“Milly has looked after Rudi a couple of times now, and he absolutely loves her. She is a complete natural with animals. Always sends a picture of Rudi smiling to us when she looks after him which is great. Highly recommend.”


2. Mark B.
“Mark Barnes is a very close friend who I can recommend to take care of people's family pets or pets needing stable accomodation before they are re-homed. He grew up with a family pet dog and also looked after my pet Jack Russell on numerous occasions when I was away.My pet always felt relaxed, calm and happy in his care. He is reliable,honest and will take full responsibility with their welfare regards walking,feeding and giving them love and attention which they so rightly deserve whilst the owners are absent from their lives.”

About: Very protective, will save insects. One of my favourite things to do when taking care of pets is to take them on days out and visit different dog friendly places with them. Lots of walks, we have a cemetery a couple minutes walk away so it makes a great place to be for all types of dogs due to the lead only rule. They will receive lots of love and attention. You will receive lots of photos and updates throughout their stay, that is something very important to me. - I lock in prices so if my fees are to go up in the future they will remain at the original price for you. I have a flexible work schedule, I am able to check my dates and hours to ensure you are aware of my schedule also before we are happy to continue. I will like to know your routine to keep it as similar as I can. My routine is to usually take dogs out for a walk almost immediately as I find they're at much more ease after a walk - I find it helps distract them from any possible separation anxiety and forms a bond and trust towards me.

5. Ellora K.

“Ellora was great with my cat. Poulette is diabetic so she needs regular injections, which Ellora managed great. Thanks. Loved the little pictures and updates”


6. Sandra W.
“Sandra has provided great care for our German Shepherd before, from walks to feeds and playing in the garden, Max was always exited to see here even in the end, sadly max passed not long ago, but Sandra tried her best to also keep him company in the last few days, which meant so much to our family!”


7. Rachel S.

“Always a comfort knowing Rachel can assist with Milly and helps out with mum too, thank you Rachel.”


8. Serena L.

“Serena was great. Came round to meet us the night before, dealt brilliantly with our slightly nervy rescue dog and our shonky old house, and did exactly what was needed! Thanks Serena”


9. Emma H.
“Emma has exceptional care when looking after my two cats if I need a sitter while abroad. I have used Emma's services for 3 years and she had never let me down. I have been away for as long as two weeks and it has given me such comfort and reassurance knowing my two cats are in their usual environment safe at home. Thank you Emma, as you are aware we will continue your services indefinitely. E”


10. Bailey M.


“Bailey really helped me out last minute! Such a lovely person with a great personality, my dog loved her too ❤️🐶”


11. India K.

“India has been a great pet sitter, she stayed at our place for the BH weekend and looked after our two cats Dexter & Gypsy. She kept me up to date throughout the weekend and also sent me pics. I would definitely recommend her and ask her to house sit again. Thank you India!”


12. Karen R.
“Karen has on a number of occasions taken care of my cat whilst I went on holiday and has done so with great care. She never hesitated when it came to changing her litter tray when needed and as she was an elderly cat with ailments, karen would monitor her health. With my cat being so frail it was difficult for me to leave her but Karen had my full trust and I always came home to a happy well cared for cat. I Would very highly recommend her.”


13. Samantha M.
“Samantha has been a friend for a number of years now and has always been generous, kind and compassionate. When it comes to caring for her dog, Rosie, she is a brilliant owner. She is responsible, loving and patient. The first time I met Rosie I was given clear instructions by Samantha, on how to interact with her dog, so both of us would feel comfortable. Rosie is well loved and looked after, whether it’s seeking help from a Veterinarian if the need arises, or giving Rosie walks and stimulating games to keep Rosie in tip top conditions, Samantha never fails to be, in my opinion, a shining example of a dog owner. Samantha not only considers the health and wellbeing of her pet, but also the public and Rosie’s surroundings. I couldn’t think of a more perfect example than Samantha to be part of Rover.”




14. Lily R.

“Liana did a great job at caring for our little fur baby while we were gone. I loved how she wanted to go over care instructions before starting to make sure she knew what my cat liked and didn’t like. Plus the constant communication and check-ins where so nice! Definitely would recommend her to anyone who needed a pet sitter!”

16. Michelle W.
About: I absolutely adore dogs, big & small! Iv grown up with dogs all my life whether it be at my parents when I was younger or around one of my sisters and brothers dogs, I think they make great companions and definitely become apart of the family! I would have 10 dogs if I could lol but I just have the 1 at the moment but hopefully in the future I will have a few more but for the meantime hopefully I can walk and look after other people's and take care of them as a part time job. I think dogs are lovely animals and just a pleasure to be around!🐶❤️ I'm currently working 9 hours a week as a cleaner/housekeeper so can be flexible in the mornings and/or afternoons which ever suits, I'm available anytime on Mondays, Thursdays and weekends. We have a good sized back garden which is fenced and also a kitchen which we put our small dog in if needed. I have a decent size cage for small cats if needed.


17. Samantha B.
“Samantha was fantastic with my boy Loki. Came and sit with him for about 5 hours whilst I worked gave him a lovely long walk and played lots with him. He slept well! He absolutely loves her!”


18. Mark H.
“I am beyond grateful for the outstanding care Mark has provided for my dog! From the very first meeting, I could tell my pet was in good hands. Mark is reliable, loving, and truly understands my dog's unique needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply offering some quiet time, Mark ensures my dog feels safe, happy, and well-cared for. I’ve noticed such a positive change in my dog’s behavior and energy after each visit. I wholeheartedly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet provider!”


19. Sanaa C.

“Sanaa was fantastic looking after my cats. Very organised, good with communication and really took great care in looking after my cats whilst I was away. I would highly recommend Sanaa for pet sitting.”


20. Stuart H.
About: Hi my name is Stuart, I have owned and cared for many dogs throughout my life so I am extremely competent at caring for and walking even the largest of dogs. I'm currently a full time pet carer as I work from home and have my own two lovely dogs to look after also but I share responsibility for them so I have spare time. I have a large back garden for my two lovely dogs Bumble and Muffin and they walk off of the lead and come back when they are called. I don't crate my dogs but I don't have a problem crating your pup if required.
