“Our cat went to stay with Stacey for a week, she did a wonderful job of taking care of him, even went out of her way to get him to eat when he decided not too. We got sent some pictures which put our minds at ease. We will definitely use Stacey in the future. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Robinand Betsy took excellent care of our two small dogs. They were very relaxed about having them in their home and allowed them to sleep in their beds upstairs which must have been a comfort to them. Robin sent us gorgeous pictures of their adventures. We were very pleased with the care.”
“I was super scared to leave my rescued—super reactive— dog with anyone. I had never, in fact. The meet and greet with Amanda was amazing. From minute one, my dog felt at ease. After that, it was no difficult for me to leave them alone foe the day. Amanda sent me comments, pics and even videos to keep my peace of mind. My dog was sleeping with her on the sofa, not a worry in the world. The whole process has been easy and smooth. I will definitely book with her again. Thanks so much, Amanda.”
“Brody clearly had a great time with Lisa. We got some lovely updates to see how he was getting on. He’s very much looking forward to returning and we’re glad we have found someone we feel very happy leaving him with 🥰”
About: I am a well experience dog boarder who has been trusted to care for dogs from a young age. Now living with my partner at RAF Benson, we have acquired our dog boarding license and made our home as perfect as possible for dogs of all kinds. They will have daily exercise at local dog fields in the surrounding area, get lots of treats and attention, whilst your kept well informed with everything going on to make your time away as stress free as possible! I’m a full-time dog boarder offering 24/7 care. Your dog will join our daily group walks at a private, secure dog field, once or twice a day depending on their routine and your preference, so zero recall isn’t an issue. Back at home, they can enjoy plenty of cuddles on the sofa or relax in one of our many comfy dog beds. We’ll keep their feeding routine exactly as it is at home, and at bedtime they can sleep wherever they’re happiest in one of our crates, on a dog bed or even on the bed! You’ll also receive regular photos and updates throughout their stay, so you can relax knowing they’re happy, settled and well cared for. Safety is at the heart of everything we do. Lauren is trained in Pet First Aid and Pet CPR, and we have comprehensive safety measures and procedures in place, including: •Dedicated dog and human first-aid kits • Fire extinguishers and fire blankets throughout the home • Safety latches and secure locks on doors and windows. • A coded deadbolt on the porch door • A fully enclosed 6-foot secure garden •Pet-safe cleaning products and strict hygiene procedures • Detailed procedures to follow for safety, emergencies, cleaning, feeding and the care of every dog We don’t just meet the expected standard of care, we aim to go above and beyond it. Every detail has been carefully considered to make sure your dog is safe, comfortable and well cared for throughout their stay. And most importantly, this is our home, not a kennel. Your dog becomes part of our household from the moment they arrive, receiving the same love, attention and care we give our own dogs. ❤️
“We needed someone to look after Pablo 'last minute' and Jing was quick to respond and really helped us out. Lots of updates while we were away and Pablo was well looked after and clearly enjoyed himself 🙂”
“Luciane provided a convenient reliable boarding service. I enjoyed seeing the WhatsApp vids of my dog Pepper on her walkies each day. Luciane caters for lots of dogs at one time so they are exposed to a lot of socialising.”
“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 !”
“I absolutely love Emily and so does Biscuit! This was our second time with Emily and Biscuit was so excited when we arrived at her house. He settled right in even before I left- I could see how comfortable he was. Emily is so kind and you can tell that her and Scott really love taking care of dogs. They keep to his same schedule and sends me daily updates which I love because it keeps my mind at ease. I actually look forward to hearing how the day and night went. Sometimes I even get videos which always makes me smile. I can't say enough wonderful things about Emily. I just know we found our people and we won't go anywhere else.”
“Jackie and family were so great with our Spaniel, they only had her interests at heart and gave her so much attention. We definitely recommend them and will be using them again (hopefully) they took her on all kinds of adventures and catered for her every need. House is lovely and secure and we didn’t have a worry at all about leaving the dog with them.”
“Claire and her family (and gentle dog Coco) looked after our springerpoo Tara for 10 days this summer. Tara can be a bit anxious when staying somewhere new, but we felt very comfortable leaving her with them - and were sent regular updates and photos throughout, assuring us that she was having the best time. Claire is warm and friendly, and obviously loves dogs - and I can thoroughly recommend her.”
