“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”
“Fiona, James and their daughters made our two dogs very welcome in their home and looked after them very well. We had regular photos and updates, and they have come home very relaxed and happy. They accommodated Dizzy (a rescue with issues with other dogs) very well, avoiding situations that could upset her. Thanks Fiona & James!”
“Nala had a great time with Sean. He took her on long walks and kept us updated with pictures throughout her stay. I would highly recommend Sean if you’re considering a sitter for your dog!”
“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.”
“This is the second time we have used Murali to look after our dog and once again they didn’t disappoint. We received lots of updates, pictures and videos letting us know how Tilly was throughout her stay. It was clear that she got lots of cuddles, care and love. Your pet will be in good hands with Murali!”
“Winnie had a lovely time staying with Sandra, her husband and Charlie the dog. They all made her feel very welcome and part of the family. We got some lovely photos and videos of Winnie enjoying her day out which was great. Thanks Sandra!”
“We couldn’t be more pleased with Lynn, and Reggie couldn’t have felt more at home. Thank you so much for making him feel so welcome and settled in your home. We will be using Lynn to care for Reggie again and would highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“Couldn't ask for more, really. Have left our two dogs with Brandon and family a few times now and each time they've been looked after brilliantly. Lots of interaction, care and understanding. I will have no hesitation in using Brandon again, and indeed recommending him to others.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Gus was included in the family and clearly had a great time. The texts and photos were lovely to have. Shelley and family couldn't have done more for us. We were welcomed even though traffic meant we were much later than planned. I think Gus is missing them so I hope we get to meet up for another stay. I would certainly recommend staying with them.”
“Shadia took great care of our fluffy child, Maya, for her first night away with someone who wasn't a family member. We were also able to meet up the week before Maya went to stay so Maya could also meet Shadia's gorgeous Golden, Skye. Maya had the best time with Skye and we'll be happy to have her stay again.”
“I booked Kinghei to look after my dog Lily for 5 days and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Lily is quite a lively and mischievous dog, so I was honestly a little worried — but Kinghei handled her brilliantly. She was well looked after, taken on regular walks, and clearly in great hands the whole time. It really put my mind at ease. Thank you so much, and I wish you all the best in your pet-sitting journey!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“This was a repeat visit and again David was absolutely brilliant. Juno had a problem with her paws and David followed the care instructions from the vet meticulously. I had no worries at all about her care. He kept me completely up to date and I was so relieved that he was looking after her. I highly recommend him and will certainly book him again.”
“Gizmo is really well looked after each time he stays with Stephen with lots of walks. He is treated as one of the family! I receive regular photo updates and Gizmo is really happy to stay with him. I would whole heartedly recommend Stephen as a sitter!”
“Andy's awesome at what he does. I left Dukey with him for a week and then again for a night, lots of cuddles and updates throughout the day. He also makes sure to provide reassurance where needed instead of making it a panic situation overall if your pet feels a bit off, will definitely book again for Dukey!!”

“Jasmine watched our two kitties for a week and did an amazing job, as we received daily updates with photos. I was so relieved to see they really liked and trusted her, as one of them is quite scared and usually doesn't come out for strangers. I could tell she did some cleaning, as well, which was greatly appreciated.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Georgia is an amazing pet sitter! She looked after our 2 cats and was also happy to look after our rabbit and put some feed out for the multiple hedgehogs that visit us! She regularly updated us on the animals and even went out of her way to tidy up mess the animals created. I can't recommend Georgia enough and already rebooked her for another weekend. Thank you Georgia”
“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! ☺️”
“Caroline O was brilliant. She was reliable and extremely helpful. It was the first time we had left our rescued cats and Caroline coped very well with their nervousness and eccentricities. We will definitely book her again and recommend her as a trustworthy cat sitter. Thank you Caroline!”
“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 🙏”
“Tanya did an excellent job looking after my cats. She was reliable, caring, and kept everything tidy. The cats clearly felt comfortable with her, and I appreciated the regular updates. I’d happily recommend Tanya to anyone needing a trustworthy sitter and would definitely book her again.”
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.
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.
“Will clearly has a passion for animals, our boy Neil could not have been in better care for our time away. Will went above and beyond, he provided us daily updates, did a few extra visits for us and we could tell he genuinely cared about Neil. I would thoroughly recommend Will to everyone, Neil loved spending time with him!”
“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.”
“Freya was superb. Engaged and communication great prior to her house and cat sitting. We met beforehand to discuss everything and she kept me updated whilst we were away. Thanks Freya. Reliable, trustworthy and looked after my fur babies!”

