“Mac’s stay with Emma was great. I think he had a nice holiday while I was away on my holiday. He settled back into his routine at home quickly and he is very happy so that shows he was well looked after by Emma and her family. Thanks Emma.”
“Perfect… Barley loved his time with Hannah and the family and was definitely well looked after! Brilliant communication and attention to detail. I’ll be in touch for the next booking :-)”
About: I’m a huge dog lover with over 4 years of experience caring for my two dogs since puppies and I also volunteer with a dog rescue, so dogs really are a massive part of my life! Having two dogs myself, I know how difficult and stressful it can be finding someone you trust to look after them, which is why I’m here to help! I’m a proud mum to my daughter, a huge cuddler, and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy and loved while they’re with me. Every dog in my care will be treated just like one of my own and I promise to send you updates so you feel at ease leaving them with me❤️ I’m currently on maternity leave, which means I’m around most of the time and can be really flexible with times, including those last minute plans! 🐾 In the New Year, I’ll be returning to full time work, but I’ll only be in the office 2 days a week and working from home the rest. Your dog will never be left uncared for. Me and my two cockapoos are always ready for walks, playtime or, most importantly, cuddles!❤️🐶 Your dog’s safety and happiness will always come first! I have a fully enclosed garden with 6ft fencing, giving your dog plenty of safe space to play and explore. I also have two friendly cockapoos who absolutely love to play and will be more than happy to keep your dog company! Inside, I have a baby gate so dogs can be safely separated when needed. Dogs will have access to downstairs and will only go upstairs when accompanied by me, so I always know where they are and what they’re up to. I’m more than happy to take your dog out for walks during their stay. For their safety and your peace of mind, any dog in my care will always be kept on a lead when out on normal walks, regardless of how good their recall is. I also regularly hire a fully enclosed private dog field, where they can safely come off the lead, have a proper run around and play with my two! And of course… treats are never far away😂 I always have treats to hand, but if your dog has a favourite brand, allergies or specific dietary requirements, please bring their usual treats along so I can keep everything familiar and safe🩷
“Tanna and her partner have been absolutely incredible with our Golden Retriever Jackson! They boarded him for a week and looked after him in the first few days when he was sick (he had an upset tummy and vomiting because as a side effect of the deworming tablets we gave him). Tanna sent us daily updates, photos and videos and we loved to see how he became best friends with Nala! I would not hesitate to reach out to you again on our next holiday, thanks so much!”
“Michael was fantasti! He looked after our Basset Hound like she was his own. Michael sent me regular photos and videos. I will be using Michael again, whenever we need our Polly to be looked after.”
“My terrier poodle Oscar had a super weekend with Debbie, lots of walks, runs, attention and lots of updates with photos for me. He’s recovering in bed from such an exciting and action filled time. Thank you, he’s looking forward to his next visit already. Xx”
“I almost don’t want to write a review so that I can keep Jill a secret! Jill is wonderful and an expert in her field. We felt totally relaxed leaving our dog for his one night sleepover. He had a great time and Jill made sure his time was just like being at home. We have struck gold with Jill and her lovely husband.”

We had a great meet-and-greet session recently after a local friend recommended Andrea, and Frank was absolutely obsessed with her as soon as they were introduced, so we booked a stay in for a day when I had to be out at an event all day.

“I am feeling Extremely happy. Our Communication via the booking went extremely well. I met with Lucia prior to going away and we got on like a house on fire :-) My cats warmed to Lucia instantly and upon my return were extremely relaxed and happy, it was like I had never been away. Looking forward to booking Lucia in the near future.”
“Megan was reliable from the start and was flexible when our plans changed at the last minute. She came to the house to meet Doodle beforehand and listened to me rabbit on about what he needs/likes. Megan kept us updated on Doodle whilst we were away and even cleaned up after he had a couple of accidents, which I didn’t expect. She spent time with him and sent pictures each day, which were nice to see and put my mind at rest that he was happy, having some company and was being looked after. We would certainly book her again in the future.”
