“Jade looked after my dog for the first time last night. Our dog has separation anxiety and needs a sitter who can give him lots of attention, so he doesn't feel alone. Jade looked after him wonderfully, updating me frequently with photos. I wouldn't hesitate to book Jade again.”
“I am so pleased to have found Lauren to look after my dog Minnie. Lauren and her partner Dave have been wonderful in caring for Minnie while I have had to travel. Lauren has cared for Minnie for a single day visit, an overnight stay and for a week when I had to visit the US. Lauren and Dave are both very caring and I feel very confident that she is getting the best care possible. Lauren sends me regular update photos which ofcourse I love to see.”
“What a brilliant experience we had with Eleanor and Raymond. This was the first time we have left our very high energy, crazy Labrador over night and he absolutely loved it. Both Eleanor and Raymond were so good with him. They took time to understand his needs and make it the most positive experience. Nothing seemed to faze them and it's very easy to see how much they love having dogs around. We feel incredibly lucky to have found them and Rosso is looking forward to more adventures with them.”
“Louise was a fantastic dog sitter for Ruby!! Would highly recommend to anyone, she sent regular photos and updates of how Ruby was getting on. Lots of walks and snuggles which is ruby’s favorite thing. Louise was super easy to communicate with and always responded quickly. Thanks so much Louise for looking after Ruby and giving her the best holiday!”
“A brilliant stay for Rowly with Sandra and family and of course Charlie a fantastic, kind and calm dog. Sandra kept us informed with pictures which was so comforting for us all. The house, garden and environment was safe and beautiful.”
“Fiona and her family are just the most amazing sitters…I could not recommend more highly!! Barney was so well looked after and I really hope they would have Barney again as I trust them implicitly xxx”
“Our dog went to stay at Murali’s house for a long weekend and had the best time. She loved playing with other dogs in the large garden and interacting with other dogs and people. We received regular updates about our dog and felt that she was in very good, caring hands. We will definitely be using Murali’s services again 😊”
“It was our first time using the Rover app and we couldn’t have been luckier with picking Carly to look after our puppy! She was wonderful from start to finish! Our dog has just returned from his holiday with Carly and cried at the door for her when she left! Thank you for making the process of leaving him overnight for the first time so easy and being so thoughtful and kind with all your communication! We will 100 per cent be using you again!”
“William & Eddie were superb with our Eng Bull Terrier Frank, for two weeks. Sent regular updates and pics..... Frank loved Taco the Alsation!! Will be using these guys again without hesitation! Mark (Wherwell)”

“Jo was really great, would highly recommend and ask her to look after Carlos again. You can tell she really cared and went the extra mile to make sure he settled in well and got on with her two lovely dogs! This makes it really reassuring when I haven’t left him much before and also loads of pictures to keep me updated!!”
“Teddy was a very happy and tired boy when picked up from Shelley’s place. Was very responsive with messages and got regular updates throughout the day. Would love for Shelley to look after Teddy again!”
“David was brilliant. He is a real natural with dogs. Juno was very happy with him, he followed her routines and he kept me well informed. I highly recommend him and will definitely use him again.”
About: I’ve been walking dogs since I was 14, starting by helping an elderly lady with her dogs. That experience taught me how important patience, reliability, and understanding each dog’s individual needs are. I also have my own Pomeranians, so I’m used to caring for high maintenance breeds that require plenty of attention and exercise. (My dogs will not be there whilst looking after yours) Looking after my own dogs has given me hands on experience with different personalities, routines, and care requirements. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether it’s a relaxed stroll, an energetic walk, or simply providing lots of love and attention, I’m committed to giving every pet the best possible care. As a teacher, I’m available to walk dogs on weekends throughout the year. During school holidays and half terms, which are frequent, I have much more flexibility and am available for dog sitting, drop in visits, and longer periods of care while you’re away. This means your pet can enjoy plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship during your holiday bookings, giving you peace of mind that they’re in safe and caring hands. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I’ve recently bought my own home, which has a secure, fully fenced garden with plenty of space for dogs to run around, play, and go to the toilet safely. Inside, my home is clean, calm, and welcoming, with plenty of room for pets to relax. During warmer weather, the house stays nice and cool, helping to keep dogs comfortable and prevent them from overheating. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention, so they feel happy and at home while they’re with me. If your pet is more comfortable in familiar surroundings, I’m also happy to pet sit in your home, ensuring they can stick to their usual routine while receiving the same loving, reliable care.
