“Ivans is a fantastic dog trainer and sitter - our boy Chester loves him and has come along so far in a short time. He is excellent to work with and sends us great videos and photos too, as well as practical tips that have helped us as new dog owners”

“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've taken care of a variety of dogs since I was younger such as labradors, cockapoos and staffies. They have ranged from puppies to more senior dogs. I have watched them overnight, to pop in visits and walking up to 4 at a time. I am a part-time worker with a schedule that works around me and my other commitments so therefore I am available at your convenience. I am skilled in how to keep pets happy and will give them 100% of my time and effort with no distractions. I will make sure I am aware of how to gain your pets trust and its likes/dislikes.

About: I've always had a genuine love for dogs and believe they deserve to be treated like part of the family. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I'm patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog's individual needs, whether they love long walks, playing, or simply having company and cuddles. I'll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away, keeping to their usual routine as much as possible. I know leaving your dog with someone new can be worrying, so I'll always provide the same love, care, and attention that I'd want for my own pet. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your dog is in kind, capable hands and having a wonderful time. Alongside working part-time as a hairdresser, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the dogs in my care. This means I can provide regular walks, playtime, companionship, and ensure your dog gets the love and care they deserve without ever feeling rushed. At the moment, I'm offering dog walking and drop-in visits. As I have a dog of my own at home, I'm unable to provide boarding or doggy day care right now.
“Our dog Ralph has started walks with Nova this week and we couldn’t be more pleased, the process has been so easy and Ralph is visibly really enjoying his walks! This has taken a lot of stress away from us as now we know Ralph is in good hands when we can’t be there. Thank you Nova!”

About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals, with most of my hands-on work involving dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, and fish. I’ve also spent time caring for or working around animals like horses, pigs, sheep, birds (including chickens, quail, ducks, geese, budgies, parrots, owls, and pigeons), reptiles (corn snakes and geckos), and even tarantulas. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and needs, including those with medical or behavioural challenges, as long as I have clear guidance on their routines. My experience includes: • Administering medication to both cats and dogs, including insulin injections for diabetic dogs • Following any strict dietary and exercise routines prescribed. • Caring for a large rescue Alaskan Malamute with behavioural issues. • Bathing and grooming various dogs and cats when needed. • Knowledge and experience using positive reinforcement training principles (so can support your pet’s routine and any training goals with consistency and understanding) What sets me apart is my MSc in Animal Behaviour, which gives me a solid foundation in animal psychology, body language, and wellbeing. I’m calm, observant, and always attuned to each animal’s unique personality and comfort. I’m open to working with any species and will always be upfront about my experience. I’ll only take on a job if I’m confident I can give your pet the highest standard of care. I also have some photography and videography experience through working as a content creator, so if you would like regular updates sent i can also include clear, cute photos and videos of your pets too if you are happy with that! I currently work part-time and mostly from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m happy to help with early mornings, late evenings, or anything in between. Just let me know your pet’s routine and specific needs and I’ll always do my best to accommodate. I prioritise each pet’s comfort and care over taking on too many jobs. If I’ve committed to being available at a certain time for your pet, you can trust that I’ll remain available and focused during that time. I’m happy to care for pets either in your home or mine, depending on what works best for your pet’s comfort and routine. I live with two other adults in a two-bedroom house with a private, fenced garden. The fencing is currently 4ft high, so garden access will be carefully managed based on your pet’s size, behaviour, and needs. Pets in my care will always be supervised when in the garden, and I’m happy to follow your preferences for on or off lead time. Indoors, pets can enjoy a calm, cosy environment with access to the house depending on their needs and personality. I also live near lovely walking routes for regular outdoor enrichment. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priority, and I’ll always do my best to match their usual routines and provide a safe, nurturing environment.
“Frances was very professional right from the meet and greet with cooper and kept us informed every day about his walk sending pictures and pupdates we will definitely be using her again.”

“Would recommend Danielle, she came to meet me and Dottie before the first dog walk. Everything went well on the day and I would definitely be happy to leave Dottie with Danielle again. Thank you.”

