“Jonathan was an absolutely amazing sitter! We contacted him quite last min to look after our gorgeous big lad whilst we went to get wed and he was just so helpful and really coordinated spending loads of time with our Drax around his schedule! He kept us updated with pictures and messages whilst we were away and we have come home to a very happy dog! Would absolutely recommend and we will definitely be booking Jonathan again for when we need a pet sitter ☺️”


“We had the pleasure of having Simone stay in our home for 8 days to look after our dog Leo, and we couldn’t be more grateful. After having Leo for over six years, this was the first time I felt truly at ease going on a trip all thanks to Simone. She did a wonderful job, following every instruction perfectly, keeping our home tidy, and most importantly, caring for Leo with genuine love and attention. She kept us regularly updated, and it was clear Leo was happy and comfortable. Simone is responsible, kind, and incredibly trustworthy. We would welcome her back anytime without hesitation. Highly recommended!”


“Jackie looked after our 2 dogs whilst we were away for 2 nights. She sent lots of photos and updates and the dogs were well looked after. The house was clean and tidy when we got home and we would definitely ask Jackie back in the future.”


About: I’ve looked after animals my entire life! My love for animals lead me to do a level 3 Animal management course in college! I then went onto study animal behaviour and welfare in University. While studying, I worked at a doggy day care. I cared for many dogs at the day care, including a wide range of breeds, ages and sizes. Doing this really give me an understand of the care needed at their different stages of life. After university, I then completed a dog grooming course and started working in a dog grooming salon. This gave me the opportunity to work 1-1 with each dog. Though this, I experienced many different behaviours, from anxious and nervous to reactive and aggressive. Also though dog grooming, I’ve worked with puppies all the way to senior dog and I’ve leant the best ways to deal with dogs at the different stages of life. I also did volunteer work at a vet practice, and I am also dog first aid trained. The welfare of the animals will always be my top priority! I am already doing dog walking and pet sitting outside of rover! Currently, I have complete availability of when I can pet sit! I would love to carry on with in this field of work and hopefully make it my full time job! I will always listen to what the owner says no matter what. If there are any concerns from me, I will always communicate them to make sure your pets are in the absolute best care. I am dog first aid trained, and I also have a car so if any vet tips were needed for any reason, I can get your pet there quickly and safely.

About: Experience training large breeds, reactive dogs and recent puppy training experience. Experience with Springer Spaniels, Dobermans, Bully Breeds, French Bull Dogs and Golden Retrievers but I am confident with all breeds. Just moved out on my own and miss the company of pets, I know how difficult it can be finding pet care around work schedules so expect me to be reliable and flexible. Preferably I will care for your dog in the comfort of your own home but I am happy to do boarding in my home if required. I work remotely, so I will be working Monday - Friday but I am able to give your dog the love and attention is needs/deserves. I will take away the stress of the morning rush, dropping your dog at day care - I will come to you at a time preferred, I can do morning and lunch time walks also.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life of different breeds, I’ve also had family trust me with their dogs for weeks at a time. I currently own a German shepherd but I have owned a Yorkshire terrier, a bulldog and a jack Russell in the past! I have also volunteered at a local doggy daycare called Frankie’s for 3 months where I looked after 35+ dogs and made sure the daycare was fun and safe! I’m currently unemployed so I have all day and night to spend time with your fur baby, whether it’s just a little check in and play or a full day care I’m free! I have walked dogs, clear up after them, play with them, fed them and trained them! I enjoy creating mind exercises for the dogs to keep them busy and engaged!

“Came to Look after Dougie last min in my home. She was good at communicating, giving me regular updates about Dougie. I would recommend Chandini and trusted her in my home and looking after my dog. I hope you can look after him again if needed. Thanks again ☺️”


“Sid has his first overnight stay last weekend and had a great time and was spoilt rotten. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mick for any dog care, we will definitely be using Mick again in the near future.”


