“Marjorie and her husband were amazing and accommodating from the beginning. We were let down last minute to look after our boy and she took him on. With updates and pictures every day and spoiling Winston and including him in every day life. A great bond was formed between them. Since we have been home, we have had one sulking boy for the first day or two back as he thoroughly enjoyed his time there that much. A nice big house, back field and near by woodland that he enjoyed daily to tire him out. Two lovely people with an evident love of animals and dogs. Rest assured, your dog will be looked after and loved as if one of their pets. We could not recommend highly enough and will always look to have Winston stay there when we are away in future. Thank you both so much”
“Baz made the whole process easy and stress free. He responded quickly to messages and he was flexible with drop off and pick up times. He instantly made Reggie feel at home and sent us daily photos and updates to let us know how settled he was. We can’t recommend Baz and his daughter enough and we would definitely rebook with him next time.”
“We’ve had a Stanley stay with Rachel a couple of times now and he’s loved staying with her and her family. They really fuss over and pamper him and send us regular pics and updates which is lovely. We can highly recommend Rachel and will definitely be using her again!”
“Mark and family are just fantastic. Daphne was looked after just like she had always been part of the family and loved having a big golden retriever buddy to run around after! We've rebooked already and I'm almost certain Daphne can't wait to stay again.”
“Thanks so much to Amy and her boy friend for taking great care of our pup Rudi for his first over night stay. Such a friendly couple and a lovely home. We loved receiving the photo updates and Rudi clearly had a great time with Skye. Would highly recommend Amy and we’ll definitely be booking in again.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover living in Higherford with my 14 year-old son, Billy. We both love spending time with dogs and treat every pet that stays with us as part of the family. We previously owned a lovely Whippet, so we understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog. We currently dog sit for friends and have loved every minute of it, so we’ve decided to open our home to more furry guests through Rover. Our home has a secure garden and is surrounded by beautiful countryside, making it the perfect place for plenty of walks, fresh air, and adventures. I enjoy fell walking and keeping fit, so your dog will get lots of exercise, attention, and affection. We also have our friendly tripod cat, Seth, who is used to dogs and can be kept completely separate from visiting pets if needed. I know every dog is different, so I’ll always do my best to stick to their usual routine and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family member! 🐶 I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m around for most of the day to provide plenty of company, care, and regular toilet breaks. This also means I can adapt to your dog’s usual routine, whether they enjoy long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company. Your dog will rarely be left alone and will receive lots of attention throughout their stay. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving home where dogs are treated like part of the family. I have front and back gardens for fresh air and outdoor time, along with a bright conservatory that’s perfect for dogs who love to relax and soak up the sunshine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so your dog will have plenty of company, regular toilet breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day.

“Amazing sitter, I can't recommend highly enough. Kept me up to date and definitely loved them both like her own. I wouldn't hesitate booking again in the future, once she's caught her breath again 🙈😂”
“Rose took excellent care of Ringo. She kept me updated with regular photos and messages of how he was getting along. She obviously loves dogs. I would recommend Rose to look after your dog.”
“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.”
“Leah looked after our dog Larry for two nights. All the way through she made things super easy and reassuring with amazing communication in the lead up and updates throughout his stay. She was confident in giving his medication too which was so helpful. On top of giving Larry the best possible care and lots of attention, Leah went above and beyond and was able to bring Larry to our weddings drinks reception. She dropped him off and collected him and was super flexible with the timings. So many other dog chaperone services charge hundreds for this, but Leah was so generous with her time and invested in making our day even more magical, all for her standard Rover rate. Thank you again Leah!!”

“This is the second time we have used Jazmine and we were really happy with her service. We got daily photos and found her responses to any messages were really prompt. She left all the cat areas lovely and clean for when we got back from holiday (litter tray and eating area). It’s lovely to have someone competent and trust worthy so when you go away you know your animals are well taken care of. We have already booked her for our next trip away :)”

About: Hi I’m Ellie! I am a 25 year old living in Clitheroe. I have grown up with my family cat since I was 12, until I recently moved out and only get to see him a couple times a week :( We have recently got a kitten of our own who’s called Beans 😁
About: I’ve taken care of lots of different breeds and ages of cats for a year now. I work at a cattery part time , which gave me the chance to learn cats behaviors and how they are all so unique and special. I also have experience visiting cats in peoples homes. I have experienced giving different medications to cats , whether that’s oral or topical.

