About: Hi there! My name is Rachel, I’m a 29 year old working professional based in Taunton and I live with my partner in a fully detached house with a large secure enclosed garden, giving dogs plenty of safe space to play and explore. I’ve grown up around both cats and dogs all my life, and featured in my photo is our family dog Coco, a mini Pomeranian who I absolutely adore. I regularly dog sit for friends over weekends and love taking their dogs out for walks and adventures in the countryside. I enjoy being outdoors and discovering new walking spots, so your dog will get lots of exercise, attention and companionship. I work from home on Mondays, meaning I’m around throughout the day for walks, toilet breaks, feeding and company. Although we don’t currently have pets living with us, our home is very pet friendly and calm, making it a great environment for dogs to feel comfortable and relaxed. I’m available on weekends and love spending time outdoors on long walks and adventures with dogs. Most of my friends have dogs and I love going for Saturday morning coffee and dog walks with them. I also work from home on Mondays, so I’m around all day for walks, feeding, toilet breaks and plenty of company. Your dog will get lots of attention, playtime and care throughout their stay! Your dog will be cared for in a calm, loving home with a large secure enclosed garden where they can safely play and explore. I currently don’t have pets, so your dog will have plenty of space and attention. I always make sure dogs are well looked after, exercised, comfortable and treated like part of the family!

“Hilary looked after our 2 dogs at the end of August . We had good communication throughout (despite my poor phone signal) , and Hilary looked after them really well, we came home to 2 very happy dogs. She also applied some medication to one dog everyday, and also moderated their walks as it was very hot on a few days too. Highly recommend and would definitely book again if she was available . Thanks Hilary .”

About: Hi! I’m Holly, an early 30s cat obsessed Architect based in North Petherton. Having grown up in rural Cornwall surrounded by animals, I settled in Kent in 2011 before returning to the south west in 2024. Cats are one of nature’s greatest gifts, and their perception of both human emotions and their own surroundings are unrivalled. Whether large or small, from Tigers to Munchkins, all cats are fantastic beings that deserve the best care. I have a range of experience in looking after these majestic creatures, some with complex medical needs and others who simply tolerate the presence of us mere humans. I’m able to assess the mood of various cats and treat them accordingly, ensuring that their boundaries are respected and allowing them to both feel loved and continue their daily routine in their own home whilst you are away. Understanding the needs of different breeds also creates bespoke interactions and unrivalled care.

“Laura was thoughtful and attentive and after meeting her we had full confidence that our pups would be well looked after and loved. We were visiting in the area and needed a dog-free day which Laura provided - worry free! 100% recommend!”

David G.

“Paula was simply amazing! It was my first time leaving my dogs with a sitter so I was a bit nervous, but Paula eliminated all of my worries. She was reassuring, confident & experienced, my dogs absolutely loved her. One of my dogs is extremely nervous of strangers but Paula was so relaxed with her I was able to go on holiday knowing my pets were well cared for. I’d recommend Paula to anyone to look after their pets. She really does go above and beyond. Thanks again for everything Paula.”

About: Im reliable, im friendly, i love animals and people say im easy to trust and get along with. I would love to be able to earn a little extra money to put in my traveling savings and why not do it by doing something I love. I work a 9-6 however I'm always awake at 5am ready for the gym so I'm available in the am and after 6pm. If close I can come and visit on my lunch break. I have a family cockapoo called Lola she's amazing well behaved and loves are cuddles and walks. She's always been healthy and happy in my care

“We were a little worried about having a house sitter for our two pugs. We found Karen on Rover.com and she was trustworthy, bonded with our dogs very quickly and really looked after them very well. We received photos every day whilst away and Karen was the perfect house sitter. We could see that our dogs were very happy on our return. Thank you Karen”

About: I own a gorgeous mixed dog breed so have direct experience as well as my childhood home hosting various cats and dogs. I have dealt with heartbreak and pure pleasure. Currently in between jobs so could do with some extra money. Each week I can be flexible. Evenings are also a possibility as well as weekends. I have a modest sized house with sufficient fencing. I live alone. No children. I own a dog myself so I am very aware of what is too much .

About: We didn’t just adopt a dog—we welcomed a quiet, gentle soul into our home. Our rescue greyhound called teddy arrived with cautious eyes as if the world was still something to be figured out. Now teddy has his favourite sunny spot, his funny sleeping positions, and his little bursts of playful energy that catch us by surprise. Ted has gone from unsure and afraid of the world to completely at ease, and in doing so, hes changed our home too. It’s warmer, calmer, fuller. Watching Teddy learn to trust has been the most rewarding part. The first tail wag when we came home, the first time he leaned into us for affection, the moment he chose to rest his head on our lap—each small step felt like a milestone. It’s a reminder of how resilience and kindness can transform a dogs life so much . We have had teddy for 5 years now and he is a completely different dog displaying such confidence and joy in everything he does I am currently studying from home therefore your pet will be my top priority and i will have plenty of time to take care and play with them . I will always make sure your pet is in a comfortable and safe situation. I have an anxious dog myself and i know how to keep them calm on walks and avoid other dogs . I am experienced when it comes to identifying the signs of a dog feeling threatened or scared by other dogs making me the perfect protector for your pet.