About: Ive looked after Friends and familys dogs im a full time dad and have lot of spare time and enjoy going for dog walks as im home all the time I’m a proud single dad to two wonderful girls and a loving Staffie cross, and dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve always been a true dog lover and understand how important it is to know your pet is in safe, caring hands. We love spending time outdoors, with regular walks through the local woods, along the river, and exploring the trees and countryside. Whether your dog enjoys long adventures or a more relaxed stroll, I’ll make sure they get the exercise and attention they need. I offer a genuine home-from-home experience, where your dog will be treated like one of the family. I’ll follow their usual daily routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of cuddles and companionship, helping them feel comfortable, happy, and settled while you’re away. I have a fenced back garden but like to take the dogs for regualar walks and can be crated if you choose too i try to offer a home to home expierience
“Amber settled really well with Chloe. It was home from home. Chloe’s young family adored her and Amber was her usual laid back self. Would highly recommend Chloe and not hesitate to use again.”
“Matt & Teddy were wonderful companions for Atti. Matt went above and beyond to keep in touch with us and was eager to know Atti’s preferences. Matt’s love of dogs (& perhaps particularly Golden Retrievers!) shone through. Atti came home calm & happy.”

“Great cat sitter who lovingly looks after my 2 girls. The web site is not so great, found it impossible to reply to Gabrielle’s question. Unable to leave a 5 Star rating that Gabrielle deserves. Using iPhone 17.”
“Elizabeth was wonderful with Bear. She was so easy to communicate with and kept me updated, which meant a lot. Knowing he was being cared for so well made the whole experience stress-free. I’d definitely recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“What an absolute legend. Jade accommodated my request for a last minute booking and I’m so grateful. Jade is extremely tidy and followed a detailed meds plan with ease. The cats (Gertrude & Freya) both want to thank Jade too for being kind and gentle and looking after them whilst I was away on business. Don’t scroll by…..book Jade and know your animals are in safe hands.”
“Georgia-Mary was an amazing sitter for our sweet cat, Jinx! She was conscientious, thoughtful and made sure Jinx had everything she needed while we were away. She made sure she understood all feeding and care details and Jinx was calm and content when we came home. We felt completely comfortable leaving keys for her despite never meeting in person and would happily have her cat sit for us again. ☺️”

“Could not ask for a better cat sitter. Emily was amazing throughout, from our first visit to the last, she gave regular descriptive updates with photos, not just feeding and ditching but staying sometimes beyond allotted times to play and make sure our cats were well looked after. She had to deal with our ragdoll being sick often and I am grateful that not only did she do this without complaint but we came back to two very happy, soft (thanks for brushing so often) cats and a very tidy flat with no sign of the sick I can’t thank you enough for that!! Will 100% book again, couldn’t recommend higher thank you 🙏”
About: Hi everyone! As someone who has grown up with cats my entire life, and always worried about leaving my precious fur babies in someone else’s care, I completely understand the questions, concerns, and anxieties that come with choosing a cat sitter. Your cats are family, and finding someone you can trust is so important. Below are some of the questions I get asked most often. If there’s anything else you’d like to know, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. No question is too small! Do you have experience looking after cats? Absolutely! I have grown up with cats all my life so I am not stranger to their needs and I am currently a proud cat dad to a gorgeous girl: Doris, my beautiful tortoiseshell domestic shorthair (although I mostly call her “Tidley” because she’s such a tiny kitty!). While I love being an uncle to my nieces and nephews, I’ll admit it… I’m a cat dad through and through! Caring for cats isn’t just something I do, it’s something I genuinely love.