“I cannot recommend Amy highly enough. On our first meeting she showed a real true care with my cats and they took to her instantly too. Working away is always a worry when leaving our cats in the hands of others, especially as we have two with medical needs, so finding Rover and Amy has been a blessing. To receive a notification when Amy is with them is of great comfort and to see daily check list and photos was very welcomed. Arriving home to a lovely clean space where the trays and food areas were spotless was wonderful and or cats look like they had a blast and love their new kitty nanny! I will be booking Amy for our Holiday next year knowing that they are in safe and caring hands!”
“Hayley looked after our Bob very well and also accommodated an extra visit when our flight home was delayed. Came home to a relaxed and happy cat! Would definitely recommend Hayley and ask her to look after Bob again. ”
About: I have always been around cats and have cared for them for many years, both my own and those belonging to family and friends. Through this experience, I have become confident in feeding, cleaning litter trays, grooming, giving plenty of attention and playtime, and understanding different cat personalities. I know that some cats love cuddles and company, while others prefer their own space, and I always respect their individual needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with cats and take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. 🐾💕
“Steph was absolutely amazing while looking after my cat Hettie during my holiday. Her communication was brilliant throughout—regular updates, thoughtful messages, and the loveliest photos that really put my mind at ease. She went above and beyond in every way, and it was clear how much care and attention she gave. I came home to a very happy, relaxed cat, and I’m so grateful. I couldn’t recommend Steph more highly.”
About: I’ve helped my parents walking our dog since he was a puppy. I’ll feed him on time and company him when his family aren’t around. I’ll make sure he has a familiar person during thunderstorms and fireworks. I’m currently working part time and will be free most days of the week. I’m an animal person so they fit in perfectly with my free time. I have a fenced and good sized garden where my dog can safely play and have fun. I make sure my dog has a walk and playtime. He has his food accordingly and a relaxing evening before bed.
About: I’ve had cats in my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with cats from the day I was born, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I now have a cat of my own, who is very much part of the family and means the world to me. I understand that every cat has their own personality, routines and preferences, and I’ll take the time to get to know yours and care for them in the way they’re used to. Friends have also trusted me to look after their cats while they’ve been away. This has included visiting their homes to feed them, clean litter trays and make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I always spend time with them too, including playing with them and giving them attention and company rather than simply popping in to put food down. I know how worrying it can be leaving your pets when you’re away, so I’ll treat your cat with the same care and attention I’d want someone to give mine.
“Eloise is just perfect. She did an excellent job with Kaya and Coco, was always on time, and was willing to change the schedule last minute when necessary. Great updates and photos. Would recommend highly!”

“I can’t speak highly enough of Tanna and the care and attention she gave Storm from initial meet to caring for my Great Dane. Needless to say I will be booking again and again”
“Hannah has been absolutely fantastic with Teddy and they really bonded. Teddy loves it when we tell him he's going to Hannah's. I can sincerely recommend Hannah to look after your dog.”
“This was Rylee’s first visit to Jill. She kept me updated on how she was settling. Rylee seemed to settle quickly, going out for a walk first thing, enjoying cuddles and watering the garden. Wonderful experience, thank you x”
About: What sets me apart is the constant care and attention your dog will receive. I spent a lot of time with our family bulldog Drax, who has since passed, so I have real, hands-on experience with daily dog care and a deep understanding of their needs. I work from home, so dogs are never left alone and get plenty of companionship throughout the day. Depending on the age and health of your dog we can make walks on my lunch break longer or shorter, and adjust any weekend activities! I have a sunny, fenced garden with patio doors so your pup can enjoy being indoors and out, we also have a field at the back for nice walks.
“Dylan had a fantastic day with Michael! He was so well looked after, with lots of playtime. The location is perfect, with a large and secure garden, plenty of space inside and a fun walk nearby, away from roads. Highly recommended!”
About: I am a trained dog groomer and have been dog sitting and walking on and off for a couple of years. I also have worked abroad in dog rescue. I work from home so I am home all of the time. So I can walk them daily and play with them and I am home all day and night with them. I care for pets in my own home , I have my own dog and child who is 5 so they will have to be dog and child friendly.
