updates were thoughtful and reassuring, and it was obvious that my dog settled in quickly and enjoyed his stay. When I collected him, he was content, well exercised, and had clearly been given lots of attention. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again and would happily recommend them to other dog owners looking for reliable and attentive care.”
About: I will treat you dog just like my own. I have a 3 yr old very friendly male weimaraner and we are usually out on walks 2 or 3 times a day.

I have our own, very friendly, 3 year old Weimaraner to keep your dog company. During walk times we have a fenced garden for toilet breaks or general relaxation for you pupper.
“Francesca was a delight to communicate with. She kept me up to date throughout the day and made sure every need was met. I was surprised by the professional photos which were beautiful (maybe because he is so beautiful) but I must admit I have some amazing new wallpaper for my phone! Thank you so much for everything and so easy to relax knowing my boy was in great hands!”
About: I have extensive experience with animals, I grew up riding horses and volunteered at the riding school through most of my youth and early teenage years. We had two cats at home and also had hamsters, guinea pigs, and rabbits. I have also cared for ferrets, degus, goats, sheep, chickens, donkeys, rats, and mice. I study through an online university, leaving me with ample flexibility. This allows me to be with your pet exclusively, which benefits your pet in many ways. This particularly helps pets who experience separation anxiety from their owners. I have references and am DBS-checked to ensure security and reassurance. CPD accredited in dog first aid. I follow instructions very precisely to ensure your pet is cared for as you desire. I will keep you in the loop while you are away, I am happy to send you photographs and updates of how your pet is getting on. I treat every pet as though it were my own, giving them the love, attention and time they deserve :)
“Renata was great with comms leading up to the sit. although she had not looked after Billy before I was very confident handing him over after Renata took onboard the tips and instructions and asked sensible questions. She kept in touch with us through the day which is always reassuring. Will be really happy if she can sit for Billy again.”
“Thanks Sarah for taking good care of Maple. We booked Sarah last minute when we were on our holiday in Bath. Sarah responded quickly and looked after Maple when we were out for dinner. Maple was content and sleepy after we picked her up. Maple was also happy with Sarah and Maple was lying on her belly which is a sign of a relaxed Maple - shows how at ease my pup was being with Sarah. When we’re next in Bath, we will seek out Sarah again - thank you!”
“Oscar really likes staying with Ecrin. She's wonderful and is very interactive & active with Oscar. I get lots of lovely photo updates. Ecrin is very proactive and always communicates clearly. I would recommend. Thank you ⭐️”
About: Hi :) I’ve always loved dogs. I grew up with a mini poodle and now have a very sweet cockapoo named Cooper. I’ve also regularly looked after friends’ dogs, so I’m very used to caring for different breeds and personalities. Because I work from home, your dog will have company and attention throughout the day. I only take care of one dog at a time alongside my own, so they get plenty of focus and care. Alongside daily countryside walks, I make sure dogs are mentally stimulated with games, treat searches, and plenty of indoor play and affection. I know how hard it can be to leave your beloved pet, so I always send regular photo updates to help you feel relaxed and reassured while you’re away. I follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, and bedtime habits. I treat every dog as if they were my own and I genuinely love being around dogs more than I do people. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I work from home, so I’m present and available throughout the day. My own dog is already part of my daily life, so walks, feeding, play, and attention are naturally built into my schedule. Overall, pet care is a very natural part of my routine, and I make sure each dog feels calm, comfortable, and included in the day to day rhythm of the home. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and settled from the moment they arrive. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, and any specific instructions from their owner. While they may be left alone briefly at times, it is never for long periods, and I always ensure they are comfortable and settled before leaving them.
