“Jade looked after my dog for the first time last night. Our dog has separation anxiety and needs a sitter who can give him lots of attention, so he doesn't feel alone. Jade looked after him wonderfully, updating me frequently with photos. I wouldn't hesitate to book Jade again.”

“Fiona and her family are just the most amazing sitters…I could not recommend more highly!! Barney was so well looked after and I really hope they would have Barney again as I trust them implicitly xxx”

“It was our first time using the Rover app and we couldn’t have been luckier with picking Carly to look after our puppy! She was wonderful from start to finish! Our dog has just returned from his holiday with Carly and cried at the door for her when she left! Thank you for making the process of leaving him overnight for the first time so easy and being so thoughtful and kind with all your communication! We will 100 per cent be using you again!”

“Grace and Dean did a wonderful job looking after our golden retriever. She was really well cared for and had a fantastic time. We appreciated their pictures, videos and update messages. We would highly recommend Grace if you are looking for someone to board your dog. Thank you so much!!”
“Edfie & William, were great! Lots of pics, videos and update on my dogs stay. Very chilled environment make for a very chilled and happy dog! Will not hesitate to use them again!!!!!”
“Thankyou so much for having Barney! You guys went above and beyond for his needs and were stars sending pictures & videos of him while we was on holiday. Thankyou so much (apologies it’s late life’s been so full on since being home)”
“It was Louie’s first time away from us and Chloe was really good with Louie and asked for advice to make him feel more settled. Would recommend Chloe as despite a few issues of Louie missing us he was welcomed like a member of their family. We felt very relaxed leaving Louie and knew he was being well looked after.”

About: I have a degree in animal management and I have been a genuine dog lover since I was a tiny child! I have two dogs of my own, a beautiful Irish Setter and a Cocker Spaniel. I work from home 4 days a week and love to walk in the countryside where I live. I am able to do up to three walks a day and while I’m at home boarders will have access to a generous fenced garden. Boarders will sleep and be fed separately to my dogs to prevent any issues and can be walked separately if required. I work predominantly from home Tues-Friday and typically do a walk in the morning before breakfast, a walk at lunchtime if the weather is not excessively hot (rain doesn’t bother us!) and a walk in the evening before dinner. Dogs are given access to the garden during the day when I am home to supervise. On Mondays dogs are left between 8:30 and 3pm but are walked before I leave and upon my return. Boarders will be kept apart from my own dogs when unsupervised. I have a fenced garden that has proved secure for both of my dogs. Both my dogs are friendly, dog-social and are up to date on their flea, tick, worming and vaccinations. I have two young children who are used to interacting with dogs however children and dogs are never left alone unsupervised or allowed to play without adult assistance. Boarding dogs are always fed and sleep separately to my own dogs.
“Bear had a lovely time staying with Sophie on her farm with her two dogs and the beautiful alpacas! She was responsive and sent lots of photos whilst I was away. It was my first time in a while leaving Bear with someone new, so I was nervous. But Sophie was great at calming my nerves and she took great care of Bear for me. He can be fussy with his eating, but she was happy to make adjustments for Bear as he needed them and was super flexible. I will definitely be asking Sophie to look after Bear again! 🐻 🖤”
“Oh my word what a happy Oscar, after his little holiday with Aston and his pack. His beautifully well-behaved dogs accepted Oscar immediately as one of their own, and he had the best time running and playing in the countryside with his new pals. What was most reassuring was that Aston speaks 'dog' fluently - I knew immediately he was in safe hands. 11/10 would recommend.”
“Very lucky to have found Pedro and his family to look after our Labrador, Tipsy, for 10 days. He kept us posted of Tipsy's adventures and she was treated like part of their family. We would absolutely use them again. Thank you ☺️”
“My previous experience on Rover (not with Eleanor and Raymond) was horrific, which left me hesitant to leave my dog, Genie, with anybody... When I met Eleanor and Raymond for a meet and greet, they were shocked, compassionate and reassuring - I got a sense they were a good fit for me and Genie. Before the main booking, we agreed to do a trial sleepover to make sure everybody was a good fit and it went great! Eleanor and Raymond are both lovely, I now have peace of mind knowing Genie will be in safe hands going forward”
“Romeo had a wonderful time with Lynn. I really appreciated the photos and updates that she sent me. I would highly recommend and would be happy for Romeo to stay with Lynn again.”

