Stephanie did a great job of looking after Sonny at quite short notice, provided a reassuring update at the end of the first day and demonstrating much appreciated flexibility when our delayed return flight threatened our ability to collect him on time. We will be back!

Eddie had a lovely time at Allison's and was really well looked after, as shown by the walks on his tracker and the fact he actually ate all his food, (something he has not always done when he's stayed away). I received regular updates from Allison and felt very confident that he was getting plenty of love and attention. I will not hesitate to use Allison again.

About: Hi there, I am Lisa. My wife and I work from home and we would love to have your lovely dog come stay with us! We currently have a gorgeous 2y old black miniature poodle boy (neutered) who is very friendly and easy-going. I also had another dog previously from puppy to 15 y old, so I am an experienced owner and comfortable with all sizes, breeds and personalities! We know how important it is to find someone local you can trust - we hope we can be those people for you and will care for your pet as if they are our own, with plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles and regular photo updates. Happy to meet before and see how we get on! With our dog we do a big walk in the morning and late-afternoon/evening at one of our dogs many favourite spots - the park, forest or seaside. Our poodle loves the water so a swim is definitely on the cards for a hot day! Then they can cuddle up while we both work at home usually. We break the day up with games in the garden, like fetch, tug or find-it, and are always available for cuddles. We're happy to adapt to your dogs energy and requirements. We have a decent sized bungalow with a big garden and secure fence. Your dog can make themselves comfortable wherever they fancy and we will always keep an eye on them while they are settling in.

About: I have over 30 years of experience owning and caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, including Border Collies, Jack Russell Terriers, Bedlington Terriers, Labradors, and Cocker Spaniels. Throughout the years, I have developed a deep understanding of the unique personalities, traits, and needs of different dogs, adapting my care to help each one thrive. I have supported dogs through every stage of life, from puppyhood to adulthood and into their senior years, providing nurturing care, training, guidance, and companionship. I am passionate about building strong bonds with animals and helping them become happy, well-rounded, and confident companions. In addition to dogs, I have also owned and cared for several cats, which has further strengthened my knowledge and love of animal care. I am extremely passionate about animals and pride myself on providing a professional, reliable, and compassionate service. I dedicate my full attention, energy, and experience to every dog and cat I care for, treating them as if they were my own. Families can trust that their beloved pets will receive the highest level of care, attention, and affection while in my hands. I am self-employed and work flexible hours, which allows me to tailor my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care. This flexibility means I am available for daytime visits, evening care, weekends, holidays, and overnight stays. I can provide reliable and consistent care, ensuring dogs receive the attention, exercise, companionship, and routine they need while their owners are away. I am happy to care for pets in their own home through house sitting, helping them remain comfortable in familiar surroundings while giving owners peace of mind that both their pets and property are safe and secure. Alternatively, I can provide a warm, welcoming home environment with a secure garden, ideally located near the coast and the New Forest for enjoyable walks and outdoor adventures. As there are no other animals in my home, your pet will receive my full attention in a calm and stress-free setting.

Thank you so much. If I could give 10 stars for recommendation I would.

Fantastic, Ferris had a wonderful time staying with Joanna. She welcomed him into her home and treated him like her own, he had plenty of exercise and adventures. I could not ask for more. She kept in touch and let us know how he was doing throughout his stay, especially important for us as he had only stayed in kennels before. Thank you Jo, we will get some more trips booked up and some stays booked in!

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, studied animal science at college and am now studying marine biology at university. I trained my dog from a puppy (who i miss very much at uni!) so understand behaviour, and have experience working within multiple veterinary practices as a voluntary patient care assistant. I have also been entrusted to take care of multiple neighbours dogs, house-sitting and walks, including giving insulin injections. I’m currently on my summer break from university so have lots of availability alongside my summer lifeguarding job, and I enjoy early mornings so am happy to provide early walks! I am currently unable to offer services within my home but am happy to come to you! I understand that every dog has different needs and I will go above and beyond to ensure they are comfortable.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and we now have an almost 2 year old Labrador called Wilbur. We are based on the Dorset and Hampshire border, with a large garden which backs in to woodland and a lovely lake. We are also not too far away from gorgeous beaches too. Our family consists of myself and my husband and our two young teenage boys - we love dogs, and make time to play with them each day - offering enrichment activities, fun games, paddling in our little doggy pool (when it’s warm) and also essential, comfy down time. I work from home and very part time so I am around every day. I take my dog out for walks early morning and evening, but I’m flexible and able to fit around your pets routine. I have a fenced, closed in garden and one very friendly young golden Labrador. I have the space to crate if needed and lots of cozy spaces in the house.

Nyomi was amazing from start to finish! Eric absolutely loved spending the day with her, as soon as he got in he curled up on the sofa and slept so I know ut was a day well spent. Nyomi’s flexibility was great I messaged pretty late with my request and she’s came straight back which made me feel at ease. I had pupdates throughout the day, which was lovely and Eric was having such a fab time on his walk. Will absolutely use Nyomi again! I felt Eric was in amazing hands and I highly recommend!

