“Richard looked after our dog Amber and was excellent from start to finish and we wouldn’t hesitate to use him again. He is clearly very knowledgable when it comes to dogs and he made Amber feel very settled and at home. We had pictures and videos to reassure us she had settled in, and throughout her stay. Exceptional service!”
“Alex and Lucy did a wonderful job looking after Michael our greyhound, he came home relaxed and happy. We were provided with photo updates and messages. I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking for quality dog care.”
“I'm really glad I found Alison. She was really lovely with my dog Hettie, who can be very nervous in certain situations. I think Hettie really enjoyed the quiet countryside set up and it was a lovely chilled retreat for her.”

Emily was flexible and responsive when making arrangements to take her out and provided plenty of updates of their walks on the beach. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or book again.”
“Monika is the first person to ever look after Monty and it was his first time not staying at our house. We were nervous about how he would be but it’s very obvious that he had a fantastic time away! She kept us very informed on how he was doing and I think the chance to spend time with another bigger dog in the house has really improved his behaviour. Super happy with the whole experience and would absolutely recommend Monika to look after your pup!”

“Lorena helped day sit at very short notice for my friends Lab that was on heat. Excellent communication. Lorena arrived on time and asked lots of questions to confirm her genuine interest. She was wonderful with the Labrador pup confirmed. She gave updates throughout the afternoon which were much appreciated. Once my friend arrived home, he found his dog to be calm and happy and very comfortable with Lorena. He asked me to give her a top review and will be happy to ask her again for help! Thank you Lorena!”
About: My family has always owned dogs so I have a lifetime of personal experience. I volunteered and multiple animal sanctuaries and zoos growing up and I worked for pets at home for more than three years where i specialized in dog care. I am available most days and weekends for any bookings and will normally be happy to take bookings on short notice. The safety of the pets come first and for that reason I would make sure to supervise them and if in the garden make sure its enclosed and has no open gates. I work part time and have a very flexible daily schedule. The best thing to do is contact me with the dates and times you require and I will do my best to accommodate. The safety of your pets is my top priority, on our walks I like to keep them on the lead untill in certain they will listen to commands from me.
About: I’ve got plenty of experience caring for cats and understand how different their personalities can be. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter cleaning, giving them space when they want it, and spending time with them when they’re feeling social. I make sure they stay comfortable, safe, and relaxed
About: I moved to Cornwall for university and soon found the passion for surfing. I now live in Cornwall and have been looking after dogs for several years now. Moving to Cornwall on my own has made me very independent, but also very flexible. Which means pet care fits easily into my day to day routine. I have a few small jobs that I can schedule around the dog sitting, so I'm able to give pets plenty of time and attention. I thrive on having a routine and living an active, healthy lifestyle. When looking after pets. I understand how important routine is, including regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, especially as different breeds have different needs. With my active lifestyle, i genuinely enjoy walks, runs, and spending time outdoors, so keeping dogs happy and exercised comes naturally to me. When I'm caring for pets in their own home, I'm always respectful, tidy and minimal, making sure everything is kept just as the owners expect.

I have most of my experience with boxers, French and English bulldog puppies from birth. I currently study at uni, so have lots of free time for short and longer walks, especially during holidays and weekends. I’m more than happy for any special arrangements you may need or a negotiable price to work for us both. I’m sure your dog will become comfortable and happy in my hands so you can feel safe and content with their care :) P.s much appreciated if I am able to bring my partner for longer house sits (of course we can meet prior) I’m currently studying geography at uni but have lots of availability around my schedule to walk or provide pet care, plus, my car for longer adventures! Although i am at uni and cannot care for your pet in my home, I can walk and pet sit in your own home in however ways you require

