“Lloyd is a fantastic sitter who I would definitely recommend. Winnie settled really quickly despite this being her first rover and she got on really well with Lloyd’s dog, Hudson. Lloyd sent updates with photos whilst I was away which was really reassuring. And when I went to pick Winnie up, she wanted to stay which is an obvious sign that she had a great time!”

“Pepper had a fantastic stay with simon and family whilst we were away, easy drop off, regular updates whilst away and its always great to see photos of your dog cuddled up and relaxed. Genuinely could not have been happier. I returned to a very happy dog. If I could give 10 stars I would.”

About: Hi! I’m a full-time worker living in Thorndon with my little cat and my partner Ethan (also a pet sitter). I love spending time with animals — and since I have a cat, I’ll take any excuse for dog cuddles! 🐾 I’m happy to do drop-ins, house sitting, and dog walks (short or long), including travelling further if needed. I work Monday–Friday, 7am–3pm, so I’m free most afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I’m flexible with timings. Comfortable with animals of all sizes. DBS checked. I currently work full time 7am -3pm mon - fri so can provide care in the afternoons/evenings. I am almost always free over the weekends.

About: I’ve owned dogs and other animals my whole life, training them from both 8 week old puppies and rescue dogs of various ages. I currently don’t have the capacity to own my own pet but still want that unconditional human animal interaction. I’m more than happy to train young pets and take your pets on as long a walk as you’d like. I’m new to the pet sitter career but I’ve been looking after pets unpaid my whole life. I also work in conservation so my heart is in animals and wildlife. I’m currently working 9-5 weekdays in conservation but I can give my whole weekend and Friday evening to your dog, taking it on walks, training it or just letting it chill out. I live in a very quiet area with my partner with a garden and a big green behind my house. Your dog would even have its own sanctuary bedroom for it to have some of its own time to decompress if needed. I have a fenced garden but unfortunately not dog proof yet but I can take your dog on plenty of walks and runs and out on the village green on a lead. Your dog would be my main priority and I wouldn’t leave it alone if you didn’t want me to.
About: Lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities. I've looked after many happy Rover guests with my husband and am now welcoming them through my own profile. Your dog will enjoy a loving home, plenty of attention, and over 2 acres of fully fenced, secure garden to explore and play safely. I work from home, so your dog will rarely be left alone and will always have company throughout the day. I have a large, comfortable home with air conditioning for hot summer days, plus over 2 acres of fully fenced, secure garden where dogs can safely run, play, explore, or simply relax. I tailor the day to each dog's energy level and routine, making sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. Your dog's safety, comfort, and routine are our top priorities. I have a friendly 9-year-old Labrador who loves the company of other dogs and gets on well with canine visitors. I follow your dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any medication if required. I'm also happy to accommodate their preferred sleeping arrangements—whether that's in our bedroom, their own bed, another room, or a crate—so they feel as relaxed and at home as possible.
About: Hi, I’m Maria! 🐾 I am home full-time with my dog Teddy by my side. We love canine company and would be delighted to welcome your furry friend into our home. I'm available for full day care, and possibly overnight stays. Our home is calm and child-free, making it an ideal environment for dogs who need a peaceful space. Teddy is a small dog who is great with other dogs and enjoys having playmates to share his day with. We have a secure garden where they can play safely. Since I'm here around the clock, your dog will receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout their stay -they'll never be left alone for long periods. I’m at home all day. My little dog is walked by 10am most mornings and then has the use of the garden for the rest of the day. In the nicer weather he may get more walks!! I have a secure garden for dogs to enjoy, including a safely fenced-off pond area so they can explore while staying protected. Safety is always my priority.
“Faride is friendly, helpful and clearly loves dogs and looks after them like her own. Oreo had a great time and was very happy to stay. We were sent regular photos and videos and could see how happy he was. I have already booked her again.”

About: Hi, I’m Rachael — a Zoology student with a lifelong passion for animals and hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets, from dogs and rabbits to birds and exotic animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always aim to provide patient, loving, and reliable care tailored to them individually.

During drop-in visits, I can feed pets, refresh water, provide enrichment and attention, let dogs out for toilet breaks, clean up if needed, and make sure they are settled before leaving. I know how difficult it can be trusting someone else with your pets because they truly are family members. My goal is always to make both pets and owners feel relaxed, comfortable, and confident while in my care. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind.

I never walk my pets in areas I am unfamiliar with to avoid any safety concerns when out and about.
“Paula was so very kind and caring towards our cat and helped very much even when he was unwell. She kept in touch and sent pictures and videos of him.