“Natalie was superb. I have never left my dog with anyone before and Natalie was brilliant and Meg loved it!! Great communication, went out of her way to pick Meg up. I would highly recommend Natalie to any potential customers. Thank you Natalie”
About: Hello! I’m originally from South Korea. In case you’re not very familiar with my country, I’d love to share a little about it. South Korea is a place where people truly love their pets. We have pet kindergartens, pet-friendly restaurants, and even cafés that host birthday parties for pets. Because Korea currently has one of the lowest birth rates in the world, pets are often treated like family members. If you visit Korea, you might even see strollers with little dogs inside instead of babies! As for me, my partner and I have a cat called JOJO. Her name comes from a character in a Japanese anime that I love. I hoped she would grow up brave like that character, but it turns out she is actually a very adorable — and very shy — cat. Over the past two years of raising JOJO, we’ve always been responsible for her, making sure she gets her regular vaccines, deworming, and check-ups. So far, she hasn’t had any serious illnesses. She was spayed at eight months old, has excellent behavior, is very confident at home, and doesn’t damage any furniture. When I first started living with JOJO, I realized that having a pet is not always easy. She used to wake me up at four in the morning, sometimes knocking over her water bowl to make noise. Once she even knocked a fish tank onto the floor, which made me worry that she might get hurt. That experience made me start learning more about animal behavior and pet psychology. Over time I learned that every pet has a unique personality. JOJO isn’t very motivated by food, but she loves playing. So now I spend about an hour every day playing with her, and she no longer wakes me up early in the morning. Instead, she quietly waits beside me until I wake up and then happily runs around the house. I’ve been living with JOJO for almost two years now. She has taught me patience and how important it is to respect every animal’s personality. I will take the time to understand your pet’s personality and care for them with the same love and patience I give to JOJO. To me, animals are not just pets — they are companions we grow and share our lives with. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel relaxed while you’re away. If you have a dog, please don’t worry! I’ve been walking friends’ dogs in Korea since middle school. I’ve walked small and medium breeds like Maltese and Teddy dogs, and I know how to make sure they have water and pick up after them. So you can rest assured I can handle that. For large dogs, I might not be able to walk them, but I’m happy to come to your home and spend the day playing with your dog. If you don’t mind a little “disturbance,” I can even send you a hundred photos in one day to keep you relaxed—haha! I’m currently on a legal visa and in the process of job hunting here in the UK. Because I haven't started a full-time role yet, I have a lot of flexibility and would love to hang out with your pets on a daily basis. I’m more than happy to tailor my care to your exact needs. If I’m looking after them at your place, I’d be completely comfortable with you having pet cameras—it’s a great way for you to stay connected and see how we’re getting along! If you don’t have one, no worries at all; I’ll send you plenty of photo and video updates throughout the day. "If you’d prefer to drop them off at my home, I’ll make sure JOJO (my cat) stays settled in our bedroom. This ensures JOJO feels safe while giving your pet plenty of space to roam and relax. I’ll be sure to keep you posted with lots of updates so you can see how much fun they're having!

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Bath
Prices are estimates per walk for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“I'm really happy with Ayla, she is obviously a dog lover and Poppy can't wait for her morning walk - I think she decides where they are going. I would recommend Ayla to anyone.”
“Tim has been taking Kaos on weekly walk for more than 2 months. He's always on time, courteous and professional. He's flexible when I needed to adjust the schedule for emergency and extremely generous with his time and energy. Kaos loves him and always retuns happy and excited by the experience.”
“Gizem did a wonderful job walking Kaos daily for a week! She was professional and on time always. Kaos loved her and trusted her instantly. I will definitely lean on her whenever I need help in the future!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs through Rover for over three years, and during that time, I’ve had the joy of looking after some wonderful regulars, including Dude, Wally, Mabel, Herbie, and Pepper. They have kept me busy week after week, which is why I haven’t been taking on many new dogs recently, but I’m excited to welcome new furry friends again. I live with my partner in the heart of Bath on Great Pulteney Street, just minutes from beautiful parks, which is perfect for walks since we live in a flat with no garden. Most of the dogs I care for are dachshunds, so I know their big personalities, routines, and love of blankets and treats. We also happily welcome other small breeds, as bigger dogs just wouldn’t be fair in our flat. Caring for dogs has become such a big part of my life, and one day we hope to bring our own sausage dog home. I work full-time (9–5:30), but my day is already built around dog care. On weekdays, walks and potty breaks usually look like: - Morning walk before work (around 8am) - Lunch break walk - Afternoon walk when my partner gets home - Evening potty breaks around 8pm and 11pm (depending on needs and feeding schedules) Occasionally (usually Thursdays), I travel to London for work. If an owner is comfortable, I’m happy to bring their dog with me, as my office is dog-friendly. If not, my work is flexible and I’m able to skip the London visit that week, so routines at home stay the same. I focus on calm, safe, and consistent care, always following feeding schedules, walk routines, and any house rules you have in place. I’m comfortable administering medication if needed and keep owners updated with regular messages and photos. FOR DACHSHUND OWENERS: I’ve had the pleasure of caring for 4 dachshunds through Rover, so I know how important it is to protect their backs. We’re very mindful of IVDD, making sure to carry them up and down stairs, as well as equipped our sofa with dog steps. Every walk, play session, and cuddle is handled with care to keep them comfortable, happy, and safe while they’re with us.