About: To introduce myself, my name is John, and I am a retired civil servant with 32 years of service. I am still not yet at State Pension age, having taken early retirement because I am financially secure now. I have no children. I am a non-smoker. I am in good health, but now prefer the quieter side of life and enjoy activities at a slower, more relaxed pace. I like to think of myself as a calm, neat, and tidy person. I am friendly, easygoing, with a good sense of humour. I am confident and able to handle situations and any complications that may unexpectedly arise. I have a deep love for animals and a passion for travel. Now that I am retired, I have more time on my hands to visit new places, travel, explore the countryside, and eat out. And because I am retired now, generally, I have some flexibility with the dates around which bookings are made. So, if your planned dates to be away change somewhat, I should be able to fit in with any unexpected changes in your departure and return dates. I am happy to arrive shortly before you leave so that I can meet and receive any instructions on any special requirements regarding the house and pets. At the end of the assignment, I would be happy to buy some bread and milk, etc., for you if you don't have a chance to go shopping on your return. Why I want to house sit: Unfortunately, I have no pets of my own because I live in an over-55s residential development where pets are not allowed. I would love to look after other people's pets, but I will always be sad to pass them back to their owner(s) after a while. My principal aim will be to ensure that your home and beloved furry companion(s) are cared for with utmost devotion. I have a strong moral compass, instinctively knowing right from wrong whilst continuously upholding those principles. My love for animals is endless, as I cherish all precious creatures. I enjoy the experience of getting to know a new pet's personality, along with visiting new places and meeting new people. I am looking forward to immersing myself in this environment and providing assistance to pet owners. Creating a warm and caring environment is important to me, where one can feel like a cherished member of the family while respecting the responsibility of caring for other people's homes and their beloved animals. I would welcome the opportunity to care for your home, garden, and pets with care, consideration, and affection. My experience: I have previously completed a number of pet-sitting assignments and really enjoyed the experience. I appreciated the trust these homeowners had placed in me and wanted to make this process enjoyable for them, knowing I had taken care of their home and the precious animals. I can send you the homeowner's five-star reviews for you to view if you wish

About: I have 4 cats of my own, so I have lots of daily experience caring for them. I always choose the best quality food, keep everything clean, play with them and give them all the love they need. I also look after friends’ and neighbours’ cats when they are on holiday — visiting up to 3 times a day to feed them, clean their litter, play and cuddle them. Every cat is a special soul to me, and I care for them with all my heart, just like my own.

About: Dog lover doesn’t even cut it 🐕 My Grandma spent her life rehoming dogs of all kinds to the point of 20+ at any given time and my Mum is also a dog groomer with 20+ years of experience who currently has 8 dogs of her own. I’ve lived with, taken care of and owned dozens of different breeds throughout my life. So you could say that being a dog lover is in my blood! I regularly house sit for friends and family members, including the CEO of my business who owns a large farm with 3 dogs, 5 cats, sheep, chickens, rabbits and cows. She, like me, loves nothing more than her animals and puts her trust in me taking care of her beloved furry family members. If I am not free, she doesn’t go away, she doesn’t trust anyone else. Take a look through my gallery of photos and I hope my love and passion for dogs will be glaringly obvious! Your pets wellbeing is my upmost priority and I really hope to meet some of your furry family members very soon. I have a completely flexible full-time remote career on a working from home basis. I also have a full UK drivers license that I’ve had for over 12 years. I purchased my first home a couple of years ago. It is a semi-detached house with stairs and a fenced garden, we also keep the garden gate locked 90% of the time unless it’s bin day. I work from home so I am around all day to make sure they are well looked after and provide plenty of cuddles.
About: Hello! I have 6 years of hands-on experience caring for my dog, Buster, and I am equally comfortable looking after cats as I have owned them for 24 years. I understand that cats love their routines, whether that means energetic laser-pointer playtime or quiet cuddles. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, and litter box scooping to keep your kitty comfortable.

Thanks so much.”

About: Hi, I'm Justin and I am an established and experienced dog walker based in the Fulwood area of Preston. I cover the whole of the Preston area and it's suberbs. I have many varied places where I take my pups and they (and me!) have the best time! I tailor my approach to whatever you require, can keep on lead, take to certain places... Whatever you want then I can accommodate! My pack has pups of all different shapes, sizes and personalities! I've been established for a few years and now I am taking on new customers and would love for your pup to join me and have some fun and adventures! I offer 1 on 1 walks or sometimes 2 on 1 walks, this means that your dog gets my full attention and plenty of interaction. I offer meet and greets to establish my relationship with your dog and your dogs relationship to me and do these until we are fully comfortable with each other and ready to go out on adventures alone. I send regular photographs and video updates. Prior to dog walking I was a police officer for over 20 years before retiring, I am trustworthy, punctual, reliable, flexible and comfortable around all dogs and guarantee that your dog will be in good hands and we will have the best time together! You will have complete peace of mind knowing that your dog is with me having a ball and safe and being loved and cared for. My testimonials and photographs of my crew are attached so please check them out and if you have any questions then please don't hesitate to get in touch. Dog care is my passion and I do this full time and see my job as a privilege caring for dogs of all characters and I am lucky to know a number of walks and beautiful spots around local areas. I don't really see this as a job, it's so much fun! I have a number of longstanding customers who are delighted with my service. I tailor my individual approach to each customer as no 2 customers nor no 2 dogs are the same.
“Simone was absolutely wonderful with Leo today. She is incredibly patient, caring, and kind, and it is clear how much she genuinely loves working with dogs. Leo adores her and is always happy to see her, which gives us great confidence that he is in excellent hands. She does a fantastic job with his walks, ensuring he gets both exercise and attention while making the experience enjoyable for him. We are very grateful for her reliability, kindness, and dedication. We highly recommend Simone to anyone who wants their dog to be in the trusted hands of a genuinely kind, caring, and dependable person.”

