“Peter has such a great rapport with Eloise. It is clear in the daily videos and photos that she is relaxed, is getting a lot of attention and is well cared for. I recommend Peter's pet boarding services.”
“Lucinda was absolutely wonderful with Marley. She looked after her for four days and did everything to make her feel comfortable and welcome. Lucinda was professional, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took Marley on regular walks and sent us updates and pictures, which was really reassuring while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for better care – highly recommended!”
“Well what can I say, Bonnie lived her best life staying with Wan Jeong, what a kind, sweet soul. She was so good with Bonnie, spending lots of time with her and taking her out to run around in the open. We had daily updates and lots of lovely pictures which meant we had no worries whilst we were away as we knew she was getting the best care being well looked after. We could tell Bonnie was very settled and happy. We will definitely leave her with this lovely lady again. Thank you again for taking such good care of our lovely Bonnie x”
“So lucky to have found Elisa and her family. My first go with Rover care and Elisa’s also. We had a meet and greet session before leaving Dolly with them and to be honest, couldn’t fault them. Knowledgeable, understanding, caring and I had no qualms that my nervous dog wouldn’t receive the best attention during her stay. I was kept informed and sent pictures every day she was there. Will DEFINITELY contact them again if the need arises.”
About: I've always loved dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I provide a safe, caring, and reliable service, treating every dog as if they were my own. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds, including energetic puppies and older dogs that need a slower pace and extra patience. I'm happy to stick to your dog's normal routine, including feeding schedules, administering oral medication if required, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. Being active means I can provide long walks and engaging exercise for high-energy dogs, while also understanding when a quieter, gentler approach is needed for senior pets. I'm reliable, punctual, and know how important communication is, so I'll keep you updated with messages and photos while you're away for complete peace of mind. My priority is making sure your dog feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for, so you can relax knowing they're in safe hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy being active and make time every day for walks, outdoor exercise, and spending time with dogs. This means I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their usual routine, so I'm happy to follow your dog's normal schedule, whether that's early morning walks, medication, meal times, or evening cuddles. I have a flexible schedule and always make sure the pets in my care receive the time, attention, and affection they deserve. For me, looking after dogs isn't just a job—it's something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while keeping to their normal routine. I take the time to get to know each dog's personality, feeding schedule, walking routine, and any special requirements before their stay. I provide plenty of exercise, playtime, mental stimulation, and, of course, lots of affection. Fresh water is always available, and I make sure pets have a clean, comfortable place to rest. If I'm caring for your dog in your home, I'll respect your property as if it were my own while maintaining your pet's usual routine to help them feel settled. I'm also happy to administer oral medication if needed, provide regular toilet breaks, and send photo and message updates so you know your pet is happy and well looked after. I understand how much pets mean to their families, so I treat every dog with the same care, patience, and attention I'd give my own.
About: Hi, I’m Michelle — a warm, friendly animal lover based in Canterbury. I live with my German Shorthaired Pointer, Otis, and two cats, Brownie and Peanut, so I’m very used to a busy, happy home with different personalities and energy levels. I’m new to offering dog care through Rover, but I bring years of real‑life experience as a dedicated pet owner. Living with both a high‑energy dog and calm, independent cats has taught me how to create a relaxed, safe environment where animals feel comfortable and understood. My approach is gentle, reliable, and calm. I’m easy to communicate with, and I’ll always make sure you feel updated and reassured while your dog is with me. I currently have plenty of flexibility in my week, which means I can offer reliable support for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop‑ins, and spending quality time with your animals. I live with my GSP and two cats, so I’m used to supporting pets with different needs and personalities. We have a safe, fully walled garden where dogs can relax and explore securely. I’m happy to separate animals when needed, and I can crate dogs safely and kindly — Otis used to be crated, so I’m very familiar with this. I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pets feel comfortable, secure, and well looked after. I enjoy taking dogs on both long, scenic walks and shorter, interesting routes depending on what suits them best.
