“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!”
“If I could leave 10 stars then I would, this was the most loving and caring place you could send your dog If you need too, Ernie was treated better than I could of ever imagined, had daily contact and photos to put our mind at ease and he absolutely adored being there, couldn’t praise her and her husband enough, would definitely take him back xxx”
“Monique and Jarrod were great surrogates for our beloved (but high-maintenance) Frank, after we were let down by family members at the last minute for an overseas holiday. Nothing was too much of an issue and they expertly supported his many needs, ensuring great updates throughout. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Monique and Jarrod to anyone looking for support with their fur babies and will certainly use them again ourselves.”
“Kobe had such a wonderful stay with Mat and his family. Prior to boarding we arranged a pre-stay meeting which was great and really helpful, from that initial meeting I knew Kobe would be very well looked after. Throughout his stay Mat kept us updated with Kobe's progress and sent lots of pictures which was so lovely. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be using Mat again for boarding, so long as the crazy pup is welcome ??. Thank you all so much for looking after our boy.”
“Abigail was attentive, patient and loving to our dog, catering to all his needs. As it was our dog's first time away from home, she was very reassuring and sent lots of updates. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is a natural around dogs.”
“Lisa took wonderful care of my dog Mango. Mango can be anxious when left with new sitters but she took to Lisa very well and settled nicely for her stay. Lisa kept me updated each day with how Mango was doing and how she was spending her days. I would definitely be happy for Mango to stay with Lisa again and I highly recommend her for other dog owners.”
“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.”
“10/10 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Would 100% recommend Jasmine to anyone who needs a dog sitter. She’s kind and caring and gentle with our little sausage dog Otis. She first arranged meet & greets for him to get used to her and so he would feel safe. She then had him for a long stay and kept us up to date with daily photos and took him out for daily walks which I’m sure he really enjoyed. Otis loved his stay and he loved Jasmine. We will definitely be returning as Otis has now made a new friend for life 🐶 ☺️”
“Sidney was looked after sooo well, Nick and Louise really love dogs and we're brilliant at giving us updates and photos of Sid on walks. Sid got on well with Flo, their pug which was great as Sid is a really social dog and this would have been fab for him to have a playmate. Thank you very much, we will definitely send Sid to you again xx”
“Excellent communication, regular updates and photos/videos of mac. He looks like he’s had the best time, thoroughly spoilt. Thank you so much for looking after him, would definitely recommend x”
“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: Hi! I’m excited to offer a warm, caring home for your dog. I’m a huge dog lover and have grown up surrounded by dogs my whole life, so being around them feels completely natural to me. I regularly look after family dogs and puppies when they’re away, so I’m very used to different personalities, routines, and needs. Although I live in a flat, I’m very active and love being outdoors. Walks are a big part of my daily routine, whether that’s exploring local parks, heading out for longer walks, or visiting the beach whenever I can. Your dog will get plenty of fresh air, exercise, and attention. I’m also relaxed and social and do occasionally go to the pub — if you’re happy with it, I love bringing dogs along so they can stay part of the fun rather than being left behind. At home, I have two kittens who are nearly one year old. They’re very gentle and harmless, though a little cautious at first with new dogs. Once they’ve settled, they’re surprisingly sociable and often end up curled up on the sofa even when I have dogs staying. While I’m new to Rover, I take the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously. I will always follow your instructions closely to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and comfortable in my care. I understand how important your pet is to you, and I’ll treat them as if they’re part of my own family We’re happy to care for pets during the week, but as we both work full-time, our weekday routine is structured around mornings and evenings. Your dog will always start the day with a good morning walk, followed by plenty of attention before we head off to work. In the evenings, we prioritise another walk along with lots of fuss, playtime, and relaxation. My partner Jack works from home on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, so on those days we’re able to offer an extra short walk and some company during the day. Ideally, we’re best suited to Friday–Sunday bookings, when we have more flexibility and can dedicate even more time to your pet, including longer walks, outings, and constant company. However, we can be flexible during the week depending on your dog’s needs — we’ll just need to chat through their routine first to make sure we’re the right fit We provide a safe, loving, and relaxed environment where your pet will feel right at home. In our home, we treat every dog as part of the family — they’re welcome to settle in on the sofa, enjoy plenty of attention, and be included in our daily routine. We stick closely to your pet’s usual schedule, including feeding times, walk routines, and any specific instructions you provide. During the week, this includes morning and evening walks, with extra time and flexibility on weekends for longer walks, trips to parks or the beach, and more one-on-one attention. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, when Jack works from home in the afternoons, we can also provide an additional short walk and company during the day. We have two gentle kittens who are used to being around dogs. They may be a little cautious at first, but they quickly settle and often share the space comfortably. If we’re caring for your pet in your home, we will respect your space and follow your routine exactly as instructed to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible for your pet. Our approach is always to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away, with plenty of updates and reassurance for you too.
