“We left our cat, Mito, with Stacey for 3 days and couldn’t be more happy with how it went! She sent us very frequent updates and photos of his time with her, and both her and her cat bonded with him. We will definitely rebook with Stacey in the future! :)”
“Michandra and her family took wonderful care of Elf. He looked so happy and calm and he was having so much fun in all the lovely updates I received. Feel so lucky to have found a sitter like Michandra. Super flexible and understanding about flight changes and pick up/drop off times. She did a great job of making sure he took all his medication as needed.”
“This is the first time we’ve used Monika and I was quite nervous as Bailey and Bertie didn’t know her but I didn’t need to worry as she took great care of them, sending me daily photos and updates which really put my mind at rest. She even gave them a bath so they were lovely and clean when I picked them up. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for boarding for their pets.”
“Poppy has made herself very much part of family and had a lovely time with Chaelotte. Reuben was a star and provided Poppy with lots of cuddles. Plenty of walks considering the heat of the day and was a very happy dog on pick up. Would highly recommend!!”
“Sara was great. She responded very promptly every time I contacted her and was really flexible when I changed meeting dates. Our dog had a lovely day with Sara and her pooch Taylor. Sara sent me pics of to keep me updated to show that our pooch was relaxed and happy. Thanks so much Sara”
“Emily and Scott are truly amazing! I can't say enough wonderful things about them both. I was so nervous about leaving my pup behind for the first time, but they quickly put all my worries at ease. From the moment I walked into their beautiful, welcoming home, I felt completely comfortable—it didn’t feel like it was our first time meeting. Biscuit quickly settled in and was so happy to be there. Their home is incredibly dog-friendly, and it’s clear they genuinely love what they do. Throughout my time away, Emily sent regular updates and adorable pictures, which I absolutely loved and looked forward to each day. Her communication was excellent—she always responded quickly to my messages. They truly treated Biscuit like one of their own, which meant the world to me. Honestly, I was almost afraid he wouldn’t want to come back home—he was on his own little holiday too! I’ve already rebooked with them for our next trip and won’t even consider looking anywhere else for Biscuit’s care. I highly recommend Emily and Scott—you (and your pup) will be in the best hands!”
“I’m so pleased to have met Jackie and her family, absolutely lovely caring people. I instantly felt at ease leaving my little Pom cross Evie with them and overnight. I had such lovely photos and updates. I could instantly tell Evie had a wonderful time and was taken care of. I have already rebooked.”
“Jing and family made sure charlie had a great stay, he came back very happy and we were updated with lots of photos throughout his stay, Jing is a top sitter and we would happily have Charlie stay with her again.”
“Lisa was wonderful - friendly and clearly very experienced. She was great at keeping us updated and sending photos of the dogs while we were away, which reassured us well, since it's the first time we'd left them anywhere. Great sitter, we'll definitely use her again.”
“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 !”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life & have rescued 2 dogs of my own (ages 9 & 6) along with regularly caring for family and friends pets. Over the recent years, I have fostered 4 dogs which have included Rottweiler and Cane Corsos. I work from home regularly and on days where I am working in the office (typically 2 days a week) I will have 1 hour break to spend time/let out/walk your dog along with my 2 so they will never be left for more than 4 hours at any one time during the day. I live directly next to a number of large fields which I will ensure your pet has sufficient exercise during their stay. Due to my 2 dogs coming from rescue centres, they are used to being around plenty of dogs of all sizes. As previously mentioned, all dogs that I have cared for in the last 3 years have all come from different backgrounds with some difficult behaviours/personalities so I am able to adapt to any dogs needs. Your pet will have access to my full home and will be allowed on the sofas if this is something your pet is used too. I am also happy to crate your pet should this be their routine, please provide a crate for the duration of their stay. Your pet will receive a minimum of 2 long walks a day with plenty of breaks in the garden during the day with plenty of toys to play with inside too. I have a large fenced garden with plenty of walks nearby without having to travel. Due to having 2 needy dogs they are very rarely left unattended which means your pet will have company 90% of the time. During any stay at your pets home I will ensure that their routine is followed just the same and will remain professional throughout.