“Lots of photos and updates from Andrea. Very happy with the care given to Bow and Buddy. They were tired when I got them home, which is always a good sign ☺️ would use her again, and in fact already book their next visit”

About: I've always lived with dogs and times when I've lived with cats too! We often had a litter of puppies about when I was growing up! I now have a pug who is my fur baby. I understand that pets aren't "just a pet", they're family, so they all have their own needs and quirks and how important it is for you to have someone trustworthy. I'm not currently working at the moment so am flexible when I can offer my services to suit you and you fur baby's needs. I've got a friendly pug if your pet would like canine company, or I can care for them alone if preferred. Im often down the beach but can adapt to whatever your pets needs are. If they prefer someone to pop in and give fuss and less keen on exercise, I'm happy to do that too!
About: I've taken care of little medium and big paws 🐾 Your fur baby's will love me walking them and sitting with them 🩷 Loving them I'm currently available every Monday Tuesday Wednesday & Friday for your paw pups! From 9 - 2.30 your pups are going to have the best time with me no doubt about it Im Availble for the odd walks if you need someone for the odd walk I have the freedom to take them on nice long walks on the field and greenery and if you feel comfortable i can sit them at your house
About: I have a genuine love of animals and practical experience of caring for neighbours, friends and family pets. I also have theoretical knowledge a level 3 extended diploma in animal management. I am confident with daily walks, feeding schedules, following care instructions and making sure pets are safe, happy and always looked after whilst in my care. I am reliable, trustworthy and caring and will treat dogs as if they are my own. From Mondays to Fridays I currently volunteer for the Essex Wildlife Trust so I am flexible and free to dog walk and house sit your pets including at weekends. I train and play football for a local club but am happy to accommodate looking after your much loved pet around these commitments. From the beginning I will want to get to know your pet so I will spend time bonding with them, playing, talking and keeping them company. I know that pets like consistency so I will stay close to their normal routine which I will ensure I fully understand by asking for clear instructions from you. This includes knowing feeding times, portion sizes and any dietary needs and health requirements, where and when they are walked and their comfort toys and sleeping habits. I will add details of your vet to my pet plan should a medical emergency arise. If your pet uses your garden I will check that the gate is closed and the fences are secure before letting them out and I will then supervise and clean up their mess. I will send you regular updates and photos and of course report anything of concern immediately. I appreciate that it's not only your pet that I am responsible for but also your home which I will do my best to keep clean and tidy and follow any house rules that you give me.
About: Hi, I’m Steph :) I have been bought up with dogs all of my life; when I was a baby I had our pet Rottweiler by my side 24/7. Then throughout my childhood we had red setters, retired greyhounds & staffy’s as part of the family. I currently have a little staffy named Blue. She is almost 9 years old and is a complete softy who needs cuddles all day long. Which is why she needs three walks per day, to have a break from the cuddles ;). I absolutely love animals, dogs especially because their personalities are so bubbly and unique. I love keeping active so dog walking/sitting is an absolute dream of mine, and seeing doggos happy makes me so happy too. I hope to shake paws with you soon 🐾 I currently work independently for myself from home, so I am flexible for all timings, 7 days per week. All I ask is to have 1 week notice for all bookings. Ideally I would like to have some homes that I can visit on a regular, long term basis so I can really get to know your pets and they get to know me :) All of my services will be home visit based and I will gladly provide all of the care and attention your pet needs for the duration of the time I am with them. I am very caring and attentive when it comes to animals, so you will return to a very happy pet when you come home. I am happy to feed and walk and provide any extra attention that your pay needs.
About: I am a trained dog groomer and have been dog sitting and walking on and off for a couple of years. I also have worked abroad in dog rescue. I work from home so I am home all of the time. So I can walk them daily and play with them and I am home all day and night with them. I care for pets in my own home , I have my own dog and child who is 5 so they will have to be dog and child friendly.
