“Mark and Helen were fantastic with Milly, when my husband collected her she was full of beans, it was obvious she had a great time. They are very nice people who love dogs, the communication was great we received photos and messages daily with updates. We wouldn't hesitate to leave Milly with them again, we can highly recommend Mark and Helen. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our little Milly monster. Bill and Lynn”
“Ella had our dog Dylan for a few days over our wedding weekend. It was our first time leaving him with anyone other than family but Ella made she we had a meet and greet first to go over all of the details and get him comfortable in her home.”
“This was the first time Lulu has gone to a dog sitter and Beth and Dan did an amazing job with her. She had a lovely long weekend with them and had good walks and fuss. We are so pleased with the service provided.”
“Georgie was an absolute joy throughout the entire process - quick to respond, fully professional, and so welcoming of Ewok into her home. Ewok had an absolute blast with her and Nala, so much so that she needed a nap when she got back! Can't wait to book her in again soon.”
“She is a special person, my dog was very well taken care of, she is a very responsible and caring person, both she and her partner are very pleasant people, very sociable and friendly, I always received information about the dog, pictures and videos, I am very happy to have met her and I will use her again whenever I need to. THANK YOU”

About: I had a rescue labrador for 10 years and am now keen to help look after other doggos. I have worked in animal rescue centres and been trained on doggie first aid. I'm very calm and gentle with animals, and will be a responsible care giver for your beloved canine. I work from home half-days on Fridays with flexible hours, and am generally free on weekends. I'm very flexible around timing and happy to work around your pet's needs. We have a fenced-in garden and live on a quiet street just off the canal path and near several great fields and walks. Can provide dog beds and are flexible on whether dogs are allowed on furniture.
“Rachel was very good with Milo was my first time leaving him with someone else overnight and she kept me updated and adored him 🥺I would highly recommend her to anybody even someone who gets nervous he’s come home very happy and cheerful ❤️will 100% go back”
“James is absolutely fantastic. I'll admit, I only joined Rover in a pinch because I'd left it too late to book a kennel for an August holiday. However I now see that as a happy accident as it lead us to James, and I'd be happy to use him again in future. He kept us up to date with photos and messages, and Lola has come home completely chilled after having a great time in James's care.”
“Pablo had such a lovely time staying overnight with Heather and her daughter. It was our first time using Rover and she made us feel so reassured and comfortable! Pablo loved playing with Heather’s dog Honey in their garden, and he came back such a happy and snoozy boy who had clearly had a fab time. We received regular updates and photos too - a perfect stay! Thanks so much Heather.”
“As we’d never used a home from home service before Kay soon put us at ease as she explained the process. We took our girl for a meet and greet at Kay’s home, our girl met Kay’s dog who was a little gent! During the stay Kay updated us with regular messages and photos which helped us relax as we enjoyed our time away. We highly recommend Kay and will be using her service again.”
“Dominika and Adam have been amazing with Rosie. It was such a comfort knowing she was with such kind, reliable people who clearly love dogs. Rosie was so happy and settled, and we loved getting updates on her day-to-day adventures - especially her trips around the Cotswolds! We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and trustworthy dog sitters, and we’ll definitely be using them again. Thank you both so much!”
“Remy had a great time with Daniela! She was very attentive to his needs and provided us with lovely updates during his time with her. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”
“Kell had our two dogs for a month and I have never picked up two more happy dogs! He and his wonderful family looked after them like they were their own, even taking them to the beach and long daily walks, they were part of the family. I couldn’t recommend Kell more to anyone and I’m so happy I have found someone who is so brilliant with two completely different dogs both with different needs and helped Gus settle in so well with separation anxiety and I’m so looking forward to seeing Kell again!”
“Anna looked after my two dogs a Labrador and a collie x lab for 1 night. Anna was quick to reply to my initial message and arranged a meet and greet. While our dogs were with her she sent lots of pictures and updates and took them on lots of walks. They slept very well once they returned home. I can tell they were very well looked after. Anna was flexible with pick up and drop off and gave me complete peace of mind while my dogs were with her. I will definitely use Anna again in the future.”
“Natalie and Jodie were brilliant with Benny and very welcoming towards him. I had lovely updates and photos. He looked really happy and relaxed with them. I will definitely be booking them, to look after Benny again. I would highly recommend.”
“Ottilie had a great time staying with Louise. She was very well looked after and clearly had a lovely time. Would happily use Louise's services again. Thank you!”
“Piper had a good 3 week stay with Daniel. We received updates throughout, which really put our minds at ease, and by all accounts she was very well looked after. When she was collected happy and content we’d definitely recommend Daniel and would happily book again!”

