“Ambrose spent a very happy 10 nights with Beth & he couldn’t have been happier. He was taken on lots of wonderful walks & we were sent photos and videos of him every day, which we loved to see. Knowing that Ambrose was being so well looked after enabled my Wife and I to completely relax and enjoy our holiday. I couldn’t recommend Beth more to ensure your doggie has a proper ‘home away from home’ with an amazing host!”
“Katherine accepted to look after my dogs despite it was a very short notice . The communication was very smooth and easy . Unfortunately, one of my dogs turn out to be not very good with children and we had to shorten the period for staying , but she gave us a great support by communicating with Rover's support team patiently so that we receive the refund for those dates . Thank you very much !”
“Felt confident I was leaving Benji in capable hands and he was very much welcomed into the family. Considering he can be anxious when left, after just one day he seemed to have settled. Planned in for Summer holiday boarding.”
“Bailey had a great time staying with Joe at his home at was obviously very well looked after throughout his stay. We’re on Rover because we’re no longer willing to put Bailey in kennels. While Bailey was staying with Joe we were kept up to date with how he was getting on and it made our time away all the better knowing Bailey was having a holiday of his own; lots of walks and plenty of time in the company of others (which he loves). We will ask Joe to look after Bailey again and would have no hesitation in recommending him to others.”
“Jen was fantastic and Henley had a lovely time! I got daily updates with lots of photos and Henley was looked after very well. Would definitely be using Jen again and I’m sure Henley will be very excited to go back.”
“It was the first time that Bentley stayed overnight with Sheila and he had a great time. Bentley has instantly taken to Sheila and her family and it is real peace of mind knowing that he is happy and settled when he is there.”
“Gemma and her family watched our Dachshund while we were out of the country for two weeks. Her communication was excellent in setting up the booking and doing a meet and greet and a single night stay beforehand. Gemma sent regular and detailed updates/photos while we were away. We were really nervous about leaving our dog as she had surgery a few weeks before our trip but Gemma was great with giving her medication and making sure we felt comfortable leaving her. My dog got along very well with Gemma's Bailey and they had a great time playing while we were away. I'm sure my pup would be happy going back to Gemma's anytime and I will definitely be rebooking her. I would highly recommend Gemma for any pet sitting needs! Thanks so much Gemma! Delta looks forward to seeing you again soon! <3”
“My cocker spaniel had a great overnight stay with Jane and I felt very comfortable leaving her. Jane is very friendly, responded to emails quickly and sent me several updates. I could tell that my dog enjoyed staying with Jane and I've already made another booking.”
“This was our first time using Rover as we wanted a better experience for Bailey while we were away on holiday. Our experience with Rover, Samantha and her lovely family was nothing but positive. Communication was great and Bailey obviously had a very positive experience. He was treated like a family pet during his stay and we are all very appreciative of the love, care and attention he received. Five stars without a doubt.”
“Aleksandra was lovely and couldn't have done more. She went out of her way to make Karma feel calm, welcome and happy. She made sure Karma was properly introduced to her dogs before letting them play together. She spent time cuddling with her on the sofá (which Karma cant get enough of), and we received plenty of reassuring updates and photos throughout. Also, Aleksandra was easy going with pick-up/drop-off times which made fitting this around our wedding trip easy to manage and stress-free. Thank you Aleks!”
“Louise did a fantastic job looking after our miniature schnauzer! I think she might actually prefer being boarding at Louise’s house than being back home with us😉”
About: I've had dogs my whole life and absolutely love looking after them. For two years I walked a lovely Havanese terrier called Ziggy three times a week while his owners were shielding, and I've also dog sat for two families while they holidayed, staying at their homes and caring for their Labs to make sure they had a happy, loving time. I also love to walk rescue dogs at Stokenchurch Dog Shelter on my free Saturday mornings. I have a female French bulldog called Storm, a thoroughly pampered pup, who is friendly and playful and will help your dog feel right at home. As I work from home, I'm able to give your dog plenty of love and attention throughout the day, with regular walks and toilet breaks. My apartment is on the ground floor and opens onto a shared garden, where I always keep dogs on their leads. I'm also within walking distance of some lovely parks and walking routes, so there's no shortage of places to explore. Your dog will be given lots of love treated like one of my own. I start my day with a morning walk around one of the local parks or walking routes, which will be a lovely start to your dog's day. From 9AM until 5PM I work from home, daily. Taking work breaks to give the dogs lots of cuddles and toilet breaks. At lunchtime we go for a walk. Then after work have a play in the garden and an evening walk. Ending the day with lots of cuddles on the sofa. My apartment is clean and tidy to make sure it creates a safe and welcoming environment for your dog. In the garden I keep the dog on an extendable lead, to make sure they are safe. Working from home all day means I keep an eye on your dog. But if I need to pop out I have cameras in my home to be able to watch them while out.
“I was really nervous about leaving my dog overnight in a strange place for the first time. But I got loads of updates, pics and videos and I felt soooo relieved. She's spent time building up a bond with him using food and patience, and slowly got him used to her own dog which I got lots of pics of them sitting together so I'm absolutely thrilled at the experience overall. Would absolutely recommend and ask her to dog sit for us again in the future!”
“Sarah and family are amazing. Dusty had such a great time with them for a second booking, so much so you that we could actually see Dusty smiling. Sarah sent regular updates and lovely photos. Thank you Sarah for taking amazing care of Dusty, we will ask to book again when we next go on hols.”
“I needed someone to look after Oscar overnight and Liz was brilliant, accommodating our needs perfectly. I think Oscar enjoyed himself and might even had stayed there longer if allowed. Liz sent photos which was lovely!”

