What can i say about Zoe.. other than she is amazing. I carnt thank her enough for looking after my cat Marnie and also my home. She made my holiday even better knowing that my pet was in safe secure care. I would highly recommend this lovely lady to anyone. I will certainly be booking Zoe everytime we have a break away. My cat was well cared for. And to be honest 2 weeks is a long time to be away from your pet. But Zoe made Marnie happy and content. Thankyou so much from the bottom of our hearts. Marie and Marnie xx

About: As a huge dog lover, I have extensive experience working with all breeds and temperaments — from small companion dogs to larger, more challenging breeds such as Cane Corsos and XL Bullies. My background includes working with the police as a dog handler, carer, and trainer, giving me hands-on experience in canine behaviour, training, and handling. I am also qualified and experienced in assistance dog handling and canine behaviour, and I currently work as a night veterinary assistant. This means your pets will always be cared for by someone knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animal welfare. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, raising puppies and adopting rescue dogs throughout childhood and into adulthood. I currently have two rescue dogs of my own: Milo is my adopted Romanian mixed breed. He is well trained, gentle, and very affectionate. He gets along well with most dogs, although he can feel a little anxious around very large or overly excitable dogs. Milo can also be nervous in unfamiliar environments at first, but once he feels settled and comfortable, his soft and loving personality shines through. He is especially gentle and friendly with children once familiar with his surroundings. Moby is my 3-year-old Collie mix, also rescued from Romania. He is a sweet, easy-going boy who can be timid when meeting new people due to his difficult past, but he absolutely loves other dogs and enjoys playing. He can spook easily at times, but he is very well behaved, fully house trained, and equally happy having a play or simply relaxing and chilling out. I am very much a dog person and feel completely comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always aim to provide a calm, loving, and safe environment. You can be confident that your dog will be happy, relaxed, and comfortable during their stay — a true home away from home. Use my code “LEWISC58962” or link to get £15 off your first booking with me on Rover: https://www.rover.com/sit/lewisc58962 I am able to look after my dogs Milo 10yrs and Moby 3yrs alongside with my partner. He is a routine man and will wake up minutes before my alarm for a morning walk and food, he then usually has a afternoon walk followed by an evening walk before bedtime. I previously worked from home that allowed me to care for pets while your away and treat them with as much love as I do with Milo and Moby and their maintaining with routines. Your dog will be more than happy and comfortable here with milo and Moby, me and my partner pampered like one of our own along side regular updates. I have unclosed back garden, where they are free to wonder out and in along with Milo to keep company and plenty toys keeping keep them entertained while they stay, home away for home. Caring for your pet will be around your daily life and care for them, if they are crate trained or sleep in their own bed or in ours we will stick to what you/they know best to keep everything as natural and comfortable during their stay.

About: Wether playful or lazy, your pet is welcome to tag along with me on my daily exercise. Me and my family have been dog sitting for years and I wanted to join in professionally. I have a clutter free home that is a safe and calm environment for your furry little friend. As I’ve grown up, I’ve rarely ever not had a pet in my house. I’ve grown a love for pets and now feel I can easily grow a bond with almost any animal. This job grants me that opportunity and I can’t wait to meet you and your pets and take great care of them! I absolutely love animals and photographing them in my free time so we can keep regular updates to ensure they are at ease.

About: I believe what sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong passion and ultimate goal in life and dedication to all of Earths creatures. I am a student studying Animal Management at college with the ambition to progress to University to study zoology. Who better to trust with your animals than someone whose life goal is to care and protect the welfare of all living things? I am currently a volunteer at local animal shelter and charity ‘Pawz for thought’ where I assist in taking care of multiple cats and kittens who are in need of our help. I am available from Saturday to Mondays with occasional availability on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons. This is due to my College Schedule and volunteering schedule which are all vitally important for my future. My current pets, my heart and souls in my life, my two cats Caillou and Nova, are house cats and remain indoors unless equipped with a harness and strict watch. I am an advocate for spaying and neutering and putting in precautions for all aspects of animal health and welfare. Ensuring an animal is happy, safe and comfortable are all priorities I take pride in harbouring. I am well versed in the 5 essential welfare needs for animals under The Animal Act 2006 and I take this legislation into my animals care very seriously, ensuring an animal under my care is given the best care possible.

Heather is so patient with my Romanian Rescues. They both have very different needs. Heather has listened to what both I and the dogs have needed. Heather is a lovely soul, who really cares about animals. (apologies my earlier review ony partially saved)

About: My name is Chantelle and I live in Washington in the North East. I spend most of my time exploring the mountains in my camper van but when I’m home I love to spend my spare time walking dogs. You will never find someone who adores dogs as much as I do! I have a car so I am able to drive to collect your furry friend and then take them to a fun location for a walk (parks, forests, beaches - wherever the road takes us). I have experience in dog sitting puppies as well as older dogs. I am full of energy so I never get bored of playing fetch or running around/playing with toys. I am also a very loving and cuddly person so I am more than happy to cuddle up and relax if I am looking after an older dog. I treat every dog as though it is my own. I am pet first aid trained - certified by the International Open Academy Pet First Aid & CPR. I have a lot of experience caring for short nose breeds (mainly frenchies & pugs). I am often travelling in my campervan, so I update my profile each week showing my up to date availability. I cannot commit to regular days of dog sitting but people usually keep me in mind as a back up or for occasional walks. Feel free to send me a message if there’s a specific date you have in mind and I’ll try my best to accommodate! I look forward to meeting your pooch. Thanks for reading, Chantelle I do a lot of adventuring in my campervan but I will update my availability whenever I am home. If I’m home I’m always thrilled to be out walking with a pooch. I usually take your dog somewhere fun to walk - somewhere with lots of open space away from other dogs. At home I have two fenced gardens and my house is smoke free with no children or other pets. I adore dogs so I will treat every dog as if it were my own.

About: I have taken care of my friend's dogs for over 4 years now, dogsitting, walks and vet appointments, and I feel confident to look after your pets whenever you need. I am a university student with only two days at uni with most of my time being spent at home studying on my own at home which makes my schedule very flexible. My flat has restricted windows, and there is a garden/parking which is walled in the back of my apartment block where I can take your pets for fun time on the grass.
