“Danielle looked after our two Westies in our home. She was amazing. She looked after them so well, taking into consideration their quirks and personalities, dietary needs and walking requirements. She stayed in our home and kept us up to date the whole time we were away. I’m sure our dogs can’t wait to see her again.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, starting with Maggie, our springer spaniel. I now have two Dobermans, Kona and Pablo. We’ve had Kona since she was a puppy, and Pablo is a rescue with reactivity challenges, so I’m very experienced with dogs who need extra patience, structure, and understanding. I’ve also regularly cared for a family French bulldog, Gigi, and I’m comfortable with a wide range of breeds, personalities, and special requirements. Most dogs tend to warm up to me quickly, and I genuinely love spending time with them. I’m calm, attentive, and used to adapting my care to meet each dog’s unique needs—whether that means extra reassurance, clear boundaries, or lots of play and affection. I work full time but remotely three days a week. Generally super flexible with my time on those days and regularly available at weekends too as my partner works full time over the weekend. I can meet whatever needs you have to keep your dog safe. Whether that’s crating them post visit, using specific walking equipment or whatever it might be! I would be caring for your pet solo.
About: I’ve had pets of my own for over 40 years and truly treat every dog like family. I love spending time outdoors and enjoy long walks, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I recently lost my two senior dogs and would absolutely love the company of another furry companion! I am a teacher so due to my schedule, I am free evenings, weekends and school holidays to look after and entertain your beloved pets! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly home where dogs are treated with the best possible care. I’m attentive to routines, instructions, and any special needs to ensure peace of mind while you’re away. I have a medium sized fenced garden and a huge meadow right by my house, perfect for big walks and lots of exercise!
About: I’ve taken care of friends and family pets since I was young, looking after a range of animals from horses to hamsters! I have grown up with cats and dogs in the house and for the last 4 years have been the owner of 5 guinea pigs, one who was an RSPCA rescue. Along with our cockapoo Bart who we have had since an 8 week old puppy, who I trained and is now a very well behaved boy! I currently work within the NHS in an admin role 3 days a week. This is local to home and my days and hours are flexible so I can be on hand for pet sitting services/drop in care when required. I will follow your needs and requirements to ensure you and your pet are comfortable and at ease and kept to their usual routine. I am an honest and trustworthy person who has only your pets best interests at heart.
“Danielle is great & I wouldn't hesitate to book again or recommend. I'm very anxious leaving my dog with anyone, but Danielle followed all of my instructions and kept me regularly updated & reassured that my pooch was OK. Came back to a tired, calm, happy fur baby”

About: I've had dogs all my life, we had several large Rhodesian Ridgebacks throughout my childhood, we had two at the same time for a period of time. I was responsible for feeding, walking and letting out the dogs. Neighbours, family and friends have relied on me to look after their pets, dog and cat sitting for periods of time. I currently work full-time in a flexible role, I often don't work on a Monday. I'm able to take pets for boarding on weekends Friday night - Monday, daytime on Monday's and after 5pm Tuesday-Friday. I have a small fenced yard at the back. I don't have any pets in the home so I can look after any type of dog.
About: I have looked after animals for the majority of my life, I am caring and good at following instructions. I’ve been taking care of my rescue dog Maja for 4 years now, as well as looking after my two cats. I have experience with nervous dogs, however have also done work experience at a Dog daycare before. So enjoy matching a dogs energy :) I am currently a student studying Equine Science and am looking for summer and weekend work. I am usually free weekends and am looking for summer work as well. My dog at home is crated at night, so that she can have her own space. She is let out into a fenced backyard during the day and is taken on two short walks and a longer walk daily. My cats mainly do their business outside however do have access to a litter tray if needed. My cats are outdoor cats however are in at night.
“Excellent sitter for our two dogs. Nathan is polite, professional and a very good communicator Nathan has dog sat out two dogs this week Both my dogs are very happy with Nathan and we’re happy leaving Nathan with our dogs . We will definitely be asking Nathan to dog sit again soon👍”

About: Though I don’t own pets myself, I’ve gained hands-on experience through volunteer work with dogs at local shelters, walking and caring dogs from friends. I’m comfortable with feeding and playtime. While I’m still looking for a full time job, so right now I’ll have plenty of time to be with your pets between 9am to 4pm on everyday. In pet owners’ homes, I prioritize maintaining their pet’s routine for comfort and security, drawing from my volunteer experience walking and caring for shelter dogs. I would follow exact feeding schedules, portion sizes, and locations for food/water as provided, topping up fresh water multiple times daily. I would provide exercise like leashed walks, playtime, and potty breaks to match the pet’s needs, using positive reinforcement from my volunteer background. I would assist with medications precisely per instructions, monitor for any issues, and send daily photo/text updates on behavior, appetite, and activities.
“Saras was great to deal with and asked lots of good questions regarding our dog (Ally) and kept us fully informed throughout the day. This was the first time Ally had been left with anyone and very happy with how Saras both worked with Ally to make her comfortable and looked after her.”