My cats always have full bellies and are very happy I am free most weekdays and some weekends, I am available more in the evenings but if you need a day let me know and I’ll see what I can do :) I ensure my cats are given time to go outside to get some fresh air and make sure they are fed twice a day, their litter is changed every single day. I of course make sure their water bowl is always full. My cats have a large scratch post and warm bed for them to use whenever they want. In the summer i provide my cats with frozen cat treats to keep them cool.
About: At 8 I rescued a kitten from the road, and got my gran to adopt her as we already had 3 dogs at home. I have always loved feeding and taking care of strays, helping my neighbours look and friends with their cat and I have now done a few cat sitting on Rover too as I’ve started using in almost 3 years ago. I’d be so happy to look after your beautiful four legged fury friend and I promise I will give them as much love as if they were with you.
About: My whole life I’ve been surrounded by dogs, I even grew up with Irish wolfhounds, so know how to handle the larger breeds. I’m very reliable and have walked dogs for a long time, and due to my love for animals, I’ll enjoy walking your dog just as much as they will. Im currently working a part time job so have plenty of free time to walk and play with your pups! I would love to pursue dog walking as a full time job and therefore my availability is very flexible.

“Really happy with Inca’s care. Alison sent through a photo to let us know how Inca was getting on and was really kind when I picked her up. Feel very comfortable when leaving Inca in July for 3 nights.”
“Gina made Thor so welcome in her home and really helped us out at short notice on our holiday as we needed some dog sitting. She was really thorough with questions upon us dropping Thor off about his care which made us feel at ease. Regular updates with photos through the day kept us connected. Really happy and would love to use Gina again, Thankyou so much.”
“Leo was so easy to communicate with he replied so quickly sent lots of pictures through the day. It was my first time using the app and I could not have had a better experience. Ben loved his day too he came back tired and very happy. Thank you Leo for being so easy to communicate with and so helpful and looking after Ben so well!”
“Runa instantly felt at home with Rhianna. She was very well looked after and came home a very happy girl! Rhianna sent lots of lovely photo updates and messages on how runa was throughout the day so I knew she was in safe hands. Thank you!”
“Emily was super friendly and really responsive to all communication. My 8m old Lab is quite bouncy and can be a handful, but Emily was confident and cared for him incredibly well, despite his teenage tenancies. I would definitely recommend Emily to anyone looking for a calm environment for their dog.”
“Melanie was great, Coddi can be nervous with new people but once Melanie provided a photo of belly rubs I knew things were going well. Melanie was great at communicating and get back to be quickly. Thanks for everything!”
“First time using Rover and what a fantastic choice having Sarah. From the start she was welcoming and enthusiastic. Our dog had a great time out on the beach twice and happy with Sarah. Before hand Sarah gave us lots of beautiful recommendations for places where dogs are welcome which really gave us a head start for our holiday in Cornwall Cannot thank Sarah enough for making our dog so relaxed and happy.”
About: Ben and I love dogs so much! We’ve been dog sitting since 2019 (though new to Rover!). Your pets will be treated like our own - completely spoilt with fusses, playing and big walks. We work from home and walk our dog twice a day for an hour each time (though can also take them separately if a less active walk is preffered). We have an enclosed garden filled with dog toys for them to roam freely and just have infinite love and patience for our doggy friends. Stick throwing, river paddles and lots of cuddles can be expected. We also love cats (I grew up with 6 - 3 at my mums and 3 at my dad’s) so really happy to do visits for either or sit in your home to keep them company. We’re flexible, reliable and responsible. We bought our house in Falmouth last year so very much here to stay and can be a holiday home for your dog or a reoccurring sitter as it suits you. We work remotely so can spend time with nervous doggies in their own homes to make them as comfortable as possible or keep cats company during the day too. We can have dogs with us (as long as they get on with ours) overnights or just for the day and can do walks as well. Our home is very dog friendly with dogs allowed on sofas and beds. We also really don’t mind sandy or muddy paws. Dogs come first in our house!
“Katie was absolutely brilliant with our Luna! She was super flexible and responsive to messages and Luna had a really lovely time - enabling us to enjoy some of the sights of Cornwall that dogs can’t go to! Thankyou so much”