“Jess had mango over night, she kept us updated with photos & messages. Hired an enclosed field so the girls could have a good run around. We’d mentioned we take mango to the pub; and I love that they took her as well. Mango has come back super happy, tired from playing ( which she loves!) Will definitely be using Jess again… she is a proper dog person who understands each dogs certain ways. Nothing is too much to ask. Big thank you xx”
About: I've had both dogs and cats my whole life, from tiny Pomeranians to a German Shepherd, so I'm comfortable caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. Since moving to the UK, I've also gained experience through BorrowMyDoggy, looking after some wonderful furry friends. Some of my favourite guests include Lola the Maltese, Winston the giant Goldendoodle, and Cooper, a darling three-toothed cat! ❤️ I don't have any children or pets of my own, so your pet will enjoy a calm, quiet home with plenty of love and affection. We also have an unfenced meadow just outside for short walks, sniffing, and the occasional zoomies! Your pet's safety is my top priority. I keep doors and windows secure during warmer weather and use fans to keep the house cool and comfortable. I'm always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet before a booking so you, and most importantly your pet, can get to know me and feel completely at ease. I absolutely adore animals and look forward to the opportunity to care for your pet as if they were my own. I can't wait to meet you both! I work full-time, splitting my week between the office (3 days) and working from home (2 days). When I'm caring for a furry guest, I'm happy to adjust my schedule so I can be home more often. On office days, I'm only a 15-minute cycle from home, and I also have a car if needed. My office is also dog-friendly, so with your permission and if it's the right fit for your pup, they may even be able to join me at work! I live in a comfortable two-bedroom townhouse, so there's space for pets who enjoy a quiet retreat as well as those who prefer to be by my side throughout the day. Weekends are usually relaxed. I enjoy spending time at home and taking leisurely walks around the neighbourhood, making it the perfect time for extra sniffs, cuddles and playtime! I don't have any children or pets of my own, so your pet will have my full attention during their stay. For your pet's safety, I will always keep them on a lead when we are outside unless you have specifically discussed another arrangement with me. I’m happy to take dogs for walks in the morning and evening before and after work, as well as offering a final toilet break before bedtime. I want your dog to feel as comfortable as possible while they’re away from home, so you’re welcome to bring their bed, blanket, or any familiar items that help them settle in. I’m very safety-conscious in my home and keep doors and windows securely closed so pets can relax safely. During warmer weather, I make sure they stay comfortable with fans and other cooling measures. In the unlikely event of an emergency, I have a car that I can use to transport your pet if needed.
“Claire could not have been more accommodating and gave me such confidence when leaving Mervyn - he was a very happy boy for his stay and i would highly recommend Claire and would not hesitate to leave Mervyn with her again”
“Claire was fantastic with Ziggy, she made her feel very welcome, took great care of her, even bought her new wipes and oil for her food so a I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her to anyone leaving their dog to be looked after.”
“Amanda was so kind, and excellent communication and updates throughout really set us at ease. The whole family took such good care of our Hazel-- I think she loved her stay. I'd strongly recommend Amanda and we'll definitely be working with her again in future.”

“Our first time using this app since we got our kitten. Lucy arranged a meet and greet with us to meet little Luna and she was so comfortable with her from the jump! We were able to go to London stress free for the day with Lucy giving us updates post their session. It was also so lovely seeing such a happy kitten on our return. Thanks Lucy. Will deffo book again x”
About: I have 2 cats at home called Nancy and Oliver. I have had cats since I was little. I have been cat sitting for other people for 10 years now. From diabetic to hyperthyroid to ultimate sass. I am more than comfortable with it all.
“Cora did a great job of looking after our cat while we were away over Easter. All visits went smoothly and we received lovely updates and photos so that we could see that she was happy and well fed. Thank you!”
“Jenna was absolutely wonderful looking after our sweet cat. She’s thorough and caring, and sent pictures and updates every day. My cat was very happy and content with her care. I will definitely book her again. Thank you, Jenna!”
“Fantastic Pet visits by Nadia- thank you! Our first time using the Rover Service and super impressed with the ease of arranging. Pumpkin our cat was relaxed and happy on our return- all his needs were met. So happy he got to play whilst we were away for a few days. Would highly recommend Nadia who is a dedicated animal lover. I hope she is available for future visits in 2026…”
“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.”
About: As a lifelong cat owner and animal lover, I have experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities. Over the past two years, I have completed a variety of cat-sitting jobs, providing attentive care, feeding, playtime, companionship, and regular updates for owners. Having had cats all my life, I understand the importance of maintaining their routine and ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.
About: I've been taking care of cats over the past 4 years. From mature cats to super energetic cats. You can count on me for regular updates, photos, and open communication throughout each stay because I know how important peace of mind is when you’re trusting someone with your cat
“Daisy was very attentive and caring towards our cats and sent us pictures and a report daily to keep us up to date. She asked thoughtful questions and prioritised the wellbeing of our cats which we really appreciated, as well as being a lovely person in general. Absolutely recommend her.”
