“Sarah is brilliant, friendly and an obvious dog lover, also her home is lovely and set up perfectly for dogs. The updates she sends are so sweet and really put our mind at rest when our little dog Colin stays with her. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sarah and she is now our go-to when we need dog care.”
“Chelsea is amazing! She took great care of our dog, sending regular updates and photos so we could stay connected while we were away. Her communication was excellent, and it was clear she had a real connection with our pomeranian- he didn't want to leave her house at the end of the stay! We'll definitely be booking her again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“I couldn’t have hoped for better! Monica was amazing with my nervous and reactive rescue dog. She was patient and kind. He was comfortable with her in no time. Her communication was excellent and we had regular updates and pictures/video. She followed my directions to the letter. It was like my dog had a little holiday himself as Monica loved him like he was her own. Thank you so much!!!”
“Tom looked after Enola (our 18 month old flat coat retriever) and she had a great time. Tom was super flexible and kept us informed about our dog happiness with overwhelming us with information! We were able to kick back and enjoy a local festival (that did not allow dogs)!!”
“Words can’t say how happy I was with Chester’s care. It truly was home from home. I could see that he was treated as one of the family including the children. I liked that he could cuddle on the sofa in the evening with Jodie as he does with me at home and he had the freedom of the house. I would 100% recommend her. fabulous family environment”
“Luba took amazing care of my female German Shepherd over the three days she stayed with her. From the moment I dropped her off, I knew she was in great hands. Luba kept me updated with lots of photos and messages throughout her stay, which gave me real peace of mind. It was clear my dog was having a fantastic time and was being treated like one of the family. She looked so happy and relaxed that I honestly don't think she wanted to come home! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Luba to anyone looking for someone who genuinely loves and cares for dogs. I'll definitely be booking with her again very soon. Thank you, Luba!”
“Sarah was amazing with my two dogs. She looked after them at quite short notice. They both came back so happy. I loved her updates whilst they were with her. It was so clear that they were relaxed with her. A wonderful first experience using Rover! Thank you Sarah.”
“Lipa was so well cared for. She's old and has specific issues but Laura was very understanding, caring and Lipa loved her time with Laura. Laura completely fulfills the individual dogs' needs. Would highly recommend ans will book again.”
“Jill agreed to look after Snoopy for a week with a very short notice. We received daily photos and updates. Snoopy is a high energy dog and Jill made sure she had a lot of play time and walks every day throughout the week. Thank you 😊”
“Winston was looked after for 4 days, Frances gave plenty of updates and photos which was great to see the pup happy and gave me peace of mind. Seems like Winston had a good time himself as after I picked him up he just slept like a baby! Would definitely recommend and use Frances again”
“Shelley was excellent at looking after Hunter for the day, she didn't mind me arriving early in morning and she took care rest! Hunter was well looked after and had an amazing time. He was well tired when he got back home :)”
“Megan was absolutely wonderful with BoBo! Our miniature Dachshund can be quite a nervous soul in new places, but Megan’s patient approach meant he settled in no time. She followed every instruction perfectly and the frequent photo updates were such a lovely touch that kept us totally stress-free. We picked up a very happy pup and will definitely be booking Megan again!”
About: My experience goes beyond simply walking and feeding. I've worked with dogs who have behavioral challenges and understand the importance of reading body language, building trust, and creating a calm, positive environment. Every dog is different, and I take the time to learn what makes each one feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Over the years, I've also cared for friends' and family's dogs during vacations and extended stays, giving them the same love, attention, and routine they receive at home. In addition, volunteering at my local Humane Society gave me hands-on experience working with dogs from many different backgrounds, temperaments, and energy levels, further strengthening my confidence and adaptability. