“This is the first time we have left our dog Tia with anyone for a week, but now we have found Marnie and Eddie we wouldn't hesitate to leave her again. We had regular video and photo updates of Tia's mini holiday, so this helped us to enjoy holiday, know that see was being well cared for. Since we've come home, Tia's been very quite and we think she definitely missing them. We can't highly recommend and thank Marnie and Eddie enough, for giving Tia a loving home for a week.”
“Elena really helped me out short notice to look after Odin. She gave me update and a nice video of him out on a walk, he came back a very happy boy. Would definitely recommend Elena to look after your furbaby and shall be happy to use her service again.”
“Very polite and knows what she’s doing and it’s clear she’s got lots of experience. She was very accommodating for our dog. Also very fast at communicating on here too. Without doubt I would have violet look after our dog again and I would definitely recommend others to :)”
“Dan was wonderful! Great communication from start to finish, very friendly and flexible on timings which was hugely helpful. Our dog Winston had a wonderful time and Dan kept contacted me throughout the day with updates and photos which was so thoughtful and reassuring! Would defo use Dan again - thanks!”
“Jessica and Lewis were amazing with our two whippets. Lots of exercise and lots of love was given to my dogs, that I could see on the daily morning and evening updates. When we went to pick them up, after jumping on us, they went back to Jessica and Lewis for cuddles on the sofa and that told me everything I needed to know. I have one dog that isn’t a fan of strangers and she was definitely at ease and relaxed with them which is a testament to the kindness and love they showed her. 💖💖 Their dog Ralph was a wonderful friend to my dogs as well 😊”
“From the very start we knew Lola was going to be well looked after by Alex and Madeline. She took to them immediately and it seemed the feeling was mutual. They were super thorough in every way, including a detailed questionnaire, clarification of all requirements, gave us information and asked us all our preferences. It was clear she was in safe hands. Lola is on meds and that was handled superbly. She clearly had a great time and we were sent updates which were really cute! In all Lola had a great time and we felt completely confident she was in good hands. Will definitely be coming back! Thank you so much Alex and Madeline!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have experience caring for cats and always treat them like family. I’ve looked after cats for family, friends and neighbors for years I work full-time from home, so the pet is never alone. I have ragdoll cat myself which is over two years old. When I finish work after 5, I normally go to the gym which takes me around 1,5h or shopping and that’s basically it. I live in a two-bedroom house, so your cat will have plenty of space. I’m happy to let them roam freely around the house or keep them in a separate room (my home office) if that’s what you prefer. I’ll always follow your cat’s routine and your preferences.
“5 stars out of 5, I could not recommend Zach enough and will be rebooking in close future! Before boarding we had 2 meets and greets with his lovely husky Oreo to make sure her and Ruby are friendly! As a helicopter parent I get worried a lot about my fur babies but Zach provided the right amount of updates and reassurance and I didn’t have a thing to worry about. Zach is super knowledgeable about dogs, their feeding and behaviour as well as accommodates your and your pups needs to a T so know your pup will be very well looked after. Thank you again! :)”
About: What I offer I will be offering walking dogs from your door and I will be sitting dogs I will feed them if they need it I can put meds in if they need it. But I can’t do injections. If I look after your pet over night I will take it on night walk feed them and make sure I take some time to play and then relax on sofa in front of tv. About myself I am a loving person who loves pets like there my own. I look after big dog small dog all kinds happy to meet. Just one press away from a well look after pet. I am currently unemployed so am free all week and weekend. I am a healthy fit girl that will take them out regularly so there happy for the night day afternoon. I have a big flat I have a garden but it’s not fence but I have a massive field just a stone throw away so they’ll be out and about.
“This was our first time using Nathan and it was a last minute booking but he was kind, responsive and accommodating! We got regular updates about Roxie and I’m sure she had an enjoyable time! Will definitely be rebooking with Nathan.”
“What an amazing dog mad young couple! Their house is completely set up for the job and Cody had a blast! I had no worries about Cody whilst he was there and was sent regular updates of him from galloping through woods to having a snuggle on the couch! I was impressed with the questions Daniel asked to make sure he knew as much about Cody and his routine, likes and dislikes. 100% recommend although I don’t want to recommend too much so they will have space for Cody again! Lol. Thanks again Daniel!”
“Daphne has now stayed with Mark and Phoebe a few times and she just loves her time there - especially getting to run around with her bestie Dug. She's a very attached little dog, but barely even glances back at me once we're at their house! We couldn't ask for better care for Daff, and it gives real peace of mind knowing that we have the best sitters near by.”
