“This was the first time we had left Olly with Sheila. We collected him after 2 weeks and he seems to have had great fun with the other dogs and Sheila's family. We received updates and a video of how he was doing which was really nice to see. We would not hesitate to use Sheila again. 9th August 2015”
About: I've had dogs since I was 16 years old. My Mum first got a yorkshire terrier at this age! I've just lost my Collie x Dalmatian that I had from a pup, she lived to be 17. I have looked after my families' dogs including a golden retreiver, cockapoo, yorkshire terrier, dog de bordeux, belgian mallionois, american bull mastiff and my own collie x dalmatian. I currently work part-time and have weekends free so I'll have plenty of time to look after and play wuth you fur-babies. I've just lost my dog I had for 17years who was a collie x dalmatian. I have lots of cuddle and love to give! I have a fenced garden which are 6 foot, and a three bedroom house. I have a small park up the road and I am round the corner from Hadleigh Country Park! I have two Adult children and live with them and my husband.
About: I’ve always had pets in my family home and we currently have 2 dogue de bordeaux’s! All of the dogs we have owned have lived with us until they passed, meaning I have experience with puppies through to seniors! As well as this, I have always had large dog breeds, the biggest being 2 Newfoundlands, so I am able to cope with many challenges our pets can throw our way. I’m a university student currently at home for the summer which makes me perfect for caring for your pets! I absolutely love getting out and about so I’d love to take your dog for a lovely new walk! I have a fenced in back garden and two loving female French Mastiffs, they’re giant teddy bears with no prior issues with other animals! If you would prefer for me to sit inside your home, I will be happy to leave my two at home as my partner will be there, do not feel like they are necessary as well! :)
“Ria and Greg had been amazing dog sitters for our Gem. I was anxious because I was leaving Gem for first time for 5 days. They put me at ease and assured me they will take care of him and make him comfortable. The moment I left their home they started sending me photos and videos of Gem settling in . Throughout I got regular updates about Gem from morning to night. They took him on regular walks and he also had the company of their lovely dog Nala. I would definitely use them in future. Ria and Greg are really welcoming and easy to communicate with. Thank you Ria and Greg.”
“Catriona was great, lots of lovely updates and great communication which made the whole process really easy from start to finish. Bronson was very comfortable and happy in her care. Can home a happy tired pooch. Her home is clean, tidy and very dog friendly. Would definitely use Catriona in the future.”
“Dolly had a fabulous time staying with the lovely Donna and Neil. She’s quite a nervous dog so we were worried how she would settle but Donna and Neil were so accommodating. Cannot recommend their services highly enough just perfect we’re so happy we found them xx”
“Dean was an excellent Dogsitter. He very kindly provided daily updates and our dog was clearly very happy with him. Loved seeing her chilling and playing at his home and will definitely be using him again Thanks Dean!”
“Sammy was Ultra reliable Ultra responsive and a lifesaver frankly. It was a proper last-minute.com because I completely forgot before my holiday to board my dog in an organised way. Thankfully Sammy came to the rescue. Highly recommended. James.”
“Lovely lady, friendly, approachable. Excellent communication. Looked after my 5 month old German Shepard x Doberman wonderfully! Lots of attention, and playing. Nothing was too much trouble. Listened to our worries and concerns, took them on board, and sent us feedback and pictures throughout her stay. Would definatly recommend Hannah! & im sure Muffin would love to return too! Thankyou for looking after Muffin!”
