“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.”
“Charlie was amazing with George. He was a little nervous when we first left him and Charlie kept me informed of his progress every step of the way. By the end I was worried he wouldn’t want to leave he was so happy. It was like I had left George with a family member. I was really put at ease with Charlie and will most defiantly use her again. This was the First time we have come back from holiday to a very content dog. Thank you xx”
“Lisa and her family are amazing. Our girls had the best time. They loved their little holiday and it was so nice leaving them and knowing they were happy. Thank you Lisa!”
“Hayley and her family were just perfect for our pup. We have a 3month old English bull terrier who stayed for 7 days. Thoughout the whole process we received many daily pupdates in the form of messages, pictures and videos which made it so much easier. Being a pup he had some learning to do, which Hayley listened carefully to our wants, as well as did her own research to help him have the best stay. As he was teething he did have an upset tummy which they sorted out respectfully and she even did research on the best things to support and let us choose so he got better quick. We have now collected a pup who was cared for so lovingly and has come back more social and calm! He was even given some good bye presents which really was the cherry on top of the perfect week. I cannot express how much we recommend Hayley and her loving family!”
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.

Woody was again, very well looked after, with Andrew staying in contact with me and even accommodated a change in my collection times without hesitation. Andrew's a fab guy and very reliable.”
“Our dog Minnie had a wonderful stay with Federica and didn't seem to wan to leave! Minnie can be a bit difficult but had no problem settling in and apparently was a joy to look after! :) Arranging the sitting and pre-meeting was easy and that, together with the good time had by Minnie, would lead us to highly recommend Federica for your dog - we will certainly be using her in the future !”

Amba looked happy and settled, and it was lovely to see how well she got on with Lucy’s dog, Babs. It was clear she was well looked after and had a great time. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Amba with Lucy again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. Thank you so much!”
“Renata is absolutely wonderful. She took very good care of our Shih Tzu Scribble over three weeks that we were away. Renata, her boyfriend and their dog Fluffy were all very welcoming. They sent us lovely pictures and videos every day. Scribble was allowed on bed and seems to have spent a marvellous time between walks in the park and snoozes with Fluffy. Our dog also had a small health issue - Renata took him to the vet to check that everything was ok giving us peace of mind. We were very happy, Scribble loved it, so hopefully we can travel again soon and will book again!”

As it was my first time using a cat sitter, I was a little nervous, but she quickly put my mind at ease. She kept me updated throughout the week with messages and photos, and was always very responsive whenever I had a question. She took great care of the cats, played with them, and made sure Smudge received her daily medication. When I came home, the cats were calm and happy, and everything in the flat was exactly as I’d left it. I’d happily recommend Yasmin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.

About: For me, caring for cats isn’t just a job—it’s a passion. I treat every cat I look after as if they were my own, providing them with the love, attention, and comfort they need while you’re away. From playtime and cuddles to maintaining feeding routines and litter box cleaning, I make sure your cat feels safe, relaxed, and cared for in their familiar environment. I take the time to get to know each cat’s unique personality—whether they’re shy and quiet or playful and curious. I offer plenty of affection, gentle interaction, and enrichment to help keep them happy and stress-free. With regular updates and photos, you can have peace of mind knowing your feline friend is in kind, capable hands. Your cat’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities. Whether it’s a weekend away or a longer trip, you can count on me to provide reliable, loving care every step of the way.

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.

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.

