About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was little and absolutely love them! 8 years ago I became a qualified Dog groomer which I still love doing, before this I done 2 years at college in animal care. Being a dog groomer has gave me the experience with handling or sorts of different dogs. I’m currently at work on Mondays. I’m at home for the majority of the week with my daughter so that gives us plenty of time to spend with your doggies Our garden is completely fenced off with two gates. If you’d like your dog to be crated we are happy to do so but would need to be supplied.
“Nina looked after our dog at her home while we were away on holiday, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. She was kind, considerate, and incredibly gentle, and it was clear from the start that our dog was in very safe hands. We especially loved the regular photos and updates Nina sent while we were away- it was so reassuring to see how happy and settled our dog was. Nina took her out to some lovely places, kept her active and busy, and clearly gave her lots of attention and affection. We would absolutely recommend Nina to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter. We will definitely be re-booking the next time we go away!”
“We are very happy with the care our dog received while staying with Lianne and her husband. They were both very thoughtful and helpful to make Bobs stay just like home. I received regular updates throughout the stay. We would definitely recommend Lianne to others. Thank you so much.”

About: I’ve recently moved out of my family home, where we had seven cats, so it’s safe to say everyone knows me as the crazy cat lady! I’ve grown up caring for all sorts of personalities and breeds, from playful Ragdolls and Maine Coons to rescue cats and tabbies, looking after them from tiny kittens right through to their senior years. I know every cat is different, whether they want endless fuss or prefer their own space, and I’m happy to go at their pace. Even on walks I can’t resist stopping to say hello to any friendly cat I meet! I’ll make sure your cat feels safe, loved and well cared for while you’re away, with plenty of updates to give you peace of mind.

“Jordon looked after our cat for a few days whilst we were away. I would highly recommend her pet caring services.

About: I’ve had two cats for four years now and they are house cats , I love spending time with them. I have previously owned a staffy (dog) named daisy who I regularly took out for walks and fed. I myself go on walks daily so I would love to help someone out if their pets need walking :) I think it’s very important for pets to receive some good playtime and loving which I would love to provide for them when the owner is unable to do so. I will walk pets in evenings/weekends depending on the size and activity level of the pet. I am happy to look after cats at my home too and invest in toys for them. I have now been dog sitting on Rover for 5 years and have enjoyed dog sitting so much. I started out as a uni student but now I am now a Secondary school Geography teacher, so will be available any school holidays as well as evenings and weekends. I have a lot of compassion and love for cats and dogs. I love spending time with them and playing with them, feeding them etc. It’s a very fulfilling job for me. I have a fenced garden, with a spacious living room for comfort. I always try and arrange a meet and greet first so that the pets are familiar with me before the service

Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a quiet place to relax, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care.

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine,as I have fury friends of my own. As a part-time shift worker, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care.

“Simi has been visiting Charlotte on a fairly regular basis for a few months, but had her first ‘sleep over’ a few days ago. I dropped off a very relaxed, happy dog, and collected an even happier one. Charlotte has such a lovely way with dogs, Simi even left with a card telling us about her adventures ….. a lovely touch! Thank you Charlotte for looking after and loving our girl so well!”

We have the beach, woods, parks and fields on our doorstep. We would love to give your dog a comfortable stress free home whilst you are away. We would prefer to meet them first to decide if we, you and your dog would be happy for us to care for them. My husband and I are both retired.