“Wonderful! Jelena was so accommodating with drop-off/collection times, really helpful. Bodhi had a lovely time, Jelena kept me updated and looked after her so well. Throughly recommend.”
“Sophie is a lovely young lady and she was confident around my dog from the moment she met him. I've not used online services such as Rover before so I was a little trepudatious as to whether I had made the right decision but felt as Sophie was local to where I was staying, I would be able to extricate Merlot should I find this kind of service wasn't right for him. I need not have worried, from the start I had reassuring messages from Sophie and my confidence grew in her. From the moment I met Sophie she welcomed Merlot with an open door and arms, she was very keen to listen to all I had to say about Merlot and literally opened her home to him. Her home is clean and inviting and she allowed Merlot the opportunity to check out his environment with no words of caution and no restrictions, which assured me he was going to have a home from home experience and that Sophie was ready to give him the love and care he deserved while in her charge. I had no doubt I could put my trust in Sophie. We experienced difficulty communicating due to the centre of Canterbury having the lousiest WiFi and text connections (I was aware of this years ago and it hasn't really improved) and Sophie was very patient, letting me know she'd not received replies from me. All in all I was reassured Merlot was being well looked after and this enabled me to enjoy and immerse myself in my weekend of singing workshop. On my way home I stopped off to walk Merlot and spoke to a fellow dog owner and gave recommendations for Sophie and Rover's services. I will recommend to family and friends throughout the UK and I would like to thank Sophie so much for enabling me to have such an amazing weekend xxx”
“Bodie had a fabulous time with Lisa Jake & Huxley. Lots of good walks, often with other dogs, which she loves. I got regular "Pup-dates" showing a totally carefree dog. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone wanting peace of mind when leaving their pet.”
“Kayleigh was absolutely fantastic with Wes, our rescue greyhound. It was the second time he stayed with Kayleigh and it was obvious from the pictures she sent that he had an absolute blast and felt extremely comfortable in her care. We had consistent updates from Kayleigh and felt we could completely trust her with Wes, even though we don't often leave him and he's getting on in years. I would not hesitate to reccomend Kayleigh to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter.”
“our Canela and Cocco became good friends that even nap together. Really enjoy all the updates (pictures and videos) of our girl as we can see a different side to her while in a home away from our home. :) She is always well looked after and happy and I always have peace of mind when she is looked after by Andrea and Supriya. Thank you so much for always being reliable and also for the last minute flexibility. Really appreciate it.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs as part of the family and have had my own dog for the past 16 years. This has given me experience caring for a dog through every stage of life, including their later years. I now have a young dog again, so I also have recent experience of puppy life, training and all that comes with it! Dogs continue to be a big part of our family, and I love getting out for walks, exploring and watching them play. I’m a mum and spend most of my time at home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give dogs the care, attention and company they need. I’m available for walks, daycare and boarding. I’m flexible and happy to work around each dog’s individual routine. I have a secure, fenced garden and a loving, dog-friendly home. Your dog will be treated as one of my own, with plenty of attention, companionship, play and care. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and settled, while following their usual routine and any specific needs.
“This was the first time our 1 year old puppy had spent a night away from us, and Jane took really good care of her - walks, toys, playing in the garden, and taking extra time to settle her at bedtime. Jane sent photo messages so we could see how well Gracie had settled. When we collected Gracie it was clear she was very happy with Jane. We are so pleased to have found such a lovely place for Gracie to stay when we need to travel without her.”
“Dean and family are brilliant with Hollie… who has been to stay on numerous occasions with them. This time she arrived with some medication from the vets, and Dean was so accommodating, and it was reassuring to know we could go on our holidays knowing Hollie was in such good care. Thank you 😊”
“This was the first time I’ve ever used this service for my 3 month old puppy! But all the way through Katrina was prompt to respond and I had lots of photos and updates throughout, making me feel very happy and confident my puppy was happy! I couldn’t have been happier with this experience and will def use Katrina and her sister again. Very friendly and professional with all that they did with my pup! Highly recommend.”

