“Kashia came to visit us before walking my dogs to see them and I thought this was lovely and very kind and thoughtful. Me and my husband were out of the country and knowing she was very thorough made us feel at ease. Every walk we had pictures to look at and a description of how they were and we felt like we knew what they had been up to. Thank you”


“Excellent communication and good at accommodating my last minute requests. She's always done exactly what I've asked. It's good to have someone I know I can trust to walk my dog when I'm not available. Will be continuing to use her.”


About: Hi I’m Lauren and would love to take care of your furry friends! Dogs have always been a big part of our family so caring for yours will fill that void whilst I’m away from home. Having owned a Chow Chow, a Sheepdog and a Cavapoo, I am accustomed to caring for all sizes and temperaments. I am a genuine and enthusiastic animal lover so would be more than happy to accommodate yours and your dog’s needs. I am highly flexible to work whenever you need and I’ll also happily provide ‘pupdates’ so that you’ll have peace of mind that your dog is being well cared for and loved. My property does not allow pets so I can only cater for house sitting, drop ins and walks. I have a highly flexible schedule so will be able to look after your pets whenever you need. I am happy to work weekends and late evenings. I would care for your pets lovingly yet professionally, giving them lots of attention and regular walks! Whatever your pet needs, I am more than happy to accommodate them!

“Leanne is great! Very friendly and easy to communicate with about all things Wally. Sends lots of photos each walk and utilises all the functions of the Rover app to give us clear updates about the walks. Seems flexible with her service in case we need to switch days or add/remove days. Top recommendation from us!”

About: I grew up around dogs of all shapes and sizes, before getting a family dog of our own when I was 12 years old. I’ve been a trusted dog sitter for family and friends for many years and love nothing more than caring for dogs. I’m knowledgeable and experienced, but, more importantly, I am exceptionally loving and caring to all dogs. I currently work part time, and work from home with a flexible schedule the rest of the time. I am used to fitting in four walks a day for dogs, so can easily make the time to walk your dog on whatever schedule they need. Morning, noon or night - I can be there! I have a fenced back garden with space to run around, and live next to a park and fields so your dog can get all the exercise they need! I have no dogs of my own so can give all my attention to your dog(s), and make sure they are well looked after. The house is secure with plenty of space for beds and/or crates - whichever the preference! If you prefer me to look after your dog in your home, then I will easily slot into their usual routine.

I have taken care of my friends and families dogs when they go on holiday or if they are out for the day and need me to walk or feed their dogs I currently work part time and the time I’m not at work I spend at home or out and about with my 2 Labradors so your dog would just fit in with our daily adventures and routine I have a secure high fenced back garden which is accessed via French doors so your dog can come in and out as they wish. We have lovely off road walks around our area so plenty of adventuring for us to do. My dogs have the full run of my downstairs and are never left alone for longer than a couple of hours should I need to nip out.

“Liam has walked our dog a couple of times now and takes good care of him. He sends photos of him on walks and Hamish always looks really happy to see him. He even thought to bring a towel with him when it was raining!”


About: I have had dogs for around 13 years, I currently have one dog of my own. I have recently house and dog sat for some friends of my parents, where I stayed in their house and looked after their dog for just over a week while they were away on holiday. Also, I have previously looked after friends parents dogs while they were on holiday, and their dogs stayed at my house with me for a week. I am an animal lover and have always wanted to work with animals. I work from home so I can accommodate your dog anytime. I have regular breaks to be able to take your dogs out if needed so they can exercise, or have a playtime. I am there all day so they can be fed and let out into the garden anytime they need. I have an enclosed back garden, with a very large fence that is double locked, so your fur baby will be completely safe and cannot get out. I have a very friendly little dog of my own who can keep your dog company, he loves to meet new dogs and loves to play, he has a lovely temperament so would make a great companion for any dog.

About: I am a 3rd year veterinary student at the university of Liverpool, so have had experience with a variety of animals, and you can ensure your pets happiness and safety is top priority! I have two dogs at home and have been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember! Doing placements as part of my course has allowed me to develop lots of different skills and knowledge about different dogs and how to cater to specific needs. I am home from university for summer and have completed my placements so I have lots of free time to spend taking care of your animals! I am flexible to accommodate whatever your dogs needs may be, I am eager to do the best for your animal and I enjoy seeing them doing well.

About: I have had dogs in my family since I was young and have enjoyed looking after them including feeding, walking and just general attention and affection. I have previously used Rover and loved meeting new dogs, as I now live in Normanton as a young professional I don’t get to see my family pets as often as I’d like! I am a 5 min walk from a large park which is a lovely setting for dog walks and have a car if needs be! I have a walled garden. I am happy with any size of dog as long as they are friendly:) I work full time Monday to Friday in the day between 8-4. I have full availability on weekends and evenings with notice. Please message with any dates and I can see my availability I don’t have any pets living with me so all attention would be on your dog, we have a walled garden which is small but local parks in walking distance.

About: We are a dog loving family! I have always had dogs growing up. From a beautiful golden retriever to the sweetest little Staffy and now Co-parent a sassy dachshund with my brother. I have experience with all sized dogs and all ages. I have helped train my dogs with my family so I know what it takes to be strict when dogs are in training. I have been using rover for 2 years, previously with my old house mate and now that I have moved, I have set up my own account. Through rover we have looked after a variety of dogs for all different lengths of time so I am happy to help look after your dog as long as you need. I love walking so if you need a regular dog walker I am more than happy to help you with that. My house has a garden so you dog will have freedom to roam the house and have full access to the garden. The garden is fully enclosed so your dog will have all the freedom they need. I work from home so I am free to look after you dog all days of the week. This also gives me freedom to take your dogs on as many walks as they require and get to spend plenty of time paying them attention ☺️ My boyfriend works during the week but he is here on weekends so your dogs will get plenty of fussing while we are both home! My garden is fully fenced so they are safe to run around the garden. I am use to having dogs that are crate trained so I am happy to utilise that if that’s what your dog is used to. If your dog likes to sleep in the same room that is also fine we just don’t really like dogs on the bed (unless this is specifically needed for your dog) We have plenty of greenery and fields around us so your dogs will get plenty of walks.

About: Hello all, I have been dog walking and sitting for around 4 years I love it! I have an 22 month old son who loves playing with the dogs. I’m unable to have my own due to affording the up keep. However, I do plan on getting my own in the near future. I live in my own house in a small town, I will always try take good photos of dogs so you can see they’re having fun! Nothings too much for me, any special requirements then just let me know. No issues. My 22 month old will have to be present throughout all of these events. If your dog or cat isn’t good around around children let me know, also please me know if your dog bites or nips and if they have ever done so.
