“What a lovely couple. My dog has had a fantastic time. He's come home exhausted after a very long walk. From the photos I have been sent, I can see he thoroughly enjoyed his walks. He was welcomed into their home and treated as though he was their own. It was clear to me that they are dog sitting because they love dogs. I am so happy that my dog was so well looked after. Thank you Sam and Katherine x”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and love animals (unless they are rodents!) Ive had experience from 5 week old pups all the way to caring for dogs in their senior years, giving medication, insulin injections etc. After losing our beloved 16 year old Patterdale last year, it’s left a big hole and as much as we don’t feel ready to bring another dog into our lives just yet, I’m certainly missing my dog fix. My dog came before everything - just ask my husband! 🤣 And I will treat yours no different. We are an early rising household so you can drop off as early as you like. We are an active house. I work from home so generally will be able to accommodate walks and feeding at their usual times so not to disrupt their routines. There will be times when I need to go out so a dog that is happy to be left for a couple of hours would fit in nicely but if this isn’t possible I can probably work around it with some notice. Daycare and overnight boarding is available and we are central Yeovil based and easy to find. We have a reasonable size garden with grass and patio, with a mix of sun and shade. The garden is fully secure. Within walking distance of the house there is a small field, a park and plenty of pavement walks. Ham Hill Country Park is only a short drive away so if you’d like them walked here your dog will need to be crate trained for the car journey. All walks will be done on a lead for all of our peace of mind! Inside the house it’s open plan living so your dog will have the run of the ground floor with the exception of my treatment room. The upstairs will remain out of bounds.

About: I have 1 gorgeous Goldador at home.I have experience with newborn puppies as my parents oldest dog has had 2 litters (1st with 10 puppies (1 of them is my fur baby!) and 2nd with 7) so I am capable of looking after lots of dogs at a time and can handle stressful situations. All of my dogs are active at and when at home I take them on long walks daily and make sure they are mentally stimulated. Both of them are very well behaved and I trained them myself and to a very high standard (can do a variety of tricks). I love dogs all shapes and sizes and can easily adapt to any situation.

“Cuba had such a great time, I think he was reluctant to come home. Victoria took really good care of him and went far beyond just boarding him with walks playtime and everything. I cannnot recommen d her highly enough. Cuba agrees. Woof woof”
“This was our first time using Rover as our usual house sitter was not available and was unsure whether this way would be suitable or not. The first person we saw on here was Barbara who instantly felt would be a good match for our little Bertie and had high hopes. When Barbara invited us to come and meet her any hesitancy instantly disappeared and definitely had no concerns about leaving him. You just know when someone is a doggy person or not and could just sense any dog left in Barbara’s care would certainly be well looked after. When collecting him yesterday, I felt he enjoyed himself that much that he didn’t want to leave. I am so happy that Bertie has had a great stay and been very well looked after and have no doubts at all that Barbara is the perfect person to look after our Bertie. Just looking at dates when he can stay again and the only downside to all these good reviews is she will get booked up even quicker!”

“This is our second booking with Melonie and was for an overnight this time. Very responsive communication beforehand and our dog enjoyed the sleepover with other dogs. Highly recommended as a pet sitter. Thanks again Melonie.”
“I can't recommend Izzy enough! This was my first Rover experience and Izzy made it such an enjoyable one. She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and went above and beyond in caring for my puppy Ernie over the holidays. I will most definitely be using Izzy again in the future to dogsit - thanks so much for everything Izzy!”

I like nothing better than to be out in the fresh air normally accompanied by my gorgeous Viszla. I am currently not working so am at home and free all day. I walk my dog twice a day for an hour at a time. I have an enclosed garden and a very friendly Viszla who is very sociable and on dry days spends most of it outside. Her choice.