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have been caring for pets since I was around 10 years old. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, as well as pets of different ages, personalities and routines. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person looking after your pets, so I always take the time to understand their normal routine, likes, dislikes and any individual needs. I work from home, which gives me lots of flexibility and means I can spend plenty of time with the animals in my care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m happy to follow feeding and walking routines, provide lots of playtime and attention, and of course give plenty of cuddles to pets who want them! My aim is for your pet to feel safe, settled and loved while you’re away and for you to be able to relax knowing they’re in good hands. I work from home which gives me much larger availability to care for my own animals and to give me time to care for others. I live at home with my mum so thankfully we also have someone in for my dogs/cats and I am able to do the same for someone else. I work full-time from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day. I can easily work pet care around my schedule, including regular feeding, toilet breaks, walks, playtime and lots of company. This also means pets in my care won’t be left alone for long periods. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll follow their usual routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, medication, walks and household rules. I make sure their environment is secure and pay close attention to their behaviour so I can spot if anything seems unusual. I also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: Having grown up with dogs of all sizes I miss having one around more than ever! I’d love the opportunity to meet your pup for daytime drop-ins, walks and occasional overnight stays. I’m currently working Weds-Sun in Colchester, finishing at 3:30pm - so would be available all day Mondays & Tuesdays or from 4pm the rest of the week. Whatever works best for you and your dog/s, I’ll be happy to follow the guidelines that you feel most comfortable with in your home/ environment.
About: I am a friendly and fun dog lover. I am a secondary school teacher who works during the weekdays! At the weekends I love to spend time with my dogs Myles and Arko, and I also love to be active. I am available during half terms including the 6 weeks summer holidays to dog sit your in your own home or to drop in where it is needed. During the half terms and weekends I have no commitments and therefore your dog would be my only priority alongside my own! I work week days as a secondary teacher with availability from Friday evening- Sunday evening! I also have every school holiday/ half term available for pet care! I will look after your pet in your own home with the routine that they know and love. Each of my visits are tailored to what your pet needs and what you would like from my service.
“Eloise is a great dog walker. She is extremely friendly and easy to get on with, yet is professional and able to make an instant connection with dogs. She clearly is a dog lover. My dog Chico clearly reciprocates the affection and enjoys his walks and contacts with Eloise. I highly recommend Eloise.”
About: After 21 years working for His Majesty's Prison and Probation service, I finally decided to follow my passion to care for dogs. Since I was 8 years old, I have loved and taken care of my own dogs and those that belong to friends and family. I know how much dogs mean to their families but know that circumstances often mean owners need support to walk or visit their four legged family members. I am qualified in Canine First Aid, it is vital to keep your pets safe and happy in my care. Pet care is my only job so I have plenty of time to visit your dogs (to play, feed, toilet break, cuddle them) or to walk them (ensuring the walk is tailored to their needs). When dogs are in my care I will ensure they are always safe whether it be on a leaded walk or in your home. I also offer supervised off-lead play in my secure garden if this is required for your dog.

I have trained my own dogs in agility, achieving Grade 5, as well as in Obedience and Trick Dog disciplines, earning recognised titles along the way. I am passionate about animal welfare and dedicated to providing the highest standard of care. I take pride in offering a reliable, professional service that enables more people to enjoy the companionship of dogs, with the confidence that their pets are receiving exceptional care.

I also have three children who have grown up around dogs and understand how to interact with them calmly and respectfully, helping to create a welcoming and family-friendly environment for your pet.
“This is our first time using Rover and we could not be any happier with the choice we met. Judit and her family took wonderful care of our dog. Due to being July and our normal kennels fully booked , Rover came as a life saviour. We are fully recommending Judit and her family; they are professional, friendly and K had a home from home. Beautiful pictures and our dog was so happy there We will be using them again in the future! Thank you, Anca and James!”
“Amadeusz watched our senior chihuahua for a bit over a week - I was nervous going into it because Ellie can be a bit wary of new people, but she settled right in with Amadeusz! We received regular updates on how she was doing, along with photos - it provided peace of mind that she was well taken care of in our absence. When our return was delayed due to problems with the flight, Amadeusz was very flexible and told us not to worry. We will definitely book again next time we need care for Ellie. Thank you!”
