“Very happy with Zuzanna and clearly so are our two girls. House left clean and tidy. And pets happy which is everything. Would highly recommend but want to keep her for ourselves.”

“Louisa was lovely, knowledgeable and calm with our 11 week old pup! She stuck to the routine we gave her with some slight tweaks to suit our puppies needs that day which was great (putting her down for naps slightly earlier if overtired etc). Louisa visited beforehand to meet us and Lottie, where she asked great questions about her needs and routine. Definitely recommend!”

“Ellie was polite, professional and very caring with my 2 dogs and always kept me updated. She went above what was expected and treated my home with respect and consideration. I would happily recommend her and use her services again ☺️”

“Absolutely fantastic! One of dogs is extremely nervous and Johnnie went the extra mile in the run up to our holiday making sure she was comfortable with him and when one of the others caught his dew claw he organised the vet and the treatment immediately. The dogs absolutely love him and the peace of mind of being able to go away and not worry was priceless! I would not hesitate it booking Johnnie for our next trip.”

“What a wonderful experience! Martina could not have taken better care of Twix & sent some many pictures & updates on her stay. We would not hesitate to welcome her into our home again.”

“I honestly can't recommend Zak highly enough. Although Bennie (staffy rotty cross) is a big softy at heart, he can be a boisterous handful - he's still very young and loves to play. Zak made an effort to meet Bennie beforehand and understand all of his needs, he was incredibly attentive and Bennie adores him. Zak looked after Bennie in our home and we felt completely at ease knowing he was with him, he sent photos letting us know Bennie was having as good a time as we were. Zak was the perfect house guest and I'm so pleased we've found someone trustworthy and genuine who Bennie felt right at home with...I don't think he missed us at all :) Thanks again Zak”


About: Experienced and reliable dog carer with a strong background in both independent and structured settings. Previously ran a successful dog-walking business before transitioning into full-time travel, where I’ve spent the past three years pet-sitting and working with dogs across Asia, Australia, Central America, and South America. My experience includes caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs, as well as hands-on work in dog shelters in Mexico and Australia. Confident in handling multiple dogs, maintaining routines, and ensuring each animal receives attentive, individual care. Working full-time ( mon- fri) with a remote job, the job is not very demanding and doesn’t need me at my desk the whole time so in between tasks I can play around and let them out for a potty break. I care for pets in the owner’s home by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, keeping feeding times, walks, play, and rest consistent to reduce stress. I make sure they feel comfortable in their own environment by giving them attention, exercise, and mental stimulation suited to their personality and energy levels. I keep the home clean and organised, follow any specific instructions closely, and monitor their health and behaviour throughout. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pet is safe, settled, and well cared for in their absence.
About: Have played and looked after many animals and pets since I was young including cat sitting and dog walking. Love the outdoors, whatever the weather, especially when I'm with a furry friend. I Love animals, whether they're friends, family or a pet in need. Currently studying A levels and have 3 days of the week where I finish at 1, so am available earlier in the day on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. I have one after school commitment on Mondays from 7-9pm but am free after school the rest of the week. My weekends are free and am available for pet sitting. I am a trusted member of the community as I am a Guide leader in training, making me reliable, caring and considerate. I am a fun and playful person who will provide a good time for your pet but I can be authoritative and firm when needed.
“Isabelle was fantastic, she moved her world to take care of Daisy following an unfortunate situation that meant I had to go to hospital following an accident the night before. Isabelle and Daisy became great friends too in such a short space of time, I had to stop her getting into the car as Isabelle was leaving, all things considered it was a successful first meeting, and we are all looking forward to our next encounter.. 😂😂 seriously a lovely person with a great kindest for animals, it's the second experience on Rover and both have been truly satisfying. Keep up the good work you dog lovers 🥇”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats since my childhood. I’ve had many pets of all ages, adapting care to meet each of their needs attentively ! I can work from home so I am pretty much free and available any time on any day. I work until 4 on weekdays only with a lot of flexibility to provide all the care I need to. It’s not a barrier in caring for your pets at all, so I'm here should you need 24/7 care too. I care for pets safely in their own home, following routines closely to build trust and ensure a comfortable, secure comfort while respecting owners’ instructions
“Joanne looked after our young dog really well. She was attentive to Jodie’s need not to be left. They clearly had fun together and we came home to a healthy, happy dog. She looked after our house with great respect and left everything clean and tidy. Joanne kept us well informed about both Jodie and other things going on. We would here no hesitation in using her again or recommending her”

