“Maximus was looked after beautifully. He was kept busy and was very happy. Would highly recommend Ross and his lovely wife. Will definitely use again as Max enjoyed his stay!”
“Based on customers reviews , I decided to choose Allison to look after our little Twigz , a Cavapoo , 19 months old , whilst I was on a 10 day holiday!! Her love for Twigz, shown at the meet/greet was just way beyond compared and their bond invigorated, not just with Allison, but her entire family , who are genuine dog lovers. The frequent videos, updates and Twigz's welfare, was sent to me, on daily basis and without a shadow of doubt, our Twigz was safe, most loved and extremely happy. I have now given Allison the title "Twigz's 2nd Mum" and for sure , she'll be the only one, to take care of my baby girl Twigz!! Keep up the good work Allison/ family.”
“Lorena is very flexible and was able yo accommodate a last minte boarding request. She has a huge garden and great facilities for dogs to run around and play. It looked like our energetic cocker spaniel puppy had a great time playing with all the other dogs. I would not hesitate to book Lorena again!”
“Alicia, her own cocker spaniel Enzo and Alicia’s husband took great care about Noah. From the first meet and greet moment I was 100% sure that Noah will stay as in “home away from home” - he could play with Enzo, observe situation in their garden, walk to park, get a nap near cooling fan, sleep in a bed, get his meals on time and be reassured by Alicia’s lovely family that he is in safe hands. Absolutely satisfied with this dog sitter and hope to see her again soon. Highly recommend.”

“Rocky just had a wonderful 5 days with Aneeka and came back a very happy boy. Aneeka constantly kept us up to date with photos & videos, so we had complete peace of mind that Rocky was in great hands and getting spoilt rotten! We have already re-booked Aneeka for next month, so that tells you all you need to know. Highly recommended.”
“Salemne was a great host for our dog, Kiyo. We received many photo updates of Kiyo playing, going for walkies and during his snack time which we really appreciated. Would definitely recommend Salemne to other doggy parents!”
“Lauren looked after Mia while we were away. She was very friendly, caring and looked after Mia well. She constantly updated us, and sent loads of pictures and videos. Mia loved being with Lauren and looked very happy after her stay. I Highly recommend Lauren”
“Natalie was great with Hudson. He's a nervous soul and she adapted to fit in with him. He was very relaxed with her. Her communication was great and she sent some lovely pics.”
“Sharon looked after my elderly dog, who has a few special needs, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the smooth pick-up and drop-off to the genuine care and attention she gave throughout, everything was handled wonderfully. It’s never easy leaving an older dog in someone else’s care, but Sharon gave me complete peace of mind. I could tell my dog was treated with kindness, patience, and affection. I can’t recommend her highly enough and would happily trust her again in the future. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with her again! 10/10”
“Bonnie was in the best hands ever. The moment we met Amelia, Bonnie was relaxed calm comfortable and fell asleep on Amelia's sofa. Bonnie took to Amelia straight away. Amelia kept me updated with Bonnie, and sent me pictures. On my return and me taking Bonnie home she cried. I would definitely use and recommend Amelia. Thank you so much from Bonnie and I.”

It was my first time using rover so was feeling quite nervous but I felt completely at ease once I met Drew and appreciated the detailed updates and photos.

“It was our first time leaving our 6 month old kittens and we were a little nervous, however we were very reassured when Dalo came over to meet them for the first time.

About: Ever since i was little girl, I've always loved and cared for animals and would often bring home stray cats and dogs to my parents dismay. Growing up, our family dog would be my confidante, best friend and a play date. I am that typical individual that would melt at a sight of a pet. I live in a flat on the 2nd floor. Unsuitable for a pet, but i am surrounded by friends and family who own cats, dogs and hamsters. So not short of company ; ) During lockdown, it has highlighted the importance of caring for oneself and to surround yourself with what makes you happy, which led me to request sabbatical leave for 3 months and give myself a slower pace of life. Over the years, i have pet/house sat for friends, but this is my first time to register and become an official pet/house sitter. I understand how daunting it may be to leave your cherished family member and home behind and so i just want to reassure you that they will be spoilt with love, fun, and lots of cuddles. I'm also more than happy to meet via video, in person or have a chat over the phone, as I know that this type of decision isn't an easy one to make. Look forward to hearing from you : ) I'm due to start my sabbatical leave from the 1st of September through to 1 of December 2021, therefore, i will have a lot of free time for downtime and lots of cuddles and earn a little something whilst enjoying the company of lovable pets I am often referred to as a life coach and personal security amongst friends and family : ) A genuinely warm, bubbly individual with a positive outlook. Also very reliable, trustworthy and honest person.

