“Koren is a lovely, polite, trustworthy person. It’s the first time I’ve left my dog with someone I didn’t know but koren really put my mind at ease by sending me daily updates and picture of my dog happy and content. I couldn't ask for a better person to look after him and can’t thank her enough. I would definitely use Koren over and over again without a doubt and I wouldn’t have to worry.”


“This was the first time that we have used Lou and I have been really, really happy with the service! Both pups happy and calm when we returned home. Great communication, great attention to detail and just overall a brilliant dog sitter! Thank you ☺️”


“Florence was calm and relaxed even when I was firing lots of instructions at her. While I was away she sent messages and photos which was very reassuring. I hope to have her look after my family again soon.”


“Saddique came to meet Kai in advance of the daycare we had booked. He was calm and patient with Kai - who is not good with new people. Within a short space of time Kai clearly trusted him. Today Saddique has spent the day with Kai, taking him on several walks and playing with him. When I got home Kai was calm and happy which tells me that Saddique did a great job with him. Saddique was polite (even when Kai was making that difficult), listened to what we needed for Kai and was completely reliable. I would book Saddique again and would highly recommend him. Thank you Saddique from me and Kai.”


“Adam was fantastic with my staffie. Its the 1st time i have ever left her and the 1st time ive booked someone off this app. I had regular updates and was anxious about leaving staffie but adam relieved this anxiety with the very happy staffie pictures and videos he sent me. Adam is higly recommended from my view and he went above and beyond. He stayed at my house with staffie and staffie was very comfortable and content with him.”


“Saffron has been an absolute life saver… she cared for my 4 pups whilst I got married… she was so knowledgeable about my dogs and their specific issues… as I own 2 rescued dogs, one imported/nervous and one disabled pup who has three legs… she catered to every problem with such care and detail… I have never in my 6 years of owning a dog had to use a sitter as they normally stay with family but I’m extremely grateful saffron was the one to care for my pups… she looked after them as if they were her own and kept me updated throughout the day on how they were… I couldn’t of wished for anyone better to look after them, I will definitely be needing saffrons help again in the future and recommend her to friends and family… thank you so much saffron!! 🥰xxx”


“Jess did a fabulous job of looking after Luna and the house whilst we had a week's holiday. I would highly recommend her as a trustworthy, reliable dog sitter with good knowledge of dog care. We will definitely ask her again next time we need a sitter!”


About: I grew up with four dogs and now care for two of my own, both of whom I’ve trained using professional techniques. I’m experienced with puppies, juvenile and adult dogs, and can confidently handle reactive behaviour, offering calm, skilled care tailored to each pet’s needs. I work a hybrid schedule Monday to Friday, with three days from home and weekends fully free. This gives me plenty of flexibility to fit in regular walks, drop-ins, and overnight care throughout the week. I provide a safe, secure environment with a fully fenced garden and tailor care to each dog’s needs—whether that’s food, water, playtime, walks, training, or simply company. I focus on building trust and ensuring pets feel comfortable, happy, and well looked after in my home or theirs.

“Melissa did a housesit for us and our German Shepherd and three cats. She was very responsive, sent regular updates, and all the animals immediately took to her. We had never had a house sitter before, but Melissa put us at ease and we came home to a very relaxed house. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter and will happily have her back in the future.”


About: Hi, I have many experiences looking after pets. I have been on Rover for a couple of months and have been enjoying my time on here. In my spare time I am busy tending to the garden, drying herbs, watching the apples, making jams and crafting. All of my clients will get a free cat magnet at the end of the stay. I am usually at home unless I have to nip out for a short time. I have a conservatory and a living room that are both very cat friendly. I think where I decide to place the cats does depend on their personality. Most of the time, it does take a while for the cat to adjust to the new environment.

About: I have been cat sitting now for over 2 years and i currently volunteer at a Cat rescue (Bradford Cat Watch Rescue & Sanctuary) where i have been working for 12 years. I have experience working with poorly cats, cats with special needs and cats & kittens of all ages. I also foster for the rescue so have a range of experience in looking after different cats with different personalities. I also have a National diploma in Animal management which i got at Craven College. I have grown up with cats all my life and currently have 5 cats of my own, all of which are rescues, Minx, Missy, Ninja, Cagney and Rascal. They range in ages from 3 to 14. I work at the cat rescue 3 days a week. I'm available in the mornings and late afternoons to visit your pets and spend some time with them or i can do overnight stays. I will look after your pet in your home and follow the routine and any instructions you give me on how your pet needs to be looked after.

“We booked Leah for a week to take care of our two girls, Darby and Bridget at our home in Harrogate. We had her come over for a meet and greet and she was lovely and respectful to us and our home. Leah was very sweet and attentive with the girls. She walked them twice a day and followed there daily routine. She sent us daily updates and pictures and videos of her snuggling and kissing them. We highly recommend Leah she was wonderful and are in the process of rebooking her!!”


“It was our first time ever using the app and what can I say. Hollie was amazing, we felt so comfortable leaving our boy Goose with her for the weekend. He has been very well cared for and Hollie was a delight to talk to with a wonderful bubbly character. We will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend Sarah xx”


About: I have over 5 years of experience working at a busy dog boarding kennels, where I looked after dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities - including nervous pups, playful puppies, and sweet seniors. I also have a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management and a Bachelor’s degree in Bio-Veterinary Science, so I understand a lot about animal health and behaviour.

Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I work remotely, which means I’m home most of the day and always around for cuddles, company, and keeping an eye on things. I can easily take dogs out for walks during my lunch break and again after work, and I’m flexible enough to adapt to your pet’s usual schedule. Whether it’s a mid-morning play session, food at a certain time, or just being present to keep your pet calm and happy—I’m here for it. I provide loving, attentive care by following your pet’s routine - feeding, walking (on lead or off lead if requested), playtime, and medication if needed - while keeping your home clean, safe, and comfortable for a stress-free stay.

Samn A.
“Samn has cared for my 7 dogs and 2 cats for the past 6 years ! It’s very time consuming and a great commitment to look after 7 dogs and Samn does this amazingly ! Not only does she follow the instructions I leave for her perfectly but each dog I have has there own personal care and needs and Samn makes sure every one of their needs is reached . Whenever I go on holiday I make sure Samn stays at my house to care for my pets as she is incredible with them . Not all my dogs get along with one another and Samn deals with this superbly by rotating their play time and food time I highly recommend Samn to care for your pets as she has done a fantastic job with mine”

Amy B.
“Hi Amy Baynes is my daughter. Obviously I have plenty of positive things to say about her. For your purpose I will share reasons for her to look after dogs. She lives in her own property in a nice area. Her back garden is secure. There are some good walks in the area. She works from home for the most part. For the past year she has been dog sharing our dog overnight about three times a week. He is well looked after. She loves the dog and spends a lot of time being affectionate towards him. She is more than capable of caring for other pets. I hope this helps. Kevin”
