“Valeria looked after milo for 6 nights, he took to her straight away and he and Valeria’s little dog became friends which was company for him. Will definitely use Valeria again.”
“Milo had a lovely time with Gina. First time we’ve left him with a boarder so was very apprehensive but shouldn’t have worried he had a great time. Lots of updates via photo and video. We definitely use Gina again.”
“Raul and his family are the most kind people. Couldn't ask for a better care for my dog.Everything was absolutely perfect,thank You for all the photos and videos showing how amazing time Storm had with You. If we ever need to leave Storm again it will definitely be with You Raul.”
“Nadia has been brilliant with our two dogs and we'd highly recommend her. One of our dogs can be quite nervous around people he doesn't know, but was instantly at ease with Nadia, and I felt really happy leaving them with her. It is very hard to find someone you trust to look after your dogs (as, let's face it, most of us treat them like children!) but I cannot fault Nadia at all. She was attentive and caring at every stage and it's obvious that she and her family love dogs. We won't hesitate to use her again if she's available!”
“Blu had an other great time with Diane. She is always so well taken care of and seems to enjoy herself. I will gladly recommend Diane to other dog owners. She’s kind, loving and caring towards them.”
“This was the first time I have used Rover and I’m so glad I found such a lovely, friendly, and caring couple to look after my dog. They were really kind and made my dog feel completely at home. My dog absolutely loved being there, which gave me so much peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring doggy day care experience.”
“Sarah looked after my dog Harry for a few days recently while I was away. Fair to say he had a great time and was very well cared for. I'd highly recommend Sarah to others looking for someone to look after their beloved pet.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Hima looking after our puppy. She clearly has a love for animals and cares for them like they are part of her family! We loved receiving updates and it was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable she was. I was so happy to see she made some new furry friends and I don’t think our pup wanted to leave! We will definitely be using Hima again in the future. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, caring and communicative to look after your dog, look no further!”
About: Hey, I'm Emily, and I've been around animals for most of my life. I completed a two-year Animal Management course at college and gained lots of hands-on experience through placements at veterinary practices, the RSPCA, at a riding school, an agricultural school in Norway, and conservation projects in rainforest environments across the globe. Alongside this, I also regularly care for pets belonging to my friends and family. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs with additional care needs. I have plenty of experience with dogs requiring extra care, as I regularly care for my parents Cockapoo with a range of health conditions, and my partner's Dachshund who lived to 15 years old and required support with IVDD. These experiences have given me great experience and ability to adapt care to each dog's individual needs. I share my home with my friendly two year old Cocker Spaniel, who loves meeting and playing with other dogs! My partner Alex and I both work from home, meaning your dog will never be left alone and will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. Dogs staying with us can enjoy daily walks tailored to their needs, regular playtime in our secure garden and home, and lots of affection. I'm also happy to provide regular photo updates, as I love capturing special moments and helping owners feel connected while they're away. I joined Rover as we have the time, space, and flexibility to provide a genuine home-from-home experience. We love welcoming canine guests, and our dog Willow is always excited to make new friends! ☺️ My partner and I both work from home, which means your dog will have company and supervision throughout the day and will never be left alone. Our flexible schedules allow us to provide regular toilet breaks, playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of attention. We are available for dog boarding throughout the week and on most weekends. Daily walks are tailored to each dog's needs, with opportunities for exercise, play, and relaxation. We also have a secure garden where dogs can safely spend time outdoors. We understand that every dog has their own routine, so we're happy to accommodate feeding schedules, sleeping arrangements, and other preferences wherever possible. Regular photo and video updates are available to give you peace of mind while you're away. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a house with a secure, enclosed garden, and because my partner and I both work from home, dogs are never left alone and receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with additional care needs. I share my home with my friendly young Cocker Spaniel, and all dogs are introduced carefully to ensure everyone feels comfortable and relaxed. I'm happy to provide regular photo updates during your dog's stay, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're safe, settled, and having fun.
“Jacqe has been great with our puppy Ryder while we went abroard leaving him for the first time. Lots of pictures and reassurance. We will definitely be using him again when we go away in the future. Happy puppy and happy family!”
