“First time using Darren to dog sit Jack over night. Very impressed and felt at ease with Darren and his family on greeting during and on collection. Received updates during the stay as well, highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Will be using Darren again. Thank you again!”
“Jessica is an absolute superstar! We were so nervous about leaving Goldie but Jessica looked after and cared for her as if she was her own. Jessica did a meet and greet before the holiday and whilst she looked after Goldie she sent daily updates with photos, hired secure fields for her and took her on amazing walks and provided lots of belly rubs! Jessica, Oliver, Indie and their gorgeous dog Benny took amazing care of Goldie and we can’t recommend them enough! Jessica and Indie even arranged a birthday party for Goldie and got her a gift as it was her birthday when we were away! It’s clear to see Jessica and her family love dogs and take amazing care of all the dogs they look after.”

About: I've been caring for dogs for years, starting with my family pup, whom I trained and looked after for three years. Now, I have my own Cavapoo, Alfie, whom I've raised since he was a puppy. I also regularly dog-sit for family and friends, so I understand how important it is to provide loving, reliable care. Whether it's playtime, walks, or cuddles, your pup will be in safe and caring hands with me! I’m currently working full time, however I have weekends and all day Fridays, I work from home therefore I have plenty of free time for your pets! They will go on lovely walks with me, be well looked after and given lots of cuddles! I have my own back garden, that is full fenced and private! I have no children just a partner and a beautiful dog who is very friendly and gets on with all dogs!
“Buster had an amazing stay with Chris and Caroline. They saved the day with last minute availability. As soon as I met them I knew I was comfortable leaving Buster with them for the week. They have a lovely house with a beautiful garden and took him on lengthy walks (when he agreed 🤣) I was completely at ease whilst I was away knowing he was being well looked after. I also got lots of updates. 100% would recommend ⭐️”
“Elena was brilliant from start to finish with Hazel, letting us know what she got up to and how she was doing. Couldn't recommend more! Thank you again Elena.”
“Romina is an absolutely lovely person, so smiley and friendly and completely set my dog and myself at ease. My rescue dog Emmy stayed with her and her husband and dog Buddy for three nights and was so well looked after. Emmy was a little nervous about going for a walk at first and Romina was very sensitive about this and handled it very well - by day two Emmy was walking happily and enjoying cuddles and belly rubs! I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Romina to look after Emmy again and would recommend her to any fellow Rover users without hesitation.”
“Reya is very professional and I knew even at the meet and greet that she’d take good care of my dog Jimmy. He was happy and relaxed (for him!) when I collected him after his 2 night stay, and he’d obviously been well looked after. Reya sent plenty of updates with photos so we were reassured at all times. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again.”

“We felt so confident that our little dog would have a lovely stay with Kate, and we were right!

We would definitely use Kate again and recommend her to any other doggy owners!”
About: I am from the north east of England where I live in a small town surrounded by countryside (before spending 16 years in London and moving to Kent in 2020). I love animals, in particular dogs. From when I was born I grew up around cats and dogs we had in the family, rabbits too and other animals on my aunties farm horses, cows, sheep and chickens. My auntie was also a dog trainer and attended crufts. I work in Mental Health and animals are a huge part of the family. They also help to reduce any stress, live in the moment and make us smile. I also have a pet first aid qualification. I am mainly available Friday (8am) to Sunday (10pm) for day care and/or over night. Depending on the time of the year and my work I may be available for other days/longer stays. My home is firstly my dogs home. He is allowed on the sofa and has access to a secure garden. There are no dangerous wires or objects which could cause injury.
“Claire was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Very responsive and she sent constant updates and pictures. Plus she has adorable children and 2 cute dogs. Autumn our Jack Russell had a wonderful time. Thank you Claire!”
About: We have always been brought up with dogs of various sizes and breeds. We are massive dog lovers and we have looked after family and friend’s dogs such as Airedale terrier, golden retriever and English bulldog. We have a beautiful very friendly male sprocker spaniel (1 years old) that would love a friend to visit and play with. We do have two children so your dog would need to be good with children if we are caring for them out of school hours. We can provide walks, cuddles and lots of play to make your pup feel at ease whilst you’re away! 🐾 Me and my partner work weekdays but we are available most weekends do go on dog walks or care for your doggy and look after them overnight. I have a secure closed in back garden and we are nearby parks and lots of countryside. Our spaniel loves his long walks and cuddles in the evenings on the sofa.
“David had great time, long walks by the sea and came back the most settled we have seen him in a long time. Elena updated us often with photos which was great as I was very anxious as this was our 1st experience of David being away from home. He will definitely be returning to Elena’s”
About: I have been surrounded by animals most of my life. I am trusted and frequently asked to walk and sit my family’s and friend’s pets when they are away for a day, need help with walks or are away on holiday. I have flexibility with respect to my work location. I have the option of working remotely, so am available for long sitting requests. I am available to walk pets all days of the week, and can sit and stay with pets during the same, so long as there is wifi available for me to work. I am confident with walking pets, I am aware of and sensitive to their personal space. I will ask to meet your pet before confirming a walk, sit or stay. I do not look after pets in my own home, so your pet will be in familiar surroundings and the comfort of their own home. I know pets are family, and will treat them as though they are members of my own when providing a service.
“Emily was just so friendly, kind and flexible, with such short notice she had Tilly overnight. Emily was so gentle with Tilly. Emily gave me updates and all was well. When I picked Tilly up she was all ready to go and I think Emily waa a little sad to see her go, we will definitely be using Emily again. Tilly certainly had a fab time.”
“Misty looked after our jack russell, Lulu, for two weeks when we were away. Lulu has come home calm, happy and extremely well cared for. Misty kept in touch the whole time we were away and I was reassured that Lulu was in safe hands. Thanks so much to Misty and her family for taking such great care of our dog. 🙂”

Becky D.
“Becky for as long as I can remember has loved animals, she’s had them all, chickens, pigs, rabbits, hamsters, you name it. But throughout the years she’s always had dogs, they are her favourite. It’s always been a passion of hers to care for animals and watch them learn and grow and live a happy fulfilling life, she has had big dogs such as a German Shepard, always taking her on long walks and took her to puppy training, and even little dogs too. She always welcomes my three dogs, a big Airedale, an English bulldog, and a French bulldog into her home, to play and be welcomed by her lovely sprocker spaniel, despite them all being a handful! I would trust her any day with one of my dogs, knowing they are in safe hands and will be loved to the fullest.”

Kathryn P.
“I have known Kathryn for over 20 years and for as long as I have known her, she has always been an animal lover. I have had my own dog walking business and have called upon Kathryn to assist me at times, with both walks and home visits. She has also stayed in my own home to care for the dogs I have had staying with me. I can vouch for Kathryn with regards to her reliability, punctuality and professionalism. The animals simply adore her! I always say you can judge a person's character by the way an animal responds to them and Kathryn has certainly proved this to be very true! I have absolultly no doubts in recommending Kathryn for any position within Rover's pet sitting service.”
