I left him for just over 3 weeks and I had regular updates and photos of Billy out on walks and playing. I would definitely recommend Joyce as a dog sitter, I know if I ever need anyone I shall always ask Joyce first.”
About: I was brought up with dogs and they have always been part of my family. I love and enjoy spending time with dogs. Taking them for walks, playing with them and generally spending time getting to know them! I only work part time so I have plenty time for long dog walks in the beautiful local country side. All dogs will be loved and cared for as part of our family. We have a large detached house with an enclosed back garden with many exciting walks nearby. We would only be able to accept dogs who are good with children. I'm currently working part-time so have plenty of time for enjoying the outdoors walking or cycling. This is made even more enjoyable when accompanied by wagging tails. I have a fenced garden accessible at all times through a medium sized doggie door and two resident Border Terriers to provide company. The dogs have free reign of the house and furniture. We live near so many amazing walking routes and locations that our dog walks are always varied and exciting.

“Katie is such a great person and was so welcoming, friendly, calm and positive about having my dog for the weekend. I knew Bella was in safe hands and could really enjoy my trip knowing that Bella was well looked after and happy. I would highly recommend Katie for anyone else who is thinking of going away and needs someone to look after their dog!”
“Willow had a lovely time with Beth and Dan and their red fox lab Darcy. Willow is a very bouncy 5 month old working cocker spaniel and I was concerned she would be too annoying. However, it seems that Darcy and Willow had a lovely time playing and the photos and videos they sent showed willow looking quite calm at times which is rare! Beth and Dan have had lots of experience with many breeds of dogs and put my mind at ease when we visited for a meet and greet. I would happily have Willow stay with them again as I know she’d have a great time.”
“Nataya looked after Nellie brilliantly!! We appreciated the lovely pictures of Nellie looking happy and very relaxed while we were away. Nellie would definitely be happy to come for a holiday again x”
“Melissa was great with our energetic one-year-old Goldendoodle, Schopenhauer. It was his first time staying with a sitter and we were a bit worried about how he'd settle, but Mel gave him loads of attention and some lovely long walks and kept us updated throughout his overnight stay. We will definitely ask Mel to look after him again!”
About: My friends know how much I like dogs and always ask me to look in on their dogs and sometimes to stay overnight with them while they are either at work or away on a trip. I retired 10 years ago and keep myself busy with musical interests and an exercise class most of Mondays to Wednesdays till around 2.30pm. I am free from Thursday to Sunday most weeks. I lost my lovely dog in November and want to continue to be in touch with dogs as much as possible. I walked my dog daily. As I don't have a fenced garden I always took my dog out on a lead yo the garden. I let her off the lead where I walked in the fields nearby, once her recall Wass good.
“I was worried about how my dog would be in a new place because hes not good with strangers but he really took to Georgie and her family. i got multiple photos and updates every day. i truly couldn't be happier with their service with my tucker. 1000/10 reccomend we will be using her again in the future.”
About: I have had dogs all of my life, all different shapes, sizes and personalities. I have had my current love (dog) for eight years, he is a Spanish rescue dog, a small jack Russell terrier, that I adore and he goes every where with me. Your dog will have good company as he is used to mixing with all dogs and is very calm. My dog has medication twice a day and veterinary food, so im happy to have dogs that need this also. I go on lovely long walks in the country every day as my flat is on the cotswolds way. Although it is classed as a flat it has its own entrance and lovely private garden. I am not currently working and so have plenty of flexible time. Caring for dogs has got be the most rewarding experience out there! Your dog will be safe and happy in my home. I walk my own dog first thing in the morning and then again around lunch time and after dinner. I have a pet friendly property with a lovely fenced garden. I am a keen walker and when not snuggled up with my dog I'm usually out walking across open fields with him. My garden has a gravel floor so its ideal for toilet breaks in-between walks if tour dog needs this additionally.
“Highly recommend Mark and Helen for their fantastic care of my pesky little dogs for ten days. Pre visit was a great idea, they strolled in pre holiday with no qualms!”

Following an initial visit to meet us and the cats, Alex kept in regular touch and we were grateful of the updates and photos she provided. Overall, I would not hesitate in recommending Alex.”