About: I’ve been around dogs all my life and I have run my dog care business for nearly 3 years. I’m very passionate about what i do and care very deeply about the dogs I look after. I’ve got experience with highly energetic dogs and older slower ones and I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes as I have two of my own who are very big, My older boy is disabled so I have lots of experience with special needs dogs. I also have experience with nervous and reactive dogs and take the time for them to get used me before I look after them I have endless patience when it comes to dogs and I happy to go for hour hike through the woods or an hour just potting around my local grave yard (which many of my clients love!) I run my own dog walking business so fitting you in with my routine won’t be a problem. I’m also free for dog walks and dog sitting throughout the week. Dogs will stay on the lead near road and livestock no matter their recall. I’ll always make sure your dogs are safe and well care for while they are under my care
About: I am from France and have owned and cared for dogs since I was 10 years old. I currently have two dogs who live with my parents in France while I am in the UK and I remain very involved in their care. I enjoy spending time with dogs and have also looked after friends’ dogs on several occasions. I treat other people’s dogs as my own and always make sure they feel safe, happy and well cared for. I really miss being around dogs regularly, which is why I want to offer dog sitting. I am mostly available during weekdays as I am not currently working, especially late mornings, afternoons and evenings whenever possible. I can also be flexible on weekends. I live in a quiet top-floor flat with no other dogs in the building, which provides a calm environment for pets. I also live very close to a nice park, which is ideal for regular walks and exercise. When caring for dogs, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime and lots of attention and affection. I am attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether they prefer active play or a calmer environment and I always prioritise their safety and comfort. If I am caring for pets in an owner’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to maintain the dog’s normal routine and help them feel secure while their owner is away.
About: I am a final year at the university of Bath studying biomedical science. I will be doing my masters at Bath university from September 2026, with the intention of beginning medicine in September 2027. I am a hockey player and long distance runner so I love staying active a LOT! I am very easy to talk to and friendly! I am diagnosed with autism and ADHD. I would like owners to be aware of this but not because it affects my role as a pet sitter but it’s good to be open and honest. If anything, it makes me more cautious, loving and caring! Being around animals is one of the most beautiful things in life and I love that I get to hang out with them! I have grown up around many pets, from chickens all the way to horses! I have had 4 cats in my lifetime, three rabbits, multiple hamsters and one precious dog. I truly believe I am very patient, caring and loving! I have experience with different temperaments and will handle any situations with the upmost respect and consideration of both the pet and owner. I enjoy keeping in touch with the owners throughout the day to let them know their pet is well cared for, as I can understand deeply about the love we feel as owners and wanting to know they are ok. I want anyone who is trusting me with their pet to trust me wholeheartedly and I try my best to ensure that. I’ve been very lucky to look after so many beautiful dogs, cats and rabbits. It is the most rewarding feeling. I can’t wait for many more bookings! I am a university student currently home for the summer and would love to take up a small flexible job to earn some money for my rent! I am available any time except from the 7th June-23rd June. I will offer dog walking services, and am available any time of the day. There is a field by mine that I can utilise or if the dog is more of a slow walker, I am happy to just walk them around the neighbourhood, whatever suits their needs!