“Emma and Mike were fantastic with Bruno this week. They were able to help with early drop off and later pick ups for day care as we both work long shifts. They kept us updated throughout the day with pictures of Bruno and what he had been doing. He came back happy and relaxed every day. We have already booked for the next dates we need and would have no issue recommending to friends who need someone to look after their dog.”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life quite literally, my first present as a newborn straight out of hospital was a gorgeous black ball of fur aka Tyson a German shepherd puppy and from that day on we were inseparable…. Needless to say now gsd’s are my favorite breed and will always be my favorite butttt and that’s a very big but all dogs of all shapes and sizes hold a special place in my heart. I get on with dogs better then I do humans forming special bonds and an instant attachment to any dog I lay eyes on. I can’t go anywhere without stopping whoever has a dog and asking them if I can make a fuss of them so I thought I would put this love or obsession whatever you like to call it to good use and help others and welcome your dogs into my home where they will be loved like my own and part of our pack… food bowls washed throughly after every use and water bowls washed every time it’s refilled. Long walks every day or even 2 times a day and no I’m not talking a hour at a time I’m talking 3-4 hours I believe dogs should be outside exploring not inside all day… mental stimulation is a must… I’m not saying I’m perfect I’m just saying I know what I’m doing 🥰🥰 I am currently a stay at home mum who is looking for an extra income to contribute more to my household and my family? So I have availability pretty much all day every day from 10 AM up until 2 o’clock I am free and from 4:30 till whenever you need I am free. I will have my children with me if you are happy with that I have a baby and a toddler that don’t go to school yet if it’s at the weekend, then I will be Child free. This does not affect my ability to do my job as I have pets myself and I look after them with my children. If your dogs are other dog friendly, I’m happy for your dogs to join us, if not that’s ok too I can take them separately. I have two dogs myself who are more than happy to keep your dogs company. I can crate your dog for safety, If it is needed I have a garden and children that would love to play with your dogs if your dogs are at my home or you are happy for my children to play with your dogs then my toddler is more than happy to if my other two are at school. I have plenty of fans in my house for this hot weather and they are on all the time. If your dog is at my home, there is freshwater everywhere in my home. I have no rules in my house for dogs, being toilet trained is preferred but if your dog is old incontinent or still a puppy, it is absolutely fine. I have hardwood floors and dogs have accidents happen. It’s easily cleaned up. Your dog will be more than at home here they’ll be allowed up on the sofas in our garden.

“It was obvious Miguel had an amazing time with Becky from the way he has been so chill coming home but also the way he was leaning against her and wanting a fuss when we were leaving!

“Pedro was amazing with my Weimaraner puppy, Saffie. Saffie is quite a whirlwind and requires a lot of physical and mental stimulation. It was very clear that Pedro met all of her needs and she came home very happy. I contacted Pedro extremely last minute to see if he could have Saffie for the first time the following day. He responded swiftly and was really very helpful throughout. I really appreciated receiving video updates and it was clear how caring, knowledgeable and attentive Pedro is with all dogs. I would absolutely have no hesitation in booking Pedro again and he even offered me some really useful training advice. Thank you Pedro for all your help.”
“Simon was great with Molly. His place has great space for dogs and she was very happy there. Has returned suitably tired, always the sign of a good day. He definitely loves dogs. Molly will be back. Would recommend. It was lovely to get photos through the day of what she was up to. Thanks Simon!”

About: I’ve had dogs in my home my entire life and have always been actively involved in their daily care. Growing up with dogs taught me not just how to love them, but how to understand their needs, routines, and personalities. Whether your dog is high-energy and playful or prefers quiet cuddles, I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I treat every dog like part of the family. I work full-time, but my hours are slightly flexible and depending on location I am able to leave at lunch for a drop-in, my weekends are also very flexible. When caring for pets, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. I understand that pets feel safest when their schedule stays familiar, so I carefully follow feeding times and any specific care guidelines provided.

I have had plenty of work experience through my degree in veterinary practices allowing me to handle medications as needed and keep an eye on any more senior animals as well, with which I aim to give owners some peace of mind as I completely understand how daunting it can feel when a pet has health issues and to trust someone else to monitor these. I currently work an online job for my university student union, which is part time. This means I have plenty of time to check in on furry friends and keep ontop of their daily schedules! Other than that I would ideally be going to the gym however if one of your furry friends needs 24/7 care it goes without saying that it would always be the priority! I will be able to take your dog out and about to local dog parks or for quieter walks through the lovely Norfolk countryside! With a car and full clean driving licence I would be more than happy to take your pets to safe local areas or walk them from your home. Which ever you would prefer and they would be more comfortable with!

About: Lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities. I've looked after many happy Rover guests with my husband and am now welcoming them through my own profile. Your dog will enjoy a loving home, plenty of attention, and over 2 acres of fully fenced, secure garden to explore and play safely. I work from home, so your dog will rarely be left alone and will always have company throughout the day. I have a large, comfortable home with air conditioning for hot summer days, plus over 2 acres of fully fenced, secure garden where dogs can safely run, play, explore, or simply relax. I tailor the day to each dog's energy level and routine, making sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. Your dog's safety, comfort, and routine are our top priorities. I have a friendly 9-year-old Labrador who loves the company of other dogs and gets on well with canine visitors. I follow your dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any medication if required. I'm also happy to accommodate their preferred sleeping arrangements—whether that's in our bedroom, their own bed, another room, or a crate—so they feel as relaxed and at home as possible.
“I stumbled upon Andrea's services and I can't believe how lucky I got! She treated my dog like her own and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for. She sent updates frequently, provided special food, long walks, and lots of affection. ❤️ I was able to completely relax and enjoy a holiday because of how wonderful and ease she made me feel. Can't recommend enough!”
“Blue had his first ever night away and we couldn’t be more pleased with how it went. Lillia was absolutely amazing — caring, attentive, and so reassuring throughout. We felt 100% at ease knowing Blue was in such good hands. Truly grateful for her!”
“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! ✨”
“Chestnut was with Pedro for 11 days. Pedro is great with dogs, he is very caring, attentive and sends regular updates and videos which is so helpful when you’re not with your dog baby.
