1. Ruta T.


“Ruta and her partner gave amazing love and care to our Captain for a week. Her daily updates with stories from the day accompanied by photos and videos were a delight to receive. It made us feel so much more relaxed on our holiday. We felt like Captain was having a holiday of his own, especially having Lexi's company too. Ruta and her partner clearly have a real love of dogs and we would not hesitate to book a stay with them again. Thanks guys! - From Captain and family.”


2. Amelia W.

“Amelia and her partner were amazing with Harrie. She invited us around to make sure she knew Harries routine and anything she should be aware of before staying. She kept us regularly updated with pictures daily. Highly recommend Amelia. Harrie will be back 😀”


3. Jack Y.


“Jack and his family are outstanding. I left my dog Henry with them for six days at quite short notice. Not only were they accommodating, I could tell from the outset they truly cared about how Henry would best fit into their home. I received daily, high quality updates and pictures and I could tell Henry was well stimulated and having a great time. I would definitely use Jack again in the future, thanks again!”


4. Sally R.

“Sally was unbelievably helpful when I needed a last minute sitter! Communication and updates were very regular and I could see Kimi and Alfie were having a great time with her and the children. They actually didn’t want to leave on collection - I will be booking again! Thanks Sally.”


5. Nese A.

“Nese and her husband looked after our wcs for the weekend and were truly wonderful. Having a wcs of their own meant they understood the breed which was very reassuring. Hattie had long walks, swims, cuddles and came home tired and happy. We had loads of photographs and updates to reassure us all was well. We will definitely ask them to have Hattie again!”


6. Ashley & Todd S.


“Ashley and Todd were absolutely amazing. They accommodated us last minute, arranged a meet and greet and took the absolute best care of our Cockapoo, Crumble. Crumble is still quite young but they were happy to follow her sleeping and training regime, which meant we felt entirely comfortable leaving her. Their wonderful family (including Rey!) kept Crumble safe, exercised and well-loved. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Thank you!”


7. Suraj U.

“Suraj was really nice while he was taking care of Skye. He was so lovely and kind to her. And he was updating me regularly and showing me everything that can reassure that he is taking care of your pet with love and respect. My flight got delayed and he had to cancel an event to take care of Skye. I really appreciate what he has done. If I have another issue, I will not be hesitant to book suraj again. I was sure that he would take care of Skye and he is worth trusting.”


8. Ella J.

“Ella was such a great sitter. We met in advance in her house which was very kind of her to do. My dog Juno instantly loved her and it sounds like they had a fun few days together! She provided lots of updates which are always lovely to receive. I would thoroughly recommend and would love to book with Ella again in the future.”


9. Sanja J.
“I have known Sanja for 5 years and she is amazing with dogs! She is very caring and knowledgeable about dog behaviours. Whenever I leave my dog Juniper with her I know that she will be taken very good care of. They go on lovely long walks and have fun adventures. Sanja has a lot of experience with rescue dogs and is very good at recognizing different behavioural signs. She really loves dogs and is the best!”


10. Rokas Z.

“Rokas was absolutely amazing, we were sent loads of photos and videos of Winston who looked like he was having an amazing time on fun walks and playing around. Rokas is very reliable and Winston was given so much love and care”


11. Lyudmila S.

“Sabie came back from her stay with Lyudmila a happy pup. We received many photos and video updates which helped us relax with the knowledge she was being looked after. We will definitely use Lyudmila’s service when the need arises again.”


12. Magdalena O.

“Bailey loved his stay - and having Cannoli for company, even though he’s a bit older. Megan and Willem sent regular updates with photos which are always reassuring. They followed his routines. We’ll definitely be using their services again.”


13. Marina S.

“Marina and her family looked after Nelly (5 month old cocker spaniel) for two weeks. I couldn’t have asked for more - they treated her like one of the family, kept us up to date with lots of videos and pictures, and Nelly LOVED her staff with them! Marina is a great person and she adores dogs! Definetly recommend her to look after your loved one! ❤️”


14. Daiana D.

“First time leaving my dog otto with Daiana and her family and just felt so at ease leaving him with her. She sent regular photos and kept me updated. Thank you so much for looking after him. Will definitely be in contact again!”


15. Natasha T.
“Natasha loves dogs. She is kind, caring, and shows a great understanding of dogs and their needs, in that each dog has its own individual personality and ways. She is reliable and trustworthy and has looked after my Schnoodle Sadie numerous times and I have no hesitation in recommending her to Rover.”


16. Kwok H.

“Kwok was great with Maeve! Super friendly with Maeve, send pictures throughout the day and Maeve seemed very happy by the end of the day! Super recommend”


17. Kat L.

“Kat was brilliant with Gofio even though he's a handful. Gofio needs lots of understanding, patience, space and play so I can't leave him just with any sitter. Kat listened to us and him! She's survived 18 nights of cuddles and gave him all her attention. Gofio was safe, well looked after and fed. Kat is sure to keep seeing Gofio! :)”


18. Juliet S.

“She is an excellent dog sitter. She is very attentive and sent me videos of my dog's condition multiple times a day. Thanks to her, I could spend my time away with peace of mind. I am grateful for her kindness and consideration.”


19. Laura F.

“Laura was fantastic with Jack! Jack stayed with her for a week and settled in very easily at her place. She provided me with updates and photos every so often, which was much appreciated! We saw her after my holiday and Jack was very excited to see her again! Which is a great sign that he enjoyed his time with her. I felt at ease knowing he was in good hands. Will definitely be booking in with Laura again!”


20. Violet G.

“We could not have been happier with the care our two pups received whilst staying with Violet and her family. It was our first time using Rover and I can't believe how lucky we were to have found such a loving home. We received regular updates and photos of their stay and would absolute recommend and use Violet again.”
