“Sonny & Luna our sproker spaniels had a lovely 1 night stay with William and his wife. From arrival Sonny & Luna were able to go searching and sniffing freely in the large garden and house. Sonny quickly found the toy box and played one of his favourite games of emptying it one toy at a time and hiding them around the garden. They were taken on walks and we had videos and photos sent to us regularly over the 24 hours. Thank you William, I would definately recommend and confidently use you again to care for my spaniels”
“Issy had a wonderful time with Shaun and his family.he was excellent with our energetic Staffie and we were really confident leaving her with him. They supported our routines as well as including her in their family life. He sent regular updates and the meet and greet beforehand was really beneficial and made us feel really comfortable that she would be well cared for. A very experienced family who looked after our Issy really well.10/10 would recommend.”
“So lucky to have found Laura. Wonderful communication from start to finish, photos and videos and updates sent throughout the stay Bear was obviously very well taken care of. Would not hesitate to recommend Laura”
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…in absolute no circumstances will my children be climbing pulling or disrespecting your dogs as they have been taught from a young age and are always supervised to make sure I maintain good behavior around dogs… I’m not saying I’m perfect I’m just saying I know what I’m doing and your dog/dogs will be made to feel at home, loved and as happy as my own 🥰🥰 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.
“We couldn’t have been happier with Louise looking after Juno. From the very beginning, we felt completely at ease leaving Juno with her, and it was clear that she was being really well looked after and getting lots of attention and affection. Louise kept us updated throughout, which we really appreciated, and sent us lovely photos of Juno every day. It was so reassuring to see her looking happy and relaxed, and it meant we could enjoy our time away without worrying about her. What we appreciated most was how genuinely caring Louise was with Juno. It never felt like she was simply “looking after a dog” — we felt that Juno was in the hands of someone who really cared about her and made sure she was happy and comfortable. We would absolutely trust Louise with Juno again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable and genuinely caring to look after their dog. Thank you so much, Louise!”
“Emma and her partner did a fantastic job with a two night stay for our 5 year old Spanish Water Dog. He seemed to settle in quickly and we appreciated the pictures and videos of him. By the time we picked him up he seemed very relaxed and comfortable with them. We wont hesitate to book with Emma again in the future and will be confident that Inigo will be happy and well looked after.”
“Our dog Peggy had an absolute ball at Sarah's. Lovely people with a gorgeous home and loads of space for the dogs to run around. It was so nice to go away knowing your dog was being so well looked after. Five-star on every level - highly recommend. Thanks Sarah!”
“I felt very happy leaving Toby with Mat and his family . They’re clearly experienced dog lovers and I had no worries. I got lots of updates and lovey photos of Toby while I was away and he was clearly very happy and loving life. I would definitely love them to have Toby again next time I go away.”
“A fantastic temporary home for Baloo my dachsund, Alison and her lovely family took fantastic care of Baloo with regular walks and a lot of love, I will definitely use Alison again I am sure.Also got some lovely pictures of Baloos day which was nice to see.

“Lloyd was so communicative and Rory had a great time with him and Hudson! Lots of walks to open fields and she came home happy and tuckered out! So so happy with Rory’s care during her time with Lloyd.”
“Our boy Labradoodle, Aslan, felt immediately at home in Carolyn's house. Sometimes he takes a while to warm up to the sitters that we leave him with but that was not the case at all. She was very accommodating to our hectic pickup and drop off schedule. Though we always miss him when we're on holiday, we never felt too far away from our boy with the plethora of pictures and videos that were sent to us throughout the day.”
“This is the third time we have used Simon. We left Rumble for a longer holiday this time. We received regular photo updates and Rumble was clearly very happy and relaxed. Both drop off and pick up were very well organised and professional. Rumble is now settled back home with no signs that he’s been away, Simon gave him a real home from home. Brilliant x”
“Annie welcomed Cora from 1st minute until collected the next day. Lots of updates and lovely photos throughout the day made me feel calm that she was in safe hands and meticulously cared for. Everything went seamlessly, and would not hesitate to book again. Thank you Annie”

“Inga is highly recommended by us!! Herself and her family treated our dog as their own and gave her so much love and attention. We received regular updates and pictures which showed us how much our dog was enjoying herself. We would definitely use Inga as a sitter again:)”
“Just a short stay this time, but our boys are always well cared for and clearly enjoy their time with Gareth, Marius and Oscar. Thanks again, see you in a couple of months.”
“Sarah was amazing with my two dogs. She looked after them at quite short notice. They both came back so happy. I loved her updates whilst they were with her. It was so clear that they were relaxed with her. A wonderful first experience using Rover! Thank you Sarah.”
“Eva was absolutely amazing with Luna! From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. She kept us updated throughout the stay with photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Luna can be a little particular about her routine, but Eva followed all of our instructions perfectly and treated her like she was part of her own family. When I picked Luna up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that she received plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles during her stay. Finding someone you trust with your dog is priceless, and Eva exceeded every expectation. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. Luna can’t wait for her next stay with Eva! Thank you again, Eva, for taking such wonderful care of my girl!”

