“Laura was an absolute godsend, I had seen someone previous and it just didn’t work so I was panicking, Laura took a meet and greet last minute for me and was so calm with Evie and looked after her the next day, I had such peace of mind. Such a lovely family and my pooch was spoiled and had the best time with the other doggos there. Thanks Laura xxx”

“Obi stayed with Nicola overnight on quite short notice, and Nicola couldn’t have been more flexible or accommodating to our requests and timings. She and her family treated Obi like one of their own and were incredibly considerate of his needs, making sure he was safe in the sun and comfortable in their home. We received plenty of updates and photos of how he was getting on and we wouldn’t hesitate to leave Obi in Nicola’s care again!”
“Yasmin is a fantastic choice to look after your doggos! My two dogs stayed with her for a week, but we first had a quick meet-up a few weeks beforehand so they (and I) could get to know her. When I dropped them off for their stay, it was clear she’d already made a great impression — they were so excited to see her again! There were no issues at all during their stay. Yasmin kept in touch throughout the week with a lovely stream of photos and updates from their various adventures — both around her flat and on their walks around the racecourse — which was so reassuring. When I picked them up, both Nova (a medium-sized Labradoodle) and Roxy (a small Cockapoo) were happy, healthy, freshly bathed, well-fed, and delightfully exhausted after a week of walks, pampering, and cuddles. Thank you, Yasmin — from me, Nova, and Roxy! 🐾”
“Pedro and his family came to the rescue at short notice as we needed our two whippets to be cared for whilst we hosted a party in our home. It made all the difference to know they were safe in a family home (on the sofa) We will definitely use Pedro again”
“Eliot and Eli were lovely and looked after Finn for several nights. They asked all the right questions at the start to make sure everyone was on the same page for Finn's stay and were clearly experienced at looking after dogs. And most importantly Finn was happy and healthy after his stay, we would definitely recommend Eliot and Eli.”
“A week's stay with Arlina and family in January. This was our first stay with two large dogs - Milo and Frank. Very different personalities, energy levels and needs, which Arlina managed well. Kept me well informed throughout the week. A wonderful location and a kind family”
About: I have had my own dog for 11 years, he’s now an elderly gentleman! As a household we love animals and look forward to looking after your pets, I will be looking after them as their primary carer. . I have also had cats for 15 years, currently just one beauty. I’m here to look after your furry guests and help them settle in. I always do two good walks a day with our own dog or a trip to the park. On top of this we do two toilet breaks if needed. As the garden is not currently secure, I don’t use this for dogs. Dogs sleep in the kitchen which has rubber flooring at the moment, no caging unless requested. Our dog is older so can be a bit lazy and needs his rest, we have plenty of room for dogs to have their own space if needed, but he generally likes company. I am a cat lover and happy to provide drop in cat care, feeding, litter and cuddles.
“Victoria was really friendly & helpful in accommodating our dachshund Frank. She met with us before the stay to make sure we were happy & our dog would feel happy. Communication was good. Would recommend :) Thank you, Victoria!”
“I cannot thank Jessica enough for caring for Boscoe! He was absolutely pampered by Jessica and George making sure he felt comfortable in their home. He’s had a brilliant stay and would happily be back I’m sure!☺️ I will be recommending Jessica to all my friends and family! Thanks Jessica ⭐️”

During this time, I also fostered 10+ dogs, from tiny puppies to dogs that were 5 or 6 years old, with health issues.

If you require muddy paws wiped before entry, a groom before bed, biscuits laid out before I leave them please let me know.
“Beth was absolutely amazing looking after my cat for a week. We had a meet and greet so my cat could meet Beth before I went away and we could discuss what was needed, which was great. My cat was immediately super comfortable with Beth, which massively eased me whilst away. Beth was very communicative and sent updates, photos, and videos every day so I could see how my cat was getting on. Would definitely recommend Beth to anyone needing a cat sitter, and will definitely be re-booking if Beth is available next time I have the need. Thank you so much!”