“From the start Natalia was exceptional at engaging in fun physical activities with my anxious collie and providing calm authority for her. She provided 4 x one/ two hour walks per week for 4 weeks while I recovered from major surgery - always reliable and taking the initiative to reschedule during the heatwave. Highly recommended!”
“Madison was extremely conscientious and clearly cared about my dogs (and even my cat) when she provided dog walking services while I was away. Always timely and detailed in report cards, and with great photos to go with the write up, she was very responsive to any messages and gave me perfect peace of mind. I would definitely hire Madison again and would recommend her highly to a friend.”
About: I grew up with a dog called Dave (my dads choice of name not mine). I was responsible for taking him on walks and looking after him when my dad was away. My mum also recently adopted a dog called Arlo, who I helped look after during COVID. I also worked at a dog friendly pub, and everyone says I give the dogs better service than the people 🤣 I work shift work so my schedule changed every week - however weekdays or evenings are most likely my available times to walk and look after your dog. In my own home, both of my pets were very well behaved so never ran away. They were also not allowed upstairs or allowed on the sofa.
About: I've been caring for cats and dogs for the past 7 years and genuinely love being part of a pet's life. Over the years, I've looked after friends' cats and regularly cared for my parents' dog, giving me experience with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the responsibility of caring for someone else's beloved companion very seriously. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I offer house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits throughout Bath and Bristol. You can expect reliable care, regular updates, and plenty of photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing the loving, attentive care they deserve! I work from home 3 days of the week so I can easily do house visits during the week - Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays! Whether this may be for playing, feeding or simply giving your little fur baby a little bit of company. I can also take your dog out for a walk during my lunch breaks and play tug of war (the real way to a dog’s heart)! I am also available weekends, I simply want to care for your pet in the best way possible :) As I live in a flat, I won’t be able to take care of your pets in my own home but I am more than happy to do house sits, check ins, and daily walks - whatever works best for you!
“Courtney has been brilliant with Poppy, who has loved her walks. I hope she will be able to help out again at some point - I will certainly ask. Thank you, Courtney, for doing an excellent job.”
About: Hello! I’m originally from South Korea. In case you’re not very familiar with my country, I’d love to share a little about it. South Korea is a place where people truly love their pets. We have pet kindergartens, pet-friendly restaurants, and even cafés that host birthday parties for pets. Because Korea currently has one of the lowest birth rates in the world, pets are often treated like family members. If you visit Korea, you might even see strollers with little dogs inside instead of babies! As for me, my partner and I have a cat called JOJO. Her name comes from a character in a Japanese anime that I love. I hoped she would grow up brave like that character, but it turns out she is actually a very adorable — and very shy — cat. Over the past two years of raising JOJO, we’ve always been responsible for her, making sure she gets her regular vaccines, deworming, and check-ups. So far, she hasn’t had any serious illnesses. She was spayed at eight months old, has excellent behavior, is very confident at home, and doesn’t damage any furniture. When I first started living with JOJO, I realized that having a pet is not always easy. She used to wake me up at four in the morning, sometimes knocking over her water bowl to make noise. Once she even knocked a fish tank onto the floor, which made me worry that she might get hurt. That experience made me start learning more about animal behavior and pet psychology. Over time I learned that every pet has a unique personality. JOJO isn’t very motivated by food, but she loves playing. So now I spend about an hour every day playing with her, and she no longer wakes me up early in the morning. Instead, she quietly waits beside me until I wake up and then happily runs around the house. I’ve been living with JOJO for almost two years now. She has taught me patience and how important it is to respect every animal’s personality. I will take the time to understand your pet’s personality and care for them with the same love and patience I give to JOJO. To me, animals are not just pets — they are companions we grow and share our lives with. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel relaxed while you’re away. If you have a dog, please don’t worry! I’ve been walking friends’ dogs in Korea since middle school. I’ve walked small and medium breeds like Maltese and Teddy dogs, and I know how to make sure they have water and pick up after them. So you can rest assured I can handle that. For large dogs, I might not be able to walk them, but I’m happy to come to your home and spend the day playing with your dog. If you don’t mind a little “disturbance,” I can even send you a hundred photos in one day to keep you relaxed—haha! I’m currently on a legal visa and in the process of job hunting here in the UK. Because I haven't started a full-time role yet, I have a lot of flexibility and would love to hang out with your pets on a daily basis. I’m more than happy to tailor my care to your exact needs. If I’m looking after them at your place, I’d be completely comfortable with you having pet cameras—it’s a great way for you to stay connected and see how we’re getting along! If you don’t have one, no worries at all; I’ll send you plenty of photo and video updates throughout the day. "If you’d prefer to drop them off at my home, I’ll make sure JOJO (my cat) stays settled in our bedroom. This ensures JOJO feels safe while giving your pet plenty of space to roam and relax. I’ll be sure to keep you posted with lots of updates so you can see how much fun they're having!
