About: Our family have been around and owned dogs our entire lives. My husband and I have been looking after family and friends dogs together for nearly 5 years. We are newly established as a licensed home boarders taking 2 doggy guests at a time alongside our two neutered boys, and we want to offer as much flexibility and tailoring as possible for you and your pets comfort! I work from home weekdays so dogs have plenty of company! We can do walks at breakfast, lunch and dinner time, and weekends we can go for nice long and more adventurous walks (weather and dog dependant!) We have a large fenced back garden, half grass and half stone/slabs, and a smaller fenced front garden with grass and stone, the dogs can go anywhere in our home except my daughters room in case of teddy theft! We have a huge sofa so there is plenty of space for cwtches! We are pretty relaxed, flexible and happy to make accommodations to make sure all dogs are as happy as possible.
“Once again thank you and your lovely family for looking after Bo for us. He likes it there so much he didn't want to leave again. This is the second time Bo has stayed with you and he always comes home happy and chilled out. I suspect he loves being spoilt by your two daughters. Good luck with the new puppy. Thanks again Kevin and Gina”
“We left Ramsey with Liam and Timmy for a whole week while we were away and we couldnt have wished for 2 better people to take care of him. We had regular updates and lots of photos of Ramsey enjoying himself. They really went to a lot of effort in keeping him entertained. Honest, reliable and trustworthy. Will definitly be sending Ramsey on his holidays there again. Thank you both”
“Becs was a lifesaver after another sitter cancelled late. She met us for a meet and greet and asked lots of questions about Artis which was really reassuring. I had some lovely photos of Artis on some gorgeous walks and playing with other dogs. She came home happy and healthy. Defo recommend!”
About: Experience caring for breeds such as Border Collies, Boxers, Cocker Spaniels, Corgis, Austrian Shepherds, Labradors, Lhasa Apsos, and Australian Labradoodles. Confident with energetic working breeds as well as smaller companion dogs, providing tailored care, exercise, and calm handling based on individual needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I already walk 2–3 times a day, typically for around an hour each walk. I structure my day around providing consistent exercise, attention, and supervision, ensuring dogs get plenty of physical activity and stimulation throughout their stay. I’m at home for most of the day, so dogs are rarely left alone for long periods. My routine allows me to maintain a calm, stable environment with regular feeding times, walks, rest, and supervised garden access. I’m flexible and able to adjust my schedule to suit each dog’s individual needs, energy levels, and routines, including puppies or dogs that require more frequent attention. I provide a calm, safe home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family and their usual routines are followed, including feeding, exercise, and rest. I only board dogs from one household at a time, ensuring full attention, a stress-free environment, and no mixing with unfamiliar dogs. Dogs have access to a secure garden for supervised outdoor time, alongside tailored walks based on their individual needs and energy levels. I take a careful, responsible approach to care, prioritising safety, consistency, and comfort so each dog can settle quickly and feel at home. Owners receive regular updates with messages and photos for complete peace of mind while their dog is in my care.
“As my dog , has very particular ways, Alison took them on board and therfore she had a lovely stay with her . Much appreciated! Alison was lovely with her and we will definitely have her for future stays.”
“First time we have used Emma for dog sitting our 12 year old Jack Russell X Pug Bella. Emma is lovely and calm with Bella and settled her in well as we have not left her with a dog sitter previously This was an overnight stay to see how Bella would cope with being away from us. Bella was fine when we picked her up on the Saturday and we are now going ahead with a four night stay in June. 10/10 service 👍🏼🤩🐻❤️”
“It was our first time leaving Daisy and Blue and really nervous but had a daily update from Sean which helped us feeling ok leaving them. When we picked the girls up they were their usual bouncy selfs. Will definitely book with Sean again”
About: My lifelong love affair with dogs began in my childhood, where I was fortunate to be surrounded by these incredible creatures. Among them, Harvey, my childhood canine companion, taught me the true meaning of loyalty and friendship. He was more than just a pet; he was family. Years later, My partner and I decided to rescue Alvin, a courageous Romanian street dog with an enthusiasm that touched my heart profoundly. We welcomed him into our home with open arms, determined to give him the love and care he so rightfully deserved. However, Alvin faced a relentless adversary in the form of Renal Dysplasia. Witnessing Alvin's daily battle was both heartbreaking and inspiring. His spirit remained unbroken, and his resilience was a testament to the remarkable strength of our furry companions. Though the battle was fierce, Alvin eventually succumbed to the cruel grip of his ailment. The loss of Alvin was a devastating blow, but his memory lives on as a poignant reminder of the unbreakable bonds we share with dogs and the lengths we'll go to ensure their well-being. Today, I continue to honor Harvey, Alvin, and all the dogs I've had the privilege to know by dedicating myself to the welfare of these incredible animals, knowing that each one carries a unique story worth cherishing. This is why I dedicate any of my spare time to care for these wonderful creatures. Balancing my freelance work in the television industry with pet care has become a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. Amidst the hustle, my four-legged companions remind me to embrace simple joys like morning walks and late-night cuddles. They've taught me that life's best moments happen between work commitments, seamlessly fitting into my schedule. Whether caring for pets in my own home or tending to them in the comfort of their owner's space, my approach is centered on creating a safe, loving, and enriching environment. In my home, furry guests become part of the family, enjoying tailored routines, playtime, and cuddles. In a pet owner's home, I adapt to their pets' needs, maintaining familiar routines and surroundings to minimise stress. Whether it's ensuring a cozy nap spot or a stimulating playtime, my priority is to provide top-notch care that keeps tails wagging and purrs coming.
“Abigail and Jose hosted our rescue pup for a trial night which was his first time staying away from home since we’ve had him. Their care and attention to detail was phenomenal and instantly made us and Tiggy feel safe and comfortable. So willing to work around our dogs needs and he had the most amazing time, he wanted to stay and go on another scenic walk in the countryside. ☺️”

