“It's great to know that your dog will be happy when you go away. Spud loves to be at Serena's (he get's excited at the front door when we drop him off!!), she keeps us informed while we are away and he settles back in at home as if he has never been away.”
“Vanessa looked after our miniature Schnauzer Eddie for a week while we were away. It is always hard to leave your beloved dog with someone but we were very happy with her care. She clearly loves dogs, is very experienced with them and is very attentive to your individual dog's needs. Also her own two little dogs were great with Eddie. He had lots of fun. Vanessa sent us photos every day which really put our minds at rest. Very happy to recommend Vanessa.”
“5 star border, amazing communication throughout. Marley was so happy and content staying with Sam and her small dog. She made marley feel so loved and welcome and I knew he was in safe hands. Will continue to use in the future. Thankyou sooo much.”

About: I have grown up surrounded by animals - from little hamsters and bunnies to all sorts of dogs! I've got lots of experience around different sized dogs so understand their temperaments, behaviour and overall fun nature. I absolutely love dogs and taking them for woodland adventures around our home. I have a baby at home too who absolutely loves meeting new furry faces! I am relied on to look after family and friend dogs, to keep them well fed and entertained, often exhausted by the time they return home! I'm currently on maternity leave and when I return to work I will be working from home so will be highly available for both weekdays and weekends! I'm currently on maternity leave, so I have plenty of time to cater to and play with your dog! Myself and my partner take our baby out on daily walks and like to switch up the locations to give her good stimulation - these include going to fields, parks, forests and river walks - so why not have your little furry friend come along and enjoy the fun? Being on maternity leave with the ability to work from home on my return enables me to be quite available and flexible with my time. I own a 3-bedroom/3-story house with a fenced garden, so there is ample space for your little fur ball to run around and explore! Having a baby at home ensures that everything is kept clean and tidy, so your dog will have enough space for all their kit!
“Words can’t say how happy I was with Chester’s care. It truly was home from home. I could see that he was treated as one of the family including the children. I liked that he could cuddle on the sofa in the evening with Jodie as he does with me at home and he had the freedom of the house. I would 100% recommend her. fabulous family environment”
“Chelsea is amazing! She took great care of our dog, sending regular updates and photos so we could stay connected while we were away. Her communication was excellent, and it was clear she had a real connection with our pomeranian- he didn't want to leave her house at the end of the stay! We'll definitely be booking her again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“We have had buddy for four years and always had our holidays in the UK and have been able to take him with us on holiday. We made the decision this year that we wanted to go abroad. We didn't want to put buddy in kennels and after searching the site settled on Mark. After a meet and greet we felt reassured and booked buddy in. While away Mark was sending us great photos and videos and provided us further reassurance that Buddy was having a great staycation. I would recommend him highly and would use Mark again.”
“Tom looked after Enola (our 18 month old flat coat retriever) and she had a great time. Tom was super flexible and kept us informed about our dog happiness with overwhelming us with information! We were able to kick back and enjoy a local festival (that did not allow dogs)!!”
“Teddy has an another amazing holiday with Paul and Sarah (as always). Amazing couple, always kept updated and knows Teddy very well 😆 🤣. Would definitely recommend 💯 %. Thanks guys ❤️”

