“Rocky seemed to be happy on arrival and collecting from Heidi, we got regular updates with photos and texts while away and an update when we collected him on how he had been especially as this was the first time we had left him for 3 nights. We will be using Heidi services again soon and I’m sure Rocky will be excited to see her again xx”
“Usually family looks after our pup when we are away but needed a sitter for our wedding as all family were present. Felt comfortable leaving Buddy with Lisa especially having met her prior to Buddy’s stay to discuss all his needs and routines. Lisa is friendly and her home was welcoming, will definitely use again if needed.”
“Alison and her family were absolutely amazing with my doggo Daisy! She is nervous around new people and they made the extra effort to meet her and understand her before her stay! Throughout the whole trip I received so many photos of her amazing walks and care! I really could not recommend Alison more and will definitely be booking Daisy in for a staycation again :)”
“Absolutely amazing! We struggle to leave Murphy with anyone due to his (and ours) anxious. However they kept in constant contact whilst we were away and Murphy instantly felt relaxed with them! We will be going with Ann and Jacques for the foreseeable now! Can’t thank them enough!”

“This was an emergency booking. Charlotte suggested bringing Molly the day before for a sniff around and to meet us. Molly is an anxious dog and Charlotte gave her the time and space to explore. From the moment I took Molly into Charlotte’s home I felt reassured. She created a little area for Molly with her cushion, blanket and toys. There was also water available. Molly was happy to stay with her which was a relief. I got lots of updates and she clearly had a lovely time. Charlotte was so sensitive to Molly’s needs and didn’t put any pressure on her to do things she didn’t want to do. Over the two days Molly really grew in confidence. Molly has also had pancreatitis and Charlotte both understood and was prepared to give her painkillers if needed. I cannot thank Charlotte enough for the great care she showed Molly and would highly recommend her.”
“Thanks to Laura again! Bear had a wonderful holiday with Laura while I could go away for work relaxed in the knowledge that his every need was taken care of. Laura very kindly keeps me updated with Bears adventures while he is with her, which are always nice to see that he is totally taken care of! Thanks again Laura”

Even with such short notice Pinar is always there to help! thank you so much for taking such great care of our Albert! Albert says thank you for all the kisses and cuddles too!!”
“I would 100% recommend Gemma and her family. Gemma responded really quickly to my request, invited us over, listened and understood our tricky spaniel and his anxieties. They were not phased at all and Chester loved their dog straight away and they were off in the garden running around. They took him on adventures to the park and also for a lovely beach day, and sent lots of photos. I honestly could not have felt happier leaving him anywhere. Such a lovely friendly family and their children loved Chester and made a fuss of him too.”

“So pleased with Jasmine and how she looked after Athena! It was her first time staying with Jasmine and it was clear that she was a very happy girl when we picked her up and was looking after! Jasmine was very sweet and professional and provided us with updates about what they were up to! Will definitely use Jasmine again for longer stays when we are next away. Thank you! 😊”
“Sylvia was cognisant of the fact that Archie was away from home for the first time and handled him appropriately. I was pleased with the feedback that I got plus the photos. She asked about anything that she was unsure of, to do with his behaviour and how we fed him etc I will use Sylvia again knowing that I can feel at ease while on holiday.”
About: I have been lucky enough to have grown up with dogs and have always had a four legged companion. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up around dogs has taught me how to understand their individual needs and make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I provide a calm, caring, and reliable environment where every dog is treated like part of the family. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a quiet place to relax, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I'm comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic medications if needed, and sticking to your dog's usual routine to help them feel at home. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages throughout their stay, giving you peace of mind while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine,as I have fury friends of my own. As a part-time shift worker, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. On my days off, I'm home for most of the day, and even on workdays I carefully plan my schedule to ensure dogs receive regular walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of affection. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to stick to their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. There are lovely walks around the area I live and I enjoy planning new adventures for my fury friends. I follow each pet's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions provided by their owner. I have a large, fully fenced garden where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under my supervision. Inside, they'll have plenty of space to relax and will be treated like part of the family, with lots of attention, affection, and companionship.
“This was the 2nd time Honey has been on her own little holiday at Diane’s lovely home and couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter. Highly recommended always can relax knowing she’s being loved and cared for with updated pics and messages even a birthday message for my daughter from honey was so lovely and thoughtful. Thank you again will definitely be back for more dog sitting in the future.”
“Cara was wonderful with Barry. It was clear from the start that she’s a real dog lover, and she did everything she could to keep him settled, safe, and feeling loved. Her communication was great throughout, and it was obvious he was well exercised and nicely socialised during his stay. I’d most definitely send Barry to Cara again for another week of holiday. Highly recommend.”

