“We hired simone for a full-day sitting service for our wedding, and they were amazing. Toby (our Cavapoo) and Milly (our Yorkie-poo) can be sensitive, but they were so relaxed, happy, and well looked after. It gave us complete peace of mind on our big day. Thank you so much!"”
“Debbie was fantastic as soon as she arrived I knew she was the perfect sitter for my pets! Excellant would highly reccommend to anyone looking for pet sitting services. Deserves 10 stars!”
“Kelly is an amazing person. Having her in our home to sit Enzo brought me so much joy. I didn't have to worry as she took great care of Enzo while I was away. I would use Kelly again. She is calm and experienced. Enzo loves her”
“My dogs new bestie!!! This was the first time we have left Bear with a sitter and I was really anxious but Becca put all of that anxiety at ease! We did end up being later back home and Becca was so understanding. I will definitely be using Becca again as my dog loves her and she is so lovely!”
About: I've been caring for dogs for nearly 4 years, and I really enjoy it! I have experience with beagles (anyone who's owned one understands they're a bit unique, which makes it fun) and also with dogs that get anxious when left alone. I love helping them feel safe and loved. I'm currently enjoying my summer break as a university student, which means I have plenty of free time most days, including weekends and evenings. I have experience caring for multiple dogs, including larger breeds that require extra attention. I am DBS-checked, ensuring your dog(s) will be in safe and responsible hands. You can trust that I will give your pets the dedicated care and attention they deserve, whether it's daily walks, playtime, or administering any special care they might need.
About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats my whole life, so I am very comfortable caring for and looking after pets on a daily basis. I currently have a dog and two cats who get along very well, creating a calm and safe home environment. This has given me ongoing experience managing different animal needs. Through helping care for dogs for family and friends, I have gained experience with different dog personalities and care requirements, including walking and feeding. I aim to create a calm and safe environment so that every dog feels comfortable in my care. I understand the importance of ensuring owners feel confident and reassured that their dog is being taken care of properly. I'm currently a university student home for the summer and I also work as bank staff at the hospital. This gives me a flexible schedule, meaning I have plenty of time during the week and weekends to take care of your dog! Being at home also means I have lots of additional support around me, helping to ensure your dog recieves the best care at all times. I have a fenced and secure garden where your dog can safely run around and play. I also have pets of my own, which provides your dog with some company while they're here. Where I am located, there is a woodland area just a 2-minute walk away with a variety of extensive walking routes away from busy roads, ensuring safe and enjoyable walks.
“Florence has been AMAZING with our nervous doggo, Nina. Really patient, understanding, considerate and accommodating to all of us. She made brilliant progress with Nina in a short time, and clearly has a great connection with animals. Very grateful to have come across Florence on here :)”
About: I have been around animals all my life, having had dogs and cats, as well as hamsters. I look after my sister's dog when I can, she is a yellow Labrador. This also includes house-sitting at their house in London. I also sometimes look after my aunt and uncle's dogs (Labradors and a Sheep Dog) at their house in the Lake District. I have been a member of Borrow my Doggy in the past to help look after dogs or take them for walks. I use Trusted House Sitters for when I want to go further away from home and have stayed at homes with multiple animals including dogs, cats and sheep. I don’t have any pets of my own at the moment due to accommodating limitations, but I plan on getting them when I am able to. Some of the pets I have looked after recently: - Bozo: he was a gentle giant and I miss him very much, I only knew him as an older dog but he was always up for a walk and would communicate when he'd had enough. - Winnie: an energetic young lab, loves walks and playing fetch. I've looked after her both in the Cotswolds and in London. - Juniper: a loving black lab, she's so affectionate and is always climbing on my lap. Not a huge fan of the rain which doesn't help when she lives in the Lake District! But she's always the first in the sea when at the beach. - Polly: an older girl who is more of a cat to be honest, she loves spreading out in the sun or in front of the fireplace. She's not as active as she used to be so prefers being left at home for longer walks, but will have a good run around the garden. - Willow: a French Bulldog. I spent three weeks looking after her while her owners were abroad. She’s the sweetest pup and was crazy for a tennis ball. We went on many adventures and walks around the countryside. I work in Education and am also a student. I am often up early in the morning and would love to fit in some visits around work. I have flexible working and work from home benefits so I can work from your home with plenty of breaks, or do a half day at home and half at work. My weekends and evenings are mostly free so plenty of time then too. I am unable to take pets in my accommodation so am not able to host. However for owner’s homes I am always respectful of property, I clean up after myself and bring minimal belongings. I like clear instructions/guidance on what each pet needs and will always follow these.
