“Charlie and Gary stepped in at short notice to do a drop in visit for my two dogs which I really appreciated. They fed them and let them out meaning I didn’t have to worry about rushing home to be there. I would definitely reckoned them to look after your animals.”
“Jenny was fantastic, very kind, professional, and communicative. This was my first time using Rover, and Jenny made the experience faultless. We look forward to using Jenny again :) our cat Marie loved the service too.”
“Kerry went above and beyond during her visits to Hugo and he was extremely well cared for. Hugo had to be left for several hours as was being dropped off early by his original sitter so Kerry did three visits, including walks, to space out his time alone. Hugo was very happy during these visits and enjoyed a play and cuddle and was pleased for the company. Kerry maintained contact throughout and sent some lovely photos of Hugo having fun. All advice regarding his needs and mealtimes was followed and I felt relaxed knowing he was in good hands. Will definitely use Kerry again 😃”
“Stevie was absolutely amazing! So glad that I booked her! My cat can be a bit of a difficult one but she did everything I asked and more and I appreciated everything she did for my cat whilst I was away. I trusted her in my house completely and knew my cat was in safe hands -absolutely wouldn’t hesitate to book her again! Thank you so much for helping look after Strudel!”
About: I grew up with a gorgeous border collie whom I trained to a high level as the breed requires lots of mental stimulation and physical activity. In my previous role I would also dog sit a variety of breeds and loved every second! I currently work hybrid with my partner Sam so one of us is always at home during the week. We enjoy going on walks around the local forests and Essex countryside. I have a spacious garden in a gated community plus lots of local green areas where furry friends can enjoy long walks and nature. There are many dogs in the neighbourhood for them to socialise! There is a lift in my apartment building for older dogs who may be less mobile, it also leads directly to the garden. My apartment is one floor so the pooch would not have to climb stairs or be separated at night, meaning they would have constant company. I have comfy beds, blankets, treats and toys, and welcome their favourites into the home.
“I have had Kate dog sit Ella over the last few weeks and she has been brilliant with Ella. I am always entertained with Ella’s daily report card in regards to what she got up to, leaving me with lots of reassurance that she is in the best hands whilst I’m at work. I would highly recommend Kate!”
About: My partner Scott and I love dogs and have our own Czech Shepherd, who is friendly, well trained and loves to meet other dogs. We have grown up with lots of different dogs and we can look after dogs of any size or age comfortably! I work from home for most of the week and this is flexible so I can often cater for whenever dog care is needed. I can walk any dog we are looking after in the morning and the afternoon so that they can have lots of fun and also some down time in between! I have a large fenced garden so any dogs can run around and play. I have my own dog so I am used to making sure that a dog has everything it needs.
“Many thanks to Jade & Ashley for taking care of my senior cat whilst I was away. I have so much anxiety leaving him for more than a night or 2 (as at 18 years old he is getting on.... & he is also very set in his ways). So leaving him for 4 nights always adds to my worry. However, Jade & Ashley took amazing care of him, sending me daily updates to keep my mind at ease. I really appreciate that and will definitely be using them again in the future. Also, Ludo says thanks for his treat meat sticks, he absolutely loves them.”
