“Rebecca and Edward were absolutely amazing pet sitters! They treated my boy like a king the entire time I was away and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and comfortable. I loved getting regular photos and videos — it was such a relief knowing he was in safe, loving hands. We came home to a very content pet. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rebecca and Edward to anyone looking for truly caring sitters, and I’ll definitely be booking with them again.”

About: I have been an animal lover since I was a child, and have cared for various animals throughout my life. Although I am new to Rover, I have always been the go-to person to care for family and friends pets, and always treat them as my own. I have experience looking after different dog breeds of varying ages with different energy levels, temperaments and particular needs. If I have the opportunity to spend time with dogs I will take it, even on my travels I will visit a dog rescue or care for the stray dogs. I have a Labrador named Daisy who is 13 years old and treat her like my child, so rest assured I know the importance of caring for your pup! I am currently working part-time meaning I have a flexible schedule. I am available Monday mornings and afternoons, Tuesday early mornings and afternoons, Wednesday and Thursday before 9am and after 3pm. Weekends are more flexible as I am off two days and alternate a 4 hour shift on a Friday/Saturday so have plenty of time. I live with my mum in a house which has gates at the front and side, and a fenced garden. I have a 13 year old Labrador who is very gentle and friendly.
“Charlie had his first overnight stay with Kate, and we couldn’t be happier with how it went. She kept in regular contact throughout, sending photos and videos to keep us updated on how things were. It was clear that Charlie was well looked after and having a great time. We can’t recommend Kate highly enough.”


“We had a great experience with Ashleigh and would happily book again. We were kept updated with messages and photos and our dog had a great weekend playing with Theo! Thank you for taking such good care of Finn!”

“Sarge absolutely loved his time with Lauren, he made himself at home straight away and Lauren sent lots of pupdates, it was so reassuring to know that Sarge was comfortable and being well looked after. I wish I lived more locally because I’d have a dog sitter for life with Lauren if I could. Thank you so much!”


“Jacqueline was amazing!! She took such good care of our big dog Dante, attending to his needs. She sent lots of photos which was great. Communication was brilliant and we would definitely be booking with Jacqueline again!!”

“I can’t recommend Becca highly enough! She recently looked after my dog, Rosie, for a couple of nights, and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. From the moment I dropped Rosie off, I could tell she was in loving and capable hands. Rosie came home happy, well-cared for, and clearly very comfortable with Becca. It’s clear she has a real love for animals, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with Rosie again. Thank you, Becca!”

“Angus was the first sitter we have used through the Rover service. We could not be happier with the way he cared for Della, our 12 yr old Patterdale Terrier. We received regular updates throughout the duration of her stay and she received such loving care.”

“Oreo recently stayed with Karen and Paul for 12 nights. She was well cared for in a home-from-home environment in a lovely setting. I was sent updates on how she was doing, including pictures. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Karen again when we next need a sitter. Thanks again, Karen and Paul!”

“It was Roxy's first time away from home and we were both nervous, but Helen was an excellent host. She made Roxy immediately feel welcome and comfortable and she sent me lots of photos to reassure me that all was ok. I would definitely be happy for Helen look after Roxy again. Thank you Helen!”


“We’re so pleased we found Melissa to look after Lotus. We were quite nervous at first due to some past bad experiences with dog care, but she completely put our minds at ease. Lotus clearly had an amazing time, made two new best friends, and was so well cared for. Melissa kept us updated with messages about their adventures, which really reassured us while we were away. She followed all our care instructions perfectly and went above and beyond. It’s obvious she genuinely loves dogs, and Lotus was absolutely spoilt. We’ll definitely be booking with her again, it’s such a relief to know we can go away without worrying. Truly 5-star care. Highly recommended!”

“We left our dog Nacho with Maria and her family for a weekend and they did amazing job! We were getting updated a few times a day with plenty photos and videos, Maria did exactly as directed for care after Nacho,no problems .Lovely family, would highly recommend! X”