“David looked after my golden retriever Jasper for a week and I am so glad I picked him! We met beforehand and he was friendly and professional and then throughout the week he kept in regular contact and Jasper was extremely well looked after! I would recommend to anyone, thank you David x”
“Amy and family are delightful and clearly love dogs and making sure she had all the information needed for the stay. I know Wolfie really enjoyed his stay with lots of walks, a swim, cuddles and a large garden to enjoy! I was so glad that he had canine company too. Thank you so much for looking after our boy with care and attention. Highlyy recommended!”
“Our Westie Reg loved his time at Laura’s. We were sent updates and photos throughout the day which was lovely to have. Great communication leading up to the booking too. We will definitely be booking with Laura again!”
“Poppy was happy to be left with Kim and was so busy sniffing in the garden that she didn’t notice me leave. This was her 2nd visit and first overnight stay. Poppy is a rescue dog and gets anxious in new situations, but she settled well and ate her food. I would highly recommend Kim to take good care of your dog.”
“Eden was brilliant with my dog Bailey. I had a very last minute request and she responded immediately and provided great communication throughout Bailey’s stay. I felt comfortable leaving Bailey with Eden and her partner and their lovely dog Bertie and I could tell Bailey had a lovely time and was happy when I picked her up. I’d recommend Eden to others and will use again in the future!”
“Freddie had a wonderful time with Lizzy for a few days holiday. She was so kind and caring and respectful of his needs I don’t think he wanted to come home! Highly recommended”
“This is the second time we have asked Sally to have our dog now and she and her lovely family did not disappoint. I Would highly recommend, she sends regular photo updates, is very quick to respond and is really lovely ☺️”

“Catherine was great, she made friends with our nervous cat very quickly. She was very responsive with any communication. Would not hesitate to have Catherine again if needed.”
About: Friends and neighbours have often relied on me to drop in twice a day for feeding and interaction to provide their cat with company and attention while they have been away. Should your cat choose to accept me, I provide gentle, calm and affectionate attention and engage with toys or games should they be willing but in times where they prefer to go "solo" then, being present without interaction is equally important. On lucky occasions I have also been greeted with little "gifts" so have become accustomed to the sad and careful removal of things with wings!
About: Hello, My name is Anna and I am a huge animal enthusiasts. If you don't believe me, believe my instagram feed (it's full of cats). I live with my lovely cat named Molly. She is a three year old ragdoll with a sassy character. Before her I had a childhood cat that sadly passed away at the ripe old age of 23. We found Kuzya outside our door one morning, a lovely orange kitty that has brightened our life till his last moments. I am very much a cat in a person's body. I love the calm and quiet, yet I equally love to have fun when the zoomies kick in. I am adaptable and ready for any challange.
“I can't recommend Miya highly enough. I was really anxious about leaving my cat, Toby, while I was away for work. It was the first time I'd left him with a new pet sitter, and with the heatwave I was especially worried about the temperature in the apartment and whether he'd be comfortable. Miya completely put my mind at ease from the very first visit. She kept me updated with plenty of photos and messages, letting me know how Toby was doing, that he was playing, eating well, and was happy and relaxed. She also kept me informed about the temperature in the house, the windows, the litter tray, and how everything was being looked after, which gave me so much reassurance while I was away. When I got home, Toby was happy and settled, and the house was spotless. It was obvious he had been genuinely well cared for and had received lots of attention. Miya is reliable, thoughtful, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Thanks to her, I was able to focus on my work trip knowing Toby was in safe hands. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again, and I'd wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional pet sitter.”
“Hayley has been absolutely amazing. I was nervous when first looking for a cat sitter but Hayley immediately put me at ease. Cleo was comfortable and confident around her, I got regular photos and feedback. She went above and beyond for us! I could not recommend her more highly! Thank you so so so much for looking after my furry friend!! I will 100% be using her again! X x”
About: Caring for my rescue dog from Romania, who was timid and scared, has taught me patience, understanding and how to confidently handle dogs of all personalities. I have a flexible part-time schedule, so I can offer walks, playtime, and drop ins most days. I’ll do my best to fit around your dog’s routine! I don’t currently accommodate dogs at my home. All walks and visits would take place outside or at your home, where your dog can feel safe and relaxed.