“Emma was absolutely amazing with my three cats over three days of drop ins. I was really nervous about leaving them as I had never done so before, but after meeting in person and checking out the daily updates to see how happy my cats were, I realised I had nothing to worry about at all! Emma provided regular updates and pictures and clearly took the time to gain each of my cats trust, played with them and gave them treats! Will be using Emma again and would recommend her to anyone! Thank you again Emma 🐱❤️”
About: I have had cats since I was a baby .i have experience with medications , litter cleaning ,endless amounts of playing . Lots of kitten cuddles and of course cat cuddles but also give them space when they need it .
About: Hello! I am a dog and cat lover, and have lots of experience with both kinds of pets. I have spent a lot of time with my aunts dogs - Labradors and mixes - some of whom have struggled with anxiety. My aunts dogs have primarily been Guide Dog rejects, they have gone through the training but ultimately didn’t pass their tests. I also have experience dog/house sitting for up to a week. My family has a cat and I have volunteered at cat shelters previously so I’m well equipped to care for cats too. In my free time I love to run, read, and do yoga, and I have lots of energy so I’m ready to tire out your pup. I am available days/evenings Mon-Fri.
About: I once owned a rescue cat called Jinx who lived to an old age, had fangs like a vampire and a white patch of fur shaped as a bow tie against his black fur. I loved seeing him grow with confidence and I still tell people how he used to follow me on walks like a dog and wake me up with poking his nose on my face every morning! Cats are very individual - they either love attention or just want you for food but I always try and make friends with them! My friends think I'm a cat whisperer as they always love coming up to me!
“Annabelle has taken great care of our dog Lance, he loves her company and she takes the time to make sure he has proper play time during the drop in sessions. I would highly recommend her looking after your pup!”
“Emily was super amazing with my bouncy belle & cant thank her enough,especially at such short notice.i was kept up to date with everything & i could relax knowing belle was being well taken care of i would highly recommend emily & will definately be booking again in the future!many thanks,vicky & belle xx”
“Tianna took really good care of my little girly. Even though the weather was really hot and couldn't go out for walks, she made sure Tilly had the best of time with one-one play.”
About: I’ve rescued cats my entire life and it’s my dream to one day have my own rescue centre. For the time being I have my own two little babies, my dear old cat who passed last year had strict diet and medication due to allergies, so I’m well experienced in caring for those with slightly more hands on needs!
About: Having grown up with cats from day 1, I have over 20 years of looking after cats as part of the family. From those that need their space, to those that need that extra cuddle.From kittens to the elderly cat, they all deserve the same love and attention.
“So happy to have found Alannya at short notice to look after our GSDx Bear. We got loads of photo updates, communication was spot on and I left the house feeling super comfortable and happy knowing Bear was in safe hands. Highly recommend x”
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats at home, so caring for animals has been a natural part of my life. I’ve also looked after pets for friends, family and neighbours, helping with feeding, walks, playtime and overnight care. I’m especially confident with puppies and senior pets, and understand the extra patience and attention they need. I’m calm, reliable and genuinely love animals, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Everyone around me will agree that I am absolutely obsessed with animals. Any animal that has come into my care has had a life of luxury. My partner and I have had endless comments on how well behaved our dogs are. My experience ranges from young dogs through to senior dogs, Including cats and sadly we lost my old cat last year. He was my best friend and the attachment we had was rare. I think about him every day. My senior dog is supported when she has harder days, especially when certain walks can be challenging for her. I will carry her up bigger steps and walk at her pace. Like humans we get bored with the same routine and so we vary the walks we go on. Whether it is a trip to the beach, a walk in the woods or running around an open field, rest assured they will have plenty of fun. I also work part-time in care and my dogs like to come with me, they are such good therapy. I will happily walk a client's dog as I like to help out where I can. My parents live locally and will quiet often have our dogs as company, they recently lost their dog and the loss has left a hole in their hearts. I will always take any instructions seriously and what wish for your pet is my command. I want you and your pet to feel comfortable knowing they will get the best care. ANY animal in my care will be loved and cherished like my own. I have plenty of free time. My partner takes our dogs to work and they also stay part-time with my parents. We don't have children and very little commitments. I work part-time and I luckily have flexibility from day to day. I have all the right safety measures in place. This includes plenty of room and 0.25 acres of land with plenty of local walks. My garden is secure.
About: I’ve worked in animal rescue so I’m very used to a wide variety of dogs, breed and size. Also worked with a variety of needs also. I have my own dogs. One since a pup who was challenging and then became reactive. She is doing amazing now! And I have a foreign rescue who posed many opposite challenges so I’m able to adapt to the dogs needs. I have ten years experience in the nhs but I’m looking at going into a career with dogs now. It’s my main passion. I’ve been told I’m very calm and patient with dogs which draws many dogs to me. I have attended all sorts of workshops and classes with my own dogs including: puppy/adolescent classes, trick training, parkour, scentwork, mantrailing, barnhunt, Canicross, paddle boarding, agility and hoopers to name a few. I try and include things I think your dog may enjoy on our walks. I have completed many online courses from canine first aid, canine body language and behaviour and dog walking. I have also spent a lot of time observing behaviourists, trainers, walkers, vets, vet nurses, hydrotherapists and physios to gain as much knowledge and experience as I can. I’m currently doing odd bits of work with dogs including training/behaviour work with supervision and hydrotherapy/physio assistant work. So my diary is currently very flexible. I know lots of local walks and I’m very used to finding quieter walks if that’s what a dog needs. I also know good busier areas for bits of dog training depending on the dogs requirements. I also live on private land with some secure fields so that is an option also.
“Mattie did a lovely job caring for our darling girl. We came home to a very happy cat and a tidy home. I appreciated our photo updates and that Mattie was on-time to the reservation. 10/10! ”

