Justina was a huge help for us and looked after our Sidney for two days over the bank holiday weekend. We had regular updates whilst we were away, and one very happy puppy when we returned. I would recommend Justina for anyone, and we and Sidney would be very happy to use her again! Thanks for everything Justina.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who treats every pet with the same care and affection I’d give my own. I specialize in reading cues and respecting boundaries, ensuring that your pet feels safe and heard. My goal is to keep their routine consistent and their tails wagging (or purring!) so they feel truly at home until you return. My work-from-home lifestyle allows me to be highly adaptable and responsive. I have plenty of time throughout the day to dedicate to your pet, ensuring they receive constant care, attention, and supervision without being left alone for long periods of time. I prioritise safety by staying fully present and attentive. I am playful when appropriate but always vigilant about your pet's boundaries and body language. I ensure the environment is secure so your pet feels completely safe, relaxed, and 'at home' while you are away

About: My whole family has had pets since I was a child. My dad has four dogs, two cats and many bunny rabbits! So I have experience with handing group dynamics and connecting with a range of personalities and temperaments in furry friends ❤️🐕 I’m currently a university student living at home so I’m available for drop in most days as lots of free time. I can also do overnight or walks, just let me know what works for you! I have a fenced garden so can have pets in my home as well if easier! I live with my mum and teenage brother so no younger children, and all of us have experience with animals and would love to welcome them into our home 😄

Cerys looked after Troy and Pumpkin for two weeks in my house at fairly short notice. Over the two weeks she sent daily updates on how the dogs were doing and the house was very clean and tidy when I got back. The dogs seemed very happy and relaxed upon my return and always looked like they were having a blast on the video updates I got of their walks from Cerys. I would definitely recommend and will rebook Cerys if the opportunity arises.

About: I’ve been around and adored both cats and dogs from my childhood. I’ve never understood the great divide between cat and dog lovers…why can’t I be both?! I’m a remote freelance designer so have a very flexible schedule that can shift around the needs of your pet. I don’t have pets or family of my own, so your furry friend can be my priority! Without the need to go into an office during the day, I have the ability to care for your pet in the comfort of their own environment.

About: Hi, I’m Amy! I’m 35 and have been a dog lover all my life. I’ve been trusted by friends to care for their pets, and I’d love to welcome a few more furry friends. Every dog is different, and I always try to match their routine and personality, whether that’s sniffy walks, playful games, quiet companionship, or just a bit of fuss when they want it. Your dog will get my full attention, as I love caring for pups, keeping to the routines that matter most, and helping them feel happy and settled. I grew up with a family dog, but I don’t currently have one of my own. One day I’d love to, but for now I’m enjoying spending the time I have giving care and affection to the dogs I look after. My home setup: • Secure private garden for safe playtime and extra fresh air on top of walks • Calm, child-free, non-smoking environment • My own car for easy transport (e.g. pick-ups, drop offs and vet visits if ever needed) • A relaxed, homely setting where your pup will be treated like family Walks: I’m happy to take your dog to their favourite local spots, or explore nearby parks and green spaces. I stick to whatever they’re most comfortable with. Whether your dog enjoys a long energetic walk or a gentle stroll, I adapt to their needs. Why choose me? • Safe, reliable care with regular photo/text updates • I will treat your dog as if they were my own • Flexible schedule and fast communication • Experience across many breeds and personalities from puppies to older dogs What I offer: • Regular or one-off dog walks • Drop-in visits for feeding, toilet breaks, and playtime • Dog boarding with daily walks and lots of attention • House sitting/overnights if you prefer your dog stays in their own home I am starting part-time work so my availability would be: •Free most Fridays – Sundays. My calendar is always kept up to date so other days may also work too! In my home, dogs enjoy a secure garden, a calm and homely environment, and plenty of attention throughout the day. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routines closely, making sure they feel safe and settled while keeping everything consistent for their comfort.

About: I’ve been looking after dogs on and off for about 3 years now. Mostly smaller breeds, but I’ve also had some experience with puppies — including toilet training and helping them get used to routines. I really enjoy spending time with dogs, playing with them, taking them out for walks, and just keeping them happy and calm while their owners are away. What sets me apart: I actually pay attention to the dog’s mood and personality. Some need more playtime, some just want a quiet walk — I adapt to that. I don’t rush things and I make sure the dog feels safe and looked after. I treat every dog like it’s my own — with care, consistency, and a bit of fun. I work from the office two days a week and from home the rest, so fitting in walks or visits isn’t a problem. I’m flexible with timing and can usually adjust my day to make sure the dog gets proper attention. I’ve got a safe back garden for quick outdoor breaks. Dogs can move freely around the house — most of them skip their bed and go straight for the sofa anyway.

Tristian was great with our two dogs. Although one of our dogs was in a strange mood and particularly difficult over the stay, Tristan kept us well updated and sent photos to make sure we were worry-free. He was very respectful of the home also. Thanks so much for looking after them and at the last minute!

Hi! During a difficult time in my life, Justina was a godsend looking after enzo. I had piece of mind, she kept me updated and after four nights with Justina looking after him, he is still going into the bedroom she slept in looking for her. She has been absolutely amazing, my journey home was a nightmare and she was very accommodating. Justina is a true animal lover making sure enzo got a lot of cuddle time. Thank you so much

I can’t recommend Anna Maria enough! She took such good care of my little baby Daisy over Christmas. It was a longer sit and I’m always nervous leaving her but Anna Maria met with us beforehand and sent lots of pictures and videos during the sit which helped put me at ease. You can tell she has a really genuine love for animals and Daisy had the best time. Thank you, Anna Maria! 😊

Alicia is a wonderful lady and is very caring with dogs. We were landed with a last minute change of dog care. Alicia was able to help us, responding late in the evening to our call for care the following morning at our home. Our gorgeous old boy received lots cuddles as soon as Alicia arrived to provide 24 hour care and we received regular updates from Alicia during that period . We will definitely book Alicia again in the future as she is a wonderful five star dog-carer. We are pleased we used the Rover app too for the first time. It helped us out in our last minute panic.
