“Thank you Paul - Rosie was comfortable and felt at home immediately. Paul kept me updated regularly which I really appreciated. Great guy and really cared about Rosie - will definitely be booking again”
“Our first booking with Rover and such a great experience. Rosy and Rich are lovely! My dog had the best time and we felt at ease. All the pics and videos we got were perfect and he was so so happy! 🥰 thank guys for looking after our boy and a really easy, reliable experience. Would deffo recommend.”
“Caroline provided care for our dog during our recent holiday for a week. Our dog is a good boy but he has a tendency to bark and struggles with some other dogs. Caroline went above and beyond with making us feel comfortable about leaving him with her for the week and provided plenty of videos and photos of him during our time away. We are now totally confident in using her services and will do so next time we want to go away.”
“Alix was great from start to finish. Great communication with plenty of photos for reassurance. Chewy loved her stay and came home really happy and well exercised.”
“Harry my Labrador, had a wonderful time with a lovely family. He had another Labrador for company and lots of love and cuddles from Catherine and her family. It was just what I wanted for Harry. He had walks every day and I received updates and pictures of him throughout the holiday. I was stressed and worried about going on holiday and leaving Harry but once I met Catherine and her family I knew he would be well looked after. Thank you!”
“Erin and Andrea did an excellent job of looking after our little pug Peanut whilst we were on holiday. Andrea sent regular updates with photos and videos throughout the week and Peanut had a great time on walks, playing games and hanging out with Püs their pug. Erin and Andrea were also helpful and flexible about pick up and drop off times despite us having to change these last minute due to delays with our flights and trains. Thank you both for everything - we would whole heartedly recommend them :)”
“Leo is so happy and settled with Lisa, she genuinely loves him and looks after him so well. I feel very reassured and confident when Leo is able to stay with Lisa. He gets lots of love and attention and plenty of walks too in the countryside, which he loves.”
“Our Springer had a wonderful weekend with Chloe. He came home very relaxed and happy. She really looked after him with great walks, good company and he enjoyed being with her and her family. They treated him like one of the family. Chloe is very honest, her house is lovely, clean and tidy and she has a garden. Highly recommend.”
“Winter's second stay with Inga and her family. You could tell she was well cared for in the regular pictures and updates we received. We will definitely use Inga again in the future :)”
“Janet and Bruce are just extraordinary. Their love of dogs is reflected clearly in the care and attention they gave my boy. I was nervous to leave my dog as he’d only been away from me once before, but I have no hesitation in saying I would ask them to watch Jack again in a heartbeat. They are calm and experienced, and sent photos and videos during his stay, as well as making sure he was happy as can be with lots of exercise, play, and cuddles. It was obvious how much Jack loved his time there when it was time to collect him, too. I highly recommend them if you want a couple who will care for your dog(s) as if they were their own. I couldn’t be happier and wish I could give them extra stars! Thank you both so much.”
“It was Woody’s first time staying with Hannah but she made him feel at ease straight away. He had a great time. Hannah made sure to keep us updated of how he was and sent some pics. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Hannah again and would highly recommend”
“We left our two puppies (age 3 months and 9 months) with Heather while we went away and was kept updated daily with pictures and messages which made us feel so relaxed. The dogs were taken care of brilliantly and Heather is lovely. We’d always use her again in the future and have recommended her to our friends”
“We couldn’t recommend Miriam and Theo (& Milo) highly enough! They recently looked after our frenchie Pablo who didn’t have much socialisation before we adopted him. They were both great at easing our concerns and provided a fun and comfortable home for him during the stay”
“Jess was great, very responsive and really attentive to quite the nervous dog. She went out of her way to make sure our dog was well cared for and gave us regular updates. Would definitely use her again and can't thank her and her partner enough for the care provided.”
