“Amazing stay for our dog Ralph! Miriam and her partner are incredible. Gorgeous home and setting with the added bonus of their dog Milo, a perfect companion for Ralph. Leaving Ralph as a family would usually make us feel guilty but seeing him so happy with beautiful photos and videos from Miriam made us feel so relaxed and happy. Ralph actually had a luxury weekend break, made friends and enjoyed a bubble bath 🥰🙏🏼 Could not be happier that we found Miriam as she just made everything so easy and chilled even down to us needing an extra night stay at a last minute request. Everything was so simple and easy. So Grateful 🙏🏼 Ralph will be back very soon as he misses Milo 🐶”
“Our Springer had a wonderful weekend with Chloe. He came home very relaxed and happy. She really looked after him with great walks, good company and he enjoyed being with her and her family. They treated him like one of the family. Chloe is very honest, her house is lovely, clean and tidy and she has a garden. Highly recommend.”
About: I have extensive hands-on experience working with dogs through my previous professional dog handling background, which has given me confidence in caring for a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I am comfortable looking after energetic puppies, larger breeds, and older dogs who may need a gentler pace and extra patience. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every dog, I treat each one as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well looked after while in my care. I pride myself on being reliable, calm, and attentive to every pet’s individual needs. Due to Army commitments, my standard availability is weekends. However, with sufficient notice, I can often accommodate weekday bookings. My day typically starts early with a morning walk from 6:00am, followed by regular care and supervision throughout the day. Dogs in my care receive a lunchtime walk, an evening walk, and plenty of attention in between, with additional toilet breaks, garden time, and play sessions provided whenever needed. I tailor each dog’s routine to suit their individual needs, ensuring they feel comfortable, well-exercised, and cared for throughout their stay. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I live in an enclosed area with a small fenced garden for safe outdoor time and toilet breaks, and I also have easy access to the nearby old airfield for longer walks and exercise. Every dog in my care is treated like family and looked after in a safe, loving environment.
“Excellent sitter Karen and Mark are truly fabulous and so attentive to Coco, she has a really good time playing with Alfie and Jake. Highly recommend as always. Coco has stayed numerous times with Karen and loves it. Do not hesitate to book this sitter.”
“George was an absolute pleasure to deal with and I would highly recommend boarding at his home. He was super responsive and very accommodating and mindful of Indy's requirements as a 12 year old greyhound. We did an intro with George's dog Daisy prior to Indy's stay, to make sure they got on and well, they had a blast - Daisy is a delightful and very happy pooch. George sent through regular updates and some lovely photos that were taken on a visit to a pumpkin patch. Indy was very much treated as part of the family and clearly had a wonderful time. I will be booking another stay soon!”
“Steven was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I recieved lots of photos and regular updates. He also went above and beyond to make sure Indy felt at home and had a wonderful stay, with lots of walks and pampering! I would highly recommend and will certainly be rebooking with Steven again.”
“Chiara was fantastic with our nervous boy, she had a great understanding of how to make him feel comfortable and relaxed, looked after him with fireworks and did everything she could to make him feel at home. Could not recommend enough!”
“Thank you Yhozmin & Uli for looking after Wilson. The picture you sent across showed he had a great time with you and the family. I would recommend the service to all!”
“Charlotte and her family made our boy so welcome, looked after him so well and he came home a very happy boy after a lovely stay with them. Great communication and it was really helpful to have a meet and greet before the stay. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Nadja was absolutely AMAZING!!! Bruce was super well looked after and received lots of love and cuddles on top of all his needs being fulfilled. She sent us pictures and updates every evening and honestly, I was worried Bruce will not want to go back home with us😂 He had the best time and is now bestie with Nadja’s spaniel Rolo🥲 He’ll be staying with them again in couple of weeks and i’m sure that will not be the last time!! Thank you so much Nadja🥰🙏🏻”
“It is very difficult to quantify how incredible and sweet Andreia and her beautiful family are. I could talk about how wonderful she was with our “less than easy” Spaniel, but there are so many other aspects of Andreia that makes her quite special. We had numerous complications with our holiday plans including a very last minute postponement as a result of American bombing in the Middle East. Andreia took it all in her stride. In summary, I would dare to suggest that if you are lucky enough to have Andreia take care of your dog, you can count yourself lucky.”
About: I’ve had 4 dogs and 2 cats in my lifetime as pets and I have volunteered at a rescue center and pet sat for neighbors and friends for over a decade. I have experience with timid and shy animals, helping them find their comfort and confidence. I am nurturing and have a flexible work schedule that allows me to work from home the majority of the week. I’m currently working a 9-5 job that is mostly from home. I stop in on the morning visits around 7-8am to give breakfast, then again for a midday check in or walk on my lunch break. I then go around when I’m off work, by 6 or 7 pm to serve dinner and a nightly walk or play session. This is my standard routine, but is tailored for each client during the meet and greet. I have a fenced in garden that is huge and clear for your pet to run around and play. My child is very used to cats and dogs, as she has visited with my mums dogs and is used to having pets we take care of come around. We have places in the house for your pets dog bed or crate, so they have their own space, but are happy for them to be on the furniture as well.
“Lisa and her family are amazing. Our girls had the best time. They loved their little holiday and it was so nice leaving them and knowing they were happy. Thank you Lisa!”
“It was a tough decision for us not to take Razz along for our 5 weeks abroad - but it was the right one. Jerry, Amy, their lovely kids and Rex showed her a brilliant time. She even accompanied them on their own holidays. She was well loved and cared for with exciting days. We got regular updates and pictures which put our mind to rest. We will book with them again in an instant and Razz will be thrilled to come back to play 🐕”
“Cathy is a lovely, warm, A* boarder. I was able to enjoy my time away knowing that my dog was getting all the care and love he's used to. He had a great stay with her and her own 2 adorable dogs. Would recommend her wholeheartedly and will definitely be booking again.”
“We’re very pleased with our little dog’s stay with Monika and her family. He was treated with great care and attention . She sent us some lovely pictures while we were away. When we picked him up it was clear he’d had a very happy time and we would highly recommend Monika.”