“Claudia and Calum were a hit with Hachi right off the bat! They were wonderful all day - sending us photos and updates - plus with the added hardship of the heat- made sure he was happy and cool throughout the day!! Thank you so much!! ☺️”
“This was Buddy’s first time with Andrew. Buddy had a great time . Andrew was very accommodating towards a late request for the care. I am definitely going to check ntact Andrew more often for Buddy . Thank you Andrew.”
“Vida and I have been so fortunate to come across Triantafyllia on Rover. Vida is such a precious little Dachshund and it is hard for both of us to let each other out sight. Trianta and Fyllia put my mind at rest. When I collected Vida, she had had a great day, full of walks and play times with her toys. I had no hesitation in making a reservation again. I can thoroughly recommend both or either Trianta or Fyllia again, but please not on the days when I need them. 😉”
“Padure was fabulous with our young staffie x. She really understood the needs of a bigger younger dog. We have previously been in touch on an urgent occasion where dog care got cancelled on the morning of and Padure was more than happy to help showing how reliable she is. Thanks again!”
About: Pavel (my partner) and I love dogs, and I’ve also discovered that I truly enjoy working with them. In the summer of 2024, a friend entrusted us with her energetic and reactive four-year-old Cockapoo. I took several courses and worked closely with a professional dog trainer to teach him to leave things on the ground, walk nicely on a leash, settle down when needed, greet guests calmly, tolerate grooming and drying, get ready for walks without stress, and stay calm at home. While we saw real progress, it was inconsistent, and after four months, Pavel and I realized we weren’t ready to live in constant stress over Yosi’s setbacks long-term. Yosi found a loving new home, and now we’ve embraced the joy of hosting dogs temporarily — giving them love, attention, and care while their owners are away. I’m currently looking for remote work, so I have plenty of time to play with and keep a pooch entertained when they’re awake and want attention. BEFORE THE STAY Before each stay, I always meet you and your pup so everyone can get comfortable. We’ll take a little walk, see where we’ll be going for strolls, and let your dog explore our home — that way, the first day feels familiar and stress-free. SETTLING IN During the first few days, I stay home full-time so your dog can settle in calmly. If your pup has separation anxiety, I’ll make sure they’re never left alone. CARE & COMFORT I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine — feeding schedule, brushing, medications, supplements, or any little rituals that make them feel secure. If your dog gets anxious around brushes, clippers, or harnesses, I can gently help them get used to those things using only positive reinforcement. WALKS, PLAY & ENRICHMENT At first, our walks are all about exploring, sniffing, and getting to know the neighborhood. Once your dog feels safe with us, I add more fun and challenge — fetch, tug games, trick training, and scent games for mental stimulation. I always walk dogs on a long leash (never a retractable one), and if you don’t have one, I’ve got one ready. When your dog reliably responds to my voice — and with your permission — we can enjoy some safe off-leash time in the park. ESSENTIALS FOR YOUR PUP 🛋 Dog sofa 🦮 5-meter leash 🚰 Water bottle for long walks 🧴 Duoxo S3 shampoo for safe clean-ups 🧩 Lick mat & Kong to help your dog relax ❄️ Cooling mat for hot days 🚗 Car hammock & safety belt (for harness use only) for comfortable rides out of town
“Bofrot had such a wonderful time with Lishan. She not only took amazing care of him but also went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable, played and rested well throughout the day. As a first-time puppy owner, I really appreciated how patient and knowledgeable she was. She shared genuinely helpful advice and updates that made me feel completely at ease. It’s so clear that she truly loves and understands dogs. I can’t recommend Lishan enough. Bofrot came home happy, relaxed and full of tail wags!”
About: Hi! I’m originally from Australia and have had dogs my entire life, growing up with both Boxers and Border Collies. I’ve been living in England for the last three years and really miss having a dog around. Friends and family have often relied on me to look after their pets, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities and energy levels. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy and loved. I’m a teacher with a flexible schedule outside of school hours and during holidays, giving me plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. Whether it’s walks, playtime, drop-ins, or simply keeping your dog company, I’ll work around their usual routine to ensure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I have a secure fenced garden and always prioritise your dog’s safety and comfort. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, medication and crate training if needed. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well looked after. 🐾
“Amazing care by Salemne! George absolutely loves her and always comes back very happy (and sleepy). Salemne treats your dog as if it’s part of her family which gives us great peace of mind while we are away. Highly recommend”
About: At the age of 8 I had my first dog, an English Springer Spaniel and continued to have dogs until just a few years ago when my last beloved passed away. I have loved and cared for dogs nearly my entire life including puppies and senior dogs. I hand reared 5 orphaned puppies and raised them to adulthood. I have vast experience with large breed dogs with mine having been German Shepherd and Dogue De Bordeaux Mastiff crosses. I have experience with administering medication and muzzle training with reward based training. If doggy day care is required, your dog will receive up to 2 walks within the day. I am at home daily and my child will be at school weekdays, so your dog will have my undivided attention. If overnight boarding is booked I will provide up to 3 walks per day, depending on the individual dogs needs. I will generally only need to be out briefly for school runs and groceries during weekdays. I have a good sized fenced garden with lawn and I live right beside a park. Do let me know what your dog likes and dislikes regarding walks. Are they reward based trained? (treat trained). Do they react to other dogs, cats or people? I live with my child and husband so it is essential that the dog is calm and not reactive if they are to be boarded in my home. Meeting a dog beforehand must be arranged.