About: NEW PET OWNERS GET £15 CREDIT WITH MY ROVER CODE: https://www.rover.com/sit/chenet99079 I’ve had dogs of all shapes and sizes throughout my life and have always been trusted by family and friends to care for their beloved pooches. I’ve also been offering dog care through Rover for the past couple of years, looking after a wide range of breeds, temperaments and personalities — just take a look through my gallery for some of the lovely dogs I’ve had the pleasure of caring for! My partner and I have our own dog, Luna, a 2-year-old Hungarian Vizsla. If you know the breed, you’ll know just how energetic, intelligent and demanding they can be! Having a dog ourselves, we completely understand how important it is to feel confident that your dog is in safe, caring and trustworthy hands while you’re away. We also have plenty of training knowledge thanks to an extensive handover from Platinum K9 in Nottingham, who helped us kick-start Luna’s training when she was a puppy. This means we’re confident in reinforcing positive behaviours and maintaining good routines while your dog is in our care. That said, we’re completely flexible and will always tailor our approach to your dog. If you simply want them to have a loving, relaxed home-from-home experience, we’re more than happy for them to make themselves comfortable on the sofa or even the bed! We have plenty of toys, dog beds and even a crate available if your dog prefers having their own quiet space. Luna is incredibly loving and playful and enjoys her daily adventures and runarounds in the forest. Once we’re back home, the environment is calm, relaxed and cosy — perfect for winding down after a busy day. All you need to bring is your dog’s usual food and any favourite treats, and we’ll take care of the rest. We also make sure owners are kept in the loop throughout the day, with plenty of photos and updates so you can see exactly what your pup is getting up to. Take a look through my gallery for an idea of the photos and updates you can expect! If you have any questions or would like to chat about your dog’s needs, just drop me a message. I’d love to hear from you! 🐾 Very flexible to discuss the care needed. There will always be constant supervision and your dog will not be left alone. We will also keep you up to date throughout the stay Each dog is unique and therefore what we do and how we do it will vary. We thoroughly enjoy a long walk in the forest (on or off lead depending on your comfort levels and your dogs recall) or a stroll around big fields for the dogs to play around. Your dog will be walked as little or as much as you suggest to be suitable for them. We always carry treats and water with us to ensure they are happy on their walk. Our Vizsla will offer plenty of play time and I will offer suitable training in addition to this if preferred. Equally, we love our downtime, so it goes without saying that there will be plenty of cuddles and a relaxed environment in the home. I am happy to follow any specific routines and commands you use with your dog to ensure they are still following as much of their usual routine as possible. I will also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you never feel too far away from your pooch!
“Was a skeptical at first as first time using the app and trusting others to come into my home, however Harry was great. Came over to meet a few days before I was leaving. Very reassuring and looked after my boys and sent pics everyday. Happy with the service will use Harry again! Thanks again!”
“Jay was beyond amazing with our old man Loki. He was kind, gentle and patient with our little man and we couldn’t be more happy with the service he provided! Loki was sleepy and happy when we got home, which means he’s had a great walk. We were sent pictures, and updates. Jay was on time, very polite and sweet and clearly has a real passion for working with dogs! We will be booking in regularly with jay, as Loki seems to love him to bits! Thank you for looking after our boy with such care and love.”
About: Danni Gevaux (he/him) I’ve been walking neighbours dogs for a year now, i always make sure the dog has a fun and brain stimulating walk , usually in the woods where’s there’s most smells. I also take care of my partners dog, a cute fox faced pomeranian and have walked here and looked after her. I’m free any time, very flexible. I do work from home which can always be move around , my main priority is pet care so your pets are always my priority I have 3 cats , Merry, Pipin and Muffin. Merry and pipin are one year and Muffin is an old girl at 15. I play with merry and pipin to give them enough mental stimulation until they’re fed up and like a cuddle. I give Muffin many cuddles and treats.
“Kendall looked after Hugo beautifully today. She took him for a walk then did a drop in visit as we were out all day. She did everything I asked her to do and kept me in the loop. Kendall was caring and attentive and Hugo was very happy to see her. Was very reassuring knowing he was in such good hands 😄😄”
About: I've been looking after dogs for a few years now. I'm attentive to their needs and make sure they're happy, healthy and comfortable with treats and toys on hand. I have experience with nervous dogs who are nervous around people and other dogs so understand what their limits are and when to keep them calm. Dogs are great company and they always have a good time when they come to stay. 😊 I work from home 3 days a week. Also happy to look after dogs at weekends. I'm flexible on times for dogs to come to my home and walks I have plenty of outside space including 2 parks near by for walks and potty. Also a comfy home for them to play and relax. For overnight stays I recommend an intro meeting before hand to make sure the dog feels happy and comfortable with me in my home.