“El looked after Savannah for four days while we were away. She arrived on time on the day we left which was reassuring that she would be there to look after Savannah. I got daily updates with photo's and videos. When I got back Savannah had actually put on weight, probably due to the breakfasts in bed when she was too lazy to negotiate the stairs. The plants were watered as requested. I recommend El for house sitting.”
“Our new cat Ziggy seems to have taken to Lizzie just as well as our two boys. Also thanks Lizzie for going back to do their evening feed when our travel delays resulted in our getting home much later than expected.”
“Chelsea was absolutely amazing, kept me informed throughout my entire holiday, came back to happy cats and clean house. She also administered meds twice a day without any issues. Highly recommended and I will definitely book Chelsea again from now on when I travel. Thank you Chelsea Xx”
“Liam has been great with my cats. Although meeting them wasn't easy as they're both really shy, he took care of them and he sent me feedback everyday putting my mind at ease. I have since booked Liam twice again, hopefully at some point my kitties will learn not to be shy with him.”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about this lovely, caring couple and the amazing care they provide for Zizel. From the moment I found them, I knew Zizel was in the best possible hands, in a safe environment and a great space. I have booked them before and I already knew how consistently punctual, responsive, and organised they are. I never worry about Zizel when I’m away. You can see how much they adore animals in every hug, treat, and playful moment. Zizel lights up when we arrive at their place! Their home and garden are clean, secure, and welcoming. I felt completely at ease leaving Zizel in their care. They kept me updated with photos and by filling the Rover Card with Zizel’s walks, meals, and mood. It truly feels like I’m right there with her every time. Even though my Zizel is older and not as energised anymore, I found her playing with Milo and enjoying her time. The guys are always attentive to Zizel’s safety, health considerations, and any special instructions. I trust them completely. I’d recommend them to everyone If you’re looking for a dog sitter who treats your pup like family, goes above and beyond, and makes your life easier, these are the sitters you want.They make your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being their top priorities, and it shows in every detail. Thank you guys!”
“Bruno had a wonderful time with Chloe! Our 3-year-old Boxer (who very much still thinks he's a puppy) was in great hands. She clearly put in a lot of effort — a long, happy walk and plenty of socialising with other dogs made for one very content boy. He came home absolutely exhausted and is now snoring away in his bed, which is the best sign of a great day out. We really appreciate the care and attention Chloe gave him. Highly recommended! 🐾”

Whether it’s extra playtime or gentle care, I adapt to each pet’s needs to keep tails wagging and owners worry-free. We work from home so there is always someone around for a lap to sit on. Our dog gets a quick walk before work in the mornings then generally we work a longer one into the afternoon. We are often at home or we take our dog out with us to the forest or beach. I have a fenced off garden and stair gate on the kitchen door to stop any dogs escaping out the front door. We are a dogs on furniture kind of home and you will often find ours on our lap!
“Dexter can be quite anxious but Sally was very understanding and cared for him like he was her own. We were so reassured by Sally and it was lovely to get regular pictures and updates throughout the day. Great experience and we will definitely rebook in the future.”
“Yhozmin and her family were amazing. Cleo was extremely well cared for and they kept us updated with lots of photos. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Cleo with Yhozmin again.”