“Alex and Mykal could not have been any more accommodating of my little dog - asking all the right questions even before the Meet & Greet (she has medical needs) where they made plenty of time for us, paired with frequent updates during her stay, I’m always reassured my dog is in very good hands. Taking great care of introductions and day-to-day care, they’re very diligent and super kind and personable pet lovers, a great fit for us! Thank you 🙏”
About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life, currently a mom of two cats and a lovely dog. From a young age, I’ve naturally taken on the role of pet caregiver, feeding, walking, bathing and even administering basic medications when needed. I’ve always been the one friends and family turn to when they need someone reliable and loving to look after their pets.

I work from home full-time, which allows me to give your pet the time, attention and companionship they need throughout the day. My routine is flexible, so I can accommodate a variety of schedules, whether that’s early morning drop-offs, midday walks, or overnight stays. I’m happy to care for pets in my own home, where I’ve created a calm and pet-friendly environment, or I can come to yours if your pet is more comfortable staying in their familiar surroundings. Since I work remotely, I’m always nearby to give cuddles, toilet breaks, and playtime whenever it’s needed. When your pet stays with me, they’ll be welcomed into a safe, loving home with a securely fenced decking, where they can explore and play freely. I have a gentle and well-socialised dog who gets along brilliantly with others, and I always introduce pets slowly and mindfully to make sure everyone feels at ease. If I’m looking after your pet in your home, I’ll bring my dog with me, and I’ll make sure both pets are comfortable, supervised, and settled. I’m happy to use crates if needed, and can follow any routine you have in place, whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, or special instructions. My dog is crate trained and very well behaved, I am experienced in training dogs tricks and good behaviour. Your pet’s wellbeing and happiness are always my top priorities.

“I highly recommend Larissa. They followed all instructions and routines flawlessly, and were incredibly accommodating when my phone connection was limited while I was away on holiday.

About: I’ve owned dogs for almost my entire life. I’ve had small dogs and big dogs. Unfortunately my beautiful Bernese mountain dog passed away early October, so currently I don’t own a pet of my own. I have experience working in a day care centre for dogs. My duties involved picking the beautiful pets up from their homes and driving them to the day care centre where I would play with them in the garden with toys and interact with them using multiple mind games, taking them for walks, using discipline only when needed, feeding and grooming them. You can always guarantee your dog will be in good company with me. I am currently working part time but on my days off I have all the time to spend out for walks and snuggled up on the sofa with your pup (I hope!) I live in a pet friendly flat that has 4 communal gardens. I also have a balcony where my dog loves to spend a lot of his time, watching the world go by.