About: Rather than being maternal, I have been told I'm 100% "cat"-ernal! I love cats, they are incredibly clever and I have a deep respect for them. I have trained my cats using commands, hand gestures and more recently sign language for my deaf cat- it really works! I have endless patience especially for geriatric cats and when it goes to play or fuss, I go at their pace. I always inspect their poos- it says a lot about how healthy they are, and keep an eye on any changes in their temperament, eating and general habits. If they are unwell, I know what signs to lookout for, how to check them over and how to react. Nothing is too much when it comes to their happiness.
“Stacey was absolutely fantastic. Our little boy Otto (Maine coon) kitten had a lovely 5 night stay with Stacey. Stacey kept us up dated with photos and even gave us some advice in dealing with the hot weather and bought him a cooling mat! Thanks Stacey!”
About: A lover of all animals, giving pets love and care gives me great pleasure! I’ve owned small to large dogs throughout my life so i’m comfortable with all breeds. I also have owned cats, rabbits (which also had babies!), guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, fish and a horse. Needless to say it gives me great joy to care for them all and get to know all of their quirky personalities. I can be as flexible as possible with any needs you may have, every pet and their owners needs are different so whatever your situation is do not hesitate to get in touch and we will see if I can accommodate what you need. Looking forward to meeting your very best friends!

About: We have been looking after pets for 20+ years. From my first puppy, Muffin, when I was 10 to looking after friends and family’s dogs simply because we love them. We have got extensive experience looking after multiple breeds. I work from home so I am around at all times of day to look after your dog. We are also available at weekends and during school holidays. We have multiple closed off spaces so your pet can have their own space when they want/need it if we are looking after more than one dog at a time. We have a few dogs that we frequently look after, so your dog will quickly become friends with them - coming to our house is like meeting up with all their friends (they get so excited to see each other). We have a safe and enclosed medium sized garden, and are surrounded by miles and miles of fields so there is plenty of space for your dog to play.

Most of all, my boy who had never stayed away from us before was very happy. We will definitely be in contact whenever we need someone to help with caring for our dog again. Thank you Jing”
“Would highly recommend Claire for dog sitting. Ralph spent the day with both Claire and her lovely dog Marlowe when we were visiting the area for an event. She was very quick to reply to my request and I had excellent communication with Claire from start to finish. Ralph looked very happy and relaxed when I collected him & Claire sent lovely photos of him snuggled on the her sofa. She evidently loves her charges and takes pride in making them feel very welcome. Wish I lived nearer as would definitely love to use Claire for dog sitting again.”

About: I’ve always had a love for dogs, slobber and all - growing up dogs were such a big part of my life, treating them like one of the family!

About: Being a veterinary nurse gives me the skill set to care for those pets with additional needs, both medical and behavioural. I have experiance with puppies and kittens, from hand rearing to puppy parties. I enjoy care of senior patients with mobility issues or those needing that extra TLC. I work as a veterinary nurse still but on reduced hours so it will be around my hours. When house sitting I will not be taking on nursing shifts at the same time so I can give your pets my full attention. When caring for your pets in your own home I look to keep there routine as normal as possible. I find the key to happy and settled pets is ensuring there routine isn't disruptive.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. Growing up with a mum who was a veterinary nurse, I was surrounded by all kinds of creatures and learned early on how to care for them with confidence and compassion. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of helping with a dog rescue charity, supporting the rehabilitation and rehoming of dogs from Serbia—an experience that deepened my understanding of not only behavioural and lifestyle needs but emotional. I’ve cared for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats wnd rodents and have built a solid, hands-on knowledge across many species. Whether your pet is big or small, fluffy or scaly, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I would my own. Driving license ✅ DBS check ✅ Fully insured ✅ Following an accident, I took the opportunity to reassess my career and realised that working with animals brings me the greatest sense of purpose and fulfilment. I’ve now made pet care my full-time profession, combining years of hands-on experience with a genuine commitment to the wellbeing of every animal in my care. To further my knowledge and enhance the services I offer, I’m also undertaking additional training and courses focused on animal care and welfare. This means that—if I’m not already booked—I’m ready and waiting to help whenever you and your animals need me. I make sure every pet’s routine and needs are followed carefully, so they feel comfortable and secure. If I’m caring for them at home, you can expect a happy, relaxed pet and a home that’s left just as clean—or even cleaner—than when I arrived. If they’re staying with me, they’ll have plenty of space to roam and explore, with miles of open fields and a secure fenced area to keep them safe while they have fun.