Thanks so much for looking after our cocker spaniel Ralph he had a wonderful time, from the moment we dropped him off had lots of pictures of walks and of him playing. All of our instructions we left was adhered to from start to finish. We felt so settled for a weekend away. Thanks so much for everything and Ralph I’m sure he cant wait to come back. ❤️

Lindsey was such a lovely host for our dog and I would love to hopefully have Bagel visit again as he had such a fun time. He had a lovely wide range of walks and loads of fun. Thank you!!

About: I have been the go to pet sitter for all my friends for about 10 years! I have looked after a range of breeds, from American bulldog crosses to Cavapoos! I often do week long sits to cover holidays but also have done regularly weekly sits. Hiya! I work from home Monday-Friday with flexibility so lots of time and breaks to keep your pets entertained and cared for. I grew up with dogs and I have pet sat for friends for years. All dogs are welcome! I have a small fenced garden which is partly astroturf. I also live a short walk away from a dog friendly nature reserve. When pet sitting at the owners house I will just need access to internet so I can be flexible with my weekday job. Please do reach out with any questions. I am new to Rover but have 10 years of dog/cat sitting experience.

About: I’ve had my own dog from 10 weeks old. I also regularly care for pets of all sizes and backgrounds (Romanian rescues, large Doberman, Dachshunds, Spaniels) alongside my own for up to 2 weeks. I trained my own dog upwards of 40 commands, starting at 10 weeks old. I work from home 3/4 days a week and mostly set my own work schedule. So there is ample flexibility to fit pet needs around my working day. I have a fenced garden and a small, dog friendly pet of my own! I live in a quiet area with easy access to green spaces.

We needed someone to look after our pet dog Lucky for a weekend and found Jaye and her husband on Rover. They were an excellent find and took really good care of him. They welcomed him into their home, nothing too much trouble, plenty of walks and sent us photo updates. He had a great mini holiday and settled right in. Will definitely ask them to look after Lucky again in the future.

About: I have extensive experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and horses. I’ve grown up with pets and have also worked on farms and livery, giving me hands-on experience with both my own animals and others’. I love taking dogs on long walks, playing, and giving them lots of attention, and I’m equally comfortable relaxing at home with cats while keeping an eye on them. I’m enthusiastic, trustworthy, and genuinely care about each pet’s wellbeing. My experience with animals of all sizes and temperaments, from puppies to senior pets, allows me to provide reliable and compassionate care tailored to each individual. As a York St John university student, I have a flexible schedule and am free most of the time, allowing me to dedicate consistent care and attention to pets. I look after my own cat, Orbit, every day, and I’m passionate about giving animals love, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I provide pet care at the owner’s home, offering full attention to their pet’s needs. This includes regular walks, playtime, feeding, and any other care following the owner’s guidance to ensure each pet’s routine and wellbeing are maintained. I’m attentive, reliable, and always send updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and cared for.

I can't rate Sally highly enough. Use her once and you won't want to entrust your dog with anyone else. She is so patient with my reactive collie and walks her multiple times a day. She also keeps me up to date with pictures and videos so I can see how happy my girl is.

Rachel was wonderful with Logan! From our very first meet and greet, we felt completely confident that he would be in great hands. She took him on various walks and activities that he absolutely loved. I really appreciated the frequent photo updates throughout his stay, and it was great for him to have Marla’s company. Rachel was also incredibly helpful, offering to drop off Logan later in the evening, which helped us immensely with our travel plans. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Mando had a wonderful time staying with Ewan - I think he enjoyed his holiday as much as we did! Ewan sent lots of pictures and updates while we were away. With Ewan looking after your dog, you can have complete piece of mind they’re having a great time while you’re away.

Helen was fantastic! We left Ace with her overnight for his first night away from us so we were obviously a little worried and uncertain of how he would adjust but, because of how attentive and kind Helen was, he settled with very little disruption! She kept in contact with us, giving photos and little updates throughout our time away which obviously kept our minds at ease. He is a very high energy puppy but Helen was amazing in both her patience and endurance, and so welcoming. We will be delighted to use her services again! She kept to his routines and had no issues with his raw food diet and we can tell he had a lovely time.

We can’t thank Georgia and Will enough as the whole process from start to finish has been exceptional! Our boys Lucas, Norman and Walter were looked after so well during our weekend wedding celebrations and it was great that we received regular updates and photos which helped us feel relaxed. Our older boy (Lucas) has some mobility issues and uses wheels to get around and we were concerned this might be too much but it never was and we couldn’t be more happy that we found Georgia and Will to look after our boys! Thanks again 🥰

Maddie was super patient with our 3 month old puppy, Haribo. This was a booking made on extremely short notice due to a last minute cancellation by another sitter, and so we were extremely lucky that Maddie agreed to take him in for 2 nights. Moreover, she took the time to meet him before the booking and immediately put my and my husband's minds at ease. Haribo was definitely well-taken care of. She was very keen on sticking to his routines, was very caring and affectionate towards him. She took him to the dog park, watched Bluey with him, snuggled with him on the sofa, and took him out regularly. He had accidents but Maddie was so understanding about everything. Haribo def had the time of his life and is a happy pup 😍 we have requested another booking with her because she's amazing!

Rasa was great with my bouncy energetic standard poodle Teddy. He was so happy when I picked him up and looked well. He had a great time running around with Simba, (Rasas labrador ) in the large area of land at the back of the house. I would not hesitate to recommend Rasa to look after your dog and I will use her again. Thank you Rasa x

We were slightly apprehensive leaving our rescue Cockapoo as he is very needy and clingy. However, we needn't have worried, as he made friends with Lesley and almost seemed reluctant to come home with us! We would recommend Lesley to other dog owners.

My puppy, Dre, stayed with Lindsey and her partner, and their wonderful dog, Leo, for the first time, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I was nervous leaving him somewhere new, but they sent regular updates, photos, and videos that put me completely at ease. He was so well cared for, and it honestly felt like he’d been on his own little holiday. I’d 100% book again and highly recommend them ☺️🩷
