“Lula was absolutely fantastic looking after our dog, Bobbin. Before the sitting, she kindly came over to the house to meet him and learn about his behaviour, routine, and what he likes and dislikes. It was such a thoughtful touch and immediately put us at ease. Lula was so lovely and polite, and Bobbin took to her straight away. Throughout the day she took amazing care of Bobbin — playing with him, taking him for walks, and making sure he was happy and comfortable the whole time. It was clear he had a wonderful day with her. She also treated our home with great care and left everything just as we had left it. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Lula was reliable, kind, and clearly loves animals. Bobbin had such a great time with her and we will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend!”
“We had a great experience with Tina. Despite my last-minute request, she took the time to come over beforehand to meet Bobbin and learn about his behaviour, routine, and care needs. Throughout the day, Tina sent regular updates and photos, which was really reassuring. It was lovely to see that Bobbin was having so much fun with her and getting plenty of cuddles and attention. He clearly had a wonderful day and was very happy and relaxed in her care. Tina was kind, professional, and attentive, following all of Bobbin's care instructions and taking great care of my home as well. I felt completely confident leaving him with her. I wouldn't hesitate to book Tina again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“It was my first time using Rover and Hannah was absolutely brilliant. My dogs seem to be so happy and relaxed, communication was great. Would 100% recommend and use Hannah again.”
“The first time Ying-Ying has met Bowie and sat for the evening and I am very happy and comfortable letting her look after him. Lovely young lady, very friendly and made a big effort to gain Bowie's trust and took great care of him. Ying-Ying also kept in touch letting me know how Bowie was getting on, sending photos and videos. I would definitely recommend x”
“Steve looked after my fur baby exceptionally well. He is a very nice, kind and helpful man. Steve dilagently followed a rather complicated feeding and medication regime to the letter. When I got back from my break my boy was calm and happy. Steve sent me video, pictures and regular updates for which I was extremely grateful. Respected my home and kept it clean and tidy. Played and loved Dexter as if he was his own dog. Highly recommend Steve to look after your pet, I will definately be requesting he comes to look after Dexter again. Booked Steve at short notice because my original sitter cancelled due to a family grievance - Thankyou for helping me out I am extremely grateful.”
“Gleaming! Really happy that Ieva was able to step in and help us out last minute. She was really great with Doug and gave him ample enrichment and care during the hottest days of the year. She ensured that he was walked near rivers and gave him lots of frozen treats to try and beat the heat!”
“Georgia was a wonder! She kept my animals happy and well taken care of without any worries, my house was perfectly clean when I returned home from my holiday and she always kept me provided with pictures and updates. I would very much recommend her and use her services in the future. Thank you Georgia!”
“We honestly couldn’t recommend Jodie enough! She went above and beyond for our dogs, even coming to meet them beforehand which made us feel so much more comfortable. During the visit she was amazing with Minnie, who can get really anxious and woofy, and she handled her so kindly and patiently. Charlie and Minnie absolutely loved having her, and it was such a relief knowing they were being looked after so well. She’s so lovely, easygoing and easy to chat to, and she made the whole thing feel completely stress-free. We’ll definitely be booking her again! 🐾✨”
“Kathryn was great! We had a call before hand just to go over what she was getting herself in for and she was perfectly happy! Showed up on time on the morning and kept our pup entertained throughout a very long day! We were nervous of him being a little boisterous as he's not the smallest of puppies but she took it on her atride. We got updates with images throughout the day and came back to a very happy pup. Would deffo use again!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and owner of an 11-year-old cocker spaniel called Lucy, so I know just how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring for your pets. I’ve got experience walking and caring for a range of breeds, including Boxers, Rhodesian Ridgebacks and other energetic dogs, and I’m comfortable with everything from relaxed strolls to more active walks. Whether it’s a quick drop-in visit, feeding, playtime or a proper walk, I’ll make sure your dog is safe, happy and well looked after. I'm currently in the process of launching my own business so have plenty of availability whilst I get that off the ground! Currently available all day during the week and most weekends. I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits only, so I always care for pets in their own familiar environment. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, energy level and needs to make sure they feel safe, comfortable and happy while in my care. Whether it’s a walk, feeding visit or some company during the day, I’ll treat your pet like my own.
“Benji was very well looked after by Jess. Felt very comfortable leaving him with them even though he's a big dog. Had regular pictures and updates and communication excellent. House was also left in good condition. Would highly recommend!”
“Absolutely brilliant. Couldn't review high enough if I tried. Really accommodating, left the house lovely and really looked after my dog. He was so at ease and had an amazing time. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kaci and I will certainly be using her again!”

