“We couldn’t recommend Fiona more highly. Very conscientious and caring plus she’s a quick learner on picking up very detailed care instructions for our rescue dog.”

“Lovely guy, very calm & pleasant. Met Tim prior to him staying which we really liked. Truffle seemed to take well to him too. Left the house nice & clean & didn’t feel we worried at all during our weekend away. Thank you Tim :)”

“Would highly recommend Jane, she did a brilliant job looking after our house and dog , Bea for five weeks . We received regular updates and pictures which made it very clear Bea was enjoying lots of lovely walks and very happy spending time with Jane at home. The house was beautifully clean and tidy when we got back and Bea looked amazing. We have already booked her for our next holiday.”

“Mikey's first sitting with our 12 month old puppy went brilliantly. Mikey was punctual, followed all instructions diligently and was very attentive to our dogs needs who is in her first season and somewhat needy and clingy. Mikey left our home spic and span too, you couldn't ask for a better service, even sharing pictures of Siena enjoying her walkies and post walk naps and cuddles!”

Simon D.

“This was Molly's second stay with Claire ... and the fact that Molly was pulling on her lead to meet Claire says it all. She was really keen to be with Claire again. Molly had another great evening, and I can't recommend Claire highly enough for her care, attention and professionalism.”

“River was absolutely fantastic looking after our dogs, Cheddar and Waffle. She stepped in last minute over the Easter bank holiday, which we really appreciated, and made the whole process completely stress-free. She was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with, giving us real peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, Cheddar and Waffle took to her straight away—they were clearly comfortable, happy, and well looked after. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend River and will definitely be using her again!”

“I really can’t recommend Holly enough. She looked after my pup and my older dog whilst we were away on holiday. She took care of everything. And I don’t say that lightly. She had only previously met the girls briefly, but was a natural with them. Holly checked in with me daily, updating me with how the girls were getting on. She sent me photos of them on their walks, in the garden and snuggled up with her 🥰. This was so reassuring and I felt like I could relax and enjoy my holiday knowing they were in such good hands. She also took care of our home. She left the house immaculate and even double checked when bin day was, so we didn’t miss out. Holly was fantastic and we hope she’s be happy to help us again in the future 🙂 highly recommend. Thanks Holly.”

“Amazing sitter! Jackson & Olive were so well looked after and clearly very happy the whole time. Great communication, followed all routines perfectly, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Would absolutely book again!”

About: As a Phd student living in a 2 bed flat, I have felt the absence of coming home to a pet. However, while studying/working, and living in a 2 bed flat (which is spacious with a lot of walking/park opportunities here in stratford-upon-avon), I acknowledge I am not in a position to have a pup of my own full time. Although my time can be limited during term times, I am available during the busier time periods of the school holidays- I have set times in my calendar, however on days of annual leave and quieter days in the clinic this can be changed (flexible) and a discussion can be had. With that being said, having moved out on my own, it has made me miss my boy at home - a Newfie Harvey (and my two heavenly good boys too). So, if there ever was an opportunity to spend time with other good boys and girls (dogs and cats) and ensure they are getting exercise and having fun trips out, I am the person for the job. I understand how busy life can be, and juggling your work life, social life and personal down time can be hard enough without adding the additional needs of a dog. Therefore, I would love to help someone ensure their floof is having fun while freeing up some of their time too. I’ve had dogs my whole life (3x newfoundlands - 2 of which I have sadly had to leave behind at the family home, an Old English Mastiff and a Rottweiler). I am very adapted to big dogs having grown up with them, but am good with dogs of all size. Although I’m not a dog trainer, I am a dog lover and would love to be a part of giving these good girls and boys a life of love, fun and excitement - seeing as their time on this earth is so sadly limited. Additionally, I have had plenty experiences with cats also, living with cats whenever visiting my dad and helping friends out and previous Rover users, while they go away. I have been part of Rover for over 3.5 ish years, however, had to take some time off due to other commitments, with that being said, I am available again and am keen to help others with the furry babies. Additionally, I ensure to get back to you as soon as possible. I work in the day mon-thurs, so I would be available anytime Friday, Saturday, Sunday. I am also available all weekday evenings from 5pm and can do drop ins during lunchtime on Mondays and Wednesdays, and any time between 7am-8:30am. I will not be able to take dogs into my flat but would consider cat sitting. I will ensure the perimeters of your build are secure both when entering and leaving and will ensure all locks are locked and all gates are shut and secure.

About: I’ve taken care of neighbours and family’s pets for over 7 years and I now have my own 1.5 year old Dachshund. I am happy to look after any pet, any size, with any need. Please contact me for more information☺️ I am self employed with flexible working hours so am on hand to help with your pets needs as much as possible. I have a full UK drivers license so can drive to you and take your pet different places on walks, if required. I am always punctual, polite and organised. I will always respect yours and your pets home and keep everything clean and tidy. I will ensure your pet is comfortable in my company.

“Maddie looked after our ragdoll Kaspar for two weeks whilst we were away on holiday (staying at our house). Communication was great and regular pictures were sent whilst we were away. We came back to a happy cat and will book Maddie again”

“Annie was fantastic looking after Charlie and Nancy. She stepped in at very short notice, which I really appreciated. Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates and photos that put me completely at ease. She was calm, reliable, and clearly great with them. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and would happily ask her again 😀”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and currently have two Golden Retrievers, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities. I understand the importance of sticking to each dog’s routine, whether that’s walks, feeding, playtime, grooming or simply giving them lots of attention and affection. I’m reliable, patient and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’ll treat every dog as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away, so you can have complete peace of mind and relax while you’re away. I’m currently in the midst of looking for a part-time job, so I am free all the time at the moment as I have just graduated. I am available everyday of the week and on weekends. Unfortunately I can’t look after your dogs at my house, as I still live with my parents. However, I am more than happy to stay at your house to look after your doggies when you are away, and obviously would be delighted to give your dog a walk or to let them out for wee. I have grown up with dogs my whole life, and have had my dogs for 8 years now! I am a very caring person and would love to give your doggie all the attention and affection he/she is wanting. I will also create a safe and trusting environment at your home where your dog can feel safe and loved by me. Also, I’ve always said that dogs are better than humans, they deserve everything!

“Steve house sat /looked after Rosie. We arranged walks prior to the sit so they had time to get to know each other. Steve’s great & Rosie absolutely adores him. I”

Jane O.

“Sophie took excellent care of my picky boys. We had lots of pictures and communication from her during her visit. Will definitely book again. Thank you Sophie!”

I would offer on lead and off leads walks, feed them, cuddle them, make them feel how u would when your at home with them!

“Really appreciated Matthew making himself available at extremely short notice in a situation in which we were dealing with family illness. It was hugely appreciated.”
