About: Compassionate & Experienced Pet Sitter ​As a former dog and cat owner, I deeply understand the unique companionship and unconditional love that pets bring into our lives. It's that special bond I miss most, which is why I've joined Rover—to continue caring for animals and to share that mutual affection once again. ​I have extensive experience keeping pets safe and secure, and I'm dedicated to providing your furry family members with the same level of care and attention I gave my own. I can’t wait to meet your pets and build a trusting relationship with them. I am now also qualified in Animal Care and Pet First Aid & CPR Training at Level 3. I currently work part-time from home, so I will have plenty of time to walk and play with your fur babies. I am available weekdays, weekends evenings, and holiday cover at my home or if you prefer at yours. ​I am committed to providing your dog with a safe, loving, and stress-free stay. My home features a fully enclosed and secure garden, so your dog can play freely and safely between walks. ​I prioritise building trust with every pet, using a calm and patient approach. You will receive regular updates, including photos, to show you how happy your dog is in my care. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your best friend is in a safe and happy environment.

“Kayleigh was absolutely wonderful. She was kind, caring, and very cooperative throughout the whole process. Communication was excellent, and she made us feel completely at ease knowing our pet was in such good hands. We would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you, Kayleigh!”

About: I have a 14 year old cat Poppy who is diabetic so I have experience in administering medication via injection and orally. My daughter also has a labrador who I often take care of for her at weekends. I currently work from 9-5 Monday to Thursday and from home on a Friday so I am available evenings and most weekends, and will also be able to do drop ins some mornings. I am very attentive and happy to follow any instruction provided to me by the pet owners. I love to go walking so am very happy to provide as much walking as needed.

“Irina was very helpful and cooperative and took good care of our furry boys while we were away. She was responsive to messages and easy to communicate with, and everything was handled as arranged. We appreciate her support and thank her for looking after them.”

About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including having pets of my own and working in a kennels for a year. This gave me hands-on experience caring for a variety of dogs, understanding their different personalities, routines and needs. I’m confident with feeding, walking, cleaning, providing enrichment, and making sure animals feel safe, comfortable and cared for. I understand that every pet is an individual, and I always take the time to build trust and make them feel at ease. After losing my own pets, I’m looking forward to reconnecting with animals and providing the same love, attention and companionship to other people’s pets I work part-time and also work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to offer pet care around my working hours. I’m available for lunchtime visits and walks, as well as after-work appointments, making it easier to fit around your pet’s routine. I understand how important consistency and companionship are for pets, and I’ll always make sure they receive plenty of attention, care and affection while you’re away. I am available anytime during the weekends an my days off. I provide care in your pet’s own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I understand that keeping their normal routine is important, so I take the time to follow their usual feeding, walking and care schedule. During visits, I’ll provide companionship, playtime, feeding, fresh water, toilet breaks, and plenty of attention. For cats, I’ll respect their individual personalities and give them space if they need it while making sure they feel safe and cared for. I’ll always treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would give my own.

About: I have owned a variety of breeds of dogs from small border terriers to labradors. I have always been on hand to help out family and friends with dog/cat care and house sitting when needed! I am currently employed full-time with some flexibility to work remotely (Office Hours 8-4). I will always be happy to help where I cam when available! I have always had dogs in the home from an early age and love their company! I will always work with the owner to maintain the pets routine

“Tega was so great with Kat! Kept me updated on how she was doing and even made friends with our shy, scared girl. We’ve booked Tega in again for our next holiday.”

About: I am currently looking after a dog for a friend on a weekly basis, often going to the park, looking after him overnight, and sometimes day trips. I have raised my family dog since he was a puppy, so am fully aware of what that entails. When I go back home, I walk and take care of him. I live with my boyfriend who has had cats in the past, so I am used to having them in the house and how to take care of them. With this, I have lots of experience of walking, feeding, bathing, and keeping pets happy! I'm currently working from home full-time, so can look after pets at any time! My hours are also very flexible so I'm able to go for walks during my working day. I live in a flat, with a secure back garden that is fenced in. The front door to the flat block is always kept locked. I am happy to do whatever is needed to keep your pet safe and happy!