About: Hi, I’m Gabby! I’m 30 years old and a lifelong dog lover. I’ve grown up around dogs and I’m now the proud owner of my own cockapoo, Marley, who is 14 months old. Dogs are a huge part of my everyday life, and when I say my life revolves around them, it genuinely does! I love giving dogs the care, attention, exercise and affection they need to feel happy, relaxed and loved. Alongside caring for Marley, I regularly look after my dad’s two cockapoos (aged 14 months and 2 years old) when he’s working or away, as well as occasionally helping with my sister’s dog. I’m very comfortable caring for multiple dogs at once and understanding that every dog has their own personality, routine and individual needs. Marley is a very friendly, playful and sociable dog who loves meeting and spending time with other dogs. He is used to being around different breeds and personalities, which means any dog staying with us will have a friendly companion to enjoy walks, playtime and relaxation with (where appropriate). My dogs are walked several times a day, with at least four walks daily, alongside plenty of playtime, enrichment and outdoor adventures. I love being outdoors and spend a lot of my free time exploring the countryside, walking in the Lakes and going on hikes, so your dog will have plenty of opportunities for fun adventures and stimulating walks. I understand that dogs need more than just exercise — they need companionship, patience, mental stimulation and lots of affection. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different temperaments and energy levels, from energetic dogs who love exploring, to those who prefer a calmer environment with lots of reassurance and cuddles. I work from home full time, which means I can offer lots of company, attention and flexibility throughout the day. Your dog will be welcomed into a caring environment where they can feel safe, comfortable and part of the family, with very little time spent alone. I know how much trust is involved when leaving your dog with someone, so I’ll always treat your pet as if they were my own. I’ll make sure they are happy, settled and well cared for, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you have peace of mind while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your dog and provide them with a fun, safe and loving experience! **A typical day with me** Your dog can expect a fun, relaxed and loving home\-from\-home experience that fits around their usual routine. I do understand every dog is different, so I’ll always take the time to learn their personality, habits, exercise needs and any little quirks! My day with Marley usually involves plenty of outdoor time, with walks in the morning, afternoon, evening and a final walk later in the evening. Walks are typically around 30–40 minutes and include plenty of opportunities for sniffing, exploring, play and enrichment. Where appropriate and with your permission, I’m also happy to include safe off lead time in suitable areas. I have a large fenced garden which gives dogs plenty of space to relax, play and enjoy some fresh air throughout the day. As I work from home full time, your dog will have lots of company, attention and regular interaction rather than being left alone for long periods. I love being outdoors and spend a lot of my free time walking, hiking and exploring the countryside, so dogs who enjoy adventures will have lots of fun! Marley is also very friendly and sociable and loves having other dogs around, so your dog can enjoy the company of a canine friend if they are comfortable with that! Throughout the day there will be a balance of walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles and relaxing. I will keep the routine as normal as possible to the home life so they feel safe, happy and settled while they’re with me. I understand that leaving your dog with someone is a big decision, and I know how important it is to feel confident that they are in safe and caring hands. Having grown up around dogs and being a dog owner myself, I understand that every dog is unique and has their own personality, routine and individual needs. I always take the time to get to know each dog and make sure they feel comfortable, settled and cared for. Your dog will be joining a calm, dog-friendly home where Marley is the only dog living here. He is a very happy and friendly dog who enjoys having canine company. We also have a large, fully fenced garden that dogs can enjoy safely, and there are no children in the home. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always be my priority. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding routines, exercise preferences and any specific requirements that help your dog feel happy and secure. I know how much dogs mean to their owners, so I’ll treat every dog with the same love, patience and attention that I would want for my own. I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos, giving you peace of mind that your dog is enjoying their time with me and receiving the best possible care.
“Bethany has been amazing since my first contact with her and then all the way through the process of meeting her and letting Peanut see her house and then actually looking after my Peanut. Peanut gelled with her instantly. She has been so caring towards my dog and even sent us pictures and messages during her stay. Peanut even wanted cuddles from Bethany before we could take her home on Monday.I can't thank her enough and I definitely Highly recommend Bethany to look after anyone's dog. Thank you Bethany.”