I have always had dogs as part of my family and genuinely enjoy their companionship and unique personalities. I provide a safe, loving home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family.

I have a fenced garden, all outdoor time is closely supervised, and dogs are always kept safe on leads where appropriate.

Your dog’s happiness, safety, and comfort are always my priority. 🐾❤️ I am home for most of the day, apart from school runs and short errands. Dogs are rarely left alone for more than 1–2 hours and receive plenty of companionship, supervision, exercise, and affection throughout their stay.

“Our dog had a wonderful time over Christmas! Ksenia was so accommodating & easy going. It was also so reassuring knowing Kitty (our dog) was so happy with all her new friends.”
“Senali and family were so welcoming and lovely, they had Jeffrey for nearly 2 days and despite his initial separation anxiety he had a great time with them and their dog Bella! Senali sent many photos and updates which helped too! Will definitely send Jeffrey there again!”

About: I have always loved cats and have looked after friends and family cats as and when needed l For example when they go away for a few days or even longer. I follow instructions depending on how often the eat and play with them.
“Zoe was fantastic! I cannot recommend highly enough. She looked after our two ragdoll cats and kept me updated throughout. I felt so reassured by her and I know the cats loved her visits (as they ended up meeting her at the front door by the end). Absolutely 5 stars! I now feel comfortable to go away and leave the cats again.i know they will be in safe hands.”
“Sean did an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were away on holiday. He visited twice a day, fed them, cleaned their bowls, and even took the rubbish out before we got back — everything was spotless when we returned. From the very first meeting, our cats liked him right away — he was friendly, positive, and calm, which made us feel confident too. We really appreciated the detailed updates with photos he sent after each visit. It was great to know when the cats came out, how many showed up, and how they were behaving. We felt very reassured and knew our cats were in good hands. Thank you, Sean!”
“So pleased with Rebecca's visit, loved the pictures she sent and the report. Jasmine obviously liked her. Will definitely use Rebecca again and highly recommend. Thanks soooo much! Happy Christmas xxx”
About: I’ve had dogs growing up and have my own cocker spaniel Louis who is affectionate friendly and fun loving. I’m a confident dog owner and we welcome all types of dogs in our home. I’ve got a lots of experience both dog walking and sitting and I’m happy to walk nervous or reactive dogs. I work from home and dogs in my care get plenty of attention.

We treat all dogs like our own and are confident they will have a great time with us.

