“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”
“Charlotte was so amazing with my dog, Betty. Really took care to understand her and make sure she was happy and safe. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Charlotte again. Thank you so much Charlotte! X”
“Mat, Cathy and the girls are just wonderful, this is now our 4th time booking him in here. Luther has the best time ever and I know he’s being cared for, settled and happy. When we dropped him off he jumped straight on Cathy’s lap - it was lovely to see.”
“Rose did a fantastic job keeping our 5 months old terrier for a week. She kept us updated frequently with pictures of their walks. Rose is very experienced with all types of dogs. When we picked up Keira, we noticed she was extremely well behaved, as if she had been with a trainer for a week!”
“Sejal was brilliant when looking after Monty on his first boarding experience on Rover. She regularly sent photos of him having the best time on some lovely walks and enjoying her and her family's company. He returned a very happy boy and I wouldn't hesitate to re comment Sejal to others! Thank you so much!”
“Heidi was so brilliant with my dog Betty! So warm and welcoming, kept up great communication and Betty obviously had a great time. She was a very happy pup when I picked her up. Will definitely use Heidi again!”
“Faride and her family gave our dog Maya the best care possible whilst we were on holiday for 11 days. We received multiple updates a day which showed us just how comfortable and happy she was. We will use them again without hesitation!”
“Rarely do I find two people who genuinely care for the dogs they look after like Jaques and Anne. My dog was really at home with them and we will definitely be back. They really made an effort to understood her personality which made it easy for her to settle in. Regular updates were also much appreciated.”
“Marley was really happy staying with Jasmine and we will definitely want her to be able to look after her again when we need. We met Jasmine before Marleys stay and instantly thought she would be perfect and we were right. Jasmine is really lovely. Thank You.”
“Such a kind and thoughtful woman. Our dog is allergic to Christmas trees, and Andrea was so accommodating, that she moved her tree away from any areas our dog had access too. We got the feeling that nothing was too much trouble for her, and we're very grateful that she could take in our dog at such short notice. We would definitely recommend Andrea and her beautiful dog.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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”
“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”
“We left our little puppy with Hannah for a couple of nights to go to a family wedding. Hannah was amazing to say the least, we received updates throughout and Hannah did amazingly putting up with Betty’s diva behaviour and accommodating to her needs when she was unsettled slightly. Betty was cared for in so many ways including play, training and walks including Hannah understanding her puppy napping needs. Hannah is a very relaxed and kind pet sitter who never made us feel like we needed to rush and reassured us throughout! We also got to meet gorgeous Marley who is so sweet! We will absolutely use Hannah’s services again 🥰🥰”
“Paulo and Francisco were amazing with Bella, making her feel so comfortable and welcome. Sometimes she won't eat when staying away from home but the fact she ate and ate well, even having her treats was a sign of how relaxed and safe she felt. Cant thank them enough. Best wishes, Stephan”
“Gabi was excellent with our dog Max! We got regular updates and pictures which put us at ease while visiting the other end of the country. Gabi reassured us that she’d looked after bigger dogs before and all went really well. Max got to play in the nearby river on hotter days and some needed off lead time in the nearby park to tire him out! Would definitely look to use Gabi again to look after Max the next time we go away 🤩🐶”
“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!”

“Hermione went above and beyond to ensure our cats were happy and healthy whilst we were away. She kept us updated the whole time with pictures and message updates, which was great as it was our first time leaving them with anyone but family. Would absolutely not hesitate to book again!!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of pets, ranging from reptiles to small mammals and companion animals. I have cared for tortoises, goldfish, bearded dragons, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, cats, and dogs of all ages and temperaments. My experience includes supporting a senior dog recovering from a stroke, ensuring their comfort, safety, and rehabilitation while maintaining their daily routine and health needs. I have also successfully bred and raised dogs, overseeing a mother through three litters of puppies and providing comprehensive care for all puppies until they were eight weeks old. This included monitoring their health, socialization, nutrition, and early training, ensuring each puppy developed strong foundations for lifelong well-being. My approach to pet care is attentive, compassionate, and tailored to each individual animal’s needs, whether it’s maintaining specialized enclosures for reptiles, ensuring proper nutrition and enrichment for small mammals, or providing exercise, stimulation, and medical support for dogs and cats.
