“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: I have taken care of cats and elderly dogs who require medication but also have a deep passion for all animals no matter how big or small. I myself own a cat, rabbits, reptiles, invertebrates and marine and fresh water fish tanks so I completely understand the wonderful quirks of these animals and how hard it is to find someone you can trust with knowledge for your pets when you go away. I want to give people an extra option when they’re going on holiday and peace of mind their animals are safe with someone who understand bio active tanks, RO water, GI Stasis etc Please note - days and time will depend on my 2 office days at work. When working from home I am also available for dog walks on my lunch hour I work 5 days a week with a minimum of 2 days in office. My office hours are 8am-4pm so on those days I am available 6-7:30 and after work 4:30pm onwards I am happy to pop in at 6am or after work hours when in office. On my home days, I can do before 8am, lunch time and after 4:30pm However you want or need me to care for your animals is exactly how I will do it. I understand some pets have a rigid routine whereas some can just go with the flow. I personally prefer a day by day list of what you would like doing as this is what I provide for people caring for my animals.
About: I’ve always grown up around dogs, including having my own boy and love them all, I’ve recently set up as a full time dog walker. I have trained my own dog and enjoy Scentwork as enrichment training. I am going into full time dog walking so this can fit in and around that Mon- Fri with additional weekend requests or bank holidays possible. Always look round to check all property boundaries, talk to the owner about their requirements and how I can ensure the dog is comfortable and happy while in my care.
About: I have always grown up with dogs in the family and when I moved out I got 2 of my own and now have a lovely little Cavapoo who loves other dogs as much as I do. I currently work from home on flexible working so am always around to give them the care, love, attention and walks that they need to be happy in my home. I have a good sized, fenced back garden for the dogs to run around as much as they want to, I could even sit and work outside with them if they wanted to play outside for long periods of time.
About: My sister and I would always feed, brush, make sure our cat was happy, she lived to 16! Last summer I went to camp America and looked after the horses and farm animals, doing everything from mucking out to feeding to walking them round the arena. My grandma always had a dog when I was growing up which I loved seeing, taking on walks and playing with:) We aren’t allowed any animals now as we live in a rented property and I miss it so much! I am a student at Sheffield Hallam university, I have classes 3 days a week. I also do some extra curricular things like dance and climbing but they are quite flexible:) Making sure they have enough water, fed when there meal times are, taken on regular walks, toilet breaks, given attention and love🧡 for dog sitting- making sure to follow instructions of the owner as all homes will be different with the dog having different needs.
About: Growing up I always wanted a dog but it wasn’t on the cards, family and friends had dogs I’d walk and take care of. 4 years ago I got Albert my French Bulldog, he’s the cheekiest chap ever but has so much love for people and other dogs. My stepdad own dogs and private kennels, which I help with taking care of. I’ve helped birth puppies, train dogs of all ages. I decided to take my passion to another level. I am a student trainer with The Dog Training College. I am qualified in dog first aid. I own my own online store whilst studying to become a dog trainer. I’m home all day unless I’m helping my stepdad with his dogs or boarders. No dog would be left for lengthy periods of time. Dogs safety and well being is at the forefront of everything. I have 2 dogs who live at home, Albert (intact male French bulldog) and Stanley (intact male King Charles Cavalier). Both my dog love playing and interacting with other dogs. Due to my boys being intact I won’t be offering boarding at my home for Females on heat. Meet and greets with my boys are available in a neutral space where yourselves and your pooch can meet myself and my boys.
About: I have a Diploma in Animal Management and years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets. I’ve worked closely with dogs of all breeds and temperaments, own and care for my two horses daily, and have been trusted to look after other people’s beloved animals for several years. From energetic pups to gentle seniors, from cats to horses and small pets, I tailor my care to each animal’s needs. Safety, patience, and plenty of affection are always at the heart of what I do because every pet deserves to feel happy, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’ve been pet sitting alongside my past jobs for several years but recently I have made the leap to full-time pet care and dog walking, allowing me to dedicate all my time, energy, and love to looking after pets and ensuring their owners have peace of mind. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding on schedule, refreshing water, maintaining clean litter trays or cages, administering medications if needed, and providing playtime, walks, or cuddles according to each pet’s personality. I also ensure their environment stays safe, clean, and secure, and I’ll give regular updates and photos so owners can relax knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.
“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: We currently have our beautiful girl Lucy and have taken care of dogs for as long as we can remember. There have always been a dogs in our lives growing up. We are often relied on to walk, feed and look after pets of neighbours, friends and family members. We are responsible, hardworking and active people. So if a pet was to stay with us it would be given lots of walks, plenty of love and would be one of the family. We also have experience in caring for puppies so we are more than happy to cater to their needs. If your pet isn’t pet friendly Lucy is able to stay with my parents temporarily so isn’t an issue. I currently work 6 on 4 off so on my days off I would have plenty of time to care for and walk dogs. In addition to that my partner also works from home which can be flexible depending on the animals needs so we can work around you. I have a fenced back yard and a big field next to our house. We also have a baby gate if the pet needed to be restricted to downstairs area only. I have a car which would allow us to take the pet on a walk further away from home and there is the option of pet collection if required and not too far.
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.
About: I have owned numerous dogs over the years and currently have 2 Labradors. 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.
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.
