“Laura and Kevin are very kind, caring and attentive dog boarders. My 2 dogs stayed with them for 11 nights and I received updates at minimum twice daily everyday and any questions raised were responded to quickly. They are both willing to go the extra mile to make sure the dogs the comfortable e.g. bathing my dog with warm water, cos it was cold, when he rolled himself in fox poo. Laura will always ask before doing anything different with the dogs e.g. introducing them to new people or dogs. I 100% recommend Laura and Kevin!!”
“I’m so grateful to have found Daria and to have someone I completely trust with my dog, Archie. From the moment we met, she put me at ease, she really understands dogs and knew exactly how to help Archie feel comfortable when he was a little nervous. She kept me updated every day with lovely photos and videos, which meant so much. Archie was so happy with her; he was safe, well cared for, and clearly relaxed and content. I honestly couldn’t recommend Daria more. Thank you so much for looking after Archie—I’ll definitely be booking with you again! xx”
“Kevin, Denise, and their girls were absolutely fantastic! Our 1-year-old British Bulldog, Molly, had a wonderful two-week stay with their family. We received daily photos and videos of her playing, eating, and enjoying plenty of walks. It was clear she was having the best time! In fact, when we went to pick her up, she looked like she didn’t want to leave! We’re so grateful to Kevin and his family for the love and care they gave to Molly, and for giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. Knowing she was safe, happy, and truly part of their family meant the world to us. We’ll definitely be booking with them again and can’t recommend them highly enough!”
“What a lovely lady. We arranged a pre stay visit to see if Wilson was compatible with Wendy. He took to her straight away which set my mind at ease. He stayed with her her for three weeks with no problems. I could tell from the regular updates and photos he was enjoying his stay there. She has a great house and garden plus a park in close proximity. I highly recommend Wendy as I will be choosing her again if and when the need arises.”
“As always, milo was carefully cared for by Gabriella. She kept me updated throughout his stay and paid special attention to him as he was feeling poorly prior to drop off. He had a blast with the other dogs she was looking after, which is always lovely to see. Thanks again!”
“Lovely family, made me feel at ease I knew our dogs would be well looked after, we got regular updates and pictures, they enjoyed lots of attention and cuddles here! Thanks again for looking after them for the weekend!”
“Natalia and her partner were a very big help with my new puppy. She provided a great service and took very good care of my pup with patience and regular updates and pictures. Thank you!”
“Mauricio & his family looked after our two dogs for one night and we couldn’t be happier. We got lots of regular really lovely updates and pictures of them with their dog and kids. We don’t leave our dogs very often so always have to get a good feeling when leaving them and once we had a meeting prior to leaving them we instantly got a really nice feeling of a welcome family home. You and your doggies won’t be disappointed in leaving them with these guys. Really lovely & nice for us to know we have two sitters we’ve found now who can look after our pups :) Thanks again”
“It was our first time leaving Bentley, so we were naturally nervous. We met Wayne and he immediately put us at ease. From his lovely clean flat, his knowledge of how to look after dogs, and his cheery personality, we felt much happier. As promised, he sent pics and pupdates, and (thankfully) Bentley behaved himself 😉 We can't recommend Wayne highly enough. Thanks Wayne, much appreciated.”
“Lea & Lucas were fantastic with our miniature schnauzer Frank, they sent updates which we found really reassuring to be able to see that Frank was having a great time and had settled in Will definitely be using Lea & Lucas again”
“We left our boy( dog) with Michelle for 10 days while we were away, and WOW was the best decision to give our dog to Michelle and Ava ( who helped and our dog become attached to her 😊). Michelle kept us updated with pictures and daily messages about our boy. I didnt felt that we left Fidel with a stranger. Michelle and her family and Wilf and Ralf embraced and welcomed Fidel. He felt at home straight away. I will definitely bring Fidel back to Michelle and highly recommend the complete package that she offers.”
