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.

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.

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.

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.

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: 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.

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.