“Ziggy spent a few nights with Meghan and knowing he was so well taken care of really helped me relax on my holiday. Meghan sent photos, videos and updates on how he was doing in the heatwave. He got on really well with her dog and will definitely be back to visit again. Thoroughly recommend Meghan to anyone anxious about leaving their beloved pet with her. 🥰”

“Erika was fantastic. This was my first time leaving Nellie for more than a couple of days and with someone she doesn't know. I thought the cat would be shy and hide but no, I got daily updates of her playing with Erika and enjoying strokes. It made it so much easier for me knowing she was being looked after and was getting regular attention. Got daily photos and videos which was lovely. I will definitely be using her again.”
About: I've had pets all my life and have always loved animals. During university, I rescued a cat with my housemate and cared for them for two years. For the past year, I've been cat sitting for my neighbours, helping with feeding, medication, litter, playtime and lots of cuddles! I love getting to know each cat and making sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for while you're away.

“Miriam was a wonderful sitter for our 2 nervous cats. She was reliable & a great communicator, giving us updates while we were away. We found everything as we would expect it coming home & our cats were entirely themselves. She’s definitely a cat person & took time and care with our kitties which we appreciated. We’d absolutely book her again. ”

I currently have plenty of flexibility in my week, which means I can offer reliable support for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop‑ins, and spending quality time with your animals. I live with my GSP and two cats, so I’m used to supporting pets with different needs and personalities. We have a safe, fully walled garden where dogs can relax and explore securely. I’m happy to separate animals when needed, and I can crate dogs safely and kindly — Otis used to be crated, so I’m very familiar with this. I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pets feel comfortable, secure, and well looked after. I enjoy taking dogs on both long, scenic walks and shorter, interesting routes depending on what suits them best.
“5 stars for Katrina and her sister!!! Really friendly, confident and very knowledgeable and considerate to Ruby. Ruby can be a bit shy but really enjoyed the walk with the girls!! Thank you and highly recommended 😁”
About: I've always loved dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I provide a safe, caring, and reliable service, treating every dog as if they were my own. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds, including energetic puppies and older dogs that need a slower pace and extra patience. I'm happy to stick to your dog's normal routine, including feeding schedules, administering oral medication if required, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. Being active means I can provide long walks and engaging exercise for high-energy dogs, while also understanding when a quieter, gentler approach is needed for senior pets. I'm reliable, punctual, and know how important communication is, so I'll keep you updated with messages and photos while you're away for complete peace of mind. My priority is making sure your dog feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for, so you can relax knowing they're in safe hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy being active and make time every day for walks, outdoor exercise, and spending time with dogs. This means I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their usual routine, so I'm happy to follow your dog's normal schedule, whether that's early morning walks, medication, meal times, or evening cuddles. I have a flexible schedule and always make sure the pets in my care receive the time, attention, and affection they deserve. For me, looking after dogs isn't just a job—it's something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while keeping to their normal routine. I take the time to get to know each dog's personality, feeding schedule, walking routine, and any special requirements before their stay. I provide plenty of exercise, playtime, mental stimulation, and, of course, lots of affection. Fresh water is always available, and I make sure pets have a clean, comfortable place to rest. If I'm caring for your dog in your home, I'll respect your property as if it were my own while maintaining your pet's usual routine to help them feel settled. I'm also happy to administer oral medication if needed, provide regular toilet breaks, and send photo and message updates so you know your pet is happy and well looked after. I understand how much pets mean to their families, so I treat every dog with the same care, patience, and attention I'd give my own.
About: Hello there I’m Nicola, a caring and highly experienced dog walker/ sitter serving Canterbury and surrounding villages. I only look after solo pets and those from the same household. My 'speciality' is reassuring nervous dogs (as well as anxious owners!) I can be flexibly with my availability; whether you need regular weekday walks or occasional pet services. I work fully remotely so make a great daytime companion (I am a part-time researcher/ advocate for refugee rights). If you require a pet service not explicit on my profile do get in touch, I am always open to new ideas and learning new skills. I have had rescue dogs throughout my life, including "failed" police dogs and elderly dogs. Previously, I fostered Romanian rescue dogs, ahead of helping them find their forever homes. I have cared for puppies, elderly pets and those with mobility and/ or health considerations. I already have some regular dog walking Clients but have recently gained capacity to take on more work (I am new to Rover). I am now also available for pet sitting whether at my home or yours. I have an enclosed garden, and my home is located a short distance from public footpaths and fields. After saying goodbye to my beloved fur-son last year I do not currently have pets myself (still too bereft!) I have a primary school aged child who is very used to dogs of all ages and sizes (but this would need to be considered ahead of overnight stays my home). I have 25+ years' experience caring for my own/ other people's pets, including in their own homes. As well as previously fostering Romanian rescue dogs, I have cared for puppies, elderly pets and those with health considerations. I am also highly experienced in working with vulnerable people. I hold an enhanced DBS check and my own insurance.