“Maximilian is an absolutely wonderful dog walker! My dog, Leo, adores him and gets so excited every time he arrives for their walks. Maximilian is always punctual and makes sure Leo gets his full hour out and about—never cutting the time short. I love that he shares photos through the app and always provides thoughtful updates after each walk. It gives me such peace of mind knowing Leo is in such caring and reliable hands. Couldn’t recommend him more!”
About: I am an enthusiastic dog lover and have had great experiences looking after dogs within my extended family and would love to be able to do that around the local neighbourhood. I have regularly looked after family dogs, taking them for walks, feeding, playing with them and keeping them company whilst their owners are out. I live with my partner who is also a dog lover and dog owner of 7+ years, who regularly helps out. I am an active person and and go for daily walks/runs. If you entrust your dog to me, I am certain they will have fun, be safe and receive a lot of love. I am very close to a parks and work from home most days, with free evenings and weekends. If you have any specific/extra requirement I am very flexible and will be more than happy to do what I can. At weekends I am free most of the day. I would usually be around the house doing chores and exercising and will have plenty of time to feed, play, walk your dog. During the week I work from home most days, with occasional days where I cannot be at home. This is indicated in my availability. When I am working at home I can keep an eye on your pet throughout the day and can do walks, play and have food/water prepared/topped up during the mornings (7:30-9:00), lunch (12:00-13:00) and after work (after 17:30). I have a large sitting/dinning area with plenty of floor space for pets. I live on the second floor so don't have a garden, but do have lots of parks nearby. I try to create a cosy, welcoming environment with comfortable areas and whether it's games, toys, or simple relaxation, I ensure that they are engaged and happy throughout the day. I am more than happy to give regular updates on pets' activities and well-being.
About: Hello! My name is Hope, I’m 31 years old, I’m a Youth Worker, and I adore animals. My first cat, TJ, was a rescue. We had him from the age of 16 and he lived to the age of 23. He passed away a few years ago, but I believe he lived a long and happy life because we gave him the love and care he needed. When he was 16, we were told he had only had 6months to live, but he continued to live an extra 6-7 years. I miss him everyday. TJ was on medication for his heart and kidneys, and he was on specialised food. If your cat needs specialised food and/or medication, I am more than happy to provide your cat the care they require. I now have another cat, Ivy. She is 4 years old, and we rescued her from Bahrain. She is a calico, and an absolute drama queen. She is funny, sassy, vocal, ‘spicy’ yet sweet. If you have a calico, I’m sure you know what I mean! I also care for my neighbours cats, including a Bengal. He also has specific requirements (for example, extra playtime to keep him stimulated). I have always been an animal lover. Prior to having cats, I used to own dogs, fish, and rabbits. I also care for my neighbours guinea pigs and dogs when they are away. I regularly care for 4 dogs in my apartment building. This includes regular walks and sleep-overs. If you pick me as your pet-sitter, I will not only provide the basics, but I’ll spend lots of time with them to ensure they are happy and not lonely. You will receive plenty of updates via WhatsApp, including pictures and videos. Please note that I am unable to care for cats/dogs with transmissible viruses or diseases as I don’t want to risk transferring germs and sickness to other animals and to my own cat.

“Maximus was looked after beautifully. He was kept busy and was very happy. Would highly recommend Ross and his lovely wife. Will definitely use again as Max enjoyed his stay!”
“Rocky just had a wonderful 5 days with Aneeka and came back a very happy boy. Aneeka constantly kept us up to date with photos & videos, so we had complete peace of mind that Rocky was in great hands and getting spoilt rotten! We have already re-booked Aneeka for next month, so that tells you all you need to know. Highly recommended.”
“Salemne was a great host for our dog, Kiyo. We received many photo updates of Kiyo playing, going for walkies and during his snack time which we really appreciated. Would definitely recommend Salemne to other doggy parents!”
“Sharon looked after my elderly dog, who has a few special needs, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the smooth pick-up and drop-off to the genuine care and attention she gave throughout, everything was handled wonderfully. It’s never easy leaving an older dog in someone else’s care, but Sharon gave me complete peace of mind. I could tell my dog was treated with kindness, patience, and affection. I can’t recommend her highly enough and would happily trust her again in the future. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Kady was nothing short of amazing looking after our 6 month old pup, Rio, for an overnight stay. It was our first time using Rover, and she instantly put us at ease with her care, updates, and kindness. Rio came back happy, calm, and well looked after. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with her again! 10/10”

“We have just picked up two happy doggies after Rosa and Igor kindly looked after them for us day and over night. We couldn’t be more happier with the service. Nothing was too much trouble and they have been a pleasure to deal with. We also received updates of pictures throughout the day which was lovely. We will definitely be using Rosa and Igor again! 100% highly recommended.”