About: My beloved dog, Crumble, joined tennis ball heaven last year and ever since then, there has been a huge paw shaped hole in our hearts. Life means it’s tricky to have our own fur baby again for a few years and instead, we’ve enjoyed the company of others. We have had dogs for over 20 years and are very comfortable with excitable young puppies as much as caring for senior dogs with medication needs etc. I am a secondary school teacher, teaching locally in a comprehensive for over 20 years being Head of Subject and Head of Year. Tristan also works as a specialist technician at school. We would love to use our weekends and school holidays between now and Christmas this year for furry companionship. In addition to teaching in school, I also privately tutor and work from home two to three days a week and therefore also have the ability to do some term time day based care and support until Christmas 2026. Thereafter, I am solely working from home on a part time basis, and won’t be in school and so will have full availability to be able to have dog company all day, every day. We promise to offer love, care and undivided attention for your pooch! We currently work part time and full time in a local school. This means that in school holiday time we have no work and can just give full attention to your dog’s needs. The same applies for weekends throughout the school year and any week day care we have capacity for up until Christmas this year. Then from January l will solely working from home on a part time basis as I will just have my private tutoring business and therefore have full capacity for every option for dog care all day, every day . If we have a dog with us it will never be left unsupervised and will always have at least one of our full attention I am just completing my Professional Dog Walkers and Sitters qualification with the British College of Canine Studies. I have also purchased independent insurance for your peace of mind. We have the luxury of going between two accommodations in the area. Our home has a fenced garden with lovely walks around the Mudeford quay and Mudeford woods patch. We also have a sizeable static caravan at Hoburne which dogs love coming to stay with us at. Here, we have the joys of being right on our private cliff top and the beach and sea in front, alongside the easy option of getting in to the forest for walks. It’s doggy heaven! We don’t have any pets of our own presently and instead are enjoying the company and companionship of others

About: I have a genuine love for animals and share my home with my friendly 5 year old, medium size Cockapoo, Ralph, who loves having canine companions to play with 🐶🐶. Based in Burton, Christchurch, we're perfectly located near beautiful fields, farms, the forest, and the beach, providing plenty of variety for fun, enriching walks to suit every dog. Whist at home, your pet will also have access to a fully enclosed, secure rear garden where they can safely relax and play between adventures. I provide a caring, home from home environment where your dog will receive lots of attention, exercise, and affection while you're away. If your pet prefers a single pet environment, we’ve got you covered. I keep my own dog Ralph, with me every other week, which leaves plenty of space for animals that prefer no other pets around. Please ensure to include this in your enquiry and i will be able to advise the weeks this is possible. I work fully from home during the week, offering flexibility with both drop off and collection times. During the week I typically walk my dog in the morning and afternoon, but flexible to cater to your pets needs equally. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home offers a spacious downstairs area where dogs are free to relax and feel at home, along with a fully enclosed, secure rear garden for safe outdoor play and toilet breaks. I only care for a small number of dogs at a time, allowing me to give each one plenty of attention, supervision, and care. My own friendly Cockapoo, Ralph, also provides a calm and sociable companion for dogs who enjoy the company of others.

I provide caring, reliable and responsible pet care tailored to each pet’s needs and routine. Depending on the service, this can include dog walking, feeding, playtime, companionship, toilet breaks and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every animal is different, so I take the time to get to know their personality, preferences and requirements. I’m honest, down-to-earth and dependable, and I want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable and confident in my care. I’m happy to follow your usual routines and any specific instructions you have, as I know how important it is for pets to feel settled and secure while you’re away.

I currently provide 1-to-1 care in the community on a rota basis, which gives me the flexibility and time to provide caring and attentive support to our four-legged friends. I’m reliable, honest and flexible, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’m based near Iford Playing Fields, which is ideal for enjoyable walks and plenty of fresh air. I have a secure, medium-sized garden where pets can enjoy some safe outdoor time and play.

About: I have always had a dog growing up from a young age. Unfortunately I lost my fur baby a few years ago and miss the company of dogs. I will always treat your dog as my own with all the love and care I provide. I have done lots of dog sitting for a lot of my friends and family. I have also worked as a zoo keeper which proves my love for animals. I also have first aid dog training. Pet care fits perfectly around my photography. I have a lot of free time between working so it would be nice to fill this time looking after your pet. I will care for your pet in the pet owners home and follow the routines you provide. In my home I have a secure garden which can be used for toilet breaks. I have lots of space for your pet to settle in. This includes walks, food, medication if needed, training and anything else you require.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, studied animal science at college and am now studying marine biology at university. I trained my dog from a puppy (who i miss very much at uni!) so understand behaviour, and have experience working within multiple veterinary practices as a voluntary patient care assistant. I have also been entrusted to take care of multiple neighbours dogs, house-sitting and walks, including giving insulin injections. I’m currently on my summer break from university so have lots of availability alongside my summer lifeguarding job, and I enjoy early mornings so am happy to provide early walks! I am currently unable to offer services within my home but am happy to come to you! I understand that every dog has different needs and I will go above and beyond to ensure they are comfortable.