“We felt completely at ease leaving our Bengals in the care of Maria while on holiday. We had initial visits with Maria before our holiday to ensure Benji & Talulah were comfortable and they connected straight away. Talulah became nervous before we left, but after a day Maria sent us updates to show Talulah venturing out to socialise! All updates received were as expected and nothing unusual regarding our cats behaviour. We have already booked Maria again for our next holiday and will be recommending to our friends and family!!”
“Ginnie was absolutely fantastic looking after our fur baby Cleo, it was the first time using this app and Ginnie and we felt so reassured and comfortable the whole time we were away. Ginnie provided lovely photo updates and we would 100% use her again to look after Cleo. Thank you so much Ginnie!”

Over the years, I have also helped friends, family, and neighbors with their dogs, taking care of walks, feeding, and giving them the attention they need.

Throughout the day Hayley kept me updated with photos of Blu, who was thoroughly enjoying the cuddles and playtime. So happy with the care that I have already booked in again with Hayley and her bully Barney. Def recommend if you want a home from home environment for your furry friend.”

No hesitation in recommending this lovely young lady to take good care of your precious pooch and we would definitely use her again should we visit Newbury again in the future. Thank you xx”

Our dog was thoroughly spoiled—she was taken for a lovely walk in the nearby woods, slept in a very comfy bed, and was given a squeaky toy and endless cuddles. In fact, she was so happy she didn’t even want to leave when we came to pick her up! Thank you both so much. I highly recommend them to anyone!”

About: Hi, I'm Grace – a lifelong dog lover with a home full of wagging tails and happy paws! 🐾 Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is truly my passion. I’ve been professionally walking dogs for over 5 years and grooming them for the past 2 – and there’s nothing more rewarding than earning a dog’s trust and seeing them happy, relaxed, and tail-wagging at the end of a visit. Whether it’s a gentle walk, a playful adventure, or a pampering grooming session, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand that each pup has their own personality, quirks, and needs – and I pride myself on being patient, loving, and attentive to every one of them. I’m also fully trained in canine first aid, so you can feel confident knowing your dog is in safe, capable hands at all times. Your furry friend’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. You can count on me to provide updates, cuddles, and plenty of love while they’re in my care. 🐶 I work from home as dog groomer so will be at home all day apart from nursery drop offs and picks ups. So they'll have regular fuss, cuddles, attention and toilet breaks. I have a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can play safely, along with two friendly resident pups who love making new friends. My home is set up with stair gates in various rooms, so I can easily separate dogs if needed - whether for quiet time, rest, or simply a break from the group. Your dog’s comfort and wellbeing always come first.