“Brilliant pet sitter, went above and beyond to look after my cat and the house, flexible to changing plans and just a lovely person. Would definitely recommend and will be rebooking for future trips away. :)”
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.
“Imogen looked after my cats for the first time recently, and I could not recommend her more highly. I have seven cats, all with very different personalities and needs. Some are extremely high-maintenance, some are incredibly friendly, others are very shy, and three of them have epilepsy and require close monitoring. It can definitely be a bit overwhelming for someone who isn’t used to a busy multi-cat household, but Imogen handled everything amazingly. From the moment she came for a meet-and-greet, it was obvious how naturally good she is with animals. Two of my cats immediately gravitated towards her, which I think says everything, as cats are usually very good judges of character! All of the cats absolutely loved her, and I felt completely reassured knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. She was calm, attentive, and clearly very experienced and comfortable around cats with different temperaments and medical needs. I’m so grateful for the care she gave my babies, and I’ll definitely be using her services again in the future. I’m very happy with the service Imogen provided and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter.”

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.

About: Hey, I’m Daisy! 🌼 I’m that person who is always stopping to say hello to dogs, let’s be honest.. they’re better than humans! I have grown up around dogs from a young age & sadly lost my Dalmatian of 11 years in June 2024. I miss the company of a dog so decided to care for others through Rovers! I only take 1 dog at a time, or two from the same household so your dog(s) will have my undivided attention. I live in South Norfolk, surrounded by fields so your dog will get all the exercise they need & for those dogs that like the car.. a trip to the beach or local dog café is on offer. For those senior dogs who like to chill out… slow walks & cuddles on the sofa are provided 🫶 I do work full time which can sometimes vary in shifts but the majority of work is Monday-Friday. My availability will be around my shifts when I am off only. Any house sits in your own home during the week are for evenings only. ❗️Please note I do have bookings outside of the app, whilst I do my best to update my availability please check dates with me first. Also ask about dates that don’t show availability as I may be able to help still (select a random date to message me) ❗️ ⭐️ Fully insured ⭐️Secure garden with a 6ft fence. ⭐️ Stair gate in place prior to the front door to prevent any escape artists showing off their skills. ⭐️Large crate if required. ⭐️ Surrounded by fields for miles of fun walkies! ⭐️ No other pets. ⭐️ No children. ⭐️ Happy to raw feed. ⭐️ Dogs allowed on sofa for lots of cuddles!

“Darcie had the most lovely day and has come back from Charlotte’s ready for a good nap! Also a lovely touch was her “report card” for the day.. written by Darcie telling us about her adventures!”
“Kazoo had a good time with Sylvia. She was punctual, responded to messages quickly, and sent us updates throughout her stay. We also forgot her water bottle but Sylvia brought it round the next day.”
“Maximus seemed to have a lovely time at Leanna's, he didn't want much of a walk and Leanna took that in board and when I came to pick him up he didn't want to leave although partly because it was raining! I have already booked another day care session with 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.
“Pinar took such good care of our miniature dachshund bramble. She gave us lots of updates throughout, photos and videos. We felt like Pintar and her family looked after Bramble as if she was their own dog. Would definitely recommend her to anyone”
“Hannah was the most accommodating and helpful host we’ve ever had. She gave us regular updates on Maggie and how she was getting on, as well as replying to any questions we had. We will definitely ask Hannah to look after Maggie again, if we are in her neck of the woods.”
