“Kelly was a brilliant dog sitter, despite our concerns about leaving Shadow our active collie in kennels for the first time, Kelly quickly settled her in with some ball throwing around her extensive garden. She sent messages and photographs to re assure us that Shadow was happy and well cared for and gave her a lovely walk. Shadow was clearly treated like one of the family and we will certainly be asking Kelly to look after her again.”
About: We understand from having dogs who do not like being left how important it is to have them cared for in a home environment. Our dog has full run of the house, sleeps on the bed and sofa and has three walks a day. My husband, Mark and I work from home and regularly look after friends pets when they go away from home. Recently, we looked after a springer spaniel for 6 weeks. However, our daughter is a vet so we understand that each dog has different needs and we would maintain any specific routine for your dog. Around 7 in the morning we go for our first walk of the day , then feed breakfast. Then another walk at lunchtime and we finish with an evening walk followed by supper. Our large garden is fully enclosed and dogs are not left on their own. Happy to follow a similar routine to what they have at their home.
“Thank you for looking after Coco for four days. She looked like she was having the best time playing with the other dogs and swimming every day. She has returned exhausted from her adventures. Thanks again x”
“Thank you so much for giving Coco 7 days of fun, adventure, cuddles and happiness. We got daily updates of fun in the sun and fun in the rain. First time leaving Coco for 7 days and so happy it was with you and your beautiful family. Thank you so much for welcoming her into your home. We def will be back again next time we go away.”
“We're so pleased we found Deb, as soon as we met her we knew Tobi (our puppy) was going to be well looked after, which gave us peace of mind leaving him for the first time,. He's come home happy and relaxed and has settled back into his usual routines. Thanks for taking such good care of him.”
“I cannot recommend Susan enough. She looked after Ollie for a few days while I moved house and he had the best time. He was looked after so well and I was kept updated regularly which helped me because I have never left him anywhere before. I will definitely be rebooting woth Susan again in the future.”
“Mark and Helen looked after Simba as if he were their own dog. We were so happy knowing Simba was being so cared for in every way while we were on holiday. We can't recommend them high enough, we met with Mark and Helen before Simba's stay any worries we had about taking him to stay there were gone completely after chatting with them. Simba's a 10 year old dog set in his ways everything was accommodated with smiles and like it was completely normal. Anyone leaving their dog with Mark and Helen will be as happy as we were. They were fantastic thankyou so much to you both, such a lovely couple xxx”
“Pablo had such a lovely time staying overnight with Heather and her daughter. It was our first time using Rover and she made us feel so reassured and comfortable! Pablo loved playing with Heather’s dog Honey in their garden, and he came back such a happy and snoozy boy who had clearly had a fab time. We received regular updates and photos too - a perfect stay! Thanks so much Heather.”
“First time I’ve used Scott to look after Bailey. Good communication and availability for drop off and collection. Bailey was very obviously content and settled when I collected him. Will be happy use Scott again ☺️☺️”
“Braithwaite had an overnight stay with Peter and Jane, was treated to ball games, a 6 mile walk, plenty of cuddles. He was smiling so widely on collection so I can only say this is a 5 star dog sitter. Much appreciated”
“Marlena and her family are FANTASTIC and clearly ‘dog whisperers’! Our dog Tilley is quite nervous but she settled in so well to their home for the day. Marlena sent photos throughout the day of Tilley with her son and they clearly had a bond! Thank you so so much for looking after Tilley. She was shattered when we got back to our caravan and slept for the rest of evening!!! You are great! Jo, Kath & Tilley xx”
“Thank you James for taking great care of Maisie over the weekend! I highly recommend James if you want somebody who actually cares about dogs and understands their needs he is the man to trust with your four legged family member. He sends pictures and updates too!”
“Debbie and Tom were so lovely and made me feel very confident that Gracie was in good hands. She can be a bit anxious and they definitely took that into account. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Debbie, she always replied to messages and even sent some photos whilst I was away. Thanks so much to you all. X”
“Ruby had a lovely time with Therese once they got used to one another. Ruby is a young and busy (typical!) spaniel and I think Therese found her a bit challenging to start with, but they settled into a routine over the 3 days and Therese appeared to really warm to Ruby. Therese took Ruby on lots of lovely long walks and gave her plenty of fuss and cuddles. All in all things worked out really well from my point of view and I was really happy with the care that Therese gave Ruby. Thank you Therese!”
“Wonderful! I think my Labrador, Eddie ended up preferring Sarah to me ! Top tier care. 2 daily walks and lovingly looked after. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending Sarah to any other pet owner !”
“Rachel was fantastic with my Chasey boy! I was worried about leaving Chase with someone new but Rachel was lovely and reassuring. She sent updates with pictures over the few days he was with her and Chase was so happy and exhausted when I fetched him, it was clear he'd had a great time! Would 100% recommend! Thank you!”
“Irene kindly looked after my Cava Poo, Ruby for 10 days recently. I can not recommend Irene enough, she and her family treated Ruby as if she were their own dog. Ruby was very settled with the family and received regular walks. I felt very reassured that Ruby was in good hands as Irene kept me updated on a daily basis by sending me massages and photographs of Ruby out and about on walks and playing in the house and garden. I will certainly book with Irene again and have no hesitation in recommending her to others.”

