We had a wonderful experience with Rachael taking care of Molly. From the moment we met her, it was clear how dedicated and passionate she is about what she does. She took the time to tell us about her background and experience, which immediately made us feel at ease. She was incredibly kind and welcoming with Molly, making sure she felt comfortable right away. Throughout the stay, Rachael kept us updated with messages and photos, which we really appreciated. We highly recommend her, and in fact, we’ve already booked Molly’s next stay with her because we were so happy with the care she provided.

This was my second time sending my dog Captain to Angela and her family and they did an amazing job again. He was well and truly looked after and he seemed to remember and settle with the family really easily again. I got lots of updates and photos during the week and could tell how much love and care my Captain was getting. I can't thank Angela enough and absolutely recommend her for other dog owners. I'll absolutely be booking with her again!

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,

Sharon is the first person I've used on the app and she was absolutely brilliant! She immediately made me feel comfortable, and kept in touch whilst I was away sending photos and videos of my pup with her family, on walks and looking very content which eased my nerves. Sharon was really accommodating when we were caught in traffic and unable to make it back at the stated time. Thank you Sharon for making Hollie so welcome.

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: We are Marta and Jay, partners and dog owners working from home. We have been dog walking and looking after pets for a couple of years now. We both grew up with dogs, big and small, and now own a 2 year old German Shepherd Fred and 5 month old Cockerpoo puppy Ulu. Thanks to this we know how to take care of dogs of all breeds, sizes and temperaments! We both work from home so our schedule is really flexible and I’m sure we can adapt to you and your pets needs. We would be more than happy to make your time away less stressful by providing the best care possible for your pet! :) We live in a house with a fully fenced garden, where dogs are allowed on all furniture and can provide crates if needed. Message us and we can figure out all the details. Please note before booking house sitting - due to our other dog walks, we might have to pop out for a couple of hours at a time. We are both working full time but have a pretty flexible working schedule. Please feel free to send us a message and we’re sure we can make your schedule work. We can drop in and check on your pets, play with them, and feed them or care for them when you’re away. Also, we can walk your pet and play with them to provide them with the physical and cognitive exercise. Let us know if you’d like us to train your pet too, we’d be happy to! We’re experienced with anxious and reactive pets and can help both you and your pet feel at ease.

About: I'm David, currently completing my professional dog trainer certification. I offer patient, structured care for dogs of all ages and temperaments — from energetic pups needing a good walk to older dogs who just want a calm, familiar face. My training background means I'm confident handling leash manners, basic obedience, and dogs who need a bit of extra structure or reassurance while their owners are away. Based in Poole, I treat every dog in my care like my own — with consistency, patience, and genuine attention. Monday to Thursday is when I'm most available for drop-ins. I also work night shifts on weekends, so I can fit in daytime visits before my shift starts on those days too. I keep a consistent schedule so your dog can rely on the same times and pace each visit, and I'm happy to discuss specific timing needs before booking to make sure it works for both of us. Your dog's safety is my top priority. I use secure leashes and harnesses, avoid off-lead situations unless explicitly agreed with you, and stay alert to other dogs, traffic, and wildlife on every walk. I'm currently completing professional dog trainer certification, which means I'm trained to read canine body language and step in early if a situation looks like it could escalate.

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: 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: 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.

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 😊

Guoda and her husband were very good with our energetic puppy Lab, they understood his puppy like behaviour and kept me updated to reassure me that he had settled ok. The communication was always good. Wybie seemed very happy.

Super hosts. Looked after Speccy like one of their own. Loads of walks, washed her afterwards( she’s a mud magnet) and sent us plenty of photos and videos throughout the day. Very flexible on the timings and very easy to deal with. Secure garden within range of good walks. Highly recommend and will be using again . Thanks N and A!! Martin

Angelika took a last minute booking from us as we had a late change of plans. We hung out whilst the dogs got to know each other and when we were all happy everybody was getting along, we left Red with them for the day. He had a great time and we were very happy. Fully recommend!

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: 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: [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 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 a wonderful experience with Rachael taking care of Molly. From the moment we met her, it was clear how dedicated and passionate she is about what she does. She took the time to tell us about her background and experience, which immediately made us feel at ease. She was incredibly kind and welcoming with Molly, making sure she felt comfortable right away. Throughout the stay, Rachael kept us updated with messages and photos, which we really appreciated. We highly recommend her, and in fact, we’ve already booked Molly’s next stay with her because we were so happy with the care she provided.

This was my second time sending my dog Captain to Angela and her family and they did an amazing job again. He was well and truly looked after and he seemed to remember and settle with the family really easily again. I got lots of updates and photos during the week and could tell how much love and care my Captain was getting. I can't thank Angela enough and absolutely recommend her for other dog owners. I'll absolutely be booking with her again!

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,

She immediately made me feel comfortable, and kept in touch whilst I was away sending photos and videos of my pup with her family, on walks and looking very content which eased my nerves. Sharon was really accommodating when we were caught in traffic and unable to make it back at the stated time. Thank you Sharon for making Hollie so welcome.

About: 2 for the price of 1! We are a couple who love dogs. We have had our own dogs previously and are very excited to look after and care for your dog when you need it. Great 1 level home with easy step out into the garden. Local park only 200 meters away as well as the beach a ten minute drive. Looked after various breeds and sizes in the past including miniature schnauzers, soft coated wheaten terriers, chocolate labradors, springer spaniels and staffys to name a few. We have also looked after dogs in their old age with various medical issues and administered medication as needed. My partner Gillian and I both have work from home days, we are available fully on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, some Fridays and our weekends are free. We do not have any children. Our offices are a 5 minute drive from home so we can get back to the house on office days very quickly for toilet breaks, feeding time etc. On weekends we are active but also like our rest time so are very flexible to accommodate your dog. Gill loves to paint animals too so if you would like a portrait painting of your loved one then just ask! We have a fenced garden with a lot of room for running around, our property is on one level so no stairs to worry about. There is also a park approximately 200 meters away on our road for walks and exercise. No pets currently so our home will be solely for your pet and all attention will be on them. I hope this gives you a good idea of how your dog will be looked after. If you have any questions then please message us and we will be happy to give you any information you need.

If you need a kind, professional dog sitter and trainer, look no further than David. He took on our newly rescued dog (urgently) with behavioural issues and worked absolute wonders. He was so kind, understanding, and professional from the very first moment. Our dog improved impressively during his stay. David also spent time coaching us on how to practice at home. Super professional and genuinely nice—we highly recommend him!

Luca had the best ‘stay vacation’ with Niels, Tania and Sophia and of course Coco, their wonderful lab. Tania was great sending photos of their activities over the 3 days and it was clear when we picked him up, how happy and at home he felt…particularly when she treated them to water melon 🍉! Luca would love to come and stay again…for sure 😊
