“I always feel comfortable leaving Bounty and Pixie with Molly! Bounty is ALWAYS pleased to see Molly and I would always recommend her to friends and family! Although I don’t want to so I can keep her to myself 🤣”

“Tanya looked after my cocker spaniel Henry for one night and I was very happy with the whole experience. Tanya was very warm and welcoming and I had no concerns leaving Henry with her. I received 2 updates during the evening letting me know that Henry was fine (which was unprompted by me but very much appreciated). The next day when I picked him up he almost seemed like he didn’t want to come home! I would 100% recommend Tanya and will definitely use again :)”

About: I first started caring for other peoples' animals when I was 11 years old. I made my own (very bad) website, and filled my parents' garden with hutches and runs, looking after rabbits and guinea pigs primarily. When I started university in 2017, I began looking after cats and dogs through a different pet care site (Tailster). I've cared for breeds from chihuahuas to huskies, and adapt my style of care based on the stimulation and attention they require. I adore animals; I currently live on a boat but if I had more space I'd be tempted to adopt my own dog (or two, or three...). I have my own mischievous tuxedo cat called Jeeves, who is skilled in nighttime gymnastics and turning on taps. Consequently, I cannot offer overnight stays or day boarding on the boat. Your dog wouldn't come back the same. I'm new to the Rover platform, but looking forward to getting started and meeting your pet! At the moment I'm working freelance, so I am extremely flexible with my time. I can work around your animals' needs and schedules as needed. If you're interested in my services, I'll talk to you about what your pet needs, and come to meet you. I ensure that I work within a pets' boundaries, and build trust with both them and you!

“Marta is the gold standard of dog sitting (possibly too good, our two dogs may now prefer her)! She sent us regular updates of the happiest dogs on walks and adapted to their individual needs. She also left us with a spotless house, and two very tired out pups! Would highly highly recommend her!”

I have recently been made redundant and trying to restart my self employed beauty business. I’m flexible and willing to help out where I can! I am confident with dogs and safety is number 1 to me. Anything you require me to do for your dog I will do with the most care.
About: Many years of looking after my own (currently have my little boy Benji who is great with other dogs) and other people’s dogs, as well as volunteering with rescue dogs at a shelter abroad. I’m a self employed artist working from home with my own little dog Benji who is great with other dogs. I have a completely flexible schedule perfect for taking the best care and giving attention to your much loved pup. I have my super friendly boy Benji to keep your pup company. I live on a permanently moored widebeam houseboat with garden and decking area. Getting on and off is easy but I always take extra care with the dogs.

About: I work full time but my role is fully remote, meaning I can be with your fur baby 24/7 providing all the love and snuggles they deserve! With my role being remote, I thought I’d use it as an opportunity to spend time with some gorgeous little creatures and help out pet parents. I know first hand how stressful it can be trying to find care for your fur babies when you go away! I’ve got a lot of experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes having grown up with rescues all my life. I also have a lot of experience caring for others pets including cats, I always tend to be the one my friends and family go to when they need a pet sitter as they all know how animal mad I am and will always jump at the chance to care for any animal! This has lead to them recommending me to the wider public helping me build a sizeable portfolio of pet sitting. I work full time but my role is fully remote, so I can be there to provide constant love and fuss for your pets 24/7. I am a genuine animal lover and truly believe your pets are family. I do everything within my power to ensure pets are cared for exactly how their owners have requested. I honestly see it as a privilege and a treat to give an abundance of love and cuddles to any creature!
“Arrived home to a happy dog, who has obvs been very well cared for. Georgia sent me photos and kept me up to date with how my boy was doing I would definitely ask Georgia to dogsit again and recommend her highly.”
“Mabel was an amazing house and dog sitter to our gentle giant Snoop! She kept all his routines, took him on walks and even at the local cafe while keeping the house immaculate. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again!”

About: Degree qualified veterinary nurse since 2010. I absolutely adore all animals and taking care of them to the best of my ability is a core passion of mine. I have 2 sensible primary school aged children who also love animals. Since I lost my Pug 3 years ago I’ve been helping the RSPCA with home boarding for animals in need of nursing care/respite. I thought I could combine my skills and offer pet sitting/home boarding to the local community and beyond as-well. I’m based in Ipswich but willing to travel for pet sitting. I work from home part-time so even when I’m busy; your pet will either be on my lap or right next to me. Weekends are spent outdoors and then cuddling on the sofa in the evenings.

I will use a double lead on all walks to ensure safety. My children are dog/cat savvy and never left alone with an animal at any time. I supervise all contact between them.

“Annie is the pet sitter of dreams. She came to meet me and my dog storm first and I immediately felt super comfortable and knew that storm would be in good hands. Storm is quite an energetic gal, and can be a handful - annie is amazing. Took storm for long walks, gave her lots of cuddles and sent regular updates so I didn’t have to stress. I couldn’t recommend Annie more highly !”

“Marta is the gold standard of dog sitting (possibly too good, our two dogs may now prefer her)! She sent us regular updates of the happiest dogs on walks and adapted to their individual needs. She also left us with a spotless house, and two very tired out pups! Would highly highly recommend her!”
Emily Rose C.
“Emily has dog sat for me a couple of times. Luna (our dog) loves her so much! would recommend her to anyone, always friendly and professional.”
James P.
“I have known James for around 7 years. Initially through another dog sitting website when James became a regular dog walker for my then young dog. We have become very good friends since then and James adopted his own dog about 5 years ago. My dog was quite wary of men at the time we met and I was unsure if she would take to having a man taking her for walks. I needn't have worried! She loved him right from the start. James loves dogs and takes his responsibility to look after them very seriously. He always does his utmost to ensure they get what they need. James enjoys being outside and so for him walking his own dog and any he cares for is no bother at all. James is very reliable and communication between us has always been great. I can unreservedly recommend James. Any dog owners would be lucky to have him care for their dog.”
Tiffany D.
“Tiffany is a responsible caring young lady with a passion for all animals she is kind,attentive and genuinely passionate about everything she does. Animals instantly trust her she truly has a way with animals.”

“Shannon looked after our 2 dogs very last minute and they absolutely adored her! She came round a week prior to sitting so that she could meet them and my littlest dog who can be snappy walked right up to her, into her arms and she carried him round the house the whole visit! Shannon is very caring and looked after our dogs so well, we would definitely choose her to look after our fur babies again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. 5* service and very reasonable prices! Thank you :)”

Lauren D.
“We used Laurens service in October this year when we went to a wedding that was an all-day event. She was brilliant, we arranged 2 visits during the day, and she came and sat with our dog, and cats. she played with them all, made sure everything was cleaned up, and took some pictures which she sent to me during the day showing them. (My dog absolutely loved her and is sitting with the biggest smile on her face in the pictures). As we were out all day, we gave Lauren the key to our house, she is extremely trustworthy, very reliable, caring and loves animals. I cannot recommend her services enough, and would not hesitate to have her look after my animals again, Thank you Lauren”
