“Juliet is wonderful! My dog Mollie loves staying with her so much. I know this as Mollie runs to her droor when I drop her off and sometimes when we walk past Juliet’s house. Juliet always sends pictures which is a great comfort as I miss my dog when she is not with me. I would highly recommend Juliet.”

“Ruth was great with Freya- took care to meet us before hand and get to know her. Freya had a lovely time with some beautiful river walks and we could go away knowing she was getting plenty of attention and being well looked after. Thanks Ruth- will definitely book her in again!”

About: I've helped walk dogs since I was able to walk a dog on my own. I have owned two reactive dogs and helped care for a puppy for a family friend. I currently own a reactive rottweiler cross collie. I currently don't work so I have plenty of time on my hands to go on walks with some furry friends. happy to look after some more furry friends. I have a 8 ft fence around my back garden. I know great quiet walks to keep away from any kind of stressful situation for your pets. I can adjust to any needs your pet requires
“Could not have asked for a better sitter. Our dog clearly had a great time and because of that, we could focus on the event we were attending. James is clearly an extremely experienced and caring dog sitter. Could not recommend more. Thank you James!”

“Alison was absolutely lovely and took such caring, thoughtful care of our senior chihuahua and his quirky needs. She was very patient, kind, and clearly understood his needs, which gave us real peace of mind. We felt completely comfortable leaving him with her and had a great experience overall. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Alison again and would highly recommend her.”

“Claire was absolutely brilliant with Neville. We have already booked his next stay and would recommend to anyone looking for a home from home for their pup. Claire sent loads of pictures and updates and we were really put at ease that our dog was being very well looked after.”

“From the first time meeting naomi I knew id made the right choice for my boy milo Naomi was so welcoming and friendly and put my mind at ease I was kept updated everyday and sent lots of pics of milo having the time of his life I actually wondered if he would come home he looked that settled this was the first time Ive left milo with anyone and for the 4 days I had no worries at all and am so glad I've found a reliable trustworthy dog boarder for future thanks again Naomi xxxxxx”

“John is great with Oonagh! Excellent communication and updates throughout her stay. She was very happy to go back for her second stay, which says a lot. A happy customer 😊”
“Victoria and her family was fabulous with our dog. They were very attentive and wanting to know everything she needs to stay comfortably. My dog had an operation two weeks before her stay and they truly paid attention as to what will be best for her. The children showered her with love, but were respectful not to overstimulate. The back garden is large, but Rowan was mainly taken for walks, as she was not allow to play too vigorously due to the surgery. She did not want to leave upon my return! Also, I am grateful to Victoria for one favour she did, due to a small mistake I have made.”

About: I've always been surrounded by dogs growing up, thanks to my parents. And now, I'm thrilled to have my own dog, Blue, who's like family to me. I'm super committed to giving him the best care and making sure he's always happy and healthy. I love dogs so much that I've decided to open my home to other furry friends too! When a new dog comes to stay with us, they're treated just like Blue – with tons of love, attention, and care. It's like they become a part of our little family. I've made sure my home is a safe and welcoming place for all the dogs. We have lots of fun together, playing games, going for walks, and just enjoying each other's company. Blue and I are like the best hosts, making sure all our furry guests feel at home and comfortable. Each dog has their own unique needs, and I'm really attentive to them. I want to make sure they have the best time with us, whether it's going for daily walks, having fun play sessions, or just snuggling up for some cuddles. So, if you ever need a home away from home for your furry friend, you can count on Blue and me to provide them with all the love and care they deserve! I am currently between roles and have a highly flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate significant time to dog care. I provide twice-daily walks, in the morning and evening, along with regular attention and supervised playtime in the garden throughout the day. Dogs are given consistent toilet breaks every couple of hours, with additional breaks as needed. I am also happy to adapt feeding times and daily routines to meet each dog’s individual needs. As a passionate dog lover, I provide high-quality care for dogs in my own home. I have a fully fenced garden and access to plenty of nearby walking areas, ensuring dogs enjoy regular walks, exercise, and playtime. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities, and I maintain a calm, secure, and pet-friendly environment. I tailor care to each dog’s individual needs, keeping them both physically active and mentally stimulated.
“Monika looked after our dog for the weekend and was excellent throughout. This was the first time we have used Rover and she met with use before the visit to discuss. During the stay Monika sent us photos and updates and was adaptable when we had car issues delaying our return slightly. Would definitely recommend.”

“Tilly had a great time with Gillian, on one of the wettest days of the year she got some lovely walks and cosied at her house. Gillian is so lovely and I would highly recommend her and Tilly wants to know when she can see her again. 😊”


“Derek and Angela were brilliant. Great communication both before and during Buddy's stay. Lots of photos and videos updates throughout the day. They made me feel at ease straight away and could see from the minute they met Buddy they were great with him. Buddy had a fantastic day. Would definitely recommend.”

“Danielle and Dougie were the absolute best. I knew my dog Carmen was in good hands the moment I met them. Everything was great and Carmen had the best time with them - going on gorgeous walks, plenty of exercise and lots of cuddles! Thanks again guys ❤️”

“We were a bit apprehensive of the idea of finding a dog sitter when our girl is still so young but we are so happy with everything Kim did for us. Penny was in good hands, very well cared for and clearly had an absolute blast every day. Kim is lovely, clearly cares a lot for all dogs, and looked after Penny as if she was her own, we couldn't be happier with how our first experience on Rover has went.”

Cameron is a highly recommended dog sitter. Dolly is nervous and anxious, but Cameron was excellent with her, and we came home with a very happy little dog. It was lovely to get photos and updates during our time away. Would have no hesitation in booking Cameron again.