About: We’re lifelong dog lovers and take a considered, personal approach so each dog receives plenty of individual attention. My husband and I both work from home full time, meaning dogs in our care are rarely left alone and enjoy consistent company throughout the day. During the week, our home is particularly calm as our two children (aged 6 and 8) are at school. We share our home with our own 3-year-old dog, who is relaxed, friendly, and well socialised with other dogs. Our children have grown up around dogs and are gentle and respectful, understanding when a dog needs space. We are best suited to dogs who are comfortable in a family environment and around children. Our home is spacious, with several quiet areas where dogs can rest if they prefer their own space, as well as the option to stay close to us in our home office. We also have a secure, fully fenced garden for safe outdoor time. Sleeping arrangements are flexible and tailored to your dog’s usual routine. We follow a calm, consistent daily routine, including at least one walk a day, and we’re happy to maintain your dog’s normal feeding, medication, and care. Ahead of booking, we ask owners to share any special requirements so we can provide thoughtful, personalised care. We’re always happy to arrange a meet and greet to make sure it’s the right fit for everyone. We both work from home full time with our own rescue dog who we take for daily walks, so always looking for more furry company! As already mentioned, you can rest assured your dog is in safe hands - our garden is fully fenced. We can also go for on-lead walks for your peace of mind.
About: I have had dogs all my life and enjoyed different breeds and characters. We have a large family home with a large safe and enclosed garden. Our entire family Michael my husband and the kids are dog lovers, and will make sure to create a warm and welcoming environment for any dogs who stay. We also have fields and parks within walking distance to exercise your dog. I am currently a stay at home mum so typically free between 9 and 3 to walk and play and care for your dogs. We are available 7 days a week for overnight stays. I have a safe home with a large ground floor and large enclosed garden. We have one friendly and very chilled golden retriever. Dogs will be allowed throughout the downstairs and will be regularly let out into the garden.

“Booked last minute with Ania and was so easy. Dropping Charlie off and she was slightly nervous but Ania was great with her. Sending me photos and updates to let me know how she was and how settled.

“Ruth was brilliant! We had an event in Norwich and couldn’t take the dog. Our 12 yr old Cockerpoo hadn’t been left with anyone outside of family for years but she was happy with Ruth for the day. Doing a meet and greet a few weeks ago helped a lot and Ruth’s calm way with dogs. Would highly recommend 😀”
“Jude was amazing, she made us feel so comfortable leaving Cooper with her, she knew actually how to make Cooper feel welcome and give him space to relax.

I will definitely use Jude again when we're back in the area. Thank you so much from us and Cooper xxx”

Highly recommended!”

I’ve a sensible head, good common sense and your best friend will get the best care with me.

I will care for your pets on drop in visits as if they were my own. They will have time to play and have cuddles whilst feeding to your schedule and making sure there is fresh water. I do not have a licence to board dogs so not offering this service. Equally I cannot offer sitter services in your home due to having 3 dogs of my own.
“This is the first time we have left our dog with anyone and being a puppy we wanted him to have a good experience. We did a meet and greet first so able to meet Chelsea and see where our dog was to stay. We found there was a nice garden to play in, fields to walk the dog at the rear of the house. Chelsea was great with our dog giving him time and space to explore and get comfortable with his surroundings. On drop off and collection everything was calm and he seemed quite happy with his new experience. we will defiantly use the service again and fully confident that we are leaving our dog in good hands. Thank you Peter and Anne”
“Saoirse was absolutely wonderful, from initial contact, to meeting with Woody on the day of looking after him, all the way through to collection. I felt very comfortable leaving him as he was made to feel so welcome at Saoirses' home. When picking him up, he seemed very happy and well exercised (fell asleep in the car on the way home). Fab communication and updates on his stay. We will absolutely be using Saoirse again.”
About: I have owned pets since a young child, including horses, dogs and cats. I love animals and have experience cat-sitting for customers. I understand the responsibility of looking after animals, including their different needs and adjusting to their different personalities. I currently work 7:30am-15:30. These hours are flexible and can be altered around your schedule. I can therefore see to pets before work and after work. I am also free on weekends and am happy to work around the needs of your pets. I offer care for pets in the owners home, therefore the pets have all their own comforts. I will work around the needs of your pets at the time of the stay, for example, I'm happy to ensure pets are kept out of certain rooms if the rooms typically get hot during the day. I can be completely flexible around you and your pet as I am on a career break! Just let me know your routine and we can get to it. We have a lovely big fenced garden for your pet to run around and explore. I also love in the country side so there are lots of places to walk and explore!