“I had a great experience with Irene as a dog sitter. She was very welcoming from the start and seemed genuinely attentive to Bam Bam’s needs. Her home was clean, calm, and spacious, which instantly gave me confidence that he would be well looked after in a safe and comfortable environment. I really appreciated her warmth and professionalism — I’d definitely recommend her and would happily use her again!”
“After dropping my puppy at Nicole’s, I could tell he would be staying with a family that loves and adores dogs. Milo was so well looked after & enjoyed his time at her home 💗”
About: Hello! We are Dave and Mateja, who live in a house with a large fenced garden with our golden retriever/labrador Luna. She is our first baby who joined us nearly 6 years ago, but we have both grown up with dogs all our lives and we love looking after them, play with them and take them for long walks. Whilst new to Rover, we look after family’s and friends’ dogs part-time and have 10+ years experience of taking care of doggies big and small. I did puppy school with my first dog Nicky (maltese) over 15 years ago and have picked up experience on teaching and training dogs. We live in a house on a private road, surrounded by trees and a big park. We regularly walk the dogs in the park which we can access from our road so there is no danger of any traffic. We have lots of dog toys (well, Luna does but she is happy to share) and plenty of space for ball throwing. I am DBS checked and have pet first aid certificate, available for inspection upon request. If you’re new to Rover too, you can get £15 off your first booking with code MATEJS98402 I am currently on maternity leave and Dave works from home most days so we are both home to look after the dogs. We do at least 2 walks each day, one in the morning and one long one in the evening. We are happy to accommodate more(or less) walks depending on your doggy’s needs. Our garden is fenced off and because we are tucked away from the road, the dogs are safe whilst outside or inside the house. Luna is a friendly dog who loves playing with other dogs, but she is also used to living with older dogs who don’t like to play that much anymore, so she will back off and leave them in peace when they indicate they don’t want to play. Our 2 boys (2 years old and 8months) are used to having dogs around and are very gentle with them. We are always careful and only let the children to interact with dogs under supervision. We are happy for dogs to be in or out of crate and they are welcome in any room of the house where they feel most comfortable.
“Maria and Vernon were great in looking after snoopy. He was a happy and energetic boy when we picked him up. Maria sent us loads of pictures throughout. Thanks for taking such good care of him.”
“Pearl was taken such good care of and Vilquees sent regular photo updates and messages. Pearl had a lovely time. Can't thank Bilquees enough. Will definitely be leaving Pearl with them again. Thank you so much x”
About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy spending time caring for pets of all kinds. I’m patient, dependable, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their owner is away. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, basic grooming via my daughters groom room, giving lots of attention, and keeping routines consistent. I understand how important pets are to their families, and I’ll care for them with kindness and responsibility. Pet care is already part of my daily routine since I care for 5 cats of my own. I’m used to feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, giving attention, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule and can provide regular check-ins, updates, and lots of love and patience for your cat while you’re away. I provide a calm, safe, and clean environment where pets can feel comfortable and stress-free. Along with caring for my 5 cats, I also care for my elderly dog who takes 2 medications daily, so I’m familiar with senior pet care, routines, and giving medications responsibly. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I take time to help them feel safe and comfortable at their own pace. I always make sure food, water, litter boxes, and living spaces stay clean and well maintained, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own.
“Clare looked after our dogs, Rocco and Lenny, for two weeks while we were away, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. From the very beginning, Clare took the time to really understand both dogs, their personalities, routines, and individual needs, which immediately gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear throughout their stay that she genuinely bonded with them and treated them with so much care and attention. We really appreciated her thoughtful approach and the reassurance of knowing they were in such capable hands while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Clare to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter, and we will definitely be using her services again the next time we travel.”

“Laura is fantastic! She looked after my four cats for the first time over three days and I completely trusted her to give them the best care. She took time to learn everything she needed to know (and my cats are a complex bunch!), and then gave me detailed up dates and plenty of pictures at every visit. She also took time to clean up various messes that my furry friends left. I’d happily recommend her to look after any pet and will definitely book her again in future (if she dares to come back!). Thank you, Laura 😊”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Daria provided for my cat. From the start, they were professional, kind, and clearly experienced with animals. Sent regular updates with photos, and made sure everything was just right while I was away. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pet and a tidy home. I highly recommend Daria to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate. Will definitely book again!”