“I just want to say what a fantastic young lady Virginia is, she looked after my furbaby for 2 days (Separate days) whilst we were on holiday in Cornwall. She is totally genuine and I know she looked after my baby (Lyra) just as I would. If Lyra could have spoken she would have told me what a totally awesome time she has had with her. If you are looking for someone to look after your special baby then book Virginia. Thank you so much for taking care of Lyra for us.”
“Tass was very responsible and incredibly kind and patient with our 3 year old cocker spaniel Mabel. She sent lots of lovely photos and messages during her stay. Thank you so much Tass. I would highly recommend her.”
“Katie was so great with both me and Watson! It was my first time booking with Rover and she was really helpful in supporting me to book and with enquiries. Watson is usually a bit anxious with new people and when I leave him, but when I picked him up he was flat out asleep on the sofa with Katie's housemates and seemed completely comfortable. I am delighted and would definitely ask Katie to watch Watson again in future.”
“Kyal, was absolutely fabulous with our labradoodle Milo whom he looked after whilst we attended our daughters graduation. He took him for a long walk along the coast line to Flushing beach and sent wonderful pictures of their time together. Milo even had a dip in the sea . He had so much fun that he slept as soon as we got home. Thanks for taking care of Milo Kyal.”

About: My wife and I are passionate Spaniel enthusiasts, having had dogs in our family all our lives. We currently share our home with two Springer Spaniels and have cared for many friends’ dogs, including Vizslas, Belgian Malinois, Boarder Collies, and Jack Russell’s - to name a few. Truth is we love all dogs. Our teenage children tend to keep to themselves. We are very active and enjoy walking or running the trails or beach walks with the spaniels if that’s what your dog prefers, we are equally as happy relaxing on the sofa with them for a good cuddle. Due to my work schedule, I can only offer dog services from Thursday evening through to Sunday evening - perfect for short weekend get aways. During holiday periods, I may be available for full weeks, and the calendar will be updated to reflect availability. Our dogs have their own dedicated room, and on sunny days they can freely access a secure garden. We believe in working collaboratively to create a plan that best suits your dog’s needs. If your dog is sociable, they are welcome to make friends in the dog room, but if they prefer their own space, we’re happy to accommodate that too. For walks, safety is our top priority, so leads are a must. Together, we can discuss your dogs behaviour on walks to ensure they have the best possible outing.
“Kyal is awesome. He took the time to meet Albie (and me) before their walks together, showed up promptly (and let me know he’d arrived), sent pics of a very happy pooch, and I came home to a super content setter each day. What more could I ask for?! Thanks so much Kyal. Albie looks forward to seeing you again soon.”
About: Throughout my life, I have been surrounded by the joyful energy and unconditional love that dogs bring. From a young age, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for various breeds, each with their unique personalities and quirks. Whether it was teaching my playful lab new tricks or enjoying quiet moments with my gentle fizzla, every experience has deepened my appreciation for these loyal companions. I've learned to understand their needs, from proper exercise and nutrition to the importance of socialization and mental stimulation. These experiences have not only shaped my skills as a dog sitter but have also enriched my life with countless memories of wagging tails and happy barks. I work from home five days a week, and I love spending my time outdoors with the dogs. Whether it's taking them on coastal walks or discovering new scenic routes along the shore, I enjoy exploring the beauty of nature with my furry companions. I have a spacious, enclosed garden that ensures your dogs are safe and secure while they enjoy their time outdoors. Water and food always available.
About: ✅ DBS Checked ✅ Fully Insured ✅ Pet First Aid and CPR certified I have been pet sitting and dog walking for friends and family for the past 10+ years and have finally taken their advice to do so in a more serious capacity, having grown up with the sweetest and most gentle family dog which really drove my passion for animal care. Most of my experience has been centred around house sitting/overnight stays to care for pets, especially pets who are anxious or cannot be alone for long periods of time. Though born and raised in Helston, I have looked after a range of animals (from tropical fish to bearded dragons) for pet owners both in and outside the UK, but have recently moved back to Cornwall. My main focus is dogs/cats but I'm a quick learner and happy to help with whatever pet I can, so don't be afraid to reach out. - 10+ years experience with dogs (6 months to senior) - 7+ years experience with cats - Dog walking & Drop ins based in Helston only (for now) - House Sitting in Helston or anywhere accessible to public transport I currently have a fully free schedule so can easily fit around an owners needs. I may only take 11am-1pm off daily to fit in lunch or last minute/emergency drop ins. I make sure to follow a pet owners instructions to a tee and will treat their pet as if it were my own. I also make sure to leave any house I sit at in the same condition it was left in as that is just common decency and basic respect.
“Rufus absolutely loved going out for walks with Ellen, she is so calm and knows how to treat dogs well. Rufus knew when she was coming to pick him up, and would start getting excited waiting by the door. The next time I need a dog walker I will be contacting Ellen first! Rufus and I would highly recommend her. 🐕🐾♥️”
“I used Sarah's dog walking services whilst we were staying in the area for a wedding. Communication was good and she asked questions to best tailor my dog's walk and sent photos and a report card straight after the walk. My dog was at ease with Sarah straight away and clearly enjoyed her walk! I would definitely use Sarah's services again when next in Cornwall.”

