“Neil recently looked after our senior springer spaniel for a week and we can honestly say, from the moment we meet Neil before Pheobes stay, we knew we made the right decision and she would be in the perfect hands. We received photos and updates and Neil was so accommodating it really put our minds at ease that our girl was having the best time! She had the run of the house and was treated like a princess. She had week of plenty of love and walks. I cannot recommend mend Neil enough if you’re looking for a home from home stay for your pet, then this is the prefect sitter for you. We will 100% be using Neil in the future and will also be recommending him to our friends and family! Thank you so much Neil and family for taking the best care of Pheobe.”
“Julie was absolutely fantastic and made both me and Buster very welcome in her home. This was the first time I had ever had to leave Buster with strangers but, made me feel completely at ease and kept me updated throughout the duration of the booking. Not only did Julie take care of him but it was very clear that he had had fun there and even met a new friend.”
“Lucy was incredible start to finish. We were unfortunately let down 5 days before our wedding and were left with no sitter for our lovely Alfie. We met Lucy ahead of the date with her gorgeous family and all our reservations and worries were put to ease. She’s been nothing short of amazing sending regular updates and pictures and saved us in a time of need! We would highly recommend Lucy and her family, they really did treat our Alfie as one of their own! What a stunning family! X”
“So very kind and accommodating. Bronwen took our dog on beautiful long walks and wasn’t phased by his boundless energy. She sent lots of lovely photos of their fun together. Bronwen made sure she kept his usual home rules and routine to avoid confusion. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again! Thank you”
“Fab experience with Mandy from start to finish, quick replies setting up meet and greet to meet my dog to start, meet and greet went really good, Mandy showed me around her home and talked a little about her routine would be. Communication continued after meet and greet, then when booking came, Mandy was in contact to arrange times etc. Communication all weekend with pictures and videos of my dog. Would definetly recommend!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better family to look after Ozzy while we were away. From the moment we met them, they made us feel completely at ease, and it was obvious how much they genuinely care about the dogs they look after. We received regular updates, photos and videos throughout our holiday, which meant we could truly relax knowing Ozzy was happy, safe and having the best time. He was treated like one of the family, with plenty of love, attention, walks and playtime. Ozzy can be a little nervous in new situations because of his previous eye injury, but they were incredibly patient, understanding and kind with him. They took the time to let him settle at his own pace, and it was lovely to see how quickly he became comfortable and confident with them. Since coming home, we've actually noticed a real difference in his behaviour. He seems much calmer and more settled, and we're convinced spending time with their lovely resident dogs has had such a positive influence on him. It's been wonderful to see, and it's a real testament to the environment they've created. When we collected him, he looked so happy, healthy and relaxed, and it was clear he'd had a wonderful stay. We're so grateful for the amazing care they gave him and wouldn't hesitate to book with them again. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy and genuinely wonderful home away from home for their dog. Thank you so much for taking such fantastic care of our boy!”
“Fantastic first experience!This was my first time using a pet sitter, and Elizabeth made the entire process seamless and stress-free. She was absolutely fantastic and kept me constantly updated with reassurance and photos. My dog, Forrest, settled in with her immediately and was incredibly comfortable. I highly recommend Elizabeth and will absolutely book her again!”
“Dot had such a lovely time with Sarah and Rolo. It was lovely to see how quickly Dot had settled by receiving videos of Dot and Rolo together. I would definitely recommend Sarah and will be using in the future x”
“Yet again, Angie has proven to be a most trusted carer of my dog. Lottie is always happy to run into her house and is always so healthy and happy when we pick her up. The photographs, messages and videos keep me updated as to how Lottie is. Thank you so much Angie- you are the best!!!!”
“Derek provides an absolutely gold-star service - he asked all the right questions beforehand, took the time to get to know Bob, and then treated our daft collie like a king, making sure he was happy, entertained, exercised and settled. We’ll definitely be rebooking, thank you for giving Bob a lovely holiday!”
