“Carina and her family were amazing, they looked after our two dogs and they had the most amazing time, lovely long walks and great fun in their large garden. Would highly recommend Carina”
About: We have had family dogs for the last 11 years, we currently have 2 bearded collies, Merlin (11yrs) and Griffon (5yrs) and they are regular visitors to our new home we recently purchased! There is plenty of room for fun in the fenced garden and other very friendly dogs in the neighbourhood we may bump into on walks. I work from home so there will always be someone around for your furry friend. I work remotely full time, however I have a very active lifestyle and go for walks in the morning, lunch times and evenings. I also have a flexible work schedule and with enough notice can make day time walks work if required Our family dogs do not live with us, they are with my in-laws, however as retired parents should be, they are very keen travellers and we are very happy dog sitters! As mentioned, we have a fenced in garden and lots of surrounding areas for dog walks. I work from home so am around to monitor and keep fluffy friends company.
“I would highly recommend Laurita as a dog carer! She has been incredibly attentive and caring towards my dog, providing him with the love and attention he needs while I am away. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure my dog is happy and well taken care of. I appreciate her reliability, communication, and genuine passion for animals. I feel confident and at ease knowing my dog is in such good hands with her. Thank you for all that you do!”
“I cannot recommend Jenette enough, Gianni looked the happiest he had been when staying with a sitter, constantly updated with videos and photos with lovely long walks, sofa cuddles, he was treated just like he had not left home, and I think his company was enjoyed too. We had a meet and greet beforehand which was really nice as it made it all very comfortable and puts any worries at ease in to where he was going to stay. Thank you Jenette and Stuart for the wonderful and caring attention that Gianni recieved, and a definate rebooking without a doubt in the future”
“Charlie was amazing with Benji and Maya for our wedding. She treated them like her own so much so that Maya went back to sleep when we picked her up. It was definitely a home away from home for our dogs. Would definitely recommend! Thank you Charlie!”
“What a lovely couple Nicola and her husband were- so welcoming to us and Ernie our Labrador! Ernie had a trial visit a few weeks before his stay but there was absolutely no need as he had the best time! We were initially slightly worried as we had never left him before but he settled in straight away. Nicola kept me updated with messages; videos and photos throughout his stay and were even so kind as to let us pick him up late at night on our return home. Could not have hoped for more caring people-Ernie will definitely be returning. Thank you so much! 🐾”
“Claire has been a fantastic dog sitter for Murphy. She is very communicative and trustworthy, clearly knows what she’s doing, and has loads of experience. Murphy was comfortable and well cared for in her hands, which gave us real peace of mind. Highly recommend her.”
“As soon as I met Beatriz and Matt at the meet and great I knew Russell would enjoy his stay and would be in safe hands there. I could see they were dog lovers they made Russell very welcome Their own dog Luca a cockapoo was friendly and playing with Russell. Beatriz sent me photos during his stay which was lovely I couldn't collect Russell at the time arranged they were accommodating in letting me pick him up later in the day. All in all a very good experience”
“Reached out to Julian last minute, he gladly accepted and was very accommodating to my request to have a meet and greet beforehand. He looked after my dog for an over night stay, took him out for lovely long walks and gave him lots of fuss and attention. Also sent plenty of updates so I knew all was going well. I have already booked Julian in again!”
“Federica was fantastic! Lovely home for our little dog who was very well cared for. Constant communication and photo updates... would definitely recommend Federica and we will definitely use her again :)”
“Chip had an awesome time with Dan! We got lots of updates from him and we could tell that our dog was really happy and well looked after. We highly recommend Dan as a dog sitter and would book him again any time.”
About: I am an experienced dog owner I have had rescues & puppies. I live with my fiancé Kallum & we have a 6 year old staffie girl named babs who loves playing with other dogs. I have also cared for elderly dogs as well as dogs with health conditions & allergies. I will give your dog all the love & attention whilst they are with me! My helping hand care givers are as follows: Kallum - my fiancé who can support in the evenings and weekends Tina - my mum who is on hand in case of emergencies, she is also a dog lover and has her own 3 year old cockapoo I work full time predominately from home. My office days are Tuesdays but there is always someone available to be there for the dogs if boarding for long stay. I am often home on weekends and able to give your dog all the love, affection & walks My back garden is totally secure so dogs are completely safe. Dogs are allowed to sit on sofas with owners permission, I wouldn't want to instill any bad habits they're not allowed to do at home. I do have my own 6 year old staffie girl so any dog staying would need to be happy socialising with other dogs.
“Wow, what can I say about Amanda, her lovely home, and her amazing hospitality! This was the first time I’d ever left Marlo with someone who wasn’t family, and I honestly didn’t feel nervous at all. He stayed with her for 7 days, and she kept me updated throughout my holiday with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Marlowe has allergies and follows a strict raw diet, which Amanda was more than happy to accommodate. She even got him some suitable treats, which was such a thoughtful touch. He absolutely loved playing with her children’s dogs and was genuinely sad when they left; it felt like he was on holiday too! In fact, he seemed so happy there that I think he was a little disappointed to come home. I’ve already booked him in with Amanda again next month for an even longer stay, which says everything. I think I’ve found my forever dog sitter! 💗 Thank you again, Amanda!! Marlowe can’t wait to come back! 🐾”