“I can’t say enough about how lovely Karen was with our dog Milo. This was our first time of leaving Milo, and we were anxious about how it would go. We needn’t have worried! Karen’s warmth and love of dogs was apparent from our first meeting. Her home and garden was entirely dog friendly and Milo had the best of care. Karen kindly kept us updated throughout our week away with daily photos and messages. I would not have any hesitation in asking her to look after Milo again and would thoroughly recommend her to anyone looking for dog boarding. With our thanks, Sue and Steve (and Milo)!”
“Simon put us at ease straight away and Jeffrey was at home from home. Jeffrey appeared to settle in well and Simon sent regular photos. We were very happy with the care Jeffrey received whilst staying with Simon and we would definitely book him again in the future. Thank you Simon and family”
“Sarah and Joe were the most amazing pup sitters for our sweet Izzy. From the moment I met them I knew Izzy would be in brilliant hands - she was so comfortable in their home from the start. We had loads of updates and I knew that Izzy was feeling very at home. I would not hesitate to recommend Sarah and Joe to look after your precious pup. Thank you!”
“Kezia looked after our Weimeraner, Salto, and we can't recommend her enough. This was Salto's first time away and as he struggles the separation anxiety, we weren't sure how he would cope. Well we had no need to worry, Salto settled incredibly quickly and had a fantastic time, he has come home super happy and relaxed, which is better than any review I can give. Kezia kept us updated the whole weekend with plenty of photos, which we really appreciated and nothing was too much to ask. I've already started looking at more weekends away and won't hesitate to use Kezia again. Thank you! ✨”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I have grown up with dogs and now own the most wonderful cavapoo, Callie, who is just over 1 year old. I have been looking after dogs in and around Cambridge for the last year and a half on other platforms and would love to meet new doggos and humans through Rover. We got Callie as a puppy and so are well aware of the needs of young puppies and I am more than happy to do dog training whilst your companion is in my care. My last dog lived to the grand age of 16 and so I am also sensitive to older dogs and making them comfortable. My work is flexible and so I can look after dogs as and when required with very few exceptions from weekly work commitments. Weekends and evenings are always free. I own my home which has a good sized garden with 6-foot fence. I live opposite a play park and so are not close to any busy road. With my own dog I am relaxed with where she goes - on sofas, beds, etc. She does sleep in a crate but we have also had dogs sleep on the bed with me as well.

“This was the first time leaving Cato with someone and he was very well looked after and fussed over by Elizabeth. Elizabeth was good at sending updates and pictures which were much appreciated. Thank you! ”
“This has been my first time using rover, and I was honestly so pleasantly surprised by how easy Gaby made it for me, she effortlessly took care for my 2 cats when I was away, and sent me pictures daily so I could see my girls were ok! She’s been attentive, punctual and so easy to speak to throughout this, meaning I wasn’t worried at all when I was away on holiday. I’d 1000% recommend Gaby, amazing woman truly. Thankyou again 🩷”
“Wiktoria has been very attentive to our cats and to us. She sent daily photos and updates on their well-being. I will definitely use her services again if she is available. I am very pleased with her service.”
“Friendly & confidence inspiring cat-sitter. Emily was kind enough to come & meet the cats and get keys/instructions beforehand. She sent us a photo (which we always like to have), and we came home to the cats being calm & relaxed.”
“Liam has been great with my cats. Although meeting them wasn't easy as they're both really shy, he took care of them and he sent me feedback everyday putting my mind at ease. I have since booked Liam twice again, hopefully at some point my kitties will learn not to be shy with him.”
About: I have always had cats in my family until several years ago when we lost out last cat, I unfortunately do not have time to commit to having a cat full time but love being involved with them and having a cats in my life again would be lovely.
About: I grew up surrounded by animals including guinea pigs, budgies, dogs and even a hamster! One year ago I adopted my rescue dog from Romania, Lillah. When we first adopted her she was incredibly nervous on walks. Overtime, through kindness, patience and dedication, I slowly built her confidence with walks and socialisation- now she can't wait to get her lead on! Training ✅ Enhanced DBS ✅ Dog First Aid for: choking and bleeds I currently work part time teaching drama classes to children once a week (Fridays). I have a very flexible schedule weekdays and weekends. I am especially free during school holiday periods. For pets in my home I ensure my home is neat, tidy and any objects or toxic hazards are stored away and out of reach. At pet owners homes i will discuss with the owner what health and safety precautions they have in place.