“Jennifer was excellent! A pre meet between the two of us to talk through where things were, what times and days Jennifer would visit and an opportunity to meet Doris, all of which gave us comfort in knowing Doris would be in safe hands while we were away. Jennifer sent daily updates and photos so we could see for ourselves that Doris was OK and get some attention in our absence. Jennifer was very responsive, which was great. We’d definitely ask Jennifer to ‘cat sit’ again and would highly recommend. A lovely young lady!”

“Louis did a fantastic job with our cat Pumpkin. He was responsive throughout the process and provided daily updates that were relevant and helpful. Louis was also flexible and was happy to do an extra visit when we were worried that Pumpkin was not eating enough. Furthermore, when Pumpkin made a mess, Louis took the initiative to clean it up as well. Louis arrived on time and notified us of any delays promptly. Louis fed and played with Pumpkin and also cleaned his litter well. We also felt that Louis was very comfortable and affectionate towards Pumpkin and it seems Pumpkin also took a liking to him! We will definitely book Louis again to look after our cat!”

About: I have two very well trained and behaved dogs, Wispa and Mavis, and lifelong experience of dog ownership. I can accommodate all types of friendly dog into usual walks and I drive to a large enclosed field at least once daily, with a separate park walk too. Love dogs, enclosed garden, won't be left any longer than you feel comfortable. Your dogs will have their own room at night I work at home so I'm always around the house. Lunchtime walk nearby and a long evening off lead walk (if allowed) at an enclosed field is our routine, as my dogs have a lot of energy to burn off. Dogs have an enclosed back garden, and I have a large front garden too. Your dog will have its own room at night away from our dogs. Lots of attention and won't be left any longer than you say. I have two dogs, Wispa and Mavis, who I see all day working from home. I walk my dogs at least twice daily, lunchtime and evening, and they are seldom left. I have a car so drive out for a walk every evening in an enclosed space to throw a ball. I have always owned dogs and have experience with many breeds and sizes. My spare room will be your dog's in the evening for the stay, away from my dogs.

About: Hello! Unlike some other sitters on Rover, i have a year of dog sitting experience and work experience in a kennels, cattery, riding school and small animal vet clinic. I have been caring for dogs ever since 2012 when i was around seven years old and have also had some experience with rabbits and birds around the age of 4 years old. During my work experience, i have learnt how to analyse basic animal behaviour well and have learnt how to follow a schedule of feeding times, medicine that need to be administered and how to meet the needs of both dogs and cats. I’ve helped with grooming and bathing at the kennels and i am patient at all times, giving space to animals when they need it. I am the type of pet sitter to give some advice to owners if i feel it may benefit the owners and the pet. For example, if i see your dog eats too quickly, i might recommend a slow feeding bowl to reduce chances of things such as GDV happening to your dog. I have helped two owners during my time as a pet sitter as i have noticed medical issues in their dogs such as signs of a urinary infection or epulis. If you do not want advice, please let me know beforehand as i do not tolerate rude behaviour. Im currently available at all times so whatever type of schedule you would like for your pet, i can work around. When a dog is in my own home and is sleeping over, i sleep nearby to make sure that they are comfortable and safe as that is my first priority. I give every dog at least one walk a day (or more if you would like) In my own home, i have an attached house which is kept clean at all times and it has a back garden with tall fences and no grass. Its a relatively big garden with lots of plants and vegetables around. I do have a dog of my own in the house who’s an eight year old Sproodle who is playful but is no threat to other dogs as she loves to greet them no matter the age. She is gentle with puppies and sleeps in her own bed in the kitchen. In my house, i live with two sisters and my mother. No matter the house im caring for your pet in, i will stick to a schedule and your rules however you prefer. I will make sure your pet is entertained and cared for well and will return home happy!

