“Oliver is a kind, friendly person who adores animals. He house sat for us over Xmas and New Years looking after our dog and cat. He put our minds at ease and made our trip more enjoyable knowing our fur babies were well taken care of. Highly recommend 10/10”

“Katy looked after our five month old puppy in our flat for the evening. We couldn’t recommend her more! Our puppy loved her and we had great communication beforehand and updates throughout the evening.”

“This was my very first experience using Rover, and I could not have asked for a better introduction. I feel incredibly lucky to have found Anita – she was communicative, thoughtful, and truly a godsend. I originally booked her to house sit for my new kitten, but when an unexpected emergency came up and I had to take my mother to the ER, Anita stepped in with such kindness and reliability that it lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. She was punctual, friendly, and immediately put me at ease. My kitten was clearly in the best of hands, and I was able to focus on my family knowing everything at home was taken care of. Anita is a breath of fresh air – reliable, caring, and simply amazing. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”

“Can’t recommend Aleksandra enough! She was absolutely fantastic with Ichiro who loved her, she was a great communicator and put us at ease. Would 100% recommend her to anyone for looking after dogs!”

“Miriam was brilliant! She looked after our Spaniel for two days and she had the best time. We had so many updates and some amazing photos. Would 100% recommend and will be booking again!”

“We came home to very happy and relaxed dogs which I think tells you everything you need to know. Enya made sure our dogs were very happy and comfortable throughout her stay with them, nothing was too much to ask. Highly recommend. Thank you Enya.”


“Simone is just so lovely, and I feel at peace when I leave Freddie with her. She is very kind and caring, and we get regular updates. Freddie cried when she left, and that says it all! Thank you very much”

“Shivanjali has sat our dog Yuki twice now in our home and both times she was brilliant! Good level of contact whilst we were out, took Yuki for walks and lots of indoor play and cuddles. Yuki clearly had a great time. Thanks Shivanjali!”

“Great sitter. Excellent communication, responsed very quickly on very short notice and did a great job of looking after Arrow for the whole weekend. Kept me updated as and when required during the time as well.”

“Caitlin was very kind and patient with our shy Italian Greyhound. We are super grateful and would trust her with our boy any day of the week. As first-time Rovers, it was also very reassuring to receive a couple of pictures throughout the evening to ease any anxiety. Highly recommend!”

“Thank you Annie for taking such good care of Teasel when you did house sitting for us! From the photos Teasel was clearly having a wonderful time and looked extremely relaxed. Thanks as well for leaving the house in such good condition. We'll definitely book with you again soon in the future.”

“This was the second time Fiona cat sat for Mini, and again she did a brilliant job 🙂 great regular and clear communication, including photos while we were away. And we came back to a very content cat 🙂 Would definitely recommend Fiona!”