I've looked after puppies and senior pooches, and I have experience with training dogs in the house and on walks. I take care of dogs full time, including sitting, boarding and walking. I'm available to walk dogs at all times of day, and live with my boyfriend who often helps. I have a gated garden with no children or other pets, so the dogs will have free roam. I live next to Cannon Hill Park for the dogs to have more of a run around.
“Courteney provided us with an absolutely outstanding service. We are so pleased with her conduct throughout the process, from the initial meeting to the last key drop off. She provided us with constant updates which allowed us to really relax during our time away knowing that our cat was in safe hands. ”
“Extremely reliable and kind to both the pet and the pet parents. Updates are done in a timely and precise manner. A true pleasure collaborating with her. We were able to enjoy a stress-free holiday.”
About: I have many years experience handling and looking after cats. I am confident in administering meds if required and will be lead by owners regarding feeding habits, indoor and outdoor does and don'ts.
“Jenny looked after our cat Meg for a week while we were away on holiday. She's an older cat and somewhat stuck in her ways which makes her a bit shy with new people, but she was very patient and tried to bring her out of her shell (even through the odd hiss - sorry about that Jenny!). We had daily updates with photos and lots of communication which made us very reassured that she was ok and being well looked after which in turn made us able to enjoy our holiday so much more. We'd definitely use her again and would recommend to anyone.”
“Macey provides a superb service. Leaving your loved ones in the hands of others is very difficult. So one relies upon competency, care and professionalism. Macey’s care of our two little frenchies whilst we were away for the weekend embodied all these things and more. She was prompt, supplied photos and the dogs loved her. We’ll definitely call upon her again!”
“Thank you so much for kindness and giving up your Christmas to look after my 3 wayward fur babies. I am truly grateful and you did the most fantastic job. I will definitely use you again. Once again thank you so much xx”

“Tanvi was very professional liaising all the time, before and during her drop-in home visit with photos to ease my worries. My 6yr old Cockapoo Teddy is very anxious and not good with strangers, but he gelled well with Tanvi. The afternoon was a success and I am confident to leave Teddy in her capable hands for another visit really soon. I would highly recommend Tanvi to any dog owners with similar worries about leaving their dog.”

“Nita was so bubbly and welcoming when I took Leo to her - she immediately put my mind at rest. Her little dog was part of the welcome too. She was very understanding about unavoidable changes to the schedule and very flexible. Leo was very happy when I picked him up and tired out for the rest of the evening.”
“Milos second time with Nicole & he had a really good time. Milo was well looked after and has seemed to have warmed up to Nicole and her family. Nicole kept to his routine and let me know how he was doing during the day.”

“Rudy has been going to Kevin & Denise for a while whenever we need him taken care of for the day. This must be his sixth or seventh visit and he loves it. We feel totally at ease, get plenty of updates thought the day and have peace of mind knowing Rudy will be well loved. Thanks again.”