“As well as being genuinely lovely, Gabi is very knowledgeable about dog and puppy care, with plenty of experience. Her happy family of pets (two dogs and two cats) very much welcomed my pup and he had a great time on his visit. Her place is ideally suited for sitting too, with a big fenced off garden to play in. Gabi sent me lots of photos of Charlie while he was with her, and even gave me a poo update (as he's had a poorly belly so I was a bit worried on that front). She also gave me some helpful training guidance too. Big thanks!”

“2nd booking with Annie, so happy with her service, she fussed over Simba, looked after him well, watered my plants and left the cat bowls clean and all tidy. Highly recommend ( but not too much so she's too busy for me to book her in again lol)”
About: I’ve had cats all my life and have looked after my neighbours’ cats for years. As I work from home, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, company and care throughout the day. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making them feel safe and happy.
About: I’m a small animal veterinary nurse, and I care for cats every day. I have recently adopted a British blue , who is my whole world! Very experienced with cat behaviour and hope to be a calm, friendly person to look after your felines 🐾
About: Growing up with cats, kittens, fish, and sea monkies, as well as looking after stray cats often, I was often trusted by my family to care and feed for our pets growing up. I now have 2 beautiful, very well trained and well behaved 4 month old kittens who have recently been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and treated for fleas and worms. I am very patient with any animal, ensuring they are gently introduced to new people/toys/environments at a pace that suits them. I always care to give pets the mental and physical stimulation they need, and all the cuddles and affection they deserve.
About: After begging my whole life, I finally was allowed to get my own dog back in 2021. I got Ivy (my dog) as a puppy and completed all her training by myself. I think I’d read just about every dog training and behaviour book on the market so I could give Ivy the best environment possible. While I got very lucky with Ivy’s temperament, I have been a sitter for reactive dogs before. One dog in particular whom I have walked on occasion (but mostly did home visits) was very reactive and anti-social. I did meetings with the owner present to ensure the dog was comfortable with me before completing home visits alone. While on walks, it was imperative to keep this dog away from all other dogs, especially off-leash ones. I picked routes that ensured encountering minimal other people, and when we did come across other dog walkers I simply moved a fair distance off the path and held Frankie’s (the dog) attention using treats and positive reinforcement. By ensuring she kept her focus on me until the people had passed, it kept her reactivity to a minimum. Her reactivity was triggered by fear and anxiety, so avoidance of such situations meant that she was comfortable and therefore a pleasure to walk. I have experience sitting/walking dogs of all ages (including puppies and seniors) and feel comfortable with all breeds/sizes. I’m currently a university student, and with summer coming up I will have plenty of free time! I recognise the importance of reliability within pet-care and can promise to communicate my availability in advance. I have a fenced garden and space for a crate if necessary (however you would have to provide this equipment). Apart from larger equipment (like a crate/car cage, etc.) I can provide most things myself, such as food and water bowls, toys, treats, leash, etc. However these are mostly there as a ‘just in case’ option, as it is always better to use equipment your pet is already familiar with to avoid any discomfort or stress.
“Rebecca was AMAZING, Very communicate, lots of pics sent, treated our cats amazingly, and left the house cleaner then when she arrived! Will absolutely use her again, every time she’s available!”
About: Me and my partner taken care of animals since we were young, looking after our own as well as families from all different stages of their pets lives.