“Alex was lovely, it was great to meet her before hand and luciferclearly took a liking to her. She was available at shortly notice too which was great. I got lovely photos and updates during her visits. Thank you Alex”
“Caroline is really an A star sitter. She is so knowledgeable about cat behaviour and uses her initiative to make life easier when I am away or in unexpected situations. I am very grateful to have found her. ”
“Zoe did a lovely job looking after my old car, he's a bit too elderly for a cattery so having someone pop in to feed and fuss was perfect. I got regular updates and was kept in the loop. Fabulous service”
“Katherine is absolutely phenomenal! From the moment she stepped in, Leo was instantly at ease which says a lot, considering how picky he can be. She is incredibly attentive, reliable, and clearly have a genuine love for animals. Daily updates, adorable photos, and thoughtful care made us feel completely confident and relaxed while we were away.”
“What an absolute legend. Jade accommodated my request for a last minute booking and I’m so grateful. Jade is extremely tidy and followed a detailed meds plan with ease. The cats (Gertrude & Freya) both want to thank Jade too for being kind and gentle and looking after them whilst I was away on business. Don’t scroll by…..book Jade and know your animals are in safe hands.”
“Victoria did an amazing job looking after my cat. Quinn is an anxious cat who tends to hide from people but she warmed up to Victoria while she was visiting. Even allowing her a pet or two. Would definitely recommend.”
About: Hi everyone! As someone who has grown up with cats my entire life, and always worried about leaving my precious fur babies in someone else’s care, I completely understand the questions, concerns, and anxieties that come with choosing a cat sitter. Your cats are family, and finding someone you can trust is so important. Below are some of the questions I get asked most often. If there’s anything else you’d like to know, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. No question is too small! Do you have experience looking after cats? Absolutely! I have grown up with cats all my life so I am not stranger to their needs and I am currently a proud cat dad to a gorgeous girl: Doris, my beautiful tortoiseshell domestic shorthair (although I mostly call her “Tidley” because she’s such a tiny kitty!). While I love being an uncle to my nieces and nephews, I’ll admit it… I’m a cat dad through and through! Caring for cats isn’t just something I do, it’s something I genuinely love.
“Elisha is a fantastic, calm, responsible and dependable sitter. She took onboard everything we discussed and I came home to a very relaxed and happy cat. James took to her almost immediately with purrs and demands and waited for her arrival. I have absutely no concerns in recommending her, she is fabulous and I will definitely book with her again.”
“Absolutely amazing again! We’ve used Megan before and both times Megan has been fab! Highly recommended and will 100% be booking with Megan again for future trips. She was very caring, prompt with updates and the photos every day were an added bonus. Thank you so much!”
About: I had my gorgeous cocker spaniel dog from the age of 10-22, he unfortunately passed away a in May 2023 and since then I have been desperate to look after other dogs and to continue the activities that I did with mine. I am sporty and active, so dog walking and playing with them is an easy yes from me! I am completely aware and knowledgable of the health and safety guides for dogs! My boyfriend also has a boxer dog who I am extremely friendly and attached with so bigger and stronger dogs are not an issue for me. I am currently living at my family home for the next year after finishing university and am looking to fulfil my time here with caring for and walking dogs whenever possible! I have a fenced garden and chicken wire all around the bushes to prevent escaping or accidental wondering off - I own a huge field perfect for walking by my house which connects to other walking fields to walk by and play around safely - everything is walking distance but also living near other amazing places to walk your dogs
“Freya was superb. Engaged and communication great prior to her house and cat sitting. We met beforehand to discuss everything and she kept me updated whilst we were away. Thanks Freya. Reliable, trustworthy and looked after my fur babies!”