“Louise and family were great with Max! Great communication, nice to see some pictures of Max enjoying himself - even though we’d just booked a shorter day care visit - and you could tell Max enjoyed his time hanging out and spending time with Louise’s lovely pooch Luna too. Will definitely look to book again when we need Max looking after 🐶👏🏼”
“Jess was absolutely amazing with Bailey! From the moment he arrived, she made him feel so welcome and comfortable. He also got on brilliantly with her two lovely dogs, which was really nice to see and meant he had some great company while he was there. 🐶❤️ Jess kept me updated and I felt completely reassured knowing Bailey was happy, settled and being so well looked after. He clearly had a lovely time and came home happy and content. I’m so grateful to Jess for taking such good care of him, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, trustworthy and experienced. We’ll definitely be booking with Jess again! 🐾💕”
“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 😀”
“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 :)”
“Amazing! Great giving me lots of information and asking questions prior to our first visit. So friendly and welcoming when dropping him off and then updates and photos in the day - just the reassurance I didn’t know I wanted! At pick up he was so happy playing barely noticed me! Will certainly be recommending and re-using Amy! 🖤”
About: I have always loved dogs and cared for them, I have grown up with dogs from foxhounds to staffs. I now have lots spare time as both the children are now at full time school and would love to fill my time caring for other people dogs 🐶 I have had lots of different dogs stay on our home from small puppies to cane corso! We recently cared for a Norwich city footballer dog for 18 nights so we can cater for short or long term stays. we have a very lovely and caring home and any dog would be welcomed as if it was our own. Both my children love dogs and are very gentle with them and love to give dogs plenty of attention. I currently work part time and the children are at school so have a lot of spare time and would love to fill that with caring for other peoples dogs I have a small fenced garden and have space in my dining room for a dog crate I also have stair gates at the top and bottom of my stairs
About: I absolutely adore animals since I know myself and working with dogs has been one of the best things I could do for myself and also other people. I have been surrounded by animals since I was a child and I find life empty without them. Being self employed allowed me to meet lots of great pets and that gave me a lot of joy. I have recently opened my own business called “waggysniffsnorwich” on instagram where you can keep up with updates and check out my best pooches 🐾 I currently work from home and I can definitely fit a walk or visit around my schedule. I can also work remotely from any location. I can only have small dogs in my house and because I don’t have a garden they have to be trained or pretty well behaved.
“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: Hi there! Thank you for considering me to take care of your beloved pet. Having grown up on a farm, I've been caring for furry friends all of my life and absolutely adore doing so. I have approximately 20 years of experience cat-sitting and 12 years with dog-sitting for friends and family. This includes kittens and puppies so I'm extremely confident caring for both. If you choose me as your sitter, I can guarantee I'll give them 100% of my love and attention, and keep them safe and happy whilst you're away. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pets, but please rest assured that I make it my highest priority to care for, protect and love your furry friend with all of my heart. I'm currently not working so I'm very flexible and have all the time in the world to care for your furry friend. I am happy to board, house-sit and walk your pet. I know how important it is to trust that your home is being looked after too. So, whilst staying with your pet, I will ensure that your home is kept clean and tidy, and promise to leave it the way that I found it. I swear to take extra care of your home and your critter as if they were my own. I'm very used to "puppy-proofing" rooms from years of practice! As for boarding, my flat has a balcony and is on the 4th floor so isn't ideal for pets that are used to outdoor space at home or puppies who haven't been potty-trained yet. It would be perfect for indoor cats! I have ventilators on my windows so can keep them shut for your pet's safety and am currently adding a chicken wire barrier to the balcony to avoid accidents. I also have an electric fan for hot weather. I don't mind having pets on furniture or in my bed if that's what they are used to. Who doesn't love a midnight cuddle with their critter?😸 I am happy to take your pet outside for walks and toilet breaks as often as they need (the stairs are great exercise!)

