About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy spending time caring for pets of all kinds. I’m patient, dependable, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their owner is away. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, basic grooming via my daughters groom room, giving lots of attention, and keeping routines consistent. I understand how important pets are to their families, and I’ll care for them with kindness and responsibility. Pet care is already part of my daily routine since I care for 5 cats of my own. I’m used to feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, giving attention, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule and can provide regular check-ins, updates, and lots of love and patience for your cat while you’re away. I provide a calm, safe, and clean environment where pets can feel comfortable and stress-free. Along with caring for my 5 cats, I also care for my elderly dog who takes 2 medications daily, so I’m familiar with senior pet care, routines, and giving medications responsibly. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I take time to help them feel safe and comfortable at their own pace. I always make sure food, water, litter boxes, and living spaces stay clean and well maintained, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own.

About: I have a Level 2 Diploma in Animal Management and I’m currently completing work experience at a doggy day care, where I help supervise group play, assist with feeding, cleaning, and making sure dogs are safe and comfortable.

I’m currently doing work experience at a doggy day care, but I have flexible availability for dog walking. I’m available most weekends. I’m happy to discuss specific times to find something that works best for you and your dog’s routine. Your dog’s safety is always my top priority. Through my day care experience, I’ve learned how to read dog body language, manage different temperaments, and keep dogs safe during walks and interactions. I always use secure leads, avoid unsafe areas, and make sure dogs are comfortable and well cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own and keep owners updated for peace of mind.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was around 15 and plenty of experience with different breeds and ages including chihuahua puppies, senior staffies and rescue bulldogs. I can no longer have dogs full time myself so I would love to be able to care/love for others. I drive which means I am able to travel to your pets as and when needed. I currently work from home as a nail tech and a 4 year old who goes to school so I have plenty of time spare to spend with the animals I care for. I live in a duplex (a house in a low rise block) with 2 large balconies and a communal garden. I live right on the water where lots of people walk their dogs and a crate available if needed.
About: I have experience with dogs who are anxious and resource guard so I know how to handle them in the safest way for both of us. I’ve also had two puppies personally that I have looked after and contributed to training so am well versed in younger dogs too. I’m an artist who works from home with occasional work days out so I can fit looking after your pets around my schedule, therefore I am available all week :) I can adapt pet sitting to whatever suits your needs, whether that’s taking them for walks, playing with them or simply checking in and giving them company.

About: I have been dog sitting for 5 years now and love it. I have a big country park very close so my dogs get plenty of exercise and even a swim in the lake if it's hot enough. I'm available 24/7 but as I'm not driving at the moment it's hard to be available for more then 2 drop ins a day, but that's depends on distance to travel. My garden is well fenced off and save, dog friendly home. When my regular dogs come over they're so happy to see me and I can't wait to see them too, I think that shows how much fun we both have. I treat each dog as I would my own, Peace of mind is very important.

We have a fenced garden with easy access from our kitchen doors. We have a 1 year old samoyed who loves to play and go for walks. She will benefit a lot having lots of friends to play with.
About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember and absolutely love spending time with them. Growing up with a dog has taught me how different each one is, and I really enjoy getting to know their individual personalities. When I was younger, I even started a little dog walking business in my local area because I loved any excuse to spend more time with dogs! I have These days, I regularly look after friends' and family's dogs whenever they need a hand, whether that's for walks, overnight stays, or just keeping them company. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, so I'll always make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care. I'll treat your dog like they're one of my own, so you can relax knowing they're in safe hands.

I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’ll always adapt my care to suit their individual needs and make sure they feel happy and comfortable. I’m happy to offer pet sitting in my own home, but I especially enjoy caring for pets in their own environment where they feel most relaxed and secure. Keeping their familiar routine and surroundings helps them feel at ease while you’re away.

Dannie was absolutely fantastic with my senior German Shepard Blue! She took the time to get to know him and understand his needs. She kept me updated all throughout and sent many pictures which put me at ease. I will be using Dannie again and would definitely recommend her. Big thank you to Dannie from me and Blue!
Daria has been absolutely wonderful with my dog, Puffy. She’s so calm, patient, and genuinely kind, which made such a difference as Puffy felt comfortable with her straight away. It’s clear she really cares about the dogs she looks after and handles everything with such a gentle, reassuring approach. I always feel at ease knowing Puffy is in such safe and caring hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and lovely dog walker

Jess’ communication was great throughout which allowed us to be worry free. Jess also managed to handle my two big dogs by herself, which isn’t always an easy task. We will definitely be using Jess again and we are lucky to have found someone like her in the area.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-to-one walking services.
