Ratings and reviews
Bella is the love of our lives, and we had never left her with anyone before, so choosing someone to look after her was a huge decision for us. We’re a family of four plus Bella, our English Cocker Spaniel. She’s an extremely loving and active girl who needs lots of love, attention and, of course, cuddles! 🐶❤️ We found Riley on Rover and chose him after reading his lovely reviews and having a telephone conversation beforehand. We immediately felt reassured, and our experience couldn’t have been better. Bella absolutely loved her stay with Riley. He kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which helped us enormously and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Riley gave Bella so much love, care and attention, and it was clear how happy and comfortable she was with him. She actually misses him dearly! 🥰 We couldn’t recommend Riley highly enough and would definitely use him again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our girl! ❤️🐾
Riley did a great job looking after JoJo overnight!
Max seemed to really enjoy his stay with Riley, who was communicative and sent loads of pictures during their sleepover!
Riley is one of few the people I trust to take care of my dog Odessa. She's a shy, aloof dog who takes a while to warm up to people, but Riley's calm, easygoing energy puts her at ease. You can tell he genuinely understands dogs as he doesn't force affection, which is exactly how you win her over. Whether it's a fun park walk or over night stays, she comes back home super happy and content. Most of all, I see how much my dog loves him and that's all that matters, he definitely has a natural affinity with dogs/ animals!
Riley the sweetest dog sitter ever!! You can really see how much he cares for our pup Madonna. He sent me photos and updates over the weekend. Madonna came back and immediately fell asleep which is always a great sign. Will definitely be using Riley again next time. Thank you Riley!! xx
Riley is an exceptional human that all dogs love! My dog Vivienne always came back from puppy sitting happy and sad that Riley left! Riley started looking after Vivienne when she was a puppy, and I always trust him to take the best care of her. Couldn’t recommend more!

Schedule
Working from home means I’m always around to keep your dog comfortable, whether that’s mealtimes, walks, or just curling up together on the couch. I live near several parks and love nothing more than a good walk (or multiple) followed by a relaxed evening in.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety is my top priority. My home is secure, comfortable, and set up to keep dogs relaxed, with space to relax or play. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay, so you always know how they’re doing. You can trust that your dog will be treated with the same care and attention I’d want for my own.
A typical day
Your dog will settle right in and enjoy a relaxed, fun day with plenty of love and attention. We start the morning with a nice walk on the common - perfect for sniffing, exploring, and stretching those legs. Throughout the day, we’ll take regular outside breaks nearby for fresh air, playtime, and toilet trips. Depending on your dog’s energy levels and routine, we usually go for two walks a day (or as many as they need!). We’re lucky to have some brilliant green spaces close by - Tooting Common, Clapham Common, and Brockwell Park - so there’s always a favourite spot with lots of room to wander and meet other friendly dogs. When we’re back home, it’s all about comfort. There’s plenty of chill time on the sofa, cosy naps, and cuddles. We like to keep things calm and homely, so your dog feels part of the family. Whether it’s a play session out and about, a quiet snooze, or another adventure on the common, your dog will get all the care and attention they deserve while staying with us.