“Jasmine has been amazing in taking care of my very timid cat. I was nervous about leaving him with someone new, but she took wonderful care of him. To my surprise, he warmed up to her to even allow pets and was purring a lot during their interactions, which says everything about how comfortable he felt. All of his daily needs were taken care of exactly as requested, and he looked far less stressed than I had expected. She also respected all my preferences regarding how the house should be left after each visit, which I really appreciated. Overall, I’m extremely happy with the care and attention my cat received. Highly recommended!”
“Bethany was wonderful with my pet! She always took care of Elvie in the best possible way and made sure everything was handled with care and attention. It was clear that she genuinely cared and treated Elvie like her own. I highly recommend Bethany to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I will definitely continue to contact her whenever I need someone to look after Elvie! ☺️”
“Excellent care and attention was paid to my 3 diverse cats. Cannot fault Alexandra B,s communication to me on their interaction with her. Would opt for her at any point in the future. 👍”
About: offer dependable, stress-free cat care and transport services using my own secure car. Because cats prefer their own environment, I specialise in drop-in visits to handle feeding, litter box cleaning, and playtime while you are away. I am very patient with shy or anxious felines and can safely transport them to evening vet or grooming appointments in secure carriers.
“Aliya & Amir did an amazing job looking after our home, cats, garden birds and rabbit! We were in constant communication and the updates were so much appreciated as we left behind two sensitive cats who were cared for with much love and attention. Our home was left spotlessly clean and we knew were were in good hands, it was so great to relax whilst we were away. We would not hesitate to recommend them both and look forward to booking them again.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Louise and her family’s care for our dog. Throughout the sitting, Louise was professional, punctual, and incredibly attentive. She sent regular updates, including photos and messages that showed just how much attention and love they were giving. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands. Thank you!”

About: We (my husband James and I) can offer a truly home from home experience and host solo dogs if preferred as we no longer have our own pets. We are huge dog lovers and have owned dogs since 2010 but our last one passed in Autumn 25. We love having dog guests to stay and they are treated like a part of the family. Over the past 5 years we have had repeat visits from a Rottweiler, Husky, Boxer and a pair of lovely Spaniels. Between James and I, one of us will always be able to be at home when we have a dog guest as we work flexibly. We are an active family and have countryside walks right outside our door so we are happy to take our dog guests out for fun walks in fields and forests! We have a decent sized secure garden with 6 ft wooden fences. We will happily work with dog owners to understand the routines which work for the dog to support and help them to settle with us.

“Lucho had a brill time with Babs and her pooches. Babs was great at doing a bit of leash training with our pup and he got to socialise loads with the other doggies. Great comms, great report card for Lucho from Babs with pics and videos - we knew he was in super safe hands. Will book again :) thank you babs!”
“My dog was very happy in the care of Murali and the family. They were very accommodating, kind and caring and kept me updated throughout the day. I am forever grateful for taking such good care of the pooch and will definitely be returning.”

About: Hi, I’m Liberty! Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started helping at local horse yards from the age of 12 and was dog walking and pet sitting by 18. I’ve owned dogs and horses for many years, including my two rescue Samoyeds, so I understand that every dog is different. I’m currently training towards my Level 3 City & Guilds Diploma in Dog Grooming, alongside building The Grooming Stable. My aim is to provide calm, personalised, one-to-one care where every dog is treated as if they were my own. I’m fully DBS checked, insured and canine first aid trained. Whether your dog enjoys long woodland walks, needs a slower-paced stroll, or simply benefits from familiar, consistent care, I’ll tailor every walk to suit their individual needs. I’d love to become someone both you and your dog can trust for years to come. Pet care is my priority, and I work flexibly to meet the needs of both you and your dog. I offer dog walking, puppy visits, pop ins and bespoke daycare throughout the week, with availability varying by day. Every booking is planned to ensure your dog receives plenty of time, attention and care, rather than being rushed between appointments. If you’re looking for regular ongoing support or occasional help, I’d love to chat about how I can help. Your dog’s safety, happiness and wellbeing will always come first. I’m fully DBS checked, insured and canine first aid trained. I’ll always follow your routine as closely as possible, whether that’s feeding, medication, training, enrichment or simply providing companionship. I believe in calm, positive handling and treating every dog as if they were my own. Before any regular bookings, I also offer a free meet and greet so we can get to know each other and make sure everyone feels comfortable.