“Sy was amazing looking after my Molly with consistent updates and photos, My cat is very shy so probably hid under the bed a lot but she seemed to be able to bring her out of her shell (a bit!!) I’m very happy with her care, and would definitely book again xx”
“I booked Ellie again to look after my cat, Luca - she's done a brilliant job as everything was clean and tidy and most importantly, Luca was very content on my return. Ellie gave me daily thoughtful updates whilst I was away and reassured me that my cat was doing well in my absence. Ellie is very friendly, professional and caring, thanks so much!”
“We can't recommend Alex enough after taking care of our boys over the Christmas period. He went out of his way to take the best care of them, while sending lots of pictures and updates each day. Both kitties seemed very content and relaxed and couldn't have had a better sitter. Thank you!”
“Laura was amazing! We have a rather shy cat, Eustace, so we were pleased that she was keen to come to meet him before we went away. She must 'talk cat', as Eustace came out from behind the sofa within minutes and let Laura talk to him and feed him treats. This was very reassuring for us. When we were away, Laura messaged us with detailed updates and photos. We could see that she was building a good relationship with him. We will definitely ask Laura to look after Eustace again. The only worry we had was that Eustace would be disappointed when we got home!”
“Montisha dropped in to look after my cat Pepper while I was away for a weekend. She was prompt and the communication before, during and after was excellent. I could see from the updates that Pepper took to her very quickly and was well looked after. I was confident Pepper was in safe hands and I've already rebooked for next time I'm away 😊”
“Jodi was wonderful with Arlo! Would 100% book with Jodi again. She sent us lots of updates throughout the day & Arlo seemed to have had a lovely time! Thank you! Xxx”
“Denise was great all week while sitting for Buffy. It was the first time I’ve had to leave her alone for so long, and Denise quickly put my mind at ease. We received photo or video updates every day so I could see that Buffy was completely comfortable around Denise. Would definitely book again.”
“Amanda was great with our two cats, Opal and Tourmaline. With one being very timid and the other very needy of attention, we were a bit worried to leave them; however, Amanda completely alleviated any stress or worry for the whole 2 weeks we were gone. Her communication was fab, and she was very observant of the girls' behaviour. Our ‘non-existent’ cat, Tourmaline, was very trusting and affectionate towards Amanda after only 3 days, so that’s a huge win for us (and shows a lot about Amanda's approach and nature). It was great to have updates and photos each day too, which really showed how well they were looked after. Will be using Amanda for cat-sitting going forward and highly recommend to anyone who is worried about leaving their fur babies.”
“Ren was brilliant! I couldn’t have been more comfortable leaving our dog in her care. Her communication was excellent and she’s clearly very experienced with animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask her back! I loved the photos, Ren, thank you SO much!”
“Tania was a wonderful cat sitter for us whilst we went away, she came in at short notice, did everything we asked, did her best to bond with our 2 cats despite them being very shy around new people. The daily updates were perfect & put us at ease as we had never used a service like this before. Cannot recommend Tania enough :)”
About: I have always loved cats. Having one of my own is the best feeling. I have looked after kittens and adult cats, so i would say i am experienced. I know when cats want to be left alone and when they want a cuddle (just like myself). I have looked after family and friends animals for days, nights and holidays. I am more than okay cleaning out the litter tray and any accidents if they are to occur.
About: Must be child friendly 💜 One of my favourite things to do when taking care of dogs is taking them on days out and visiting different dog friendly places with them - if that’s also their thing! We love to go on a lot of walks, staying active and stimulated. We also have a cemetery moments away which is popular to us dog walkers for all types of dog personalities due to the lead only rule - great for those that prefer to be on a walk uninterrupted. I know that some dogs do struggle with separation anxiety which is why one of my strategies is to take them out on a walk almost immediately after a drop off as it rather quickly settles them and helps them to form a bond and trust with me. They will receive lots of love, attention and play - your dog’s happiness will be my top priority. I believe that I am not providing just a care for your companions but also in a way, their owners too. You will receive lots of photos and updates throughout their stay, that is something extremely important to me to provide for you as I know how at ease it’ll make you feel whilst you’re away from your pets and I will want to make sure you can enjoy your time away with all the reassurance you need! - I lock in prices so if my fees are to go up in the future they will always remain at the original price for you. I work early during the day whilst my partner works during the night, there will always be someone here at the house for your dog! I will like to know your routine to keep it as similar as it is when they’re at home I can. We will love for you to bring their home comforts.

“Finding Mark in Rover has been an absolute relief, my dog Harley hates being left alone while i'm at work but I was so worried about leaving him with a complete stranger, Mark has made the whole process so reassuring and Harley clearly already feels comfortable and completely at home. I would recommend Mark to anyone requiring care of there furr baby!!”

About: I work from home and live with my little 3 year old Labrador. I’ve looked after many dogs previously and quite often end up with my families dogs coming to stay as well. I’m up and out by 7ish with my Labrador, and she gets 3 good walks a day, either at the park or the beach or longer on a weekend when we can go exploring I have a fenced garden with grass and patio, my dog is very friendly and sociable so will play nicely along with others. I work from home so plenty of toilet breaks and multiple cuddles during the day

