“As always, Tiki had an absolutely fantastic time with his Aunty Sheila. She made sure to send us video and photo updates of him with all of his friends. Tiki loves Sheila and her family which, for a fearful rescue, is testament to how caring and loving they all are and how safe Tiki feels in their home. Thank you very much & Tiki I’m sure is already looking forward to his next stay.”
“Sandra has been absolutely wonderful from day one. She was so friendly and accessible right from the initial enquiry, which instantly put me at ease. Throughout Miley’s stay, she kept me updated with regular messages and photos, and that made such a difference - I always felt reassured knowing how happy and settled my dog was. It’s clear that Sandra genuinely cares, and the level of communication and attention she gives is exceptional. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommended.”
About: When I was 16 I worked in a dog groomers, giving dogs baths and drying them. Then I started looking after my auntie’s dog overnight and walked him when they were away. 2 years ago I got my puppy Cooper. We have done lots of training, I love taking him out on walks we always try new places!! I am pet first aid trained. I’m currently working part time at a church with children and young people, I work in the mornings so I can do early walks, afternoon or evening as well as drop ins in the afternoon and evening. I am pet first aid training certified and your dog will. Be supervised at all time along the walks and I want your dog to feel comfortable so if I notice any distress we will go walk somewhere else.
“We left our German shepherd Nero with Francesco for a week. He had a fantastic time making friends with with other doggies and enjoying Francesco's care and attention. He came home with the biggest smile and hasn't even had a sulk about being left. Francesco was a great communicater from the start and kept updated with pictures, videos and messages throughout. Thoroughly recommend, would definitely use again.”
“Rebecca was brilliant. She put my mind at ease and sent me regular updates. She offers an amazing service and I highly recommend her to anyone else who is looking to board their furry friend. I will be using Rebecca's services in future.”
“Pretzel had the most wonderful stay with Mica, Charlie, and Mollie! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear he was in safe, loving hands. He went on great walks, had a brilliant playmate in Mollie, and came home happy. Mica and Charlie clearly treat their furry guests like family - it really was a home away from home for Pretzel. We wouldn't hesitate to book again. Highly recommended! 🐾”
“Thanks so much Sue for being such a fantastic doggy sitter for our little girls Betty & Lily! We knew straight away how much you'd love and care for our dogs so we knew they’d be in great hands. We loved the pics you sent & could see how happy they were. Thanks again & we will be rebooking for our future adventures! ❤️”
“Harry kindly agreed to looking after my pomerpoo Alfie for me whilst I was away for a short new years break. Harry provided regular updates during the stay and I was confident he was being well looked after. I could immediately tell when I picked him up that Alfie had thoroughly enjoyed his time with Harry. I have no hesitation in recommending Harry and booking Alf in again on future holidays”
“This is my first time having Cookie stay over at a dog sitter. I have to say I am absolutely made up with the care Ashley took of her. We had regular pictures and updates and he even let us pick her up for a day out on the beach. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so much for taking care of her so well.”
“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!”
“Rita was great, from day one we received photos of Teddy, kept us well updated with photos and messages. Great environment for dogs to run around and also relax. I would not hesitate in recommending Rita to anyone looking for a caring dog owner who puts your mind at ease. Thank you Rita!!”
“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.”
“Sam was absolutely wonderful looking after Leo this weekend. She is incredibly kind and caring, and I felt very comfortable leaving him with her. She took Leo on several lovely walks around Leigh by the beach and in the parks, which he clearly enjoyed so much. Sam also kept me updated with plenty of photos, which was really reassuring and made it feel like Leo was having his own little holiday! Her home and garden are spotless, safe, and a perfect environment for dogs. Leo looked completely relaxed and happy during his stay. I would absolutely recommend Sam and would happily leave Leo with her again. Thank you for taking such great care of him!”
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.
“We can’t rate Lauren highly enough! Our Bella loved her time with Lauren and the kids. Trying to pick Bella up to bring her home and she curls up next to Lauren, which I’m taking as the dog equivalent of “I want to live here now”. We’ve already rebooked with Lauren for the next trip away”
About: Hello, I’m Nicoleta and I offer caring and reliable dog boarding in Leigh-on-Sea. While my Rover account dates from 2023, I have only recently begun offering my dog boarding services here, after many years of looking after dogs privately. I adore dogs and truly believe they are part of the family and should always be treated as such. When dogs stay with me, they enjoy a calm, safe and loving home environment with plenty of care, attention and affection. I have been caring for dogs for over 17 years. I had my own beloved dog, Miles, whom I looked after for 13 wonderful years. Sadly, he passed away almost four years ago, but since then I have continued caring for other dogs and it brings me great joy to have them in my home. My husband and I live in a bungalow, but I am the one who provides the care and supervision for the dogs staying with me. Everything is on one level, which is comfortable and safe for dogs. It is just the two of us at home, with no children. We also have a beautiful garden with new secure fencing, so dogs can safely enjoy time outside. I live close to lovely walking areas such as 2 minutes walk from Belfairs Woods and 20 min walk from Old Leigh where dogs enjoy daily walks, fresh air and exercise. I only take one or two dogs at a time (maximum two) so that each dog receives plenty of individual attention and care. I send regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their dog is happy and well looked after. You can also see more photos and updates on my Facebook page: Nic’s Doggy Haven. My aim is for every dog to feel relaxed, happy and loved while they are with me, so owners can have complete peace of mind. 🐶💛 I am home most of the time, so dogs staying with me receive plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy taking them for daily walks in nearby areas such as Belfairs Woods and along the seafront. Because I only take one or two dogs at a time, I can give them plenty of care, affection and supervision. Dogs become part of the household routine and enjoy a calm, relaxed home environment. Your dog’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I am fully insured and provide a calm, safe and caring home environment. My husband and I live in a bungalow, so everything is on one level, which is comfortable and safe for dogs. It is just the two of us at home, with no children. We have a beautiful garden with secure fencing, as well as a patio and summer house area, where dogs can safely enjoy time outside and relax. Inside the house, dogs are treated as part of the family and are always supervised. Because I only take one or two dogs at a time, I can give them plenty of attention, care and supervision to ensure they feel relaxed and happy.