I currently work a full time job but my hours are 8:30 - 5:30, 5 days a week so I will be available almost everyday after work to look after your loved animals. I would make sure that your pet has a fun filled day, whether that is going for long walks or cuddling, either way they will be in great hands. Getting treats as well as playing with toys with ensure that your pet with have a loving time. I will follow your advice with food/walks/training or anything along those lines to ensure that they are safe.

“Leanna and Lauren did an amazing job of looking after my 2 cats. They took the time to get to know the cats and their personalities and fussed & played with them as well as feeding them and administering medication (tablets and eye ointment) to one of the cats. They sent detailed updates and lovely photos. Unfortunately one of my cats became ill and they quickly identified the problem and let me know straight away. Using a cat sitter when my cat was unwell and needing medication was difficult but Leanna and Lauren showed a lot of care and compassion and were very reassuring. I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again.”
“We booked 4 overnight stays while we were on holiday and Hannah will definitely be my 'go to' from now on! My husband and I were able to enjoy some time abroad without worrying. Hannah took great care of Zatoona, our house, sent us updates with picture every evening and even left us an amazing drawing of Zatoona! Thank you, Hannah! 😊”

About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs and have always loved being around animals 🐱🐶. Over the years I’ve gained plenty of experience caring for cats and understanding their different personalities. I know that every cat is different – some love attention and playtime, while others prefer a calmer visit and a bit of quiet company. I’m happy to adapt to whatever makes your cat feel most comfortable in their own home. When caring for your cat, I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter tray, and plenty of attention so they feel relaxed and well looked after while you’re away.

“Becky is lovely. Teddy clicked with her immediately and treated her like a long lost friend. This was Becky's first visit to our house and I felt very comfortable with her. She clearly understands dogs very well and behaves in an affectionate and kind way towards them. I will definitely be in touch with Becky again.”

About: I have been taking care of other peoples pets since I was 15, when I started to walk a neighbours dog, soon other neighbours asked for help with dogs, cats, rabbits and also puppy pop ins and dog sitting. Then 19 years ago I became a dog owner myself. I work from home so I began to look after friends, family and neighbours dogs. I absolutely love dogs, I treat every dog like they’re my own, even if I’ve just met them for five minutes… I am giving kisses. (only if they want them of course) I have a senior dog myself and I looked after a senior dog for a few years so I have experience in older dog care, also having raised three puppies myself so I have knowledge in puppy care. I can promise lots of love, safety, trust and of course kisses. After I walk my dogs at 6.30am… My days are for furry friends either on dog walks, pop ins and house sitting. I have a couple of regular friends but still plenty of space for new friends ☺️ I’m currently not offering boarding due to my sweet girl (elderly lady) dealing with dementia, I need her environment to be calm. House Sitting… I was a babysitter for 10 years for 5 different families, I did some over night stays during that time. I also cleaned at a couple of private houses for 2 years whilst I was studying and I have experience of being a house-sitter.. therefore I am very aware of respectful behaviour when in someone else’s house. I will not share your location or any information regarding your home with anyone. I will keep things clean and tidy up after myself. I don’t smoke or drink. I always take my shoes off. ☺️
About: I have owned 2 dogs within my adult life, both from puppies. This means I have experience looking after puppies, training them and sticking to a routine. I have always been bought up around dogs, and my family has dogs too which I look after. I have a massive love for all dogs, regardless of their size and breed. Unfortunately my 2 dogs have passed away, leaving a massive hole in my heart and currently I am not in the position to have another… leading me to Rover to give me the opportunity to be around dogs still. I am currently working from home, so I have a lot of time to give your dog. I am available different times, for either drop in, walks, boarding or over night stays within your home. Within my house we have a big garden and lots of fields nearby, meaning I will be able to exercise your dog however works best for them. I do not have a fenced garden, but can put your dog on a long line should this be required. Otherwise I will always be present when they are outside going to the toilet.
“It has been an absolute pleasure getting to know Lily. Our nervous beagle,Bailey adores her! Lily is amazing with Bailey and I highly recommend her for both dog walks and doggie sitting 💕”