“So grateful to Hazel! First time leaving Milo home for so long and him being a nervous cat we were worried about how he'd manage but Hazel was very lovely and professional, she always made me feel reassured Milo was in good hands. Kept me updated everyday with a message and photos! Will definitely contact Hazel again for next time! Thank you! ”

About: I have looked after many breeds of dogs from jack Russel size to a 32kg energetic labradoodle. I have my own 18 month old cockapoo, and have also attended puppy school with him. The labradoodle I look after requires daily medication, and can be reactive towards certain dogs. I have known him since he was a puppy and love taking him out for walks and playtime. I am currently on maternity leave. So available most weekdays during the day. I can do weekends on request. Please give as much notice as possible. I will care for your pets at your own house just how you would like them to be cared for. Lots of cuddles, fuss and playtime. Will also ensure you are kept updated with photos and messages throughout your dogs stay.
About: I offer a safe, reliable pet transport and care service using my own secure car.

I can easily accommodate late-day pet transport, emergency vet runs, grooming drop-offs, or evening home visits. Because my routine is consistent, you can rely on me for punctual, dependable care when you need it most. Safety is my absolute priority when transporting and caring for your pets. When using my pet taxi service, your animal will be securely fastened using specialised pet seatbelts, harnesses, or secure travel crates to ensure a smooth and safe journey. If I am visiting your home, I strictly follow your specific routines, double-check that all gates and doors are locked, and maintain a calm, stress-free environment. I will also send you quick text and photo updates after every trip or visit so you always have total peace of mind.
About: We (my husband James and I) can offer a truly home from home experience and host solo dogs if preferred as we no longer have our own pets. We are huge dog lovers and have owned dogs since 2010 but our last one passed in Autumn 25. We love having dog guests to stay and they are treated like a part of the family. Over the past 5 years we have had repeat visits from a Rottweiler, Husky, Boxer and a pair of lovely Spaniels. Between James and I, one of us will always be able to be at home when we have a dog guest as we work flexibly. We are an active family and have countryside walks right outside our door so we are happy to take our dog guests out for fun walks in fields and forests! We have a decent sized secure garden with 6 ft wooden fences. We will happily work with dog owners to understand the routines which work for the dog to support and help them to settle with us.
“David looked after my Portuguese Water Dog for two days and did an excellent job. He kept me updated with messages and photos. Cooper came home happy, relaxed and clearly well cared for. David was professional, reliable and made Cooper feel comfortable from the start. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Cooper with him again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you, David!”
“Winnie had an amazing time. Jade was very accommodating with drop off times and flexible with pick up. Winnie slept which is amazing when she is anywhere but home, so clearly felt relaxed and comfortable. Plenty of fun and play, an amazing day and a tired pup. Would definitely use again. Thanks”
“Doggie heaven, large house with friendly people and dog, huge garden and park for walks right next door. Took our Jack Russell in for the day at short notice and didn’t mind a late pickup.”
About: My wife (Emma) and I love animals. We both grew up in homes with rescue dogs and other pets. We now have our own dog, Joni, who we rescued. We have learnt so much on her recovery journey back into being a "normal" dog - she's a very loving, quirky, gentle soul! We both work freelance and can be flexible with working patterns, so there is usually one of us around at home to look after your dog. I primarily work from home and my wife also sometimes works from home, so we can accommodate 2 walks a day, as well as play and cuddle breaks. We like to spend our evenings watching movies, cuddled up with Joni on the sofa. At the weekends and during time off work, we love going on long walks and generally being out in nature, come rain or shine. We are lucky to have lots of great walks near us and a couple of secure fields where we take Joni for a good run around. Dogs are welcomed as a part of our family when they come to stay. We have an enclosed garden and a peaceful loving home. We have one greyhound cross, Joni, who is very friendly with other dogs and loves to play - she is always very excited to have new friends over to stay. Joni is fully vaccinated, including kennel cough. We only take pets from one owner at a time to ensure everyone gets along and so we can focus our love and attention on your dog(s) and ours.
