“Max had a fantastic time staying with Kevin, Denise and their lovely children for the week. He was given all the attention, exercise and time to play that he needed and is used to. We got regular updates, photos and videos that showed us how he was getting on and what he was up to which was really helpful. They were considerate to our instructions and wishes in regards to Max's routine and needs which was highly appreciated. All in all a very successful stay. Would definitely recommend! 😁👍”

“Here’s a polished and corrected version of your review: --- Our puppy Harry is very small and still in training, but Fred kindly offered to look after him for two days. Fred is extremely friendly and flexible. He kept us updated with pictures of Harry, which really put our minds at ease. We never had to worry about our little pup while he was with Fred. Highly recommend!”

“First time I had ever left my doggy Kevin and I have to say that Natalia put my mind at ease, she sent me regular updates and photos which was lovely x Kevin had a lovely time x x”

“Absolutely incredible sit. It was a super last minute request on our part and these guys jumped at the challenge. Their communication was incredible, constant photos and videos so we were always confident Rocky was safe and happy. I couldn’t recommend anyone more. Thank you so much! Rocky will definitely be back for another sleepover.”

About: Hello! We are Dave and Mateja, who live in a house with a large fenced garden with our golden retriever/labrador Luna. She is our first baby who joined us nearly 6 years ago, but we have both grown up with dogs all our lives and we love looking after them, play with them and take them for long walks. Whilst new to Rover, we look after family’s and friends’ dogs part-time and have 10+ years experience of taking care of doggies big and small. I did puppy school with my first dog Nicky (maltese) over 15 years ago and have picked up experience on teaching and training dogs. We live in a house on a private road, surrounded by trees and a big park. We regularly walk the dogs in the park which we can access from our road so there is no danger of any traffic. We have lots of dog toys (well, Luna does but she is happy to share) and plenty of space for ball throwing. I am DBS checked and have pet first aid certificate, available for inspection upon request. If you’re new to Rover too, you can get £15 off your first booking with code MATEJS98402 I am currently on maternity leave and Dave works from home most days so we are both home to look after the dogs. We do at least 2 walks each day, one in the morning and one long one in the evening. We are happy to accommodate more(or less) walks depending on your doggy’s needs. Our garden is fenced off and because we are tucked away from the road, the dogs are safe whilst outside or inside the house. Luna is a friendly dog who loves playing with other dogs, but she is also used to living with older dogs who don’t like to play that much anymore, so she will back off and leave them in peace when they indicate they don’t want to play. Our 2 boys (2 years old and 8months) are used to having dogs around and are very gentle with them. We are always careful and only let the children to interact with dogs under supervision. We are happy for dogs to be in or out of crate and they are welcome in any room of the house where they feel most comfortable.
“Laura and Kevin are fantastic! This is the second time Huxley has stayed with them and he really enjoys it! Laura is very good and keeping me up to date on how Huxley is doing with plenty of photographs too. Huxley will of course stay with them again!”

“Wayne was fantastic with our dog Tyson, he was attentive to his needs and adapted around the May heat wave to looks after him. He also kept sent us pictures and kept us up to date regularly so we didn’t have to worry how he was doing - highly recommended!”

“We left our boy( dog) with Michelle for 10 days while we were away, and WOW was the best decision to give our dog to Michelle and Ava ( who helped and our dog become attached to her 😊). Michelle kept us updated with pictures and daily messages about our boy. I didnt felt that we left Fidel with a stranger. Michelle and her family and Wilf and Ralf embraced and welcomed Fidel. He felt at home straight away. I will definitely bring Fidel back to Michelle and highly recommend the complete package that she offers.”

“Our 9month old Cockerpoo had the best time at Anke’s. He made some great friends with other lovely dogs. Anke kept us informed the whole way through with lots of videos, even gave him a bath and we knew he was taken great care of. We would definitely use her again.”