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: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15. I had experience with diverse breeds. I worked as veterinary assitant in a local clinic. I can take care of basic medical needs during my visits or hosting your lovely dogs. I am currently working part time. I have planty of time to play with your pets. For dogs, I enjoy long morning walks and tennis ball exercises in the mornings. I can provide shorter afternoon walks and long evenings plays. I prefer to care your fur baby in their own place, but I can also host them in my home if needed. I have little fenced garden.

I am also free on the weekends At my home I care for my dog by having a fenced in garden but with plenty of space for her to run around and have fun
“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!”

“Baz made the whole process easy and stress free. He responded quickly to messages and he was flexible with drop off and pick up times. He instantly made Reggie feel at home and sent us daily photos and updates to let us know how settled he was. We can’t recommend Baz and his daughter enough and we would definitely rebook with him next time.”
“We could tell straight away that Teddy had been in a loving, caring environment. Teddy had a lovely time and was really happy when we picked him up. Sophie took fantastic care of Teddy during our 10 days away and kept us reassured with periodic updates on how he was doing. Will absolutely book again & would recommend highly!”
“Thank you for looking after my boy 🤗. Sharon is a lovely lady with a nice place and a secure garden, which was ideal for an older dog with mobility issues. There was no issue with any of my requests, and whenever I asked, I always received a reply assuring me that everything was fine. Unfortunately, I did not meet Steven, but that doesn't change the fact that they took good care of him. I will definitely use them again in the future if needed.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better couple to look after our dogs while we were away. From the moment we met them, they were warm, friendly, and clearly genuine animal lovers, which immediately put us at ease. They had the absolute best time — it was obvious they were well cared for, happy, and comfortable throughout their stay. We loved receiving updates and could tell they were being treated like part of the family. It’s such a relief knowing we can go away and trust that our dogs are in such kind and capable hands. We would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone and wouldn’t hesitate to book them again in the future.”
“We would love to thank Lesley & Howard for looking after Baxter for a full week. Regular updates and photos keeping us up to date with. Our bundle of joy looks to have had a great time. Thank you. 😀”
“Rosie was well looked after by Sue, she always seems so happy and content when she stays there and always keeps us so well informed throughout her stay. Will definitely rebook.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have had dogs and cats throughout my life, including a Labrador and a Cocker Spaniel, both of whom I helped raise from puppies. I’ve also had cats of my own. Over the years, I’ve looked after lots of different dogs for friends and family, including Labradors, Spaniels, Golden Retrievers, Saint Bernards and Bernese Mountain Dogs, so I’m comfortable with dogs of very different sizes, ages and personalities. I’m also a volunteer dog walker for a local dog charity and usually spend part of most weekends walking and spending time with the dogs there. I absolutely love animals and genuinely feel happiest with a dog around the house. I’m not in a position to commit to having my own dog at the moment, which is why dog sitting suits me so well. I get to enjoy having animals around while giving someone else the reassurance that their dog is being looked after by someone who genuinely loves having them there. I work from home the vast majority of the time, so pet care fits very naturally into my day. Because I’m home most of the day, pets would have plenty of company and wouldn’t be left alone for long periods. For dogs, a typical routine would usually include: * A morning walk * Another walk around lunchtime * An evening walk, depending on their usual routine and energy levels * Plenty of attention, company and cuddles throughout the day At weekends, I often go out for walks and generally have a fairly relaxed schedule, so any pet staying with me would very much be included in whatever I’m doing. My home is calm, quiet, child-free, pet-free and smoke-free, so it’s a lovely relaxed environment for pets to settle into. I have a fully secure yard for toilet breaks, as well as a park just five minutes from my home, so it’s very easy to get outside whenever needed. I’m very happy to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including: * Feeding times * Walks and toilet breaks * Sleeping arrangements * Any little habits that help them feel comfortable and at home If they normally sleep on the sofa, in the bedroom or even on the bed, that’s absolutely fine with me if their owner is happy with it. My main aim is to make any pet staying with me feel safe, relaxed, loved and genuinely at home.
“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 :)”
“First stay-over at Rafael’s, for my 2 dogs, Colin & Belle… Rafael was absolutely brilliant with my dogs & I picked them up all chilled out & happy… Rafael had walked them & played with them lots during the day & sent me video & pics of them, along with regular updates… Rafael made my 2 very comfy at night so they had a really good sleep!… Rafael was very attentive & caring to Colin & Belle and they really enjoyed their visit with her & I’ve already booked my next one!… I couldn’t recommend Rafael enough!”
