“Great service, sent me pictures of our dog to reassure me. Was able to do my dog sitting at short notice. Also my dog can be naughty on the lead but James was able to handle her no problems. 👍”


“This is the second time Colin and Christina have looked after our dogs Odin and Tilly. We now have no qualms about leaving our home and our dogs with these sitters. They are brilliant.”


“I didn’t even get to meet Tracey but she put my mind at rest. Updates all evening and morning which is what we wanted. They had so much of a great time that now we are back they don’t want anything to do with us 😂 this is our first experience using rover and it’s put my mind completely at rest. I will definately be asking Tracey in the future to help us with the pups should we stay away again. Thanks again for everything”


About: I have had various pets growing up - a dog since I was 11. I previously worked for a dog kennels, walking the dogs and helping with feeding and cleaning. Prior to using Rover, I had lots of experience looking after neighbours and friends dogs whilst they were away. I live with my boyfriend Petr who is also a big dog lover and helps me take care of the dogs we have round. I currently work freelance from home so have a flexible schedule. I like to travel but in between travelling I’m always eager to help with dog walking, drop in visits or home stays. I currently can’t offer home boarding at my own home as I live with my families pets, but hope to open this up again in the future. I always adapt to each pet/owner, when it comes to eating and daily routines, as I understand everyone and every dog is different. I will treat your dog with as much love and care as if they were my own. I care massively about the welfare and happiness of every animal I meet ❤️

“Such a friendly young lady Looked after Danny for 2 nights was only too happy to have him curled up with her Will definately be welcoming her back whenever l need a sitter for Danny again if shes available”

“Volodymyr stayed at our house with our 2 dogs for 10 days and we were so impressed! From the very beginning, he was very communicative, gave regular updates, and wasn’t afraid to ask questions. One of our dogs has reactivity issues and Volodymyr handled him with ease. When we got home, our home was spotless and in pristine condition, and our dogs were very happy and well taken care of! We are very thankful for Volodymyr and we look forward to working with him again in the future! Highly recommend!”


“Jessica was very helpful, quick to reply & kept in touch frequently. She looked after my two large dogs with ease & care for a week overnight at my home whilst we were away. No issues whatsoever & would happily recommend. Rapport was easy to develop & wouldn’t hesitate in rebooking. Felt my dogs were safe & secure & looked after by someone I felt I could trust, which proved to be correct. Great service with compassion & care for my dogs throughout. Thank you Jessica, hope to avail of your services in the future again!”


About: With having a dog obsessed family and growing up with all types of dogs from Rotwiliers, Shibas, St Bernards all the way down to my current parents dog who I also claim as mine, a little pug called Bernie! With my Uncle being a guide dog lead puppy trainer, he has taught me all the best tips in the best way to raise and look after all dogs! From puppies to older dogs. The love and happiness I feel towards all dogs is endless. The happiness I see from giving a dog everything he/she deserves is what has driven me to start looking after and providing care for dogs today. All dogs are so special and deserve the best care and love, and I look forward helping other pet owners give their pets the best life! With having moved to the area in late 2023, we hope we can offer dog a loving home away from home!! I am currently working full time, therefore weekend availability will be best for me! Me and my partner work from Home on Monday, Wednesday and Friday so one of us will be in all day on those days! I have a fenced garden with no chance of your beloved dog escaping! We are both young, and physically fit, no children and who love going on walks around the park and further beyond! We also would be happy to take your beloved dog in the car for longer walks if that is something they would enjoy.

“Bethany looked after our 2 dogs at our house this weekend. I was quite nervous as had not used this app previously. She gave us updates on how they were, sent pictures & always replied to messages quickly. She stuck to their routine and looked after our house brilliantly while we were away. We came back to 2 very happy doggies. I would highly recommend Bethany & we will definitely be using her services again in the future.”


“We could not recommend Beth highly enough! Ty was absolutely besotted with Beth and was so chilled when we returned home from an event. We were sent lots of pictures of Ty to show he was settled and being well looked after. The house was left neat and clean, just as we had left it. Would definitely recommend Beth for anyone requiring pet and/or house sitting. Thank you so much Beth. Will definitely be in touch again if we need a dog sitter.?xx”


“Louise is a great sitter, we knew that our two dogs will be fine with her. Even our anxious rescue warmed up to her quickly. I appreciated the picture updates and very prompt communication, will definitely contact her again to look after our dogs.”


About: I’ve always had dogs in my life, from delivering litters of puppies to caring for senior dogs and I’ve loved every minute. I’m also a qualified dog groomer I groom dogs part time and I work around those hours which are very flexible. Any dates booked in advance are usually not a problem I come to your home so your pets routine will not be disrupted. I can also water your plants and bring in your bins to help you.

About: I have spent most of my life in homes that were full of love for the many different pets that we have cared for. I love all types of small pets, cats and dogs. Whether they are cute, cuddly, playful, sleepy, energetic, lazy or timid, I take time to understand their character and their individual needs so that I can give them the love and care they deserve. I have hands-on experience with puppy training using positive reinforcement, helping little ones build confidence and good habits from day one. For senior pets, I provide thoughtful, attentive care—supporting mobility, administering medications, and offering a calming presence. For the pet's owners, communication is king. I keep in touch regularly so that you can make the most of your time away knowing that your beloved pets are getting the best and most loving care. I've now given up all other employment so that I can earn a little pocket money doing something that I truly love and enjoy - walking dogs and caring for cats and small pets in your absence. Of course, I have hobbies and time out occasionally, but and I am very flexible with no specific hours of work. If I'm free - then I'm available for your pet. At the moment I am unable to offer home boarding for pets of any kind; hopefully I will be adding this service in the near future. I offer a house/pet sitting service where I will stay in your house and look after your dogs, cats and/or other small animals when you're away. Currently though, I am only able to do one or two nights (subject to availability of course); I'm usually unable to accept longer stays. I pride myself in being a true gentleman; trustworthy, honest and reliable. I'm DBS certified, I have business and public liability insurance and I have undertaken training in pet care, pet-sitting, dog walking and pet first aid. Equally importantly, I'm honest about my limitations. If I don't feel perfectly comfortable and confident that I can provide the service you need, I will politely decline and assist you in finding someone who can.

“Helen was wonderful with Izzy & Boots and to be honest I think Izzy was a little sad when she left! Our house was beautifully cared for, we couldn’t have wanted for more. We definitely recommend Helen and we will be contacting her again soon. Thank you ?”


About: I’ve been looking after neighbours pets since I was 12, doing dog walks daily and moving on to house sitting for several different people. I’ve looked after older cats, younger cats, 6 puppies at once, rescue dogs, anxious dogs, fish, birds, parrots, rabbits, hamsters. I will always keep the routine the same for your pet, take them on nice walks and take care of them on overnight stays, sitting with them, playing with them in the garden or with any toys they have. I work part-time in a pub and also have a car valeting business, meaning I can be flexible and ensure that your pet will get the attention they need and deserve. I have experience with puppy’s, older dogs, partially blind dogs and dogs with anxiety. I work for myself, doing car valeting, therefore I can organise my diary around your pet. I usually have 2 days off a week and my days have big gaps in to accommodate. I will be looking after pets in your home only as I have 2 dogs at my home. I will take care of pets in the environment they are comfortable with and used to, keeping their same routine can help the pets to feel more at ease when their owners are away.