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can completely trust. I know they're family, and I treat every dog in my care with the same patience, affection, and respect I'd want for my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their routine, I'm committed to providing reliable, attentive care and making sure they feel loved while you're away. My goal isn't just to watch your dog—it's to make them feel at home and give you complete peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. This flexibility means I can accommodate walks, playtime, feedings, medication schedules, and lots of one-on-one companionship throughout the day. During the week, I don't have access to my own vehicle, so I primarily accept bookings that are within walking distance or accessible by public transportation. On weekends, I do have access to a car, which gives me greater flexibility for bookings that are farther away. I always communicate clearly with pet owners about availability and transportation to ensure we're a great fit before confirming a booking. No matter the day, when I'm caring for your pet, my priority is providing dependable, attentive care and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every dog as if they were my own and am committed to giving them the same care and routine they're used to at home. When caring for your pet, my top priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know that every dog has their own unique routine, preferences, and personality, so I take the time to learn exactly how you care for them at home and do my best to maintain that same routine while you're away. Keeping their schedule consistent helps reduce stress and allows them to feel right at home. I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, playtime, and companionship throughout their stay. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, relaxing on the couch, or playing with their favorite toys, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. f approved by you, I also love spoiling pups with healthy treats and extra enrichment. For longer stays, I enjoy taking dogs on fun adventures that match their personality and energy level, such as visits to the dog park, the beach, scenic walking trails, or other pet-friendly outings. Of course, every outing is discussed with and approved by you beforehand, and your dog's safety and comfort always come first. My goal is for your dog to feel happy, cared for, and loved while you're away—and for you to have complete peace of mind knowing they're in caring, reliable hands.
About: Animals have always been part of my life. Growing up, we always had dogs and other pets, and caring for animals has come naturally to me from a young age. For the last 10 years, our family shared our home with our much-loved French Bulldog, Woody. We recently lost him very suddenly, which left a huge hole in our hearts. While no dog could ever replace Woody, we're looking forward to opening our home to other dogs and giving them the same love, care and attention that he enjoyed. I've also regularly looked after friends' dogs, including a lovely Labrador who I cared for well into his senior years. This has given me experience with different personalities, routines and needs. My husband, Laszlo, is my additional caretaker and shares my love of dogs. Between us, there's usually someone at home to provide company, care and plenty of attention for our furry guests. What makes us different is that we only welcome dogs from one household at a time. Your dog will enjoy a relaxed family environment, a secure garden, walks to the nearby park, plenty of company and, if they're used to it, lots of sofa cuddles too! Dogs fit naturally into our family life. I work part-time weekdays (9am–1pm) and my husband works nights, so there's usually someone at home to keep your dog company. We live just a couple of minutes from the park, making it easy to fit walks, playtime and plenty of attention into every day. I care for every dog as if they were my own. Dogs staying with us become part of the family and are welcome to relax on the sofa, enjoy time in our secure garden, and join us for walks and play. I like to stick to each dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, sleeping arrangements and any special requirements. My goal is for owners to enjoy their time away knowing their dog is safe, happy and loved.
About: 50 years of caring for and loving animals. We will take great care of elderly dogs who might be lacking in confidence and need extra emotional and physical support. We are home all day every day and garden outside with the dogs’ help! They are also walked every day before retiring in front of the woodburner! Our 1 acre garden is securely fenced in a quiet location and we have 3 very friendly bitches of our own who love to socialise!
“This is Ginny’s 4th visit to Vanessa and she’s always really content and enjoys the company of Baxter and Yoda. Vanessa sent regular updates and we could relax and enjoy the holiday knowing our girl was very happy. 😊”