I regularly feed them and walk Shadow (our handsome husky) and my partner is happy for me to keep doing these. I also help with litter changes and enrichment, and have recently helped with vet care for one of our rabbits, including administering medications. I'm currently out of work and looking to set up a business, so I have lots of time to care for and play with animals of any kind I feed the dog, rabbits and rats regularly, and walk our dog as often as possible.

I'm currently preparing to do online university and starting up my own little art business! All money i get from looking after your fur babies will go towards a pc!

I care for all with patience and love and know to keep a close eye on them. I've picked up all the behaviours to look out for to ensure they are happy and safe and know ways to deal with them if they aren't.
“Bowie had an amazing day at Sean and Ida’s today. He played with his new puppy friend all day. I was sent videos which reassured me he was happy as it was his first time away from home. He was picked up and dropped off to me which made it so convenient for me to go to work. They are lovely people and I trusted them implicitly. Would highly recommend!”

The children are at school Monday to Friday and we are all around at the weekends. I have no other pets here since our dog and cat passed last year.

About: I have owned dogs for over 25 years. My dog died two years ago and decided I am ready to give love to other dogs. I regularly walk and look after my sister's dogs. I am available for boarding throughout the week and some weekends are free. Always ask as you never know! I love walking and would like a companion to share it with. I have a fenced garden and work currently from home so have plenty of time to play and cuddle your pets. I can walk them during the day also.
“My little dachshund Efa has now had several stays with Kate and her lovely lurchers. Efa can be quite nervous around other dogs and new people but at the first meeting, Kate was so relaxed and calm, we both felt comfortable straight away. Kate sent me photographs of Efa happily curled up on her lap which was very reassuring. Wally and Barney were very friendly and gentle with my much smaller dog and she had a great time playing with them. I cannot recommend Kate highly enough and it’s great to see Efa jumping out of the car and charging up the drive to see her new friends ❤️”
About: We both come from households with dogs our whole lives. I’ve always had 2 dogs whilst growing up on a farm and Oli loved growing up with his dogs Bailey and Summer. The past couple years we have looked after a range of dogs whilst housesitting for friends and family. I am available all day and Oli works until 3 so available in the afternoon, leaving plenty of time to look after your pets! I work from home so there’s plenty of time for walking and attention for your pup. When Oli gets back he loves a walk and spend time in the garden. We have a fenced garden, with a park nearby and happy to take further if needed. Separate room downstairs for dog to stay in, but happy to have upstairs too!

We have trained our first dog from a pup and nurtured our second rescue dog to become a lovely happy lady! They both enjoy our home and woodland walks around the area. We are lucky enough to work from home so our dogs are never left alone, they are walked in the morning before work, in the evening before dinner and enjoy woodland / beach walks on weekends. We have a fully secure home with a good sized garden and allow our pups to have the run of the ground floor. The garden connects to the kitchen and the home office so the dogs are always next to us throughout the day.
“My husband and I booked Beverly to take care of our little boy when we go on Holiday for a week. We were very nervous to leave him, so booked an earlier date for a day so they could get to know each other. Beverly took such amazing care of him and genuinely treated him as though he was hers. He spent hours playing in the garden and made friends with her gorgeous dogs. When my husband went to collect him, he didn’t want to come home! We’re so happily to have found someone to trust to look after him for us to go on holiday. We know he will have the most amazing week with Beverly and her dogs.”