“Debbie looked after my cat, Nino for around 10 days. Debbie won Nino over and played with him and fussed him every day. She provided me with updates and photos frequently. I hate leaving Nino but knowing Debbie was taking such good care of him made it a lot easier. I will definitely book Debbie again. ”
About: I’ve taken care of many pets including dogs, cats, lizards, and fish. I have always been the trusted person within my family and between my friends to look after their pets, as i’m very good with instructions and can be great fun. My energy will always depend on the incredible pet that I look after so that they do not feel overwhelmed or bored at all! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I currently do not have a job or other major commitments. This means I can dedicate my full attention and time to the pets in my care, ensuring they receive plenty of companionship, playtime, exercise, and affection throughout the day. I understand how important consistency and attention are for pets, so I am able to follow their routines closely, whether that involves feeding schedules, walks, medication, or simply spending quality time with them. Because I have a very flexible schedule, I can adapt to your pet’s needs and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. My priority is always the happiness and wellbeing of the animals I look after, and I take pride in providing reliable, attentive care that gives owners complete peace of mind. If a pet is staying in my home, they may also meet my 5-year-old sister. She is very gentle, calm, and loving around animals, and has grown up understanding the importance of treating pets with kindness and respect. She knows that some pets enjoy attention while others need their own space, and she is very good at recognising those boundaries. She loves spending time with friendly pets, whether that means quietly sitting with them, playing gently, or simply keeping them company. However, she always follows instructions and understands that the pet’s comfort comes first. This means visiting pets can enjoy a calm, family-friendly environment with plenty of love and attention if they choose to interact. However, Whether I am caring for pets in my own home or in a pet owner’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medication, grooming, and any other requirements. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship, while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. For cats, this may mean providing a calm environment and gentle interaction, while for dogs it could involve walks, games, and lots of affection. I keep living spaces clean and tidy, ensure fresh water is always available, and monitor pets closely for any changes in behaviour or wellbeing. Since I currently have a flexible schedule, I can dedicate plenty of time to the pets in my care, helping them feel relaxed and secure while their owners are away. My goal is always to treat every pet as if they were my own and give owners complete confidence that their beloved companion is in caring and responsible hands.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since the age of 10, from friends and families pets, to looking after my own for the last 10 years. I have a hybrid work schedule with flexible working hours so I’m frequently available to look after your furry friends during the week and on weekends :) I have a fenced back garden which offers a very safe space for your pawfect friends to run around if they want to, my house is open plan but cosy enough for them to feel safe and secure! We are a house where dogs are part of the family so the default will be that they can join us for a cuddle on the sofa & on the beds unless the tail waggers owners tell us any different!
About: My name is Clarke and I work in professional services but am flexible with WFH and just love having dogs over. It breaks my routine and allows me to enjoy some fun time with animals. i have hosted several dogs over the years and look after friends and families dogs when away too. Ideally i like to only have one dog at a time but if there comes a time i have to try having two at one time, i sure would. You’ll get pics and messages from me while your baby stays with me, sometimes your baby may even message you. 🤭 I adapt very well to dogs with different personalities and quickly build trust. Flexible working from home arrangements on the week and weekends. Really just have to talk to confirm but often free and available most of the I have fenced garden area, front locked fenced area. In the day, Little park in 5 min walk from the house so easy to get to and the little ones love it there.
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I previously owned a dog and currently help care for my family’s cat, including feeding, cleaning, playing and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I also regularly pet sit for my sister, who has two cats and a dog, so I’m confident looking after multiple pets with different personalities and needs. I genuinely love animals and understand how important it is for owners to know their pets are safe, happy and receiving plenty of attention while they’re away. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to fit pet care around my day and provide reliable visits, walks and companionship when needed. I am available during weekdays, evenings and most weekends. Whether your pet needs feeding, playtime, exercise or simply some company while you’re away, I can provide attentive care and regular updates for peace of mind. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in familiar surroundings, so I am particularly happy to care for pets in their own homes where they can maintain their normal routine. I take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs, feeding schedules and preferences, and I always follow owners’ instructions carefully. I am respectful of clients’ homes, prioritise safety at all times and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well looked after while you’re away.