About: Hi! I'm a registered veterinary nurse and a lifelong cat lover. I've had cats all my life, currently have two of my own, and work with cats every single day, so I'm experienced with a wide range of personalities and needs. I'm confident administering medication (including tablets and liquid medication), following feeding routines, and keeping litter trays, feeding areas, and your cat's environment clean and comfortable while you're away. I'll always treat your cats as if they were my own, making sure they receive plenty of care, attention, and cuddles (if they want them!) to help them feel happy and relaxed until you're home.
“Lianna is a very kind and caring lady who cares about my cats. She usually waits to see that all 3 are in when she comes to reassure me. All cats seemed happy a well fed and house left in good order. Thank you.”
“Very happy with Vera overall, no complaints at all. I received a consistent stream of pictures and updates about Purrsephone and how she was finding it at Her house. Very polite person and quick to reply. Will definitely be leaving Purrsephone with her again if She's available at the time.”
About: As well as the dogs I have cared for, there have been many cats too. I owned my own cat until he recently passed away so I am incredibly confident around them. I am able to feed, administer medication if needed and play until their hearts content.
“Ellie is extremely thoughtful and attentive. Her calm, collected and gentle style shone through at every stage of her various visits. I have an extremely timid, anxious cat who does not favour strangers and prior cat sitters did not go down well. Ellie was a completely different thing: over time my cat started to get more comfortable and even eat in Ellie’s presence one evening which is unheard of. Additionally Ellie spent time with her and applied such level of patience, warmth and understanding, which I love. She went the extra mile by feeding my cat outside the agreed set up on realising that the automatic feeder wasn’t functioning properly (she did not want my cat to go hungry). Her daily updates with photos were my highlight of each day I was away. I loved them! Can’t thank or recommend Ellie enough! She’s a gem!”
“Jocelyn was a great sitter for my dog - really reliable and responsive, giving me great confidence while I was out. And it was clear she really cared for my dog, who was super happy to see her for another time!”
“Sara is such a delightful lady and such a cat friendly person where she said it was a ‘pleasure’ not a ‘job’ to care for my cats. I highly recommend her. My cats and home were so well looked after and she played with them too. Many thanks Sara. I will book you again for certain . 🌟”
“I had a great experience with Alia! She took care of my cat for a week and did a wonderful job. She visited twice a day to feed him, change his water, play with him, and give him lots of attention and affection. I really appreciated the regular photo and video updates - it gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands! :)”
“Ester was brilliant - great communication, took initiative and looked after our cat Noah brilliantly, despite him only making an appearance for her once the entire week! Would definitely use her brilliant services again, thank you Ester! Xx”
“Ellie was great with Trevor whilst I was away over Christmas. She kept me updated with photos every day and provided peace of mind that he was being looked after well. She was very quick to reply and responsive to requests.”

“Eden was very kind to take my last minute request and Aika had a lovely time with Eden. The communication was very good, I had updates and photo during the day. I would definitely ask Eden to look after Aika again 😀”
“When I went to pick up Freddy he was running around the garden having the time of his life with magdalena and her daughter. Was so nice to see, he was very tired after the day (good sign) and I could tell he had a great time. Good communication throughout with pictures and updates. 100% rebooking”
“Izabel tool great of my senior dog Charlie. He is deaf and blind so he can present some challenges, but Izabel was very attentive and made sure he was always safe and sound. Thank you!”

“Our dog has been staying with Laura for a few months now. He always has the best time. She has lots of other friendly dogs that day board which means he always has a special time and comes back nice and tired. Laura has also been great to leave Milo with at holidays, with lots of regular updates to keep us involved.”

About: Hi! I’m a full-time dog mum and work from home, which means your dog will have company, supervision and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’ve had two dogs in the past and now share my home with my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Baileys. Raising her has given me hands-on experience with puppy training, daily routines, positive reinforcement and understanding each dog’s individual needs. I know how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so I’ll care for them as if they were my own. Whether they enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy and loved. To ensure a positive experience for everyone, I only accept fully vaccinated, friendly dogs who are comfortable around other dogs, as they’ll be spending time with Baileys. Your dog’s safety, happiness and wellbeing will always be my top priority. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so your dog will have company and supervision throughout most of the day. Walks, playtime, toilet breaks and rest will all be tailored to your dog’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm and smoke-free home with my friendly Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Baileys. I only accept fully vaccinated dogs that are friendly with other dogs. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding, medication (if needed), walks and any house rules, to keep your dog’s routine as consistent as possible.
