“Woody had a wonderful week with Darren. Darren sent regular updates which was really appreciated and Woody (who can be quite anxious) seemed to settle in so well. Would definitely recommend! Thanks 🐾”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, from rabbits and guinea pigs to parrots, cats, dogs, and horses. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. For 17 years, I was lucky enough to have grown up with three Pomeranians who were my little companions. I miss them every day! Because I travel for work, I’m not quite ready to have a dog of my own right now, but I still really miss having that special animal companionship in my life. I’m very experienced with the day-to-day care, routines, and companionship dogs need. I’ve also regularly house-sat for friends’ dogs, caring for them in my home and making sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well looked after. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping to each dog’s individual routine. Rover gives me the chance to enjoy all the cuddles, walks, playtime, and personality that comes with having a dog around, while giving you peace of mind that your pet is being cared for by someone who truly loves animals. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own — with patience, affection, and plenty of attention. ❤️ I travel for work seasonally so when I’m not working I have so much time to care for your dog! Can be available sometimes for days/weeks! I have a 4 bedroom home with a fenced garden. Loads of space for your dog to roam and get fresh air, and equally as secure and safe! I go for walks multiple times a day so they’ll be active and entertained!
“Romina was amazing! If I could put more than 5 stars I would. Romina was so flexible with me with the dates and times as I was due to move and needed someone to look after my German Shepherd. My dog is nervous due to being a rescue and usually takes a while to warm up to someone but as soon as Romina welcomed us into their home, it was like she had been there already! Drop off was a smooth process although my dog knew I was leaving this time so got a bit anxious, but within 30mins I got a message and photo showing me how at ease and happy she was. Romina kept me updated with messages and photos during the duration which kept my mind at ease. Could not have wished for a better dog sitter for my Luna! All positives so thank you Romina!”
“Flora is highly professional and very caring. I felt very confident leaving our dog with Flora and the family. Flora kept us updated with photos according to our preferences and Jasper was obviously relaxed and happy in the household.”
“Kate and her partner were very accommodating for Marley and our request. Marley was well looked after and came home very worn out. Kate and her partner sent regular updates and made so much effort with Marley getting him toys and printing his picture for us to take home. Marley can’t wait for another holiday with you both xx”
“Sean & Jacy are brilliant! They looked after our two dogs while we went away, and they took such great care of them. It enabled me to enjoy the break because I knew they were in caring hands. They kept me updated with photos and messages to reassure they were happy and settled, and when we picked them up they looked like they had made themselves right at home there. We will definitely be asking if my pups can stay again for any future time away. Thank you both!”
“Yevgeniia took great care of Toby and was supportive with his needs and made him feel relaxed and settled whilst we were at work. With a lot of knowledge of dog behaviours, I would feel confident in Toby staying again and would recommend. Thank you for your support :)”
About: I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog with someone else, so my priority is always to make them feel settled, loved and completely at home while they’re with me ❤️ I don’t currently have pets of my own as I love travelling and exploring when I get the chance, but I love looking after friends/families doggos as I miss having one around! I work from home so I’m always around for plenty of company, attention and toilet breaks throughout the day. The dogs will be walked twice a day, and I live close to the countryside with plenty of lovely walking routes nearby. The garden is also fenced and secure and available whenever they need! I usually start and end the day with a walk at my local country park or along nearby countryside routes. I then work from home so am always around for company, toilet breaks and anything else needed. At weekends I love getting outdoors, exploring new places and going for walks. If your doggo enjoys car journeys, cafés, pubs or little adventures, I’d be very happy to include them, while always adapting plans to what they’re comfortable with and used to! I live in a 3 bed home over two floors with a fully fenced back garden, so there’s plenty of room for a dog to make themselves at home. The dogs can sleep upstairs in their own beds or I can make the spare room cosy for them. There are a few basics here like food, treats etc. but I’ll always stick to the routine/diet you specify. More than anything, I want them to feel relaxed, included and treated as part of the household while they’re here!
“We were worried about leaving Henley, but could see by the photos and updates that he was having a good time. He is quite a sensitive boy, he soon relaxed with Chris and Caroline, he even slept on their bed. We will definitely ask them to have him again.”
“Really lovely experience using Rover for the first time. From meeting Saadia, she was so lovely and instantly put me at ease. I was quite anxious about leaving Oscar for the first time, but Saadia kept me updated with photos and a video, which was so reassuring and made me feel much happier knowing he was settled and being well looked after. Couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. Would definitely recommend and will 100% be using again! ❤️”
“Claire was a lovely pet sitter. She sent pictures of Cookie to us regularly to let us know that she’d settled in well and it was clear that she welcomed cookie as part of her family. I’d love to use her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs from a very young age. My family and I rescue dogs and cats. I’m caring, reliable, and genuinely passionate about making dogs feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I take the time to understand each dog’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I’m happy to care for puppies, energetic dogs, and senior pets, including keeping to feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines. I’m also patient with young dogs who are still learning basic manners and training. Above all, I treat every dog as if they were my own and keep owners updated so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. I will be the only one caring for any dogs while in my care. As I’m currently not working, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. This means I can be available for walks, visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also able to be flexible around your dog’s usual routine and give them the attention and care they need. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm and secure environment. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I’m respectful of your home and your instructions, and I take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs and personality. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would give my own.