What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, unlimited patience, and caring nature.

About: I am a reliable and accountable pet sitter with over 3 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, from small breeds to larger animals. I have provided pet sitting services for friends and am comfortable handling multiple pets at once while ensuring each receives proper attention and care. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, and administering medication, always following owner instructions closely to maintain your pet’s routine and wellbeing. I prioritise safety, including responsible leash handling and creating a calm, secure environment for your pets.

I also provide timely updates with photos and videos so owners can stay reassured and connected with their pets while away.

“We highly recommend Cheri. In addition to being very professional and reliable, our dog immediately clearly enjoyed being with her. Cheri took the time to understand our dog's needs and preferences. It's great to know our dog is in such good hands. Five stars!”
About: I'm a lifelong pet owner, including horses, cats and - most notably - dogs. I've raised and cared for three dogs from puppies through to old age, plus adopting one rescue dog. These have been Alsatians, Welsh Collies and (we think!) some kind of Whippet/ Saluki cross. I've also got plenty of experience with a range of other breeds through friends and family. I understand that the most important thing for your own and your pet's happiness is to support your care and training approach, and am committed to working with you to keep everyone's tails wagging! I work flexibly from home, so can generally be very flexible in terms of availability. The only day with limited availability is a Sunday, due to family commitments, but otherwise can work around your schedule. Within your home, I would look to maintain a normal routine as much as possible to minimise any impact on your dog. I am happy to dispense medication, as well as feed, entertain and walk. I can also water plants and provide basic care for other pets if required. I understand and respect that this is your home, and would look to return it to you in the same condition it was in at the beginning of the visit.
About: I am the pet parent of two large rescue dogs that are now getting on in years - but I’ve seen it all! I’ve been a regular dog walker for neighbours, so I’m familiar with all ages from puppy through to senior, and all personalities including high-energy breeds, reactive dogs, and those that pull. I know great local routes for doggie adventures tailored to your pet’s needs. I work from home on a flexible schedule, and am always interested in an opportunity for a brisk walk or a home visit with a furry friend. I'm often available for last minute bookings. Each dog has unique needs, and I am careful to follow any instructions specific to your pet, including reinforcing your training routines. I prioritize your pet’s safety, having completed a dog emergency first aid course. When doing house visits I will ensure your home remains secure and clean while providing personalized care to keep your pet comfortable and happy.

