About: I have had dogs in my family from being a child. I lost my beautiful boxer nina in May and still have a lot of love and time to give to dogs until I feel ready to get another dog of my own. I have experience with rescue dogs and family pets, from puppies to senior dogs. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your four legged friend 🧡😊 I work full time through the week but have availability on weekends and Mondays are my rest days so I am happy to help during these times. I may be able to accommodate a later drop off for boarding on Friday's after work from 6pm on occasion. Please message me to discuss if this is required. I have a secure garden and live by a field and dog walking area. Your dog would spend time with me in my home. I keep a tidy home and would therefore treat any owners home with the same care and respect if house sitting. I will only take one dog in at a time unless from the same household for your peace of mind. I want your pet to feel completely at home here!
“Sima was fantastic and looked after my cats wonderfully. Communication up to and during my trip was brilliant, I even received daily pictures of the cats and an update of how they were doing. This was my first time using Rover and I would definitely use Sima again any time I need my cats looking after. Thank you so much :)”
About: We live in a clean, modern house next door to a large country park where we walk our Sprocker Willow twice a day. When we aren’t at the local park, we use AllTrails to explore walks across the region or you might catch us at our cricket club! James works in Education and holds an Enhanced DBS check for piece of mind. We want to use Rover as an opportunity to trial life with two dogs, during their stay your pooch will very much become part of our little pack. Making sure to send Paw-rents pictures and updates on our day! James has recently completed Pet First Aid Training. James is a Teacher and Samantha works from home in finance. Whilst looking after your doggo we will keep time alone to a absolute minimum but Willow will be around for company! Owners can see our walks on AllTrails if requested! We have a fenced back garden with a soil, decking and stones. We usually leave the door open during the day for Willow and friends to come and go as they please. We are quite happy for visiting pups to sleep wherever they like but will always follow the instructions of their parents! We’d like to think that you are getting a quality service where your dog is treated as ours and will be taken on quality nature walks whilst in our care.
About: 🐶I grew up around animals and feel like dogs are part of my DNA. My dad breeds border terriers and we had lakeland terriers, lurchers, whippets and dachshunds over the years! I love all types of dogs, as does my partner, who grew up with a cocker spaniel named Harvey. He recently passed away and left a big hole in our lives. We’re hoping to fill the void by meeting lots of little beauties and welcoming them into our home. 🌳 I have a beautiful garden and plenty of spare time. I feel like the space we have is such a waste with just the two of us. Our friends and families pets just love the space we have and I can’t wait to share it with others. 🦮 I love to walk and especially love having a four legged friend for company. There are so many lovely places your best friend and I could discover together. I’d be happy to WhatsApp or message you pictures whilst you’re away so you know all is well. Nothing makes me happier than making dogs happy!!! 💼 I work full time but flexibly with a couple of days a week from home so I can often be available, just reach out and ask! I’m available for boarding on weekends too Friday-Sunday and could make an extra day work for anybody wanting to extend their weekend to Monday… 🏡 We have a beautiful fenced back garden with plenty of room for your pups to play. We also have a large garage for shelter if they prefer their own space too. There are only two of us in the house and we regularly look after our families fur babies so we’d be quite happy for them to share the rest of our home with us too.
“I recently hired Charlotte to care for my two cats, Bonnie and Clyde, while I was away on a week-long trip. From the initial consultation to the final visit, Charlotte was professional, reliable, and showed a genuine love for animals. The cats clearly adored Charlotte, and I received regular updates and photos and videos, which put my mind at ease while I was away. The house was also spotless when I returned, which was a lovely bonus. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Charlotte to anyone seeking top-notch care for their beloved pets.”

About: I've been a. do owner since i was 8years. old. I've owned. couple of other pets including a rabbit and parrot but I'm definitely a dog person. Owned 4 other dogs after. my first. dog.

I am new here. so I don't really know anyone. I prefer dogs to human so I'm. opting to be around one more during my free time.