“Aurora loved her stay with Vanesa, she sent us lots of photos and Aurora come back to us very happy and tired 🐶 We would definitely book again with Vanesa. Fantastic sitter 🐶🤗🐶”
“Bentley had a super time. Came home happy and tired! Thank you Chloe for making this first time so seamless. Looking forward to Bentley having future times with you. Highly recommend!”

About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs - from tiny chihuahuas to great weimaraners! My family have always kept dogs as pets so I have a lot of personal experience. If any one needs a dog sitter (friends, family, neighbours) I am the go to. My regular clients include: 🐾 Pete the Romanian street dog - a senior rescue who I have taken care of since he was just 14 months (he is now 10!). At nearly 30kg, he still thinks he's king of the streets and has some high needs, including lots of play time, long walks and private feeding. A total softie and sweetheart all round. 🐾 Dudley the jackapoo, Lottie the cockapoo, Woody the labradoodle and Rhea the frenchie - these four all live together and have varying needs. Woody being the biggest naturally needs the longest and an extra walk a day, as well as Lottie who is incredibly high energy. She can play fetch until your arm falls off! Dudley is an old man now who needs extra care due to his cataracts and Rhea is a spritely young thing who needs to remain separated from the others at all times. 🐾 Howard the frenchie - Howard is a very laid back and loving frenchie who is now 7. I've known him since he was a pup and although hes not quite an old man yet, his careplan has been adjusted to meet his slowing pace. He still loves playtime but also loves to cuddle up on the sofa and share the bed at night. 🐾 Bella the golden retriever - Bella is another older dog who I've looked after since she was a puppy. The old girl will surprise you though, she's still as active as she was when she was small. I also use to provide care for he little brother Dudley, a black labrador. They use to do everything together, even walks but he sadly passed away. I can currently only provide house sitting on weekends but I can offer walks and drop ins all day, everyday. I hope to offer boarding and day care soon. I have a large garden and my house backs onto ladies walk so plenty of space to run around and lovely countryside for long walks. I have my own small dog (cavapoo), he is friendly but if your dog doesnt like other dogs, I have the means to keep them separated. There is space for a crate if that's what your dog prefers. We usually go for walks morning and evening but this can be adjusted where necessary.
About: I cannot tell you how hard it was to pick photos for a profile page, what dog lover does not have a camera roll just full of photos and videos of their dogs and other people's dogs 😅?! Trying to limit myself was so hard! I've had dogs in my life since I was 5 years old, and I couldn't imagine my life without them. Cocker Spaniels were our family dogs, we had Sadie from a puppy, she was an angel, couldn't have grown up with a better companion. Then we rescued Honey, another Cocker Spaniel, she was also a family dog. My first dog I had as an adult and on my own, was an Italian Greyhound named Mo. He was my soulmate. The most snooziest of all snoozers. Loved nothing more than being with you wherever you went, cafes, friends houses, pottering round the shops, holidays with you. Wherever you were, he was, finding every opportunity to curl up on your lap and take ANOTHER nap. Mo had digestive medical issues so I've had plenty of experience in special diets, and medication control. I will only ever follow your routine. After Mo, I rescued a little Spanish Terrier called Pippin. We also thought he actually had Italian Greyhound in him too, he had these long skinny legs and a little nipped in waist. He had his terrier side to him for sure, but he had all the personality and funny character traits of a Greyhound, running round like a mad goose then crashing 5 minutes later on your lap, fast asleep. Pippin was rescued from a charity, where he was previously a stray, so I had no history on what he was like, or where he had come from. I sought help from a number of professional trainers to help me understand what being a best friend to a rescue dog looks like. Sadly Mo and Pippin are no longer with me, so there will be no resident dog here. This does mean that I can give all my love and attention to your gorgeous four paws, and I can't wait to open my arms to them. I'm really lucky enough to have friends and family who also have dogs, so they are always welcome round mine whenever they need a little holiday retreat of their own. Surrounding myself with dogs is truly my most favourite time of the day. I am currently working from home, so I will be able to spend the day with your bestest furry angels. My work is also portable too, so if needed to board at your home then I can bring my work with me. I am available during the week, and most weekends. I have a 100ft long garden that has 6ft fences all around. Plenty of space for sniffs, sprints and zoomies. Your dog/s are welcome to the whole house, no where is off limits (I'd LOVE some sofa and bed cuddles)!