“So thankful for the love and care he gave Arlo when we left him for the first time. Gave us lovely updates throughout our holiday letting us know our boy was happy and well looked after. Can’t recommend enough and will defo use again.”
“Oliver was perfect , we really appreciated him looking after our spaniels. We had not used Rover before and i was nervous especially paying in full way in advance, however once i got used to the app and chatted to Oliver through the protected system it worked a treat ! Firstly well done Rover on your app ! But above and beyond thank you to Olivrr for arranging pre visit meeting shortly after booking ( several months in advance) Then a preparation visit where i showed him around my house and took him for a lical walk. He was so obliging and engaging, whe he first met my dogs the eldest was incontinent and it wasn’t an issue he cares about the responsibility of someone’s home and animals. Luckily by the time we holidayed the dog had got better but even so Oliver took the advised precautions to protect the floor overnight in case of accidents. The house was as clean and tidy as I left it and he had bought some flowers to welcome us back! I wouldn’t hesitate to re book , and I highly recommend Oliver for your pet care.”
“It was Bingo’s first time with Harriet. Bingo was very excited to see a new face & quickly settled with a chew. Harriet was really good with him & Bingo I’m sure loved having Harriet there with him.”
“Would absolutely recommend Sam’s services to anyone. She was incredibly friendly to us and our puppy and he had the best time at her house playing with her dogs. We were sent pictures and videos while we were away. Will definitely be using Sam again!”

As always, Tina was fantastic at looking after Bobbin. I received regular updates throughout the day, giving me peace of mind that he was being well looked after. He had a lovely day of walks, play time and cuddles 🥰 I would definitely recommend Tina to anyone who needs a reliable pet sitter 😊
Found Georgia a few weeks before I was going on holiday. Georgia is a gem of a find and absolute star. I was very nervous leaving my dogs I always am but having to find a sitter at short notice stress overload. Georgia was very understanding kept us updated by photos, videos and txt messages. We could tell the boys were fine by the interaction between them and the photos taken. Georgia was respectful and asked questions if she needed more information. Our home was clean and tidy Georgia even put out the bins for us. Our boys were so happy when we came back we knew they had a great time without us. Would def recommend and rebook again has completely put my mind to rest ty so much :) xx

Oliwia is wonderful with my young adult Lab. She met us in advance and they were instantly comfortable with each other. She understood how to read him and made sure to ask about all the important details I would have forgetten to share! I had absolutely no worries leaving them together. Oliwia did a perfect job and i’ll definitely book her again :)
Eve was a fantastic dog sitter and I couldn’t be happier. She stayed overnight at my house and took great care of Milo and Mollie. Milo is extremely nervous, but Eve put him at ease very quickly, which really meant a lot to me. Mollie loved the attention and definitely enjoyed her treats! Eve also took the dogs out for walks and made sure they were well looked after. She was very professional, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. I would absolutely recommend her and would happily book her again. 🐶🐾
We couldn’t have asked for better person to look after our beloved Linux while we were away for two weeks in Italy. From the moment Ying-Ying arrived, she made him feel loved, stimulated, and completely at ease. She stayed in our home full time and treated it with great respect, keeping everything tidy and making it feel like we never left. But most importantly, she was amazing with Linux! She truly went above and beyond! He received so much care, attention, and enrichment, including regular training sessions, playtime, and cuddles. We came home to a very happy and relaxed dog, which says everything. We’re so grateful for the love and effort Ying-Ying put into looking after him, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy, kind, and truly dog-loving sitter. Thank you so much ❤️ Linux already misses you!