“Anna was great with Dahlia, coming to meet her beforehand and taking time to get to know her routine and likes and ensure a happy visit. I'm sure Dahlia also appreciated her company!”
“Second time with Rachel looking after Gus and I am so happy. Brilliant communication and great twice-daily update with pictures. Love being able to go on holiday and know he is in safe hands!”
“First time booking Georgia and very pleased with her service - she was dropping in on my cat for 2 evenings and made sure to take pics of the cat and also how she'd set up the autofeeder to ensure I could see it was set up correctly.”
“Emily is a fantastic cat sitter and I highly recommend her. She was so communicative all throughout the process. She came for a meet and greet at super short notice, sent us fantastic clear updates and photos while we were gone and even checked in after we returned. She really cares about the welfare of the animals she sits for. I will absolutely be using her again.”
About: I am a reliable petsitter with many years of experience caring for a wide range of animals. Growing up with a farming background, I am very comfortable with any animal, large or small. I understand different animal personalities and their needs. I have happily taken responsibility for households with many pets and am able to make pets feel comfortable and safe with me. I have experience of caring for my own dogs and cats, and caring for larger dogs for family members.
About: Will & Jodie are two dog lovers who have been around and looked after dogs since early childhood. We want to look after your dogs before we look to get our own fur baby! Will and Jodie alternate days working from home so we can dedicate plenty of time to play. We have a variety of walks local with access to many parks and walks by the river. We have a secure garden with space for pups to play. When the weather is nice we leave the back door open for them to enjoy the outside.
About: What sets me apart as a cat sitter is my patience, calm nature and understanding that every cat has a completely different personality and comfort level. I have grown up with cats all my life and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, relaxed and secure in their own environment. My oldest cat lived to 21 years old, so I have experience caring for senior cats and understand the extra patience, gentle care and attention older cats may need. I am also comfortable giving medication if required and keeping a close eye on changes in behaviour, appetite or routine. Alongside caring for my own cats, I have also looked after shy rescue cats who needed time, trust and a gentle approach to feel comfortable around new people. I never rush interactions and always let cats approach me in their own time, helping them feel calm and respected while their owners are away. Because I genuinely love spending time with animals, I enjoy giving cats companionship as well as practical care — whether that is feeding, playtime, grooming, cleaning litter trays or simply keeping them company and making them feel settled. My goal is always to make sure your cat feels safe, cared for and as stress-free as possible while you are away.
About: I’ve taken care of cats of all kinds for friends, family and neighbours for the past 2 years. I’m patient, attentive and love making cats feel safe, comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m happy to feed, play, give cuddles and keep litter areas clean, while always respecting each cat’s unique personality and routine.
About: I’m an absolute animal enthusiast, animals have always been a huge part of my life and caring for them is something I truly love. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s unique personality and routine, whether that means a gentle stroll, energetic playtime, or simply lots of belly rubs. I have completed dog first aid training so am able to provide basic first aid. Please do not hesitate to send me a message and ask about availability!😊 I have recently done two ski seasons as a private chef in the alps and i am between job. I absolutely adore animals so am looking to do more house sitting and walking while I am looking for a new job! I have a large (around an acre) fenced and gated garden with plenty of sun and shaded areas for hotter days! I live in a small very safe village with lots of walking spots within walking distance. I have a dog at home, so all dogs must be friendly!
“Our puppy instantly loved being in Jemma’s company. She is a happy, calming influence. This was the first time being left without us and he was absolutely fine. I’d recommend Jemma to others.”