About: I have grown up owning dogs, fish, ferrets, guinea pigs, hamster's and cats. My nursing career has helped me develop the qualities that are also important in excellent pet care: patience, responsibility, attentiveness, and compassion. I carefully manage my availability and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to, so when your pet is in my care, you can feel confident that they will receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. Please feel free to ask me any questions and I will always try and accommodate you and your pet I’m reliable and organised and will always make sure I have plenty of time to give your pet the care, attention and companionship they need. I will always try and adapt and accommodate your pets needs dependant on their daily/weekly routine As a registered nurse I’m responsible, caring and used to putting wellbeing and safety first. I’ll bring the same level of care and attention to looking after your pet. I understand the importance of following routines, instructions and individual needs, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. Due to the nature of my profession I am DBS checked.
“Lauren was absolutely amazing with my dog cooper I was so nervous about leaving him but she reassured me I was sent photos everyday and she looked after him well. I will be using Lauren again fantastic!”
“Becca looked after our Dave very well. He’s not the easiest to look after but she did so with kindness and without drama. Lots of lovely pics and videos too. I would not hesitate to recommend her. 👌”
“Amy looked after Buddy overnight whilst I was at a wedding. She was so good with him and he really enjoyed his stay. She kept me up to date throughout the stay with messages and pictures. This is the second time Amy has looked after Buddy and he’ll definitely be back for more visits soon! Thanks again Amy!”
“It was our first time leaving Daisy and Blue and really nervous but had a daily update from Sean which helped us feeling ok leaving them. When we picked the girls up they were their usual bouncy selfs. Will definitely book with Sean again”
“I left my little black pug, Lola, in the care of the lovely Jas and her partner Bobby. From the moment I met them, I felt at ease as they seemed genuinely kind and caring people. Jas sent regular updates and even offered video calls during Lola’s stay, which gave me great peace of mind. Lola came back tired and happy, which says it all. Jas was emotional when returning Lola, and it was clear they had formed a real bond. I know my baby was truly loved and very well cared for during the 8 days she stayed with them. I would absolutely recommend Jas as a pet sitter and will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
“Words can not describe how grateful we are for Alzbeta. This is the first time we have left our boy with someone who wasn’t family and the longest time he has been away from us, but she has put us at so much ease. Alzbeta is so kind and loving of our Luffy, and is so understanding of him and recognises his training needs and behaviours. She’s cared for Luffy in every aspect and has made his first little holiday away so magical taking him on nice walks, swimming and meeting new friends. For us she’s kept us updated and let us know how Luffy is getting on, alongside sending us the most lovely photos and videos. We felt so relaxed knowing our boy was being cared for by Alzbeta and will definitely be booking with her again! Luffy already can’t wait xx”

“Sara was absolutely fantastic at looking after Woody whilst we were away. We received daily updates and Sara even made sure Woody didn't leave us any unexpected presents whilst away 😆. We highly recommend Sara!”

About: I've taken care of cats of every kind since I was a teenager. What started as a natural love of animals has since become my profession. I'm now a qualified animal behaviourist with a Postgraduate Certificate in Companion Animal Behaviour and Welfare, which means I don't just look after your cat — I understand them. Whether it's a quick drop-in or a longer sit, you can trust your dog is in safe, knowledgeable hands. I know what to do to keep your cat happy, settled, entertained and safe.
“Haven't left my cat before, and was a little nervous as she is 22yrs old and on meds. Communication with Taylor was great, plus Georgie took to her right away which is unusual. Lots of pictures and good feedback after both visits..even one of my bird which Taylor wasn't responsible for 🙂. This was something of a trial run for me, but excellent care and I would be extreemly comfortable booking Taylor again for a longer trip away. Highly recommend.”
“Robert followed my instructions perfectly, kept me well updated, and took very good care of my beloved cat, Diego. Thank you for being so attentive, Rob! I’ll be booking Rob again in the future.”