“I was really happy with the care Jessica provided for Bam-Bam! He seemed to have had a great time—he played with Milo, went for walks, and even drank water, which is a big win for us! It was such a comfort knowing he was in safe hands and enjoying himself. Jessica gave updates and clearly made him feel at home. I’ve already rebooked for tomorrow—that’s how much we trust her. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve always had a love for dogs and plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. A few years ago, I spent a couple of years dog sitting, looking after dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, which helped me build confidence and understanding in their individual needs. Alongside this, I’ve had family dogs for over 12 years, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my everyday life. From feeding routines and walks to playtime, companionship, and understanding their behaviour, I’m experienced in providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment for every dog in my care. At Lisa’s Dog Care, I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and truly at home. Lisa’s Dog Care is my full-time commitment, allowing me to provide dedicated, hands-on care throughout the entire day. My routine is fully centred around the dogs in my care, ensuring they receive constant attention, supervision, and companionship. Each day begins with morning routines including feeding, walks, and playtime, setting a calm and happy tone. Throughout the day, I am always present, providing one-to-one attention, regular exercise, and plenty of interaction, adapting to each dog’s individual needs and routine. Afternoons and evenings continue with walks, feeding, and relaxation time, making sure every dog feels comfortable and settled. For overnight stays, I am on hand at all times to ensure dogs feel safe, secure, and truly at home. As this is my full-time role, dogs are never left unattended, and their wellbeing, happiness, and safety are always my top priority. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities at Lisa’s Dog Care. I provide a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can play, explore, and enjoy fresh air safely at all times. Inside, dogs are cared for in a calm, home-from-home setting where they can relax and feel comfortable. I carefully manage introductions and interactions to ensure all dogs get along happily. I also have my friendly Chow Chow, BooBooBear, who loves the company of other dogs and helps create a welcoming, social environment for your fur baby. Whether your dog enjoys playtime or prefers a quieter companion, I make sure every dog feels safe, settled, and cared for like part of the family.
About: I have an extensive history of working with dogs. I have owned working therapy dogs and have been working at a dog sanctuary for the past 2 years, handling dogs from all walks of life and all sizes. Dogs give so much love voluntarily and deserve that back. I insist dogs are walked for a good few mikes daily unless medically incapable. I will ensure they are fed to your specification and will follow any behavioural instructions you may have in place to ensure continuity. I am open to any questions you may have or to alleviate any concerns you may have. I am freely available for any pet care needs all I ask is for the advanced notice stated. I also have to collect my son from school on a Wednesday and every other Friday so the dog would need to be ok for a short period of time alone. I have a gated garden and a big field and woods near by. I can crate your dog if required. I am flexible and will work around your needs. If boarding, then dog/cat would need to be dropped and collected from my property.
About: A genuine dog lover, I have a Cockapoo of my own. We enjoy morning, afternoon and evening walks. Play in the park and also offer a large garden for your dog to play and run around in should you need to leave him/her in a loving home while you are away. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible. I like to take a morning walk with the dog for around an hour before I return home to start my work day. With lots of short breaks to spend sometime together playing and of course the all important cuddle time :) This is followed by a short walk during lunch hours around 30min before heading back to work and a late afternoon or evening walking walk. Your dog will be cared for as I do for my own dog. Any special requirements would be adhered to as per your direction to ensure your furry friend comfortable with least disruption to their routine.

About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy spending time caring for pets of all kinds. I’m patient, dependable, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their owner is away. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, basic grooming via my daughters groom room, giving lots of attention, and keeping routines consistent. I understand how important pets are to their families, and I’ll care for them with kindness and responsibility. Pet care is already part of my daily routine since I care for 5 cats of my own. I’m used to feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, giving attention, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule and can provide regular check-ins, updates, and lots of love and patience for your cat while you’re away. I provide a calm, safe, and clean environment where pets can feel comfortable and stress-free. Along with caring for my 5 cats, I also care for my elderly dog who takes 2 medications daily, so I’m familiar with senior pet care, routines, and giving medications responsibly. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I take time to help them feel safe and comfortable at their own pace. I always make sure food, water, litter boxes, and living spaces stay clean and well maintained, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my hands-on experience as a dedicated pet mom to my energetic dog, Milo. Caring for him has taught me patience, understanding, and the joy of building a bond with a furry friend. I’ve also had the privilege of looking after the dogs of family and friends, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether it’s entertaining playful puppies or providing gentle care for seniors, I treat every dog as if they were my own—offering love, attention, and a safe, happy environment. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I work from home. Being active, I enjoy taking long walks, which means your dog will get plenty of exercise and fresh air. I’m also happy to adapt to your dog’s specific routine, whether it’s their feeding schedule, playtime preferences, or cuddling on the couch. My flexible lifestyle ensures your pet will feel cared for and comfortable while you’re away. In my home, I ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and part of the family. I live in a cozy apartment surrounded by greenery and parks, perfect for regular walks and outdoor adventures. I share my home with Milo, my friendly German Pinscher, so I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand to ensure everyone gets along comfortably
About: I’ve had dogs since I was around 15 and plenty of experience with different breeds and ages including chihuahua puppies, senior staffies and rescue bulldogs. I can no longer have dogs full time myself so I would love to be able to care/love for others. I drive which means I am able to travel to your pets as and when needed. I am currently not working and my child goes to nursery 3 days a week so I have plenty of time spare to spend with the animals I care for. I live in a duplex (a house in a low rise block) with 2 large balconies and a communal garden. I live right on the water where lots of people walk their dogs and a crate available if needed.

