“I can't recommend Rere highly enough after the wonderful care she provided for our young dog yesterday. From the start, she was exceptionally professional, arranging a meet and greet with our one-year-old pup to ensure she felt comfortable and reassured before her stay. As an official kennel club-registered day care provider, Rere has a thorough and reassuring process, including a comprehensive form that made it clear she was prepared for every eventuality. Her home is perfectly suited to dogs, with the entire ground floor dedicated to their comfort and a small but practical outdoor space. What truly stood out for me was how quickly our dog bonded with Rere — it was clear from the first meeting that she was in safe and loving hands. Rere's flexibility with timings was fantastic, and the regular updates in the form of photos and videos were a lovely touch, allowing me to see just how much fun our pup was having. When I picked her up, it was evident she'd had an amazing day. I'll definitely be entrusting Rere with our dog again in the future, and the fact that she also offers overnight stays is an added bonus. All in all, Rere provides a safe, happy, and welcoming environment, and I wholeheartedly recommend her services! Sarah”


“Delilah has looked after our dog Breagha a few times now, and every time she picks her up, she practically sprints to the door with excitement. It’s so clear how much she loves seeing Delilah, which gives us total peace of mind. Delilah is kind, reliable, and always goes the extra mile,whether that’s lovely photo updates, long walks, or just giving Breagha loads of affection. We know she’s in brilliant hands every time. Couldn’t recommend Delilah more highly and she’s become a firm favourite in Breagha’s world!”


“Cannot recommend these lovely ladies enough. They kindly agreed to my last minute request and an early start. They looked after Teddy as if he was their own and sent lots of updates. He had the best day! Will definitely be back.”


“Thanks so much to Jess and Tom for taking such good care of little Pip! They instantly put me at ease at the meet and greet, I wouldn’t hesitate to use these guys again!”


“Eleanor was amazing. She took a last minute booking and still found time to meet our doggy before she stayed with her for the day. We got an update how she was doing and was flexible when we were running a little late to pick up. I would absolutely recommend Eleanor and will book again. Thank you!”


About: Hi, I’m Sarah! Our family has shared our home with animals for over 15 years — from dogs and cats to chickens, rabbits, and more. We currently have a sweet-natured cocker spaniel named Ivy and a curious little hamster named Bear. When we first moved to the UK two years ago, we spent several months house-sitting and had the joy of caring for dogs, cats, and even a bird — it was such a rewarding experience that we’ve never forgotten. Since then, I’ve used Rover myself to find trusted sitters for our own pets when we travel, and now I’m excited to offer the same peace of mind to others. Pet care fits naturally into our everyday life. I run my own small business creating handmade candles and aura sprays, which gives me a lot of flexibility in my schedule and allows me to be home throughout the day. My husband also works from home three days a week, so there’s usually someone around to give pets attention, cuddles, and care. We already walk our own dog, Ivy, daily — and we’re incredibly lucky to back onto a forest and open fields, making walks feel more like mini-adventures. It’s a peaceful, pet-friendly environment, and we love spending time outdoors with the animals. Caring for pets doesn’t feel like a chore to us — it’s something we genuinely enjoy and value as part of our routine. Whether it’s giving extra belly rubs, playtime in the garden, or peaceful naps on the sofa, we make sure every pet feels right at home. We live in a spacious home with a large, fully fenced garden that backs onto beautiful forest and open fields. It’s the perfect place for dogs to explore, play, and enjoy their daily walks with Ivy. Your pet will be treated like one of the family while in our care, with plenty of love, attention, and cuddles.

About: Most of my pet care experience, is looking after my springer spaniel, Luna. I helped train her as a puppy and now I care for her as an adult. I have also helped out caring for other family pets over holidays. I’ve recently left university so I am free to care for pets while I work from home. I open to sitting/walking any day of the week. I have a fenced in garden, and one very friendly springer spaniel. We’ll go on walks three times a day to one of the many green areas near my home with lots of playtime in between.

“Ellie took great care of our 4 month old cockapoo puppy. Her communication before and during the doggy day care was great, and we loved receiving all the photo updates! Thank you again!”


