About: I'm in my forties and I've taken care of many pets throughout my entire life ranging from cats, dogs, ferrets, rats and more. I walk dogs for friends and neighbors regularly and love them like my own. As I'm not working at the moment I'm able to take and walk pets all week, even in the late evenings. I'd be available from around 8-9am to 11pm. I'm capable to take care of medicated pets by giving medication or even providing first aid. I have experience in grooming and bathing dogs. Energetic and high maintenance dogs are also welcome as I have experience and am happy to walk far and spend hours with them at the park. I prefer to keep dogs on leash when walking them to avoid any risks.
About: After leaving the nursing profession 10 years I set up my own dog walking and boarding business in London and had many regular clients for 8 years. Eventfully I moved up to Northumberland where there was little need for dog day care.... In 2021 I then moved to Somerset and once again have the time to dedicate my time caring for dogs. I am a retired nurse, so any dogs who come for day care or home boarding stay will never be left on their own. I have 2 Maltese terriers, one is 13, the 11. They are well used to other dogs in their home and are very sweet natured... Home from home comfort is offered! I have a large fenced and hedged front an back garden. I have access to some of the loveliest walks in Somerset from the Quantocks to Exmoor.
About: I have grown up taking care of animals and have a wide variety of experience. Personally, I have always owned cats and have been taking care of my neighbour's dogs for the past 11 years. Professionally, I have just completed my veterinary training at the University of Liverpool and have spent the last 5 years learning to care for animals and putting this in practice on placements (both in and out of clinical settings). As a minimum, we complete 38 weeks of placement outside of our studies and the last year and a half of our degree is spent on rotations in veterinary hospitals. I have been trained in small animals (mainly cats, dogs and rabbits), equine and farm species (mostly cows and sheep) but I am mainly interested in working in a small animal veterinary setting when I enter practice. For now, I am taking a year-long break between my studies and entering full time work. Because of this training, I have a good understanding of animal care and behaviour, am capable of reading animals and their cues, can administer medications and notice if a pet is unwell and of course, have a great deal of love for animals! (Let me know if you would like more details of specific experience, I can happily provide this but is quite a long list) I am currently unemployed as I have just graduated after 5 years at university and have decided to take a year long break before I enter into full time work as a veterinarian, and so I am pretty available! From anxious to over-excitable, I make an effort to understand each animal's temperament and interact with them accordingly which usually means we can get on well! I am more than happy to receive information about a pet's personality and likes / dislikes ahead of meeting them. When taking them out for walks, I am open to suggestions on locations, especially if they have favourite routes and will keep them on the lead unless given specific permission otherwise and in an area I deem safe. I understand it is a lot to let a new person care for your pets and enter your home so I am happy to meet (if local and schedules permit) or at very least call with you before starting and keep you updated via phone if you are away so that you have peace of mind. (Also as a proud plant owner myself, I can tend to these while you are away too!)
About: I own a gorgeous mixed dog breed so have direct experience as well as my childhood home hosting various cats and dogs. I have dealt with heartbreak and pure pleasure. Currently in between jobs so could do with some extra money. Each week I can be flexible. Evenings are also a possibility as well as weekends. I have a modest sized house with sufficient fencing. I live alone. No children. I own a dog myself so I am very aware of what is too much .
About: Hi everyone! I have been providing dog walking and house-sitting services for friends and colleagues over the years, and I now have some extra free time and would like to offer my services to more dog owners. I have experience looking after both small and large breeds. Having lived in South Africa, I am very comfortable around larger, more active dogs. I also recently welcomed a Cockerlier called Chloe into my family, so I am equally happy looking after smaller dogs. I am happy to adapt to your dog’s individual needs and to follow the commands, routines and instructions you already use with your pet. I can also help reinforce basic training and teach simple tricks. For more active dogs, I am happy to provide longer walks or even a steady jog if that is what your dog needs. I am based in Taunton but can travel further afield. I am also regularly available around Exeter, where my partner lives. I can offer dog walking on some weekdays and am available for house sitting during most school holidays. If you are looking for someone reliable, active and caring to walk or look after your dog, please feel free to get in touch. Even if you are unsure whether I can cover your area or accommodate your needs, just ask! I am free most school holidays. This is when I'm most likely to be free to help with your pet care needs. Feel free to contact me to check availability especially if you are based in Taunton I am a part-time teacher, so I have some free mornings and afternoons during the week. I am also available for most school holidays and can be quite flexible, so please feel free to get in touch to discuss what you need.
About: I’ve always taken care of the pets of my friends, family and neighbours and have recently been using the borrow-my-doggy app to help look after the dogs of locals on a volunteering basis. This has included walking the dogs and having them overnight, with one client saying she teared up because of how helpful I was! I currently have no fixed working hours, so I am completely flexible! I can be a morning person or night owl depending on your pet, in order to adapt to their schedule in the most convenient way possible for you and them. I have a spacious area with 3 rooms and an open plan layout as well as stairs to allow your pet space to roam and run free, before heading out to the many amazing walking areas right in front of the gated property I live in. I have dog toys from when I looked after previous dogs and food/water bowls suitable for both dogs and cats. There’s never anything sharp or dangerous or in the way on the tidy floor of my house, making it the perfect place for your pet to roll around or play-fight, or just to rest after we’ve walked, played, cuddled, trained.. whatever your pet wants:)
About: I have experience with most breeds of dogs and cats (big and small)! This involves grooming, giving meds to senior felines and canines and weaning puppies from 3 weeks of age! I am also capable of training basic tricks from scratch, especially to younger dogs :) I’ve worked in a Dog Groomers for a few years now which has made me extremely patient meaning I can cope well with all types of temperaments and learnt to respect the boundaries of animals. My friends and family have trusted me plenty of times to walk, feed, bathe and care for their pets overnight, as they know I’ll provide them with updates throughout! I’ve been bonding and caring for my rescue cat since I was 4 years old. She means everything to me and she’s still here 18 years later happy as Larry! Having this strong bond with her has gained me an understanding of how important a pet’s happiness is to their owner, so I’d love to be apart of that whilst you are away! I have a degree in Zoology, but I am currently working as a bunny keeper in birmingham! I normally work Monday-Fridays 9:30am-4:30pm with the occasional weekend day in lieu. Due to this, I am only able to provide evening and weekend services. I’m an active person so my walks can range from 30 minutes to a couple hours depending on the breed and your preference, I’m also capable of walking multiple dogs at a time :) After each drop in, walk or house sit I will ensure your home is left tidy and your pet is left happy! If you need me to crate your pet at any time, just let me know! You will receive regular photo updates of your pets whilst you’re gone if this is of interest to you (I have interest in animal photography so it would be my pleasure!) :)

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.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your West Somerset. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
