“Tikka loved her day with Amelia and was a happy (and most importantly tired!) pup when I got home. Lots of pictures were sent and they had a long walk too. Thanks Amelia will book again :)”


3. Durga G.

“Durga was so great with Tartufo! She followed all my directions and did more than asked to! She was very careful as Tartufo is so fragile. She played and fed him just as I asked her to and he slept pretty much all the day after she left and until I got home, I’m sure my dog had a fun play time with her and will be happy to see her again! Thanks so much Durga, we really appreciate!”

13. Iwona J C.

“Iwona took excellent care of both Fred and Milly. Her attention to detail is excellent, particularly with our very young puppy, taking care to know his routine and training needs. We are very grateful for her excellent care of our pets and house and will be using her sitting services again!”


14. Sebastian V.

“Really excellent service from Sebastian. He dropped in to feed and administer medicine to my two cats every day for five days. He cheerfully kept me updated with photos and videos, was totally reliable, the litter tray was properly cleared each day, I returned to happy cats and a clean smelling flat, he had tidied the daily cat destruction and even took the rubbish bag out at the end of the stay. Thoroughly recommend. Thanks Sebastian!”


15. Ellen S.
“As Ellens mum I can testify that Ellen would make an excellent dog walker. As a dog owner myself to an 18 year old Westie I can say that until moving from her home town a few years ago she took excellent care of Toby, seeing to his every need, walking, feeding, bathing and was vigilant in checking his welfare at all times. She is currently a bunny mummy to Daisy and has recently adopted Cricket, to keep Daisy company. Ellen is passionate about animals and their welfare. I feel she would definitely be an asset to Rover”


16. Roisin M.
“Roisin is kind and responsible pet parent, who makes sure her lovely dog Casper is well looked after and gets his daily walks in their local park. Casper is a fun, sweet tempered dog, who is well socialised with people and other dogs, he loves the company of both dogs and humans. Roisin is an animal lover and confident with both small and big dogs, she will make sure that your dog is happy, safe and will have a fun time when staying with her and Casper!”

“Tracy is super friendly and patient with my one-year old dog. She is extremely professional, reliable and always happy to help. You won't find a more caring sitter for your dog :o)”


18. Sanja J.
“I've seen firsthand the incredible patience, dedication, and care my wife gives to every dog she looks after—especially those with challenging backgrounds. She’s naturally calm, observant, and deeply empathetic, always putting the dog’s needs and comfort first. Our own rescue dog has come so far because of her commitment, and I trust her completely to handle any situation with thoughtfulness and responsibility.”


19. Lucas G.
“We want to express our gratitude to Mr. Lucas for the exceptional treatment he gave to our dog. His attention and care were remarkable, leaving us very happy. We wholeheartedly recommend his services with full confidence!”


20. Molly C.
“Molly is brilliant with all pets having looked after our Jack Russel cross Buster on numerous occasions. She kept up with his dietary requirements, exercise and incessant ball throwing needs 🤣. She also took care of our cats Pumpkin and Bea, making sure they were fed, litter cleaned and cleaning their eyes and ears to avoid infections. Molly is reliable and responsible and most of all loving. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a petsitter or dog walker!”