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. I have previous experience in animal care and pet retail, including advising owners on nutrition, enrichment, and general wellbeing. I also have particular experience with birds and small animals, as I own and care for them myself and understand how important routine, trust, and gentle handling are for more sensitive pets. Whether your pet is energetic, nervous, elderly, or just needs extra reassurance, I adapt my care to help them feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. For dog walks, I typically follow safe local walking routes and keep dogs on lead unless instructed otherwise. 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. At uni Mondays & Tuesdays. giving me ample time to look after your furry friends. I always make sure i have a update schedule and enough time to ensure proper pet care.

We would not hesitate to ask for Zoe again, or recommend her!”

“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’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’ve also personally cared for more unusual pets, including a gecko, jumping spider and stick insects, giving me experience with animals of many different species and care requirements. Alongside my personal experience, I’ve cared for dogs through walking, pet sitting, and grooming. I’ve volunteered caring for dogs in a shelter abroad, and worked in a mobile zoo with a wide range of animals. These experiences have helped me become confident around different breeds, species and temperaments, and I always adapt my approach to each animal’s individual needs and body language. I hold Level 2 qualifications in Animal Nursing, Animal Management and Dog Grooming, as well as a Level 3 qualification in Dog Grooming. Luna & Sage Pet Care is now my full-time focus, allowing me to provide reliable, personalised care for pets and other animals. I’m also happy to discuss caring for additional pets in your home alongside your Rover booking, so please feel free to message me about your individual needs Luna & Sage Pet Care is my full time focus, allowing me to dedicate my time to providing reliable and personalised care for every pet. I offer a range of services and love getting to know each animal and their individual needs. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, with lots of love and attention. I’m mindful of routines, dietary requirements, preferences and behaviour, and I take the time to build trust with each animal so they feel comfortable and safe. I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals, from energetic dogs and nervous pets to cats, small animals such as gerbils and hamsters, reptiles, and larger animals including horses and donkeys. I understand that every animal has their own unique personality, so I adapt my approach based on their individual needs. I also love photography, so you’ll receive plenty of updates and photos while your pet is in my care, giving you peace of mind and a little window into what they’ve been getting up to.

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…in absolute no circumstances will my children be climbing pulling or disrespecting your dogs as they have been taught from a young age and are always supervised to make sure I maintain good behavior around dogs… I’m not saying I’m perfect I’m just saying I know what I’m doing and your dog/dogs will be made to feel at home, loved and as happy as my own 🥰🥰 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.
“We couldn’t have been happier with Louise looking after Juno. From the very beginning, we felt completely at ease leaving Juno with her, and it was clear that she was being really well looked after and getting lots of attention and affection. Louise kept us updated throughout, which we really appreciated, and sent us lovely photos of Juno every day. It was so reassuring to see her looking happy and relaxed, and it meant we could enjoy our time away without worrying about her. What we appreciated most was how genuinely caring Louise was with Juno. It never felt like she was simply “looking after a dog” — we felt that Juno was in the hands of someone who really cared about her and made sure she was happy and comfortable. We would absolutely trust Louise with Juno again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable and genuinely caring to look after their dog. Thank you so much, Louise!”
“Emma and her partner did a fantastic job with a two night stay for our 5 year old Spanish Water Dog. He seemed to settle in quickly and we appreciated the pictures and videos of him.

We wont hesitate to book with Emma again in the future and will be confident that Inigo will be happy and well looked after.”

About: I am an avid animal lover. I love to be outside in nature and will regularly take your dog to the beach/forest/long walks (with your permission) . I will send you photo/video updates to ensure you know your dog is being looked after correctly. I am currently lucky enough to not have to work so I have plenty of free time to make time/play with your best friend! I’m extremely flexible. I do around 10-16 thousand steps a day. You will be asked for your email address once booking is confirmed to fill out if you are a new client. This is to ensure your dog gets the correct care and is looked after to the best of my ability. If your dog wants to come on a mini holiday they can stay over for lots of attention and lots of extra strokes and treats are a given. I'm happy to send photos/feedback from other clients.
“Nicholas was very attentive to Millies needs. Millie can be anxious around new people, but Nicholas was very understanding and experienced when interacting and caring for her. I would highly recommend his services to anyone who want a 5 star service for their pets.”
“This was our first time using Cayman and we will definitely be using her again! She was very easy to communicate with to schedule a meet and greet and was absolutely amazing with our pups for the week she had them. Thanks again for such a great experience!”