About: I’ve been around cats my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally. Growing up with cats has given me experience with a wide range of personalities, from confident and affectionate lap cats to nervous and senior cats with more complex needs. I understand that every cat is different and can adapt to different temperaments. Alongside my life long experience with cats, my policing background has shaped me into a dependable, observant and trustworthy person. As a cat sitter, this means you can rely on me to follow your instructions carefully and fully, to respect your home, notice any changes in your cats behaviour and keep you informed with clear updates. Trusting someone with your pet and home is a huge decision, and I take that responsibility seriously.
About: When I was 14, one of the two kittens that was brought back home was very sickly and not accepting solid food. By syringe feeding her, I brought Toulouse back to full strength, and she is still going strong till this day.
“Thank you Annie for stopping in at short notice to give Kai a run around and lots of fun playing! The updates you sent were great and we’d happily recommend you or have you look after Kai again!”
About: Hey there! I’m Pedro—a lifelong dog lover who lives on the road with my amazing companion, Koda. Together, we explore forests, beaches, and countryside trails, and I love sharing that energy and freedom with the dogs I look after. Whether your pup needs a weekend of forest adventures or just someone calm and reliable while you’re away, I’ve got it covered. I’m experienced with large and small breeds, gentle with nervous dogs, and always patient and attentive. Dogs in my care get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and affection—and you get peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I can relocate and move where the job needs me to be. I'm flexible and I can adapt to the needs of the dog. I love to play and I'm respecful of their needs. I know about good dog nutrition. I take dogs with me in to nature and urban environment. I am observant of body language and their needs.I am reassuring and confident around big or small dogs.
About: I have extensive experience looking after family member's and friend's dogs and cats, and have had pet dogs for most of my life. I also have experience caring for a dog with strict medical requirements. I'm currently studying and work from home mostly so I have plenty of time to care for pets! I can be flexible with days and times so can work around requirements if needed. I have great experience following a variety of different requirements for pet care, and can equally be flexible and work with a pet's current needs and requirements.
About: I’ve taken care of cats since childhood. We had a few stray cats in the neighbourhood, and I used feed them and play with them whenever I had time. I’ve also taken care of friends cats and always enjoyed it.
“Very professional. Sent lots of nice photos and videos and kept me informed throughout the day. Took the weather and time alone for Sandy into consideration. He was super calm and happy when I returned.”
About: Pets have been a part of my family my entire life, I have owned various dog and cat breeds and I understand their quirks and loving characters. They will be treated with the respect they deserve I currently run my own photography business so have total control over my flexibility with work hours which means I can work around most people’s schedules. I look after pets in the comfort of their own home. When out on dog walks they will remain on lead for safety but can go on a long line for ultimate freedom. Off lead walking can be discussed

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely love having them around. I’m a dog mum to a friendly, social Maltipoo, and I regularly look after other dogs with different personalities, ages and energy levels. I treat every dog as I would my own and adapt to what makes them happiest and most comfortable🥰 I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day for company, playtime, walks and regular toilet breaks. I’m also flexible with drop-off and collection times and will always try to work around your plans where I can. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone, so their safety and happiness are always my priority. I live in a dog-friendly apartment complex with a large communal green space directly outside, and Chelmsford Central Park is just moments away. My Maltipoo is very friendly and loves having other dogs around, so visiting pups are welcomed as part of our little family. I’ll also send regular photos, videos and updates so you know how they’re getting on.