“Betsy was in good hands with Silma and her family. They were patient and understanding and Betsy seemed happy and at ease! Communication was great. I wouldn't hesitate to leave her with Silma again.”
“Absolutely amazing! I had regular updates and photos sent to me, she was truly loved by Quentin and his partner, they treated her like their own and was so relaxed when she came back. Have already booked back in!”
“Leo really had the best time with Amanda and Jeremy and Bailey the sweetest spaniel. They took the time to make sure Leo would be comfortable with them and Bailey and It really felt like nothing was too much trouble. We got lots of photos during his stay. Now when my husband walks past their house Leo literally tries to drag him in. We would 1000% recommend them.”
“Lindsey was a pleasure to work with! From the moment I dropped my dog off to the pick up she was very communicative, send frequent updates and made effort to ensure my pup was having a great time. I would recommend Lindsey for any of your dog sitting needs! Thank you x”
“Vicky took her time during the meet and greet to understand Joey’s needs. She sent lovely photos and was patient when Joey needed settling in. Joey came back looking like a happy boy. Thanks so much”

“Jenna was so great with my cat! I had daily updates which were very informative and could tell he was well taken care of. I would highly recommend Jenna to anyone looking for catsitting!”
“Cora was absolutely fantastic, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! While I was away, Beau unexpectedly got out due to something that happened before Cora's visit, and I was understandably worried about him. Cora immediately went above and beyond to help make sure he arrived safely back home and was well looked after. She kept me regularly updated and informed throughout, which gave me so much reassurance while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Beau and his wellbeing and went far beyond what I could ever have expected from a cat sitter. When we returned home, Beau was clean, happy and clearly very well cared for. I am so grateful to Cora for everything she did and for the peace of mind she gave me while I was away. Thank you so much, Cora — you really went above and beyond for Beau! 🐾❤️ I would not hesitate to book you again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely caring to look after their pet.”
“I came home to two very contented, happy cats after Loreta had been caring for them while I was on holiday. Loreta was brilliant - she and the cats made friends quickly at the meet and great, she had great communication before and during the booking, and kindly did additional things like watering my plants. It was so great to relax on holiday knowing that my cats were in such capable, caring hands.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little. I now have my own dog Badger who is a 14 months old and super friendly with all dogs and children. I run hockey afterschool care clubs only three hours a week, so I am at home almost all the time, living in the countryside dedicating all my time to my dogs. I have a first class degree in education and am about to start my masters degree at Oxford University which will be one evening per week. So I have a lot of time to dedicate to doggy day care, walking and house sitting etc. Badger loves having friends to play with or snooze next too!
“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…”
“Stacey took really good care of our cat Caesar whilst we were away. She went out of her way to make him feel comfortable and happy, and kept me updated throughout the week. She was patient with him as he was a bit scared, and gave him lots of attention and the odd treat, which I’m sure he loved! I would recommend Stacey to anyone who needs their cat looked after.”
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.
“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: 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.
“Naomi was a fantastic sitter, we couldn’t have asked for better she looked after our cat so well, really friendly and trustworthy and we would love to book her again when we next are away. Thanks so much!”
About: I have had cats my entire life, and absolutely love them, so I know them very well. I think I like them so much because we have similar personalities, understand boundaries, and needing personal space haha! I'm probably what's known as a 'crazy cat lady', but with the right amount of crazy. I have also had a dog, rabbits, budgies, fish, crabs, and hamsters throughout my life. Moreover, I have pet sit dogs, rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, fish, guinea pigs, and a bearded dragon. I have done pet sitting on and off for the last 10 years, starting when I used to live in Thailand, and then when I moved back to England years ago, mainly for people who were away for days or weeks at a time, and I have enjoyed every minute. I have previously also been a volunteer dog walk for a local sanctuary. I can deal with giving medication (but must be spoken about and agreed prior to booking), as my cat has a thyroid issue and needs daily medication, along with the routine worming tablets etc. I will love your pet as my own and give them the absolute best care. I look forward to meeting your pets!
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
About: I believe what sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and understanding I bring to every pet I look after. As a teacher, I’m naturally patient, reliable, and highly organised, which means you can trust that your pet will be safe, well cared for, and given plenty of attention. I have experience working with a range of needs, including young pets who require consistency, basic training, and lots of energy, as well as older pets who may need a gentler approach, medication, or extra comfort and reassurance. I’m confident reinforcing routines, supporting basic training (such as lead walking or simple commands), and adapting my care to suit each individual animal. I also understand how important communication is, so I make sure to keep owners updated with regular messages and photos for peace of mind. Above all, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own—making sure they feel happy, secure, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I was born into a cat-loving family with four cats in the house. I am a reliable individual, happy to exercise kittens with enrichment and play or give quality time to older cats. I also have experience working with stray and nervous cats.
