11. Katherine L.
“Kath walked our dog Jim for the first time yesterday and was great! She met us beforehand which really helped us to feel more comfortable. Kath kept us fully updated with pick ups and drops off and lots of photos and videos. She was fully flexible to all of our requests and wanted Jim to have the same experience with her and he would with us. As a young spaniel Jim loves to be off lead and it was great to see that Kath had the confidence to let him off lead straight away.”

About: I am able to care for all types of dogs as I’ve had experience with bigger dogs, small dogs and puppies, I pet sit a lot for family and friends and I have never had any complaints. I have trained multiple puppies in the past as well as handled senior care for older dogs so they still have a good quality of life, I also understand the importance of dietary needs and feeding plans as my current dog has one of her own so I am able to administer any needs. I currently work part time so I’m happy to spend my free time helping you with all of your pets needs. Even if it’s a quick walk or a play date to keep your dog company. I have a fenced back garden so the dogs will be safe while being able to enjoy the freedom of being outside. I have crates available if you would prefer your dog to be crate trained at any point.

I’ve come back to Korina many times as she now walks Harry frequently, she absolutely loves animals so she is very carful and caring when she is around them. Harry loves her too, couldn’t recommend her enough Callum W”
17. Leah P.
“I've had the pleasure of walking my dog Charlie alongside his good friend Poppet many times. Leah is one of my best friends and will be an absolute gem of a Rover sitter. She genuinely loves every animal she comes across whether it’s a dog, cat, horse or even a random pigeon in the street and loves other peoples pets as if they were her own, she’s so kindhearted but quiet but makes for a great friend for your pet. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any pet parent in need of someone who will love their fur baby (nearly) as much as you do.”