“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.”
“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.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs, giving me hands-on experience. I’m a caring, attentive sitter who ensures pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently working full time from home, so I am able to be around pets and care for them throughout the day! I live with my girlfriend, Abi, who also is a huge cat and dog lover. I have a supervised fenced garden and multiple parks nearby which are perfect for walking your pets! I typically take pets out for 3 walks per day, morning, lunchtime, and evening and can offer regular comfort breaks.
“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”
“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 :)”
“Thank you for having Winnie and Obi for a trial. They seemed to have a very nice relaxing time. We feel so much better about leaving them for a week. thank you for the photo updates and they seemed to have a lot of fun out in your beautiful garden. X”

“With Meg in charge of Nancy's care I felt able to relax and enjoy my holiday. Meg is super kind while also being practical and knowledgeable about how cats are. I would recommend her to any cat fixated owner.”
“Hermione has looked after our cat a number of times when we've been away. She's fantastic. Keeps us up to date on everything and takes extra care to make sure our cat is well looked after. We've been struck by her genuine passion for caring for people's pets and would definitely recommend her to anyone.”

Over the years, I've looked after or had cats, large dogs, horses, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, and fish. I currently share a three-year-old British Shorthair cat, so I understand how important it is to have a trusted, loving person caring for your pet while you're away.

About: With my Animal Care Level 2 and 3 qualifications, four years of experience at Redwings Horse Sanctuary, and a lifetime spent around animals, I'm confident in providing calm, compassionate, and attentive care. I grew up with cats and have spent many years around them, and I still regularly spend time with my best friends' cats, so I know that every cat has their own unique personality, quirks, and preferences. Some cats love attention and playtime, while others prefer their own space and a quieter approach, and I'm happy to adapt to whatever makes them feel most comfortable. My goal is for your cat to feel happy, safe, and settled while you're away, and for you to return home knowing they have been well cared for in a familiar, stress-free environment.
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. These have included dogs, cats and horses. I am confident with all types of animals, big and small, and do not get flustered coping with multiple animals. I am calm, caring and affectionate and love walking. I am recently retired and am available anytime for short or for longer term pet sitting at your home as required. I am happy to do multiple animals and other pets as well as dogs. I am happy to fit in with your needs for your pet at your home. I have total respect for other people’s homes and will always leave them as I found them. I will always prioritise the care of your pets when staying in your home and will reassure you that all is well. I always offer a meet and greet.
“Chloe was brilliant. She did everything we asked and took great care of our cat whilst we were away making sure he was fed and watered, his litter tray was kept clean and that he received daily medication. She sent regular updates and pictures to make sure we knew how things we were going and meant that we didn't have to worry while we were away. I would definitely use Chloe again.”
“I was so pleased to have Ann visit and feed my cat whilst I was away for a couple of days. Communication was easy and I felt confident that my cat was left in good hands, which indeed she was. Thank you!”
About: [IMPORTANT TO NOTE: I will be unavailable for bookings in Norwich from 25th August 2026, as I am moving back to Cheltenham. I will be available for bookings in Cheltenham from 15th September 2026]. I’ve taken care of cats since I was 16. I love cats of all breeds and natures; I’m more than used to unhooking adventurous kittens from curtain fabrics! I have experience with both kittens and senior cats, and can give oral medication when needed. I live in university accommodation so can only provide care for your cat in your home at the moment. I really miss having cats around, as I’m doing a Master’s degree, and would love to spend some time with your cat!