“Brilliant service, we asked Rebecca if she was able to have hector for 2 days started that evening as we was let down by a friend and she was more than happy to help ! She always kept us updated on how hector was doing with regular pictures and messages and very quick responses. We will deffinitly use Rebecca again xx”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of a wonderful 5-year-old Cockapoo, so caring for dogs is a big part of my everyday life. I also have plenty of experience with dogs within my wider family and friends and am very comfortable around different personalities and temperaments. Dogs really are like children to me (and, if I’m honest, I often prefer them to humans!). I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you can trust, so I’ll always treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. That means lots of attention, affection, walks, playtime and, of course, plenty of cuddles. As a dog owner myself, I understand all the little things that matter — sticking to routines, keeping them happy and comfortable, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owner is away. 🐾 I work from home, which means I’m around throughout the day to give your dog plenty of company, attention and affection. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily fit in regular walks, toilet breaks, playtime and cuddles throughout the day. Having my own dog means that walks and doggy routines are already a natural part of my day. I love having four-legged company while I work, and your dog will be treated like part of the family rather than simply being looked after. 🐾 Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness will always be my priority. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know that your dog is in safe and caring hands. I work from home, so dogs in my care will have plenty of supervision and company throughout the day. I’ll always follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding times, walks, toilet breaks and any specific instructions you provide. I have a fenced garden for the dogs to enjoy. I’m very attentive to each dog’s individual personality and needs and will make sure they have a comfortable, relaxed environment with lots of affection and attention. I’ll treat your dog just as I would want someone to treat my own — like one of the family. 🐾
About: I’ve had dogs for many years, my last two Westies passed away over the last two years sadly, I’m now retired, live next to a large area of green belt, and miss the walks and cuddles, but since I too like to have holidays feel I couldn’t afford to have dogs and holidays. I feel this is a good solution for us all, I get my doggy fix and you get a great Nanny for your dog and a loving hime whilst you go away with no worries. I’m retired, but go out nearly every morning for one hour to church. I do 2hrs voluntary work on one day a week. A dog would be part of my family, will only be crated at owners request. Owner to supply their bed so they have something of their own. I have fully fenced garden. I would always need to meet the pet first and owner to find out the routine and likes and dislikes….. and any of their habits etc. inc medication if necessary. I live next to a large area of green belt and can offer walks either there or in the street.
“Sandra and Mike are wonderful sitters and they treated our working cocker Thandi like royalty. She had plenty of long country walks and was really well looked after throughout her stay. Their home is clean and secure with a big garden for Thandi to play in. Highly recommended ;-)”
“This was only the second time Bertie has been with a dog sitter. He is only just 9 months old and in general very well behaved. However, for whatever reason he really does play hard to get, when you try to put his harness on - he loves his walks so , am not sure why he is like this! I know Helen found him difficult too in this respect (anyone would!) , but she thinks he will outgrow this as he gets older. I think he had a fantastic time with Helen. He obviously enjoyed all the playing and the walks - Helen sent me a lovely film of him in the woods - one of his favourite places to go ! I would not hesitate to contact Helen in the future , should we need dog care again. Thank you very much.”
“Max had a fab time at Rebecca’s. He was taken out for a walk and a swim and I got lots of regular updates. Would definitely book in again and highly recommend Rebecca for looking after your dog. A real animal lover!”
“Roberta was fantastic at looking after my Mini Poodle, Leo. She only takes care of one dog at a time, which made me feel so comfortable knowing Leo had her attention alongside her own little Pomeranian, Casper. Her home is perfect for dogs, with a secure and safe garden where Leo could play. Roberta was incredibly attentive and very flexible with our schedule. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter and will definitely use her again!!”
“Beverley was absolutely wonderful looking after our dog, Lola. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease knowing Lola would be in safe and caring hands. She was friendly, reliable, and went out of her way to make sure Lola was happy and well looked after. We could tell Beverly genuinely loves animals, and that gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter.”

“My dog Shane can be a little bit nervous with new people in the house, but Emily quickly calmed him down and he has really enjoyed his time with her. Emily is the first dogsitter I've booked through Rover and I've been really impressed. Emily is polite, professional and clearly has a real interest in making sure the dogs have a good time as well as putting the owners at ease while they are out.”
“Lucy was absolutely fantastic looking after Fred and I will certainly be booking Lucy again. Lucy gave me a detailed daily update on Fred after each visit and spent time with him, giving him his medicine but also giving him cuddles and attention. I came home to a very happy and contented cat. Thank you so much for looking after Fred.”
