Heather has been a wonderful sitter for Dotty, keeping us updated and sending us photos of Dotty on a regular basis to put our mind at rest. Knowing that Dotty was being treated and looked after really well ment we could relax more on holiday. Highly recommend, thank you Heather

Lisa was absolutely brilliant with our border terrier, Dilly. Dilly and I met up with Lisa for a 'get to know you' walk and it was clear that Dilly was in really safe hands. Lisa kept us updated with photos of Dilly whilst we were away which really allowed us to relax, knowing someone was making as much fuss of our little girl as we would be. Can't recommend enough. Thanks again Lisa!!

About: I'm absolutely besotted with dogs, with my family often referring to me as the dog whisperer! I'm always up for a cuddle, a long walk and go the extra mile to ensure pooches under my care are wagging their tails all day long! I'm a tutor and so my schedule is very flexible. School holidays are also a great time for me to spend extra time with pets! I have a small and secured fenced garden and respectful neighbours. Pets can sleep where most comfortable and happy to crate if they are happiest there.

About: I have a 4.5-year-old miniature long-haired Dachshund, so I understand first-hand how important it is to have someone trustworthy and caring looking after your pet. I’ve loved dogs and cats from a young age and have always been surrounded by animals throughout my life. I’m a big animal lover and a strong advocate for animal welfare, and I treat every pet as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for at all times. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine as I work from home in a corporate role. This gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day, so I’m able to accommodate drop-in visits, walks, and feeding schedules with ease. I can step away from my desk as needed to make sure pets are checked on, cared for, and given attention at consistent times. Because I’m home most of the day, I’m also able to provide a reassuring level of presence and reliability, rather than being tied to fixed office hours. I’m well organised with my workload, which allows me to plan visits around my schedule and be responsive to each pet’s needs. I also offer dog boarding services in my own home at your request. I provide a safe, comfortable, and caring environment for pets in my home. I have a large fenced garden with plenty of space for dogs to play, run around, and enjoy outdoor time safely. At home, I have one friendly miniature long-haired Dachshund who is very sociable and loving, and can provide company for visiting pets if suitable. However, I’m also happy to keep pets separated if preferred or if they need their own space to feel comfortable. I have a crate available if requested, along with extra dog beds, toys, bowls, and treats to make sure visiting pets feel settled and cared for. My priority is always to make each pet feel safe, relaxed, and at home, while following their usual routine as closely as possible.

Jane is a wonderful dog sitter. My dog, Cider, had the best time staying with her and was spoilt rotten with love, attention and lots of lovely walks. She sent lots of updates and really put my mind at ease that Cider was enjoying his own little holiday. Thanks so much Jane, couldn't recommend you enough!

About: Hi, My name is Laura. I'm an animal lover and I've always had pets ever since I was little. I've had rescued dogs, birds, turtles, hamsters, rabbits and I currently have 2 cats, 2 guinea pigs, a puppy and tropical fish. I provide home visits and I will make sure your pet is my number 1 priority and will treat them like I treat my own. I'm able to feed them, brush them, play with them and send you daily pictures and updates for your peace of mind. I can also water your plants if needed. I also provide a home boarding for small animals such as guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, etc. Lastly, I offer dog walking in Brantree. I live near a big park (Blackwater) so it's ideal for walks or I can walk around your area too. I have worked in an animal rescue in Spain, walking, feeding dogs and cleaning their enclosures and I have also fostered cats and dogs. I've also looked after my friends' pets while they are away, so I have lots of experience. I'm a full time mum of a 7 and a nearly 2 year old who adore animals. I'm at home most of the time. Please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you, Laura I am a full time mum so I have plenty of time to look after your furry friend. When I do home visits I can feed other animals too and watter your plants, bring in your mail, etc. I live in a spacious 4 bedroom house with a very big fenced and secure garden. I live close to a very nice and big park so it's ideal for doggy walks.

Jane had Ollie for the weekend for me and he was treated as one of the family, went on some great walks, had a lovely time and would have happily stayed with her forever I'm sure! He will definitely be back to stay again in the future. My first Rover experience and Ollie hasn't stayed away from me much at all in the last few years so I was a little nervous, but as soon as I met her I felt that Ollie was in capable and caring hands with Jane. Communication was great and it was really nice to receive photos of Ollie's adcentures. Thank you so much Jane 💓

The first couple of days, Sonny was a bit unsettled, but I felt confident that Olivita would help him settle in—especially with her lovely dog, Mikey, there to keep him company. I really appreciated receiving photos showing Sonny getting cuddles from the humans and happily playing with Mikey. It was also incredibly thoughtful of Olivita to sleep downstairs with him when he was howling, which showed real care and understanding. When we picked him up, Sonny was super excited to see us, which reassured me that he’d had a fun and loving stay. I’d be more than happy to leave Sonny with Olivita again.

Our dog Tigger stayed with Jorja for just over 2 weeks. We couldn't have asked for more from Jorja and the family, they went above and beyond for Tigger. He looked at home straight away and nothing was too much trouble. Regular cute photos and videos too. I don't think he wanted to leave! We will definitely bring Tigger back, with his lovely new pumpkin toy that was bought for him too! Thank you for everything!
