“Jamie has cared for dogs his whole life. We were brought up with Dalmatians, but since then he’s cared for both my dogs a spaniel and golden retriever. We have many dogs in the family of all different characters and sizes. He has a welcoming home for any dog and will make sure they have a happy healthy stay! I would recommend Jamie to others who are looking for someone to really care for their dog.”

“Our girls Ginny and Lexi spent 4 nights with Christy. We were very pleased with the whole experience, the dogs were happy and well cared for. Christys communication was excellent with texts and photos. Would highly recommend. Thank you Christy”


4. Martyna R.

“We recently used Martyna’s boarding service for our elderly dog, Molly, who is both blind and deaf. This was our first time using a service like this, and Martyna’s caring and understanding attitude instantly put us at ease. From our initial communication through the app, she reassured us that Molly would be in safe hands and even expressed her enthusiasm about looking after her while we went on a family trip to London. Molly stayed with Martyna for three nights, and from the moment we arrived at her clean and welcoming home, we knew we’d made the right choice. Despite Molly’s poor eyesight and other challenges, she appeared comfortable exploring her new surroundings. Martyna made us feel reassured and comfortable leaving Molly in her care. Even late at night after we dropped Molly off, Martyna kept us updated with text messages and photos, showing Molly happily settled in her bed. Over the course of the stay, she sent us videos and pictures of Molly being petted and enjoying her company. It was heartwarming to see Molly so content and well cared for. We cannot recommend Martyna highly enough. Her professionalism, kindness, and genuine love for animals made the whole experience seamless and worry-free. We will definitely be using her services again in the future. A huge thank you to Martyna for taking such good care of Molly we look forward to next time!”

“Katie has looked after my German shepherd Stormi many times and she has owned her own dogs over the years. She is very reliable and will always stick to what has been arranged and try her best to make herself available when she can. I trust her 100% with dogs and it helps that she loves them like her own family.”

8. Marta D.
About: I have a little pet care experience, watching over my friends cats Nelson and Dorito for a couple times. My family also had a German shepherd I used to look after. Fury friends always make me smile whenever I see them on the walk, and I dream about the day we’re going to welcome a dog to our home as well. I’m currently taking some time off work, so available most of the time during week and weekends as well, so gladly spend some quality time looking after your loved ones. I don’t have any pets, but your dog is going to be very loved by my family who adore pets as much as I do, if you need an over night stay.

“This was our first time using rover and we booked for our 2 dogs to stay with Hannah. We were a little anxious leaving them as this was all new for us but we had absolutely no need to worry.

14. Katie E.
“Katie is a really friendly, caring and enthusiastic person who has a great love and connection with animals. My mini dachshund absolutely adores her and trusts her completely. He can be an anxious pup, but Katie always immediately puts him at ease and is so calm and patient with him. Katie has both walked, and boarded my dog whilst we've been away and always keeps me updated with messages and photos/videos of him regularly and I know he's in safe hands with her.”


15. Jessica M.
“We always use Jess for our two dogs, for boarding when we’re away and day care and walks most weeks. Our dogs absolutely love her, she looks after them like they’re her own. Jess is super flexible and always makes sure both us and the dogs are comfortable and happy. She always keeps us updated with pics and messages to keep us at ease and we always feel so confident leaving our fur babies with her. We wouldnt hesitate to recommend her to anyone, she’s amazing with the dogs and it’s a relief knowing they’re in such good hands.”

Jade offered me a chance to visit her home first to check my dogs Ruby and Daisy got on with Yura, (jades Husky) Jade was flexible, accommodated and kind, I could see both Ruby and Daisy loved being around her. Which is important to me. I would like to thank Jade and Yura for putting up with fussy Daisy and shy Ruby.”
