Octavia took wonderful care of Biscuit for 10 days! Many lovely updates with pics and videos of a very happy, well looked-after pup. I don’t think she wanted to come home in the end! It truly felt like Biscuit was welcomed into the family with Octavia and co, and I’m sure we’ll be trusting her to care for Biscuit again in the future. Thanks again for everything! x

Thank you for looking after Bee. She was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved spending time with you. Thank you as well for the lovely updates throughout the day they really helped put my mind at ease. I would absolutely book with you again

What a lovely lady Petrina is, very welcoming and will fit in around any request. You know straight away she loves dogs, keeps you up to date with how your dog is whilst staying with her. Our little ruby was at home straight away and we were so happy with Ruby's stay. We would highly recommend Petrina if you were think of leaving your dog with someone as we had total piece of mind whilst away.

I was nervous to leave my boy with a dog sitter but I had no reason to worry at all. He has clearly had the best time being looked after by Nicky In her home. Regular updates of how he was getting on, and was great for him to make a new doggy friend too with Nicky’s own dog. I will be in touch next time he (I) need a holiday!!

Alison was a great host for our two spaniels, caring for them as if they were her own. She kept us updated with mesages and pictures of their stay. We felt relaxed knowing that Alison had their best interests in mind at all times. We would have no hesitation in recommending Alison or using her again.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child and regularly take care of friend’s doggos! I am comfortable looking after all breeds and all needs! I work part time so am free all day on a Monday to cuddle with your pups! I live close to Dartmoor so there are lots of great walks nearby for them to enjoy! I have a safe fenced garden in a quiet area. I am experienced in taking care of many different types of dogs and making sure they are comfortable in my home. I am free mostly on weekends but often I am available during the week/evenings - please contact me if you have any questions at all! Disclaimer - I appreciate being told if you are running late to collect your pet - if you are late then I will modify the booking to reflect this.

Mark and Donna, were the most loving and caring hosts to my little Freya. I had only previously left her with family members. I was so torn to leave her with strangers, who also provided day care to other fur babies. Mark was so reassuring with reassurance, photos, and videos that my time away was pleasurable and not filled with added worries. We are going to book again for April next year, I wouldn’t book again if I had any doubts or concerns.

This was our 2 dog’s second time with Ela, this time for a 3-day stay. They’ve obviously bonded with her and are comfortable in her care. They’ve been on walks and play sessions and we’ve had plenty of updates and videos which is always lovely and reassuring when away from home. It’s obvious that they like being in Ela’s care and you can’t really ask for more than that!!!

About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 12. I'm currently not able to have my own but adore dogs and love the thought of helping someone in the Buckfastleigh and Ashburton area with theirs. I've done some sits for people through the House sitters website (last one was a Cockapoo) and also looked after my brother's Border Collie and my in-law's Lurchers so have experience with different size dogs. As I work from home most of the week and often go for walks in the morning, lunchtime, or evening after work. I'm here all day so can tend to a dog's needs. I can also easily nip out to walk your dog if needed. I don't have a garden but have some lovely walks in the area. If they're happy to sit at home on the sofa or a dog bed most of the day then my place is perfect. If I was coming to you during the day that would work too.

I left for a much needed trip with my Hudband for 8 days and Anindita treated my dog as her own with love, care , hospitality and total professionalism. She sent us updates regularly and photos and even a few videos ; which relieved our minds of any problems or quirks with our dog Jimi . We have a sensitive dog with a quirky tummy at times and Anindita went above and beyond to help him with some special dietary assistance. She is the best sitter I have ever had and as a special act of kindness ; she gave our dog a little birthday celebration with s video ; since we could not make it back home until the day after his special day . I highly recommend her and her dear husband was very kind with my doggie as well. Thank you so much , as a person with a sensitive dog always worries and through this app Rover I have found the best sitter ever !

We booked our dog, Nelly in with Claudia last minute due to being let down. She was really accommodating, making sure she knew everything about Nelly before she arrived. Claudia kept in touch during the whole stay, sending videos, photos and updates. Nelly had a fantastic time and looked like she had a better holiday than we did.

We are extremely pleased that we found Rhys on Rover. Rhys was very accommodating, helpful and friendly. Rhys sent us photos throughout our Cocker’s stay, and it was clear that our boy felt at home with him. He was well and truly worn out when we picked him up from all the wonderful walks Rhys took him on. We are very grateful to Rhys and certainly be using him again in the future.

Hannah & Jordan are absolutely fantastic with our old boy Murphy. They take him for lovely walks and dips in the water. He goes straight in when he's dropped off which shows us how comfortable and happy he is. It fills us with so much confidence knowing he is relaxed & settled. We can leave him and not have to worry as we know he is in the best hands! His next stay with Hannah & Jordan is already booked!!

This was our dog’s first overnight stay with Stacey, we were obviously a bit nervous, but Bobbie settled well. We had some lovely photos, video's & messages sent to reassure us throughout the day & evening. Stacey & her family were amazing with her, Bobbie looked so content & having the best time. We have already made a second booking with Stacey, because we know our dog will have a lovely time & be so well cared for. I cannot recommend Stacey highly enough. Thank you.