About: Pets have been a part of my life since the day I was born — dogs and cats were always in our family home, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Today I have my own family and a 4-year-old neutered Jackawawa who is friendly, sociable, and loves playing with other dogs, so your pup will always have a companion. I work from home full-time, which means I'm around all day and can give visiting dogs the attention and routine they deserve. My day naturally includes a morning walk, an evening walk, and a lunchtime play session with a ball — your dog is welcome to join in. We also have a garden with a dog flap, so dogs can head outside freely whenever they like. My 2-year-old kid loves dogs and has grown up alongside ours, so your pet will be welcomed into a genuinely dog-friendly household where they can feel relaxed and at home. I work remotely full-time, so I'm home all day and can give dogs the attention and routine they need. My day includes a morning walk, a lunchtime play session in the park in front of our house, and an evening walk — your dog is welcome to join in on all of it. I can adapt breaks and outings around your dog's specific needs. Your dog will be staying in a warm, pet-friendly family home with a garden they can access freely via a dog flap — inside and outside whenever they please. My 4-year-old neutered Jackawawa is friendly and well-socialised, making it easy for visiting dogs to settle in. I'm home all day, so your dog is never left alone for long.

“Marta has been a total gem while I was away. My cats took to her super quickly, she was super attentive and even noticed when one of them needed a vet visit 🥺 Marta kept me informed at all times and sent me lots of videos. Came back to super relaxed and happy cats. Couldn't recommend her more, will definitely book her again :) Thanks a lot!!”
“I definitely recommend Yasmin! Yasmin was an excellent cat sitter. It was lovely to meet her to explain everything before I went away. She was kind and reassuring. My cat was happy with her visiting while I was away. Yasmin did everything as I asked, playing with, brushing and giving treats to my cat as well as feeding, watering and litter tray-ing. She also sent me lovely photos to show my cat was okay. Yasmin reassured me when I was worried while away and wasnt judgemental about the home not being pristine. She gave me updates after each visit which was lovely. I felt that the service was definitely worth the price and I feel my cat was looked after better than if I had had a friend or relative to ask to look in on her. Thanks so much Yasmin!”
“Veronica is such a great catsitter. Our cat Risky is very shy and often hides from people but Veronica was able to win her over immediately and Risky became very affectionate towards her. Veronica sent us lots of photos of them having a nice time together and it really allowed us to enjoy our holiday. Thank you Veronica!”
“Jordan took great care of my cat Pinu whilst I was on a short break. I was sent video clips and messages and kept up to date. Pinu was well looked after and I have no hesitation in recommending Jordan!”
About: I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats through family, friends, and neighbours. I regularly walk, feed, and spend time with dogs in my community, and I’ve also provided overnight stays at a friend’s house to keep pets comfortable in their own routine. I’m often trusted to look after family members’ dogs and cats during both short breaks and longer stays, which has given me experience with pets of different ages, temperaments, and needs. What sets me apart is my reliability, genuine love for animals, and the attention I give to making sure each pet feels happy, safe, and cared for—whether that’s through daily walks, playtime, or extra cuddles. Since I work from home and drive, I can offer a great deal of flexibility, making it easy to fit in visits, walks, or overnight stays that suit your pet’s needs. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, or playtime, and I can also offer overnight stays when needed. Because I drive, I can adjust to different schedules and locations, making it simple to accommodate each pet’s individual needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable by keeping to their usual routines and surroundings. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, exercise, and any special requirements. I take the time to build trust with each pet so they feel secure and relaxed in my care. At home, I live with my three children (ages 10, 15, and 16), two friendly cats, and a tortoise, so I’m very used to a busy, pet-loving household. This gives me plenty of experience managing different animals’ needs calmly and confidently. Pets in my care are never left unattended for long periods, and I keep a close eye on their safety during walks and playtime. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to ensuring both pets and owners have complete peace of mind.

