It was a perfect 1st stay away from home. Millie was made very welcome and Aga helped her to settle and maintained her routine. Aga couldn't have been more accommodating or caring and her updates with regular photos showing Millie happy and enjoying herself were very reassuring. A great dog minder that I will use again and would be happy to recommend.

We especially appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Sully was returned to us happy and relaxed.

We had never left Matilda with non-family before so were worried but we had a lovely meet with Patri before our booking date and this really put our minds at rest and we knew that Matilda would be well looked after and we had nothing to worry about. Patri asked all the right questions to ensure she gave Tilda the best care. When we left her she was not at all bothered and Patri sent us photos to show she practically went straight to sleep :) Thank you Patri, we certainly enjoyed our event more not worrying about Tilda and knowing she was in good hands,

Even more important to us is that Sophie treats Winnie as one of her family and keeps us up to date with what Winnie is up to. Sophie is also friendly and professional. We will certainly be asking Sophie to look after Winnie again in the future.🥰🥰

About: I genuinely love spending time with cats and understand that every one has their own unique personality. Whether your cat is playful and curious, shy and independent, or simply loves a quiet cuddle, I’ll always take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for. Growing up, my family had a much-loved cat called Fluffy, who was part of our family for many years. Since then, I’ve looked after cats for friends and clients, including house sitting for Luna and caring for my friend’s cat, Arlo. These experiences have taught me how important it is to stick to each cat’s routine and respect their individual needs. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, so I’ll care for your cat as if they were my own. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime (if they enjoy it) and lots of affection on their terms. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your cat is happy, safe, and in caring hands.

I have had Siamese cats, moggys and I now have a 13 y/o Burmese cat called Boom. I am obsessed with Sphinx cats, so bonus points for them, I will sit for free!

About: I take the time to understand every dog’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages and temperaments, including seniors and anxious pups, and I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I don't work now, so I can devote all of my time to caring, playing and fun walks with your dog. I have two parks near by and we have lots of calm cuddles and comfy naps after. I am licenced with BCP and Safety, trust, and a calm environment are always my top priorities. I care for pets in a clean, secure, and comfortable home where they’re never left unattended for long periods. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, and care instructions to help them feel settled and stress-free. I keep a close eye on behavior, energy levels, and appetite, and I’m quick to respond if anything seems off. I treat every pet like family—making sure they feel safe, loved.

About: My family had owned pets pretty much my whole life, from small animals like gerbils and budgies, to dogs and cats! As a somewhat paranoid pet owner myself, I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pets care to someone else, and as a result I aim to give the same standard of care as I would for my own pets. I am also able to provide care for birds. as I am at home from university over the summer period, I am very flexible in terms of when I am available to provide pet care. The care I provide can vary depending on the needs of your pet. I will ensure their environment is safe at all times, paying careful attention to any specific hazards or concerns you may have. And of course walking/feeding/playing.

About: Since I was little, I’ve always been surrounded by animals. Growing up with dogs, cats and other pets taught me to understand their needs and emotions. I know how to make them feel safe, cared for and happy I currently work remotely from home, which gives me plenty of time for walks and playtime with your furry friend. My children absolutely love dogs and cats and enjoy spending time with them, helping with play and gentle care, which creates a warm and friendly environment for any pet. I have two spacious gardens where pets can safely run, play or relax, as well there’s a beautiful park just a short walk away — perfect for longer adventures.