“Lucy & Chris are the best dog sitters. Initial communication was great and they were happy to come out to do a meet and great with our dogs beforehand. During their stay we were kept updated with pics and messages. Would highly recommend. Stanley & Pumpkin will definitely be returning.”
“Charlie and Cooper stayed with Callum for a long weekend and from the initial meeting I had no concerns. My dogs have been thoroughly spoilt whilst we’ve been away and know they have been cared for, I have regular updates, photos and videos and response times to any comms has been immediate. Will absolutely ask Callum to look after them the next time we go away!”

About: I’ve helped neighbours and friends care for their cats through drop-in visits and daily check-ins. I’m comfortable feeding cats, cleaning litter boxes, refreshing water, and spending time playing with them to help them feel comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away. I understand that every cat has a different personality, so I always try to be patient, gentle, and respectful of their space. While I’m still growing my experience with advanced care, I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to follow detailed care instructions.

Charlie liked Pilar immediately and we rested assured he was safe and taken care of in her hands. We recently moved to the area and Charlie is recovering from a surgery so Pilar was cat stting for us for the first time and we were a bit nervous, but it went great and we will definitely call upon Pilar in the future.”

“Romina is a warm hearted lovely person, and Milo took to her immediately. I have never seen him settle down and run around and play, as quickly as he did with her. Of course, I can't not mention the awesome Buddy, who Milo also took to almost immediately, and before you knew they were running around like old friends. I will always want Romina to have Milo if I go away, and I would check dates with her before booking time away, as I would book them around her availability. I'd say staying there was even better than being with me for Milo, as he had a friend to zoom around with, and Romina was a very safe pair of hands to leave him in ♡♡♡”
“Thank you Kate for letting Cleo stay with you she was so happy to be with you she had a lovely day playing with Winston and then chilling with snuggles on your sofa and the updates are amazing and comforting to a worried fur baby momma x apparently cleo would like to come and stay again soon please 🐾🐾🐾”

About: I grew up in a busy household with a Border Collie mix and a Jack Russell, so I’m no stranger to high energy and big personalities! Today, I’m a proud 'sausage mum' to two miniature (well, 'in betweenie' size) dachshunds. I offer dedicated drop-in visits and walks throughout Swale, tailored entirely to your routine. Living in Swale with a flexible work from home schedule means I am available throughout the day and evening to give your dog the attention they deserve - I also drive so distance is not a problem!

