Availability

As a retired person who lives my wife I am usually available all day everyday. Your dog will be walked at least three times a day, either in one of the many parks around us or out in the countryside. If we go out your dog would normally come with me, if that is not possible then your dog would not be left for longer than you feel comfortable.

Pet care experience

I have always had a pet dog and unfortunately I had to say goodbye to my beloved Bella 3 months ago. I do not want to start another journey with a new dog but equally do not want to forgo a dogs company totally, hence dog boarding seems a perfect solution. I have had dogs from puppies, rescues, non-pedigree and pedigree dogs. I have experience of administering medication plus training pups and knowing the needs of senior dogs. I also look after many of the dogs of our family and friends.

This was my first time using Rover and I can only say Roy was fantastic. We have can older dog who've had to leave for a day as we hsd to attend a wedding. We had constant contact and updates which was really reassuring. Would have no problem recommending to any one

Roy was amazing with Willow, she was very happy and settled straight in. We really appreciated all the photos and updates and would highly recommend Roy 😊

Roy was absolutely amazing from the first meet till when we picked up our dogs. He was kind, communicative and sent us photos whilst we were away which made us feel at ease. Thank you Roy for looking after our pups! Highly recommended

Roy was absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Basil (a young Labrador) and Tilly (a senior Golden Retriever). Every aspect of their stay was tailored perfectly to their individual needs, from walks and games through to cuddles and even medication admin. That is no easy feat with one elderly dog and one energetic youngster. Honestly, I don't think our dogs were remotely interested in coming home! We'd love to keep Roy all to ourselves, but that wouldn't be fair to others. Cannot recommend him enough. Thank you Roy, we hope to see you again soon.

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.
