“We have never left our cockerpoo off with anyone but family! but Stacey was brilliant. Oliver had a lovely time with Stacey’s family, he loves children and other dogs so he was in his element! Thank you for giving us a worry free break where we knew Oliver was in good hands by receiving photos and messages throughout the stay. 10/10 service would highly recommend. Stacey also took this booking very last minute with very quick responses which is very much appreciated! Thank you for looking after Bobby !”
“Shaun and his family looked after my dog so well - he had a wonderful time. They are very caring and they were very happy to walk and play with my dog. I am very grateful and I will certainly be calling on them again. Thank you!”
“Highly recommended dog sitters. Laurie had our whippet over the weekend and he loved his stay. He was very relaxed and happy when we collected him. We received updates and videos on his walks.”
“Our dog jack stayed with Tom and his family for a weekend, Jack was recovering from an operation which hadn't healed very well and needed medication. Tom looked after him extremely well and gave us lots of updates putting us at ease. Jack seemed extremely settled with him. We will definitely be asking Tom to look after Jack again when we're away I'm the future. Couldn't be happier”
“Jakub and family always make our dog feel at home. They've looked after our dog 4 or 5 times now and communication & updates are always good. We trust them to care well for our dog. Thanks!”
“Carla and Jim looked after our 6 month old puppy for the weekend and we couldn’t have been happier with the love and care our Betsy received. We had lots of pupdates with pictures and could see our fur baby was really cared for. We will definitely be using these lovely people again and would highly recommend them.”
“Mandy was amazing and I would have no hesitation in recommending. The only challenge was the dogs didn’t appear to be as excited as they normally are when I return which speaks volumes! I also really appreciated the regular updates, photos and videos.”

“Left Loki and Reggie with their first stay for the one night at Christina’s, keeping me up date with their stay and lots of lovely photos of them really enjoying them selfs, taking them out for a walk, even though it was more like a workout for her. 🤣 With Loki being a super hype active pup who does not stop, she was extremely brilliant with them. 🥰 I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much Christina I’m sure my boys will see you again. 😁 🐕 🐕 ❤️x”
“It's been the 1st time of ever using this kind of service Dainora has been amazing, I was able to notice that Sasha had an amazing time with them, she never showed any kind of anxiety. I'm definitely be using her services again and will highly recommend it to anyone who needs it”
“Very pleased with Gabriella and hope to use her service again. Noodles seemed extremely happy and settled with her. She kept us informed on how he was and sent us pictures of how he was doing. Very positive feedback from us.”
“Kaos really enjoyed his time away, he has some issues with having 1 eye and needing some meds but they looked after him well, even when he got stressed on day one. Calmed and enjoyed the rest of his stay. I would definitely recommend Billie and Kane as they were so understanding and he came back feeling happy and he was so excited when we got back which was lovely as he is heading to 16 years old but can be puppy like but needs the support too, Thank you both, can’t wait to book again..”
“Louise was a complete life saver and we will be forever grateful. Our lovely old man Marley needed an urgent place to stay, and Louise kindly took him in. We were so very lucky to find someone who knew all about the special needs of old dogs. Marley made special friends with Louise's pack, especially James, a beautiful King Charles of a similar age to Marley. Louise kept us up to date with regular news and photos of the pack all hanging out together. Marley was so well cared for, it seemed like he was having a holiday himself. I would not hesitate in recommending Louise, she has that something special that we all look for in the temporary guardian of our furry companions.”
“Peanut had a lovely week with Irina, I was kept updated throughout the week through messages and pictures, Peanut enjoyed all her fuss and attention, would definitely recommend Irina”
“If u ever need to leave your baby-dog even for a short or long time,then do Not hesitate- Eszter is the best person to do so. She is very ,carrying, loving dogs and very professional. She looked after my 2 dogs and they where having a great time . She was communicating with me all the time while i was away.

“Evie was wonderful with my border collie Bear, very friendly, great communication throughout his stay with her and sent photos with updates. We will definitely be using Evie again.”
“Sandra went above and beyond when our train was delayed meaning we would struggle to pick up the dogs on time and she drove the 30 mins each way to drop them off at my daughter’s house. Both dogs seemed to have enjoyed their time with Sandra. Such a shame she is over an hour away from my home.”