About: I am a caring, responsible animal lover who has grown up around pets and understands how important trust, patience, and gentleness are. I treat every animal with genuine love, attention, and respect. I’m experienced in providing age appropriate care, ensuring young pets stay engaged, even supporting training and senior pets feeling comfortable, safe and well looked after. As a university student home for the summer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of time, consistent attention, and reliable, loving care for your pets. Pets are safe and well cared for in our home of three girls, where they receive constant supervision (including a fenced garden), gentle handling, plenty of attention, and a calm, loving environment. While i’m home, I live in a safe, calm home with my mum, providing a secure and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and well cared for.
About: I raised my 5 year old cocker spaniel, who loves ditch-the-bowl training. I'm a freelance outdoor instructor offering stimulating, long winter walks with new scents to enrich happy dogs. My two dogs enjoy morning and evening walks. With the garden always open, I provide 1-2 long weekday walks and adventurous weekend outings away from Sherborne. My garden is fenced, so they cannot escape. My two dogs will keep your dog company who are both very friendly and are used to other dogs staying. If they were to travel in the van I have seat belt clips, clips and a crate in the rear. I have a crate if your dog needs it's own space in the house too (Rusty sleeps under the stairs and Indi can sleep in our bedroom, so your dog can either sleep in the kitchen or living room). If you needed me to stay at your house, then I don't have to bring my dogs as my partner also works from home. We love dogs! We don't have children so they get a lot of fuss. I tend to use kibble/treats on their first walk with a retractable lead, to get a sense of recall and connection with the dog.
“Thank you for looking after my beautiful husky. He seemed calm and happy so thumbs up from him... that's all that matters really, a happy dog. We will be back when next in that area... yep, I gave up the job this morning !!”

The garden is fully secure. Within walking distance of the house there is a small field, a park and plenty of pavement walks. Ham Hill Country Park is only a short drive away so if you’d like them walked here your dog will need to be crate trained for the car journey. All walks will be done on a lead for all of our peace of mind! Inside the house it’s open plan living so your dog will have the run of the ground floor with the exception of my treatment room. The upstairs will remain out of bounds.
About: DBS Checked | Fully Insured | Driving Licence | Own Vehicle | 5 Years Animal Rescue Volunteering | Right to Work in the UK I have been surrounded by animals since early childhood and have always cared for both dogs and cats. Throughout my life, I’ve lived with one, two, and sometimes even three dogs at the same time of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, so I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I have completed basic dog training courses and spent 10 years volunteering at a dog and cat shelter, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals, supporting rescues, and helping with adoption processes. I am confident handling both small and large dogs and can comfortably walk multiple dogs at once in a safe and calm manner. I genuinely love spending time with animals — whether that’s going for long walks, playing, providing companionship, or simply making them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am patient, attentive, and reliable, and I always make sure pets receive plenty of care, affection, exercise, and attention. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, and I will always treat your pets as if they were my own. I would be delighted to help care for your furry family members. I am currently not working, which means I can fully dedicate my time and attention to caring for pets. I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekends, for walks, drop-ins, daycare, or overnight care. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I would love to make pet care my long-term profession. In the near future, I am planning to take professional canine behaviour and dog training courses to further improve my knowledge and skills as a future dog trainer. I always make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship, while following their usual routines to help them feel comfortable and secure. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident and relaxed when leaving their pets in someone else’s care, so I always provide a calm, caring, and reliable environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walking routines, medication, training, and any special requirements. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments, including energetic dogs, shy pets, and senior animals. During walks, I stay attentive and safety-conscious at all times, and I am comfortable handling multiple dogs when needed. I also make sure pets receive regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can feel reassured while they are away. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect, as if they were my own.

“Stanley had his first visit with Sarah today. I think he had the best time even though the weather was poor. Sarah gave him plenty of play time and affection and they are now firm friends.