About: I have had and cared for 8 dogs over the years and have also spent a lot of time looking after my neighbours’ and friends’ dogs. This has given me experience with dogs of different breeds, ages, and personalities. I enjoy teaching dogs simple tricks, playing with them, taking them on walks, and making sure they feel happy and comfortable. I always treat every dog as if they were my own and make their safety and wellbeing my top priority. As a school leaver, I have plenty of free time and a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate time to looking after pets. I love being outdoors and walking is one of my main hobbies, so taking dogs on regular walks fits perfectly into my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide them with lots of attention, exercise, playtime, and care throughout the week. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they are in my home or their owner’s home. I stick to their usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I give them plenty of attention and affection, make sure they get enough exercise, and keep their environment clean and secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they are away.
About: taken care of four dogs of different ages, many shelter cats and a lil pup. it’s time to bring my voluntary work to rover! I am currently fully flexible. I work as a freelance artist so my availability changes with each contract I work, as well as in between contracts. I pay great attention to detail so I will heed your every instruction. I also love animals so you can be sure your pets will be in very loving hands!
About: I have had years of experience helping family and friends out with their pets. I would always jump at the chance to look after any dogs & cats if the opportunity was given to me. Weekends, I’m free all day and night to take care of your pets, go for walks, check ins or even over night stays within your homes. I’m currently working full time, however I’m flexible to work within the evenings Monday- Friday to do evening walks or check ins or over night stays. During walks I respect the owners wishes, so I'm happy to keep them on lead if someone isn't confident about them being let off, and if I do let dogs off it's only in an open but secure park / grass area. When taking care of your loving pets, I will always take lots of pictures and videos to give owners daily updates on how they're settling in and what they might have been up to that day - Dogs they've been socialising with, walks they've had and any other updates in general.
About: I have just completed my 3 year degree in Veterinary Nursing and will be a registered veterinary nurse in around a months time. I have put hours of hard work and studying in over the last 3 years to strive to provide the highest quality of care for my patients. Over the years I’ve gained lots of experience in consulting, administration of medications, anaesthesia, diagnostic imaging, post op care, first aid and so many more. Before doing veterinary nursing I also worked in multiple different establishments including a doggy day care and down on a farm of a family friend helping out a dog breeder. I have always loved animals and currently own a 13 year old springer spaniel. I’ve had lots of experience with caring for different breeds/sizes/ages and I am very comfortable with administering any medications that your pet may require. I have also had lots of experience and training in monitoring for abnormalities and potential problems that can occur medically.

“We couldn’t be happier with Caitlyn’s dog and house sitting! She stayed with our Blue, for two weeks and did an absolutely amazing job. Caitlyn is so easygoing yet professional, and she kept us fully updated with regular pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, she truly loved Blue, and it was clear from his happy face in every update that the feeling was mutual! My house was immaculate too which was a bonus thank you ! We’ll 100% be asking Caitlyn to look after Blue again in the future, and we wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and wonderful sitter.”
“I was so worried about leaving my 6 babies at home but it was great. They were happy a Larry and I got plenty of pics over the weekend. I would definitely recommend Jacqueline.”

Simone was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter for Leo while we were away at a conference. She was reliable, punctual, and attentive to every detail we shared about Leo’s routine and preferences. What we appreciated most was the genuine care she showed him. She regularly sent us photos and updates, which gave us complete peace of mind. She made sure Leo ate well, drank enough water, and felt happy and comfortable throughout her stay. She also washed and cleaned him very carefully after each walk, which we really appreciated. We were especially touched by the little things she did, such as putting music on for Leo before leaving the house so he would feel more relaxed. Leo clearly adores Simone, and it is obvious that she has a natural connection with animals. We would not hesitate to trust her with Leo again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and professional dog sitter.
Florence has been AMAZING with our nervous doggo, Nina. Really patient, understanding, considerate and accommodating to all of us. She made brilliant progress with Nina in a short time, and clearly has a great connection with animals. Very grateful to have come across Florence on here :)
Milo had a lovely overnight stay with Debbie whilst she stayed in our home with him. He is so well looked after and spoilt in her care a trip to the beach he thoroughly enjoyed her company. Debbie is such a great person to leave your pets with the best! Thanks as always.
Georgina was fantastic with our boy who isn't easy to deal with and was especially hard work with anxiety from being away from us. Despite this Georgina gave us lots of regular updates with photos, and always responds to any messages really quickly - would very highly recommend her to anyone.
My dogs new bestie!!! This was the first time we have left Bear with a sitter and I was really anxious but Becca put all of that anxiety at ease! We did end up being later back home and Becca was so understanding. I will definitely be using Becca again as my dog loves her and she is so lovely!
Atlanta was amazing, she arrived on time after great communication in advance, introduced her to my two dogs, after 10 minutes spoke about the requirements for feeding them etc. had several updates via WhatsApp with photos during the stay. On arriving back dogs were happy as if nothing had happened which was exactly what I was hoping for. Atlanta did a great job and I have already got a nothing booking being sorted. No issues at all, I would recommend her and her service to anyone.