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 6 years now from friends pets to family dogs and I’ve had the chance to look after all kinds of breeds and personalities! I’ve always loved dogs, and nearly two years ago I finally got one of my own my sweet girl, Miko. That experience really taught me just how much time, patience and care dogs need (and deserve!). Looking after dogs is something I genuinely enjoy it keeps me active, boosts my mental health, and just makes me happy. I’m lucky to have the time and flexibility to give them my full attention. Dogs are such loyal, fun, and loving animals, and that’s exactly why I’ve started offering dog walking and sitting services. I truly believe they deserve the best care and I’m here to provide just that! I’m currently self-employed, which gives me the flexibility to set my own schedule. This means I can prioritize dog care and am available any day or time your pup needs me. When I’m not looking after dogs, I work around their schedule so your dog always comes first! I have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely play and relax. My own dog Miko, is a friendly and playful female who loves the company of other dogs but she’s also great at reading the room and knows when to settle down. If your dog prefers some quiet time or space to themselves, that’s no problem at all. Miko is very calm and respectful, so your pup can feel comfortable and at ease here. 😋
About: I have grown up with dog's, I have loved dogs all my life and I have become very intuitive with their wants and needs. I like to be very active, so dogs that enjoy long walks, hikes and even runs (if that's something they would enjoy) )will be in great hands and I will bring them back well exercised. Me and my partner now have our own Miniature Labradoodle, who is super friendly and absolutely loves the company of other dogs, so if you are looking to go away and want your dog to have a mini break or their own, we are definitely the home for you. What I offer Dog walking, everyday early morning and late evenings but lots of days available throughout the week. Pet sitting and overnight stays at my own house alongside Teddy (we wouldn't host more than one dog at a time as to not overwhelm either dog). Teddy is allowed on our sofa and sleep on their own beds upstairs, so however your dog is looked after at home, we would do our best to replicate that and make sure any training was stuck too, while treating them as part of the pack. Pet sitting and overnight stays elsewhere on occasion Checking up on your pets whenever I am available in the day. Any other requests taken into consideration. My Partner will also be present and works from home the majority of the time, so your best friend will be well looked after and supervised at all times. Me and my partner work full time, but usually have alternative schedules with him WFH 3 days a week, so there is rarely a time where our own dogs are left alone. We have an active lifestyle and like to involve our dogs in that, long walks, runs and days out to the beach. We both absolutely love dogs, all shapes and sizes. I regularly look after my mums dogs overnight and every dog that comes in the house is treated like our own. We offer a fun, calm atmosphere while making sure everyone is behaving themselves.We do love being active and we wouldn't shy away from looking after any high energy dogs!

About: I have owned or cared for cats, dogs, lizards, snakes, rabbits, sheep, horses, chickens and many more for over 20 years. Raised in the countryside around animals and a zoologist by education, my life has centred around our furred friends for as long as I can remember, let me hang out with yours! I am currently available 24/7 due to having recently finished a contract with the NHS, until this changes I am free to help you out whenever. Any instructions or recommendations for your pets welfare, care and enrichment will be followed to the letter.

“Jing and family made sure charlie had a great stay, he came back very happy and we were updated with lots of photos throughout his stay, Jing is a top sitter and we would happily have Charlie stay with her again.”
“Lisa was wonderful - friendly and clearly very experienced. She was great at keeping us updated and sending photos of the dogs while we were away, which reassured us well, since it's the first time we'd left them anywhere. Great sitter, we'll definitely use her again.”
“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 !”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life & have rescued 2 dogs of my own (ages 9 & 6) along with regularly caring for family and friends pets. Over the recent years, I have fostered 4 dogs which have included Rottweiler and Cane Corsos. I work from home regularly and on days where I am working in the office (typically 2 days a week) I will have 1 hour break to spend time/let out/walk your dog along with my 2 so they will never be left for more than 4 hours at any one time during the day. I live directly next to a number of large fields which I will ensure your pet has sufficient exercise during their stay. Due to my 2 dogs coming from rescue centres, they are used to being around plenty of dogs of all sizes. As previously mentioned, all dogs that I have cared for in the last 3 years have all come from different backgrounds with some difficult behaviours/personalities so I am able to adapt to any dogs needs. Your pet will have access to my full home and will be allowed on the sofas if this is something your pet is used too. I am also happy to crate your pet should this be their routine, please provide a crate for the duration of their stay. Your pet will receive a minimum of 2 long walks a day with plenty of breaks in the garden during the day with plenty of toys to play with inside too. I have a large fenced garden with plenty of walks nearby without having to travel. Due to having 2 needy dogs they are very rarely left unattended which means your pet will have company 90% of the time. During any stay at your pets home I will ensure that their routine is followed just the same and will remain professional throughout.