About: Hi! I’m Philly, a huge animal lover with experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters and other small animals. I currently care for 7 pets at home with my partner, so animals are a very big part of my everyday life! 🐾❤️ I have a qualification in dog walking and dog behaviour, as well as hands-on experience with animal rescue and rehabilitation. I rescued and rehabilitated 2 stray cats from Cyprus, who are now happy, settled members of my family alongside my other 4 cats. 🐱❤️ This experience taught me a lot about building trust with nervous animals, giving them the time and space they need, recognising their boundaries and helping them gradually feel safe and secure in a home environment. I also have extensive hands-on experience with dogs of different ages, personalities and needs. I have raised 3 puppies from around 8 weeks old, so I’m very familiar with the puppy stage and the patience and consistency it requires. I have experience with toilet training, establishing routines, basic commands, lead and walking practice, socialisation, play and all the usual puppy mischief! 🐶 Since I was 18, I have also cared for a very anxious dog at my family home who is both lead-reactive and dog-reactive. Because her reactivity stems from significant anxiety, I’ve gained a lot of practical experience understanding and safely managing reactive behaviour. I’m confident recognising potential triggers and early signs of stress, creating appropriate distance from other dogs, crossing roads or changing routes when necessary, using distraction and positive reinforcement, and remaining calm if a dog does react. I understand that reactive dogs aren’t “bad dogs” — they often need someone who understands their individual triggers, boundaries and what helps them feel safe. I’m therefore very happy to discuss walks and care for nervous, anxious or reactive dogs and follow the management techniques that work best for your individual dog. 🐕❤️ I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and individual needs, and I’ll never assume that what works for one animal will work for another. I’m always happy to follow your usual routine and take the time to get to know your pet so they can feel as comfortable and settled with me as possible. I offer dog walking, pet sitting, home drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, companionship and general care for both dogs and cats, as well as other pets where suitable. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, your cat needs some company while you’re away, or you simply need someone reliable to pop in for feeding, cuddles and attention, I’m happy to help. 🐾 I’m confident following individual feeding, walking and care routines and will always take the time to understand your pet’s behaviour, temperament and specific needs. I’m also happy to follow any particular instructions you have, whether that’s sticking to certain walking routes, avoiding particular triggers, feeding at specific times or adapting my approach for pets who are nervous or need a little extra patience and reassurance. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my priority. If I ever notice anything unusual or have any concerns while they’re in my care, I’ll contact you straight away, keep you fully informed and follow any instructions or emergency arrangements we’ve agreed beforehand. I know how important it is to feel reassured when somebody else is looking after your pet, so I always send photos and updates when I visit. 📸❤️ That way, you can see how they’re getting on and know they’re happy, safe and being well looked after. I have flexible availability across weekdays and weekends and can often accommodate different times and routines, subject to other bookings. Most importantly, I’ll always care for your pets with the same patience, kindness and attention I’d want for my own. 🐾❤️ I have very flexible availability throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, mornings and evenings, subject to other bookings. 🐾 I’m happy to work around you and your pet’s usual routine as much as possible, whether you need regular weekly dog walks, occasional walks, drop-in visits, feeding visits, pet sitting or care while you’re away. I understand how important routine can be for animals, particularly puppies, older pets and those who are nervous or anxious, so I’ll always do my best to keep visits, walks and feeding times consistent with what your pet is used to. I’m also happy to discuss more specific or unusual requirements — just send me a message and I’ll always try my best to accommodate you and your pet. ❤️ Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness will always be my priority. ❤️ I’m happy to care for dogs, cats and other pets in their own home, where they can stay in familiar surroundings and maintain their normal routine. I’ll follow your instructions as closely as possible, including feeding and fresh water, walks, toilet breaks, playtime, enrichment, companionship and any individual care requirements we’ve discussed. Before caring for your pet, I’ll take the time to understand their personality, routine, boundaries and any behaviours or triggers I need to be aware of. For nervous, anxious or reactive pets, I’ll never force interaction and will allow them to become comfortable with me at their own pace. 🐾 On dog walks, I’ll always prioritise safety and remain aware of our surroundings. I’ll follow any instructions regarding routes, other dogs, lead use and known triggers, and adapt the walk if necessary to keep your dog comfortable and safe. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, making sure doors, gates and other access points are secure when arriving and leaving. You’ll also receive photos and updates from me so you know your pet is safe, happy and being properly cared for while they’re with me. 📸❤️ If I ever notice anything unusual or have any concerns, I’ll contact you straight away.

All the dogs enjoy wondering deep into the forest till there's not a road in sight! We have a garden big enough for running and playing which we spend alot of time in. We provide great companionship and love to get out and about or just play in the garden. We offer the perfect break or weekend getaway for your furry friend with lots of love, games, and new sights and sounds. We're also perfectly situated if you're flying out from Stansted (10 minute drive) but don't worry we're not under any flight paths so your dog won't be bothered by any loud noises. A typical day at our home starts at around 7am straight out to the garden then breakfast all round. We'll either have a morning and evening walk or 1 long trip to the forest everyday followed by relaxing and playing in the garden. You'll be sure to get plenty of updates, pictures and videos! I love capturing beautiful pictures of our guests and there's always a cupboard filled with treats. We have some apple trees at the back of the garden, plus plenty of sticks and balls. - Today we enjoyed a dog friendly swim and dig at Mersea beach! Our home would best suit guests comfortable around other dogs as we will pass plenty of other owners in the forest however I'm happy to schedule walks during quieter times if they have a more nervous temperment. See all the fun we're having on my Facebook page- Bonny's Boarding I'm currently working part time Tuesday Thursday and Friday so I am home most days to care for your dog. I'll provide a walk in the morning and evening depending on energy levels. I've been awarded the highest grading of 5 stars for animal welfare in my recent inspection. I ensure that I fully understand the needs of all the dogs who stay with us before hand and review thier owner notes to make sure I'm confident with what to expect.
About: I’ve spent many years caring for my grandparents’ dogs and have always enjoyed being around dogs of all sizes and personalities. Through regular walks, feeding, playtime and looking after them while family were away, I’ve learned how important it is to keep pets happy, comfortable and following their normal routine. I understand that every dog is different, so I’ll always take the time to get to know their personality, energy levels and any specific needs they have. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, plenty of play or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy and well looked after. I offer flexible pet care around my work schedule and keep my availability on Rover fully up to date. I regularly provide dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week, with occasional house sitting when my schedule allows. When I accept a booking, I’ll always ensure I have the time to give your pet the attention, exercise and companionship they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you know exactly how they’re getting on. Your pet’s safety, comfort and routine are my top priorities. During walks, I’ll always keep dogs on a lead unless you’ve specifically requested otherwise and it’s safe to do so. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I’ll carefully follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, walking routine and any house rules you’ve provided. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll take the time to get to know their personality and make sure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll treat both your home and your pet with the same care and respect that I would expect for my own.