About: Hi, I’m Lily, a passionate animal lover and experienced pet carer offering a safe, loving home environment for your pets. I work as a children’s social worker, which means I am around throughout the day and can provide plenty of supervision, companionship, and care for pets in my home. My professional background means I am highly responsible, trustworthy, calm under pressure, and experienced in meeting individual needs. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. I currently have two house rabbits of my own, who are kept in their own separate room away from any dogs attending doggy daycare, so everyone can remain safe and comfortable. Over the years, I have carried out drop-in visits, feeding sessions, pop-ins, and dog walking for others. I am confident in managing pets with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I understand how important it is for owners to know their pets are in safe hands. Whether your pet needs company during the day, a walk, feeding visits, or loving care while you’re away, I will treat them as if they were my own, with patience, attention, and lots of affection. I would love to meet you and your pet and provide a caring, reliable service you can trust. I work from home during the week, which means pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and allows me to provide regular supervision, companionship, toilet breaks, feeding, and attention throughout the day. I am able to build walks, playtime, and care around my schedule, ensuring pets are not left alone for long periods. My evenings and weekends are also flexible, allowing me to accommodate dog walks, drop-in visits, and daycare depending on your pet’s needs and routine. In my home, I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets are supervised, given regular toilet breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of affection. I always follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walk preferences, and any individual needs. I have two free roaming house rabbits of my own, who will be kept on a separate floor away from any dogs attending daycare, ensuring a safe environment for all animals. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I respect their routine and home environment, making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for in familiar surroundings. Whether this is feeding, drop-in visits, companionship, or walks, I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs and always provide reliable, attentive care.

About: Having grown up with dogs, cats and horses. I am a huge animal lover. I have pet sat and dog walked from a very young age. At the age of 16 I trained a disobedient male Labrador called Buddy, the family told me I changed their life. I have a way with animals, I love cuddles, walks and playing. I am always happy to assist with looking after pets other than dogs and cats too. No pet is too much for me and with me, they’ll be guaranteed to be spoiled with love. I usually work away on superyachts but I have come home to take a break and possibly find a change of career. Animals have always been the centre of my world and I am hoping this can go further. I will follow all instructions given to keep your pet as safe as possible! I am also happy for pets to stay upstairs with me if this is what they’re used too or shut downstairs if that’s your preference.

They went out of their way to accommodate us and even met us in the morning before the scheduled booking with their gorgeous dog Pepe to make sure everyone got on! I can’t recommend them highly enough, we had photos and videos throughout the evening and Luna had a fabulous time whilst with them. We’re so happy we found someone to take care of Luna, we’ll definitely be booking with them again 😊

I cannot rate Sonya highly enough! What an absolutely fantastic sitter. She was prompt, considerate, attentive and conscientious. Wesley is normally very reluctant to go off with people he doesn't know but Sonya ensured that he was well cared for and her patience with him was so special. She paid particular attention to him not over heating, his eating and drinking and his cuddles. I feel so chuffed that we found this true, amazing and capable dogsitter. Thank-you Sonya for your care. And in case it hasn't come across in the above I 100% would trust Sonya with Wesley any time again in the future and recommend her wholeheartedly.

About: [Please see below for my price list👇] I have had pets around me my whole life and know how to look after them and make them feel safe, happy and pampered! I currently have 2 cats at home. We used to have a collie but unfortunately she had to be put to sleep which was really hard to deal with 😢 I’ve always wanted to work with animals so this is my dream job and something I hope to stick with for a long time! Drop-in visits (less than 4hrs and including a walk): Between £20-£40 Day bookings between 4-6 hours: £50 6+ hours: Full daily rate of £60 30 min walk: £15 60 min walk: £25 Cat & small animal sitting: £20 for drop-in visit or £40 per day housesitting (Note that additional fees apply when booking through Rover. For other booking and payment options please message me to arrange a meet & greet first.) Unfortunately I cannot offer boarding services at this time. I offer house sitting, dog walking and drop in visits at times of the day that suit you and your needs. I’m usually very flexible, however I do kindly ask for a few days’ notice just in case I happen to be unavailable. I would provide the best care for your pet/s and only do as you’ve instructed me to do. You can trust me to look after your pet with respect and empathy and make sure they’re as comfortable and happy as possible. Please see my Rover calendar, which I update regularly, to ensure I’m free on the days you require. You can trust me to keep your pet/s secure when in my care. Please let me know if there’s anything specific I need to know about your property and your pet. Dogsitting is now my full-time job. I do find that I spend more time in other peoples’ houses than my own sometimes which can be a little strange! 😂 But I love this job and wouldn’t change it for the world, the animals I meet and bond with on a near-daily basis make it all worthwhile! 🥰 When I’m housesitting, there are 2 things which I prioritise: the animal(s), and the security of your home. You can have full peace of mind when booking with me, as I make sure all doors are locked whenever leaving the property, and I stay in touch with you via text while you’re away, letting you know how your pet is doing, if there are any problems, and even sending photos of your furry friend so you know they’re in good hands!