About: I have many years of animal care experience. From owning my own pets, working on a horse yard, volunteering at animal sanctuary’s and pet sitting for many people regularly over the last 20 years. I am passionate about animal care and no pet is too big or too small for my services! From drop ins to boarding, I love it all! Get in touch to see how I can help you ☺️ I make my own diary for work, so fortunate to have flexibility! I also have my own pets to care for so it’s a part of my usual day. I generally work from home, have 3 very friendly dogs who love company of all creatures! I’m very lucky! I have a large garden and enough room for every one to find space should they want it!

About: Both my partner and I have owned and cared for dogs and cats since we were kids. Always dog sit for family and friends. Go for frequent walks in the countryside and have our own vehicle to transport dogs to and from walks with business insurance. I bathe and feed my mother’s dogs regularly and walk them with my partner around the fields of our home. I work full time mostly from home with the occasional in person meeting and off on weekends so am free around these times for anything needed. I am not normally gone for more than 4 hours however if it is longer my partner also sometimes works from home so with enough notice he can be there If your dog is house trained I can care for them at my home however I can also care for your loved pets in their own home and am able to collect from their home and take them for walks or drop in to feed and play with them for a few hours where needed. I am also able to stay overnight if required.
About: I am currently a University student so am based in Gloucester September - December and Andover June -September and mid December to January!! Am able to be very flexible, can accept sits as soon as 12 hours before and cancellations the same, very happy to work with any and all routines and have experience with disabled, anxious and “difficult” animals and am more than happy to work around whatever makes them comfortable. I have always loved animals and have been surrounded buy them from a young age. we had dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, tortoises and a hedgehog! i have been working and studying with animals for about 8/9 years now and am currently studying Clinical Animal Behavior and Training at University. I honestly love doing rover work while studying as not only does it mean I have a lovely quiet place to study but going out on walks means I get out and about in study breaks which is so important for productivity and mental health. I am currently open for the summer bookings from June to September I will be operating mainly in the south west as I will be based in Andover in Hampshire though could travel further for a long stay. i am currently a student studying animal behavior at university, this means my schedule is quite open, having a full day of lectures on a Tuesday and 2-3 hours on Monday and Thursday. I can essentially learn online and do all of my work from a kitchen table which is perfect for looking after pets. I'm afraid I cannot offer boarding as I live in student accommodation and I wouldn't like to put any dog in a potentially stressful environment! When I'm sitting at the house I will never leave the house for longer than your animal is happy with which we can talk about, as I don't have many other responsibilities I will not have any unexpected reasons to leave. I often spend my days at a kitchen table on a sofa with a dog bed next to me, this way you'll pet can feel that they can come as close or stay as far away as they like! I love a good cuddle but will respect personal space if they prefer. Often first morning/day I try to keep myself "small" so that your animal can investigate me in their home properly this often looks as if I'm ignoring your pet as I want them to feel at ease to investigate me as much as they want and get comfortable with me without me forcing myself into their space. I never, ever mingle any animals be them dogs, cats or hamsters(!) that have not previously met for safety reasons.
About: Hi, my name is Taeya, I am a student of ecology and wildlife conservation at the University of Reading. I have always loved and cared for animals, whether they are pets or wild ones. Having family pets has meant I have developed a great attention for what our furry friends need for a happy and healthy life. I have lived in the countryside most of my life, and I love spending time outdoors, on walks and explorations. Previous jobs, such as dog/cat/house sitting, early years education, and caring for older adults, have enabled me to develop excellent communication skills and an ease in dealing with messes and cleaning. I can be adaptable to all family needs, being a fast learner, I can quickly pick up skills or practices. Working with animals is always a joy, understanding the wonderful and different characters of all pets. I can provide private work references on request. I am a final year university student living at home with my family. I commute to and from Reading a few days a week in term time and study remotely otherwise. My schedule is very flexible and ever-changing. I have a good size fenced garden in the countryside, with 2 small and friendly dogs that are good company. Walks in the area can span from 30 minutes to 4 hours and more. There is also a dog walking park near where I live so that’s a great place to go if dogs need some time off the lead but also in a safe environment.