“You can tell when someone is a cat lover and Paige was so naturally caring with my 2 moggies. I didnt worry about them when I was away as Paige looked after them exactly as I asked.

About: My family have always had pets! I have been brought up with cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs. Animal care is my passion! My close family have cats and dogs, so if they’re busy or at work I do tend to help them out by taking them on walks. I have one cat, and I’m currently in the process of convincing my partner to rescue a dog with me! We both love animals so this is certainly the first step! I do work full time in a school, so I get all of the holidays off the same time as the students. However on the days that work, early morning walks/check ins or evening walks/check ins would be no issue at all. And of course there’s weekends that I’m free as well. My cat is super super loving and calm, my garden is fairly big and there’s a fence all the way around so there would be no safety issues
About: I have a deep love for animals, especially cats. Coming with a background of having those pets of my own since I was little I was always growing up around them either in my family or friends.

“Laurita took care of my 4 month old Bichon Frise puppy. I literally had my puppy barely a week and needed someone to take care of him for the day because I needed to attend an emergency memorial on the Isle of Wight. He was scared when he got there and I was worried but she put my mind at ease and sent me some amazing video clip updates of him playing with her dog and absolutely loving being there and 100% happy. Her dog is so gorgeous as well— he was like an older sibling. She was also kind enough to give him a bath which I’m so grateful for. He looked beautiful when I picked him up. It is clear to see that Laurita is a dog lover and took care of Ceaser like he was her own. I was so lucky to find her and I will definitely be going to her again if I need her to take care of Ceaser. I also was stuck in traffic on the M25 and was going to arrive late to pick him up but she was so flexible. Thank you so much Laurita for taking care of Ceaser, you are a one of a kind, caring, lovely person.”

About: I have had dogs in my family since the age of 13. We had a Briard, Teddy for many years who was an huge dog and was loved very much! My partner has also had dogs in his family since the age of 10 and his family currently have an adorable Shei Tzu called Cookie. We are both active people who go on a walk at least once a day so we would love to assist in taking pressure off of you to walk your dog. We also have already been helping to dog sit for our friends and family when they go on holiday. Your pet will be staying with myself and my boyfriend Charlie. We stay in most weekends (will just need notice). We both work from home in the week and one of us are always home every day of the week. As mentioned we are both active people and walk everyday so would fit in with our schedules. We have a fenced garden which can be used. We have lots of downstairs space with a living room, dining room and kitchen. We can use a crate if needed.
“Thank you so much to Janey for looking after Meli for the day. Janey is very friendly and welcoming, with a lovely home and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. Yogi is the sweetest little thing.

