“Eleanor and Raymond took such wonderful care of Lucy and all her little quirks. They went above and beyond, taking the time to get to know her personality - her likes, dislikes, and her favourite routine. They managed everything with a genuine affection for her. It was such a comfort to know she was in such capable, caring hands while we were away. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend!”

“Murali was absolutely wonderful - he took our whippet, Poppet, at short notice and looked after her beautifully. He sent lots of photos and videos whilst she was staying with him and his family, and was highly responsive at all times. I would definitely recommend him and will book Poppy in again with him whenever possible.”

So loving and caring to her and so reassuring to me sending me regular updates everyday. I highly, highly recommend Ronald, just a lovely person with whom your dog will be in the safest and kindest of hands”

About: Hi, I’m Keeley! I’m new to Rover, but grew up with dogs and regularly host my friends and families dogs whilst they are on holiday! I adore dogs of all kinds and would love to care for yours with the same love and attention as you do at home. Your dog/s will be the only pet in the home (aside from some friendly fish!). My aim is to provide a safe and welcoming environment full of lots of playing, cuddles and walks (or whatever else your dog might prefer). I live in a house, where the dogs are welcome to roam and relax as they please. I also have an enclosed garden and only offer bookings on days where I will be available all day, so you don’t have to worry about your pup being left alone. I am also near to some great walking and sniffing spots! I can provide updates as frequently as you would like and am happy to discuss any particular requirements your dog may have! Please feel free to reach out :) thank you I work in healthcare and do three long shifts per week, so I only offer availability on days and nights where I am completely free to spend time with your pup. I live in a house with an enclosed garden and near to lots of great walking and sniffing spots. I am home all day/night when dogs are booked in and am happy to accommodate any particular needs or routines.

“Chip had a great time staying with Lauren’s family for a few nights. He had lots of fun playing with his ball and long walks. Lauren was incredibly welcoming and I would hesitate to book again!”


About: I’ve been around animals since early childhood with years of caring for pups, cats, even chickens of all breeds and sizes. I’ve looked after dogs and cats for friends, family and have a growing list of happy clients. Whether your dog loves long walks, your cats zoomy playtime or just a cozy nap buddy, they’ll be treated like family in my care. I currently work full-time Monday to Friday, 9–5, so early mornings, evenings, weekends and overnight sitting are no problem at all. Additional arrangements can be made to fit your needs as required. I’m happy to tailor walks from your doorstep and for dogs who enjoy car travel, I can also take them to the New Forest for relaxed trail walks I know well. During boarding, your dog will enjoy a spacious home with ample fields to explore. I’ll happily adapt to their routine to ensure they feel comfortable.

About: I have years of experience caring for furry companions, including walking, feeding, and bathing them. But it's not just about the basics—I prioritize building bonds with the dogs I care for. I provide companionship, playtime, and affection to make sure they feel loved and secure while their owners are away. With my experience and genuine love for dogs, owners can trust that their beloved friends are in capable and caring hands with me. I work a full-time job Mon-Thurs (9 am-5 pm). I am excited to dedicate the off-the-job hours to spending quality time with your adorable pups! With a fenced backyard at my home, I can provide a secure space for your dog. However, I believe in enriching their experience by spending most of our time outdoors, going for walks and enjoying parks together.

We wouldn’t go to anyone else!”