About: Hi, I’m Lily! 🐾 I’ve been around animals my entire life and caring for pets has always come naturally to me. Growing up, I had two older dogs who have since sadly passed, as well as hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, and fish so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I currently have two Yorkshire Terriers of my own, Enzo and Pippa, who are very loved and spoiled members of the family. Through friends, family, neighbours, and regular owners, I’ve looked after 7 dogs overall and still continue to care for 5 of them regularly. My experience includes dog walking, drop-ins, and dog sitting, with my longest stay being a full week caring for a neighbour’s dog. I’ve cared for multiple breeds and personalities, including dogs that require extra attention or accessibility support, so I understand that every dog has different needs and routines. While I don’t have formal qualifications, I do have lots of hands-on experience, patience, and genuine love for animals. Alongside pet care, I work full-time as a Food & Beverage Supervisor, but I’m looking to spend more of my free time doing something I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs! I’m mainly available for walks on my days off, mornings or evenings especially Wednesdays but also depending on my work schedule which I receive a month prior, but I’m also happy to offer drop-ins and overnight stays where possible. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for just like my own. Pet care is already a huge part of my everyday life as I have two Yorkshire Terriers of my own, Enzo and Pippa, who I care for daily. Alongside this, I regularly help care for dogs belonging to friends, family, and neighbours through walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I work full-time as a Food & Beverage Supervisor, so pet care fits around my work schedule and my days off, especially Wednesdays, when I’m most available for walks and extra time with pets. I’m also happy to offer drop-ins and overnight stays where possible. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy and naturally make time for in my routine. When caring for pets in either my home or a pet owner’s home, I always try to stick as closely as possible to their usual routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and settled. I understand every pet is different, so I always take the time to learn about their needs, personality, feeding schedule, walking routine, and anything else important to their care. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, playtime, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. Whether that’s going on walks, playing with toys, relaxing on the sofa for cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I always want them to feel loved and cared for. I also have experience caring for dogs with different personalities and additional care needs, so I’m patient and understanding with shy, energetic, nervous, or older pets. I’m happy to provide updates and photos too, as I know how reassuring it is to know your pet is happy and in good hands.
About: I have such a genuine love for animals, they bring us so much happiness and it would be my pleasure to take care of any pet. We trained guide dogs as a family when I was young and I regularly look after friends and neighbours pets. I don’t have my own dog yet as I want to be fully settled before making the commitment that is needed, however this is a great way for me to spend time with dogs before then and help people out whilst doing that. I am happy with any breed or type of dog, am psychically fit myself and love long walks. I am waiting to begin a new job so I am free a lot of the time, lots of time for long walks and looking after pets. I treat pets like family, I love dogs so much and can read their body language well. They entertain me as much as I’ll entertain them!
About: Hello I’m Kora! I have been with rover for 2 years now. I have been around animals since a very young age and have been fortunate enough to have grown up with a variety of pets over the years, such as Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Guinea pigs, Hamsters, and exotic species like African Land Snails and a Herman Tortoise. I have a level 3 diploma in animal management after 2 years studying at college, allowing me hands on experience with a range of different species and breeds. Along with this I volunteered at an equestrian centre as well as dog kennels where I would feed, clean, walk, train and spend time with all breeds of a variety of different ages. Additionally I completed work experience at a local vets where I assisted in the aftercare with cats and dogs following their procedures and treatments. I regularly pet sit for family and friends with cats and dogs and am comfortable with all breeds. I am currently working full time however am available weekends as well as school holidays. (I will be available during the summer holidays, mid July onwards) I am very comfortable caring for your pets and ensuring your house is kept neat and tidy, the welfare of your pets is my priority and keeping them happy!