About: I regularly look after my sisters cat when she goes on holiday and look after my neighbours cat when they go away on the weekends, I love all animals and always have a bond with them
About: I’ve grown up with cats and I’ve had a few in the past. I’ve even been around whilst my cats have given birth! What an experience that was! SO cute! My house is calming, with no tiny humans or any animals running around, so they should feel comfortable and relaxed from the offset. They are free to explore every corner of the house. No where is off limits to them. My house is open plan and quiet, which should put them at ease straight away. They will be loved and cared for like they are my own and they can have as much affection as they’re comfortable with, whilst they get settled in! ☺️
About: Loads of experience being a dog mum to three different breads, different temperaments and different needs to a GSP , Beagle and a Mini Dachshund With a flexible university schedule, I’m often home, making it easy for me to care for my own dogs and look after other fur babies. I assure care, safety and full attention towards my pets and other owners dogs. I’m a great sitter as patient, responsible whilst also keeping the environment clean and comfortable for them. My flexible university schedule means I can spend quality time with pets, and my experience with my own dogs has taught me how to handle different temperaments and needs with care and confidence.
“lola was on time and she looked after my 2 dogs for the day fed them and played with them , kept house tidy . the only this was i didn’t hear from her all day to see how they were but apart from that it been good”
About: I absolutely adore all animals! I am patient, kind and caring. I would love to take care, cuddle and feed your fur babies for you when needed. I have had experience house sitting for family pets as well as friends and I also had 2 Siberians of my own who I absolutely adored!
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I have experience caring for both cats and rabbits, including feeding, cleaning, administering basic care, and providing plenty of attention and enrichment. I also have experience looking after pets in their own homes, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to following your pet’s routine as closely as possible. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or a senior who needs a gentler approach, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I understand how important regular updates are, so I’ll always keep you informed with photos and messages for complete peace of mind. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel happy, secure, and loved while you’re away, so you can travel knowing they’re in safe hands.
About: I have always had cats within my family home growing up. I do have two border collies however they’re very calm and can be kept completely separate from your feline friend if you are a little anxious about that. I have plenty of space for them to roam around in and will prioritise making them feel happy and calm in their new surroundings.
About: What sets me apart as a cat sitter is the combination of formal education, hands-on experience, and a genuine understanding of feline care and behaviour. I studied Animal Care at college for almost five years, giving me a solid foundation in animal welfare, health, and the specific needs of cats. Alongside my studies, I spent four years volunteering in a cat shelter, where I gained extensive experience caring for cats of all ages, temperaments, and backgrounds. This included feeding, cleaning litter trays, maintaining hygiene standards, providing enrichment and gentle interaction, and supporting cats that were shy, nervous, or in need of extra patience and reassurance. I have also cared for cats belonging to friends and family, who trusted and relied on me to maintain their routines while they were away. I understand how important familiarity, consistency, and a calm environment are for cats, particularly when their owners are not home. I’m easy-going, patient, and respectful, allowing cats to approach me in their own time. I’m also completely reliable and trustworthy, with many references available for peace of mind. My aim is always to provide thoughtful, attentive care so your cat feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Katy has been incredible from start to finish. Very friendly and amazing. Felt very comfortable trusting her with Judo and she kept me updated as much as possible which is greatly appreciated. 10/10 would definitely recommend! Would definitely book again when I next go away. 😊”
About: I have had several pets in my house since I was a child and growing up with them made me realise the importance in having them in our lives. I enjoy taking them on walks and playing with them, feeding them, bathing and grooming them, and giving them the right attention with love and care. I am available all day and If you need my service, please do not hesitate to contact me. I will take care of your pet and keep them happy. I will ask and follow all the instructions given by the pet owner and make sure to fit into their normal routines and giving them attention with care and love.
“Shannon is a very kind and conscientious sitter, always double checking whether everything she does is up to your specific requirements and went above and beyond keeping our kitty happy while we were away, provided loads of photos and videos and put us at ease. Even gifted a toy, which our cat really enjoys despite not being much of a toy lover. Highly recommended, especially if you have a timid cat, Shannon is very gentle and patient.”
“Laura has had my dog a few times now, from overnight to pop in visits. I was very worried at due to never have left him with anyone other than family. Arlo now loves seeing Laura and I would highly highly recommend Laura as she is great with dogs. keeps you updated through the day with info and pictures etc! no reason to use anyone else going forward!”