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs since age 13, with hands-on experience across labradors, collies, golden retrievers, labradoodles, Boston terriers, and mixed breeds. For the past three years, my wife, my son Tom, and I have cared for dogs locally through other sitting platforms, earning consistent five-star reviews. We offer a settled family home where dogs follow familiar routines. Feeding times stay consistent, walks match each dog’s energy and needs, and dogs receive daily attention and affection. I watch behaviour, comfort, and wellbeing closely, so owners feel confident their dog feels safe, relaxed, and cared for like one of our own. I work remotely, so dogs stay part of my daily routine rather than fitting around gaps. Walks happen regularly through the day, feeding times stay consistent, and dogs receive attention between work tasks. Care runs alongside looking after my son, so dogs stay included in a calm, structured family day rather than left alone. I care for dogs in a safe, calm home environment and follow each owner’s instructions closely. I focus on routines, supervision, and wellbeing rather than specialist grooming or pampering services. I am not professionally trained in grooming, but I ensure dogs stay clean, comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times.
“Paul is an amazing dedicated pet-sitter. He looked after Mafalda for a couple of days while I was working full time. I can tell she really enjoyed her time with him because of her “bum wiggles” every time I drop her off! Every time I came back to collect her she was happy and spotless, no matter the weather. I Highly recommend, and will use again if the opportunity comes.”
About: I was born and raised surrounded by dogs and cats. Because I am the youngest, it was always my responsibility, feeding, bathing and walking the dogs. The cats was easy, to look after, making sure they have food and water, and that their litter box was cleaned but always being ready for a cuddle. I work full time, but the great thing about my job, if it's a small dog, they can join me at work but bigger dogs, I do have flexible schedule at work, so can make sure they can go for a quick walk 2-3 times a day, while they staying at home. My weekends are generally free, for dog walking or dog/cat sitting. I will ask the owners to tell me their dog/cat like/dislikes, schedule of feeding times, favourite toys/snacks and also if their dog/cat sleep in their bed with them, I won't object at all. Anything to make sure the dog/cat is relaxed in their home environment, without getting too anxious, while their owners are away.
“Cookie had a great day today thank you. He was defo ready for a good sleep but clearly has had lots of fun. Emil was great on all his communications and cookie will defo be back! Thanks”

About: Because of my passion for animals, I studied veterinary technician in Turkey. I've had dogs since I was 14 years old. I took care of them as long as they lived, and sometimes I healed and adopted the sick ones. I was with them during their fun times and when they were sick. I have experience in taking care of dogs from puppyhood to old age. I'm not working right now, so I can give them the time they need. I have plenty of time to spare for them in situations that need attention. I live in a coach house. I have 1 extra free room where I can create a safe environment for them. There are parks in the vicinity where they can walk and play.

All dogs must undergo a trial visit to ensure both my family and your dog are happy and enjoy their experience. We do ask that dogs who stay with us are used to younger children. I can provide ad-hoc dog walks. As an animal lover, I understand that additional care may be needed whilst you work, have a day out or holiday. I will treat your pet with respect, kindness and patience, lending a helping hand to a pet in need of TLC. This isn't just a hobby, but my profession. I do have a busy household and work my schedule around day to day life. I am available 7 days a week. When pet sitting, I never leave your pet or home unattended for more than 4hours (I am able to accommodate dogs that cannot be left or can be left for shorter/longer periods) When dog boarding, someone will always be home. My husband is covered on my own private insurance and he holds the same informal training as myself. Every owner has their own expectations and routines for their pet, I am here to provide the best service for you and your pet. At our meet and greet we will discuss your pets usual daily routine which I aim to adhere to throughout mine or their stay.
“I have a very cautious 13 month old who takes some time before he allows people near him. Within the first meet my baby boy was at ease with Jordan. This made me completely relaxed. It is clear the love for animals Jordan has. Absolutely fantastic. I can’t compliment enough ?”

