Jill agreed to look after Snoopy for a week with a very short notice. We received daily photos and updates. Snoopy is a high energy dog and Jill made sure she had a lot of play time and walks every day throughout the week. Thank you 😊

This is our first time using Rover and we could not be any happier with the choice we met. Judit and her family took wonderful care of our dog. Due to being July and our normal kennels fully booked , Rover came as a life saviour. We are fully recommending Judit and her family; they are professional, friendly and K had a home from home. Beautiful pictures and our dog was so happy there We will be using them again in the future! Thank you, Anca and James!

Tom was great in looking after our two dogs last minute! One of them is just a 15wk old puppy, and it was her first night away from us, but Tom was very accommodating and reassuring, and she seemed right at home. Will book again :)

Dan looked after our dog for a week. Ollie is blind and diabetic, so he needs insulin injections twice a so finding someone we can trust is extremely important. In the photos Dan sent, Ollie looked happy and comfortable. When he came home, he didn't even give us the usual sulky look that sometimes happens after we've been away! 🤣 We felt relaxed knowing Ollie was in good hands. We will definitely contact Dan again before our next holiday. Thank you, Dan!

About: I have experience with a wide range of dogs which I have had the privilege of caring for - my own and in a professional capacity. For the last three years I have worked full-time with dogs in day care - as a sitter and as a dog walker. I welcome any dogs that do need a little more time, care and patience as well as those that just need some happiness in their day when you can't be there to provide it yourself. I can cater for puppies, seniors and any special needs that might be required. I have completed training in Canine Care, Canine Psycology. I am also a qualified animal reiki therapist and avalible for treatments. I have experiance as a Cat owner and also as a Rabbit and Guinea pig Mum and am happy to take on care of these little guys as well . Fully insured and DBS checked. All certificates avalible on request. I am avaliable for walks, drop-ins, day care and sitting Monday-Sunday. I only care for one household at a time for walks and when pet sitting so I can devote all my attention on your pets needs and giving them a happy time when you are away. I cater for dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs, individual needs and requirments in your own home, and at mine. I have a fenced garden, great walks on our doorstep, on the beach, in woodland and over open fields. We also have an enclosed dog field nearby that I use for secure off-lead runs and outdoor chill out time.

About: I am fortunate to have been around dogs most of my life, naming bichon frise, poodles and cockapoo as only a small example of the dogs that I have had exposure to. As a dog owner I understand the worry and concern of leaving your dog in someone else’s company and therefore what sets me apart is that I am more than happy to provide you with regular updates whilst you are away. Your dog will be treated as my own whilst I look after them, providing them with the utmost care and attention. I also own a Cockapoo and so they will also have a playmate should they wish to socialise! I currently work full-time however my weekends are spent at home relaxing and taking my dog for walks and so I am available for caring for your dog and boarding on a Friday and Saturday night. My back garden has plenty of room for the dogs to run around in and is also fully enclosed. I own a Cockapoo to keep your dog company should they wish to socialise. I will treat your dog as my own however also happy to follow your wishes if you don’t want the dogs on beds / sofas etc.

Ellie, is a lovely friendly lady who clearly loves dogs. She looked after my dog for 3 days and regularly sent me photos of her enjoying her stay. She has an enclosed garden where my dog liked playing ball. She took her out for interesting walks twice a day after which she was allowed to snuggle up on the sofa.

About: Me and my partner have had dogs all our lives. We have had two dobermans and one rescue beagle cross. We still have one Doberman and the beagle within our family. We have two children age 5 and 7 who have been brought up with our dogs and our very dog savvy. We are experienced with big breeds and also small. Our dogs are treated like family, two walks a day we live in the country so field walks mainly, they are allowed in the house and on the sofa and if they can sneak on the bed they will try haha! There is always someone at home generally as I work from home part time so never left long period of time. Both our dogs love other dogs they have always been well socialised. I work two days from home and the other days I am around at home and you dogs will never be left for long periods of time. I have a large fenced garden which is secure. The fence is 1m high as we back onto fields and is gated at the side.

About: Whether it’s early morning walks, cozy cuddle sessions, or just being a calm and consistent presence, I believe every pet deserves love, respect, and a safe environment. I pay close attention to their needs, love learning about animal behavior, and always treat them like part of the family. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a wagging tail or hearing a happy purr!

Charlotte was brilliant and so wonderful with Rusty, it was the first time we have left him and had someone come in to see him and let him out. Even though he was a little nervous Charlotte communicated with me straight away and encouraged him gently out into the garden for a wee and a play. Charlotte communicated with me the whole time she was with Rusty and really reassured me that he was okay! Thank you for being so lovely and brilliant with Rusty

About: I’ve helped my parents walking our dog since he was a puppy. I’ll feed him on time and company him when his family aren’t around. I’ll make sure he has a familiar person during thunderstorms and fireworks. I’m currently working part time and will be free most days of the week. I’m an animal person so they fit in perfectly with my free time. I have a fenced and good sized garden where my dog can safely play and have fun. I make sure my dog has a walk and playtime. He has his food accordingly and a relaxing evening before bed.