“I was reluctant to leave my dog Ralph with a stranger at first. He is very much a loved member of the family. We was stuck as our daughter couldn't have him so I thought I'd give Rover a try, where we found Duncan (I didn't want him in the kennels). So glad I did. Ralph has had his very own holiday for a week! Duncan gave him so much love and attention, the daily updates as requested made us smile. You can tell he is an animal lover and takes his job very seriously. I hope in future Duncan has availability as he will be my first choice. 10/10 lovely guy”
“Thanks so much to Amy and her boy friend for taking great care of our pup Rudi for his first over night stay. Such a friendly couple and a lovely home. We loved receiving the photo updates and Rudi clearly had a great time with Skye. Would highly recommend Amy and we’ll definitely be booking in again.”
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was a small child. I grew up with Border Collies and now have my own collie x corgi who I cherish endlessly. Because of this, I have a strong understanding of high energy breeds and the importance of both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I’m confident handling dogs with different personalities and needs, from energetic and playful to more anxious or sensitive. I always take the time to get to know each dog individually so I can make sure they feel safe, comfortable and happy in my care. I’m reliable, patient and genuinely love spending time with dogs, whether that’s going on long walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. Their wellbeing is always my top priority, and I treat every dog as if they were my own (that means truly spoiling them). I’m currently working part-time, entirely from home which means I can ensure your pet gets the attention they need throughout the day and I can be flexible with their needs. We take our own resident pup on a big long walk in the evening! I have a small fenced in garden and a 1.5 year old small corgi collie cross to keep your furry friend company, though she can sometimes take a little while to warm up with other pooches. I live with my fiance too who helps with caring for your pet! I have good knowledge of dog body language so know when they need attention and equally space. I genuinely love and care for animals of all kinds so you can trust that your pup will be getting the most loving care!
“Wow what can I say. Angelika was so helpful from start to finish, Silva has never stayed with anyone else before and has had the best week, he's actually fuming we have now picked him up. He's been loved and looked after , walked , played with we have had regular contact and photos daily, we have all loved seeing his updates each day. Thankyou for everything we will be on touch very soon to book his next stay with you. ❤️”
“Nelly loves being with this family, she’s always grumpy when she comes home which helps me to know she is loved whilst she is there! Regular updates and just the sweetest people! Thank you as always 🫶🏽🤍🥺”
“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 😊”
About: Our experience with dogs 🐾 Ellie has always had dogs and has experience with a wide range of breeds, including rescue dogs with different backgrounds and needs. She also set up her own rescue, Praxie’s Promise, through which she has helped rehome hundreds of dogs. She is Canine First Aid trained and has a real understanding of how important it is to provide dogs with patience, care and a safe, loving environment. Gethin has always grown up around pets and has plenty of experience caring for dogs. Over the years, we have regularly looked after friends’ dogs, from walks and day-to-day care to having them stay with us while they're on holiday. Between us, we have a great deal of experience with dogs of different personalities, breeds and needs, and we want every dog staying with us to feel comfortable, settled and part of the family. We both work shifts, but Gethin works from home full-time, so there will always be someone around to care for your dog and provide company throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of attention, affection and company while staying with us. We’re both active people and enjoy getting out for walks, so we’re happy to provide as much exercise and outdoor time as your dog needs, whether that’s relaxed walks or something more energetic. We are both very flexible and happy to fit into your dogs schedule, whatever they need! We also have our own dog, Chevy, who is 11 years old and very calm and friendly. He is very adaptable to all kinds of dog personalities and is used to being around dogs with different temperaments and energy levels. We’ll make sure every dog staying with us gets the attention, exercise and care they need, while also giving them the space and time to settle in and feel comfortable. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always be our priority. We have a secure, dog-friendly home with a fully enclosed 5ft fenced garden, giving dogs safe access to fresh air and outdoor space throughout the day whenever they need it. As Gethin works from home, there will usually be someone around throughout the day, meaning dogs won’t be left alone for long periods. With Ellie’s extensive experience caring for and rehoming dogs, including rescue dogs with a variety of personalities you can feel confident that your dog is in experienced and caring hands. We have kept our own dogs safe for 20+ years and your dogs will be looked after like one of our own. We’ll introduce dogs to Chevy carefully and at their own pace. We’re happy to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible and will keep you updated during their stay, so you can relax knowing they’re happy, safe and well cared for.