“My very anxious old dachshund was sad to see me go but 8 hours later when I came to pick him up he wasn’t in a hurry to leave, in fact instead of following me to the car he followed Jodie back in the house! Very quick response from William to my initial message and a seamless booking. Will definitely leave my guys with these guys again. Thanks x”
About: Hi, I’m Beth. I work from home and I'm a lifelong dog lover based in Princes Risborough, I provide attentive, reliable, and premium home boarding for small to medium-sized dogs, including senior dogs. From my own experience as a pet owner, I know how important it is to find a safe, loving environment where your dog becomes part of the family. I'm adaptable to your dog's needs. I work online and with mostly flexible hours, which means that your dog comes first for their daily walks. Because I work from home, your dog will rarely be alone and will receive dedicated care, company, and regular toilet breaks every 0–2 hours. I walk daily and would enjoy having the companionship of your dog to share those walks. I live in a top-floor flat (34 stairs) above my mum’s house and we are all dog lovers here. While the flat is cosy, there is a large, secure garden where your dog can roam freely while I’m working or gardening. I have experience of caring for small to medium sized dogs, as well as elderly dogs. I treat every dog as if they were my own. I adapt to your dog's pace and preferences. I understand the trust you’re placing in me, and I will provide safe, attentive, and loving care. A review that arrived too late to be included: We couldn’t be happier with the care Beth gave Leo while we were away for a week. From the very first moment we met her, Beth’s warmth and kindness shone through – she welcomed Leo like an old friend and immediately put him at ease. Throughout the week, she took him out for frequent walks and adventures, giving him plenty of exercise and stimulation, and always made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Beth was incredibly communicative, sending us regular updates and photos, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear she wasn’t just looking after Leo’s basic needs – she genuinely cared for him as if he were her own, offering patience, affection, and a nurturing touch in everything she did. Her home and the beautiful surrounding area were perfect for Leo, and he adored exploring it all with her. By the time we came to collect him, it was obvious he had loved every moment there. We are so grateful to Beth and wouldn’t hesitate to have her look after Leo again. Anjeli P. Today
“This was Busby’s second time with Jen and once again he had an amazing time. He couldn’t wait to get through the door. Jen sent updates and photos throughout the day which always put my mind at ease. Busby will be back again soon :)”
About: I’ve taken care of my dogs for the last 20 years (from puppy to OAP). We live on a farm with horses so have experience of animals big and small! I work from home and so am here full time. I will be able to care for your dog along with my own and tend to their needs throughout the day. As we live on a (horse) farm there is plenty of space for walks in our fields - so no need to encounter other dogs if that’s an issue. We have a safe and enclosed garden for potty breaks.
“We have a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy who goes to Tilly a couple of days a week, and his very first socialisation was with Tilly and her dogs. It couldn’t have been a better experience for him. Tilly is incredibly thoughtful, calm, experienced and flexible, and we trust her completely. We feel so lucky to have found Tilly and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for excellent care.”

About: What sets me apart is my combination of animal care experience, calm personality and genuine love for spending time outdoors with animals. Having grown up surrounded by pets and farm animals, I am confident caring for a wide range of animals and adapting to different personalities and routines. I always take the time to build trust with each animal so they feel safe, relaxed and comfortable in my care. I also have hands-on experience from some work experience in a vet clinic, where I helped care for animals, monitored them, and supported their recovery and wellbeing. This means I am confident recognising when animals may be stressed, unwell or needing extra attention. Alongside this, my farm experience included feeding sheep and lambs, delivering lambs and assisting in a sheep caesarean, which taught me how to stay calm and capable in more serious situations. I am comfortable caring for young, energetic pets as well as older animals who may need a gentler approach, medication or extra patience. As someone who loves the countryside and being active outdoors, I also really enjoy giving dogs stimulating walks and plenty of attention. During the summer, I have flexible availability as a university student, allowing me to dedicate lots of time, care and attention to the pets I look after. I have also had old animals and understand when routinely medications need to be delivered and how to adjust walks according to a pets joint pain. I have grown up surrounded by animals and caring for them has always been a huge part of my life. At home I have a dog, cat, chickens and bunnies, and over the years I have also cared for fish, guinea pigs and local wildlife. Living in the countryside means I spend most of my time outdoors, and I love long walks in nature — especially in places like the Lake District. Being outside with animals is where I feel happiest. As a university student, I have a great deal of availability over the summer, which allows me to be flexible and fully committed to your pet’s routine. I offer walks, home visits and pet sitting, and I am happy to travel up to 30 minutes from my home. I have a fenced garden where dogs can run around but I’m also surrounded by countryside and fenced fields where they can play until their hearts content!
“Orbit seemed calm and happy when I picked her up. I also really appreciated receiving photos during the day. It was great that she was allowed on the sofa, as this is what she is used to at home and helps her feel relaxed. Thank you!”
“Glad I found Simon as a sitter. He was super responsive in his communications. He was also really accommodating to slight changes in my timings. Hugo had a great day and I felt really comfortable leaving Hugo with Simon and his family.”

About: I've been lucky enough to have a life full of many special animals, both in my home and in my social circle, from childhood up until now. From energetic lurcher crosses to quiet black void cats, I've seen and cared for a wide range of animals and loved them all very much! I am experienced in looking after primarily dogs and cats, and my extensive experience with senior dogs and cats makes me a trusted individual to look after your furry family members. I understand how important it is to have someone to rely on when you are unable to take your animals with you, and respect all of the care instructions you wish me to follow. I am currently a freelancer, so I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to adjust to whatever hours you require from me. I am available weekdays and weekends, with a few existing commitments on weekday evenings that should not impact my availability.