About: Hello, my name is Belle. I am 28 years old, and have lived in Norwich for over 10 years now. I have recently left teaching after 5 years as a primary school teacher. I love animals and always have, I’ve had cats my whole life, have fostered dozens of cats, and have volunteered in animal shelters and rescue centres since I was a teenager. I have cat-sit for many neighbours and friends over the years. Additionally, I currently have two lovely rescue cats of my own: adorable but completely bonkers.
“Thank you Liv for standing in at very short notice and doing a wonderful job of looking after the cats and chickens...they were all very happy when we came home...will definetly be in touch again - Thanks so much!”
“Jackie was great with our kitten Mish, she sent lots of pics and even offered and went out to get some dry food for us as we’d run out whilst we were away! She also did some hoovering and made the bed up before leaving which was so appreciated and saved us some time when we came back from holiday all tired out.”
“Spent time giving my boys lots of attention which was lovely to see. Good communication throughout. My cats seemed to really like Pinar after just a few visits. Thanks!”
About: I have cared and raised dogs since I was 13, including training many of my family’s dogs. Having looked after dogs since I was very young I understand the commitment, responsibility and dedication it takes to look after their needs and am more than willing to ensure they are met. I currently work 9 till 5 during the week days but I have full availability during weekends for boarding, walking and sitting! However weekdays can be a possibility as long as it falls outside of my work hours. I currently have no pets in my household allowing full attention to your fur baby’s! I have a small back yard which is fully fenced but live a stones throw away from two massive local parks allowing plenty of walk opportunities. I currently own no dog bowls/crates etc so please bring any accessories you think your pup might need!
About: I have had dogs all my life and when I turned 18 i got a dog of my own and then a second one a year later! I’m the sort of person that thinks dogs are better than humans! Both of my dogs are toilet trained and like the company of other dogs! I have dealt with reactive dogs and I know how to handle any situation. I am self employed so I am around most of the time! When at home i try to keep the dogs stimulated with toys and things! I am around most weekends to have dogs overnight and during the week. I live in a bottom floor flat but I have greenery right outside my door which is where i take the dogs to the toilet! Both of my dogs are friendly with other dogs. One still has the energy of a puppy so likes to play a lot!

“We hadn't left our Sprocker Spaniel doggies with anyone until we found Heidi......she was relaxed, they were relaxed and we were relaxed. They had a lovely time and we will be leaving them back with Heidi another time to be cared for, loved and spoiled!!!”
“Duggie loved his stay with Charlotte. After an initial visit, we were very confident that it would work out well. Charlotte is very warm, friendly and knowledgeable about dogs and Duggie was comfortable with her immediately. Everything in Charlotte’s home and garden is set up to be dog friendly and she was very flexible about delivery and pick up times. During his stay, Charlotte sent me regular updates and pictures- he was clearly having a fab time. Duggie came home a very chilled and happy boy and a lovely touch was that Charlotte sent him home with a little diary of his holiday with her. We will definitely send Duggie to Charlotte again in future and would recommend her very highly.”
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.
“Tiernay and Lucy have looked after Maple on a few occasions now and they have been great every time! Easy communication with photo updates throughout the day. Maple had loads of fun playing with Gigi and Winston and she didn't want to leave! Would definitely recommend.”
“Pinar and her family were so great for our Italian Greyhound Peppa. They were loving and caring and sending update pictures and videos. They were also very accommodating as we need to do an earlier drop off. Many thanks!!”
“Lisa was great with our two rescue greyhounds Sonny and Ava, especially patient and kind even with big boy Sonny charging around all over her house! I picked them up very relaxed and happy. 10/10 great dogsitter. Thanks Lisa!”
“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. On picking Charlie up, she had settled in with the family making herself at home. Will absolutely be booking again. Charlie came home relaxed and settled from her busy day.”