About: I’ve been a dog lover since a young age. Living with dogs as a child was an absolute joy. I’m great with all dogs big, small and everything in between! I’ve never met a dog that doesn’t like me and you can rest assured your dog will be treated as if it were my own in my care. For your peace of mind I also have a diploma in dog sitting/walking. This is a relatively new venture for me but one I am extremely passionate about and I strive to not let people down. I currently have a French bulldog/dachshund cross who love cuddles. she gets lots of attention including long walks and plenty of play. I am a stay at home person looking for a new opportunity think that I will be golden dog sitter and would never let someone down. I have a Frenchbull dog crossed with a dachshund she is just over a year old loves cuddles and attention she goes for long walks and loves to play.

About: I’m an experienced sitter with a genuine love for all animals. I got all my pets through to the tender old ages of 16 through devotion, love and responsibility. I love giving them love and I can take care of senior dogs with all kinds of health problems. I am also DBS checked and I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, birds you name it. I even had horses. I currently work part time and my work is flexible so they will have all the attention and love from me. We’ll go on early morning walks and afternoon walks depending on the weather and between they’ll get to play and have fun! I live in a one bedroom in a long stay hotel setting right now. There’s a bit garden in the back and a big one in front with plenty of routes to the beach. I’m also more than happy to stay at your place and look after your babies in their own environment.

About: My family had a boxer dog called Charlie before I was born until I was 6. My grandparents also had a dog until two years ago, who I walked and played with. My neighbour also would being their cocker-spaniel Poppy to our house a few weekends a year, for us to look after, including taking on regular walks, out to the toilet, etc. I would like to petsit a few weekends a year, probably once a month, and am happy to travel to a variety of places for this. I will ensure the safety of your pet at all times, ensuring I follow the instructions you provide to fulfil the individual needs of your pet. I have high attention to detail, and have worked in environments where responsibility and caring for others is of extreme importance (I worked in a nursery for 3 months over the summer 2021).

About: I LOVE animals! I have always been an animal lover from a very young age and have had dogs in my home! I love both cats and dogs and am a very respectful, responsible young lady who understands the stress when going away to find someone you feel comfortable and happy with in your home! I have a sprokerpoo called Ernie, and we’ve recently had this issue! I work from home with my own business in social media management, so I thought why not offer pet sitting and other services! I also have qualifications in teaching and elderly care so I am an overall compassionate and loving person! As I work from home (or anywhere with internet) I can virtually be free most of the time to pet sit! I drive and am happy to travel to you for petrol fees! If anyone has any questions you can always message! I am very eager to meet, play with and love your pets just as much as you do 🤍 I work for myself, so I choose my own hours! If you have internet in your home (if I’m house sitting) your pet friends will have a companion all day everyday for as long as you need! Working from home means I have availability to walk and drop in to see your little darlings too! In my home, I have a fully enclosed garden and have to make sure everything is put away! (Shoes are my puppy’s favourite!) I am very aware of my surroundings with my dog and what is safe for him to eat/not eat! I work full time for myself from home so this allows me a large amount of flexibility regarding my routine. This is a huge benefit to pet owners I help as I can work around your schedule/your pets schedule at ease! If I have any work calls whilst at your home I will let you know timings in advance, but this will not impact your pet sitting/daycare experience in any way! If your pet is coming to my home. He/she will be safe at all times. I won’t leave your pet if that’s what you require and make sure they are safe and well looked after at all times!