About: My Experience 🐾 I have experience caring for dogs in a home environment, including looking after dogs while their owners are at work, taking dogs on walks and staying overnight at people’s homes while they are away on holiday. Although I haven’t worked professionally as a pet sitter before, I have been trusted by friends, family and people I know to look after their dogs, and I have been paid for some of these stays and visits. I really enjoy spending time with dogs and have experience making sure they are happy, comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand that every dog is different, so I’m happy to follow their usual routine, including walks, feeding, playtime, company and any other care they need. I also know how important it is for owners to feel reassured when they’re away, so I’m always happy to keep you updated with photos and messages. I’m now looking forward to offering this service more regularly through Rover and building relationships with new dogs and their owners. 🐶❤️ Hi, I’m Zoe! I’m a friendly, caring and reliable person who has always loved being around animals. I’m naturally patient and affectionate, and I really enjoy getting to know each dog’s individual personality — whether they’re energetic and playful, or prefer a quieter day filled with cuddles and attention. Although I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to caring for dogs. I’ve looked after dogs for people I know while their owners have been at work or away on holiday, including staying in people’s homes to look after their pets. I’ve also regularly walked dogs and been trusted to make sure they’re happy, safe and well cared for while their owners are busy. These experiences have given me a good understanding of how important it is to follow a dog’s usual routine and make them feel comfortable and settled. I currently work from home full-time, which makes pet care a great fit for my lifestyle. Your dog will have plenty of company throughout the day, with time for toilet breaks, walks, playtime, cuddles and lots of attention around my working hours. I’m also available outside of work and at weekends, depending on the service and booking. I can offer dog walking, drop-in visits, doggy day care and boarding, and I’m happy to work around your dog’s individual routine and needs. I’ll always make sure I understand their feeding, walking, sleeping and general routine before looking after them. I know leaving your pet with someone else requires a lot of trust, so I’ll treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. I’ll keep you updated while they’re with me and will always prioritise their safety, happiness and comfort. I’m really looking forward to meeting some new four-legged friends and hopefully becoming someone you and your dog can rely on! 🐶❤️ Your dog’s safety and happiness will always be my priority. I want every dog in my care to feel comfortable, relaxed and at home, with plenty of love, attention and reassurance. I’ll take the time to get to know your dog, their personality, routine and individual needs, and I’ll always follow any instructions you leave for me. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll keep you updated and make sure you know how they’re getting on while they’re in my care. As I work from home, your dog will have lots of company throughout the day, as well as plenty of opportunities for walks, playtime and cuddles. I’ll always treat your dog as I would want someone to treat my own — with patience, kindness and lots of care. ❤️🐶
About: I have taken care of many dogs since I was about 7, when we got our first rescue dog (King Charles Cavalier x Cocker Spaniel). I have always loved dogs and wanted to be involved in taking care of our pets. Later on we got two more rescues (Border Collies) and I had to learn how to make them feel safe and happy. Over the years I have spent lots of time taking care of them and taking them on walks. 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. My current job is also very flexible so I am able to work around it easily. Everyone has their own rules for their pets and I would like to help you stick to those rules or training for your dog so whatever your pet needs let me know and I’m happy to help.
About: I've lived with and taken care of a variety of dog breeds since my childhood. I am able to wash, walk and feed your pets so they are safe and well-cared for! I have just graduated from my law degree and am currently on summer holidays! I also have a part time job at the local pub, so have plenty of time to be occupied! I have a fenced garden and a dog and cat to keep your pet company. I also have a large crate to give your dog a place to go when tired, nervous or distressed if needed.
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: I have always had a passion for animals, which has led me to gain extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds and personalities. I currently have 6 dogs of my own, with a variety of breeds and ages. I have raised each of them from puppies, giving me first-hand experience of caring for dogs throughout all stages of their lives. This includes puppy care, socialisation, training, adolescence, adult dogs and older dogs. Having multiple dogs with different personalities has also taught me how important it is to understand each individual dog and adapt their care to suit their specific needs. I run my own dog walking and training business Sophie’s Canines & Co, so caring for animals is my career and something I am genuinely passionate about. Through my business, I work with a wide range of dogs on a daily basis and provide dog walking, training walks, 1:1 training sessions, pet sitting and drop-in visits. I regularly work on areas including recall, loose-lead walking, obedience, impulse control, socialisation and gundog training. I also have experience working with dogs with different behaviours, confidence levels and training needs, allowing me to adapt my approach to suit each individual dog. I have plenty of experience providing care in dogs’ own homes, allowing them to remain in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. Alongside my practical experience, I have a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management, which