About: My partner, Julian, and I can’t wait to me your doggy! My day job is as a nurse (of humans!) which I’ve been doing for the last 17 years so I’m very accustomed to being responsible for and caring for others. I’ve had a dog for the last 6 years, his name is Jimmy, he’s a lurcher and a well loved member of our family even if he does manage to steal our treats occasionally! 🤣 We’ve often cared for our friends’ dogs when they’ve been on holiday and such like. My partner and I work flexible shift patterns so we can care for and spend as much time at home as possible with our young son and dog, so we figured why not help others out too? We’re often having to look for doggy boarding when we go on trips and holidays etc, so we know how stressful it is and thought we’d try to take some of the stress out of it for others and get to make lots of new doggy friends at the same time! Julian and I will be jointly caring for your dog (with the help of our toddler too, he knows where the dog treats are kept!). We have 1 dog, he’s an old boy and mostly enjoys curling up to snooze and stealing food when he can. Our son is 2 years old, he has been around many different dogs, he loves playing with dogs, but is also aware when to give dogs space. We have an open plan downstairs which helps for observing, we’d never leave our child alone with any dogs. We have a secure garden space which is fully fenced. We’re not fussy about dogs being on furniture etc

“After having looked after Madge so well when she boarded for 2 nights, Karmen was able to help me again at very short notice for doggy day care. Again, communication and care were second to none. Thanks for the last minute support!”


“Jess and Dom are friendly, cheerful, understanding, calm and caring sitters who are experienced and knowledgable about dogs. Our border collie was very happy indeed. You could not ask for a better place to leave your pet. X”


“Emma was great with our nervous dog - she kept us up to date with lots of photos and was quick to respond to messages. Will definitely be re-booking, thank you!”



“Chris did an amazing job taking care of our 6 month Pomeranian for the day - he was really responsive and clearly very organised and responsible and cares very much about the dogs in his care! Klaus came back very happy ? We would thoroughly recommend and will be sure to contact Chris if we need a dog sitter again in the future - thank you!”


About: We are family of 3 (dad, mum and 10 years old son) we've just lost our cross Springer/Labrador Puzzle who was 12 years old. We are not ready to take a new fluffy friend, but in the meantime decided why not to have over doggies around plus help out an owner in need of a free time for holiday ect. We leave in a beautiful countryside 1 min away from the fields, forest and little river. At home we allow dogs to stay only on the ground floor but its plenty of space (lounge, kitchen, corridor & dining room) and we don't mind a cuddles on the sofa. We are looking after out friends dogs some times to times and I decided why not to try to provide lovely holidays for some one else's doggies when they owners going on holidays and would like to make sure they dog is happy, comfy and safe. We would take only one dog at a time to avoid too busy environment, so it will be only your loved one. Please contact me if you have any further questions. Otherwise, your lovely fur-ball is very welcome in our house for his unforgettable holidays full of fun and cuddles. Morning walk between 9.00am to 12.00 Evening walk between 17.00-19.00 pm Walks will be about 1h both Weekend walks could be longer. We do go sometimes for all day outings and will take a doggy with us We have the garde fully fenced and secure. Can play fetch in the garden if your dog likes it Our son live playing with doggies too

About: Hi, We are David and Rachel, a couple of dog lovers who live in Haywards Heath. Rachel grow up with dogs and is a fully qualified vet and we have had three dogs of our own. Herbie and Teddy, our Shi Tzu's, and Isis, our Chocolate Labrador. Unfortunately Herbie and Isis passed away over the past two year but we recently rescued Teddy, a two year old Shid Tzu from Liverpool and would be keen to socialise him with dog boarders. Senior care: Isis and Herbie reached old age (13 and 18 respectively) so we have a lot of experience in older dog care. In addition to my experience, my wife is a Vet so as you would expect has extensive knowledge on how to treat dogs, deliver medication etc. We live in a semi detached house with a fully fenced garden and only 5 minutes walk from the local park. I work from home/remotely, so I'm always around to ensure they have the company, care and supervision they need. I can drop in or do a walk on my lunch break or before and after work. During dog sitting, I will be the primary carer for your dog/dogs, but my wife can be a secondary carer. I will keep in regular contact with pictures and pupdates while we take care of your beloved dogs, so you can have peace of mind that your pet is being well looked after.

“Roscoe absolutely loved being at Sarah’s, her family and dog Ruby welcomed him in lovingly and gave him all the attention and exercise he could wish for. Will definitely be using again.”


“Biggles had a fabulous time with Rita and he was so happy! He was well cared for and Rita was great at knowing all his needs. Communications have been excellent and regular updates. Really lovely to know he was in safe hands and will use Rita again! Highly recommend 😊”

“Alex was wonderful looking after our cocker spaniel Ruby. She sent me some lovely photos of them out walking and kept in touch throughout Ruby's stay. I would highly recommend Alex.”