I have also fostered a dog while looking for its new home and taken care of my neighbours and friend’s dogs while they are away. I am currently working part time but I am looking to make this my full time job so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets. I studied Animal Care at college, completing both Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications, which gave me a solid understanding of animal welfare, behaviour, health, and handling. I also spent four years working at Redwings Horse Sanctuary, where I cared for horses and donkeys, where I learned the importance of providing consistent, compassionate care tailored to each animal's individual needs. This experience strengthened my confidence in handling animals, recognising signs of illness or stress, and maintaining high welfare standards. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up and into adulthood, I've cared for dogs, cats, rats, chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs, so I'm comfortable looking after pets with all kinds of personalities, needs, and routines. While I don't currently have pets of my own, I regularly spend time with my best friend's adorable sausage dogs, Dolly and Flossy, and her ragdoll cat, Nancy. I help care for them whenever needed, whether that's feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company while my bestie is away. One of the reasons I've joined Rover is because there's definitely a pet-shaped hole in my life! I genuinely love being around animals and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I'll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and affection that I would my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I work full-time Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 4:30pm, which means I can provide care before and after work during the week. I'm available for morning visits before work for feeding, toilet breaks, walks, and companionship, and then have plenty of time in the evenings for longer walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and any other care your pet needs. My weekends are generally much more flexible, allowing me to dedicate even more time to pet care and ensuring your pets receive plenty of attention and company. I'm organised, reliable, and committed to sticking to your pet's usual routine as closely as possible, helping them feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I understand that trusting someone with both your beloved pet and your home is a big decision, and I take that responsibility very seriously. My priority is always to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away by following their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if required), and plenty of affection. When caring for pets in an owner's home, I will always treat your property with the same respect and care that I would my own. I'm reliable, tidy, and considerate, and I'll make sure your home is kept secure and left exactly as I found it. I believe good communication is important, so I'm happy to provide regular updates, photos, and messages for extra peace of mind while you're away. With my Animal Care qualifications, four years of experience at Redwings Horse Sanctuary, and a lifetime spent caring for animals, you can be confident that your pet will be in caring, capable hands. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel relaxed, happy, and reassured throughout the entire experience.
About: Having had a 12 month break from sitting to care for my own 21 year old dog, I am now ready to start sitting again. I have always had pets in my life since childhood.