About: I’m a fun, caring animal lover who just wants the best for all animals! I currently volunteer at the Blue Cross and I’ve previously run a kennels & cattery so am confident with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes and breeds. I’ve also worked for 2 zoos - one a mobile zoo with smaller animals such as reptiles and meerkats and the other a large zoo with everything from penguins to zebras so I’m used to a whole host of animal traits and characters, as well as meeting their needs. My work is very flexible and I work from home most of the time - if I do need to go out I often take the dog/s staying with me along, so they can enjoy a walk somewhere new at the same time🙂 My approach to looking after your pets? With love! Having had my own dogs since I was a child and more recently lost my elderly Mastiff cross Bordeaux, I know what it’s like as an owner to leave your pet with someone else. I therefore aim to make both you and your pet as comfortable as can be while you’re away and am very flexible to meets yours and their needs.

About: Working from home on my product brand means either laying in the sun or cuddled up on the sofa. Being available all day means my dog Marco gets constant attention, it’s just a shame he’s more interested in other dogs affection. Your dog gets genuinely real constant company. I’m fully available to pay as much attention as the dog needs, I work around my dogs need for affection. We like to, cuddle, train and go for long walks on the beach. I have an enclosed garden with patio and grass for playing in. Marco is happy to share his toys. The house is a free for all for my dog.

About: What sets me apart is the constant care and attention your dog will receive. I spent a lot of time with our family bulldog Drax, who has since passed, so I have real, hands-on experience with daily dog care and a deep understanding of their needs. I work from home, so dogs are never left alone and get plenty of companionship throughout the day. Depending on the age and health of your dog we can make walks on my lunch break longer or shorter, and adjust any weekend activities! I have a sunny, fenced garden with patio doors so your pup can enjoy being indoors and out, we also have a field at the back for nice walks.

About: I have been caring for dogs of all kinds since I was 14 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family regularly rely on my help when it comes to pet sitting, feeding, and taking dogs for long, active walks. In 2021, I gained experience working at a dog daycare for six months, where I learned how to manage groups of dogs and care for their diverse needs. I have experience with both energetic puppies and senior dogs. I treat every pet individually, prioritizing their safety and well-being. Dogs are my passion, and spending time with them brings me genuine joy. Unfortunately, I don't currently have any pets. I would like to have a dog in the future but I can't afford it right now. I am currently studing, which allows me to be very flexible with my schedule. I attend classes only on Fridays and Saturdays, so I am fully available to care for your pets from Sunday to Thursday. I am dedicated to my personal growth and treat pet sitting with great responsibility, ensuring I have plenty of time for walks, play, and proper care throughout the week. Safety and trust are my top priorities. When caring for pets, I ensure a secure and calm environment tailored to their needs. I am a person who constantly learns and develops new skills to provide the best possible care. Whether in my home or yours, I maintain a strict routine, keep a close eye on the animals at all times, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. If I am carrying for owners dogs I usually send pictures every single day to show that their pupils are safe and happy.

Monty had clearly had a lovely day with Mark and the other dog that Mark was sitting for that day. Mark sent lots of photos and updates and let me know how he was getting on. Monty is highly food motivated and an accomplished thief which Mark managed well. Monty looked very relaxed and was quite happy to settle back in the other dog's bed when I arrived to take him home.

Maya spent a few days at France’s home, and she was so well cared for. Maya looked comfortable and settled in quickly. Frances made sure she had attention throughout the day, and it was lovely to receive little updates and photos so we knew how she was getting on. Maya came home happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoyed her time there. We’re really pleased to have found someone so reliable, friendly, and caring. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend France’s and will definitely book with her again!

About: I have a hands on experience caring for a variety of animals. I currently look after 11 pets of my own, including 9 cats and 2 dogs, so I’m confident managing multiple pets while giving each one proper attention. I’ve raised four cats from kittens, so I understand the needs of young animals, including feeding, routine, and socialisation. I also make sure all my pets are happy by buying them new toys each month! Additionally, I have experience with pets that need extra attention, including an elderly deaf dog and high maintenance breeds. Although I work full time, my shifts are either mornings or evenings, which gives me flexibility and time in between to provide attention and care. When caring for pets in an owners home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible to keep the pets comfortable and stress free. I also like to know what the pets favourite toys and treats are so I can surprise them time to time!

About: I have a genuine love of animals and practical experience of caring for neighbours, friends and family pets. I also have theoretical knowledge a level 3 extended diploma in animal management. I am confident with daily walks, feeding schedules, following care instructions and making sure pets are safe, happy and always looked after whilst in my care. I am reliable, trustworthy and caring and will treat dogs as if they are my own. From Mondays to Fridays I currently volunteer for the Essex Wildlife Trust so I am flexible and free to dog walk and house sit your pets including at weekends. I train and play football for a local club but am happy to accommodate looking after your much loved pet around these commitments. From the beginning I will want to get to know your pet so I will spend time bonding with them, playing, talking and keeping them company. I know that pets like consistency so I will stay close to their normal routine which I will ensure I fully understand by asking for clear instructions from you. This includes knowing feeding times, portion sizes and any dietary needs and health requirements, where and when they are walked and their comfort toys and sleeping habits. I will add details of your vet to my pet plan should a medical emergency arise. If your pet uses your garden I will check that the gate is closed and the fences are secure before letting them out and I will then supervise and clean up their mess. I will send you regular updates and photos and of course report anything of concern immediately. I appreciate that it's not only your pet that I am responsible for but also your home which I will do my best to keep clean and tidy and follow any house rules that you give me.

