House Sitting Dobwalls

“This was our first time using Rover and we were delighted to have found Ruiradh. Our dogs were so well looked after. We received regular updates too. It felt strange entrusting our house and our boys to someone we’d only met for an hour or so before. It all worked out brilliantly. Ruiridh will certainly be our first choice in future.”

“Maxine was brilliant with our two dogs and even had Lexi, our rescue dog, sitting next to her.. that only happens with us usually! She sent pictures of the dogs relaxing and on a walk whilst we were away, which was really nice. We would totally recommend Maxine and would book her if we are near here on holiday again. Thanks so much :-)”

“Alison looked after Phoebe for a weekend. Phoebe immediately took to her, I got lots of updates and the house was left nice and tidy when we returned ☺️”

“First time I've ever left the dogs with anyone and I couldn't have chosen someone better. The girls had the best time, enjoyed walking and relaxing with David. I was kept up to date with photos too, which was lovely. Thank you. Will definitely be booking again.”

About: I trained me Sprocker Spaniel who is still a puppy. This involved basic commands and recall. He is well behaved, well socialised and a happy dog :) I run my own business so have good flexibility during the week and at weekends. I won't be out for more than 3 to 4 hours and I can walk, feed and socialise them inbetween. I will be there to look over them most of the day..I may leave for 3 to 4 hours but will make sure they've been walked and fed before so.

“We felt totally comfortable with Cassandra looking after jock. He was instantly at ease with her. She was punctual and polite. We will definitely use her again.”

“George was really understanding about Phoebe's delicate nature, and loved and looked after her as I would do. He is an excellent house guest, and I would highly recommend him. I shall be booking George again when I next go away.”

“As a first time for having someone other than family look after our dog Bailey, I was a little nervous/anxious about the whole thing. But from our first meeting to the end of the actual booking I have been so impressed by India, I honestly have nothing but praise and gratitude for her. Bailey absolutely loves her, India has a caring warmth about her which which radiates. We were away through the heat wave and India kept us fully updated, she even brought her own cooling mat to help Bailey whilst also conversing with us if there was anything we usually do to keep Bailey cool. We were sent photos and given updates and knew we could contact India if we had any cocerns. India left our home exactly how she found it and it was great to come home and not worry about cleaning or stripping beds as India had done it for the room she stayed in. We can not recommend India enough and would be more than happy to book her again if we manage to get away! Thank you India x”

“Rosanna was amazing and stepped in at the last minute when a different sitter cancelled housesitting so we could still go for a celebratory meal out. She responded promptly and shared updates through the evening. Would recommend!”

About: We are a couple that loves dogs but travels alot, Jo works from home with flexible working hours which can work around pet care easily. Morning, lunch and evening walks are easily to cater for. Intermittent attention throughout the day is a welcome distraction from my desk. Dogs walks before work, lunch and after work well in any weather depending on the activity level of the dog. I work remotely so all I need is a desk for my laptop. I work from home with flexible working hours which can work around pet care easily. I have the time and flexibility to look after your pet. I have the flexibility to work the same schedule you have with your animal. Happy to look after the home as well as your beloved pet.

“Fantastic!! My 2 dogs took to her straight away, she gave them lots of cuddles, attention and enrichment in the garden. She also left the house clean, tidy and secure. I will definitely rebook!”

“Emma was wonderful during her recent sit for Tilly. Had a lovely meet and greet... , friendly and open. Communicated well throughout the stay and Tilly relaxed very quickly in her care and was very settled and comfortable when we arrived home.”

About: Hi, I’m Abby, I'm 22 years old and love dogs!! I had many dogs growing up and was in charge of looking after them, but unfortunately I can't have any pets now due to my lifestyle. I haven’t got any kids around so no need to worry if your dog isn’t great with children. I love going for walks with your furry friends - I live right next to a woodland area, which is perfect for going on walks. I am a full-time nurse, working 4 days/week, and my schedule does vary by the week, but the calendar will be updated regularly. I am a full-time nurse, so I spend 4 days/week working at the hospital, however when I am not on working, I am often available. I would love to spend my days off looking after your furry friends, walking them during the day and keeping them busy! I live in a home with a small enclosed garden. My home is right next to a large park/woodland area with many paths and routes to walk your dogs.

“We had previously hired Corben for a day time dog sit and did not hesitate to contact him again when we then needed an overnight stay with our dog. Corben was very flexible with the timings and very attentive to our needs to allow us to make the most of our night away. Corben was great with our dog and provided regular communication on how she was getting on. I can't recommend Corben enough. Knowing our dog was safe and happy allowed us to fully relax and enjoy our event without worry. We will definitely be booking Corben again for any of our dog sitting needs.”

“Zarina looked after our dog while we were out for a concert - he is a large breed and can have separation anxiety, but Zarina’s calm and confident manner reassured both pet and owners. Shortly after we left, she messaged us with an update and a photo of our dog having settled down, and continued to update us while we were out. Would recommend!”

“Shannon was amazing, kept me updated regularly and very flexible!”

About: I have many years experience looking after all types of pets from hamsters 🐹 to dogs 🐶 I have had pets all my life and currently have a dog called Pip and two bunnies called Fred & Ginger! I also have an animal first aid certificate and a current DBS. I currently work part-time so I have plenty of spare time to look after your fur babies! I can drive and have no commitments so happy to work around you & what you need. I can offer pet sitting in your own home from drop in's to dog walking to overnight/holiday stays. Happy to travel if needed.

“Thank you so much Sophie & Nick. My dog is very anxious and has separation anxiety. Sophie & Nick took the time to get to know him and gently introduce him. It's clear to me how much they care about dogs, as my boy was very well looked after. Sophie sent lots of photos snd regularly updated me on how he was managing. Highly recommended and will certainly book their services again.”

About: My experience with just dealing with pets is having my own animals from young. I've had fish, hamster, guinea pigs and dogs. My first dog was a rescued Boxer, Ruben. My first proper puppy was a Pug, Dexter, then we rescued Alfie another Pug at the same age as Dexter (around 4yrs.) My house sitting and pet experience was living in an annexe above my landladys garage. She had a working cocker, Zeva. She'd trust me with looking after her house and Zeva while she had to go away for work or on holiday. That was over 2yrs of me living there. I even took Zeva away with my boyfriend and I as we went to Bournemouth for a weekend I was looking after her. We got a pet friendly accomodation and she had the best time on the beach and in the sea playing with her ball. I work 3 days a week, so have plenty of time for sitting and walking pets. I like to walk daily, so dog walking is well suited with my lifestyle. I care for pets in an owners home by communicating with the owners in the first instance to see what responsibilities they expect of their sitter to make sure their animals are in perfect care.

“Liana stepped in at the last minute to look after our dogs after a previous dog sitter who we booked last October let us down, this was an important occasion my daughter’s wedding. I was amazed how calm she was and I felt at ease straight away. Asking someone to look after 8 dogs albeit small ones is a big ask, but she was brilliant and I really hope they behaved for her! I would definitely ask to rebook her again, and I’m grateful to my friend who recommended Rover.”