About: I love all animals, and will treat them with the love and care I'd want for my best friend (Lottie, golden doodle/golden oldie). I grew up with dogs - mostly spaniels, and my human baby is being raised a dog (and animal) lover too! My family is me, my wife, our baby, a dog (Lottie, my bestie), and a tortoise (mushroom) 🍄 🐢 I joined Rover to support my family flexibly around childcare and other work (looking after children). We've had pets before with medical needs like an FIV+ cat, dogs that need physio etc. We've also had and looked after exotic pets like bearded dragons, leopard geckos and snakes. I love all animals, big or small - including rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish etc. I've also had a long career looking after children and vulnerable people with varying needs - so I hope this shows that I'm compassionate, caring and trustworthy. I'm looking to fill my life with things I love, like hanging out with animals, my family and candle making! For boarding, please make sure you're happy for your pet to stay with the rest of my family. For some walks I might bring my little one and/or Lottie fluff ball - but I'd check that's okay with you first 😊 Please let me know if you have any questions about me, my experience or my family. Thank you for trusting me to take care of your fur-baby (or scaley, finned or otherwise)! I've recently become a Dad to a lovely little baby who already gets so excited when he sees dogs or plays ball with them. I've also started a hand-made candle company. So, I'm quite flexible with hours as I go out with my baby and my dog at any time of day. I'm also happy to do solo walks if you prefer, just let me know! For walkies: Christchurch park is one of our favourite walks. We also love Holywells, Bourne park, the Dales, and Bramford Meadows. I can take your dog(s) in the car if you have appropriate harnesses - or we have ones you can borrow (for medium size dogs). Or we can just go for a local stroll. Let me know if you'd be happy for me to walk your dog with my dog and/or human baby - or if they'd prefer a solo walk 👣🐾 For sitting: I will always treat your home with respect, like taking my shoes off and making sure windows and doors are locked when I leave. I'll follow any and all rules of how you'd like me to look after your pet and/or home. For boarding: We have a long, good-sized garden that is fenced. Lottie has a lot of dog toys that she's happy to share. We have a tortoise, dog and human baby - so your pet will have to be comfortable with that. P.s. We make home made snacks for dogs - like dried liver. Please let me know if your dog has any dietary requirements

“Dougie had a great time with Frances. He came home very content and sleepy so I’m sure he had a great day. Frances was amazing with communication as well - won’t hesitate to use again!”
“Thank you Milly for taking care of our furbabies for doggie day care for the first time. Milly gave great direction for home stay and the car park. Brilliant communication throughout the process. Giving excellent update, activities and photos.”
About: I have had dogs in various shapes and sizes since I was a child. A Jack Russell that lived to 17, a rescued Great Dane, a beautiful Weimaraner (the love of my life, sadly missed) and now a 3 year old Bedlington terrier. I also work part time at ITFC and have been DBS checked 👍 Unlike other sitters who will take two, three or even four dogs we will only have one guest dog at a time, this means we can give more attention to your dog. I’m now retired and thought I’d try my hand at dog care. We live in a bungalow on the outskirts of Ipswich surrounded by fields and great walks for dogs (on or off the lead). We also have a large garden that is fully fenced in. I would treat every pet as if it were my own, lots of walks and stimulating play time, I hate to see bored dogs. To encourage good behaviour I set ground rules for my own dog and would expect the guest dog to be able to follow the same simple instructions. This would help to create a calm and relaxed environment.

“Honestly amazing. After just 1 day, Luna is already so excited when we pull up outside Kristina’s house. Very welcoming and friendly and Luna always comes away very happy and tired!❤️”
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.

“Would thoroughly recommend Colin if you’re looking for dog care. He took the time to meet Finn (and us) prior to sitting and sent an update on the day to let us know Finn had settled well in his home. I’d hope to use him again if he’s available.”

