“Larissa was so good with Sammy, sent me lots of photos and kept me up to date on everything. Sammy loved the attention and the beautiful garden they have. A perfect match.”

“Dior really enjoyed staying with Irina. Her family was very welcoming and kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos as it was Diors first time with someone new. I was very impressed with how she looked after Dior and will definitely book again.”


About: After many years in the corporate world, I recently retired and decided it was finally time to do something I genuinely love, caring for dogs. Dogs have been a huge part of my life, at one point I had four of my own. Caring for them through every stage of life has given me extensive hands-on experience particularly with rescue and senior dogs who need extra patience, understanding and care. Although I am new to Rover, I have spent many years looking after friends' dogs while they travelled, I understand how important it is for owners knowing that dogs are safe, relaxed, cared for. Your dog will stay in a spacious four bedroom house with a large secure garden. Dogs are welcome throughout the house, this is very much a home from home environment with no restrictions on where they can relax or sleep. There are comfortable dog beds around the house, plenty of sofa options if they prefer or my own bed if they so wish. I am fortunate to have four parks within walking distance of my home but I also regularly drive to larger walking areas and country parks where there is more space, quieter routes and plenty of shade during warmer weather. The walks are always tailored to the individual dog I am caring for. The younger and energetic can enjoy adventure walks, while older or senior dogs are given a gentler pace with shorter but more frequent walk. This is not just a business venture for me, it's an opportunity to spend time doing something I really love, giving dogs a caring comfortable home and their owners complete peace of mind. i almost forgot, I am insured and DBS checked. I am at home full time so fully adaptable to your dog's routine. I do have my own dog, she gets two walks a day. The boarded dog would have a minimum of two walk as well, more if needed. 4 bedroom house in Brockley with large secure garden. Many parks all around me. I very often head off to Kent for adventure and beach walks.
“Nelefiaa has effectively looked after Champ what’s four weekends in a row! I had a weekend courses back to back and had zero worries leaving Champ with her! Good and clear comms, how much she cares for dogs is extremely clear. I’m really grateful to her - definitely helped me focus on my course because of her wonderful care towards Champ”

“We are so grateful to Arron for taking such wonderful care of our cockapoo, Bailey from the initial meet and greet, we felt 100% confident leaving Bailey with him. He was fantastic with daily photo and video updates, which gave us immense peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from the pictures that bailey was having a great time, enjoying beautiful walks and lots of attention. When we picked him up, He was happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. We highly recommend Arron to any pet parent and will definitely be using their services again! Nice and easy drop right next to Blackheath station :) Thanks for cleaning his muddy paws x”

“Eleanor looked after our 8 month old corgi for a night. Eleanor was great, she clearly loves dogs and cared about any specific needs. She was great at communicating and we were very relaxed to leave our puppy with her. We definitely recommend Eleanor and will be using her again! Thank you!”

“Nicola was so great looking after Lola! We felt very comfortable leaving her overnight, she was really flexible and sent us lots of photos/updates on how Lola was getting on. Would definitely use her again!”

“Thank you so much. My pup was really looked after. I had lots of updates throughout the day with pictures. We forget his bed so went back and my dog was excited to go back. Based on that response from him, we will be regular customers.”

“Albie and I both love Lianna, she is fantastic with pups of all sizes/breeds/energy levels. When Albie is with her I know that he is safe, happy, and feeling loved. Thank goodness we found her.”

“Joshua looked after our dog Mew yesterday and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. He kept us updated throughout the evening with plenty of pictures and videos, which was really reassuring and lovely to see. Mew looked so happy and clearly had a great time. His dog Ovie is such a sweetie - so calm, friendly, and well behaved. He was a great companion for Mew to play with and learn from. I would highly recommend Joshua to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter, and we will definitely be booking with him again in the future!”

“Susan looked after my dog twice, the first time after very short notice. Linus can can whine and have some anxiety but she was able to manage him. She has a lovely garden and a very sweet pug to keep your dog company. I’d certainly leave my dog with her again.”