“Using rover for the first time due to unexpected changes. I was abit skeptical as Theo is only a pup and we were both going into the unknown but he was well looked after. Melissa sent pictures throughout the day and kept me informed. I would definitely recommend. Thanks again”
“Really lovely couple in a great dog friendly environment. I discussed the basics with Jack on arrival and he gave me lots of confidence that he was more than capable of dealing with Ted who is a strong minded little dog. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Ted in again. Thank you so much for taking care of Ted for us.”

I have experience with slightly larger breeds such as male staffies and pit bulls as I have grown up with them since I was 7, I have also looked after puppies before (less than 1 years old, not less than a month old etc.) I am willing and capable to care of a young pup. I have looked after many cats and understand some are not as sociable, I am patient. I am no stranger to being nibbled by puppies and giving them extra play time / longer walks to tire them out, I also understand older dogs need a more relaxed approach. I have recently finished college and I have much more spare time, as such an animal enthusiast I figured this would be the perfect opportunity. I wake up early and complete daily chores around the house and feeding / walking my own pets. I also sell online so I will often be posting parcels, I am 18 with a full driving licence and my own vehicle so transport is no issue! I am available all throughout the day. I have been trusted multiple times with peoples house keys and being able to let myself in / lock up their homes to watch over their pets. Our garden is fenced off and pretty decent space wise, we also have toys at home that have never been touched as our dog is not interested, we have a large crate if necessary and other dog beds, we have a guest room that can be used for your pet. We always have treats and multiple water bowls available. The back garden is safe and we do not take the dogs on the front garden unless they are on a lead.
“My dog was very happy and well looked after with Karen who treated her as her own. She sent me a video of Cleo and she had toys and I could tell she had a great time when I went to pick her up. I will definitely be booking her again x”