About: I've had pets (dogs and cats) almost all of my life, and became a veterinary nurse straight after leaving college. I just love animals! My vet experience means that I am happy to care for any pets who may have additional medical or care needs, and that I am pet first aid trained. I currently work part-time (3 days a week) and on my days off I spend most of my time at home or dog walking, so pets will have someone with them most of the time. We have a large fenced garden to play in, with grass and paved areas, so plenty of space for games and cuddles. I love dog walks on my days off in many of the local parks.

About: I have been taking care of pets since 8 years now. Along with my husband, I moved countries, leaving our pets ( 2 dogs and 2 cats) behind with our loving family who currently take care of them! Making use of all this built up love and longing for our fur babies till we meet them again! x I am currently on mat leave and husband works 4 days which gives us plenty of time to board according to our availability and your needs. We have a fenced garden outside but the cats will be mostly inside our house which is secure and with me at home at all times, safety isn’t a problem.


“Debbie and Andrew looked after Luna for 2 nights and weee absolutely fantastic, they kept me up to date with how she was doing with lots of communication and pictures. Would recommend them to anyone. Thanks again”

About: Since I was 8 years old, we have always had dogs in the family. I bought my own house a couple of years ago and whilst I currently work from home all the time, there is a chance I may be back in the office or need to travel for work in the future. Due to these circumstances, I have been unable to commit to having my own pet. I miss having a dog and it would bring me a lot of joy to help you look after your pet temporarily. I work from home every day and have flexible working hours which give me the opportunity to go walking whenever. This gives me the time to provide your pet with the care and attention they deserve. I have a private fenced off rear garden which has a mixture of patio, grass and decking. I also live close to several walks which I can adapt the length to meet the needs of your pet(s). I'm happy to let your pet(s) on the furniture or/and the bed. I will also update you with pictures of how your pet is doing whilst in my care.

“I recently had the pleasure of having Rebecca look after my two dogs while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. Despite accepting the booking on short notice, Rebecca was incredibly punctual and reliable. My dogs, who can be quite shy, warmed up to her almost immediately, which speaks volumes about her friendly and caring nature. Rebecca went above and beyond by sending me regular photos and updates, which gave me peace of mind knowing my pets were in good hands. She is truly lovely and doesn’t hesitate to go the extra mile to ensure everything is perfect. I wouldn’t want anyone else to house sit for me next time I need this service. Highly recommended!”


About: I have had pets for my whole life, and have 10+ years of animal care experience, including dog walking, dog sitting and cat sitting. I adore all animals and am passionate about providing the highest level of care for your pets, giving them all of the love and attention that they deserve! I am a self employed artist working from home, so I am available and flexible during the week and weekends to take care of your pets and give them plenty of attention throughout the day! My home is suitable for pet sitting, with plenty of indoor and outdoor space, as well as lots of local parks and green spaces for walking.

About: I’m on a mission to turn my passion for dogs into a full-time career, and your dog could directly benefit. With two dog training diplomas under my belt and more in progress, I’m not just offering dog walks — I’m offering free dog training along the way. Because I’m currently learning to become a qualified professional trainer, every walk is also a chance for your dog to build better behaviour, manners, and confidence at no extra cost. It’s a win-win: your dog gets exercise and gentle training, and I gain the hands-on experience I need to start up my own professional dog training business. My routine is flexible as I currently work 2–3 days a week, so my availability can vary. I offer most mid-week walks and am also available for weekend walks and pet care. Just drop me a message to check a time that works! Dogs in my care are kept safe in a secure, fenced garden with locked gates, so there’s no chance of escape. I live in a calm area with plenty of parks nearby for enriching walks, and I make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and well-looked after while they’re with me.

