This is the second time of getting Hope to look after Nala and they’re both fantastic with her. They treat her like one of their own and part of the family. She’s spoilt and Nala loves going there, wouldn’t hesitate to leave Nala with them again and would highly recommend Hope and her husband 😊

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and spent my childhood helping in my family’s boarding kennels, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. We have a spacious, secure garden where visiting dogs can play and relax, and I’m home full‑time so there’s always someone around. Our two dogs -Ralph, our gentle 11‑year‑old Jack Russell who spends the day sleeping by the fire, and Betsy our playful 1‑year‑old Beagle - love the company. Our daughters (5 and 8) adore animals too and keep the dogs entertained with games, cuddles, and the occasional sneaky treat. We live close to beautiful woodlands and reservoirs, so daily walks are part of our routine, your dog will always have company, comfort, and plenty of fun. I can be very flexible around your needs and scheduled. I also drive so can offer pick up/drop offs, a few days notice usually required. In my home, dogs enjoy constant company, a secure garden to explore, and a calm, family‑friendly atmosphere. I keep each pet’s usual routine at the heart of their stay; feeding times, walks, play, and quiet moments so they feel settled and safe from day one. We head out on daily woodland or reservoir walks & there is always someone at home to offer reassurance, attention, and plenty of affection.

This is the 2nd time Rusty has been for the day and as last time he had a great time. Got his feet under the table or on the bed or the sofa. Thank you again.

About: I have been around/taken care of pets (both cats and dogs) majority of my life. I have trained 3 dogs myself as house pets from their puppy stages, 2 of which are dachshunds we currently have, although one now stays with my husbands parents 10 minutes up the road. I am currently in-between employment, leaving a full work from home position, therefor I am home nearly 24/7 at the moment and would be able to give pets constant care and watch. I will be leaving the house roughly 2-3 times a week in the morning to attend the gym and here and there for shop runs etc, so dogs would be left at home with my pet also for roughly 1 hour or so at a time. I live in a home with a fenced garden that my own pets get to roam around freely. Pets are allowed in any room of the house and on the couch. Come nighttime, our pets have their own room they sleep in, however more often than not they choose to sleep on the couch downstairs so your pet would not be sleeping alone. However, if preferred I am happy to crate your pets if this is what they are more comfortable with.

About: I have many years experience as a dog owner from childhood and, more recently, having done over 50 petsits since 2020 caring for a wide variety of dogs, cats, small animals, chickens and the occasional pony/horse. I adore animals and pride myself on ensuring that pets are safe and secure in their own home while their pet parents are absent. I am spotlessly clean and organised and work around the routine of the animals I care for, while ensuring that the home I am staying in is kept immaculately clean and secure. I currently work online as an English language tutor, approximately 3 mornings a week for a total of around 10 hours. This has always worked out well and complimented my pet-caring work as the teaching fits well around caring for animals in their homes. However, I emphasise that I work around the individual needs and routine of the animals I care for as they are the utmost priority. Before accepting a petsit, I make absolutely sure that the 'fit' is right for both me, the home owner and, most importantly, for the animal. If I feel that I can't provide exactly the care that an animal requires, then I will not accept the work. I do this first and foremost because I love animals. I like to make sure that the home/animal owner fills me in completely on what is required to both care for their pets and their home and that everything is in place to ensure confidence from everyone concerned. Once I am certain that I can confidently provide what is required I am prepared to accept a new client.

About: We have a well cared for Cockapoo of 3 years and we think he's the best! I have had dogs since I was a child and it was important that my own child also had one to love and look after. We are now at the stage of wanting to look after other cute wee fluffballs - my daughters words LOL. We have a strong routine of dog walking and doggy care and would be happy to fit another dog into it. I have all of the school holidays off, so I'm always around during the day to walk, play and care for dogs. For the rest of the year, I work part-time and my husband works from home so there is always someone in the house. We usually walk our dog first thing in the morning, then again for a 'ball throw' mid-morning, another longer walk at the nearby country park mid-afternoon and a couple of smaller evening walks round the neighbourhood. Our dog always likes an indoor play in the evenings so we make sure we get down on the floor with him and his toys. Our medium sized fenced back garden is ideal for a morning run or to relax in the sun. We have green spaces to the back and right hand side of our garden so it's peaceful and both areas can be used for shorter walks. There is a dog next door and a couple a few doors down but there has never been any issues. Our dog isn't crated, he has the free run of the living room with throws over the couches. However, we'd be happy to crate your dog if requested. We don't allow our dog in the bedrooms, but he has free reign elsewhere. We have experience of caring for my parents elderly dog, Eddie. He was a huge part of my life from a puppy and so when they weren't able to look after him we took him in full time until he was sadly gone.

Fiona and her family were welcoming to Kip and she seemed to have had a nice time with a lovely walk and lots of cuddles. She wasn’t that bothered about coming home with me - I’d take that as a good sign! 🐶😂. Thank you for looking after Kip. 🙏🐾

About: I grew up with dogs and love to care for them. I understand work sometimes get in the way or you may need some vacation time where you need someone who will offer genuine care for your beloved pet. Message me and we can discuss what you need! I work at sea, which means I have plenty of time off when I’m back home. During that time, I’d love to help care for your pet—whether that means long walks for active breeds or cozy snuggles for more laid-back companions. I'm flexible and happy to match your pet’s energy! I have a female mini dachshund who loves the company of other humans and animals. My home is fenced so your pet can walk in and out whenever they please. You are welcome to bring their favourite treats/food, especially if they have special dietary requirements.