About: As a veterinary medicine university student, I can guarantee your pets will be in safe hands with me! I worked in a doggy daycare for a year in 2024 and have volunteered in 2 vets’ practices, giving me plenty of experience to care for your beloved pets. I am a previous animal management student (achieved level 3 Distinction), I am very knowledgeable about care for dogs and cats and their needs, which I would be honoured to provide to your pets. I have had a passion for dogs and cats since I was very young and would be honoured to give the care your pets deserve. I am currently free every day of the week, however come September 21st I will be in University Mon-Thur therefore I am free Fri-Sun after that date. When caring for pets in their own home, I will always prioritise their safety, comfort and wellbeing. I will follow the owner’s instructions carefully and make sure doors, gates and the home are secure to prevent pets from escaping or getting into anything unsafe. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take time to build trust at their pace and provide plenty of positive attention, reassurance and companionship. I will keep their usual feeding, exercise, medication and toilet routines as consistent as possible to minimise stress. I will also make sure their environment stays clean, calm and comfortable, while giving them appropriate enrichment and allowing them space when they need it. I will keep owners updated with messages and photos (upon your approval) so that you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy and well cared for while your are away.
About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life. Sally was the first - a Jack Russel cross with fox terrier (we think). She was with us until the grand age of 20. During this time we also had Lucy an older rescue dog. I now have Simba, who is a crazy springer Spaniel. My dog is my baby and I would treat your dog with the same care and attention. If you have specific requirements or you have any questions please feel free to message. I am currently working as part of the emergency services however I will be leaving in August for a role with a better work-life- balance. I will not show my self available if I am not able to dedicate the time for your dog. I am flexible to you and your dogs needs. I am available to look after your dog in your home and if you just need your dog walking whilst you are at work, ill or otherwise unavailble then that is where I can assist.
“Sarah was able to facilitate walking Maple last minute and was absolutely fabulous! Sarah not only walked Maple but filled up her water bowl and gave her a kong following the walk. We loved all the photo updates, Maple looked so happy on her walk! Highly recommend, thank you Sarah x x”
About: I have two cats and one dog of my own, so I truly understand how much pets mean to their families. I grew up with cats and have cared for them my whole life — from playful kittens to older, more independent cats. I also volunteer at a local doggy day care, where I help look after dogs of all breeds and sizes. On top of that, I take my own dog to training classes, so I’m confident handling dogs with different personalities and energy levels. Whether it’s keeping your cats comfortable at home or making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and fun, I treat every pet like my own — with patience, care, and lots of love. I work full-time for the NHS on a bi-weekly shift pattern, so my schedule stays the same every two weeks. This means I know exactly when I’m available in advance, and I can plan regular or one-off bookings with plenty of notice. I keep my calendar updated so you always know when I’m free for dog walks, cat visits, or last-minute help. My consistent routine means your pet’s care will always be reliable and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I have experience handling animals in different environments — from my own home with my two cats and dog, to volunteering at a busy doggy day care. I know how to keep pets calm, secure, and happy, whether we’re out on a walk, playing at home, or just having a quiet cuddle. You can trust that I’ll always follow your instructions exactly — from feeding routines and medication to special quirks that make your pet feel at ease. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you always know how your pet is doing. I understand how important it is to leave your furry family member with someone reliable, caring, and responsible — and I promise to treat them like my own in a safe, loving environment
About: I have two very well trained and behaved dogs, Wispa and Mavis, and lifelong experience of dog ownership. I can accommodate all types of friendly dog into usual walks and I drive to a large enclosed field at least once daily, with a separate park walk too. Love dogs, enclosed garden, won't be left any longer than you feel comfortable. Your dogs will have their own room at night I work at home so I'm always around the house. Lunchtime walk nearby and a long evening off lead walk (if allowed) at an enclosed field is our routine, as my dogs have a lot of energy to burn off. Dogs have an enclosed back garden, and I have a large front garden too. Your dog will have its own room at night away from our dogs. Lots of attention and won't be left any longer than you say. I have two dogs, Wispa and Mavis, who I see all day working from home. I walk my dogs at least twice daily, lunchtime and evening, and they are seldom left. I have a car so drive out for a walk every evening in an enclosed space to throw a ball. I have always owned dogs and have experience with many breeds and sizes. My spare room will be your dog's in the evening for the stay, away from my dogs.
About: Growing up our house was home to a number of different breeds of dogs that we loved and cared for very much. I've had a good exposure to varying temperaments and behaviours. Currently I'm a med student who attends university in Bristol Monday to Friday and the rest of my time is usually spent at home studying. I’m based in Bedminster but I have a car I can use if needed to drive out a little further for any dog walking or house-sitting requests.
“Louis was great with Minnie, she is wary of unfamiliar people but took to Louis straight away and she really enjoyed her walk she's nice and settled now! I booked last minute and Louis was very accommodating, I will definitely book with you again, appreciate it thank you 😊”

“Jade was amazing with Caesar, she came to meet him in the week before taking him out so he was familiar with her, and we knew he would be in safe hands with Jade! She took him on a few walks and sent lots of pictures of him having the best time and hope he can play out with her again soon!”

About: Lifelong dedication to caring for cats and dogs, backed by extensive personal experience. Regularly house-sitting for friends and family has honed my skills in providing attentive and reliable care. My track record includes successfully retraining older stray cats for happier, more sociable lives, and assisting with the litter training and feeding of multiple young puppies at my local RSPCA branch. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my weekly routine. I work full time as a hybrid project manager which affords me the flexibility to work from home three to four days a week, enabling me to provide attentive care to pets throughout the day. With a full clean driving license and no major commitments, I can easily accommodate pet sitting appointments and ensure that each pet receives the care and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in my home or a pet owner's home, safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are my top priorities. In my Mellor home, I have a large house with plenty of space for pets to roam and play. While we have a spacious garden, I am vigilant about supervising pets to ensure their safety, especially considering the adjacent road. Rest assured, I never leave a pet unsupervised in the garden. I maintain a clean and hygienic environment, free from hazards, to keep pets safe and healthy while providing plenty of love and attention.

