Frances was amazing, this is our third time now and we trust her completely! She plays with our cat, feeds him, brushes him and cuddle exactly like we would. She sends lots of pictures and she's always very friendly and polite. Our cat cannot wait to see her again!

We arranged for Carol to look after our 12 year old cat whilst we was out of the country. We felt that our cat would be more comfortable at home so we arranged for Carol to pop in twice a day for general care and to give Bingo some TLC. We had a couple of meetings beforehand and I was was instantly blown away by Carols professionalism, empathy and rapport with Bingo. While we were away Carol provided frequent detailed updates about Bingo with plenty of pictures and information. She went above and beyond and even bought him a toy! She had an instant connection with Bingo, which is surprising as he can be very aloof and standoffish with humans. We were completely at ease whilst on holiday knowing that our pet was being looked after by such a fantastic sitter. We would not hesitate to use Carol again and would highly recommend her to anyone who is after a sitter.

About: Dogs have been a big part of my life for many years, and I have had four dogs of my own as an adult. This has given me lots of practical, hands-on experience and made me very comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, routines and needs. I have also looked after friends’ and family members’ dogs in my home, so I understand how important it is to create a calm, safe and caring environment where dogs can feel settled and relaxed. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I would always treat your dog with the same kindness, patience and attention I would want for my own. I am reliable, attentive and genuinely enjoy being around dogs, and I would always aim to make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable and well cared for. I have a flexible routine, so I can make sure pets get the time, care and attention they need. I am happy to work around walks, feeding times and your pet’s usual habits to help them feel comfortable and settled. I have a fenced garden and a friendly pug-cross to keep your pets company. There are also three teenagers at home so the will never be lonely and have lots of attention.

I can’t recommend Olivia enough! She took such amazing care of my doggies while I was away and gave me complete peace of mind. From the moment i met her, it was clear how caring, responsible, and attentive she is with animals. Throughout the time I was away, Olivia kept me constantly updated with lots of videos, photos, and messages, which meant so much to me. It was so reassuring to see how happy and relaxed the dogs were with her. She made sure they were well fed, comfortable, and had plenty of attention and time in the garden. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pets, but Olivia went above and beyond and treated them like her own. I came home to two very happy doggies! I’m incredibly grateful and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. We will definitely be using her again!!!

About: Lifelong dog lover, my senior Labrador Penny has been with me since she was a puppy, she has recently turned 13 and has a lot of life left in her! I adore dogs of all ages and breeds. I’m currently working part time since having my baby so have plenty of time for play and snuggles. I am available Tuesdays, Wednesdays and weekends. My 1 year old will be accompanying me on visits/walks. I have a car so am able to either walk your dogs locally or take them on fun days out. I have a Labrador who can join on the walks if your dog prefers company, but equally I understand if they prefer alone time.

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 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: I have owned (big) dogs all my life and have had a lot of experience around different breeds ranging from lahasa apso’s to Japanese akitas. Your dogs will be looked after by myself (Alex) and my partner Luke so they get double the love and attention. Myself and Luke are usually free from late Friday to Monday nights giving enough time for a long weekend away. We have the accessibility to take them on day trips for long walks. There may be cases where we can have longer boarding sittings throughout the year. We are free on evenings if you need your dog walking or for drop in visits. We have a good sized garden that’s completely fenced giving enough room for freedom and a large field at the back of our house. Dogs can be crated if needed.

About: I love dogs and have plenty of experience with them, I grew up with Labradors and Springer Spaniels and I now have a Miniature Dachshund, who is doted on! She would enjoy having a furry friend around to play with and thrives in the company of other dogs. We enjoy hiking on a weekend and would happily take your dog along depending on their ability. I have done plenty of Rover bookings before but this was under another account, so I have experience with the process. Please message me for any further info :) Myself and my partner work from home Mon to Fri so we will always be around for company and your dog would never be left home alone or unattended. We will only take evening and weekend bookings where we are able to spend the entire time with the dogs. We would insist on a meet up prior to any dog sitting/boarding bookings just to check our dogs get along.

About: I’ve had dogs around me since I was a baby, so looking after them has always just been part of life. Friends and family know I’m the go-to person when they’re away — I make sure their dogs are fed, walked, and given plenty of attention. I’ve looked after all sorts of breeds and temperaments over the years, and I treat every dog like my own. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I work from home most days, so I’ve got plenty of time for walks, feeding, and play. I plan my day around the dogs I’m looking after — making sure they get regular attention, fresh air, and company throughout the day. I live in a safe, comfortable 2-bedroom apartment in Yorkshire with lots of nearby parks for walks. I always make sure pets are supervised, doors are secure, and they have a calm space to relax. When caring for dogs in their own home, I follow the owner’s routine closely to keep everything familiar and stress-free.

About: Dogs & cats have always been around in my life and I genuinely have a huge spot in my heart for animals. Growing up I loved looking after family & friends pets and exploring new places with them. Both my family and my partners' family have plenty of pets and we love being the favourite big sibling and giving them treats and lots of attention. Our families have lots of dogs of different breeds and we even have our own trained therapy dog Betty (who is Minnie’s best friend and auntie). I love spending my free time in their company and having the best bond with them. Hopefully, I can share that with your pet too! :) I have my own miniature dachshund, Minnie, who is an absolute bundle of joy. She is currently at doggy training school. She will always be with me, so as long as your pet is good with a very typical sausage dog, then I am the right fit for you. I’m currently working full-time, but I WFH so I’m always around for the pooch. I have plenty of breaks in my day to accommodate toilet breaks and walks to stretch their legs. I am the gal for any pet walking needs and drop-in visits to your home. I am a very organised person who loves a routine, so if your dog requires medication etc, I will be very punctual with feeding times etc. I can easily bring a crate and I can bring my pooch with me if you wish, as I know some dogs need other dogs company around humans. Alongside me, my partner loves animals too and will frequently ask to join me on dog walks. This definitely comes in handy for dealing with larger dogs and often helps when dealing with dogs that are more comfortable with male presence.

Shannon is great, I couldn't recommend her more! She took care of my cat for two weeks, like he was her own pet. Can you expect more from a sitter? :) She is communicative, punctual, reliable, kind and trustworthy. Her every day "reports" from drop-in visits contained everything you would want to know about how your pet is doing - their feel, mood, condition, and so on. Also, she always includes a lot of pictures of our cat, which was the main highlight for us. She's always willing to do that extra mile if you are in need, like add an extra bowl of water or reset an automatic cat feeder that isn't always working flawlessly. Or top it up with cat food. Definitely, I will book her again because I know that my cat is in good hands!

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.
