“This is the second time I have used Dorothy and once again, she was absolutely fantastic. I could tell she really enjoyed having Kora and could tell Kora really enjoyed her stay. A great sitter, who tailors things to suit you and your pet perfectly. Thanks Dorothy”
“So happy to have found Linnet for my first use of Rover. Linnet looked after my 2 dogs for 3 days and they absolutely loved their time with her. Plenty of updates and photos were provided during their stay giving ultimate reassurance. Linnet was really accommodating for both dogs, one of which can be slightly nervous and fussy at dinner times. Two very tired and happy dogs at the end of their stay!”
“Our old doggy Bob stayed with Nigel for two nights. He recently lost his owner and had to relocate to our home so we were looking for a home setting so as not to disturb him too much. We found the perfect place, Nigel was warm and welcoming of us and Bob along with all his little quirks! When we picked him up he had made himself very at home. He certainly had a lot of love whilst he stayed with Nigel, thank you so much for looking after Bob so well. Would thoroughly recommend Nigel as a trusted carer.”
“Ottie absolutely loves coming to stay at Victorias! She has been a few times now, including a full week, and we wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. We received frequent updates on Otties stay and how she was getting on, we couldn’t have asked for more! Victoria really treated Ottie like one of her own and this made leaving her worry free.”
“Graham is very quick to respond to messages. He really put me at ease, as it was my first time using Rover. Ralph had an excellent time and we received messages during his stay which was comforting to know he was happy and safe. Highly recommend Graham.”
About: I’ve had experience with dogs, especially for the whole of my life. Since I was born, I had grown up around dogs so I know they mannerisms quite well. From a HUGE mutt who loved to chase rabbits and a Feisty jack tussle to a tiny yapping sausage dog I’m capable of either. To ease your mind, I have also studied animal management for two years, and I have a certificate and a diploma to show for it. while I attended I walked a few of the resident dogs who had a wide range of behavioural issues such as reactivity. And lastly, I also worked with a greyhound rescue for awhile so it’s safe to say I am very used to dogs that like to pull! I am working full time so Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, with most Saturdays I will not be free. Unfortunately my schedule is tricky but I’m always willing to find the perfect time to help manage your own busy schedules. For now I’m only going to provide dog walking services around your own area, so I will be driving to you. I will not provide any leads, harnesses or muzzles so please make sure your own dog has the appropriate restraint.
“Ian and Asli were brilliant pet sitters for our puppy. They gave us regular updates and Frank was clearly very happy and settled in their care. He didn’t want to leave when we came to pick him up! We would happily recommend and use them again.”

“Pamela is a fantastic human being, she puts your mind at ease even before your stay. Great communication, daily updates and loads of photo and videos, which I really appreciate because I missed my baby loads. But I know Bruno had fantastic time with Pamela and her family and he was well looked after. I would definitely recommend Pamela to everyone and would book it again. Thank you so much ?”

“If I could give Jade more than 5 stars, I would! Looking after 12 cats isn't for everyone, but Jade took it all in her stride and was absolutely brilliant. She clearly has a genuine love for animals, and I honestly think she enjoyed spending time with them as much as they enjoyed having her there! She didn't just pop in to feed them – she played with them, gave them lots of fuss and attention, and treated each one like they were her own. We came home to a house full of happy, relaxed cats who barely seemed to have noticed we'd been away (which is probably the biggest compliment a cat sitter can get!). It gave us complete peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jade to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely lovely cat sitter. Thank you, Jade – the cats can't wait to have you back (and neither can we!).”
“Andreia was great - really reassuring and looked after my two fussy cats well. We just moved to the area and she put my mind at rest by keeping in touch regularly and sending photos and videos. The house was untouched when I got back as well - I could hardly tell she had been in! Really great first experience. Thank you.”
“Thank you Rory for looking after Tage & Trixie so well. Lovely updates and pics during his care and when we returned the girls didn’t seem to have noticed we’d been away - always a great sign! Rory is very conscientious and goes above and beyond. I would highly recommend Rory and have him back to sit for us any time.”