“Sam was really great for day care with our sometimes nervous whippet Flash and his owners! Fun, mixed and social walks, and lots of rest and cuddles in between. Great and frequent communication, with lots of photos and thoughtful touches to ensure Flash had an enriching, exhausting and well cared for day. Sam also picked and dropped off Flash which was super handy, and she ensured everything could be done to build and reassure us with access to our house. Her experience, insight, calmness with all juggling and asks was very appreciated and took lots of pressure off ensuring Flash was 150% looked after, very well. Thank you! Can’t wait to rebook!”
“Marla had a great time with Richard and he handled her with care and with respect for her individual personality traits - namely nervousness and energy! He is obviously very comfortable with dogs and sent me updates throughout her days so I never had to worry about her having fun without me. Would highly recommend Richard for your furry best mate's needs :-)”

“Cookie and Muffin had a lovely day with James and his wife. They clearly enjoyed their walks from the photos sent - with lots of fussing - and running around the garden. They got on well with James’ two dogs who were very friendly and will have been good company. It felt like a perfect home from home for them. Very pleased and will definitely be booking again.”
“Dovile was incredibly kind, attentive, and made Mocha feel completely at home from the moment he arrived. It was clear that Mocha was very happy and relaxed in her care, we could tell he was truly treated like family. Her dog Hugo is absolutely wonderful as well. Mocha and Hugo got along beautifully, which made the whole stay even more special. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Mocha had a gentle, friendly companion to play with.”
About: I’ve always been passionate about dogs and grew up with a variety of breeds, including Spaniels, Pointers, and Rottweilers. Until recently, I shared my home with Paisley, my beloved Doberman, who was a joyful and gentle companion to many guest dogs. Though she sadly passed due to complications following surgery, the love, knowledge, and experience I gained through her continue to shape the way I care for every dog that stays with us. I now also have a young child under 3, who is growing up alongside the dogs in a safe and supervised environment. This means your pup will experience plenty of family life while still receiving the same care, structure, and attention as always. I work full-time remotely from home, and my partner is also home most of the time, so your dog will rarely be left alone. We have a fully enclosed garden for safe play, and a garden room that can be used if your dog prefers a quieter space to relax. I frequently care for my mum’s and sister’s dogs, and I’m experienced in managing multiple dogs in a calm, loving environment. Your pup will be welcomed into our home as part of the family. I work full-time from home as a Data Analyst, and my partner also works from home most days. Outside of work, we enjoy spending time outdoors and staying active. I developed a love for dog agility through weekend sessions with my late Doberman, Paisley, and I continue to incorporate fun, stimulating activities into daily routines with the dogs I care for. Whether it’s a walk, playtime in the garden, or a bit of casual training, I always aim to keep your pup engaged and happy We have a fully enclosed garden, perfect for safe play and exploration. While we no longer have a resident dog, our home remains very dog-friendly, and we genuinely enjoy the company of our guest pups. My partner and I both work from home in the heart of the house, so your dog will always have companionship and care throughout the day. We’ve both been raised with dogs, including larger breeds, and are well-versed in understanding the unique traits and needs of different dogs. Whether your pup is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, we’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home with us.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs and animals my whole life. One of my childhood pets is a rescue from Romania, my family and I have aided her from an aggressive and scared dog, into an independent and calmer version of herself. This meant that I had to quickly learn the importance of patience and boundaries. This has inspired me to begin working with animals and specifically dogs. From the age of 15 I started pet sitting for some of my friends animals whilst they were away and as I moved to university I continued to help. I signed up to volunteer on the website Borrow My Doggy where I would look after and walk dogs when their owners became too busy. But since moving back to Surrey I have recently become a community volunteer for the RSPCA, meaning I deliver animal food to numerous homeless shelters. I am hoping to also get involved in some events and dog walking at the shelters in the near future. I’m currently looking for a part time job for the summer, however, at this present time I am available to help from 9am - 6pm during the weekdays and 10am - 8pm during the weekend. Therefore, I currently have a very flexible schedule to help you! I have a large fenced off garden with plenty of place for your pups to play! It catches plenty of sun with various shaded areas. In addition to this on the other side of my fence there is a well trimmed field for them to run at their hearts content.
