“Jade looked after our dog, Winnie, for eight nights, and we couldn't have been happier with the care she received. From the very first communication, Jade was warm, friendly, and reassuring. Winnie had a trial day before her stay, and on both occasions she ran straight in as soon as the front door opened, which told us everything we needed to know! Jade kept us updated throughout Winnie's stay with regular photos, which was greatly appreciated. At no point did I worry about Winnie's welfare, and considering the UK was in the middle of a heatwave, that was especially reassuring. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jade to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog boarder. Winnie was clearly happy and well looked after, and we'll definitely be booking with Jade again”

“This is the second time Khaya has stayed with Louise now and I can honestly say from the daily photos and reassuring updates I would highly recommend her . The fact that Khaya didn’t really want to come home says it all . A first class sitter x”
“We left our nine-month staffy Islay overnight with Jo and she had a fantastic time. I was a bit nervous to leave her but Jo was incredibly kind. A few days beforehand she met us for a walk to see how Islay is getting on with everyone. Islay absolutely adored staying overnight with Jo’s family and her dog. She had a blast playing and getting all the attention. They even included Islay in their weekend plans and she spent loads of time outdoors with the whole family. I received regular updates from Jo and I felt so relaxed knowing she was happy and enjoying herself. I’ll definitely be leaving Islay with Jo again in the future. This was such a positive experience and I’m thoroughly happy. I can’t recommend Jo and her family highly enough.”

“I cannot thank this lady enough, helped me out last minute I would recommend her service 100%, my puppy molly had an overnight stay, I was sent photos and video which was of great comfort to me as my puppy is 14weeks old and first time I had left her she was well looked after and I will definitely be using her services again”
“Jenny looked after our Cavalier, Freddie, so beautifully. Lots of lovely walks, and cuddles. Jenny really loves and understands dogs and knows how look after them.

Freddie came back well exercised and cared for, and also beautifully groomed, which was an unexpected but very nice bonus!”

About: All my life I have had dogs. As a child we were taught the importance of interacting with animals. Our extended family have always had dogs and cats and so it has always been a part of our lives. Life without them wouldn't be the same. Being an active outdoors person has always meant that our dogs get long walks with us. Swimming in the sea and splashing in rivers and streams is an absolute joy. Active dogs are happy dogs. I work from home which allows me to interact with my dogs on a daily basis. Routine is important and every morning the dogs get to socialize in the garden. After breakfast we get to access the nature reserve which borders our property. Access to parks, fields and the multiple countryside walks on our doorstep ensures that the dogs and I get ample fresh air, smells and exercise. Feeding times are respected and we ensure that the dogs are fed accordingly and fresh water is always available. Indoor comforts finish off most days, being it playing with some chewy toys or just chilling on the couch. We have a lovely fenced back garden with sunshine and shade. There are two doors opening onto the back garden, allowing the dogs to come and go as they please. Fetch and bring games are common so the dogs are always guaranteed some form of exercise. Outside wash area ensure muddy paws are taken care of. When feeding the dogs, we ensure there is ample distance from each other to ensure they can enjoy their meals and not worry about wolfing their food down whilst others look on. Grooming takes place in the evenings, whether it be a quick brush or just a good old ear rub.
“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. ☺️”
“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.”