“Amanda was great with our two cats, Opal and Tourmaline. With one being very timid and the other very needy of attention, we were a bit worried to leave them; however, Amanda completely alleviated any stress or worry for the whole 2 weeks we were gone. Her communication was fab, and she was very observant of the girls' behaviour. Our ‘non-existent’ cat, Tourmaline, was very trusting and affectionate towards Amanda after only 3 days, so that’s a huge win for us (and shows a lot about Amanda's approach and nature). It was great to have updates and photos each day too, which really showed how well they were looked after. Will be using Amanda for cat-sitting going forward and highly recommend to anyone who is worried about leaving their fur babies.”
“Paula was so very kind and caring towards our cat and helped very much even when he was unwell. She kept in touch and sent pictures and videos of him. We were so grateful to have her here with him for peace of mind. She even cleaned the house before leaving which was so thoughtful. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I have worked for more than 5 years administering veterinarians as well as being a veterinary assistant as well, I have experience doing grooming and I am also very good at caring for sick dogs or dogs with special needs. I have had dogs all my life, I help stray dog organizations and I am an animal rescuer, I am very good at caring for animals and I put a lot of passion and love into it. My schedule is adapted to the needs of pets since I plan to make Rover my full-time job, since animals are what makes me the most happy in the world. I live very close to the river and a forest so I can take your dog to these places to go for a walk or play and he will have a lot of fun. If your dog is nervous or doesn't like being with other animals or prefers to just rest, he will be fine with me since I will adapt to the needs of your pet..
About: Growing up around animals I have gained experience in loving for horses, dogs, cats, reptiles and many more! I currently own two lovely girl rats (Luna and CC) and a puppy Finn! I am keen to transfer my animal loving nature towards your furry (or otherwise) children! I have owned many dogs through my time around animals big and small, I will attach some pictures of my previous pups down below! In my early years I owned a lovely pony called Rio, which involved early mornings and late nights of TLC. I own my own vehicle as well as a range of dog seat belt sizes, so if your dog enjoys time at the beach or would just enjoy some new scenery I can accommodate that too! No ask is too much! I work part time Wednesday to Saturday 9-5:30 so anything before or after those hours works great! Monday, Tuesday and Sunday I am fully flexible for you! Due to me and partner having small animals in my home for your pets safety and theirs I am only able to pet sit over night in your home, or if your animal is okay being on their own, and you just need me to pop by for potty breaks, walks or feeding/medication, I can do that too!
“Charlotte was brilliant and so wonderful with Rusty, it was the first time we have left him and had someone come in to see him and let him out. Even though he was a little nervous Charlotte communicated with me straight away and encouraged him gently out into the garden for a wee and a play. Charlotte communicated with me the whole time she was with Rusty and really reassured me that he was okay! Thank you for being so lovely and brilliant with Rusty”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m calm, patient, and reliable, and I always follow each pet’s routine closely. I prefer one-on-one walks so I can give dogs my full attention and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, playtime, and lots of affection, and I take responsibility and trust very seriously. I currently have a flexible schedule, which means I’m able to fit pet care easily into my daily routine. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits during weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I follow instructions carefully, respect your home, and keep pets on leads unless told otherwise. I make sure doors and gates are secure, routines are followed closely, and pets feel calm, safe, and well cared for at all times.
“We’re incredibly grateful to Lucy for checking in on our cat while we were away. She gave us such peace of mind with lovely updates and photos, and we got home to a relaxed and happy cat. Not sure he realised we’d been away! Thank you so much Lucy!”
“It has been a lovely experience having Allie care for our cat Lucy while we were away. She dropped in around the same time every day, providing lovely consistency for our cat. She sent a nice update with pictures included which gave us peace of mind. Allie is friendly and sweet in person, and made sure our cat got a nice fuss, groom and a cuddle on top of keeping her fed and watered. Thank you so much, Allie!”
“Bethany was the best sitter! She sent us so many cute photos showing how happy our kittens were with her. We felt very comfortable knowing she was taking care of them, and we’d happily rebook!”
“Both Tiggy & Ella absolutely love Lucia. They warmed to her instantly. I feel so happy and at peace to know my cats can remain at home in their daily routine and environment which has allowed me to have more freedom and not stress whilst I am away on weekend trips. ”
About: I’ve had cats since I was young and have always felt drawn to them. They are wonderful creatures and each and every one of them has such a unique personality. Rest assured when I’m caring for your cat they will be treated like the royalty each of them believe themselves to be. Cats can become very attached to a single person and dislike anyone else. It takes time to build that trust and I won’t push your cats boundaries. Im a very patient person and love to earn the connection with a cat. While you’re away your cat will be treated like family and I’ll make sure that they are happy and that you’re also happy with daily updates and photos. If your cat likes to play then we will get some toys and play, or maybe your cat just likes to have company and wants some pets. Whatever your cats requires I’m here to accommodate. Just let me know what your cat requires and it will be done. I look forward to hearing from you -Ben