Working with animals is always a joy, understanding the wonderful and different characters of all pets. I can provide private work references on request.

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.

I will care for your pets at your own house just how you would like them to be cared for. Lots of cuddles, fuss and playtime. Will also ensure you are kept updated with photos and messages throughout your dogs stay.

About: Greetings all Emily here, welcome to my profile! I recently returned from travelling South America and now the wanderer has returned safely and decided to step into animal care again - I am open to your offerings. 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 offer a bespoke service, have an innerstanding of dog behaviour and body language, simple dog training skills, including verbal and hand signalling. I have a strong intuition and enjoy animal whispering too with a variety of animals too.

Regarding over night care I prefer to stay in the owners home, as pets are always more comfortable staying in their own environment. Please bear in mind Rover charges me commission so the price you see is to cover Rover costs. I offer discounts for each tribe such as, 2 or more pets in the same household for 5 or more days per week, however this particular app doesn't have an option to offer those, so feel free to give me a message regarding your requests and we can go from there.

I can be adaptable to all family needs, being a fast learner, I can quickly pick up skills or practices. Working with animals is always a joy, understanding the wonderful and different characters of all pets. I can provide private work references on request. I only take one job at a time with sitting so that my attention is undivided. Especially for pets that have a limited time that they may be left alone. My approach is always pet centered, adjusting my schedule to the jobs I accept. For example, working from home if I have remote work to be done the same week. I am a recent graduate and my schedule is currently very flexible and ever-changing. I have a good size fenced garden in the countryside, with 2 small and friendly dogs that are good company. Walks in the area can span from 30 minutes to 4 hours and more. There is also a dog walking park near where I live so that’s a great place to go if dogs need some time off the lead but also in a safe environment.
“John is fantastic with our very energetic, boisterous lab. Maple clearly loves the walks and is very excited when John arrives. He takes her such varied, long walks and we are very grateful-will definitely be booking again.”
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.

“Fiona, James and their daughters made our two dogs very welcome in their home and looked after them very well. We had regular photos and updates, and they have come home very relaxed and happy. They accommodated Dizzy (a rescue with issues with other dogs) very well, avoiding situations that could upset her. Thanks Fiona & James!”
“Nala had a great time with Sean. He took her on long walks and kept us updated with pictures throughout her stay. I would highly recommend Sean if you’re considering a sitter for your dog!”
“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.”
“This is the second time we have used Murali to look after our dog and once again they didn’t disappoint. We received lots of updates, pictures and videos letting us know how Tilly was throughout her stay. It was clear that she got lots of cuddles, care and love. Your pet will be in good hands with Murali!”
“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!”
“Couldn't ask for more, really. Have left our two dogs with Brandon and family a few times now and each time they've been looked after brilliantly. Lots of interaction, care and understanding. I will have no hesitation in using Brandon again, and indeed recommending him to others.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Gus was included in the family and clearly had a great time. The texts and photos were lovely to have. Shelley and family couldn't have done more for us. We were welcomed even though traffic meant we were much later than planned. I think Gus is missing them so I hope we get to meet up for another stay. I would certainly recommend staying with them.”
“Shadia took great care of our fluffy child, Maya, for her first night away with someone who wasn't a family member. We were also able to meet up the week before Maya went to stay so Maya could also meet Shadia's gorgeous Golden, Skye. Maya had the best time with Skye and we'll be happy to have her stay again.”
“This was a repeat visit and again David was absolutely brilliant. Juno had a problem with her paws and David followed the care instructions from the vet meticulously. I had no worries at all about her care. He kept me completely up to date and I was so relieved that he was looking after her. I highly recommend him and will certainly book him again.”
“We had a really great service and experience using Ellie for the care of our aging dog. She and her lovely family catered for him really well, with regular updates and care. Thanks Ellie!”
“Hector had the best time with Matt and Teddy. Matt was quick to respond and flexible to our travel plans. We got lots of photo and video updates. Would 100% 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!
“Jo-Amanda looked after Frank as if he were one of her own dogs. She sent lots of photos and videos, even though I was only gone 2 days, she even tried some of her own kibble mix when he was off his own food. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Teresa was so accommodating with our last minute booking for Winnie. She sent pictures and updates daily and kept in touch the whole time! She let us make sure Winnie was settled before we left her and when our flight was delayed over 3 hours getting home, she was accommodating with that too! We could tell Winnie had lots of fun and was really happy staying with Teresa, I can’t recommend her enough :)”
“Due to a very last minute trip I reached out to Chloe to look after Oatie for 5 nights. Chloe was amazing and kept me up to date with how my boy was doing. Oatie came back super content and can’t thank Chloe enough.”