About: My name is Kinga and like many people I grew up with dogs and have had dogs throughout my adult life. I love living with dogs, looking after them and simply being around them.I have experience of caring for dogs of various breeds such as Greyhounds, Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Labradoodle, German Shepherds, and Cane Corso, to name a few. As a dog owner I know how important it is to have your pet looked after by someone who is reliable, dependable and trustworthy and who will make your pet feel safe, comfortable and happy. I’m happy to help look after your pet/s whilst you go away or when you are at work. I’m patient with animals and confident with looking after dogs of all sizes and ages. I’m working from home and therefore will be around to look after your pet 24/7 and can be flexible to accommodate your pets needs. I love walks with the dogs and snuggles on the sofa. I have a medium size, secure garden where your pet can chill in the sun or have a playtime. The safety of your dog is paramount when out and about thus I am mindful what areas and walks I chose.

About: I've been taking care of my family's cats since I was about 13 years old. I then rescued a senior cat who had cancer, had him for just over a year until he ultimately passed away from his cancer. I've also been around family dogs since I was little I'm full time employed but work from home most days. Can take dogs on up to 30 minute walks 2 to 3 times a day. Can board cats throughout the week and most weekends I have a fenced in garden. No animals or children in the house. Will not let pets outside without supervision. Litter box, cat bed and tree provided when boarding cats
About: Hi, I'm Zy! (If you said my name right, it should rhyme with 'hi') I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I grew up with multiple dogs, including large and giant breeds, so I’m confident handling everything from energetic pups to calmer, more sensitive dogs. I’ve also regularly cared for dogs for friends and family—from small Maltipoos and Staffies to Spaniels and Retrievers—providing walks, daycare, and overnight stays. I’m comfortable adapting to different routines and personalities. My approach is calm, patient, and attentive. I focus on building trust, reading behaviour, and creating a safe, relaxed environment. Whether your dog needs long walks and playtime or slower strolls and quiet companionship, I’ll tailor their care to suit them (snuggles on the sofa are always welcome!) I don’t currently have any pets, which means your dog/s will have my full attention in a calm, one-on-one setting. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and will always keep you updated for peace of mind. I am currently working part-time which means I have free days to spend playing with your pets, taking them for walks, snuggles and generally having a great time together. I'm typically available midweek onwards for daycare, walks, and boarding, with my calendar being regularly updated. Currently, I am limiting to 1 pet (from one family) at a time (if you have multiple pets from the same family I am open to caring for them at the same time), meaning your pet/s will have my undivided attention. I have a fully fenced farmland garden that can be fully seen from the living space. Open plan kitchen/living room so your fur baby (whether the purr or bark) will have more than enough room to roam around and play. I have access to a play pen too should you feel your pet would prefer this/ be more suitable. I have spare to be able to easily set up a crate if your pet needs this too. For walks while boarding, I'm very closely located to quiet public trails/ footpaths/ fields to allow for calm, regular walks - perfect for shy or slightly unpredictable doggies. For dog walking - I'm physically fit, attend the gym regularly, and have experience in walking my families giant dog (a Caucasian mountain dog - very large, very strong). Duration of walks required is open for discussion to best suit your dog :)
About: Dogs have always been at the heart of my life and caring for them has never simply been something I do - it is who I am. For me, this is not just a service, it is a privilege. I understand that every dog is a cherished member of the family and I treat each one with the same love, patience, kindness and unwavering devotion that I gave to my own. For 13 wonderful years, I was blessed to share my life with my beautiful Cavapoo, Colby. He was my constant companion, my best friend and I will always feel incredibly honoured that he chose me every day. The bond we shared shaped the way I care for animals and reinforced my belief that every dog deserves to feel safe, understood, loved and completely at ease. Following Colby's passing, I found myself deeply missing the daily joy of giving that love and care to a dog. It is this, more than anything, that inspired me to begin this new chapter. My aim is not simply to offer dog boarding, walking and house sitting, but to provide a home-from-home experience where every dog receives genuine affection, individual attention and the highest standard of care, as though they were my own. My experience