Thanks Maddie for caring for them. x”

Thanks!”

About: I have grown up surrounded by animals - from little hamsters and bunnies to all sorts of dogs! I've got lots of experience around different sized dogs so understand their temperaments, behaviour and overall fun nature. I absolutely love dogs and taking them for woodland adventures around our home. I have a baby at home too who absolutely loves meeting new furry faces!

I'm currently on maternity leave and when I return to work I will be working from home so will be highly available for both weekdays and weekends! I'm currently on maternity leave, so I have plenty of time to cater to and play with your dog! Myself and my partner take our baby out on daily walks and like to switch up the locations to give her good stimulation - these include going to fields, parks, forests and river walks - so why not have your little furry friend come along and enjoy the fun? Being on maternity leave with the ability to work from home on my return enables me to be quite available and flexible with my time. I own a 3-bedroom/3-story house with a fenced garden, so there is ample space for your little fur ball to run around and explore! Having a baby at home ensures that everything is kept clean and tidy, so your dog will have enough space for all their kit!

About: Hello I am a mature and responsible pet sitter with considerable experience with small to medium sized dogs, old and young, located in Suffolk. I am fully insured with an Enhanced DBS on the update service, I am constantly updating my skills and have received Canine First Aid and Dog Behavioural Training. I spend a lot of time with the animals I care for particularly with companion dogs who are used to spending a lot of time with their owners. I love the countryside and like to take my dogs on interesting and adventurous walks suitable for their ability. I carry out extra household duties such as watering plants, putting bins out and any other specific duties my clients would like to care for their home whilst they are away. I have a background in property management and can react quickly if any unusual issues arise. I am primarily a part time book editor but I work from home so I can be flexible with my time. When I look after your home and pets, I do not walk or look after any other household. I like to spend nearly all my time with the dogs and take them out on trips with me. Pet sitting needs to be scheduled in advance. I can be available last minute for local sits and walks subject to availability. I am a loving House & Pet Sitter and care for animals in their own comfortable home environment. I prefer to meet both my clients and their pets beforehand so normally work within a reasonable driving distance, although I do have clients in London and Norfolk.