About: I’ve loved care of cats ever since we fostered a kitty when I was 8 years old. I have experience looking after cats for friends and family and have completed two professional cat sitting jobs, on Cat in the Flat.
“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.”
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!
“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.”
“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 ”
“I left wrong key of property and Jenny patiently helped me to sort out this problem by going somewhere else to collect a second key even though it passed our agreed 30 min booking. I’m very thankful for that! She kept me updated on every visit by photos and texts and was always on time.”
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.
“Anna looked after our cat Lily for a bit over 3 weeks and I can honestly say she genuinely gave the best care possible in her power for our little kitty. Any concerns we had she made sure our minds were at ease and went above and beyond in all of our requests to help make us feel the most comfortable. I would highly recommend Anna for anyone looking for the best care for their pet and will definitely be having Anna look after our Lily on all future holidays we will have. Thanks again Anna!”

About: Having grown up with dogs my whole life, and getting my own a few years ago, i know how uncomfortable it can be leaving them behind. No need to worry, i can ensure you you dog wont be getting bored or stressed with my Beagle, Molly around them. I currently work full time with a very flexible office/work from home schedule. I cant change my days around frequently but usually work from home on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I can work from home the entire week if needed for longer term stays. Dogs will be at least 45 minute walk per day, unless you request otherwise. My dog stays on a long line lead as her Beagle nose stops her ears working frequently. It is your preference if you want your on or off lead when walking. My usual routine is feed in the morning and evening. Happy to continue any routine you already have in place to ensure your pets are made to feel as comfortable as possible.
“Sandra looked after our 1 year old Luna, she took the time to get to know her and all of her needs. Gave her lots of time and attention. Great communication the whole time. Would definitely recommend. Thank you”
“Samson has had the best day with Lauren and all the kiddies. He got so many cuddles (which is his favourite thing ever!) They've spoiled him with treats and lots of playtime. He is only 10 months and it was his first time away from his mum and dad and he's had such a lovely, fun day. He's sound asleep now! Thank you so much Lauren xxx”