“Liz is great. She visited Fivey twice a day for a weekend and not only administered his injections, checked his food, water and litter but also spent time playing with him and giving him some company. Five took to Liz straightaway which is unusual. Very trustworthy and a thoughtful individual. Would recommend to look after any pet. Will be using Liz again”

About: I've been surrounded by dogs my whole life. We got our first family dog when I was 15 and she became the best friend I needed at that time to get me out the house, play and lift me out of the teenage depression I was in at the time. Since then I have further cared for pooches for family and friends and in the past 5 years have completed house sits across the country for both dogs and cats as well as lived with a few more of them myself. Everywhere I go they keep appearing! People would describe me as gentle, sensitive and dedicated in my work. I am receptive to all of your pets needs and will take care of them wholeheartedly. When you hire me to look after your pet you can rest assured that they will be loved. I'm currently working part-time and flexibly so simply let me know your requirements and I'll get back to you ASAP. I charge a lot more for house sits due to consistent level of care and attention I provide. I ask the owner to provide clear instructions regarding any health and medical needs and anything out the usual. Unless indicated otherwise, I will always keep your dog on the lead, especially to begin with. If trust is developing well and recall is already in place then we can talk about offering more freedom on walks if that is what you would like.

About: Hi! My name is Dan, and I’m a passionate and reliable dog lover offering personalized dog walking, daycare, and boarding services. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, I understand that every pup is unique and deserves loving, attentive care—whether it's a fun walk, a cozy overnight stay, or daily check-ins while you're away. Safety, comfort, and tail wags are my top priorities, and I treat every dog like part of my own family. I'm here to give you peace of mind and your dog a happy, stress-free experience! Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. Although I work full time, I have a flexible schedule and the ability to work from home several days a week, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. Whether it’s fitting in walks during lunch breaks, early morning drop-ins, or evening playtime and overnight stays, I’m able to plan my day around the needs of each dog. My flexible hours mean I can provide consistent, attentive care—even on short notice—while ensuring pets feel safe, loved, and well looked after. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a pet owner’s home, I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and loving environment that helps each animal feel comfortable and secure. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, relax, and receive one-on-one attention, along with regular walks and a consistent routine. When caring for pets in their own home, I stick closely to their usual schedule, feeding routines, and comfort habits to minimize stress and maintain their sense of normalcy. I always make sure to keep open communication with pet parents, providing regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while they’re away.
“Hannah was a perfect match for looking after Mazzy whilst I visited family over Christmas. Clear, friendly communication before and during, attending to a couple of requests after an had left. Highly recommended and shall call on Hannah again.”
About: I have 5 granddogs, 2 grandcats, 2 grandpigs, 2 goddogs and numerous canine and cat nephews and nieces (not blood of course, they are the furry kids of my friends). They’re family 😁 Usually only available between June and January as I live in Colombia January to May. However do feel free to ask, especially if the dates that you require are close to the limits. If I'm here I can adapt my schedule. I work remotely as a geeky historical writer, so can be pretty much anywhere and what can be better than doing that whilst making new furry friends. I treat them as family, except when the sharing of food is the question. I don’t share food, just like my English goddog, Percy, doesn’t share his bone. With regard to communication - the number listed is now obsolete - my new number is Colombian because I live in Colombia for six months each year - Unfortunately Rover does not have a Colombia option. So best to email me or communicate through Rover.
“Sophie was absolutely brilliant for an overnight stay while we were away for the weekend. She sent us some lovely updates and the cats were very very content when we returned. Thank you Sophie, looking forward to having you back.”

“Stanley loved his stay at Danielle's - I think he has been missing being part of a group, my older dog passed and my daughter's dog moved out with her, so he enjoyed the company. Danielle is very knowledgeable about dogs and she is helpful in assessing and monitoring his recovery from an injury.”