“Pauline was a great sitter for Missy, she kept me regularly updated with pictures and feedback and Missy had a lovely stay and was very well looked after. Would recommend and Missy will be back!”

“Irina and her husband Andrei have looked after my whippet twice, both overnight stays - they’re very reliable, caring and share regular photo updates. They take her for nice long walks and she’s very comfortable at their flat. Would highly recommend!”

“We had a great experience with Isil and Ayhan! This was our first time leaving Honey with a dog sitter, and we couldn’t be happier that we found this couple. They took wonderful care of her and made the whole experience easy and reassuring. We will definitely use them again next time. Highly recommend, thank you guys! 🐶✨”

“Fraser kindly accepted an overnight stay for Huck with short notice, which was much appreciated. He was quick and easy to communicate with and Huck had a great time! He had checked with us beforehand if Huck would be alright to bring along for a quick drink in a pub garden, which Huck is always happy and well accustomed to :D Fraser shared updates and pics throughout his stay, which is always lovely to receive and reassures you that your dog is well looked after! Thank you!”

About: Hello! I'm Tash, a dog lover and owner of my very own playful and sociable bundle of floof, Woody the schnoodle. I truly believe life is better with dogs. I know how much your dog means to you so I make sure every pup leaves my company feeling happy, safe and ready for a snooze! As a freelance creative, my schedule means I can be flexible so please let me know how I can help out with your fluffy friend. I live in a child-free, spacious, dog-friendly ground floor flat with a fully fenced secure garden. We often leave the backdoor ajar so our dog Woody and any of his furry friends can wander in and out as they choose. I take the responsibility of looking after your dog very seriously and will ask for a thorough understanding of their needs, quirks and preferences before caring for them.
“The best dog sitter and such a lovely person! I dropped Nellie quite last minute, she was so welcoming, and her dog dill is super cute too. Had amazing photo updates and would definitely recommend! A brilliant dog sitter you can trust xx”

“Jesse, my border terrier, had an AMAZING time with Eliane and her lovely family. We loved getting the daily pics and videos while we were away, he was obviously very well looked after and came back happy, chilled and well fed (he can be a fussy eater). Would recommend 100% ❤️”

Ivan was simply fantastic. This was the first time we had left Cami with anyone and we were slightly nervous but Ivan kept us updated everyday with photos and videos of her amazing walks so we knew she was being well looked after. Each day she got to explore a different park so she never got bored. I couldn't have asked for anyone better to look after Cami and would definitely book with Ivan again.

This was our first time using a service like this so had what I imagine are pretty normal nerves! Larissa eased those immediately and the regular videos and photos were so nice to receive. The house was such a great space for our dog and we will definitely be asking Larissa to mind our doggy again!
Always a pleasure to leave the pups with Jonathan. He clearly adores the dogs and they always run up to his front door whenever we visit, eager to see him. And they’re always tuckered out afterwards. Jonathan is very easy going and a delight to talk to. Recommend highly.

Coby had a fab weekend with Zuzanna - we met her ahead of time so Coby could feel comfortable with her. She asked lots of questions to make sure she was prepared and throughout the stay she sent us pictures for peace of mind. Coby had a great time and we could rest assured knowing she was in good hands :)

WOW! Thank you so much to Maria & Thanos for taking such incredible care of our 7-month old puppy Twix for a week when we went on holiday. We were so nervous to leave her due to her young age, and the fact that she got her first heat cycle right over the time we went away, but Maria & Thanos made us feel so reassured. They sent so many pictures and videos of Twix absolutely living her best life every day, keeping us updated the whole time, and watching her bond with them was so special! They will be our first choice of dog sitters from now on, we could not have asked for more. Thank you to you both for the love and care you gave to our precious girl! She misses you lots!

I had a really great experience with Tingxuan — definitely the best pet sitter I’ve had so far. She looked after my dog Sushi for 5 days, and I could tell Sushi was really happy and comfortable with her. Sushi was excited to go and I’d feel completely confident leaving her with Tingxuan again. It’s such a relief knowing your dog is well cared for, and I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