About: About Me Hi! I’m Sophie – a lifelong animal lover with over 8 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I live in a peaceful rural area surrounded by fields, with a secure open garden and a small enclosed one right next to my house. I work from home, so your pets will never be left alone – they’ll be part of the family while they’re here. I share my home with my own friendly crew: 🐾 Kisa, my gentle elderly dog who’s the queen of calm cuddles 🐾 Harley, an older collie mix who still plays like a pup 🐾 Mimi, a sweet 9-month-old kitten (friendly to all – except the local voles 😅) I have experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs and indoor-only cats. I’ve also cared for dogs with complex needs, including those with seizures, deafness, and medication routines (oral meds, injections, eye drops – you name it). I’m happy to accommodate special care and will always work with you to ensure your pets feel safe and loved. I prioritise keeping owners informed and at ease – I know how hard it is to leave your furry family behind, and I treat every animal in my care like one of my own. ❤️ Pet care is part of my everyday routine! I live and work from home, so I’m always around to give the animals in my care plenty of attention, love, and supervision throughout the day. (I work in cimla voluntarily on weekends - can sit in that area) Whether it’s cuddles on the sofa, supervised play in the garden, or peaceful strolls through the nearby fields, your pet’s needs easily fit into my schedule. I’m used to working around feeding times, medication schedules, and different energy levels — from playful pups to snoozy seniors. I structure my day around the pets in my care, not the other way around. I sometimes volunteer on the weekends but that's as and when! Pets in my care are treated like extended pack members from the moment they arrive. I make sure every animal feels safe, respected, and comfortable — whether that means quiet time, playtime, or sticking closely to their usual routine. At my home, I have an open garden surrounded by peaceful countryside, perfect for sniffy walks and fresh air. I also have a smaller enclosed garden right next to the house for potty breaks and supervised outside time. I never leave pets unsupervised outside. Inside, pets have full access to safe, cozy spaces, with comfy spots to relax and regular opportunities for cuddles, enrichment, and play. I supervise all interactions between pets and always follow your preferences regarding routines, feeding, sleeping, and exercise. I have experience with: Administering medication (oral, eye drops, injections) Caring for elderly, deaf, or anxious animals Managing multi-pet households calmly and safely Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, I aim to create a calm, stress-free experience where they feel loved and you feel reassured 🐾

“Derek took wonderful care of Rigby whilst hosting him for daycare! Rigby has quite strong separation anxiety, but it seems that he’s was incredibly comfortable and settled the entire time. Even ahead of the booking, the care put into the questions asked and the meet and greet really helped to ease my own nerves about it too. I’ll definitely be rebooking with Derek!”
“Absolutely amazing, thoughtful and responsive day care for my whippet. She had the best day with Becca and her pup Russell. Becca’s love and understanding of dogs is unmistakable. We will be returning, especially as I think Ripley has a new best friend in Russell!”

About: Our family have been around and owned dogs our entire lives. My husband and I have been looking after family and friends dogs together for nearly 5 years. We are newly established as a licensed home boarders taking 2 doggy guests at a time alongside our two neutered boys, and we want to offer as much flexibility and tailoring as possible for you and your pets comfort! I work from home weekdays so dogs have plenty of company! We can do walks at breakfast, lunch and dinner time, and weekends we can go for nice long and more adventurous walks (weather and dog dependant!) We have a large fenced back garden, half grass and half stone/slabs, and a smaller fenced front garden with grass and stone, the dogs can go anywhere in our home except my daughters room in case of teddy theft! We have a huge sofa so there is plenty of space for cwtches! We are pretty relaxed, flexible and happy to make accommodations to make sure all dogs are as happy as possible.