“Deborah & Poppie are the loveliest people. Genuine dog lovers. We booked Poppie to come and stay at our home and look after our newly adopted dog. She came and visited on a couple of occasions beforehand. Great communication and trustworthy. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Poppie to look after your pet. Whilst away she kept us up to date, sent photos. Dealt with minor issues, nothing phases her. When we returned we came home to a calm dog who clearly had enjoyed there time with Poppie, I think I had suffered more separation anxiety than the dog! There are not enough superlatives! Thank you so much 😁 x”


About: Had pets in the family for all my life. All breeds of dogs from Jack Russell’s, cockapoos, greyhounds and Rottweilers. Many of them rehomes meaning I’m confident in handling dogs that may need more attention, nurturing and support. I primarily work from home as a technology consultant, meaning I’m flexible around getting your pooch out and about for exercise and play. I’m an early bird, so no problem around wake up calls for the furry pal wanting to get out. We have a fenced garden with half an acre and f fresh grass areas. We have a super friendly and submissive cockapoo, he wants to be everyone’s friend, is old enough to understand when others aren’t in a playful mood. Routine is early morning walk, mid morning play, lunchtime stroll and an evening hike. Timings can be flexible and amount of physical exercise can be adapted.

About: i am a local dog groomer so i am always surrounded by dogs and it is my duty of care to allow them to be safe, happy and comfortable environment! i work at a local dog groomer, so although i am not guaranteed to be at home 24/7, i am able to bring your dog into work with me, where they will be provided with socialisation, treats and lots of play time! i will make sure that your dog is given fresh water and food, regular toilet breaks, physical activity and let’s not forget lots of cuddles!

About: Hello, My name is Rashed and I’m thrilled to meet you ! I am currently a university student, studying psychology. As an international student I had to leave my two best friends back home Dakota and Trump. My dogs grew up in a family of animal lovers and as a result I learned a lot about animals as we had a wide range of animals, but I always had a special connection with dogs. I also volunteered in dog hotels ; that helped me understand not only the physical aspect but also the psychological aspect of dog care. I also did military courses and dealt with different police dogs and watched how they’re maintained. To wrap up, I am an honest hard working man and I have around 10+ years of experience with big and small dogs and believe I will exceed your expectations.

“Chloe has a calming influence on my very excitable puppy but still manages to put lots of fun into her stays. Clearly an animal lover who listens clearly to their needs and puts us as owners very much at ease.”


Leanna B.
“Leanna has often looked after our two dogs and two cats. We had a senior Yorkshire Terrier (RIP), a German Shepherd, and two cats. She fed them, played and walked them all. She entertained them and put their needs first. Leanna loved our pets and even when times got tough with our senior Yorkie, Leanna always put him first. Dogs gravitate to Leanna for her loving nature, calm demeanour, and fun. Leanna is always the first person our friends and family turn to for caring for their pets. I would highly recommend Leanna to anyone who wants their pet to be taken good care of.”

“Debbie and Andrew looked after Luna for 2 nights and weee absolutely fantastic, they kept me up to date with how she was doing with lots of communication and pictures. Would recommend them to anyone. Thanks again”


Caley G.
“From the very start, Caley was incredibly reliable and punctual, always arriving on time and ready to give my cats the attention they deserved. She went above and beyond by spending lots of quality time with them, making sure they felt loved and entertained. The pictures and videos she sent during each visit were such a wonderful touch, giving me peace of mind knowing my cats were in great hands. One of the standout aspects of Caley’s care was her attention to cleanliness. She didn’t just scoop the litter box; she thoroughly cleaned the entire area around it, making my return home so much more pleasant. It’s the small details like this that really set her apart from other sitters I’ve tried. My cats absolutely adored her and it was clear they were comfortable and happy in their own home while still getting the personalised care they needed. It’s such a relief knowing they could stay in their familiar environment and still receive all the love, attention, and playtime they crave. I’ve been using Caley as my go-to pet sitter for years now, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to look after my cats. Her passion, reliability, and genuine love for animals make her the only person I would recommend for anyone in need of a truly dedicated and experienced pet sitter”


Matthew T.
“5 STAR. Matthew is a dog person. He has helped me raise my dog for years including teaching her her first tricks and also helping her get over her fear of water. I think the best thing about Matthew is his ability to mimic a dogs energy. If he is with a younger or energetic dog he can play with them for ages or if the dog is chilled/ older he is happy just to snuggle them. He doesn’t have a dog at the moment but has grown up with them and always been around them. He is fantastic with mine and I am always confident when he dog sits for me. Couldn’t recommend more.”