About: We understand from having dogs who do not like being left how important it is to have them cared for in a home environment. Our dog has full run of the house, sleeps on the bed and sofa and has three walks a day. My husband, Mark and I work from home and regularly look after friends pets when they go away from home. Recently, we looked after a springer spaniel for 6 weeks. However, our daughter is a vet so we understand that each dog has different needs and we would maintain any specific routine for your dog. Around 7 in the morning we go for our first walk of the day , then feed breakfast. Then another walk at lunchtime and we finish with an evening walk followed by supper. Our large garden is fully enclosed and dogs are not left on their own. Happy to follow a similar routine to what they have at their home.
“Thank you for looking after Coco for four days. She looked like she was having the best time playing with the other dogs and swimming every day. She has returned exhausted from her adventures. Thanks again x”
“Thank you so much for giving Coco 7 days of fun, adventure, cuddles and happiness. We got daily updates of fun in the sun and fun in the rain. First time leaving Coco for 7 days and so happy it was with you and your beautiful family. Thank you so much for welcoming her into your home. We def will be back again next time we go away.”
“We're so pleased we found Deb, as soon as we met her we knew Tobi (our puppy) was going to be well looked after, which gave us peace of mind leaving him for the first time,. He's come home happy and relaxed and has settled back into his usual routines. Thanks for taking such good care of him.”
“Pablo had such a lovely time staying overnight with Heather and her daughter. It was our first time using Rover and she made us feel so reassured and comfortable! Pablo loved playing with Heather’s dog Honey in their garden, and he came back such a happy and snoozy boy who had clearly had a fab time. We received regular updates and photos too - a perfect stay! Thanks so much Heather.”
“Braithwaite had an overnight stay with Peter and Jane, was treated to ball games, a 6 mile walk, plenty of cuddles. He was smiling so widely on collection so I can only say this is a 5 star dog sitter. Much appreciated”
“Marlena and her family are FANTASTIC and clearly ‘dog whisperers’! Our dog Tilley is quite nervous but she settled in so well to their home for the day. Marlena sent photos throughout the day of Tilley with her son and they clearly had a bond! Thank you so so much for looking after Tilley. She was shattered when we got back to our caravan and slept for the rest of evening!!! You are great! Jo, Kath & Tilley xx”

“As well as being genuinely lovely, Gabi is very knowledgeable about dog and puppy care, with plenty of experience. Her happy family of pets (two dogs and two cats) very much welcomed my pup and he had a great time on his visit. Her place is ideally suited for sitting too, with a big fenced off garden to play in. Gabi sent me lots of photos of Charlie while he was with her, and even gave me a poo update (as he's had a poorly belly so I was a bit worried on that front). She also gave me some helpful training guidance too. Big thanks!”
“First time in leaving my Cockerpom Finley with Rebecca . Obviously a bit worried to start with but I need not have been! Rebecca sent me regular updates with photos, he settled in straight away, has been loved and looked after - a second family! No hesitation in recommending Rebecca to other pet parents she has been amazing.”

THANK YOU”
“With it being Ambers first time away from us she she joined our family, we couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful, warm, friendly and playful environment for her to stay. Beth, Dan and Darcy really did make it a home away from home for her. So much so she didn’t want to leave lol! Beth and Dan are so lovely and even met with us before booking to make sure it was a right match for us all. During our time away Beth kept us up to date with messages and pictures of Ambers stay 🥰 It was so reassuring in knowing our not so little pup was in great hands and paws while we were away 🥰”