About: FULLY INSURED & Enhanced DBS checked🖤 Facebook business page: Wags & Whiskers🐾 🐾Diploma in Canine behaviour Hi there! My names Taylor-Lauren, but most people call me 'Tay' or 'Taylor' I'm 24 and live in Nelson (CF46). Most of the time I'm reading books or out in walks with my best friend.. my best friend being a border collie named Charlie🤎 I understand I may not have many reviews yet as I’ve not long joined Rover - but I wanted to try and make this my full-time job! So while I'm new to this app I'm not new to pet sitting or pet walking! I have experience with both cats and dogs due to growing up with both, as well as volunteering for Hope Rescue and doing a lot of work with Cats protection too. I fully understand how important it is to find someone who will love and look after your pets just like you would yourself, and that's what I hope to do here, after-all pets aren't just animals but they are members of our family that are loved just the same... sometimes more as they don't answer back or give attitude haha. I can offer my services of checking in multiple times a day and spending time with your beloved pet, housesitting if you would prefer for them not to be left alone while you're away and general dog walking too! Thank you for taking the time to read my little introduction, I hope to hear from you soon✨ I’ve currently left my full-time job, and looking to expand in other areas of my life starting with Rover! It’s something I’d like to do full-time and eventually have my own business in doing so, I have so many years of experience so I’m making use of it! Due to having a rescue cat, I’m unable to have other animals in my home - but caring for your beloved pets in the comfort of their own home is something I believe very important, giving them fusses, lots of cuddles and an active walk so they can be exercised and kept healthy!
About: My partner has always been raised with dogs as pets for 20 years, these have ranged from boarder coillies, cocker spaniels, terroirs to Rottweilers. I have alway grown up around family dogs and have loved taking care of them, Our home will be your fur babies home away from home when they stay with us. Bella was the fifth member to our family, sadly we said goodbye to her in May 25. But we would treat your fur babies exactly the same as we treated Bella. We welcomed the newest member of our family; Gwen in April 2026. As a Labrador she is full of energy yet still also very chilled. She enjoys a lovely walk and snoozing on the sofa. Gwen has slotted right in with our family and has also embraced the chance to have furry friends stay with her. She’s a quick learner and soon realises if a furry friend wants to play with her or not. Both of our children have been raised around dogs, and love getting involved with caring for them. I predominantly work from home and my partner works a rolling shift pattern so your fur babies will always have company when they stay with us. Bella is set in her ways however we would be more than willing to follow the same feeding scheduling that you implement for your dog. We would welcome your dog’s blankets, toys and beds to make them feel comfortable during their stay. We also have space for your fur babies to sleep in their create if needed. We have a large enclosed garden that your fur babies will have constant access to during their stay.

About: Grown up with dogs my whole life. I’ve wanted to be a veterinarian when I grew up but I couldn’t as I wouldn’t be able to do the things they do to animals cause I get so emotional. I did animal care training with ACT and worked with all animals. I’m a stay at home mam so dogs won’t ever be left alone during the day unless I drop my daughter to school which is only 5 mins down the road from where I live so can talk toe dog or dogs with me to drop her off at school then take them for a long walk around my local park I have a small garden with a gate right down to the floor so they can’t escape. They will have free roam of the house (except upstairs)

About: I’m a qualified, force-free dog trainer at Biscuits Buddies Dog Training I have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds and personalities. I’m particularly experienced with nervous, anxious and sensitive dogs, as well as dogs who may need a little more patience and understanding. I’m confident reading canine body language and always work at the individual dog’s pace, using kind, reward-based methods. I also have experience with puppies, senior dogs, large breeds and dogs with additional behavioural or emotional needs. I understand that every dog is different, so I’ll always follow their usual routine as closely as possible and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and understood while in my care. Most importantly, I’ll treat your dog as an individual , not just another booking! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally around my day, and when your dog is with me they’ll enjoy plenty of attention, enrichment, toilet breaks and time to relax. Please note that this is not a 24-hour supervision service. Dogs under my care must be comfortable being left home alone for periods of up to 4 hours during the day, as I may need to leave the house for work, appointments or errands. I’ll always make sure your dog’s needs are met before I leave and that they have a safe, comfortable space to settle until I return. 