About: I've taken care of all types of dogs from the age of 18, looking after my parents small dogs (Cavaliers) and large dogs (standard poodles) for months at a time when they would go on holiday. I have carried numerous dog / house sits for friends and family, ranging from small to big dogs, puppies and cats. In 2025 and early 2026, I travelled for 10 months around Europe, New Zealand and Australia and was hired for 5 x dog sits in Australia over the last 2 months of my stay. Two 10 day sits, and three 3-6 day sits. I have experience with handling and administering medication, with a recent sit, all three pets requiring AM and PM medication. I work remotely from my laptop full time, so can give around the clock attention to your beloved pets & take great care of your house. I am incredibly organized, neat and tidy. Early morning person who can adapt to any pet's routine. I am great at sending updates during a sit, so if you wish to only receive one update and one photo please let me know and I'll make sure not to send any more than this! If you have a particularly shy or harder dog to deal with then please do not hesitate to contact me as I am confident and love a challenge. Barking does not bother me as it is just them expressing how they are feeling.

“The quality of service and care that Grace and Rhodri provide is exemplary - I am so impressed and will definitely be booking again for future holidays. We have an elderly cat and a very anxious dog who between them have fairly complex needs meaning neither could be looked after away from their home. Grace and Rhodri have been superb in making sure Moy and Jess are as happy as can be. This meant that we could relax on our holiday too. The daily updates on how things were going with photos, videos and a commentary was fantastic and so reassuring. I can't thank Grace and Rhodri enough - they're pet angels! 👼”

“Julie is just fantastic. Super responsive and so caring for our dog Monty. She follows his schedule perfectly and sends loads of adorable updates of their time together putting us completely at ease. Our home is always immaculate when we return and I feel completely at peace knowing that I'm leaving our dog in such capable hands.”

About: Love being around dogs, big or small! Have two dachshunds of my own and I love how all dogs have different characters! Playing with them and interacting I’m currently out of work and looking to take a new path, meaning I have all the time in the world! I have my own dogs so I’m used to it! I give your pets my full attention, to whatever there needs require! I like to keep them entertained and burn off some of that energy they may have!

About: Hi, Im Ellen. Im in my early 30s and live in Stoke St Gregory with my partner, two dogs and 3 chickens and a cockerel. I spend my time working as a Nanny, Cleaner, Carer and Dog Sitter/Walker. I have looked after many dogs for friends, family and clients in the last 17 years and honestly prefer dogs to people. They are the BEST!! Insured DBS checked First Aid Trained Full UK - Clean Driving License Car owner I am very flexible and can move other bookings to different times if necessary. I’m usually available between 9am and 7pm, Monday to Friday with occasional weekends. I am a very tidy person. Who loves to clean and am very house proud. When in an owners home I follow the rules and schedule they have set. I cannot look after dogs in my own home due to having my own dog, my partners dog and chickens. Also a shared path through our garden sadly.

About: Hello 🤗 I recently moved to the UK from the US and, sadly, I haven't been able to bring my cat, Octavia, with me yet. I've had her for about seven years, so really miss having a cat around! I thought pet sitting would be a lovely way to get my "cat fix" as I genuinely enjoy meeting new cats and spending time playing with them (and providing plenty of cuddles). You can be sure your cat(s) would be in very caring and loving hands with me ☺️ I work as a water scientist, and when I'm not travelling for fieldwork, I work from home with a flexible schedule. This allows me to easily fit in cat care throughout the day, including regular feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I'm happy to provide consistent care that follows your cat's usual routine, and can adjust my schedule to accommodate any specific needs or timings. I will always follow your instructions closely to ensure continuity and comfort for your cat. I will provide regular feeding, fresh water, litter box maintenance, and lots of attention and reassurance. When in your home, I will keep the environment clean and secure, and will any specific routines or rules your cat is used to. If needed, I can also administer medication as directed and keep a log of feeding, toileting, and behaviour if requested.

“Matthew is a lovely young man. Would highly recommend. Came home to a clean and tidy house and a very happy dog. Will definitely be using him again to take care of Sid. Very happy 😊”

About: I know dogs well and can handle all and any, however as I have a small child now I only accept well behaved dogs, easy to walk and dogs that will get along with my dog. I’ll treat your dog as if he/she were my own - with lots of love and care and the occasional sneaky sprat. We have an acre of land your dog(s) can run around and play with my dog Jett and some fantastic walks nearby that we do at least twice a day. I am currently not working and am a stay at home mother to my dog and child, we spend most days pottering around the garden and enjoying the outdoors. We have a fenced off acre of land where dogs can run around freely at their own leisure. On a cold day we would go for a walk in the woods and then cozy up by the fire to warm up.
