Paige was very easygoing and friendly I felt able to talk to her about my worries leaving Barney alone. Barney was relaxed when I came home and had enjoyed his morning.

Cannot recommend Chanice enough!! She was amazing!! It was our first time leaving our dachshund Layla with somebody not that was not our family and we were really anxious. Chanice was so accommodating to us and completely made us feel at ease from our first communication. She was brilliant with Layla and we were immediately at ease on our holiday. She sent us constant updates which was so great! Thank you Chanice!!

Natalie & her partner, Sarah, stepped in to care for Beau last minute when another Rover sitter fell through. Between the 2 of them, they cared for Beau in our home, leaving him only for short periods. We got plenty of updates, and we came home to a happy dog & a spotless home. We couldn’t have asked for more. Beau highly recommends them to any clingy doggo in need 🥰❤️

Caitlin looked after our 10 year old West Highland terrier for 2 weeks. She was fantastic I think she looked after Dylan better than we do he misses her. Dylan is a diabetic Caitlin gave him his twice daily insulin injections and walked him morning and night. She sent us photos and daily updates. We came home to a happy dog and a clean house. I would highly recommend her to anyone

About: I’ve been helping my neighbours and friends take care of their dogs and cats, and I also have hands-on experience caring for cats and bunnies. I’m patient, gentle, and genuinely enjoy spending time with all kinds of animals — I don’t mind looking after other types of pets either! Whether it’s feeding, walking, or giving them some extra affection, I always make sure they feel safe and happy. I currently work part-time, so I just need at least one day’s notice to arrange my schedule. Once confirmed, I’ll make sure to give your pet my full attention and care during the booked time. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, making sure pets are fed and have fresh water as provided. I love spending time playing with them, giving cuddles, and making sure they feel comfortable and happy. If they enjoy going out, I can also take them for up to an hour of walking and outdoor playtime.

About: I grew up on a farm in the countryside, so I’ve been around animals my whole life and am very comfortable caring for pets of all kinds ❤️ Through my experience on Rover, I’ve looked after both dogs and cats with a range of needs, and I always make sure each pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I work from home most days, so your pet will have company, supervision, and care throughout the day. I’m also available mornings, evenings, and weekends, with a flexible schedule to fit around your pet’s routine 😊 I provide safe and loving care for pets, either in their own home or on walks around the neighborhood. Being home most days means your pet will always have supervision, attention, and companionship. I also have a secure, fully fenced outdoor patio for safe potty breaks and fresh air time, so every pet is happy, safe, and comfortable. 🐾

Carly stepped in last minute when our previous sitter cancelled. She was very friendly and had great with communication. Most importantly, Carly did really well with our Boxer puppy, who is full of beans! Carly stayed with Maddy all day to keep her company while we were away and Maddy had so much fun! I would highly recommend and we hope to have Carly back in the future. 😀

About: I’m a reliable and caring dog sitter with a genuine love for animals and hands-on experience looking after dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding routines, playtime or overnight care, I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their owner is away. I understand how important it is to maintain consistency, so I follow each dog’s routine closely and provide plenty of attention and affection. With a strong sense of responsibility and a passion for animal wellbeing, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I work part-time so can provide daytime care 5 days per week. If your pet can be left alone during the day, I can provide sleepovers whenever needed. I look after pets in their own homes to maintain their comfort and routines. This adds a layer of safety by having someone occupy your house while you are away. I am extremely clean and tidy so you will always be returning to a well looked after house as well!

Our Teddy absolutely loved Sharon! It’s not often he will take to strangers as he’s a particularly shy and nervous pup. Sharon was fantastic, very professional and has a clear love of animals, she even researched the breed before meeting him! She sent us plenty of updates and pictures of his antics. Will definitely be booking with Sharon again any time we need a doggo sitter!

About: My childhood was always surrounded by these four-legged angels, I'm used to feeding them, playing with them, bathing and trying some tricks. I've always had a strong connection with dogs, love to have them around. Can’t wait to meet your fluffy friend!! I am not working at the moment, so my schedule is free for daily walks and day care, overnight care and a lot of fun for your little friend. I normally prefer to take care of your pet in your residence for its safety and convenience. I always try to make sure that the environment is safe, I like to have a conversation with the host about limits where the pet can or cannot access, what is the pets routine, walking and feeding time. The pets routine is important , for as little stress as possible.

About: While I am new to Rover and professional dog sitting experience, I have lots of hands on experience caring for dogs through both my own doggie - Roo (Jackahuahua) - and looking after dogs and cats for the families I babysit for. I often have responsibility and primary care of Roo whenever my parents go away on holiday, we love to go on long walks through forests and beaches (especially the places where it’s quiet and she can run free!) I always make sure Roo is fed, watered and comfortable to ensure all those good doggie cuddles, and to make sure she’s well looked after too, of course! Through years of babysitting experience, I have had to take care of both children and pets in the families’ homes. This can be tough, but very rewarding as I learned how important patience, attentiveness and staying organised in a busy environment like these can be. I am confident handling different routines, learning the needs of different pets and making sure pets always feel safe, calm and comfortable in my care Pet care fits well into my routine, especially on weekends when I am fully available for dog sitting, longer walks and giving your pet plenty of attention. During the week I work Mon-Fri 9-5 but would definitely be available during the evenings for evening walks or drop-in visits depending on location (especially with the brighter weather coming our way!). I always make sure any pets in my care gets my full attention, time and consistency When caring for pets, I always focus on making them feel as comfortable and safe as possible by sticking closely to their usual routine. I try and figure out their personalities and work with them instead of trying to get them to act a certain way, if they want space, they’ll get space but if they need attention they’ll get my attention. The pet’s needs are my biggest priority. In a pet owner’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully, including feeding, walks and any specific needs. In my own home, I provide a clean, safe and calm environment where pets can relax, play and feel at home. I make sure that pets get plenty of attention, exercise and companionship and I’m always attentive to behaviour and wellbeing. I am also very happy to provide regular updates and photos, so owners feel reassured when they’re away

Dash enjoyed his stay with Caitlin very much! I appreciated the regular photos and regular updates we received. Dash often is pretty nervous around new people so I wasn’t sure he’d be willing to walk with her, but she was able to get him relaxed enough to trust her and take some walks. Thanks, Caitlin!

Natalie and Sarah recently took care of our Labrador, Sierra for a couple of days. They were super communicative before and during the booking, took good care of the house, and sent lots of pictures, which was great. Most importantly, our dog was very comfortable and happy with them, from the very first meet and greet. They even took her to the beach one day, which she loved. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sarah and Natalie and will definitely book with them again!

Caitlin has dog sat for me at least 8 times (including before she was on Rover). My dog absolutely loves her and is always very well looked after. Caitlin does his training exercises with him, walks him, feeds him and keeps him well entertained. My dog is always super excited to see her which makes leaving him very easy. Caitlin always sends updates of what they are getting up to throughout the day and there has never been any issues. Caitlin dog sits at my house and has always looked after the place very well. I would recommend Caitlin to anyone/ any dog!