About: My prices may be a little higher than some on Rover, but I am the ONLY licensed dog boarder on this site in Peterborough. This means that I am regulated by the Council who have inspected my property and approved me as a professional boarder/daycare provider, governed by DEFRA regulations. Licence Number 119691 Issued by Peterborough City Council. Please use this link to receive £15 off your first booking with me…. https://www.rover.com/sit/lynnd34729 Please ensure any dog boarder or doggy daycare provider that you use, is licensed by the local Council. If they don’t display a license number, they haven’t got one !!! Any insurance that they may hold (including any that Rover give) will be invalidated….as any insurance will be, that you have. Don’t take the chance of something happening to your furbaby ! Ask to see the license…..to make sure. At Dixons dog sitters, we are BIG softies for all animals....but especially for dogs. I have owned and looked after dogs of my own now, for over 40 years and the profile photo shows our pup...7 year old Polly. I have now professionally looked after other peoples dogs for 4 years. I have full public liability insurance. I also hold a pet first aid certificate and a diploma in pet care. Our dog, Polly is such a fun little girl, who loves to play. Polly can sometimes be bossy with younger dogs, but once settled down they quickly form very close friendship bonds. She shares her toys, her home, her owners…and even her food with her new doggy friends. I am semi retired and work part time from home, so I am available 24/7 to pamper and care for your fur baby. Paul (my Husband) works nights, so is up and around from lunchtime every day, so there is ALWAYS someone at home. Your dog will never be left alone, and when it is too hot or too wet to go outside, there are always lots of toys to play with. They will DEFINITELY get spoiled when they holiday with Aunty Lynn and Uncle Paul ! We will care for small to medium sized dogs that fit the following criteria. However, we do occasionally take on bigger dogs (lurchers, labradors etc) Your dog needs to be socialised with other dogs. Not be aggressive in any way. Walk nicely on the lead. Be able to sleep alone or with other dogs. Please take a look at some of the reviews left by owners. Dixons dog sitters holds £2million public liability insurance and we will take care of your fur baby, as well as we take care of our own. I always insist on a meet and greet before your dog comes to stay. This will reassure you, that our house is a safe, secure, clean and loving environment. You get to meet our dog and any other dogs that are staying at the time. This makes the whole process so much easier to handle for everyone concerned. I know how stressful it can be, to leave your pets with anyone, other than family. We will never take dogs out in the heat of the day, or when it is raining heavily and won't let them off lead, unless told that they can be trusted to not run away. We have a large secure garden with shaded areas to play in, and enjoy indoor playtime and enrichment activities, when we are unable to go out for a walk, due to adverse weather conditions. We allow all dogs the full run of the house.....but have a barrier at the bottom of the stairs, and at the entrance to the kitchen, where they can be contained, if we open the front door. We are getting electric gates fitted soon. Every aspect is covered to keep them safe, secure and happy, whilst they are in my care. We always send lots of updates and photos to reassure owners. I am licensed to board 5 dogs at a time, so your dog needs to be well socialised and toilet trained. All dogs are walked once/twice a day....weather and ability dependant. All dogs are let out into our large secured garden to play, or go to the toilet every hour or so. In the Summer months, the back door is left open, so they can come and go as they please. Their last toilet break is usually around midnight. Your fur baby will become part of our family whilst you are away. There are no favourites in this household, and no forbidden areas. Everyone is treated the same. If Polly goes for a walk, so does your dog. If Polly gets a treat, so does your dog. You can enjoy your time away, knowing that your fur baby will not just be taken care of….they will be loved. Please read my testimonials. Lynn is semi retired and works from home and Paul works nights, so is up and about from lunchtime onwards. There is always at least one of us at home. We have a large private and secure garden where dogs can run and play. Enrichment activities are part of the day and walkies are twice daily. We have a barrier that is placed at the bottom of the stairs and a barrier to contain any dogs whilst we answer the front door.

About: I have had pets since I was a young child. Very happy for long walks, feeding, toileting and cleaning up after also very happy to have some fun playtime in the garden. I currently do not work and have two children who are at school and nursery so hoping to help your furry friends around my young family. When caring for someone’s pet, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being by closely following the owner's instructions and routines. I take the time to understand the pet’s specific needs, such as dietary requirements, exercise routines, medical needs, and behavioral preferences. I ensure they are always in a secure environment, whether indoors or outdoors, and I remain attentive to any changes in behavior or health that may require attention. I communicate regularly with the owner to provide updates and reassurance, and I am always open to feedback or additional requests. My goal is to create a seamless, stress-free experience for both the pet and their owner, offering peace of mind through responsible and compassionate care.

“Great service from Heather and my cat obviously loved her judging by the photos ! Would definitely use her again.”