extends well beyond everyday care. During Colby's later years, he bravely lived with heart failure, requiring an extensive and carefully managed medication regime. I administered multiple medications with precision, consistency and dedication while closely monitoring his health, comfort and changing needs. This experience has given me invaluable confidence in caring for senior dogs, administering medication and supporting dogs with ongoing medical conditions, always with patience, compassion and meticulous attention to detail. When you dog is in my care, they will be treated as my own family - with warmth, gentleness and genuine affection. My promise is to provide not only a safe and reliable service, but a nurturing environment where you dog feels secure, loved and truly at home 🐶❤️ I provide full-time, dedicated care tailored entirely to your dog's individual needs and routine. Whether they enjoy long walks and playtime, gentle companionship, plenty of cuddles and love, or simply a quiet place to relax, my focus is always on ensuring they feel safe, happy and loved. I offer house sitting in your home, boarding, drop in and dog walking throughout the week, including weekends and I am committed to maintaining your dog's usual routine as closely as possible to provide comfort, consistency and complete peace of mind while you are away. Safety, trust and a calm, secure environment are at the very heart of my care. I have no other pets or children in the home, ensuring a peaceful and undisturbed setting for your dog. My property benefits from a walled, secure garden and I am fortunate to be situated in a beautiful village with a country park and woodland walks right on my doorstep, offering safe, enriching and varied outdoor experiences in nature.
About: I'm very good at reading body language of animals in general. I'm around 100kg's, so am comfortable handling (most!) larger breeds. I can be available most the day to give your dogs plenty of attention, as I often work from home. Attributes: Energetic breed experience (Border Collies and Spaniels) - Can handle large breeds - Work experience at Cambridge Reptiles - Trained at Pets at Home (ex part-time job) - Enjoys long walks - Empathetic - Experienced with: Small mammals (Bunny's, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs), Reptiles, Amphibians, Tropical Fish and Ponds. I'm a freelance photographer, so I pet sit around my own schedule, being very free during some periods of the year. I can schedule pet sitting easily around my work. "Ollie did a great job caring for Hobie and Clove. I was very impressed by his understanding of dog behaviour and he kept the house in top condition whilst we were away." Independently Insured for myself and (if ever required) a replacement sitter for: Pet Care Services - Dog Walking (For walking up to six dogs) - Dog and Cat Grooming - ToothBrushing - Dog - Hydrotherapy - Dog Training - Pet Behaviourist - Pet Boarding - Pet Microchipping - Pet Minding - Pet Sitting - Pet Taxi - Pet Transportation "I knew Ollie through friends and he helped me out when I went on holiday.

Since meeting at university, Ollie has been a close friend for 10 years now. He is a great guy, super friendly, trustworthy and responsible. Ollie looked after my cockatiel for 2 months when I worked abroad. I trusted Ollie totally and was not surprised when I returned to find my cockatiel healthier and happier than ever. "For as long as I have know Ollie, he has been animal mad. His wealth of knowledge combined with his professionalism and attention to detail makes him a superb Pet and house sitter." "Oliver has looked after my dogs on several occasions, for periods of up to 2 weeks a time. He is very caring person and l would recommend him to anybody wishing good care for their pets!"
About: I have years of experience looking after pets of friends, my own, and through word of mouth I have house sat for many others. I have looked after and helped train dogs of varying ages including those with challenging behaviour. I have developed a good understanding of canine behaviour in this time and I ensure every dog in my care receives the attention, patience, and love they deserve. I love all animals whether they are furry, feathered, or scaly, and I understand they all come with their own unique personalities and needs. I will ensure your pet feels safe and loved in my care. *I am also DBS cleared and have my Canine First Aid certificate, for extra peace of mind.* I work just three days a week for a couple of hours cleaning, which means your dog will never be left alone for long periods. Outside of that, pet care is my main focus, so I’m able to provide plenty of time, attention, and companionship throughout the day. This allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and ensure your dog feels comfortable, cared for while you’re away. I have a large, fenced in garden, with a forest that lies out back. Perfect for little or large adventures. We have one other dog that has use of the garden but does not share the same living space. I can keep the dogs separate if needed or if your pup likes company I’m sure they will love our little girl.