“Vince had a fantastic time with James, Marie and their dog Rembrandt. He has come home incredibly happy and having spent the day playing. Thank you again for taking such great care of him :)”
About: I love dogs. They are family and must be treated as such. I have experience with many puppies up to larger dogs weighing in excess of 30kg. I’ve a sensible head, good common sense and your best friend will get the best care with me. I walk different breed of dogs daily, I adapt the walk to their pace, some older paws need to go a bit slower! I have first aid certificate for dogs and happy to give medication if required. Free most weekends, still have availability all day Wednesday, some on Monday and Friday mornings. Cat drop in morning and late afternoon are free every day. Please contact me to confirm. 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.
“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 was nervous leaving him as I always am, but within the first hour, I got some lovely reassuring pictures and messages and I was able to relax and enjoy my doggie free day. I will definitely use Jude again when we're back in the area. Thank you so much from us and Cooper xxx”
“Mabel had a lovely day. She was so happy to go in and didn’t want to leave! Ruth was really prompt with all communication and sent me some photos of Mabel’s stay. Will definitely be back.”
“Thanks so much Rose! Marley had a great day and wonderful walk. I immediately felt comfortable leaving Marley with Rose, who is very caring about what Marley needed. Will definitely book again and would definitely recommend Rose :)”
“Max and his partner were brilliant with our dog Beres. They sent lots of updates and photos and Beres looked like he was having the best time especially with their lovely dog. Would 100% recommend and book again.”
“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”
“Sophie is a brilliant dog sitter. Oakley really took to Sophie and her family and enjoyed his “holiday”. Sophie has great communication sending regular updates with photos. Highly recommended!”
About: Hi, I'm August, a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes! I’ve had dogs since I was 12 and welcomed my own pup into my life two years ago. Since then, I’ve been committed to learning more about training and behavior by taking classes, which has deepened my understanding of dogs' needs. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve had the pleasure of watching other people's dogs in both my home and theirs. I’m reliable, organized, and always punctual, ensuring your dog gets the attention, love, and care they deserve. I’m an active person who loves spending time outdoors, so whether your dog needs a brisk walk, playtime at the park, or just a little extra company, I’m happy to be there for them. Let’s make sure your dog feels right at home, even when you're away! Pet care easily fits into my daily routine as I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility. I’m able to accommodate different schedules for pickup, drop-off, and walks throughout the day. This allows me to spend quality time with your pet, ensuring they get the exercise, attention, and care they need without rushing. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, or sticking to feeding and medication schedules, I can adapt to what works best for you and your dog. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being. In my home, I create a welcoming, secure environment where your dog is treated like family, ensuring they stick to their normal routines for feeding, walks, and playtime. When I care for pets in your home, I maintain consistency by following your instructions closely, whether it's feeding schedules, medications, or exercise. I make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, outdoor fun, and companionship, while keeping your home clean and respected throughout the stay.
“Buddy had a great time with Cressy. He came home happy and content, and tired after a lovely long walk. Cressy was welcoming and helpful, and gave me the impression that nothing is too much trouble. I would definitely use her again for daycare and walking.”

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: I’m an 18-year-old female living on a farm, with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals. I have two dogs of my own, including one who is quite nervous, so I understand the importance of patience, attention, and tailoring walks to suit each dog’s individual needs. I’m also confident handling larger, energetic dogs—my spaniels certainly keep me on my toes! At home, I care for an indoor cat who loves plenty of affection, so I’m equally comfortable providing gentle, attentive care for cats. I’m looking to offer dog walking and pet sitting alongside my studies, combining my passion for animals with staying active, while making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I am currently studying radiology My availability’s are: Monday 3-5pm Tuesday 9-11am Wednesday 9am-5pm Thursday 2-5pm Friday 1-3pm Saturday & Sunday all day If you do have any requests for other times feel free to get in contact and i may be able to be flexible however this is my current time frames I focus on keeping things safe, calm, and consistent for every pet. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible and take note of any specific needs, whether that’s a nervous dog who needs a bit more patience or a high-energy dog that needs proper handling on walks. In an owner’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all instructions around feeding, exercise, and care. I make sure pets are secure at all times—checking leads, gates, and surroundings. At my home on the farm, there’s plenty of space, but pets are always supervised in a safe environment, I am very aware of the ability dogs and cats may have as I’ve seen my puppy jump a big gate . Overall, I just aim to keep pets comfortable and well looked after while and for their owners to feel comfortable and confident their pets will be safe
About: With over five years of experience in looking after all kinds of animals as well as growing up in a house full of animals I am now available to look after furry friends whilst back home from university. Whilst my experience is mainly in the realms of dogs, cats, horses, hamsters and guinea pigs I have also looked after rabbits, birds and even a tortoise! 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: 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. These have included dogs, cats and horses. I am confident with all types of animals, big and small, and do not get flustered coping with multiple animals. I am calm, caring and affectionate and love walking. I am recently retired and am available anytime for short or for longer term pet sitting at your home as required. I am happy to do multiple animals and other pets as well as dogs. I am happy to fit in with your needs for your pet at your home. I have total respect for other people’s homes and will always leave them as I found them. I will always prioritise the care of your pets when staying in your home and will reassure you that all is well. I always offer a meet and greet.