About: I've owned and cared for cats for about 15 years. Cats, like most pets, are unique and so special. Each cat has their own unique personality, preferences and quirks. I'm comfortable adapting to each cat's needs and routine. Whether your cat is sociable and affectionate or a little more reserved, I'll take the time to earn their trust and make sure they feel happy and well cared for while you're away.

Thank you Lindsay, would highly recommend, peace of mind knowing he is happy and safe 🐶”

“This was Cooper's 1st visit to Robin and Betsy's house and it was very successful. He was welcomed with enthusiasm into their home and it was clear that he'd had a good time as he was very chilled and relaxed when we collected him. They are a very friendly couple with an obvious love of dogs so we feel totally confident leaving Cooper with them. We look forward to future stays and hope that this is the start of a good relationship for us all.”

We are a couple, both flexible on working in the office and at home. Can provide over night dog stays, walking or visits. Available for morning walks (6-11am), lunch walks (12-2pm) or evening walks (5-10pm). We have a good set up at home for dog care, a large open fenced garden. Can provide a crate if required.

“Emily and Scott are a super couple. Tabu spent 12 hours with them in their lovely home and didn’t want to leave. They are doggy friendly and have made their home very welcoming to dogs and their owners. I can’t recommend highly enough and we will definitely be back. Already looking at our diaries to ensure Tabu can stay there again!! Thank you both.”
“Another happy pooch and another set of pleased pawrents. An afternoon and evening stay with Jing, Updates and photos provided. Replies sent promptly. Can't ask for anything more.”
“Lisa did a fantastic job looking after my two dogs. She was reliable, caring, and clearly loves dogs. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands, and they both were very happy,and well cared for when I got back. Really appreciated the photo updates too.”
About: I adore dogs, love getting to know them and adapting to looking after their unique personalities. I love giving them cuddles and lots of attention. I work from home 9 to 5 M-F and can fit caring around my job, I'm active and love walking so love taking dogs out for walkies. I have a cosy and warm 2 bed home with a safe enclosed 15m garden on a quiet cul-de-sac. I am proactive and thoughtful, making sure I can fit best around your and your pets needs so that your pet has an awesome time with me, and you can be safe in the knowledge they are being pampered and cared for well. Lots of nice walks nearby, and I like to vary my route to suit each dog I sit.
“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.”
“Orla had a great time with Junior and Fabiana! She enjoyed her nice long walks, gets along really well with Blu and comes home a very happy girl every time. They’ve also been really flexible even with last minute requests, highly recommend 😊”
About: I want every dog in my care to feel like they are staying in a home away from home. I have plenty of time to give them attention, companionship, play and walks throughout the day, rather than leaving them on their own for long periods. I have a secure, fully fenced garden and no other pets, which means I can provide a calm environment and give each dog plenty of individual attention. I only take a small number of dogs at a time so I can focus on their needs and make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I also understand how reassuring it is for owners to know their dog is happy and safe, so I’m happy to send regular updates and photos during their stay. I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care and can fit walks, playtime, toilet breaks and plenty of attention into my daily routine. I’m happy to work around each pet’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, rest and bedtime, so they can have a familiar and comfortable experience while they’re in my care. For daycare and boarding, I’m able to give pets plenty of company throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know how they’re getting on. I have a calm, welcoming home with a secure, fully fenced garden, giving dogs a safe space to enjoy some outdoor time. I don't have any pets of my own, and I only take a small number of dogs at a time so I can give each one plenty of individual attention. I always follow owners’ instructions and take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine and individual needs. I’m patient with dogs who may be nervous or take a little while to settle, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos while they’re with me.
“Nicole and Brad are absolutely wonderful. Harvey had the best day, was well taken care of, and didn't want to leave! They were also very flexible with our schedule, and fit us in at last minute. We'll definitely be scheduling time with them again.”