About: 😺Hello :) My name is Miya. I love animals and truly understand that pets are not just animals, they are family. That’s why I always provide loving and attentive care, treating every pet as if they were my own. I currently live with my 10 year old Norwegian Forest cat 🐈 Momo. She came to me when she was 8 months old, and I’ve cared for her ever since. When I first got her, she was shy and preferred a calm environment, so it took patience to earn her trust. Now she is affectionate and loves being close to me. Because of this experience, I am especially comfortable and patient caring for shy, timid, or cautious cats, always respecting their pace and personality. I have years of experience caring for cats with different routines, temperaments, and needs. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after while their owners are away. I work from home running a leathercraft studio, where I also share videos on YouTube, often with Momo by my side. I’m used to calm environments and attentive routines, something many cats appreciate. I live in Chertsey and have a very flexible schedule. During each visit, I will send photo and video updates, along with a message when I arrive and leave, so you always know how your pet is doing 🤝🏻 I’m happy to answer any questions you may have, and I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! 😸🐶 Pet care is an important part of my routine. I plan my day to ensure I can visit on time, provide proper care, and spend quality time with each pet. I always take time to observe their behaviour and wellbeing, and I will inform you promptly if I notice anything unusual. When visiting a pet owner’s home, I always prioritise safety, trust, and respect for both the pet and the space. I understand that trust is essential when allowing someone into your home, and I treat every home with the same care and respect as my own. I carefully follow all instructions provided, including feeding routines, portion sizes, and any specific care requirements. I make sure doors and windows are secure at all times to prevent any escape risks. I also keep the environment clean by maintaining litter boxes and feeding areas, and I always double check everything before leaving. During each visit, I take time to observe your pet’s behaviour, appetite, and overall condition. I know how important it is to feel reassured while you’re away, so I provide regular updates and photos/videos after each visit. If I notice anything unusual, I will inform you promptly so you’re always kept in the loop.
About: I once had a wonderful miniature schnauzer who brought joy to our lives for 17 years. I absolutely love dogs, and my 8-year-old daughter is completely smitten with them too. We would be happy to share a little bit of our love and care with any dog who visits us. Although we don’t currently have a dog, my daughter and I love animals and can easily include walks, playtime, and cuddles into our daily routine. We are ready to share our attention and love with any dog who visits, making sure they feel happy, safe, and part of our family while in our care. I provide a warm, safe, and loving environment for every dog. I follow routines and special instructions carefully, giving plenty of attention, play, and gentle care. My 8-year-old daughter also loves dogs and happily joins in, making visits fun and full of affection. Every dog is treated with care and respect, as if they were our own.
“Cat has been wonderful with my rather anxious and sensitive rescue. She is very happy to take on all the little tips and tricks I've shared to support little Soula and she loves spending time with her. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for walking or housitting!”
“Ella is so lovely and my girl Fudge had the best time, Ella took the time to learn fudge and make fudge was fully comfortable around someone new. I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough! She taught fudge some new tricks which is even more of a bonus! Super happy and will definitely only be using Ella 😊”
About: I grew up round lots of different animals through out my life. Each and every animal deserves love, care and attention, which is why I love welcoming furry friends into my home to give them the love attention they deserve while you are away!

I’m a qualified accountant and work from home full time. Being part of the rover app is one of my hobbies, caring for pets is something I love and enjoy. I also offer weekly clean/ deep clean if caring for your pet in your home for an additional fee, please request further details on meet and greet. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine.