About: I have trained both of my dogs since pups teaching them core skills like sit, paw, spin and speak. I also taught them both lead manners and toilet training. I have previously sat for dogs requiring daily oral medication. I’m currently working part time as part of the 3rd year of my University degree. I work full days Monday, Wednesday and Friday & afternoons on Tuesday & Thursday. I am almost always able to work remotely apart from a couple of in-person meetings on a Tuesday & Wednesday. However, if your animal is able to be left up to 3 hours, I can work remotely & only leave them for the meetings I have. Drop me a message to find out my availability as I will always do my best to be available for your pets! I will ensure dogs do not leave the house without a lead and will assess my comfort level with the security of your garden before leaving any dogs off leash in there. Dogs will be kept away from any hazardous foods or beverages and will be supervised at all times when I am in the house.

“Joseph looked after my Labrador Dougie overnight & we met up for a meet & greet a couple of days beforehand. I noticed that Dougie took to Joseph straight away & was happy in his company. Joseph is really good at communicating quickly & sending updates. I would have no hesitation in rebooking.”
About: I will treat you dog just like my own. I have a 3 yr old very friendly male weimaraner and we are usually out on walks 2 or 3 times a day. The Bath Skyline Walk and National Trust land is directly behind our house so plenty of space to run around. I also have a fenced rear garden to use for toilet breaks. I work from home so always here to provide all the care and attention your puppers needs. Happy to arrange a meet and greet to ensure you are fully comfortable, just let me know. I work from home and usually out for walks a minimum 2 times a day with my own dog. Will walk in the morning (before 9am), lunchtime (around 1pm) and evening (after 5pm). I usually go for minimum 45mins walks each time. Happy to follow your instructions regarding walk time/duration and lead walking/off-lead walking. I have our own, very friendly, 3 year old Weimaraner to keep your dog company. During walk times we have a fenced garden for toilet breaks or general relaxation for you pupper.
“Jessica was great! very quick at communicating and kept us fully informed while Maia stayed with her, lots of pics and asked us all the things we forgot to mention. It was the first time we’d left Maia with anyone apart from friends and family but Jessica made it all super easy. Thanks again :)”
“Manognya did a wonderful job of looking after Guimauve. He was really happy to see her and had a wonderful time walking and being fussed on the sofa. Manognya is a really great dog sitter and we can’t recommend her highly enough.”
About: Having grown up with dogs in my family and gone on to work in professional kennels, I have hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I recently left my full-time job and as a result have flexibility to provide walks, day care and overnight stays. My aim is to provide a genuine alternative to kennels or large daycare, with a fun, and loving environment where I can give individual attention. I enjoy being active and genuinely love getting out for long walks every day, so your dog will never be short of adventure, fresh air, and exercise. I also have experience working with dogs who have anxiety or behavioural difficulties. I have a flexible schedule and am available on both weekdays and weekends. I also have a car which is set up for transporting dogs safely, and I am happy to provide pick up or drop offs. I live in house with an enclosed back garden. This provides a great environment for dogs to play. Likewise, inside the house there are various dog beds and toys!
