About: I'm a doggy owner myself and work from home. Available all week and love the company of doggies as would my morkie who likes to laze in the sun in the garden. I work 30 hours per week, 6 per day but I'm a homeworker and never go to the office as its down south. I love doggies and happy to look after a small one along side mine whilst I'm at home all week. I have a secure garden and the back door is constantly open for my fur baby that likes to go in and out all day to bark at squirrels

“Absolutely fantastic I think Winnie was sad to come home after her stay! Regular communication was made throughout the stay which really put my mind at ease we would use Dylan and his partner again without hesitation. Winnie clearly had a great time 😊”

“Kathy recently looked after our 3 year old German Shepherd for 11 nights whilst we went away on holiday. This is the first time Zuko has been away from us & his home but he settled in perfectly from the first night and this was all down to Kathy. From when we initially did our first meet and greet our minds were put to rest as we got to know how experienced, knowledgeable and professional Kathy was and Zuko loved her from the start! We received regular updates with pictures of Zuko whilst we were away so we knew exactly how he was getting on and he looked so happy & settled in every picture. We will definitely be booking with Kathy again in the future and really couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Zuko!”


5. Oscar H.

“Our dog had an absolutely amazing time. Oscar is invested in making sure our pup was as happy and as healthy as possible. Their garden is a great size for running around in and lots of nearby parks for walking. We had regular pictures and communication from Oscar too. We couldn't be happier with their services and will definitely use them again.”


6. Amanda M.

“A huge thank you to Amanda for helping out at short notice. Amanda sent updates and photos throughout Rocco’s stay, so it was reassuring to know that Rocco was being well looked after whilst we were away. Rocco was completely worn out when we picked him up, so he clearly enjoyed lots of walks and play! Thanks Amanda, Rocco would love to stay again soon!! :)”


7. Luc W.

“I’m so so grateful for finding Luc through Rover app, he has taken extremely good care of our dog Bailey. Luc stayed with him for 5 days and not only he provided him with great care, long walks but he also looked after his injured paw. Luc has been very professional, informative and Bailey absolutely loved the time they spent together. Luc gave his 120%, and I would definitely recommend him as a dog sitter. Thank you Luc!”

16. Catherine R.

“Catherine is fabulous so down to earth and could tell straight away it would be a home away from home for Reggie - I was anxious leaving him for the first time and Reggie was on antibiotic eye drops/pain relief which wasn’t a problem for Catherine! She made the whole thing easy for both me and Reggie - I think he wants me to go on holiday more! Couldn’t rate high enough - Thankyou”

About: I've had dogs throughout my life, primarily larger breeds (German shepherds, bull mastiffs), and in recent years have taken on dog sitting roles from friends and colleagues for medium to large breed dogs. Enthusiastic about getting 15,000 steps a day, and where possible, will take dogs out for long runs with me. I work fully remote and flexiblly, so I am home most of the time and always looking for a companion to hang out with. I have lots of free time throughout the day for long walks, garden breaks and cuddles on the sofa. I have a fully fenced garden and secure house, and have previously worked with dogs requiring muzzles and other safety equipment, as well as larger, anxious dogs.


18. Lin Z.


“Another excellent stay! This time we had 3 dogs to stay with Lin and it was no trouble at all! Regular updates, photos and videos. Dogs came back happy… we are regular customers and will continue to use Lin whenever we need someone to look after our doggies xx”

20. Katie A.

“Bruce really enjoyed his stay with Katie and family. He’s come back happy and clearly very well looked after. We’ve not had to worry as he’s eaten well unlike a previous kennels stay. We’ve had lots of pictures and updates which has been great. This was our first experience of Rover too so all in all very happy. Would recommend Katie and will definitely book again in the future.”