“Orissa looked after my two Maine Coons while I was on holiday for a few days. This was my first time using rover so I wasn’t really sure what to expect and to be honest I was quite anxious. But after my meet and greet with Orissa, that all changed as she was so lovely to me and the boys and knew exactly what to do right away. While I was away Orissa would regularly send photos and write detailed reports of her visit which were so heartwarming. It reassured me and my partner that the boys were in the best hands. She took care of the boys so well, looking after their food, litter and also our house. When I came back the house was clean and tidy just how we left it. The boys seemed happy too as they had great company and someone to play with. Sometimes they can get lonely on their own so it’s nice to know there’s someone there for them. Overall, Orissa was amazing and would recommend to anyone who needs someone to take care of their furry babies while they’re away.”
“Ava is very friendly and Felix took to her straight away. He seemed happy and well when we got home so obviously enjoyed his time with Ava. She kept in touch and sent photos which was really nice, I never had any concerns. She also left everything clean and tidy which was lovely and appreciated. I will definitely ask for her next time we go away.”
About: I’ve had cats all my life including 3 outdoor cats when I lived with my parents, and 2 indoor cats now. My indoor cats are beautiful (although I’m biased!) as they are Siamese x ragdoll but this also means they’re very chatty and very needy. I’m always up for playing with them and fussing them and they know loads of tricks including: sit, stand, spin, paw, fist bump… the list goes on! They’re also fully harness trained and able to go for walks. So I am fully equipped for whatever set up you and your pets have :)
“Isabella was lovely and warm on arrival, and looked after both of our cats wonderfully. We were sent loads of photos and videos every day during our holiday and she even cleaned up any messes that were left in our absense. Strongly recommend! Thanks so much! ”
“Karen is wonderful, very helpful and understanding when we had to change our travel plans due to the storm, my girls were very relaxed with Karen and lots of photos to put my mind at rest.”
About: Although I've never owned a cat myself, I've always been a cat lover and really enjoy spending time with them. I'm happy to look after your cat while you're away, making sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter tray, and plenty of company and attention. I understand that every cat has their own personality, so I'll take the time to help them feel comfortable, whether they enjoy playing, being stroked, or simply having someone nearby. My aim is to make sure your cat feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for until you return.
“Lucy was absolutely amazing! Helped out at short notice with no hassle or problems. Got back from holiday and the girls looked happy, chilled and well looked after. Thank you so much, Lucy! We will definitely ask for your help in the future if you’re free xx”
About: I used to do agility training with my older dog. I'm also used to dealing with nervous dogs, who sound aggressive. I've helped in training my dogs for commands like sit, along with teaching them to move out of way and some tricks such as paw. I'm currently studying a full time uni course, with in person lectures on Wednesdays and Thursdays, so I have a lot of availability to take care of your dogs I will communicate well with the owner and follow their guidance by asking how they take care of their pet and replicate that because every pet is different. I will walk the dog on the lead, unless I am certain it will come back to me and I am in an enclosed area.

“We met Lucie before going away and she came across as kind, caring, and attentive. Both of our cats took to her straight away, which was very reassuring. While we were away, she kept us updated and sent lovely photos, so we always knew they were in safe hands. Thank you, Lucie, for taking such great care of them, we really appreciate it! 😊”

“Andreia was so lovely with my chi and me! I was really nervous to leave my precious boy as I have never left him before. Andreia reassured me that he would be fine, I went through his basic needs which were all followed during his stay. I had gorgeous photographs sent to me during the time he was with Andreia. If I ever need my boy looking after again in the area I would definitely request to go back to Andreia. ☺️”
“Nancy loved her doggy day care day , nice to go out for the day and not worry about how long you are out for , had lots of pics and videos , she was played with and walked , would highly recommended”
“Milo had a great stay with Sophie, Quinn and Dotty. Sophie was really good with Milo, she took time to meet him before his stay so he would feel more settled when he was dropped off. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to dogs and gave Eva and I lots of really good tips and advice about treats, food, grooming and dog toys and good places to shop for them. During the stay she kept us updated with messages and pictures which is always nice to see thats he's in good hands and having a great time. Milo really enjoyed his stay and will be back again.”