About: I’ve been picking up waifs and strays since 2005. My dogs have always been unwanted mixed breed rescue pups. I’m so proud of how they all turned out. I love dogs in general and have dealt with dogs with trauma issues and reactiveness. Happy to adapt to individual dogs needs. I have experience with senior dogs too. As I have my own dogs, all sitting and boarding will be in my home. I have a secure garden. Your dog would become part of the pack whilst here. Walks and visits are also available. I am off work/in transition at the moment. Free most days, evenings and nights. My dogs are extremely well catered for and yours would be too if joining our pack. I have a secure garden and local park round the corner. Happy to offer longer adventure walks 1-2 hours if required. I can transport dogs as long as they are savvy enough in the front seat of my van. Again, happy to listen to owners and adapt to individual dogs needs.

About: My partner Mark and I have both grown up surrounded by dogs and have always been hands on with their care, from walks and playtime to feeding and everyday routines. While we’re waiting for the right time to welcome a dog of our own, our home is a very dog loving one. We live in a clean, spacious family home with our two young children, who are gentle, calm and love being around dogs. We have a private garden and are surrounded by green space, perfect for relaxed walks and fresh air. We’re happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and will care for them as one of the family, with plenty of attention, affection and a calm, comfortable environment. I work part time, and my partner and I both work from home while our children are in childcare, so there’s always someone around for walks, cuddles and plenty of attention throughout the day. We’re able to offer both weekday and weekend boarding, with a flexible, attentive approach to care. Our garden is safe and secure, and we’re happy for dogs to roam freely between our ground floor living spaces and the garden. We always take time to see where each dog feels happiest and set up a cosy, quiet spot they can retreat to and call their own.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life — they’re more than pets, they’re family. My two boys were raised with two wonderful Labradors, and we’ve built our home around love, care, and dog-friendly routines. Whether you're heading to work or off on holiday, I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own. We’re a dog-loving household with a secure fenced garden and plenty of space to play and rest. My young children adore dogs and are used to being around them every day. Although we recently had to say goodbye to our own dogs (a heartbreaking moment), we now enjoy welcoming other furry companions into our home. I offer both in-home care and dog walking, depending on what suits your dog best. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily life. As someone who has always had dogs, I’ve built my routine around caring for animals — from early morning walks to evening cuddle time. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which means I can provide consistent attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. Whether it’s a morning walk, meal times, play sessions in the garden, or quiet rest indoors, I make sure each dog in my care feels safe, loved, and part of the family. My children, who were raised with dogs, also enjoy having them around and help create a friendly, stimulating environment for our furry guests. Every day is planned with your pet’s needs in mind, and weekends often include longer walks or outings to dog-friendly spots. Caring for dogs isn’t a task — it’s something we genuinely enjoy and feel privileged to do. We’re a dog-loving household with a secure fenced garden and plenty of space to play and rest. My young children adore dogs and are used to being around them every day. Although we recently had to say goodbye to our own dogs (a heartbreaking moment), we now enjoy welcoming other furry companions into our home.

About: I live on a smallholding with plenty of open field space, so dogs staying with me will have lots of safe room to run, explore and burn off energy. I grew up surrounded by animals and previously worked as a shepherd, so caring for animals is a huge part of my daily life and something I’m very confident with. We currently have four friendly dogs of our own — two Labradors who are working gun dogs, plus a Jack Russell and a Dachshund — so I’m very used to managing multiple dogs, different personalities, and structured routines. All of our dogs are well socialised and used to being around other dogs. I love spending time outdoors and will make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, attention, and a safe, caring environment while they’re with me. I work from home so I’m around all day. Dogs are constantly in and out the house with me checking livestock and going on long walks in the woods and secure field. There’s also a stream for water lovers! We’ve got a secure field available along with a secluded woodland walk. We have no neighbours and are not on the main road. We also have spare crates available if needed.

Hope is the loveliest person and did a great job looking after Saffron. The fact Saffron spent so much time curled up asleep on the sofa is a sign she was relaxed there. They were also really understanding when I was running late for pick up due to unforeseen circumstances. Would book again!

This was Skye’s first time with Sarah. She hasn’t been watched by anyone other than family for a while so we were a bit nervous. Sarah put us at ease and after Skye settled she had a great time. She came away very happy. She will definitely be back. Thank you for the updates too, really appreciated. ❤️

It's daunting, the thought of trying to get your dog used to something new and scary (for me as well as him!), but Barry and Hillary certainly know their craft and Cooper had a great first longer day. He will be looking forward to the next one already 🙂

Robin visited Zuzanna’s home on Christmas Day from 2:30pm–10pm, and this was my very first time using Rover and a pet sitter outside of family. Naturally, I was a little nervous, but Zuzanna made the whole experience really comfortable. We had a hour long meet and greet beforehand a few days before at her home with her dog Norte and Robin seemed happy and a bit relaxed with both Zuzanna and Norte, which gave me confidence to go ahead with the booking. Zuzanna was very flexible with timings, especially as I didn’t know exact times too far in advance and ended up running late due to dinner going on longer than expected. I really appreciated her understanding. I received an update about an hour in with two lovely photos and a message to say Robin was starting to settle, which put my mind at ease. When I picked Robin up, Zuzanna told me she’d been for a walk and had plenty of sofa snuggles which is exactly what Robin loves. Overall, it was a positive first experience using Rover, and I’d happily consider booking with Zuzanna again in the future. Hopefully Robin was on her best behaviour and would be welcome back!