I really enjoy getting to know their individual quirks, whether they’re super cuddly or a bit more independent. I’m a calm and reliable individual who will always make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My family has a lovable 11-year-old Labrador whom I helped train from puppyhood — from basic commands to good leash manners. We also shared 18 wonderful years with a gentle British Shorthair cat, so I understand the unique needs of both dogs and cats at every life stage. Whether it’s energetic playtime, patient training, or quiet cuddles, I treat every pet like my own. Your furry family member will get the same love, attention, and care I’ve given my own for decades. Because I work from home, your pet gets my full attention all day. I can easily fit in frequent potty breaks, play sessions, and walks, and I’m always around for company and cuddles. My flexible schedule means I can stick closely to your pet’s routine — whether that’s early morning walks, midday training, or late-night check-ins. Having pets around while I work makes my day better, and I love giving them the same care, patience, and companionship I’ve given my own over the years Whether your pet is staying at my place or I’m visiting yours, they’ll get the same love, attention, and comfort they’re used to. In my home, I make sure there’s plenty of space to play, cozy spots for naps, and a safe, calm environment. I stick to your pet’s routine for feeding, walks, and playtime so they feel secure and happy. When I care for pets in their own home, I keep things consistent — from their favorite walk routes to the way they like their food prepared. My goal is to make every visit or stay feel like home, so your furry friend stays relaxed, loved, and well-cared for.

About: £30 first booking with code KELLYT04221 I have a Labrador who I have trained and loved for 7 years. Dog and cat sit for my whole family. Want to give something back to those that need help. I understand how hard it is to find reliable sitters, day care, walkers or just someone to let them out during the day. I am a registered nurse who works shifts so I have different days off a week so I can be flexible to offer service. I don’t work weekends I have a secure garden with a very well behaved Labrador who has been exposed to many different breeds at daycare herself so I can offer a safe loving environment.

About: I had my greyhound, Poppy, for ten years. Losing her recently was genuinely one of the hardest things, and if you know, you know. So yes, part of why I'm here is because I miss having a dog around. But mostly it's because I genuinely love them, I understand them, and I know exactly what it feels like to hand your dog over to someone and hope they actually care. I've looked after dogs of all sizes for family and friends over the years, big breeds and small ones, and I treat every single one the way I treated Poppy. Like they matter. Because they do. What you can expect from me: Regular updates and photos so you're never left wondering A calm, relaxed environment, no chaos Plenty of attention, walks, and fuss Someone who actually gets how much your dog means to you. Greyhounds taught me patience and gentleness. Ten years of that stays with you. Your dog is in safe hands. Available weekends for all types of sitting! I work full time and I’m self employed so sometimes I am available mid week! So feel free to message if availability isn’t showing. Your dog gets treated exactly how I treated mine for ten years. Fed on time, walked properly, never left for too long, and given actual attention rather than just being in the background. I know greyhounds, so I understand that different dogs need different things. Some need calm. Some need stimulation. I read the dog in front of me as well as the checklist. You'll get updates throughout the day so you're never sat wondering. Photos, messages, whatever keeps your mind at ease. Your home or mine, the standard stays the same.
“I booked Kim to walk my rescue dog Nay, Nay has had a really tough life with lots of nervousness around people and other dogs. I was really impressed that Kim not only suggested a meet & greet but also a trial walk with herself and myself to ensure all went well. I felt really at ease with Kim she knew how to get Nay to respond on our trial walk, Nay was completely focused on her the entire time and the usual chaos walk I’m used to was completely different. I was more than happy to then let Kim and Nay go off together and enjoy there walk. Nay came back exhausted and happy she even tried to follow Kim to the car to go home with her. I’ve never known her to take to someone so well and I now can be at ease knowing Nay is being walked while I’m at work by someone who is so easily to get along with. Very friendly young woman with lots of knowledge and nothing was too much trouble. I had to change the time at short notice and Kim made me feel like it was no trouble at all. I would recommend her without a doubt.”

About: We have both grown up having our own pets, having a variety of different animals, including multiple dogs and cats that we have fed, walked, bathed etc. We have looked after other peoples dogs, cats and other animals previously as well. This has given us lots of experience: we have looked after puppies, seniors, animals that have needed medication or other special treatments. We both have part-time work however with enough notice we can choose our hours to schedule around yours. We have different schedules so one of us is usually free if not both of us. If you do have a preference of which one of us visits your pet that’s fine as well just let us know, as we understand some animals have a preferred gender. We live in an apartment building but it there still has enough room for a small-medium sized dog if they can be quiet or any sized cat. The apartments are gated off with a little garden area on the property. And they is a big park next to my building for walks as well. We don’t mind looking after your pet at your own home to allow them to feel more comfortable in their environment as well. We will try cater to your dogs or cats needs as much as possible if you have any specific requests.

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.