About: [IMPORTANT TO NOTE: I will be unavailable for bookings in Norwich from 25th August 2026, as I am moving back to Cheltenham. I will be available for bookings in Cheltenham from 15th September 2026]. Hi! I’m Zara, a 22-year-old from Cheltenham. I have 10 years of pet experience; I was a dog walker during my undergraduate degree, and I have a dog who lives with my parents (Lily, a 12yo blonde cockapoo). I miss Lily so much and would love a furry friend in the house again. I’m currently completing my Master’s degree in Prose Fiction at UEA, and thought I’d start up my Rover account again for a little extra money towards my studies. I have now completed all my lectures, and the only other responsibility I have will be my dissertation period. Otherwise, I am completely free to look after your friend! I’m free for walks/sitting any time during the day. I don’t currently offer boarding services as I live on-campus; I can walk your dog, or look after them in your home! I live next to multiple absolutely beautiful parks I can take your dog to during the day :)
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: I got my first dog when i was 10 and have never been without a pet since and im now 35 - absolutely love animals. Now, as a mum if 3, i have 3 children who carry my love for animals too. Weve had puppies, dogs, guinea pigs and now a tortoise. We are unable to keep animals full time due to work commitments and school so thought we could give our love to your pet. We are a busy family monday to friday day time however evenings and weekends are free and we love helping people and love animals so thought this joined our 2 loves together. We live in a quiet village surrounded by feilds and local walks. We have big parks for dogs to enjoy. We have a tortoise as a pet but hes as simple as can be.
About: Having always had dogs, I’ve looked after others during travelling and for friends. Treating them like my own, they’d be in safe hands whilst you’re away from home. Having dog sat for a variety of dogs with a variety of needs, rest assured your dog will have lots of fun with me! I’m currently working part-time and trying to build my own business. I like to be an active individual so walking and taking care of other dogs will bring joy to my days when I’m not busy working. I can easily care for your dog in your home with a clear routine (if you have one). I ensure that all doors, outdoor gates are secure to ensure your dogs safety.
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: Experienced, knowledgeable and mature but fit animal lover. I have grown up with dogs and ponies. I have always had pet dogs from puppies so I am experienced with all ages of dogs. I am mature and fit as well as knowledgeable and genuinely caring animal lover. I am not looking to make easy money but am looking to give a reliable, high quality service to clients and a high standard of care to day visiting/boarding pets. I am semi-retired with totally flexible hours and able to work from home. My dogs are walked 3-10 miles daily. Pets are accommodated downstairs only, they do not come to bed with me! I have a separate boot room where I can accommodate sleeping crates if required. I have one dog who sleeps in a crate and one dog who doesn’t. I can work to any reasonable routine/care plan to ensure that your dog’s routine is kept as normal as possible, this avoids unnecessary anxiety for your pet.