“I couldn't be happier with Lauren's day care services. Our dog, Baxter, had a fantastic time with her, making new doggy friends and feeling right at home. The whole experience, from pick-up to drop-off, was seamless and stress-free. Lauren was incredibly easy to communicate with, keeping me updated on how Baxter was doing and even sending photos. It gave me great peace of mind to know that Baxter was well cared for while I was away on the other side of the world. I highly recommend Lauren and her excellent services!”

About: I have spent my entire life surrounded by animals, which has given me a deep understanding of pet behaviour across what I like to call both ends of the spectrum. Growing up, my family welcomed a rescue Border Collie into our home, which taught me so much about patience, high-energy breeds, and earning a dog's trust. Later, we raised a German Shepherd from a tiny puppy all the way through to her beautiful senior years before she crossed the rainbow bridge. Navigating that full lifecycle gave me invaluable experience with everything from puppy socialisation to gentle, specialised senior care. Today, my home is happily run by my three miniature Dachshunds and one very independent senior cat. Managing a pack of small dogs means I am well-versed in the unique quirks (and big personalities) of smaller breeds, while my senior kitty ensures I know exactly how to respect a cat's boundaries and keep them feeling safe and pampered. Whether your pet is a big bundle of energy or a gentle soul who just wants to snooze on the sofa, I have the lifetime of experience needed to make them feel safe and comfortable. As a self-employed individual who works entirely remotely, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine! Because my office is just my laptop, I am incredibly flexible with my days and times. For house sitting bookings, I can easily set up my workspace right from your home, meaning your pets will have consistent companionship, toilet breaks, and attention throughout the day rather than being left alone for long stretches. For drop-ins, my schedule allows me to easily step away to check on your pets exactly when they need me. As long as we coordinate with enough advance notice to plan my week, I can easily accommodate your pet's specific routine. Because I provide care exclusively in the pet owner's home, safety and trust are my absolute top priorities. I treat every home I visit with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, secure, and locked up tight. When it comes to your pets, my years of experience have made me highly proactive about safety: Double checking doors & gates: As a Dachshund owner, I know how sneaky small dogs can be and how quickly they can slip through an open door or a loose fence. I am incredibly vigilant about securing entryways and gates before letting any pet out. Routine & health monitoring: Caring for a 17y/o senior cat means I am highly observant. I carefully monitor food and water intake, bathroom habits, and overall body language to catch any subtle signs of stress or discomfort early. Medication & safety protocols: I follow all medication and feeding instructions to the letter, ensuring schedules are strictly maintained. Emergency preparedness: Before you leave, I always make sure we have a clear plan in place, including your preferred vet's information, emergency contacts, and your pet’s favourite hiding spots. I also love sending regular photo and text updates so you can see firsthand that your pets are safe, relaxed, and happy in their own environment!
“Cora took care of the morning walks for our enthusiastic collie for a couple of weeks while we were recovering from covid, and was punctual, communicative and friendly; plus Rylan loved every minute of it. Recommended wholeheartedly.”
About: I've owned dogs my whole life (34years) I also regularly work my own gundogs. I enjoy meeting different breeds, and have a keen interest in their wellbeing. I drop my 2 daughters off at school, ensure all chores at home are done and I then have free time to walk other dogs I am very considerate and thoughtful of other people's pets and routines and will always go my best to follow instructions to ensure maximum satisfaction for all involved.

“Nadia has been walking Kobi for about month She has been really patient and understanding with all our needs. As a rescue Kobi comes with some sensitivities and reactions. Nadia has been kind and gentle with him. She is quick to respond to messages and reliable. She has helped us out at short notice and has a good understanding of dog behaviour and is willing to accommodate Kobis needs which is a lovely quality that we really appreciate. Kobis much more than 'just a dog' to us and she's been sensitive reassuring and non judgemental . Thankyou Nadia. So glad we found you”
“Communication was amazing throughout and Loreta was very thoughtful about the hot conditions, amending what was possible given the heat. I would have no hesitation in recommending Loreta and hopefully Kenny will see her again soon!”
“Alice was amazing with our dog. She took him on a walk whilst we got married in the Oxford Registry Office and was so flexible, understanding and forgiving when we went over the time. Super reliable and kind, we would highly recommend!”
About: I have experience with dogs and cats. I’ve always had pets growing up and have always absolutely loved all animals. I love enriching pets lives by creating new games and toys to ensure they are not bored! I have all week free due to not currently working due to the SAG strikes!