“Jasmine was wonderful at looking after my cat Chaps over the Christmas period, he's a shy boy and seems to have really warmed to her over the days she cared for him which is wonderful to see! Really grateful for her care ☺️💕”
About: I’m Emily, founder and owner of WRR Pet Services, with a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management and a Bachelor’s degree in Zoo Biology, specialising in animal behaviour, conservation, and legislation. I am also pet first aid trained, hold a clean DBS check, and am certified in dog walking with the ISCP. I have extensive hands-on experience working with cats through roles in kennels and catteries, as well as caring for rescue and foster animals, including those with behavioural or medical needs. My background in animal behaviour helps me understand feline communication, stress signals, and individual personalities, allowing me to adapt my care to suit even the most shy, anxious, or independent cats. I have lifelong experience caring for cats alongside a wide range of other animals, and I currently care for four cats myself. This gives me a strong understanding of daily routines, enrichment needs, feeding habits, and the importance of maintaining a familiar and low-stress environment. My focus is always on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable experience for every cat in my care, ensuring their wellbeing, routine, and happiness are fully supported while you’re away.
“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 🙏”
“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.”
“Megan went above and beyond when dropping in on our cat while we were away. It was lovely to know she was getting lots of love and attention. Would highly recommend Megan and we will definitely ask her to look after our pets again.”
“rmth and enthusiasm: If I could give 100 stars, I absolutely would! Jasmine stepped in at very short notice to care for my three cats and arranged a prompt meet-and-greet, which I really appreciated. She put me at ease straight away with her calm and caring nature. My cats are very nervous around new people, but Jasmine quickly gained their trust, which was amazing to see. I received regular photos and updates while I was away, which gave me real peace of mind. Everything was also left clean and tidy when I returned home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jasmine!”
“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. 👍”
“It's the second time Sarah looked after my furry kids and she was brilliant. Even my not very sociable cat got close to her. I definitely recommend her and will not hesitate to book again.”
About: Hi! I’m an attentive and caring cat sitter with hands-on experience looking after both adult cats and kittens. I have a Siamese cat, and I’ve personally hand-reared her newborn kittens when the mother wasn’t able to feed them. This involved feeding them every two hours, stimulating them to go to the toilet, and ensuring they were healthy and comfortable. I love spending time with cats, playing with them, providing gentle care, and making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away.
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.

I am semi retired and have plenty of time to walk and exercise your dog. Our home backs on to a lovely lake and open spaces.

Our dog is very friendly with other dogs and we will make them feel safe and comfortable in our home from home.
“Calypso had an amazing day with Louise and Cho. We had lots of pics and vids of her playing ball and swimming. At pick up time Louise talked us through her day. As she is still young, it's good to know how she gets on in a new environment. Booked in again for August. Calypso can't wait 😉”
“It was Dexter's first time with Lauren. He is wary of new people, has medical needs and requires a calm and quiet environment. Lauren was happy to administer his multitude of eye drops and medicine. Dexter seemed relaxed around Lauren when first meeting her and when I came to pick him up he didn't seem stressed. Lauren was really nice and listen to all his requirements and shared pictures as well from his day with her.”
“Bentley had a super time. Came home happy and tired! Thank you Chloe for making this first time so seamless. Looking forward to Bentley having future times with you. Highly recommend!”
“Another lovely day with Rose for our Cherry, the pictures Rose provided really brightened my day with one very happy puppy who is now content and sleepy at home. Thanks Rose once again.”
“Bramble spent the day with Sandra and had a great time with Charlie and another doggy visitor. We were sent photos throughout the day and given feedback on how she had been. This was Bramble's first time in day care, ahead of staying for a weekend in a couple of weeks, and I am confident she will be wonderfully cared for and have a great time.”
“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: 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.
“Lorraine was lovely and we wouldn't hesitate to book Bentley in with her again! He had a lovely stay for the day whilst we went to nearby Paultons Park. Lorraine was super quick at communicating before and during the stay. She sent photos and updates during his stay. Bentley was very happy to sit on her lap all day and was very comfortable with her. Thank you Lorraine!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently have two of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I work from home, which means your dog will have constant supervision, care, and companionship throughout the day. I have a 3-year-old daughter who has grown up around dogs and is very gentle and respectful with them. My home is calm, loving, and pet-friendly. There is also a large, secure garden where dogs can safely play and enjoy time outdoors. I am experienced with different dog personalities and needs, and I always make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and treated like part of the family. For extra peace of mind, I am pet first aid and CPR trained, and BPSS checked. My husband and I both work from home, so your dog will have constant supervision, care, and company throughout the day. Our routine is very flexible, allowing plenty of time for walks, play, and rest. Dogs are never left alone for long periods, and we can easily adapt to your pet’s usual schedule and needs. I also provide regular photo and video updates for your peace of mind. We have a large, fully fenced and secure garden where dogs can safely play and explore. We also have two friendly dogs who are used to being around others. Our home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly, and dogs are treated as part of the family – they are welcome on the sofa for cuddles. I am pet first aid and CPR trained, and BPSS checked, so your dog will always be in safe and responsible hands.
“Dennis has had another brilliant day with Jasmine. He got to hang out with a couple of doggy friends, went for a swim and did some painting. Thanks Jasmine for looking after him for much longer than expected as we both got stuck at work!!”
“This was Peggy’s (and our) first experience of using the Rover app, however we are so pleased we did - Sophie was brilliant from the first message to pickup! Peggy felt at home with Sophie straight away had such a great time - she came home worn out 😀 We would certainly use her again and be happy to recommend her 🐶🐾”
“Lucho had another fantastic stay at Babs! He’s well looked after, great socialising with other woofsters, keeps up his training, and comes home exhausted. Thank you again 💖”