“Jaco is a lovely person, polite friendly and extremely Helpful. Has a fantastic knowledge about dogs. Always notify me on who the walk went. Which is always nice to know all went well. I would highly recommend him as your dog walker. My dog is very dog reactive and unpredictable. And I trust Jaco can deal with him.”
About: Hello there, I’m Anne and based in Wiltshire (a little town called Ludgershall). I have been petsitting from the age of 15, at the time it used to be one of these jobs you would do to get a little money as a student. However, now it has indeed become more of a serious job and I’m actually glad it has ! This is why I’m currently working on my DWSA Certificate w/ the British College of Canine Studies which would include first aid training. I grew up in South America, I’m originally more of an exotic animal kind of person but after moving to Europe at the age of 16, I found myself loving all animals! I have worked for different charities in different countries like the Brigitte Bardot Foundation and when I was 20, I also worked against the illegal animal trade until my departure to England in 2016. During this time, I rescued most of my pets and filled my family and friends with the animals they still have today. I am now over 30 years old and have had probably all sorts of animals under my care and continue my route looking after them accompanied by my young daughter as I wish her to grow surrounded by animals like I did so she can learn the compassion and respect all beings deserve. We’re a quiet family living in the quiet country side and my husband and mum love to participate in the care of any of our protégés too, we’re even thinking of making it a family business in the future ! We own a chihuahua and a staffy as well as smaller enclosed pets, live in a 3 beds house with a fairly large garden. Unfortunately, my old chihuahua has developed some heart issues last year so we’re not taking in medium/large breeds home anymore but are still able to accommodate smaller dogs or others animals. I’m also always happy to walk/visit/petsit when people get the trust to leave me with their pets/homes. Anne I am home most of the time but when I’m not my husband or mum is. I work with my chihuahua and our staffy stays at home, they both go on at least 1 hour walk a day & have always access to our garden. Everything is organised around the pets as we have always had pets. If I have to stay at someone's place to pet-sit, my husband takes over with our own pets but we do always work as a team. My home has always been safe for kids and animals as I've always had pets and one of my dog is very small. We have a large enclosed garden and a lot of green areas around the house. I do prefer going to the pets' homes when possible as this way, I know the animal is less confused with a new home and strangers.

“Fiona and her family are just the most amazing sitters…I could not recommend more highly!! Barney was so well looked after and I really hope they would have Barney again as I trust them implicitly xxx”
“Amber settled really well with Chloe. It was home from home. Chloe’s young family adored her and Amber was her usual laid back self. Would highly recommend Chloe and not hesitate to use again.”
“It was our first time using the Rover app and we couldn’t have been luckier with picking Carly to look after our puppy! She was wonderful from start to finish! Our dog has just returned from his holiday with Carly and cried at the door for her when she left! Thank you for making the process of leaving him overnight for the first time so easy and being so thoughtful and kind with all your communication! We will 100 per cent be using you again!”

“Grace and Dean did a wonderful job looking after our golden retriever. She was really well cared for and had a fantastic time. We appreciated their pictures, videos and update messages. We would highly recommend Grace if you are looking for someone to board your dog. Thank you so much!!”
“Edfie & William, were great! Lots of pics, videos and update on my dogs stay. Very chilled environment make for a very chilled and happy dog! Will not hesitate to use them again!!!!!”
“Thankyou so much for having Barney! You guys went above and beyond for his needs and were stars sending pictures & videos of him while we was on holiday. Thankyou so much (apologies it’s late life’s been so full on since being home)”
“It was Louie’s first time away from us and Chloe was really good with Louie and asked for advice to make him feel more settled. Would recommend Chloe as despite a few issues of Louie missing us he was welcomed like a member of their family. We felt very relaxed leaving Louie and knew he was being well looked after.”