About: Animal lover, dog mum and professional treat giver! I’ve always had a huge soft spot for animals and love getting to know every pet’s individual personality, whether they’re a cuddly sofa potato, an energetic adventurer or a little bit of a diva. 😂 I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, with plenty of cuddles, playtime, attention and, of course, the occasional well earned treat! 🦴 I’m reliable, caring and happy to keep you updated with photos and little adventures while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is having a lovely time too. 🐾❤️ I’ve been around dogs since I was born, varying from different sizes, from German Shepards to Jack Russels. I love animals with my entire heart. My husband has also had the same upbringing, mostly training and having Great Dane’s. We now have our own little 2 year old Jack Russell dog who we love so much. If your dog stays with us, they’ll have the most fun playing in our big garden and cuddling on the sofa. We are very knowledgeable with what dogs need, so let us know any requirements and we’ll be happy to implement them. I work from home so I’ll be with your baby all day. I work full time from home, I wake up early for walkies (with lots of treats) then home for food and cuddles, I’m around all day for play time and the garden is always accessible for them. Dogs are apart of the family so If owners are okay with it, they’re allowed on all the furniture and on the bed, if they’re crate trained, we’re happy for them to sleep there I have a fenced, secure garden with a super friendly and sweet lively Jack Russell. The dogs will never be left alone and walks are always in safe secure areas.
About: I've grown up with cats and dogs at home and I've taken care of pets for friends and family over the years. I love being around them, caring for them and giving them love. I have a miniature daschund myself and he's the sweetest boy. I'd have more pets in a heartbeat if I could. I'd love to take care of your furbabies. It would be my pleasure. I work full time Mon-Fri but there's a lot of flexibility with my job. I can pop out and pop in as needed so caring for your pet is no problem at all. I will follow all your instructions when caring for your pet in your home. You will have daily updates (if preferred) so you can rest assured that all is well with your pets throughout my time with them.
About: I have experience taking care of dogs and cats, as well as smaller animals. I am quite cleanliness focused and like to form connections with the animals when I can. I have a free schedule at the moment. I go out occasionally on walks or if there are local events, but I try to fit this around the needs of pets. I will follow the instructions set out by you - the owner - I try to form a bond with each animal that I take care of
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.

I’ll treat your furry friend like my own, making sure they’re happy, well-fed, and getting plenty of playtime and snuggles. You can relax knowing your pup’s in good hands—and probably having just as much fun as you are! I work from home so available all day for your dog, ready for lots walkies and play time. I also have a little schnauzer who loves to play and meet new doggies Completely enosed garden, lots of walkies in the area that I will take your dog to. Our house is a 3 story house so lots of places to run around as well.
About: I've had dogs as a child as part of the family and known how important they are to their owner. More recently I have cats (3) and whilst living in Jordan I fostered several cats and found them homes. I'm used to large dogs, elderly dogs and excited puppies and thoroughly enjoy walking them and keeping them company. If you need someone to pop in and check on your furfamily during the day whilst you're away, stay the night or walk them I can help. I'm a teacher so have half terms free for when you may sant to get away. I don't have children so not dictated by this factor either. I'm not offering board at my home. However I will follow whatever instructions you leave since it will be different for each furfamily. Happy to clear litter trays, play with your pets for mental stimulation or take for walks.