About: Hi, I’m Abigail! 🐾 After six years as a police officer, I decided to give up the uniform and follow my passion for dogs, the outdoors, and providing a safe, trustworthy service for pet owners. I provide a calm, secure, and welcoming home where your dog will feel completely at ease. Your dog/s will have constant care, attention, and plenty of affection throughout their stay. I’m home full-time, so your dog’s routine, safety, and happiness are always my priority. I have a large, fully secure garden with 7ft fencing and a locked gate, giving dogs plenty of space to play, explore, and enjoy themselves safely. I share my home with my friendly Irish Setter, Rory, who is gentle, playful, and great with other dogs. He loves company and helps create a relaxed, social environment for visiting dogs. I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages — from young puppies to senior dogs — and I’m confident supporting different needs, routines, and personalities. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter, slower pace, I will adapt to them. I come from a professional background where trust, responsibility, and safety were essential, and I bring that same level of care and attention into looking after every dog. 🐾 What you can expect: * A home-from-home environment * Dogs are never left alone * Secure garden for safe outdoor time * Walks tailored to your dog (on or off lead) * Regular updates, photos, and communication * Flexible and attentive care to suit your dog’s routine I’m very mindful that every dog is different, so I will always follow your instructions closely — from feeding and walking to sleep routines and preferences. I’m happy to care for dogs who may be a little anxious or need extra reassurance — just let me know what helps them feel comfortable. We look forward to welcoming your dog into our home and giving you complete peace of mind ✨ Our calendar is kept up to date daily, and we’re always quick to respond to messages. We’re home seven days a week, so your dog will never be left alone. 🏡 A safe, secure, and relaxed environment My home is spacious and set up to give dogs a calm, safe place to settle in and feel comfortable. The garden is fully secure with 7ft fencing and a locked gate, so dogs can enjoy outdoor time safely. I live on a quiet, secluded street away from main roads, creating a peaceful environment that’s ideal for dogs of all temperaments. The garden is a great size for all breeds, with plenty of room to play, explore, and enjoy a good run around. Large patio doors open directly onto the garden, allowing dogs to move freely between inside and outside when appropriate. They can also be closed to create a calm, cosy space for rest and nap times. Inside, the home is open-plan with plenty of room to relax, along with soft furnishings and lots of toys to keep dogs happy and entertained. For added safety, all human food is kept well out of reach, so you can feel confident your dog is in a secure and carefully managed environment.

“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!”
“If I could leave 10 stars then I would, this was the most loving and caring place you could send your dog If you need too, Ernie was treated better than I could of ever imagined, had daily contact and photos to put our mind at ease and he absolutely adored being there, couldn’t praise her and her husband enough, would definitely take him back xxx”
“Kobe had such a wonderful stay with Mat and his family. Prior to boarding we arranged a pre-stay meeting which was great and really helpful, from that initial meeting I knew Kobe would be very well looked after. Throughout his stay Mat kept us updated with Kobe's progress and sent lots of pictures which was so lovely. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be using Mat again for boarding, so long as the crazy pup is welcome ??. Thank you all so much for looking after our boy.”
“Abigail was attentive, patient and loving to our dog, catering to all his needs. As it was our dog's first time away from home, she was very reassuring and sent lots of updates. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is a natural around dogs.”
“Lisa took wonderful care of my dog Mango. Mango can be anxious when left with new sitters but she took to Lisa very well and settled nicely for her stay. Lisa kept me updated each day with how Mango was doing and how she was spending her days. I would definitely be happy for Mango to stay with Lisa again and I highly recommend her for other dog owners.”