About: I have a degree in animal management and I have been a genuine dog lover since I was a tiny child! I have two dogs of my own, a beautiful Irish Setter and a Cocker Spaniel. I work from home 4 days a week and love to walk in the countryside where I live. I am able to do up to three walks a day and while I’m at home boarders will have access to a generous fenced garden. Boarders will sleep and be fed separately to my dogs to prevent any issues and can be walked separately if required. I work predominantly from home Tues-Friday and typically do a walk in the morning before breakfast, a walk at lunchtime if the weather is not excessively hot (rain doesn’t bother us!) and a walk in the evening before dinner. Dogs are given access to the garden during the day when I am home to supervise. On Mondays dogs are left between 8:30 and 3pm but are walked before I leave and upon my return. Boarders will be kept apart from my own dogs when unsupervised. I have a fenced garden that has proved secure for both of my dogs. Both my dogs are friendly, dog-social and are up to date on their flea, tick, worming and vaccinations. I have two young children who are used to interacting with dogs however children and dogs are never left alone unsupervised or allowed to play without adult assistance. Boarding dogs are always fed and sleep separately to my own dogs.
“Bear had a lovely time staying with Sophie on her farm with her two dogs and the beautiful alpacas! She was responsive and sent lots of photos whilst I was away. It was my first time in a while leaving Bear with someone new, so I was nervous. But Sophie was great at calming my nerves and she took great care of Bear for me. He can be fussy with his eating, but she was happy to make adjustments for Bear as he needed them and was super flexible. I will definitely be asking Sophie to look after Bear again! 🐻 🖤”
“Oh my word what a happy Oscar, after his little holiday with Aston and his pack. His beautifully well-behaved dogs accepted Oscar immediately as one of their own, and he had the best time running and playing in the countryside with his new pals. What was most reassuring was that Aston speaks 'dog' fluently - I knew immediately he was in safe hands. 11/10 would recommend.”
“Very lucky to have found Pedro and his family to look after our Labrador, Tipsy, for 10 days. He kept us posted of Tipsy's adventures and she was treated like part of their family. We would absolutely use them again. Thank you ☺️”
“My previous experience on Rover (not with Eleanor and Raymond) was horrific, which left me hesitant to leave my dog, Genie, with anybody... When I met Eleanor and Raymond for a meet and greet, they were shocked, compassionate and reassuring - I got a sense they were a good fit for me and Genie. Before the main booking, we agreed to do a trial sleepover to make sure everybody was a good fit and it went great! Eleanor and Raymond are both lovely, I now have peace of mind knowing Genie will be in safe hands going forward”
“Pernille and her partner were absolutely lovely and our St Bernard Rufus had the best time with them. Pernille communicated consistently during his stay, sent photos and was happy to have an initial video call to show us the house and make sure it was okay for our elderly large dog. They gave him lots of fuss and attention and had a lovely home and garden perfect for him. I would be happy for Rufus to stay with them again!”
“Natalie looked after our little man, our Golden Retriever, whilst we attended a wedding. If you want top quality care, incredible enthusiasm and a genuine love for your canine companion, then look no further! Natalie took all our points and questions into consideration and made us feel very reassured about her looking after our pup. We had a video call prior to his stay to give an outline of his needs and points to consider, which was greatly appreciated. Whilst we were away, Natalie provided us with regular updates, which included pictures and videos. Cannot fault the quality of care provided and if we are in the area again and require some dog care, we will absolutely be booking Natalie!”
“Kate and her partner looked after my dog, Charlie, for a full week, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. They kept me updated throughout with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. During the heatwave, they made sure Charlie stayed cool and comfortable and took him for early morning walks before it got too hot, which I really appreciated. They listened to everything I asked and followed all of my requests perfectly. They also picked Charlie up and dropped him back home, making everything so easy. On top of all that, their price was very reasonable and great value for the level of care Charlie received. They are both such lovely, caring people, and it was clear Charlie was very well looked after and happy with them. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kate again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, genuinely caring, and great value. Thank you both so much! Charlie cant wait to come back 🐾”
