1. Anne B.

“I can’t thank Anne (and her husband Chris) enough for the devoted care they gave Bertie whilst I was on holiday. They looked after him so well, even administering medication where needed. I especially felt reassured by the great pictures they sent of Bertie enjoying his walks and resting afterwards! I certainly felt quite relaxed about Bertie being in a safe pair of hands. Thank you so much. Liz”


2. Sam N.

“Sam was so helpful from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she made our Cockapoo extremely welcome. She had to get up in the night for him - which she didn't even tell us - we just saw the next morning from the tracker that she must have had a disturbed night. We can't recommend Sam highly enough!”


3. Lisa J.

“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!!”


4. Ella B.

“Ella filled me in on how Henry was doing at his first day with her. Photos also helped ease my mind and he was perfectly happy when I went to collect him at the end of the day. Thank you Ella.”


5. Helena B.

“Such a great experience! Hannah was really responsive, communication was easy and Margot was so well cared for. Margot knew she was in a great place and settled so quickly and Hannah kept us updated with lots of pictures which was lovely. Margot can’t wait for another sleepover with her new doggie friend, Fudge :) xx”


6. Jorja C.

“Cannot recommend these guys enough Such lovely genuine people and our dog was even sad to leave them when we returned from holiday. Our dog (paxton) also has a pre existing ear condition and we forgot to pack his ear drops, after a day or so Jorga noticed our dogs wars looked a bit sore and she went to the vets for us to pick up paxtons ear medication. Thank you soo much and will be using you again in the future. I know Paxton will be exited to see you again ☺️”


7. Ellen F.
“Fantastic pet caregiver, has dog sat for us on a number of occasions whilst we have gone on holiday in this country and abroad. Our dog absolutely loves Ellie and always excitedly greets her when she arrives, our dog is always well cared for including plenty of walks and cuddles! Would highly recommend and we will continue using Ellie as both us and our dog love her, she does such an excellent job!”


8. Anna W.

“Anna is a very lovely lady who clearly loves her dogs. Rufus was worn out after 3 days at her house from all the simulation of a doggy household.. Anna is easygoing & lets the dogs feel at home. She sent pictures & stayed in touch when I messaged to see how he was doing (first time away for him from family in years) I would use her again for sure.”


9. Carla R.

“Carla is amazing, she had both my dogs blu and Albert for 3 days whilst i had my wedding, this was pretty short notice to. They both loved staying with her and was so tired from all the playing they did when we picked them up 😄 She updated myself with how they was which was very reassuring because I have never left them anywhere before, they had plenty of walks and we're loved and cared for as if they were her own, I will deffo be using Carla again for my fur babies xxx”

18. Shannon D.
“Shannon offered to help walk my dogs when I was unable to and I couldn’t praise her enough. My dogs were always so excited to see her which reassured me that they enjoyed going out with her on a walk. She cared for them as if they were her own.”


19. Charlotte W.

“I had a last-minute trip abroad and found myself in a bit of a panic about what to do with my 3-month-old Cockapoo, Barry. I started looking into local kennels, but I quickly realized they weren’t the kind of place I wanted for my little guy—cold concrete floors and steel cages, with extra fees for a few minutes of play or attention. That wasn’t the environment I felt comfortable leaving Barry in, so I began searching for a better option. That’s when I found Rover and, more importantly, Charlotte! After messaging her about availability, we arranged to meet, and I couldn’t have been happier. Charlotte was so friendly and bubbly, instantly putting me at ease. She asked all the right questions about Barry—his training, his care needs—and told me about her own experience with dogs. I left feeling completely confident that Barry would be in safe, caring hands. During his stay, Barry not only bonded with Charlotte but also made friends with her Mum, and her dog Luna, who Charlotte had told me about and I agreed to them meeting (and hopefully getting along for play!). They had a blast together—forest walks, playtime, and even a seaside adventure where Barry got to dash around the sand and splash in the waves. Charlotte kept me updated with sweet texts and tons of adorable photos, showing Barry living his best life. Now that Barry has a new buddy in Luna, we’re even planning some future walks together, which I know will be fantastic for Barry and help him stay comfortable with Charlotte for future stays. A huge thank you to Charlotte (and Luna!) for taking such great care of my little buddy. I couldn’t be more grateful!”


20. Eleanor M.
“I hired Ellie for a year to look after my two Shih Tzu puppies and I would recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter and dog walker! She always bathed them if they were mucky from the walking, and left no trace. She always left the house spotless!”