“Sarah is brilliant, friendly and an obvious dog lover, also her home is lovely and set up perfectly for dogs. The updates she sends are so sweet and really put our mind at rest when our little dog Colin stays with her. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sarah and she is now our go-to when we need dog care.”
“Tom looked after Enola (our 18 month old flat coat retriever) and she had a great time. Tom was super flexible and kept us informed about our dog happiness with overwhelming us with information! We were able to kick back and enjoy a local festival (that did not allow dogs)!!”
“Words can’t say how happy I was with Chester’s care. It truly was home from home. I could see that he was treated as one of the family including the children. I liked that he could cuddle on the sofa in the evening with Jodie as he does with me at home and he had the freedom of the house. I would 100% recommend her. fabulous family environment”
“Luba took amazing care of my female German Shepherd over the three days she stayed with her. From the moment I dropped her off, I knew she was in great hands. Luba kept me updated with lots of photos and messages throughout her stay, which gave me real peace of mind. It was clear my dog was having a fantastic time and was being treated like one of the family. She looked so happy and relaxed that I honestly don't think she wanted to come home! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Luba to anyone looking for someone who genuinely loves and cares for dogs. I'll definitely be booking with her again very soon. Thank you, Luba!”
“Sarah was amazing with my two dogs. She looked after them at quite short notice. They both came back so happy. I loved her updates whilst they were with her. It was so clear that they were relaxed with her. A wonderful first experience using Rover! Thank you Sarah.”
About: My experience goes beyond simply walking and feeding. I've worked with dogs who have behavioral challenges and understand the importance of reading body language, building trust, and creating a calm, positive environment. Every dog is different, and I take the time to learn what makes each one feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Over the years, I've also cared for friends' and family's dogs during vacations and extended stays, giving them the same love, attention, and routine they receive at home. In addition, volunteering at my local Humane Society gave me hands-on experience working with dogs from many different backgrounds, temperaments, and energy levels, further strengthening my confidence and adaptability. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can completely trust. I know they're family, and I treat every dog in my care with the same patience, affection, and respect I'd want for my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their routine, I'm committed to providing reliable, attentive care and making sure they feel loved while you're away. My goal isn't just to watch your dog—it's to make them feel at home and give you complete peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. This flexibility means I can accommodate walks, playtime, feedings, medication schedules, and lots of one-on-one companionship throughout the day. During the week, I don't have access to my own vehicle, so I primarily accept bookings that are within walking distance or accessible by public transportation. On weekends, I do have access to a car, which gives me greater flexibility for bookings that are farther away. I always communicate clearly with pet owners about availability and transportation to ensure we're a great fit before confirming a booking. No matter the day, when I'm caring for your pet, my priority is providing dependable, attentive care and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every dog as if they were my own and am committed to giving them the same care and routine they're used to at home. When caring for your pet, my top priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know that every dog has their own unique routine, preferences, and personality, so I take the time to learn exactly how you care for them at home and do my best to maintain that same routine while you're away. Keeping their schedule consistent helps reduce stress and allows them to feel right at home. I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, playtime, and companionship throughout their stay. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, relaxing on the couch, or playing with their favorite toys, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. f approved by you, I also love spoiling pups with healthy treats and extra enrichment. For longer stays, I enjoy taking dogs on fun adventures that match their personality and energy level, such as visits to the dog park, the beach, scenic walking trails, or other pet-friendly outings. Of course, every outing is discussed with and approved by you beforehand, and your dog's safety and comfort always come first. My goal is for your dog to feel happy, cared for, and loved while you're away—and for you to have complete peace of mind knowing they're in caring, reliable hands.
About: Animals have always been part of my life. Growing up, we always had dogs and other pets, and caring for animals has come naturally to me from a young age. For the last 10 years, our family shared our home with our much-loved French Bulldog, Woody. We recently lost him very suddenly, which left a huge hole in our hearts. While no dog could ever replace Woody, we're looking forward to opening our home to other dogs and giving them the same love, care and attention that he enjoyed. I've also regularly looked after friends' dogs, including a lovely Labrador who I cared for well into his senior years. This has given me experience with different personalities, routines and needs. My husband, Laszlo, is my additional caretaker and shares my love of dogs. Between us, there's usually someone at home to provide company, care and plenty of attention for our furry guests. What makes us different is that we only welcome dogs from one household at a time. Your dog will enjoy a relaxed family environment, a secure garden, walks to the nearby park, plenty of company and, if they're used to it, lots of sofa cuddles too! Dogs fit naturally into our family life. I work part-time weekdays (9am–1pm) and my husband works nights, so there's usually someone at home to keep your dog company. We live just a couple of minutes from the park, making it easy to fit walks, playtime and plenty of attention into every day. I care for every dog as if they were my own. Dogs staying with us become part of the family and are welcome to relax on the sofa, enjoy time in our secure garden, and join us for walks and play. I like to stick to each dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, sleeping arrangements and any special requirements. My goal is for owners to enjoy their time away knowing their dog is safe, happy and loved.

“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!

We would 100% recommend!”
