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: Reliable, warm and caring canine-obsessed parents of Leo, my partner and I work from home on most days and enjoy taking care of all our furry friends. Be it goofy pups or senior dogs, we love them all. We've owned and looked after dogs for almost 7 years now. We have a huge garden and a ball pit as well as plenty of puzzles, toys, and other activity ideas to keep them engaged when away from you (seasonal; not rainproof) Are you worried about leaving your furry friend alone? We've got you covered! As pet parents ourselves, we've dedicated lots of time to understanding dog behaviour and training, including leash manners, reactivity and scent-work. Be it for a couple hours or a few days, we're happy to follow your care instructions -- the more detailed the better! Whether you want them walked in a specific way, want hourly photo updates, or even want us to try teaching them new tricks or simply reinforce your training/ boundaries, we'd be more than happy to accommodate your requirements. We have a very flexible working schedule, which means there is usually one of us at home, available to look after your pup at all times. We have a huge and secure garden with lots of options to keep them engaged (both indoors and outdoors) (eg, puzzles, scent games, ball pit, and lots of toys!). You can expect to receive lots of photo and video updates, and they wouldn't be left alone at any time. Dogs are also allowed on all furniture (unless you have a boundary/ rule, then we can follow it accordingly)!

“Could not recommend Katie enough. Frankie had a fantastic time with Harley and Bruce. He was so excited to visit and seemed genuinely happy and content. I felt very safe and secure knowing Frankie was incredibly well looked after with Kaite. Will most definitely book again. Thank you Katie 😊”

About: I have previously been a trusty Rover member with reviews attached. I have just moved back from New Zealand with my partner. I have 20+ years experience looking after animals all shapes and sizes. I know what it takes to look after people's pets and treat them like they are my own. I have just moved back from NZ and am free all the time currently to take care of your pet. Weekly, daily, weekends, just let me know. I am currently living in my family home so cannot board pets yet. Only visits and walks. If I am visiting your home, I will treat your pet with respect and more importantly make sure they feel safe.
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 4 years experience working with a wide range of animals from guinea pigs to tortoises. I have 1 year experience of specifically working with dogs within a grooming salon where I worked with a variety of breeds and sizes:) I have also had the experience of helping raise a litter of puppies from birth to 8 weeks! I am currently unemployed after finishing my final year of studies. So I have plenty of time during the week to spend time with dogs! I will create a safe and trusting environment with the owners pets by keeping in touch with the owner and being reliable. Also following the owners instructions!

About: Hi! My name is Rachel, I am 28 years old and I am a MASSIVE animal lover (especially dogs!) I have grown up around dogs and other animals my whole life and I now have 2 little fur babies of my own! I grew up with 2 cocker spaniels and since moving out of my family home I now have 2 wire haired dachshunds, Roger & Betsy. Both of my dogs are extremely loving, playful and cheeky! They love to play with each other and other dogs. Roger is 2 years old and Betsy is 4 months so we are still going through the puppy training stage. Both of my dogs came to live with me from 8 weeks old and so I have plenty of experience with puppies and puppy training. Despite not living close to them anymore, I still regularly look after my family dogs when my parents are on holiday. Both of them are now elderly and have had their fair share of health problems over the years, this has given me experience of looking after older dogs and administering oral medication. Over the past few years I have looked after dogs of all different sizes and ages for family and friends and I have now decided to use my time wisely and do what I love – being around and caring for dogs! As I already have dogs, my house is full of toys and the cupboards are always full of a variety of dog treats which Roger & Betsy are happy to share. I live within close proximity to lots of walking routes, parks and fields so your pup will never be bored as we have lots of different walking options. I have my own car and as long as you are happy, I am happy to travel with the dogs in my car to visit other walking routes. Please note I do not have a cage in my car but I do have dog seatbelts. I walk my own dogs at least once a day, I am able to walk the dogs at the same time so they can have a good play together, or if you would prefer I can take your dog for a 1-1 walk with myself, just let me know what you would prefer. I encourage Meet & Greet’s beforehand as I want you and your pet to feel comfortable with me and this gives us an opportunity to ask and answer any questions. I also welcome you to view my house and dogs if this would make you more comfortable. Your dog’s welfare is my number one priority and I want all parties involved to feel as safe and comfortable as possible so if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I mostly work from home, and due to the nature of my job I have a lot of free time during the week. This means I am available most days and at home throughout those days to give your dog all the attention they deserve. I have 2 dogs myself and therefore my life already revolves around playing, feeding, walking and cuddling so another dog will fit perfectly into our routine. When I look after a dog, my house is their house! I want the owner to feel comfortable and confident that their dog is safe in my house and I want your dog to feel like they are at home. I live in a 3-floor 3-bedroom house with an average sized garden so there is plenty of room to run around. The garden is completely fenced off and on warmer days I tend to keep the back door open so they can roam in the garden, with fresh water always available. Your dog will be treated how I treat my own dogs (spoilt!) this means that they are allowed to go on the furniture, however I will always respect the owner’s wishes and if you do not want this or have any other rules/preferences then I will do my best to follow these.
“Jet had a great day with Paul and we received plenty of updates. Jet clearly had lots of exercise and got on well with Paul's spaniel. Thank you for having him, and we'll definitely be in touch again! Thanks”

Mazie had a lovely day with Olivia. We had a meet and greet beforehand so Mazie would know her when we arrived for the day and she took to Olivia and her dad immediately. I received a couple updates through the day and felt very comfortable leaving my fur-baby with her.

Every time Rory visits Alex & Luke he comes home happy and very tired! He has started to get excited now when we pull onto their street! I am always comfortable leaving Rory in their care even with his nervous temperament. He can’t wait to have his sleepover in December! Thank you!

I have only left my pup once and it broke my heart he was mistreated and I was heart broken . Imagine my delight when we went on our 1st meeting with Barry. He was very warm and friendly with both myself and Ash , Ash loves meeting new people. Barry kept me updated all day with photos . I can't recommend him enough, I will definitely use him again and it's great that he only lives 3 minutes away .