“Alyce is so understanding and helped with a last minute booking, absolutely life saver!! Kept me feeling at ease knowing that Bronson was okay! She really understands Bronson and his way of showing love Thank you so much for everything :)”
About: I have owned dogs for most of my life up until recently and have cared for dogs for my family and friends. I am a veterinary student and have lots of experience with a wide variety of animals and knowledge on husbandry and animal care. I am available at weekends and evenings.

“Another brilliant cat sitting service provided by Maria. She is amazing and my cat is so happy and relaxed, even when I get home she is so happy. Thank you so much Maria for a great service. Xx ”
About: I have always loved dogs and wanted my own one for many years. I finally adopted a tiny little pup in 2018. I’d like to use Rover to help others with small dog care as I know you want to leave your dog with someone who cares as much about them as you do. I'm fairly easy going and patient. I often take care of my friends dogs when they go away so have experience taking care of 2-3 small dogs at a time, though my preference would be just to have one other during the day when I’m working from home and at weekends. Happy to walk any size dog as long as they are good walking on a lead. Will only care for small dogs in my own home as I have a small dog. I work from home 4 days a week and can be available short notice for local walks in Leigh On Sea. Ideally walks before 9am, around lunchtime and after 6pm weekdays. Weekends available on an adhoc basis I have a small secure fenced garden with a metal staircase that leads down to it, so your pup will be safe to roam freely in the garden.
About: Hi, I’m Larnie! I’ve had cats my entire life and caring for them is something I’m truly passionate about. I currently have four cats of my own, including a kitten that I raised from birth. I also cared for and raised a litter of four kittens, helping them grow into healthy, happy cats before finding loving homes for them. Through this experience, I’ve learned how to care for cats of different ages, personalities, and needs. Whether your cat loves attention and playtime or prefers a quieter approach, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your cats with the same love and care that I give my own.
About: I'm a warm, dependable animal lover based in Basildon. I've looked after cats for friends, family and neighbours — feeding, fresh water, litter, play and plenty of gentle company. I'm calm and patient, follow feeding and routine instructions carefully, and send regular photo updates so you know your cat is happy and settled while you're away
About: I absolutely love dogs! We have had dogs in our lives for many years. We now have a Jack Russell terrier who is the friendliest dog ever! She loves having her furry friends around to play bless her and she is looking forward to meeting new friends! We have a fairly large garden for your dog to play in when back from walkies. I love to take my dog on walks to the beach or to the large fields, both if which are close to our house. I am a stay at home mum so have plenty of time to give fuss and attention to your dog (just as I do with my attention needy pooch!) We usually have a longer walk in the morning to the beach and in the afternoon go for one or two shorter 20/30 minute strolls but I can adjust to the specific needs of your dog. I have a securely fenced garden and when we're not on a walk, my pooch spends most of the time wandering in and out of the house into the garden or chilling and napping on the sofa. She is looking forward to a furry friend joining her!

“Lorna recently looked after our Jack Russell, Toby, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she gave him. From the moment we met her, she was warm, friendly, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took the time to get to know Toby and made sure he felt comfortable and settled. It was obvious throughout that she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Toby came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lorna to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Toby – we’ll definitely be booking with you again!”

I have experience with puppies and young dogs alike and am always happy to match their energy and needs.

“The best review I can leave is how much Bertie loves being out with Kathy. He can be quite nervous on lead and that makes him a little reactive, but with Kathy he has moved forward leaps and bounds, even happy to walk with her dog. We did originally just book Kathy for a short term but now Bertie goes out with her regularly. Couldn’t be happier ☺️”
About: I’ve looked after animals for as long as I can remember — it’s not just something I do, it’s who I am. I’m at home full-time, which means I can give animals the time, attention, and care they truly deserve. Whether it’s keeping them safe, happy, well-fed, exercised, or simply keeping them company, their wellbeing always comes first. I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and loved. From quiet cuddles to playtime and daily care, I treat every animal as if they were my own. If you’re looking for someone reliable, patient, and genuinely devoted to animals, you can rest easy knowing they’ll be in caring hands with me. It will fit in because I am a stay at home mum and my children are older so it is just me looking after the pets. I have fenced garden and outdoor cattery and locked and I have security cameras over the property. The animals have a large Area to relax and exercise.
