“Harriet sat our dog for a few days and we were very happy with her. She provided a lot of updates, asked the right questions and bonded with Rocco immediately. Rocco was happy and relaxed when we came back which is exactly what we needed! Thanks, Harriet!”


“Greg is an absolutely amazing puppy sitter! He is incredibly flexible, communicates brilliantly, and truly cares for the dogs he looks after. Our puppy feels comfortable and happy with him, and I always have complete peace of mind knowing she is in great hands. Highly recommend!”


“Utterly amazing. A natural with little Albus and just generally a star. Almost don’t want to leave a review as everyone will want her. Can’t recommend highly enough- great updates and keeping in touch. Thank you Erin.”


“I cannot recommend Ayna enough! She was truly amazing with our 11-week-old Labrador puppy. We loved receiving regular updates and adorable photos, which clearly showed our puppy was having the time of her life. It was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable she was, and honestly, we think she didn't want her to leave! We'll definitely be using Ayna again in the future. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and communicative to look after your dog, look no further!”


“Mallory has been an excellent sitter sending updates messages and photos throughout our trip away. Really informative and helpful and lovely with our dog.”


“Alycia was so wonderful with our two vizslas, one young and one senior. She gave us updates and pictures, and took them for plenty of walks. She tried to run with Ruth (which is great!) but Ruth was a little too naughty/jumpy. Maybe next time, as Ruth’s energy is never ending! The flat was very clean, and Alycia seems very responsible and trust worthy. We will definitely work with her again!”


“Hannah was an absolute ANGEL and saved me and my pups by being a last minute replacement when I got stuck overseas sick for a few extra days and my sitter couldn't extend. She was so sweet and willing to be flexible when I was dealing with the madness of life on multiple occasions over the past few months. She made the dog sitter handoff stress and worry free. Will 100% use her again. Took great care of my girls and my cottage, especially since one has special needs. You won't regret using Hannah with your pet or house sitting needs.”


“Riya has house sat our 5 month old puppy four times recently. She has always met his needs with play/walks/food/enrichment toys. Woody is happy to see her. She updates us through the day with pictures.”


“Rosie was great with Kylo. They enjoyed a little walk together and plenty of cuddles in the sofa! She kept us updated throughout the sit which was great - would definitely rebook her!”


“It was first time that Anne-Lise and Mike looked after our dog Milo, and we were very comfortable having seen the excellent reviews on Rover. They looked after Milo extremely well, with lots of walks and attention. We received lots of photos and updates and Milo was clearly very happy. We’d highly recommend them to others - and would be happy to ask them to come back. Thanks so much…!”


About: I’ve looked after dogs since I was 10 whether that be my own dog a family dogs neighbours dogs washing them bathing them walking and feeding them and grooming them I am currently not working due to moving up this way recently so have full availability to come and dog sit play with your pets Monday to Friday anytime needed I have a contained garden and a friendly little dog who loves walks and being outside I can easily get a dog in a create if that is what’s needed

About: I’ve had the joy of caring for a variety of pets over the years. My parents had a cat, and I was responsible for her daily care. Now, I have a Japanese Akita whom I’ve raised from puppyhood. We also completed a professional training course together. In addition to my own pets, I’ve looked after other dogs, including a Jack Russell and an Airedale Terrier, as well as Sphynx cats. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m currently enrolled in online studies, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I plan my days around pet care and love spending my time with animals. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. I always walk one dog at a time and always on a leash to ensure full control. I carry fresh water on every walk, especially in warm weather, and always use biodegradable waste bags. With years of hands-on experience, I understand how important a calm, clean, and secure environment is. Whether in my home or the pet owner's, I maintain a routine that promotes comfort, trust, and wellbeing for every animal in my care.

About: I’ve been lucky enough to grow up with lots of dogs! From Golden Retrievers, to Labrador’s to German Shepherds and Greyhounds I’ve had my fair share of looking after, walking and most importantly being a companion to dogs, and I’ve loved every second! I am currently training to be a clinical psychologist in the NHS and my wife is also a NHS worker. One of us are often home as I work from home some days and study on Friday's and over the weekends, meaning I’m often around for when you need me! I have access to a car which means I can get to your beloved pet in the evenings on the days I am working! My wife and I have a pet ourself so know safety is essential! We have a ground floor flat and are within walking distance to a green area and park. We have a spare bedroom which is a bit quieter if your pet likes some alone time, and a cat at home who loves company!

“Elliot stepped in at the last minute with overnight house sitting, he was brilliant with our cat and dog and super helpful, I definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a dog / cat sitter in the Guildford area 😊”


About: I’m Pet First Aid trained and have been around animals my whole life. I’ve raised both cats and dogs since childhood, and for the past 18 months, my wife and I have been raising our chocolate Labrador, Bella. I know firsthand how important it is to find someone who will care for your dog as if they were their own. Your dog’s safety, wellbeing and happiness are my top priorities. I’m calm, patient and empathetic with all animals, and I understand how to adapt to their moods, needs and energy levels. Whether your dog is excitable, anxious or in training, I’ll tailor my approach to suit them. I’m also happy to continue any training routines you have in place. I pay attention to the small but important things like the weather, how much rest your dog has had, and whether they’re feeling bored, energetic or unsure. I adjust how I interact with them to make sure they feel safe and supported. If any issues arise, I stay calm and make sensible decisions with your dog’s best interests at heart. Whether you’re at work or out enjoying your day, you can relax knowing your dog is in safe, caring and capable hands. I’ve recently been impacted by redundancy, so am reasonably flexible as to when I can be booked. If I’m sitting for or visiting your dog, they will have my full focus, I won’t be working or leaving them unattended. I’m not looking to do this to make money, but to keep myself and my brain active and spend as much time as possible with the best creatures on earth. If visiting in your home, I would treat it with the utmost respect. Fully able to play with your dog in the garden if you have one and if not, happy to take them on a long or short walk as needed. If I’m feeding a dog I will make sure they have had the right break before and after exercise to lower the risk of bloat. They’ll always have fresh water topped up and will be in the right temperature to be safe and comfortable.
