“Cathy was a lifesaver for us last wk when she took simba on a days notice! She was flexible on timings and arrangements and provided updates and pictures throughout. Simba looked at home and enjoyed hanging out with Bailey. Will definitely be sending simba there again.”


“We'll most certainly look for Coco to be with Yesmin for our future travels as it was a vet positive experience. Thank you for all you have done for Coco !”


“Wiola and Adrian are amazing! They are wonderful and so kindly people and my little doggie had a great time with them. Wiola took a pictures every day and also she send us it every day together with messages. So we could know easier how my dog was doing. We really appreciate them and highly recommend them! Thank you so much Wiola and Adrian.”


About: I’m a working from home consultant, with a gorgeous little 3 y/o Cavapoochon. I’ve always helped looked after my friends’ dogs whilst they were away on holidays or provided daycare. I take my little dog Coco for walks in the morning between 7.45am-10am and evenings between 4-7pm. We love long walks if there’s not many work calls in the morning. I’ve a fenced garden, where I’ll take down the dogs for breaks and sniffs usually every 2-3 hrs when we are at home. Meals are served individually for the dogs at home, so there’s no competition between the dogs. I’ve also completed my pet first aid course and have a first aid kid at home. I’m a consultant working in the hospitality sector, usually project based, therefore, have plenty of time whilst waiting on other projects. I’m happy to use some of my free time to look after other furry babies along with my baby. I live in a first floor maisonette, off the main road, close to parks - Marble Hill, Moormead, Radnor Gardens, Crane Park.I’ve fenced garden for potty breaks, I take my pup for morning and evening walkies promptly, extra walkies sometimes as needed. I’ve a car and a big fan of the National Trust Parks. Sometimes, me and my pup go away for long drives to visit these gorgeous parks.

“Frankie had the best time with Jon. Left her with him for 5 days, when we got back was greeted by a very happy puppy. Jon went out of his way to meet us before the stay so he could meet frankie and we could meet him, during her stay we got updates and photos. As it was very hot I was a bit concerned as she is a French Bulldog and cant handle the heat well but was reassured he didn't take her out in the heat and took water and put her cooling bandana on when he took her out in the cooler times, he clearly knows a lot of about dogs and their safety. Wouldn't hesitate to leave Franks with him again.”


About: I am a dog father with many years of experience owning and training dogs. My current dog is Samoyed SKY :-). Very friendly neutered boy who likes company of (most) other dogs. Part of the reason I am registering on the rover is to make SKY's life more interesting :-). I have a big garden and go out at least twice day to wonderful Sheen Common, Old Deer Park, Richmond Park, and Petersham. We take only 1 dog at a time and SKY meets them ahead of time to make sure they are friends. We would prefer medium to large size dogs to look after - our SKY is rather big. I work from home most of the time and go out with my dog into parks twice a day every day. I take dogs out work a walk in the morning, lunchtime and evening. I have well fenced and protected back yard with clean "kennel" area where SKY sleeps and grass playground area. Ground floor of the house is big enough for two big dogs.

“Andrea is an excellent dog sitter. Bella loves her time with her. Andrea keeps me well informed of Bella’s well being. Id definitely recommend.”


“Maria-Elena provided a first class home from home experience for my beautiful fog. I am so grateful for the care and love along with daily photographs, videos and updates she provided. I feel blessed to have found someone like Mara-Elena and family. She is an experienced, reliable and excellent dog sitter.”


“Ineta looked after Ollie overnight on a Saturday at very short notice. She provided lots of updates, videos and photos throughout his stay which included a trip to the beach. Thank you”


“Really great experience with Felicity. Perfect amount of photographs and updates, really allowed us to feel comfortable leaving Maggie. Thank you, will no doubt see you again!”


“Mothi had a fantastic time with Raquel and Ricky. Once it was clear he'd settled in very quickly, it was so easy to enjoy the holiday. Now, if I mention Raquel and Ricky's names, Mothi gets excited and gets ready to go!”


“10/10 would book again. Zeus took a day to settle but once his secret off switch was engaged, he was chilled out and pleasant! Enjoyed thoroughly his time with his new best friend and even ate most of his food. Neil was super hospitable, lovely person and took the time to understand Zeus’s needs and temperament. In turn, Zeus was loved and loving equally and I’d have no trouble booking Neil for Zeus’s next stay! Thank you Neil!”


“Sloane spent 2 days at Rachel's and was very happy playing with the dogs all day in the garden. He was nice and tired by the time we picked him up which is always a bonus after a long day at work. Thanks Rachel & Ryan for taking good care of my boy!”


“Paulina was amazing with archie! She was in constant communication and always quick to reply ♥️ . She send us updates and so many cute pictures, which showed the great time Archie was having.cannot recommend her enough!”


About: Since I was a child I have always had animals. Cats in particular. Love the energy and unconditional love they give. They make my day being around them. My last cat ( Savannah) had a condition called IBD which needed constant attention. However, I have managed to keep it under control and making him have a good normal life I do flexible hours at work and I can juggle the 2 easily. I am highly organised person in order to make sure that the animal has the best care. I do understand that trusting someone to look after your furry baby can be difficult. I make sure I do follow owner’s instructions and requirements

“Great communication with feedback and updates throughout the day, felt very comfortable leaving Loki with Marcel and will be using him again in future. Many thanks 🙏✨”


“I’m so pleased I found Simon and Jules to look after my dog Flo. They’re brilliant - really looked after her, lots of walks, loads of great photos. She seems very taken with them.”


“I highly recommend Jeanette! She was a fantastic dog sitter for our Nala. Jeanette is reliable and genuinely loves dogs. She kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the day, and I could tell Nala was happy and well-cared for. Jeanette also followed our instructions regarding Nala's diet, exercise needs, and medication. We felt completely at ease knowing Nala was in such capable and caring hands. Thank you so much.”


About: I absolutely adore dogs! I bring years of hands-on experience caring for a variety of breeds, from energetic Beagles to gentle Newfoundlands, and now my own beloved toy poodle, Kai. I’ve spent extensive time with puppies, focusing on training and nurturing their development. Kai and I will ensure your furry friend is happy and well cared for. A usual day with Kai and looks like this: 1. Short morning walk between 8 and 8:30am. 2. Big run in the park and walk along the river in Richmond between 12-1:30ish. 3. Short evening walk between 5:30 and 6pm. 4. Quick walk before bed time around 10pm. Kai loves play-time so you’ll get your very exhausted furry friend. Dogs are never left alone and will always be supervised while staying with me. Pups will be supervised even in the garden / patio area.

“Diana and her family were so lovely and kind with my dog, Holly! I was looking for a caring person who owned a large dog and would be able to handle my young, energetic and sometimes "chatty" Goldendoodle, but also a family that Holly would be comfortable with. I feel so lucky to have found the perfect family! Diana sent me photos and videos of Holly and my dog absolutely loved her and Akira, their beautiful, sweet dog. I will absolutely book with Diana again!”