“Really grateful to Annie, we needed a last minute booking and right from the start Annie was great, she responds quickly to messages and came round for a meet and greet with very little notice. We have returned to both cats relaxed, well taken care of and happy. Thanks Annie!”
“Christine was brilliant at looking after our cats over Christmas. She was very prompt with her timings and went above & beyond to make sure our cats were well looked after. When we got home, the cats were both very happy. Thank you, Christine :) We will definitely be calling on Christine again if we need a sitter for the cats!”
“Sarah looked after my cats with lots of care and attention. Although one of them was sick whilst she was looking after them, she dealt with it and let me know straight away so I wasn’t worried at all. Really fantastic and I would recommend to anyone!”
“Chelsie was wonderful! She cared for our cats during the heatwave and made sure they were comfortable and cared for. Her daily photos and updates really put our mind at ease. Cannot recommend her enough.”
“Safi was brilliant woth both cats over a weekend we were away. She responded promptly very last minute and nothing was any trouble for her. We had lots of updates and pictures of the cats thoroughly looking relaxed and pampered! It was the first time using Rover, but Safi put us at ease straight away. We (and the cats) look forward to having her look after them again in the future”
“Couldn't be happier with Jayme. Throughout the booking process she has been friendly and responsive and very patient with us while we arranged a date for her to come meet the cats. We have come home after a week away to two very happy and settled cats which is a big change from any time spent at a cattery. Initially we were nervous about leaving the cats as we wouldn't be home but we would not hesitate to book again.”
“Would definitely recommend Amy for cat sitting! Came home to a happy cat! Lots of regular communication and pics whilst I was away, and very professional with her handover forms. Thank you 😊 ”
“This was for the first time I use Rover and chose Artur based on his reviews and never regret the decision I've made. Artur explained the all process, replied very promptly and received updates about my Harvey daily. I do highly recommend him, and I know I can count on him when I need. Thank you!”
“This is the first time that I've used Rover and won't be my last. Sophie was brilliant, we met before my holiday for Leo (my cat) and Sophie to get to know each other. Sophie came in daily to spend 30 minutes with Leo - feeding, grooming, clearing up odd fur ball and generally keeping him company. Each day I received an update, plus photos. He seemed to enjoy the visits and fuss. Would recommend Sophie to others. 😻”
“We cannot say enough good things about Ella! We had a meet and greet where we took the time to understand our routine, home, training and feeding schedules. We have just had our first booked session and could not be happier. Our puppy has separation anxiety, is on an awkward diet and I’m super fussy about who looks after her! So we’re not an easy booking. But within 2 minutes our puppy was calmly and happily playing and training with Ella. She immediately responded well to Ella’s extremely calm and patient nature and was totally content with her. This is a big deal as she’s a lockdown puppy and can be hesitant with new people. We’re looking forward to booking Ella again and feel so lucky to have found someone so kind to look after our puppy.”
“Lily came round to take care of our two cats whilst we were away. Lily has been brilliant - quick to respond to any query I had (first time Rover user!), has kept me updated the whole time with feedback and photos. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Lily to look after our cats again in the future! ☺️”
“Fay did a great job looking after Mokosz during her drop-in visits. She kept me updated, sent photos and a detailed report from both visits, which was really reassuring. Mokosz was calm and happy when I got back home, and it was clear she had been well looked after. Fay followed all instructions perfectly and even made thoughtful decisions where needed. I’d definitely be happy to book with her again. Highly recommended!”
About: I have been around cats all of my life, and continue to have a super soft spot for them. My partner's cat Frankie is a big ball of fluff, and loves a belly rub! One of our childhood (three-legged) cats, Chester, was one of a kind, and despite his disability, still managed to bring home the occasional rabbit as a treat for us all! My parents have recently lost their two elderly cats, and they leave such a hole in the family, so I know just how much they mean.
About: I have grown up with dogs of all sizes and have experience training a nervous reactive dog. My family love animals so I have experience with a variety of animals, big and small. I am in the final year of my apprenticeship to become a senior equine groom and have already achieved my BHS Stage 2 Care qualification.i I'm currently working as an apprentice four days a week 8 till 6. Depending on distance, I am able to drop in lunch times for toilet breaks. Three days a week I'm available all day. I am happy to do evening drop-ins and walks and happy to stay overnight. I am happy to follow all instructions provided. I have been trained in equine first aid as a part of my apprenticeship, which can be transferred to smaller animals. At home, we have had a variety of animals, including rats, chickens, dogs, bearded dragons and horses and i have been involved in all aspects of care.
“Keeley was excellent, furry baby's were well looked after and had plenty of updates over the 10 days. Responses were extremely quick will definitely be using this service again!!”