“I am very overprotective with my 2 pups and was very anxious to let someone else see to them. Trafford however was amazing! He took my girls out on 3 walks today, he let me know when he finished each walk and double checked with me about things that he didn’t want to assume was okay! Very polite and updated me on my girls throughout the day. Highly recommend and will be using again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, and cats, since the young age of 6. I am trustworthy, gentle and reliable and will love your pet like they’re my own. I have taken care of family and friends dogs as well as my own and love more than anything to make every fluffy friend feel loved and safe. I currently work weekdays at a local cattery, with a large 4 hour break in between from 12-4 which I would love to fill with dog walks and drop-ins! I am free most weekends for house stays for the more nervous pups who feel safest in their own environments. However I cannot have other dogs at my own home at this time as I have a dog and two cats of my own who are not so open with sharing their space. I am happy to answer as many questions as needed in order for you to feel comfortable with me looking after your furry friend in your own home, as well as ensuring the routes for dog walks that I take will be safe. If you would prefer to have your dog on a lead whilst on walks that is completely fine and if your dog is not comfortable with walking on country roads I will avoid them in the routes I choose to take!
About: I have always had dogs and cats throughout my life, I have 1 dog and 2 cats. I am caring and attentive to each animals needs. I also understand no pet is the same, they all have their own personalities and needs. I am home full time studying a degree through Open University, so your 4 legged friends will be easily accommodated for along with my own. I have a car and a clean license, so travelling to look after your animals in their own home is possible during school hours while my son is at school. I have a fenced secure garden for dogs to run around in, and plenty of space for them to roam around the house. I live in a rural location with lots of lovely locations for dog walks, with opportunities for your pets to socialise with other dogs in my community too. I can provide care for animals in their own home or take them for walks during school hours.
About: Hello! My name is Ana. I’m a 28-year-old medical sciences and psychology graduate student living in Norwich, currently working within NHS in mental health services. Previously, I have worked with children and vulnerable individuals in educational and social care settings. I am truly passionate about our pawsome friends, and have had the opportunity of meeting and caring for a lot of special and unique pets in my life. Although I could not have a family pet, due to a sibling’s allergic condition, I took whatever opportunity I got to have some time with other family members or friends’ pets. I have been surrounded and completely in love with dogs since I was a kid, and always take every chance I get to give a pet or cuddle to any pups I encounter. I really like spending time with animals, children and in the nature, as it has always been something that brings me joy and peace, also contributing to my own wellbeing. I would be more than happy to spend some time with any pets in need of extra care or attention, and truly appreciate the trust that it involves for their families. I am also flexible with schedules and locations, so whatever I can help with, just please reach out. Either this is for a quick “toilet break” and sniff snaff around the neighbourhood, a home visit while you are out, a longer stay if you need some extra time away, or a full running around quality time for some outside exercising. I am always welcoming of both repeat and new bookings, so do get in touch whenever you might need! _________________________________________________ Regarding availability, I usually work odd long shifts, and have some free days during the week, so I am quite flexible with schedules and can usually adjust to your needs. Sometimes, my partner can also help out during bookings if owners consent to it, as he is able to cover for times when I might be working, so we have both worked together in the past to make sure that we are able to do the best for the pets we look after. I am not so great with getting back to owners very quickly, as I do usually have a lot going on at the same time, but if you message me, please know that I will get back to you as soon as possible! _________________________________________________ I will always ask the owners what they would like the care to be like, or what they would like it to include, so that you and your pet(s) are happy with the service. Usually, I will adjust to whatever you say and try to meet both yours and the pets expectations. This might include specific feeding times, walking frequency, medication timetables, trigger avoidance, prolongued playtime, relaxed companionship, or attentive care around a particular sensibility. _________________________________________________

“Andrea is great with our dog, Tarly. He is very happy to stay with her and Estelle. We received photos and a video and knew he was having lovely walks in the snow. Andrea also was very accommodating and patient when we had car issues which delayed us. We highly recommend Andrea.”
“Mat and his family were so accommodating, especially as we contacted last minute. Our doggie was well looked after and she seems to have really enjoyed herself. Would definitely recommend”
“Louise took Winnie for me very last minute due to personal bereavement and she was so lovely and very responsive. They live in a beautiful farmhouse with so much land with a fully protective garden. I got sent plenty of photos and Winnie was very loved and looked after by the family. I highly recommend Louise to look after your furry loved ones and thank you again!”
“Rocky seemed to be happy on arrival and collecting from Heidi, we got regular updates with photos and texts while away and an update when we collected him on how he had been especially as this was the first time we had left him for 3 nights. We will be using Heidi services again soon and I’m sure Rocky will be excited to see her again xx”
“Usually family looks after our pup when we are away but needed a sitter for our wedding as all family were present. Felt comfortable leaving Buddy with Lisa especially having met her prior to Buddy’s stay to discuss all his needs and routines. Lisa is friendly and her home was welcoming, will definitely use again if needed.”
“Alison and her family were absolutely amazing with my doggo Daisy! She is nervous around new people and they made the extra effort to meet her and understand her before her stay! Throughout the whole trip I received so many photos of her amazing walks and care! I really could not recommend Alison more and will definitely be booking Daisy in for a staycation again :)”
“Highly recommend! my dog had the most amazing weekend and won’t be going anywhere else in future only to Bonnie she updated me with constant photos day and night, I’m very pleased I had a very happy dog x”
“Rocky spent the night for the first time Lillia gave me a regular update in the evening also in the morning, he seemed very relaxed when picking up, would use again and would recommend as Lillia very friendly.”
“This was an emergency booking. Charlotte suggested bringing Molly the day before for a sniff around and to meet us. Molly is an anxious dog and Charlotte gave her the time and space to explore. From the moment I took Molly into Charlotte’s home I felt reassured. She created a little area for Molly with her cushion, blanket and toys. There was also water available. Molly was happy to stay with her which was a relief. I got lots of updates and she clearly had a lovely time. Charlotte was so sensitive to Molly’s needs and didn’t put any pressure on her to do things she didn’t want to do. Over the two days Molly really grew in confidence. Molly has also had pancreatitis and Charlotte both understood and was prepared to give her painkillers if needed. I cannot thank Charlotte enough for the great care she showed Molly and would highly recommend her.”
“Thanks to Laura again! Bear had a wonderful holiday with Laura while I could go away for work relaxed in the knowledge that his every need was taken care of. Laura very kindly keeps me updated with Bears adventures while he is with her, which are always nice to see that he is totally taken care of! Thanks again Laura”