I prioritise safety above all else; For your peace of mind, all walks are conducted strictly on lead and are exclusive to your household, ensuring my full focus is always on your best friend. Because I and my partner work from home, my schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to be there for your dog exactly when they need me. Whether it’s a mid-morning stretch, a lunch break stroll, or an evening check-in, I can easily work around your routin - I am available throughout the day and into the evening across Swale and the surrounding areas as I have my own car. My priority is providing consistent, reliable care so you can go about your day knowing your pup isn’t waiting by the door alone. Safety is at the heart of every visit. Growing up with high-energy breeds like Border Collies and Jack Russells taught me the importance of vigilance and control. For your peace of mind, all walks are conducted strictly on-lead and are exclusive to your household; I don’t do 'pack walks,' so your dog has my undivided attention. Whether I'm visiting your home for a drop-in or exploring the local area, I adapt to your dog’s specific temperament and triggers. I treat every dog with the same care and caution I give my own two dachshunds, ensuring they return home happy, tired, and safe.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, from rabbits and guinea pigs to parrots, cats, dogs, and horses. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. For 17 years, I was lucky enough to have grown up with three Pomeranians who were my little companions. I miss them every day! Because I travel for work, I’m not quite ready to have a dog of my own right now, but I still really miss having that special animal companionship in my life. I’m very experienced with the day-to-day care, routines, and companionship dogs need. I’ve also regularly house-sat for friends’ dogs, caring for them in my home and making sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well looked after. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping to each dog’s individual routine. Rover gives me the chance to enjoy all the cuddles, walks, playtime, and personality that comes with having a dog around, while giving you peace of mind that your pet is being cared for by someone who truly loves animals. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own — with patience, affection, and plenty of attention. ❤️ I travel for work seasonally so when I’m not working I have so much time to care for your dog! Can be available sometimes for days/weeks! I have a 4 bedroom home with a fenced garden. Loads of space for your dog to roam and get fresh air, and equally as secure and safe! I go for walks multiple times a day so they’ll be active and entertained!
“Romina was amazing! If I could put more than 5 stars I would. Romina was so flexible with me with the dates and times as I was due to move and needed someone to look after my German Shepherd. My dog is nervous due to being a rescue and usually takes a while to warm up to someone but as soon as Romina welcomed us into their home, it was like she had been there already! Drop off was a smooth process although my dog knew I was leaving this time so got a bit anxious, but within 30mins I got a message and photo showing me how at ease and happy she was. Romina kept me updated with messages and photos during the duration which kept my mind at ease. Could not have wished for a better dog sitter for my Luna! All positives so thank you Romina!”
“Flora is highly professional and very caring. I felt very confident leaving our dog with Flora and the family. Flora kept us updated with photos according to our preferences and Jasper was obviously relaxed and happy in the household.”
“Kate and her partner were very accommodating for Marley and our request. Marley was well looked after and came home very worn out. Kate and her partner sent regular updates and made so much effort with Marley getting him toys and printing his picture for us to take home. Marley can’t wait for another holiday with you both xx”
“Sean & Jacy are brilliant! They looked after our two dogs while we went away, and they took such great care of them. It enabled me to enjoy the break because I knew they were in caring hands. They kept me updated with photos and messages to reassure they were happy and settled, and when we picked them up they looked like they had made themselves right at home there. We will definitely be asking if my pups can stay again for any future time away. Thank you both!”
“Yevgeniia took great care of Toby and was supportive with his needs and made him feel relaxed and settled whilst we were at work. With a lot of knowledge of dog behaviours, I would feel confident in Toby staying again and would recommend. Thank you for your support :)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs from a very young age. My family and I rescue dogs and cats. I’m caring, reliable, and genuinely passionate about making dogs feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I take the time to understand each dog’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I’m happy to care for puppies, energetic dogs, and senior pets, including keeping to feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines. I’m also patient with young dogs who are still learning basic manners and training. Above all, I treat every dog as if they were my own and keep owners updated so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. I will be the only one caring for any dogs while in my care.

Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would give my own.
“Charlie and Cooper stayed with Callum for a long weekend and from the initial meeting I had no concerns. My dogs have been thoroughly spoilt whilst we’ve been away and know they have been cared for, I have regular updates, photos and videos and response times to any comms has been immediate. Will absolutely ask Callum to look after them the next time we go away!”
“Emily was just so friendly, kind and flexible, with such short notice she had Tilly overnight. Emily was so gentle with Tilly. Emily gave me updates and all was well. When I picked Tilly up she was all ready to go and I think Emily waa a little sad to see her go, we will definitely be using Emily again. Tilly certainly had a fab time.”