About: I grew up with dogs and love having a lovely furry friend around in my home.

My husband, scott, and I have experience of walking and caring for a dog who has become deaf in his older years and have an ongoing relationship with the owner. I have walked dogs of different breeds for friends and family and we have dog sat for multiple families regularly over the last few years. We live in a beautiful area of Oxfordshire with access to a variety of country walks, around the local nature lakes, the hills, along the icknield way and the Phoenix trail which is a great safe place to walk if you don’t want paws too muddy! You can rest assured your dog will be welcomed into our home and loved by us and our children. We have an enclosed garden that is secure and lots of love and cuddles to give. I can provide a stimulating environment for your dogs with access to many lovely walks. I am based at home so I have plenty of time to play with, socialise and exercise your dogs. I offer taking on multiple dogs in my home, if required, but I am happy to only host one dog at a time also to fit around the needs of your dog. I will always check with you first. I have a fenced and secure garden. I can crate dogs, if required, for their safety. Our house is quiet and comfortable and is ideally suited to put your dog at ease. Dogs are allowed on furniture and we have a fenced, secure garden they can play in between walks.
“Hannah was delightful to deal with! A lovely and very friendly person. Everything went very smoothly and my slightly nervous dog loved Hannah. Would 100% recommend and will be getting in contact with her again whenever I need walking or dog sitting.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life however since moving out with children my family is yet to have one our own. We’re a very outdoorsy family - we spend a majority of our days doing woodland walks and at the parks. I previously did rover back in 2020 and boarded dogs with many repeat owners. I have two young children who are both very comfortable around dogs, my parents live just around the corner with a large house and garden and a loving black Lab called Rio, who we walk and see regularly, so your dogs would never be short of things to do! I have experience working with large breed dogs and rescues - I previously owned a German shepherd & 2 rescues and have experience with reactive dogs having worked with them for 4+ years. Please feel free to message me with any questions that you may have and I’ll see what I can do to help. You’ll be able to rest assured your pets are receiving the best care here, lots of photos and videos will be sent and I’ll make sure to create that “home away from home” feeling! I’m a stay at home mum, available 24/7 - so I would be able to accommodate your dogs needs, whether that was plenty of walks and outdoor activities or shorter walks and more mental stimulation inside, whatever you felt your dog would cope with best we can accommodate. I currently live in a 2 bedroom flat but we often spend a majority of our days outside. If your dog was comfortable with other dogs we love to go around the corner to my parents house where they have a very large fully enclosed garden and a black Labrador called Rio who loves to play, we have doggy pools and lots of fun things to do in the garden there also. We also enjoy renting enclosed dog fields/woodlands for run arounds, exploring and fun in a safe environment 🐾.