“Wonderful! Jelena was so accommodating with drop-off/collection times, really helpful. Bodhi had a lovely time, Jelena kept me updated and looked after her so well. Throughly recommend.”
“Sophie is a lovely young lady and she was confident around my dog from the moment she met him. I've not used online services such as Rover before so I was a little trepudatious as to whether I had made the right decision but felt as Sophie was local to where I was staying, I would be able to extricate Merlot should I find this kind of service wasn't right for him. I need not have worried, from the start I had reassuring messages from Sophie and my confidence grew in her. From the moment I met Sophie she welcomed Merlot with an open door and arms, she was very keen to listen to all I had to say about Merlot and literally opened her home to him. Her home is clean and inviting and she allowed Merlot the opportunity to check out his environment with no words of caution and no restrictions, which assured me he was going to have a home from home experience and that Sophie was ready to give him the love and care he deserved while in her charge. I had no doubt I could put my trust in Sophie. We experienced difficulty communicating due to the centre of Canterbury having the lousiest WiFi and text connections (I was aware of this years ago and it hasn't really improved) and Sophie was very patient, letting me know she'd not received replies from me. All in all I was reassured Merlot was being well looked after and this enabled me to enjoy and immerse myself in my weekend of singing workshop. On my way home I stopped off to walk Merlot and spoke to a fellow dog owner and gave recommendations for Sophie and Rover's services. I will recommend to family and friends throughout the UK and I would like to thank Sophie so much for enabling me to have such an amazing weekend xxx”
“Bodie had a fabulous time with Lisa Jake & Huxley. Lots of good walks, often with other dogs, which she loves. I got regular "Pup-dates" showing a totally carefree dog. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone wanting peace of mind when leaving their pet.”
“Kayleigh was absolutely fantastic with Wes, our rescue greyhound. It was the second time he stayed with Kayleigh and it was obvious from the pictures she sent that he had an absolute blast and felt extremely comfortable in her care. We had consistent updates from Kayleigh and felt we could completely trust her with Wes, even though we don't often leave him and he's getting on in years. I would not hesitate to reccomend Kayleigh to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter.”
“our Canela and Cocco became good friends that even nap together. Really enjoy all the updates (pictures and videos) of our girl as we can see a different side to her while in a home away from our home. :) She is always well looked after and happy and I always have peace of mind when she is looked after by Andrea and Supriya. Thank you so much for always being reliable and also for the last minute flexibility. Really appreciate it.”
“This was the first time our 1 year old puppy had spent a night away from us, and Jane took really good care of her - walks, toys, playing in the garden, and taking extra time to settle her at bedtime. Jane sent photo messages so we could see how well Gracie had settled. When we collected Gracie it was clear she was very happy with Jane. We are so pleased to have found such a lovely place for Gracie to stay when we need to travel without her.”
“Dean and family are brilliant with Hollie… who has been to stay on numerous occasions with them. This time she arrived with some medication from the vets, and Dean was so accommodating, and it was reassuring to know we could go on our holidays knowing Hollie was in such good care. Thank you 😊”
“This was the first time I’ve ever used this service for my 3 month old puppy! But all the way through Katrina was prompt to respond and I had lots of photos and updates throughout, making me feel very happy and confident my puppy was happy! I couldn’t have been happier with this experience and will def use Katrina and her sister again. Very friendly and professional with all that they did with my pup! Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have had a cat throughout my life, so animals have always been a bit part of my life. My grandparents also used to regularly dog-sit, which meant that I grew up around lots of different dogs and loved caring for them.

I’m available throughout the week and at the weekends and am happy to work around your pets usual routine. I have a secure, fenced garden and a friendly cat at home, and am used to having animals around. I’ll always take the time to understand your pets individual routine, personality, and will follow any instructions you provide carefully.

“Ziggy spent a few nights with Meghan and knowing he was so well taken care of really helped me relax on my holiday. Meghan sent photos, videos and updates on how he was doing in the heatwave. He got on really well with her dog and will definitely be back to visit again. Thoroughly recommend Meghan to anyone anxious about leaving their beloved pet with her. 🥰”
“Yevgeniia took great care of Toby and was supportive with his needs and made him feel relaxed and settled whilst we were at work. With a lot of knowledge of dog behaviours, I would feel confident in Toby staying again and would recommend. Thank you for your support :)”
“Just picked up Lola after a 5 day stay with Natalia. This was her second stay and again she was a very happy girl. She had 3 walks a day and loved to play ball. Natalia kept us updated and frequently sent pictures that were very reassuring. Next time Lola will have a longer stay. Highly recommended.”
“James and Heather were fantastic! Grace loved them and loved her stay there. They sent me updates, photos and videos and I can honestly say I don’t think I’ve seen Grace so happy with a border. I highly recommend them (although I didn’t want to as I want to keep them all for myself!) 🤣”
About: I am a flexible dog walker, with patience and 1 - 1 care. Perfect for dogs who are a little bit more challenging and need more attention I currently have 1 regular dog who I walk minimum 3 times a week in the morning. I would love to extend my care to more dogs to walk! I live in a doggy friendly house with a large enclosed garden. Id be able to offer regular walks and have loads of fields in my area. I have no dog equipment so you would need to provide bedding or crates if need.
“I recently booked an overnight stay for my boy Tate, and it was his very first night away from us. Although there were a few challenges from him, the communication throughout was excellent and really put us at ease. She treated Tate like an absolute king Lab, patient, caring, and completely dedicated to making him comfortable. It was clear he was in safe, loving hands. I didn’t hesitate to book back in, and I’m genuinely grateful for the kindness you and your family showed him. Highly recommended.”