About: Calm, patient, and reliable. Experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and nervous dogs, providing loving, attentive care while maintaining their routine and building trust for all. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule carefully so every visit gets plenty of time, attention, play, feeding, and lots of affection without being rushed. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my priority. I follow your pet's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if required), and plenty of affection. I keep homes tidy and secure, provide regular updates with photos, and make sure your pet feels relaxed, loved, and well cared for while you're away.
About: I do all services, but NONE at my home. I can come to you! I had a rescue German shepherd dog since I was young. We took her to training and agility classes. I have dog sat and dog walked for people a few times. I have worked in childcare for 3+ years and I still am. I have availability on Mondays. I am available some evenings after work at 5pm and I am available at weekends. I love all dogs and other small animals. I would prefer to dogsit at the owners home (s) if possible. I would make sure that food that is not dog food is out of reach and they wouldn't climb on anything, furniture etc. that they are not supposed to.
About: I have extensive experience looking after family member's and friend's dogs and cats, and have had pet dogs for most of my life. I also have experience caring for a dog with strict medical requirements. I'm currently studying and work from home mostly so I have plenty of time to care for pets! I can be flexible with days and times so can work around requirements if needed. I have great experience following a variety of different requirements for pet care, and can equally be flexible and work with a pet's current needs and requirements.
About: Ever since I was little, I've always loved pets. I've spent many hours and days looking after our friends dogs and cats - including house sitting, walks, daycare and check-ins. I would love a dog of my own in the future once more settled, but in the meantime, I would love the opportunity to care for others dogs and cats. If interested, I'm a semi-professional cyclist (and part-time marketer). I'm currently off training (cycling) for a month or two, and will be coming back into training very slowly, so have a lot more free time. I'm working part-time at home most days, with the odd Wednesday working from the office in London, allowing me to move around the local area looking after your pet(s) or having your pet(s) come to stay. Relatively relaxed and free, but there may be a few days or weekends I won't be able to do. I have a very large downstairs space which is neat, tidy with very little clutter, with a great playing field (and crop fields) behind the houses where lots of dog owners walk their dogs.
About: 20 years of experience raising and caring for animals at home (cocker spaniel, dachshund, border-collie, maine-coone) Deeply empathetic, considerate and gentle, I'm happy to accommodate any special care requests you require. I look forward to hearing from you! Currently working part-time from home (design/printmaker), so I have plenty of moments during my day for connection and care. I have 1 daughter, so will be on school runs 8–8.15AM & 3.30–4PM, which your dogs are welcome to join me for (sometimes I run the route, if your dogs are athletic –aprx 3km). We have 2 resident mini sausage dogs, but prefer to keep them in their own part of the house if other dogs are much larger. I have a large, fenced garden for your friend to explore and run about in! The property is situated close to several lovely walking trails in fields and forests.
About: I grew up with a dog in the family and enjoyed taking care and spending time with dogs ever since. I have experience looking after dogs with different personalities and needs, and I always treat them as my own. I also have a valid DBS certificate for extra peace of mind. I work from home so have some time to spend with pets. I can walk the dogs, play with them and feed them according to the schedule desired I live in a house and have a small garden where dogs can spend their time. Plenty of parks to take them for a walk around too
About: I have very good communication skills with pets. I grew up with my cat and developed a strong understanding of animals. While studying for my Vet Medicine degree, I also worked as a volunteer in animal shelters and gained experience in caring for animals with different needs. I have full time job, start very early and finish early afternoon. Free all the weekends, and evenings. I have a car could drive near places .