“Angie was absolutely amazing with our cat Chandler. From the very first visit, it was clear she genuinely cares and takes her responsibility seriously. She kept us updated during every drop-in with messages and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Chandler was clearly comfortable and well looked after, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. We would 100% book Angie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful sitter.”

About: I have loved caring for pets from a young age and currently cannot own a pet due to personal circumstances. At my family home we had a wide range of pets, from cats, rabbits and chickens to fish. I really miss having animals in my life and consider Rover the perfect solution! I work full-time with flexible working. When planned in advance, I will be available weekday evenings and weekends. My partner has the flexibility to work from home if required. I live with my partner who is equally excited by Rover, he has grown up with family dogs and cats and is comfortable offering a helping hand. We live in a two bedroom house with an enclosed garden and lots of local walking routes.
“Leanne was great with my cats, they can be very timid so she made sure they were all ok at each visit. It made it so much easier to go away and enjoy my holiday knowing the cats would be well looked after. Easy no fuss booking, 5 Star service, would definitely recommend her.”
“First time we have used the Rover app for looking after our two cats and couldn’t recommend Oscar enough. Loved getting photos while we were away. I think Theo was gutted when we got home!”
About: I’ve had cats all my life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I understand that every cat has their own personality, routines, and boundaries, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. From playful kittens to older senior cats who need a gentler approach, I’m confident adapting to each cat’s individual needs.

“Jess C. Was an excellent sitter for Clyde. A very nice and pleasant young lady. She sent us regular reports and photographs. She left the house and a very clean and tidy state.

“Ingrid has been wonderful with Rua. Rua took to her and her husband straight away and loves spending time with them. They have been taking Rua on walks and looking after her for day boarding, and she always comes home happy and tired from all the fun. Ingrid is friendly, reliable, and easy to communicate with. We feel completely comfortable leaving Rua in her care and would highly recommend her.”
“Evie was a huge help in providing fairly last minute daycare for our puppy and were really understanding when we ran late for pick ups. I always worry about leaving our puppy with anyone as they can be hard work to look after, but Evie and her partner were great with him and we received regular updates on how he was getting on. He was happy every time he came home and we would not hesitate to contact Evie again whenever we are in need of puppy care!”

