“This is the first time we have used Rover and Sarah has been great! Excellent communication throughout our time away. Photos and news of all 3 cats whenever possible. We have one very independent outdoor cat who doesn't always show up for mealtimes but she too is accounted for and thriving. Our nervous older cat coped far better than she would have done in kennels for which we are very grateful and Sausage, bold as brass was fine too even allowing a fuss from Sarah towards the end. All three cats healthy, happy and well fed in their own home means we will have the confidence to leave all three in Sarah's capable and loving hands while we enjoy more adventures away from home. Thanks Sarah x”

About: Hello we are Robyn & Mick, a very active and flexible married couple who are dog crazy and between us we have around 12 years experience with dogs. From a young age, I had a 10 year old Pug Gertie, she had extensive medical issues, i.e keeping up with medication, her back, hips and legs was not fully fit, but she was still a happy and very looked after dog until we unfortunately lost her early this year. We now have a very active Cockapoo called Barry, he is 2 years old, he was toilet trained by 10 weeks and is a very well behaved young boy with a lovely temperament, who loves welcoming other doggos into our home for play dates and stop overs. Barry is extremely soft and great with other dogs and this reflects in our numerous reviews of dog owners that have trusted us to look after their precious pets. We both currently work full time, but have the ability to take pets into the work place in which is very dog friendly and safe, and have the flexibility to return home as and when, living in the same location we work. Your pet will never be left alone for a prolonged period of time. Whilst pets are in our care, they will be located in a gated environment. We also have access to a gated local nation trail, called the foxglove, just a 5 minute walk from our home. We also have the means to fit an Apple AirTag to pets collar/harness should owners require this as an extra safety measure.

“Grace has done a great job taking care of our cats. They can be quite nervous of new people and one needs extra care as she’s diabetic so also needed insulin injecting. Grace met all their needs and we’d highly recommend her, we’ll definitely book her again next time we go away!”


“Emily made us feel at ease and worry free when leaving our cats for a few weeks. She updated us on her visits and sent pictures so we could see how they were doing and put our mind at ease.”


About: Kennels experience for years, now working from home and making the most of the countryside. Rescued a dog a few years ago who is now a settled happy chap Full time dog owner and parent to growing kids, my dog gets 3 good walks a day which usually involves river swims and plenty of rabbits to chase My dog is free to roam about the house. Lack of garden is made up for by the Dales on my doorstep and the River Swale, which we visit often

“So glad I discovered Kelly. My cat, Barry, and I instantly bonded with her. I got some lovely and amusing updates, with some great photos. I think Barry took a real shine to her & was subsequently quite disappointed to see me walk through the door upon my return. Kelly was happy to stay over her allotted time to make sure Barry had everything he needed. Communication has been great. Really happy with the service provided. I have already rebooked Kelly & have no issues in using her again if required in the future…..I know Barry will be delighted 😀”


“Katherine was amazing in all instances! Not only she was taking a great general care of our cats, she also managed to feed them a medicine which they hated! Moreover, she was sending us videos during all her visits which eased our minds while being away. Her lovely personality gets her an extra 6th star! We can only recommend her services and will re-invite her to our place again!”


About: Since childhood, I have always had a family dog, so being around and caring for dogs has been a big part of my life. I’ve been volunteering most weekends at Holly Hedge Dog Sanctuary, whenever my work schedule allows. During my time there, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of dogs, each with different personalities and needs. This experience has not only shown my love for animals but has also helped me develop a strong confidence in looking after dogs and understanding their behavior. It's something I really enjoy and feel passionate about. My work schedule changes each week, so feel free to send me a message! Your dog will always be my top priority, and I will make sure to find time to give them the attention they deserve. I’m currently living in military accommodation on Catterick Camp. While my living area isn’t very spacious, I can guarantee that your dog will receive plenty of attention and care. I’ll make sure to take them out for walks in a secure and safe environment where they can enjoy themselves. Your dog's well-being is important to me, and I want to ensure they have the exercise, love and attention they need.

About: Huge dog lover and have plenty of experience being around dogs. I have previously had two large family dogs and love all dogs big and small! I have experience with caring for older dogs too and dealt with administering medication and providing oral care. I currently work shift patterns and am looking for a way to spend my spare time taking care of people’s pets and giving plenty of ear scratches! I love walking, and have experience walking other peoples dog. Ensuring they are well looked after and get plenty of fresh air and a good run round! I currently work shift patterns and usually get 4 days off at a time allowing me to be flexible with my rest days. I live a quite life and am looking for a way to spend my spare time being surrounded by furry friends and giving the best care! I live in a semi detached house with my partner (also a big dog lover!) with a fenced small garden allowing room to play with pets. I consider myself a reliable and responsible person who would ensure any pet is looked after with great care. I have lived with dogs for over 15 years and have had plenty of experience walking them (especially big dogs).

About: I’m very active and love walking. My girlfriend is also on rover so it’s something we both enjoy doing. My Dalmatian loves play days but can also stay with my girlfriend if this is an issue I can do hybrid working when required. I don’t work weekends at all. My girlfriend is also free during the day so we can help each other if needed I have a fenced garden and a backyard. I’ve got a very friendly Dalmatian that loves play dates. Wouldn’t ever need to leave the dog by themselves

About: Starting early, I did work experience in a kennels and animal sanctuary at school and progressed on to Animal Care college at 16. Since then I've had my own animals from dogs to cats, chickens to rats...and looked after many others from dog walking to overnight stays. A qualified teacher now enjoying a slower pace of life! I'm self employed and work as a Jewellery designer and tutor so I am very flexible. I live in a beautiful area away from too many people and traffic. I'm a huge nature fan so I walk every day with my own dog and would love to have more company of the furry variety to enjoy my strolls! I have a 3 year old Border Collie who we had as a puppy from the dogs trust. We also have two cats, a Gecko and three chickens. We live on a private woodland estate. I work self employed so I'm flexible with timings however early mornings are tricky due to school runs. I generally work in my studio from 11-4 but again, I'm flexible. I have a Collie who you could say is spoilt, however I would say he's loved to bits! I also have two cats, one 14 and one 7 as well as 8 hens and 5 cockerels. Huge animal lover who prefers animals to people! 🤣