About: Hey there! I’m Pedro—a lifelong dog lover who lives on the road with my amazing companion, Koda. Together, we explore forests, beaches, and countryside trails, and I love sharing that energy and freedom with the dogs I look after. Whether your pup needs a weekend of forest adventures or just someone calm and reliable while you’re away, I’ve got it covered. I’m experienced with large and small breeds, gentle with nervous dogs, and always patient and attentive. Dogs in my care get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and affection—and you get peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I can relocate and move where the job needs me to be. I'm flexible and I can adapt to the needs of the dog. I love to play and I'm respecful of their needs. I know about good dog nutrition. I take dogs with me in to nature and urban environment. I am observant of body language and their needs.I am reassuring and confident around big or small dogs.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring dog lover who works from home part time and spends the rest of the week as a stay at home mum, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. My toddler is with me most weekdays (he attends nursery two days a week, increasing to three days from September), so I’m looking after dogs that are friendly and comfortable around young children. He has been brought up around dogs and is always supervised, ensuring everyone stays happy and safe. We have a lovely open plan downstairs where dogs can relax and feel at home, along with a secure, good sized garden for outdoor play and toilet breaks. We’re also lucky to have beautiful local walks nearby, as well as secure dog fields just down the road that I can book, giving dogs a safe space to run, play, and burn off energy. Every dog is different, so I’ll always follow their usual routine and give them the care they need, whether that’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a quiet place to relax. I’ll treat your dog like one of the family and keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in safe and loving hands. I’m a stay at home mum to my toddler and work part time from my beauty room in the garden, so I’m home for most of the day and have plenty of time to give your dog attention and company. I occasionally do freelance work, but this is only on odd dates and isn’t regular, so I can usually be very flexible with bookings. I’m available for plenty of daytime care and can work around your dog’s usual routine as much as possible. I have a secure, fenced off garden and an open plan downstairs space where your dog can feel comfortable and at home. I have a lovely, friendly dog who enjoys having a playmate but is also very happy to relax and snooze in the sunshine. We have some lovely walks close by, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks, playtime and exploring. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and give them lots of love and attention while they’re with me.
About: I grew up on a farm caring for a variety of dogs and cats, which has given me confidence with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I also completed two years of work experience at a vet practice, gaining hands-on knowledge of animal health and safe handling. I’m reliable, caring, and truly passionate about making pets feel safe and happy. I’m currently on my gap year working part time as a lifeguard, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets at any time in the day, seven days a week! Anima safety and comfort are always my top priority. I respect each owner’s home and follow all care instructions closely, keeping routines consistent to help pets feel secure. On walks, I’m attentive and cautious, always using safe handling practices and staying aware of my surroundings. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and happy to provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is in safe hands.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life I like all pets and just love messing/playing with them going on walks I have experience with different types of animals small and big Currently on the hunt for a job so taking care of any dog would help I currently have a hamster at home but that it I follow all instructions from the owner if I’m not sure I will generally ask the owner or look it up I would never want to put a animal in danger

“Our first booking with Rover and such a great experience. Rosy and Rich are lovely! My dog had the best time and we felt at ease. All the pics and videos we got were perfect and he was so so happy! 🥰 thank guys for looking after our boy and a really easy, reliable experience. Would deffo recommend.”
“Caroline provided care for our dog during our recent holiday for a week. Our dog is a good boy but he has a tendency to bark and struggles with some other dogs. Caroline went above and beyond with making us feel comfortable about leaving him with her for the week and provided plenty of videos and photos of him during our time away. We are now totally confident in using her services and will do so next time we want to go away.”
“Harry my Labrador, had a wonderful time with a lovely family. He had another Labrador for company and lots of love and cuddles from Catherine and her family. It was just what I wanted for Harry. He had walks every day and I received updates and pictures of him throughout the holiday. I was stressed and worried about going on holiday and leaving Harry but once I met Catherine and her family I knew he would be well looked after. Thank you!”
“Leo is so happy and settled with Lisa, she genuinely loves him and looks after him so well. I feel very reassured and confident when Leo is able to stay with Lisa. He gets lots of love and attention and plenty of walks too in the countryside, which he loves.”
“Our Springer had a wonderful weekend with Chloe. He came home very relaxed and happy. She really looked after him with great walks, good company and he enjoyed being with her and her family. They treated him like one of the family. Chloe is very honest, her house is lovely, clean and tidy and she has a garden. Highly recommend.”