About: Having grown up surrounded by dogs, cats and horses, I understand that they’re more than just pets; they’re cherished members of the family and bring so much joy and happiness. I understand the importance of quality care, compassion and providing a home-from-home experience for your dog. From Dalmatians to dachshunds, every dog is treated with love, kindness and care. I currently have a gorgeous red fox Labrador X vizsla called ‘Hera’, she’s incredibly friendly and loves nothing more than having a playmate for all of our adventures! I’m active and love nothing more than being outside exploring, and I’m fortunate enough to work from home, with a very flexible schedule (allowing for lots of walks and ‘garden zoomies!’ Your dogs comfort, routine and happiness is my top priority and I’m dedicated to accommodating their every requirement. I can’t wait to meet your lovely dogs x I’m fortunate enough to work remotely, from home and with a very flexible schedule, allowing for lots of adventures and garden zoomies! My dog, Hera, typically has 3 walks per day come rain or shine! I have a large, secure garden and live in a rural setting, with immediate access to countryside walks. If I’m walking a dog from your home, I’ll always research the local area to find the best walks and love nothing more than discovering new paths with a four-legged fur baby for company!
About: I’ve struggled myself to find the right home to look after my precious boys. I offer a home from home setting where your dog(s) will receive lots of cuddles and lots of playtime. We have two male cockapoos, one of which is of senior age. We have previously had Great Danes (gorgeous breed) and have grown up round a variety of breeds. We have two children age 10 and 13 who have grown up around animals and absolutely love dogs and if your dog wants to run around with smaller humans they’re all for it. I work from home part time so I’m available for cuddles on the sofa and they can play freely with open access to the enclosed garden. We will accommodate so that everything is familiar to what they are used to for example sleeping in the kitchen, sleeping in a bedroom, being on furniture and so forth. We have a Vets locally who our dogs are registered with and plenty of green areas for dogs to have good walks. Any questions please feel free to ask. I know they are your babies and we will take great care of them. I work from home part time and I’m kept company by my two cockerpoos; one who is old and quite happily chills and the other who is seven and can always be encouraged to play. We have a secure enclosed garden where they will have access to play freely. We have lots of walks and greenery close by so they don’t have to do the same route all the time and can adapt the walks we take to your dogs needs.
About: I have one dog aged just over 1 years old that I absolutely adore! I love dogs so am happy to constantly give your dog lots of love and attention as well as plenty of walks and play time! I have always had a dog from different sizes and ages so am confident I can take care of any dog that I am blessed to look after! When looking after your dog after a fun day of playing I love sitting down in front of the fire and snuggling up with them! I am a keen runner so if your dog needs loads of walks and needs to keep active I am happy to take them on a jog or a very long hike to keep them engaged!
“Many thanks Tom and your lovely family, for taking good care of Daisy yesterday. Our labradoodle is 11 now and it’s the 1st occasion we have left her with Tom. He sent through some lovely photos of Daisy with the children, which was very reassuring and gave us the confidence to know that she had settled in and will be fine when we leave her again. Hopefully next time the weather will be less soggy for your walks !”
About: I have owned and looked after dogs for the past 25 years. I have a first class honours degree in psychology where animal behaviour was in each semester. I have a pet first aid and CPR NVQ certificate and I am fully insured. My home is very spacious and I am home all day everyday. SHDC licence - AWL00122 I work very flexibly from home. Thus, I can be there with your dog 24/7 if needed. I love walking my dog on nearby fields (I keep on a leash but have a loose 10m lead). Snuggles on the sofa in the evening and on hot summer days, the doggy pool and hose pipe come out for play time (or your pet can chill inside). I will treat your pet as my own. I have always been a god lover. We have 3 toy baskets and lots of places for quiet time if needed.
“I had a great experience with Carla and Jim! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care. From the start, they were incredibly friendly and approachable, which immediately put me at ease. They arranged a meet and greet beforehand, which was a really thoughtful touch and helped both me and my dog feel comfortable before the stay as it was my first time using Rover. During the time they were looking after my dog, they provided regular updates and photos, which was so reassuring and showed how well my dog was being cared for. It was clear that my dog was happy, relaxed, and getting plenty of attention. I really appreciated the level of care and communication throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Carla and Jim again and would definitely recommend them to other dog owners looking for someone trustworthy and kind to look after their pet! Thank you!”
About: I’ve had experience with a variety of dogs throughout childhood, but have raised labradors from puppies in my adult life. Whilst having the opportunity to be at home through the week, the biggest thing I can offer you is my time and dedication; I love all breeds and no requirement is too small. Please feel free to get in touch, even if just for a chat! My long term plans involve completing my studies to become a mental health practitioner, so I have a lot of home availability and wanted to fill my time with something that I’m really passionate about. I have a fenced garden, security cameras and a friendly Labrador to keep your dog company and entertained! I’m always attentive to making sure Toby is fed, has access to water bowls, and acknowledging communication and signals for their biological needs and play schedules! Very happy to do a meet and greet to see how you, and perhaps most importantly, your dog feels in our environment!

“Angie is EXCELLENT! From initial contact communication was great, we needed someone to walk our dog for initially 4 days then extended it 8 which she accommodated for us. The initial meet & greet went brilliant, our dog Iggi can be reticent with people she doesn’t know but immediately warmed to Angie. She excitedly greeted her when going on a walk and Angie always sent a little report with each walk and a couple of photos. Iggi came back from each walk sated and happy. We cannot praise Angie highly enough and will use her in future when we are in the area visiting family & friends”

Given this we are fully equipped to care for ur dogs in our home or I have a licence and can travel as needed.
About: I had a golden retriever growing up so I shared walking and feeding duties with my other family members. Now I live independently, I often have my friends and family members’ dogs stay in my home or I go to their house to dogsit so I have experience with a variety of dogs and their different characters. I also have my own pets - 2 degus, a bearded dragon, a snake and a gecko. I often have my mum’s tortoise staying as well while she’s on holiday! I worked in a pet shop for three years where I completed training on dog nutrition and behaviour, and spoke with a wide range of customers about their pets’ quirks. I work full time but working from home is an option, so I can plan my schedule to make sure I’m home with any dogs so they’re not left on their own all day. I have a medium sized garden with secure 6-foot fencing. I’m happy to crate the dog/s if you can provide their crate, but otherwise they will be free to roam the house.