“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 ☺️”

I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: For the past 3/4 years I’ve taken care of a friends dog and cat whenever they’ve been away on holiday. I’ve also got experience with my own pets including dogs, fish, finches, quails and hamsters. I have a part time job, I tend to work three days a week however my shifts are always different days. I will always check my rota before accepting a job to make sure I’d be spending the correct amount of time with your pets and making sure their needs are met. I love spending time with any pets. I always like to make sure their needs are met and they are happy. I make sure feeding schedules are met and any other requirements are fulfilled.
About: **Fully insured** I’m a dog lover and am the go to for friends and family's pets for overnight stays, doggy day care and walking. I own a dog who’s on daily medication so used to giving extra special care. **Sorry no puppies or untrained dogs** I work full time from home these days so I can keep a watchful eye on your dog and give lots of cuddles and walks. I have a long, high fenced garden that’s secure and a 10 year old King Charles Cavalier who would love a playmate for company during the day.
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.
“Thank you to Francesco for walking my Labrador for the first time today! Francesco arrived with plenty of time for me to hand Nia over. He clearly loves dogs, knows how to handle an excitable lab and how to put them at ease - Nia loved him straight away. Would 100% ask Francesco to walk Nia again. Thanks again!”
“Sheila walked Benji while we were on holiday. We met in advance and introduced Benji. Sheila walked Benji on time and gave him a decent length walk. Benji loved it! Sheila was a great communicator and kept in touch with messages and photos. Thanks Sheila!”

I have a fenced garden for secure outdoor time and play, and I’ll make sure each pet feels comfortable, happy, and well looked after.
“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 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: I have extensive experience caring for all types of dogs, from small breeds like Cocker Spaniels to large and strong breeds such as German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, and American Akitas. I’ve cared for energetic, playful dogs as well as calm, older dogs, so I’m confident handling any personality. I’ve spent years walking, feeding, grooming, and giving plenty of attention to dogs, always making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I treat every dog as if they were my own, tailoring care to their individual needs and personality. Whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch, or some quiet cuddle time, I love spending time with dogs and giving them the care and attention they deserve. 🐾💛 Caring for pets is part of my daily routine – walks, feeding, playtime, and cuddles – and I love spending quality time with dogs and cats. I follow owners’ instructions, provide food, water, walks, play, and cuddles, keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable in their own home environment, and love it x
About: I've always been brought up with dogs and cats being a major relationship in my life, I've looked after Chihuahuas to Staffordshire Bull Terriers.

I will make sure to follow the feeding schedule (depending on the owner's preferences), make sure your pet has enough stimulation and follow the pet's individual routine. Although you're away, your pet's routine will remain the same.
About: I have grown up with dogs for my whole life. I have grown up with big dogs, elderly dogs and hypoallergenic dogs. I have cared for both puppies and dogs close to end of life.

I offer 5k walks throughout the day, home visits and drop ins and also a quick spin around the block if required. I am a professional athlete and now have a lot more free time around my training hour. I can offer long walks, short walks or house drop ins at short notice. I love spending our Saturdays & Sundays down the seafront and would be great to have a little company from time to time on weekends.