About: I’ve grown up with every kind of dog since I was a little girl and grew up with two dogs, Jackson and Lexi. I have looked after dogs while my aunties were pregnant, looking after their children or other families meme hers were away on holiday. I am a national athlete and can take your dogs on a walk or run and will keep them entertained I am currently a postgraduate student who is living back at home. I am currently unemployed so my schedule is very laid back and can work from home if need too. I always allow time to walk, feed and care for my dogs. I give them frequent baths, give them love and care and cuddles every day
“William looked after our two cats (and home) while we were away for a long weekend. He gladly met us in person beforehand and came over to collect the keys the day before we were due to leave so we had one less thing to worry about on the day. Our one cat, Taco, has anxiety and despite being on medication for it, was very vocal the first night - William communicated with me to ensure he was doing everything he could to help calm him down, never once showing frustration. He quickly found ways to work with Taco and the rest of the stay went much smoother (for both of them!). Pickle is a sweet little idiot and required nothing but love and food, which she was given in abundance :) We came home to happy, healthy cats and a clean home - the bedsheets had even been put in the wash, which was greatly appreciated. All in all, I would happy to recommend William for any pet sitting and would gladly book him again for our own.”

“Very happy with Gareth. He seems to have managed our two big dogs well during a week’s dog and house sitting, he sent regular updates and photos. His communication was always prompt and he inspired confidence on the meet and greet before the booking. House was left near and tidy. Would use again without hesitation.”

About: I have absolutely loved dogs since I was a child, unfortunately my family dog, Sandy, has now passed and it would be amazing to be able to take care of your dog as I miss mine so much and would love to give yours the same love! I have over 20 years experience with dogs (my own and other family/friends pets), I have taken care of friends pets whilst they’re on holiday. Comfortable with any breed and any age! I am a postwoman for my job so I am definitely used to a lot of walking and being outdoors so no weather will bother me and will happily take your dogs on some very long walks! I can’t wait to meet your pets I currently work from 8am until 1pm so I am able to take your pet out in the morning and after work whilst also doing checks through the day as my job is flexible. I have a fenced garden with enough space to play, your pet is able to go around the whole house and I am able to continue the environment and rules that you like them to follow at home, just let me know anything I need to!
About: i’ve taken care of my dog archie my whole life i’ve got multiple other pets and i’m a dog groomer i love every opportunity i have with animals and would like to continue with my passion i work through the week as a dog groomer and i love going on big adventures walks in my free time so why not bring your dog to share that experience with i have a fenced panel garden, i live near a dog friendly park and can happily bathe your dog so they are not muddy, and make sure they are fed and watered.
About: Dogs have been a big part of my life since I was young. I grew up in a dog-loving family, took on walking duties as a teen, and later became the sole caregiver for my family's senior dog, so I'm comfortable providing the extra support they need. I’ve also cared for friends’ and family’s dogs of all sizes and personalities, from steady seniors to playful pups and anxious dogs who need a bit more understanding. --- I'm now pursuing my long-term dream of starting my own dog care business - Soft Dogs Club. The name reflects what I believe all dogs deserve: a life filled with comfort, kindness, fun, and thoughtful attention. I tailor my care to each dog’s needs and personality, whether they live for adventure or prefer the slow life. My aim is always the same: to make every pup feel safe, understood, and truly cared for. Let your dog join the Soft Dogs Club! --- Please note: All prices shown apply to Rover bookings only. Pet sitting prices are for dogs that can be left for at least 4 hours only. Other dogs can still be accommodated for a slightly higher cost - just ask! Dog care is at the centre of my routine now as I run Soft Dogs Club full-time. My days are planned around walks, visits and the individual needs of the dogs I’m caring for, which gives me the flexibility to offer consistent timings and reliable routines. I keep my schedule structured and calm so every dog gets focused attention and an enjoyable, enriching experience. When I’m caring for a dog in their own home, I focus on keeping things familiar and comfortable. I take the time to learn their routine and follow your instructions closely, whether that’s diet, medication, enrichment or how much space your dog prefers. --- Walks are tailored the same way. I mainly offer small group walks, matching dogs by personality and energy level so everyone feels comfortable and enjoys their time together. Solo walks are also available and tailored to your dog’s pace and preferences. I’m naturally cautious and safety-focused, always aware of our surroundings. For group walks, I ask that dogs are up-to-date on routine vaccinations so all pups can stay safe and well. --- Whatever the service, you’ll always receive clear communication and updates, so you know exactly how your pup is getting on throughout the day. I’m also fully insured, DBS-checked, and Canine First Aid Trained so you can feel confident that your pup is in responsible, caring hands. --- My aim is simple: for your dog to feel happy and secure, and for you to feel completely at ease.
About: For several years, I have regularly looked after and walked many of my friends’ dogs while their families are away on holiday, as well as helping with occasional daily walks. I have cared for a wide range of different breeds, and I find their company incredibly therapeutic and relaxing! Spending time with the dogs brings me a huge sense of joy and fulfilment, and it is something I really look forward to doing. I currently work full time in Sale and/or Altrincham with my days off generally being Thursdays and Sundays. I am happy to take care of your dog during these days and evenings on working days I live in a flat with one housemate who is also very comfortable around the company of dogs. Though I don’t have a garden I am located close to worthington park and sale water park
About: I've been caring for animals with my family for years, so I know firsthand how important it is to provide top-notch care. Whether your furry friend needs daily walks or occasional home sits, I'm here to help. I'm passionate about dogs and love spending time with them. I'll ensure your pup gets plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I am available weekdays and weekends to walk dogs or house sit! Drop me a request. Happy to set up a regular schedule of walks with your pet. When I’m pet sitting or walking dogs, I make sure their place is safe and they feel comfortable. I follow their routine as closely as I can and always have a plan for emergencies. I also communicate with their owners, respect their wishes. It’s important to me that the pets I care for have a great time and feel loved.