“Today Oscar visited us again, my dogs recognised him immediately and were very happy of seeing him again. This time after walking my 2 boxers together he also helped me to teach them how to use a special stair for the car boot which I have recently purchased. I can tell that the whole experience was very positive. I learn a lot from Oscar every time on how to interact with my dogs, how to create an easy going environment for the future. Visibly he has a wealth of knowledge on training dogs and control them with kindness, calmness and good energy.”
About: I’ve had pets ever since I was little and loved looking after them. I absolutely love nature and all animals (I don’t eat meat and my dream is to save the environment). My dogs, Sky and Lolly, and my cat, Ivy, are my whole world so I know how scary it is to leave your fur-baby with someone new. I am absolutely dedicated to making sure that all animals in (and out of) my care are well looked after and feel safe and loved! I’ve got a big heart and can’t resist looking after any animal I come across. I’m currently working part time so I can be available for walks and boarding most evenings/ Thursdays and Fridays during the day. Availability: Monday: evenings Tuesday: N/A Wednesday: evenings Thursday: daytime/evenings Friday: daytime/evenings Saturday: *daytime/evenings (usually depends on the week)* Sunday: evenings I have an enclosed garden which is a decent size. I also have a very friendly pug/shih tzu cross who would be more than happy to keep your fur-baby company. (I also have a cat who is friendly but pretty much keeps herself to herself). Pets are allowed on the furniture. I’m very vigilant about pet safety.
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 5 years old, and to me, they’re more than pets—they’re family. My best friend growing up was Mikey, a lovable West Highland Terrier who stole everyone’s heart. After he passed, I realized just how special the bond between a dog and their human really is. That inspired me to help others feel confident leaving their furry friends in good hands. With years of experience, you’re not just getting someone who knows dogs—you’re getting someone who loves them. I’ve successfully trained all my own pups and taken part in multiple K-9 training sessions, which gave me the skills (and patience!) to guide pups of all personalities. I’m all about trust, care, and making sure your best friend feels safe, happy, and loved—just like they deserve. I currently work afternoon shifts, which means my mornings are wide open for quality time with your pup! I have a set schedule for the rest of the year, so planning ahead and making reliable arrangements is super easy. Whether it’s a morning walk, playtime, or just some company while you’re away, I’ve got the time and flexibility to be there for your dog. Hi there! I’m a trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely pet-loving individual with years of hands-on experience. Over the years, I’ve never run into a single issue—just happy pets and even happier owners! I believe communication is key, so I always send regular updates, photos, and check-ins to give you peace of mind while you’re away. You’ll always know your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for—and your home is in good hands too. Cleanliness is super important to me (my flat is always spotless—dust doesn’t stand a chance!), and I bring that same level of care and respect into your home. I also offer flexible pet-sitting packages to fit your schedule and needs—whether it’s daily visits, overnight stays, or just some extra playtime while you’re at work. Let’s find the perfect setup for you and your furry friend!

Courtney displays kindness and friendliness, and intelligence in caring for animals. My dog has been happy and waggy-tailed to see Courtney for a walk!”
About: I grew up with lots of animals like a tiny farm and since going to university, I have missed it :( I always go to my family house where there is 5 cats, 2 goldens and 10 chickens and 1 rabbit. May sound like a lot but there is never a moment of boredom. I work in Boston, 8:30-17:00 Monday to Friday. Please take that into consideration when booking me as it doesn’t not let me edit my work schedule into the app. Anytime after 17:30, if you want your dog walking I would be happy too. I really enjoy going on walks with dogs. I have a fenced garden and love going on walks. Dogs and cats are allowed on furniture so they have many places to venture and relax :)
About: Hi I’m Helen, I have around 5 years of dog walking & sitting experience. I previously lived in London & have been in Peterborough for around 2 years. I am a counsellor in training. Although I’m interested in the human psyche, I have always been interested in animal behaviour & how they respond to us as humans. I recommend The Misunderstood Dog by Jordan Rothman if you want to build a better connection & more predictable behaviours with your animals. I’m an experienced dog walker with some training skills. I’ve also done a bit of dog sitting. I am mostly available evenings & weekends to help walk & sit dogs, however I can occasionally do some weekday afternoons if they are well behaved dogs. I have looked after dogs for over 4 years now as I love dogs. I have a Parrotlet of our own who has an awesome personality & enjoys learning new tricks. His name is Pickle. I’d also like to continue walking local dogs. I enjoy spending time with dogs & helping them to stay mentally & physically active.