“Megan is a beautiful person and was absolutely wonderful and extremely patient and confident with my little old boy, Who is a rescue from BDH. We had a meet and greet and she was brilliant putting Uno and myself at ease. Megan has a lot of love and experience with dogs, as she has had her own for many years. She has a great understanding of what the dogs needs are. Uno takes medication and she was such a professional given him his tablets and she also has an understanding of dogs that have medical needs. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient, caring, intuitive, responsible, patient, caring, intuitive, responsible dog sitter. When I dropped him off, Megan already had a bowl of water ready for him. She was so welcoming and with all of my boys special needs and quirks, Megan took them all in, she was not phased at all with him. Uno has separation anxiety and Megan was able to settle him down after I left, and then within a few hours they became buddies. Megan is a very loving , peaceful, caring person and loved Uno. She took the time to get to know him and quickly understood his needs and queues for what he wanted. This is very needed for my boy to get to know him. He was with Megan for a day and I also booked for uno to go for a 4 night holiday stay with her, He loved it! He got lots of cuddles and loving and was resting together in the same room. He loves a peaceful environment and that's what he got being with her. Megan communicate with you on a regular basis. Thank you Megan for taking such good care of my boy and keeping me updated with photos and texts. I would 100% recommend Megan for your pet babies.”

About: I've been looking after my doggy and two parrots for over a decade. I make sure they exercise everyday, eat well and feel safe and loved. I do not accept and therefore do not use any force or shouting towards animals. I love physical activity and I exercise in my local gym regularly. But isn't it better to switch a gym session for a long walk with an adorable doggy? I work Friday to Monday. In the middle of the week I spend my free time going to the gym, swimming or simply spending time outdoor. I would happily switch a gym session for a long walk with a furry companion! My own pets live in a clean and safe environment. They have plenty of toys, healthy food and snacks and exercise a few times a day. My dog loves long walks. I keep him on a lead while walking in the urban area and once we reach the local forest, he runs freely.
About: At the age of 8 I had my first dog, an English Springer Spaniel and continued to have dogs until just a few years ago when my last beloved passed away. I have loved and cared for dogs nearly my entire life including puppies and senior dogs. I hand reared 5 orphaned puppies and raised them to adulthood. I have vast experience with large breed dogs with mine having been German Shepherd and Dogue De Bordeaux Mastiff crosses. I have experience with administering medication and muzzle training with reward based training. If doggy day care is required, your dog will receive up to 2 walks within the day. I am at home daily and my child will be at school weekdays, so your dog will have my undivided attention. If overnight boarding is booked I will provide up to 3 walks per day, depending on the individual dogs needs. I will generally only need to be out briefly for school runs and groceries during weekdays. I have a good sized fenced garden with lawn and I live right beside a park. Do let me know what your dog likes and dislikes regarding walks. Are they reward based trained? (treat trained). Do they react to other dogs, cats or people? I live with my child and husband so it is essential that the dog is calm and not reactive if they are to be boarded in my home. Meeting a dog beforehand must be arranged.
“I recently had the pleasure of leaving my dog, Rocky, in the care of Padure and her family while I was on holiday, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment I arrived, it was clear that Rocky was going to be treated like one of their own. Padure's warm and welcoming demeanor put me at ease, and I knew I had made the right choice. During his stay, Padure kept me updated with adorable pictures and messages, which reassured me that he was having a fantastic time. It was evident that Rocky felt comfortable and happy in their home, and that means the world to me as a pet owner. I am incredibly grateful for the care and dedication Padure and her family provided. I will definitely be reaching out to them for future boarding needs. Highly recommended!”