Abigail provided excellent care for our two labradors. She loved cuddling and playing with our attention seeking dogs. Great communication throughout her stay and 100% trustworthy. She has a clear passion and love of dogs and has experience with larger breeds. Would 100% recommend her services and we will use again.

This was the first time we left our chihuahuas to go on holiday. We rescued them 9 months previous and have been anxious about leaving them. But we had nothing to worry about as Danni was just fabulous. They loved their time with her. I was sent regular updates which really helped me manage my separation anxiety! Videos of waggy tails and happy girlies. Danni left our home spotless. She was the perfect dog sitter to trust to look after our precious babies. We will be booking her again for a few months time as we now feel comfortable to accept a wedding invite for overseas in a few months time.

Could not be happier with the care that Jess provided for Mabel whilst we were away. We received pictures and updates whilst we were away and the house was kept tidy throughout her stay. She had also put a wash on when we arrived back. Would not hesitate to book her house sitting services again, which we will hopefully do next April. Full recommended. 5 star award.

We have had Ben house sit out two dogs Hilda and Arthur this weekend Highly recommend Ben, He arranged to come round to meet us and the dogs before the booking Very good communication, both our dogs have been very happy with him We will definatly br asking Ben back to dog sitting again

Melissa and Steve, what is there to say other than please do not hesitate to book in with them. Oakley stayed with them for a week whilst we went away and he had the best time, he has been so well looked after and spoilt. Melissa and Steve will care for any pet in their care as though they are their own, are more than happy for messages checking in and sent plentiful updates and pictures the entire time. It feels so reassuring to have found two great sitters. Melissa and Steve thank you so much ❤️

Heather kept us updated with regular photos and communication through the whole time of our housesitting. She was superb with our very anxious Staffy Bailey. We will certainly hope to use Heather again in the future, and highly recommend her for looking after your fur babies.

Excellent sitter for our two dogs. Nathan is polite, professional and a very good communicator Nathan has dog sat out two dogs this week Both my dogs are very happy with Nathan and we’re happy leaving Nathan with our dogs . We will definitely be asking Nathan to dog sit again soon👍

Saras was great to deal with and asked lots of good questions regarding our dog (Ally) and kept us fully informed throughout the day. This was the first time Ally had been left with anyone and very happy with how Saras both worked with Ally to make her comfortable and looked after her.
