“Our cockapoo Ted has the best time staying with Anke and her family. He was so very well looked after and was happy and healthy. Anke shared lots of videos of Ted on walks and playing with other dogs. I will use Anke again and would t want my dog to stay with anyone else. 100% recommend Anke and her family. Thank you so very much xx”
“Thank you to Ronnie and his lovely family for taking wonderful care of our dog Dave. They loved him like he was their own and I couldn’t be happier with the care they gave him. Ronnie kept me informed with pictures and messages which I really appreciated. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. I will definitely be using their services again and again.”
“I can’t recommend Andrea enough! She took such great care of my dog during his overnight stay, and he seemed so happy and comfortable with her. Andrea kept us updated the entire time with pictures and videos, which really put us at ease. It was clear he was in great hands, and we’ll absolutely be using her again.”
“Siobhan was perfect! She had my dog for a whole weekend and was amazing with her and so helpful with every little request and sent regular updates. Will definitely book Siobhan again :)”
“Another happy sleepover for our Boy Byron. Who loves staying with Owen and Renata and their Dog Pepsi (and any of the other dogs that might also be staying over too) He loves the time spent there socialising with other dogs and receiving such love and care from Owen and Renata. He is always so happy with them, it makes us feel calm knowing he is in such great hands. 5 star couple 5 star dog sitting service.”
“I can't recommend Jeanett highly enough! She was absolutely amazing with my dog, Lucy. From the moment we met, I could tell she had a genuine love for animals and a professional approach to pet care. Every day, she provided me with detailed updates on how Lucy was doing, including pictures and videos, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. Lucy was happy, well-exercised, and clearly very well taken care of. If you're looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter, Jeanett is the best choice.”
“George took excellent care of my dog, taking her on walks and keeping her great company. He provided regular updates, which reassured me. I recommend him and his partner to everyone.”
“Thank you so much for everything you do Fernando! Meeting you and your dogs was very professional, I loved our communication throughout Syd stays, your house is great and we will love to ask for your services for our next time! The review from Syd is 10/10!!”
“Natalia helped me out at short notice and was super flexible. I got lots of communication and updates which put my mind at rest. Blaine had a great time and I'd love to use Natalia again in the future. Thank you!”
“Heather was an amazing support. I know Ivy was in safe hands and she came back tired which means she was busy, had lots of fun and made a fuss of. Heather was easy to communicate with which makes the whole progress so easy. Thank you!”
About: Took care of family lab for 3 years, walking him 3 times a day in the local park. Occasionally house sit family and friends who have cats and dogs. I’m a PhD student living with my partner in our late 20s, currently working from home. Available during weekdays and weekends. We are able to take them on walks at least 2 times a day, and feed them according to their needs. Have access to a park 30 seconds away and 2 minutes away from the riverside. Currently do not have pets of our own but love taking care of our family dogs and cats.
“Marcela was extremely great with my dog, I did not panic once, she checked in each night and sent pictures which I really appreciated, will definitely be booking with Marcela again”
“We left Didy with Weronika for two nights and she was absolutely fantastic at taking care of Didy. She brought Didy to parks and also they attended a dog birthday party together :)”
“I’m very happy with Tuan’s service. I received regular updates, which gave me peace of mind, and they went above and beyond to ensure Nala was comfortable. I’ll definitely use their service again in the future!”
“Lizzy and her partner Bobby were great with my dog, Ed! They were super easy to contact and sent photo updates of Ed having a wonderful time:) he was well looked-after, taken on some lovely walks and was made to feel really comfortable at their place! Thanks so much- would really recommend”
Barking dog owners share their Rover experiences
I cannot recommend Jimmy highly enough! Leaving your beloved pet behind while you're on holiday is never easy, but from the moment we dropped our dog off, we knew they were in the best possible hands. Throughout our vacation, we received regular updates, messages, and plenty of photos, which gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our trip. What impressed us most was the genuine love, care, and attention our dog received. It was clear that they weren't just being looked after—they were being completely pampered and treated like part of the family. Every picture showed a happy, relaxed, and content dog enjoying walks, playtime, cuddles, and all the attention they could wish for. The communication was exceptional, with timely updates that reassured us every step of the way. It was obvious that Jimmy genuinely cares about the wellbeing and happiness of every pet he looks after. In fact, I think our dog may have enjoyed their holiday more than we did! Since returning home, they've genuinely seemed to miss all the attention, affection, and fun they had during their stay. Thank you Jimmy for taking such wonderful care of our furry family member. We wouldn't hesitate to book again and would wholeheartedly recommend your services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog boarder.
Andrea was brilliant and so lovely and caring with Crumble. He is definitely missing all the attention. Thank you for keeping him cool in the heatwave, and for sending us regular updates whilst we went away on holiday. This was the first time leaving him with a sitter and he loved it! We will he using Andrea again for sure!
We had a fantastic experience with Madalina caring for our 5-month-old puppy. She was incredibly responsive, keeping us updated with frequent pictures and even a video call, which helped keep both us and our puppy calm. Our little one felt comfortable and happy in her care, enjoying exploring her flat and the nearby areas. She ensured regular park visits that kept our puppy engaged, active, and joyful. We truly appreciated her attention, care, and professionalism, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter.
Reuben stayed with Sarah and Liv for a weekend and had the best time. He was really settled there (which we could tell from the photo updates). They were very attentive with him, and enjoyed park and pub times together, also with their lovely dog Saffy. We would definitely recommend and be rebooking in the future
She took great care of Choco and kept me updated throughout his stay. She was very attentive with him and clearly cared about him a lot and genuinely wanted to help him using her dog training experience. Choco can be quite a sensitive and reactive dog outdoors and does best with very calm, low-stimulation walks and lots of decompression, so he can be a bit different from a more typical dog in that sense. Overall, she was very patient with him and it was clear she genuinely wanted to help 😊
Nimmi was absolutely wonderful - so helpful and honest. Our puppy can be a real handful at times and we knew that, so are generally quite worried when leaving him with others. She was flexible and accommodating, really took the time to get to know Worf and make sure he was comfortable.
Sarah was great with Nala. She kept me updated, sent really nice photos, and Nala looked very happy with her. Nala’s season actually started the day she arrived, which made things a bit more difficult than expected, but Sarah handled it really well and was very accommodating throughout. Really nice person, easy to communicate with, and I’d definitely leave Nala with her again.
Joel and Yesha took excellent care of our old girl! They gave her lots of love and let her wander the park to her heart's content while ensuring she was kept safe. They also always had lovely photos and vids to share with us, and answered all our questions and excessive worrying very calmly. I highly recommend leaving your dog with them, and I'm sure I'll do it again next time we're travelling!
Catia and her partner took absolutely fantastic care of my Otto. As dog owners themselves, they knew exactly my dog's personality and breed and I felt absolutely happy and at ease with them. They kept me informed throughout my trip and I would 100000/10 leave Otto with them again (if they want to!)
We needed a dog sitter who we could feel confident in as we were going away for a month. We certainly found that and more with Maria and her family. It has been like home from home for Pippa - Maria’s regular photos and updates showed us just how settled she was and I wasn’t at all worried while we were away. They treated her as if she was their own dog - and looked after her so well. I certainly know where to go if we need reliable care for Pippa in the future and I recommend Maria wholeheartedly. Thank you for everything Maria and family 😀