About: As a Fear Free Level 2 Certified veterinary professional, I prioritise creating a calm, positive experience for every pet in my care. I’ve looked after animals of all ages and temperaments, including energetic puppies and senior pets with special needs. I’m confident with administering medications, supporting pets with anxiety, and maintaining consistent routines that make animals feel safe and loved. Throughout my veterinary education, I’ve been actively involved in learning about animal behaviour—attending puppy classes in my spare time during clinical rotations to deepen my understanding and practical skills. My veterinary background, combined with my Fear Free certification and hands-on experience, sets me apart from other sitters. I bring a calm, gentle approach and tailor my care to each pet’s emotional and physical needs. I’m observant, detail-oriented, and genuinely love building trust with animals—whether it’s through play, cuddles, or quiet companionship. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and notes, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in caring hands. Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly routine. I’m currently working from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. As a Fear Free Certified veterinary professional, I’m used to structuring my time around animal wellbeing and always make sure each pet gets the time, engagement, and comfort they need. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s usual routine to keep things calm and familiar for them. Whether I’m caring for pets in their own home or mine, their safety and emotional wellbeing are always my top priorities. As a Fear Free Certified veterinary professional, I’m trained to recognise signs of stress and respond in a calm, reassuring way that helps pets feel secure. I take time to build trust through gentle handling, positive reinforcement, and sticking to familiar routines. In a pet owner's home, I’m respectful of the space and follow all instructions closely—whether that’s feeding, medication, walk routines, or specific behavioural cues. I maintain a clean, hazard-free environment and keep pets mentally and physically engaged while also ensuring they get time to rest and feel at ease. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

I also cared for and raised a litter of four kittens, helping them grow into happy, healthy cats before finding homes for them. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding each pet’s individual needs. I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending time with them, so you can be confident that your pets will be cared for with the same love and attention that I give my own. I have recently finished college, which means I currently have a very flexible schedule and can provide visits throughout the week. I’m available most days, with limited availability on Saturday afternoons and Sunday midday. I aim to work locally so I can be reliable and responsive for both regular and last-minute bookings. From September, my availability may become more limited as I move home, but I will continue offering pet services and will keep my schedule updated. The safety, comfort, and wellbeing of every pet in my care is my top priority. I believe pets are happiest when their usual routine is maintained, so I aim to provide calm, reliable care tailored to their individual needs. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs and currently have four cats and one dog of my own. For pet visits ,I can provide feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning - cats - , playtime, companionship, and medication if required with clear instructions. I understand that every pet has a different personality, and I will always respect their boundaries while making sure they feel safe and cared for. If boarding is required, I have a large secure fenced garden for dogs and an enclosed outdoor area for cats providing a safe environment for pets. I am also working towards creating an even better dedicated space for pet care in my home. Throughout every booking, I provide regular photo and video updates, and I’m always happy to keep owners informed for extra peace of mind. I will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own.
About: I have taken care of people’s pets for many years and have loved every minute. I have worked within the agricultural industry and carry an extended advanced diploma in animal care and management. In this time, I also provided care for their little fur babies. I also provided house/dog sitting services in this time and always provide the best care for both pets and home. I often take my own little doggy to country parks to explore. I currently work in the ambulance service on a shift rota so have plenty of free time. From early mornings to late nights! If I can help you I will! I always provide the best care for you pet, always considering their individual needs, age and temperament. I take pride in making sure I keep everyone’s home in top order, whether that’s if I’m just popping in or staying the night!
“Courtney took our 40kg Kangal puppy out for a nighttime stroll whilst my wife and I were out at a concert. Seems Sully must like Courtney as apparently he walked really well with his head collar! It gave us peace of mind to get a message from Courtney to say he was lovely and put back to bed. The Rover card is great too, with a cute photo of our boy all dressed and ready for his walk. We've already booked Courtney again!”