“I spent countless hours searching for someone with real experience handling working dogs, as we have a Border Collie, and it was so important to find the right fit. From the moment I met Dorothy at our meet and greet, I knew she was the one. Enzo absolutely fell in love with her and had such an amazing time during his doggy day care stay. I was looking for a true “home away from home” for him, and that’s exactly what Dorothy provides. She is incredibly knowledgeable, gentle, and patient—her experience really shines through in the way she cares for the dogs. I honestly couldn’t be happier and feel so reassured knowing Enzo is in such great hands.”
“Thank you for having Mylo today. From the initial meet and greet to the time he spent with you today, he had a great time. Thanks also for the fab photos and videos. We look forward to you having him again soon. Kerry”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 5 years old, when my parents adopted our first rescue border collie. Since then, I have grown up with three other rescue dogs, providing me with a wide range of experience with different personalities, natures and needs. I have cared for young active dogs who need plenty of play, rescue dogs with nervous temperaments who require patience and reassurance and senior dogs that need comfort, peace and a slower pace. My dog, Toffee, was diagnosed with CCLD, and I played an active role in managing her care, recovery plan and medications. This taught me how important consistency and routines are for for pets that need that little bit of extra support. I also have plenty of experience dog sitting for family and friends, and have cared for cats, guinea pigs and rabbits. I would love the opportunity to help more loving owners by providing caring, reliable and attentive pet care :) I am currently available most weekdays and weekends, with a flexible schedule. I live with my two parents who are very welcoming pet-lovers themselves. I have one 10-year-old female golden retriever, who lives at a slightly slower pace, but still loves to play. I have a fenced garden and spacious living areas, and your pet will have freedom to roam. I live close to lots of lovely fields, with plenty of room to run around.
“Graham is a super host and Sid gets on great with Graham’s friendly dog Wilf. It’s a lovely location with lots of space to run around. Great communication with Graham as well with plenty of updates. Highly recommended and will book again!”

About: After a health scare & with my boys being much older now, I completed an Animal Care course to gain additional knowledge in animal care. I had a Westie for 16 years & now have a Havachon that we have had for 10 years now. I have built up a good sized portfolio of regular dogs & cats through BARK providing walks, pop ins & stays. *Additional customer reviews can be found on BARK. I am available in the week to walk & the week/weekend to provide pop in visits & day stays at my house. I do go over to France four times per year as we have a small house out there, but this would be discussed with the pet owners. I am offering dog walking, pop ins & day visits to my house. I have a large house & a good sized garden which is fenced & gated with no way to escape. I take my own dog Lola over to another village where there is a lovely long lane where we walk. I have now built up a good sized client base & so I would plan accordingly with your dog or cat & my regular clients.

“Andreia is excellent. Our dogs are always delighted to see her and she is really good with them. She is also completely reliable. Despite having injured her ankle on the morning of dog sitting for us, when she could reasonably have cancelled, she contacted us to explain and still came to complete the visit. I recommend her wholeheartedly.”
About: I like to board animals from one household at a time, providing a luxury service that your pet/pets will appreciate and love! All dogs that had been sharing their days with us, repeat the experience and wag their tails every time they come back! We have the best reviews on Facebook too! After studying animal management and dog-feline behaviour, I worked for many years with big cats as an ecologist. Since then, I worked in different areas of animal welfare feral animals and my favourite; wildlife rehabilitation. I have many years of experience caring for various species while working in the RSPCA and as part of other NGOs around the globe. For the past few years, I have been teaching about animal welfare, animal husbandry and ecology. My expertise focuses on behaviourally challenged cats and dogs as well as caring for different species and life stages (puppy to geriatric) and specific medical conditions (administration of medication). I love meeting the owners and the animals first to break the ice and make a connection! I work from home so, I have plenty of time for socialising and playing outdoors and a lot of love, care and fuss for your babies😍. I have a huge garden where we exercise from the geriatric dogs to the most active ones. This is needed, as we do not let any dogs off the lead when we take them for long walks, for security reasons.
About: What started out as pet sitting for friends and family and now starting to add clients to hopefully one day run my own pet sitting business. I have a love for all animals big and small and experience caring and handling them, from rabbits to horses you name it. I am currently working 4 days a week and looking to become my own boss and come away from this to run a doggy daycare from my own home. I have a 6-foot fence, a tidy garden, and a cosy and welcoming house for your dog to spend his day in while you are at work knowing all their needs are being met.