About: We have been a family complete with dogs until May 2025. We miss the companion & I want to offer love & joy for other pets into our life's in our safe space of home. I have raised a larger Doberman & a springer in the last 20+ years. I have also been raised with other breads such as Golden Labrador, German shepherd, Staffies, Jack Russell’s & pugs. Each of our family pets attended puppy school & was crate trained. Both really good & gentle whilst supervised at all times around babies, children, adults & other dogs. Due to old age & health conditions meant we worked hard as a family to offer our pets the best loving health care in the home to meet their fitness needs & abilities keeping them stimulated & safe in all stages of life. When needed we sought guidance from professionals to ensure the best care & quality of life was provided to our fur babies. This allowed us to be in tune with our pets likes & dislikes, recall & training when off lead along with understanding other ways to appropriately stimulate love & nurture them. Away from the home we created many healthy experiences for them to mix with other pets & various breads, on beach & woodland adventures. Our home was a fun filled exciting space with varied pet characteristics which we miss. Days out exploring, garden water play, grooming & snuggles by the fire have brought much joy to our lives. This is what I offer for your pets when in our home, when under my supervision as the sole care person responsible for your pet when boarding with me. I work from home & can break to walk or step into the garden every 2hrs. The pets can be sat in my presence whilst working & can also be seen with free flow in & out of the property & garden in appropriate weather. I offer great flexibility in boarding 24/7. Last minute care & scheduled bookings are both welcome. I would be able to offer 3pets from the same home at any one time. I am flexible to offer both lead & if well trained with good recall off lead walks twice a day AM & PM. Our home is big & spacious with open living space onto a sundeck, a large front & rear garden fully enclosed for free play, stimulating controlled play, challenges & snoozing in the beautiful South west facing garden after long woodland walks in & around the Cotswold way. My previous springer spaniel was an anxious dog due to an early operation limiting puppy engagement. He required lots of carefully managed rehabilitation & gradual social interaction in his recovery. During this time I learnt to administer medication, implement training, stimulate & exercise him. All to suit his age, pace & needs to make an amazing full recovery to be a super fit & social friendly adult, much loved family pet. During this time we managed his recovery with crate rest & would be happy to provide this for other pets that also board at the home. I have one large crate at the property more would need to be provided. I offer free range of the upstairs living area of our property for the dogs to roam, explore & relax. We sleep down stairs & this area would be off limits to the boarding pets. If this is a preference for your pet when boarding with me, we would be able to discuss suitability. I have no children living in the home (just 3 adult dog lovers). I will be the primary carer for your pet during the board, but pets will be fussed by all. I have some family with children ages 9+ who are comfortable & good with dogs. On the occasional visit we would carefully supervise them around any boarding pets adapting to the pets needs.

“Naomi was incredible with our nervous little dachshund. She took the time to calm and get to know her and clearly has a good affinity with dogs. Naomi also had really clear good communication! She was brilliant, we’d book her again instantly.”
“Liz took real time to get to know my dogs, came prepared with questions that were very thorough, and really engaged with me and my dogs. She took lots of photos that were both adorable and reassuring and was able to accommodate me adding another walk last minute, for which I'm very grateful. She acted professionally and I will be using her again the next time I need.”
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life so have lots of love and experience with them. As soon as I was old enough I started walking dogs for my neighbours and since then have expanded out. I have lots of experience working with adolescent dogs (especially collies) and have handled many different sized breads including Irish wolf hounds. I’ve learnt how to handle them safely on and off lead in many different environments. I studied at Hartpury College for my A-Levels doing an animal management course. I’ve also worked at the RSPCA rescue centre for a couple of years. I love going for long walks and having the company of a four legged friend is an extra bonus! I always want to create a safe and happy environment where your dog can thrive. Flexible working hours. Mainly work week days but can work weekends if needed. I am happy to work around your schedule and help out whenever I can. I have a private field at the back of the house for your dogs to have lots of outside time, with an agility course set up if that's how your doggos like to spend there time! I’m fully insured, dbs checked and canine first aid trained.

About: With years of hands on experience caring for pets of all kinds, I know how important it is to leave your furry family members somewhere they’ll feel safe, happy, and loved. My pet boarding service is more than just a place to stay — it’s a home away from home. I provide personalised care based on each pet’s unique needs, whether that’s extra playtime, medication, special diets, or just lots of cuddles. Having worked with dogs, cats and a variety of small animals, I’m confident in handling pets with different temperaments and routines. When you’re away, I’ll make sure your pets are treated like family — because they are. 🐾 Because I work from home, pet care is naturally part of my daily life. I’m around throughout the day to give pets regular attention, outdoor breaks, playtime, and snuggles — not just at set times. This allows me to keep a close eye on their well-being, follow their usual routines, and give them the comfort of companionship rather than long stretches alone. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily adjust to each pet’s feeding times, walk schedule, or special needs. Whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or quiet evening cuddle time, I make sure every pet feels cared for and included in my daily routine. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, which is why I care for them right in their own home — surrounded by the sights, smells, and routines they already love. I do my best to keep things as normal as possible, from mealtimes and walks to playtime and snuggles, so they feel secure while you’re away. Since I work from home, I get to spend lots of time with your pets during the day, giving them attention, companionship, and plenty of love. I’m also happy to handle any special needs, like medication, special diets, or just extra cuddle breaks. I treat your pets like my own and your home with respect, so you can relax knowing everything (and everyone!) is well cared for until you’re back. 🐾