“Janet and Bruce are just extraordinary. Their love of dogs is reflected clearly in the care and attention they gave my boy. I was nervous to leave my dog as he’d only been away from me once before, but I have no hesitation in saying I would ask them to watch Jack again in a heartbeat. They are calm and experienced, and sent photos and videos during his stay, as well as making sure he was happy as can be with lots of exercise, play, and cuddles. It was obvious how much Jack loved his time there when it was time to collect him, too. I highly recommend them if you want a couple who will care for your dog(s) as if they were their own. I couldn’t be happier and wish I could give them extra stars! Thank you both so much.”
“It was Woody’s first time staying with Hannah but she made him feel at ease straight away. He had a great time. Hannah made sure to keep us updated of how he was and sent some pics. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Hannah again and would highly recommend”
“We left our two puppies (age 3 months and 9 months) with Heather while we went away and was kept updated daily with pictures and messages which made us feel so relaxed. The dogs were taken care of brilliantly and Heather is lovely. We’d always use her again in the future and have recommended her to our friends”
“Simon put us at ease straight away and Jeffrey was at home from home. Jeffrey appeared to settle in well and Simon sent regular photos. We were very happy with the care Jeffrey received whilst staying with Simon and we would definitely book him again in the future. Thank you Simon and family”
“Kezia looked after our Weimeraner, Salto, and we can't recommend her enough. This was Salto's first time away and as he struggles the separation anxiety, we weren't sure how he would cope. Well we had no need to worry, Salto settled incredibly quickly and had a fantastic time, he has come home super happy and relaxed, which is better than any review I can give. Kezia kept us updated the whole weekend with plenty of photos, which we really appreciated and nothing was too much to ask. I've already started looking at more weekends away and won't hesitate to use Kezia again. Thank you! ✨”
“We are so grateful to Vicky & Amber for hosting our lovely Mini during our vacation! It’s been last minute request and all went so well at the end! Mini was taken a good care, with daily photos and videos shared with us. We were so pleased to see her enjoying her time and lots of play with Mowgli mastering tug of war 😆🐾”
“Could not fault Sally and her partner at all. They looked after my Labrador for 5 nights and they kept me updated, send me pictures and were sure quick with responses. I can tell Hector had the best time and was looked after with so much care and also lots and lots of love! Will definitely be rebooking with Sally and could not recommend her enough!”
“Chip had an awesome time with Dan! We got lots of updates from him and we could tell that our dog was really happy and well looked after. We highly recommend Dan as a dog sitter and would book him again any time.”
“Jenson had his longest stay with Serena to date and we felt comfortable leaving him in her care. She updated us daily and made sure to meet all of his needs, even though he can be a bit a difficult at times! Unfortunately Jenson needed a trip to the vets during his stay, due to a grass seed in his paw, but Serena and Colin took very good care of him and had no issues taking him to his registered practice. We would 100% recommend!”
“Gitana and her family looked after our 12 year old German Short-Haired Pointer Alfie for a whole weekend. We were able to book this with them only a few days before even though we needed an early drop off on the Saturday and a late pick up on the Sunday. Our dog is not used to staying anywhere without us, but Gitana was so warm and welcoming towards him and not only made him feel at ease, but us too in leaving him with her. We’d definitely re-book with this family, it was lovely to collect Alfie at the end of the weekend and to see that he’s clearly enjoyed himself and was able to play and relax and be himself. 😊”
“Lauren is great! Very easy to communicate with, and her family looked after Momo very well with lovely long walks and lots of cuddles. Will definitely book again. Thank you”

“Sol was brilliant. I booked very last minute for a 7 night stay, and she was so welcoming and kind. My dog can be quite anxious in new places, but Sol handled it patiently and kept me updated throughout. He seemed so relaxed and happy when I picked him up, and it was clear he’d been well cared for. I thank you so so much! We were at ease leaving him with her :)”