I have a secure garden and have a baby gate In front of my front door. Dogs have the run of the house, but tend to follow me and lay next to my desk whilst I work, which leads to the back garden, which I have full view over from my desk

I have a level 2 AIM qualification award in Canine Care and Welfare. I currently work part time, 3 evenings a week so I am around all day and my partner works during the day and then is around all evening. We switch over with the care of children and dogs. Weekends we tend to go for long wood walks, weekdays we tend to stick to our local area either road walk or behind us we have a massive field and woods. We have a fenced garden with easy access from our kitchen doors. We have a 1 year old samoyed who loves to play and go for walks. She will benefit a lot having lots of friends to play with.
About: I have a Level 2 Diploma in Animal Management and I’m currently completing work experience at a doggy day care, where I help supervise group play, assist with feeding, cleaning, and making sure dogs are safe and comfortable. I’ve worked with a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including energetic puppies and more nervous dogs. At the moment, I offer dog walking and always make sure each dog gets the right amount of exercise, attention, and care. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely love being around animals. I’m currently doing work experience at a doggy day care, but I have flexible availability for dog walking. I’m available most weekends. I’m happy to discuss specific times to find something that works best for you and your dog’s routine. Your dog’s safety is always my top priority. Through my day care experience, I’ve learned how to read dog body language, manage different temperaments, and keep dogs safe during walks and interactions. I always use secure leads, avoid unsafe areas, and make sure dogs are comfortable and well cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own and keep owners updated for peace of mind.

“Laura and Kevin are very kind, caring and attentive dog boarders. My 2 dogs stayed with them for 11 nights and I received updates at minimum twice daily everyday and any questions raised were responded to quickly. They are both willing to go the extra mile to make sure the dogs the comfortable e.g. bathing my dog with warm water, cos it was cold, when he rolled himself in fox poo. Laura will always ask before doing anything different with the dogs e.g. introducing them to new people or dogs. I 100% recommend Laura and Kevin!!”
“I’m so grateful to have found Daria and to have someone I completely trust with my dog, Archie. From the moment we met, she put me at ease, she really understands dogs and knew exactly how to help Archie feel comfortable when he was a little nervous. She kept me updated every day with lovely photos and videos, which meant so much. Archie was so happy with her; he was safe, well cared for, and clearly relaxed and content. I honestly couldn’t recommend Daria more. Thank you so much for looking after Archie—I’ll definitely be booking with you again! xx”
“What a lovely lady. We arranged a pre stay visit to see if Wilson was compatible with Wendy. He took to her straight away which set my mind at ease. He stayed with her her for three weeks with no problems. I could tell from the regular updates and photos he was enjoying his stay there. She has a great house and garden plus a park in close proximity. I highly recommend Wendy as I will be choosing her again if and when the need arises.”
“As always, milo was carefully cared for by Gabriella. She kept me updated throughout his stay and paid special attention to him as he was feeling poorly prior to drop off. He had a blast with the other dogs she was looking after, which is always lovely to see. Thanks again!”
“It was our first time leaving Bentley, so we were naturally nervous. We met Wayne and he immediately put us at ease. From his lovely clean flat, his knowledge of how to look after dogs, and his cheery personality, we felt much happier. As promised, he sent pics and pupdates, and (thankfully) Bentley behaved himself 😉 We can't recommend Wayne highly enough. Thanks Wayne, much appreciated.”