“Christine and Craig are very welcoming and made me feel at ease from the start. I was a bit worried at first because Yuki is a big dog and can be a challenge when it comes to socialisation, but they clearly know how to handle her with care and confidence. They kept me updated with photos and messages about how Yuki was doing, which gave me great peace of mind and helped me feel connected to my pup. They were also quick to respond and always friendly when answering my questions. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and reliable dog sitters!”
About: Hi, my name is Alix. I am 24 years old and live in a ground floor flat in matson, Gloucester. I have 2 children, 3&5 years old. I also have 4 cats who have been the first encounter for many dogs which I am happy to do with the owner here if your dog hasn’t been around cats before. I also understand that sometimes dogs and cats aren’t the best of friends so I’m happy to keep them separate if needed. I unfortunately don’t currently drive so you would need to bring your pooch to me. Caring for dogs is a passion for me. I took a break from dog boarding for a while but now on the hunt to make more doggy friends and help out owners! I have been dog boarding for 3 years now and cared for dogs of all ages. My children are used to dogs & my partner has 2 Staffordshire bull terriers at his mum’s who my children see regularly. I also have a jack russel and a jug at my mum’s who I absolutely adore and grew up with. I have my own fenced garden and will definitely take your pooch on walks at our local field! Please get in touch if you’re interested. :).. I’m currently unemployed so always at home. Monday & friday I do school pick up and drop off, however if your dog isn’t very good with being alone I can bring them along or I can find someone else to take my daughter to school on the odd occasion if need be of the 2 days I usually do and I will stay home to ensure your dog isn’t left alone. As long as i have notice i can ensure we’re home all day if need be for your dogs anxiety I am in a ground floor flat, I have my own fenced garden and a field nearby which dogs absolutely love to go and have a run around. I keep dogs on lead for safety. Dogs will be welcome to come on the furniture and sleep in the bed unless the owner requests otherwise.

About: I am currently a University student so am based in Gloucester September - December and Andover June -September and mid December to January!! Am able to be very flexible, can accept sits as soon as 12 hours before and cancellations the same, very happy to work with any and all routines and have experience with disabled, anxious and “difficult” animals and am more than happy to work around whatever makes them comfortable. I have always loved animals and have been surrounded buy them from a young age. we had dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, tortoises and a hedgehog! i have been working and studying with animals for about 8/9 years now and am currently studying Clinical Animal Behavior and Training at University. I honestly love doing rover work while studying as not only does it mean I have a lovely quiet place to study but going out on walks means I get out and about in study breaks which is so important for productivity and mental health. I am currently open for the summer bookings from June to September I will be operating mainly in the south west as I will be based in Andover in Hampshire though could travel further for a long stay. i am currently a student studying animal behavior at university, this means my schedule is quite open, having a full day of lectures on a Tuesday and 2-3 hours on Monday and Thursday. I can essentially learn online and do all of my work from a kitchen table which is perfect for looking after pets. I'm afraid I cannot offer boarding as I live in student accommodation and I wouldn't like to put any dog in a potentially stressful environment! When I'm sitting at the house I will never leave the house for longer than your animal is happy with which we can talk about, as I don't have many other responsibilities I will not have any unexpected reasons to leave. I often spend my days at a kitchen table on a sofa with a dog bed next to me, this way you'll pet can feel that they can come as close or stay as far away as they like! I love a good cuddle but will respect personal space if they prefer. Often first morning/day I try to keep myself "small" so that your animal can investigate me in their home properly this often looks as if I'm ignoring your pet as I want them to feel at ease to investigate me as much as they want and get comfortable with me without me forcing myself into their space. I never, ever mingle any animals be them dogs, cats or hamsters(!) that have not previously met for safety reasons.