About: Having grown up with dogs, following this through with my own children, I have always loved and adored them. I have had spaniels, Rottweilers, Staffordshire bull terriers, mastiffs and a chihuahua so all shapes and sizes! I am currently working part time on a self employed basis so have plenty of opportunity to fit in any walks or drop ins within my schedule I always ensure to get a good descriptive explanation of how your pet is cared for at home so that they are not out of their routine. All safety precautions are taken when out on walks or if a drop in includes a run around in the clients garden.
About: I am currently studying an access course at college, for midwifery. I finish this course in a week and I’m looking to do something fun and different over the summer. I currently work the odd shift in community care - so I’m pretty calm and patient. I am willing to take care of all kinds of animals, in my family home, we currently have; snake, tortoise and a dog. (Dog is not mine). I have had many cats and kittens of my own in the past, I have also had many dogs. I would love to have my own dog, but the family dog isn’t that great with others. I can administer medication to your fur babies and take them on long walks. I’m willing to drive them to better areas for the walks. Do you need to go away, but you’re worried about leaving your elderly pet. I am willing to care for them while you are away.
About: I’ve had my own dogs (cocker spaniels) for almost 20 years, cared for GSD (my dog’s best friend) Labrador’s & regularly play with packs of pointers where my horse lives. I live an outdoorsy lifestyle, love beach walks which are nearby and leafy walks through the fields. Dogs generally come with me everywhere. I’m available for morning, lunchtime or evening dog walks. I have Public Liability Insurance in place. I’m available for dog walking or letting out/feeding, mornings, lunchtimes and also evenings - particularly useful for late shift workers, happy to let out/feeding/walk.