“Jess had mango over night, she kept us updated with photos & messages. Hired an enclosed field so the girls could have a good run around. We’d mentioned we take mango to the pub; and I love that they took her as well. Mango has come back super happy, tired from playing ( which she loves!) Will definitely be using Jess again… she is a proper dog person who understands each dogs certain ways. Nothing is too much to ask. Big thank you xx”
About: I've had both dogs and cats my whole life, from tiny Pomeranians to a German Shepherd, so I'm comfortable caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. Since moving to the UK, I've also gained experience through BorrowMyDoggy, looking after some wonderful furry friends. Some of my favourite guests include Lola the Maltese, Winston the giant Goldendoodle, and Cooper, a darling three-toothed cat! ❤️ I don't have any children or pets of my own, so your pet will enjoy a calm, quiet home with plenty of love and affection. We also have an unfenced meadow just outside for short walks, sniffing, and the occasional zoomies! Your pet's safety is my top priority. I keep doors and windows secure during warmer weather and use fans to keep the house cool and comfortable. I'm always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet before a booking so you, and most importantly your pet, can get to know me and feel completely at ease. I absolutely adore animals and look forward to the opportunity to care for your pet as if they were my own. I can't wait to meet you both! I work full-time, splitting my week between the office (3 days) and working from home (2 days). When I'm caring for a furry guest, I'm happy to adjust my schedule so I can be home more often. On office days, I'm only a 15-minute cycle from home, and I also have a car if needed. My office is also dog-friendly, so with your permission and if it's the right fit for your pup, they may even be able to join me at work! I live in a comfortable two-bedroom townhouse, so there's space for pets who enjoy a quiet retreat as well as those who prefer to be by my side throughout the day. Weekends are usually relaxed. I enjoy spending time at home and taking leisurely walks around the neighbourhood, making it the perfect time for extra sniffs, cuddles and playtime! I don't have any children or pets of my own, so your pet will have my full attention during their stay. For your pet's safety, I will always keep them on a lead when we are outside unless you have specifically discussed another arrangement with me. I’m happy to take dogs for walks in the morning and evening before and after work, as well as offering a final toilet break before bedtime. I want your dog to feel as comfortable as possible while they’re away from home, so you’re welcome to bring their bed, blanket, or any familiar items that help them settle in. I’m very safety-conscious in my home and keep doors and windows securely closed so pets can relax safely. During warmer weather, I make sure they stay comfortable with fans and other cooling measures. In the unlikely event of an emergency, I have a car that I can use to transport your pet if needed.
“Claire could not have been more accommodating and gave me such confidence when leaving Mervyn - he was a very happy boy for his stay and i would highly recommend Claire and would not hesitate to leave Mervyn with her again”
“Amanda was so kind, and excellent communication and updates throughout really set us at ease. The whole family took such good care of our Hazel-- I think she loved her stay. I'd strongly recommend Amanda and we'll definitely be working with her again in future.”
“Silma was fantastic! She communicated clearly from start to finish – welcoming me and showing me around her home, and keeping me updated throughout the day. She was proactive, attentive, and took wonderful care of my little girl, who I found relaxed and happy when I picked her up. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you, Silma!”
“Hilton is a fantastic choice to take care of your dog for 2 days or 2 weeks as he did most recently for our dog Max. He is a very natural dog person, and it is clear that he knows how to look after them from the moment they arrive. He ensures they get the exercise and stimulation they need whilst in a comfortable setting and environment, with fields and greenery on his doorstep for great walks. Would recommend him to anyone who wants to ensure their pet has a great time whilst being in a pair of very safe hands.”
“Took Lilo, my little whippet here for a stay and she had the best of stays! Entertained throughout and has gained a new friend in Butters Will definitely use them again in the future”
“Our red lab Pippin loved staying with Jess. She got on really well with Jess's dog Piper, and they had lots of walks in the open countryside, and splashing in the stream, beside where Jess lives. I would definitely recommend staying with her!”
“Emma is amazing! She is perfect in communicating and sent me updates on Balu nearly every day, as she asked me how many updates I would like from the beginning of my trip, which I thought was great! Balu trusted her immediately and was really happy and healthy returning back to me. Thank you Emma!”
“Emily and Ed were absolutely wonderful with Luna! They took such great care of her and really treated her like one of their own. We especially appreciated the regular updates and photos they sent via text - it made us feel so at ease while we were away. They also stuck closely to Luna’s usual routine, which meant a lot to us. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and would love to stay in touch!”