“Elena really helped me out short notice to look after Odin. She gave me update and a nice video of him out on a walk, he came back a very happy boy. Would definitely recommend Elena to look after your furbaby and shall be happy to use her service again.”
“Very polite and knows what she’s doing and it’s clear she’s got lots of experience. She was very accommodating for our dog. Also very fast at communicating on here too. Without doubt I would have violet look after our dog again and I would definitely recommend others to :)”
“Dan was wonderful! Great communication from start to finish, very friendly and flexible on timings which was hugely helpful. Our dog Winston had a wonderful time and Dan kept contacted me throughout the day with updates and photos which was so thoughtful and reassuring! Would defo use Dan again - thanks!”
“Jessica and Lewis were amazing with our two whippets. Lots of exercise and lots of love was given to my dogs, that I could see on the daily morning and evening updates. When we went to pick them up, after jumping on us, they went back to Jessica and Lewis for cuddles on the sofa and that told me everything I needed to know. I have one dog that isn’t a fan of strangers and she was definitely at ease and relaxed with them which is a testament to the kindness and love they showed her. 💖💖 Their dog Ralph was a wonderful friend to my dogs as well 😊”
“From the very start we knew Lola was going to be well looked after by Alex and Madeline. She took to them immediately and it seemed the feeling was mutual. They were super thorough in every way, including a detailed questionnaire, clarification of all requirements, gave us information and asked us all our preferences. It was clear she was in safe hands. Lola is on meds and that was handled superbly. She clearly had a great time and we were sent updates which were really cute! In all Lola had a great time and we felt completely confident she was in good hands. Will definitely be coming back! Thank you so much Alex and Madeline!”
“5 stars out of 5, I could not recommend Zach enough and will be rebooking in close future! Before boarding we had 2 meets and greets with his lovely husky Oreo to make sure her and Ruby are friendly! As a helicopter parent I get worried a lot about my fur babies but Zach provided the right amount of updates and reassurance and I didn’t have a thing to worry about. Zach is super knowledgeable about dogs, their feeding and behaviour as well as accommodates your and your pups needs to a T so know your pup will be very well looked after. Thank you again! :)”

“What an amazing dog mad young couple! Their house is completely set up for the job and Cody had a blast! I had no worries about Cody whilst he was there and was sent regular updates of him from galloping through woods to having a snuggle on the couch! I was impressed with the questions Daniel asked to make sure he knew as much about Cody and his routine, likes and dislikes. 100% recommend although I don’t want to recommend too much so they will have space for Cody again! Lol. Thanks again Daniel!”

“We couldn't of wished for a better place for our little Bailey to stay. He is a king charles cavalier who is only just 9 months old and very clingy so we were anxious about leaving him for the first time. Mark and Natalie were both amazing right from the start. Bailey settled into their family home no problem. We were sent daily photos and message updates of how he was getting on with his new little pals 🐶🐾🐕 They cooked their own fresh food for him every day which he loved. They took exceptionally good care of him especially in the latest heatwave. We couldn't be more happy we have found Mark and Natalie for Bailey and have already booked them again for our next holiday 😊”
“We're very happy with the care our dog received staying with Larissa and will definitely be booking with her again. As this was the first time we have used an online boarding service and the first time leaving our dog we were a bit unsure how she would react to boarding. We needn't have worried, she didn't seem stressed in any way when we picked her up which says to me she was well cared for. Very happy with Rover and happy to recommend Larissa.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 13, and my love for animals started even earlier when one of my first jobs was working on a farm. I enjoy getting to know all types of dogs and their unique personalities, and nothing makes me happier than spending time with them. I can’t wait to meet some new four-legged best mates! I’m currently working part time on a zero hour contract so I have many available hours to provide the best care for your pets. I have a full UK driving license so travel isn’t a problem for me either. I will be sure to carefully follow any instructions given to me to provide tailored care to your pet as I know all dogs can be different. I live in a semi detached house with a good sized back garden securely kept with walls and fences. I currently don’t have any pets as mine recently sadly passed away after 12 years, I’m ready to look after a pet again without the full commitment
“Scarlett is a natural with dogs,when my blue first went to meet and greet her she was so comfortable with her,my dog normally runs away from people shes so timid but with scarlett she was so comfortable im happy with scarlett she takes care of blue brilliantly im so pleased.😊”
“Elizabeth kept me informed with updates and photos of the dogs, and cared for them like her own. She hand fed the doggos when they were a bit slow to eat, and she allowed them both to sleep in her room. Her dog Theo is gorgeous and was playful and gentle with my two. I would definitely use Elizabeth again and highly recommend her. Thanks Elizabeth!”