About: My family and friends often rely on me to care for their pets whilst they’re away. I have my own dog and cat at home, and have always lived with both. I would love to care for and hang out with everyone’s pets aswell! I currently work in a shop, where I often have days off, and I would like something to keep me busy. I am available on most Fridays after 3pm, and Tuesdays and Saturdays before 2pm! If the dates on my calendar don’t quite match, I could still be available as I have very flexible hours every week, just message me :) I have an elderly cat at home, who I have had in my life since a kitten. She suffers from kidney disease, so I am often cleaning up her messes and understand how strict her diet should be. My dog is only young but very energetic, and has a 1-2 hour everyday by me.
“Georgia helped us out last minute with some walks for our large breed boy. She has been friendly and responsive and he seemed very happy in her care. We would definitely use her services again!”

“Charlie was amazing with George. He was a little nervous when we first left him and Charlie kept me informed of his progress every step of the way. By the end I was worried he wouldn’t want to leave he was so happy. It was like I had left George with a family member. I was really put at ease with Charlie and will most defiantly use her again. This was the First time we have come back from holiday to a very content dog. Thank you xx”
“Lisa and her family are amazing. Our girls had the best time. They loved their little holiday and it was so nice leaving them and knowing they were happy. Thank you Lisa!”
“Lucy always enjoys her stays with Nicola who caters for Lucy's needs, including administering her insulin for her diabetes. I would thoroughly recommend Nicola to look after your dog.”

“Andrew once again saved the day by looking after Woody over the weekend. It was great to see Woody excited to see Andrew again and settle in so quickly. Woody was again, very well looked after, with Andrew staying in contact with me and even accommodated a change in my collection times without hesitation. Andrew's a fab guy and very reliable.”
“Lucy was absolutely wonderful with Amba. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. Amba looked happy and settled, and it was lovely to see how well she got on with Lucy’s dog, Babs. It was clear she was well looked after and had a great time. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Amba with Lucy again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. Thank you so much!”
“Our 12 year-old cockatoo, Lexi, had a great overnight boarding experience with Nick and his family. She came back very happy but also was very comfortable with them when I picked her up. We are so happy we have rebooked him for September!”
“Great dog sitter. My dog is an older dog and Lauren put effort into understanding my dogs needs and then looked after him over Christmas. Got updates, videos, and photos regularly and my dog came back a very happy boy. Thanks, highly recommend.”
“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.”
“This was the second time Monty stayed, and this time overnight. While he’s not the easiest puppy at the moment, she handled him brilliantly. She did such a wonderful job with him and I’m definitely booking again.”
“This was our first time using Rover and it all went very well. Melody took on board all we asked of her around caring for our lively German Shepherd, Meg, for the weekend. Melody sent us photos through the visit and we know our dog well - we could see she was happy. Meg seemed to have been enjoying herself when we picked her up. We would be happy to be repeat customers in the future. Thanks very much.”
“Katie was super nice and friendly, Molly has super happy after staying with her and her family! I just saw all the pictures and they gave her so muy love🥹❤️ I will definitely book again.”
“Georgia was fantastic and what an idyllic setting. Patch enjoyed his first time on a barge, but it won’t be his last as he’s going back for a couple of weeks in August. 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.

“Our Cavalier had a wonderful time with Cely especially as she took him for many walks, which he always enjoys. These walks were in sub-freezing temps, rain and maybe some sunny days - but Cely is committed! We know that Cely also made Griffyn feel at home - from the stories she shared as well as his reaction when we picked him up - he seemed to be hesitant to leave! Griffyn will be delighted to spend another stay with Cely. We highly recommend her.”
“Liz was brilliant! I have a very hyper / loud (barks a lot) 12 month old cocker spaniel, and Liz was brilliant with him. . She has even offered to have him again regardless of the barking! She is extremely friendly and always so quick to respond. Liz also sent me updates throughout the day of my pup to put my mind at ease. Would 100% recommend!”