“As always, Tiki had an absolutely fantastic time with his Aunty Sheila. She made sure to send us video and photo updates of him with all of his friends. Tiki loves Sheila and her family which, for a fearful rescue, is testament to how caring and loving they all are and how safe Tiki feels in their home. Thank you very much & Tiki I’m sure is already looking forward to his next stay.”
About: When I was 16 I worked in a dog groomers, giving dogs baths and drying them. Then I started looking after my auntie’s dog overnight and walked him when they were away. 2 years ago I got my puppy Cooper. We have done lots of training, I love taking him out on walks we always try new places!! I am pet first aid trained. I’m currently working part time at a church with children and young people, I work in the mornings so I can do early walks, afternoon or evening as well as drop ins in the afternoon and evening. I am pet first aid training certified and your dog will. Be supervised at all time along the walks and I want your dog to feel comfortable so if I notice any distress we will go walk somewhere else.
“We left our German shepherd Nero with Francesco for a week. He had a fantastic time making friends with with other doggies and enjoying Francesco's care and attention. He came home with the biggest smile and hasn't even had a sulk about being left. Francesco was a great communicater from the start and kept updated with pictures, videos and messages throughout. Thoroughly recommend, would definitely use again.”
“Rebecca was brilliant. She put my mind at ease and sent me regular updates. She offers an amazing service and I highly recommend her to anyone else who is looking to board their furry friend. I will be using Rebecca's services in future.”
“Pretzel had the most wonderful stay with Mica, Charlie, and Mollie! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear he was in safe, loving hands. He went on great walks, had a brilliant playmate in Mollie, and came home happy. Mica and Charlie clearly treat their furry guests like family - it really was a home away from home for Pretzel. We wouldn't hesitate to book again. Highly recommended! 🐾”
“Harry kindly agreed to looking after my pomerpoo Alfie for me whilst I was away for a short new years break. Harry provided regular updates during the stay and I was confident he was being well looked after. I could immediately tell when I picked him up that Alfie had thoroughly enjoyed his time with Harry. I have no hesitation in recommending Harry and booking Alf in again on future holidays”
“This is my first time having Cookie stay over at a dog sitter. I have to say I am absolutely made up with the care Ashley took of her. We had regular pictures and updates and he even let us pick her up for a day out on the beach. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so much for taking care of her so well.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Sam was absolutely wonderful looking after Leo this weekend. She is incredibly kind and caring, and I felt very comfortable leaving him with her. She took Leo on several lovely walks around Leigh by the beach and in the parks, which he clearly enjoyed so much. Sam also kept me updated with plenty of photos, which was really reassuring and made it feel like Leo was having his own little holiday! Her home and garden are spotless, safe, and a perfect environment for dogs. Leo looked completely relaxed and happy during his stay. I would absolutely recommend Sam and would happily leave Leo with her again. Thank you for taking such great care of him!”

“We can’t rate Lauren highly enough! Our Bella loved her time with Lauren and the kids. Trying to pick Bella up to bring her home and she curls up next to Lauren, which I’m taking as the dog equivalent of “I want to live here now”. We’ve already rebooked with Lauren for the next trip away”
“Donna looked after our dog Charlie while we were on holiday, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. From the moment I met her and her husband , it was clear how caring, professional, and genuinely passionate they both are about animals. Charlie absolutely adored both Donna and her husband, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Donna kept us regularly updated with messages and photos, which meant so much and allowed us to fully relax knowing he was happy, safe, and well cared for. It was obvious he wasn’t just being “looked after” — he was being loved and treated like part of her family. When we returned, Charlie was calm, content, and clearly had a wonderful time. Donna went above and beyond in every way, and we are so grateful for the exceptional care she gave him. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Donna to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and reliable to care for their pet. She is absolutely fantastic, and we will definitely be booking her again.”
“Our french bulldog stayed with Daniel for 3 nights, he settled in quite quickly. Daniel updated us throughout the day, everyday on how Muni was getting on; toilet breaks, walks, food and playtime. Felt at ease leaving our dog with Daniel. Thanks once again! (Repeat customer)”
“Eleanor and Joe did a superb job of looking after Alf whilst I was away. They ably took on board all his requirements and this attention to detail meant he had a very happy stay with them. Their location also helped to keep him more cool than at home in a heatwave! They are great dog lovers and very able owners. Alf and I would have no hesitation in recommending them and booking in again. Thank you so much for doing a fantastic job! x”
