“Dempsey had a lovely time with Allison! She was attentive, kind, excellent with cuddles and generous with toys. We’re so grateful to her for taking such great care of our guy.”

“Debbie is brilliant. I asked to meet her before booking in with her and so that my doggo, Buster, could also meet her. From the moment of meeting her I could just tell that he would be in safe hands. Buster had a fabulous holiday with Debbie, she sent me pics of him and let me know how he was doing. I knew that he would be loving life with her as he is such a great boy and loves being around people. I will definitely have no hesitations about rebooking with Debbie when needed. Thanks again so much for looking after my boy 🥰”

“Mokey had a great stay with Kim, lots of great walks and cuddles! Kim sent us lots of updates with plenty of photos of their walks together. Kim made sure Mokey was at ease and spoiled her lots, and was a very tired dog when we picked her up. Would recommend Kim to anyone, she’s great with dogs and spends lots of time and energy making sure they’re happy!”

“Mike and Lorraine were absolutely great looking after our lively Labrador Baxter. They sent regular updates and photos and we felt very confident leaving Baxter with them. He clearly had a great time…..he didn’t want to leave when we went to collect him!”

“Absolutely wonderful, we could not recommend Jessica more highly. She kept us informed of everything Skye was doing during our holiday, complete with really regular pictures and updates. When Skye developed a rash Jessica not only took Skye to the vets but by the time we were home, with the excellent care received from Jessica the rash had almost completely gone. For as long as Jessica has the availability and continues to board dogs she will be the only person we use.”

“We recently left our cocker spaniel, Poppy, with Caity for her first overnight stay, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Caity was warm, friendly and welcoming from the outset, and it was clear she has a great deal of experience with dogs. Poppy settled in really well and seemed to thoroughly enjoy her time there. When we picked her up, she was relaxed, happy and completely at ease, which is always the best indication that she has been well cared for. It gave us real peace of mind knowing that Poppy was in such capable and caring hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Caity to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced dog sitter, and we will definitely be booking with her again in the future. 🐾❤️”


“Amazing......Derek goes above and beyond to make sure your dog is looked after as if it were his own. This is the second time we have used Derek and will absolutly book Alfie in again. We had regular video message to see that our boy was happy and being well looked after. His routine was followed with plenty of walks . All Alfies needs were met and he was one very happy pug when we picked him up. If i could give more than five stars i would! Thanks again Derek.”

“Victoria and her family was fabulous with our dog. They were very attentive and wanting to know everything she needs to stay comfortably. My dog had an operation two weeks before her stay and they truly paid attention as to what will be best for her. The children showered her with love, but were respectful not to overstimulate. The back garden is large, but Rowan was mainly taken for walks, as she was not allow to play too vigorously due to the surgery. She did not want to leave upon my return! Also, I am grateful to Victoria for one favour she did, due to a small mistake I have made.”

“My first Rover booking and John could not have been more helpful. The communication was really easy. John really went out of his way to welcome my dog Scout and make her welcome in his home. John made sure there were options to ensure she was completely relaxed and that I knew she was well cared for. She was walked frequently and loved the company of his dogs. We had regular updates with photos and were delighted with her care. Would definitely recommend John.”
“Judit was incredible with our dog Avie. She provided regular updates with pictures and videos and we could really tell that Avie was getting the love and attention she deserves. I would get in touch with Judit again to look after Avie anytime as I could tell she was very well looked after and cared for.”

“Our dog Pablo had a great time with Nicole. From the moment we met, it was clear how caring and reliable she is with animals. I was kept up to date with regular updates and photos, and they had a lovely time walking and playing in the park and at home. Pablo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well looked after. Will definitely be booking another stay soon!”

“Anne looked after Georgie for two days. Georgie is a German Shepherd who is full of beans and can be a bit reactive but Anne dealt with all her needs amazingly well. Anne knew which dogs in the local park/green spaces would make good play mates and Georgie had a ball. Anne also played loads of games with her and the outdoor space she has is great. Georgie came home very happy and tired. I was nervous to let someone else look after Georgie but Anne was great at looking after me too! plenty of photos and reassurance to make it a really positive experience for everyone.”

“Kirsty looked after our 9month old German Shepard for 8nights. Great amazing service my dog was looked after and cared for with a lot of passion. Kirsty went above and beyond with needs that were provided. Our dog took time to settle and Kirsty had a lot of patients understanding we were more than happy with the service provided. Would highly recommend thank you Kirsty”

“Booked Siyi for another stay and now knowing Muffin (and her quirks), she was able to prepare for her visit by cooking up some tasty treats to make sure she had enough to eat. Muffin was taken on a wonderful adventure during her stay and once again, Siyi looked after her so so well. Thank you so much 🥰”

“I’m grateful to Samuel for accepting my booking at short notice when my booking with another Rover fell through. His place is great and he really made me and Finn feel welcome. I got great updates from Samuel, he was flexible and Finn seemed very happy with him. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Thanks Samuel!”

“Tilly had a great time with Gillian, on one of the wettest days of the year she got some lovely walks and cosied at her house. Gillian is so lovely and I would highly recommend her and Tilly wants to know when she can see her again. 😊”

“This was Mila’s 2nd stay with Julie & Steve. She was well taken care of, lovely walks and lots of cuddles and fuss to help her feel settled. Mila will be staying again in August ❤️❤️❤️”

“Amazing! Jennifer was great at communicating from start to finish, which made everything really easy and reassuring. I felt completely comfortable leaving Beau overnight, and he was safe, well looked after and happy to gets lots of cuddles. I'd definitely book again and highly recommend Jennifer!”

Jessica truly saved our holiday. Not only did she rescue our Christmas plans, but she turned out to be the kindest, most caring & genuinely lovely person. Our dog Milo had an amazing time with her & was so well looked after. After being cancelled on by another Rover sitter on the day we arrived, we reached out to Jessica in a panic to see if she could board Milo. We knew it was a long shot — same‑day contact, Christmas week — but after a meet‑and‑greet, she welcomed him in without hesitation. We’re so grateful she was willing to help. We knew Milo would need a little time to adjust to new surroundings & unfamiliar faces, & it was clear from every update that Jessica understood this. She gave him the space & time he needed to settle in at his own pace. Throughout Milo’s stay, we received regular updates, along with lovely videos & photos that instantly put our minds at ease. We especially loved the video of Milo opening his Christmas stocking, such a thoughtful touch. It was wonderful to see how active & affectionate she was with him — taking him to the beach, giving him plenty of attention, & making sure he felt comfortable, happy, & loved. Jessica, without a shadow of a doubt, will always be our go‑to person whenever we’re in her region. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, & we’re incredibly thankful for everything she did for Milo & for us.

Victoria and her family were amazing! They took such wonderful care of our dog and applied his medicine. On top of this she was so flexible with my ever changing situation. She was so kind and I very highly recommend her - will definitely use her again should the need arise! Thank you for everything you did.