About: I recently volunteered in a dog shelter, working with all ranges of dogs, such as puppy’s to senior dogs to dogs that needed extra support. Responsibilities included feeding, walking, playing, cleaning kennels, socialising dogs, and assisting with general welfare needs. This experience strengthened my understanding of canine behaviour, patience, and the importance of providing compassionate, reliable care. I’ve recently returned from travelling and am currently looking for my next role, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my routine right now, allowing me to give dogs lots of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I have a secure fenced garden and live near lots of countryside, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor time for dogs that enjoy being active. I provide lots of attention, playtime, and care, while following each pet’s usual feeding, walking, and care routine to help them feel happy and comfortable both in my home and in their owner’s home.
About: Hello I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have been dog sitting for friends and neighbours the past 4 years before finally joining Rover. I adore dogs but not quite ready to take the leap to own one myself just yet as I travel a lot. I have soo many cuddles to give your pup! I usually work from home so your pet with get constant cuddles and love. I am happy to follow most requirements/requests from dog owners to ensure both pet and owner are happy with the pet being in my care. I do have a fenced garden and the dogs usually feel at home straight away here. I ensure they get lots of attention and cuddles. I really want to make sure that you enjoy your time away, trusting that your dog is loved. I will send a few updates and always have my phone on hand. I love capturing cute moments during their stay and sharing them with the owners.
About: I’ve always loved animals and grew up with pets, but my real hands-on experience began when I rescued my Spanish Greyhound, Luna, in 2020. She came from a difficult start. Found on the streets and never having lived in a home, so building her confidence, routine, and trust has been an incredibly rewarding journey. She’s now a happy, well-adjusted dog and a huge part of my life. Through caring for Luna, I’ve developed a strong understanding of patience, consistency, and reading a dog’s behaviour, especially with more sensitive or nervous dogs. While I’m at the beginning of offering pet care professionally, I regularly look after pets for friends and family, and I genuinely love spending time with animals of all personalities. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care. It’s not just about walks or feeding, it’s about trust, routine, and making sure they feel safe and happy. That’s exactly what I aim to provide. I’m reliable, attentive, and will always treat your pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting, I’m here to give you peace of mind and your pet the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I currently work full time so the majority of my availability would be in the evenings during the week, I also have availability all day over weekends. I have a fenced garden and have my own dog that is very sociable with others to keep them company on walks. I’m also happy to visit your home and spend time with your animal in their own environment as I know not all dogs are comfortable in new places.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine lifelong love and experience with animals. I grew up with five cats and a Springer Spaniel–Jack Russell cross called Eddie, so I’m very comfortable with pets of all kinds and personalities. My boyfriend and I also regularly take care of our friends’ two dogs — one small and one medium-sized — so I’m used to handling different sizes, temperaments, and routines. I’m patient, reliable, and make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well looked after while their owners are away. I’ve always dreamed of having my own pet day care, surrounded by lots of happy animals every day. Caring for pets is something that truly brings me joy — it’s not just a job, it’s something I love doing. Whether I’m walking dogs, playing with kittens, or just keeping pets company while their owners are away, I always treat them like my own. Me an my boyfriend work part time so we have some availability for house sitting and pet care. We can easily fit in walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day and we make sure they have company, comfort, and attention. When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I always follow their normal routine — including feeding times, walks, play, and any special care instructions. I know how important consistency is for animals, so I make sure they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I give them plenty of attention, affection, and playtime, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos for peace of mind. When pets stay with me, they have access to a secure, fenced garden that’s perfect for safe outdoor time, as well as several nearby parks for walks and play. I’m around throughout the day to keep them company and make sure they get the care and attention they need. I live with my boyfriend who also has a Rover account and is experienced in pet care. I also have a basic DBS.
About: I have about 5 years experience looking after my mother in-laws dog. He is a cross between a labrador and a husky, he was rescued from the streets of Romania, at 4 months old. I feed him, give him treats, I change his water, take him out for walks & I play with him. At the moment I'm available immediately to come & look after your furbabies, whether it's a visit or pet sitting overnight. I'm really looking forward to sharing my love for them all. I will only be able to visit your home, as I have 3 cats of my own. This way I can pay them more attention in your own home, or take them for walks if this is their normal routine.
About: I've always had a love for animals and can't help but to fall in love with every one that I meet! There's many reasons why you may need someone to help out and I understand the importance of finding (and trusting) the right person to care for your beloved fur babies. All I can say is that I will care for and love your pet(s) like they were my very own. I have a cat myself who has completley changed my life for the PAWsitive and in turn I have taught myself all about how their minds work and what helps them to thrive. Love definitely isn't an issue, but I know there are other important factors - I'm very detailed orientated and organised and will make sure that the care your pet receives falls into what you, as their parent, want and need! Working in a vet has given me knowledge about dogs and cats that I can utilise to maintain a happy, wholesome and most importantly, safe environment! I am home most of the time, so my daily/weekly schedule is very flexible. You let me know what works for you and we can take it from there! I can follow any specific requirements, such as dietary needs, specific times for walks/feeding, health issues and medication etc, so that their routines aren't disrupted and there won't be any issues once you are reunited!

Millie looked after our pets really well whilst we were away. It was the first time we’d left them with anyone other than family and she was amazing even with our youngest who can try to wrap you round his little paw at times. They obviously adored her and she treated them as though they were her own. She provided daily feedback and pictures which was lovely to see. Would definitely use again in the future.

Louisa was fantastic with Paco , taking him for regular walks , daily photos so I could see he was ok , she really became part of the family I would say if you want someone to look after your pet while you are away Louisa is your best person to turn to , totally amazing

Sabrina is an absolute superstar! She looked after our Milo and our home for 10 days and kept in touch daily. Milo was super happy and comfortable with Sabrina and even now his tail wags when I say her name! Thank you so much for looking after our fur baby. Will definitely be booking Sabrina for walks and stays in the future!

I honestly can't recommend Zak highly enough. Although Bennie (staffy rotty cross) is a big softy at heart, he can be a boisterous handful - he's still very young and loves to play. Zak made an effort to meet Bennie beforehand and understand all of his needs, he was incredibly attentive and Bennie adores him. Zak looked after Bennie in our home and we felt completely at ease knowing he was with him, he sent photos letting us know Bennie was having as good a time as we were. Zak was the perfect house guest and I'm so pleased we've found someone trustworthy and genuine who Bennie felt right at home with...I don't think he missed us at all :) Thanks again Zak

Danielle came across very professionally throughout, she was quick to respond and took the time to come over and meet us and our dogs before the booking. On the day she arrived on time, and took into account all our instructions. Our dogs were very happy with her and well looked after!

It was an absolute pleasure to have Reece dog sit over the weekend! He was wonderful with Stan, who can be a bit difficult with new people, but they got on straight away and it really put our minds at ease knowing we left him in such great hands. The house was left spotless and we will definitely be using him to look after Stan again :)