🐾 Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always come first. As a professional force-free dog trainer, I’m experienced in reading canine body language and recognising when a dog may be feeling worried, overwhelmed or simply needs some space. In my care, dogs are treated as part of the family and given a comfortable, calm environment with plenty of opportunity to rest. I’ll follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medication and any individual care requirements. I only use kind, force-free handling and will never use punishment or aversive equipment. I also take introductions and interactions with other dogs carefully, rather than assuming every dog wants or needs to socialise. I want both you and your dog to feel completely comfortable, so I’m always happy to discuss their individual needs, quirks and routines before their stay. 🐾
About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life as we've always had one as a family pet. I've also taken friends and neighbours dogs for walks along with dog sitting them. I always make a lovely bond and always make sure all animals are well looked after as they are more family than animals Pet care becomes a natural part of my own daily rhythm it’s woven into my schedule almost like clockwork. Here’s how it typically fits in: Morning: Wake-up nudge: Your dog might be your alarm clock. First task? A quick potty break or walk. Feeding time: You prep their breakfast while maybe grabbing your own. Grooming check: A quick brush, paw check, or wiping off muddy paws if needed. Midday: Exercise/play: Whether you're on a lunch break or home during the day, this is a chance to stretch legs and play fetch or tug. Mental stimulation: Maybe a puzzle toy, a training session, or even just some one-on-one time. Evening: Walk or play session: A wind-down activity that burns off energy. Feeding and clean-up: Dinner and water refill, along with any tidying up. Affection/cuddles: Pets need emotional care, too. This could be snuggle time on the couch while you relax. Before Bed: Bathroom break: One last trip outside. Health checks: You might slip in a quick ear check, teeth brushing, or meds if needed. I have a fenced off garden front and back due to having my own dogs with a side gate, dogs will not get out alone
“Our dog, Luna, absolutely loved being walked by Taylor. Taylor turned up promptly on time and took Luna to a nearby field, where we received videos and photos on how she was doing and her zooming up and down the pitch! (Taylor previously asked us if Luna was good at recall and able to be ‘off lead’). Taylor is great at communicating with us and facilitating our needs. Taylor even brought treats for Luna, creating a positive bond with her on their first walk. I would highly recommend Taylor to walk your dog/s, with the utmost professionalism and care for them.”
About: Animals have always been a presence in my life, whether through family, friends or neighbours, where growing up as a kid who always loved to play outside, dog-walking and visiting all the local cats played a massive part in my childhood. While I don’t have direct experience, it was always a delight to participate in the care of people’s most beloved pets. My strongest attribute is my ability to be active and get your pet the exercise, care and attention they’ll need. As a freshly graduated University student, I have a period of intermission as I decide on my next steps. Alongside part-time work in the evenings, I hope to take on pet care as a means to stay active, interact with the community and do something I enjoy as a little extra income. I feel it is my obligation to keep the pet company, abide by the instructions for me to keep your pet happy and engaged and ensure security and safety is maintained.
“Robyn came over to meet my dog Jasper before the walk and he took to her straight away. The photos and videos show he had a great time and it was great for me to see him happy in my absence. I will definitely be booking Robyn again!”
About: I grew up around working dogs and will be looking to get my own dog soon! I love dogs and I always have, myself and my partner have also got two spoiled cats in our house so I have experience with cats also. I have dogsat for friends and family and wholly loved the experience, I also trained all of my own dogs growing up so I fully understand that every animal has their own unique traits and personality. I'm always available to pop in and take care of your pets! Be it a short toilet break and water check or a good long walk, I'm happy to learn your rules and expectations and make sure that your animal is as happy as possible while I'm around. And if they're not the social type - thats fine too! I'll always have water with me on walks to make sure we both stay hydrated. I'll keep your dog on a lead at all times and am happy to take less social dogs out at quieter times to ensure they get a good walk in. I'm also happy to film and photograph both home visits and walks so you know your pet is receiving the best care possible while you're away. I also 100% encourage a meet and greet beforehand for you and your animal, so they can get a sizing of me and so you know who you're dealing with!