“Ruth done a great job looking after Marley for the day, Normally Marley is very excited to see me when I come home but at Ruths when I went to pick her up she barely took any notice of me as she was so happy where she was. Ruth is very kind and gentle and obviously loves and knows how to look after dogs and I would highly recommend her. I have booked an overnighter already.”
About: We’re lifelong dog lovers and take a considered, personal approach so each dog receives plenty of individual attention. My husband and I both work from home full time, meaning dogs in our care are rarely left alone and enjoy consistent company throughout the day. During the week, our home is particularly calm as our two children (aged 6 and 8) are at school. We share our home with our own 3-year-old dog, who is relaxed, friendly, and well socialised with other dogs. Our children have grown up around dogs and are gentle and respectful, understanding when a dog needs space. We are best suited to dogs who are comfortable in a family environment and around children. Our home is spacious, with several quiet areas where dogs can rest if they prefer their own space, as well as the option to stay close to us in our home office. We also have a secure, fully fenced garden for safe outdoor time. Sleeping arrangements are flexible and tailored to your dog’s usual routine. We follow a calm, consistent daily routine, including at least one walk a day, and we’re happy to maintain your dog’s normal feeding, medication, and care. Ahead of booking, we ask owners to share any special requirements so we can provide thoughtful, personalised care. We’re always happy to arrange a meet and greet to make sure it’s the right fit for everyone. We both work from home full time with our own rescue dog who we take for daily walks, so always looking for more furry company! As already mentioned, you can rest assured your dog is in safe hands - our garden is fully fenced. We can also go for on-lead walks for your peace of mind.
“Absolutely perfect. It was my first time using Rover. I was so undecided whether to bring Odin for our weekend away as he gets a bit fed up being dragged around on lead but didn’t want to leave him in kennels. I felt doggy daycare for a couple of afternoons would be the best of both worlds. Maxine & hubby was so lovely, booked us in at short notice, responded to messages super quick and we felt 100% comfortable leaving him. Without a doubt if we come down this way again we would love Maxine to look after him. Thank you for being so wonderful!”
“Obi had a fantastic time at Gareth’s, he didn’t want to go home! We got updates over the course of the day, and Gareth was very flexible on drop off and pick up times. We will definitely have him look after Obi again.”
“Laura was very friendly and looked after my dogs for a day. She sent me updates on how they were settling in. The dogs were happy and tired afterwards! I would definitely recommend Laura and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. Thank you Laura x”
“Pinar took such good care of our miniature dachshund bramble. She gave us lots of updates throughout, photos and videos. We felt like Pintar and her family looked after Bramble as if she was their own dog. Would definitely recommend her to anyone”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life from Dachshunds and terriers through to rescues and Labradors. I’ve recently retired and lost my companion Charlie so I’m hoping to invest my love in your precious one now.

I live in a city centre maisonette and have a small secure outside space for fresh air, but there are also parks near me and all the smells and excitement of the city. I follow whatever exercise routine and rules you have at home. Pets can come on the sofa for cuddles if you allow that, and can either sleep downstairs or upstairs on the bed with me.
“Booked last minute with Ania and was so easy. Dropping Charlie off and she was slightly nervous but Ania was great with her. Sending me photos and updates to let me know how she was and how settled. On picking Charlie up, she had settled in with the family making herself at home. Will absolutely be booking again. Charlie came home relaxed and settled from her busy day.”
“Nicole and her family were amazing. Never used doggy day care before but would highly recommend Nicole. She kept us updated with photos during the day. We had a meet and greet a couple of days before so our dog got to meet Nicole and he was excited to go back on the day.”

About: I have always had a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, invertebrates and reptiles, so I am happy and used to being around most critters! I love long walks in the country or by the sea but also like sitting and cuddling my pets for hours, so whatever your pet needs I can accommodate! I'm currently away from work (I was in the NHS doing ultrasound for 13 years) and am studying to begin my own company! Which means I have plenty of free time for walks and cuddles - middle of the day if you're at work or during the week if you're away! As I currently have a dog and cat in my house I don't feel it fair to offer to board pets unless they are OK with other animals (contact me with questions or requests). I am happy to stay at or visit your home and would be respectful of your space. I am of course happy to meet you and your pet ahead of time to ensure they and you feel comfortable with me!

About: Most recently l worked for a dog sitting company and had lots of different sizes and abilities of pooches, staying with me. I am no longer able to offer boarding at my home, however l have recently started housesitting in the pets own Home, l am green fingered so can look after your plants and garden too. I want you to have peace of mind while you are away, l am very house proud and so will take good care of your home and your furry friend.

