I just love doggy company and they like mine too !

Pet care experience

Way back in the beginning I worked as a Wagging Tails carer and during that time I looked after more than 50 different dogs and enjoyed many repeat visits. Following the local Wagging Tails closure I applied for and gained a 4 star Dog Boarding Licence (L/N 2022 00 297 - Roger's K9 Boarding) and I am First Aid trained and properly insured. All of that should guarantee your peace of mind, but perhaps more importantly my love of dogs and high availability ensure your dog will be pampered, entertained and really enjoy its stay here.

Olive had a lovely time staying with Roger. He was so welcoming and we had every confidence she would be taken care of in a very professional and thoughtful way. This is the first time I have left Olive with anyone other than family but my fears were allayed - Roger kept us fully informed throughout her stay and sent photo updates. I would highly recommend Roger as a first class dog sitter.

This was our first booking with Roger who was very helpful and responsive throughout the process. Our cockapoo Tomos was very comfortable and well looked after. and particularly enjoyed lying in the sun in the garden!

Roger was wonderful with Cooper, who came back chilled and happy after a lovely week. Roger kept us informed with photos and combines kindness with the highest professionalism. Would definitely use again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
