“Lauren was excellent given that she’s only met my dogs for the first time without me there to introduce. She kept me informed with pictures of my dogs who, I could tell were very happy. Thank you Lauren!!”


“Jessica was fabulous with my rescue dog, took on board everything I said about him and took some cute photos on the walk. The fact my dog came back with a huge smile on his face, tucked in to dinner and promptly curled up for snoozes says everything 🥰 he can be nervy so the fact he came back so relaxed is a compliment in itself 😁”


“Big thanks to Jordan for stepping up at short notice for dog walking duties while I was out of action! Communication was quick and clear. We initiated a quick meet-up first to ensure dog & human were suitable! Magnus loved Jordan from the off! I felt very comfortable knowing Magnus was in her good hands. Jordan sent photos during the walks to keep me updated. Thanks again!”


“Josie was lovely & offered to come over to meet the dogs the evening before the scheduled walk. She took a lot of care & made sure they had a lovely time in her care, thank you Josie. I would happily book you again 😁”


“This was our first time using Rover for a dog walker. We were lucky enough to find Rebecca! The entire process from meet & greet to the day of walking couldn’t have gone better. Very professional, punctual & clearly perfect as our fur baby was very happy on our return. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our floof. Please don’t go too far so we can ask for your service in the future.”


“Liz took real time to get to know my dogs, came prepared with questions that were very thorough, and really engaged with me and my dogs. She took lots of photos that were both adorable and reassuring and was able to accommodate me adding another walk last minute, for which I'm very grateful. She acted professionally and I will be using her again the next time I need.”


About: I have grown up and spent my childhood with family pets. I have specific experience with larger breeds such as Rottweilers, retrievers, labradors and doodles. Experience includes puppy to senior/elderly dogs and cats, that require specific care for their needs. For example, spending quality time, providing and giving medication, regular drop ins, exercise, and play. I have previously spent a great deal of time being the family “dog sitter” which has opened this new passion for me, looking after furry friends. I currently have a lovely 3 year old labrador, 13 year old labradoodle and a ginger senior cat. All of which I love and spend a lot of time with. I am experienced in caring for friends pets and homes, cats, dogs and fish. Family dogs, old and young, big and small. I have had experience providing medication to larger breeds. I plan to undertake a few accredited courses, such as Pet First Aid, to grown my knowledge and skill set whilst providing the best care for your animals. I work flexibly from home which allows me to have autonomy of my diary. I am required to go to site a couple of times a month. If you are after weekend availability, please message me directly and I will try to accommodate you the best I can. Daily routine entails waking up to walk my dog, work 9-5 and relax in the evenings with a long walk across the fields. I come from a close family where we spend a lot of time with each other. I love the outdoors and like to spend my free time running, walking and being with nature. When i’m not enjoying nature, i spend a lot of time with my group of friends that i have known from school. We are very closely knit and these valuable friendships have moulded me into the person i am today. I currently still live with my parents, saving to move out somewhere in lovely Gloucestershire, due to this i am unable to offer Boarding, so apologies in advance for the inconvenience. I currently work in the Safety (EHS) profession, in the Telecom industry. Working in Safety ultimately means I understand the legal and moral standards required to keep safety managed and risks mitigated. Which can definitely be applied to looking after your beloved pets 😊 I will care for your animals the way I care my own. My personal sitting preference is to Meet & Greet as a nonnegotiable. This gives you a chance to meet me, and your pets a chance to get used to me prior to the sit. I also have private insurance.

Similarly I have had my fair share in house sitting as well as working with pets in other fields ,such as in photography.

“Lily was fantastic stepping in to help us last minute when we needed someone to walk our dog Lilo. Lily updated us with a note to share how Lilo got on, which was much appreciated. Lilo seemed very happy when we got home so much have loved her walk! Thanks 😊”


About: I've been surrounded by dogs my whole life. We got our first family dog when I was 15 and she became the best friend I needed at that time to get me out the house, play and lift me out of the teenage depression I was in at the time. Since then I have further cared for pooches for family and friends and in the past 5 years have completed house sits across the country for both dogs and cats as well as lived with a few more of them myself. Everywhere I go they keep appearing! People would describe me as gentle, sensitive and dedicated in my work. I am receptive to all of your pets needs and will take care of them wholeheartedly. When you hire me to look after your pet you can rest assured that they will be loved. I'm currently working part-time and flexibly so simply let me know your requirements and I'll get back to you ASAP. I charge a lot more for house sits due to consistent level of care and attention I provide. I ask the owner to provide clear instructions regarding any health and medical needs and anything out the usual. Unless indicated otherwise, I will always keep your dog on the lead, especially to begin with. If trust is developing well and recall is already in place then we can talk about offering more freedom on walks if that is what you would like.

“Naomi was incredible with our nervous little dachshund. She took the time to calm and get to know her and clearly has a good affinity with dogs. Naomi also had really clear good communication! She was brilliant, we’d book her again instantly.”