We had never left Matilda with non-family before so were worried but we had a lovely meet with Patri before our booking date and this really put our minds at rest and we knew that Matilda would be well looked after and we had nothing to worry about. Patri asked all the right questions to ensure she gave Tilda the best care. When we left her she was not at all bothered and Patri sent us photos to show she practically went straight to sleep :) Thank you Patri, we certainly enjoyed our event more not worrying about Tilda and knowing she was in good hands,

I arrived to drop off Bailey with Camila and her partner was there too. I don't even think Bailey was bothered it I was still there out not. Camila kept me up to date that Bailey was getting on well with her dog and that he had a good night. I've already booked another 2 stays as I felt so relaxed that Bailey was being well looked after. Thank you 😊

About: Dogs have been my whole life. I grew up in a house with 4, spent most of my life volunteering at various dog rescues, and ran my own dog boarding from 2016-2020. These days I've got 2 of my own - both super friendly and great with visitors - so any dog staying with me lands straight into a relaxed, sociable pack. With 8+ years of boarding experience and a lifetime around dogs, I know how to read body language, prevent issues before they start, and keep every dog calm, comfortable, and safe. Overnight stays are what I do best. Here's what makes my setup a bit different: I work from a dog-friendly office with a dedicated 'dog only' pen area, which means your pup comes along with me and is never stuck home alone for hours. Their day is full - plenty of walks, lots of play and engagement activities, safe spaces to run around, and comfy couches and beds to flop on when it's time to wind down. They get exercise, company, and proper rest - all in a safe environment at home and in the office. You'll never be left wondering how they're doing either. I send regular photo and video updates throughout the stay. I'm also always happy to set up a FaceTime so you can check in and say hello while you're away. Whether your dog is a bundle of energy or more of a couch cuddle-bug, I'll make sure they're happy, looked after, and treated like one of my own while you're away. Drop me a message - I'd love to hear about them! Dog care is woven into my whole day. I'm in a dog-friendly office, so your pup comes with me to a dedicated 'dog only' pen area rather than being left home alone. We head out for an extended bathroom potty-break walk at lunchtime, then home in the evening to a fenced garden for plenty of exploring. We do minimum 1 proper walk a day, with 3 parks all within walking distance from our house to choose from. Mornings, evenings, and weekends are full of play, engagement, and downtime on the couch. Overnight boarding - your dog's home away from home: Overnight stays are what I do best. My husband and I travel a fair bit ourselves, so we know exactly how it feels to leave your dog behind - and how much it matters to have someone you and your dog(s) genuinely trust. When your pup stays with us, they're treated like one of our own: full days of walks, play, and company, comfy couches and beds to relax on, and a secure home with a fully fenced garden. You'll never be left wondering how they're doing either. I send regular photo and video updates throughout the stay and I'm always happy to set up a FaceTime so you can check in and say hello while you're away. I also offer doggy daycare, but overnight boarding is my heart and focus. Your dog will be in a secure, dog savvy home with a fully fenced garden (1.2-2m all the way around) for safe exploring - though they're never out unsupervised. It's a calm household, just me and my husband, no cats or kids, with two friendly resident dogs for easy, sociable company (both of our dogs have a relaxed temperament and very friendly to fit with any personality - Brody is 6 and Kira is 2). During a stay with us, your dog will never be shut away alone. With 8+ years of boarding experience and a lifetime around dogs, I know how to read body language, prevent issues before they start, and keep every dog calm, comfortable, and safe.

Klaudia was amazing. So quick to respond and organise. It was the first time we’ve left our dog with a stranger. She’s an Australian Kelpie that loves long long long walks and games. She had the absolute best time with Klaudia and we were updated with lovely picture and messages throughout. Will 100% be booking guide. The dog can’t wait to go back!

We left our old dog, Cassie, with Scott and his family for nearly three weeks. Cassie bonded well with them and we received updates at regular intervals. We felt very reassured as we were apprehensive about leaving her, as she had not been away before. We would thoroughly recommend Scott and his family as perfect dog sitters.

Can’t thank Sam enough for taking care of Tommy on his first ever overnight stay and treating him like his own! I was a little anxious but Sam was so accommodating, doing whatever he could to make Tommy’s stay a relaxing experience for everyone. Updates were provided to ease my mind and ultimately Tommy had the best time hanging out with Sam and going on some exciting new walks. 10/10 will definitely be booking in again! ☺️