About: I’ve got years of experience working with and owning dogs of all breeds, I have knowledge of training, and behaviour of dogs. I’ve worked with dogs from puppies to elderly.

My daily availability is from 8:50am-5pm and weekends I can be available from 8am-7:30pm I care for pets like I care for my own, with love attention and respect. I take the time for other peoples pets to become comfortable with myself and learn their behaviour to know they are happy and content. I’ll keep to their usual routines, and make sure they have lots of engaging fun during my time with them.
About: I have grown up with dogs from the age of 6, at 11 my father obtained a farm and i learnt a substantial amount about animal care. From feeding to delivering new animals into the world i have done it all. Dogs and Cats have always had a soft spot in my heart and i am very understanding that they have emotions to. Kittens and Puppies aren't just for Christmas they are for life. I work 3 days a week and have the rest to schedule in so please ask. Flexibility is key. As long as people are honest with me and give me enough time to schedule them in i can work out slots for eveyone. I have my Cat Boo she is a exotic shorthair and i care for her to the fullest she is a very relaxed and happy Cat.
About: I have lived around Dogs and Cats all my life. I have a very caring nature, for the last 16 years I have lived and worked in Africa working on Conservation Projects., mainly Cheetah. I have experience with dog walking, I love to walk so long walks are no problem for me, house sitting and looking after your wonderful house and making sure it is clean and tidy, happy to water plants indoors and outside. I love looking after cats and giving them the necessary fuss and attention. I have also taken care of fish, rabbits, gerbils, guinea pigs. For housesitting I am happy to travel a distance. I am a non smoker and have my own car. Your house and pets would be looked after in a very caring way, you would not need to worry whilst away from them. I work from home so am very flexible with my time, ensuring I give your pet the greatest care and attention possible. Your pet will feel very welcomed and loved whilst you are away. I do not offer the service of having pets in my home. However, whilst I am in your home I will always check that the pet is safe.
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals over many years and i will treat them like one of my own and spoil them and care for them like how you want me to. I’m currently working part time, so I got plenty of time to care for you pups! I’m can be very flexible and listen you and your pets needs, wants and much more. All pets needs to good around children. I am fully insured and DBS checked and I’m focus on a one to one service. I have a garden but I will take you pups on many adventures and spoil them.
About: I have always loved dogs and wanted my own one for many years. I finally adopted a tiny little pup in 2018. I’d like to use Rover to help others with small dog care as I know you want to leave your dog with someone who cares as much about them as you do. I'm fairly easy going and patient. I often take care of my friends dogs when they go away so have experience taking care of 2-3 small dogs at a time, though my preference would be just to have one other during the day when I’m working from home and at weekends. Happy to walk any size dog as long as they are good walking on a lead. Will only care for small dogs in my own home as I have a small dog. I work from home 4 days a week and can be available short notice for local walks in Leigh On Sea. Ideally walks before 9am, around lunchtime and after 6pm weekdays. Weekends available on an adhoc basis I have a small secure fenced garden with a metal staircase that leads down to it, so your pup will be safe to roam freely in the garden.

“This was the first time we had left Olly with Sheila. We collected him after 2 weeks and he seems to have had great fun with the other dogs and Sheila's family. We received updates and a video of how he was doing which was really nice to see. We would not hesitate to use Sheila again. 9th August 2015”
About: I’ve always had pets in my family home and we currently have 2 dogue de bordeaux’s! All of the dogs we have owned have lived with us until they passed, meaning I have experience with puppies through to seniors! As well as this, I have always had large dog breeds, the biggest being 2 Newfoundlands, so I am able to cope with many challenges our pets can throw our way. I’m a university student currently at home for the summer which makes me perfect for caring for your pets! I absolutely love getting out and about so I’d love to take your dog for a lovely new walk! I have a fenced in back garden and two loving female French Mastiffs, they’re giant teddy bears with no prior issues with other animals! If you would prefer for me to sit inside your home, I will be happy to leave my two at home as my partner will be there, do not feel like they are necessary as well! :)
“Ria and Greg had been amazing dog sitters for our Gem. I was anxious because I was leaving Gem for first time for 5 days. They put me at ease and assured me they will take care of him and make him comfortable. The moment I left their home they started sending me photos and videos of Gem settling in . Throughout I got regular updates about Gem from morning to night. They took him on regular walks and he also had the company of their lovely dog Nala. I would definitely use them in future. Ria and Greg are really welcoming and easy to communicate with. Thank you Ria and Greg.”