About: I have a deep love for animals of all shapes and sizes. Having grown up with cats, dogs and other pets such as my sake named Sydney, it taught me how to handle the unique personalities and needs of each pet. I’ve also volunteered at a local rescue centre where I gain valuable skills in managing anxious and vulnerable dogs. I believe in providing your pets with the same care, love and patience that I give my own. My partner and I are homeowner locally but we have no pets here and we miss not having a pet like we both grew up with. My partner works from home on a flexible schedule to help and support pets and their owners and I look forward to getting time around some fury friends. I have a safe and secure flat with a small outside space that I could care for your pet in. Within your own home I would ensure I play by your rules and your pets to ensure a safe secure environment. I have walked rescue dogs before mostly on leads and I would ensure your pets are well secured before opening doors. When out I’d be cautious of animals and people to ensure your pet safety and their pets. I would be led by your routine and rules and support your pet through any requirements they have.
“Izabela was brilliant. She is super friendly, helpful and my dogs had a fantastic time. She responded quickly to my last minute request and immediately put me at ease when we met. My dogs had a lovely time and slept all the way home. I would 100% recommend Izabella and hope to meet her again.”

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is that I’ve truly lived a life surrounded by dogs — all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. From playful puppies to gentle seniors, I’ve cared for them all, and each one has taught me something new about patience, communication, and unconditional love. I understand that every dog is unique — some need extra time to warm up, some need to burn off tons of energy, and others just want a calm lap and some quiet company. I’m confident handling everything from crate training and leash manners to giving meds or helping older dogs with mobility issues. Because I’ve had dogs my whole life, this kind of care is second nature to me. Beyond the basics, I focus on building trust with each dog so they feel safe, secure, and loved while you’re away. It’s not just about keeping them fed — it’s about making sure they’re happy and emotionally cared for too. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life — it’s not just something I do, it’s part of who I am! I work weekdays from 9 to 4, so I plan my pet care around that schedule. Mornings and evenings are dedicated to walks, feeding, playtime, and cuddles, and I’m available for pet sitting visits before or after work, as well as on weekends. Since I already care for my own dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and fish, animal care is part of my daily rhythm — it’s second nature. I’m used to juggling different needs and routines, and I love spending that time connecting with animals and making sure they’re happy, healthy, and comfortable In my own home, pet care is woven into my daily routine — from feeding and cleaning to walks, playtime, and lots of love. With dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and fish under one roof (or in the yard!), I’m experienced in managing different needs and personalities. I make sure every animal gets the right balance of structure, attention, and comfort. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I take the time to learn their likes, quirks, and schedules — whether that’s giving a shy cat space, keeping a playful pup entertained, or making sure medications are given on time. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re part of my own animal family.
“Sian is incredibly punctual and has excellent communication which I love! Really puts my mind at ease and I have complete faith in her ability to manage my singular funny spaniel! Hera loved her adventure to sniff the cows and is already looking forward to her next play date!”
“Mark was great with Lincoln. Lincoln is extremely strong and reactive and Mark coped brilliantly. Also he arrived exactly on time which is unusual for other dog walkers we have used. Definitely a double plus. Would highly recommend him.”
About: I have owned dogs of many breeds for over 30yrs and board dogs of all breeds through family and friends. As I no longer have my own dog this is the perfect balance for me to still have dogs in my life I currently work full time from home with a very flexible schedule, your dog would have a home from home experience and I will follow any routine you require I have an enclosed fenced and secure garden, there is a field very close by for walking and the dog will be allowed the freedom to use my home as its own
“It has been an absolute pleasure getting to know Lily. Our nervous beagle,Bailey adores her! Lily is amazing with Bailey and I highly recommend her for both dog walks and doggie sitting 💕”
“Amber was amazing. She brought water with her on the dog walks and even took the dogs out earlier during the UK heatwave while we were away on holiday, to make sure they stayed safe and comfortable. We would definitely book Amber again.”

Dog walking- I can walk (custom to dog)x a day. I would keep the dog on the lead unless said otherwise by owners, likewise with interacting with other dogs.

Overnight stays- ensure they have been let out before bed, have a little play, and food is eaten.