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life. From ages 5 to 10 I lived in Nigeria with our family golden retriever, and from 2021 to 2025 we had another golden retriever here in the UK. Across both, I was hands-on with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and the everyday care that makes a dog feel settled and happy. I'm patient and calm around dogs of all energy levels and breeds, and I genuinely enjoy their company, not just for the work. Based in Virginia Water, I'm a uni student which means I'm available flexibly during the week and weekends. I can fit around your schedule whether you need a midday walk while you're at work or someone to look in on your dog during a busy weekend. I cover Virginia Water and nearby areas including Egham, Englefield Green, Sunningdale, Thorpe, Chertsey, and Staines. I'm graduating from the University of Warwick at the end of next month, so my schedule is genuinely open. While I'm applying for graduate roles, I have plenty of time across the week to give your pet proper walks, care, and full attention. Mornings, afternoons, weekends, whatever fits your routine works for me. My home has a fully fenced garden with a secure gate, so pets can move around safely when they're with me. If I'm sitting at your place and there's no enclosed outdoor area, I keep dogs on the lead any time we're outside and stick to routes I know are safe. Either way, your pet gets close attention, regular check-ins on food and water, and they're never left alone for long stretches. Treating them with the utmost care is the baseline, not the extra.
“Lauren was amazing! I’ve been having issues recently with Bernard constantly having very high energy levels, however after his long walk with Lauren he was very chilled and relaxed. I loved seeing the photos of Bernard enjoying his walk also!”
About: I have been dog mad since I was a child, always wanting to be around dogs as they bring me such comfort. I have had an English Springer Spaniel for the past 11 years. I love taking him out for runs and watching him have fun. I am a university student at Royal Holloway looking for a job that can give me the flexibility around my uni schedule. I will always try to fit in with your schedule as well as mine. I will always take deep care with looking after your dog, making sure they are safe whilst either in your home or out for a walk. I will never stray away from any rules you may have as I would want my wishes to be respected if my dog was in someone else’s care.
About: I have had dogs for 10+ years. Prior to that, when I lived in London, we regularly looked after dogs through the "Borrow My Doggy" app. I am regularly working from home. We have our own dog, and I also only work 2 days a week. We have a lovely, friendly beagle of our own who loves people, children and having dogs over. I will be in charge of doggy care. I work from home, so I can be very flexible. I have a large garden, and our house backs onto a cricket field and park, which is lovely for walks. The downstairs of our house can be contained and has wood floors, which is good for dogs and keeping them clean. We love going for walks. I work from home at times and only work part-time. Our garden is safe and secure, as we have a beagle we have to ensure its secure for her.
About: A lifetime of caring for pets big and small, from hamsters to feathered friends and fish to fur babies. As fellow fur-baby parents who travel often, we know the stress of leaving them behind. That's why I treat every pet like my own, safe, loved, and happy while you're away. Having fur babies of my own has taught me how important consistency and attention are, so I approach every animal with the same care I give at home, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away ensuring bowls are full, paws are clean and tails are wagging if that means going for a walk or a cuddle. I have experience walking and caring for dogs of various sizes from frenchies and cockerpoos to cocker spaniels and chihuahuas to labradors. I offer dog walking services and drop in visits. Having two fur babies of my own has taught me how important consistency and attention are, so I approach every animal with the same care I give at home, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away ensuring bowls are full, paws are clean and tails are wagging if that means going for a walk or a cuddle. Please note that there is a small additional fee for walks more than 5 miles from Staines high street to account for travel costs and additional travel time. I provide attentive care tailored to each pet. I keep you updated, make sure pets are fed and walked as needed, and give cuddles if that's their thing. I follow their usual routines so they feel secure, happy, and loved while you are away or at work. I am dependable and adapt well and quickly to situations that require immediate attention and action.
About: I've always been the person that my friends and family ask first to sit their animals whilst they go on holiday, or out for the night or just simply want a break from them. I have been made redundant so currently, I have all the time (between job searching) to give your dog all the attention they deserve and ensure they go on an interesting walk, guided by their nose of course. I don't have any pets of my own, so they won't feel in competition with another animal. I have a fenced off garden if they need to go outside to relieve themselves and a good sized house they can roam around in, or they are welcome to cuddle up if they want to.