About: Hey! I have more than 10 years of experience taking care of domestic and farm animals of all kinds across a number of platforms and countries! There's been pets in my family home for as long as I can remember. Our first pets were stray kittens that my sister and I found at the bottom of our garden when I was around 8 and that's what started us off on our cat craze! Teddie the golden lab joined us in my early teens and lived in harmony with the cats. I love to travel and have been blessed enough to look after amazing animals throughout Europe in the last 4 years through a number of platforms to great success. Everything from ducks and chickens to goats and donkeys to cats and dogs of course, have been under my care in every regard from eating, sleeping, napping, training and medical needs. Anything specified by the owners is always carried out by me with the utmost of care like they're my own :) I have a car and love to travel, so I am super flexible and available. My schedule is extremely malleable around any particular routines your pet has whether that be medical, or feeding, sleep or exercise related. I absolutely adore canine and feline company and that's what I'm here for. They will always have my utmost focus and be my absolute priority. Until I have pets of my own again, I relish this opportunity to spend quality time with some new lovely furry friends. The only killer is when I have to leave and I've gotten so attached to them :( I do my utmost to assimilate into your pet's life so maximise comfort for them while you're away and absolutely miminise disruption to what feels normal to them.
About: I’ve got plenty of experience looking after dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m confident with daily care such as feeding, walking, playtime, and sticking to routines, as well as giving dogs lots of attention and reassurance while their owners are away. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed in their own environment, and I’m very patient and calm with nervous or energetic dogs. I’m also used to cleaning up after dogs, keeping their space tidy, and making sure they get enough exercise and mental stimulation. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and treat them as if they were my own, always following owners’ instructions carefully and keeping them updated if needed. My schedule is currently fully open and very flexible, which means I can easily adapt to different dog-sitting needs. I’m available for weekdays, weekends, short-notice bookings, and longer stays, and I’m happy to work around each dog’s usual routine. This flexibility allows me to give dogs plenty of time, attention, walks, and care throughout the day rather than rushing in and out. I’m reliable, punctual, and able to commit fully to the time needed to make sure each dog feels settled and well looked after. I take pet safety and wellbeing very seriously and always make sure the environment is calm, clean, and secure. In my home, I pet-proof the space by removing hazards, keeping doors and gates secure, and making sure pets are supervised and comfortable at all times. When caring for a pet in their own home, I respect their routine and surroundings, following all instructions carefully to keep things familiar and stress-free. I provide regular feeding, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection, while also monitoring behaviour and wellbeing so I can spot any changes quickly. Whether in my home or theirs, I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to create a safe, relaxed, and loving environment.
About: I love dogs and grew up with a Bedlington terrier for 14+ years, I also worked day to day with a Cavachon for 1+ years. My family also recently welcomed a cocker spaniel pup into the family so I know the amount of cwtches, play-time and walks puppies need! Although my experience has mostly been with small to medium sized pets, I love spending time with animals of all shapes and sizes! After returning home from travelling I’m currently without a job so have am available all day, everyday to walk or check in on your furry friend! I know like us, each dog has their unique needs, wants and likes so I am more than happy to tailor their walks and check ins to suit yourself and them!
About: 🔒Secure and safe gated play park walks 📸 Regular pup pictures and updates 🌲On lead forestry walks 👋🏻 Meet & greet before booking 💓 Cared for as if they were my own 🥰 Lots of hugs and cwtches I know how nerve wracking it can be to be without your pet and my aim is to make dog & owner’s experience as stress free as possible! Growing up we have always had dogs and I have taken on a lot of the walking/training responsibilities of both our animals and friends and families. I have lived with and looked after a variety of breeds and have experience with larger dogs too. Myself and my partner would love a dog of our own, but due to work commitments changing in the future I don’t want to commit to a dog of our own and not be able to meet its needs 100% of the time. So by offering services through rover I can fill that dog shaped hole in my heart and provide your pets with the love and attention they need when you are unable to x I am a freelance makeup artist and have a flexible schedule which will allow pet care to fit in to my routine easily and allows me to give them my full attention. I will be the primary caregiver to your pet. However when my partner Becky is not working, we will be caring for your pet together and both love going to long walks and adventures so your dog will get plenty of exercise and entertainment whilst in our care! Currently only offering pet sitting in their own home. It’s important to me that your pet is safe and comfortable in somewhere they know. I will ask all about their routine and how best they usually like to spend their days, so I can continue to make them happy and comfortable when you’re not there.