About: I have experiences of a whole variety of pets. I’ve been around dogs since I was a small child and have walked and sat for: beagles, labradors, west highland terriers, Irish terriers, schitzus, spaniels, schnauzers, sheep dogs, and the list goes on! I have two cats of my own who are beautiful (but obviously I’m biased!). They’re Siamese x ragdoll so very chatty and very needy. They can do lots of tricks including sit, spin, stand, paw, fist bump… I’ve certainly put my psychology training to good use! I’ve also had cats all my life so I’m very familiar with this, too, whether that’s indoor cats or outdoor cats! I also have lots of experience with pet rats as well as chinchillas and have regularly house sat and done check ins for these animals too :) I nearly always work from home and love the company of pets for house sitting, but also love to get out and go for walks - even better if I can do that with a dog or cat! I have experience of a whole variety of different environments and animals. I’ve worked with dogs who get on well with other dogs and also hate other dogs, and also dogs with anxiety and who are very nervous. I’ve also looked after both indoor and outdoor cats in a variety of settings so can easily adapt to you and your pets needs as you see fit :)
About: I've grown up with all kinds of animals such as dogs, cats, hamsters, rats, birds, fish, and turtles. I also have experience with looking after rescue animals and a senior dog, and understand the extra attention that they may sometimes require. I'm currently completely free for the foreseeable future and am happy to come and look after your animals whenever you want! I'd love to spend all of that free time with animals! Please let me know if your pet has any specific needs, Im happy to provide. For example, specific feeding times, allergies, medication (and how to administer), walk lengths, or anything else that I might need to know. I'm very flexible as at the moment this is my only job and I'm happy to work around your requirements! I will always stay in contact with you as often as you would like and will update you with calls, photos, and texts depending on what you would prefer.
About: I absolutely love dogs and welcome any breed and age into my home to make it their home whilst you are away. I have had a range of pets growing up including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and even a duck so I am also able for pop in visits for a wide range of pets! I currently have a 3 year old Cocker Spaniel called Mabel. She is great around other dogs since we regularly look after our friend’s and family’s dogs who range across all different breeds and sizes and she certainly loves the company as much as I do. I can adapt to whatever needs your dog requires and if your dog loves a cuddle then you’ve come to the perfect place 🥰 I promise to send regular pup-dates (if you would like them!) and to love your pooch as much as my own! And of course, plenty of walks are a given! I’m also more than happy to arrange a meet up before you go away should you wish for your pooch to meet me in advance! I work from home so I am around to give your pups plenty of attention during the day. Alternatively I can easily pop in for visits or walks on my lunch break and I am fortunate enough to work flexibly so can ensure they get as long a walk as required. Similarly I can pop in for all other types of pets too! I have a fenced back garden and live near plenty of secure walking spots but can also walk your dog in your local area if you’d prefer. I can also easily crate your dog if required. Regardless of how long I will be looking after your pet I will provide regular updates along with photos so that you can be fully assured that your pet is in great hands!

About: I am definitely a dog person, having had dogs for the last twenty years, The first dog of my married life came from the Dogs Trust when it was NCDL, so that shows how long I have had dogs. All of my furry friends have been a rescue of some kind so i am happy to work with the more 'challenged' doggies. Personally, I am semi-retired, and have had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. The family would be lost without our furry friend. Dogs have always had the run of the houses, but can accommodate any cages if needed, younger dogs have always been caged at night to start with. A large garden, and located next to far reaching fields which is enough for even the most energetic of furry friends. Operating a twice daily feed (after walks) and love giving meaty treats to anyone that visits (Human or canine!)
About: At the dog shelter, I would walk, feed and groom the dogs. I would also spend time with the dogs in their kennels, whilst cleaning their kennels. I’m looking for a side hustle, since at the moment it’s quite difficult finding a part-time job. So my schedule is very flexible and free. I love spending time with any animals, especially dogs, and I enjoy playing with them and trying to teach them new tricks. I’m not easily frightened by dogs and I can understand when a dog needs space, food or a walk.