About: I’m a caring and responsible dog lover. I’m glad to help with dog walking and dog sitting in the area. I have a car and can give rides to dogs to walk in parks. I’m currently available for morning walks. I can come as early as needed if your pet is anxious to get out very early and not letting you sleep :) I offer care in pet owners home only as I have a cat at home. I’m happy to come over and meet your dog before the arranged date to make sure we get along! Contact me and we can chat about the details.
“Mac is absolutely wonderful! She (and her lovely dog Ruby) made sure that Yara had a brilliant time every time she went for a walk with them! Mac sent us so many lovely photos and videos of her time with Yara and she was also very flexible when we needed to amend a booking date due to an unforeseen event. Totally brilliant :)”
About: Animals have always been at the heart of my life. Growing up, my home was filled with dogs, cats, tortoises and more caring for them wasn’t a chore, it was something I genuinely loved. That passion has never left me. I find real joy in spending time with animals, understanding their personalities and making sure they feel safe and loved. Beyond my upbringing, I have hands on dogsitting experience caring for pets over extended periods, so I know what it takes to step in as a trusted carer. I’m attentive to each animal’s individual needs and always go the extra mile to ensure they’re comfortable, stimulated and happy. When your pet is with me, they’re not just being looked after they’re being genuinely cared for by someone who truly loves animals. Animals have always been at the heart of my life.

About: I love and have been surrounded by animals of all kinds, my whole life. I currently have one cat and two horses and regularly walk, feed and sit dogs for friends and family when they are away with work or on holiday. I have been pet sitting regularly using Rover for over two years now and it's a pleasure to take care of people's beloved pets in their own home whilst they're away. I work from home with flexible hours so I can be available at short notice for dog walks and as long as I have access to WIFI I can house sit (dogs or cats) and carry out day care from any location. I am fully insured to take care of your pet in your home. I like to be active and take long walks so if your furbaby is energetic this is good news for me! I am also more than happy to take short walks, or none at all if they prefer to stay close to home. If I am sitting for a few days or more (overnight stays) I can adapt my routine to suit your pet depending on their needs and requirements.

“Nadia has been brilliant with our two dogs and we'd highly recommend her. One of our dogs can be quite nervous around people he doesn't know, but was instantly at ease with Nadia, and I felt really happy leaving them with her. It is very hard to find someone you trust to look after your dogs (as, let's face it, most of us treat them like children!) but I cannot fault Nadia at all. She was attentive and caring at every stage and it's obvious that she and her family love dogs. We won't hesitate to use her again if she's available!”
“Blu had an other great time with Diane. She is always so well taken care of and seems to enjoy herself. I will gladly recommend Diane to other dog owners. She’s kind, loving and caring towards them.”
“Sarah looked after my dog Harry for a few days recently while I was away. Fair to say he had a great time and was very well cared for. I'd highly recommend Sarah to others looking for someone to look after their beloved pet.”
“David looked after my golden retriever Jasper for a week and I am so glad I picked him! We met beforehand and he was friendly and professional and then throughout the week he kept in regular contact and Jasper was extremely well looked after! I would recommend to anyone, thank you David x”
“Amy and family are delightful and clearly love dogs and making sure she had all the information needed for the stay. I know Wolfie really enjoyed his stay with lots of walks, a swim, cuddles and a large garden to enjoy! I was so glad that he had canine company too. Thank you so much for looking after our boy with care and attention. Highlyy recommended!”
“Eden was brilliant with my dog Bailey. I had a very last minute request and she responded immediately and provided great communication throughout Bailey’s stay. I felt comfortable leaving Bailey with Eden and her partner and their lovely dog Bertie and I could tell Bailey had a lovely time and was happy when I picked her up. I’d recommend Eden to others and will use again in the future!”
“This is the second time we have asked Sally to have our dog now and she and her lovely family did not disappoint. I Would highly recommend, she sends regular photo updates, is very quick to respond and is really lovely ☺️”
“Richard was fantastic. I had never left my girls at a sitters place so it felt like a big deal. Richard is a lovely chap and is extremely competent and genuine in his passion for dogs. The pup dates brought me so much joy to see what a complete blast my dogs were having in his care. I enjoyed a much needed holiday knowing Summer and Minnie were in very safe hands. Perfect experience from initial contact and I couldn’t recommend highly enough.”
