2. Harry S.
“I’ve had the pleasure of having Harry look after my Whippet, Lenny, since I got him in 2022, and I couldn’t be more grateful! Harry has been an amazing dog sitter and walker. He’s always punctual, professional, and clearly cares deeply about Lenny’s well-being. Lenny absolutely adores him and is always excited for their walks and playtime. Harry goes above and beyond, ensuring Lenny gets the right amount of exercise and attention. I truly trust him with my furry companion and recommend him to anyone in need of a fantastic dog sitter and walker. Lenny’s always in great hands with Harry!”


3. Chell S.

“In all the years I’ve known Chell she’s always had a dog, she’s a loving caring owner for her own dog and I’m certain that she will give your dog all the love and attention that they need as if they was her own. She loves long walks come rain or shine, has handled big dogs and small dogs with ease. She knows many different walking routes and has some of the greatest beach’s in Essex on her doorstep. I personally couldn’t recommend any other person to look after your pup!!”

About: I have taken care of a range of animals from the young age of 10. I have also cared and adored animals. I work from home which gives me much larger availability to care for my own animals and to give me time to care for others. I live at home with my mum so thankfully we also have someone in for my dogs/cats and I am able to do the same for someone else. I work full time but from home so I can easily manage my work around been attentive to animals which makes it much easier for me. Make sure they are safe in the environment they are in and and can bring no harm to themselves or others. Make sure they have good care.


5. Shivani V.
“Shivani has looked after my two dogs for 12 days in the past and my experience alongside my dog's experience was very well and the service was very high standard.. I strongly recommend her... she loves dogs. cares for each one of them as if it's her owns.. Walking, loo breaks, meals are given on times and most best thing is she always update me with pictures of them”


6. Jill B.
“Jill is passionate about animals and given the choice she would set up her own sanctuary in the blink of an eye. She is kind, caring and observant so if an animal is unwell, she would spot it in a jiff and take the appropriate action. She has looked after rescue dogs for many years and I often see her walking past my house on the way to the footpath, talking to them as though they are humans! It is often said that your animals reflect your personality and Jill's dogs are loving, affectionate and real characters - Jill in a nutshell! Jill recently lost one of her dogs due to old age; it was very sad for all concerned. Jill is reliable, trustworthy and very popular with all who know her. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jill as a dog sitter.”


7. Amy M.

“I cannot recommend Amy highly enough. On our first meeting she showed a real true care with my cats and they took to her instantly too. Working away is always a worry when leaving our cats in the hands of others, especially as we have two with medical needs, so finding Rover and Amy has been a blessing. To receive a notification when Amy is with them is of great comfort and to see daily check list and photos was very welcomed. Arriving home to a lovely clean space where the trays and food areas were spotless was wonderful and or cats look like they had a blast and love their new kitty nanny! I will be booking Amy for our Holiday next year knowing that they are in safe and caring hands!”


8. Yaz M.
About: I am a dog lover who has grown up around dogs. Being a dog mum myself, I know how important it is that your pets are well cared for and looked after by someone you can trust. Currently working full time In Colchester, with two days working from home. I can have dogs stay with myself and Pablo over the weekend & occasionally some week days/nights, if I take holiday from work. I’m really flexible when it comes to dog walking. I have time to do walk most evenings, sometimes mid day during lunch breaks and on weekends. I have a fenced back garden and a really friendly Frenchie who loves to play. Dogs are allowed everywhere in my house, upstairs is not out of bounds


9. Katherine L.
“Kat is a wonderful and caring person who has taken excellent care of my two indoor cats on occasions when I have been away (one was a short stay and the other longer). I feel very safe leaving them with her, she sends me lots of updates and is a joy overall. Will definitely be having her over to catsit again. My bengals Zoe and Anushka adore her.”


10. Danielle Lauren G.
About: I’ve taken care/had dogs and cats since I was younger and just LOVE animals. I have a 3 year old cat called rocco and 7 month old Labrador Bella. I only work 2 days a week so thought I could do something I enjoy in my spare time. Come rain or shine :) I only work two days a week so have plenty of time and love to give on my days off, I also have two children 6 & 11 who absolutely love animals. I have a fenced off garden and 2 dogs for your fur baby to have some company visa versa as my doggy’s are always looking for new friends to have :)


11. Mae D.
“whilst i was on holiday Mae looked after my dog and was fabulous with sending me updates and pictures. Communication was excellent and she’s such a caring human i’d recommend if your seeking for a trustworthy dog carer.”


12. Megan L.
About: I have grown up with all types of dogs so I have plenty of experience and love to give them when you’re busy to do so! I work from home full time so availability is not an issue and dogs can be taken out at any time of day needed to. I live in a first floor maisonette but I have access to a fenced back garden. I am also surround by fields which I prefer to do when taking dogs out and there are plenty of places to walk so there will be no issues with exercise for your dog


13. Elise P.
“My dogs are part of my family and I fully trust Elise with them. She follows our training we have in place and makes sure they stick to feeding schedules as well as giving them all the love, cuddles and walks they want. There is nobody I would trust more, I highly recommend!”


14. Roxanne S.

“Roxanne was really friendly, professional and completely trustworthy. I was a bit nervous leaving my pets but roxanne put me at ease and I had complete peice of mind knowing that my pets were being cared for while I was away. I will definitely be using rover again and would recommend roxanne to anyone needing a pet sitter.”


15. Tara W.
“Tara has looked after my chocolate labrador several times. Frankly, he comes back to me happier, more obedient and healthier than when he goes. It's literally a holiday for him. She adores dogs and has vast experience with all breeds through her work and qualifications as an advanced dog trainer. I trust her more than I trust myself with Charlie and wouldn't use anyone else. Totally devoted, qualified, conscientious, trustworthy and professional. Head and shoulders above most out there that are just looking to make a few quid at the expense of your dog's wellbeing.”


16. Jessica K.
About: Ive always had constant animal experience, weather thats walking and feeding my neighbours dogs or looking after my aunties cats. I now have a beautiful frenchie who is 4 years old and spoilt rotten! Pet care would be most suitable for me alongside my study, as i find looking after animals a very calming and giving experience. My schedules are usually very open and i can be flexible around my schedule. Im a very responsible trustworthy adult who provides constant care for my mums frenchie. i understand how difficult it can be to trust an individual, therefore happy to compromise on any safety precautions needed.