“I would highly recommend Laurita as a dog carer! She has been incredibly attentive and caring towards my dog, providing him with the love and attention he needs while I am away. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure my dog is happy and well taken care of. I appreciate her reliability, communication, and genuine passion for animals. I feel confident and at ease knowing my dog is in such good hands with her. Thank you for all that you do!”
“Charlie was amazing with Benji and Maya for our wedding. She treated them like her own so much so that Maya went back to sleep when we picked her up. It was definitely a home away from home for our dogs. Would definitely recommend! Thank you Charlie!”
“What a lovely couple Nicola and her husband were- so welcoming to us and Ernie our Labrador! Ernie had a trial visit a few weeks before his stay but there was absolutely no need as he had the best time! We were initially slightly worried as we had never left him before but he settled in straight away. Nicola kept me updated with messages; videos and photos throughout his stay and were even so kind as to let us pick him up late at night on our return home. Could not have hoped for more caring people-Ernie will definitely be returning. Thank you so much! 🐾”
“Reached out to Julian last minute, he gladly accepted and was very accommodating to my request to have a meet and greet beforehand. He looked after my dog for an over night stay, took him out for lovely long walks and gave him lots of fuss and attention. Also sent plenty of updates so I knew all was going well. I have already booked Julian in again!”
“Chip had an awesome time with Dan! We got lots of updates from him and we could tell that our dog was really happy and well looked after. We highly recommend Dan as a dog sitter and would book him again any time.”
About: I am an experienced dog owner I have had rescues & puppies. I live with my fiancé Kallum & we have a 6 year old staffie girl named babs who loves playing with other dogs. I have also cared for elderly dogs as well as dogs with health conditions & allergies. I will give your dog all the love & attention whilst they are with me! My helping hand care givers are as follows: Kallum - my fiancé who can support in the evenings and weekends Tina - my mum who is on hand in case of emergencies, she is also a dog lover and has her own 3 year old cockapoo I work full time predominately from home. My office days are Tuesdays but there is always someone available to be there for the dogs if boarding for long stay. I am often home on weekends and able to give your dog all the love, affection & walks My back garden is totally secure so dogs are completely safe. Dogs are allowed to sit on sofas with owners permission, I wouldn't want to instill any bad habits they're not allowed to do at home. I do have my own 6 year old staffie girl so any dog staying would need to be happy socialising with other dogs.
“Wow, what can I say about Amanda, her lovely home, and her amazing hospitality! This was the first time I’d ever left Marlo with someone who wasn’t family, and I honestly didn’t feel nervous at all. He stayed with her for 7 days, and she kept me updated throughout my holiday with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Marlowe has allergies and follows a strict raw diet, which Amanda was more than happy to accommodate. She even got him some suitable treats, which was such a thoughtful touch. He absolutely loved playing with her children’s dogs and was genuinely sad when they left; it felt like he was on holiday too! In fact, he seemed so happy there that I think he was a little disappointed to come home. I’ve already booked him in with Amanda again next month for an even longer stay, which says everything. I think I’ve found my forever dog sitter! 💗 Thank you again, Amanda!! Marlowe can’t wait to come back! 🐾”

“Thi is our third time booking Oana. She has been brilliant with Astro and very comunicative with us, sending us constant updates and pictures. Oana and her family have taken care of our furry baby as if he was theirs. We are grateful to have found her and will surely book her again.”
“Ezgi was very good with my kitten, kept me updated daily & very frequently. She took good care of him 😊very happy I chose her and will definitely be using her again for this service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Andrew has been excellent from start to finish. I contacted him with a last minute booking for my 10 year old Staffy and he was very accommodating. I have never had to leave my dog with a sitter before so was apprehensive, but as soon as I arrived and met Andrew and his parents my mind was put to rest. Lovely people, with a lovely home. Andrew had a very calming demeanour and I knew my dog was in safe hands. He provided photo updates and answered any questions I had, and most importantly Presley come back as happy and daft as ever. I was able to enjoy my trip away knowing my dog was safe and well looked after. Couldn’t recommend highly enough! 10/10, thank you 🙏🏼”

About: My family have had dogs my entire life so I am very much a dog lover and fanatic! I love knowing about all the different breeds, different personalities and getting to know dogs characters. I have a small terrier myself who is now 6. I am a very confident person when it comes to handling dogs and walking them. I regularly have friends dogs over to stay for play dates with my dog and I genuinely love spending time with them so being on Rover makes total sense. I work from home 3 days a week so can be rather flexible with sitting and walks and general dog companionship :) In my day job I come across a lot of dogs and I have actually rehomed 14 so far in to loving homes. One of them even now lives in Lisbon! I can honestly find a connection with any dog, I cannot see how some people arent dog people! I work from home 3 days a week and spend 2 out 4 weekends a month at home. I take my own dog out for 2 walks a day everyday without fail. I have a good sized garden which is safe and fenced off. I also have lots of lovely walks local to me across fields and forests which I know my dog loves also. My dog has a bed downstairs but often sleeps upstairs in my bedroom but I would be happy for a dog staying overnight to be anywhere that he/she is comfortable in the home, there are no off limits areas.

“Winona and Charlie looked after my dog for just over a week and I couldn’t be more happy with the stay. I got pictures and videos daily as well as updates on how my dog’s day has been. I was able to take my dog round for a first meet where I was able to ask any questions and discuss the dogs routing, which was followed for the duration of the stay. My dog was welcomed into their family and I could not be happier or recommend Winona and Charlie more.”