“Excellent communication, regular updates and photos/videos of mac. He looks like he’s had the best time, thoroughly spoilt. Thank you so much for looking after him, would definitely recommend x”
“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: Hi! I’m excited to offer a warm, caring home for your dog. I’m a huge dog lover and have grown up surrounded by dogs my whole life, so being around them feels completely natural to me. I regularly look after family dogs and puppies when they’re away, so I’m very used to different personalities, routines, and needs. Although I live in a flat, I’m very active and love being outdoors. Walks are a big part of my daily routine, whether that’s exploring local parks, heading out for longer walks, or visiting the beach whenever I can. Your dog will get plenty of fresh air, exercise, and attention. I’m also relaxed and social and do occasionally go to the pub — if you’re happy with it, I love bringing dogs along so they can stay part of the fun rather than being left behind. At home, I have two kittens who are nearly one year old. They’re very gentle and harmless, though a little cautious at first with new dogs. Once they’ve settled, they’re surprisingly sociable and often end up curled up on the sofa even when I have dogs staying. While I’m new to Rover, I take the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously. I will always follow your instructions closely to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and comfortable in my care. I understand how important your pet is to you, and I’ll treat them as if they’re part of my own family We’re happy to care for pets during the week, but as we both work full-time, our weekday routine is structured around mornings and evenings. Your dog will always start the day with a good morning walk, followed by plenty of attention before we head off to work. In the evenings, we prioritise another walk along with lots of fuss, playtime, and relaxation. My partner Jack works from home on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, so on those days we’re able to offer an extra short walk and some company during the day. Ideally, we’re best suited to Friday–Sunday bookings, when we have more flexibility and can dedicate even more time to your pet, including longer walks, outings, and constant company. However, we can be flexible during the week depending on your dog’s needs — we’ll just need to chat through their routine first to make sure we’re the right fit We provide a safe, loving, and relaxed environment where your pet will feel right at home. In our home, we treat every dog as part of the family — they’re welcome to settle in on the sofa, enjoy plenty of attention, and be included in our daily routine. We stick closely to your pet’s usual schedule, including feeding times, walk routines, and any specific instructions you provide. During the week, this includes morning and evening walks, with extra time and flexibility on weekends for longer walks, trips to parks or the beach, and more one-on-one attention. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, when Jack works from home in the afternoons, we can also provide an additional short walk and company during the day. We have two gentle kittens who are used to being around dogs. They may be a little cautious at first, but they quickly settle and often share the space comfortably. If we’re caring for your pet in your home, we will respect your space and follow your routine exactly as instructed to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible for your pet. Our approach is always to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away, with plenty of updates and reassurance for you too.
“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.”
“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”
“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 :)”
“Bella settled in quickly with Charlotte and Deezy and had a wonderful time! Charlotte kept me up to date and sent photos of the two dogs playing together. I will definitely book Charlotte again!”
“. Being so far away and for 3 weeks, we knew we didn’t have to worry about him as Sylvia is a kind and caring dog person. She sent us photos of him on his walks and updates of his activity with her. Sylvia followed the instructions about his diet I think from her comments that they really bonded over the spell that he was there. I would definitely leave him with her again and I plan to do so.”
“Henry settled in immediately with Pinar and her family in their welcoming family home. Pinar sent me regular photos and videos throughout his stay and I had every confidence that he was safe and happy. I booked her again for our next trip straight away when we got back!”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and the care I put into making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. While I may not have years of experience, I make up for it with reliability, patience, and a strong attention to detail. I take the time to understand each dog’s unique needs, and I’m fully committed to giving them the same level of care I would give my own pet. You can count on me to follow instructions closely, stay in touch, and treat your dog like part of the family. I currently work for Royal Mail as a postman so I finish work at 1pm latest. I also work in the area where I live so can frequently come back for short periods of time to see the dog and let them out and give them anything they need In my home, I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your dog can feel safe and relaxed. I make sure they have plenty of space to play, rest, and feel at home. I have a fenced garden for them to play freely in. I stick closely to their usual routine, including feeding times, walks, and any special instructions you provide. Whether it’s giving them one-on-one attention, playtime, or just a cozy spot to nap, I treat every dog with patience, love, and care—just like they’re my own.
“We had to leave our dog in London while going on a summer vacation abroad and Rose helped us again. We had regular updates and pictires/videos of our dog while we were away for two weeks and felt that she's in safe hands being looked after. Happy to recommend Rose to anyone!”
“Sophie was a terrific host. She took care of our little dog and made sure he was happy and cared for. She sent photos on his multiple walks and was flexible in when we could pick up and drop off. Can recommend!”
“Athena had a lovely time and I always comes back happy. She can't wait to come back soon. Also the booking and communication is always so easy and we get lots of updates. 😊”
“Cressida provided a real home from home. My whippet is nearly 10 years old and had never been left with a carer before. She was perfectly happy, well looked after and cared for. Full marks to Cressida”