“Helene was amazing with our dog Dobby and made him feel absolutely at home from the first meeting. She completely put our minds at rest whilst we were on holiday with regular videos and texts to let us know how things were going. He couldn't have been in better hands and we will certainly be coming back to Helene in the future. Thank you very much Helene my making him so welcome!!”
“Toby our schnauzer,had amazing time with Jo and Martin.They are kind,friendly couple who took a great care of our boy.They kept us up to date with messages,photos and video of him and we knew he was safe and in good hands. Toby went on long walks and on the train adventure to the town. We would highly recommend Jo and Martin and we will definitely book again.Thank you so much🐶”
“A real home from home for my Diego. A great safe environment and personal care which gives total peace of mind whilst away. I think he had a better time than me on holiday. He is already looking forward to the next visit!”
“Laura was an absolute godsend, I had seen someone previous and it just didn’t work so I was panicking, Laura took a meet and greet last minute for me and was so calm with Evie and looked after her the next day, I had such peace of mind. Such a lovely family and my pooch was spoiled and had the best time with the other doggos there. Thanks Laura xxx”
“Really lovely and caring family. Did a fabulous job with our Spanish Waterdog and would definitely recommend and use her again. Golly says thank you too!”
“These guys are great and we will be definitely be using them again. They were always in touch and sending us pics and videos of our dog whilst he was with them. Our dog had a lovely time and was very happy.”
“Obi stayed with Nicola overnight on quite short notice, and Nicola couldn’t have been more flexible or accommodating to our requests and timings. She and her family treated Obi like one of their own and were incredibly considerate of his needs, making sure he was safe in the sun and comfortable in their home. We received plenty of updates and photos of how he was getting on and we wouldn’t hesitate to leave Obi in Nicola’s care again!”
“Yasmin is a fantastic choice to look after your doggos! My two dogs stayed with her for a week, but we first had a quick meet-up a few weeks beforehand so they (and I) could get to know her. When I dropped them off for their stay, it was clear she’d already made a great impression — they were so excited to see her again! There were no issues at all during their stay. Yasmin kept in touch throughout the week with a lovely stream of photos and updates from their various adventures — both around her flat and on their walks around the racecourse — which was so reassuring. When I picked them up, both Nova (a medium-sized Labradoodle) and Roxy (a small Cockapoo) were happy, healthy, freshly bathed, well-fed, and delightfully exhausted after a week of walks, pampering, and cuddles. Thank you, Yasmin — from me, Nova, and Roxy! 🐾”
“Pedro and his family came to the rescue at short notice as we needed our two whippets to be cared for whilst we hosted a party in our home. It made all the difference to know they were safe in a family home (on the sofa) We will definitely use Pedro again”
“Eliot and Eli were lovely and looked after Finn for several nights. They asked all the right questions at the start to make sure everyone was on the same page for Finn's stay and were clearly experienced at looking after dogs. And most importantly Finn was happy and healthy after his stay, we would definitely recommend Eliot and Eli.”
“I cannot thank Jessica enough for caring for Boscoe! He was absolutely pampered by Jessica and George making sure he felt comfortable in their home. He’s had a brilliant stay and would happily be back I’m sure!☺️ I will be recommending Jessica to all my friends and family! Thanks Jessica ⭐️”
“A big thank you to Laura and partner for looking after our fur babies (Baloo and azlan) over this past week. We would highly recommend them and will definitely ask for them to look after our dogs in the future. We had a lovely meet and greet before our holiday. This took place at their home which was gorgeous along with a fully enclosed garden. Laura was very knowledgeable and asked lots of questions about our dogs needs such as dietary requirements, sleeping arrangements, exercise needs and lots more. Thank you again and will be recommending you to all our friends and family. Hope to use you again in the future.”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have always grown up with either dogs or cats , sometimes both at the same time and have experience caring for dogs, cats and small animals (rabbits, hamsters,guinea pigs) . I share my home with two Miniature Dachshunds one is 1 years old almost and my other is 2! and cats also , giving me daily hands on experience with pets of different personalities and needs. I also have experience caring for puppies Ivy is still a puppy herself and understand the extra patience, consistency and attention they need while they’re learning and settling into new routines. I’m patient, gentle and have lots of cuddles and time to give , and I know every pet is unique. I take the time to learn their routine, preferences and individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable and happy while in my care. I live in a quiet cul-de-sac with plenty of green space nearby, as well as beautiful woodland walks and a river close to home, providing a calm and varied environment for dogs to explore safely. I’m happy to send regular photos and video updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is being looked after as if they were one of my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as caring for animals is already a big part of my life.

I have a flexible schedule as I work from home , which allows me to provide regular visits, walks and quality one-to-one time with your pet rather than rushing between appointments. I understand how important it is to keep pets in their usual routine, and I’ll do my best to follow their normal feeding, exercise and sleeping schedule to help them feel relaxed and secure. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to keep owners updated with photos and messages throughout each booking so you always know how your pet is getting on. In my home, pets are treated like family. I have a fully secure garden where they can play and explore safely under supervision. They’re welcome on the furniture for cuddles if that’s what they’re used to at home, and they’ll receive plenty of love, attention and affection throughout their stay. Fresh water is always available, feeding routines are followed exactly as instructed, and I make sure every pet has a comfortable, safe place to relax. My home is in a quiet cul-de-sac with access to nearby green spaces, beautiful woodland walks and a river, providing a peaceful environment for exercise and enrichment.

I’ll also send regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe and loved while you’re away.
“Oliver and Holly have been great. Sending us updates and taking Leia out for walks as per her normal schedule. Leia stayed for 8 days with them and she seemed very happy when we collected her. She is not the easiest dog with some separation anxiety but they adapted to make sure that she is not left on her own. Will definitely use them again! Sotiria”
“Great sitter! Barney &co were eagerly waiting for their new playmate when we arrived and I was assured my pup would have a great time ? great communication with Hayley too and the pics and videos she sent of active play put my mind at ease. Would certainly use Hayley again when in the area!”