“Everything went to plan and lucy seemed very relaxed when i collected her the next day, so all good. Had a few photos of Lucy on her walks. Would ask Francesca to look after Lucy again. Thank you.”
“Natalie was a fantastic sitter. We hadn’t used one before and our dog was on medication so, we were a little nervous. Natalie is an excellent communicator. She very quickly established a great rapport with Opal who was very relaxed and enjoyed her holiday as much as we did ours!”
“Fiamma and her partner Ben, they are amazing. Dark loves them and we always feel that she is in great hands while we are on holiday. Even when our flight was delayed, they were super helpful and nice. Highly recommended, they will be always our first choice!”
About: Canadian/Aussie Pet Sitter Newish to England here to help with loving your doggo's in your absence! My Story: I was the owner of a beautiful Cavoodle, Miley, for 15 years, she soul shatteringly passed away in Oct 2023 and to heal I started to dog sit in my neighborhood, a daily fur fix and being able to give love to a furry friend was incredibly healing. In December I took some time to heal further and booked a trip to visit friends in Bath, I loved it so much and when I returned to my empty home, I decided I wanted to make the move over. The universe must of been listening because my employer of 8 years made my position redundant, and I took that as the final sign that my time was up in Australia, and it was time to start a new life for myself in England. My Experience: I specialize in anxious doggo's that need full time company, and extra love and cuddles, I care for every pup as if they are my own and all of my clients I started beautiful relationships with and became one of their "hooman's", so much so that before I left Aus I had a farewell puppy party at the pub where I could say goodbye to all the beautiful furry souls that Miley sent to heal me! So now I'm on the hunt for my next furry friends! I have experience with all doggos big and small ranging from 3kg - 65KG (Yup one of my fav clients was a 6-month-old Tibetan sweetheart) Available most days and weekends. I work as local store manager in menswear and have sunday mondays off, my partner Andrew who is also a dog lover and has grown up his whole life with a dog works from home 4 days during the week so we are a 2 for 1 doggy sitter duo to help with availability. We are completely open to keeping to the dog's pace, from long walks and fetch for high energy border collies and working breeds, to cuddles and naps for an elderly poodle.
“I cannot thank Lily enough for not only taking amazing care of Harlow but also doing it on such short notice! I was kept updated throughout Harlows stay and she seemed so happy to be with Lily and her amazing family :) I should be recommending Lily to anyone that will listen but then I’m afraid she will be too busy to be Harlows step mum haha Lily your amazing thank you so much for everything you did I cannot express how appreciative I am for everything you did for my pup”
“Chris was so welcoming and reassuring, sending some great photos to show our dog was enjoying his holiday as much as we were. It meant we all had a wonderful time and would have the confidence to do it again. I think Jack will really miss his new friend Lottie!”
“Another amazing stay for Nelly! She always comes home tired after a few days with Melissa, who definitely makes her feel like one of the family! Would always recommend. Thanks again!”
“First time that we leave Ralph overnight with Shniele and she made us feel very confortable and gave us updates through his stay, Ralph seen to had a great time, will use her services again!”
“Jeremy looked after elderly Skye for two weeks whilst we were away and the stay went very well. I think Skye was probably a little difficult due to some age related issues, but Jeremy did a brilliant job making her comfy and keeping her calm and happy (when she was probably quite stressed as she is not used to being away from home). We received plenty updates. I'd have no hesitation to book Jeremy again. Thank you Jeremy!”

“Such a lovely, friendly couple who really looked after our big ball of energy. Provided lots of updates and gorgeous photos and we felt really happy all the time Wispa was away. Would definitely use again and highly recommend.”
“Selin looked after our dog Luna for an extended stay and was caring, responsible and communicative throughout. We received regular updates, photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Selin handled the homesick issues with patience, kindness and genuine concern for Luna's wellbeing. She kept us informed, adjusted Luna's routine where appropriate, and clearly cared about making her feel comfortable and happy. It was obvious from the updates that Luna grew very fond of Selin and felt safe in her care. We really appreciated her dedication and would be happy to trust Luna with her again in the future. Thank you, Selin, for taking such good care of our little girl”