“Shaun and his family looked after my dog so well - he had a wonderful time. They are very caring and they were very happy to walk and play with my dog. I am very grateful and I will certainly be calling on them again. Thank you!”
“Mandy was amazing and I would have no hesitation in recommending. The only challenge was the dogs didn’t appear to be as excited as they normally are when I return which speaks volumes! I also really appreciated the regular updates, photos and videos.”
“Very pleased with Gabriella and hope to use her service again. Noodles seemed extremely happy and settled with her. She kept us informed on how he was and sent us pictures of how he was doing. Very positive feedback from us.”
“Kaos really enjoyed his time away, he has some issues with having 1 eye and needing some meds but they looked after him well, even when he got stressed on day one. Calmed and enjoyed the rest of his stay. I would definitely recommend Billie and Kane as they were so understanding and he came back feeling happy and he was so excited when we got back which was lovely as he is heading to 16 years old but can be puppy like but needs the support too, Thank you both, can’t wait to book again..”
“Peanut had a lovely week with Irina, I was kept updated throughout the week through messages and pictures, Peanut enjoyed all her fuss and attention, would definitely recommend Irina”

“Sandra went above and beyond when our train was delayed meaning we would struggle to pick up the dogs on time and she drove the 30 mins each way to drop them off at my daughter’s house. Both dogs seemed to have enjoyed their time with Sandra. Such a shame she is over an hour away from my home.”
“Another successful stay … our pack of greyhounds are welcomed into their home and thoroughly spoilt with attention, walks and liver cake. I suspect it’s like visiting your favourite aunt and uncle :-)”

“Carment and her family looked after my German Short Haired Pointers over the bank holiday weekend. They were very welcoming when I dropped Otto and Henry off and I left feeling happy and confident that they would be well looked after. Their house is lovely with planty of space for the dogs and a great garden. Carmen snet me losts of videos and photos over the weekend showing Otto and Henry having a great time in the garden and on walks. I could tell when I picked them up theat they'd been well looked after and had got on well with the other dogs. I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend Carmen to anyone looking for a great home for their dogs to stay. Thank you Carmen. We''ll be back!”
“Amazing service, our dog couldn’t have been in better hands, they went over and beyond our expectations and we would be delighted to use their service whenever we need a dog sitter. Great communication and photos throughout the stay and excellent care and attention given . Thank you once again”
“Having needed to get my greyhound Rummy in somewhere for the weekend whilst I was away, I could not have been more lucky that Kane was available. After having never boarded Rummy in someone else's home I was a bit anxious but after conversing with Kane and then taking Rummy and seeing where he was staying those worries evaporated. Rummy settled in straight away. Kane kept me updated a couple of times a day and asked what my preference would be for the number of updates which I thought was very kind. When picking Rummy up he was pleased to see me but I could tell he'd had a great time. I have a very content dog and will 100% be using Kane in the future.”

“Helen looked after both our dogs at short notice, after an initial meeting with the dogs where Helen interacted with both of our dogs and then looked after them a week later Helen communicated with us brilliantly with photos of the dogs on walks and what they were doing in Helen’s house Helen administered our larger dogs medication as he’s just had an operation and also was great as we were waiting for scan results for him and could easily of not looked after them but Helen loved the company and both of our dogs loved the attention We would have no hesitation in recommending Helen or booking again and have already seen about them going back to Helen for when we move property Thanks Helen for doing a brilliant job with them both much appreciated”
“Bradley and pip were amazing with Callie! They truly spoiled her and treated her like one of their own, she went on lots of runs and outings. Lots of reassuring photos and videos were sent. Callie has had so much fun that she isn’t happy to be home and away from her new friends. We will definitely be using again!”
“Rory has been with Rachel once again. He really enjoys his stay with Rachel and Trixie. Long walks, visits to dog play areas are right up his street. We thank you for taking care of him while we are away and Rory is already looking forward to his next visit in a few weeks time. I would definitely recommend Rachel as a dog carer to anyone.