About: Welcome to my Rover profile 🐶🐾 If you're looking for a reliable, experienced pet sitter who genuinely loves animals, I’d be delighted to help take care of your pets and home while you're away. Below is more information on my experience. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me directly. With 25 years' experience caring for animals, including 4 years' volunteering in a rescue shelter, I've developed a deep passion for animals of all kinds. In rescue, I had the pleasure of walking multiple dogs on each visit and caring for a variety of animals. I regularly look after the pets of my neighbours and friends which has given me the opportunity to build trusting relationships with many furry companions. I've been a house sitter for 5 years and had the privilege of working with wonderful clients through Rover. I’ve built lasting connections with pet owners who trust me to look after their homes and pets, as if they were my own. I recently lost my own dog of 15 years, who was an adorable rescue staffy called Teddy from Battersea. I have experience with most breeds and comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages and temperaments, including anxious or reactive dogs. I always recommend a meet and greet before booking, especially for dogs with specific needs or triggers, to make sure it’s a good fit and your dog feels safe and settled. Please do let me know in advance about any reactivity, routines, medical needs or behavioural quirks, the more I know, the better care I can provide. Thank you :) I am currently working from home (Mon-Fri), and flexible with work and meetings. For requests over 12 miles, a small fee will be charged to cover my petrol costs. Please don’t hesitate to drop me a message if you have any questions and would like to know more. I live in Saffron Walden and have a long garden in the countryside, with plenty of nearby fields, which I love to walk in. I ensure safety of pets by: • using secure leads • walking in safe areas • communicating with owners regularly • learning the commands your dog responds to • understanding your dog’s temperament • if there are any issues (I.e. not good around other dogs, people etc) • understanding what your dog enjoys (swimming in a lake) and finally, by building a great relationship with the pets and owners.

About: I’m a huge animal lover and currently own a very friendly 6-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel as well as two rabbits, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your pets. I have previous experience dog, cat and rabbit sitting for family and friends and always treat every animal as if they were my own. I’ve always had a deep compassion for animals, and their wellbeing is always my top priority. My dog is extremely gentle and friendly with both dogs and rabbits, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I also understand how reassuring updates are for owners, so I always send plenty of photos and messages while you’re away. I’m currently studying Digital Marketing at university, which has helped me become organised, reliable and communicative. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets and make them feel safe, loved and happy while you’re away 🐾 I currently work part-time alongside studying Digital Marketing at university, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets.

I’m available for walks, drop-ins and pet sitting throughout the week and weekends, and I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, care and exercise. I have a very friendly 6-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who gets along well with both dogs and rabbits. For safety and comfort, I only accept dogs that are friendly with other dogs. My own rabbits live outside in their own large secure fenced area, completely separate from visiting pets. If I care for rabbits in my home, they will always stay safely indoors. My dog is very gentle with rabbits, but if a rabbit is nervous or prefers space, I’m able to keep them fully separated to make sure they feel safe and comfortable at all times. Dogs in my care will receive at least two walks a day, lots of attention, playtime and regular photo updates for owners while they’re away 🐾

About: Hello! My name is Elisa and I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by them and have had pets in my life since the day I was born. Over the years, I’ve cared for many different animals and breeds. I’ve had Dachshunds, a German Shepherd, Yorkshire Terriers, a Pinscher, a French Bulldog, and mixed-breed dogs as well. I currently have a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, who is a big part of my life. Because of this experience, I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve also had other pets growing up, including a mixed-breed cat and even a rabbit, which gave me experience caring for different types of animals and understanding their unique needs and behaviours. Caring for animals has always come very naturally to me. I truly enjoy spending time with them, going for walks, playing, and making sure they feel safe, calm, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I always try to respect their habits and make them feel as comfortable as possible. My goal is for your pet to feel relaxed and well cared for while you have peace of mind. I would be very happy to look after your pet as if they were part of my own family. I work part-time and I’m also studying, which means I have a structured but flexible routine. I spend a lot of time at home and can dedicate attention, care and playtime to the pets I look after during the week and weekends. I provide a calm and safe home environment for pets. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and routine, making sure they feel comfortable, supervised and well cared for at all times. I treat every pet with patience, kindness and responsibility.

About: I’ve looked after dogs my entire life, I’ve always taken on a large part of the responsibility with my dogs including walking, feeding, grooming, and training them. I have a lot of availability throughout the week (including weekends). I would love to be able to help out some busy pet owners in my spare time by doing something I’ve always enjoyed. I’d like to look after the pet in the same manor as their owner does and make sure they’re well cared for, always have fresh water, and are let out regularly.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 10, two Hungarian vizlas and my family has two very sassy sausages! have looked after older dogs, and also younger, I looked after two puppy pointers for two weeks so I understand the challenges that come with puppies. I’m a photographer and therefore love to take my camera out to get some great shots of the dogs in action! I work part time so have plenty of free weekdays, mornings work best. Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays are completely free days, and the occasional weekend are free. I live in a very secure house in elsenham with a fenced garden, being in Elsenham means there’s lots of lovely dog walking areas as well which I love. I work remotely Monday to Wednesday and have Thursday and Friday off so am quite flexible! I sometimes head to Devon so would need at least a couple of days notice if dog care needed. I have a fenced garden so your dog will be safe at all times. I work downstairs so your dog will have company at all times as well :)