About: I've been surrounded by dogs my whole life. We got our first family dog when I was 15 and she became the best friend I needed at that time to get me out the house, play and lift me out of the teenage depression I was in at the time. Since then I have further cared for pooches for family and friends and in the past 5 years have completed house sits across the country for both dogs and cats as well as lived with a few more of them myself. Everywhere I go they keep appearing! People would describe me as gentle, sensitive and dedicated in my work. I am receptive to all of your pets needs and will take care of them wholeheartedly. When you hire me to look after your pet you can rest assured that they will be loved. I'm currently working part-time and flexibly so simply let me know your requirements and I'll get back to you ASAP. I charge a lot more for house sits due to consistent level of care and attention I provide. I ask the owner to provide clear instructions regarding any health and medical needs and anything out the usual. Unless indicated otherwise, I will always keep your dog on the lead, especially to begin with. If trust is developing well and recall is already in place then we can talk about offering more freedom on walks if that is what you would like.

“I found Joyce at the last minute before my holiday, we arranged a meet and greet and straight away I knew Billy would be fine with her as within 5 minutes he was going to her for fusses! I left him for just over 3 weeks and I had regular updates and photos of Billy out on walks and playing. I would definitely recommend Joyce as a dog sitter, I know if I ever need anyone I shall always ask Joyce first.”
About: I was brought up with dogs and they have always been part of my family. I love and enjoy spending time with dogs. Taking them for walks, playing with them and generally spending time getting to know them! I only work part time so I have plenty time for long dog walks in the beautiful local country side. All dogs will be loved and cared for as part of our family. We have a large detached house with an enclosed back garden with many exciting walks nearby. We would only be able to accept dogs who are good with children. I'm currently working part-time so have plenty of time for enjoying the outdoors walking or cycling. This is made even more enjoyable when accompanied by wagging tails. I have a fenced garden accessible at all times through a medium sized doggie door and two resident Border Terriers to provide company. The dogs have free reign of the house and furniture. We live near so many amazing walking routes and locations that our dog walks are always varied and exciting.
“Katie is such a great person and was so welcoming, friendly, calm and positive about having my dog for the weekend. I knew Bella was in safe hands and could really enjoy my trip knowing that Bella was well looked after and happy. I would highly recommend Katie for anyone else who is thinking of going away and needs someone to look after their dog!”
“Natalie and Jodie were brilliant with Benny and very welcoming towards him. I had lovely updates and photos. He looked really happy and relaxed with them. I will definitely be booking them, to look after Benny again. I would highly recommend.”

“Another fabulous stay with Lacey and Steve 🥰 Monty thinks this is his second home and certainly treats it that way! I never worry about how he is as I know he is cared for as I would and it’s so reassuring getting the regular updates Lacey sends x”
“Willow had a lovely time with Beth and Dan and their red fox lab Darcy. Willow is a very bouncy 5 month old working cocker spaniel and I was concerned she would be too annoying. However, it seems that Darcy and Willow had a lovely time playing and the photos and videos they sent showed willow looking quite calm at times which is rare! Beth and Dan have had lots of experience with many breeds of dogs and put my mind at ease when we visited for a meet and greet. I would happily have Willow stay with them again as I know she’d have a great time.”
“Sorting out a time was easy and Rachel was very accommodating. My dog stayed with them for 5 nights and had a fantastic time and was well taken care of. I think we've found our new regular place to take care of Biscuit. Thanks!”
“Simba had a great time with Hannah! I really appreciate how well Hannah took care of him—Simba came home happy and completely relaxed. I’ve already booked Simba's future boarding with Hannah, and I fully recommend.”
“Both my dogs have had the best time with Laura. They have been well and truly looked after and spoilt. Staying with Laura it’s like home from home. Both of them were happy and content. Would 100 percent recommend Laura .”
“Kristen was very patient with Treacle and made her feel welcome. I appreciated the daily updates and photos that showed she was having a good time. I have recommended Kristen to other dog walkers, and would have no hesitation leaving Treacle with her again.”
“Marcus and Mia gave my dogs such a loving and safe time when they went to stay. I received up to date information, including a video, that the dogs were happy and enjoying their stay. I'm so appreciative I found such a lovely place for my dogs to stay, where I didn't have to worry about them. I'd 100% recommend Marcus and Mia to look after your dogs if you're looking for somewhere for them to stay. Thank you x”
“Brendan and Ann looked after our dog for a couple of nights while we were away with friends. They were absolutely amazing and couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. You can instantly tell they have years of experience. Our dog is a big chicken with a grumpy terrier personality at times, but they were brilliant with him and we could instantly tell he enjoyed his stay. We wouldn't hesitate to leave Todd with them again and would highly recommend Brendan and Ann to anyone looking for a dog sitter ☺️ Thank you both!! ♥️”