“Catriona was great, lots of lovely updates and great communication which made the whole process really easy from start to finish. Bronson was very comfortable and happy in her care. Can home a happy tired pooch. Her home is clean, tidy and very dog friendly. Would definitely use Catriona in the future.”
“Dolly had a fabulous time staying with the lovely Donna and Neil. She’s quite a nervous dog so we were worried how she would settle but Donna and Neil were so accommodating. Cannot recommend their services highly enough just perfect we’re so happy we found them xx”
“Dean was an excellent Dogsitter. He very kindly provided daily updates and our dog was clearly very happy with him. Loved seeing her chilling and playing at his home and will definitely be using him again Thanks Dean!”
“Sammy was Ultra reliable Ultra responsive and a lifesaver frankly. It was a proper last-minute.com because I completely forgot before my holiday to board my dog in an organised way. Thankfully Sammy came to the rescue. Highly recommended. James.”
“Lovely lady, friendly, approachable. Excellent communication. Looked after my 5 month old German Shepard x Doberman wonderfully! Lots of attention, and playing. Nothing was too much trouble. Listened to our worries and concerns, took them on board, and sent us feedback and pictures throughout her stay. Would definatly recommend Hannah! & im sure Muffin would love to return too! Thankyou for looking after Muffin!”
“Brilliant service, we asked Rebecca if she was able to have hector for 2 days started that evening as we was let down by a friend and she was more than happy to help ! She always kept us updated on how hector was doing with regular pictures and messages and very quick responses. We will deffinitly use Rebecca again xx”
“This was only the second time Bertie has been with a dog sitter. He is only just 9 months old and in general very well behaved. However, for whatever reason he really does play hard to get, when you try to put his harness on - he loves his walks so , am not sure why he is like this! I know Helen found him difficult too in this respect (anyone would!) , but she thinks he will outgrow this as he gets older. I think he had a fantastic time with Helen. He obviously enjoyed all the playing and the walks - Helen sent me a lovely film of him in the woods - one of his favourite places to go ! I would not hesitate to contact Helen in the future , should we need dog care again. Thank you very much.”
“Max had a fab time at Rebecca’s. He was taken out for a walk and a swim and I got lots of regular updates. Would definitely book in again and highly recommend Rebecca for looking after your dog. A real animal lover!”
“Imogen was great looking after Arlo! So lovely and I felt so comfortable leaving him. He settled well and I was provided a cute update with him making himself at home, could tell he was enjoying himself all snuggled up! Both me and Arlo definitely recommend 😊 he will be looking forward to his next visit! Thank you.”
“Louie my dog had such a lovely time with Janice I had updates and photos of my little boy every day which was so lovely. She was so caring and they got on so well Louie will definitely be going back for a stay with Janice he can not wait.”
“My 1st time using the site, and I was a bit nervous. Ashley was very accomodating, and suggested meeting prior to the booking so I could meet him, and I could see how my dog reacted to him. Which put me at ease. Ashley took great care of our puppy, and sent us regular pictures and updates. I was very happy with the service, and wouldn't hesitate to use him again.”
“I am so thrilled to have found Helen. Coco settled in so easily and had the best time with her and her family - and of course Boris too. It's such a relief to know Coco was in such good hands. I won't hesitate to use Helen again soon ❤️🐶”

“Daniel looked after Daisy and Chester for a trial overnight and we are so pleased that it went well. Regular updates showed that both dogs settled quickly and easily. They were comfortable and at home and when we picked the dogs up afterwards it was very obvious how well they had both taken to Daniel. Will be booking again.”