“Sylvia was cognisant of the fact that Archie was away from home for the first time and handled him appropriately. I was pleased with the feedback that I got plus the photos. She asked about anything that she was unsure of, to do with his behaviour and how we fed him etc I will use Sylvia again knowing that I can feel at ease while on holiday.”
About: I have been lucky enough to have grown up with dogs and have always had a four legged companion. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up around dogs has taught me how to understand their individual needs and make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I provide a calm, caring, and reliable environment where every dog is treated like part of the family. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a quiet place to relax, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I'm comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic medications if needed, and sticking to your dog's usual routine to help them feel at home. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages throughout their stay, giving you peace of mind while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine,as I have fury friends of my own. As a part-time shift worker, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. On my days off, I'm home for most of the day, and even on workdays I carefully plan my schedule to ensure dogs receive regular walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of affection. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to stick to their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. There are lovely walks around the area I live and I enjoy planning new adventures for my fury friends. I follow each pet's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions provided by their owner. I have a large, fully fenced garden where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under my supervision. Inside, they'll have plenty of space to relax and will be treated like part of the family, with lots of attention, affection, and companionship.
“Left our crazy spaniel with Kirsty for the first time the other day. Very happy! We were excited to be her first rover booking and we can safely say we Would definitely recommend!

Again, would definitely reccomend and will be back again at some point, reign looks forward to it, thanks again Kirsty”
“Sophie and family have been great with our dog Lana. Communication was great and we were sent updates which was reassuring. Sophie has been reliable, straightforward and helpful. We feel lucky to have found her!”
About: I have been providing trusted pet care for family, friends, and neighbours since my teenage years. Growing up with three Staffies, I developed a deep understanding of dog behaviour early on. I have also loved and raised two dogs of my own: an Old Time Bulldog and, more recently, Trixie, our sweet Romanian rescue. I am highly comfortable with different breeds, histories, and rescue backgrounds. Our household is also home to two friendly indoor cats. one curious and one shy! We are also well-versed in feline personalities and boundaries. I would love to open up our home to care for your pets with the exact same love, attention, and dedication we give our own. My partner and I both work full time with a hybrid office and work from home schedule. Our routines are perfectly balanced so that at least one of us is almost always at home during the day. We can provide dedicated attention, frequent toilet breaks and walks, and companionship during the week and throughout the weekend. In our home, your pet becomes a true part of the family. We have a large, secure, fenced garden that is perfect for zoomies, sniffing, and safe playtime. Because one of us is almost always working from home, your dog will enjoy a natural, stress free routine filled with companionship, regular toilet breaks, and plenty of sofa cuddles. We absolutely love going for walks and will tailor the outdoor time to your dog's specific energy levels, whether that means an active trek or a gentle sniff walk. Since we have two indoor cats, we keep guest dogs in our main living areas and can use secure separation when needed to ensure everyone feels entirely safe and relaxed. When caring for your pets in your own home, my absolute priority is maintaining their normal, comforting routine. I will follow your exact instructions for feeding, medication, and sleep setups. For dogs, I love taking them out for their favourite local walks and ensuring they get plenty of outdoor exercise and stimulation. For cats and smaller pets, I dedicate focused time to interactive play or quiet companionship, depending on their personality. I am extremely respectful of your space, keeping your home perfectly clean, secure, and tidy. I will also send regular photo updates so you have total peace of mind 😊
“As always, would always highly recommend, they look after Ada, who isn’t the most easiest of dogs, but she has complete trust in Charlotte and Rich. Will continue to use even when we have moved to Hampshire!”
“Took our Nala on very short notice , met up before the booking to make sure both our dogs got on together , they did and Lulu was a lovely girl, whilst we was away for the weekend i was kept updated on the day and what they had planned sent lots of pictures and dog walks . Would highly reccomend Alberto for looking after your dog . Thank you, we will definitely use again if ever we needed dog boarding.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Elliott and Fran. They were incredibly friendly, reliable, and took such great care of our dog, Maisie. It was clear that Maisie was happy, comfortable, and well looked after while we were away. We really appreciated the updates and the genuine care they showed. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and will definitely be booking again!”