“Jasmine is reliable, helpful and importantly attentive to my pooches needs. William is well looked after on his walks. Having a walker is a new thing for us and I could not recommend anyone more. Thanks Jasmine!”
About: Hi! I'm Ren and I'm 29, based in Suffolk. Growing up with dogs, cats, ducks, chickens, horses, and rabbits, I've nurtured a deep understanding of their needs and behaviours, treating each furry or feathered friend with the utmost care and affection. I've successfully trained dogs in essential commands and behaviours, including the joy of attending specialised agility classes. Over eight years of owning huskies has taught me invaluable lessons in patience and the importance of individualised attention. By choosing me as your pet sitter, you're selecting a devoted caregiver who will treat your pet as part of my own extended family. Their happiness, safety, and comfort are my heartfelt priorities 🥰 Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine, especially since I work from home. This allows me the flexibility to provide constant companionship and attention to your pet throughout the day. Whether it's regular feeding schedules, playtime breaks, or ensuring they get their daily exercise, I prioritise their well being as a natural part of my daily schedule. It also means I can be readily available for any unexpected needs or extra cuddle sessions your pet may require, ensuring they feel loved and cared for at all times. **Drop In’s’ - For a 60 minute visit, I include a 30 minute walk. If it’s a 30 minute visit, I typically aim for a quick 15 minute stroll or play in the garden, to ensure there’s still time for play, feeding, and getting everything all settled before I have to leave ☺️ When pets are in my home, I create a comfortable environment with designated spaces for rest and play. I ensure they get regular exercise, nutritious meals, and plenty of affection. When caring for pets in their own homes, I maintain their routines, provide companionship, and respect their environment while keeping owners updated on their well being. Whether in my home or theirs, I treat each pet with love and attention as if they were my own.
About: Hi! I’m Mai — I’ve been a dog owner for over 10 years and have lots of experience puppy-sitting and dog-sitting for friends and family. I absolutely love dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s a walk, a cuddle, or just hanging out. I’m calm, patient, and reliable, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m familiar with different temperaments and needs, and I always aim to make dogs feel safe, happy, and relaxed in my care. Looking forward to meeting your pup! I am currently working as part time, my schedule allows me to be flexible, especially in the early mornings, evenings, and weekends — perfect for walks, drop-ins, or pet-sitting. I have fenced garden - my flat is safe to keep dogs, while they have space to have zoomies. I have two dogs myself hence the pup proof flat.
“We met Stuart, his very friendly, professional and you can see he have a lot of passion for dogs. Our Jack Russel has gone blind also called Stewart. When we saw add we just felt its meant to be. Stuart has taken our doggie out for walks and will also be looking after him when we go abroad. I will definitely recommend Stuart. So happy I find him to look after our fur doggie. Thank yu”
About: I have grown up with all sizes and temperaments of dogs and have experience with puppies to senior dogs. Animals are family and I will treat yours as mine. I am lucky to not ' be in work ' for 3 days so can offer flexibility and I have time to care each pet individually. I am DBS enhanced, non smoking and a working Mum so used to keeping a house tidy and safe. I live close to parks, great walks and a vets!
About: I love all animals, and will treat them with the love and care I'd want for my best friend (Lottie, golden doodle/golden oldie). I grew up with dogs - mostly spaniels, and my human baby is being raised a dog (and animal) lover too! My family is me, my wife, our baby, a dog (Lottie, my bestie), and a tortoise (mushroom) 🍄 🐢 I joined Rover to support my family flexibly around childcare and other work (looking after children). We've had pets before with medical needs like an FIV+ cat, dogs that need physio etc. We've also had and looked after exotic pets like bearded dragons, leopard geckos and snakes. I love all animals, big or small - including rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish etc. I've also had a long career looking after children and vulnerable people with varying needs - so I hope this shows that I'm compassionate, caring and trustworthy. I'm looking to fill my life with things I love, like hanging out with animals, my family and candle making! For boarding, please make sure you're happy for your pet to stay with the rest of my family. For some walks I might bring my little one and/or Lottie fluff ball - but I'd check that's okay with you first 😊 Please let me know if you have any questions about me, my experience or my family. Thank you for trusting me to take care of your fur-baby (or scaley, finned or otherwise)! I've recently become a Dad to a lovely little baby who already gets so excited when he sees dogs or plays ball with them. I've also started a hand-made candle company. So, I'm quite flexible with hours as I go out with my baby and my dog at any time of day. I'm also happy to do solo walks if you prefer, just let me know! For walkies: Christchurch park is one of our favourite walks. We also love Holywells, Bourne park, the Dales, and Bramford Meadows. I can take your dog(s) in the car if you have appropriate harnesses - or we have ones you can borrow (for medium size dogs). Or we can just go for a local stroll. Let me know if you'd be happy for me to walk your dog with my dog and/or human baby - or if they'd prefer a solo walk 👣🐾 For sitting: I will always treat your home with respect, like taking my shoes off and making sure windows and doors are locked when I leave. I'll follow any and all rules of how you'd like me to look after your pet and/or home. For boarding: We have a long, good-sized garden that is fenced. Lottie has a lot of dog toys that she's happy to share. We have a tortoise, dog and human baby - so your pet will have to be comfortable with that. P.s. We make home made snacks for dogs - like dried liver. Please let me know if your dog has any dietary requirements