About: Hello my name is Lucia 🙂 I have grown up around dogs and cats and I have always had them as part of my family, which has given me plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. Over the years, I have helped with feeding, walking, grooming, playtime, and providing lots of love and attention. Being around dogs and cats for most of my life has taught me how to understand their needs, personalities, and routines, and I am comfortable caring for them of different ages and temperaments. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home. On weekdays, I only leave briefly in the morning to take my child to nursery from 10:00 to 11:30, and then I return home for the rest of the day. This means I can provide plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and companionship for your pet throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can enjoy fresh air and play safely. Pets will receive lots of love, attention, and care while staying with me. I also enjoy taking dogs on regular walks, so they can get exercise, explore, and have fun during their stay.

“Alison looked after our Coco, I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Absolutely brilliant communicator, nothing was ever an issue. Coco loved her walks with Alison.

“Bronwyn was absolutely wonderful and Bess took to her straight away. I have been unable to take Bess out due to surgery and Bronwyn was very flexible, prompt and attentive. She kindly sent photos through on the app and a school report which was an unexpected delight. Bronwyn is very calm and clearly very great at handling dogs and helped correct behaviour when Bess jumped up a little enthusiastically. Thanks so much Bronwyn. Hopefully Bess will have stopped pining at the door when we next see you :)”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love for animals and the experience I have from caring for my own chihuahuas. I understand the unique needs of small breeds and am dedicated to providing personalized and attentive care to every dog I look after. I am currently in university however I commute and am extremely flexible with my schedule, I am nearly never away from home and am always able to have flexibility and last minute requests. I commute to university due to the fact that I have my own puppy, my day usually stems around her when I am not home she usually is taken care of by a member in my family. When I care for pets in my home, I make sure they have a cozy and safe environment, with plenty of playtime and regular walks. I pay close attention to their feeding schedules and any special dietary needs. When I'm taking care of pets in a pet owner's home, I follow their routines and instructions closely to keep things consistent for the pet. I provide lots of love and attention to keep them happy and relaxed while their owner is away.

About: I love all animals & I have a lot of experience caring for them (you can see a few of the wonderful pets I’ve looked after in my cover photos).

Myself and my partner would love a dog of our own, but due to work commitments changing in the future I don’t want to commit to a dog of our own and not be able to meet its needs 100% of the time. So by offering services through rover I can fill that dog shaped hole in my heart and provide your pets with the love and attention they need when you are unable to x I am a freelance makeup artist and have a flexible schedule which will allow pet care to fit in to my routine easily and allows me to give them my full attention. I will be the primary caregiver to your pet. However when my partner Becky is not working, we will be caring for your pet together and both love going to long walks and adventures so your dog will get plenty of exercise and entertainment whilst in our care! Currently only offering pet sitting in their own home. It’s important to me that your pet is safe and comfortable in somewhere they know. I will ask all about their routine and how best they usually like to spend their days, so I can continue to make them happy and comfortable when you’re not there.