I achieved with a Distinction. My studies gave me a strong understanding of animal biology, behaviour, welfare, health, nutrition, handling and husbandry. I am also DBS checked, fully insured, Level 3 First Aid at Work trained and a higher distinction in Level 4 Canine First Aid. I understand that every pet is different, and I pride myself on providing patient, reliable and individualised care. Whether your dog needs long walks and enrichment, a consistent routine, extra support or simply lots of company and cuddles, I will always put their welfare and happiness first. ❤️🐶 Pet sitting is a big part of my everyday life as it is part of my full-time job. I own and run my own business, Sophie’s Canines & Co., where I provide dog walking, training and pet care services. Because working with animals is my full-time career, I’m able to fit pet sitting around my regular schedule and dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I’m used to planning my days around the needs of the animals in my care and ensuring they receive the attention, exercise and companionship they need. For house sitting, I’m able to stay in your home and work around your pets’ usual routines, helping them feel comfortable and settled while you’re away. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I always aim to keep their routine as normal and consistent as possible. Before any booking, I always offer a free consultation so I can meet you and your pets, get to know them and understand their individual needs and routine. This also gives you the opportunity to ask any questions and make sure you feel completely comfortable leaving your pets in my care. I take the time to understand everything your pet needs, including their feeding times, exercise routine, medication, behaviour, preferences and any specific instructions you have. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, training, feeding, cuddles and companionship, as well as giving pets space when they need it. I understand that staying in their own home can be much less stressful for pets, as they are surrounded by familiar sights, smells and routines. I’ll also make sure your home is kept clean and treated with respect throughout my stay. Most importantly, I provide regular care, attention and reassurance so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are safe, happy and well cared for. 🐾❤️
About: Hi, I’m Hannah! I have grown up surrounded by pets, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I have my own dog and I know how important it is to find someone you can completely trust with your pet. I also work in the pet travel industry, so I’m lucky enough to spend my days surrounded by everything dog-related! I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of love, attention, playtime and cuddles, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! I work from home full-time, so I have lots of flexibility to give your pet plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits and overnight stays, with activities including walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles and sticking to your pet’s usual routine to help them feel happy and settled. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I’ll care for them as if they were my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and little messages, so you can relax knowing they’re safe, loved and having a great time. Your pet’s safety and happiness will always be my top priority. I have a secure, fully enclosed garden where they can safely play, explore and enjoy fresh air, and because I work from home they’ll rarely be left alone. I’ll always follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, medication and any special instructions, to help them feel as settled as possible. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing they’re in safe hands.
About: Not your average pet sitter! I’m the one who sends picture-perfect updates, bonds with your pets like we’ve known each other forever, and leaves your home just the way you like it (or better). Calm with anxious animals, playful with the wild ones, and always just a message away. Reliable, respectful, and a little obsessed with making tails wag and whiskers twitch. I’m a full-time cat sitter with a totally flexible schedule, so whether it’s last-minute or long-term, I’m here when you need me. I adapt to your cat’s rhythm, from zoomies at midnight to sunbathing at noon. I’m big on trust: keeping your home secure, your space respected, and your cat happy and stress-free. Clean, calm, and reliable, with me, your feline’s in safe hands and familiar surroundings.
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: Hi, I’m Dori and I’ve been caring for friends’ and neighbours’ dogs and cats for over 8 years. I love getting to see every animal’s personality, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive, patient, and dependable, whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or giving lots of snuggles, I treat every furry friend like they’re part of my own family. I’m happy to keep you updated with photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m excited to meet and provide the same reliable, caring service that my friends and family have trusted me with for years! ☺️ I’m a Speech and Language Therapy student at UEA- I’m especially reliable for weekday afternoons, evenings for walks. If you require housesitting it’s worth checking in, but October-July I spend long days at uni. I’m a lot more flexible during uni breaks. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and mental stimulation. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions from their owners!
About: I have been caring for pets for years. My own, as well as those of my family, friends and neighbours. I am an easygoing, easily adaptable and friendly individual who is enjoying working outside no matter the weather. I can also adapt to special requirements your pet may have. I am available every day 9 am to 9 pm. If you require staying with your pet for night I am also open for that. I will accommodate to whatever you and your pet need. Let me know the details about your pet and house and I will make sure for your pet to be happy and well taken care of.