About: We have a lovely home which is fully secure, we're on an estate that has lovely local walks and your furry friend will be never left alone I work from home and my wife is also at home as she does not work so plenty of opportunities for walking, feeding and toilet duties! We'll try not to over spoil your pet! We have no pets of our own. Our big cuddly boxer dog passed away in March 2023 and we're ready to bring love to your pet whilst your away.
About: Hi, I'm Sophie! 👋 Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them has become my full-time career as well as my passion. With over 20 years of experience looking after dogs of all ages, breeds and personalities, I've proudly been running my own dog care business full-time for the past year. When your dog stays with me, they become part of the family. My aim is to provide a genuine home-from-home environment where they feel safe, relaxed and loved while you're away. Every dog is different, so I tailor their care to suit their individual needs. Whether they love long woodland walks, playing in the garden, sniffing new places, curling up for cuddles or simply relaxing with company, I ensure their routine is followed as closely as possible. I'm fully insured and committed to providing a calm, structured environment where your dog's welfare always comes first. Their safety, happiness and comfort are my highest priorities. 🐾 Before You Book To help provide the highest standard of care for every dog, please note my operating hours before sending an enquiry. **🐶 Doggy Day Care** • Monday – Friday • Drop off from **7:00am** • **Latest collection: 6:00pm** **🏡 Home Boarding** • Drop off & collection between **8:00am – 6:30pm** • Collections after **6:30pm** will require an additional night's boarding, as your dog will remain in my care into the evening. Thank you for respecting these operating hours. They allow me to give every dog the time, attention and routine they deserve. In My Home Your dog won't be treated like they're in kennels—they'll become part of everyday family life.

About: I have had dogs all my life and looked after cats, rodents, chickens and farm animals like pigs, donkeys, horses and goats. I have worked with horses since I was 16 and have done lots of house sitting before. I love being around animals, especially while I am studying at uni and missing my dog! I am currently studying at university, so I can fit in visits or walks between my schedule or housesit with the ability to pop out for lectures. Unfortunately I can’t board animals but happy to spend time with animals in their home. I love walking so always up for giving a dog a decent walk. And generally love to be around animals and giving them the attention they need!
About: I have always cared for animals as my Father was an RSPCA inspector, RAF dog handler and farm worker - So we always had an array of animals to care for at my house. That love for animals has continued as I have had dogs, cats, horses, chickens and sheep all at home. I have been working as a pet sitter a few years now, visiting all different homes to walk, exercise, look after & keep their pets company while their owners are away. My other role as a P/T PA also means I am used to different client requests and I am happy to water plants, collect parcels etc when you are out so just ask! I am highly organised, friendly, helpful and reliable. DBS, insurance and references available. I currently work p/t, so I am available for pet visits and sitting. For regular clients I am also happy to offer last min or emergency visits, as I know what life can throw at us all! I always treat everyones home and pets with love, care and respect - Nothing less will do and nothing is too much trouble. I am an organised perfectionist and always want my clients to know they can count on me while they are away. I also will always plan an initial meet/greet, so we can discuss requirements and I can meet you and your pets. I will go through everything in detail so I am completely clear on what you would like me to do, and I will have a form so I know all medical history, vet details, emergency contacts, feeding schedule, likes/dislikes etc. I always get told when i leave my meet and greets 'Oh I am so relieved, I can go away knowing they are safe and are going to be looked after' Which is what I want my client to feel as that is my job :) I know personally as I have my own animals too and know how i like them and my home to be treated while I am not there.

“So happy to have found Linnet for my first use of Rover. Linnet looked after my 2 dogs for 3 days and they absolutely loved their time with her. Plenty of updates and photos were provided during their stay giving ultimate reassurance. Linnet was really accommodating for both dogs, one of which can be slightly nervous and fussy at dinner times. Two very tired and happy dogs at the end of their stay!”
“Our old doggy Bob stayed with Nigel for two nights. He recently lost his owner and had to relocate to our home so we were looking for a home setting so as not to disturb him too much. We found the perfect place, Nigel was warm and welcoming of us and Bob along with all his little quirks! When we picked him up he had made himself very at home. He certainly had a lot of love whilst he stayed with Nigel, thank you so much for looking after Bob so well. Would thoroughly recommend Nigel as a trusted carer.”