About: With over five years of experience in looking after all kinds of animals as well as growing up in a house full of animals I am now available to look after furry friends whilst back home from university. Whilst my experience is mainly in the realms of dogs, cats, horses, hamsters and guinea pigs I have also looked after rabbits, birds and even a tortoise! I have had plenty of work experience through my degree in veterinary practices allowing me to handle medications as needed and keep an eye on any more senior animals as well, with which I aim to give owners some peace of mind as I completely understand how daunting it can feel when a pet has health issues and to trust someone else to monitor these. I currently work an online job for my university student union, which is part time. This means I have plenty of time to check in on furry friends and keep ontop of their daily schedules! Other than that I would ideally be going to the gym however if one of your furry friends needs 24/7 care it goes without saying that it would always be the priority! I will be able to take your dog out and about to local dog parks or for quieter walks through the lovely Norfolk countryside! With a car and full clean driving licence I would be more than happy to take your pets to safe local areas or walk them from your home. Which ever you would prefer and they would be more comfortable with!
About: Hi, I’m Abigail! 🐾 After six years as a police officer, I decided to give up the uniform and follow my passion for dogs, the outdoors, and providing a safe, trustworthy service for pet owners. I provide a calm, secure, and welcoming home where your dog will feel completely at ease. Your dog/s will have constant care, attention, and plenty of affection throughout their stay. I’m home full-time, so your dog’s routine, safety, and happiness are always my priority. I have a large, fully secure garden with 7ft fencing and a locked gate, giving dogs plenty of space to play, explore, and enjoy themselves safely. I share my home with my friendly Irish Setter, Rory, who is gentle, playful, and great with other dogs. He loves company and helps create a relaxed, social environment for visiting dogs. I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages — from young puppies to senior dogs — and I’m confident supporting different needs, routines, and personalities. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter, slower pace, I will adapt to them. I come from a professional background where trust, responsibility, and safety were essential, and I bring that same level of care and attention into looking after every dog. 🐾 What you can expect: * A home-from-home environment * Dogs are never left alone * Secure garden for safe outdoor time * Walks tailored to your dog (on or off lead) * Regular updates, photos, and communication * Flexible and attentive care to suit your dog’s routine I’m very mindful that every dog is different, so I will always follow your instructions closely — from feeding and walking to sleep routines and preferences. I’m happy to care for dogs who may be a little anxious or need extra reassurance — just let me know what helps them feel comfortable. We look forward to welcoming your dog into our home and giving you complete peace of mind ✨ Our calendar is kept up to date daily, and we’re always quick to respond to messages. We’re home seven days a week, so your dog will never be left alone. 🏡 A safe, secure, and relaxed environment My home is spacious and set up to give dogs a calm, safe place to settle in and feel comfortable. The garden is fully secure with 7ft fencing and a locked gate, so dogs can enjoy outdoor time safely. I live on a quiet, secluded street away from main roads, creating a peaceful environment that’s ideal for dogs of all temperaments. The garden is a great size for all breeds, with plenty of room to play, explore, and enjoy a good run around. Large patio doors open directly onto the garden, allowing dogs to move freely between inside and outside when appropriate. They can also be closed to create a calm, cosy space for rest and nap times. Inside, the home is open-plan with plenty of room to relax, along with soft furnishings and lots of toys to keep dogs happy and entertained. For added safety, all human food is kept well out of reach, so you can feel confident your dog is in a secure and carefully managed environment.
About: I grew up in a dog-loving home with an Irish Red Setter rescue and a Doberman we raised from a puppy, so I'm no stranger to big dogs with big personalities. Over the years, I've cared for pups of all sizes, breeds, and ages - from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and totally spoiled while you're away. A recent move means I am now taking on new clients in and around Norwich. Please see my reviews and reach out for a chat if I can help to care for your pup! I’m working from home, with plenty of gaps in between for toilet breaks and walks in the park - I like to get away from my desk when I can and would love for your dog to join me. I’ve been house sitting for a number of years, both through Rover (please check my reviews) and word of mouth from my existing clients. I will care for your home as if it is my own. I am happy to discuss carrying out tasks unrelated to your pup, too.
About: Level 3 canine carer. I am DBS checked. Have lived with staffies for 20 years. Worked in multiple dog care jobs and rescue centres. Absolutely nothing I love more. I currently work zero hour so I am very flexible with what hours I do. We can figure out whatever time is suitable for the three of us☺️ To start I will do a drop in session with you and your pet to have a chat and find out a bit more about their characteristics from you and places they love to walk! I completely understand how nerve wracking it can be leaving your pet in someone else’s care, as a dog owner myself I only want the best for my dog which is why I think it is best to meet and greet first before doing any solo walking or sitting!
About: Hey there! I’m Pedro—a lifelong dog lover who lives on the road with my amazing companion, Koda. Together, we explore forests, beaches, and countryside trails, and I love sharing that energy and freedom with the dogs I look after. Whether your pup needs a weekend of forest adventures or just someone calm and reliable while you’re away, I’ve got it covered. I’m experienced with large and small breeds, gentle with nervous dogs, and always patient and attentive. Dogs in my care get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and affection—and you get peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I can relocate and move where the job needs me to be. I'm flexible and I can adapt to the needs of the dog. I love to play and I'm respecful of their needs. I know about good dog nutrition. I take dogs with me in to nature and urban environment. I am observant of body language and their needs.I am reassuring and confident around big or small dogs.