“Neil recently looked after our senior springer spaniel for a week and we can honestly say, from the moment we meet Neil before Pheobes stay, we knew we made the right decision and she would be in the perfect hands. We received photos and updates and Neil was so accommodating it really put our minds at ease that our girl was having the best time! She had the run of the house and was treated like a princess. She had week of plenty of love and walks. I cannot recommend mend Neil enough if you’re looking for a home from home stay for your pet, then this is the prefect sitter for you. We will 100% be using Neil in the future and will also be recommending him to our friends and family! Thank you so much Neil and family for taking the best care of Pheobe.”
“So very kind and accommodating. Bronwen took our dog on beautiful long walks and wasn’t phased by his boundless energy. She sent lots of lovely photos of their fun together. Bronwen made sure she kept his usual home rules and routine to avoid confusion. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again! Thank you”
“We couldn't have asked for a better family to look after Ozzy while we were away. From the moment we met them, they made us feel completely at ease, and it was obvious how much they genuinely care about the dogs they look after. We received regular updates, photos and videos throughout our holiday, which meant we could truly relax knowing Ozzy was happy, safe and having the best time. He was treated like one of the family, with plenty of love, attention, walks and playtime. Ozzy can be a little nervous in new situations because of his previous eye injury, but they were incredibly patient, understanding and kind with him. They took the time to let him settle at his own pace, and it was lovely to see how quickly he became comfortable and confident with them. Since coming home, we've actually noticed a real difference in his behaviour. He seems much calmer and more settled, and we're convinced spending time with their lovely resident dogs has had such a positive influence on him. It's been wonderful to see, and it's a real testament to the environment they've created. When we collected him, he looked so happy, healthy and relaxed, and it was clear he'd had a wonderful stay. We're so grateful for the amazing care they gave him and wouldn't hesitate to book with them again. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy and genuinely wonderful home away from home for their dog. Thank you so much for taking such fantastic care of our boy!”
“Fantastic first experience!This was my first time using a pet sitter, and Elizabeth made the entire process seamless and stress-free. She was absolutely fantastic and kept me constantly updated with reassurance and photos. My dog, Forrest, settled in with her immediately and was incredibly comfortable. I highly recommend Elizabeth and will absolutely book her again!”
“Yet again, Angie has proven to be a most trusted carer of my dog. Lottie is always happy to run into her house and is always so healthy and happy when we pick her up. The photographs, messages and videos keep me updated as to how Lottie is. Thank you so much Angie- you are the best!!!!”
“Derek provides an absolutely gold-star service - he asked all the right questions beforehand, took the time to get to know Bob, and then treated our daft collie like a king, making sure he was happy, entertained, exercised and settled. We’ll definitely be rebooking, thank you for giving Bob a lovely holiday!”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing with my dog cooper I was so nervous about leaving him but she reassured me I was sent photos everyday and she looked after him well. I will be using Lauren again fantastic!”
“I left my little black pug, Lola, in the care of the lovely Jas and her partner Bobby. From the moment I met them, I felt at ease as they seemed genuinely kind and caring people. Jas sent regular updates and even offered video calls during Lola’s stay, which gave me great peace of mind. Lola came back tired and happy, which says it all. Jas was emotional when returning Lola, and it was clear they had formed a real bond. I know my baby was truly loved and very well cared for during the 8 days she stayed with them. I would absolutely recommend Jas as a pet sitter and will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
“Words can not describe how grateful we are for Alzbeta. This is the first time we have left our boy with someone who wasn’t family and the longest time he has been away from us, but she has put us at so much ease. Alzbeta is so kind and loving of our Luffy, and is so understanding of him and recognises his training needs and behaviours. She’s cared for Luffy in every aspect and has made his first little holiday away so magical taking him on nice walks, swimming and meeting new friends. For us she’s kept us updated and let us know how Luffy is getting on, alongside sending us the most lovely photos and videos. We felt so relaxed knowing our boy was being cared for by Alzbeta and will definitely be booking with her again! Luffy already can’t wait xx”