“Our GSP always has the best time with Seb. He takes her for wonderful walks and she’s always wagging her tail in all the videos. Thank you Seb, we’ll definitely book you again.”
“Julia was truly amazing! This was our very first time leaving our pup with someone else, and she made the entire experience incredibly comforting (for both us and our dog!). From the start, she was attentive, responsive, and really took the time to listen to our needs and requests we had. She kept us updated with tons of messages and adorable photos, which made us feel totally at ease. Our pup settled in with her so naturally—it was clear he was happy and well cared for every step of the way. We are beyond grateful and would highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and loving caregiver for their dog!”
“The fur babies enjoyed their stay with Vicky immensely! The daily updates and care taken is really exceptional and can't be recommend enough. Truly an above and beyond service provided.”
About: Hi! We’re a caring and reliable family of 3 who absolutely love animals and understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pet. Animals have always been a big part of our lives, we’ve had both dogs and cats growing up and throughout our adult life, so caring for pets comes naturally to us. We currently have a beautiful Golden Retriever called Charlie, who we brought over with us from South Africa when we immigrated, and our cat Jag. The two of them are the best of mates! Our home is full of love, attention, and plenty of experience with animals of different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. For us, pets are family. Our animals are allowed on the furniture and beds, and they’re treated as part of the family every single day. We want every pet staying with us to feel relaxed, comfortable, loved, and right at home while you’re away. We know every pet has their own routine and needs, so we always make sure they feel safe and settled. Whether your dog enjoys long walks and playtime or simply relaxing with company and cuddles, we’re happy to adapt to what makes them happiest. As a family, your pet will receive lots of attention throughout the day, regular exercise, affection, and supervision. We’re also happy to stick closely to feeding schedules, medication, crate training, and any special routines to help your pet feel secure and comfortable. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always our priority, and we’ll care for them as if they were our own. What you can expect: • Regular photo and video updates • A loving family environment • Plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, and affection • Pets treated like part of the family • Safe, clean, and welcoming home • Reliable communication and flexible care We’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet, feel free to message us with any questions or special requests! Either myself, my wife or son will be home during the day. We never leave our pets alone for longer than a couple hours. Weekends we love to take Charlie to the park for walks and play time. We have a large fenced off garden for our beautiful friendly golden retriever called Charlie and our loving Cat Jag, they both sleep in our room, most of the time on the bed.
“From our initial contact Anthony was easy to communicate with and on our meet and greet we could tell he was focused on our dog. We left the meet and greet reassured. On our return Charlie Brown was content and well looked after. No hesitation in recommending Anthony and hopefully he will be free and accept our booking next time.”
“Stella was incredible with Bella and shadow looking after them and keeping both me and my girlfriend updated with pictures and how they were doing while they stayed with her which reassured me and my girlfriend they were being looked after and cared for why they were away from us while we were on holiday she also kept us updated on anything that was needed for them while we were away on holiday and she was very friendly with Bella and shadow which made their stay with her a relaxing experience for them”
“We cannot recommend Kim highly enough. This was Harley's first ever overnight stay away from us, so naturally we were quite nervous, especially as he is a very particular little dog with his own routines and quirks. From the moment we met them, they made us feel completely at ease. They took the time to understand Harley's routine, his fussy eating habits and his love of cuddles, and treated him as if he was one of their own. Throughout his stay they kept us updated with lovely messages and photos, which really reassured us that he was happy and settled. When we collected Harley he was calm, content and clearly very well looked after. It was obvious he had received so much love, attention and care. Knowing he was in such safe hands meant the world to us. We would not hesitate to leave Harley with Kim again and would recommend them to anyone looking for caring, attentive and genuinely lovely dog sitters. Thank you both so much for taking such wonderful care of our little boy.”
“We cannot recommend Ciaran and his partner Amy highly enough. We were a little apprehensive leaving our very active puppy but right from our first meeting they were calm and reassuring with her and laid our concerns to rest. During Mia's stay we received regular photographic updates of her out and about on a variety of walks as well as fast asleep afterwards. We would certainly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter and would use them again should the need arise.”