About: I have lots of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including looking after dogs as part of my nannying roles. This has involved feeding, walking, playing with and keeping dogs company, as well as following their individual routines and needs. I also have my own cockapoo, Poppy (5), who I regularly care for at home. She's very much a velcro dog and would love to have cuddles all day! I'm super sporty though, so would also love a more energetic dog to do long walks and adventures with! I'm responsible, reliable and very attentive to animals' needs. As I'm currently at university, Poppy doesn't live with me, meaning your dog would be the only dog in my home! I have a lovely garden, huge living area and my own car, so I can easily accommodate walks and plenty of outdoor time! I'd love to give your dog a safe, happy and loving home-from-home! 🐾 Pet care fits really easily around my routine! I’m a university student, with my lectures primarily in the mornings, but they’re all available online, meaning I can work from home and your pup won’t be left alone while I’m studying. Alongside university, I work at a pub and do babysitting, both of which are very flexible. Unless I already have another commitment booked, I’m usually completely free and can be flexible around your dog’s routine and needs. I’d always recommend messaging in advance where possible, but I’m also very happy to consider last-minute requests and will do my best to make it work! 🐾 In my home 🏡🐾 I have a fully secure, mid-sized back garden and would love to take your dog on plenty of walks. For longer stays, I’d even be happy to drive to a lovely country park for a change of scenery and an extra adventure! Unless your dog is crate trained and prefers their own space, I’m more than happy for them to sleep in my room, whether that’s on their own bed on the floor or even on my bed if that’s what they’re used to. I want them to feel as comfortable and at home as possible! In your home 🏠 I have lots of experience working in other people’s homes through nannying, so I’m very comfortable adapting to your home and your dog’s usual routine. I’ll follow any instructions you leave carefully, make sure your dog’s routine is maintained and ensure your home is left clean, tidy and secure. Ultimately, I’ll treat your home and your dog with the same care and respect I would my own! 🐶

“I was super scared to leave my rescued—super reactive— dog with anyone. I had never, in fact. The meet and greet with Amanda was amazing. From minute one, my dog felt at ease. After that, it was no difficult for me to leave them alone foe the day. Amanda sent me comments, pics and even videos to keep my peace of mind. My dog was sleeping with her on the sofa, not a worry in the world. The whole process has been easy and smooth. I will definitely book with her again. Thanks so much, Amanda.”
“Brody clearly had a great time with Lisa. We got some lovely updates to see how he was getting on. He’s very much looking forward to returning and we’re glad we have found someone we feel very happy leaving him with 🥰”
About: I am a well experience dog boarder who has been trusted to care for dogs from a young age. Now living with my partner at RAF Benson, we have acquired our dog boarding license and made our home as perfect as possible for dogs of all kinds. They will have daily exercise at local dog fields in the surrounding area, get lots of treats and attention, whilst your kept well informed with everything going on to make your time away as stress free as possible! I’m a full-time dog boarder offering 24/7 care. Your dog will join our daily group walks at a private, secure dog field, once or twice a day depending on their routine and your preference, so zero recall isn’t an issue. Back at home, they can enjoy plenty of cuddles on the sofa or relax in one of our many comfy dog beds. We’ll keep their feeding routine exactly as it is at home, and at bedtime they can sleep wherever they’re happiest in one of our crates, on a dog bed or even on the bed! You’ll also receive regular photos and updates throughout their stay, so you can relax knowing they’re happy, settled and well cared for. Safety is at the heart of everything we do. Lauren is trained in Pet First Aid and Pet CPR, and we have comprehensive safety measures and procedures in place, including: •Dedicated dog and human first-aid kits • Fire extinguishers and fire blankets throughout the home • Safety latches and secure locks on doors and windows. • A coded deadbolt on the porch door • A fully enclosed 6-foot secure garden •Pet-safe cleaning products and strict hygiene procedures • Detailed procedures to follow for safety, emergencies, cleaning, feeding and the care of every dog We don’t just meet the expected standard of care, we aim to go above and beyond it. Every detail has been carefully considered to make sure your dog is safe, comfortable and well cared for throughout their stay. And most importantly, this is our home, not a kennel. Your dog becomes part of our household from the moment they arrive, receiving the same love, attention and care we give our own dogs. ❤️
“We needed someone to look after Pablo 'last minute' and Jing was quick to respond and really helped us out. Lots of updates while we were away and Pablo was well looked after and clearly enjoyed himself 🙂”
“Luciane provided a convenient reliable boarding service. I enjoyed seeing the WhatsApp vids of my dog Pepper on her walkies each day. Luciane caters for lots of dogs at one time so they are exposed to a lot of socialising.”
“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 !”
“Claire and her family (and gentle dog Coco) looked after our springerpoo Tara for 10 days this summer. Tara can be a bit anxious when staying somewhere new, but we felt very comfortable leaving her with them - and were sent regular updates and photos throughout, assuring us that she was having the best time. Claire is warm and friendly, and obviously loves dogs - and I can thoroughly recommend her.”
“Betsy was in good hands with Silma and her family. They were patient and understanding and Betsy seemed happy and at ease! Communication was great. I wouldn't hesitate to leave her with Silma again.”
