Pet care experience

My wife and I have regularly looked after dogs for family and friends. We love looking after doggies and ended up having many referrals so we decided to set up a rover account too! We are a family of five: myself, my wife, our two young daughters and our lovely lab retriever - Leo. We live in Shirley Birmingham and are happy to receive requests for dogs for short term and longer term boarding. We have had many dogs with different temperaments and are happy to have multiple meets to acclimatise a more anxious dog if needed. It is essential though any dog we board is comfortable around children as we have two little ones!

Sam and his family are the perfect sitters, lovely big garden and lots of cuddles for the dogs. Our two can't wait to go on holiday again. Thank you :-)

We had our 1 year old Springer Spaniel staying with Sam and Sarah on two occasions and we had a fabulous experience with them. Our Springer is on the nervous/ anxious side and takes a while to get accustomed to new people/ dogs. Sam and Sarah spared a lot of their time prior to the actual stay for our dog to get accustomed to the surroundings, people and their dog. We were extremely grateful for that and it made our holiday that bit more enjoyable when you're not constantly worried about your furry child. And though initially our Springer was somewhat scared (it was the first time she stayed somewhere else without us) she and Leo (Labrador) became good friends and there was plenty of friendly chasing. We also has lots of updates on her stay with them. I had the impression that Sam and Sarah are pretty confident with dogs and have offered a very warm and cosy stay for our dog (family feel). I think our Springer was massively spoiled with cuddles, but then again she is just past 1 year old and who can resist. We absolutely recommend Sam and Sarah and we will definitely be back.

My wilf is always really happy to see Sam when he stays with him. He's looked after him many times and it's really nice to get pics and videos giving updates of wilf having a whale of a time at the park or playing ball in the park when I'm away. Sam definitely takes the stress out of getting Wilf looked after and I know I can always rely on him to keep him happy and safe. Five stars from me, thanks Sam!

I had a fantastic experience with Sam when I needed someone to look after my dog Roxy at the last minute. Sam was not only incredibly accommodating but also very kind and helpful throughout the entire process. I was thoroughly impressed with how well Roxy was cared for. Additionally, Sam's property is located in a lovely area, and their home is just as wonderful. I would highly recommend Sam to any pet owner who needs a reliable and caring sitter.