About: I grew up in a dog-loving home with an Irish Red Setter rescue and a Doberman we raised from a puppy, so I'm no stranger to big dogs with big personalities. Over the years, I've cared for pups of all sizes, breeds, and ages - from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and totally spoiled while you're away. A recent move means I am now taking on new clients in and around Norwich. Please see my reviews and reach out for a chat if I can help to care for your pup! I’m working from home, with plenty of gaps in between for toilet breaks and walks in the park - I like to get away from my desk when I can and would love for your dog to join me. I’ve been house sitting for a number of years, both through Rover (please check my reviews) and word of mouth from my existing clients. I will care for your home as if it is my own. I am happy to discuss carrying out tasks unrelated to your pup, too.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a teenager, caring for my own and family and friends pets. I grew up on a farm and have loads of experience with animals. I’m currently working on bank as a HCA at Norfolk and Norwich hospital so can be very flexible and pick and choose shifts that work around my other duties. I have a lot of experience with animals having grown up on a farm and in particular dogs as I grew up with them being around all the time!
About: Hi, I’m Abigail! 🐾 After six years in the emergency services, 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.
“Pinar was so incredibly kind, gentle, and loving with my dog Jasper. Upon our initial meeting, I knew my anxious pup would be safe with her! I loved getting updates and pictures that showed just how much activity and love Jasper got. Pinar’s experience and reliability makes her a superb pet carer. I absolutely recommend Pinar and look forward to to hiring her again!”

“Charlotte was so amazing with my dog, Betty. Really took care to understand her and make sure she was happy and safe. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Charlotte again. Thank you so much Charlotte! X”
“Mat, Cathy and the girls are just wonderful, this is now our 4th time booking him in here. Luther has the best time ever and I know he’s being cared for, settled and happy. When we dropped him off he jumped straight on Cathy’s lap - it was lovely to see.”
“Rose did a fantastic job keeping our 5 months old terrier for a week. She kept us updated frequently with pictures of their walks. Rose is very experienced with all types of dogs. When we picked up Keira, we noticed she was extremely well behaved, as if she had been with a trainer for a week!”
“Sejal was brilliant when looking after Monty on his first boarding experience on Rover. She regularly sent photos of him having the best time on some lovely walks and enjoying her and her family's company. He returned a very happy boy and I wouldn't hesitate to re comment Sejal to others! Thank you so much!”
“Heidi was so brilliant with my dog Betty! So warm and welcoming, kept up great communication and Betty obviously had a great time. She was a very happy pup when I picked her up. Will definitely use Heidi again!”
“Such a kind and thoughtful woman. Our dog is allergic to Christmas trees, and Andrea was so accommodating, that she moved her tree away from any areas our dog had access too. We got the feeling that nothing was too much trouble for her, and we're very grateful that she could take in our dog at such short notice. We would definitely recommend Andrea and her beautiful dog.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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”
“We left our little puppy with Hannah for a couple of nights to go to a family wedding. Hannah was amazing to say the least, we received updates throughout and Hannah did amazingly putting up with Betty’s diva behaviour and accommodating to her needs when she was unsettled slightly. Betty was cared for in so many ways including play, training and walks including Hannah understanding her puppy napping needs. Hannah is a very relaxed and kind pet sitter who never made us feel like we needed to rush and reassured us throughout! We also got to meet gorgeous Marley who is so sweet! We will absolutely use Hannah’s services again 🥰🥰”
“Gabi was excellent with our dog Max! We got regular updates and pictures which put us at ease while visiting the other end of the country. Gabi reassured us that she’d looked after bigger dogs before and all went really well. Max got to play in the nearby river on hotter days and some needed off lead time in the nearby park to tire him out! Would definitely look to use Gabi again to look after Max the next time we go away 🤩🐶”
“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!”
“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”
“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!”
“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 :)”
“Izzy and Dan were fantastic hosts for my dog Lacey. She had a wonderful stay with them, full of lovely outings and adventures. I can tell they really care about the dogs they look after: Lacey was so well looked after the whole time. I especially loved the daily updates with photos and videos, which made it easy to relax knowing she was happy and having fun. I would highly recommend Izzy and Dan to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring dog sitters. Thank you both!”
“As soon as I met Victoria I knew she was responsible, friendly and approachable. I felt my dog was enjoying himself with Victoria’s dog and was sent photos of them playing together. I had complete faith in her being able to look after Bailey and when he returned home he was tired but happy.”
“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.”
“Pablo had the best five-night stay with Jules! So easy to communicate with and sent the most creative updates while we were away. Pablo enjoyed lots of cuddles and pup cups! We’d absolutely recommend Jules and would happily book with them again.”