I have two 8-year-old dogs of my own, so i understand how important it is to find someone trusting and reliable to look after your pet. Whilst looking after pets including my own, it has taught me the importance of routine, patience and understanding every dog has their own personality and is different and requires different needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles i will always make sure your dog feels safe and well cared for. I know how much our pets mean to us, and that it is important to have that trust with the one looking after them and i make sure to treat them like my own with kindness, love and patience. At the moment, I work part-time which gives me a lot of flexibility and free time in order to work around your schedule to take care of your pets. I’ll follow your pets usual routine and any instructions that you provide including dietary requirements, medication and daily walks etc. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in safe, caring hands when your away.
About: I am a reliable petsitter with many years of experience caring for a wide range of animals. Growing up with a farming background, I am very comfortable with any animal, large or small. I understand different animal personalities and their needs. I have happily taken responsibility for households with many pets and am able to make pets feel comfortable and safe with me. I have experience of caring for my own dogs and cats, and caring for larger dogs for family members. I'm very easy going when it comes to different pet and home requirements and can adapt to any and all environments needed. I'm currently working part time as a gardener and do a lot of traveling so am available for larger chunks of time in-between. If I your home I will ensure to always be alert to your pets safety and making sure they are in a safe space, making my best efforts to make your pet as comfortable as possible.
“Karen really helped me out at short notice when I couldn't walk my dog due to covid! She was very quick to reply and even gave me a discount code to reduce the costs. Rafi came back seeming very happy and was nice and tired (which is just what I'd hoped for!). Overall I would definitely recommend Karen's dog walking services!”
About: I’ve taken care of my dogs for the last 20 years (from puppy to OAP). We live on a farm with horses so have experience of animals big and small! I work from home and so am here full time. I will be able to care for your dog along with my own and tend to their needs throughout the day. As we live on a (horse) farm there is plenty of space for walks in our fields - so no need to encounter other dogs if that’s an issue. We have a safe and enclosed garden for potty breaks.
“Paul is a natural! Bean instantly took to Paul and loved his walk. Paul listened to all of our instructions and is a very experienced dog walker, with an instant connection to Bean, leaving us feeling very comfortable with Bean in his care.”
About: Will & Jodie are two dog lovers who have been around and looked after dogs since early childhood. We want to look after your dogs before we look to get our own fur baby! Will and Jodie alternate days working from home so we can dedicate plenty of time to play. We have a variety of walks local with access to many parks and walks by the river. We have a secure garden with space for pups to play. When the weather is nice we leave the back door open for them to enjoy the outside.
About: I’ve loved cats and dogs ever since I can remember. I am a proud dad to Kiki (our 2 year old labradoodle) and love looking after dogs. I’ve spent a lot of time with dogs over the years and have previously offered this service to friends and family when it has been suggested! I’m currently between jobs so am able to offer great flexibility if it is needed for you and your pets! Any questions please ask As I will be coming into your home to look after your pet for you I appreciate full guidance from you and timings for feeding and walks etc. Your pets (and home) will be safe with me!