“Grainne was fabulous - she is undoubtedly the best dog sitter we have ever had. Archie is a bit anxious - she was patient and kind. She constantly kept us up to date with photos and messages. I cannot recommend her enough - she absolutely deserves five stars.”
“Graham is very quick to respond to messages. He really put me at ease, as it was my first time using Rover. Ralph had an excellent time and we received messages during his stay which was comforting to know he was happy and safe. Highly recommend Graham.”
“A wonderful stay for our Spaniel! Antonia has a great understanding of dogs and a lovely way with her. Our Springer was really well looked after, he had all his needs met and more! We received regular Pupdates from his adventures and have booked in again for two future stays. Happy Dog, happy humans!”
“Olivia is a great dog border, my dog loves spending time with her and her family; she gets fussed just as much as we do at home. This is my second booking with Olivia and she is going to be our go to for when we travel and are not able to take our dog with us. I would highly recommend her.”
“Ian and Asli were brilliant pet sitters for our puppy. They gave us regular updates and Frank was clearly very happy and settled in their care. He didn’t want to leave when we came to pick him up! We would happily recommend and use them again.”
“Ben has been absolutely brilliant while we were away. We had so many pictures and videos of Alfie and Noah getting up to high jinks and it really put us at ease. He was very communicative throughout and understanding of Alfie’s needs. Alfie looks like he had the best time and was well taken care of.”
“My elderly (but sprightly!) dachshund had a wonderful first stay with Becks. She was treated like one of the family but Becks was also careful to note my advice on her various foibles. She had walks everyday and came back in great spirits. Becks is clearly very professional in her approach but at that same time has a real affinity with her ‘guests’. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Poppy in again.”
“Absolutely amazing. Feel so much better in a home from home setting than boarding him. We had lovely updates and photos. It looked like we were forgotten as soon as I left! He’s made himself right at home. Thank you for looking after our boy for us xxxxx”
About: Both of us have looked after dogs for 10+ years, comfortable handling dogs at all sizes. Enjoy playing and working on a bit of training! Chill secure environment, lots of friends use us to look after their dogs for up to two weeks at a time! We walk our dogs early in the morning before breakfast and after work, we work from home so can check on them regularly. Typically leave the back door open so the dogs can mooch in and out at their leisure. Gardens safe and full of toys for the little ones to enjoy. I have a fenced garden away from main roads, very quiet friendly neighbourhood. We have a young Border Collie type dog who is very friendly to people kids and especially dogs! We have a crate available if needed but are happy to accommodate all sleeping styles and eating routines :)
“I was apprehensive about leaving Bertha with anyone apart from family, we found helen and so glad we did! Bertha was cared for and looked after like their own, I received plenty of updates and photos whilst away that helped to put my mind at ease. Helen is great and I will definitely be booking again for next time!”
“Clear and concise communication from start to finish and super welcoming. Stepped in last minute when we were let down by someone else. Otto looks to have had a fab time from pictures and videos and we will definitely be using Bradley again.”
“It was our first time having a sitter for Spark and I felt really reassured when meeting Tarnya. She clearly has alot of experience with dogs and I knew that Spark would be well looked after. Thanks so much for looking after him, I'm sure he will be back soon!”
“Leah was very responsive and gave us updates about how Hallie was getting on. He seemed comfortable with her and her partner and everything went smoothly, so we would definitely recommend them or use them again! Thank you :)”
“Suzanne and her husband were amazing with Belle over the weekend she stayed with them. Belle can be quite cautious around new people and dogs and it was the first time I'd left her with someone she didn't know well but at our first meeting Suzanne medee feel Cofindant the Belle would be looked after, there were Plenty of photos and updates and On picking up Belle she behaved like she'd had a better weekend break then my partner and I did 😅. Will definitely use Suzanne again and after this experience I would be very reluctant to use any one else”
“Sam was very happy and well looked after with Karina. He had plenty of space inside and out to feel comfortable. I know he was spoilt during his 'holiday' here and will definitely look to return next time. Thanks so much ☺️”