I am comfortable around any dog no matter the temperament, i can adapt to specifically fit your dogs needs and make sure they are comfortable.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for many years. Growing up, I looked after my family dog, Taco, from the time I was old enough to take responsibility for her right through to her senior years. During that time, we also had another family dog, so I became used to caring for multiple dogs with different personalities and needs. Today, I have my own rescue dog, Bella, who has given me experience with building trust, establishing routines, providing enrichment, administering medication, and caring for an anxious dog. Looking after Bella has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and tailoring care to each individual dog. Alongside my experience with dogs, I’ve also cared for cats while their owners have been away. I’m happy to provide drop-in visits for cats, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, playtime, and giving them company while respecting their individual personalities and routines. I’m confident caring for pets of different ages and temperaments, from energetic younger dogs to slower senior dogs who need a gentler pace. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, playtime, medication (following your instructions), or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you have complete peace of mind while you’re away. I currently work morning cleaning shifts, which means I have availability around my work schedule for dog walks and drop-in visits. This will be after 7am. I can provide reliable care during my available hours and will always communicate clearly about my availability. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. When visiting your home, I will treat your space with respect, follow your instructions carefully, and make sure your pet feels safe and relaxed. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs.
About: I’ve always had pets growing up as a child, I have taken care of 4 dogs since I was 8. My love for them keeps growing with the years. I have taken care of any animal found abandoned on the street or badly treated, for me they all deserve care and love. I have volunteered at animal sanctuaries so I feel confident to take care of any sort of dog or cat. I am used to having lots of pets around, I love to walk them, cuddle, feed and bathe if needed. I am used to all sort of ages and breeds. I’m a freelance writer and I work mostly from home. I have plenty of flexibility and free time during the week. I share my house with my two friends who both adore animals and would give them much love. I miss my family dogs very much and taking care of your pet would make me so happy. I am always looking forward on spending some time with a four legged friend! I have a quiet backyard, it has a lovely shade and it’s very peaceful, so it is perfect for a day sitting. For the night I am happy to have your pet over unless it’s a big dog then I would prefer staying over at the owner’s home. I am very tidy and respectful, I will leave your house just as I have found it and I do believe the animal will feel safer being at their own home.
About: My own dog, who is now 10, is my pride of joy. My life revolves around looking after her and she truly is a family member to me. I have taught her all of her tricks and habits. I did get lucky with her intelligence but having looked after other peoples dogs I have worked to train them too with great success. I am a very patient person who brings a calm and inviting demeanour to dogs, becoming their comfort base when we are in busy areas. I absolutely adore getting the privilege to look after dogs and I treat them how I treat my own- like family. I have experience dealing with aggressive animals, oral medication, cleaning of wounds and infections, elderly and young pups. I am currently a University student at home for the holidays so am available every day. My schedule will revolve around the dogs and can accommodate your needs. I live in a safe neighbourhood with a fenced in garden and plenty of space for the pet to have free roam of the house. They are welcome on furniture including the bed, but if you would like them to remain crate-trained I can also easily accommodate that.
About: Experienced pet carer available for sitting, boarding and drop ins on Monday and Tuesdays - if you are looking for a regular and reliable sitter/walker look no further! I love animals, and regularly look after a nervous Cadoodle named Nia who I love taking on big walks and caring for. I also have experience with other dogs, cats (with diabetes) and chickens. I have administered injections and tablets to cats and dogs. I am flexible - I work a few (different) days a week, but otherwise I can play all day indoors or take them out for long stomps out in nature whatever your pupper or meow wants! I’ll be led by the dog/cat and their owner’s home first and foremost. I will listen to the animals needs and respond accordingly while upholding rules and training with them. I’ll feed, walk, and offer care and attention that suits you and your fur baby. I have experience with very anxious dogs, and experienced giving medication to cats and dogs.
“Lara is a very friendly walker who my dog really liked from the start. We chatted about Daphne’s needs and she listened and took in board what I said. She’s clear about what she can offer in terms of availability which I find so helpful.”

“Richard looked after our dog Amber and was excellent from start to finish and we wouldn’t hesitate to use him again. He is clearly very knowledgable when it comes to dogs and he made Amber feel very settled and at home. We had pictures and videos to reassure us she had settled in, and throughout her stay. Exceptional service!”
“Alex and Lucy did a wonderful job looking after Michael our greyhound, he came home relaxed and happy. We were provided with photo updates and messages. I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking for quality dog care.”

“We were initially nervous as have never left Cobo with anyone but family before. Ellie was great with him and kept me updated throughout first day. When it came to second day he couldn't wait to go into house with her, both she and Ben have been amazing with him. We would unreservedly recommend them and will use them again. Thank you guys x”

“Harry stayed overnight with Tabitha who was excellent at communicating with us and sent a video of Harry enjoying himself. Would not hesitate in booking Tabitha again if we return to stay in the nearby area.”
“Emily looked after our Labrador Milly during our holiday in Cornwall. Milly had a great time and we were almost worried she didn’t want to leave! Emily was flexible and responsive when making arrangements to take her out and provided plenty of updates of their walks on the beach. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or book again.”
“Monika is the first person to ever look after Monty and it was his first time not staying at our house. We were nervous about how he would be but it’s very obvious that he had a fantastic time away! She kept us very informed on how he was doing and I think the chance to spend time with another bigger dog in the house has really improved his behaviour. Super happy with the whole experience and would absolutely recommend Monika to look after your pup!”
“What an amazing time my Sam had. I received lots of updates and pictures, and she made me feel he was in the best care. I wouldn’t hesitate in using Katie again. Exceptionally caring and made Sam part of the family for a week. ❤️”
“Chloe and Biddy were very helpful with a late request for weekend dog sitting. Theo and Chili had a great time sunbathing, playing in the garden and exploring the woods, and Biddy was very laid back about dealing with a cheeky 1 year old!”