About: Greetings, I’m Emily and welcome to my profile!

I’m very reliable and dependable, passionate about animals, nature, the beautiful earth we live upon and creating a more loving and peaceful experience for all beings. I have many years experience with a variety of animals of all shapes and sizes. I enjoy long and short walks of slow and fast paces as I can adjust to suit your pets needs and requirements.

I live on a rural piece of land which has plenty of space for your pets, however I always suggest your fur babies will always prefer their own home.
About: We have had animals in our past homes for 20 years me and my husband been together 22 years and also handled puppies whilst one of mine was in labour so I had a lot of experience with dogs of all different breeds.Before Dog boarding I used to look after friends and family’s dogs whilst they were away and took the leap to join officially through rover. I have a papillon now called Harvey and he likes to play has lots of fun to play with other dogs big or small , dogs seem to love coming to mine has its going from home to home without the upset or pining for there owners while they are away , they have way too much fun with toys and walks around the woods that’s backed onto me. Start the day by letting the dogs out, feeding them, and having breakfast. After that, take them for a good morning walk so they can get some exercise and explore. Once you're home, spend some time playing with them, whether it's fetch, tug, training, or games in the garden. While they rest, you can do your household jobs, relax, or enjoy a hobby. Later in the day, have lunch and enjoy some quiet time together. In the afternoon, give the dogs another play session or some enrichment, such as puzzle toys or scent games, followed by a shorter walk. In the evening, feed the dogs, have your dinner, and spend time relaxing together before taking them out for one final toilet break before bed. This keeps them active, happy, and settled throughout the day. I have quite a big garden. Patio and artificial grass which is fenced off. Very Secure Garden lots of room to play around there and squeaky toys and balls and beds to sunbathe 😜
About: I have grown up around animals and have owned a variety. I’ve had the likes of dogs, hamsters and guinea pigs just to name a few. Most recently I have owned a pug and currently live with a golden retriever. I have a lot of knowledge about flat faced breeds and know how to best care for them. Equally I have a lot of knowledge around other breeds particularly smaller ones. I have looked after friends and my families dogs when they have gone away. I have the ability to go to their houses so that their dogs stay in their own environment that’s familiar. I have also had dogs come and stay with me too. I regularly look after my friends dog when she goes to work making sure that her dog is well looked after. I have a lot of free time at the moment being in between jobs so am very flexible with my availability. I will work around what’s best for you and your pet. I will care for your pet as if it was my own. At my house dogs are allowed on the furniture and on the beds so they can have a proper cuddle. I have three beds in the house with room for their own bed if required. I have a fully enclosed garden with a 7ft fence. I also have an open field across the road and a woodlands the other side with running water. I will make sure to feed your dog as many times as needed throughout the time they are with me. There are two fresh water bowls throughout the house and one in the back garden as well so that there is always access to water. I usually keep my back door open throughout the summer time so that Olive (my friends dog) can go in and out when she pleases, as well as her swimming pool under the shade of a giant canopy. If you would like me to sit in your own home I will treat it with the upmost respect. I like to keep things clean and tidy and will leave your home as I came into it. Leave no trace.
About: Both my partner and I have owned and cared for dogs and cats since we were kids. Always dog sit for family and friends. Go for frequent walks in the countryside and have our own vehicle to transport dogs to and from walks with business insurance. I bathe and feed my mother’s dogs regularly and walk them with my partner around the fields of our home. I work full time mostly from home with the occasional in person meeting and off on weekends so am free around these times for anything needed. I am not normally gone for more than 4 hours however if it is longer my partner also sometimes works from home so with enough notice he can be there If your dog is house trained I can care for them at my home however I can also care for your loved pets in their own home and am able to collect from their home and take them for walks or drop in to feed and play with them for a few hours where needed. I am also able to stay overnight if required.
About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life ranging from terriers to huskys to border collies. I've raised and trained many puppys, kittnens, rescue dogs, rescue cats and working dogs. I also have experience with many other animals. I will always care for your pets like my own and provide them with anything they want or need. Im currently working part time (2 days a week) so i have plenty of time to look after your pet and give them all the attention and care they need. I will always keep an eye on your pets to ensure they are safe, healthy, and happy at all times. Nothing is more important then insuring they are being looked after at all times.