“After dropping my puppy at Nicole’s, I could tell he would be staying with a family that loves and adores dogs. Milo was so well looked after & enjoyed his time at her home 💗”
About: Hello! We are Dave and Mateja, who live in a house with a large fenced garden with our golden retriever/labrador Luna. She is our first baby who joined us nearly 6 years ago, but we have both grown up with dogs all our lives and we love looking after them, play with them and take them for long walks. Whilst new to Rover, we look after family’s and friends’ dogs part-time and have 10+ years experience of taking care of doggies big and small. I did puppy school with my first dog Nicky (maltese) over 15 years ago and have picked up experience on teaching and training dogs. We live in a house on a private road, surrounded by trees and a big park. We regularly walk the dogs in the park which we can access from our road so there is no danger of any traffic. We have lots of dog toys (well, Luna does but she is happy to share) and plenty of space for ball throwing. I am DBS checked and have pet first aid certificate, available for inspection upon request. If you’re new to Rover too, you can get £15 off your first booking with code MATEJS98402 I am currently on maternity leave and Dave works from home most days so we are both home to look after the dogs. We do at least 2 walks each day, one in the morning and one long one in the evening. We are happy to accommodate more(or less) walks depending on your doggy’s needs. Our garden is fenced off and because we are tucked away from the road, the dogs are safe whilst outside or inside the house. Luna is a friendly dog who loves playing with other dogs, but she is also used to living with older dogs who don’t like to play that much anymore, so she will back off and leave them in peace when they indicate they don’t want to play. Our 2 boys (2 years old and 8months) are used to having dogs around and are very gentle with them. We are always careful and only let the children to interact with dogs under supervision. We are happy for dogs to be in or out of crate and they are welcome in any room of the house where they feel most comfortable.

About: My partner and I have taken care of dogs for the majority of our lives. From walking and training our family dogs growing up and into our first dog together, to looking after others pets whilst they have gone away. This is a dog household and will love them dearly for the time they are with here. We are happy to help with any training needs too and hope to be the fun place your dog can visit! We are always going on weekend adventures and would be great for our dog to have a companion. I’m currently available Fridays to Sundays to help anyone in need of a dog walker or somewhere fun for your dog to go on their holiday whilst you may go on yours. I have a fenced garden with plenty of space, and i have another dog so would be nice for him to have some company too. I can only accept female who have been spayed unfortunately for boarding at this time.
“After finding Katrina and her family as an emergency for our wedding in September 2024 as we had been let down last min, there was no doubt in our mind that we was sending our pups back to her for our honeymoon. Our pups love it with her as you can see from the photos, constant updates and reassurance and I couldn’t recommend her enough. 5 star from us, I hope she never stops the business as would be hard to find someone as amazing as her to have our pups. :)”
“Absolutely pleased with the service from Nasselem. She gave frequent updates and Baxter was very happy. He enjoyed himself with Blue and didnt want come home. I would definitely recommend.”
“Elisa was fantastic. We trusted her with our beloved Twix whilst we were away on holiday. She sent regular updates and pictures. We could tell from the pictures Twix was having a great time and being looked after. Daily walks and plenty of activity with Elsie’s own dog. We’re really pleased we went with Elisa and the service she’s provided. Would recommend and use again.”
“My little boy Reggie stayed recently with Nicole and her family. Reggie had a meet and greet and got on fantastic with her doggie so we was very happy to book in with her. Will definitely be booking with Nicole again, as Reggie had a lovely overnight stay ?”
“Suraj looked after Lucky over a long weekend and I couldn’t be happier! I received regular updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease. Lucky clearly felt right at home - he was relaxed, happy, and well cared for throughout. Suraj was incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and clearly has a real love for dogs. I will not hesitate to book again. Highly recommended!”
“Freddy stayed over night with Lilly and was well taken care of and made very welcome in her home. This was the second time that Freddy has stayed with Lilly. We received regular updates and photos, it was lovely to see Freddy relaxed and enjoying himself. Thank you Lilly for taking such good care of Freddy and giving him lots of love.”
