“We're so delighted to have found Alison! She had our terrier to stay and took all of her funny little habits and routines in her stride.

7. Aaron J.
“Aaron came to look after our pugs with his son Seth. They were amazing! Very responsive and kept us up to date with lots of photos and updates, never needed to chase him for anything. One of our pugs is a bit shy and nervous but Aaron and Seth were very patient with her and she soon warmed up to them! They got lots of treats and scratches, I would definitely recommend Aaron to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter who truly loves dogs. 5 stars!🌟”

15. Ian S.
About: Hi my name is ian. Me and my family are all dog lovers and we were the Proud owners of a Yorkshire terrier for 15 years from birth, which we greatly miss. We have looked after a number of other dogs since, and more recently a West Highland Terrier during the Christmas period who was an adorable addition to the family over the festive season. My wife and i are both retired now, so can be fairly flexible and have the freedom to spend more time with your pet and would take care of it as though it were our own. We are both active and enjoy leisurely walks and have a number of parks nearby where we can exercise your pet, whether this be boarding, house sitting, visits, doggy day care or even dog walking we would welcome the opportunity. Retired couple living fairly active lives and the exercise will do us no harm. Apart from holiday's we are pretty flexible and we both enjoy the company and satisfaction that a dog brings to our lives. We live in a safe environment, Our house has a back garden, which is enclosed and mostly turfed. There are also a number of parks that are in close proximity
16. Thomas W.
“Thomas is an amazing person who has such a kind and loving heart, he is a treasured friend and very trustworthy. I would recommend Thomas because he has a lot to give to a dog in his care, as he loves animals and has a tortoise of his own! I know Thomas has a lovely home and he enjoys walking and having a dog to care for would really be beneficial for him, and any dog would be very lucky to stay with him and would have a great time and given lots of fuss and affection.”
17. Chloe W.
“Chloe looked after my dogs and my home as if they were her own! They were well looked after and were super relaxed when I got home. Chloe sent plenty of updates which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dogs can’t wait for Chloe to stay again in the future!”
18. Weiqi C.
“Weiqi has an innate love and passion for animals that’s truly remarkable. Not only does she care for her own cats and dogs with utmost dedication, but she extends that same love and commitment to every pet she encounters. With her vast experience in taking care of both cats and dogs, you can be assured that your furry friend will be in safe and loving hands with Weiqi. Her ability to connect with pets and understand their needs is unparalleled. I wholeheartedly recommend Weiqi as a responsible and affectionate pet caregiver. - Lisa L.”
19. Sarah B.
“We can't believe our luck finding Sarah! We were let down at the last minute from a family friend who was meant to be house/dog sitting for us and I managed to find Sarah through Rover.com. We have a very large and (can be) difficult dog. Sarah was not put off by this and offered to come on a house visit and dog walk to get to know Storm prior to the sit. Storm bonded with Sarah straightaway and was extremely relaxed and happy in her company. We left for our 5 days in Berlin with complete confidence that Storm and our home were in great hands. Sarah sent us regular photos and updates each day and kept Storm to his normal routine. She was not phased by his high prey drive and she handled him perfectly. When we returned home the house was immaculate and Storm was a very happy contented dog. I would highly recommend Sarah and would not hesitate to book her again when required. I know Storm will be very happy to see her again too! :-)”
20. Holly M.
“My daughter Holy has loved dogs from a very early age and followed this through to become a qualified veterinary nurse, her ideal job. I would have no hesitation in having Holly to care for your dogs. She has a lovely nature, capable, reliable, competent and respectful and brings the professionalism of her daily role as a vet nurse with her to everything she does.”