“Leo really had the best time with Amanda and Jeremy and Bailey the sweetest spaniel. They took the time to make sure Leo would be comfortable with them and Bailey and It really felt like nothing was too much trouble. We got lots of photos during his stay. Now when my husband walks past their house Leo literally tries to drag him in. We would 1000% recommend them.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little. I now have my own dog Badger who is a 14 months old and super friendly with all dogs and children. I run hockey afterschool care clubs only three hours a week, so I am at home almost all the time, living in the countryside dedicating all my time to my dogs. I have a first class degree in education and am about to start my masters degree at Oxford University which will be one evening per week. So I have a lot of time to dedicate to doggy day care, walking and house sitting etc. Badger loves having friends to play with or snooze next too!
“Eevee had a fantastic stay with Emma! Our 4.5month old Vizsla puppy, Eevee had her first night away from us as a trial stay with Emma. Understandably we were nervous but Emma really eased our apprehension, giving us regular updates throughout the day and plenty of pictures & videos of Eevee having just the best time! She clearly loved playing (or maybe just bothering haha) Archie and Pippa and Emma really took special care to ensure Eevee’s usual schedule was kept to and met all her high-maintenance puppy needs. We feel safe in the knowledge that when Eevee next stays with Emma, for our 5day holiday, she will not only be safe and well looked after, but she will be happy to be there with Emma, Archie & Pippa 🥰”
“Can massively recommend Sophie and Ash! Our dog Poppy had a brilliant time, was really well looked after and came back worn out (in a good way!). Sophie was fantastic at keeping in touch and sending regular updates and photos which we really appreciated.”
“Marta was fantastic with our Gu at such short notice. She treated him like one of her own and appreciated him like we do. Sent regular photos of how he was doing and took him out 3 times a day whilst working from home, so a perfect sitter. Would highly recommend and will happily rebook in the future.”
About: Animal lover, dog mum and professional treat giver! I’ve always had a huge soft spot for animals and love getting to know every pet’s individual personality, whether they’re a cuddly sofa potato, an energetic adventurer or a little bit of a diva. 😂 I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, with plenty of cuddles, playtime, attention and, of course, the occasional well earned treat! 🦴 I’m reliable, caring and happy to keep you updated with photos and little adventures while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is having a lovely time too. 🐾❤️ I’ve been around dogs since I was born, varying from different sizes, from German Shepards to Jack Russels. I love animals with my entire heart. My husband has also had the same upbringing, mostly training and having Great Dane’s. We now have our own little 2 year old Jack Russell dog who we love so much. If your dog stays with us, they’ll have the most fun playing in our big garden and cuddling on the sofa. We are very knowledgeable with what dogs need, so let us know any requirements and we’ll be happy to implement them. I work from home so I’ll be with your baby all day. I work full time from home, I wake up early for walkies (with lots of treats) then home for food and cuddles, I’m around all day for play time and the garden is always accessible for them. Dogs are apart of the family so If owners are okay with it, they’re allowed on all the furniture and on the bed, if they’re crate trained, we’re happy for them to sleep there I have a fenced, secure garden with a super friendly and sweet lively Jack Russell. The dogs will never be left alone and walks are always in safe secure areas.
“Vicky is amazing 😻 my dog doesn’t like to stay without me, I so have been worried about it. But Vicky has found a special way to get friends with her. Everything was excellent, Vicky always sent me photos from every walk. And when my dog came back home I saw that she missed Vicky and her family 😌 Vicky, thanks a lot for your help. I highly recommend Vicky as an excellent care for your small friend 😊”
“Ruby had a fantastic time staying with Deanne, she was absolutely shattered when she got home! The communication and regular photos were brilliant so we knew she was happy and settled. We will definitely be booking again! Thank you so much.”
About: I’ve volunteered at a local dog walking centre for around 12 years now, I have a huge passion for dogs and cats and have had several cats over the past 8 years. I love the warmth and unconditional love that you get from both dogs and cats and want to share my passion whilst helping others at the same time! ☺️ I work currently Mon-Fri 9-6 but I am flexible on weekends for regular boarding or overnight boarding, both myself and my girlfriend are active and can go on long walks, with local parks and plenty of green space to explore as well if needed. I do have a garden here as well as a spacious home for any pet to explore as well as lots of local green space to walk and explore in
“Sophie and her partner Tom were fantastic with my fur baby Aliyah! She was so happy in their lovely relaxed home. They gave her lots of cuddles, play time and best of all they loved having her there. Thank you for taking such good care of her!”
“My dog stayed with Simon and his family overnight and I have to say it was excellent. Teddy felt welcomed, loved and well looked after. I am so happy to find Simon, highly recommended.”
