3. John S.
“This was the first time we had left our nearly year old Vizsla Zelda, and she was made to feel right at home by John and Shelly. Zelda enjoyed long, stimulating walks each day and snuggled down on the sofa afterwards for well earned rest. Regular pictures and messages from John reassured us that Zelda was in the best of care. We would not hesitate to leave her with John and Shelly again when the need arises. Thank you so much!”
4. Nicola H.
“Millie had her first overnight stay with Nicola, Rebecca and Teddy to see how it all goes. Nicola kept me updated throughout the stay how Millie was getting on. Millie got loads of cuddles and enjoyed her stay. Nicola and Rebecca are the nicest couple and Millie is going for another overnight stay before her big holiday with them in February. I am so relieved that I have found Nicola and Rebecca and know that Millie will be looked after with love.”

“This was the first time we have ever left Skylar and we were quite nervous as skylar is a very nervous dog and doesn't trust people she does not know. However Skylar took to Claudia pretty quickly and built a bond with her and became Claudia's shadow 🥰. We were provided with daily updates, photos and videos of Skylar having fun on her walks and snuggling up to Claudia, this made us feel relaxed and happy knowing Skylar was being cared for and looked after and the trust Skylar built up with Claudia was amazing. Thank you so much for looking after our little girl. Xx”

“We've never left Barney with anyone apart from family overnight but from our meet up we knew he would feel comfortable staying the night and he did. We received pictures and updates throughout his stay and knew he was comfortable and happy. Leanne is lovely, her and her daughters looked after Barney and he enjoyed his stay with them. Would definitely recommend and use again.”

11. Olivia C.
About: Hi, I'm Olivia and I'm a nail technician based at home. Over the years, I have looked after family, friends & clients' dogs - if it be just for the day, whilst they're on holiday, or simply they bring their dogs to their appts so I can have a cuddle! Since I work from home, the dogs in my care can have constant attention. My home will become their home whilst staying with me. Growing up, I have always had a dog - a Lab/Staffy mix, then a Jack Russell cross. For the past few years, our home has been without a pet, due to my love of travelling, but looking after other peoples' fur-babies when I get the chance it's always so lovely. I am new to Rover, so offering boarding at a discounted rate to gain reviews. Being a home based nail technician allows me to provide constant care for your dogs. My diary is very flexible so I can provide your dog as many walks/breaks as needed. I have a fenced back garden, plus a small low fenced front garden. Your dog will have free roam of the house but if you prefer, you can bring your own dog's crate for them to use.
12. Ashley W.
“We were away from Rex for the longest time we have ever left Rex and I felt 100% confident that Rex was having the time of his life with Tess, Molly and Ash. They alway keep me updated and send me plenty of pictures before I have to wonder if he is okay. The only negative is Rex cries when he comes home because he misses them all”
13. Sophie N.
“I was really nervous about leaving Poppy with someone else for the first time but I definitely didn’t need to worry. Sophie was fabulous, she sent me pictures of Poppy looking so content and chilled while she was with her and I now feel so relieved that I have found someone to give poppy a fab home environment if I need her again in future. I would 100% recommend Sophie.”
14. Julia E.
“Lovely friendly people. Excellent communication, meet and trial walk is a great way to start. Most importantly I think Julia is very honest which matters so much.”
15. Kathryn penny V.

17. Silvia S.
“Fantastic pet sitter. Silvia has a great house and garden that Noodles had free roam of during her stay. Silvia sent me photos and videos and was great with communication during the time I was away helping me to feel relaxed and comfortable that Noodles was safe and happy. Have already booked again! 😊 🐶”
18. Piotr O.
“Rufus was happy to go straight on a walk with Piotr. The photos and videos were a great reassurance that Rufus was happy and settled as this was his first night away from home. He's come home relaxed and even a bit calmer which is a bonus, we can also relax now the next time we go away. So glad we booked with Piotr!”
19. Kirsty D.
“Kirsty and her boys really looked after my 2 boxers Molly and Buddy... They absolutely loved spending time in her home and got treated like royalty. They looked like they had the time of their lives on the photos and videos that was sent throughout the 12 day stay, will absolutely be booking her again and would recommend to anyone. Thank you!”
20. Simonas A.
“Simon was amazing with Marlo. Marlo was upset to leave him which is a good sign that he had a great time. Definitely recommend and will be using Simon in the future.”