“Katherine accepted to look after my dogs despite it was a very short notice . The communication was very smooth and easy . Unfortunately, one of my dogs turn out to be not very good with children and we had to shorten the period for staying , but she gave us a great support by communicating with Rover's support team patiently so that we receive the refund for those dates . Thank you very much !”
“Felt confident I was leaving Benji in capable hands and he was very much welcomed into the family. Considering he can be anxious when left, after just one day he seemed to have settled. Planned in for Summer holiday boarding.”
“Bailey had a great time staying with Joe at his home at was obviously very well looked after throughout his stay. We’re on Rover because we’re no longer willing to put Bailey in kennels. While Bailey was staying with Joe we were kept up to date with how he was getting on and it made our time away all the better knowing Bailey was having a holiday of his own; lots of walks and plenty of time in the company of others (which he loves). We will ask Joe to look after Bailey again and would have no hesitation in recommending him to others.”
“Jen was fantastic and Henley had a lovely time! I got daily updates with lots of photos and Henley was looked after very well. Would definitely be using Jen again and I’m sure Henley will be very excited to go back.”
“It was the first time that Bentley stayed overnight with Sheila and he had a great time. Bentley has instantly taken to Sheila and her family and it is real peace of mind knowing that he is happy and settled when he is there.”
“My cocker spaniel had a great overnight stay with Jane and I felt very comfortable leaving her. Jane is very friendly, responded to emails quickly and sent me several updates. I could tell that my dog enjoyed staying with Jane and I've already made another booking.”
“Aleksandra was lovely and couldn't have done more. She went out of her way to make Karma feel calm, welcome and happy. She made sure Karma was properly introduced to her dogs before letting them play together. She spent time cuddling with her on the sofá (which Karma cant get enough of), and we received plenty of reassuring updates and photos throughout. Also, Aleksandra was easy going with pick-up/drop-off times which made fitting this around our wedding trip easy to manage and stress-free. Thank you Aleks!”
“Louise did a fantastic job looking after our miniature schnauzer! I think she might actually prefer being boarding at Louise’s house than being back home with us😉”
About: I've had dogs my whole life and absolutely love looking after them. For two years I walked a lovely Havanese terrier called Ziggy three times a week while his owners were shielding, and I've also dog sat for two families while they holidayed, staying at their homes and caring for their Labs to make sure they had a happy, loving time. I also love to walk rescue dogs at Stokenchurch Dog Shelter on my free Saturday mornings. I have a female French bulldog called Storm, a thoroughly pampered pup, who is friendly and playful and will help your dog feel right at home. As I work from home, I'm able to give your dog plenty of love and attention throughout the day, with regular walks and toilet breaks. My apartment is on the ground floor and opens onto a shared garden, where I always keep dogs on their leads. I'm also within walking distance of some lovely parks and walking routes, so there's no shortage of places to explore. Your dog will be given lots of love treated like one of my own. I start my day with a morning walk around one of the local parks or walking routes, which will be a lovely start to your dog's day. From 9AM until 5PM I work from home, daily. Taking work breaks to give the dogs lots of cuddles and toilet breaks. At lunchtime we go for a walk. Then after work have a play in the garden and an evening walk. Ending the day with lots of cuddles on the sofa. My apartment is clean and tidy to make sure it creates a safe and welcoming environment for your dog. In the garden I keep the dog on an extendable lead, to make sure they are safe. Working from home all day means I keep an eye on your dog. But if I need to pop out I have cameras in my home to be able to watch them while out.
“I was really nervous about leaving my dog overnight in a strange place for the first time. But I got loads of updates, pics and videos and I felt soooo relieved. She's spent time building up a bond with him using food and patience, and slowly got him used to her own dog which I got lots of pics of them sitting together so I'm absolutely thrilled at the experience overall. Would absolutely recommend and ask her to dog sit for us again in the future!”
“Sarah and family are amazing. Dusty had such a great time with them for a second booking, so much so you that we could actually see Dusty smiling. Sarah sent regular updates and lovely photos. Thank you Sarah for taking amazing care of Dusty, we will ask to book again when we next go on hols.”
“I needed someone to look after Oscar overnight and Liz was brilliant, accommodating our needs perfectly. I think Oscar enjoyed himself and might even had stayed there longer if allowed. Liz sent photos which was lovely!”
“Our dog had a wonderful time over Christmas! Ksenia was so accommodating & easy going. It was also so reassuring knowing Kitty (our dog) was so happy with all her new friends.”
“Charlotte had the best time staying with Rachel and her 2 dogs. She seemed to have a great time and got on well with Audrey. Rachel was quick to respond and accommodating. Would highly recommend”
“Blake, my Flatcoated Retriever, had a fantastic time with Megan. I was sent messages to update me throughout the day. Blake was very well looked after and didn’t want to leave! I am so pleased I found Megan on Rover and I will definitely be calling her again. Thank you so much Megan for having him. Maureen”
About: I just love dogs and cats, in fact all animals and believe it is a privilege to be able to help others with their pet care. I have 2 dogs of my own, have owned dogs all my life and love being out walking with my 4 legged best friends. I was brought up by a farming family and have owned cats, dogs and horses. Even learnt to ride the cows to the milking shed by the time I was 4 😊and have fond memories of looking after the chickens. All pets in my care are treated as if they are my own and are allowed on furniture and beds (if that is what they are used to), I love puppies (don't we all) and have experience of dogs of all ages, happy to administer medication and maintain your routine whilst in my care so your pet has a home from home experience. Recent feedback: We were lucky enough to be able to book Rachael at the last minute to take care of our labrador Cherry over a weekend. From the beginning, Rachael was knowledgeable, kind, professional and understanding. She is clearly highly experienced and took care to understand as much as possible about Cherry. Cherry can be nervous, but Rachael gave her space to investigate her house and gradually built her confidence - so much so that within a couple of hours we received pictures showing a happy Cherry cuddled up asleep on the sofa. Rachael kept us updated with videos and pictures, taking Cherry on lovely walks, letting her sleep on her bed and generally giving Cherry her own mini-break while we were on ours! Cherry was clearly happy and settled. It was such a relief to know our dog was in such good hands, and I would recommend Rachael wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a dog sitter. She is a gem! I have been made redundant so lots of spare time to help others and care for dogs. Would love to build a business in something i love. I am comfortable with all animals, owned dogs and cats all my life. My pups are very accommodating of visitors…. Happy to do let outs, walks or daytime care in my own home. I have a secure garden and many stunning walks locally ( Downley).
“Holly was great with Nelly! Lots of photos and videos, good communication and Nelly was very tired coming home! So we know she had lots of fun. Would definitely recommend Holly again, thanks”
