Chester had his first overnight stay so that we could enjoy our daughter’s engagement party. Tania updated us with photos and it was amazing as we could enjoy something without worrying about the dog being left alone. Thanks so much for caring so well for him

I don’t even know where to start, I genuinely couldn’t have wished for a more caring and loving person to look after my boy 🥹♥️. He’s a very high energy working cocker and she had him sleeping on the sofa within the first few hours. She took him on so many amazing adventures and he had loads of different experiences that I really doubt he wants to be home! From the first meeting she had a mini interview where she asked me absolutely everything about Pickle. What he likes, what each command means, his favourite toys, treats, you name it. From that moment I knew he was going to be in good hands 🥰 I would take him back to Julie in a heartbeat, I’ve never felt relaxed leaving him with anyone and now finally I feel I can enjoy having time away for the first time since having Pickle ♥️🥒

Steve has been great and welcoming from the offset and made us feel very comfortable leaving the dog with him and his family as first time users of rover. Provided a lot of photos and updates throughout the dogs stay and looks like he had a great time! Would highly recommend booking through Steve and we will definitely be booking with him again in the future!

She is very responsive to messages and sent lots of updates and photos so we could see how well he was doing. We will definitely be returning Thank you ?

One word Amazing. Such a lovely couple. Arranged a meet and greet. And felt at ease straight away. On the day that I dropped Ollie off I would usually be anxious. But I had no anxiety at all. Ollie has needs in which these 2 knew actually how to look after. I was kept in the loop of how he was going throughout his time away. When I went to pick him up he didn't want to come home. He had a great time. Would highly recommend. Thankyou 😁

I’m delighted and my dog is already looking forward to a week’s holiday with Csilla.

Eva was the first person outside of my immediate family to look after Otis, so I was a little nervous ahead of booking. Eva offered a meet up and it was very reassuring to see her home and she immediately put me at ease. Otis had a great couple of days with her - he particularly enjoyed her wonderful garden; exploring it kept him very entertained! Eva provided regular updates and sent photos, which were much appreciated. She was very patient with him when he was a little apprehensive of her stairs (the stairs are fine - he is just a little scared of stairs in general!). She took great care of him and followed our routines at home. I would not hesitate to use Eva again and would highly recommend her to others (especially those who are a little apprehensive about leaving their previous pup!).

About: I've been around animals my whole life, growing up with a large dog and later caring regularly for friends' dogs—and even the occasional rabbit. I'm now the proud owner of a 4-year-old Cocker Spaniel named Jinx and a playful Oriental Shorthair cat named Luna. Caring for animals is second nature to me, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I go on daily walks and love exploring woodlands and beaches—because, let’s be honest, what’s life to a Spaniel without a daily swim? I currently work weekends, so I’m available most weekdays and would be thrilled to have your dog join Jinx and me on our everyday adventures! I have a reasonable sized, fenced garden. Pets are allowed on furniture/beds. Toilet breaks can be as needed. Regular walks and playtime are a guarantee.

Our dogs Seeley, Tilly and Duke (RIP) love their Aunty Steph! She has minded them countless times now and we know that they are in safe hands each and every time. She's opened up her home to them with care and warmth, and we can tell they have fun through the photos she shares with us. Staying with Steph is a home away from home for sure.