Would definitely recommend and wouldn't hesitate to ask her to mind them again in the future!”

I adore them equally - most days👀🤣 I’m confident with walking dogs on the leads and I encourage smells and stimulation for a fully beneficial walk.🌳 I’m a fully remote worker in a bluechip company and only need WiFi and a seat big enough for me and the pet to cuddle for the day.💻🐾❤️ I have a fully fenced garden big enough for all dogs to run around. I also have 2 dogs who adore guests and other fur babies to bring comfort to yours.

We received regular photos, and William is very quick to respond, which gave us real peace of mind. This was our first time using Rover, so I was a little sceptical, but honestly I can’t fault a thing. We will definitely be making regular bookings and will not be going anywhere else. So glad we found William, thank you!”
“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.”
“It was Louie’s first time away from us and Chloe was really good with Louie and asked for advice to make him feel more settled. Would recommend Chloe as despite a few issues of Louie missing us he was welcomed like a member of their family. We felt very relaxed leaving Louie and knew he was being well looked after.”
“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: Hi, I’m Sophie! My partner George and I recently bought our first home in Eastleigh, and we’re both huge dog lovers. While our work commitments mean we can’t have a dog of our own right now, we’d love to help others by providing caring and reliable dog walking and sitting services. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, from a Border Collie to a Lhasa Apso/Yorkie mix, and now a lovely litte Poochon. I’m very used to grooming needs and making sure coats are well cared for. I also regularly help care for family dogs, including Labradors, so I’m confident with both small and large breeds. Having experienced every stage of a dog’s life, I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies as well as giving extra patience, attention, and love to older dogs. I work full-time across four days a week, which means I’m fully available on Tuesdays and weekends. On my days off, your dog will have my full attention. I’ll always stick to your routine and make sure your pup feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for—whether that’s during a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay. I’m happy to provide as many walks as your dog needs, along with plenty of playtime and attention. They’ll also have access to a secure garden and a safe, dog-friendly home environment. I have a fully fenced, secure garden and plenty of lovely walking routes nearby. I’m also happy to take dogs out in the car for longer walks or new environments if they enjoy that. I always aim to follow your preferences and routine to make sure you feel completely comfortable. My home does have stairs, but these can be safely blocked off if needed. Dogs are welcome to settle in wherever they feel most comfortable. You’re very welcome to bring their bed, crate, blankets, or anything familiar from home. If your dog is used to cuddling up on the sofa, they’ll be more than welcome to do the same here!
“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!”
“Perm worked really hard to accommodate our two huskies and he gave them plenty of attention, exercise and care, and gave us great feedback. I felt very comfortable with our dogs in his capable care. He's a natural with dogs. Would certainly rebook in the future.”
“We needed someone locally to board our dog Darwin for one day/night at short notice and fortunately Hugo was available. When we dropped off Darwin we new straight away that he would be well looked after. We would definitely use Hugo again.”