About: I’ve spent my career working with dogs and have over 15 years of hands on experience caring for them in a variety of professional roles. My background includes working in boarding kennels, serving as a Local Authority Dog Enforcement Officer, and most recently as a Professional Live Body Detection Dog Handler. These roles have given me the opportunity to work with dogs of every breed, size, age and personality, and have helped me build a calm, confident approach to caring for them. I’m confident handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages and temperaments. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, snuggling on the sofa or simply sticking to their usual routine, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy and well cared for. I’m also happy to administer oral medication and follow any specific instructions to keep their routine as normal as possible. What sets me apart is my understanding of dog behaviour and body language. Through years of professional experience, I’ve learned how to recognise when a dog is feeling relaxed, excited, anxious or uncomfortable, allowing me to respond appropriately and help them feel safe and secure. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and those with additional needs. I understand the importance of patience, consistency and gentle care, and I always take the time to get to know each dog's individual personality and needs. Your dog's safety, happiness and wellbeing will always be my top priority. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, so I’ll treat your dog with the same love, care and respect I would my own. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your dog is in experienced, reliable and caring hands. I'm currently available full time and have a flexible schedule, so I can provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime and companionship throughout the day. From September, I'll be working full time, but I'll continue to offer pet care on the weekends, where I'll have dedicated time to give your dog the care, exercise and affection they deserve. I always make sure every pet receives my full attention and stays happy, safe and comfortable while in my care. I will take the time to get to know each dog's routine, personality and individual needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress free. I will always follow your instructions, including feeding routines, exercise requirements, medication schedules and any behavioural or medical needs. I live in a clean, comfortable apartment with access to a front garden for quick toilet breaks. As the front garden is not fully enclosed, I will never allow dogs off lead there. Your dog's safety is my top priority, so all outdoor time will be closely supervised. Dogs staying with me will receive regular walks tailored to their age, breed and energy level, along with plenty of play, companionship and enrichment indoors. I'll ask you about their usual routine, favourite walking routes, favourite treats and toys, any dislikes, allergies or medical conditions, and how they interact with other people, dogs and animals while out on walks. You're welcome to bring your dog's own lead, collar or harness, along with their bed or blanket, favourite toys and anything that smells like home to help them settle in and feel relaxed. For safety, dogs will always remain on lead when out walking until we've built trust and I know their recall and behaviour well. I'll also ask to see that your dog is up to date with their vaccinations, flea and worming treatments. I'll make sure I have your veterinary details and emergency contact information before your dog's stay, so I'm fully prepared should they ever be needed. My priority is to provide a safe, calm and caring environment where both you and your dog feel completely confident and comfortable. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe and receiving the very best care.
“Indy had a great time with Sophie. It was the first time she'd stayed overnight but settled in really well. Sophie sent us some pics and video from their lovely walks and kept us up to date. Would highly recommend.”

“Kat was amazing, this was our first time leaving kevin with anyone who wasnt family. She kept us up to date with photos and made us feel so comfortable leaving him with her!”

“Adam and summer did a phenomenal job being super understanding of all klopps needs and took a non judgmental approach . Klopp came back calm and relaxed . And got spoilt with many blankets . thank you . 🐶🐾”
“I can't rate Joanne highly enough. Our Schnauzer Alfie has been in the very safe hands that Joanne provided. Highly recommended and definitely will use her again in the future 🥰”

“This is the first time Oakley had been away from home and we were extremely anxious. We shouldn't have been as he was well looked after and fitted right in with her own dog.”

Roxy had a great stay with Rebecca and Edward. I was a bit apprehensive as Roxy hasn't spent a lot of time around other dogs but all was fine and Rebecca and Edward sent photos and videos to show me Roxy was settled and enjoying herself. They have a great enclosed secure garden and Roxy loved it! They are a great couple, and obviously have a lot of dog experience. Would happily recommend them and use them again! Thanks both!

This was the first time I’d left Mary (cavapoochon, 15 months) for a full day. I was very worried and Fay picked up on my anxiety. She sent me texts and photos and updates, this really eased my mind and once I could see that Mary was fine I was able to enjoy my day. Mary obviously loves Fay and I would have no hesitation in leaving her again.

Woody stayed with Maria for 2 nights and appeared to love it! This was Woodys first time boarding. Maria kept in contact throughout the stay with lots of pictures and videos She made sure that all of Woodys needs were carefully catered to and ensured he was comfortable and not stressed! When I picked woody up he didn’t immediately want to leave which shows he was very well looked after whilst with Maria I would certainly use Maria again for boarding and would happily recommend her to anyone Thank you Maria!

Ed and Danielle were amazing. They took the time to meet with us and allow our dog to meet theirs prior to the overnight. They were really caring and sensitive to our dog's allergies. Regular updates (photos and videos) on how things were going. I would highly recommend Ed. Thanks again

Erin looked after our Lhasa Apso 'George' for 4 days. We were worried at first that he would not settle and may be a bit of a handful. How wrong we were, he appears to have made himself at home from the very first minute, indeed he seemed reluctant to leave. Thank you Erin for looking after 'George' , opening up your home to him and making his stay so comfortable. We look forward to seeing you again in the future.

Our dachshund Peanut has stayed with Ros and Atlas a number of times now. Pea has a great time, Ros looks after him very well, with lots of walks and fun times. Ros keeps you updated daily with messages and pics, which is much appreciated. Wouldn’t leave Pea with anyone else. Highly recommend Ros, she’s great x

Leanne is absolutely brilliant, warm and friendly. Good communication. My dog Milo first went for a day and last weekend went to for a overnight stay. Milo seemed happy to go back into Leannes house tail wagging. Leanne gives good updates on how Milo was doing. I am so happy I have finally found someone my dog likes and I have all confidence in.