“Elissia was great with our 2 year old (slightly excitable) Australian Kelpie! Booked in a little last minute but had plenty of fast and quick communications. It's the first time we've left our dog with anyone other than friends or family and would be happy to use Elissia again for Doggy Day Care or Boarding. Enjoyed the photo updates from his stay Thanks again!”

Really very happy indeed and i am pretty sure Daisy was too!”

“Emma looked after our two dogs while we were away, taking them out for their daily walks or just playing with them due to the heat. This was the first time anyone outside of our family had walked them, and it was clear from the updates and photos that they had an amazing time in Emma’s care. We were kept informed every day with messages and pictures, which gave us complete peace of mind. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Emma again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional pet care. Thank you, Emma!”

“Zoe was able to walk my dog last minute as I had to leave him at home unexpectedly. He is a bit of an anxious dog and Zoe took the time to let him get comfortable with her and sent me written updates and pictures :)”
“I’m really happy with Tianna's help walking Vixen . She went out of her way to assist, even though it was a bit far for her this time. Tianna suggested day care as a better option for socialisation, which shows how much she cares about what’s best for the dogs. Nala, Tianna's dog, is already used to being around other dogs, so this was perfect. I would definitely use Tianna’s services again—she’s thoughtful, professional, and clearly loves what she does!”
About: I have always had dogs, amongst various other animals, growing up and have been given responsibility with them from a young age. Over the last four/five years I have done various dog and house sitting, for a range of times and with up to two dogs. I am currently doing a Uni course with the Open University therefore all online. Which means I have plenty of time to play with and prioritise your pets. I will only be dog sitting in others houses and I don’t have the room in my own home but anything that is needed for you dog will be done.
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs, I adopted a rescue pup 8 years ago who lives with my Dad. I miss him so much and would love to spread some love to some other cats and doggies in my area. I work as a freelancer so my work is online and I choose my hours, meaning I have lots of flexibility to add some extra joy into my days. I have experience with reactive dogs and while I can’t offer boarding in my own home, I find that animals are much more comfortable in their own homes and surrounding areas. If your dog is particularly reactive to new people, I am happy to set up a meeting beforehand in a neutral setting to get them familiar with me.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a while, i’m patient and will understand any needs you may described from me. From Tibetan Terriers to Rottweilers. I currently work 7:30am-4:00pm Monday-Friday. So early morning or late afternoon suits me best and any time on the weekends i’m easy going really. I don’t personally own a dog at the moment but i’m mainly into walking dogs so it’s just that for the time being
About: Everyone around me will agree that I am absolutely obsessed with animals. Any animal that has come into my care has had a life of luxury. My partner and I have had endless comments on how well behaved our dogs are. My experience ranges from young dogs through to senior dogs, Including cats and sadly we lost my old cat last year. He was my best friend and the attachment we had was rare. I think about him every day. My senior dog is supported when she has harder days, especially when certain walks can be challenging for her. I will carry her up bigger steps and walk at her pace. Like humans we get bored with the same routine and so we vary the walks we go on. Whether it is a trip to the beach, a walk in the woods or running around an open field, rest assured they will have plenty of fun. I also work part-time in care and my dogs like to come with me, they are such good therapy. I will happily walk a client's dog as I like to help out where I can. My parents live locally and will quiet often have our dogs as company, they recently lost their dog and the loss has left a hole in their hearts. I will always take any instructions seriously and what wish for your pet is my command. I want you and your pet to feel comfortable knowing they will get the best care. ANY animal in my care will be loved and cherished like my own. I have plenty of free time. My partner takes our dogs to work and they also stay part-time with my parents. We don't have children and very little commitments. I work part-time and I luckily have flexibility from day to day. I have all the right safety measures in place. This includes plenty of room and 0.25 acres of land with plenty of local walks. My garden is secure.
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!
About: I've taken care of all types of dogs from the age of 18, looking after my parents small dogs (Cavaliers) and large dogs (standard poodles) for months at a time when they would go on holiday. I have carried numerous dog / house sits for friends and family, ranging from small to big dogs, puppies and cats. In 2025 and early 2026, I travelled for 10 months around Europe, New Zealand and Australia and was hired for 5 x dog sits in Australia over the last 2 months of my stay. Two 10 day sits, and three 3-6 day sits. I have experience with handling and administering medication, with a recent sit, all three pets requiring AM and PM medication. I work remotely from my laptop full time, so can give around the clock attention to your beloved pets & take great care of your house. I am incredibly organized, neat and tidy. Early morning person who can adapt to any pet's routine. I am great at sending updates during a sit, so if you wish to only receive one update and one photo please let me know and I'll make sure not to send any more than this! If you have a particularly shy or harder dog to deal with then please do not hesitate to contact me as I am confident and love a challenge. Barking does not bother me as it is just them expressing how they are feeling.