About: Hi I’m Mykala — a professional and friendly pet sitter and dog walker based in Eastleigh and surrounding areas. I’ve gained hands on experience through working at dog daycare, boarding and training dogs for college and volunteering at vets, which helped me build a solid understanding of dog behaviour, body language and basic obedience. I’ve just finished my 1st year veterinary nursing but am taking a break to focus on more on my business. I have experience with old, young, reactive and everything in between. As this is my full-time job. I may occasionally need to step out briefly to attend to other clients during the day. If your pet has separation anxiety or requires constant care and can’t be left alone more than a couple hours, I’m still more than happy to help, this would simply be shown in a higher price to accommodate for the additional time and attention they need. I am able to administer medication if needed, I’m currently doing my canine first aid qualification and have basic animal behaviour qualification for the animals who need extra care and support
About: Genuinely care about looking after animals and will take care of them to the best of my ability. Have a lot of fun experience caring for animals Work from home Meaning I can be very flexible with dog sitting and being able to care for your fluffy friends needs Have dealt with challenging behaviour in the past I work as a nurse and I have a full DBS check available on request alongside many references if needed for previous dog sitting that I have done
About: Growing up I had 2 Lhasa Apso’s, they were such a big part of the family. Since then, I have looked after numerous friends & family dogs when they have gone on holiday. I’m currently working part time during the week but these aren’t long days. Over the weekend during the days & evenings we are around much more. My garden is fenced and very secure. We do have a cat who doesn’t mind dogs. She is used to dogs being here so tends to keep herself to herself!

“What a brilliant experience we had with Eleanor and Raymond. This was the first time we have left our very high energy, crazy Labrador over night and he absolutely loved it. Both Eleanor and Raymond were so good with him. They took time to understand his needs and make it the most positive experience. Nothing seemed to faze them and it's very easy to see how much they love having dogs around. We feel incredibly lucky to have found them and Rosso is looking forward to more adventures with them.”
“Louise was a fantastic dog sitter for Ruby!! Would highly recommend to anyone, she sent regular photos and updates of how Ruby was getting on. Lots of walks and snuggles which is ruby’s favorite thing. Louise was super easy to communicate with and always responded quickly. Thanks so much Louise for looking after Ruby and giving her the best holiday!”
“Fiona and her family are just the most amazing sitters…I could not recommend more highly!! Barney was so well looked after and I really hope they would have Barney again as I trust them implicitly xxx”
“Our dog went to stay at Murali’s house for a long weekend and had the best time. She loved playing with other dogs in the large garden and interacting with other dogs and people. We received regular updates about our dog and felt that she was in very good, caring hands. We will definitely be using Murali’s services again 😊”
“It was our first time using the Rover app and we couldn’t have been luckier with picking Carly to look after our puppy! She was wonderful from start to finish! Our dog has just returned from his holiday with Carly and cried at the door for her when she left! Thank you for making the process of leaving him overnight for the first time so easy and being so thoughtful and kind with all your communication! We will 100 per cent be using you again!”
“William & Eddie were superb with our Eng Bull Terrier Frank, for two weeks. Sent regular updates and pics..... Frank loved Taco the Alsation!! Will be using these guys again without hesitation! Mark (Wherwell)”
“Thankyou so much for having Barney! You guys went above and beyond for his needs and were stars sending pictures & videos of him while we was on holiday. Thankyou so much (apologies it’s late life’s been so full on since being home)”
“Jo was really great, would highly recommend and ask her to look after Carlos again. You can tell she really cared and went the extra mile to make sure he settled in well and got on with her two lovely dogs! This makes it really reassuring when I haven’t left him much before and also loads of pictures to keep me updated!!”
“Teddy was a very happy and tired boy when picked up from Shelley’s place. Was very responsive with messages and got regular updates throughout the day. Would love for Shelley to look after Teddy again!”