Eddie had a lovely time at Allison's and was really well looked after, as shown by the walks on his tracker and the fact he actually ate all his food, (something he has not always done when he's stayed away). I received regular updates from Allison and felt very confident that he was getting plenty of love and attention. I will not hesitate to use Allison again.

About: Hi there, I am Lisa. My wife and I work from home and we would love to have your lovely dog come stay with us! We currently have a gorgeous 2y old black miniature poodle boy (neutered) who is very friendly and easy-going. I also had another dog previously from puppy to 15 y old, so I am an experienced owner and comfortable with all sizes, breeds and personalities! We know how important it is to find someone local you can trust - we hope we can be those people for you and will care for your pet as if they are our own, with plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles and regular photo updates. Happy to meet before and see how we get on! With our dog we do a big walk in the morning and late-afternoon/evening at one of our dogs many favourite spots - the park, forest or seaside. Our poodle loves the water so a swim is definitely on the cards for a hot day! Then they can cuddle up while we both work at home usually. We break the day up with games in the garden, like fetch, tug or find-it, and are always available for cuddles. We're happy to adapt to your dogs energy and requirements. We have a decent sized bungalow with a big garden and secure fence. Your dog can make themselves comfortable wherever they fancy and we will always keep an eye on them while they are settling in.

About: Hi, I'm Andy, I'm a reliable, caring animal lover based in the New Forest. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog, because I consider my dog a part of the family. My goal is to make sure every dog in my care feels safe, happy, and well looked after while you're away. I've spent years around dogs and have had my beagle Lando for 5 years. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog loves long forest walks, playing, or simply curling up for a cuddle (on the furniture), I'm happy to tailor my care to suit them. I'm dependable, calm, and very atuned to a dogs needs. I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is having a great time. What you can expect from me: * Friendly and dependable care * Plenty of exercise and attention * Regular photo and video updates * Care tailored to your dog's routine * A safe, and loving environment I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! I'm available at weekends for day care and overnight boarding at our home in the New Forest. No availability during the week as I work full time. I have a large walled garden that's completely secure, dogs are welcome to come in and out as they please. I'm very relaxed so dogs are welcome on furniture and I have space for their crate / bed if that's how they prefer to sleep. I have a crate in the car that I can use to transport your dog for longer walks or you can supply your own. I have children so your dog must be trustworthy and used to being around them. I also have a lovely beagle called Lando who is great around other dogs and a fantastic companion.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and we now have an almost 2 year old Labrador called Wilbur. We are based on the Dorset and Hampshire border, with a large garden which backs in to woodland and a lovely lake. We are also not too far away from gorgeous beaches too. Our family consists of myself and my husband and our two young teenage boys - we love dogs, and make time to play with them each day - offering enrichment activities, fun games, paddling in our little doggy pool (when it’s warm) and also essential, comfy down time. I work from home and very part time so I am around every day. I take my dog out for walks early morning and evening, but I’m flexible and able to fit around your pets routine. I have a fenced, closed in garden and one very friendly young golden Labrador. I have the space to crate if needed and lots of cozy spaces in the house.

This being our first time using Rover we were very pleased with the service. From the outset communication with Mark was easy. Responding quickly to queries. As soon as Bondi arrived at their home she was welcomed by two and four legged new friends. I was reassured during the sit. Would definately recommend. Thank you.

Can’t thank Sam enough for taking care of Tommy on his first ever overnight stay and treating him like his own! I was a little anxious but Sam was so accommodating, doing whatever he could to make Tommy’s stay a relaxing experience for everyone. Updates were provided to ease my mind and ultimately Tommy had the best time hanging out with Sam and going on some exciting new walks. 10/10 will definitely be booking in again! ☺️

I’ve never left my boy with anyone other than family or close friends in my house so leaving him with a stranger was so hard for me but Zara was so sweet and reassuring, she sent me regular updates and loved my dog like her own! My dog is reactive and has allergies and she handled everything like a pro! Ivar is excited for his next holiday at her house 🥰

I genuinely love and respect animals and believe every pet deserves individual care, patience and attention. I provide caring, reliable and responsible pet care tailored to each pet’s needs and routine. Depending on the service, this can include dog walking, feeding, playtime, companionship, toilet breaks and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every animal is different, so I take the time to get to know their personality, preferences and requirements. I’m honest, down-to-earth and dependable, and I want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable and confident in my care. I’m happy to follow your usual routines and any specific instructions you have, as I know how important it is for pets to feel settled and secure while you’re away. I have good availability and can dedicate time to giving pets the attention and companionship they need. My aim is to make sure every pet I care for feels happy, safe and well looked after. I currently provide 1-to-1 care in the community on a rota basis, which gives me the flexibility and time to provide caring and attentive support to our four-legged friends.