About: Our family have been around and owned dogs our entire lives. My husband and I have been looking after family and friends dogs together for nearly 5 years. We are newly established as a licensed home boarders taking 2 doggy guests at a time alongside our two neutered boys, and we want to offer as much flexibility and tailoring as possible for you and your pets comfort! I work from home weekdays so dogs have plenty of company! We can do walks at breakfast, lunch and dinner time, and weekends we can go for nice long and more adventurous walks (weather and dog dependant!) We have a large fenced back garden, half grass and half stone/slabs, and a smaller fenced front garden with grass and stone, the dogs can go anywhere in our home except my daughters room in case of teddy theft! We have a huge sofa so there is plenty of space for cwtches! We are pretty relaxed, flexible and happy to make accommodations to make sure all dogs are as happy as possible.
“We left Ramsey with Liam and Timmy for a whole week while we were away and we couldnt have wished for 2 better people to take care of him. We had regular updates and lots of photos of Ramsey enjoying himself. They really went to a lot of effort in keeping him entertained. Honest, reliable and trustworthy. Will definitly be sending Ramsey on his holidays there again. Thank you both”
“Becs was a lifesaver after another sitter cancelled late. She met us for a meet and greet and asked lots of questions about Artis which was really reassuring. I had some lovely photos of Artis on some gorgeous walks and playing with other dogs. She came home happy and healthy. Defo recommend!”
“If you are looking for dog sitters who will love your dog as deeply and genuinely as you do, Janie and Derek are quite simply everything you could hope for and more. From the very start, they went above and beyond. They met us at our home first so we could chat and get to know each other properly and then invited us to their beautiful home so we could see exactly where our dachshund, Ralphie, would be staying. They immediately put us at ease, warm, open and welcoming and it was incredibly reassuring hearing them talk about their own experiences with dog sitters, and how they understand just how hard it is to leave your pet when you’re away. While we were away, Janie and Derek kept in touch with daily updates, photos and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear from the way they spoke about Ralphie that they had really taken the time to get to know him and all his little quirks. Seeing him so relaxed, happy and cuddly with them made our worries disappear, especially when we discovered he’d even earned cuddles on their bed! They didn’t just look after Ralphie, they truly loved and cared for him as if he were their own. We came home to a happy, content dog, which says more than words ever could. Janie and Derek aren’t just dog sitters, they are genuinely special people and finding them feels like winning the dog sitter lottery. We wouldn’t hesitate to trust them with Ralphie again, and we already can’t imagine anyone else looking after him. Ralphie didn’t just stay with Janie and Derek, he was treated like he was their own, loved, understood and completely at home, and that is all any dog parent could ever ask for. They provide genuine care, affection and peace of mind. If you’re reading this and wondering whether to book them — stop wondering and book them. You will never regret the best choice you will ever make for your pet!”

“So very kind and accommodating. Bronwen took our dog on beautiful long walks and wasn’t phased by his boundless energy. She sent lots of lovely photos of their fun together. Bronwen made sure she kept his usual home rules and routine to avoid confusion. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again! Thank you”
“I couldn’t have asked for better care for Miles during his stay with Rupert. From start to finish, he was attentive, kind, and clearly committed to making sure my dog felt comfortable and happy. I got regular updates, photos, and messages that truly put me at ease. My pup came home relaxed, well-cared for, and clearly loved every minute of their time with him. Rupert went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful for the peace of mind he gave me. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”

“Lauren was absolutely amazing with my dog cooper I was so nervous about leaving him but she reassured me I was sent photos everyday and she looked after him well. I will be using Lauren again fantastic!”
“First time we have used Emma for dog sitting our 12 year old Jack Russell X Pug Bella. Emma is lovely and calm with Bella and settled her in well as we have not left her with a dog sitter previously This was an overnight stay to see how Bella would cope with being away from us. Bella was fine when we picked her up on the Saturday and we are now going ahead with a four night stay in June. 10/10 service 👍🏼🤩🐻❤️”
“First class dog care for our two dogs who enjoyed their holiday with Kate and Nick and had fun with Barney and Wallace too. Our dogs came home relaxed and happy. Kate sent us frequent updates and videos of the dogs out on their walks in the beautiful countryside around Kate’s home. 5 star service !!”
“My dog Lola had a fabulous time with Maisie Ellen and I would definitely use her again. When Lola came back from the kennels previously she was so excited to get out of there, but when I picked her up from Maisie she was really chilled and knew she'd been much happier. Really helped me enjoy my trip knowing Lola was staying with such a loving family, and the photos and video I received really made a big difference. Highly recommended!”
“Michelle was a fabulous host! When I dropped our dog Lili, she warmly welcomed us and I could instantly tell she is a true dog lover and Lili will have a great time. Michelle sent me daily updates during Lili’s stay. I cannot recommend Michelle enough. I will definitely ask Michelle to look after Lili again in the future.”
“My terrier Fudge had a lovely time at Susan’s Very good communications all through booking process with regular updates and photos of Fudge during his stay which were very welcome. Excellent service Would thoroughly recommend👍”
“Ted was relieved as part of the family. The photos show he enjoyed being with Chris and his new best friend. I have no qualms about him going again. Thanks so much x”
About: Hello my name is Lucia 🙂 I have grown up around dogs and cats and I have always had them as part of my family, which has given me plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. Over the years, I have helped with feeding, walking, grooming, playtime, and providing lots of love and attention. Being around dogs and cats for most of my life has taught me how to understand their needs, personalities, and routines, and I am comfortable caring for them of different ages and temperaments. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home. On weekdays, I only leave briefly in the morning to take my child to nursery from 10:00 to 11:30, and then I return home for the rest of the day. This means I can provide plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and companionship for your pet throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can enjoy fresh air and play safely. Pets will receive lots of love, attention, and care while staying with me. I also enjoy taking dogs on regular walks, so they can get exercise, explore, and have fun during their stay.