“What a lovely couple. My dog has had a fantastic time. He's come home exhausted after a very long walk. From the photos I have been sent, I can see he thoroughly enjoyed his walks. He was welcomed into their home and treated as though he was their own. It was clear to me that they are dog sitting because they love dogs. I am so happy that my dog was so well looked after. Thank you Sam and Katherine x”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and love animals (unless they are rodents!) Ive had experience from 5 week old pups all the way to caring for dogs in their senior years, giving medication, insulin injections etc. After losing our beloved 16 year old Patterdale last year, it’s left a big hole and as much as we don’t feel ready to bring another dog into our lives just yet, I’m certainly missing my dog fix. My dog came before everything - just ask my husband! 🤣 And I will treat yours no different. We are an early rising household so you can drop off as early as you like. We are an active house. I work from home so generally will be able to accommodate walks and feeding at their usual times so not to disrupt their routines. There will be times when I need to go out so a dog that is happy to be left for a couple of hours would fit in nicely but if this isn’t possible I can probably work around it with some notice. Daycare and overnight boarding is available and we are central Yeovil based and easy to find. We have a reasonable size garden with grass and patio, with a mix of sun and shade. The garden is fully secure. Within walking distance of the house there is a small field, a park and plenty of pavement walks. Ham Hill Country Park is only a short drive away so if you’d like them walked here your dog will need to be crate trained for the car journey. All walks will be done on a lead for all of our peace of mind! Inside the house it’s open plan living so your dog will have the run of the ground floor with the exception of my treatment room. The upstairs will remain out of bounds.
“Kate made me feel at ease as soon as I met her. Monty took to her straight away and I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again. She kept me updated with lovely photos of Monty, who looked so happy with her and her Partner . Monty will definitely become a regular visitor !”

I will follow how the owner would like me to care for their animal wether it’s in my own home or in their home. I would not care for an animal in a way the owner did not like or want.

“This is our second booking with Melonie and was for an overnight this time. Very responsive communication beforehand and our dog enjoyed the sleepover with other dogs. Highly recommended as a pet sitter. Thanks again Melonie.”
About: I’ve grown up and looked after dogs my whole life. All shapes and sizes. I am fortunate to have a large fenced garden and surround by nothing but fields. I like nothing better than to be out in the fresh air normally accompanied by my gorgeous Viszla. I am currently not working so am at home and free all day. I walk my dog twice a day for an hour at a time. I have an enclosed garden and a very friendly Viszla who is very sociable and on dry days spends most of it outside. Her choice.
“Fiona was wonderful with my little elderly dachshund He is quite anxious but Fiona took good care of him with plenty of cuddles She was very accommodating to any special requests and requirements for him I felt very comfortable leaving him in Fiona’s care I would not hesitate to have Fiona look after him again”
“Felt 100% confident leaving my dog with Elissia and her lovely springer Maya. Excellent communication before and during the booking. She sent photos of Paddy looking happy and chilled. Would definitely recommend!”
“Tianna looked after our dog really well when we were away for the night. We got videos and photos sent as well as a couple of updates so we were reassured how she was getting on. She was really tired when we got home so know that she had lots of fun playing with Nala! Would def recommend.”
“Dotty loved staying overnight with Sarah. We were really nervous having to find someone new having moved house- but Sarah was great. I met with her prior to Dotty’s stay and felt completely reassured by her attention to detail regarding Dotty’s normal daily schedule and idiosyncratic personality. Totally lovely person who Dotty couldn’t wait to see again when we dropped her off - she rushed in and made herself totally at home. We are very glad (and relieved) to have found Sarah.”
“Ryanne had petal for me for eleven nights and while away kept me informed of how she was and what her days were like. I can see she’s been well looked after and spoilt in their care. Will be in no doubt to leave petal again with Ryanne. Highly recommend. Thank you”
“Nick and his family looked after our boys so well. We got a lot of pictures while we were away of them on adventures, whether it was on a woodland walk, cuddles in the house or playing ball in an enclosed field so they could be off the lead. It looked like the boys enjoyed their holiday too!”
“Frances looked after Ruby for us overnight at very short notice, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. She was friendly, reliable, and Ruby was well looked after. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Frances to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter, and we’d be delighted to book with her again in the future.”