“Hannah and Rob were fantastic at looking after Bear. This is the first time we have used a dog walker. They arrived on time and often walked him for more than the allotted 1 hour. Hannah sent lots of photos and messages. It was great to see Bear so relaxed and happy. I highly recommend Hannah and Rob and will not hesitate to use them in the future.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I can remember, my parents were always into bigger dogs and I’ve grown up around all sorts of animals, I’ve had horses, chickens, dogs, cats, rats and smaller animals. I’ve also looked after birds of prey and farm animals. Nothing will put me off and No breed of dog will put me off! When I left home I got my own dog she was a rescue in need of help she was a bull mastiff and she was a bag of bones, she didn’t even know how to use the stairs, I trained her got the weight back on her and also taught her how to get along with my horses. She was the most caring loving dog I ever had if anything she helped me with my anxiety. Sadly she’s gone now but I would love to be able to help others with their pets so they are cared and loved while your away I’m currently not working full time at the moment to have loads of free time to be able to fit in a schedule that will work round you I have a fenced off garden, loads of walking routes around my area, I can help with training if needed. I do have a cat in the house but she just keeps herself to herself
“Maisie absolutely loved her time with Georgia. She sat waiting excitedly by the front door to go out on her adventures and came home contented. Georgia was fantastic with Maisie, responsive to my messages and put me at ease leaving her. I would not hesitate to book Georgia again.”
About: I’m a reliable and active dog sitter based in the Norfolk Broads countryside, where there’s no shortage of scenic walks and open spaces for dogs to enjoy. Having spent years around the countryside, I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and energy levels, whether they enjoy long adventures, relaxed strolls, or plenty of playtime. I understand the importance of keeping dogs safe, happy, and sticking to their usual routines, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I work night shifts on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, which means I have plenty of availability during the day and on my days off. I’m flexible with walks, feeding routines, and spending time with dogs, and I can provide a reliable and consistent routine around my work schedule. Living in the countryside also means access to plenty of quiet walking routes and open spaces. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is in the Norfolk countryside, with a calm environment and plenty of space for dogs to relax. I’ll make sure your dog feels secure, receives plenty of attention, and follows their normal routine as closely as possible. I understand every dog has different needs, so I’ll take the time to learn their personality, habits, and any requirements before their stay
About: I’ve had two cats for four years now and they are house cats , I love spending time with them. I have previously owned a staffy (dog) named daisy who I regularly took out for walks and fed. I myself go on walks daily so I would love to help someone out if their pets need walking :) I think it’s very important for pets to receive some good playtime and loving which I would love to provide for them when the owner is unable to do so. I will walk pets in evenings/weekends depending on the size and activity level of the pet. I am happy to look after cats at my home too and invest in toys for them. I have now been dog sitting on Rover for 5 years and have enjoyed dog sitting so much. I started out as a uni student but now I am now a Secondary school Geography teacher, so will be available any school holidays as well as evenings and weekends. I have a lot of compassion and love for cats and dogs. I love spending time with them and playing with them, feeding them etc. It’s a very fulfilling job for me. I have a fenced garden, with a spacious living room for comfort. I always try and arrange a meet and greet first so that the pets are familiar with me before the service

Can't recommend enough!”
“Nina looked after our dog at her home while we were away on holiday, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. She was kind, considerate, and incredibly gentle, and it was clear from the start that our dog was in very safe hands. We especially loved the regular photos and updates Nina sent while we were away- it was so reassuring to see how happy and settled our dog was. Nina took her out to some lovely places, kept her active and busy, and clearly gave her lots of attention and affection. We would absolutely recommend Nina to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter. We will definitely be re-booking the next time we go away!”