About: I’m a fun, caring animal lover who just wants the best for all animals! I currently volunteer at the Blue Cross and I’ve previously run a kennels & cattery so am confident with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes and breeds. I’ve also worked for 2 zoos - one a mobile zoo with smaller animals such as reptiles and meerkats and the other a large zoo with everything from penguins to zebras so I’m used to a whole host of animal traits and characters, as well as meeting their needs. My work is very flexible and I work from home most of the time - if I do need to go out I often take the dog/s staying with me along, so they can enjoy a walk somewhere new at the same time🙂 My approach to looking after your pets? With love! Having had my own dogs since I was a child and more recently lost my elderly Mastiff cross Bordeaux, I know what it’s like as an owner to leave your pet with someone else. I therefore aim to make both you and your pet as comfortable as can be while you’re away and am very flexible to meets yours and their needs.

About: I’ve always been surrounded by animals as I’ve grown up, unfortunately living in a flat and working full time I have not been able to have one of my own. However, I have looked after my friends pets and also used Borrow my Doggy so I could walk a dog and take care of one. I took particular care of one dog I bonded with for a couple of years and took him in for the day and would go walks and check in on him whilst his owner was at work. I have had a cat with a disability for 10 years however she has mainly stayed at my mother’s address whilst I moved for work and university. I have made sure when I look after medication needs, special diet and also check on her special care needs daily when I am back with her. I have also had to manage medical emergencies for her with taking her urgently to the vets multiple times. I currently take care of my housemates cat as well as also taking care of cats from a client I met on here for over a year with continued rebooks. I have a long term partner whom is fully vetted from his work and he helps support if required around my shift work to provide extra care for your little one. I am friendly and love to be around animals. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask me! I currently work full time on a shift schedule, so I don’t always have the same days off working 6 days mornings or evenings on (about 8 hours) and 3 days off. I works shifts so the timing will vary when I work. My office is based in Chelmsford and I will be unable to leave during my shifts but I can do before and after work if needed. My partner is able to assist in between visits is required. I am happy to work around this if possible for you to ensure the best care for your little one! Message me for information about this! I will ensure that I maintain the routine you have set in your home for your little one and that their routine isn’t disturbed to ensure healthy habits! I will have the most respect in your home and if you have any requests such as plant watering etc. let me know too! I will ensure that your home is kept clean and tidy!

This is our first time using Rover and we could not be any happier with the choice we met. Judit and her family took wonderful care of our dog. Due to being July and our normal kennels fully booked , Rover came as a life saviour. We are fully recommending Judit and her family; they are professional, friendly and K had a home from home. Beautiful pictures and our dog was so happy there We will be using them again in the future! Thank you, Anca and James!

Jenson had his longest stay with Serena to date and we felt comfortable leaving him in her care. She updated us daily and made sure to meet all of his needs, even though he can be a bit a difficult at times! Unfortunately Jenson needed a trip to the vets during his stay, due to a grass seed in his paw, but Serena and Colin took very good care of him and had no issues taking him to his registered practice. We would 100% recommend!

We were very pleased with the care Gitana provided for our dog, Coco, over the two days he stayed with her. She kept us updated regularly with messages, photos, and progress reports, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from the start that Gitana is both an experienced dog sitter and a genuine dog lover. Coco was well cared for, happy, and comfortable in her company. We really appreciated the attention, affection, and professionalism she showed throughout. I would happily use Gitana's services again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and experienced dog sitter. Thank you, Gitana, for looking after Coco so well! 🐾😊

This was the first time we had left Udon with anyone and he got on really well. We were very happy and would definitely recommend.

Kezia looked after our Weimeraner, Salto, and we can't recommend her enough. This was Salto's first time away and as he struggles the separation anxiety, we weren't sure how he would cope. Well we had no need to worry, Salto settled incredibly quickly and had a fantastic time, he has come home super happy and relaxed, which is better than any review I can give. Kezia kept us updated the whole weekend with plenty of photos, which we really appreciated and nothing was too much to ask. I've already started looking at more weekends away and won't hesitate to use Kezia again. Thank you! ✨

I am so grateful as I was devastated that I wasn’t by her side. I will never be able to thank her enough for being a comfort to our little Pebbles in her time of need Xx

A lovely time! Excellent care. Very happy dogs. Sarah, Christian & their sweet dog Bella gave our two such a welcome. A real holiday for them both, with plenty of updates of their daily adventures. Plenty of exercise to keep our energetic spaniels content and a warmth from the family that was palpable. Thank you for such care.
