“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Ilaria may be new to the Rover platform, but she’s clearly no stranger to caring for animals with love and attention! From the very beginning, she was communicative, thoughtful, and professional. She took the time to understand my cat’s needs and personality, and it really showed during the visit. I received great updates and sweet photos, and I could tell my cat felt totally comfortable and well cared for. I came home to a happy kitty and everything just as I left it. 🐾 Ilaria went above and beyond, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend giving her a chance—you won’t regret it!”

About: I have grown up with Labradors so am very used to dogs (of all personalities, including the highly strung ones!) I have had Labradors from puppies so am very used to rearing dogs from a young age. I regularly care for a Staffordshire bull terrier, a cocker spaniel and a couple of other Labradors to name just a few. I work from home almost full time so am very flexible and can be on hand to meet all needs :) I have a 2 year old black Labrador called Sasha who loves all dogs and thrives with a little play mate or someone to cuddle. I am usually on hand to respond to requests at late notice and I aim to respond to all enquiries within 30 minutes. I work from home almost full time so am very flexible to fit most doggies’ routines. I live on the edge of a walking trail and a large common so there are plenty of opportunities for daily walks / runs on or off the lead multiple times a day if necessary. My own dog has 2 x long walks a day and doggies that stay with us simply come along. I live in a large bungalow with a large garden, inside a gated community so there is lots of safe space but no stairs to manage, and doggies can have free roam.

“Karen always takes great care and attention of our cats and dog when looking after them. Highly recommend”

“Nathan communicated well and obviously likes cats! He was reliable and came in for the visits to look after our furries. He sent updates and asked us questions by text if needed. Due to our cats having medical conditions they have to be fed separately and Nathan did his best to follow all the instructions.”

About: I have had family dogs ever since I was a baby, grown up with Staffordshire bull terriers. Have since had Labrador/collies now currently have a 5 year old lurcher. Love taking long walks with my dog, he loves other dogs and happily accepts them into our house. Please get in touch if you need help with your dog wether it's just a one off or on a regular basis I'll be happy to help and can't wait to meet them. I don't work anymore so I am very flexible for dog walks, home visits and boarding. Let me know what you need and I will try and accommodate. I have a full enclosed back garden and a fur baby to keep your dog company and to play zoomies with around the garden. I am around almost all day to feed, walk, play and look after them. Also have a dog flap fitted so they have the freedom to come and go into the garden as and when needed

About: Dog first aid trained. Many years’ experiences with various breeds of dogs, and other small animals, including rescue and caring for my friends' furry family. Arrange a pre-meet to ensure your fur baby is happy with me and meet other families for compatibility on walks. Keep your dogs on leads unless requested to let them off and in a safe place. Not walk more than 3 dogs at a time, reducing the risk of conflict. Ensure safely managed in the car for pick up and countryside walks. Always clean up after dogs. Love all animals, domestic and wild. Love and adore my own little doggy tots as well as my rabbits, Bella and Billy who have the lion's share of the back garden and a rabbit mansion. Currently work part time, available weekdays, car owner, drive within 10 miles, visit lovely walk areas and drop in on fur family for your work hours/holidays. Currently a dog walker and drop in service. Dog first aid trained and DBS. Keep you updated with pictures. I avoid play with sticks as this can be dangerous for your dogs. Able to do welfare checks, check for ticks and administer basic medicines, contact vet if needed. After walks always wash/wipe off paws, dry down if needed.

About: Having grown up with all kinds of animals, I have a real love and desire to give them all the love and attention they deserve I work from home 3 days per week and my partner also regularly works from home so we’d both be around during the week to give care and attention I have a secure good sized back garden for pets to run around in. I have no other pets at this time so there is no concern about any squabbling!

“I cannot thank Eleanor enough for visiting our puppy whilst we were on holiday recently. She provided daily reports from the visits and also pictures. She took the time to walk our puppy and also did some training with her. I highly recommend Eleanor and will definitely use her again. Thank you!”

About: From working at a dog daycare and boarding facility to owning two dogs myself, i have the experience needed to care for your dog(s). I have met dogs in all shapes and sizes, with all different behaviours and needs. Both of my dogs are rescues, one of them needing medication for a vary of conditions throughout his life- so i can sympathise with owners on how difficult it is sometimes to find someone who can care for dogs who have greater needs. I promise to try my best to care for any dog that comes my way. I have worked with dogs with disabilities, slight reactivity, feeding specifications and many other aspects that make them who they are. Looking forward to getting started! Happy to chat, i can be flexible. I work part time, so i have one day off a week (normally a Thursday) and often have weekends off. Happy to come after work at 6pm onwards to help out! I will cater to the dog(s) needs by walking them ore letting them out, depending on instruction, giving them 1-1 interaction, stimulation and play, and clean up after any mess they may have made. I love a dog who likes a fuss so that would be a huge plus, but also happy to care for the dogs who are not fuss orientated!

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 10 years. However I have now found a love for rabbits. I have my own Silva and he is just perfect. For both animals I am happy to provide any service you may need. Whether that be dog walking, pet sitting or even the cleaning out of rabbit hutches and homes. I am fully insured. I currently work fill time. However I finish around 2pm on Friday’s and I don’t work weekends. I also get 1 Friday per month off which leaves me with a lot of time for you and your pets! Unfortunately I am unable to have dogs in my home due to my rabbit however I have the faculties to care for your rabbits. They would be separate from my own.

“Two sets of visits close together, thanks again, despite the cat being very illusive, I know she’s fed and watered, with treats, and thanks for tidying up too!”

Amy D.

“Excellent care taken of my two elderly cats. Came home to happy cats and a very clean and tidy cat area. Will definitely use Emmie again.”

About: Hey! My name was Ellie but I go by Elijah. I have had/cared for animals all my life since I was 3 years old. From dogs of all sizes to cats, birds, rabbits and hamsters. I have been trusted on to not only care for these animals but feed, walk, train, bathe and be a companion for all these animals and above all else love them. I have some experience within training dogs, I am persistent and quickly gain their trust. I really sense that animals know that I am a loving person and I quickly put them at ease. I am patient and confident with all breads, and I know that every dog is individual, and id genuinely treat all animals with the love and respect as if they were my own. I’m currently working part-time, and the hours are short, 3 days a week, 4 hours a day. so I will definitely have plenty of time to play and look after your furry friends. I will follow any set instructions, left by the owner, and assure any special requests are met exactly as instructed, following a set routine that insures a healthy and happy pet and I want the owner to know I will treat them as my own and give the owners peace of mind.