“David was brilliant. He is a real natural with dogs. Juno was very happy with him, he followed her routines and he kept me well informed. I highly recommend him and will definitely use him again.”
“Amber settled really well with Chloe. It was home from home. Chloe’s young family adored her and Amber was her usual laid back self. Would highly recommend Chloe and not hesitate to use again.”
“Matt & Teddy were wonderful companions for Atti. Matt went above and beyond to keep in touch with us and was eager to know Atti’s preferences. Matt’s love of dogs (& perhaps particularly Golden Retrievers!) shone through. Atti came home calm & happy.”
“Shadia took my beagle boy Uno overnight and he had a brilliant time. As anyone who knows the breed will tell you, beagles aren’t the easiest! But Shadia was great with him, regularly sending pictures and giving me updates on how he was getting on. Uno also got on brilliantly with Shadia’s retriever, Skye (who is absolutely lovely) and they clearly played endlessly. He came home the next day and went straight into nap mode! Can thoroughly recommend Shadia and will use her services again in future. 😊”
“Chloe had been a super star: went above and beyond for us when we got stuck abroad and couldn’t do enough to support and help. Bootsy came home honestly looking better than when he left. We can’t thank Chloe and her family enough for looking after Bootsy and putting so much in. Thank u Chloe!!”
“Mabel recently stayed with Joanne and her family. I sent her packing (a little nervous due to it being my first rover) and with a million warnings about what she MIGHT do! 🤣 Turns out Mabel was an absolute dream so they must have been brilliant at looking after her. I had regular updates and pictures. Timings were sorted out easily and we kept in touch via Whatsapp. Joanne has a really secure garden - which made me feel so much more comfortable leaving her there. It felt like a home from home setting. I have two children of my own and Joanne's two seemed to love her as much as her own. They were super excited to have her. She was allowed upstairs and just slipped into their family life. She had plenty of walks and was fed well. I wouldn't hesitate at using Jo again! Thanks guys! 🐾🐾”
“Ellie is so lovely and an amazing dog sitter — caring, reliable, and clearly loves animals. Our dog was so happy and well looked after, and the updates gave us real peace of mind. Would highly recommend!”
About: I offer a safe, reliable pet transport and care service using my own secure car. Because I work from home most of the time, I am perfect for busy owners who need help getting their pets to late vet appointments, grooming sessions, or evening feeding visits. I treat every animal with total patience and care. My schedule is highly flexible during the week, which is exactly when many pet owners are busy or at work. I can easily accommodate late-day pet transport, emergency vet runs, grooming drop-offs, or evening home visits. Because my routine is consistent, you can rely on me for punctual, dependable care when you need it most. Safety is my absolute priority when transporting and caring for your pets. When using my pet taxi service, your animal will be securely fastened using specialised pet seatbelts, harnesses, or secure travel crates to ensure a smooth and safe journey. If I am visiting your home, I strictly follow your specific routines, double-check that all gates and doors are locked, and maintain a calm, stress-free environment. I will also send you quick text and photo updates after every trip or visit so you always have total peace of mind.
“Absolutely 5 stars ! From the very first contact, through the meet and greet, and right up to collection. Aston's knowledge of dogs and the way he manages his own pack is genuinely impressive. With two different breeds under his roof already, plus our Frenchie, a completely different breed again, his pack is well-balanced, patient, and remarkably tolerant. Our Frenchie has little sense of personal space as she is a velcro dog, and can easily get excitable, which can be too much for some dogs, but his dogs handled her with such calm and warmth that our dog made herself at home from day one. Beyond just providing a safe and caring environment, Aston gave our dog a wonderful opportunity to learn from a well-run pack — a pack that radiates positivity and happiness under Aston's lead — something especially valuable for an only dog like ours. Throughout the stay, he observed the dogs closely, read their behaviour with a keen eye, and sent us detailed, thoughtful updates. He didn't miss a thing our dog was communicating and kindly made sure she was settled, secure, and genuinely enjoying herself. We came away not just relieved, but truly impressed. His knowledge, attentiveness, and genuine love for dogs shine through in everything he does. We can't recommend Aston highly enough to any dog owner and would love to ask him to look after our dog again.”