“Ronnie and his wife put me and my family at ease knowing our fur baby Hunter was cared for like we would. We got amazing photos and video updates daily which showed how happy and content Hunter was. I would not think twice about asking Ronnie to look after Hunter again as I know he will be perfectly fine. Absolutely fantastic dog boarding”

“Cristina, was brilliant, Benson had such a lovely time. He loved running around the garden with the other dogs, Benson also loved Cristina’s cosy lovely home. I loved getting all the updates/videos. Superb from start to finish.”

“Absolutely pleased with the service from Nasselem. She gave frequent updates and Baxter was very happy. He enjoyed himself with Blue and didnt want come home. I would definitely recommend.”

“Lea and Lucas are the best dog-sitters! They have taken such an amazing care of our two dogs while we were away on holidays. Every day we received lots of photos and updates how their day was. I couldn’t be more grateful to have found them ?”
“This is the third time that Teddy and Daisy have been to Jackie, when we arrived, they greeted jackie which was nice to see that they recognised her. Jackie sent many photos to us which we enjoyed looking at she also administered some medicine to one of our dogs that is prescribed by the vet. I will not hesitate to use jacqi again in the future.”


“Clare looked after our dogs, Rocco and Lenny, for two weeks while we were away, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. From the very beginning, Clare took the time to really understand both dogs, their personalities, routines, and individual needs, which immediately gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear throughout their stay that she genuinely bonded with them and treated them with so much care and attention. We really appreciated her thoughtful approach and the reassurance of knowing they were in such capable hands while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Clare to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter, and we will definitely be using her services again the next time we travel.”

“As soon we met Wendy, I knew I would be happy leaving Terrance with her. She looked after him really well and it sounds like he made himself at home during his stay, so he was obviously very comfortable there. Would definitely book with her again.”

“Heather was lovely with our Kobe and took great care of him. She kept us updated with photos of him too, which was appreciated so we knew he was having a good time and being spoilt!”

“Liu was fantastic with Juno! She sent plenty of photos and videos throughout the stay, which really put my mind at ease. Juno looked happy and well cared for the entire time. Highly recommend.”

Thank you Kevin, Denise and family for looking after Alfie for us for the week. From the photos, he certainly looks like he had fun! He slept most of the day when he returned home and was happy to be home. We would certainly book again. We have nothing planned at the moment. We hope you have a lovely Summer. Best wishes Tina, Paul & Alfie.

Thank you so much, Amanda, for taking such great care of Miley! We needed a sitter quite urgently, and Amanda was available and incredibly helpful. Miley stayed for one night and truly felt at home. We really appreciated the regular photo and video updates—it gave us so much peace of mind. We’re very happy with the experience and will definitely reach out to Amanda again in the future!

I cannot thank Natalia enough for taking such good care of our crazy little dachshund Hank. Hank is an incredibly affectionate and needy little pup so it was important for us to find someone who was able to provide that level of care and Natalia was that person & more!!! She was so communicative throughout his stay, sending us pictures and giving us updates which was so so lovely 🥰 We would let Natalia have Hank again in a heartbeat and I know Hank would be most pleased about that too - he had a fabulous time! She also left us a little card containing a picture of Hank which made me and my partner tear up because of how sweet that was. Thank you so much Natalia, you exceeded all of our expectations 🥹🤍

Hannah is absolutely brilliant,she took excellent care boarding our dog Ronnie and could not have been better with updates and videos during that time ,she and her family were very attentive to our dog and played with him constantly and gave him plenty of mental stimulation (he's a very energetic dog ).Ronnie had a brilliant time there and loved his sleepover :D

It was my first time leaving Luna with someone else outside my family, she had great time with Bilqees and her family. They are all very friendly people and they know how to make sure that your beloved pet is safe and have fun. Thank you so much for being there to support us!

My pup had a lovely time with Chelsea, enjoying beach walks. Chelsea is really friendly and her kids were very excited at having a fur baby come to stay. I got stuck in the traffic of a major accident on my way home from my holiday and Chelsea very kindly dropped my pup home for me.