“Lubomira spoilt my Maya rotten! I was showered with photos and videos the whole time I was away to keep me at ease and let me know what she was up to! Maya thoroughly enjoyed her stay. I have already rebooked!! Thank you very much for looking after my fur baby so well :)”
About: Since a young age I’ve always looked after family’s pets whilst they’re away on holiday. I frequently look after my friends dogs / cats whilst they go away either at theirs or mine. I love long walks & getting fresh air and am a huge animal lover. I work part time as a care and support worker, I spend a lot of time at home & in the garden in my spare time I have a fully fenced garden, with space to have a run around, I have room for anything you’d like to bring over to the house.
“It's great to know that your dog will be happy when you go away. Spud loves to be at Serena's (he get's excited at the front door when we drop him off!!), she keeps us informed while we are away and he settles back in at home as if he has never been away.”
“5 star border, amazing communication throughout. Marley was so happy and content staying with Sam and her small dog. She made marley feel so loved and welcome and I knew he was in safe hands. Will continue to use in the future. Thankyou sooo much.”
About: I have a vast experience with large dogs from all backgrounds, I have been in rescue for the English bull terrier welfare since I was 16, and my parents were rescuing since I was a boy. we have a lovely 3 bedroom home where there is no restrictions for them, with a fenced garden, and a 5 minute walk from the meadows, where there is lovely stream for them to paddle. I work from home, so I am available all day for the dogs we look after. they get walked two times a day down at the meadows, which also has a lovely stream they can paddle in. we have a lovely 3 bedroom home which has no restrictions. the dogs can go where they please. with a nice garden for them, along with a spacious kitchen. they are free to go in and out of the garden as they please. we also walk frank twice a day at the meadow.
About: I have grown up surrounded by animals - from little hamsters and bunnies to all sorts of dogs! I've got lots of experience around different sized dogs so understand their temperaments, behaviour and overall fun nature. I absolutely love dogs and taking them for woodland adventures around our home. I have a baby at home too who absolutely loves meeting new furry faces! I am relied on to look after family and friend dogs, to keep them well fed and entertained, often exhausted by the time they return home! I'm currently on maternity leave and when I return to work I will be working from home so will be highly available for both weekdays and weekends! I'm currently on maternity leave, so I have plenty of time to cater to and play with your dog! Myself and my partner take our baby out on daily walks and like to switch up the locations to give her good stimulation - these include going to fields, parks, forests and river walks - so why not have your little furry friend come along and enjoy the fun? Being on maternity leave with the ability to work from home on my return enables me to be quite available and flexible with my time. I own a 3-bedroom/3-story house with a fenced garden, so there is ample space for your little fur ball to run around and explore! Having a baby at home ensures that everything is kept clean and tidy, so your dog will have enough space for all their kit!
“Words can’t say how happy I was with Chester’s care. It truly was home from home. I could see that he was treated as one of the family including the children. I liked that he could cuddle on the sofa in the evening with Jodie as he does with me at home and he had the freedom of the house. I would 100% recommend her. fabulous family environment”
“Tom looked after Enola (our 18 month old flat coat retriever) and she had a great time. Tom was super flexible and kept us informed about our dog happiness with overwhelming us with information! We were able to kick back and enjoy a local festival (that did not allow dogs)!!”
“Teddy has an another amazing holiday with Paul and Sarah (as always). Amazing couple, always kept updated and knows Teddy very well 😆 🤣. Would definitely recommend 💯 %. Thanks guys ❤️”
“I can not praise Kirsteen highly enough. Bobbi & Reg have just spent 6 nights with her & the lovely Sybil & I think they would have easily stayed for longer. Bobbi unfortunately has gone onto permanent medication since the initial booking, which Kirsteen took in her stride happily. I received regular updates & pictures of them enjoying their time together. I am extremely grateful & would not hesitate to recommend or use this lovely lady again . Many thanks Sandie, Bobbi & Reg 🐾 😂”
“Bianca was amazing! Our dog was well loved after, walked, fed, she even let her sleep in her bed! I got all the pictures they were lovely. Definitely will be leaving Jazzy with you again, thank you very much!”
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.
“Absolutely wonderful and friendly family that we have used several times to look ok after our dog whilst away. Our dog "Rambo" always seems to have had a great time. We were provided regular photos and updates throughout our time away. Would 100% recommend. No complaints at all.”
About: I am friendly, calm and patient with dogs and understand they all have different personalities. I am genuinely dog obsessed and can offer lots of one to one attention. I am currently working part time so can offer your dog plenty of love, cuddles, walks and play time tailored to your dogs specific needs. Dog are family in my house and they are allowed to sit on the sofa for cuddles and are kept safe while playing in the garden by secure fencing.
“Mac’s stay with Emma was great. I think he had a nice holiday while I was away on my holiday. He settled back into his routine at home quickly and he is very happy so that shows he was well looked after by Emma and her family. Thanks Emma.”
“Kristina is amazing! She’s so lovely and sent so many updates, photos and videos! She took our Rosie out with other dogs which we really appreciated as Rosie loves any other dog. Kristina was the best sitter we’ve had! X”
