Edward looked after my dog Elsie as we had a family wedding. Elsie is 11 years old and I have never left her so I was worried how she would be. I needn’t have worried. She loved being with Edward. Such a kind and caring man. He kept me updated with messages and videos of Elsie. I would not hesitate to leave Elsie with Edward again.

Sophie is a lovely young lady and she was confident around my dog from the moment she met him. I've not used online services such as Rover before so I was a little trepudatious as to whether I had made the right decision but felt as Sophie was local to where I was staying, I would be able to extricate Merlot should I find this kind of service wasn't right for him. I need not have worried, from the start I had reassuring messages from Sophie and my confidence grew in her. From the moment I met Sophie she welcomed Merlot with an open door and arms, she was very keen to listen to all I had to say about Merlot and literally opened her home to him. Her home is clean and inviting and she allowed Merlot the opportunity to check out his environment with no words of caution and no restrictions, which assured me he was going to have a home from home experience and that Sophie was ready to give him the love and care he deserved while in her charge. I had no doubt I could put my trust in Sophie. We experienced difficulty communicating due to the centre of Canterbury having the lousiest WiFi and text connections (I was aware of this years ago and it hasn't really improved) and Sophie was very patient, letting me know she'd not received replies from me. All in all I was reassured Merlot was being well looked after and this enabled me to enjoy and immerse myself in my weekend of singing workshop. On my way home I stopped off to walk Merlot and spoke to a fellow dog owner and gave recommendations for Sophie and Rover's services. I will recommend to family and friends throughout the UK and I would like to thank Sophie so much for enabling me to have such an amazing weekend xxx

Marley spent another three nights with Wan Jeong, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she received. It’s already becoming a second home for her, she settles in beautifully and always comes back relaxed, happy, and full of love. Marley absolutely adores Wan Jeong. The gentle care, constant attention, and thoughtful updates make it clear how special their bond is. I feel completely at ease knowing Marley is safe and loved when she’s there. We are incredibly grateful to have found someone so kind, trustworthy, and dedicated. Thank you once again, Wan Jeong. Marley can’t wait for her next stay!

This was the first time I’ve ever used this service for my 3 month old puppy! But all the way through Katrina was prompt to respond and I had lots of photos and updates throughout, making me feel very happy and confident my puppy was happy! I couldn’t have been happier with this experience and will def use Katrina and her sister again. Very friendly and professional with all that they did with my pup! Highly recommend.

About: I have been surrounded by pets my entire life! My partner (Ryan) and I both grew up in multi-pet households, so we are completely comfortable with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. We recently purchased our own flat and are thrilled to finally be able to welcome pets into our warm and loving home. Our schedules mean that your pet will have around the clock care, company and unlimited cuddles during their stay with us. I work in sales, which gives me two weekdays off to dedicate fully to walks, playtime, and cuddles. My partner Ryan is home on weekends to provide extra love and supervision, ensuring your pet is never lonely. We treat every pet like family and are comfortable with puppies, senior care, managing multiple pets (if from the same household) and following specific routines. We can't wait to welcome your dog (or cat!) into our home! 🐾 The safety and comfort of your pet are our top priorities. Our flat provides a calm and secure home environment with fully hard floors throughout living spaces. Our building features a fenced, communal garden that is completely set back and secured away from any roads where your dog can safely enjoy some fresh air and supervised play. Although we have use of a garden, we both love to walk and are happy to provide as many walks a day as your dog requires to ensure your dog is happy, stimulated, and gets plenty of exercise. We will be fully focused on giving your dog individual attention and enrichment. Ryan and I always supervise playtime, both inside and outside the home. We also strictly follow all feeding, medical, and routine instructions provided by you, ensuring a seamless and worry-free stay.

My 11 year old cockapoo Bella stayed overnight with Elisa and family. She settled in very quickly, which she often doesn’t in new places, and loved her time there. Elisa kept me updated with lots of photos and messages. Elisa is easy to get on with and is obviously a true dog lover! I 100% recommend.

We couldn’t recommend Monica more highly. Ottie loves to visit her and her family - so much so, that when she arrives, it’s nose through the door without bothering to say goodbye to us! Walks, playing & being wrapped with affection. Lots of cute photos too. Monica is kind, calm, helpful, reliable … we feel very lucky to have found her to take care of Ottie.

I was looking for a place where my spaniel would feel as if she was at a home from home I had to leave her for a night over the Christmas holiday period. Lizzie and her family fitted the brief perfectly; they were welcoming and relaxed and immediately made me feel that Molly would be fine with them. Lizzie sent me pictures of how she was settling in over the period and set my mind at ease. I wouldn't hesitate in using Lizzie again, or recommending her to anyone I know who has a dog and needs a trustworthy sitter.

I had such a wonderful experience with Natalia as my dog sitter for my puppy, Latte! She suggested we meet beforehand so she and Latte could get to know each other, and I really appreciated that extra step. From the moment we arrived, Latte absolutely loved her—he was running around, playing, and giving her so much affection. We spent nearly an hour at her home, and I could already tell she had such a gentle, loving nature with him. Natalia did overnight boarding for Latte on short notice during a bank holiday, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. When I picked him up, he was clean, happy, and clearly well looked after. She walked him multiple times throughout the day, which was perfect for my inquisitive little pup, and she sent me regular updates and photos without me even needing to ask. Natalia is truly lovely, and I’m so happy to say I’ll definitely be using her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive dog sitter!

Kayleigh was absolutely fantastic with Wes, our rescue greyhound. It was the second time he stayed with Kayleigh and it was obvious from the pictures she sent that he had an absolute blast and felt extremely comfortable in her care. We had consistent updates from Kayleigh and felt we could completely trust her with Wes, even though we don't often leave him and he's getting on in years. I would not hesitate to reccomend Kayleigh to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter.

Thank you so much for looking after my little Lady when we were visiting friends in Canterbury but couldn’t take our little papillon. Iv never had to use a boarding service for her before and was quite anxious about it but Annabel put me at ease and Lady seemed to instantly take to her. Would happily book her again if we were visiting Canterbury again! Would highly recommend Annabel!

Natalia looked after our bulldog Hugo for a week recently. He’s a bit scatty and it was his first time away from us in another home. He has some breathing issues and got very over excited when we dropped him off. I was quite worried but Natalia is a very softly spoken and calm person and took control. I think he’s actually calmer now than he was before. He was walked regularly and had a lot of company and cuddles. We received regular updates and Natalia replies immediately to any messages. We would definitely recommend her and use her services again. Thank you :)

Herbie and Emma looked after our excitable 18 month old Cocker-Retriever Finn for 6 nights and could not have been more accommodating. They listened to all our ‘instructions’ and Finn was clearly so well looked after. We were sent updates every day and were so confident he was in good hands. Herbie and Emma arranged a pre-sitting walk with us too so everyone could meet which worked great. I can’t recommend them highly enough, and Finn will be back! Thank you both