Shay was absolutely amazing with my shy rescue Oscar and was exactly what I was hoping for. I felt comfortable leaving Oscar in her care and didn’t need to worry at all. She was so genuinely caring and thoughtful & it was obvious how much she loves cats. Shay also went out of her way to make sure everything was tidy and clean upon our return. I received daily updates and knew that Oscar was receiving lots of love whilst I was away.I honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better, and I’d 100% recommend Shay to anyone looking for a kind & reliable cat sitter!
Highly recommend Stevie, accepted my very last minute booking and came to meet us shortly after for the key handover. She went above and beyond for us even taking out the bins we’d forgot to do before leaving (🤦♀️) which she didn’t have to offer but she did. She kept me updated every visit and we’ve come back to a happy fed cat 🤍 we were a bit worried about using a stranger at first but Stevie has done so well that we would 100% use her again when we need to. Thanks so much xxx
Great to have Jo come and look after my furry friends again, as expected she did an amazing job and went over and above to make sure they were treated like the special felines they are! Would recommend Jo as a catsitter to anyone - she’s been a godsend and well definitely have her come and look after them again!
We had such a great experience with Georgina looking after our animals, even our three month old puppy! She kept in regular contact and gave us plenty of updates, which really put my mind at ease. I’m always a little nervous leaving such a young puppy as they can definitely be a handful, but nothing seemed too much for Georgina and I felt really reassured knowing they were in good hands. We even had an unexpected issue with one of our frog tank water sprayers while we were away, and Georgina was more than happy to help sort it out for us, which we really appreciated! Reliable, caring and clearly comfortable looking after a house full of different animals. We would absolutely recommend Georgina and wouldn’t hesitate to have her look after our little zoo again! ❤️
Vicky did a fantastic job taking care of my 3 cats. All of them have very different characters and needs, some are very shy to strangers and yet somehow they all loved Vicky from the first visit. They came to socialise with her every time she came to feed them. I’ve received photos during every visit which put me at ease while away. I came back to very happy and relaxed cats. I would definitely recommend Vicky as she takes care of your cats with love as they would be her own!
Naomi was wonderful. It was the first time we have left our jumpy rescue cat since we have had her. Naomi’s calmness, patience and perseverance with her meant Mia was relaxed enough to play and have some cuddles. The updates and pictures meant we could relax whilst on holiday happy that Mia was being truly looked after.
I needed to be in London all day, Charlotte was wonderful with my two Yorkies & gave them all the love & care they needed while I was out. Fully trustworthy & reassuring to know everything was taken care of & my dogs were happy 🐶🐶 Would definitely recommend Charlotte & her services.
I’m so happy that we found Kate! She’s super reliable and has been really flexible with our drop ins, and really lovely and playful with our pup. She always sends us lovely detailed updates from their walks which gives us such peace of mind. Absolutely recommend!
Jay was beyond amazing with our old man Loki. He was kind, gentle and patient with our little man and we couldn’t be more happy with the service he provided! Loki was sleepy and happy when we got home, which means he’s had a great walk. We were sent pictures, and updates. Jay was on time, very polite and sweet and clearly has a real passion for working with dogs! We will be booking in regularly with jay, as Loki seems to love him to bits! Thank you for looking after our boy with such care and love.
Raluca has been great over the past few weeks she has been dropping in on my 2 pugs whilst I am at work! She has really helped me feel at ease leaving them for longer periods of time for the first time and has been so accommodating with their needs and with any changes we have had. Raluca is super reliable and my 2 girls love when she drops in, would highly recommend!
Kendall looked after Hugo beautifully today. She took him for a walk then did a drop in visit as we were out all day. She did everything I asked her to do and kept me in the loop. Kendall was caring and attentive and Hugo was very happy to see her. Was very reassuring knowing he was in such good hands 😄😄
I was very pleased with Rachel, so helpful and she got on great with our 2 very lively dogs. I was able to enjoy a long day out knowing that the dogs had someone coming in to let them out and give them some fun and a cuddle, I could see from the photos they had a great time. I would definitely book Rachel again, thank you.
Jane is incredible and I would highly recommend! This was the first time leaving our cat with a sitter and Jane made us very feel comfortable. She bonded with our cat quickly through lots of fuss and attention with regular updates throughout. I will definitely be using Jane again in the future.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Brentwood choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
