“Catalina and the whole family are lovely, sweet and helpful. They were knowledgeable and very welcoming and we definitely felt like we were leaving our dog in great hands. We received regular updates and they adhered to her schedule really well and she received a lot of outdoor time too. Really look forward to leaving her with Catalina and her wonderful family again xx”

“Over the moon with Nicholas! Was our first time leaving our Reggie. We had daily updates and photos which allowed us to relax and enjoy our holiday knowing Reggie was in good hands and looking so happy having fun with him! Couldn't recommend Nicholas enough. Massive thank you!”

5. Nicole Harman

“Its my first time to use the app and Nicky was so kind , caring and loving to Luna. She update me all the time during her stay and send photos of her activities. She also gave me tips and advice how to manage my dog well. I am so pleased and would definitely recommend her. She’s a star to me. 😊🥳”


6. Evan B.

“Evan was a fantastic sitter. I always drop Cleo off with loads of stuff but in this instance I didn’t need to as Evan was so prepared already. Great communication & just such a warm, friendly person that I knew Cleo was going to be spoilt rotten. She had such a great time that she didn’t even seem very excited to see me when I picked her up. Cannot recommend Evan enough and will definitely be booking again. Cleo is already excited for her next stay.”


7. Marlene S.

“We left our bichon Crystal with Marlene for 2 nights. Marlene is very bubbly, pleasant and very welcoming. It's plain to see that she absolutely adores animals. She shared photos of Crystal everyday of their walks and at home plus giving us funny little updates which we loved. Marlene played a little game with Crystal, hiding her treats which she enjoyed once she grasped what the game was all about ? we shall definitely play this game with her. Thank you so much Marlene for the idea. It's obvious to see that Crystal was very happy and well looked after when we picked her up and we were not fully convinced that Crystal wanted to come home with us. We would highly recommend Marlene. Thank you so much Marlene, we will be seeing you again in November ?”


8. Onder D.


“Alfie had such a lovely weekend with Onder (and Bambi!). Genuinely haven’t seen him that relaxed on return from a dogsitter, so he clearly had an excellent time! Onder was very responsive and we got lots of updates (and videos!) and he was very generous with keeping Alfie for an extra few hours when we got stuck during to bad weather. Would 100% recommend!”


9. Hannah G.

“Hannah and her partner were brilliant. They took fantastic care of Reggie throughout and were great with his anxiety. They sent us loads of pictures and went out their way to make sure Reggie had a great time taking him on long walks. Will deffo look to book Hannah again. Many thanks,”


10. Suzanne K.

“We had the pleasure of having Suzanne take care of our Chihuahua, Myles, over the weekend after a last-minute cancellation, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her flexibility and kindness. Suzanne went above and beyond in caring for Myles, keeping us updated throughout the day with detailed notes and adorable pictures, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear from how happy and relaxed Myles was that he received excellent care. Suzanne is not only trustworthy but incredibly attentive and thoughtful, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”


11. Emilee R.

“Emilee was the perfect sitter for our mini dachshund, they kept us updated during the stay and were happy to accommodate our last minute change of plans. I would highly recommend Emilee to sit for your pets”


12. Ana B.

“It was a pleasure to meet Ana and her partner. They exemplify the true spirit of love, care, compassion, and dedication to pet care. My dog, Araki, had a lovely time with the family and became friends with another dog. They had a blast together, and Araki felt sad when his friend left. I will leave my dog with this family, knowing he will receive love and care in the future.”


13. Charlie L.

“Charlie provided excellent service throughout the entire process, from the initial booking to the pickup of Tyson. He consistently kept me informed and provided updates with pictures. As a result, Tyson returned home in a very happy state.”

15. Andreea Cristina S.

“Andreea is honestly such a kind and caring sitter. I would highly recommend Andreea to anybody looking for someone that truly cares about animals. My pup came back very happy. We also got lots of photos and updates about Nova throughout her stay with Andreea. Nova was very lucky and Andreea had brought her some toys to play with. Andreea surpassed our expectations and I am so grateful for how she looked after Nova. I will definitely book Andreea again!!! Thank you so much 😊”

18. Boglarka O.
“Boglarka is one of the best sitters I have ever found on Rover. She took care of Pippin like she was her own dog, taking her on all sorts of adventures and treating her like a princess during her stay, whilst consistently keeping me updated. I cannot recommend her enough!”


19. Anna L.

“Mark & Anna are brilliant. Weston sits patiently on their doorstep ready to go into their lovely flat. Lots of attention and snuggles await! They sent us some lovely pics of him properly chilled! Would definitely rebook, and recommend!”