“Patricia took such good care of my dog, Lila. She stayed with her for two nights and everything went really well. Patricia was so kind and attentive, and she kept me updated with photos and videos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind Thank you Patricia :)”
“Briony's communication was excellent from start to finish, and she kept us updated throughout the weekend with regular messages and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. Our dog is quite nervous around new people and in unfamiliar environments, but Briony made her feel right at home. She also got on well with Briony's two dogs. It was clear she was well cared for, comfortable, and happy during her stay. We would definitely recommend Briony, thank you again!”

Lindy had an excellent weekend and had lots of love and walks which was so lovely to hear. Lindy got along with Stan too which is an added bonus to all. I highly recommend Cathy! :D”
About: I adore dogs, and I am the proud parent to an almost 3 year old rescue pup who equally loves other dogs around to play with. I fully understand the trust, care and consideration needed when leaving your family member whilst you're away, in order to make you and your dog feel safe and worry free 😊 I have always had rescues, so know that all pups have different personalities and anxieties which we are well catered to deal with. I have rescued and fostered dogs in the past, and can offer a stable environment filled with enrichment, cuddles and patience. My own dog Eevee is a wonderful companion, she is patient and non dominant so knows how to behave when a new pup may need some time and space to decompress. I only work on a flexible basis 2 hours of an evening so there is always somebody at home with your pup. I am happy to send all the photos and updates you need while you're away-I know im obsessed with photo updates of my dog when I go abroad! Should you want to do a meet and greet beforehand, I am happy to arrange this as I understand it can be nerve wracking leaving your pooch with someone new for the first time! I am new to Rover, but not short on experience of looking after dogs. With successful foster care under my belt as well as helping out plenty of friends and family in the past I look forward to offering a safe, happy space to care for your pooch where they feel at home :) Currently I work flexi part time for 2-3hrs in the evening. When it comes to weekend bookings I would fit my time around your dogs needs to make sure they are getting the time, love and attention they deserve! Plus its a wonderful excuse for me to stay home all weekend, with nature walks im between as a self confessed home body. I have a fully fenced, good sized garden for your dog to play in. Our own dog Eevee is super easy going and playful. She is used to nervous fosters around so will happily give space should your dog need a little time to warm up! I am happy to follow your lead in routines you like to keep as well as any crating arrangements. Dogs typically have free roam of my home.
“We felt very confident leaving our elderly dog with Hayley and Paul. He received excellent care and settled in well. I recommend Hayley without hesitation and certainly would leave our boy with her again.”
About: Me and my partner have had dogs all our lives. We have had two dobermans and one rescue beagle cross. We still have one Doberman and the beagle within our family. We have two children age 5 and 7 who have been brought up with our dogs and our very dog savvy. We are experienced with big breeds and also small. Our dogs are treated like family, two walks a day we live in the country so field walks mainly, they are allowed in the house and on the sofa and if they can sneak on the bed they will try haha! There is always someone at home generally as I work from home part time so never left long period of time. Both our dogs love other dogs they have always been well socialised. I work two days from home and the other days I am around at home and you dogs will never be left for long periods of time. I have a large fenced garden which is secure. The fence is 1m high as we back onto fields and is gated at the side.

“Gitana and her family are simply wonderful! From the clear and quick communication when arranging the sit, to the warm and reassuring drop off, to the frequent pictures and messages during the sit, and the full handover on collection, I couldn't have asked for a better experience of leaving Arlo with sitters for the weekend. I'll absolutely be requesting to book Gitana again in the future - thank you! X”
“Anita is the ultimate dog sitter! She is extremely caring, vigilant and always reachable for updates, whenever she takes care of my dog Lola. In fact she's been the only dog sitter who knows how to quickly calm Lola down, soon after I've left her. Anita is also a truly wonderful person, sincere, polite and respectful, in every possible way. Lola loves her!”