“David was professional and efficient as well as being very friendly. Lola liked him very much and so did I. I have used him twice now and he was punctual on both occasions. Sat in my house with Lola for a day and left everything clean and tidy as he found it. I will have no hesitation in using him again.”
About: Hi, I'm Mo, a South-West England based dog and cat lover who has grown up around animals my whole life and currently cares for pets belonging to family and friends on a regular basis. Animals have always been a central part of my life, and looking after them isn't a side hustle I stumbled into, its an enjoyable experience for me too that gives fulfilment other side hustles do not provide. I offer dog walking, boarding at my home, drop-in visits and house sitting across inner London. Whether your dog needs a good long walk, or your pet needs some company during the day, or someone to stay with them while you're away, I'll make sure they're looked after with the same care and attention I'd give my own. I know how much your pet means to you and ,so I treat every dog/cat that I look after as if they were my own (like my cute cat Nova). I'm reliable, punctual, calm around dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and communicative,so you'll never be left wondering how your dog is doing. I'm available flexibly across the week and can accommodate last-minute bookings where possible. I'd love to meet you and your pet before any booking, a quick meet and greet means we both feel confident from day one! I am usually working from home so I am home most days of the week during the mornings/ afternoons ,however I am able to accomodate for furry friends! Here's what a typical day looks like when I'm walking or boarding a dog: morning walks at a good pace with time to sniff and explore, regular updates and photos sent to you throughout the day, plenty of play and attention, and a calm, settled routine so your pet feels comfortable and at ease. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, which means safety and comfort are always the priority, not just during the booking but from the very first message. At my home (boarding and drop-ins): My home is a calm, clean and pet-friendly environment. I keep all potential hazards out of reach, ensure doors and gates are secure at all times and never leave a boarding dog unattended for extended periods. Pets staying with me have their own comfortable space to sleep and settle, access to fresh water at all times and a consistent daily routine to help them feel at ease quickly. I live in inner London with good access to local parks and green spaces for walks and exercise throughout the day. At a pet owner's home (house sitting and drop-in visits): I follow the owner's routine and instructions carefully and precisely: feeding schedules, medication if required, preferred walking routes, sleeping arrangements. I treat the home with full respect and discretion and communicate any concerns or changes immediately rather than waiting until the end of a booking. Communication: Pet owners receive regular photo and text updates throughout every booking so they can relax knowing exactly how their pet is doing. I never leave a client wondering. If anything changes or I have any concern about a pet's wellbeing, I reach out immediately and handle it calmly and responsibly. Meet and greet: I always encourage a meet and greet before any first booking. It gives your pet the chance to get comfortable with me, and it gives you the chance to see how I interact with them before committing. Transparency and trust from the start is how I work.

About: I had a rescue labrador for 10 years and am now keen to help look after other doggos. I have worked in animal rescue centres and been trained on doggie first aid. I'm very calm and gentle with animals, and will be a responsible care giver for your beloved canine. I work from home half-days on Fridays with flexible hours, and am generally free on weekends. I'm very flexible around timing and happy to work around your pet's needs. We have a fenced-in garden and live on a quiet street just off the canal path and near several great fields and walks.

“Rachel was very good with Milo was my first time leaving him with someone else overnight and she kept me updated and adored him 🥺I would highly recommend her to anybody even someone who gets nervous he’s come home very happy and cheerful ❤️will 100% go back”
“James is absolutely fantastic. I'll admit, I only joined Rover in a pinch because I'd left it too late to book a kennel for an August holiday. However I now see that as a happy accident as it lead us to James, and I'd be happy to use him again in future. He kept us up to date with photos and messages, and Lola has come home completely chilled after having a great time in James's care.”
“Pablo had such a lovely time staying overnight with Heather and her daughter. It was our first time using Rover and she made us feel so reassured and comfortable! Pablo loved playing with Heather’s dog Honey in their garden, and he came back such a happy and snoozy boy who had clearly had a fab time. We received regular updates and photos too - a perfect stay! Thanks so much Heather.”
“Remy had a great time with Daniela! She was very attentive to his needs and provided us with lovely updates during his time with her. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”
“Kell had our two dogs for a month and I have never picked up two more happy dogs! He and his wonderful family looked after them like they were their own, even taking them to the beach and long daily walks, they were part of the family. I couldn’t recommend Kell more to anyone and I’m so happy I have found someone who is so brilliant with two completely different dogs both with different needs and helped Gus settle in so well with separation anxiety and I’m so looking forward to seeing Kell again!”
“Anna looked after my two dogs a Labrador and a collie x lab for 1 night. Anna was quick to reply to my initial message and arranged a meet and greet. While our dogs were with her she sent lots of pictures and updates and took them on lots of walks. They slept very well once they returned home. I can tell they were very well looked after. Anna was flexible with pick up and drop off and gave me complete peace of mind while my dogs were with her. I will definitely use Anna again in the future.”
“Natalie and Jodie were brilliant with Benny and very welcoming towards him. I had lovely updates and photos. He looked really happy and relaxed with them. I will definitely be booking them, to look after Benny again. I would highly recommend.”
