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.

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!

What can I say, Adele is outstanding. Sadly our senior had to be put to sleep while we were on holiday and Adele contacted me, and stayed with Pebbles as she crossed the bridge. I am so grateful as I was devastated that I wasn’t by her side. I will never be able to thank her enough for being a comfort to our little Pebbles in her time of need Xx

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. 🐾💕

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!

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.

About: I’ve been around and caring for cats since I was young and understand that every cat has their own personality, routine and boundaries. I’m confident caring for cats of different ages and temperaments, including older cats who may need a little more patience, attention and a quieter approach. I’m happy to follow feeding routines, clean litter trays, give medication where required, provide play and enrichment, and of course give affection on their terms. I know some cats can take time to feel comfortable with someone new, so I never force interaction. I let them come to me and make sure they feel safe and settled in their own home. I’m reliable, attentive and happy to send regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your cat is being properly cared for while you’re away.

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: 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.

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.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved caring for them. I grew up with many cats, and since I was little I’ve helped look after them, including taking in stray cats during my childhood. We also always had family dogs, and I loved spending time with them, playing, and taking them out for walks. In total, my whole family 5 dogs overall, so I’m very comfortable being around different breeds and personalities. I also have personal experience caring for a small tortoise named Frankie, so I’m used to looking after pets with different needs and routines. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy giving them attention, care, and companionship. I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of time to give pets the attention they need. I’m available for dog walks, home visits, boarding, and overnight stays, and I can be flexible to suit your pet’s routine. I’m happy to help with whatever is needed to make sure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for. I live in a small two-bedroom house, and although I don’t have a garden, there is a small nature reserve area just behind my home that’s perfect for dog walks. There’s also a bigger park about a 5 to 10 minute walk away, so there’s plenty of outdoor space and nature nearby for exercise and fresh air. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and cared for in a calm, safe environment.

About: I’ve loved dogs since childhood, and for the past two years, I’ve been looking after my friends' dog. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and always treat every pet as if they were my own. I am patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet's individual needs. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, so I adapt my care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I have the opportunity to be with the pet constantly during summer school holidays, as well as during the school year, when I can devote the maximum amount of time to the pet. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I make sure they have fresh water, are fed according to their routine, get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. I always keep their environment clean and safe, follow the owner's instructions carefully, and provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind.

Jane was absolutely fantastic with our dogs. She is a very kind and caring person, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals. Our dogs stayed with her for two days, and the best proof of how happy they were is that on the second day they were excited to go back to her again. They looked relaxed, happy, and well cared for throughout their stay. I would highly recommend Jane to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. The happiness and excitement of our dogs says it all. Thank you, Jane!

About: I have a hands on experience caring for a variety of animals. I currently look after 11 pets of my own, including 9 cats and 2 dogs, so I’m confident managing multiple pets while giving each one proper attention. I’ve raised four cats from kittens, so I understand the needs of young animals, including feeding, routine, and socialisation. I also make sure all my pets are happy by buying them new toys each month! Additionally, I have experience with pets that need extra attention, including an elderly deaf dog and high maintenance breeds. Although I work full time, my shifts are either mornings or evenings, which gives me flexibility and time in between to provide attention and care. When caring for pets in an owners home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible to keep the pets comfortable and stress free. I also like to know what the pets favourite toys and treats are so I can surprise them time to time!

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.

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: 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: I’ve had pets all my life and they are constantly the best thing in my life. I’ve always loved animals but having pets that become part of your family is so special which is why I would love to help anyone out as I know it can be difficult at times to make sure they’re living as happily as can be! I work part time and am in college a few days a week but I still find myself having a lot of spare time especially in my evenings from 3 onwards. I also have two days off college where I feel I could be a lot of help to others even just for a dog walk. My routine never changes it is the same weekly so I would be happy to schedule weekly sessions to keep routine. I have a fenced garden so no escaping I’m afraid😂 I am more then happy to crate your animals if needed as I understand keeping them in your usual routine is important. I have a dog and a cat who love other animals which of course will keep yours company !

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!

What can I say, Adele is outstanding. Sadly our senior had to be put to sleep while we were on holiday and Adele contacted me, and stayed with Pebbles as she crossed the bridge. I am so grateful as I was devastated that I wasn’t by her side. I will never be able to thank her enough for being a comfort to our little Pebbles in her time of need Xx

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

It was my first time using Cathy and her adorable golden retriever Stan. We initially met to see if Lana was comfortable there. When we returned for Lana to stay, she happily walked into Cathy’s driveway. Cathy sent me pupdates while Lana was with her. At no time was I concerned about Lana. In fact, my plans changed and Cathy kindly extended Lana’s stay for me at short notice which was so very kind and helpful of her. When I picked Lana up, although she was happy to see me, she was in no rush to leave. Lana, and in fact, myself, were treated like a member of the family. I know for a fact that Lana was not distressed as she licks her paw raw when distressed. Lana was with Cathy for nearly 24 hours and her paw was perfect. I will definitely be using Cathy (and Stan) again. X

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!

About: I have been surrounded by animals throughout my life and have experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, and fish. 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 work from home, which gives me the flexibility and availability to provide reliable, attentive care tailored to you and your pet's individual needs.

If preferred, I can also accommodate dogs that are crate trained or require crating as part of their routine. I offer both dog walking and home boarding services. Whether you need someone to take your dog for a local walk while you're at work or a caring home-from-home environment while you're away for a few days, you can be confident your pet will receive attentive, personalised 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.

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.

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.
