“Lovely dog walker. Thank you!”


About: I have experience caring for my own pets for the last 10+years. Experience with larger dogs; my current doggo is a Labrador who is super energetic and never stops. I have recently started my own Pet Care business for regular and adhoc clients, so my day revolves around your animals and their needs. It will be lovely to get out and walk people’s dogs or give them some fun at home. I will visit your home and follow all guidance you provide for caring for your dog. I have my own puppy so understand the need for safely entering and exiting the house and securing doors etc around the home

“Shaina was brilliant , definitely will be booking with her again. Ted was happy as Larry when he returned , Shaina has been super helpful since I have had a bad leg and ted loves his walks with the neighbors dog but she cannot take both , so Shaina stepping in was great. Recommend , will book again.”


About: Hi, I’m Stef – your pet’s new quirky companion and your go-to for reliable, loving care. I have two Sphynx cats so I know a thing or two about high maintenance four legged friends, don't worry if your pet requires their own space my boys love their sleepovers with their grandparents 😂 I volunteer in the local animal shelter taking in foster litters when the rescue requires and that's how I've ended up here 🖤 I'm pretty flexible on time I control my own schedule and can keep it fluid to suit the needs of my new pet pals 🖤 My garden is fenced off and I have camera surveillance throughout the exterior and interior of my house. I have a very mischievous Sphynx so inside is fully pet proofed.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have a dog of my own - 5 year old black Labrador called Limmy. I’m currently studying for a dog training qualification, and have trained 4 dogs (including puppies and rescues). I am very experienced with dogs and am confident. I recently fostered a Doberman for just over a year, which involved training her and building her confidence. I want to ultimately move towards a career in dog training. I am happy to board/walk reactive dogs - however I’d like to meet ahead of the booking to ensure they are ok with my dog. I work full time (Mon to Friday) but work from home, so I can walk your dog before 9.30am, over lunch time or after 5pm. I am also free all weekend. Your dog can stay with me whilst I work from home where I will give them stimulating toys and activities to keep them happy and occupied. I don’t offer home boarding, as I am a full time house sitter. I have a large car with safety devices for transporting your pet(s)! I am due to complete a Level 3 Canine first aid course in November 2023 with Purple Dog.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was young, from talking care of my uncles over 6" Great Dane when he's on holidays to taking care of my own Yorkie who's got an attitude of a grumpy teenager. Ive walked, bathed, trained all different breeds of dogs and have a lot of patience to work with every dog with every personality! I'm a university student who is in Tuesday to Thursday afternoons. I have a long weekend that's open for walks and drop ins, I'm an early riser! I care for a 8 year old and 2 year old Yorkshire terrier at home along with a falcon. my older dog is reactive and requires more quieter walks so I know how to make sure reactive dogs are still enjoying their walks.

“Thank you”


About: Having grown up on a farm I have always been surrounded by animals. From dogs, cats, horses, cows, rabbits and Guinea Pigs I’ve looked after them all. When leaving school this drove my ambition to become a veterinary nurse, I worked in practice from 16 years old and gained masses of knowledge and experience in caring for all animals. I qualified and worked in practice for 10 years. I also set up a small kennels while living at the farm and really enjoyed all aspects of looking after the dogs. Since moving from the family home to my own home this is something I missed greatly. In 2022 we moved to our forever home I have gained The Animal Welfare License though West Lancs Council & at up my home boarding business to once again care for dogs I love so much. I’m currently a full time mummy with two children in primary school, this gives me plenty of time to fit in dog walks, visits and send quality time with your pets I have a large secure garden and a friendly little terrier who could keep you dog company. We also have a large kitchen/dinning area (with an aga to snuggle up to) and large utility room for drying off. We can see the canal from the front window so are super close for lovely long canal walks.

About: After working in Finance for the past 7 years I am now looking to drive forward with my passion of working with animals. Living on a farm all my life I am used to long walks, however with my gorgeous border collie Archie now reaching the age of 9, he’s not up for as long of walks as ge used to be. I currently work 9-5 but am currently in my notice period therefore my availability will free up a lot more towards the end of June. Happy to work Weekends. I believe that a dog’s trust builds over time and I’m willing to take that time. Some dogs require a lot of patience from individuals to build the relationship. I will ensure that your dog feels safe at all times whilst also building that trust and bond.


About: I love dogs. I have two dogs myself and I am looking forward to the opportunity of taking care of more dogs. My dogs enjoy the company of other dogs.

I will take care of your dog as it would be my dog. I love taking the dog out for long walks. I am quite sporty myself and walking with the dog is a way to exercise. I truly believe that it is important to find a dog sitter you can trust same to the idea of hiring a baby sitter. I am happy to meet your dog before you make the decision and see whether I match your needs. As I have a true passion for dogs I feel I would get along with your dog fine.

About: Having had dogs all my life I have had plenty of experience. I have dog and house sat for friends and family over the years and officially been sitting on rover for a couple of years. I have had the pleasure to enjoy the company of their pets and care for their every need whilst on vacation! I have had experience with both larger and small dog breeds and have no problem sitting multiple pets at one time. I have also been house and dog sitting on other sites to grow trust with people who are in need of someone to care for their dogs whilst they’re away. Work from home 50% of time also so have that flexibility to care for your pets throughout the week with help from my partner on office days meaning your pets will never be alone longer than 4 hours at a time. Able to do house visits and walks through the week and on weekends. Parter also sits with myself so have two pairs of hands to help with walks if there is more attention required. I have cared for pets all my life and dog sat in other peoples homes also. Have the capability to walk, care, feed and bath pets and even give medication if required.

About: I have owned hamsters, rabbits and a dog since the age of 6. I am also the honorary godparent to my uncle and aunt's two cats. Currently, I am unemployed over the summer. This would be ideal for me because I can pick up jobs that suits me. I can also work around my studies when I go back to university. I normally have 3 classes a week whilst at uni; this leaves plenty of time in-between to care for local pets. I will never give a pet human food in case it has a less than desired affect on their stomach. I have a stair gate that I can bring if your pet needs to be moved into another room. I will ensure not to leave anything that the floof could potentially ingest out in the open.

Samantha D.
“I have known Samantha for over 10 years and she often looks after my West Highland terrier and toy poodle. I never have any concerns when my 2 babies are with Samantha as she shows them nothing but care, love and consistency. Sam goes above and beyond when looking after Pip and Ronnie they both adore her so much so that when I go to pick them up they follow her around as though I am not there. They come back from Sam happy washed and clipped its almost like they have their own spa day with her. Samantha regularly sends me photos and video clips of them playing and out on walks. Sam understanding of a dog and their needs is very impressive she has treated both of my dogs for their extra medical needs. All in all Samantha is an excellent dog sitter and I wouldn’t leave Pip and Ronnie with anyone else.”
